Abstract

PURPOSE:To start an optional task without correcting driver's coding by dynamically securing the area of an interface information table (IFIT) and setting up a value in a variable constituting the IFIT to form the IFIT. CONSTITUTION:A definition file 4 defines the table name of an IFIT 9 and the variable name of a variable constituting the IFIT 9. A table information registering means 1 registers the contents of the file 4 in a table control table 6 and a variable control table 7. A data file 5 stores the table name of the IFIT 9 and a value to be applied to the variable constituting the IFIT 9. A table forming means 2 forms the IFIT 9 based upon the file 5 and the tables 6, 7. A task starting means 3 transfers the IFIT 9 formed by the means 12 to a task 8 to start it. Thus, the optional task 8 can be started only by setting up an optional value in an optional position (variable) of the IFIT 9 and forming a single or plural IFITs 9.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a task activation method, and particularly to a task activation method using a driver (an abduction program that activates a task during a task test, inspection, etc.; the same applies hereinafter). This invention relates to a task activation method that involves generation of an interface information table.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a driver has had a fixed size interface information table that stores the necessary interface information (hereinafter referred to as variables) when starting a task. That is, the driver generally describes the variables that make up the interface information table as coding within the driver.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional driver described above has a fixed number of interface information tables of a certain size as required, so it is necessary to change the variables I3+ (variable names and values) that make up the interface information table, and change the size of the ink interface information table. This method has the disadvantage that it cannot be easily dealt with when changes in color, addition of an ink face information table, etc. occur, and the coding of the driver must be corrected.

Furthermore, for this reason, the driver has the disadvantage that it can only start a specific task and cannot start any task.

In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to dynamically reserve an area for an interface information table, set values to variables constituting the interface information table, and generate an interface information table. ``We provide a task 8113 formula that allows you to start any task without modifying the code of the code.'' There are four things.

[Failure to solve the problem]

The task activation method of the present invention includes a definition file point that defines the table name of the interface information table and the variable names constituting the interface information table, and table information that registers the contents of this definition file in the table management table and variable management table. a registration means, a data file for storing table names of interface information tables and values given to variables constituting the interface information table, and based on this data file, the table management table, and the variable management table; Ink hue -
The ink face information table is generated by the table generating means, and the task starting means is configured to pass the ink face information table generated by the table generating means and start a task.

[Effect]

In the task activation method of the present invention, the definition file defines the table name of the interface information table and the variable names constituting the interface information table (7. The table information registration means inputs the contents of the definition file to the table management team and the variable management The table is registered, the data file stores the table name of the ink face information table and the variables that make up the interface information table, and the table generation means is based on the data file, table management table, and variable management table. The task starting means passes the generated interface information table to the table generating means and starts the task.

[Example] Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to two concave surfaces.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram that does not show the configuration of a task starting method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
, a task starting means 3, a definition file 4, a data file 5, a table management table 6, a variable management table 7, a task 8, and one or more interface information tables 9. Note that table information registration means 1. Table generation means 2. Task starting means 3
．． The table management table 6 and the variable management table 7 are included in the driver 10.

The table information registration stage 1 is means for registering the contents of the definition file 4 in the table management table 6 and the variable management table 7.

The table generation stage 2 is means for generating one or more interface information tables 9 based on the data file 5, the tail management table 6, and the variable management table 7.

The task starting means 3 is means for starting the task 8 by passing the multiple or plural interface information tables 9 generated by the table generating means 2.

The definition file 4 is a file that defines the table names of one or more interface information tables 9 used by the task B to be activated and the variable names forming each interface information table 9.

The data file 5 is a file that stores the table names of a set or plurality of interface information tables 9 used by the task 8 to be activated and the values given to the variables forming the interface information table 9.

Referring to FIG. 2, the table management table 6 is the table name of the interface information table 9.

Consists of multiple entries consisting of sizes and pointers. Note that the pointer is a pointer that points to the management address in the variable management table 7 of the first variable configuring the interface information table 9.

Similarly, referring to FIG. 2, the variable management table 7 is as follows:
It consists of multiple entries consisting of the variable name, size, and offset of the variable. Note that the offset represents the displacement of a variable from the first address in the interface information table 9.

Referring to FIG. 3, the processing of the task activation method of this embodiment includes a definition file input determination step 31, a table name registration step 32, a variable name registration step 33, a size and pointer cent step 34, and a registration completion step. Judgment step 35 and data file input judgment step 36
and secure the interface information table area Step 3
7, a value setting step 38 for the interface information table, a step 39 for determining completion of the interface information table, and a task starting step 40.

Next, the operation of the task activation method of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

First, the driver 10 assumes that the input file is the definition file 4.
If it is not the definition file 4, control is transferred to step 36, and if it is determined that the definition file is the definition file 4, the table information registration means 1 is activated.

The table information registration means 1 stores an interface information table 9 used by the task 8 to be started from the definition file 4.
Enter the table name and register it in the table management table 6 (Step 32), and create the interface information table 9 used by the task 8 that should also be started from the definition file 4.
The variable name, size and offset are input and registered in the variable management table 7 (step 33). Next, the table information registration means 1 stores the size of the interface information table 9 and the pointer to the variable management table 7 in the table management table 6 (step 34), and stores the interface information table 9 used by the task 8 to be activated.
Determine whether the registration of table names and variable names for the table management table 6 and variable management table 7 has been completed (step 35). If the registration of variable names to table management table 6 and variable management table 7 is not completed,
The table information registration means 1 returns the control to step 32 and repeats steps 32 to 35 to register the table management table 6 and variables of table names and variable names for the interface information tables 9 used by the task 8 to be activated. Register in management table 7,
If completed, control returns to step 31.

Next, the driver 10 determines whether the input file is the data file 5 (step 36), returns control to step 31 if the input file is not the data file 5, and starts the table generation means 2 if the data file is 5. .

The table generation means 2 inputs a table name from the data file 5, finds an entry with the corresponding table name from the table management table 6, and secures an area (real memory) of the interface information table 9 with a corresponding size ( Step 37). Next, the table generation means 2 inputs the value given to the variable from the data file 5, and refers to the variable name, size, and offset of the variable management table 7 to determine the position (variable) in the area of the interface information table 9 secured. (Step 3)
8), that is, based on the start address when the area of the interface information table 9 was secured in step 37 and the offset from the start of the interface information table 9 of the variable in the variable management table 7 and the size, Cent any value at any position (variable). Next, table generation means 2
Step 39) checks whether the generation of the interface information table 9 is completed, and if it is not completed, returns control to step 37 and executes step 37-3.
By repeating step 9, one or more interface information tables 9 used by the task 8 to be activated are generated.

When the generation of one or more ink interface information tables 9 used by the task 8 to be activated in step 39 is completed, the task activation means 3 uses the generated monk number or multiple interface information tables 9 as interface information. Task 8 to be passed and activated is activated (step 40).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a table information registration means, a table generation means, and a task activation means, and performs table management of the table name of the interface information table and the information of the variables constituting the interface information table from the definition file. The table and variable management table is now registered and the values from the data file are stored in the variables of the ink face information table.Thus, it is possible to change the area of the ink face information table without modifying the driver coding. Securing dynamic space 1-,
An advantage is that an arbitrary task can be activated by setting an arbitrary value to an arbitrary digit (variable) of the interface information table and generating one or more interface information tables.
