Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] = The invention relates to the preservation of resources in the network, where there are a large number of poor sources in the network. More specifically, the present invention relates to preservation in a home network. , Λ, [prior art] W0 (Η / 50290 reveals a kind of user-oriented access and control system for the consumer electronic device network ^ "..." the poor source manager of the access control system The resource management benefit provides centralized resource storage and access control functionality for the home server of the system. Therefore, the user can only control the device provided by the user directly. Services. Wang controls the resources of the entire network resources: In the network,-resources may be able to provide several different: services can be performed more or less independently of each other. Therefore, it is necessary to mention two = resources can be used at the same time in the phase Different precautions > 75 xi tongue girl μ < 丨 ## I can use a total of 4 more effectively and enhance the applicability of these resources. [Summary of the invention] Therefore, the purpose of this party is to provide a user and application There is still a small number of non-existent inventions in the program—the Feiwei flexible resource management network. The i, and ^ systems provide a way to conserve network resources to provide increased available resource utilization efficiency. Way. Method] According to the first and the present invention, the purpose of controlling the information in the network is achieved by providing-', the network contains one or 98917.doc 200534648 multiple resources and one or more ·-For a client, the method includes the following steps: A client requests to save a client account, and the request contains one or more purpose parameters indicating one or more purposes of the saving; • The resource checks whether it can be used for the project @; if the resource is available, the resource is saved according to the request. According to the first-ability-brother-evil of the present invention, the above and other purposes are provided by providing a, ... 'Along the way, the network contains ... one or more resources; Φ one or more clients; use :: the client's request to save the resource or resources: parameters: seek to include-or According to the present invention, the above-mentioned and other purposes are adapted to perform the following steps: Realized by computer shout., Japan • Two =, Internet resources Request 'The request contains—or a number of purpose parameters indicating one or more purposes of saving; checking whether the resource is available for that purpose; and, if the resource is available, saving the resource according to the request. According to: According to the invention The third aspect of the computer program is preferably adapted to control the network resources according to the method of the first aspect of the present invention. The client is preferably a specific user. However, this ☆ mountain r A 4 The term "user" is interpreted as the user's specific needs or requests. Therefore, if the user has multiple needs and / ^, original services and / 98917.doc 200534648 or has multiple purposes for a resource, he or She can represent several clients. Therefore, two or more different requests originating from the same user can compete with requests originating from different users in the same way as the services provided by the resource. Alternatively or in addition, the client may also be a service or an application that requires a resource to provide a service to fulfill a user's request, for example. In this case, the service or application automatically requests the necessary services from the relevant resource: the purpose of the resource may be the various services provided by the resource. In the case where the resource is a printing device, the purpose may be, for example, to perform a specific print job. In the case where the resource is a clock, the purpose may be to set a clock, provide a time stamp, start a timer, and so on. Therefore, the save request is preferably accompanied by a list of additional parameters containing the purpose for which the client wants to use the resource. Therefore, this: Ming provides an improved utilization of network resources, because for 2 preservation, the poor source is saved purely for the specific purpose required in that particular situation 'and therefore the resource can be simultaneously owned by another (or even Is the same-the user saves for other purposes. Therefore,-the client based on the specific source = the source does not-will block other clients from using that resource. Each purpose can be-the materialization of the resource one or more times. There are a large number of available clients, and each client has a better target. For example :, Ding… Same—for -fixed number, and ten "view minds for-", update client " user 蜢 ,, The objective parameters for one or more nights preferably include the (or multiple types of types). Μδ ^ 4) Assets: The manufacturer can determine how many types of objects and materialization within the life of the resource. In addition,-resources can be In the second :: 98917.doc 200534648 change: the purpose setting, which can delegate the purpose to other resources, etc., thereby providing a flexible network and a very effective use of network resources. 9 Medium, only if still available When substantiated, the client = can save resources based on — or multiple purposes. Therefore, in the above example, the right client has requested "Update Client" until the first request has been executed or has been executed, other users The end can save resources based on this purpose. The other side: the right four clients have requested "observe the client", then the purpose is still available for its eight clients. Utilization of road resources. Objective: Materialization may have an individual lifespan, within which life-save is possible based on. For example, a notification window on a display device may only be stored for a limited time after interacting with the device. Otherwise, The user may miss the notification. From using the method, it may further include resources to perform the steps corresponding to the saved service. Therefore, in the case where the client requests printing of the P form to save a specific printing job, the printer subsequently executes the printing job. — Amaranth or in the case where the user terminal requests the use of a special communication link, the link is then provided, etc. In this embodiment, the method may include ^, m steps including The steps performed by the poor source: account charging. The charging can be performed by sending the bill to a credit card, withdrawing from a deposit account, and / or in any other appropriate manner. Request steps can be The resource interface is used to ^ go to the water. In this embodiment, users who want to save Minghe use the interface associated with the poor sources related to the inventory. Through this, the user enters relevant information. , Including the purpose parameter that indicates that the user wishes to use the source (s) of the source 98917.doc 200534648. It may be at least part of a network device. Therefore, the resource may be part of a network or a network. The channel device may be, for example, a printer, a vcr, a dvd player, a sub-unit, a warship, a processor time, etc. The gate or in addition, the resource may be a communication link, such as a wired communication key such as Contains external modems, ISD_ADSL connections, and communication links, such as wireless LAN links, infrared communication links, etc .; and good / or any other suitable type of communication link. Alternatively or in addition, the poor source may be a software component, such as a software driver, file, service, etc. The method may further include a step of querying resources for available purposes. In this way, the client can investigate whether the desired resource can be used for the desired purpose. If it is used :: The client can search for another identical or similar U 4 that can be used for the desired purpose. Equal Head = Header client data. In the request step, the next step of the query step performed through the resource interface is preferably also performed through the interface. The query step can be executed before the explicit request step. The purpose further comprises steps of the client based on one or more previously saved Lushan / sources. This can be done after the resource provides the corresponding service or if the user = finally finds that he or she does not need the save, and then completes it. This ::: provides a negotiation process between each client to take over each other's purpose, and even further enhances the flexibility of the use and preservation of network assets / sources. The method can further include the step 98917.doc 200534648 of verifying the client before executing the request. In this way, it is ensured that unauthorized clients cannot gain access to the services provided by the resource. The client can be further classified into many different levels, each of which has different access permissions. Therefore, the oldest client can access all the purposes of all network resources, and its = other clients can only access a limited number of resources and / or resource purposes ^ This method: further-including preservation The step source of at least one additional resource is necessary when the original source performs the service upon request. Therefore, in the interest of the matter: resources may have to be saved between the client and related resources in order to perform the services associated with the preservation. In this case, the save can be performed by itself. Bayesian, a combination of multiple purposes can be advantageously saved as a group, and the group of is invalid. /, =-In this embodiment, the resource may be a clock device. It is assumed that the client uses one of three types of destinations when fetching the clock: set time (two instances are available); create / delete timer (one instance is available); start timer (five instances are available). For the first purpose type, the old household cake can be the manager of the Huajian; for the second purpose type, the client can be the memory management :: the three purpose type is ancient, the Tian and the second, ° For any application client.忒 The two purposes are independent, and they use the same access rights. You can set the clock time only if you use a clock management for different types of clocks with different clocks, atomic clocks, or Internet time. Only the memory management timer (cancellation V 愔 駚, γ σ can generate additional counters). Any application can start the timer, as long as it can be used by 98917.doc -10- 200534648. Each client should save its purpose first, and then use the related functions or services provided by the resource. Although specific forms of the invention have been described in terms of preferred embodiments. Instead, the scope of the invention is limited to the scope of the accompanying patent application. In the context of patent applications, the term inclusion does not exclude the presence of other: pieces or steps. In addition, although two different features may be provided in different claims, they may be advantageously combined, and different things do not mean that the combination of multiple features is not included.
