Hardware environment General personal computer systems, especially IMB personal computers, have been widely used in many sectors of society today to provide computing power. Personal computer systems are generally divided into desktop, upright or portable computers, which include a system unit containing a system processor, a display screen, a keyboard, one or more disk drives, and a fixed magnetic Disc storage device, an optional marking device such as -6-This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) Α4 specification (210X 297 mm) I 11 I 織 111 I ^ 訂 II 一 旅 (please read the notes on the back first Please fill in this page for details) A7 B7 i, invention description (4) mouse printed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs Central Consumer Bureau Cooperative Employees Cooperative, and an on-demand printer. These systems are mainly designed to provide independent computing power to a single user or a small group of users, and their price is not high, suitable for purchase by individuals or enterprises.

The first series, commonly referred to as Series 1, uses a bus architecture such as used in AT computers and other ΓΙβμ compatible machines. The second series, called Series 2 type, uses an IBM microchannel bus architecture for IBM PS / 2 models 50 to 95. The bus architectures used in Series 1 and Series 2 are both known to the Bank. IBM PC and XT are the previous models of the IBM personal computer series, and use Intel 808 8 processor. The next major change in the IBM personal computer system was the AT using Intel 80286 processors. The PS / 2 series uses different Intel processors. Systems similar to IBM PC and XT are PS / 2 model 30 systems, which use Intel 8086 processors. The Intel 803 86 processor is used in the IBM PS / 2 model 80 system and some IBM PS / 2 model 70 systems. Other systems of IBM PS / 2 model 70 and XP 486 of PS / 2 model 90 and XP 486 of model 95 use Intel 80486 processor. One of the common points of all the above systems is the use of Intel X86 series processors. There are a variety of commercially available and well-known software operating systems, such as DOS or OS / 2 operating systems, which can operate on various processors of the Intel X86 series. When the earliest series 1 type personal computer systems appeared, such as I BM P C, they also recognized the importance of achieving software and hardware compatibility. In order to achieve this goal, it will be -7-this paper scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4% grid (210Χ297mm) 『丨 installation ------ ^ ordering ---:-(line (please read first Note on the back and then fill out this page) A7 _______B7 printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Invention Description (5) Establish a system-resident code isolation layer called "microcode" between hardware and software. This The code provides an operating interface between the user's application // operating system and the hardware device to ease the user's concerns about the characteristics of the hardware device. Finally, this code has developed into a basic input / output system (BI〇S ), To add the newly added hardware device to the system, and at the same time separate the application / operating system from the characteristics of the hardware device. The importance of BI〇s is quite straightforward because the BIOS can make the device driver not Relying on the specific hardware device characteristics, it also provides the device driver with an interface between the hardware devices. Because B 10 S is part of the computer system and controls the data output and input of the system processor, it is resident The system unit of the system unit is transferred to the user by means of read-only 5 memory (R Ο Μ) or erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM). For example, in the earlier IBM pc The BIOS occupies 8K bytes in the ROM that resides on the motherboard (one kilobyte represents the size of 104 bytes). In addition to r 〇μ, the motherboard also includes the system processor , A main random access memory (RAM), and other components that are actually fixed on the motherboard in a coplanar relationship. The ROM also contains a power-on automatic test (P 0 ST) program, which is used for testing And initialize the computer system. The total set of codes residing in the computer system ROM is known as "system firmware J, or simply" firmware. "Therefore, the firmware contains a POST part and a BIOS part. Sometimes the BIOS is The POST program is included. When new models of this personal computer series are introduced, the firmware must be updated and expanded to support new hardware devices such as input / output (I / O) devices. I can expect the firmware The memory size starts to increase. For example, IBM The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297mm). ^ F —installed ---- 1 .-- 'order ---.-- (line (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this Page) A7 ____B7_ printed by the Employees ’Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Description of the invention (6) When the PC AT came out, the firmware had grown to require 32K bytes of ROM. When the IBM Personal System / 2 came out, it would be Developed a computer system that includes a micro-channel architecture, that is, a new BIOS or advanced BIOS or ABIOS. However, to maintain software compatibility, the BIOS from Series 1 must be included in Series 2. Series 1 Type B10 S later became known as compatible B10 S or CBIOS. Therefore, Bios has developed into more than one type, such as a compatible basic input output system (CBIOS) and an advanced basic input output system (ABIOS). The current architecture of the personal computer system defines that the system address space (system firmware address space) for firmware up to 28KB can be allowed. At present, due to the continuous development of new technologies, personal computer systems are becoming more and more complex and new functions are being added faster. Because new technologies change rapidly and new I / O devices are added to personal computer systems, firmware modification and expansion have become important issues in the development cycle of personal computer systems. With the introduction of the microchannel architecture, IBM provides a new configuration procedure called Programmable Option Selection (POS). The POS system is designed to allow the installation and expansion of new parts of the system. It is easier and less error-prone than the average PC by eliminating the use of DIP switches, jumpers and connectors. The low power, battery pack CMOS memory PS / 2 system can remember its hardware configuration. This configuration includes the identification of expansion devices and how these expansion devices are related to other parts of the system. Each expansion card designed for microchannels has a unique identification number. When the system starts up, the PS / 2 system compares the installed options with the information in its non-volatile memory to detect changes ’to ensure the integrity of its settings. The configuration file is automatically incorporated into the file system using a standard disk (Reference Diskette) during the configuration process.

Description of the invention (7) In some IBM PS / 2 systems, such as the models 70 and 80, the standard disc contains a companion computer The system also stores soft disks with system configuration information. Although the configuration process of the PS / 2 system is quite simple and easy to perform, standard discs must be kept at hand for easy access or storage. However, it may be from the previous system After a certain period of time after installation, the standard discs will be lost or misplaced. Therefore, it is necessary to store a copy of the standard discs on the DASD. In the US Patent No. invented by Arnold et al. No. 5 128 995 discloses a device for loading system standard disc content (image) from the system part of DASD, wherein the dASd has a protected area for storing boot § recorded, BIOS program content (image ) And—system Quasi-disc. A part of DASD needs to be protected to prevent the BIOS from being contaminated or destroyed. During a certain system operation, such as when the processor is under the control of the operating system or when it executes an application, it will be The controller is configured to omit the acceptance of protected areas. More and more personal computer systems are linked together to provide an information processing network (such as a local area network or LAN) to enable multiple information processing systems Change information, share I / O devices, and use a special direct access storage device (DASD), such as a special hard disk file (hardfUe) or diskette. In general, the information network contains multiple names Information processing systems for "customers" and at least one manager processing system called "servers", all systems are interconnected or networked via a communication medium, such as copper wires and / or fiber optic cables. Generally, the network communication achieved through the subsystem components (that is, the client system or the servo system) is handled through the communication network card device _____________-10-This paper standard .

‘These network cards are compatible with one or more network communication protocols, such as characterization rings or Ethernet. Therefore, wireless mobile clients have been developed that use various radio frequency or infrared radiation protocols to connect to a server. The problems discussed in the wired LAN basically also appear in the wireless LAN. The main advantage of a networked information processing system is clearly its ability to provide multiple types of information communication among multiple information processing systems. In this information, the communicators in the network can be related to the status and / or configuration of the system itself. The configuration information can be processed in various types to perform diagnosis or notify each other's configuration and capabilities to other networked information processing systems, etc. The system configuration information has been used to detect large network systems before Error condition. For example, IBM's system 390 is designed to monitor its performance in a networked system in a real-time manner. Once an error condition is detected, a dormant $ formula is executed to isolate the error condition from a flaw system component. Thereafter, information about the detected error condition and the diagnosis result is communicated to a central station via a modem on a telephone line. The real-time error monitoring and error communication capabilities of the systems of the prior art are generally included in the system hardware architecture and / or operating system or application software. Unfortunately, the real-time error detection implemented in large computer system networks is not suitable for small information processing systems such as personal computers. The reason is partly because the existing standard operating systems, such as DOS and WINDOW, cannot support error analysis and reporting capabilities that can be used in larger systems. More importantly, the current central processing capabilities of personal computer systems cannot achieve real-time configuration monitoring, error detection, and return. -11-This paper scale is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297mm) ---- · --- 1 --- ^ 丨 installed ---- 1 .-- order ---.-- {Travel (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) Printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Escalation Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5.

Instructions between the invention description (18) and the I / O device. If the information processing system (such as 102B) is medialess (ie does not have DASD Or floppy disk drive), a remote initial program loading (RIPL) is performed via the communication network card 231. This network card can, for example, be connected to one of the processors 232 in a known manner and allows self-networking The road server 102 starts an operating system. POST contains a startup program for finding a startup device and loading a startup record. The startup device is usually a hard disk file 106 or a drive 108, and if it is a medialess client It is a server 120. The drive 108 needs a boot or operating system disk (media, not shown) to operate. If P OST successfully loads the boot record of the boot device, POST will hand over control to The startup note ， Complete the operation of POST startup program. If the startup record cannot be loaded and there is a PRL network card, POST will transfer control to the PRL program. If no PRL program appears, POST prompts the user to indicate that a startup source is required .CBI0S is necessary for the computer to start the program. CBI0S provides a variety of services, including access to the hard disk building 106 and the drive 108.

Description of the invention (during the period of I9 post, the current system configuration can be decided and the The system configuration information predetermined and pre-stored in NVRAM 248 is compared. The content of the iml program is specific to the system processor and is stored in a system partition of the storage device. If the storage device is a floppy disk The disc in the machine is a part of the disc. The content of the IML program stored on the system partition—part of pOST and a reference program content containing routines for setting and / or diagnosing the system hardware. The reference image content (reference image) is loaded and executed when PQST detects an error caused by configuration changes. The contents of the reference program can also be loaded in accordance with a preset key sequence. If the storage device is a hard disk file 106, the system is divided and stored in a protected area of this storage medium to prevent important iIML program contents from being accidentally destroyed. In the system of model 9 〇 and 95 of BM ★ The protected system partition is stored in the last part of the storage medium and occupies 3 million bytes of storage space.

Invention description (2〇) You can change it by By the user. First, the information processing system determines whether there has been a hardware configuration change from IML to POST (block 503). This decision is made by comparing the current system configuration with the predetermined system configuration stored in NVRAM 248. If there is no change, it is determined whether there is a user-initiated configuration change (block 504). This decision can be made by detecting the default typing sequence performed by the user in a known manner. If no user-initiated configuration changes, the operating system is loaded (block 505). However, if P 0 S T determines that the hardware configuration of the system is changed, then a certain system configuration information is collected and communicated on the network before being loaded into the operating system (block 506). The system configuration information can include one or more error codes for network card failure, NVRAM, CMOS and BIOS data areas and their information. Then load the reference program content from the system partition and execute it to store the current system configuration in NVRAM 248. If the post determines that there have been attempts by the user to initiate a system configuration change, it then decides whether to allow the system to split access (block 5 07). If not allowed, the system configuration information is collected and communicated on the network (block 508), and then loaded into the operating system (block 509). However, if the system is allowed to split access, it is determined whether the access requires authorization from an administrator's information processing system such as the server 102 (block 510).

Although both techniques can be used to solve the same problem, the final solution to the problem is always quite different. This difference is caused by the completely different design focus of the program technology and the 0 0 technology. The focus of the procedure-based design is on the entire procedure to solve the problem, while the design of the technology is focused on how to decompose the problem into a group of autonomous entities that can work together to provide a solution . The automatic entity of 00 technology is called an object. In another way, the reason why the 〇〇 technology is very different from the program technology is because the problem is decomposed into a group of connected objects, rather than into a nested (nested) computer.

The term "frame work" (frame work) With the evolution of technology, there are certain terms or vocabulary that have special meaning for people who are familiar with design. However, readers should note that one of the broadest meanings of 00 technology is "organization system"-the fixed word. The significance of the organizational system is different for everyone. Therefore, when comparing the characteristics of the two proposed organizational systems, readers should take care to make sure that the comparison is the same entity comparison of "apples t0 apples". As will be explained more clearly below, the term 'organization system' is used in this description to describe a design or 00 organization with core and expandable functions. The core function is the part of the organization that will not be affected by the modification of the purchaser of the organization system. On the other hand, the expansion function is a part of the organization that has been clearly designed to be customized and expanded by the purchaser of the organization system. 〇 〇 Organization In general, 00 organizations can be properly characterized as a 〇〇 solution ', but there is still a fundamental difference between an organization and the basic 〇〇 solution. The difference is that the organization is designed in a way that allows and encourages the solution to be customized and expanded in certain ways. In other words, the organization has more than one way to solve the problem. These agencies provide a living method that can be customized and expanded to indicate individual needs that change over time.

I The designer of the organization system selects objects from the so-called problem domain to determine which objects are needed by an organization. The problem area is an abstract view of the current specific problem. An example of the problem area selected for the organization shown in this example is zoo management. The specific problem is to design an institution that can assist the animal steward to care for and feed the animals in the garden. In the zoo management organization system (ZAF) of this example, the designer of the organization system will consider the animal problem area and decide that any ZAF must include a relationship between the animal administrator and the animal (that is, how to care for the animal administrator Move-27-This paper ruler > ^ Applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297mm) 'Printed by the Employees Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 2 ^ 422 at ____B7_ V. Description of invention (25)) mechanism. The designer of the organization system may also realize that the animals in the garden are usually kept in cages, pens, water tanks and other types of confinement units. Therefore, the designer of the organizational system will first think that the organizational system must contain institutions that represent all these fundamental entities and relationships. When starting the design process, the designer of the organization system may start the work with a so-called category diagram. The outline map is used to describe high-level organizations and how these organizations are related to each other. Figure 7 is an example of the outline of the organization ZAF. Each organization in this outline map represents a group of objects that can perform a special function. For the sake of explanation, it is assumed that the designer of the organization system decided that ZAF should be composed of four high-level institutions: zoo management institution, animal administrator institution, animal institution and confinement unit institution. As shown in FIG. 7, the zoo management agency is designed to use an animal stewardship agency to manage the zoo. Therefore, the zoo management organization can be regarded as having a usage relationship with the animal management organization. The zoo management agency has been designed to be responsible for the overall control of ZAF. Therefore, the zoo management agency is responsible for scheduling the operations of the animal management agency. Please also note that the designer of the organization system designs the zoo management organization as a ZAF core function, which means that the zoo management organization will not be affected by possible customization and expansion. The C in the outline box is to mark this point. Please also note that the usage relationship between the zoo management agency and the animal management agency has also been designed, so it cannot be customized by the organization system consumer. The animal management agency is designed to be responsible for the care and feeding of the animals in the park. Therefore, it uses animal institutions and confinement unit institutions to perform its tasks.

Invention Instructions (26). However, the difference from the design of the zoo management organization lies in the design of the organization system The animal administrator organization is designed as an extension function, which means that the design of the animal administrator organization can be modified and / or expanded by the organization system designer to explain the future care and feeding needs. This point is marked with E on the animal In the outline of the administrator ’s organization, the designer of the organization system designs the animal organization to represent the animal relationship between the animals in the park and the animal management shells. Since the number of animals in the zoo changes regularly, the animal organization must also be designed as Expansion of functions. The confinement unit mechanism can interact with the animal care agency because it represents various confinement units such as pens, water tanks and cages. Animal institutions have generally been designed as an expansion function, so that they can handle future customization and expansion needs. However, please note that even if the animal administrator, Guzhong Animal and Confinement Unit and other institutions have been designed to charge, but this The relationship between other organizations is still designed as the core function of ZAF. In other words, even if ZAF consumers need to be given flexibility about animal managers, animals and institutions, they still cannot be allowed to change consumers. = How the relationship is related. The designer of the organization system will design the classification and relationship of the organization as shown in the following figure. The definition of classification is a group of similar objects. Therefore, the classification can be regarded as the abstract concept of objects or the type of objects Definition. From the perspective of a computer system, a single object represents a set of encapsulated data and a set of operations that can be performed on that data by a computer system. In fact, in a reliable computer system, access to an object The only way to control the information is through the object itself. This is why we say that it is contained in one = piece 29-winter paper ruler Applicable to China National Standard (CNS) Α4 specification (2 丨 Οχ297 Gongqing) ----.-- 1 --- ^ 1 Pack ---- Γ .-- Subscribe ---.-- (j (please first Read the precautions on the back and fill in this page) A7 B7 Printed by the Employees ’Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. The information in the description of invention (27) is the reason for the encapsulation of the object. Each is a class It includes data definitions that define the information controlled by the object, and operation definitions that define the operations performed by the objects on the data controlled by each object. In other words, a classification definition is defined by An operation or a group of operations performed on the defined data (please note that operations are sometimes called methods, method programs, and / or component_functions) can define how an object functions and how to respond to other objects. As a whole, the data defined in the operation is regarded as the behavior of the object (behavior). So in essence, a classification definition can define the behavior of its constituent objects. Figure 8 shows the OO classification chart designed by the organizational system designer for the basic classification of ZAF. Each classification representation contains its relationship with the organization of FIG. For example, we can find that the classification of animal managers comes from the organization of animal managers as shown in the figure. The basic classification of ZAF includes: zoo administrator classification, which is part of the zoo management organization; animal registration classification, which is part of the animal management organization; animal management classification, which is also part of the animal management organization; confinement unit registration Classification, which is also part of the animal management agency; Animal classification, which is part of the animal agency; and Confinement unit classification, which is part of the confinement unit organization. Please also note again that the relationship between these classifications has been designed with ZAF as a core function so that it cannot be finally modified by ZAF consumers. The zoo administrator classification is defined as an object responsible for the overall control of ZAF. Also, the 00 categories all define objects that can interact to provide a solution to the problem. However, by using the characteristics defined by these classifications, we can understand how these objects of the organization are designed to provide a kind of order (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page). -30

Description of the invention (28) The system and / or expansion to indicate the solution to future needs. The zoo management classification system is expected to have a usage relationship with the management and registration. The designer of the organization system of the present invention has designed the zoo management classification and animal registration classification as the core functions of ZAF, because the designer has decided that ZAF (consumers should not be allowed to modify the behavior of objects that constitute part of these classification definitions). There are _ types of animal management shell registrations referred to as reference content relationships among the categories of animal stewards, but only one kind defines the classification of _ item objects, and this object is the content of all animal manager objects (containers). Therefore, The animal steward registration contains a list-Zoo〇keepers (list-Z〇〇_keepers ⑴ job definition. As described below, this job is responsible for providing a list of animal steward objects to request this list Other objects. Figure 9 does not categorize zoo administrators—lower-level view. Because zoo administrator-type objects are responsible for the overall control of ZAF, zoo administrator categories have been designed to include tasks that are performed in zoo management. Assignments. This classification defines the assignments as follows: 5-minute-timer 〇 (5_minute_timer ()), adding animals ) (Add_animal ⑴, add-containment-unit 〇 (add_containment_unit〇), add animal administrator () (add-zoo_kepper〇), and start_zoo-administration () (start-zoo_admin ()) 〇 启 始 -zoo- The management () operation is responsible for starting ZAF. That is, the user or system administrator will interact with the start_zoo_management 0 operation to start the management of a zoo through Z AF.

Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Every 5 minutes, the 5_minute-timer () operation instructs the animal manager to inspect the animal outside. Add / delete—animal-administrator operations are responsible for interacting with ZAF users to define additional animal administrators (ie, additional animal administrator categories), plus additional animal management negatives (ie, animal administrator objects), And remove the animal manager classification and / or objects. As will be described more clearly below, each animal steward object is responsible for performing a specific animal fixing task. Therefore, users of ZAF will naturally want to add an animal steward definition and object to handle an additional zoo task, or want to remove a definition or object that is no longer needed. It should be found that by designing the animal management organization as an expansion function, the flexibility of the system can be provided. Add / delete-animal () operation is the same as add / delete-animal-administrator operation. It is responsible for interacting with users to define additional animal classifications and objects in the garden, and remove classifications and objects that are no longer needed. Also, the increase of zoos and the removal of animals are quite natural. Add // Delete-Confinement Unit () Operation Define the newly added confinement unit category and objects, and remove the categories and / or objects that are no longer needed. In addition, the designer of the organization system designs ZAF to provide flexibility by designing the animal mechanism and the confinement unit mechanism as extended functions.

Turning now to Fig. 8, there is a kind of usage relationship between the definition of animal administrator classification and animal registration, animal, confinement unit registration and confinement unit classification. Since ZAF consumers are allowed to customize and expand the classification of animal stewards, animals and confinement units, the value of ZAF can be increased, so these classifications are designed to expand functionality. However, changing the registration of animals and confinement units can mess up the basic operations of ZAF. Therefore, these classifications are designed to be ZAF.

The core function of the invention description (3〇). Fig. 10 is a classification diagram of animal administrators. However, before describing the content of FIG. 10, I would like to point out that the classification definition shown in FIG. 10 is a simple order called classification hierarchy. The most general / conceptual classification in a classification hierarchy, such as the animal steward classification, is called the basic classification of the hierarchy. The order of classification in the classification hierarchy is from the most common to the least common (ie, from general to specific classification order). Less general classifications (such as feeder classifications) can be regarded as inheriting characteristics from more general classifications (in this case, animal manager classifications). Therefore, the feeders, veterinarians and temperature controllers in the classification definition can be said to be sub-categories of the animal administrator classification. The inheritance mechanism will be described in more detail in the description accompanying the picture. As shown in FIG. 10, the animal administrator classification definition includes a single operation definition, namely inspection-animal () (check_animals ()) operation definition. Readers should also note that the definition of animal steward classification is marked as an Abstract classification. Abstract classification is not designed to make the created object a part of it-it is used to define a common interface / protocol for its sub-categories. When at least one of the operations definition of a certain category is purely virtual operation definition, the category can be said to be an abstract category. The design purpose of pure virtual job definition is only to define the sub-category definition of the job-common interface. In other words, the design of actual behaviors (ie data and operations) is left to the sub-categories themselves. In the example of the classification of animal stewards, subcategories such as feeders, veterinarians, and temperature controllers define the specific implementation of the pure virtual inspection-animal () work definition contained in the animal stewards classification. When a job is set to zero, the job is marked as a pure virtual job. -33-The size of this paper is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297mm). ^ 丨 Installed ---- ^ Order ---'-- f line (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page ) 5. Description of the invention (3〗) 2 The following point is very important to note that a common interface for a pure virtual operation must be recognized by all sub-categories so that the requested object (called the client object) can be used Sub-categories make up objects (called servo objects) without having to know the specific sub-category of the servo object. For example, whenever an object defined by the zoo park manager category needs to perform a special action, the object interacts with an animal steward object. Because the surface of these objects is in the abstract basic classification of animal managers and remains in the definition of the sub-classification of inspection-animal 0 operations, zoo administrator objects do not need to have special knowledge about the sub-classification of any service objects. In this way, the person involved in the action (that is, the part of the zoo's objects) can be separated from the implementation of the action (that is, the objects that are classified by animal management). Designs that use abstract classification features (such as ZAF design) are called polymorphic (polym () rphie) design. Polymorphic design is extremely important for 00 organization system design, because it allows a certain item to be completed (called an implementation). Or expand, without affecting the organization that depends on the actions actually performed. In other words, customer objects only need to know that some objects are performing a certain function, and there is no need to understand the actual implementation of these functions. H An appropriately designed organizational system can be customized and expanded immediately to meet future needs. One way. As mentioned earlier, the designer of the organization system designed ZAF so that animal steward objects can interact with animals and confinement unit objects to perform their tasks. Figure 11 is a classification diagram of the abstract classification animal classification hierarchy. Because the animal classification boundary is responsible for representing the behavioral characteristics of the animals in the park, the designer of the organization system designs the abstract classification animal in a way that reflects this responsibility. As a group ____________- 34-This paper scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS> A # Specification (21〇Χ297mm) A7 B7 printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs V. The invention description (32) is shown in the example The definition of animal classification includes feeding_freq, location and temperature-temp range defined by data, and obtaining_temp_range () (feeding_temperature_range ()), feeding 〇, need_ Food () (needs_food), need_veterinary_inspection () (needs_vet_visit) and veterinary_inspection () (vet_visit ()). For the purpose of this organizational system overview, it is not necessary to develop the details of each definition However, the definition of temperature_range data and the acquisition of _temperature_range () and the definition of feeding 0 are good examples of carefully conceived organizational system design choices. The definition of feeding 0 is designed to perform the actual feeding of animals Feeding (that is, it is executed by a specific feeding device, not shown in this device garden). The feeding () operation is a pure virtual operation. As mentioned before, this indicates that the design of the classification is to Leave the actual organization that performs the required function to be defined by the sub-categories. If the objects created as part of these sub-categories have specific needs, the way that the sub-categories need to be defined is a good design choice. In ZAF, for example, each animal may require a specific feeding device, which is not only difficult to define for general feeding operations, but also useless. By way of comparison, the organizational system designer clearly designed to obtain _Temperature_Range operation so that it is not defined as a purely virtual operation. This means that obtaining _Temperature_Range 0 has been generally defined as a default operation. Therefore, it can be regarded as a virtual operation. In order to provide general functions for sub-categories. These sub-categories can simply use these missing operations, or through redefinition (redefinition) can customize or expand these missing operations. In order to override this missing operation.

Description of Invention (33) Mammals are a sub-category of classified animals, so mammals also inherit all the characteristics of classified animals. Please Note that the classification of mammals can also be designed as an abstract classification. As mentioned above, this means that the classification is not designed to use the created objects as its constituent components, but is designed to provide a common interface to its sub-categories. The classification of mammals is further divided into carnivores and herbivores. Since the definition of feeding () operations has been reserved for sub-categories, each sub-category of carnivorous animals and herbivores has its own definition of feeding () operations. As mentioned earlier, this is a good design choice because carnivorous animals that eat meat have different needs than grass-eating animals that eat grass. The temperature_range is a data definition that matches the temperature range of a particular animal ’s natural habits, and the acquisition_temperature_fanyuan0 job definition is designed to take out the temperature_range for a particular animal and send it back to 1. Request a customer object defined by the information. The subcategories of reptiles contain their own temperature range data definition and their own acquisition_temperature_range 0 operation definition. ZAF is designed in this way to indicate that data definitions can be overwritten just like job definitions. Since many reptiles grow in desert areas that are cold at night and hot in the day, the missing temperature_range definition is overwritten in the reptile classification to include time and temperature information (not explicitly shown in Figure 11). This is another good design choice because it allows ZAF to make temperature adjustments based on the time of day and the current temperature of the confinement unit itself, while the reptile confinement unit is different from other confinement units. FIG. 12 is a classification diagram of confinement unit classification with a lower-order viewpoint. This category of confinement units contains a virtual job definition: adjust_temp (). This adjustment-the definition of temperature () defines that the paper size used for actual adjustment of the animal is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) Binding and binding (line (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this Page) 5.

How does the interaction of ZAF objects except the design contain a solution to solve a specific problem In addition to objects, the designer of the heart organization system of the present invention must also design the relevance of each object. In other words, these objects must be able to be related to each other by the way they were designed. The operation method of the defined operation on the data defined for the object is called object behavior. Although objects can be characterized as automatic entities, when objects are related to each other, each object still exhibits consistent behavior. It ’s still very important. The reason why the behavior of consistency is important is that objects rely on the consistent behavior of other objects to make themselves behave the same. Behavior. In fact, the behavior is so important that the behavior of an object is usually called a contract between the object and other objects. When an object does not exhibit consistent behavior, it is said to have been destroyed. The contract between it and other objects. When an operation of an object requires access to data controlled by another object, the object is regarded as a client of the other object. Access is controlled by the other object Data, one of the client ’s operations is to call or invoke one of the operations of the other object to access the data controlled by the other object. Then perform one of the operations of the called object (in In this example, it is a servo operation) to access and / or manipulate the data controlled by the called object.

However, readers should read the following (simple control process There is a fundamental understanding of the interaction between materials and objects to solve problems. As mentioned earlier, objects are created as a component of a specific classification. Therefore, the zoo administrator Rida (object 7〇6) is-zoo management The objects that constitute the component (in fact, the only component) are classified. Therefore, the object Zelda is responsible for the overall control of ZAF. All animal administrator objects are registered as animal administrator objects (object 70. ) To register. Therefore, the object Ruida can obtain a list of existing animal administrators by calling the animal administrator to register the list of objects-animal-administrator (liSt_Z〇o_keppers〇) operation (step 丨). The animal administrator registration object has been created as a component of the animal administrator registration classification. For the sake of explanation, it is assumed that it occurs every 5 minutes and is part of the 5-minute-timer () operation of Rhett. The animal manager registers the object and then responds with the animal manager list (step 2). This list of animal stewards includes temperature inspector Tina (Object 714), veterinarian Wen Sheng (Object MO) and animal feeder Fred (Object 752). Each animal manager has been created as a component of the animal manager classification. In particular, objects such as temperature inspector Tina Wensheng and silver breeder Fred are classified as components of temperature controllers, veterinarians and feeders. The temperature 0 (Temp0) operating system is polymorphic. It ’s easy to say that the object Tina ’s check-animais () (check-animais〇) operation does not require special knowledge about how to perform its tasks for each temperature adjustment () (adjUSt-temp ()) operation-animals 0 operations only need to comply The interface stipulates and calls the adjustment-temperature operation. After that, adjust the temperature (0) separately to complete the work properly. 38-This paper standard is applicable to the Chinese national standard ((2 丨 〇χ297 Gongqing) (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) .

The present invention provides an organization system β Η that converts Ηττρ into protocol independent commands used by the transport layer through the mapping block The communication between the TTP requester and the mapping block can be one of two types. The mapping block may be a gateway HTTP feeder that receives HTTP requests from TCP / IP and uses NetB 10S through the transport layer. , IPX, or serial protocol to plan routing. This configuration allows the use of a general web browser to access HTTP servers that are not directly connected to TCP / IP. Installed on computers that do not have any TCP / IP connection In other words, both the HTTP requester and the web browser must be directly integrated with the mapping block. The HTTP server is always integrated with the mapping block. The present invention can include this by rewriting the loopback end of a browser 'Map block' or by creating the map block as a gateway for HTTP requests sent by the browser, etc. -39 This paper standard applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X25 ) 7 Gongyu) · | Binding ----- from f (please read the notes on the back before filling in this page) Printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Economics of the Ministry of Economy V.
