Similarly, the optical disc (147) can be inserted into the alkane disc drive (146), and the optical disc drive (146) is also connected to the bus bar (130) by a controller (145). Finally, the hard disk (152) is part of a hard disk drive (151) which is connected to the busbar (130) by the controller (150). Several devices provide computer (100) input and output. For example, a keyboard and mouse controller (155) is connected to the bus bar (130) to control a keyboard input device (156) and a mouse input device (157). A DMA controller (160) is provided to perform direct memory access to the system RAM (110). The video controller (165) generates a visual display, and the video controller (165) controls a video output display (170). The display (170) generates a two-dimensional pixel array under the control of the computer system (100), and can independently control the two-dimensional pixel array to form an image. Other input and output devices such as sound card, video card, or special-purpose interface card can also be connected to the system via the expansion slot (190). These input and output devices are shown as multimedia devices (80-83) in the figure . Operating system software such as the OS / 2 (R) operating system (supplied by IWC (Boca Raton, Florida)) roughly controls and coordinates the computer (100). The operating system provides resource management for the entire computer system, including process execution, memory, management scheduling, file system services, network connections, scheduling and input / output services, and user interface display. User application software, such as editing application software and spreadsheet application software, are directly or indirectly dependent on these and other capabilities of the operating system. In addition, modern computers use more multimedia technologies to store, organize, and present more types of data, including text data and digits. ___- L · This paper standard is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) 1--I — ^ 1 «— ^ 1 1--II " · Shixi-II II-II--1 ^ 1 --US.- 呑 m (please read the back page first (Notes and then fill out this page) A7 B7 Printed by the Central Standard Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Ministry of Economy V.

For example, a computer using multimedia technology can play video data and audio data in order to use a multimedia device (80-83) to generate a video shot of a movie segment on a display (170) and generate a synchronized audio output. In order to control the multimedia device (80_83) according to the present invention, the user controls the computer (100) via an object-oriented graphical user interface, which is generated by the operating system and controlled by the application program, And displayed on the display monitor (170). Those familiar with this technology should understand that object-oriented programming (Object_Oriented Programming; OOP for short) technology involves the definition, creation, use, and destruction of " objects. &Quot; The software entities of these objects include data units, and The routine or method of operating the data unit. The software treats data and related functions as one entity, and can generate, use, and delete these data and related functions as a single item. These data and functions can be combined Objects simulate the characteristics and behaviors of almost any real-world entity, where data units can represent such features, and data manipulation functions of data units can represent that behavior. By creating a class " (" class "), define objects, The category is not the object itself, but the category can be used as a template to indicate-how the program compiler constructs the actual object.

At the same time, a special function called a destructor destroys objects during execution. When an object is destroyed, the allocated memory space comes out. Use the object's Data, and call objects :: functions, ready-to-use objects. The main benefits of Yangware-oriented programming technology are due to three basic principles: encapsulation, polymorphism, and inheritance More specifically, the object can be designed to hide or encapsulate all or part of the internal data structure and internal functions. Especially in programming, the programmer can define some objects, which are all or part of The data variables and all or part of the related functions are regarded as "dedicated", or can only be used by the object itself. Other data or functions can be regarded as "public,", or can be other programs Used.

The public function forms private data and " outside "One of the world's controlled and consistent interfaces. If you try to write any code that directly accesses special variables, the compiler will generate an error when the program is compiled. This error will stop the compilation process and make the program unexecutable. (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page)

After defining the function, a program can then call the add function in the common format (A + B), and at compile time, the c ++ compiler will check the variable type and decide which of the three functions to actually use A function. The compiler will then replace the appropriate function code. Polymorphism allows similar functions that produce similar results to be "clustered" in the program source code in order to produce a more logical and clear program flow. The third principle of object-oriented programming is inheritance. Inheritance allows programmers to easily use previously existing programs and avoid creating software from scratch. The principle of inheritance allows software designers to declare related categories (and Objects subsequently generated from these categories) ^ In particular, categories can be designated as subcategories of other base categories (base ciass) (su bciass). A subcategory " inherit " all the public functions of its basic category, and can use these public functions, the way they are used is like these functions appearing in that subcategory. In addition, as long as a subcategory is A new function of the same form can replace all or part of the inherited function, or can modify all or part of the inherited function (replacement or modification does not change the functions in the basic category., But only Modify the use of functions in the sub-category. If a new sub-category is created, this new sub-category has some of the functions of another category (but with optional modifications), the software designer can easily modify the existing code, In order to meet specific needs.

Description of invention (12) This is especially true when there is no ready-made software program to modify. Therefore, the method of conventional technology has provided a set of pre-defined interconnection categories to For programmers, this set of categories produces a set of executable objects — objects and extra routines that are usually encountered in a special environment ... generally such pre-defined categories and libraries are called "Application architecture" (Qing licati〇n 丘 啦 ⑽ 纪), this application architecture can essentially provide the pre-prepared structure to the ongoing application software. For example, an application architecture for the user interface can Provides a set of pre-defined graphical interface objects for generating windows, scroll bars' menus, etc. The application framework also provides support and "quote system default" behavior for these graphical interface objects. Because the application architecture is based on object-oriented technology, pre-defined categories can be used as basic categories, and sub-categories defined by programmers can inherit the built-in system default behavior, and can modify or replace the built-in system pre-defined $ Again, and let private designers extend this application architecture in a specific area of expertise and produce solutions that are modified according to customer needs. This object-oriented approach has great advantages over traditional programming, because the program designer does not change the original program, but extends the ability of the original program. In addition, the programmer does not blindly work in each layer of code, because the application architecture provides architectural guidance and patterns, and the programmer is free to provide specific actions specific to the problem domain to be solved. Depending on the system level involved and the type of problem to be solved, there are currently many existing application architectures. The types of application architectures range from high-level application frameworks that assist in the development of user interfaces to low-level application frameworks that provide basic system software services (such as communications, printing, file system support, graphics, etc.). ______-15-This paper scale applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210χ 297 mm) (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page).

Description of the invention (13) Commercial examples of application architecture include MacApp provided by Apple Computer, Bedrock provided by Symantec, and OWL provided by Borland International. According to the present invention, a multimedia application architecture is provided. The application architecture includes a plurality of multimedia objects. A specific multimedia object is associated with each type of multimedia device. Each multimedia object includes an image, and the image is displayed when the object is generated. Each multimedia image also includes a number of internal methods for controlling the relevant multimedia device. These internal methods are used to set the operating parameters of the device, instruct the input and output of the device, and control the operation of the device. The relationship between objects and related devices will be explained in detail below. Figure 2 shows an example of a display (226) generated by an object-oriented graphical user interface. In addition to the general window area (210) associated with the application, various selectable objects are displayed in the form of images (228-238). Each image (228-238) is associated with an underlying object, which in turn controls a multimedia device. Such devices include, for example, a laser turntable, a microphone, a speaker, a mixer, a corresponding to images (228), (230), (232), (234), (236), and (238) respectively. Separator, and an echo filter. Other multimedia devices such as digital playback / recorders can also have a related object with different images (not shown). Each image (228-238) has a connection point or " touch zone ", which can be used to connect the images in the manner detailed below, thus completing the connection between the lower-layer multimedia devices . For example, the disc image (228) has a touch area (229), and the speaker image (230) has a touch area (231). Some images have only one touch area to indicate that such images are only connected to -16- This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297mm) (please read the precautions on the back before filling in This page), ye Printed by the Staff Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs -17- A7 ---------- B7 V. Description of the invention (14)-~-Receive or generate information; and others The image has two touch areas to indicate that this type of image receives both an input and an output. For example, the echo image (238) has an input touch area (237) and an output touch area (239). The graphical user interface also includes pull-down menus (242), (243), and general control images (244_247) in a traditional manner for various multimedia devices represented by each image. These control images include stop (24 sentences, pause (245) 'play (246), and turn (247) images, and the user can select these control images via the mouse (114) or the keyboard (116)' The additional image can be used to represent a multimedia file, or a recording device that records data in the file, such as outputting a file image (240). Operate each displayed image and control related objects to control the underlying multimedia device. Operation-objects can take the form of: selecting the relevant object, then opening the object, and connecting the two objects, so that the input of one object is provided to the input of the other object. In addition, the general control image (244- 247) Control a multimedia device. The general control images are described in detail below in conjunction with an object selected to control the lower-level device.

Two actions enable the graphical user interface to send a message to the object associated with the image. The object can change the appearance of the image in response to this message, and Visually indicate the selection. If the object has been selected, the routine ends at step (iv). In addition, if the object has been selected in step (302), the routine enters step (304). Decide whether the object has started. Open—Object It may be quite simple, for example, place the indicator graphic on the image, and double-click on the selection button of a mouse to select the object #. You can also use other actions to open related objects. For example, The object can be selected and opened immediately using the ○ Qing's detailed menu command (243).-Once it is determined in step (304) that the user has instructed the object to be opened, then call-subroutine (306) to display a A dialog box related to the object that the user has started. As will be described in detail below, this dialog box may contain a number of user-operable graphical control symbols, such as buttons, dials, slide adjusters, potentials Count and so on. Each such control symbol calls a method in the child object to adjust the parameters of the underlying multimedia device. FIG. 4 is a detailed flow chart of sub-normal equation (306) for operating parameters of various multimedia devices associated with objects that the user has opened. Generally speaking, each multimedia object (228 · 238) will have its own dialog box, which is unique to the type of the underlying multimedia object, and the dialog box is displayed on the graphical user interface when the user opens the object frame. The pair box routine starts at step,), and enters step_.
