PROCESSING OF DIGITAL DATA, IN PARTICULAR MEDICAL DATA BY A VIRTUAL MACHINE

摘要

The present invention relates to a virtual machine (VM) for processing digital data (MD), in particular medical data by executing a digital data processing application program, in particular a medical data application program called MeDPAP, the virtual machine (VM) being a simulation of a computer, the virtual machine comprising at least the following components: ° a MeDPAP controller (MC) which is constituted - so that it can be addressed by a Uniform Resource Identifier called VM-URI via a wide area network (WAN), - to support direct interoperable interaction with a client application (MCA) over the wide area network (WAN), - to assign a Uniform Resource Identifier called MeDPAP-URI to the MeDPAP, and - to send the assigned MeDPAP-URI to the client application via the wide area network (WAN); and ° the MeDPAP which is constituted - to process the digital data (MD), - so that it can be addressed by the client application via the wide area network (WAN) by using the MeDPAP-URI, and - to support direct interaction with the client application over the wide area network for receiving instructions from the client application (MCA) to process the digital data.
