Non-blocking local events in a state-diagramming environment

摘要

This invention is directed to a method for use in a state diagramming environment on a computing device. The method includes obtaining a state diagram via the environment and processing a first event for the state diagram via the environment. The method also includes triggering a second event, wherein the triggering is based on the first event. The method further includes broadcasting the second event in a non-blocking fashion that allows the first event to continue being processed.
