<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent failures in the event that a plurality of peripheral devices of the same kind are connected to one host device at the same time. <P>SOLUTION: A device driver 80 obtains the names of ports and the names of devices by asking a device management system 40 and creates the unique name of a shared object including those names. An application obtains the names of peripheral devices being accessed and the names of connection ports thereof by asking an image input/output management system 70 and creates the unique name of a shared object including those names. In response to a command to create an object, an operating system newly creates an object of that name and sends back the handler of the object if the object of that name does not exist; if the object exists, it sends back the handler of the object. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
