COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM CONSTRUCTED USING A PLURALITY OF COMMON OBJECTS, AND A METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING SAME

摘要

A computer control system constructed using a plurality of common objects is provided with greater flexibility and easy customizability, and a method for constructing the control system are disclosed. An interface object (15) capable of two-way communications is created and used when a first instance of a common object (OCX10), creates and controls a second occurrence of a common object (OCX 11). The interface object (15) is able to pass events generated by the second OCX 11 to the first OCX 10, and the first OCX 10 is enabled to completely control the operation of second OCX 11. The computer control system may be constructed as a computer operating system, a peripheral device control system, etc. The advantage is the capability to provide an open system that is easily constructed to support a wide range of peripherals. Development time is reduced and control versatility is significantly enhanced.
