Abstract
A unified interprocess communication system, and a unified interprocess communication method, which are compatible with different hardware and software. The unified interprocess communication system can be used with any equipment, regardless of the communication method used. The unified interprocess communication (UIPC) method is highly portable because the UIPC method introduces a device independent access layer (DIA) into the system and loosely couples the interprocess communication to each hardware device.
Claims14
A communication method for conveying message data from a source to a destination, the method comprising:
- transmitting message data independently of an operating system of a communication apparatus, said transmitting being performed at least in part by an operating system independent access layer;
- and
- transferring message data independently of hardware of the apparatus, said transferring being performed at least in part by a device independent access layer.
A communication apparatus for transferring message data from a source to a destination, the apparatus comprising:
- an operating system portion of the apparatus processing internal communications within said apparatus independently of an operating system of said apparatus;
- and
- a hardware portion of the apparatus processing external communications to and from said apparatus independently of hardware devices in said apparatus.
A computer storage medium having stored thereon a set of instructions implementing a method for conveying message data from a source to a destination, said set of instructions comprising one or more instructions for:
- transmitting message data independently of an operating system of a communication apparatus, said transmitting being performed at least in part by an operating system independent access layer;
- and
- transferring message data independently of hardware of the apparatus, said transferring being performed at least in part by a device independent access layer.
