Abstract
A flexible feature interface for multimedia sources system that includes a single interface for the addition of features and functions to multimedia sources and for accessing those features and functions from remote hosts. The interface utilizes the export statement: export “C” D11Export void FunctionName(int argc, char** argv, char*result, SecureSession*ctrl) or the binary equivalent of the export statement.
Claims31
A flexible features interface for multimedia sources method, comprising:
- providing a system, said system having system constituents;
- providing an operating system;
- providing at least one features an/or functions module that interacts with said at least one system to actualize said system constituents, and
- connecting said system, said operating system, and said at least one features an/or functions module through an interface, wherein said interface comprises the following export statement:
- export “C” D11Export void FunctionName(int argc, char**argv, char*result, SecureSession*ctrl) or the binary equivalent of the export statement.
A flexible features interface for multimedia sources apparatus, comprising:
- a system,
- system constituents,
- an operating system;
- at least one features an/or functions module for interacting with said at least one system to actualize said system constituents, and
- an interface for connecting said system, said operating system, and said at least one features an/or functions module, wherein said interface utilizes the export statement:
- export “C” D11Export void FunctionName(int argc, char**argv, char*result, SecureSession*ctrl) or the binary equivalent of said export statement.
A biometrics apparatus, comprising:
- a biometrics unit,
- a work station,
- an operating system,
- a multiplicity of features an/or functions modules for interacting with said biometrics unit, said work station, and said operating system, and
- an interface for connecting said biometrics unit, said work station, said operating system, and said features an/or functions modules.
