US 2006/0218382 A1 · Data processing disorder preventing method

Abstract

A data processing disorder preventing method applicable to a program having a plurality of processing procedures is proposed. The plurality of processing procedures serve to frequently process the same data block within a storage unit of a system, wherein the data block can only be processed by one processing procedure at a time. First, a status value is set in each of the data blocks of the storage unit. Then, each of the data blocks is successively processed by the plurality of processing procedures according to the status value of each of the data blocks. By such arrangement, the present invention is capable of successively processing the data in each block using the plurality of processing procedures according to the status value set in each data block. Therefore, each data block can be prevented from being simultaneously processed by other processing procedures without requiring the prior-art complex processing procedures, and the processing order of the plurality of processing procedures can be automatically enforced, so as to avoid disorder of the data processing.

A data processing disorder preventing method applicable to a program having a plurality of processing procedures, wherein, the plurality of processing procedures serve to frequently process the same data block within a storage unit of a system, and the data block can only be processed by one processing procedure at a time, the method comprising steps of:

setting a status value in each of the data blocks of the storage unit, such that the status value can be altered according to the processing progress of the plurality of processing procedures;
and
processing each of the data blocks successively by the plurality of processing procedures according to the status value of each of the data blocks.

A data processing disorder preventing method applicable to a program having a first processing procedure and a second processing procedure, wherein, the first processing procedure and the second processing procedure serve to frequently process the same data block within a storage unit of a system, and the data block can only be processed by either the first processing procedure or the second processing procedure at a time, in which the order of performing the program is performing the first processing procedure prior to performing the second processing procedure, the method comprising steps of:

(1) setting an unprocessed status value of the first processing procedure in the data block of the storage unit prior to performing step (2);
(2) processing the data block by the first processing procedure according to the unprocessed status value of the first processing procedure of the data block prior to performing step (3);
(3) altering the unprocessed status value of the first processing procedure to a processed status value of the first processing procedure according to the progress of the data block processed by the first processing procedure, such that step (4) can be performed after the status value has been altered to a processed status value of the first processing procedure;
(4) processing the data block by the second processing procedure according to the processed status value of the first processing procedure prior to performing step (5);
(5) altering the processed status value of the first processing procedure of the data block according to progress of the data block processed by the second processing procedure.
