Abstract
Provided is a method and system for managing device operations. The method includes dividing control information into two or more portions, each portion being associated with a unique control sequence number. Each of the associated control sequence numbers is examined during an update cycle to determine which of the portions must be updated. The control sequence number includes information related to control information updates.
Claims20
A method for managing device operation, comprising:
- dividing control information into two or more portions, each portion being associated with a unique control sequence number;
- and
- examining each of the control sequence numbers during an update cycle to determine which of the portions must be updated.
A method for providing control information, comprising:
- dividing control information into two or more portions, and
- associating each portion with a unique control sequence number.
A method for managing device operation, comprising:
- receiving control information that is divided into two or more portions, each portion being associated with a unique control sequence number;
- examining each of the received control sequence numbers for changes;
- and
- updating the portion of the received control information corresponding to a changed control sequence number.
An apparatus for managing device operation, comprising:
- means for dividing control information into two or more portions, each portion being associated with a unique control sequence number;
- and
- means for examining each of the control sequence numbers during an update cycle to determine which of the portions must be updated.
An apparatus for providing control information, comprising:
- means for dividing control information into two or more portions, and
- means for associating each portion with a unique control sequence number.
An apparatus for managing device operation, comprising:
- means for receiving control information that is divided into two or more portions, each portion being associated with a unique control sequence number;
- means for examining each of the received control sequence numbers for changes;
- and
- means for updating the portion of the received control information corresponding to a changed control sequence number.
A computer readable medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions for execution by one or more processors to perform a method managing device operation, the instructions when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
- dividing control information into two or more portions, each portion being associated with a unique control sequence number;
- and
- examining each of the control sequence numbers during an update cycle to determine which of the portions must be updated.
A device, comprising:
- a processor including first and second logic portions;
- wherein the first logic portion is configured to receive control information, the control information being divided into two or more portions, each portion being associated with a unique control sequence number;
- and
- wherein the second logic portion is configured to examine each of the control sequence numbers during an update cycle to determine which of the portions must be updated.
