Abstract
A number of components, a core configured to manage the components, and a client configured to utilize the components in combination are included. The client groups all or some of the components to form a group having a group ID as an identifier, and issues a command to the core with designation of a group ID. The core maintains group management information including a group ID and a list of components included in a group, identifies components included in the group having the group ID, and sends the command to the components identified.
Claims20
An information recording/reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of components configured to perform processing corresponding to functions for realizing recording and reproduction of information;
- a component management section configured to manage the plurality of components;
- and
- a component control section configured to utilize the plurality of components in combination and provide a service, wherein
- the component control section groups all or some of the plurality of components to form a component group, and issues a control instruction with designation of a particular component group to the component management section, and
- the component management section maintains group management information in which an identifier capable of identifying the component group and a list of components that are included in the component group are stored, and sends the control instruction to the components included in the component group designated by the component control section.
An information recording/reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of components configured to perform processing corresponding to functions for realizing recording and reproduction of information;
- a component management section configured to manage the plurality of components;
- a component control section configured to utilize the plurality of components in combination and provide a service;
- and
- a display control section configured to display a result of processing by the plurality of components on a display device, wherein
- the component control section groups all or some of the plurality of components to faun a component group, and issues a control instruction with designation of a particular component group to the component management section, and
- the component management section maintains group management information in which an identifier capable of identifying the component group and a list of components that are included in the component group are stored, and sends the control instruction to the components included in the component group designated by the component control section.
An information recording/reproducing method, comprising:
- performing, by a plurality of components, processing corresponding to functions for realizing recording and reproduction of information;
- managing the plurality of components by a component management section;
- and
- utilizing, by a component control section, components of the plurality of components in combination and providing a service, wherein
- the component control section groups all or some of the plurality of components to form a component group, and issues a control instruction with designation of a particular component group to the component management section, and
- the component management section maintains group management information in which an identifier capable of identifying the component group and a list of components that are included in the component group are stored, and sends the control instruction to the components included in the component group designated by the component control section.
