Abstract
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for querying at least one value of at least one parameter of a module and to a method and a module for providing at least one value of at least one parameter. In this case, a basic scheme is extended by at least one query function to form a scheme, wherein the scheme makes it possible both to configure the module and to query individual values or a plurality of values.

A method for querying at least one value (W1, W2) of at least one parameter (P1, P2) of a module (MOD), wherein the at least one parameter (P1, P2) can be described as an element (MSR, VAL) using a basic scheme (BSC), and at least one of the parameters (P1, P2) can be configured using a value form (V1, V2) of the element (MSR, VAL), having the following steps of:
- generating a scheme (SC) by supplementing the basic scheme (BSC) with a query function (AF) in such a manner that the element (MSR) of the at least one parameter (P1), the at least one value (W1) of which is intended to be queried, can be marked using the query function (AF);
- producing a first structured document (DOC1) on the basis of the scheme (SC) in such a manner that the first structured document (DOC1) both has at least that element (MSR) for the at least one parameter (P1), the at least one value (W1) of which is intended to be queried, and assigns the query function (AF) to this element (MSR);
- querying the at least one value (W1) of the at least one parameter (P1) using the first structured document (DOC1), wherein the at least one parameter (P1) can be communicated to the module (MOD) on the basis of the query function (AF), and the at least one value (W1) of the at least one parameter (P1) can then be read.
The method as claimed in one of the preceding claims,
- in which the element (MSR) of the scheme (SC) is supplemented with at least one second attribute (AT2) in order to specify an embodiment of the query function (AF).
The method as claimed in one of the preceding claims,
- in which a response to the query of the value (W1) is made using a second structured document (DOC2) which is produced on the basis of the scheme (SC) and has at least the value form (V1) corresponding to the at least one value (W1) together with the associated element (MSR).
The method as claimed in one of the preceding claims,
- in which at least one of the structured documents (DOC1, DOC2) and/or the scheme (SC) is/are produced according to the XML description language.
A method for establishing a scheme (SC) for querying at least one value (W1, W2) of at least one parameter (P1, P2) of a module (MOD), wherein the at least one parameter (P1, P2) can be described as an element (MSR, VAL) using a basic scheme (BSC), and at least one of the parameters (P1, P2) can be configured using a value form (V1, V2) of the element (MSR, VAL),
- characterized in that
- the scheme (SC) is produced by supplementing the basic scheme (BSC) with a query function (AF) in such a manner that the element (MSR) of the at least one parameter (P1), the at least one value (W1) of which is intended to be queried, can be marked using the query function (AF).
An apparatus (DEV) for querying at least one value (W1, W2) of at least one parameter (P1, P2) of a module (MOD), wherein the at least one parameter (P1, P2) can be described as an element (MSR, VAL) using a basic scheme (BSC), and at least one of the parameters (P1, P2) can be configured using a value form (V1, V2) of the element (MSR, VAL),
- having the following means (M1, M2, M3):
- first means (M1) for generating a scheme (SC) by supplementing the basic scheme (BSC) with a query function (AF) in such a manner that the element (MSR) of the at least one parameter (P1), the at least one value (W1) of which is intended to be queried, can be marked using the query function (AF);
- second means (M2) for producing a first structured document (DOC1) on the basis of the scheme (SC) in such a manner that the first structured document (DOC1) both has at least that element (MSR) for the at least one parameter (P1), the at least one value (W1) of which is intended to be queried, and assigns the query function (AF) to this element (MSR);
- third means (M3) for querying the at least one value (W1) of the at least one parameter (P1) using the first structured document (DOC1), wherein the at least one parameter (P1) can be communicated to the module (MOD) on the basis of the query function (AF), and the at least one value (W1) of the at least one parameter (P1) can then be read.
A method for providing at least one value (W1) of at least one parameter (P1) by means of a module (MOD), wherein the at least one parameter (P1, P2) can be described as an element (MSR, VAL) using a basic scheme (BSC), and at least one of the parameters (P1, P2) can be configured using a value form (V1, V2) of the element (MSR, VAL), having the following steps of:
- receiving a first structured document (DOC1) on the basis of a scheme (SC), wherein the scheme (SC) is generated by supplementing the basic scheme (BSC) with a query function (AF) in such a manner that the element (MSR) of the at least one parameter (P1), the at least one value (W1) of which is intended to be queried, can be marked using the query function (AF) and the first structured document (DOC1) both has at least that element (MSR) for the at least one parameter (P1), the at least one value (W1) of which is intended to be queried, and assigns the query function (AF) to this element (MSR);
- providing the at least one value (W1) of the at least one parameter (P1) on the basis of the reception of the first structured document (DOC1) in such a manner that the element (MSR) and the parameter (P1) corresponding to the element (MSR) are determined on the basis of the query function (AF) and the at least one value (W1) of the at least one parameter (P1) is provided, in particular in the form of a second structured document (DOC2).
A module (MOD) for providing at least one value (W1) of at least one parameter (P1), wherein the at least one parameter (P1, P2) can be described as an element (MSR, VAL) using a basic scheme (BSC), and
- at least one of the parameters (P1, P2) can be configured using a value form (V1, V2) of the element (MSR, VAL), having the following units (E1, E2):
- a first unit (E1) for receiving a first structured document (DOC1) on the basis of a scheme (SC), wherein the scheme (SC) is generated by supplementing the basic scheme (BSC) with a query function (AF) in such a manner that the element (MSR) of the at least one parameter (P1), the at least one value (W1) of which is intended to be queried, can be marked using the query function (AF) and the first structured document (DOC1) both has at least that element (MSR) for the at least one parameter (P1), the at least one value (W1) of which is intended to be queried, and assigns the query function (AF) to this element (MSR);
- a second unit (E2) for providing the at least one value (W1) of the at least one parameter (P1) on the basis of the reception of the first structured document (DOC1) in such a manner that the element (MSR) and the parameter (P1) corresponding to the element (MSR) are determined on the basis of the query function (AF) and the at least one value (W1) of the at least one parameter (P1) is provided, in particular in the form of a second structured document (DOC2).
