Abstract
Described are a method and a system for implementing function extension of an open platform. In the system, services that can be provided by an open platform are encapsulated and an operation interface is provided, so that plug-ins uniformly inherit the operation interface and transmit control parameters through the interface into a service entry to obtain the services. Therefore, the open platform has a simple framework and low coupling degree. Since the plug-ins are uniformly managed by a plug-in manager, the manageability and dynamic extensibility of the open platform are enhanced.
Claims22
A method for implementing function extension of an open platform, comprising:
- defining a plug-in according to function requirements of a user, and enabling the plug-in to inherit an operation interface provided by a pre-established open platform so that the plug-in is capable of transmitting a control parameter input by the user to a service entry provided by the open platform for obtaining a service provided by the open platform through the service entry;
- registering the plug-in to a pre-established plug-in manager;
- wherein the plug-in manager records information on locations of all registered plug-ins, and the plug-in manager enables the plug-in according to the information on a location which the plug-in corresponds to upon the condition that the plug-in manager is commanded to enable the plug-in;
- before the step of defining a plug-in according to function requirements of a user, the method further comprises:
- defining the service provided by the open platform as a screen management, a title bar control, and a tray control, encapsulating the service provided by the open platform to form a corresponding category, and providing the service entry in public for the plug-in to obtain the service provided by the open platform through the service entry;
- before the step of registering the plug-in to a pre-established plug-in manager, the method further comprises;
- defining the loading mechanism of the plug-in;
- the loading mechanism of the plug-in comprising a local loading and a remote loading.
