Method and apparatus for performing communication between a first program object, a second program object and/or a further program object, comprising the steps of: a) storing of intermediate results in a first memory part after execution of the first program function of the first program object; b) storing of an object identifier identifying the further program object in the first memory part; c) storing of a function identifier identifying a program function of the further program object; d) identifying the first memory part with a continuation identifier; e) identifying the first memory part with a continuation type; f) delivering a first message, the continuation identifier and the continuation type to a first program function of the second program object; g) executing said first program function of the second program object; h) delivering of the intermediate results to said program function of the further program object identified by the continuation type; i) executing said program function of the further program object.
摘要:
A user terminal exchanges information with a server through a transmission medium. A coupling unit couples the user terminal to the transmission medium in accordance with information from the server. Likewise, the server is controlled in accordance with information from the user terminal. In this manner, communication is created and performed between the server and the user terminal. The user terminal may be a Set-Top Unit which may be adjusted to the transmission medium by, for example, a physical medium converter or the communication itself between the Set-Top Unit and the server may be adjusted as directed by programs installed in the Set-Top Unit which may originate from the server.

VPI/VCI of an ATM cell is translated into an internal Id by distributing VPI/VCI entries into sections in a table according to a portion of each VPI/VCI entry. A section to be searched according to the portion of a VPI/VCI of the received ATM cell is selected; and a search over the selected section is performed to find an entry corresponding to the VPI/VCI of the received ATM cell. An internal ID corresponding to the found entry is outputted.

摘要:
A system for serving information is provided comprising a router, a storage medium unit connected to the router, a plurality of end devices connected to the router for reproducing of information, wherein the end devices output demand data requesting a selected portion of information data, and a managing unit connected to the router for managing distribution of the information data. The managing unit outputs distribution control data including channel information of the selected portion of the information data. The managing unit further outputs a predetermined software program to the storage medium unit and one of the plurality of end devices outputting the demand data to control subsequent operation of the storage medium unit and the one of said plurality of end devices, and the transmission of data therebetween. The storage medium unit outputs selected information data with routing information in the form of one or more packets according to the distribution control data. The router comprises a table wherein data representing a relation between the routing information between the storage medium unit and the routing information of the end devices is stored. Selected information data is output with second routing information in the form of one or more packets according to the distribution control data and the predetermined software program, wherein the managing unit updates the content of the table when one of the storage medium units malfunctions.

摘要:
A system for serving video and/or audio data includes one or more first storage medium units for storing video and/or audio data, and at least one second storage medium unit with an agile disc for storing the video and/or audio data. A controller downloads a software control program to the first and second storage units. A plurality of end devices each have input means and display means for reproducing video and/or audio data from the storage medium units. A system manager manages distribution of the control software program and the audio/video data. The system manager receives demand data representing information regarding audio/video data selected by a user and a demanded operation mode, and outputs distribution control data including channel information of the selected audio/video data, the operation mode and routing information, to the end device. The second storage medium unit is assigned to one of the end devices which requires a first operation mode under the control of the system manager; and the first storage medium unit is assigned to the remaining end devices which require a second operation mode under the control of the system manager.
