摘要:
An object oriented framework mechanism provides a straightforward and convenient way to implement metering within an object-oriented computer program for any type of program that needs to be metered. The object metering framework includes core function and extensible function. core classes and core class relationships define the core function of the framework mechanism. The extensible function is defined by extensible classes that can be extended by a programmer to implement a desired metering environment. The framework provides consistent programmer interfaces over a wide variety of different metering environments, which greatly enhances programmer efficiency and which makes the resultant code much easier to maintain.

A method and apparatus for incorporating windowing techniques into computer systems having a host processor executing applications programs, and interconnected through a plurality of controllers (WSC) to a number of non-programmable (DWS) and programmable terminals, by distributing the processing steps required for windowing between the host processor and the controllers; the host processor generates a data stream defining the window parameters, the data stream is receivable by controllers for either programmable or non-programmable terminals, each controller being adapted to construct and display the window on the display screen(s) which it controls.
摘要:
A method and system for facilitating language translation of text fields within an interactive software application. A control parameter is associated with each text field within an interactive software application prior to translation and utilized to automatically extract each text field for translation and to reinsert a translated text field thereafter. In certain interactive software applications which utilize fixed template user-interface structures, such as dialog boxes or menu templates, the architecture will not permit captions or menu pulldown controls to be identified within the template. In such applications, an additional artificial control parameter is included within the template which contains an identifier of the text field for the caption or menu pulldown control. Thereafter, the control parameters may be utilized to automatically extract text fields for translation. An attempted automatic extraction of text fields for translation in an application, which includes dialog boxes or menu templates, will result in an error message in the absence of the required artificial control parameter.

A method and apparatus for distributing the processing of certain remote terminal keystroke signals, and formatting of display panels according to user interface rules, to a workstation control interface in a system having a host processor connected to a large number of remote keyboard/display terminals through an intermediate workstation control interface.

A method and apparatus for distributing the processing of cursor-independent scrolling functions, between a host processor and a workstation via a workstation control interface, the workstation control interface being connected to a plurality of workstations, wherein the host processor formulates a data stream incorporating scrollable panel data, definitions of cursor-independent scrolling keys, definitions of scrolling increments, and definitions of scroll indicators; the data stream is transmitted to the workstation control interface, which may be embodied in a workstation controller (or PWS), and the workstation controller (or PWS) formulates a display screen image for transmission to a workstation to which it is connected. A cursor-independent scrolling request received from a workstation is received by the workstation controller (or PWS) and processed for scrolling without further communication with the host processor.
