Publication number: 20080250433Abstract: An apparatus for enabling an object-oriented application to access in an object-oriented manner a procedural operating system having a native procedural interface is disclosed. The apparatus includes a computer and a memory component in the computer. A code library is stored in the memory component. The code library includes computer program logic implementing an object-oriented class library. The object-oriented class library comprises related object-oriented classes for enabling the application to access in an object-oriented manner services provided by the operating system. The object-oriented classes include methods for accessing the operating system services using procedural function calls compatible with the native procedural interface of the operating system. The computer processes object-oriented statements contained in the application and defined by the class library by executing methods from the class library corresponding to the object-oriented statements.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2008Publication date: October 9, 2008Applicant: APPLE INC.Inventors: Debra Lyn Orton, Eugenie Lee Bolton, Daniel F. Chernikoff, David Brook Goldsmith, Christopher P. Moeller

Patent number: 6606742Abstract: An object-oriented interface is disclosed for conferring portability for object-oriented programming to diverse operating systems on diverse hardware platforms in a computer system. The object-oriented interface is executable on a plurality of different computer platforms and includes classes of object-oriented methods. The interface is responsive to the object-oriented programming which instantiates its objects from its own classes and invokes the object oriented methods of the interface. Operating system specific, procedural program logic is compiled for use on a given computer platform that includes given computer hardware and a given procedural operating system which is executable on the hardware. A determination is made if the object-oriented methods of the interface to be invoked during runtime execution are present in the program memory of the computer hardware.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1999Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignee: Taligent, Inc.Inventors: Debra Lyn Orton, Eugenie Lee Bolton, Daniel F.
