  • Publication number: 20100174717
    Abstract: This invention concerns an iterative procedure for conversion of structured software objects into a raw data stream and vice versa, providing for their direct transfer using simple communication resources such as those of an embedded computer station, and reset of said software objects or reutilisation of memory space allocated to them. This procedure can be used by an embedded platform (2) or a portable object including at least a processor capable of exchanging information with a terminal in the form of linear data sequences. The procedure includes a step for conversion of a data set, in one direction or the other, between a linear data sequence arrangement on the one hand, and a structured arrangement describing or representing an object-oriented software object on the other hand.

  • Patent number: 6477564
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for transforming and routing data between agent servers present in some machines and a central agent server present in another machine. The agent server comprises autonomous agents (5) that communicate via notifications, a storage layer and an agent machine comprising an execution engine, a communication channel and two message queues for the notifications, a local queue (mqIn) and an external queue (mqOut). The execution engine takes a notification in the local queue, determines and loads the corresponding agent for each notification, has the agent react to the notification, which agent can then change its status and/or send notifications to the communication channel (2), which stores them in the local queue if they are addressed to a local agent and in the external queue if they are addressed to an agent of another server.
