  • Electronic work environment for a data processing system
    Patent number: 5913066
    Abstract: An electronic work environment for a data processing system includes documentation modules which execute on the hardware elements of the system. The documentation modules exchange data between the software elements and hardware elements of the data processing system to produce interaction between the documentation modules and the data processing system. A common user interface module displays the results of the interaction between the software and hardware elements and the documentation modules. Accordingly, the documentation becomes part of the operating environment of the data processing system. The documentation modules are generalized documentation modules including online documentation for every possible configuration of the hardware and software elements of the data processing system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 17, 1997
    Date of Patent: June 15, 1999
    Assignee: Alcatel Network Systems, Inc.
