  • Console simulator, multi-console management system and console management distribution system
    Patent number: 5689637
    Abstract: A computer implemented system for simulating functions of a mainframe computer monitor console. A first central processing unit is in communication with a memory for storing of mainframe operator resonse messages from a mainframe operating system and for storing data representing status of said simulated mainframe computer monitor console. A second central processing unit is in communication with the first central processing unit. Operator input messages are inputed into the second central processing unit through an interface. A simulator engine stored in the memory and executed by the first central processing unit selects messages from the mainframe operator response message database; selects response messages that are unsolicited with respect to operator input messages; selects response messages from a random events list; and updates data representing the status of the simulated computer monitor console.
    Type: Grant
