  • Patent number: 8578308
    Abstract: A variable is allocated to a statement that designates an event associated with a function call in an assertion. Generation of the event at an arbitrary time on a continuous time series is detected, and a value corresponding to a meaning of the statement is assigned to the variable. Whether or not a condition corresponding to the meaning of the statement is satisfied is determined based on the value of the variable at each time on a discrete time series.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6240439
    Abstract: A system and method for executing a plurality of programs for control of objects, in which states of the objects are first transmitted to the programs. The programs to which the states of the objects are transmitted are then independently executed. The executed results are evaluated, modified and then transmitted to the objects. Thereby the structure of the programs can be simplified, sequential development of the programs can be realized, and program maintenance can be facilitated. Further, a fault tolerance to bugs on software can be enhanced and perfect operation of the software functions can be realized.
