Software architecture system and method for operating an appliance utilizing configurable notification messages
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a system of devices through a series of steps to perform a useful cycle of operation, the method comprising the steps of:
- running a control program for directing the operation of the devices through a series of steps, dynamically generating during the running of the control program a memory heap, the memory heap comprising a plurality of event structures each having condition parameters comprising at least one each of external memory pointers to the event structure, event operators, and arguments associated with an event, identifying event conditions that evaluate as true by looking into the memory heap of structures during the running of the control program and evaluating the condition parameters for the event structures, and generating a configurable notification message when a true condition is found.

Abstract
A method for controlling a system of devices through a series of steps to perform a useful cycle of operation comprising the steps of running a control program for directing the operation of the devices through a series of steps; dynamically generating during the running of the control program a memory heap, the memory heap comprises a plurality of event structures each having condition parameters comprising at least one each of external memory pointers to the event structure, event operators, and arguments associated with an event; identifying event conditions that evaluate as true by looking into the memory heap of structures during the running of the control program and evaluating the condition parameters for the event structures; and generating a configurable notification message when a true condition is found.
