Abstract
A program of an application layer (upper layer) receives input information supplied from a platform layer (lower layer) and abstracts the information by an input information abstraction part. Based on the abstracted information, determination parts, a prioritized condition determination section and an information processing section make determinations and perform information processing, for example. A processing result obtained by the information processing section is converted into an information format suitable for the platform layer by an output information conversion section, and is outputted therefrom. When a format of information exchanged between the application layer and platform layer, for example, is changed, changes may be made to the input information abstraction part and the output information conversion section of the program of the application layer.

17. A device control apparatus for controlling an operation of a device, comprising:
-
a first processing section for exchanging information with the device; and a second processing section for exchanging information with the first processing section, and wherein the second processing section includes; an abstraction part for generating abstracted information on the basis of a single piece or a plurality of pieces of information received from the first processing section, the abstracted information being generated by abstracting the received information; and a control information processing section for performing information processing concerning control of the device by using the generated abstracted information. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

31. A recording medium in which a device control program for causing a device control apparatus to control an operation of a device is recorded, the device control apparatus comprising:
- a communication section for receiving and transmitting information from and to one or a plurality of devices;
an information processing section for performing information processing concerning control of the device on the basis of the info illation received by the communication section; and
a storage section for storing information concerning the information processing, the device control program comprising;a first program for causing the device control apparatus to exchange information with the device by the communication section; and a second program for causing the device control apparatus to exchange information with the first program via the storage section; and wherein the second program includes the steps of; causing the device control apparatus to generate abstracted information on the basis of a single piece or a plurality of pieces of information received from the first program via the storage section, the abstracted information being generated by abstracting the received information by the information processing section; and causing the device control apparatus to perform, using the generated abstracted information, information processing concerning the control of the device by the information processing section. - View Dependent Claims (32)
