Abstract

An integration system includes a transmission port, a port management module, a first service module and a second service module. The port management module includes a port management unit for managing the transmission port. The first service module corresponds to a first application program among a plurality of application programs, and assists the first application program to communicate with the port management module. The second service module corresponds to a second application program among the application programs, and assists the second application program to communicate with the port management module. The port management module allows the first service module and the second service module to share a control authority of the port management unit.
