Coupling rules to an object-oriented program
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of using a computer for rule inferencing from an object-oriented data domain of user-defined objects, comprising the steps of:
- instantiating a rule, from a program having an object-oriented data domain, as an inference class object;
inheriting at least one user-defined object, to be used by said rule for inferencing, from a working memory element class;
instantiating said user-defined class object from which said rule will inference; and
inferencing with said rule, wherein a matching phase of said inferencing directly accesses said user-defined class object.

Abstract
A method of coupling rules to a data domain of an object-oriented computer program. During run time, the coupling permits the computer to use rules to directly access user-defined objects for both the matching and the action phases of the inferencing process, Inferencing is implemented with an inference class object and user-defined class object are derived from a working memory element class.
