Method and device for object control with a plurality of operation-target flags
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling objects in an information processing system, comprising:
- representing objects by a tree having a hierarchical structure;
providing each of the objects with a first operation-target flag which indicates whether a corresponding object is a target of a given operation;
setting a second operation-target flag in an object handling request, the second operation-target flag indicating whether a group consisting of some of the objects is a target of the given operation; and
performing the given operation on an object upon receiving the object handling request for the given operation only if the second target flag of the object handling request as well as the first operation-target flag of the object indicates that the object is a target of the given operation.

Abstract
A method of controlling objects in an information processing system includes the steps of representing objects by a tree having a hierarchical structure, providing each of the objects with a first operation-target flag which indicates whether a corresponding object is a target of a given operation, and performing the given operation on an object upon receiving of an object handling request for the given operation only if the first operation-target flag of the object indicates that the object is a target of the given operation.

4. A device for controlling objects, comprising:
-
a message processing unit which receives an object-handling-request message from a client; and
a tree-control unit which controls the objects in a hierarchical structure, attaches a first operation-target flag to each of the objects in order to indicate whether a corresponding object is a target of a given operation, and sets a second operation-target flag in the object handling request, the second operation-target flag indicating whether a group consisting of some of the objects is a target of the given operation wherein said message processing unit performs the given operation on an object upon receiving the object-handling-request message for the given operation only if the second target flag of the object handling request as well as the first operation-target flag of the object indicates that the object is a target of the given operation. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7)

8. A memory medium having a program embodied therein for controlling a computer to control objects, said program comprising:
-
a message processing unit configured to receive an object-handling-request message from a client; and
a tree-control unit which controls the objects in a hierarchical structure, attaches a first operation-target flag to each of the objects in order to indicate whether a corresponding object is a target of a given operation, and sets a second operation-target flag in the object handling request, the second operation-target flag indicating whether a group consisting of some of the objects is a target of the given operation wherein said message processing unit performs the given operation on an object upon receiving the object-handling-request message for the given operation only if the second target flag of the object handling request as well as the first operation-target flag of the object indicates that the object is a target of the given operation. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
