Abstract

A process management system includes a display, a process handling module and a plurality of window process modules communicating with the process handling module. Each window process module processes one function on the display. The process handling module stops an executing window process module before the process handling module starts another window process module.

Claims

1. A process management system, comprising:

a display;

a process handling module; and

a plurality of window process modules communicating with the process handling module, each window process module being capable of processing one function on the display;

wherein the process handling module stops an executing window process module before the process handling module starting another window process module.

2. The process management system of claim 1, wherein the process handling module communicates with the window process module via a message pipe.

3. The process management system of claim 2, wherein the process handling module is capable of communicating with the window process module in a unified message format by the message pipe.

4. The process management system of claim 3, wherein the process handling module comprises a process handshake message interface to communicate with the window process module.

5. The process management system of claim 4, wherein the process handshake message interface communicates with the window process module by a standardized protocol.

6. The process management system of claim 1, wherein the process management system further comprises a common basic window module to provide a common basic function for the window process module.

7. The process management system of claim 1, wherein the process handling module is capable of sending a check message to the window process module to determine if the window process module runs correctly.

8. The process management system of claim 1, wherein the window process module is capable of sending a terminate message to the process handling module to close the window process module.

9. The process management system of claim 1, wherein the window process module is a multimedia player module.

10. The process management system of claim 1, wherein the window process module is a network window module.

11. A process management method, comprising:

a process handling module starting up a window process module;

showing the window process module to process one function on a display;

the process handling module stopping the window process module before the process handling module starting another window process module.

12. The process management method of claim 11, wherein the process handling module communicates with the window process module by a message pipe.

13. The process management method of claim 12, wherein the process handling module communicates with the window process module in a unified message format by the message pipe.

14. The process management method of claim 13, wherein the process handling module comprises a process handshake message interface to communicate with the window process module.

15. The process management method of claim 14, wherein the process handshake message interface communicates with the window process module by a standardized protocol.

16. The process management method of claim 11, wherein a common basic window module provides a common basic function for the window process module.

17. The process management method of claim 11, wherein the process handling module sends a check message to the window process module to ensure the window process module running correctly.

18. The process management method of claim 11, wherein the window process module sends a terminate message to the process handling module to stop the window process module.

19. The process management method of claim 11, wherein the window process module is a multimedia player module.

20. The process management method of claim 11, wherein the window process module is a network window module.
