Abstract:
A method for controlling a computer system having an interrupt handling capability therein, the method comprising the steps of:storing, in an operational key description storing unit, a position of an operation responsive to a flag pattern stored in an interrupt activation condition flag storing unit;storing, in an operational description storing unit, a process responsive to the flag pattern in the operational key description storing unit;referring to the flag pattern in the interrupt activation condition flag storing unit which stores at least one event as an interrupt activating condition flag;determining whether or not the flag pattern exists in the operational key description storing unit which stores an operational location responsive to the flag pattern in the interrupt activation condition flag storing unit;performing an interrupt process in accordance with the operational description storing unit which stores a process responsive to the flag pattern, in the event that there exists the flag pattern in the determining step; andresetting a bit of a flag responsive to a process thus executed.
