METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTER-DEVICE SERVICE ACCESS
Inter-device service access is disclosed including issuing, by a source device running a first program, an access request by the first program for a specific service, and transmitting, by the source device running the first program, the access request through an inter-device link to a target device that provides the specific service, the target device being configured to receive the access request, forward the received access request to a second program running on the target device, the second program executing a corresponding service function.
1 . (canceled)
2 . A method, comprising:
issuing, using a first device that is running a first application program, a broadcast request of the first application program;
transmitting, using the first device, the broadcast request via an inter-device link to a device of a plurality of devices interconnected with a master device; and
sending, using the device excluding the first device, the received broadcast request to an application program that the device itself includes, wherein the inter-device link comprises: an established link by a different device with the device through a link port provided by the master device.
3 . The method as described in claim 2 , wherein each device of the plurality of devices is different from the first device.
4 . The method as described in claim 2 , wherein the issuing of the broadcast request device includes:
sending the broadcast request to a bus control module of the first device.
5 . The method as described in claim 4 , wherein the bus control module of the first device sends the broadcast request to a bus control module of the master device.
6 . The method as described in claim 5 , wherein the bus control module of the master device sends the broadcast request in a broadcast sending mode to the device on a device bus.
7 . The method as described in claim 2 , wherein the device sends the broadcast request to an application program process.
8 . The method as described in claim 7 , wherein the application program process extracts broadcast information from the broadcast request.
9 . The method as described in claim 8 , wherein the application program process discards the broadcast request.
10 . A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to:
issue, using a first device that is running a first application program, a broadcast request of the first application program;
transmit, using the first device, the broadcast request via an inter-device link to a device of a plurality of devices interconnected with a master device; and
send, using the device excluding the first device, the received broadcast request to an application program that the device itself includes.
11 . The system as described in claim 10 , wherein each device of the plurality of devices is different from the first device.
12 . The system as described in claim 10 , wherein the issuing of the broadcast request device includes to:
send the broadcast request to a bus control module of the first device.
13 . The system as described in claim 12 , wherein the bus control module of the first device sends the broadcast request to a bus control module of the master device.
14 . The system as described in claim 13 , wherein the bus control module of the master device sends the broadcast request in a broadcast sending mode to the device on a device bus.
15 . The system as described in claim 10 , wherein the device sends the broadcast request to an application program process.
16 . The system as described in claim 15 , wherein the application program process extracts broadcast information from the broadcast request.
17 . The system as described in claim 15 , wherein the application program process discards the broadcast request.
18 . A computer program product being embodied in a tangible non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
issuing, using a first device that is running a first application program, a broadcast request of the first application program;
transmitting, using the first device, the broadcast request via an inter-device link to a device of a plurality of devices interconnected with a master device; and
sending, using the device excluding the first device, the received broadcast request to an application program that the device itself includes, wherein the inter-device link comprises: an established link by a different device with the device through a link port provided by the master device.
