Abstract
Abstract A system for loading a program in a distributed system including a plurality of information processing units (ll - l5) interconnected by a transmission system (l) comprises an information processing unit for preparing a program and sending the program to the transmission system, another information processing unit having means for receiving the program from the transmission system and storing the program in a memory in accordance with a content of the program, and means for retrieving a program based on program structural information, which program corresponds to the program structural information, and sending the retrieved program to the transmission system, and other information processing units each having means for sending the program structural information to the transmission system and means for selecting a corresponding program from the transmission system and loading the selected program in the unit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A method for loading a program in a distributed system including a plurality of information processing units (ll - l5) interconnected by a transmission system (l), comprising the steps of: preparing a program in one of said information processing units and sending said program to said transmission system; receiving said program in another of said information processing units, checking a content of said program and storing said program in a memory; retrieving a program based on program structural information, said program corresponding to the program structural information, and sending the program to said transmission system; in at least other information processing units, sending program structural information to said transmission system; and selecting a corresponding program from said transmission system and loading the program to the unit.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
126 words
A method for loading a program in a distributed system including a plurality of information processing units (ll - l5) interconnected by a transmission system (l), comprising the steps of: preparing a program in one of said information processing units and sending said program to said transmission system; receiving said program in another of said information processing units, checking a content of said program and storing said program in a memory; retrieving a program based on program structural information, said program corresponding to the program structural information, and sending the program to said transmission system; in at least other information processing units, sending program structural information to said transmission system; and selecting a corresponding program from said transmission system and loading the program to the unit.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
38 words
A method for loading a program according to claim l wherein said program structural information is received from said other information processing unit through said transmission system and the program is retrieved based on the program structural information.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
32 words
A method for loading a program according to Claim l wherein said at least other information processing units send the program structural information to said transmission system when said units are started.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
142 words
A system for loading a program in a distributed system including a plurality of information processing units (ll - l5) interconnected by a transmission system (l), comprising: one of said information processing units for preparing a program and sending the program to said transmission system; another of said information processing units having means for receiving the program from said transmission system and storing the program in a memory in accordance with a content of the program, and means for retrieving a program based on the program structural information and sending the retrieved program to said transmission system; and at least other of said information processing units each having means for sending the program structural information to said transmission system and means for judging the corresponding program and receiving the program from said transmission system and loading the selected program in the unit.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
142 words
A system for loading a program in a distributed system including a plurality of information processing units (ll - l5) interconnected by a transmission system (l), comprising: one of said information processing units for preparing a program and sending the program to said transmission system; another of said information processing units having means for receiving the program from said transmission system and storing the program in a memory in accordance with a content of the program, and means for retrieving a program based on the program structural information and sending the retrieved program to said transmission system; and at least other of said information processing units each having means for sending the program structural information to said transmission system and means for judging the corresponding program and receiving the program from said transmission system and loading the selected program in the unit.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
41 words
A system for loading a program according to Claim 4 further comprising means for receiving the program structural information from one of said other information processing units through said transmission system and retrieving the program based on the program structural information.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
A system for loading a program according to Claim 4 further comprising means for sending the program structural information to said transmission system when one of said other information processing units is started.
