DEFINITION

Classification: 710/58

Input/Output process timing:

(under subclass 1) Subject matter further comprising means or steps for regulating when functions are performed in order to transfer data between the peripheral and digital data processing system or computer.

(1) Note. This subclass is directed to timing considerations for Input/Output processes in communications between a peripheral and digital data processing system or computer. Communication between programs, processes, or tasks (i.e., interprogram communication and interprocess communication) is classified elsewhere. See the SEE OR SEARCH CLASS notes below.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS

709, Electrical Computers and Digital Data Processing Systems: Multiple Computer and Process Coordinating,

1+, for task management, per se, which generally is triggered by an interrupt event, subclass 200 for data transferring between plural computers, per se, subclass 248 for synchronizing the operations of plural digital data processing systems and computers, and subclasses 300+ for interprogram and interprocess communication.

713, Electrical Computers and Digital Data Processing Systems: Support,

500+, for clock processing, per se.
