Abstract: A timer management system and method for managing timers in both a synchronous and asynchronous system. In one embodiment of the present invention, a timer management system comprises an application program interface (API) for providing a set of synchronous functions allowing an application to functionally operate on the timer. The timer management system further comprises a timer database for storing timer-related information. Furthermore, the timer management system comprises a timer services for detecting the expiring of the timer. A handle function of the timer services allows an asynchronous application, i.e., application in a multi-task system, to synchronously act on the timer. That is, when a timer in a asynchronous system times-out, the handle function allows the asynchronous application to act on the expired timer without incurring an illegal time-out message. In another embodiment of the present invention, a timer may be reinitialized from the same allocated block of memory used to create the timer. In another embodiment of the present invention, a time-out message may be sent using the same allocated block of memory used to create the timer.
Abstract translation: 一种用于管理同步和异步系统中定时器的定时器管理系统和方法。 在本发明的一个实施例中，定时器管理系统包括用于提供一组同步功能的应用程序接口（API），允许应用在定时器上进行功能操作。 定时器管理系统还包括用于存储定时器相关信息的定时器数据库。 此外，定时器管理系统包括用于检测定时器到期的定时器服务。 定时器服务的句柄功能允许异步应用，即多任务系统中的应用程序同步地对定时器作用。 也就是说，当异步系统中的定时器超时时，句柄功能允许异步应用程序对过期的定时器进行操作，而不会引起非法超时消息。 在本发明的另一个实施例中，定时器可以从用于创建定时器的相同的分配的存储块重新初始化。 在本发明的另一个实施例中，可以使用用于创建定时器的相同的分配的存储块来发送超时消息。
