摘要

A method and apparatus for providing an interface to an operating system Abstraction television terminal with multimedia adaptation unit is used in a broadband environment: The interface defines an os Independent layer that abstracts the services that are necessary for IMP Regret the microprogram of a multimedia adaptation Unit independently of the os.The present Invention provides several Constructions that are exclusive to the broadband environment.These include a synchronisation Resource, a resource of alarm, and markers of denomination which provide inter process so that the interface of the present Invention may be adapted for both operating systems based on process for operating systems that are not based on proc That
