![[List of Patents for class 717 subclass 100]](../ps.gif) 100 | SOFTWARE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT TOOL (E.G., INTEGRATED CASE TOOL
OR STAND-ALONE DEVELOPMENT TOOL): |
| | This subclass is indented under the class definition. Subject matter comprising means or steps operating on a
computer or digital data processing system which enables a user
to create and manage computer program code.
| | (1)
Note. This subclass and those indented below accept computer
programming tools, environments, and application programs which
enable a programmer to create computer programs, for example, by
use of a flowchart, pseudo code, a graphical description, program
specifications, or by writing source code directly. However, particular
software applications such as natural language translators, business
tools, word processors, etc., are classified elsewhere. See the SEE
OR SEARCH CLASS notes below. |
| | (2)
Note. Integrated development environment (IDE) tools and Rapid
Application Development (RAD) tools are classified herein. |
| | (3)
Note. The tools classified here may translate input data into
source code, translate source code into object code, link object
code into executable code, or simply bring existing source code
modules together to satisfy specified requirements. Code converters
that change BCD to BINARY are classified elsewhere. See the SEE
OR SEARCH CLASS notes below. |
| | (4)
Note. The software development tools classifiable here may
include the use of artificial intelligence in the construction of
a program. However, artificial intelligence programming tools for
developing expert systems are classified elsewhere. See the SEE
OR SEARCH CLASS notes below. |
| | (5)
Note. The general ability to link certain modules together
to form a program is classifiable here. However, where the programming
tool is directed to a particular application such as the control
of a particular machine or device of another class, the proper classification
is in said machine or device class. For example, programming for
programmable positionable servo systems is classified with the positionable
servo systems art. See the SEE OR SEARCH CLASS notes below. And,
for example, programming for the machine control tools is classified with
the machine control art. See the SEE OR SEARCH CLASS notes below. |
| | (6)
Note. The software programming tools in this subclass often
utilize graphical, symbolic, or iconic metaphors in the user interface.
The combination of a programming tool with user interface metaphors
is properly classified here. However, generalized operator interface inventions
such as on-screen workspaces and features of GUI such as pop-up
controls and menus are classified elsewhere. See the SEE OR SEARCH
CLASS notes below. |
| | (7)
Note. The software development tools here may include tools
which perform the function of cross-compiling a program. However,
a program which performs the cross-compiling on an application running
on a platform is an emulator, per se, which is classified elsewhere.
See the SEE OR SEARCH CLASS notes below. |
| | (8)
Note. The software development tools here may include tools
for developing object-oriented programs. However, operations performed
during execution of object-oriented programs such as interprogram
communication between objects are classified elsewhere. See the SEE
OR SEARCH CLASS notes below. |
| | (9)
Note. The general ability to link certain modules such as
procedures or functions together to form a program is classifiable here.
However, communication between procedures and functions during execution
thereof such as function or procedure calls is classified elsewhere.
See the SEE OR SEARCH CLASS notes below. |
