Abstract
A form driven operating system which permits dynamic reconfiguration of any host processor into a virtual machine which supports any of a number of operating system independent applications. A data transaction assembly server (TAS) downloads menus and forms which are unique to each application requiring data to be input for local or remote processing. The data transactions and forms are exchanged between the TAS, which functions as a form driven operating system of the host computer, and a remote processor in a real-time fashion so that virtually any operating system independent software application may be implemented in which a form driven operating system may be used to facilitate input, and in which the data input into the form may be processed locally or remotely, returned as a data stream, and displayed to the user. The TAS merely requires a flash PROM for storing the TAS control firmware, a RAM for storing the data streams making up the forms and menus, and a small RAM which operates as an input/output transaction buffer for storing the data streams of the template and the user replies to the prompts during assembly of a data transaction.
