Abstract
Changing the properties and/or behavior (the character) of an object is accomplished by setting a dynamically changeable inheritance (character inheritance) for the object. An object-oriented processing system comprises a database which stores a plurality of objects, a character inheritance setting unit which sets a character inheritance according to an instruction and thereby accomplishes a corresponding character, and a sensor input/output unit which stores a story definition part that describes a procedure for instructing the character inheritance setting unit to change the character according to the passage of time or to a change in an external environmental condition. An object-oriented CASE apparatus comprises a character inheritance creation unit for interactively creating a plurality of selectable character inheritances and for storing the character inheritances in the character inheritance setting unit, and a story definition part creation unit for creating the story definition part and stores it in the sensor input/output unit.
