SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING RESOURCES OF A PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE

A method and system for managing resources of a portable computing device is disclosed. The method includes receiving node structure data for forming a node in which the node structure data includes a unique name assigned to each resource of the node. A node has at least one resource and it may have multiple resources. Each resource may be a hardware or software element. The system includes a framework manger which handles the communications between existing nodes within a node architecture. The framework manager also logs activity of each resource by using its unique name. The framework manager may send this logged activity to an output device such as a printer or a display screen. The method and system may help reduce or eliminate a need for customized APIs when a new hardware or software element (or both) are added to a portable computing device.
