ABSTRACT:
An interruptible state machine includes a state machine and an interrupt processor. The interrupt processor minimizes the required total number of states for the state machine when it must return to its next "normal" state after an input or interrupt that may occur at any of its normal states. In response to the interrupt, the interrupt processor stores the next state, processes the interrupt, and restores the next state after processing the interrupt.
