Description

  The present invention relates to a service cooperation system, method, and program for providing a flexible web service to a user by synthesizing a service by linking a plurality of web services.

  Configure the services and networks provided to users in order to realize linked services adapted to users and networks, as a traditional linked service provision technology for synthesizing new web services by linking multiple web services. Some have a function that is a smaller unit as a basic unit, and construct a linkage service by dynamically combining this basic unit using metadata about the function.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the construction of the conventional cooperative service described above. As shown in the figure, for the sound source 101, a volume adjustment function 102, an audio output function 103, and a dial function 104 are provided on the network. As described above, when the sound source 101, the volume adjustment function 102, the audio output function 103, and the dial function 104 are provided on the network, a linked service for controlling the volume of the music stream flowing on the network by a dial of any device. Can be created. As a result, it becomes possible to create a cooperation service according to the situation of the user or the network (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1).

  Here, in order to create a dynamically linked service using metadata about functions, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the functions and the metadata between functions and the interfaces between functions. It is difficult for a general user who has few opportunities to do so. Further, there is no mention of a method for confirming whether or not the created cooperation service is a service desired by the user.

  As another cooperative service providing technology, there is a technology that selects and cooperates a service component that is a service function element on a network based on a service scenario that is a service flow according to a user's situation. As a method of selecting a service component according to a user's situation, a service that becomes a candidate for selection by abstractly describing the functional operation (operation) of the service component using metadata information (operation metadata). The component operation metadata can be detected widely, and the operation metadata of the service component to be actually used is selected from the detected operation component operation metadata according to the user's situation, and the operation metadata of the selected service component is selected. The interface information of the operation is acquired by acquiring the mapping information between the data and the interface information of the operation.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the conventional technology for providing a cooperative service described above.
In the figure, the service cooperation engine 202 sets a service scenario in the service scenario setting unit 221 by receiving a service scenario included in a service provision request transmitted from the user terminal device 208, and the service scenario is set. As a result, the service component detection unit 222 detects the operation metadata group of the service component that is a candidate for selection, and the service component selection unit 223 determines the user status from among the operation metadata group of the candidate service component that is detected. In response, the operation metadata of the service component to be used is selected, and the service component execution / linkage unit 224 acquires the interface information of the operation of the selected service component, and retrieves it. It indicates that the execution request of the operations of the service component based on the interface information sent in the order as described in the service scenario is for sending to the user terminal 208 as an execution result of the cooperation services requested results.

As described above, the service scenario is sent to the service linkage engine 202, and the operation metadata of the selected service component is linked from the operation metadata of a number of service components according to the situation of the user. This makes it possible to provide a cooperative service (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 2).
However, this does not mention a method for confirming whether or not the cooperation service to be provided is the service desired by the user.

  In addition, as a service providing technology that mediates not only the cooperation service but also a service created by a third party, an information distribution center that distributes content to a user terminal device and settles a content usage fee through a public network, A network management center that manages the telephone public network and collects telephone charges is provided. When the network management center receives a connection request to the information distribution center sent from the user terminal device, the user is authenticated based on the user's telephone number. However, there are devices that connect a user terminal device and an information distribution center. Thus, by providing the network management center and the information distribution center and linking them together, the user can easily use the content without performing member registration or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Here, when the content is used, the user is not notified even if the content usage fee is changed or the content is changed, so the user cannot confirm these changes.

FIG. 3 briefly describes the outline of the portion related to the present invention of the service collaboration engine 2 in the service collaboration system of the embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 3, the service scenario database 3 stores service scenarios and linked service samples created by businesses and third parties. In the cooperative service sample stored in the service scenario database 3, the service component has already been selected.

  When the user wants to see a sample of the cooperation service, the user terminal device 8 transmits a service provision request to the service cooperation engine 2. The provision request receiving unit 25 of the service cooperation engine 2 receives this service provision request and sends it to the service sample setting unit 26. At this time, the user may have stored the cooperation service that was previously considered a good service, and may transmit the cooperation service sample at that time by including it in the request for presentation of the cooperation service sample.

  The service sample setting unit 26 searches and selects the service scenario database 3, sets a service sample, and transmits a service sample execution result to the user terminal device 8. Further, when mediating a linked service created by a third party, the validity inquiry unit 28 issues a request to inquire of the service creator terminal device 9 that created the linked service whether there is a change in service usage fee or a change in content. If the response includes a reply that there is a change, the response is transmitted to the user terminal device 8.

The user sees the execution result of the service sample received from the service cooperation engine 2 by the user terminal device 8, determines whether or not to accept, and if accepted, the user terminal device 8 approves the execution to the service cooperation engine 2.
