When the CP / SP system 11 intends to provide a predetermined mobile service through the service network, not only the download of the corresponding service or content, but also user authentication, billing processing according to the use of the mobile communication system 13, etc. It must be complex.

For example, in order to transmit a multimedia message, first of all, a user confirms whether a user who sends and receives a user through an authentication system (not shown) of a mobile communication system is a normal user, and manages terminal information. The mobile communication terminal of the receiving user should check whether the model is capable of receiving the multimedia message.After the checking procedure as described above, the mobile terminal is connected to the MMSC 136 to request transmission of the multimedia message, and then the multimedia message is transmitted. When the completion is confirmed, the charging of the message should be performed.

In order to provide one mobile service as described above, interworking with various systems in the mobile communication system 13 (hereinafter, referred to as a legacy system) is required. In the past, the CP / SP side has a mobile communication system 13 Direct access to each legacy system, to request each required processing and receive the results. In this case, since the interfacing with each legacy system of the mobile communication system 13 must be implemented separately, the construction of the CP / SP system 11 is complicated, and the mobile communication system 13 and the mobile communication system 13 to provide one service. Since multiple message exchanges have to be made, it is difficult to provide fast and stable services.

Accordingly, the present invention has been proposed to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a single interface for integrating and using various resources of a mobile communication system, and to provide various business models of a content / service provider (CP / SP).

Provide a business support system.

Hereinafter, an open mobile business support method and system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

9 is a flowchart of an open mobile business support method according to the present invention.

9, the open mobile business support method according to the present invention is as follows.

The present invention is implemented in the mobile communication system 13 in the logic of the mobile service provided by the CP / SP system 11, started in the CP / SP system 11, and the CP / SP system 11. In order to provide the logic ending in the form in advance, for this purpose, the open mobile business support method of the present invention, as shown in the step (S910) of Figure 9, can be bundled into a unit function among the service logic of the CP / SP system 11 Set the lower function to bead logic that can be performed by the mobile communication system.

In the above, the Biz logic is started by the CP / SP system 11 and performed by comparing with the legacy system of the mobile communication system 13 and the comparison / determination of the interworking results, and finally the CP / SP system ( As a logic for delivering the result to 11), it represents a bundle of lower functions that can be combined into a single function among the service logic provided by the CP / SP system 11. Such bead logic is preferably set in consideration of the frequency of use, reuse, etc. in the various CP / SP system (11). For example, in any type of mobile service, most of the required user authentication or terminal authentication logic is a single function, but because it is highly reusable, it is preferable to set it to bead logic. In addition, the mobile communication terminal In the case of the mobile service for downloading a specific content or file (14), various functions such as authentication, data conversion, and billing are processed in combination, and it is preferable to set it as a separate biz logic because of its high frequency of use.

In more detail the setting process of the business logic, after selecting the service logic through a verification procedure such as usage, usage trends, business aspects, and the like, the part corresponding to the scope of the business logic is selected from the service logic (S911). ).

FIG. 10A illustrates an example of a service selected for setting up business logic. As shown in FIG. 10A, a menu provided through a service of the wireless Internet of the mobile communication terminal 14 (store in my phone) Sending to a friend, coupling, in the basket), select the store in my phone service, and look at the detailed logic of the selected service is represented as shown in Figure 10b.

As shown in FIG. 10B, the mobile service of "storing in my phone" selects a specific content through the mobile communication terminal 14 and selects a "storing in my phone" menu. After requesting user authentication using the number as input data and determining whether the user is a normal individual user, a corporate user, a prepaid user, an intelligent network user, etc., if the user is an abnormal user or a corporate user, the user cannot use the paid service. To the mobile communication terminal 14, and in the case of a prepaid user, after the prepaid subtraction process, in the case of a general user, the process of transmitting and charging the content immediately.

Among these service logics, as shown in FIG. 10C, the bead logic is determined through range selection, object selection, separation, and optimization.

In the above, the criteria for selecting the bead logic in the service logic, the degree of aggregation of the functional unit of the logic, the degree to be derived to the formal form of the sum of the individual logic, the degree of practical use reality, neutral and independent It can be configured to be reconstructed elsewhere, and must be inevitably classified by user's input in service logic, or the input / output value of each other in logic or external influence If received, detach the Biz logic.

FIG. 10D illustrates an example of the bead logic derived from the service logic to be transmitted to the internal phone through the process shown in FIG. 10C, wherein the bead logic processes a user authentication including a prepaid balance inquiry and a bead that performs a prepaid subtraction process. You can set the logic.

As described above, when the range of the biz logic is determined, the determined biz logic is analyzed to convert the logic required for interworking with the legacy system of the mobile communication system 12 into a first biz object (also called an I-type object). The logic for comparing or determining the result of the interworking with the system is set as a second bead object (also called a P-type object) (S912). An input value and an output value are defined for the set first and second bead objects.

The second bead object may be represented as one bead object when several comparison / decision steps may be bundled into one unit.

FIG. 10E illustrates an example of setting a first bead object in the bead logic that processes the user authentication including the prepaid balance inquiry selected as shown in FIG. 10D, and is an object that requests user authentication in cooperation with an authentication legacy system. Corresponds to 1 beads object.

FIG. 10F illustrates an example of setting a second bead object among the bead logic that processes the user authentication including the prepaid balance inquiry selected as shown in FIG. 10D, and is an object that determines whether to perform a service from an authentication legacy system and a processing result. Corresponds to the second bead object. Here, the second biz object is set by combining the normal user check, corporate user check, prepaid user check, multi-step among the prepaid user or the verification process of the intelligent network user that the input and output match.

As described above, if the first bead object and the second bead object is set by analyzing logic within the determined range, the set first and second bead objects are arranged in accordance with the flow of the corresponding bead logic, and the input and output values are arranged. Define to configure a bead template that is the execution form of the corresponding bead logic (S913). The beads template may be represented in a general flow chart form, which includes a list of constituent beads objects, attributes of each object, execution order of the beads objects, expression of conditional branches, input parameter information for executing the beads objects, and a data manipulation method. This includes information about the output parameters derived after the Biz template has been performed and the execution timeout settings.

FIG. 10G illustrates an example of a bead template that formalizes bead logic for processing user authentication including the prepaid balance inquiry determined in FIG. 10D. As shown in the table on the right, I-type authentication for querying user information_ It consists of a user information inquiry biz object, a P-type user information check biz object that checks whether a user is a serviceable user, and an I type of authentication_prepaid inquiry biz object that queries a user's prepaid balance. It is expressed as a flowchart of.

The input data of the biz template is the price of the user's telephone number and the content, and the output data is the success or failure of the processing result and the prepaid user.

As described above, the biz template is an implementation form of the set biz logic, such as a user authentication template, an SMS transmission template, an MMS transmission template, a general location finder template, a push platform message transmission template using SMS / CBS, etc. This can be implemented.

11 and 12 show another example of the beads template constructed by the present invention, FIG. 11 shows a biz template for biz logic for basic user authentication processing, and FIG. 12 shows whether a terminal is supported during user authentication. It is a biz template of biz logic including.

Referring to FIG. 11, the biz template for the basic user authentication process may be a user object that can be serviced from the I-type authentication_user information inquiry Biz object (①) for inquiring user information and the user information inquiry result. And a P-type user information checking bead object (2) for checking the information, the input data is a user telephone number and, optionally, a user authentication type, and the output data is a processing result (success or failure).

The biz template of FIG. 12 is for the I-type authentication_user information inquiry biz object (1) for inquiring user information and the P-type user information check for checking whether the user can be serviced from the user information inquiry result. Biz object (②) and I-type terminal support check biz object (③) for checking whether a terminal supports a specific service for a serviceable user, and the input data includes a receiver telephone number and user information. Check option value, terminal support service type, and output data becomes processing result.

As described above, in the state in which the bead logic is set, and the bead template is prepared, the CP / SP system 11 provides an interface for requesting the execution of the bead logic and returning the result, and performs the specific bead logic through the interface. Receive the request (S920).

In the above, when a request for execution of a specific biz logic is received, the biz template, which is an execution form of the corresponding biz logic, is found, the biz template is interworked with a legacy system, and the execution result is CP / SP through the interface. Return to the system 12 (S930, S940).

In the above description, the interface with the CP / SP system 11 configures and provides an API (Application Program Interface) function for each business template, and the execution request of the specific business logic is implemented in an API call format of the specific business template.

In addition, the open mobile business support method of the present invention receives a request to perform a predetermined object from a specific legacy system of the mobile communication system 12, performs the requested beads object in association with a corresponding legacy system, and then By providing the result value to the specific legacy system that sent the request, it can support interworking between legacy systems. In other words, by using the existing built-in beads object, it is possible to support fast processing when interworking between legacy systems.

Next, the configuration and operation of the open mobile business support system for performing the open mobile business support method described above will be described in detail.

In addition, reference numeral 21 denotes a CP / SP system for providing a mobile service to the mobile communication terminal 14, and reference numeral 29 denotes a legacy (including a service platform, an infrastructure system, network configuration equipment, etc.) of the mobile communication system 13. legacy) system.

Examples of the service platform of the legacy system 29 include, for example, a messaging platform for providing a multimedia messaging service, a location service platform (LBSP) for providing location services such as location tracking / retrieval, and a predetermined content of a mobile communication terminal. There is a download platform for downloading to, and the infrastructure system includes a terminal information management system for managing terminal information, an authentication system for managing user information, and the network configuration device as SMSC (Short Message Service Center), CBSC ( Cell Broadcasting Service Center.

As shown in FIG. 3, the open mobile business support system of the present invention provides an integrated interface to the various legacy systems 29 to mediate the CP / SP system 21 and the legacy system 29. The CP / SP system 21 supports to configure and provide a mobile service easily.

To this end, the OI processing unit 22 is a means for providing an interface through which the CP / SP system 21 outside the mobile communication system 13 requests execution of specific business logic and returns the result. It provides connection based API (Application Program Interface). At this time, the request of specific biz logic is made through API function call of the corresponding biz template, and it transmits Biz template identification information to be performed through the calling function, data to be served (content, etc.), and returns a result value. Receive. The OI processing unit 21 analyzes the request received from the CP / SP system 21 as described above, extracts the beads template identification information and the data to be serviced, and transfers the data to the business logic processing unit 23. In this case, the OI processing unit 23 generates and manages a unique session key for each request of the CP / SP system 21, and the generated session key is a bead processed in an open mobile business model support system. Used to distinguish logic.

In addition, the OI processing unit 23 performs encryption and decryption of data transmitted between the CP / SP system 21 and, if necessary.

The business logic processing unit 23 may be bundled into a unit function among the service logics of the CP / SP and implemented for each of the legacy systems of the mobile communication system, which is implemented to perform the biz logic which is a sub function performed by the mobile communication system. Stores / manages / executes a plurality of bead objects that perform the interworking or comparison / decision based on the interworking result and the bead templates arranged in a predetermined order to perform the bead logic. Here, the beads logic, the beads template, and the beads object refer to the description of FIGS. 10A to 12.

In other words, the business logic processing unit 23 sets and includes a bead template and a bead object, which are implementation forms of the supporting logic, and executes a biz template requested by the OI processing unit 23. The processing result is returned to the OI processing unit 22. In more detail, the business logic processor 23 sequentially performs the first or second beads object according to the arrangement order of the beads objects constituting the requested beads template, and when the execution of all the beads objects is completed The result value is returned to the OI processing unit 22. In this case, the business logic processing unit 23 requests the legacy interworking processing unit 26 to interwork with the legacy system 29 according to the type of the beads object constituting the Biz template and receives the result or returns the result. Perform internal judgment or comparison using

As described above, the open mobile business support system according to the present invention can quickly support a complex service in which various processes requested by the CP / SP system 21 are combined by using the business logic processor 23.

In addition, the open mobile business support system of the present invention can support performance-oriented interlocking processing requiring rapid processing. This is done via infrastructure channel intermediary 24.

The infrastructure channel intermediary 24 receives a request to perform a biz object performed in another legacy system 29 directly from the legacy system 29 inside the mobile communication system 13 without passing through the OI processing unit 22. The legacy system 29 transmits the requested beads object to the legacy system 29 through the legacy interworking processor 26, receives a processing result from the legacy system 29, and requests to perform the beads object again. ).

8 (a) and 8 (b) show the operation of the business logic processor 23 and the infrastructure channel provider 24 described above.

FIG. 8A illustrates a support procedure performed around the business logic processor 23. When an OI processor 22 transmits a request for executing a business template (①), data of the corresponding business template is transferred to the MMDB ( 31), (2), performing a second bead object of the corresponding bead template (3), and delivering a request message to the legacy interworking processor 26 according to the first bead object of the bead template (4), After repeating the process (⑤) of receiving the response message, after completing the execution of the beads template, the charging information is transmitted to the charging processing unit 25 (⑥), and the execution result is transmitted to the OI processing unit 22 ( ⑦). According to this, the business logic processor 23 performs the business logic of one or more services and processes, thereby supporting a mobile service centered on complex functions.

). FIG. 8B illustrates a procedure performed around the infrastructure channel provider 24. When a request for execution of a specific biz object is generated from a specific legacy system 29, the infrastructure channel provider 24 is performed. After receiving and analyzing this directly (i), it performs internal processing (i), interworking request to legacy interworking processing unit 26, and response response (i) according to the requested bead object. The related billing information is transmitted to the billing processing unit 25 (i), and the result of the execution is transmitted to the legacy system 29 requesting service (

).

As described above, the mobile business support system of the present invention allows the interworking between the internal systems of the mobile communication system to be handled directly through the infrastructure channel providing unit 24 rather than through the OI processing unit 22 and the external CP / SP system 21. ) Can be handled by the OI processing unit 22 and the business logic processing unit 23, thereby separating and supporting complex function-oriented services and performance-oriented services, thereby improving service quality.

Next, in FIG. 3, the legacy interworking processing unit 26 is in charge of interworking with the legacy system 29, and standardized input / output interface functions for each legacy system divided into functional units for efficient processing, and for each legacy system. It is composed of a plurality of interlocking unit for processing the log and billing information, for example, the SMS interlocking unit 261 for transmitting a request to send a short message to the SMSC and return the result, the location-related inquiry or tracking in conjunction with the LBSP LBS interworking unit 262 for delivering the request message and returning the result of the execution, MMS interlocking unit 263 for delivering the multimedia message transmission request message to the MMSC and returning the result of execution, and mobile communication system 13 Authentication interworking unit 264 that transmits the authentication request message to the authentication legacy system related to the normal user, adult, billing processing and return the result It includes.

Next, the billing processing unit 25 collects the billing data of the business template, the business logic processor 23 and the infrastructure channel providing unit 24, the bill object according to the performance of the beads object, and transfers the billing data to the billing legacy system. More specifically, the billing processing unit 25 refers to billing conditions set for each service, and when billing conditions are satisfied when each of the beads template or the beads object is satisfied, billing information for the corresponding process (for example, Data volume, log time, etc.) is collected and converted to UDR data, and then transferred to the billing legacy system. As described above, since the charging processing unit 25 is formed on the same layer as the business logic processing unit 23 and the infrastructure channel providing unit 24, log information may be collected for each mobile service and for each legacy system, thus charging Detailed information and integrated processing are possible.

In addition, the open mobile business support system according to the present invention includes an OMS 27 to collect log information on the open mobile business support service, to monitor failure and performance information, and to manage information for supporting an operation task. . That is, the OI processing unit 23 collects log information for each CP / SP, and collects operation and failure information of the business logic processing unit 24 and the legacy interworking processing unit 26 and provides them to the CP / SP or the operator.

In addition, the open mobile business support system according to the present invention further includes a web service unit 28 that provides registration of CP / SP or administrator, inquiry of statistical information on open mobile business service performance, and monitoring. The web service unit 28 provides an administrator site and a CP / SP site, respectively.

Referring to FIG. 4, the open mobile business support system according to the present invention includes the OI processor 22, the business logic processor 23, the infrastructure channel provider 24, the billing processor 25, and the legacy. In addition to the interworking processing unit 26, the OMS 27, and the web service unit 28, the business logic processing unit 23 and the infrastructure channel mediation between the OI processing unit 22 and the business logic processing unit 23. And a message transfer unit 30 including a plurality of message queues (Message Queues, MQs) for performing signal transfer between the unit 24 and the legacy interworking processing unit 26. The open mobile business support system of the present invention through the message transfer unit 30, the OI processing unit 22, the business logic processing unit 23, the infrastructure channel providing unit 24, the billing processing unit 25) and a message exchange between the legacy interworking processor 26 in an asynchronous manner.

In addition, the open mobile business support system of the present invention further includes a memory-based database (MMDB) 31 that manages the request of the biz template and the execution result and state of the biz object / biz template. The MMDB 31 is an OI processor 22, a business logic processor 23, and an infrastructure channel provider 24 may both access and perform writing and reading, and the OI processor 22 may request the beads. When a template is recorded in the MMDB 31, the business logic processor 23 performs a biz template with reference to the MMDB 31, and uses the same to record the state. The MMDB 49 stores the beads template related information and provides the beads template information when requested by the OI processor 42 and the business logic processor 44.

In general, MMDB is a database (DB) that operates and resides in the main memory of a computer. Unlike existing DBs that are stored and used on a hard disk (HDD), MMDB resides in main memory. With the entire table resident in main memory, the existing DB query can be used as it is, which speeds up the search, comparison, and analysis of data. Therefore, in the present invention, the MMDB 31 can store the information of the requested bead template and the state information, thereby speeding up the process of the complex bead logic.

In addition, the open mobile business support system of the present invention further includes a repository DB 32 that stores and manages information, services, and content information of the content provider CP and the service provider SP.

The OMA 27 manages failure and performance information with reference to the MMDB 31 and the repository DB 32, and the web service unit 28 refers to the repository DB 32 to determine the CP / SP. It provides registration and change, monitoring services, and newly added business logic information (including APIs by business template).

The message delivery unit 30 shown in FIG. 4 includes a plurality of MQs 30a allocated for each system, and the OI processing unit 22 transmits a request message of a predetermined bead template to the message delivery unit 30. Recorded in MQ, the business logic processor 23 reads the biz template request message from the designated MQ of the message delivery unit 30, in turn, each of the beads objects constituting the biz template In this case, in the case of the first Biz object, the interworking request message of the predetermined legacy system is recorded in the message transfer unit 30. After reading and processing the request message from the designated MQ of the message transfer unit 30 of the legacy interworking processor 26, the result is written back to a predetermined MQ of the message transfer unit 34, and thus the business logic processor ( 23) reads the processing result for the first biz object from the MQ and continues the next processing. By transmitting the message through the message transfer unit 30 as described above, independent operation between the OI processing unit 22, the business logic processing unit 23, the infrastructure channel providing unit 24, and the legacy interworking processing unit 26 is performed. I can guarantee it.

5 shows a detailed configuration and message flow of the message transfer unit 30.

Referring to FIG. 5, the message queue provided in the message transfer unit 31 is largely a request message of the OI processing unit 22 to be received by the business logic processing unit 23 or a response message from the legacy interworking processing unit 26. A plurality of first message queues 311 and 312 for storing a plurality of first message queues, a second message queue 313 for storing a report message from a legacy interworking processor 26 to be received by the business logic processor 23, and an OI processor ( 22) or a plurality of third message queues 314 and 315 which are allocated to the legacy interworking processor 26 and store messages to be transmitted from the business logic processor 23, respectively.

The information (i.e., message queue name) representing the message queues 311 to 315 may include the name of the system that transmitted the stored message, the name of the system that will receive the stored message, whether the stored message is a response message or a request message, or a report message. The OI processing unit 22, the business logic processing unit 23, and the legacy interworking processing unit 26 each have their own request / You can identify the message queues to write or read reply / report messages.

Next, the operation of the open mobile business support system according to the present invention will be described sequentially with reference to FIGS. 5, 6, and 7.

Referring to FIG. 6, when the OI processing unit 22 receives an API call of a predetermined business logic of the CP / SP system 21 (S601), the API call function is analyzed to extract a bead template and data to be performed. Then, the execution request message of the beads template is generated and recorded in the first message queue 311 of the message transfer unit 30 (S602 to S604).

Thereafter, the OI processing unit 22 checks whether the execution result is stored in the third message queue 315 in which the result of the request for executing the biz template is stored, and determines the third message queue 315 of the message delivery unit 30. If the result of execution is stored in the second), the result value recorded in the third message queue 315 is read (S605), and a response message is generated according to the API of the corresponding business logic, and the CP / SP system 21 (S606, S607).

Here, the OI processing unit 22 may exist more than one in order to support more users. In this case, since the request messages of the OI processing unit 22 are sequentially read and processed by the business logic processing unit 23. The first message queue 311 may be used by all OI processing units 21 in common, but the third message queue 315 may have different destinations of messages for each session, and thus may be different for each OI processing unit 22. By setting a message queue and including the information on the message queue to return a result value when the request message is recorded, the business logic processor 23 can know where to record the result value of the biz template.

Referring to FIG. 7, the business logic processor 23 checks whether there is a biz template execution request message in the first message queue 311 of the message transfer unit 30, and if there is a new biz template execution request message. In operation S701, the beads template execution request message is read from the first message queue 311, and the beads template information related to the request message is loaded from the MMDB 31 (S702). In step S703, the flow of the loaded beads template is performed.

When the beads object of the beads template is an I-type during the execution, the message requesting the linkage of the legacy linkage processing unit 26 is stored in the third message queue 314. The third message queue 314 is allocated to each system of the legacy interlocking processor 26, and the recorded message is read and processed by the corresponding legacy interlocking processor 26, and a response message or report message for the result of execution is performed. Are recorded in the first and second message queues 312 and 313.

Therefore, the business logic processing unit 23 may receive a response or a report message to the request from the designated first and second message queues 312 and 313 (S705). If all of the processing of the beads template is not completed, the steps S704 and S705 are repeated.

When all processing of the corresponding beads template is completed (S706), the charging information related to the processing is transmitted to the charging processing unit 25 (S707).

In addition, the business logic processing unit 23 stores the Biz template execution result in the third message queue 315 of the message transfer unit 30 (S708).
