Description

Unified calculating and communication architecture (UCCA)

The application enjoy submitted on November 19th, 1998, title for " interactive communication network ", sequence number is the right of priority of 60/109,420 U.S. Provisional Patent Application.

The present invention relates to computer based communication architecture and more particularly, relate to full duplex how point-to-point and multi-multipoint communication network topological structure in real time, its by the data transmission of dividing into groups based on managed service quality (QoS) convenient audio frequency, video, image, data and user interactions seamless combination in the computer based communication process.

No matter how are its size or market, each tissue has identical information flow problem, exactly provide correct information in the correct time to correct people.Audio frequency, video, image, list, electrical form, record, application, books, report, design, projection, course, training material, note or the like comprise the different array of the content tissue of needs operations all.The purpose of unified calculating and communication architecture (UCCA) provides a kind of computer based communication solution, and it supports essential information flow and the assessment that allows content creating, Content Management, distribution of contents, content security and content to use.

The reinforcement of communication is necessary in the environment of combination work and training.In order to make these effort success, the subject matter expert must carry out content communication and management and encourage a plurality of participants under dynamic mode reciprocation.The subject matter expert must promote this reciprocation, preferably approximate cooperation face-to-face or ＂ practicality (hands-on) ＂ study.At last, the subject matter expert must have the function that monitor to participate in rank or individual participant and do the success of as a whole group.Therefore, evaluation function becomes very important.

Perfectly network establishment, management, distribution, safety and the assessment of the different arrays uses of convenient content side by side.In the time of in participating in the communication session that uses this network, the dynamic and degree of functioning that is experienced is just carried out direct personal communication as two or more people.Two or more individuals communicate by letter in real time and fully put into practice the cooperation of ＂ situation with ＂ and represent the highest possible communication bandwidth.It takes place in real time, is two-way interactive completely, and needed excitation when producing everyone and need keep information effectively.

Attention it is also important that: assessment is the aspect of this information flow process most critical.In these all performances, assessment has direct influence to yield-power and the efficient of measuring success and increasing any process.For example, medical plan, course series, production line, distribution channel, combat mission, and user's business activities have the common needs of assessment all so that determine their whether success.There is not assessment just not have the continuous improvement of the yield-power and the efficient of any process.

All these mean that the efficient communication of computer based also should carry out in real time.This also means during this process, also allows participant and information to carry out reciprocation when must encourage the participant visually, audibly and emotionally.Any solution of information flow problem must begin with the feasible communications infrastructure.Regrettably, existing phone, Local Area Network, wide area network (WAN), internet, satellite, wireless and CATV (cable television) technology are the obstacles of information flow.All these has intrinsic restriction, its hindered real-time, two-way, guaranteed, global, equate visit, reliably, upgradeable, high-quality business continuously.In fact telephony infrastructure is a real time bidirectional, but it is based on statistics, and its processing audio rather than handle the different arrays of the real needed content of information flow only.And when the form with real time bidirectional disposes satellite, then too complicated and too expensive.Cable television appliances is unidirectional.LAN, WAN, and Internet technology is based on statistics and any assurance that can not transmit the solution needed service quality of information flow problem (QoS), performance, safety and reliability.

Fig. 1 is a conceptual model of management information flow solution, and it is adapted to pass through based on the cooperation of the communication network of distributed computer and training.Usually, need the participation of six different titles.

(1) keeper (overseer or teacher) beginning session, carry out session management, form with real-time audio, video, image, text or the like is provided to one or more participants (user or student) to content, and management assessment and from session participant (user or student's) feedback.

(2) participant (user or student) at first with network center's formal verification themselves.During an active session, participant (user or student) can be in real time directly communicates with the whole bag of tricks and keeper (overseer or teacher) or any amount of other participants (user or student).Participant (user or student) receives, increases, edits content with real-time form and carries out alternately and provide feeding back so that allow keeper (overseer or teacher) separately that the individual and the group of process are assessed with content.

(3) for any problem that may occur, concerning all participants, can use assistant's platform.

(4) network manager sets up new network account and by the analysis of the audit-trail of all-network visit being safeguarded account, safety and the note expense of this network.

(5) for previous and selectable communication performance are provided, auxiliary communication is available.This comprises internet, phone, fax, TV, CATV (cable television), broadcasting or the like.

(6) content developer has a responsibility for producing by any amount of keeper (overseer or teacher) and participant (user or student) and uses different arrays with the content that transmits.

Narrate network architecture of the present invention below.

1. network architecture

Realize communication and the information flow chart of Fig. 2 by a kind of exclusive distributed network architecture, its support simultaneously many " point-to-point " and many " point-to-multipoints " in real time full duplex connect and without any the reduction of network performance.With reference now to Fig. 3-7, narrates according to network architecture of the present invention.

The basic building block of this UCCA is known as business unit.Fig. 3 is the block scheme of the business unit 10 of minimal configuration, and it comprises single registrar 30-1, a clog-free ATM switch 60 of central authorities and a plurality of client communication terminal (for example, ＂ client computer ＂) A1, A2...A80.

In business unit 10 inside, registrar 30-1 is designated to be responsible for guaranteed network and data access are sent to the client computer A1 of the maximum number of definition, A2...An.In Fig. 3, the client computer maximum number that provides is 80, for example, and A1, A2...A80.Each client computer A1, A2...A80 have switched virtual circuit (SVC) (SVC) or Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC), and it has real-time Communication for Power is carried out in permission by ATM switch 60 and its registrar 30-1 separately service quality (QoS) feature.All client computer A1, total full-duplex data rate of A2...A80 can not surpass registrar transmission content and professional ability when 100% bandwidth is used.Therefore, the performance that the data of the communication service group of guarantee being set up by registrar transmit limits the client computer A1 of each registrar 30-1, the maximum number of A2...An.Owing to keep a large amount of virtual route (VP) or the ability of virtual circuit (VC), the demand of guaranteed visit and performance can be with by professional base application, and needn't be that total bandwidth is used.Use for non-critical task, this allows to support that the UCCA of lower cost realizes.In other words, more client computer A1, A2...An can be connected on the single registrar 30-1, and it introduces statistical nature with lower whole network performance as cost subsequently.

Client computer A1, A2...A80 is connected on their the appointment registrar 30-1 by dedicated data path 130, communication trunk 40 and ATM switch 60 separately.Just as will be described, various types of dedicated data path 130 are possible.In existing high distributional environment, particularly in ConUS, in typical case, small-sized ATM switch is used in local central office.Dedicated data path 130 rely on local central office's ATM switch 27 in case by with ATM switch 60 direct-connected available communication links 40 from client computer A1, the ATM service set of A2...A80.ATM switch 60 is the clog-free ＂ of ＂, wherein supports the point-to-point of any while and point-to-multipoint SVC combination.In this case, any client computer A1, A2...An can set up the session of a full duplex point-to-point communication with the form and any other client computer in the business unit 10 of clog-free (guaranteeing visit).A client computer A1, A2...A80 can set up communication session simultaneously with the every other client computer in business unit 10.Can carry out client computer A1 simultaneously, many " point-to-multipoint " communication sessions between the A2...A80 and arbitrarily the session participant can not feel that performance reduces.At last, each client computer A1, A2...A80 have content and professional clog-free (assurance) visit to being transmitted by their registrar separately.Concern that by these Fig. 3 has reflected the following function of UCCA: support the connection of multidimensional, it uses the method for being used by existing internet and telephony infrastructure based on the oversubscription of adding up that is connected is impossible.

A. host-host protocol.

ATM is a kind of host-host protocol, for example, data, speech and video is sent to the method in another one place from a place.ATM is the international standard that is used for mesh delay, Fast Packet Switch technology.It has intrinsic advantage, because its transporting speech, video and data service on universal circuit, and it provides bandwidth as required.The network of other types is used to transmit the synchronizing information as video or speech towards circuit, or towards what divide into groups, is used for high speed data transfer.These circuit-switched networks guarantee end-to-end transfer and response time, but they waste expensive bandwidth.The synchronized packets switching technology makes bandwidth use optimization, but has the grouping delivery time of variation.Therefore, packet-switch technology may not be suitable for synchronous business, because the retardation between the grouping causes jitter transfer.ATM combines the high efficiency of Circuit-switched reliability and packet-switch technology.ATM is packet fragmentation 53 byte cells.Packet-switched operation on the path is up to per second tens bits.As illustrating at this, atm technology is well suited for local campus lan and wide area network (WAN).

B.ATM switch 60.

The preferably clog-free enterprise atm switch of ATM switch 60.This is a kind of known equipment, and it is designed to form the main line of the enterprise network of area on a large scale.ATM switch 60 should be observed current atm forum, atm user-network interface standard, standardization department of international telecommunication union telecommunication (ITU-T) and ETSI European Telecommunications Standards Institute's (ETSI) standard and suggestion.The clog-free ATM switch of the ASX-4000 per second 40G byte of Previous System is 15,000 client computer that are well suited for and support to have up to each connection of 1.28Mbps full duplex.

C. communication trunk 40.

The needs of hub, router, bridge, inverse multiplexer have been removed in the use based on the communication trunk 40 of ATM with client computer/registrar ratio of having defined, and guarantee that native system can guarantee the service quality (QoS) between any two client computer of single business unit 10 inside.This is necessary for network-multimedia application, its strict control in network stand-by period and shake.The QoS of ATM guarantees the operation based on cell with it, allow single, a plurality of business networks of configuration, all thereon types of service--speech, video and data---can real-time Transmission, therefore reduced the constraint of the cost relevant, complicacy and geography with legacy network.In present network, in typical case, the physical infrastructure of network (for example, hub and router) has been stipulated the physics LAN section that terminal can be connected thereto.Therefore, next-door neighbour's user must place on the identical LAN.On the contrary, the physics and the logical topology structure of ATM net are not complementary, and this has created a training environment convenient network management simultaneously more flexibly.This UCCA does not see the difference between LAN (Local Area Network) and the wide area network.User on the client computer A1 can not distinguish its with client computer A2 in adjacent rooms on the another one user's communications or with what difference is arranged between the user's communications on 4,000 miles client computer A3 far away.

D. client computer A1-A80.

Client computer A1-A80 is keeper (overseer or teacher), participant (user or student), network manager, assistant's platform and content developer's a communication terminal.Each client computer A1-A80 is special computing machine, it has used digital camera 120, loudspeaker, microphone, one or more displays, BIOMETRIC DEVICE 125 (fingerprint scanner, retinal scanner or the like), and enough host process function and data throughput capabilities, so that side by side transmit the abundant mixed information of audio frequency, video, image, virtual reality, file and data.

High-resolution fire alarm line (FireWire) video camera that digital camera 120 preferably can have been bought from some producers.The fire alarm line is one of quick peripheral hardware standard of once developing, and this makes it be well suited for the multimedia peripheral such as video camera and other high-speed equipments and uses.The fire alarm line supports the low latency method so that video is incorporated in the network, and it is the key that UCCA requires, and comprises integrated service quality (QoS) control.This requires each client computer to have the fire alarm line cap of one or more IEEE-1394 of meeting.

Preferably current USB (universal serial bus) (USB) fingerprint scanner that can buy from some producers of BIOMETRIC DEVICE 125.BIOMETRIC DEVICE based on USB provides low-cost, combination is easy, and because the individual event of proof procedure interrupts, it has represented the appropriate use of USB technology and its bandwidth constraints.This requires each client computer to have one or more USB port.

The preferred desk-top computer modification of client computer A1-A80 is to support one or more Motorola MPC-7400 PowerPC ^TMProcessor is as the computer platform of master processor array.MPC-7400 comprises 128 AltiVec ^TMPerformance element and processor is classified as supercomputer.IBM has AltiVeC ^TMThe PowerPC of processor ^TMSecond supplier.Have the drawing port (AGP) of acceleration, peripheral component interface (PCI) bus, USB, and the integral body of fire alarm line is based on PowerPC ^TMComputer Architecture be a kind of industrial standard and be to obtain from some producers.The current all main operating system just in use of PowerPC platform operation allows to use all Macintosh, Unix, and window application in the UCCA environment.This provides more powerful support to carrying out to the previous application of the tissue of the performance transition of future generation of UCCA.

By address side by side in single chip solution that high band wide data is handled and the arithmetic centralized calculation in provide the forward position, the common treatment performance, the AltiVeC of Motorola ^TMTechnological expansion the performance of Power PC platform.Especially, replace less 32 or 64 bit data used in the former processor, the MPC-7400 processor can be handled 128 bit data.In addition, single 450MHz MPC-7400 processor can be carried out Floating-point Computation and carry out integer calculations with per second up to the speed of 21,000,000,000 operations up to the speed of 4,500,000,000 operations with per second.MPC-7400 and Power PC platform co-ordination are so that quicken side by side to transmit the needed centralized data processing of speech, video and data.

Because service quality (QoS) performance of ATM and concentrate the function of speech, video and data by single direct physics or wireless connections, present architecture uses ＂ QoS to arrive client computer (QoS-to-the-Client) ＂.

Utilization realizes that based on the ATM communication interface among each client computer A1-A80 of being installed in of pci bus client computer A1-A80 connects.

Fig. 4 has illustrated all kinds that are suitable for client computer A1-An is connected to the dedicated data path 130 of business unit 10.Provide this variability, then client computer ATM communication interface 25 (referring to Fig. 3) with support to comprise T1, E1, DS-3, OC-3, OC-12, SDSL, MMDS is wireless, LMDS is wireless, satellite whole.In addition, developing the connection standard now.The single ATM communication interface 25 of the broad range by realizing having dedicated data path 130 performances provides following advantage:

ⅰ. remove communication layers and to the low-cost upgrading of bandwidth technical support faster in the future.

ⅱ. the dedicated data path 130 that allows client computer A1-A80 to utilize the region of lower cost to transmit, the while is still supported the managed service quality (QoS) of whole service unit 10.

ⅲ. allow client computer A1-A80 to be positioned at actual global optional position.

ⅳ. at T1, E1, the ATM on DS-3 or the like are low-cost, quick and reliable, and it has become international standard.

ⅴ. allow all application of record and needn't consider to allow in the future strong functions more is added to economically the complicacy of the UCCA infrastructure on each client computer A1-An.A part of this UCCA design is exactly: become first upgradeable continuously communication technology.

In order to reach this purpose, preferably there are a plurality of hardware variations of client computer A1-A80 so that finish many-sided needs of six different title 1-6 of Fig. 2.When cost becomes a problem, the design standards structure for the application of high power capacity.These modification comprise needed different peripheral hardware, multi-memory more, bigger hard disk drive, more display and other add-on assembles.For example, content development client architecture can comprise traditional multimedia peripheral of similar sweep optical square and file camera and so on.This structure allows content developer 6 to use more resources of medium to create the content and the business of business unit.

The preferred desktop computer modification of client computer A1-A80 has two displays.Additional display real estate has been eliminated " pattern " and has been switched, and allows full action video image and other medium and Interactive control side by side to coexist.The client computer embodiment of current desktop computer can be in two 1024 * 768 pixels (32 of every pixels) video window (video window of each display), with timing bidirectional mode transmission 320 * 240 pixels (every pixel 4: 2: 2YUV) digital camera 120 source videos of per second 30 frames.Use the client computer underconsumption 512Kbps bandwidth of single MPC-7400 processor just can carry out this operation to video and audio frequency.This is to carry out under the help of the wavelet video compression/decompression program (＂ CODEC ＂) in the pure software form of symmetry.Have been found that the symmetry wavelet CODEC algorithm only consume single 450MHz MPC-7400 master processor computing power 40%.And this class CODEC can obtain the ratio of compression greater than 60: 1, and has considered that video largely coexists simultaneously with whole other information services, and this ratio is necessary so that preserve the business unit bandwidth that is used to concentrate in this UCCA.The calculating and the data throughput capabilities of current available other 32 or 64 bit processors that afford to provide has been provided this compliant compression.In many master processors environment, with every pixel more the higher bit degree of depth can support more high-resolution source video (640 * 480,1280 * 720, and 4096 * 4096).And, support similar MPEG-2 and the video and the audio frequency CODEC that use all standards of the CODEC standard in H.323.

The other modification of client computer A1-A80 can comprise portable client, portable radio client computer, and the client computer that is designed to use the HDTV interface of one or more MPC-7400 processors.Must expand the physical arrangement of client computer, in any possible operating environment, to use, to meet expectation other dirigibility of level and the scope of application.
