The configuration of the API addition system according to the basic embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The API addition system includes an information processing apparatus 1, a communication network 10, an information network 20, a communication node 11, and Web service providing systems 21 to 23.
The information processing apparatus 1 is connected to the communication network 10 and the information network 20. The information network 20 includes Web service providing systems 21 to 23. The Web service providing systems 21 to 23 are, for example, server devices connected to the information network 20, and are, for example, server devices that provide Web services.

The communication node 11 connected to the communication network 10 is a database that stores communication line telecom information (communication network information) or a server device that has the database. Here, the communication line telecom information is, for example, accommodation line / IP address information, network bandwidth information, traffic data, communication facility information, and the like.
The information processing apparatus 1 connected to the communication network 10 and the information network 20 uses the open API interface 40 to link the communication line telecom information and the telecom function of the communication node 11 of the communication network 10 to the cooperative information service information and the cooperative information service. This is provided as a function to the Web service providing systems 21 to 23.

  The information cooperation service use request transmitted from the Web service providing systems 21 to 23 to the information processing apparatus 1 is performed using an API function described in WSDL (Web Services Description Language) in the API interface 40.

WSDL is a language specification based on XML (Extensible Markup Language) for describing Web services. A method is described that describes what functions each Web service has and what requests are required to use it. Since the part that defines data and operation is separated from the part related to the communication protocol, the format can be reused regardless of the protocol or the encoding format.
Conversely, transmission from the information processing apparatus 1 to the Web service providing systems 21 to 23 is also performed using an API function described in WSDL.

As described above, since communication between the information processing apparatus 1 and the Web service providing systems 21 to 23 is performed using an API function described in WSDL, the communication between the Web service providing system 21 and the information processing apparatus 1 is performed. Becomes an open API interface 40.
Here, the API is a program file describing a processing procedure for executing a communication control processing function.
Here, the API function is a function including API identification information that is unique identification information given in advance to the API, an argument input to the API, a data type, and the like.
An open interface is an interface that does not depend on the implementation of a system that publishes a service, such as the description in WSDL described above.

All network functions provided by the API are converted into Web services, and the network functions are specified by an API function in the WSDL description that defines the contents of the telecom line information function providing service.
The information processing apparatus 1 that has received the API function searches the API corresponding to the API identification information (API name) of the API function from a storage unit that stores the API, which will be described later, and executes the API. Provide functionality and. The system management terminal 30 registers the WSDL definition statement including the API in the information processing apparatus 1.

  Here, the WSDL definition statement including the API includes what function the API has, the definition statement describing the argument format when using the API in WSDL, the API identification information of the API, and the like. , API information. A WSDL definition statement describing an API Web service is a WSDL definition statement including an independent function for each service element, or a WSDL definition statement in which the WSDL definition statements are aggregated.

Next, the configuration of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
Here, a server connected to the information network 20, for example, the Web service providing system 21 will be described as a server.
The information processing apparatus 1 includes a scenario server 190, an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) support unit 110, a Web support unit 121, an API function storage unit 130, a WSDL distribution DB (Database) 140, a service management control unit 150, , A session authentication unit 160, a cooperative service information creation unit 170, and a service bus 180.
In the API function storage unit 130 connected to the Web corresponding unit 121, a WSDL definition sentence including the API is stored and registered. This API is registered by the system management terminal 30 via the Web corresponding unit 121.

The API function storage unit 130 stores a WSDL definition statement including an API that is a communication control processing function for executing a communication control process for the communication node 11.
For example, the system administrator registers a WSDL definition statement including an API that is a communication control processing function in the API function storage unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 1 using the system management terminal 30.
The WSDL distribution DB 140 stores information cooperation service use requests input to the information processing apparatus 1.

The Web corresponding unit 121 receives an information cooperation service use request in which one or more API functions are described from the Web service providing system 21, and API identification information of the API function described in the received information cooperation service use request Are read from the API function storage unit 130, and the read API and API function are output to the IMS corresponding unit 110.
Further, the Web correspondence unit 121 writes the information cooperation service use request input from the information network 20 in the WSDL distribution DB 140.
Further, the Web correspondence unit 121 transmits response information to the information cooperation service use request received from the IMS correspondence unit 110 to the Web service providing system 21.
Further, the Web corresponding unit 121 performs data conversion and protocol conversion between the information processing apparatus 1 and the information network 20.

The IMS corresponding unit 110 executes communication control processing for the communication node 11 based on the API input from the Web corresponding unit 121 and the API function.
Also, the IMS corresponding unit 110 receives response information for the information cooperation service use request as a result of the communication control process from the communication node 11 and outputs the response information to the Web corresponding unit 121. The IMS corresponding unit 110 executes data conversion and protocol conversion between the information processing apparatus 1 and the communication network 10.

The scenario server 190 includes a scenario execution unit and a scenario storage unit.
In the scenario storage unit, a scenario in which a process execution procedure is described is stored as a scenario file.
The scenario execution unit reads a scenario file corresponding to the received information cooperation service use request from the scenario storage unit, and controls communication control processing executed by the IMS corresponding unit 110 based on the read scenario file.

The scenario execution unit executes the process only when the user authentication is successful as the authentication process by the service management control unit 150 described later.
Note that the scenario execution unit transmits, for example, authentication error information to the server when user authentication cannot be performed as authentication processing by the service management control unit 150 described later.

The service management control unit 150 includes an authentication information storage unit in which registration authentication information for authenticating the Web service providing system 21 is stored.
Further, the service management control unit 150 determines whether or not the server authentication information included in the information cooperation service use request matches the registered authentication information stored in the authentication information storage unit. Execute.

For example, the information cooperation service use request transmitted by the Web service providing system 21 includes user account information and its password, and identification information and password of the Web service providing system 21 as server authentication information. And
Further, in the service management control unit 150, the identification information and password of the Web service providing system 21 and the user account information and password are stored as registration authentication information in the internal authentication information storage unit. And

The service management control unit 150 was able to perform user authentication when the received identification information of the information cooperation service use request matches the registration authentication information stored in the authentication information storage unit included in the service management control unit 150. In other cases, it is determined that the user cannot be authenticated.
In addition to the above, the service management control unit 150 may perform processing such as charging for service usage, policy management processing, user management processing, partner management processing, and the like.

The session authentication unit 160 authenticates an information terminal used by a user connected to the Web service providing system 21. For example, the information terminal is physically connected to the communication network 10 and then connected to the Web service providing system 21 via the information network 20 by IP (Internet Protocol) or the like.
That is, the information terminal is connected to the Web service providing system 21 by physical connection in the communication network 10 and information connection in the information network 20.
The session authentication unit 160 stores physical connection information and information connection information in association with each other in an internal connection information storage unit. For example, when the information terminal connects to the Web service providing system 21, the session authentication unit 160 associates physical connection information and information connection information and writes them in the connection information storage unit.

When authenticating the user's information terminal, the session authentication unit 160 acquires and acquires information on the current physical connection and information on the information connection that the information terminal is connected to the Web service providing system 21. It is determined whether or not the physical connection information and the information connection information match the physical connection information and the information connection information stored in the connection information storage unit, respectively. In this case, a determination result that the authentication of the user information terminal is established is output, and when both do not match, a determination result that the authentication of the user information terminal is not established is output.
By the authentication processing by the session authentication unit 160, it is possible to eliminate unauthorized connection such as impersonation in the authentication of the user information terminal.

The cooperation service information creation unit 170 creates a return value for an API response as cooperation information based on the response input from the Web correspondence unit 121 via the communication network 10 and the WSDL definition statement.
The service bus 180 relays information among the Web service providing system 21, the Web corresponding unit 121, and the scenario server 190.

Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an operation flow in the API addition system. In FIG. 3, the system management terminal 30 transmits an API registration request having a WSDL definition statement including an API to the information processing apparatus 1 (step S11). The Web corresponding unit 121 of the information processing apparatus 1 registers by writing the WSDL definition statement including the API in the API function storage unit 130 (step S12).
The processes from step S11 to step S12 described above are performed in advance before providing the information cooperation service to the Web service providing system 21, and at least the basic process of the communication control process of the information cooperation service is stored in the API function storage unit 130. It is assumed that an API for performing is stored.

The Web service providing system 21 transmits a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) message including an API function based on WSDL to the information processing apparatus 1 as an information cooperation service use request (step S13). Hereinafter, an API function based on WSDL is referred to as a WSDL description sentence including the API function.
In the information processing apparatus 1, the service bus 180 relays the information cooperation service use request (step S14).
The Web corresponding unit 121 receives the information cooperation service use request including the API function via the service bus 180, and outputs the authentication information included in the information cooperation service use request to the service management control unit 150 (step S15).

  The service management control unit 150 performs user authentication processing by the above-described method based on the authentication information input from the Web corresponding unit 121. Further, the service management control unit 150 outputs a session authentication processing start command to the session authentication unit 160 and acquires a result of the session authentication processing performed by the session authentication unit 160. The session authentication unit 160 outputs the determination result as to whether or not the transmission source of the information cooperation service use request is a legitimate user and the result of the session authentication process to the Web correspondence unit 121 (step S16).

In the determination result input from the service management control unit 150, the Web corresponding unit 121 determines that the transmission source of the information cooperation service use request is a legitimate user, and the result of the session authentication process indicates that the information terminal of the user If the authentication is successful, the process is continued. If it is determined that either of the authentications is not successful, the authentication failure is output to the transmission source of the information cooperation service use request. In the following, a process when the transmission source of the information cooperation service use request is successfully authenticated will be described.
The Web corresponding unit 121 searches the API function storage unit 130 for a WSDL definition statement including an API corresponding to the API identification information included in the API function of the information cooperation service use request, and uses the searched WSDL definition statement and API function as a scenario. The data is output to the server 190 (step S17).

Based on the API and API function of the input WSDL definition statement, the scenario server 190 outputs an API execution request including the WSDL definition statement and the API function to the IMS corresponding unit 110 (step S18). The IMS corresponding unit 110 converts the protocol of the information use request based on the input API execution request, and executes the API by relaying the request to the communication node 11 of the communication network 10 (step S19).
In the communication network 10, the communication node 11 transmits a telecom information response to the information processing apparatus 1 based on the input information use request (step S20).

In the information processing apparatus 1, the IMS corresponding unit 110 performs protocol conversion on the response input from the communication node 11, and outputs the protocol converted response and the WSDL definition sentence of the API to the cooperative service information creation unit 170. The response is relayed (step S21).
The linkage service information creation unit 170 creates a return value corresponding to the WSDL definition statement of the API as linkage information based on the input protocol-converted response and the API WSDL definition statement, and the created linkage information, The source information of the information cooperation service use request is output to the Web correspondence unit 121 (step S22).

The Web correspondence unit 121 converts the input cooperation information to Web, outputs the Web-based cooperation information and destination information to the service bus 180 using the source information of the information cooperation service use request as destination information (step S23).
The service bus 180 performs relay processing by transmitting the Web-linked cooperation information input from the Web corresponding unit 121 to the Web service providing system 21 based on the destination information (Step S24).

The Web service providing system 21 receives the cooperation information via the service bus 180 (Step S25).
The processing from step S13 to step S25 described above is the basic operation processing in providing the information cooperation service. Next, basic operation processing when a new API is registered in the information processing apparatus 1 will be described.
The system management terminal 30 transmits an API registration request including a WSDL definition statement including a new API to the information processing apparatus 1 (step S26).

  In the information processing apparatus 1, the Web corresponding unit 121 searches the API function storage unit 130 based on the WSDL definition sentence of the received API registration request, and an API that matches the input new API processing is the API function storage unit 130. It is determined whether or not it is stored. Here, the Web corresponding unit 121 makes the determination that the description that matches the information describing the communication control processing function to be performed by the new API included in the WSDL definition statement is the API function storage. It is determined based on whether or not it is stored in the unit 130.

  If the Web corresponding unit 121 determines that an API that matches the new API processing is stored in the API function storage unit 130, the Web corresponding unit 121 ends the new API registration processing and enters a standby state. If the Web corresponding unit 121 determines that the API that matches the new API processing is not stored in the API function storage unit 130, the Web corresponding unit 121 continues the new API registration processing (step S27).

The Web corresponding unit 121 additionally registers a new API, that is, writes a WSDL definition statement including the new API in the API function storage unit 130 (step S28).
The Web corresponding unit 121 publishes a new API to the information network 20 (step S29).

Here, “public” means sending a WSDL definition statement registration notification including the API and the definition / argument of the content of the service of the API to the Web service providing systems 21 to 23 of the information network 20. To make it known that the new API is available.
According to the basic embodiment described above, when a new API is registered in the information processing apparatus 1, the WSDL definition sentence stored in the API function storage unit 130 is searched, and a registered API that performs the same processing is searched. There is an effect that registration is not repeated.

<First Embodiment>
Next, a method for generating a new API input in step S26 of FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present embodiment. In this figure, the same components as those in the API addition system according to the basic embodiment shown in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and different configurations will be described below.
In FIG. 4, the information processing apparatus 2 includes a Web corresponding unit 122 instead of the Web corresponding unit 121 in the information processing apparatus 1. In addition, the WSDL distribution DB 140 is connected to the Web corresponding unit 122.

  In the information processing apparatus 2, the WSDL distribution DB 140 stores an information cooperation service use request received by the information processing apparatus 1 via the service bus 180, that is, a WSDL description sentence including an API function as a distribution record.

  In addition to the processing performed by the web handling unit 121, the web handling unit 122 creates a new API and registers the created new API, that is, writes the new API in the API function storage unit 130. Further, the Web correspondence unit 122 publishes a new API to the information network 20. In addition, the Web correspondence unit 122 updates the WSDL distribution DB 140 by writing an information cooperation service use request received by the information processing apparatus 1, that is, a WSDL description sentence including an API function, into the WSDL distribution DB 140 as needed.

A method for generating a new API is as follows. The Web corresponding unit 122 reads all the distribution records from the WSDL distribution DB 140 and determines a WSDL description sentence including an API function having a high appearance frequency as a high-frequency WSDL description sentence.
The Web corresponding unit 122 extracts, as an element, a word included in an argument input to the WSDL description source including the API function having a high appearance frequency, the user name, or the API. The Web corresponding unit 122 adds the extracted element or the WSDL description sentence specifying the element to the WSDL definition sentence including the API corresponding to the API function having a high appearance frequency, and a new API specifying the new API function. Is generated.

  Note that registration of a new API may be performed by a determination operation based on an input operation by the system administrator on the system management terminal 30, or may be performed based on an API registration request from the Web correspondence unit 122. In other words, the Web corresponding unit 122 may register the generated new API registration in the API function storage unit 130 via the system management terminal 30 or register the new API by writing the new API directly in the API function storage unit 130. Also good.

Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 2 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an operation flow of API registration processing of the information processing apparatus 2. The same operations as those in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same step numbers, and different processes will be described below.

The Web service providing system 21 transmits a SOAP message including a WSDL description sentence including an API function to the information processing apparatus 1 as an information cooperation service use request (step S30).
In the information processing apparatus 1, the service bus 180 relays the information cooperation service use request (step S31). The Web corresponding unit 122 receives the information cooperation service use request including the API function via the service bus 180 (step S32). The Web corresponding unit 122 writes the received WSDL description sentence in the WSDL distribution DB 140 (step S33). The WSDL distribution DB 140 stores a WSDL description sentence (step S34).

The Web corresponding unit 122 statistically processes the data in the WSDL distribution DB 140, and extracts the API function / element having a high appearance frequency described above (step S35). The Web corresponding unit 122 generates a new API by adding the WSDL description sentence corresponding to the extracted element to the WSDL definition sentence of the API corresponding to the API function having a high appearance frequency (step S36).
Here, the API identification information for identifying the new API may be the same as the API identification information of the API corresponding to the API function having the high appearance frequency, or may be different API identification information.

  The Web corresponding unit 122 registers the new API by writing it in the API function storage unit 130 (step S37). The API function storage unit 130 is updated by storing the new API (step S38). The Web corresponding unit 122 transmits public information for publishing the new API to the information network 20 (step S39). The service bus 180 relays public information of the new API (step S40). The Web service providing system 21 of the information network 20 receives the public information (step S41).

  According to the first embodiment described above, by including in advance an element having a high appearance frequency as an API definition statement, it is possible to reduce arguments to be input when using the API, thereby reducing the user's trouble. There is an effect that can be omitted.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, a method for generating a new API input in step S26 of FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the drawing, which is different from the first embodiment. FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present embodiment.

In FIG. 6, the information processing apparatus 3 includes a Web corresponding unit 123 instead of the Web corresponding unit 122 in the information processing apparatus 2 of FIG. 4.

  The Web corresponding unit 123 is different from the Web corresponding unit 122 in processing for generating a new API. The Web corresponding unit 123 uses an API function having a high appearance frequency, an element extracted as an element, or a WSDL description sentence specifying the element as a WSDL definition sentence including an API corresponding to an API function having a high appearance frequency. A new API designating a new API function is generated.

Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 3 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an operation flow of API registration processing of the information processing apparatus 3. Further, the same operations as those in FIG. 5 are denoted by the same step numbers, and different processes will be described below.

  When the Web function unit 123 extracts an API function / element having a high appearance frequency in step S35, the Web corresponding unit 123 rewrites the WSDL description sentence corresponding to the extracted element as a WSDL definition sentence of an API corresponding to the API function having a high appearance frequency. Thus, a new API is generated (step S50).

  According to the above-described embodiment, by rewriting the WSDL description sentence of the element having the high appearance frequency as the WSDL definition sentence without adding to the existing WSDL definition sentence of the API corresponding to the API function having the high appearance frequency, There is an effect of reducing that the WSDL definition statement including the API becomes excessive.

Thesaurus information is information that classifies words (words, words) used in search and arranges words and their synonyms, related words, broad words, narrow words according to the field and content. The information becomes thesaurus information stored in the thesaurus DB 50. By using thesaurus information, words that do not exactly match the searched word can also be searched. Search for words that have the same meaning, such as “Japanese yen”, “JPY”, or “Japanese Yen”. Will be able to.

  The Web corresponding unit 124 is different from the Web corresponding unit 122 in the process of generating a new API. The Web corresponding unit 124 searches the thesaurus DB 50 for an API function having a high appearance frequency and an element that is semantically close to the element extracted as an element, and specifies the semantically close element or the semantically close element. A new API for designating a new API function is generated by using the WSDL description sentence as a WSDL definition sentence including an API corresponding to an API function having a high appearance frequency.

In FIG. 10, the information processing apparatus 5 includes a Web corresponding unit 125 instead of the Web corresponding unit 122 in the information processing apparatus 2 of FIG. 4. The service bus 180 is connected to the ontology DB 51.

  The ontology DB 51 stores ontology information described in an ontology language such as OWL-S (Web Ontology Language for Services). Ontology information includes inclusive relations (higher / lower conceptual relations or hierarchical relations) between words, synonymous (equivalent) relations, relations between words such as similarity relations, that is, relations (relationships) between words. Is described. The ontology information may be dictionary information created by manually classifying as long as the relationship between words is described, or may be dictionary information created by analyzing a dictionary or a dictionary. The ontology is also called an ontology system, and is a vision in the semantic web service and service composition technology, and is built along with these two technologies.

  The Web corresponding unit 125 is different from the Web corresponding unit 122 in the process of generating a new API. The Web corresponding unit 125 searches the ontology DB 51 for an API function having a high appearance frequency and an element that is semantically close to the element extracted as an element, and specifies the semantically close element or the semantically close element. A new API for designating a new API function is generated by using the WSDL description sentence as a WSDL definition sentence including an API corresponding to an API function having a high appearance frequency.

Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 5 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an operation flow of API registration processing of the information processing apparatus 5. Further, the same operations as those in FIG. 5 are denoted by the same step numbers, and different processes will be described below.

When performing the process of step S35, the Web corresponding unit 125 outputs a request for using the ontology DB 51 to the ontology DB 51 via the service bus 180 (step S71). The service bus 180 relays the usage request for the ontology DB 51 (step S72), and the ontology DB 51 becomes available based on the usage request (step S73).

  The Web corresponding unit 125 searches the ontology DB 51 for an element that is synonymous or semantically close to the API function / element having a high appearance frequency extracted in step S35. The Web correspondence unit 125 converts the searched synonym or semantically close element or the WSDL description sentence specifying the semantically close element as a WSDL definition sentence including an API corresponding to an API function having a high appearance frequency. A new API designating a new API function is generated (step S74).

According to the above-described embodiment, by using the ontology DB 51, it is possible to extract frequently occurring elements in the WSDL distribution DB 140 including those having the same meaning on the ontology information. It becomes possible to generate a new API representing a plurality of APIs.
In the embodiment described above, an element that is semantically close to a frequent element is searched from the ontology DB 51. However, an anonymity element, a higher element, and a lower element may be searched. As a result, in the information processing apparatus 5, the range of new APIs to be generated is expanded.

  The WSDL description DB 52 is a WSDL definition statement including an API stored in the API function storage unit 130, and does not include an API, that is, an API identification information and an API corresponding to the API identification information. In addition, this is a database that associates and stores information including a definition statement describing the format of an argument in the case of using an API in WSDL.

  The difference between the Web corresponding unit 126 and the Web corresponding unit 122 is processing for generating a new API. The Web corresponding unit 126 searches the WSDL description DB 52 for an API function having a high appearance frequency and an element close to the element extracted as the element, and displays the searched element or a WSDL description statement that specifies the searched element. A new API designating a new API function is generated as a WSDL definition statement including an API corresponding to a high-frequency API function.

When performing the process of step S35, the Web corresponding unit 126 outputs a request for using the WSDL description DB 52 to the WSDL description DB 52 via the service bus 180 (step S81). The service bus 180 relays the usage request for the WSDL description DB 52 (step S82), and the WSDL description DB 52 becomes available based on the usage request (step S83).

The Web correspondence unit 126 searches the WSDL description DB 52 for an element close to the API function / element having a high appearance frequency extracted in step S35. The Web corresponding unit 126 sets the searched element or the WSDL description sentence that specifies the searched element as a WSDL definition sentence that includes an API corresponding to an API function having a high appearance frequency, and a new API that specifies a new API function. Is generated (step S84).
Here, an element close to an API function / element having a high appearance frequency is, for example, an element whose meaning approximates or includes an element, and is synonymous by, for example, searching a thesaurus database. Alternatively, a similar element is extracted, and the API identification information included in a part of the API identification information whose synonymous or similar element is the API name is retrieved from the WSDL description DB 52.

According to this embodiment described above, by using the WSDL description DB 52, it is possible to extract frequently occurring elements from the already registered API in the WSDL distribution DB 140, and to generate a new API. It becomes.
In addition, the Web correspondence unit 126 may generate an API using a WSDL description statement that designates one of the WSDL description statements retrieved from the WSDL description DB 52. An API may be generated using a WSDL description sentence that includes a plurality of WSDL description sentences including the search results.
