Description

  The present invention relates to a service providing system, a service providing method, and a service providing program.

  Conventionally, as a service provided to a terminal connected to a network controlled by IP (Internet Protocol), there is a so-called Web service. Here, the Web service generally refers to a service that realizes application functions via a network by applying WWW (World Wide Web) related technology. For example, a terminal connected to the Internet receives IM (Instant Messaging) service, which is one of Web services, and realizes chat and image data sharing with other terminals connected to the Internet.

  When the IM service is simply illustrated using FIG. 13, each terminal first installs a dedicated application corresponding to the IM service in the terminal when receiving the provision of the IM service. Further, the service providing apparatus registers the member ID of the member who uses each terminal in the member list. Furthermore, each terminal exchanges a member ID with a terminal used by another member who wants to realize chat and sharing of image data, and registers it in a buddy list (friend list) of the dedicated application. For example, when the terminal used by member A registers member B in the buddy list, a confirmation as to whether or not to permit the registration is transmitted from the service providing apparatus to the terminal used by member B, and member B uses it. The terminal that permits the registration and registers member A in the buddy list. Then, based on the buddy relationship between the member A and the member B, the service providing apparatus provides a service so as to realize chat and image data sharing between the terminal used by the member A and the terminal used by the member B. Control.

  Further, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique that eliminates the need for member registration when using a new service by unifying member (community) management. Further, for example, Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for sharing an application using a general browser.

  By the way, in the conventional technology described above, as described below, when the relationship with the communication partner is temporary (in the case of a relationship that changes to ad hoc), a service is provided based on such a temporary communication relationship. There was a problem that it could not be controlled.

  That is, first, the following three points can be cited as problems of the conventional IM service. The first point is related to a dedicated application. In a general IM service, a mechanism for using a service between different applications is not considered. Therefore, in order to receive a service between users, the same type of dedicated application must be installed on both sides. The second point is related to buddy list management. As mentioned above, buddy list registration is required to receive IM services, but buddy lists are managed for each application, so buddy list registration is required again when using other applications. This is troublesome for the user. The third point is a temporary relationship issue. For example, even if you want to receive a service when the relationship between users is temporary (such as a relationship that changes to ad hoc), such as when you want to share a file with other users temporarily, the service is only available via a buddy list. The conventional IM service that cannot receive the service cannot respond.

  In this regard, even with the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, at least the first and third problems are still not solved. Further, even the technique disclosed in Patent Document 2 still does not solve the problems of the second and third points. After all, at least the third problem cannot be solved by any of the conventional techniques described above.

  Exemplary embodiments of a service providing system, a service providing method, and a service providing program according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following, the main terms used in the embodiments, the prerequisite technology of the service providing system according to the present invention, the features of the service providing system according to the first embodiment, the configuration of the service providing system according to the first embodiment, and the first embodiment The processing procedure by the service providing system and the effects of the first embodiment will be described in order, and then the other embodiments will be described.

[Explanation of terms]
First, main terms used in the following examples will be described. A “service” is a so-called Web service (a service that realizes an application function via a network by applying a WWW-related technology). In a network controlled by IP such as the Internet, a “service providing apparatus” controls a service, and a “terminal” connected to the network is provided with a “service”.

  By the way, the “service providing device” controls the service based on the relationship between each terminal, the relationship between the terminal and the service providing device, or the relationship between users who use the terminal. For example, in the IM service, it is assumed that a user who uses the terminal A and a user who uses the terminal B realize file sharing in the IM service. It is assumed that terminal A has uploaded a file to “service providing apparatus” while terminal B is accessing “service providing apparatus”. In such a case, the “service providing apparatus” transmits a file to the terminal B based on the relationship between the user of the terminal A and the user of the terminal B. That is, the “service providing apparatus” receives, for example, an input of a user ID and a password from a user of the terminal A, and an input of a user ID and a password from a user of the terminal B, so that the user of the terminal A And the user of terminal B are identified. Then, if the relationship between the identified user of the terminal A and the user of the terminal B recognizes that file sharing is mutually accepted, the “service providing apparatus” sends a file to the terminal B based on the relationship. Control the service to send.

  In addition, for example, in SNS (Social Networking Service), it is assumed that the user of the terminal A who is the site operator causes the user of the terminal B to browse the site. In such a case, the “service providing apparatus” controls browsing of the site by the user of the terminal B based on the relationship between the user of the terminal A and the user of the terminal B. In other words, the “service providing apparatus” is a relationship in which the user of the specified terminal A and the user of the specified terminal B are permitted to browse the site by the user of the terminal A by the user of the terminal B. If so, the service is controlled so as to permit browsing of the site by the user of the terminal B based on the relationship.

  Further, for example, it is assumed that a “service providing apparatus” that provides music information permits a user of terminal A to download music information. In such a case, the “service providing apparatus” controls the download communication by the terminal A based on the relationship between the user of the terminal A and the “service providing apparatus”. That is, the “service providing device” is a relationship between the identified user of the terminal A and the “service providing device” if the download communication by the user of the terminal A is permitted by the “service providing device”. Based on the relationship, the service provision is controlled so as to permit the download communication by the terminal A.

  As described above, the relationship between each terminal, the relationship between the terminal and the service providing device, or the relationship between users using the terminal has various aspects depending on the service content. The “device” still controls services based on these relationships.

  However, the conventional Web service has been provided on the assumption that such a relationship is registered in advance. For example, a conventional “service providing apparatus” registers a relationship between users in a buddy list in advance, and controls services such as chat and image data sharing based on the registered buddy list. On the other hand, the “service providing apparatus” in the present invention is not only a relationship such as a pre-registered buddy list, but also when the relationship with the communication partner is temporary (a relationship that changes to ad hoc). Based on such temporary communication relationship, services such as chat and image data sharing are controlled.

[Prerequisite technology of the service providing system according to the present invention]
Next, the prerequisite technology of the service providing system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a prerequisite technology of a service providing system according to the present invention. The service providing system of the base technology illustrated in FIG. 1 is summarized in that a service providing apparatus that provides a service on a network to a plurality of terminals connected to the network controls the service, and the terminal side configuration is SIP ( Session Initiation Protocol) The service providing apparatus is configured in such a way that the service providing apparatus can be used even when the relationship with the communication partner is temporary, such as a communication partner with which communication is established by SIP, in a configuration in which the phone and the information display terminal are separated. Service provision based on a temporary communication relationship is realized. Here, the SIP phone is a terminal that establishes communication by SIP (note that communication using the established session is also performed), and the information display terminal is a terminal that performs HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) communication. That is.

  Briefly describing the base technology, first, in the service providing system of the base technology, an HGW is installed in the network on the terminal side. In FIG. 1, the connection relationship between the HGW, the SIP phone, and the information display terminal is not clearly shown. However, the SIP phone and the information display terminal are connected under the HGW, and the HGW is based on the SIP phone. It is a device that controls both SIP communication and HTTP communication by an information display terminal. That is, both SIP communication using a SIP phone and HTTP communication using an information display terminal are connected to a network via an HGW. In the following, the process of establishing a session by SIP is appropriately expressed as “SIP communication” (that is, “SIP communication” is communication of the session itself established by SIP, for example, a voice path between end users, It does not mean VPN (Virtual Private Network).

  Although not explicitly shown in FIG. 1, the information display terminal in the base technology uses browser session information stored in advance in the HGW. That is, the HGW stores in advance a correspondence between a SIP phone, an information display terminal used in combination with the SIP phone, and browser session information of the information display terminal. Here, the browser session information is information used for specifying a predetermined information display terminal from among a plurality of information display terminals.

  Under such a configuration, first, communication is established between the SIP phone and the SIP phone by SIP (see (1) in FIG. 1).

  Next, the information display terminal used in combination with the SIP phone transmits a use request for requesting use of the service to the service providing apparatus (see (2) in FIG. 1). Then, the service providing apparatus acquires call session information that uniquely identifies communication established by SIP between SIP phones (see (3) in FIG. 1). For example, the service providing apparatus acquires call session information “100”.

  At this time, the HGW collects call session information from information included in the SIP communication, and transmits the collected call session information to an information display terminal (an information display terminal used in combination with a SIP phone that has established SIP communication). . Then, the information display terminal transfers the call session information transmitted from the HGW to the service providing apparatus. Thus, the service providing apparatus acquires call session information.

  Here, when transmitting the call session information collected by the HGW to the information display terminal, the HGW uses the association of the SIP phone, the information display terminal, and the browser session information. Specifically, the HGW collects call session information from information included in the SIP communication, and also collects information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone that has established the SIP communication. Next, the HGW specifies the information display terminal used in combination with the SIP phone and the browser session information of the information display terminal from the correspondence stored in advance. Then, the HGW identifies an information display terminal to which call session information is to be transmitted using the browser session information as a key, from among a plurality of information display terminals that are polling the HGW together with the browser session information. Send information. Thereafter, the information display terminal transfers the call session information transmitted from the HGW to the service providing apparatus.

  Then, the service providing apparatus uses the call session information acquired for the SIP phone used in combination with the information display terminal, the Web session information given to the Web communication performed by the information display terminal with the service providing apparatus, The information is stored in the storage unit (see (4) in FIG. 1). Specifically, the service providing apparatus pays out Web session information, and stores the paid-out Web session information in the storage unit in association with call session information.

  Subsequently, when the service providing apparatus indicates that each of the predetermined call session information among the plurality of call session information stored in the storage unit is established as the same communication by SIP, Services provided by using each Web session information stored in the storage unit in association with each call session information are controlled in association with each other (see (5) in FIG. 1). For example, it is assumed that the service providing apparatus has a relationship in which the Web communication with the Web session information “123” and the Web communication with the Web session information “456” are established as the same communication by SIP. Control them in relation to each other.

  That is, as illustrated in FIG. 1, when the other information display terminal is accessing the service providing apparatus through Web communication to which the Web session information “456” is assigned, It is assumed that image data is uploaded to the service providing apparatus through Web communication to which the information “123” is assigned. In such a case, the service providing apparatus of the base technology regards the relationship between the information display terminals as a relationship in which the same communication is established by SIP, and this relationship is a relationship in which image data sharing is mutually recognized. If so, the service is controlled so as to transmit the image data to the other information display terminal.

[Problems of service provision system for prerequisite technology]
By the way, in the service providing system of the base technology described above, the HGW performs information transmission between the SIP phone and the information display terminal, and specifies the information display terminal to be provided by the browser session information. Playing a role. However, some information display terminals display information under the HGW, such as mobile information display terminals (PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) etc.) connected to different networks such as PHS (Personal Handy-phone System) network. Some information display terminals are not connected as terminals. For such an information display terminal, the HGW of the base technology cannot perform the information transmission between the SIP phone and the information display terminal, and the information display terminal to be provided with the service is determined by the browser session information. It cannot be specified.

  Even if an information display terminal connected to an external network can be connected to the HGW (not connected as an information display terminal under the HGW, it can be connected Even if a user who uses an information display terminal investigates a local URL (Uniform Resource Locator) called HGW and inputs an IP address or the like, it is IT (Information Technology) For users with low literacy, it must be said that this is an operation with a high threshold. In addition, there may be an environment in which the HGW is configured not to allow any connection from an information display terminal connected to an external network from the viewpoint of security. In this case, the information display terminal cannot receive service provision based on a temporary communication relationship.

  Therefore, in the following, the terminal-side configuration is configured with a SIP phone and an information display terminal, and the SIP phone can access the HGW, but the information display terminal has difficulty in accessing the HGW. In a case where the relationship with the communication partner is temporary (for example, in an environment where a SIP phone and an information display terminal use different networks), the service providing apparatus has such a temporary communication relationship. This paper proposes a service provision system that can realize service provision based on this.

[Features of Service Providing System According to Embodiment 1]
First, the features of the service providing system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the characteristics of the service providing system according to the first embodiment.

  As described above, in the service providing system according to the first embodiment, how information transmission between the SIP phone and the information display terminal (information display terminal not connected as an information display terminal under the HGW) is performed. It is also important how the information display terminal that is the target of service provision is specified. In other words, “call session information and Web session information (the Web session information of the information display terminal used in combination with the SIP phone that established communication uniquely identified by the call session information by SIP) ) Is important. Here, referring again to FIG. 1, it is understood that the service providing apparatus must store the Web session information in association with the call session information in order to realize the service provision based on the temporary communication relationship. Therefore, hereinafter, a mechanism in which the service providing apparatus stores Web session information in association with call session information will be described.

  In the service providing system according to the first embodiment, first, the information display terminal registers in advance the information that uniquely identifies the SIP phone used in combination with the information display terminal in the association device ((1 in FIG. 2). )). In the first embodiment, the information that uniquely identifies the SIP phone is information that combines the SIP phone ID and the SIP-URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) of the HGW. In the first embodiment, since a configuration is assumed in which a plurality of SIP phones are connected under the HGW, the SIP phone URI of the HGW is not sufficient as information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone. Corresponding SIP phone IDs must be combined. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 (1), the associating device registers in advance from the information display terminal a combination of the SIP phone ID “111111” and the HGW SIP-URI “042259XXXX@example.co.jp”. I remember it.

  Further, “information for uniquely identifying a SIP phone” will be described further. Since the HGW can uniquely identify a SIP phone only by a SIP phone ID (for example, an extension number of a SIP phone), For the HGW, “SIP phone ID” is sufficient as “information for uniquely identifying a SIP phone”. On the other hand, as will be described later, the service providing device and the associating device cannot uniquely identify the SIP phone only by the SIP phone ID in the case where a plurality of SIP phones are connected under the HGW. For this reason, the “information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone” for the service providing device and the associating device needs to be a combination of “SIP phone ID” and “HGW's SIP-URI”. is there.

  In the following first embodiment, a method in which the associating device stores information by uniquely registering information that uniquely identifies a SIP phone from an information display terminal will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is not something that can be done. For example, when a user receives provision of a service using an information display terminal, the user logs in to the association apparatus by inputting an ID or password, and the association apparatus is connected to the SIP phone from the information display terminal at this timing. May be received and stored at this time.

  Further, the associating device stores information for uniquely identifying an information display terminal used in combination with the SIP phone in association with information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone ((2) in FIG. 2). See). In the first embodiment, the information for uniquely identifying the information display terminal is browser session information. For example, as shown in (2) of FIG. 2, the associating device associates the browser session information with the combination of the SIP phone ID “111111” and the SIP-URI “042259XXXX@example.co.jp” of the HGW. "1001" is memorized.

  In Example 1 below, when a user receives provision of a service using an information display terminal, when the user logs in to the associating device by entering an ID or password, the associating device A method for paying out browser session information at timing, reading information for uniquely identifying a pre-registered SIP phone, and associating the two will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this. . For example, the associating device may store information that uniquely identifies the information display terminal by being registered in advance from the information display terminal.

  In the service providing system according to the first embodiment, on the premise that such association processing is performed (or performed in parallel) in the association device, SIP is performed between the SIP phone and the SIP phone. When the communication is established, the HGW in the first embodiment (in FIG. 2, the HGW is omitted and only the SIP phone is shown), and call session information that uniquely identifies the communication established by the SIP. And information uniquely identifying the SIP phone are collected and transmitted to the service providing apparatus (see (3) in FIG. 2). For example, call session information “100”, information combining the SIP phone ID “111111” and the HGW's SIP-URI “042259XXXX@example.co.jp” are transmitted to the service providing apparatus.

  Then, when the service providing apparatus acquires the call session information and information that uniquely identifies the SIP phone, the service providing apparatus notifies the association apparatus of the call session information and information that uniquely identifies the SIP phone (FIG. 2). (See (4)). For example, the service providing apparatus transmits call session information “100” and information combining the SIP phone ID “111111” and the SIP-URI “042259XXXX@example.co.jp” of the HGW to the association apparatus. .

  On the other hand, when the association device receives the call session information and the information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone from the service providing device, the association device searches the storage unit using the information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone as a search key. The received call session information is transmitted to the information display terminal identified by (see (5) in FIG. 2). For example, the associating device receives call session information “100” and information combining the SIP phone ID “111111” and the SIP-URI “042259XXXX@example.co.jp” of the HGW from the service providing device. The storage unit is searched using the combination of the SIP phone ID “111111” and the SIP-URI “042259XXXX@example.co.jp” of the HGW as a search key, and polling is performed using the searched browser session information “1001”. The received call session information “100” is transmitted to the information display terminal to be performed.

  Then, when the information display terminal transmits a use request requesting to use the service to the service providing apparatus, the service providing apparatus transmits the call session information received from the association apparatus. Obtain (see (6) in FIG. 2). For example, the service providing apparatus acquires call session information “100”.

  Then, the service providing apparatus pays out information that uniquely identifies Web communication performed when the information display terminal uses the service with the service providing apparatus to the information display terminal and associates the information with the acquired call session information. Store in the storage unit (see (7) and (8) in FIG. 2). For example, the service providing apparatus pays out Web session information “123” and stores it in the storage unit in association with the acquired call session information “100”.

  By performing such processing, in the service providing system according to the first embodiment, even for an information display terminal that is not connected as an information display terminal under the HGW, the service providing apparatus converts Web session information into call session information. Since the data can be stored in association with each other, it is possible to realize service provision based on a temporary communication relationship as in the case of the service providing apparatus of the base technology. That is, information transmission between the SIP phone and the information display terminal is performed via the association device, and the information display terminal that is the target of service provision is also identified by the association device.

These are the block diagrams which show the structure (information display terminal under HGW) of the terminal side of the service provision system which concerns on Example 1, FIG. 9: is a figure for demonstrating a browser session information storage part.

  The service providing system according to the first embodiment assumes a configuration in which the information display terminal is not connected to the HGW as the configuration on one terminal side, and the information display terminal is under the HGW as the configuration on the other terminal side. It is assumed that the configuration is the same as the base technology. Therefore, in the following, a terminal-side configuration (hereinafter referred to as side A) in which the information display terminal is not connected under the HGW will be described, and then the configuration of the associating device and the configuration of the service providing device Are described in order, and finally, a terminal-side configuration (hereinafter, referred to as side B) in which the information display terminal is connected under the HGW will be described.

[HGW400 (Side A)]
The HGW 400 shown in FIG. 3 connects only the SIP phone 300 under the control, and does not connect the information display terminal 310 under the control. The HGW 400 is realized by providing each unit described below in a general-purpose gateway device or the like. In particular, as shown in FIG. 3, the SIP communication unit / HTTP communication unit 410 is closely related to the present invention. And a control unit 430.

  The SIP communication unit / HTTP communication unit 410 includes general interfaces and libraries for SIP and HTTP communication, communication between the SIP phone 300 and the SIP PROXY 500, communication between the HGW 400 and the service providing apparatus 100. To control.

  The control unit 430 performs various controls in the HGW 400, and particularly as closely related to the present invention, as shown in FIG. Part 433.

  The call session information collection unit 431 collects call session information. Specifically, the call session information collection unit 431 includes call session information that uniquely identifies communication established by SIP between the subordinate SIP phone 300 and the other SIP phone 350 as information included in the SIP communication. Collect from. Further, the call session information collection unit 431 transmits the collected call session information to the association request unit 433.

  Here, call session information and Web session information will be described. Originally, the session information is information that uniquely identifies communication in the fifth layer, which is called OSI (Open Systems Interconnection). That is, in the service providing system according to the first embodiment, it is assumed that SIP communication and Web communication (HTTP communication) are performed as communication, but both SIP communication and Web communication are TCP (Transmission Control). Protocol) communication cannot be identified in the fourth layer. For this reason, by adding session information to communication established between SIP phones or between information display terminals, it is identified whether the communication is SIP communication or Web communication. That is, call session information is session information indicating SIP communication, and Web session information is session information indicating Web communication.

  In addition, the session information not only identifies SIP communication and Web communication, but communication established between SIP phones or information display terminals is established between other SIP phones or information display terminals. It also identifies that the communication is different. In other words, call session information is information that uniquely identifies SIP communication established by SIP between SIP phones, and Web session information is information that uniquely identifies Web communication established between information display terminals. It is information to identify. As call session information, “Call-ID”, which is information included in SIP communication, or “From”, “To”, “tag”, or a method using a combination thereof, or other information included in SIP communication Any method may be used as long as the method uses information that can uniquely identify communication established by SIP. On the other hand, as the Web session information, a method using a “session ID” (such as a cookie ID) that is information given to a browser used when the information display terminal performs Web communication can be considered. These call session information and Web session information are generally generated uniquely for each established session, and do not compete with each other in the range of normal application usage.

  The SIP phone ID collection unit 432 collects the SIP phone ID. Specifically, the SIP phone ID collection unit 432 collects the SIP phone ID, which is information for uniquely identifying the subordinate SIP phone 300, from information included in the SIP communication. Also, the SIP phone ID collection unit 432 transmits the collected SIP phone ID to the association request unit 433.

  Here, the SIP phone ID is, for example, an extension number of the SIP phone. In the case where a plurality of SIP phones are connected under the HGW, the SIP-URI is assigned to the HGW, and an extension number is assigned to each SIP phone under the HGW. That is, when a SIP phone under the HGW is designated as a communication partner, a combination of the HGW's SIP-URI and extension number must be designated.

  The association request unit 433 associates the call session information with the information display terminal 310 (the information display terminal 310 used in combination with the SIP phone 300 in which communication uniquely identified by the call session information is established by SIP). The service providing apparatus 100 is requested. Specifically, the association request unit 433 includes the call session information collected by the call session information collection unit 431, the SIP phone ID collected by the SIP phone ID collection unit 432, and the SIP-URI of the HGW 400.

Session information is stored in association with call session information. The session information stored in the session information storage unit 121 is used for processing by the association unit 134 described later.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the session information storage unit 121 stores a correspondence between call session information and Web session information. That is, when call session information “100” is received from one HGW 400 by a call session information receiving unit 131, which will be described later, the session information storage unit 121, as shown in FIG. Is memorized. Next, when the Web session information “123” is paid out by the Web session information paying unit 133 described later, the session information storage unit 121 uses the Web session information “123” as the call session as shown in FIG. It is stored in association with information “100”. The session information storage unit 121 also stores the Web session information “456” in association with the call session information “100” for the other information display terminal 360 as shown in FIG. Thereafter, when association is performed by a service providing unit 135 described later, the session information storage unit 121 stores the association as illustrated in FIG.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the control unit 130 performs various controls in the service providing apparatus 100, and particularly as closely related to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. An equal notification unit 132, a Web session information payout unit 133, an association unit 134, and a service providing unit 135 are provided.

  The call session information receiving unit 131 receives call session information and the like. Specifically, the call session information receiving unit 131 receives information uniquely identifying the SIP phone 300 and call session information from the HGW 400 (side A), or the information display terminal 310 (side A). May receive call session information, or may receive call session information from the information display terminal 360 (side B). In this way, call session information is transmitted to the SIP phone 300 (side A) or Acquired for each of the SIP phones 350 (side B). When the call session information receiving unit 131 receives the information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone 300 and the call session information from the HGW 400, the call session information receiving unit 131 transmits the information to the call session information etc. notification unit 132, and the information display terminal When call session information is received from 310 (side A) or the information display terminal 360 (side B), the received call session information is stored in the session information storage unit 121.

  The call session information etc. notification unit 132 notifies the association apparatus 200 of the call session information and the information that uniquely identifies the SIP phone 300. Specifically, when the call session information receiving unit 131 receives call session information and information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone 300 from the HGW 400 (side A), the call session information notification unit 132 receives these information. Is transmitted to the associating device 200.

  The web session information payout unit 133 pays out web session information. Specifically, when the call session information receiving unit 131 receives call session information from the information display terminal 310 (side A) or the information display terminal 360 (side B) by the call session information receiving unit 131, the information display As information to be given to Web communication performed by the terminal 310 or the information display terminal 360 (Web communication performed by the information display terminal 310 or the information display terminal 360 with the service providing apparatus 100 in order to receive service provision), Web session information is used. Pay out. Further, the web session information payout unit 133 transmits the paid out web session information to the information display terminal 310 and the information display terminal 360.

  The associating unit 134 stores the Web session information in association with the call session information. Specifically, the associating unit 134 stores the Web session information paid out by the Web session information paying unit 133 in the session information storage unit 121 in association with the call session information acquired by the call session information receiving unit 131. To do.

  The service providing unit 135 controls services. Specifically, the service providing unit 135 controls the services provided using each of the Web session information stored in the session information storage unit 121 in association with each other.

  For example, as shown in (D) of FIG. 7, the service providing unit 135 includes two pieces of call session information “100” among the plurality of call session information stored in the session information storage unit 121 by SIP. It is determined that the communication is established as the same communication. Then, the service providing unit 135 performs the Web communication to which the Web session information “123” stored in association with the call session information “100” is assigned and the Web communication to which the Web session information “456” is assigned. The services provided and used are controlled in association with each other.

  In other words, for example, when the other information display terminal 310 is accessing the service providing apparatus 100 by Web communication to which the Web session information “123” is assigned, the one information display terminal 360 receives the Web session information “456”. ”Is uploaded to the service providing apparatus 100 through Web communication. In such a case, since the relationship between the information display terminal 310 and the information display terminal 360 is regarded as a relationship in which the same communication is established by SIP, this relationship is a relationship in which image data sharing is mutually recognized. As it is, the service providing unit 135 according to the first embodiment controls the service to transmit image data to the other information display terminal 310.

  Here, the service provision by the service providing apparatus 100 is considered again. That is, the service providing apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment is similar to the conventional service providing apparatus in that service provision by the service providing apparatus 100 is controlled based on the relationship between the information display terminal 310 and the information display terminal 360. It is important how 100 knows “the relationship between the information display terminal 310 and the information display terminal 360”.

  That is, the service providing apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment does not grasp the relationship registered in the storage unit in advance as the “relation between the information display terminal 310 and the information display terminal 360”, unlike the conventional service providing apparatus. When the service providing unit 135 indicates that each call session information is the same communication established by SIP, the service providing unit 135 grasps “relation between the information display terminal 310 and the information display terminal 360”. In other words, the service providing apparatus 100 also performs such temporary processing even when the relationship with the terminal as the communication partner is temporary, such as the relationship between the SIP phone 300 and the SIP phone 350 that have established the same communication by SIP. Based on the various communication relationships, the Web communication performed in each of the information display terminal 310 and the information display terminal 360 is associated with each other, thereby providing a service associated with the temporary communication relationship.

  When the first communication is communication in the process of establishing communication by SIP as in the first embodiment, the “relationship between the information display terminal 310 and the information display terminal 360” is the relationship that has been authenticated by SIP. It is also meaningful in that it is. That is, in SIP communication, Digest (digest) authentication or the like is generally performed, and the fact that communication is established between terminals by SIP indicates that the relationship between the terminals has been authenticated.

[Procedure of processing by the service providing system according to the first embodiment]
Next, a processing procedure performed by the service providing system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram illustrating a procedure of pre-processing by the service providing system according to the first embodiment, and FIGS. 11 and 12 are sequence diagrams illustrating a procedure of processing by the service providing system according to the first embodiment. 10, in the service providing system according to the first embodiment, the configuration on the left terminal side is a configuration in which the information display terminal 310 is not connected under the HGW 400 (side A). is there. On the other hand, the configuration on the right terminal side is a configuration in which the information display terminal 360 is connected under the HGW 450 (side B).

[Pre-processing procedure]
First, the SIP phone identification information registration unit 331 of the information display terminal 310 logs in the association apparatus 200 by transmitting the ID or password input by the user to the association apparatus 200, and the information display terminal 310 Information that uniquely identifies the SIP phone 300 used in combination is transmitted to the associating device 200 (step S101). Here, the information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone 300 is information in which the SIP phone ID and the SIP-URI of the HGW 400 are combined.

  Then, the SIP phone identification information registration request receiving unit 231 of the associating device 200 receives information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone 300, and the associating storage unit 221 stores the information (step S102).

[Processing procedure]
As shown in FIG. 11, first, SIP communication in steps S201-1 to S203-4 is performed between the SIP phone 300 and the SIP phone 350 via the SIP PROXY 500. As a result, in step S204, the SIP communication is performed. Communication is established between the phone 300 and the SIP phone 350 by SIP. Note that Digest authentication, REGISTER authentication, and the like in SIP communication are not shown, but are performed prior to Step S201-1 as in general SIP communication.

  When SIP communication is established between the SIP phone 300 and the SIP phone 350, as shown in FIG. 12, the call session information collection unit 431 of one HGW 400 (side A) is connected to the subordinate SIP phone 300 and the other SIP phone 300. Call session information that uniquely identifies communication established with the SIP phone 350 by SIP is collected from information included in the SIP communication (step S205), and is transmitted to the association request unit 433 in step S207.

  Next, the SIP phone ID collection unit 432 of the HGW 400 collects the SIP phone ID, which is information for uniquely identifying the subordinate SIP phone 300, from information included in the SIP communication (step S206), and the association request unit 433. (Step S207).

  Subsequently, the association request unit 433 of the HGW 400 transmits the call session information and the SIP phone ID transmitted in Step S207 and the SIP-URI of the HGW to the service providing apparatus 100 (Step S208). The association request unit 433 may transmit the URL of the association device 200 to the service providing device 100 in addition to the information described above. In this case, the service providing apparatus 100 can access the associating apparatus 200 using the URL transmitted from the associating request unit 433.

  By the way, in Example 1, as shown in step S209, when the SIP phone identification information registration unit 331 of the information display terminal 310 uses the information display terminal 310, the ID input by the user or When the password is transmitted to the associating device 200 (the user logs in to the associating device 200 through this transmission), the browser session information paying unit 232 of the associating device 200 issues the browser session information (step S210). The issued browser session information is transmitted to the SIP phone identification information registration unit 331 (step S211). Then, the SIP phone identification information registration unit 331 stores the received browser session information in the browser session information storage unit 321 (step S212). The processes in steps S209 to S212 may be performed after communication is established between the SIP phone 300 and the SIP phone 350 by SIP, and information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone 300 is registered. It may be done in advance as well as (see FIG. 10). In the first embodiment, the processes in steps S209 to S212 are completed before the call session information notification process (step S213) described later (step S225). A procedure in which Web session information payout processing and the like are sequentially performed will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the present invention can be applied in the same manner even when the processes of steps S209 to S212 are performed after step S213 (this will be described later).

  On the other hand, the call session information receiving unit 131 of the service providing apparatus 100 stores the call session information received in step S208 in the session information storage unit 121, and the call session information etc. notifying unit 132 includes the call session information and the SIP phone 300. Is associated with the information for uniquely identifying the association apparatus 200 (step S213).

  Then, when the call session information notification receiving unit 233 of the association apparatus 200 receives the call session information transmitted by the service providing apparatus 100 and information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone 300, the received information is used as a search key. The association storage unit 221 is searched to confirm whether the browser session information is stored in association with the information for uniquely identifying the searched SIP phone 300 (whether the browser session information has already been paid out).

  When the call session information notification receiving unit 233 confirms that the information uniquely identifying the SIP phone 300 is stored, but the browser session information is not stored, the information display terminal 310 has not yet stored the information. Since the association device 200 is not accessed, the service providing device 100 is responded that the call session information cannot be associated with the information display terminal 310 at the present time. Further, even when the call session information notification receiving unit 233 confirms that even the information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone 300 is not stored, the call session information and the information display terminal 310 are currently associated with each other. It responds to the service providing apparatus 100 that it cannot. When the call session information notification receiving unit 233 confirms that the correspondence between the information uniquely identifying the SIP phone 300 and the browser session information is stored, the call session information and the information display terminal 310 It responds to the service providing apparatus 100 that it can be matched.

  When receiving a response from the associating device 200 that the call session information and the information display terminal 310 can be associated with each other, the notifying unit 132 of the service providing device 100 transmits an association completion response to the HGW 400 ( Step S214).

  On the other hand, the access destination change instructing unit 234 of the associating device 200 is given browser session information (browser session information paid out to the information display terminal 310 used in combination with the SIP phone 300 that has established communication by SIP). The call session information received by the notification receiving unit 233 such as call session information is transmitted to the information display terminal 310 that performs polling by the browser (step S215), and the access destination is changed to the URL of the service providing apparatus 100. A redirect instruction is issued to instruct to do so (step S216).

  Then, the information display terminal 310 is redirected to change the access destination to the service providing apparatus 100, and the call session information transmitting unit 332 transmits the call session information to the service providing apparatus 100 (step S217).

  Now, the processing on the HGW 450 side (side B) will be described. First, when SIP communication is established between the SIP phone 300 and the SIP phone 350, the call session information collection unit 481 of the HGW 450 is established by SIP between the subordinate SIP phone 350 and the other SIP phone 300. The call session information for uniquely identifying the communication is collected from the information included in the SIP communication (step S218), and is transmitted to the information display terminal specifying unit 483 in step S220.

  Next, the SIP phone ID collection unit 482 of the HGW 450 collects the SIP phone ID, which is information for uniquely identifying the subordinate SIP phone 350, from information included in the SIP communication (step S219), and an information display terminal specifying unit 483 (step S220).

  Subsequently, the information display terminal specifying unit 483 of the HGW 450 specifies the information display terminal 360 used in combination with the SIP phone 350 that has established communication by SIP in step S204 (step S221). Specifically, the information display terminal identification unit 483 first identifies the information display terminal 360 by searching the browser session information storage unit 471 using the SIP phone ID as a search key, and the browser session of the identified information display terminal 360 Information is compared with the browser session information of each of the plurality of information display terminals 360 that perform polling (step S222) on the HGW 450, and the information display terminal 360 that is used in combination with the SIP phone 350 that establishes communication by SIP. Identify.

  Then, the access destination change instruction unit 484 of the HGW 450 issues an access destination change instruction to the information display terminal 360 specified in step S222. Specifically, a redirect instruction for instructing the specified information display terminal 360 to change the access destination to the URL of the service providing apparatus 100 is performed together with the call session information (step S223).

  Then, the call session information transmission unit 381 of the information display terminal 360 is redirected, changes the access destination to the service providing apparatus 100, and transmits call session information to the service providing apparatus 100 (step S224).

  On the other hand, when the call session information receiving unit 131 of the service providing apparatus 100 receives the call session information transmitted from the information display terminal 310 or the information display terminal 360, the Web session information paying unit 133 subsequently receives the call session information. The information display terminal 310 and the information display terminal 360 that transmitted the message are provided with Web communication (Web communication performed by the information display terminal 310 and the information display terminal 360 with the service providing apparatus 100 in order to receive service provision). As information, Web session information is paid out (Step S225), and the paid-out Web session information is transmitted to the information display terminal 310 and the information display terminal 360 (Step S226 and Step S227).

  Next, the associating unit 134 of the service providing apparatus 100 associates the web session information paid out for the information display terminal 310 or the information display terminal 360 in step S225 with the call session information acquired in step S217 or step S224. And stored in the session information storage unit 121. The service providing unit 135 of the service providing apparatus 100 is one in which each of predetermined call session information among the plurality of call session information stored in the session information storage unit 121 is established as the same communication by SIP. In this case, the services provided by using the Web session information stored in association with each of the call session information are controlled in association with each other (Steps S228 and S229-1 to S229-4). .

  In this way, the service providing unit 135 of the service providing apparatus 100 controls the service based on the association performed in step S228.

  In the above, assuming that the response in step S213 from the associating device 200 to the service providing device 100 is a response that “call session information can be associated with the information display terminal 310”, step S214 and subsequent steps. However, there may be a response that “call session information cannot be associated with the information display terminal 310”. That is, it is a case where the process of step S209-S212 was performed after step S213.

  Therefore, an example of such a case will be described. For example, the associating device 200 transmits a response “call session information cannot be associated with the information display terminal 310” to the service providing device 100, and It is assumed that call session information notified from the service providing apparatus 100 is stored in the attachment storage unit 221 in association with information for uniquely identifying the SIP phone 300. More specifically, it is assumed that the association storage unit 221 further stores “call session information” in the database as shown in FIG. 5 (although “call session information and information display terminal” 310 cannot be associated with “310”, the information is not yet stored in the “browser session information” column).

  Thereafter, the information display terminal 310 logs in to the association device 200 by transmitting an ID or password to the association device 200, and the association device 200 pays out browser session information at that time, and the database as shown in FIG. If the paid-out browser session information is stored in the “browser session information” and the paid-out browser session information is transmitted to the information display terminal 310, the processing from step S215 onward proceeds as in the processing procedure of FIG. Become. Thus, the present invention can be similarly applied even when the processing of steps S209 to S212 is performed after step S213.

  In another example, for example, the service providing apparatus 100 may repeatedly notify the association apparatus 200 of step S213. In this way, the associating device 200 can perform subsequent confirmation and response using the call session information repeatedly transmitted from the service providing device 100 without storing “call session information”.

  Although not shown in FIG. 12, when the telephone conversation between the SIP phone 300 and the SIP phone 350 is terminated, the service providing apparatus 100 has disconnected the communication established by the SIP. When the disconnection information indicating the disconnection communication is received by being transmitted from the SIP PROXY 500 together with the call session information for uniquely identifying the disconnected communication, the service provision corresponding to the call session information is controlled to be terminated. The device 200 may be instructed to delete the call session information.

  That is, for example, as in the above example, this is effective when the association device 200 further stores call session information notified from the service providing device 100 in the association storage unit 221. That is, the association apparatus 200 can delete call session information that is no longer used by being instructed by the service providing apparatus 100 to delete call session information.

[Effect of Example 1]
As described above, according to the first embodiment, the terminal-side form is divided into the SIP phone and the information display terminal, and the SIP phone can access the HGW, while the information display terminal is the HGW. In an environment where it is difficult to access the service provider, even when the relationship with the communication partner is temporary, such as a communication partner with which communication has been established by SIP, the service providing apparatus is based on such a temporary communication relationship. Services can be realized.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. Any information can be used as long as it can uniquely identify the SIP phone, such as a serial number of the SIP phone.

  In the above embodiment, the first communication is communication in the process of establishing a session by SIP (note that the first communication to be disconnected means communication established by SIP). Yes, it has been assumed that the second communication is Web communication (HTTP communication), but the present invention is not limited to this. As long as the session established by the first communication and the second communication session are different from each other, any specific communication protocol may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the call session information acquired by the service providing apparatus has been described as having the same value. However, the call session information may not be the same value. A combination of two values may be used as long as the service providing apparatus can recognize the same communication established between terminals by SIP uniquely.
