Description

MESSAGE HANDLING APPARATUS AND METHOD IN EXCHANGE SYSTEM USING DISTRIBUTED OBJECTS OF WORKSTATION}

The present invention relates to a method of processing a message in a switching system, and more particularly to a method of processing a message in a system using a distributed object.

Typically, exchange systems consist of large systems, with many processes operating organically together. In this way, each process operates organically, so that a single call is processed in the exchange system. In more detail, when a call is attempted, each task performing an authentication procedure, translating a number, and performing various operations for connection of a switching connection call is performed in connection with the attempted call.

This will be described with reference to FIG. 1. 1 is a diagram illustrating a process of operating a process in an exchange system according to the prior art. Processes that operate in a switching system have a commercial operating system (OS) 10 and operate on the basis of the commercial operating system. Each process is processed in the application layer (APP) on the basis of the operating system (10). That is, as shown in FIG. 1, each process is provided like the first process 20 and the second process 30. At this time, when a predetermined process, for example, the first process 20 is called, the commercial operating system 10 transmits a process ID (PID) to the first process 20. Accordingly, the first process 20 receives a process ID through an internal interface handler (hereinafter referred to as "IH") 21 provided therein and distributes it to a distributed transport network manager. DTN manager. "). At this time, the DTN manager 22 transfers it to the DTN manager 32 for processing if data is to be processed by another process, for example, the second process 30. In other words, the processes are entangled with each other organically.

However, the current exchange system is being actively researched to operate in a distributed environment in which each object is separated and operated separately without being divided into each process performed in the system. As such, in order to individualize and operate processes in an exchange system, hardware of a system is basically maintained, and objects corresponding to each process controlling hardware must be mounted and operated in a predetermined workstation. As such, when mounted on a workstation corresponding to each processor, a method for exchanging messages between each object or for operating each object grouped together as one process is required. However, until now, distributed objects cannot be executed when a message is processed in an exchange system.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for exchanging messages between distributed objects in an exchange system.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for performing tasks by grouping among distributed objects in an exchange system.

The present invention for achieving the above object is an apparatus for processing a message processed in the exchange system using a distributed object at the workstation, comprising an object processing environment for matching the object environment of the operating system and application layer, Exchanges messages with the switching system through the object processing environment, generates a thread service upon receipt of a message, creates an interface section manager for managing a section pool, and delivers it to the interface section manager when message processing is required. An interface manager, the thread service for storing the received message and sequentially providing the received message to the interface manager along with a message processing request signal according to whether there is an available section of the section pool; A plurality of types are provided for each An object pool including objects that perform operations according to the type of the object when a section is matched by a call of a resource manager, and objects are processed through the resource manager to process a corresponding message when a message processing request is made from the interface manager. It consists of a section pool, which consists of a number of sections that invoke and process messages via operations and pass them to the interface manager.

In addition, when receiving a processed message from an interface section, the interface manager may store the received message in the thread service to perform further processing.

In addition, the workstation is provided with a data network manager for interprocess communication.

The method of the present invention for achieving the above objects is;

An interface manager for sending and receiving and reprocessing messages in an object processing environment, a thread service that sequentially requests message processing according to whether an available section exists, an object pool including a plurality of objects by type, and A method of processing a message at a workstation that receives a message of a switching system and processes the message by calling objects and processing the message through an operation, and storing the message when the message is received from the switching system. Waiting for an order, delivering the message to a predetermined section of a section pool when a message processing request is made from the thread service, and calling the object of the object pool according to the received message to process the message. The process of delivering to the interface manager The.

In addition, when the interface manager receives the processed message, the interface manager may further include checking whether reprocessing is necessary, and when the interface manager needs to reprocess the test result, storing the message in the thread service.

When object management is performed, an object processing environment (THREAD) 15 must exist above the operating system (OS) 10. It is already developed and used in various object environments, for example, in various systems used in intelligent networks. As such, in the application layer above the object processing environment, a process for performing one task is not provided, but each object 101, 102, 103 is provided. These objects are gathered to perform the same operation as the process shown in the prior art. That is, reference numeral 100 shown in FIG. 2 may be one process operating in one prior art. However, the objects 101, 102, 103 are provided without being associated with each other.

3 is a block diagram illustrating objects and object managers configured in an application layer configured according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, with reference to Figure 3 looks at the configuration and operation of the objects and object managers that must be provided in the workstation for the objectification of the exchange system.

The object processing environment (DTE) 15 has been described above with reference to FIG. 2. That is, it is driven on the operating system (not shown in FIG. 3) and delivers data to be processed to the application layer. In this case, the message transmitted from the object processing environment 15 is transferred to an interface manager (hereinafter referred to as "IH") 211. That is, all messages delivered to the application layer are delivered to the IH 211 for processing. The IH 211 generates and dispatches a thread service 212 when processing a message transmitted from the outside or a message transmitted from the inside. The thread service 212 secures a large number of threads therein. Thus all messages to be processed by the IH 211 are stored in the thread service 212. And when there is a thread available, it is delivered from the message first received by the thread service 212 to the IH 211 in turn. That is, the thread service 212 delivers the message to be processed to the IH 211 in the form of first in, first out (FIFO).

IH section manager 215 is also generated by IH 211 and receives messages from the thread service 212 to deliver to each functional object. Such functional objects are provided in the section pool (IH SESSION POOL) 216 and operated. When the IH sections provided in the section pool 216 are selected, necessary objects may be taken from the object pool 214 to be described later. This operation will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4 to be described later.

The object pool OBJECT POOL 214 managed by the resource manager 213 includes at least two objects of various kinds. In addition, each object of the object pool is allocated by the resource manager 213, and the allocation request of each of the objects is requested from each section of the section pool 216.

4 is an entity process diagram illustrating a process of processing a message according to the present invention. Hereinafter, a process of objectizing and processing a message according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.

When a predetermined message is threaded and delivered to the IH 211 in the object processing environment 15, the IH 211 creates a thread service 212. If the thread service 212 is created, the message is stored in the thread service 212. Thereafter, message processing is required from the thread service 212. This is done by first-in first-out (FIFO) the message to be processed as described above in the thread service 212. Accordingly, the number of data stored in the memory of the thread service 212 is configured differently according to the number of sections that can be called from the section pool 216. That is, when a section capable of processing a message is stored in the section pool 216, the thread service 212 transfers the stored message to the IH 211.

In this way, when the section for processing the message is prepared in the section pool 216, that is, when the processing order of the received message is reached, the thread service 212 transfers the message to the IH 211. The IH 211 then forwards the message to the IH section manager 215 for processing. Accordingly, the IH section manager 215 matches the IH section in response to the received message. The IH section then has a predetermined number and calls objects for message processing. That is, as described above with reference to FIG. 3, the resource manager 213 requests necessary objects. If the objects required to perform a given task are Object A 214a, Object B 214B, and Object C, the objects needed in the object pool are called one by one. The IH section 216a then performs the operation of the called objects.

As described above in more detail the process performed by the IH section as follows. Each of the objects may be functions for processing a predetermined operation. Thus, the IH section 216a can call the necessary functions and obtain the required values through the called functions. The value processed by the function is then recalculated by the function to be processed later, i. E. The object called from the object pool 214. This process is carried out in sequence and its control is carried out by the IH section. Thus, each IH section calls the required function, i.e. objects, and returns to the object pool 214 via the resource manager 213 if the function is used. Thus, the object pool 214 stores the used objects again.

The IH section transfers the processed message back to the IH 211 when processing of the required message is completed through the above-described process. Therefore, the IH 211 delivers the processed message internally or externally.

In the above description, only one section processes one message. However, one message may be processed by more than one section sequentially. This may vary depending on what the message requires.

As described above, when a distributed object is located at a workstation to process a message, when applied to a large system such as an exchange system, a new new service or the like may be smoothly performed. In addition, the exchange system is not equipped with a new process, thereby reducing the load on the system, which has the advantage of ensuring fast data processing and data stability.
