Most network programs can be divided into server and client. When the server receives a request from a client, the server handles the request and informs the client of the result. The client requests the server and accepts the result of the task.

A socket is a means for providing communication between processes running on different computers over a network, such as a server (e.g., a web server) and a client (e.g., a terminal). Opening the line by designating a socket consisting of an address and a port through a browser) enables data transmission / reception regardless of the communication procedure.

In the conventional mobile terminal, a single socket structure of downloading a data by opening one socket is mostly. That is, in the related art, after accessing a wireless Internet network using a modem, a request is made to open a socket on a web server side, and when the web server side accepts a socket open, the data is connected by downloading the socket and when the download is completed, Data communication was performed by releasing the internet connection.

And performing a communication.

In addition, the data communication support system in a terminal-based application according to an embodiment of the present invention and the first server identified by the first communication event in conjunction with the first communication event generated by the application running in the terminal and the Socket control means for opening a first socket for data communication with an application, and a second socket provided separately from the first socket as a second communication event is generated by the application while the first socket is opened; Means for determining whether or not to open, and if it is determined to allow opening, communication to open the second socket to perform data communication between the second server identified by the second communication event and the application. And control means.

According to the present invention, according to the setting information of each application that can be driven in the terminal, it is possible to efficiently perform data communication in each application of the terminal through a single socket / multi-socket.

In addition, according to the configuration information included in each communication event generated in the terminal-based application, it is possible to efficiently perform data communication for processing each communication event through a single socket / multi-socket.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a method and system for supporting data communication in a terminal-based application according to the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a network communication support system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The network communication support system 100 may include a socket control means 110, an open / close determination means 120, a communication control means 130, and a database 140.

The socket control means 110 opens the first socket for data communication between the first server identified by the first communication event and the application in association with a first communication event generated by an application running in the terminal. Function

For example, when a first communication event regarding a connection request of a website whose URL is 'http://www.naver.com' is generated by an application 'web browser' running on a terminal, the socket control means 110 may be configured as described above. The first socket for receiving the web data corresponding to the access request of the website from the first server 'NAVER' identified by the first communication event and opening the first socket for providing to the application 'web browser' may be opened. .

That is, the socket control unit 110 may request the opening of the first socket to the first server 'NAVER' in association with the first communication event. When the permission response to the request is received from the first server 'NAVER', The first socket can be opened.

Accordingly, the network communication support system 100 may perform data communication between the first server 'NAVER' and the application 'web browser' through the first socket so that the network communication support system 100 may process a first communication event regarding a request for accessing a website. do.

The opening determination unit 120 determines whether the second socket is opened separately from the first socket as the second communication event occurs by the application while the first socket is maintained open. Do it.

For example, the open / close determination unit 120 searches the database 140 for setting information about the application that generated the first communication event, and the second socket when the searched setting information relates to block setting. It may be determined whether or not to open or not, or if the retrieved configuration information is related to nonblock configuration, it may be determined whether to open the second socket.

The database 140 may previously maintain configuration information regarding the terminal-based application as 'block setting' or 'nonblock setting'. The database 140 may record setting information for various applications that can be driven in the terminal, such as a web browser, an e-mail program, a video file player, a music file player, a message transceiving program, a game program, and the like.

For example, the network communication support system 100 designates the configuration information as 'nonblock setting' for an application requiring a high processing speed when receiving data such as a 'web browser' so that the opening of the first socket is maintained. The second socket may be allowed to open while the network communication support system 100 blocks the configuration information for an application that requires security such as an 'e-mail program' or stability of data reception. Set to 'set' to allow the opening of the second socket while the opening of the first socket is maintained.

As another example, the opening determination unit 120 determines whether or not opening of the second socket is impossible to open when the setting information included in the first communication event is related to block setting, or the first opening. When the configuration information included in the 1 communication event is related to the nonblock configuration, whether to open the second socket may be determined to be open permission.

That is, the opening determination unit 120 determines whether to open the second socket according to the configuration information specified for each terminal-based application, and considers the configuration information included in the first communication event occurring in the application. In addition, it may be determined whether the second socket is open.

For example, the first communication event related to a request for access to a website generated by an application 'web browser' running on a terminal may be set to 'block setting' when the security level of the requesting website is 'high'. It may be generated to include the configuration information regarding the 'low', it may be generated to include the configuration information about the 'nonblock setting'.

That is, in the case of the first communication event regarding a request for access to the website 'NAVER' having the URL 'http://www.naver.com', the setting information related to the 'non-block setting' may be included, and the opening determining means 120 ) May allow the opening of the second socket in association with the occurrence of the second communication event.

In addition, in the case of the first communication event regarding a request for access to the website 'Kookmin Bank' at the URL 'http://www.kbstar.com', the setting information related to 'block setting' may be included, The determining means 120 may not allow opening of the second socket in association with the occurrence of the second communication event.

When it is determined that the opening is permitted, the communication control unit 130 opens the second socket to perform data communication between the second server identified by the second communication event and the application.

For example, a second communication event regarding a connection request to a website 'Daum' whose URL is 'http://www.daum.net' is generated by an application 'web browser' running on the terminal. If it is determined that the opening is permitted to open, the communication control means 130 controls the socket control means 110 to open the second socket, and the second server identified by the second communication event through the second socket. By performing data communication between 'Daum' and the application 'web browser', it is possible to process a second communication event regarding a connection request of the website 'Daum'.

That is, the communication control unit 130 receives the web data corresponding to the connection request of the website 'Daum' from the second server 'Daum' identified by the second communication event through a second socket, and thus, the application 'web'. Browser '.

Accordingly, according to the present invention, the terminal-based application 'web browser' performs data communication with the first server and the second server through the first socket and the second socket (that is, through the multi-socket), respectively. By efficiently handling the second communication event, it is possible to access the website 'NAVER' and the website 'Daum' as fast as possible.

In this case, the second server may be the same server as the first server, or may be another separate server.

In addition, when the open-determination means 120 determines that it is impossible to open the second socket, the socket control means 110 maintains the closure of the second socket, and the second communication event to the buffer Can record

As the data communication between the first server and the application through the first socket ends, the socket control means 110 extracts the second communication event from the buffer, and the communication control means 130 extracts the data. Data communication between the second server identified by the second communication event and the application may be performed through the first socket (ie, a single socket).

Alternatively, the communication control unit 130 closes the data communication between the second server identified by the extracted second communication event and the application in association with the termination of the data communication, and then reopens the first socket. (I.e. via a single socket).

That is, according to the present invention, after the processing of the first communication event is completed through the data communication between the first server and the application through the first socket, the data communication between the second server and the application identified through the second communication event By performing this through the first socket it is possible to improve the stability of data communication in the terminal-based application.

Therefore, according to the present invention, according to the setting information of each application that can be driven in the terminal, it is possible to efficiently perform data communication in each application of the terminal through a single socket / multi-socket. In addition, according to the configuration information included in each communication event generated in the terminal-based application, it is possible to efficiently perform data communication for processing each communication event through a single socket / multi-socket.

2 is a diagram illustrating an example of performing data communication by opening a second socket when it is determined that the opening is allowed in the network communication support system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In a network communication support system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a first communication event regarding a connection request of a website having a URL of 'http://www.naver.com' is generated by an application 'web browser' running on a terminal. When this occurs, the first socket 201 may be opened to perform data communication between the first server 'NAVER' 211 and the application 'web browser' to process a first communication event regarding a connection request of a website.

In addition, the network communication support system generates a second communication event related to a request for access to a website 'Daum' whose URL is 'http://www.daum.net' by an application 'web browser' running on a terminal. Therefore, when it is determined that the opening of the second socket 202 is allowed to open, the second server 202 is opened and the second server identified by the second communication event through the second socket 202. By performing data communication between the 'Daum' 212 and the application 'web browser', it is possible to process a second communication event related to a connection request of the website 'Daum'.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of performing data communication when the network communication support system determines open open in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

In a network communication support system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a first communication event regarding a connection request of a website having a URL of 'http://www.naver.com' is generated by an application 'web browser' running on a terminal. When it occurs, the first socket 301 may be opened to perform data communication between the first server 'NAVER' 311 and the application 'web browser' to process a first communication event regarding a request for access to a website.

In addition, the network communication support system generates a second communication event related to a request for access to a website 'Daum' whose URL is 'http://www.daum.net' by an application 'web browser' running on a terminal. Accordingly, when it is determined that the opening of the second socket is impossible, the closure of the second socket may be maintained and the second communication event may be recorded in the buffer.

In this case, when data communication between the first server 311 and the application through the first socket 301 is terminated, the network communication support system extracts the second communication event from the buffer and the extracted second communication. Data communication between the second server 312 and the application identified by the event may be performed through the first socket (ie, a single socket).

4 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of a network communication supporting method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The data communication support method may be implemented by the data communication support system of the present invention. In addition, in the following description of FIG. 4, FIG. 4 will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

In operation S405, the data communication support system determines whether the first communication event occurs by an application running in the terminal.

As a result of the determination in step S405, when a first communication event occurs, in step S410 and S415, the data communication support system opens the first socket in association with the first communication event to identify the first communication event. Perform data communication between a server and the application.

For example, when a first communication event regarding a connection request of a website whose URL is 'http://www.naver.com' is generated by an application 'web browser' running on a terminal, the socket control means 110 may be configured as described above. The first socket for receiving the web data corresponding to the access request of the website from the first server 'NAVER' identified by the first communication event and opening the first socket for providing to the application 'web browser' may be opened. .

Accordingly, the network communication support system 100 may perform data communication between the first server 'NAVER' and the application 'web browser' through the first socket so that the network communication support system 100 may process a first communication event regarding a request for accessing a website. do.

In operation S420, the data communication support system determines whether a second communication event occurs by the application running on the terminal while the first socket is maintained open.

As a result of the determination in step S420, when a second communication event occurs while the opening of the first socket is maintained, the data communication support system determines whether to open the second socket provided separately from the first socket in step S425. do.

For example, the network communication support system 100 designates the configuration information as 'nonblock setting' for an application requiring a high processing speed when receiving data such as a 'web browser' so that the opening of the first socket is maintained. The second socket may be allowed to open while the network communication support system 100 blocks the configuration information for an application that requires security such as an 'e-mail program' or stability of data reception. Set to 'set' to allow the opening of the second socket while the opening of the first socket is maintained.

In addition, the first communication event related to the request for access to the website generated by the application 'web browser' running on the terminal is set to 'block setting' when the security level of the requesting website is 'high'. It may be generated to include the configuration information regarding the 'low', it may be generated to include the configuration information about the 'nonblock setting'. Therefore, in the case of the first communication event related to the request for access to the website 'NAVER' at the URL 'http://www.naver.com', the setting information related to the 'non-block setting' may be included and the opening determination means 120 May allow opening of the second socket in association with the occurrence of the second communication event. In addition, in the case of the first communication event related to the request for access to the website 'Kookmin Bank' at the URL 'http://www.kbstar.com', the setting information related to 'block setting' may be included and is determined to be open. The means 120 may not allow opening of the second socket in conjunction with the occurrence of the second communication event.

As a result of the determination in step S425, if it is determined that the opening is permitted to the second socket, in step S430 and S435, the data communication support system opens the second socket to identify the second communication event. 2 Performs data communication between the server and the application.

For example, the communication control means 130 controls the socket control means 110 to open a second socket, and the second server 'Daum' and the application 'web identified by the second communication event through the second socket. By performing the data communication of the browser, the second communication event regarding the access request of the website 'Daum' may be processed.

That is, the communication control unit 130 receives the web data corresponding to the connection request of the website 'Daum' from the second server 'Daum' identified by the second communication event through a second socket, and thus, the application 'web'. Browser '.

Accordingly, according to the present invention, the terminal-based application 'web browser' performs data communication with the first server and the second server through the first socket and the second socket (that is, through the multi-socket), respectively. By efficiently handling the second communication event, it is possible to access the website 'NAVER' and the website 'Daum' as fast as possible.

In this case, the second server may be the same server as the first server, or may be another separate server.

As a result of the determination in step S425, if it is determined that the opening of the second socket is impossible, in step S440, the data communication support system maintains the closing of the second socket, and records the second communication event in the buffer. do.

In step S445, the data communication support system determines whether data communication between the first server and the application through the first socket is terminated. When the data communication with the application is terminated as a result of the determination, step S450, In S455, the data communication support system extracts the second communication event from the buffer and performs data communication between the second server and the application identified by the extracted second communication event, the first socket (ie, a single socket). Do it through.

Alternatively, the communication control unit 130 closes the data communication between the second server identified by the extracted second communication event and the application in association with the termination of the data communication, and then reopens the first socket. It can also be done through:
