Description

Method and System for Providing Open AP-based Web Portal Service based on Open Application Program Interface

The present invention relates to a method and system for integrating and opening an open API for a web portal service through a service delivery platform. More specifically, it integrates protocols and parameters of respective web sites and adds and changes sites through a database change. The present invention relates to a method and system for providing an open API based web portal service.

The present invention is derived from a study conducted as part of the IT growth engine technology development project of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy and the Ministry of Information and Communication Research and Development. [Task management number: 2008-S-006-01, Task name: Open IPTV in wired and wireless environment 2.0) Technology Development]

In the future, next-generation services are becoming converged services. In particular, in order to provide mashup convergence services combining Internet services, communication services, and broadcasting services, a service delivery platform that enables developers to easily use web-open technology together with communication adapters and broadcast adapters. (Service Delivery Platform: hereinafter referred to as 'SDP') Adapter technology is required.

The open application program interface (API) for the web portal is one of the most representative Web 2.0 technologies. If the company provides the functions available on the web for free, the user can take the functions and assemble their programs as if they were building a LEGO block. You can assemble it into another program. However, various web portal open API methods, ID, and authentication management functions exist for each site, and in order to open the web portal open API in a telecommunication company, it is necessary to provide stable functions and to be easily connected with other application services of the telecommunication company. do.

There are two types of web portal open APIs: informational data search form and web page import using JavaScript.

The existing technologies using the web portal open API are as follows. In other words, in the case of Alchemis (http://local.alkemis.com/local/index.htm), the web portal open API can be built separately for each site, and an authentication key can be generated directly from each site for each site in the application service. It is managed separately. It does not matter if the number of sites is small, but it can be a problem if the number is large.

As a result, there is a need for a method for strengthening service competitiveness with ICT (Information & Communication Technology) convergence service, which is an IT mashup convergence service between existing communication service and Internet service. Each open API such as Google Maps and Naver intellectuals has various usage methods and authentication methods, so it is not easy for application service developers to find and use each site, and it is not easy for developers to develop a combination of communication service and IT service.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems described above, can support regardless of the Web 2.0 protocol, such as REST / RSS, REST / XML protocol, unified various search sites to the same Web Services Interoperability Organization (WSI) standard The purpose is to provide an open API-based web portal service providing method and system.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a method and system for providing an open API-based web portal service for providing an integrated management function for a site-specific authentication key through web portal integrated authentication key management.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for providing an open API-based web portal service for opening or mapping only necessary information among message parameters such as REST / RSS and XML through a parameter mapping function.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an open API-based web portal service providing method and system for providing a dynamic open API framework structure that does not require redevelopment when adding a new site.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for providing an open API-based web portal service for providing an open technology of an integrated web service standard every time a site is accessed.

The present invention for achieving the above object, Web site of the open API (Application Program Interface), Web portal server for providing a web portal service; A web portal application service server for reconfiguring a program using the open API and requesting the web portal service; And searching for an authentication key corresponding to an open API ID and a web site address when the web portal application service server requests a service, and accessing the web portal server having the web site address using the authentication key. An open API-based web portal service providing system including a service delivery platform for receiving a web portal service mapped to an integration parameter from a server and delivering the web portal service to the web portal application service server.

The present invention provides an open API-based web portal service providing method in a web portal adapter including an application interface processor, a web portal integrated authenticator, a parameter mapper, a web portal response analyzer, and a web portal request responder. Receiving a service request signal including list information from the web portal application service server; Retrieving an authentication key and a web site address corresponding to the open API ID; Accessing the web portal server having the web site address using the authentication key, and requesting a web portal service mapped to the integration request list information to the web portal server; And delivering a web portal service provided from the web portal server to the web portal application service server.

As described above, according to the present invention, by providing a method and system for providing an open API-based web portal service that proposes a standard standard integrating protocols and parameters of each web site, developers can access all web sites in the same way. You can develop the program conveniently.

In addition, by providing a dynamic open API framework structure that does not require program redevelopment when adding a new site, and by mashing up Internet service that is other field in communication service, it enhances the added value, service and atmosphere. It has the effect of increasing creation.

In addition, developers with web service development knowledge have the same toolkit, and each service or combined service can be developed in the communication and internet fields, thereby increasing the development efficiency.

In addition, developers do not need to learn how to use each open API individually and do not need to understand how to provide each authentication key.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.
