Description

Application sharing content delivery system {SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING CONTENTS SHARING APPLICATION}

An object of the present invention is to provide an integrated platform that can be linked to various kinds of client platforms.

Recently, the number of devices using contents including video has been continuously increasing, such as mobile phones, PDAs and PCs capable of wireless communication. Application programs running on such devices may not run on clients with a wide range of environments and may consume a lot of system resources. Web services are software technologies that combine computer system programs between a single business or multiple business companies through an open network using the Internet, and are activities that enable all businesses using these standard technologies. This web service can be accessed through various devices such as PC, PDA, and mobile phone, and can be used in conjunction with various application programs such as various order management and credit information service.

This is possible because web services are not flexible to define and compose perfect definitions like other softwares. Thus, on the Internet, web services serve as a link to overcome communication differences between heterogeneous operating systems and heterogeneous programming languages among trading partners. As such, web services flexibly integrate and operate heterogeneous data standards through flexible software structures, and users can receive services through various devices and connection methods (wireless, wired, WiBro, etc.) regardless of time and place. have. In addition, Web services automatically implement integration between software in distributed systems, reducing development and operating costs for individual companies, and providing interconnected tasks much faster, more flexible, and more efficient than ever before. Improves efficiency efficiently.

For these web services, the web browser requests a page from the web service and displays it on the screen. Some applications are not platform independent, so even if they are the same application, it is necessary to develop various versions according to the platform. It was also difficult to utilize because of its large size.

In particular, in terms of content services that currently provide and receive content, the producers, providers, users, and administrators of the content are referred to as content services. If the contents are serviced in a centrally managed manner, there is a problem of matching the platform among various producers, providers, users, and administrators. Therefore, the client / server method is neutral to the platform and provides authentication / security / communication for contents provision. The need to provide a modular application sharing platform is increased.

An object of the present invention is to provide a system capable of providing appropriate billing and security while providing content such as movies, games, etc. regardless of the device platform of the provider and the receiver. It aims to achieve convergence between contents based on interworking between wired and wireless services.

In order to achieve the above object, there is provided an application sharing content providing system interoperable with various types of content servers, the application sharing content providing system comprising: a profile manager for storing and managing user-specific information; A permission processing unit for determining whether the client has permission to use the request message; an authentication processing unit for receiving an authentication key by connecting to a system server from the ID of the client and retransmitting the request to the client if the permission is present; If the client needs to make a payment, it may include a payment DB for processing the payment.

The use request message of the service may be made by the registration manager 22 which provides a list of services supported by the server and a service specification in a Web Services Description Language (WSDL).

The authentication processing unit may be to receive a service use request message through a user-developed application program according to the service list and service specification provided from the registration manager.

The authentication processing unit may transmit the ID provided from the client to the client when the authority is received by receiving the authentication key value from the system server.

After the application sharing content providing system provides the authentication key value to the client, the content server may directly provide the content from the content server to the client by using the ID and the authentication key provided from the client.

The client may include an authentication module, a communication module, a process engine module, and a security module, and communication data of the client may be encrypted by the security module.

When the client requests payment processing, the payment processing unit may connect to a payment server of a system server to perform a payment and notify the system server of the payment details.

The application sharing contents providing system as described above has an effect of providing contents through stable payment and authentication even in response to devices of various platforms.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 shows a system according to the invention. The system according to the present invention is composed of a content server 12, a system server 13, a real name authentication server 14 is connected to the client system 11 and the network and the system server to cope with various platforms It has a framework 15 and the framework has a server socket 21 for communication with various servers, and the resist management unit 22 to provide a list of services that can be supported by the server and service specifications in WSDL (Web Services Description Language). do. The authentication processing unit 23 is a processing unit that performs a function of processing the authentication for the service user. When the service use request message is transmitted from the client, the service user authentication is performed based on the corresponding message. The profile manager 24 manages information for each service user who is pre-contracted with respect to the use of the system, and the permission authority processing unit 25 performs a function of authenticating service permission for the service user who is requested to use the service. It also includes a payment processing unit 26 for payment processing. The system server communicates with the client through the framework 15. The system server includes a legacy server, a web server for authentication, and a DB.

The content server includes a content DB for providing content, and the real name authentication server includes a real name authentication DB for real name authentication.

The client includes all devices capable of receiving content through wired / wireless networks such as mobile phones, PCs, and set-top boxes. The client includes an authentication module for performing authentication work to receive content from an ID, a client module, a communication module for communicating with various servers, and a process engine module for executing the client. The data transmission of the client is performed by a security module. Encrypted and performed.

2 shows an overall configuration diagram of an application sharing platform according to the present invention. The user client may be a set-top box based on various platforms, a PC, or a portable terminal. In addition, content providers may also be based on multiple platforms. The producer and manager platform of the content may also be different. The application sharing platform according to the present invention includes an authentication module, a security module, and a communication module in the form of a component. For this service, a message of a service desired to be used in an application sharing system using WSDL (Web Services Description Language) is provided. By creating and communicating with the application sharing platform, the application sharing platform also uses WSDL to communicate with the content company's server to provide content to the user client.

3 shows a configuration diagram of a client. The client will include communication, security, and authentication modules. The security module encrypts / decrypts data transmitted and received through communication using a preset key.

The authentication module authenticates that the client is a legitimate service user, and passes the data encrypted by the security module to the framework, and the framework decrypts the encrypted data to the server-side system and delivers it to the server.

When authentication is performed by the authentication module, the client provides a message on the authentication success to the content server and directly receives the content from the content server.

4 shows a payment process of a client. When the client side requests contents to the server system of the contents company, the server side system of the contents company checks whether the contents are provided to the client for a fee or free. If the client provides contents for a fee, the payment system of the framework makes a payment. request. The payment module of the client connects to a separate payment server to perform the payment of the client, and transmits the payment history of the client to the system server.

5 shows a configuration diagram of the communication module. When the client receives the content, the client can directly access the server of the content company through an HTTP request. The client receives the content of payment security and delivers it to the framework. Other data is passed between the client and the system server through the framework.

6 shows an authentication state. When the client requests to send the content to the content server, the content server requests an ID and an authentication key value. In case of any error, the content server returns an error code to the client. The authentication system is requested for authentication. The authentication system, if necessary for ID generation, accesses a separate real name authentication server to check whether the ID creator is the real name, requests the authentication key value from the server, and the server generates the authentication key and passes it to the authentication module through the authentication system. Done. The server for generating the authentication key may be independent of the system server, and the ID and the authentication key may be accessed from the server of the content company.
