Description

AS.1 compiler device {ASN.1 Compiler}

The present invention relates to an ASN.1 compiler device, and more particularly, to an ASN.1 compiler device supporting automatic mutual conversion between various ASN.1 encoding rules.

In general, ASN.1 is a protocol that defines standardized data exchange through the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and is used in various fields such as the network field and the mobile field.

This ASN.1 is used by each system as it requires data interworking between individual systems using various operating systems such as MS Windows, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, HP UX, Mac OSX, Linux, FreeBSD, etc. It is proposed to solve the problem of data interpretation error caused by the difference of data storage structure.

When developing the system, development is performed using encoding and decoding source codes generated by the ASN.1 compiler. In this case, BER (Basic Encoding Rule), PER (Packed Encoding Rule), XER, etc. Various encoding methods such as (XML Encoding Rule) may be used.

In particular, in the case of the Intelligent Transport System (ITS), both national and international standards have been established using the ASN.1 marking method.

In the case of intelligent transportation systems, there are many environments where wired and wireless are mixed due to the characteristics of operation and installation. For example, the Gangnam-gu bus traffic center wirelessly receives location information of the buses in its area and transmits the information to wire buses to nearby bus traffic centers such as Seocho-gu and Songpa-gu.

At this time, the communication between the bus and the Gangnam-gu bus traffic center uses the PER type encoding rule, and the communication between the bus traffic centers uses the BER type encoding rule. Therefore, the Gangnam-gu bus traffic center receives BER information transmitted wirelessly from the bus, decodes it by the BER method, encodes it back to the PER method, and transmits it to a nearby bus traffic center, which is very repetitive and mixed with wired and wireless. In all circumstances, programming must be repeated when developing all functions.

However, although it is repeated programming, since the encoding and decoding functions of each data type and message are different, they cannot be bundled into one function. Therefore, these difficulties are frequently appeared in the development process of most intelligent transportation systems, but they are difficult to solve.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an ASN.1 compiler apparatus that automatically generates interconversion between encoding rules.

The above object is, lexical analysis module for grasping the meaning of each word by analyzing the input ASN.1 document; A parsing module for checking whether the words separated by the token form a sentence are grammatically correct; A validity analysis module for analyzing the meaning of the sentence; A file generation module for converting into a programmable language according to the sensed meaning; And an ASN.1 compiler apparatus for supporting automatic inter-conversion between encoding rules including an inter-conversion file generation module for generating an inter-conversion file using the encoding and decoding functions generated by the file generation module.

Preferably, the inter-conversion file generated by the inter-conversion file generation module includes a cross-conversion structure and a cross-conversion function.

The interconversion structure includes the structure of the following sentence.

A_BER_Data = A_PER_to_BER_Encode (A_PER_Data)

Here, the structure of the sentence means that the expression A generates data A_BER_Data encoded using the BER encoding rule when data A_PER_Data encoded using the PER encoding rule is input.

In addition, the inter-conversion function includes the function of the following sentence.

A_BER_Data = A__PER_to_BER_Encode (A_PER_Data)

{

        A_Common_Data = A_PER_Decode (A_PER_Data);

        A_BER_Data = A_BER_Encode (A_Common_Data);

}

In this case, when the data encoded with the PER encoding rule (A_PER_Data) is input, the function of the sentence is decoded by the PER encoding rule (A_PER_Decode) and converted into a common data structure (A_Common_Data) commonly used in all encoding rules, and the converted common data The structure A_Common_Data means that data is converted into data A_BER_Data encoded by the BER encoding rule.

According to the above configuration, it is possible to generate an automatic mutual conversion function between encoding rules, thereby achieving advantages such as shortening the development period and improving system stability due to avoiding complicated repetitive work.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail an embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a block diagram showing a functional block of an ASN.1 compiler according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the ASN.1 compiler includes a lexical analysis module 10, a syntax analysis module 20, a validity analysis module 30, a file generation module 40, and a mutual conversion file generation module 50. It is composed.

The lexical analysis module 10 analyzes the input ASN.1 document to grasp the meaning of each word. In other words, all the words are separated around the keyword and stored in each token. Here, ASN.1 documents can use data definitions defined in the International Standard (ITU-T) or can be defined by application developers themselves.

The parsing module 20 checks that there are no grammatical errors when words separated by tokens form a sentence. For example, a formal e-mail checks the format, such as whether the greeting comes first at the beginning, whether the story proceeds by introduction, body, and conclusion, or whether the sender's personal information is properly written at the end of the e-mail.

The validity analysis module 30 analyzes the meaning of the sentence. According to the result of the syntax analysis module 20, each word has a position and has its own meaning. Taking the above e-mail as an example, the first name is a recipient name, and the last name is recognized as a sender.

The file generation module 40 converts the language into a programmable language according to the sensed meaning. The file generation module 40 generates a structure file (* .h) and an encoding and decoding function (* .c). Each expression creates its own structure file and function file. For example, if the expression A is defined, Ah and Ac are created. Etc. are generated. Here, the PER (Packed Encoding Rule) and BER (Basic Encoding Rule) mean encoding rules, which are used in wireless and wired lines, respectively.

The inter-conversion file generation module 50 generates the inter-conversion file using the encoding and decoding functions generated by the file generation module 40.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an algorithm applied by the inter-conversion file generation module 50.

It reads the input ASN.1 module (step S21) and determines whether the ASN.1 module exists (step S22). If it does not exist, the module operation is completed. * .c) is generated (step S23).

Subsequently, the insert statements (Import) are read in order (step S24), and each #include statement is generated (step S25a). If it is determined that the insertion syntax does not exist (step S25), the expressions are read in order (step S26) to generate the interconversion structure (* .h) and the interconversion function (* .c) (step S28, S29) If all representations are read and it is determined that no representation exists (step S27), the process proceeds to the next ASN.1 module and returns to the step of reading the ASN.1 module.

With this routine, when all ASN.1 modules have been processed, the module startup is completed as above.

Here, an example of the interconversion function will be described in detail.

Assuming the expression A, the structure of the following statement is generated in the A.h file.

A_BER_Data = A_PER_to_BER_Encode (A_PER_Data)

The meaning of this structure is to generate data A_BER_Data, which is encoded using the BER encoding rule when the expression A is input data encoded using the PER encoding rule (A_PER_Data).

In the A.c file, the function

A_BER_Data = A__PER_to_BER_Encode (A_PER_Data)

{

        A_Common_Data = A_PER_Decode (A_PER_Data);

        A_BER_Data = A_BER_Encode (A_Common_Data);

}

The meaning of this function is that when data encoded with a PER encoding rule (A_PER_Data) is input, it is decoded into a PER encoding rule (A_PER_Decode) and converted into a common data structure (A_Common_Data) commonly used by all encoding rules. The converted common data structure A_Common_Data is converted into data A_BER_Data encoded by the BER encoding rule.

In the above description, the embodiment of the present invention has been described, but various changes can be made at the level of those skilled in the art. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the above embodiment, but should be interpreted by the claims described below.
