Description

Gateway and Resource Allocation Method For The Same}

The present invention relates to a gateway and a method of allocating resources thereof, and more particularly, to a gateway capable of applying a variable region and a method of allocating resources thereof.

A private gateway installed in a home or a specific space to provide a conventional network service service is allowed access only to a device or a user allowed by a predefined authentication procedure, and provides a network service to only that device or a user. It is processing the monitoring and control information for the data, and it is impossible to collect and process the data generated from the device that is not certified as a data format that can be accepted or processed by the personal gateway.

For example, according to a personal gateway that processes data of a specific device or user in a specific region or home for providing a machine-to-machine (M2M) service, an SSID (Service Set Identifier) is referred to as an SSID. Data sent from a device or user that does not have or is not pre-authenticated cannot be collected or processed by the personal gateway even if the device or user is located within an accessible area of the personal gateway.

Therefore, in the personal gateway according to the prior art as described above, when no data is generated or only a small amount of data is generated in a personal device in a corresponding area or home, most of the resources of the gateway remain as idle resources, resulting in a waste of available resources. .

In addition, in case of a device or a user whose information must be processed through a gateway, if a public gateway or other communication means does not exist in the vicinity, a personal gateway may be installed in the vicinity and may be utilized even if the idle resources remain. There is a problem that an inefficient situation may occur that the transmission of related data is impossible.

On the other hand, a more advanced form of gateway according to the prior art is disclosed, for example, in US Publication No. US2011 / 0044304 (published Feb. 2011) (see FIG. 1).

Referring to FIG. 1, the wireless gateway device 200 connected to a network includes a modem unit 204, a wireless communication unit 206, a processor 202, and a storage unit 208. 208 includes various computer executable modules 210A, 210B, 210C, 210D,... And data 212.

In addition, the above-described prior art gateway is a single gateway device 200 so as to be able to simultaneously communicate with the user devices 213A and 213B on the public network 213 and the user devices 214A and 214B on the private network 214. It is described that it can be configured.

However, the above-described prior art only defines the function of processing the functions of the public gateway and the private gateway in one gateway, and in terms of processing priority of the private and public device data, and the constant allocation resources and distribution logic of the gateway, Because it does not consider at all, the utilization of resources and networks within the gateway is effectively avoided when the gateway's elastic operation is not provided, such as delayed or incapable processing of personal data, which is the original purpose of the personal gateway, when overcapacity of common device data is occupied. There is a problem that becomes inoperable.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, in the communication with a device for providing a network service through a gateway, even if the gateway for a specific space and a specific device idle resources of the gateway The purpose of the present invention is to provide a gateway capable of effectively utilizing idle resources of a gateway and allocating a resource and a method of allocating the same, by allocating a shared gateway area that can be utilized by an external device that does not require personal authentication.

In addition, the present invention extends a predefined or periodically assigned personal gateway area in sharing the gateways allocated to the personal gateway area and the public gateway area to support a function of the public gateway for public purposes, while also serving as a smooth personal gateway. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gateway and a resource allocation method thereof.

A method for allocating a resource of a gateway according to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object includes a method for processing data of the first device according to a usage pattern of the gateway for a first device requiring personal authentication. Allocating a gateway area; And allocating a second gateway region for processing data of a second device that does not require personal authentication.

In addition, the gateway according to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object, the first gateway area for processing data of the first device according to the usage pattern of the gateway for the first device requiring personal authentication An allocating unit and allocating a second gateway region for processing data of a second device that does not require personal authentication; A determination unit that determines whether the incoming data requires personal authentication and its size; And a controller configured to control the area allocation unit to extend the first gateway area to part or all of the second gateway area if the incoming data exceeds a processing capacity of the first gateway area. do.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a so-called dual mode gateway that can flexibly allocate and use idle resources of the gateway beyond the limited operation of the gateway that is operated only privately or publicly.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to clarify the distinction between personal processing resources and common processing resources, thereby efficiently allocating resource allocations in individual and public data processing process areas, and at the same time, each processing capacity through expansion and contraction of processing capacity when excess data occurs. It is possible to provide a dual mode gateway of variable resource management.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

It is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention, the singular forms may include a plurality of representations, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise . Also, as used herein, the terms “comprise” or “have” are intended to indicate that there is a feature, number, step, action, component, part, or combination thereof described on the specification, and one or more other features. It is to be understood that the present invention does not exclude the possibility of the presence or the addition of numbers, steps, operations, components, components, or a combination thereof.

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.

2 illustrates a configuration of a personal gateway according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The personal gateway according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention can process data of a personal device requiring personal authentication at the same time and process device data of an external device or another person not requiring personal authentication. It can be implemented as an area-variable dual mode gateway.

In this case, the term “variable” refers to, for example, analyzing the gateway usage pattern of the personal device reflecting the characteristics of the day of the week, and periodically setting a unique processing area of the personal gateway to promote stable operation of the personal gateway. In case of temporarily requesting the processing of exceeding processing data capacity, use the common gateway allocation area to temporarily store the corresponding personal data to suspend the processing, increase the processing capacity of the private gateway, and process the data processing and future continuous inflow data. I mean.

2, the gateway 21 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a determination unit 22, a communication unit 23, a storage unit 24, an area allocation unit 25, and a control unit 26. Can be.

The determination unit 22 determines whether data flowing into the gateway 21 from the device 20 (s) is data requiring personal authentication. The determination of whether the imported data requires personal authentication can be made, for example, by checking whether the imported data contains the SSID. In addition, the determination unit 22 confirms the size and format of the data introduced by the device 20 to process the appropriately introduced data or transmit a non-processing message to the device 20 as described below.

The communication unit 23 performs functions of various data transfer and control signal transmission between the device 20 (s) and the network domain 27.

The storage unit 24 stores programs for controlling the overall operation of the gateway 21, and when it is determined that data exceeding the processing capacity of the personal gateway area is flowing into the gateway from the device, the storage unit 24 stores the processing capacity of the personal gateway area. Temporarily store excess data for processing after augmentation.

The area allocating unit 25 calculates the regular processing preparation capacity of the personal gateway and allocates the personal gateway area and the common gateway area. In addition, when data exceeding the capacity that can be processed in the allocated personal gateway area is temporarily introduced from the device 20 (s), the area allocator 25 is the personal gateway among the data flowing into the personal gateway area. It extends the processing capacity of the personal gateway area to process the data temporarily stored in the storage unit 24 in excess of the usual processing capacity of the area.

The control unit 26 stores the data flowing from the device 20 (s) by the type and size of data flowing from the device 20 (s), private and public gateway area allocation, reallocation of the personal gateway area, and the like. All components as described above of the gateway 21 are controlled so as to be properly transmitted to (27).

3 is a flowchart illustrating a data processing method in a gateway according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, when data flows from the device to the gateway (step 31), it is determined whether the data that is imported requires data for personal authentication, for example, whether the SSID is included in the data (step 32).

If the data introduced in step 32 is not the data with the SSID, for example, the data is processed in the common gateway area (step 33). In this case, it is determined whether the incoming data has a size and specification that can be handled in the pre-allocated public gateway zone (step 34), and if the size and specification that can not be handled in the pre-allocated public gateway zone are not processed, To terminate the session by sending a message to the device (step 35), and if the size and size are handled in the pre-allocated public gateway area, transfer the corresponding data to the network domain using the public gateway area. The session is terminated after proceeding with the proper processing procedure (step 36).

If the incoming data in step 32 is the data having the SSID, the incoming data is processed in the personal gateway area (step 41).

In this case, the size of the incoming data is compared with the processing capacity of the pre-allocated personal gateway area to determine whether it can be processed immediately in the pre-allocated personal gateway area (step 42).

If it is determined in step 42 that processing is possible immediately in the pre-allocated private gateway area, authentication and appropriate processing procedures are performed on the incoming data (step 43).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 42 that data of a capacity that cannot be processed immediately in the pre-allocated private gateway area flows, only the data of the capacity that can be processed in the pre-allocated personal data area is processed and the remaining capacity data is stored in the common gateway area. Store in temporary storage (step 44). The process then extends some or all of the area of the public gateway to the personal gateway area to process the data stored in the temporary store (step 45).

Subsequently, the temporary stored data is transmitted to the extended personal gateway area in the temporarily stored order (step 46), and authentication and appropriate processing procedures are performed on the data transmitted to the extended personal gateway area (step 43).

The type of data flowing into the personal gateway according to the present invention may include data of a size and specification that can be processed in real time in a personal gateway, data that exceeds or exceeds the processing scale of a personal gateway, a size that can be processed in a common gateway area, and It can be divided into four types of data of size and specification that cannot be processed and accommodated in the function of common data and common gateway area.

Therefore, it is desirable to give a separate processing process according to the nature and situation of each data, and to adjust and reset the area of the personal gateway based on the data inflow amount. In the case of the standard data or the common data of the size and function that can be processed in the common gateway area, the data can be accommodated within the area range separated from each gateway. Therefore, in the normal situation as shown in steps 36 and 43 of FIG. Proceed with data acceptance and processing procedures.

However, in the case of data of size and standard that cannot be processed and accommodated in the public gateway area, it is preferable not to accept and not receive data by transmitting an unprocessable message when searching and accessing as shown in step 35 of FIG. 3. Do.

In the case of data that exceeds the processing scale of the personal gateway or cannot be processed in real time, as described below, the data corresponds to data exceeding the processing capacity of the gateway at the same time as described below. It is desirable to implement temporary storage in the gateway area and to store the data after the expansion of the personal gateway area. The reason for the resource redistribution by expanding the processing capacity of the personal gateway without simply processing the temporary storage, that is, processing the excess processing capacity after the temporary delay, is immediately or immediately after the data exceeding the capacity of the private gateway. Since there is a high probability that the same amount of data will be introduced again later, this is to ensure that the subsequent data is processed quickly without delay in data processing. After the expansion of the area of the personal gateway is completed, it is preferable to proceed with the processing procedure in the order in which the temporarily stored data is stored.

Figure 4 shows an example of the logic of the area allocation through the constant processing ready capacity calculation of the personal gateway area according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In order to minimize the idle resources for efficient use of the gateway and to set up features for clear separation of private / public gateway areas, the personal gateway calculates the default processing capacity every seven days (one week), for example, reflecting the day of the week characteristics of the device. Can be set. In the example shown in FIG. 4, if the average amount of data 42 flowing into the personal use for 7 days and the highest traffic inflow 41 during the same time during the 7 days are as shown, for example, the same weights (0.5) are respectively applied. It is preferable to apply the calculated capacity to the always ready processing capacity 43 of the personal gateway area of the next week. In addition, the processing capacity 44 of the gateway may be set as the capacity for common data processing, except for the regular preparation processing capacity 43 of the personal gateway.

As such, for example, by classifying the processing capacity and resources of the personal gateway in advance by reflecting the gateway usage pattern of the device according to the characteristics of the day of the week, stabilizing the processing process of the personal gateway that must go through authentication of devices and data, application of security modules, etc. It is possible to classify and process public and personal data flowing in real time accurately and quickly.

According to the present invention, an external device that is not predefined, that is, a device that transmits data that does not require personal authentication, can search and process the capacity of each of the neighboring public gateways and the personal gateway having the public gateway area. Information can be sent to a gateway or private gateway to send information to a remote server through that gateway. Alternatively, information sharing among devices, reception of control commands from a remote server, and a user may be performed.

In addition, before transmitting information using a private gateway assigned a public gateway area, an external device may query the free processing capacity of the corresponding private gateway to determine whether the data can be transmitted by comparing with the amount of data to be transmitted from the device. have. However, when data transfer from the personal gateway suddenly increases due to a sudden increase in the personal device, or a temporary storage area in the public gateway area or continuous data transfer is not possible due to the increase in the personal gateway area, the event is changed from the personal gateway to the device. The device transmits a message, and the device may change the gateway to transmit or select a transmission delay due to a reduction in data processing capacity.

5A to 5E illustrate an example of a process of accommodating data and an area expansion process of the personal gateway according to the detection of excess data inflow into the personal gateway area according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Screening of data flowing into the private gateway, temporary storage in the public gateway area, area expansion and sequential data processing of the private gateway are performed in real time, and message transmission and area reduction processing to devices using the public gateway area at the same time. It is desirable to minimize the loss or delay of incoming data for the purpose of using a personal gateway.

First, as illustrated in FIG. 5A, when personal data having a capacity that can be processed in the personal gateway area 50 flows from the device 52 requiring personal authentication, the personal data that is normally introduced is processed and shared. The gateway area 51 processes data introduced from a device (not shown) that does not require personal authentication.

Afterwards, for example, as shown in FIG. 5B, for example, an increase in the number of personal devices (52, 53, etc.) or an abnormal situation occurs under a control system of a specific smart home (security, security, etc.), and thus the assigned personal gateway area. If data exceeding the flow rate is exceeded, as shown in FIG. 5C, a temporary storage space 55 for processing personal data is created and stored in the common gateway area.

Next, as shown in 5d, the capacity 55 for the personal gateway area for processing data stored in the temporary storage 55 is increased, and the personal data stored in the temporary storage is sequentially processed in the stored order (Fig. 5E). ).

On the other hand, if the processing request data volume to the private gateway area is too large, and all the capacity allocated to the public gateway area is converted to the private gateway capacity and the processing cannot be performed at the same time, the event message is delivered to the corresponding device. By identifying and adjusting the data inflow rate, data can be delayed to reduce the speed but can be processed without loss of data.

Embodiments of the present invention can be applied in the following cases.

First, when using an e-Health device such as a blood glucose meter, a blood pressure monitor, a heart rate monitor, or the like that requires a high level of security in a home (smart home), when the user returns after a long-time shift, The present invention may be usefully applied when elastic adjustment of the private gateway area and the public gateway area is required, such as an increase in data inflow due to an increase or an abnormal situation.

In addition, personal data as security data used as a control of a house (or building) under a control system of a specific smart home (security, security, etc.) need to process minimal data unless an abnormal situation usually occurs. Therefore, it does not require a large amount of private gateway processing power in general, and most of them can be opened to the public gateway area for use by general users or members. However, when an abnormal situation such as an intrusion, fire, earthquake, power cut / single, or network disconnection occurs in the house or building, and the data of the same time is rapidly increased, the present invention is required to efficiently process the data while operating the gateway efficiently. Area allocation techniques and emergency area control processes can be used as appropriate.

In addition, if a dual mode gateway that provides gateway functions to both public and private devices is using most of the processing capacity allocated to the shared device, even if the data generated by the private device is not large, There is a need to regulate data processing. Therefore, the application of a technique for temporarily limiting and reducing the use of the public device by temporarily increasing the private gateway area by granting the expansion of the virtual private data processing capacity to the gateway is implemented flexibly according to the present invention without any additional equipment or operation. Can be.

According to the present invention, when a furniture and a building that does not have a gateway or a mobile device of a mobile device and a portable device need to process information and receive a control command by using the gateway, the user of the device is a gateway installed in a physically private area around the user. In addition to the high availability, it also reduces the costs associated with installing a gateway and using telecommunication traffic.

In addition, according to the present invention, the gateway installer having installed the gateway can be used by dividing the idle resources of the pre-installed gateway for other people or public interests to provide a variety of business models that can be charged or discounted for the use of the equipment and traffic You can get it.

In particular, when the gateway of the present invention is widely used in the utilization of mobile devices, and a nationwide network is formed, it is possible to provide continuous service by sharing the resources of the personal gateways without installing a telecommunication module, thereby reducing the production cost. And it is expected to activate the production and industry of portable devices.
