[Prior Art] Since the network has become the main & information and community media reading, there is a problem that the transmission protocol and the data format must support each other between the devices and devices connected through the network, with the terminal device and the application server. For example, if the terminal device wants to access the server, it must cooperate with the transmission protocol and data format of the server. From another perspective, the application server must support the terminal (4) in order to perform normal operation. Data transmission. Based on the previous practice of the network association, it is necessary to modify the compliant device or the terminal device to have the cooperation; t and the data conversion function. Even so, the two parties still need to cooperate, and only one side has the aforementioned functions, and still cannot achieve mutual compatibility. purpose.

The conversion function of the agreement or data 'reaches the purpose of referral transmission. As various network technologies continue to evolve, the information medium that terminal devices may face is no longer a single type, but many different kinds of network protocols, such as the Internet, closed digital TV networks (such as M〇D). ), ngN / "MS network, etc. Faced with these different kinds of networks, the application of service agents will become more important and common. Furthermore, due to different communication protocols and architectures, the 201109871 mode of information transmission is also different. In general, the Internet is used as the 'net, and the user/speaker must link to the information of the URL of the active website. If we define this mode to be/after/received as synchronous transmission, then the website will respond to the requirements of the terminal device when it responds to the terminal device. (4) Coordination - * /, and 刖 4 hours transmission and The =Γ:ί: structure used for phase-by-step transmission is usually different, so if you want to use the word processor, you must have another communication mechanism to support it. The non-synchronous transmission of the service agent that acts as a conversion agent between the responder and the server is one of the functional items supported. It can be seen from the above that 'there are kinds of heterogeneous network protocols between the current terminal equipment and the application feeders'. In order to fulfill the functions of conversion and communication, the service 0 benefits must meet the requirements of different communication protocols, but each type of terminal equipment Different, the types of communication protocols required by them are different, so that once a terminal device of a new type (such as a set-top box for Internet TV) comes out, it adds a new communication protocol 'on the side of the service agent unless Substantial modifications, or the replacement of new service agents, otherwise the requirements of the terminal device cannot be supported, but the development of a new service agent for a specific terminal device or application server is obviously huge and costly. Therefore, it is necessary to further review and seek a viable solution to the aforementioned problems. [Summary of the Invention] Therefore, the main purpose of this month is to provide a modular service agent. Mainly, the July Department of Service, based on the characteristics of the terminal device and/or the application server, is composed of a plurality of different functions.

The main technical means to achieve the above objectives is to make a modular service agent pirate including more than one action to connect the terminal device. a module and a service control module connected to the application server; wherein the action execution module performs the following steps: a request sent by the party terminal device; executing the 5-node service control module, and retrieving the obtained data; The service control module converts the data into a format accepted by the terminal device; responds to the requesting terminal device; and the service control module performs the following steps: The request of the action execution module; the parameter of the conversion S-substance is the format accepted by the application server; the request is sent to the application server; and the data responded by the application server is returned to the action execution module. The action execution module and the service control module are basically configured. The action execution module corresponds to the terminal device, and the service control module corresponds to the application (4) device, so that the supported terminal & n 'Select the corresponding action execution module and service control group to form a service agent, thereby facilitating the development of a new service agent state 'other service agent' - newly added terminal device and application servo The state can be easily expanded to support different terminal devices to access the application word 201109871 through the action execution module and/or service control core group corresponding to the new one.
