Description of the invention () Domain: (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This invention is about advanced intelligent type The field of networking, especially about the service application architecture of intelligent network service providers. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: The development of an open web application programming interface (Αρι) represents an important watershed in the traditional approach to opening the public switched telephone network (PSTN) architecture. An example of such an open network API, namely "Advanced Intelligent Network API and Architecture, can define a call model, which can generate telecommunication service applications outside the exchange environment. Telecom service applications are packaged telecommunication applications. Enhanced service items can be performed for a telecommunication session established at two or more ends. Example service applications may include "call waiting", "sender ID", "call forwarding", "voice initiated dialing" "," Video conference. " Printed by the Consumers' Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs When AIN was first introduced, the service application was used to generate a program method. ’This AIN architecture really represents a significant progress. AIN separates service development from the exchange operation, enabling faster development and placement of each service logic element at a specific network element attached to the database. Switches that are freed from all service logic can be optimized for speed and efficiency. However, the typical service application developed according to the AIN specification uses a special service to generate the environment and is written by a specially trained programmer in a specific language. It is important that the future telecommunication network is characterized by a new and evolving network architecture, which will integrate packet switching, circuit switching and wireless networks to provide users with new multimedia memory and multi-terminal application systems. Equally important is that it is now expected that the program method by which telecommunications applications will be developed will be on page 5. This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) A7 B7 1226771 V. Description of the invention () (Please read first Note on the back, fill out this page again), and it is no longer the domain that belongs only to the telecommunications network or service application provider. In fact, in order to quickly provide a wide range of new and competitive product combinations, service application providers will increasingly turn to third-party application developers and software vendors. In this way, the application and development of the telecommunications field will be more similar to software and information technology in a broad sense. With continuous development, customers will gain the benefits of heated competition, faster time to market, and rapid use of new technologies. In order to realize these visions, the development principle of new service application components is favored by abandoning the AIN principle. In detail, it is now recognized that the future integrated network must be able to provide application developer standards and open API sets, so that applications written according to one vendor's system can indeed be used by another vendor's Executed under the system. As a result, the cost of application development can be amortized and the final cost of the consumer can be reduced. Integrated Web Java API (JAIN) meets the requirements of the development paradigm of new service application components. Currently, JAIN includes standard, open, and published Java APIs for next-generation systems consisting of integrated Internet Protocol (IP) or asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks, PSTN, and wireless networks. The JAIN API includes protocol-level interfaces based on different protocols, such as the “Media Gate Control Protocol (MGCP)”, “Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)” and “Transaction Function Application Part (TCAP)” and resides in telecommunications protocols Agreements higher in the stack. Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau employee consumer cooperative of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, JAIN includes a set of integrated network APIs and an environment for the Java platform. This environment can construct and integrate various JfAIN components, and can operate across PSTN, packets and wireless networks Services or applications. JAIN's approach is to integrate wired, wireless, and packet-based networks by distinguishing between service-based logic and network-based logic. Figure 1 illustrates a traditional JAIN implementation. That is, as shown in Figure 1, the traditional JAIN implementation can contain an agreement. Page 6 This paper is sized for the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm) A7 B7 1226771 V. Description of the invention () (Please read first Note on the back, fill out this page again) Layer 102, which contains interfaces to IP, wired, and wireless signaling protocols. Although only TCAP, JCC, and H.323 protocols 11 are shown in the figure, the protocols supported by the JAIN specification are not limited to special-purpose protocols, but may include, for example, TCAP, ISUP, INAP, MAP, MGCP, and H. 323. Furthermore, jain implementations may include interfaces to connection management and call control protocols such as JCC. In addition to the protocol layer 102, this traditional JAIN implementation may also include an application layer 104 that handles secure network access and other external services 102. Moreover, the traditional JAIN implementation may include a service logic layer 106, which may include a service production and telecommunications operator-level service logic execution environment (SLEE) 108. The service components 112 are core JAIN components and can be executed in the SLEE 108. In particular, these service components 112 can implement messaging and network services, and can be constructed according to a standard component model. Some service component group device examples can be executed in parallel with the SLEE 108. In the printing operation of the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, using the information about the agreement layer 102 that can be incorporated into the SLEE 108, these service elements 112 can interact with the underlying agreement stack 11 without having to specifically understand the Agreement stack 11〇. More importantly, the SLEE 1 08 can release these service elements 112 by providing portable support for transaction items, persistence, load balancing, security and object and connection instance pooling, etc. Due to traditional life cycle responsibilities. In this manner, the service elements 112 may focus on providing voice and / or network services. It should be noted that the protocol stack 110 can be directly linked to client components by the communication method, such as external application 116, protocol stack 1 10 and service component 1 12. For example, the service elements 112 executed at the service logic layer 106 in the SLEE 108 may communicate with the protocol stack 110 in the protocol layer through the protocol adapter in the SLEE 108. Agreement adapter usually page 7 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 1226771 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () Can include category method, return call, package interface or event handler . In many cases, the underlying protocol stack can directly communicate with the SLEE 108 via the event table 114 in the SLEE 108. The table can be configured to calibrate the processing specific to the underlying protocol stack 1 1 0 event. Thus, the SLEE 108 can recognize these specific events, and when receiving such events from the underlying protocol stack 110, the SLEE 108 can pass the events to the subscription service element 1 1 2 . At the same time, the service components 1 12 can be individually programmed to interact with specific external services 1 2 0 such as a relational database, a catalog service, and the like. Although the JAIN specification has significant advantages as mentioned above, the implementation of the traditional JAIN specification does have disadvantages, especially in real-time messaging applications. First, the SLEE implementation of the traditional JAIN specification was incorporated into the Enterprise Javabean® (EJB) approach, which would include unnecessary system care transactions, such as life cycle responsibilities. However, life-cycle responsibility is not as critical for the area of instant messaging as it is for other areas of communication. Therefore, the use of EJB will introduce too much delay to meet the needs of real-time operations. In addition, 'to allow service elements to reduce the complexity of their protocol stacks, SLEE will require specific knowledge of the underlying protocol stacks, as can be seen from the corresponding event table', and this table can be used to assist SLEE with the underlying protocol stacks. Communication. However, the inclusion of client-specific component information in SLEE adds unnecessary complexity to SLEE. From a life cycle maintenance perspective, this does cause problems. At the same time, including client component information in SLEE will unnecessarily attach SLEE directly to specific client components. Finally, attaching SLEE directly to specific customer components requires that the application layer, the protocol layer, and the service logic layer be placed next to each other for computational operations. Communication with the service components in SLEE for external applications will also appear on page 8.

In particular, the external application design must be planned from the attachment to the service components with which these external applications can communicate with each other in the SLEE. This problem is compounded when external applications are interspersed across computer communication networks such as the Internet. Therefore, any attempt to integrate various services or other available functions through the Internet, including the World Wide Web, must be implemented using a personal, private property system. It can be noted that in accordance with the JAIN specification, the development of wireless service applications will require understanding of many different communication interfaces and protocols for accessing wireless services. For example, there are different protocols that support wireless network applications. These agreements include "Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)", "General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)", "Enhanced Data GSm Environment (EDGE)", "Global System for Mobile Telecommunications (UTMS)" "" WAP) "," Mobile Access Protocol (MAP) ", and i-Mode. To develop a wireless service application, the developer must be familiar with the specific wireless protocol interface corresponding to the wireless service or function being incorporated into the wireless service application to be developed. For example, WAP is a set of specifications that can standardize wireless device communications. In this way, anyone who wants to develop a service application for a wireless service of a handheld device 'will need at least a general understanding of WAP to successfully develop such a service application. Similarly, a service application developer who intends to propose an application service that can provide interactive use of a website via a wireless handheld device will likely need to be familiar with GPRS, which can provide a higher data rate than WAP. Solutions such as GPRS and WAP can provide interoperability between various devices and services, and minimize the use of private solutions. However, in order to develop various wireless service applications, developers must be familiar with various types of wireless protocols.

Description of the invention () Setting and interface. Therefore, the number of personnel with the necessary expertise for different wireless communication protocols and interfaces is extremely limited. (Please read the notes on the back before writing this page.) Similar to the difficulties in developing wireless service applications, the development of telecommunications service applications will also require understanding of the many differences between service applications and the service month b. Communication interfaces and protocols. For example, service applications such as call blocking or call forwarding, in addition to the service components used to access the call model, will require access to a directory service or other private attribute database to facilitate Access information to implement the call model. However, access directory services will require specific knowledge of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). In contrast, access to any particular database will require knowledge DB2, MQSeries, or other private database access agreement. Often, the knowledge required to implement a wireless application using a particular agreement will be extremely professional, or even only one person in a given organization will have the necessary expertise. This This kind of personnel dilemma often means that each time a specific wireless format must be developed to develop a solution, and the solution is not easily translated into a different wireless format or protocol In addition, since programmers will be extremely professional, converting a service application to another format or agreement will generally require other people with expertise in this target format or agreement. This is printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, The highly professional nature of voice service application development will result in higher development expenditures and longer design cycles. In addition, the complexity involved will make it extremely difficult to recover and maintain systems, features, and applications. For example, due to The protocols and logic necessary to access the functionality of a particular service are incorporated into this service application to be developed, so any change to its underlying protocol will require the entire service application to be redesigned. In summary, wireless The highly professional nature of service application development will result in higher development expenditures and longer design cycles. In addition, the complexity involved will be on page 10. This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) A7 B7 1226771 V. Description of the invention It becomes extremely difficult. Therefore, for integrated network service providers, a more flexible service application architecture is indeed needed. Purpose and summary of the invention: The present invention is a flexible service application architecture suitable for integrated service providers. The present invention can solve the prior art defects by providing more direct service element event processing and by reducing the protocol stack specific code contained in the service logic execution environment (SLEE). In addition, the present invention can be borrowed The specific client component information is removed from the S LEE, and a connector / wrapper communication interface is replaced for this purpose to solve the prior art defect. Therefore, SLEE can be transmitted through the connector / wrapper interface. Communicate with the receiver 'without paying attention to the implementation details of the underlying client components. Therefore, the arrangement of the present invention can reduce the complexity of SLEE. In addition, a SLEE arranged in accordance with the present invention does not need to be directly attached to a specific client component. Finally, the architecture of the present invention may include general service components that are configured to communicate with specific external services, while providing a general interface to other service components executing within the SLEE. In this way, a service element, such as a voice service element, executed in the SLEE can request a general service element, that is, an external service such as a database operation. In response to receiving a general request for an external service, the general service element may enable one or more functions corresponding to the specific external service to provide the requested external service to the requesting voice service element. Therefore, the voice service component does not need to incorporate specific code for a specific external service.

Description of the invention () Detailed description of the invention: The present invention is a flexible service application architecture suitable for integrated service providers. The architecture can be similar to the Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) architecture because the additive architecture has a protocol layer, a service logic layer, and an application layer. According to the arrangement of the present invention, the architecture of the present invention may include a service logic execution environment (SLEE) in the service logic layer. Note that the SLEE can be a JAIN-compliant SLEE. The SLEE may include an event routing cable for routing and processing of events between service elements in the service logic layer, and client elements in the protocol layer and the application layer. In particular, the speech service element running in the SLEE can be configured to communicate with client components in the protocol layer and other service components in the service logic layer through the event routing of the SLEE. Finally, the connector can be linked to the SLEE through a connector / wrapper interface. Incorporating SLEE according to the configuration of the present invention can provide an event routing line that facilitates event communication between components of services, so as to solve the prior art defects. By providing more direct service component event communication, the inherent latency of the EJB approach related to the JAIN specification will be reduced. And, unlike the traditional implementation of SLEE, the service element only has to receive and process from a client element, such as a protocol stack, and receive events through the SLEE. In the present invention, the service element can also receive and process Events from other service elements. In this way, an advanced combination of service elements can be produced to form an overall service element. Also, each service element can be constructed to incorporate specific knowledge of a specific agreement stack. Therefore, specific knowledge of the specific agreement stack can be removed from the SLEE, thereby reducing the complexity of the SLEE. Therefore, in the SLEE of the present invention, a new type of protocol stack can be added to the intelligent network without rewriting page 16.

Once they are dynamically inserted into the SLEE, other service components can access the new protocol stack through the inserted service components through the event routing cable. Unlike the prior art intelligent network, which cannot perform inter-service component communication, the present invention indeed simplifies the addition of new protocol stacks due to inter-service component communication. The architecture of the present invention also includes a connector / wrapper interface for bonding the SLEE communication to client components in the protocol layer. The connector / wrapper interface between the SLEE and each client component in the protocol layer can also provide a configurable connection through a general interface connected to a specific client component to help solve the problem. Technical issues without having to attach the client component to the SLEE. Different from the traditional implementation of SLEE, in which the SLEE will be directly attached to the client component with which the SLEE communicates, in the present invention, the slee and the client element need not be placed adjacent to each other. Conversely, SLEE and client components can be placed across a network if needed. In this way, a more flexible association between client components and SLEE can be established, which will help maintain and strengthen SLEE during the life cycle maintenance process. In addition, specific knowledge of specific client components can be removed and included from $ slee instead of within the interface of the client component. Therefore, the complexity of SLEE can be reduced. Finally, the architecture of the present invention may include general service elements to provide specific features.

The application layer 205 may host other external third-party application 208. A typical third-party application 208 can provide services for mass market needs, such as virtual private networks (VPNs), intranet services, and joint messaging services. External third-party applications 2008 can also include short-term and niche applications that can be deployed using untrusted application space deployment technologies, and these technologies include things like database checking interfaces, downloadable mechanisms, and the Parlay API. That is, as everyone in the industry knows. Finally, specific external services 2 2 0, such as database services, directory services, and wireless services, can be included in the application layer 2 05. The service logic layer 207 may include a SLEE server, such as the JSLEE server 200, which can be configured to be compatible with the jAIN specification. Importantly, the JSLEE server 200 may include an event routing cable 218. The event routing cable 218 can receive and transmit messages between the service elements 203, 204, and 205. In particular, the 'service element 2 0 3, 2 0 4, 2 0 5 can be configured to publish a message to the event routing line 2 1 8 and the service element 203, 204, 205 can report to the JSLEE server 200. Sign in to receive these events that have been published from other service elements 203, 204, 205. In this way, component communication between services can be performed. Finally, the service components 203, 204, and 205 can be configured to receive events from the external application 208 through the event routing cable 218. At the same time, these events received from the external application 2008 and published on the event line 2 18 will be routed and passed to other service elements 2 03, which are already registered to receive these events. 18 pages of this paper size are applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297 public love) ..........

Description of Invention () 204, 205. The service elements 203, 204, and 205 include a voice service element 204, a general service element 203, and an Internet service element 205. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the performance of the voice service component 204 of the TSLEE server 200 once it is configured and configured. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the voice service component 204 may contain one or more service instances 302. Here, each service instance 302 can be instantiated in an individual manner and executed in the LSLEE 200. More importantly, each service instance 3 02 can register to the event routing line 2 1 8 to receive and send events to the protocol layer 202 and other message and general service components 203, 204, 205. The service wrapper 306 receives each service instance 302, which can isolate the details of the implementation of each service instance. More specifically, the service can be accessed through the shared interface included in the service wrapper 306. Category data and method members. Here, a deployment descriptor 3 1 0 can also be provided. The deployment descriptor 3 10 may be a file, such as an XML file, which may describe some suitable parameters for initially loading a service element instance 302 into the JSLEE server 200. Note that an interface connected to the service wrapper 306 can be published to an external object through a service interface 308, and the interface 308 can be included as a part of the XML document, for example. Similarly, the interface for each service instance 302 can be included as a part of the context interface 304, and it can be published as an example as a part of the XML file. Once loaded, each service instance 302 communicates with each other through the event routing cable 2 18 in the JSLEE server 2000. In order to avoid including the code in the voice service element 204 to access specific external services 220 such as private attributes and related database services and directory services, the general service element 203 can be incorporated into the framework of the present invention .

More specifically, the page size of this JSLEE page 25 is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) · Installation-Ordering · Ministry of Economy Wisdom Printed by the Consumer Affairs Cooperative of the Property Bureau 1226771 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) The event routing and routing line 2 1 8 in the server 2000 sends and receives events. The voice service element 204 and the general service element 203 may be registered as listeners for certain specific events received on the event routing line 2 18. The service elements 203, 204, 205 registered by the JSLEE server 200 may receive a protocol stack event directed to a specific one of the service elements 203, 204, 205. At the same time, the service elements 203, 204, 205 may receive service element events directed to a specific one of the service elements 203, 204, 205. More specifically, the event routing line 2 1 8 of the JS LEE server 200 can route the received events to the service elements 203, 204, 205 that register with the JSLEE server 200 to receive these events. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs According to the arrangement of the present invention, the JS LEE server 200 can be configured to communicate with client components in a JAIN-compatible intelligent network. The client components may include not only the protocol stack 206, but also other service components 203, 204, 205, specific external services 220, and external applications 208. What is important is that the JSLEE server 200 can be configured without special knowledge of the implementation of each client component. To achieve this, the jSLEE server 200 may include a connector 210 capable of communicating with the wrapper 216, thereby forming a connector / wrapper interface. The wrapper 216 can provide the connector 210 with an abstract interface for a specific client component, such as the protocol stack 206. Each connector 21 can be configured to communicate with the corresponding client component, such as the protocol stack 206, through the abstract interface provided by the corresponding wrapper 216. If so, in general, the JSLEE server 200 can generally send and receive events through the connector / wrapper interface without having to implement the details of the underlying client components that are imaged as the protocol stack 206. Conversely, only the wrapper 216 will require a detailed implementation of the underlying agreement stack 206, page 26, paper size, SS standard (CNS) A4 specification, X297 public love)-1226771 A7 B7 Ministry of Economy Intellectual Property Bureau employee consumer cooperatives printed specific knowledge of Section V of the Invention. In one feature of the present invention, a JSLEE descriptor 2 1 4 may be included. This item indicates a wrapper 216 that is individually and correspondingly connectable 2 1 0 can be configured to communicate with each other. In particular, at the beginning, the JSLEE server 200 can read the jslEe descriptor 2 1 4 to know the identification data of each calibration wrapper 2 1 6. The JSLEE server 200 can then be configured to set the connector 210 to communicate with the calibrated wrapper 216. Likewise, a client component descriptor 212 may be provided for each connector 210. The client component descriptors 212 may indicate that the event routing line 218 of the JS LEE server 200 will notify the client component of the protocol stack 206 of certain specific events. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method for linking a SLEE communication to a client component in a smart_type contact 4 application execution environment. The method starts at block 602, where SLEE will be loaded. In block 604, a SLEE descriptor is loaded. In decision block 606, if a client component is calibrated, a connector instance will be generated in block 608 and configured to communicate with the wrapper associated with that particular client component . In block 6 10, a subscription descriptor related to the configuration setting connector can be loaded, and in block 6 12 the specific client component can be registered in the event handler in SLEE, To receive these events listed in the subscription descriptor. Then, in block 614, if additional client components are listed in the SLEE descriptor, an additional connector instance will be generated and configured according to blocks 608 to 6 1 2. Finally, once all the connector instances have been generated and configured, the SLEE can be started in step 616, and events will be routed to the registered client components through the connector / wrapper interface, and It is not necessary to understand the underlying implementation of individual client components.
