遠端訊息溝通系統以及其連線方法 Remote communication system and its connection method

一種遠端訊息溝通系統以及其連線方法,特別是利用一管理伺服器指引至少一遠端設備、連線伺服器以及近端設備連線目標的系統以及連線方法。 A remote message communication system and a connection method thereof, in particular, a system for guiding at least one remote device, a connection server, and a near-end device connection target by using a management server, and a connection method.

由於網路技術發展快速,許多電子產品可透過與網路連接而具有遠端監控、線上更新或其他業者所提供的線上服務功能。例如美國專利US 6,373,851號專利,該前案揭示了一種利用乙太網路控制電子裝置的技術。揭示了一通訊系統包含一第一傳輸媒介(first communicating medium)、一乙太網路伺服器(ethernet polling server)以及複數乙太網路設備端(ethernet client stations)。其中該乙太網路伺服器包含一連接該第一傳輸媒介的傳輸器,該傳輸器與該第一傳輸媒介雙向的傳輸信號。而複數乙太網路設備端相互連接,且該些乙太網路設備端各具有一傳輸器,該傳輸器包含一第二傳輸媒介,該第二傳輸媒介只有在該乙太網路伺服器提出要求時才傳輸一訊號給該第一傳輸媒介,但該第二傳輸媒介隨時可接收該第一傳輸媒介發出的信號。US 6,373,851號專利是基於交通管控設備以及受到乙太網路最低傳輸速率(minimun rate)以及建議最大傳輸距離(maximun recommended distance)所限制。因此該前案提出前述的設計而提供較大的可傳輸範圍,並避免設備端傳輸相互衝突(collisions)及延遲(delay)。 Due to the rapid development of network technology, many electronic products can be connected to the Internet with remote monitoring, online updates or online services provided by other operators. For example, U.S. Patent No. 6,373,851, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. A communication system is disclosed that includes a first communication medium, an ethernet polling server, and a plurality of ethernet client stations. The Ethernet server includes a transmitter connected to the first transmission medium, and the transmitter transmits a signal bidirectionally with the first transmission medium. And the plurality of Ethernet device terminals are connected to each other, and each of the Ethernet device devices has a transmitter, the transmitter includes a second transmission medium, and the second transmission medium is only in the Ethernet server. A signal is transmitted to the first transmission medium when requested, but the second transmission medium can receive the signal from the first transmission medium at any time. US 6,373,851 is based on traffic control equipment and is limited by the minimum transmission rate of the Ethernet and the recommended maximun recommended distance. Therefore, the foregoing proposal proposes the aforementioned design to provide a larger transmittable range and avoid collision and delay of device-side transmission.

近端設備與設備端透過網際網路連線為已普遍使用的技術,若要推廣家電產品上網,家電產品還需牽設網路線將造成線路複雜,增加施工麻煩。因此另有利用電力網路做為通訊網路的技術,如美國第US2005/0047379號先行公開專利,該前案揭示了一種利用寬頻無線/ 電力線通訊系統傳輸影音內容的技術。其中一資料伺服器(content server)接收了影音訊息後,轉換為PLC相容訊號,其中PLC代表了電力線傳輸(Power-line communication)。並且該前案提供了一電力傳輸/寬頻無線傳輸模組(PLC/UWB module),並透過該電力傳輸/寬頻無線與一電氣裝置的訊號收發器建立資料連線。因此,該電氣裝置可接收網路訊息而受遠端監控,並且係透過電力線傳輸,不需再牽設網路線。 The connection between the near-end device and the device end through the Internet is a commonly used technology. If the home appliance product is to be promoted, the home appliance product needs to be routed to cause complicated wiring and increase construction trouble. Therefore, another technology that utilizes a power network as a communication network, such as the US Patent No. US2005/0047379, discloses a patent that utilizes broadband wireless/ Power line communication system technology for transmitting audio and video content. One of the data servers receives the video and audio message and converts it into a PLC compatible signal. The PLC represents Power-line communication. And the former case provides a power transmission/broadband wireless transmission module (PLC/UWB module), and establishes a data connection with the signal transceiver of an electrical device through the power transmission/broadband wireless. Therefore, the electrical device can receive the network message and be remotely monitored, and transmitted through the power line, without the need to pull the network route.

同樣使用電力線提供傳輸的技術還包括美國第US 2004/0186908號先行公開專利,該前案揭示了一電力插頭內包含交流電力線、一網路資料線以及一電力線網路適配器。該前案的另一實施態樣中,該電力插頭除了交流電力線、網路資料線、電力線網路適配器以外還包括一交流-直流轉換元件。 A technique for providing transmission using a power line also includes a prior art patent of US 2004/0186908, which discloses a power plug including an AC power line, a network data line, and a power line network adapter. In another embodiment of the prior invention, the power plug includes an AC-DC conversion component in addition to the AC power line, the network data line, and the power line network adapter.

而該類電力線傳輸技術運用在安全監視系統的先前技術如中華人民共和國授權公告第CN 100389602號「攝像系統及攝像控制方法」。該前案揭示了一攝像模塊連接一電力線通信攝像適配模塊,該電力線通信攝像適配模塊接收該攝像模塊所錄下的音/視頻信息,並將該音/視頻信息調制後輸入電源線進行傳輸。同時,對電源線傳輸的調制信號進行解調而獲得控制信號,利用該控制信號對該攝像模塊進行控制。而該電力線通信攝像適配模塊包括一攝像信號處理單元、一數字多媒體信息壓縮處理單元、一乙太網適配單元、一第一電力線通信調制解調單元。其中該攝像信號處理單元、數字多媒體信息壓縮處理單元係壓縮或轉換該攝像模塊所輸出的影像訊號格式。而該乙太網適配單元進一步轉換為乙太網信號,該第一電力線通信調制解調單元將該乙太網信號加載至電力載波上進行傳輸。藉由前述的結構,該攝像模塊的影音訊號可透過電力線傳輸到監控端。 This type of power line transmission technology is applied to the prior art of the security surveillance system, such as the "Camera System and Camera Control Method" of the People's Republic of China Authorized Notice No. CN 100389602. The foregoing case discloses that a camera module is connected to a power line communication camera adapting module, and the power line communication camera adapting module receives the audio/video information recorded by the camera module, and modulates the audio/video information and inputs the power line. transmission. At the same time, the modulation signal transmitted by the power line is demodulated to obtain a control signal, and the camera module is controlled by the control signal. The power line communication camera adaptation module includes an image signal processing unit, a digital multimedia information compression processing unit, an Ethernet adapter unit, and a first power line communication modulation and demodulation unit. The image signal processing unit and the digital multimedia information compression processing unit compress or convert the image signal format output by the camera module. The Ethernet adaptation unit is further converted into an Ethernet signal, and the first power line communication modem unit loads the Ethernet signal onto the power carrier for transmission. With the foregoing structure, the video signal of the camera module can be transmitted to the monitoring terminal through the power line.

Various electrical equipment or security alarm devices can be accessed directly through the power line. However, when implementing remote monitoring, the following problems still exist: First, through the conventional network connection means, the electrical devices allocate an IP (possibly fixed IP or floating IP) through a router, and then need to be built. A server accepts the electrical device end and the monitoring end (user end) to exchange data in the server. The problem faced by the conventional architecture is that the monitoring terminal needs to remember the electrical name of the electrical device or the server, or the IP address of the server can be connected. In addition to the memory address, the user or the server needs to be troubled. When expanding the number or changing the address, all the domain name or IP address needs to be updated by the user, which is very troublesome and causes troubles when the system is expanded. Furthermore, since the electrical name or IP address of the electrical device or the server is publicly disclosed, it is susceptible to being recorded or destroyed by the hacker, and the security is insufficient.

In Figure 1, it can be seen that the two management servers 11, 12 form a management server group 1 for mutual backup. The management server 11, 12 stores a device list and a server list, and the device list stores information of a plurality of remote devices that are allowed to log in. The server list stores information about the multiple connection servers. In a specific implementation manner, the server list may include multiple connection servers operated by different service providers, or multiple connection servers with different supported device types, or multiple locations. A different connection server. Further, there is a correspondence between the device list and the server list, which will be described in detail later. In Figure 1 It can be seen that the remote communication system further has a connection server 201 and a connection server 211. In this embodiment, the connection server 201 and the connection server 202 can be belonged to different service providers. Operation. Moreover, it can be seen in FIG. 1 that the connection server 201 can form a connection server group A 20 with another connection server 202 for mutual backup; similarly, the connection server 211 is connected to another connection. The server 212 constitutes a connection server group B 21 to be mutually redundant. In order to facilitate the description of the technology of the present invention, the following connection objects will directly represent the server to which the server group 1 and the connection server group A 20 and the connection server group B 21 belong. The remote communication system further includes a remote device A 31, a remote device B 32, and a remote device C 33. As described above, the device list has information of a plurality of remote devices, and the remote devices A~C 31, 32, and 33 each have their unique serial number (Unique ID), and the remote devices A~C 31 The messages of the service providers to which the 32 and 33 belong are pre-stored in the device list stored in the management server group 1. When the connection server group A 20, the connection server group B 21, and the remote device A 31, a remote device B 32, and a remote device C 33 are connected to the Internet. The connection server group A 20 and the connection server group B 21 transmit a server login information 92 to the management server group 1 via the Internet to log in the address and configuration information (model, connection) Status and other information). The management server group 1 verifies whether the connection server group A 20 and the connection server group B 21 are legitimate devices that are pre-stored in the server list, and if the connection server group A 20 is replied to The connection server group B 21 has been successfully logged in. In order to find a server that can be supported, the remote device A 31 to the remote device C 33 respectively send a server query information 91 to the management server group 1 through the Internet. The management server group 1 After verifying whether the remote device A 31 to the remote device C 33 are pre-stored in the device list, the remote device A 31 to the remote device C 33 respectively reply to the connected target.

在具體的實施態樣中,該連線伺服器群組A 20、連線伺服器群組B 21可能分別為相異服務提供者所營運,因此,該管理伺服器群組1會將遠端設備A 31指派連線到支援遠端設備A 31的服務提供者所營 運的連線伺服器群組A 20。同樣的,基於服務提供者的不同,該遠端設備B 32、遠端設備C 33就由管理伺服器群組1指派連線到支援遠端設備B 32、遠端設備C 33的服務提供者所營運的連線伺服器群組B 21。然而,該遠端訊息溝通系統亦包含了不同的實施方式,該管理伺服器群組1亦可能因為遠端設備A 31至遠端設備C 33為相異的產品類型而分別指派該遠端設備A 31至遠端設備C 33登錄至連線伺服器群組A 20或連線伺服器群組B 21。另一不同實施方式為該管理伺服器群組1還可依據該遠端設備A 31至遠端設備C 33本身的地理位置不同而指派連線到較近的連線伺服器群組A 20或連線伺服器群組B 21。 In a specific implementation manner, the connection server group A 20 and the connection server group B 21 may be operated by different service providers respectively. Therefore, the management server group 1 will be remotely located. Device A 31 assigns a connection to the service provider supporting remote device A 31 Connected server group A 20. Similarly, based on the service provider, the remote device B 32 and the remote device C 33 are assigned by the management server group 1 to the service provider supporting the remote device B 32 and the remote device C 33. The connected server group B 21 that is operated. However, the remote messaging system also includes different implementations. The management server group 1 may also assign the remote device separately because the remote device A 31 to the remote device C 33 are different product types. A 31 to the remote device C 33 log in to the connection server group A 20 or the connection server group B 21 . Another different implementation manner is that the management server group 1 can also be assigned to connect to the closer connection server group A 20 according to the geographical location of the remote device A 31 to the remote device C 33 itself. Connect to server group B 21.

請再參閱圖2,基於管理伺服器群組1回應的連線位址,該遠端設備A 31與該連線伺服器群組A 20連線並登錄該遠端設備A 31的資訊於該連線伺服器群組A 20中。同樣依據該管理伺服器群組1回應的連線位址,該遠端設備B 32、遠端設備C 33連線至該連線伺服器群組B 21,並登錄其本身資訊於該連線伺服器群組B 21中。令該連線伺服器群組A 20得知該遠端設備A 31的網路位址;該連線伺服器群組B 21得知該遠端設備B 32、遠端設備C 33的網路位址。 Referring to FIG. 2, based on the connection address that the management server group 1 responds, the remote device A 31 is connected to the connection server group A 20 and logs in the information of the remote device A 31. Connect to server group A 20. Similarly, according to the connection address that the management server group 1 responds, the remote device B 32 and the remote device C 33 are connected to the connection server group B 21, and log in their own information to the connection. In server group B 21 . Let the connection server group A 20 know the network address of the remote device A 31; the connection server group B 21 knows the network of the remote device B 32 and the remote device C 33 Address.

請再參閱圖3,該遠端訊息溝通系統可接受一個或多個近端設備4連線,該近端設備4需具有支援與該管理伺服器群組1連線的應用介面程式(Application Programming Interface,API),該近端設備4可透過該應用介面程式而選擇一被指定的遠端設備。假設該近端設備4透過該應用介面程式選擇與遠端設備A 31連線,近端設備4透過該應用介面程式向該管理伺服器群組1發出一連線標的查詢資訊94,詢問管理伺服器群組1可與該遠端設備A 31連線的連線伺服器群組為何。該管理伺服器群組1提供被指定之遠端設備(遠端設備A 31)所登錄的連線伺服器群組A 20的位置。因而該近端設備4的應用介面程式再依據管理伺服器群組1回覆的位址而與該連線伺服器群組A 20連線,該 近端設備4發出欲與該遠端設備A 31連線的一連線請求資訊95。請參閱圖5,該連線伺服器群組A 20優先選擇使用執行打洞技術(Hole punching),分別與該近端設備4、遠端設備A 31傳輸一打洞連線訊息960、961,令該近端設備4與該被指定的遠端設備A 31建立一點對點傳輸連線97,該近端設備4可透過點對點傳輸技術而獲得遠端設備A 31的資訊,或者對該遠端設備A 31進行控制。前述的打洞技術(Hole punching)可參見中華民國專利公開第200935808號專利,或中華民國專利證書第M382669號專利,由於該打洞技術非本案所主張的技術特徵,因此不再贅述其技術內容。或者,如圖6所示,若該連線伺服器群組A 20未完成對兩者的打洞程序,則透過該連線伺服器群組A 20相互轉發近端設備4與該被指定的遠端設備A 31的資料封包。 Referring to FIG. 3, the remote communication system can connect one or more near-end devices 4, and the near-end device 4 needs to have an application interface program supporting the connection with the management server group 1 (Application Programming) Interface, API), the near-end device 4 can select a designated remote device through the application interface program. It is assumed that the near-end device 4 is connected to the remote device A 31 through the application interface program, and the near-end device 4 sends a link query information 94 to the management server group 1 through the application interface program to query the management server. What is the connection server group that can be connected to the remote device A 31? The management server group 1 provides the location of the connection server group A 20 to which the designated remote device (the remote device A 31) is registered. Therefore, the application interface program of the near-end device 4 is further connected to the connection server group A 20 according to the address of the management server group 1 replying, The near-end device 4 issues a connection request message 95 to be connected to the remote device A 31. Referring to FIG. 5, the connection server group A 20 preferentially uses a hole punching technique to transmit a dozen holes connection messages 960 and 961 to the near-end device 4 and the remote device A 31, respectively. Having the near-end device 4 establish a point-to-point transmission connection 97 with the designated remote device A 31, the near-end device 4 can obtain information of the remote device A 31 through a point-to-point transmission technology, or the remote device A 31 controls. The aforementioned hole punching technique can be referred to the Patent No. 200935808 of the Republic of China, or the patent of the Republic of China Patent No. M382669. Since the hole punching technique is not a technical feature claimed in the present case, the technical content thereof will not be described again. . Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, if the connection server group A 20 does not complete the hole punching procedure for both, the near-end device 4 and the designated one are mutually forwarded through the connection server group A 20 The data packet of the remote device A 31.

由於該近端設備4需要透過該管理伺服器群組1才能得到該連線伺服器群組A 20、連線伺服器群組B 21的連線位址,因此連線伺服器群組A 20、連線伺服器群組B 21的位址、機械規格變動不會阻礙該近端設備4尋找連線對象。更基於該特點,連線伺服器群組B 21的架構(數量、規格、類別等等)可依照市場的需求而作變動,例如當某一類產品上線的數量增加時,可增加支援該類產品的連線伺服器數量以符合設備負載量。而新增連線伺服器群組或改變連線伺服器群組連線資訊(例如IP位址變動)或者改變連線伺服器群組內機械數量時只需要更新該伺服器列表即可,並令該連線伺服器群組再次向該管理伺服器群組1發出伺服器登錄資訊92進行登錄即可。同樣的,遠端設備的數量與種類變動時,或者遠端設備所登錄的連線伺服器群組有所變動時,亦同樣更新設備列表,並該遠端設備再次向被提供的連線伺服器群組詢問供連線的連線伺服器群組資訊即可。 Since the near-end device 4 needs to obtain the connection address of the connection server group A 20 and the connection server group B 21 through the management server group 1, the connection server group A 20 The address and mechanical specification change of the connection server group B 21 does not prevent the near-end device 4 from finding a connection object. Based on this feature, the architecture (quantity, specification, category, etc.) of the connection server group B 21 can be changed according to the needs of the market. For example, when the number of online products of a certain type of products increases, the support for such products can be increased. The number of connected servers to match the device load. You only need to update the server list when adding a connection server group or changing the connection information of the connection server group (such as IP address change) or changing the number of machines in the connection server group. Let the connection server group send the server login information 92 to the management server group 1 again to log in. Similarly, when the number and type of remote devices change, or when the connection server group to which the remote device is logged changes, the device list is also updated, and the remote device again provides the provided connection servo. The group asks for the connection server group information for the connection.

請參閱圖7,圖7為該遠端訊息溝通系統擴充的實施例,該實施例增加了遠端設備D 34,即使增加數量或者位址的變動,都可透過更新 該管理伺服器群組1的設備列表而增加支援的遠端設備數量(或規格)。遠端設備A 31至遠端設備D 34都可透過傳送伺服器查詢資訊91的過程由管理伺服器群組1重新詢問可連線的連線伺服器群組。同樣的,圖7中可見該連線伺服器群組B 21增加了一連線伺服器213,且新增了一個由連線伺服器221、222、223所組成的連線伺服器群組C 22,同樣是透過該更新該管理伺服器群組1的伺服器列表而擴增進入該遠端訊息溝通系統的連線伺服器數量。藉此,該遠端訊息溝通系統容許該遠端設備、連線伺服器群組的數量、規格、類別依需求而擴充、變動,只需要更新伺服器列表、設備列表且再次向管理伺服器群組1登錄即可,令連線伺服器群組或者遠端設備的製造商可依設備負載量而變動。 Please refer to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is an embodiment of the extension of the remote communication system. The embodiment adds a remote device D 34, which can be updated even if the number or address changes are increased. This manages the device list of server group 1 and increases the number of supported remote devices (or specifications). Both the remote device A 31 and the remote device D 34 can re-query the connectable connection server group by the management server group 1 through the process of transmitting the server query information 91. Similarly, in FIG. 7, it can be seen that the connection server group B 21 adds a connection server 213, and a new connection server group C composed of connection servers 221, 222, and 223 is added. 22. Similarly, the number of connection servers entering the remote messaging system is amplified by updating the server list of the management server group 1. Therefore, the remote communication system allows the number, specifications, and categories of the remote device and the connection server group to be expanded and changed according to requirements, and only needs to update the server list, the device list, and again to the management server group. Group 1 login is sufficient, so that the manufacturer of the connection server group or the remote device can be changed according to the load of the device.

該遠端訊息溝通系統允許多個連線伺服器接受同一遠端設備登錄,請參閱圖8,圖8揭示了該遠端訊息溝通系統包含了連線伺服器群組A、D、E 20、23、24,連線伺服器群組D 23係由連線伺服器231、232所構成,連線伺服器群組E 24係由連線伺服器241、242所構成。該遠端設備A 31經過發出伺服器查詢資訊91詢問該管理伺服器群組1後,該管理伺服器群組1回覆該遠端設備A 31可與該些連線伺服器群組A、D、E 20、23、24進行登錄。透過該特徵,可令相異的連線伺服器群組A、D、E 20、23、24共同支援該遠端設備A 31。假設連線伺服器群組A 20故障或其他原因離線時,該遠端設備A 31仍可登錄於連線伺服器群組D 23或連線伺服器群組E 24的其中之一。又假設該遠端設備A 31為可移動的設備,該遠端設備A 31可透過該管理伺服器群組1的分配而連線到實體距離最接近的任一連線伺服器群組。 The remote communication system allows multiple connection servers to accept the same remote device login. Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 discloses that the remote communication system includes connection server groups A, D, and E20. 23, 24, the connection server group D 23 is composed of connection servers 231, 232, and the connection server group E 24 is composed of connection servers 241, 242. After the remote device A 31 queries the management server group 1 by issuing the server query information 91, the management server group 1 replies to the remote device A 31 and the connection server groups A and D. , E 20, 23, 24 to log in. Through this feature, the different connection server groups A, D, E 20, 23, 24 can support the remote device A 31 together. The remote device A 31 can still log in to one of the connection server group D 23 or the connection server group E 24 assuming that the connection server group A 20 is faulty or other reasons are offline. It is also assumed that the remote device A 31 is a mobile device, and the remote device A 31 can be connected to any of the connected server groups whose physical distance is closest through the allocation of the management server group 1.

該複數遠端設備與連線伺服器群組的對應關係如表一所示: The correspondence between the plurality of remote devices and the connection server group is as shown in Table 1:

以表一為例,前述管理伺服器的伺服器列表可儲存有服務提供者A所營運的連線伺服器Ser01~Ser05,以及服務提供者B所營運的連線伺服器Ser11~Ser12。其中連線伺服器Ser01~Ser03被分配供遠端設備D01~D05登錄,其中D01~D05為各遠端設備的序號,如先前所述,每一遠端設備皆具有其獨特的序號,用於供管理伺服器或連線伺服器驗證與辨識遠端設備的身份。該些連線伺服器Ser01~Ser03接收近端設備的請求而建立與遠端設備D01~D05的連線。由於連線伺服器Ser01~Ser03都可執行同樣的功能,因此連線伺服器Ser01~Ser03之間可相互備援,再者連線伺服器Ser01~Ser03可分別設置於相異位置,例如連線伺服器Ser01~Ser03分別位於上海、東京、洛杉磯,遠端設備D01~D05可登錄於離本身地理位置較近的連線伺服器。同樣的,遠端設備D04~D05接受遠端設備D06~D09登錄。服務提供者B所營運的連線伺服器Ser11~Ser12則接受遠端設備D11~D14的登錄。因此,對管理伺服器而言,只要遠端設備D01上線詢問連線伺服器,該管理伺服器可同時提供連線伺服器Ser01~Ser05的位置給該遠 端設備D01,讓遠端設備D01隨時都可尋找到正常運作的連線伺服器。 Taking Table 1 as an example, the server list of the foregoing management server may store the connection servers Ser01~Ser05 operated by the service provider A and the connection servers Ser11~Ser12 operated by the service provider B. The connection server Ser01~Ser03 is assigned to the remote device D01~D05 to log in, where D01~D05 are the serial numbers of the remote devices. As described earlier, each remote device has its unique serial number for Used by the management server or connection server to verify and identify the identity of the remote device. The connection servers Ser01~Ser03 receive the request of the near-end device to establish a connection with the remote devices D01~D05. Since the connection server Ser01~Ser03 can perform the same function, the connection server Ser01~Ser03 can be mutually redundant, and the connection server Ser01~Ser03 can be set to different positions, for example, connection. The servers Ser01~Ser03 are located in Shanghai, Tokyo, and Los Angeles, and the remote devices D01~D05 can be registered in the connection server that is close to the geographical location. Similarly, the remote devices D04~D05 accept the remote devices D06~D09 to log in. The connection server Ser11~Ser12 operated by the service provider B accepts the login of the remote devices D11~D14. Therefore, for the management server, as long as the remote device D01 goes online to query the connection server, the management server can simultaneously provide the location of the connection server Ser01~Ser05 to the remote The end device D01 allows the remote device D01 to find a working connection server at any time.

藉此,可令該遠端訊息溝通系統內的複數連線伺服器群組之間相互備援,又因該連線伺服器群組內包含了可相互備援的複數連線伺服器,形成多重備援架構,使該遠端訊息溝通系統非常穩定,不會因少數機械故障而影響運作。 Thereby, the plurality of connection server groups in the remote communication system can be mutually supported, and the connection server group includes a plurality of connection servers that can be mutually redundant. The multiple backup architecture makes the remote messaging system very stable and does not affect operation due to a few mechanical failures.

請參閱圖9,前述的連線伺服器與該管理伺服器之間的運作如圖9所示的流程,首先,當一個或多個連線伺服器上線(步驟S01)或者一個或多個連線伺服器的IP或Port變更(步驟S02)時,該連線伺服器需透過網際網路與該管理伺服器連線,並且送出伺服器登錄資訊給該管理伺服器(步驟S03)。管理伺服器會驗證該伺服器登錄資訊的內容,在伺服器列表中是否為合法(步驟S04),若驗證成功,代表該連線伺服器確實為伺服器列表中的合法伺服器,則依據伺服器登錄資訊更新伺服器列表(步驟S05),並由該管理伺服器回覆登錄成功訊息(步驟S06),連線伺服器接收回覆之訊息(步驟S07),並為了確保管理伺服器能存有連線伺服器群組最新的狀態,每經過一預定時間(步驟S09)將會重覆執行步驟S03重新送出伺服器登錄資訊。若在步驟S04驗證該伺服器登錄資訊為失敗,代表該連線伺服器並不在伺服器列表中,為不合法的連線伺服器,亦回覆登錄失敗訊息(步驟S08),由連線伺服器接收回覆之訊息(步驟S07)。 Referring to FIG. 9, the operation between the foregoing connection server and the management server is as shown in FIG. 9. First, when one or more connection servers are online (step S01) or one or more connections. When the IP or Port of the line server is changed (step S02), the connection server needs to connect to the management server via the Internet, and sends the server login information to the management server (step S03). The management server verifies whether the content of the server login information is legal in the server list (step S04). If the verification is successful, it means that the connection server is indeed a legitimate server in the server list, according to the servo. The server login information updates the server list (step S05), and the management server replies with the login success message (step S06), the connection server receives the reply message (step S07), and ensures that the management server can be connected. The latest state of the line server group will repeat the step S03 to resend the server login information every time a predetermined time elapses (step S09). If it is verified in step S04 that the server login information is failed, it means that the connection server is not in the server list, and is an illegal connection server, and also replies with the login failure message (step S08), and the connection server is connected. The reply message is received (step S07).

接著,圖10可見該遠端設備與該管理伺服器連線請求回覆連線伺服器的過程。首先,遠端設備會發出詢問伺服器位址的訊息(步驟S11),該管理伺服器會驗證該遠端設備所送訊息是否有效(步驟S12),若驗證成功則該管理伺服器回覆連線伺服器的位址給該遠端設備(步驟S13);若驗證失敗,則該管理伺服器回覆一拒絕請求訊息給該遠端設備(步驟S14)。接著,該遠端設備需再與該管理伺服器所回覆的連線伺服器連線。該遠端設備送出該遠端設備的登錄訊息(步驟S15),連線 伺服器群組接收該登錄訊息(步驟S16),接著該連線伺服器回覆一回應訊息給該遠端設備(步驟S17)。因此,該連線伺服器可得知該遠端設備的IP位址以聯繫該遠端設備的必要資訊。為了確保該連線伺服器可找到該遠端設備,在每經過一預定時間後(可預設為每10分鐘),該遠端設備需回到步驟S15重新送出本身的資訊訊息(步驟S18),使該連線伺服器可時常獲得該遠端設備的更新狀態。又,該遠端設備可每經過一較長時間(例如可預設每24小時)重新詢問管理伺服器(步驟S19),令管理伺服器提供最新的連線伺服器位址置與資訊。 Next, FIG. 10 shows a process in which the remote device and the management server are connected to request to reply to the connection server. First, the remote device sends a message asking the server address (step S11), the management server verifies whether the message sent by the remote device is valid (step S12), and if the verification is successful, the management server replies with a connection. The address of the server is given to the remote device (step S13); if the verification fails, the management server replies with a reject request message to the remote device (step S14). Then, the remote device needs to be connected to the connection server that the management server replies. The remote device sends a login message of the remote device (step S15), and connects The server group receives the login message (step S16), and then the connection server replies with a response message to the remote device (step S17). Therefore, the connection server can know the IP address of the remote device to contact the necessary information of the remote device. In order to ensure that the connection server can find the remote device, after each predetermined time (which can be preset every 10 minutes), the remote device needs to return to step S15 to re-send its own information message (step S18). So that the connection server can obtain the update status of the remote device from time to time. Moreover, the remote device can re-interrogate the management server every time (for example, every 24 hours can be preset) (step S19), so that the management server provides the latest connection server address setting information.

最後,該近端設備請求與該遠端設備連線的過程可見於圖11,使用者透過近端設備的應用介面程式(API)指定一遠端設備,該近端設備透過該應用介面程式(API)向管理伺服器提出尋找被指定遠端設備的請求(步驟S21),該管理伺服器回應該遠端設備登錄的連線伺服器的位址給該近端設備(步驟S22),於是該近端設備即可獲得與哪一個連線伺服器連線可找到被指定的遠端設備。接著該近端設備向該連線伺服器請求與該遠端設備連線(步驟S23),該連線伺服器優先選擇對該近端設備與遠端設備執行打洞程序(步驟S24),若成功,則可令該近端設備與遠端設備進行點對點傳輸(步驟S25);若失敗,則該近端設備與遠端設備的資料封包透過該連線伺服器轉發(步驟S26)。 Finally, the process of requesting the near-end device to connect to the remote device can be seen in FIG. 11. The user specifies a remote device through an application interface program (API) of the near-end device, and the near-end device passes the application interface program ( The API) submits a request for finding the designated remote device to the management server (step S21), and the management server returns the address of the connection server that the remote device logs in to the near-end device (step S22), so The near-end device can get a connection to which connection server to find the designated remote device. Then, the near-end device requests the connection server to connect to the remote device (step S23), and the connection server preferentially selects a hole punching process for the near-end device and the remote device (step S24), if If successful, the near-end device and the remote device may perform point-to-point transmission (step S25); if it fails, the data packet of the near-end device and the remote device is forwarded through the connection server (step S26).

透過前述的技術,該遠端設備以及該連線伺服器不需要直接揭露其IP位址或Domain name,以降低被駭客侵入的危險。同樣的,該近端設備不需要具有固定IP,亦不需要記憶固定的IP位址或Domain name,只需透過該管理伺服器即可尋找特定遠端設備所屬的連線伺服器。因此,該近端設備只需要具有該管理伺服器支援的應用介面程式(Application Programming Interface,API)即可請求管理伺服器查詢連線位址,並且使用者只需要選擇其中一遠端設備,剩下與管理伺服器、連線伺服器溝通的程序皆可由該應用介面程式自動處理,以大幅 簡化使用者操作的複雜度。又,該系統容許該遠端設備、連線伺服器的數量、規格、類別依需求而擴充、變動,只需要向管理伺服器登錄而更新伺服器列表、設備列表即可。令連線伺服器或者遠端設備的製造商可依設備負載量而變動。前述的遠端設備可為一安全警報系統,例如監視攝影器材、防盜器、煙霧火災警報器等等;亦可為一家電設備,例如冰箱、空調設備等等。再者,該近端設備應具備有影音播放功能,例如具有影音播放功能的行動電話、電腦、個人數位助理(PDA)等等。 Through the foregoing technology, the remote device and the connection server do not need to directly expose their IP address or Domain name to reduce the risk of being invaded by the hacker. Similarly, the near-end device does not need to have a fixed IP, nor does it need to memorize a fixed IP address or a domain name, and only through the management server can find the connection server to which the specific remote device belongs. Therefore, the near-end device only needs to have an application programming interface (API) supported by the management server to request the management server to query the connection address, and the user only needs to select one of the remote devices. The program that communicates with the management server and the connection server can be automatically processed by the application interface program to Simplify the complexity of user operations. Moreover, the system allows the number, specifications, and categories of the remote device and the connection server to be expanded and changed according to requirements, and only needs to log in to the management server to update the server list and device list. The manufacturer of the connection server or remote device can vary depending on the amount of equipment load. The aforementioned remote device may be a security alarm system, such as a surveillance photographic equipment, an alarm, a smoke fire alarm, etc.; or an electrical device such as a refrigerator, an air conditioner, or the like. Furthermore, the near-end device should have audio and video playback functions, such as a mobile phone with audio and video playback capabilities, a computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and the like.

雖然本案以較佳實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本案。任何熟習此技藝者,在不脫離本案之精神和範圍內,而所作之些許更動與潤飾,皆應涵蓋於本案中,因此本案之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 Although the present invention has been disclosed above in the preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention.
