Description

Method for Managing System with Different System Modules in the Internet}

The present invention relates to a system management method having different system modules on the Internet. More particularly, the present invention defines an integrated data structure for functions to be managed in different system modules, and the user requests through a web browser. The present invention relates to a system management method and apparatus for efficiently generating various items for different functions by dynamically generating HTML documents regardless of which system module is applied to the system. .

In the early days, the Internet was mainly used as a means of sharing and receiving information. However, as the Internet is activated, the scope of use of the Internet is gradually increasing. Now, the Internet is not only provided with information, but also used in various ways such as e-commerce through the Internet and advertisement through the Internet.

Although system management was generally performed through a specific network, a method of managing a system through a web server is now being utilized regardless of a place using the Internet.

In order to manage the system through the Internet, when a user sends a request for management through a web browser, a web server in the system finds an HTML document corresponding to the request and sends it to the web browser. At this time, the HTML documents sent to the user's web browser are preset in a format, and the data processing result requested by the user is inserted into the preset format and finally delivered to the user's web browser.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a system management method having different system modules through a conventional Internet.

The user must access the web server of the system to be managed for system management via the Internet. To this end, the user enters a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) corresponding to the system's web server 12 in a web browser, and when connected to the web server 12, the web server can input user's request information for system management. An HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) document is transmitted to the user web browser 10.

When the user inputs the request information for management through the HTML document displayed in the web browser 10, the web server 12 receives a plurality of system modules 11-a, 11-b, 11- in which the user's request is located in the system. c) Determining which system module the request is for and handing the user's request information to the corresponding system module.

Each system module 11-a, 11-b, 11-c, which has received the user's request information from the web server 12, receives data processing units 13-a, 13-b, 13-c in each system module. Processes internal data according to user's request. Each system module has its own HTML document generator 14-a, 14-b, 14-c, and the HTML document generator 14-a, 14-b, 14-c is adapted to the user's request. It stores the format of the HTML document that will display the results of the processing. When the internal data processing is completed, the HTML document generation unit 14-a, 14-b, 14-c inserts a processing result value into the set format to complete an HTML document corresponding to one web page.

When the HTML document is completed in each system module, the HTML document generating unit 14-a, 14-b, 14-c transmits the completed document to the web server 12, and the web server of the user who requested the HTML document. Send to the web browser (10).

The web browser 10 receiving the HTML document from the web server 12 interprets the tags included in the HTML document in an interpreted manner and displays the HTML document to the user according to the format.

As described above, the HTML document generators 13-a, 13-b, and 13-c of the respective system modules 11-a, 11-b, and 11-c may already be used for web pages to be transmitted to the web browser. Each system module must save each of the default formats that exist in the htm file, since the default format is set and the document is completed by inserting only the results of data processing that changes as the system is managed into the already set format. .

As described above, in the management of a system having different system modules in the conventional Internet, an HTML document having a basic format is generated for each system module in advance, and one web page when the user transmits system management request information. Each HTML document corresponding to must be created separately for each system module. Therefore, storing HTML documents separately for each module requires a lot of capacity in the system, and generating HTML documents with similar formats for each system module individually requires repeated steps, which reduces the performance of the system. have.

In the present invention, in order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the data structure for the function of each system module is built in advance, the data processing for each system module for the system management request of the user, and then the This paper proposes a system management method that has different system modules on the Internet that generate HTML documents using data structures and send them to the user's web browser.

In order to achieve the above object, the system management method having different system modules on the Internet according to the present invention includes the steps of defining a system management function and items to be managed through a web page; (B) defining a data structure for each system module for each system module for each web page; (C) providing an HTML document for inputting request information for system management to a user using the data structure and system management function defined in steps (a) and (b); When a user inputs request information for system management, if the user's request information requires data processing in each system module, it is transmitted to the corresponding system module, processed, and then transmitted to the HTML document generator, and in each system module (D) transmitting the user's request information to the HTML document generator if data processing is not required; A step (e) of commonly generating a response HTML document in response to a user's request by using the data structure defined in step (a) of the data transmitted to the HTML document generating unit in step (d); And transmitting (f) and displaying the HTML document generated in step (e) to a user web browser.

In addition, the present invention is characterized in that it further comprises the step of converting the user's request into a command suitable for the system module when transmitting the user's request information to the system module in the step (d).

On the other hand, the HTML document generated in step (e) is characterized in that it contains information indicating which system module the generated HTML document is a document.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of a system management method having different system modules on the Internet according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration for system management having different system modules according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, an apparatus for managing a system having different system modules on the Internet includes a web browser 20, a system module 1 (21-a), a system module 2 (21-b), and a system module 3. 21-c, web server 22, data processing units 23-a, 23-b, 23-c and HTML document processing unit 24 for each system module.

As shown in FIG. 2, the present invention, unlike the prior art, does not exist in each system module, but exists only in system module 1, so that the data processing results in each system module are combined in common. Create an HTML document and provide it to the user.

Referring to Figure 2 describes a system management method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

When the user accesses the web server 22 in the system through the web browser 20, the web server 22 transmits an HTML document for inputting request information for system management to the web browser. The HTML document to be transmitted is provided with a menu for the user to input the requirements for each system module, and when the user inputs the request information for management, the HTML document is created to recognize which system module the request is for. desirable.

The user inputs the request information for management in the HTML document transmitted from the web server 22 and displayed on the web browser 20, and the input request information is transmitted to the web server 22 via the Internet.

The web server 22 receiving the user's request information analyzes the web server 22 to determine whether the request requires data processing of a specific system module. If the user's request requires data processing in a specific system module, the request information is forwarded to the corresponding system module (21-a, 21-b, 21-c), otherwise the response information for the user's request It is delivered to the HTML document generation unit 24 to create an HTML document including.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when internal data processing in the system module is required, it is preferable to convert the request information of the user from the web server to the system module and convert it into a command that can be used in each system module. For example, suppose system module 2 is a private switch and system module 3 is a LAN switch. In the case of the private exchange, since the message for the exchange management is set in advance, the web server converts the user's request into the message for the exchange management. In the case of the LAN switch, the management request must be in the form of a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) packet. Therefore, the web server must interpret the user's request and convert the user's request into an appropriate SNMP packet.

When internal data processing is required in the system module, the data processing units 23-a, 23-b, and 23-c of each system module that receive the user's request information converted from the web server 22 respond to the user's request. The data processing is performed, and the data about the processing result is transmitted to the HTML document generator 24.

The HTML document generator 24 which receives the user's request information that does not require separate data processing from the web server 22 or receives the internal data processing result of the system module aggregates each processing result and requests the user's request. Dynamically generates a response HTML document that conforms to The generated HTML document is transmitted to the user web browser 10 by the web server 22.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the document generated by the HTML document generation unit 24 is not a general htm file, but a string type document having an html tag. That is, the HTML document generation unit 24 receives a request from a user or a data processing result from a system module and inserts the processing result into an existing htm file, rather than a document in a string format having an html tag for the processing result. And write it to the user's web browser, and the web browser interprets the string with the received html tag and displays it to the user.

In the present invention, in order to generate the HTML document in common regardless of the managed system module, the data structure of one web page in accordance with the function of the system module that can be managed as one web page for the function of the defined system module We propose a way to define it.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for managing a system having different system modules on the Internet according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a data structure and a view for common generation of the HTML document with reference to FIG. The detailed method of the invention will be described.

As shown in FIG. 3, first, after defining a data structure for one web page, a system management function for configuring one web page is defined (S300). The system management function is a higher concept of a data structure constituting a web page to be described later, and defines a data structure for managing a function of the data structure of one web page. Therefore, a web page should be defined efficiently considering the relevance of system management functions.

After the system management function is defined, a data structure for one web page is defined for common generation of HTML documents (S301). The data structure is a data structure for the matter that the system should be managed from the user web browser. Each system module has various functions and there are many things to be managed for each function. Therefore, it is very difficult to manage them in one web page. Therefore, the data structure for the items to be managed for each page is defined. The process of doing this is at this stage. This defined data structure is used to create web pages provided to users for system management. Also, when a user enters data values through the created web pages, the system receives the desired data and uses it. Internal data processing for system management is possible. Therefore, to define data structure, not only elements that can generate HTML document in common, but also system management functions and items to be managed must be defined so that they can be applied regardless of system module.

For example, if the HTML document is created in common, the web pages have the same structure regardless of each system module. When the request comes with the data from the web browser through the generated HTML document, the evidence that can determine the system module to process the data is needed. Therefore, the data structure should include elements that can be used as such criteria.

When the data structure and the management function for each system module are defined, an HTML document in which the user can input the request information is generated according to the above-described matter, transmitted to the user web browser, and the request information is received from the user (S302). ).

The user may request data processing in each system module by transmitting data necessary for system management through a web browser, and may also request an initial web page for system management. In the latter case, no separate processing is required for each system module.

When the user's request information is received from the web server, the web server determines whether the user's request information is a request requiring data processing in a system module or an initial web page for management (S303).

When the user's request information requires data processing in each system module, as described above, the web server converts the user's request into a request that can be used in each system module and transmits the request to the data processing unit in the system module. The data processing unit processes the data and transmits it to the HTML document generating unit (S304). If the user's request information does not require data processing in each system module but requests a web page for management, the request information is transmitted directly to the HTML document generation unit without additional processing.

After data processing is completed in each system module, a common HTML document is generated according to a user's request using the data processing result (S305). The common HTML document is generated based on the data structure defined above. In addition, since the items to be managed of each system management function have been defined in accordance with this data structure, after processing the data for these items, it is possible to use the result value to make the HTML document common regardless of which system module. It can be created dynamically.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when generating the HTML document, it is preferable to include information indicating which system module the web page including the HTML document is for the page. This is to provide the created web page to the user's web browser, and when the request comes back from the user, identify which system module the request is for and send the data to the system module.

When the response HTML document in response to the user's request is completed, the web server transmits the completed document to the user web browser via the Internet (S306).

As described above, according to the system management method having different system modules on the Internet according to the present invention, instead of generating an HTML document for each system module, a response HTML is commonly responded to a user's request using an integrated data structure. By generating the document, there is an advantage of saving the internal storage capacity. In addition, the system does not need to repeat the same procedure as the conventional method of generating HTML documents individually, thereby improving system performance.
