The mobile terminal 100 represents a client terminal including a synchronous CDMA 2000 and an asynchronous W-CDMA communication terminal (Handset), a smart phone (PDA), a personal digital assistant (PDA), and the like. ) Serves as an interface that provides a communication network for wireless data transmission between the mobile terminal 100 and the swap gateway 300.

The WAP 300 is a protocol for efficiently transmitting data in a wireless propagation environment between the mobile terminal 100 and a base station, and serves to provide various air interface functions regardless of the type of a network or a terminal. Perform.

BCP (Biz Common Platform) 400 provides a dedicated browser for the line of business for smoothly performing the line of business in the mobile terminal (100).

As a configuration, the RH (Request Handler) 410 receives request information (request of screen, data, update, authentication, etc.) from the client (BCP browser, mobile terminal), decompresses it, and then routes and communicates with the appropriate server. Relays The response information received from the server is compressed again and delivered to the client.

In particular, it serves to connect the mobile terminal 100 and various server modules, and in connection with the mobile terminal 10, encryption / compression, authentication processing, session management, cookie management, update (update) Provides management and service routing functions.

The transform engine (TE) 420 serves to manage the terminal information without limitation of the type of the mobile terminal 100, content transformation, and transformation into a form optimized for the terminal. The detailed configuration of the TE 420 will be described later.

The UAPIS (UA Profile Information System) 430 manages profile information of the UA.

The BLP (Biz Logic Processor) 440 receives the request information from another engine (RH, TE) and plays a role of sequentially processing activities defined in the corresponding process flow.
BLP (Biz Logic Processor) is a well-known term for a functional module that interprets various business requests of many users into pre-implemented (programmed) Biz Logic and processes them sequentially.
In the present invention, the BLP (Biz Logic Processor) receives the request information from other engines (RH, TE) as described in FIGS. 1 and 2 and plays a role of sequentially processing activities defined in the corresponding process flow. Means the server.

Next, an operation process of the enterprise wireless application service system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

First, the mobile terminal 100 accesses a website and requests BCP contents (S100). At this time, the request call is transmitted to the WAG gateway 300 through the mobile communication network 200.

The swap gateway 300 converts the request call to the HTTP protocol and transfers the request call to the Request Handler (RH) 410 of the BCP 400 (S110). The RH 410 transmits the request call to the TE (Transform Engine) 420. It will be delivered to (S120).

The TE 420 requests the terminal information to the UAPIS (UA Profile Information System) 430 to obtain the information of the requesting terminal (S130), and the UAPIS 430 transmits the detailed information of the requesting terminal to the TE 420. It is made (S140).

The TE 420 requests the data (XML) of the content requested by the mobile terminal 100 to the BLP 430 (S150), and the BLP 430 configures the data (XML) of the requested content (TE) 420. It is delivered to (S160).

The TE 420 loads screen information (XSL) related to the data (XML) of the request content received from the BLP 430, performs XSLT conversion, and reformats the response content (WML / XHTML-) by reformatting it according to the characteristics of the request terminal. MP is generated and delivered to the RH 410 (S170).

The RH 410 transmits the response content (WML / XHTML-MP) received from the TE 420 to the swap gateway 300 (S180), and in the swap gateway 300, the response content received from the RH 410 ( WML / XHTML-MP) is converted into a WAP protocol and transmitted to the mobile communication network 200.

Finally, the response content (WML / XHTML-MP) delivered to the mobile communication network 200 is delivered to the requesting mobile terminal 100 (S190).

FIG. 3 is a detailed configuration diagram of the conversion engine (TE) system shown in FIG. 1.

The conversion engine (TE) according to the present invention transfers the content transmitted from the legacy system according to the request service of each server to WML (WAP 1.x) / XHTML-MP (WAP 2.0) suitable for the characteristics of the requesting terminal. Convert it and send it to the terminal.

As its main function, 1) extract the requested terminal characteristic information from the UAPIS 430, 2) request the content requested by the mobile terminal 100 to the BLP 440, and 3) fit the response XML sent from the BLP 440. After XSLT conversion work with XSL, response content (WML / XHTML-MP) suitable for the characteristics of request terminal is created, and 4) reformatting response content.

At this time, the response content includes text summerization, image tag conversion processing, and Deck (page) division processing.

Looking at the detailed configuration diagram of the conversion engine (TE) of FIG. 423, a transformer 424, and a data reformer DR 425.

The request listener (RL) 421 receives a request from the RH 410 to activate a thread to process the request, and the device handler (DH) 422 analyzes terminal characteristic information of the requesting terminal.

The business logic exciter (BE) 423 serves to request the BLP 440 the content requested by the terminal, and the transformater 424 XSLTs the response XML received from the BLP 440 to respond. Generate (WML / XHTML-MP)

The data reformatter (DR) 425 plays a role of optimizing the response content (WML / XHTML-MP) according to the characteristics of the terminal and reprocessing by dividing the page.

Next, an operation process of the conversion engine system will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

First, when starting the TE (420) for the first time, and requests the characteristic information of the mobile terminal 100 registered in the WAP terminal table DB (500) (S200).

Then, the device map is configured by reading the characteristic information of the mobile terminal 100 registered in the WAP terminal table DB 500 (S210).

The RH 410 transfers the request information from the mobile terminal 100 to the TE 420. At this time, the request information includes a User Agent (UA) or an x-wap-profile, a mobile identification number (MIN), and a BLP URL as the [HTTP header]; [Quarlisting] includes RID (Requets ID), SvcID (Service ID), FID (Flow ID) and the like.
In the present invention, RH refers to a server that transmits the request information from the mobile terminal to the TE and transfers it to the mobile terminal as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

The request information received from the RH 410 is transmitted to the device handler (DH) 422, and the device handler (DH) 422 reads characteristic information of the request terminal from the device map (S220). .

In this case, if there is no request terminal characteristic information in the device map, the UAPIS 430 requests the characteristic information of the requesting terminal (S230).

When the request terminal characteristic information exists, the request terminal characteristic information received from the UAPIS 430 is added to the device map and the WAP terminal table DB 500, and then the request information and characteristic information of the request terminal are added. The logic is transmitted to the BE (423) (BE) (S240).

The business logic exciter (BE) 423 requests the BLP 440 by adding a query string to the BLP URL in the request information. At this time, the request information includes RID (Requets ID), SvcID (Service ID), FID (Flow ID), etc. as [Quarrying] data (S250).

The BLP 440 generates a response XML of the requested content and transmits the generated response XML to the BizLogic Exciter (BE) 423, and delivers the response XML received from the BLP 440 to a transformer 424 ( S260).

Then, Form XSL having screen information related to the response XML is searched in a local directory, and the related Form XSL is found and converted into XSLT along with the response XML to generate response content (WML / XHTML-MP) (S270).

The data reformatter (DR) 425 optimizes and divides the response content (WML / XHTML-MP) generated by the transformer 424 according to terminal characteristics to generate reprocessed response content. (S280).

Thereafter, the data reformer (DR) 425 forwards the reprocessed response content (WML / XHTML-MP) to the request listener (RL) 421, which in turn requests the request listener (RL) 421. The processing operation is completed by transferring the response content (WML / XHTML-MP) received from the data reformer (DR) 425 to the RH 410 (S290).

According to the conversion engine system and operation method of the enterprise wireless application service according to the present invention as described above, the user by providing a service function that can be automatically converted to the expression style supported by each terminal without being affected by the type of mobile terminal Due to the variety of expression formats (browser browser, LCD size, color phone, support image, etc.) of the terminal, it is possible to solve the difficulty of expressing data in an expression format supported by each terminal. Therefore, it is possible to maximize user convenience in the enterprise wireless application service providing method.
