Plug-in service transmission platform

Abstract

The present invention discloses a pluggable service delivery platform for supporting many devices to many services in an e-business application, comprising a device-platform interface, a service-platform interface and a platform kernel section. The service delivery platform of this invention is a flexible and scalable platform to easily "plug" a new device and a new service, and the different parts of the platform are componentized. Any one of the components can be replaced by a 3rd party's products, providing they abide certain open interface like Java Servlet, LDAP, etc.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a service delivery platform that can support access of multiple devices to multiple services in e-commerce applications, and specifically relates to a pluggable service delivery platform that can plug multiple devices and services. Background technique

[0002] Today there are many pervasive computing devices, such as handheld PCs, smart phones, mobile phones, screen phones, pagers, fax machines, etc., all of which have certain intelligence and communication capabilities. In addition to the inherent functions of these devices, people generally wish to use these devices for online e-commerce activities. But this is a challenge because most of the current network (Internet) infrastructure is designed for PCs. Meanwhile, various services have different characteristics. In this case, a certain amount of effort is required to connect a device to a service. When new services appear, the client program must be modified; sim...

[0023] Before describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, a brief introduction to terms used in this disclosure is given.

[0024] 1.XML (Extensible Markup Language): Extensible Markup Language. A highly extensible markup language that is an international standard. Mainly used to describe structured data. In this way, the content is separated from the presentation. For example, when the content described in the same XML needs to be displayed on different devices, it can be combined with different scripting languages ​​(XSL: Extensible Script Language, dedicated to expressing how to display), such as segmentation, content Extraction, fonts, colors and more. This highly structured and dedicated markup language for expressing content is also used to exchange data between various modules, and the program automatically recognizes the content, which is the biggest advantage different from HTML (contains both ...
