Message handling method, message handling apparatus

Abstract

By using interpretation execution parts which conform to the background concepts and vocabularies of a conversation upon communication providing a communication system which is capable of making a suitable response. By dynamically allocating suitable interpretation execution parts like an interpreter in conformance to a variety of agent communication languages, content describing languages and ontologies, a flexible and smooth information exchange and cooperation are realized among agents and between agents and an existing system. The agent communication system in a preferred embodiment of this invention is provided with interpretation execution part control function and scans a directory of interpretation parts such as conversation content monitoring parts, interpreters and translators upon the time of start or during execution and forms and maintains an interpretation execution part table as to what interpretation execution parts exist.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to data processing technology, more specifically, to a technology of dynamically changing processing resources according to the content of data to be processed. technical background [0002] Generally, humans can determine the subject of the conversation and how to interpret the speaker’s expression during the conversation based on environmental conditions (including the speaker’s location, past experience, the speaker’s identity, and the progress of the conversation). For example, suppose a guest sitting in a tea room only tells the waitress "coffee." The waitress will explain the above statement as follows: the guest agrees to pay the price of a cup of hot coffee listed in the menu on the guest's seat, and orders a cup of hot coffee poured in a coffee cup. The hostess also recognizes that the guest accepts the reservation, and the hostess understands that the following steps should be taken: prepare a cup of hot coffee, add s...

Problems solved by technology

[0015] However, if various types of communication between agents were to be supported in a separate region, the region would be heavily loaded, unable to respond appropriately to the contents of the conversation, and prolonging the time required to process replies

When servicing requests is complicated by supporting various types of communications, additional load is placed on the requesting agent or software

In addition, when the amount of data transfer on the network is increased, the load on the communication system will increase

When changing the interpreter that interprets the content of a session, the system has the problem of having to stop temporarily to re-register and inject the changed interpreter since the system relies on only one independent interpreter

However, such a prior art system that checks the internal state of the system and replaces resources according to the check result cannot analyze received messages and thus cannot dynamically change the interpretation execution part that interprets received messages

Furthermore, in order to avoid system downtime, such prior art systems have to be equipped with replacement resources for changed resources, which in turn imposes an additional burden on the user
