Description of the invention (1) The present invention relates to the field of system architecture design. The present invention is particularly related to the field of telecommunication systems, and in one embodiment is particularly related to the field of short message service (SMS) signal systems in mobile telecommunication networks. The structure of the SMS signal system in the prior art is designed around the large-scale hardware components that make up this telecommunications network. A hardware or software failure at a particular point in this network reduces its ability to operate and may cause loss or delay of information. System upgrades are implemented by adding large hardware components to the system, which are often expensive. And you may experience loss of service during the entire period of this upgrade. In addition, due to the large and expensive equipment items that must be imported for this system upgrade, the system will be inefficient, because the period of under-capacity in the system before this upgrade was followed by the addition of new hardware equipment Over-capacity period. Software upgrades may also result in loss of service, as each component of the software on the network must be upgraded individually. In order to avoid the loss of services in the network due to component failure, some conventional technology systems include redundant backups of hardware and software. However, this only gives limited protection against this component failure and requires expensive equipment to provide hardware redundancy and back up of network data. A loosely coupled, decentralized system architecture provides a flexible solution for building a network of components and is implemented for large and small computing systems, such as computers used to communicate over a local area network. This loosely coupled decentralized structure allows system processing and operation to be performed on multiple components in the system, and can also allow 0 22676 4 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) This paper standard applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 582178 A7 __________B7 V. Description of the invention (2) Transparent access to shared system resources. Hardware and software components can be dynamically selected to perform special tasks, and software upgrades can be implemented simultaneously for all components of the system by adding new methods or software components. Because any software component can run on any hardware in the network, redundant backups of hardware and software can be easily implemented without the need to purchase a large amount of additional equipment. However, dynamically defining the hardware and software used for each task can cause unnecessary delays in performing that task. This can be a particular problem if the system is designed to repeatedly perform a small number of tasks. In addition, although it adds flexibility to the system, the dynamic allocation of tasks can also cause instability in large decentralized networks. An object of the embodiment of the present invention is to provide a system structure which is highly convertible, flexible, and also robust. This system can have special applications for telecommunication systems and SMS signaling systems. According to an embodiment, the system may be implemented using a distributed software structure. Each software component or software agent performs a separate, simple task, which can be controlled by a management system or wiring. This cabling ensures that it is connected to the correct software agent to allow this system to perform tasks that include its functions. New software agents can be introduced into the system by wiring, and non-functioning agents can be removed or replaced. This allows this system structure to be upgraded in a surviving environment, because any new agent that is imported but not functioning properly will cause this network to bring this system back to the last known good structure, and will Interference interruptions are minimized. The redundant backup mechanism and software ensure that the system can maintain its full functionality even if the software agent cafent fails. 0i2u ?? _ This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297mm) -5-(Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)

Description of the invention (The other advantage of the embodiment of the present invention using decentralized software and hardware technology is that it can provide just-in-time switchability. As the demand for the system grows, , Can quickly add new hardware components to follow the growth of demand. This provides advantages over the delivery system, this traditional system must add large hardware components and redesign the software to incorporate these changes This leads to an over-utilisation period of the system before adding new hardware, while underwriting the system when new hardware is added but needs to grow to use the full potential of this hardware (under -utilisation).

Description of the Invention (4) At least one interaction between these agents is defined in advance. And / or at least one interaction between at least one agent and at least a portion of the memory space. Predefining some or all of the interactions required for system operation during the initialisation of the system can provide a more reliable, stable, and efficient system than those disclosed in the conventional art. This initial system setup period, which may be required for pre-defined interactions, can be justified by the added stability and efficiency of the operating system. Once the parent interaction in the system is defined, this operating system can be able to process messages faster than a standard decentralized operating system, because in this embodiment, there is no need to define the real-time interactions required to process each message. . This is particularly advantageous in systems such as SMS messaging systems, which may require continuous operation for a long time after initial setup. Another preferred feature of the present invention is that at least one agent can perform at least one of reading, writing or fetching functions on at least part of the data stored in the memory space. This routing can define more than one destination for the agent's possible output. This output purpose can be selected based on at least one property of the data processed by this agent. This allows different forms of data to be processed differently by a particular agent. This routing layer preferably defines more than one set of interactions between these agents at a particular time, and / or between at least one agent and at least a portion of the memory space. 'These interactions can be performed to Scheduled task. This can allow redundancy to be introduced into the system, so that even if some agents or memory are used in this paper, the home standard (CNS) M specification looks like 297 (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)

Description of the Invention (5) Some parts of the space or a specific set of pre-defined interactions can still perform this task. (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Even better, use only a set of predefined interactions at any time to perform a given task, but this routing layer can switch between groups of interactions Without affecting the operation of the system. This allows the routing layer who interacts with the set to implement load balancing or select the set of interactions to be used to perform a specific task. According to other preferred features of the present invention, this wiring layer must be configured so that if switching from using the interaction of the first group to using the interaction of the second group to perform a given task is not successful, the wiring is switched back to using the first Group interaction. This can provide a failure recovery mechanism by which the system can restore full functionality if the second set of interactions fails. This system is preferably used to control the SMS message system in a mobile telecommunications network. The viewpoint of the first device of the present invention includes a network of interconnected component parts, wherein communication between the component parts is in the form of a message sent between such interconnected component parts and is characterized by: · Each interconnected component transmits the message sent to a plurality of other interconnected components, and each interconnected component monitors multiple messages transmitted on the network and receives any relevant messages. As a result, these system components only process relevant information, which can increase the efficiency of the system by reducing the number of messages processed by each network component. This sends the message to multiple (optionally all) interconnected components of the system, which allows any or multiple components in this decentralized network to retrieve and process __ this paper The dimensions apply to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm). 5. Description of the invention (6) The information contained in this information. It simplifies the process of sending this message because it can be sent to the general network rather than to individual components. The network constituted by this interconnected component preferably includes at least one of the following devices. The device is used to store location information for the components in the telecommunications network; the switching device is used in these applications and the telecommunications network Messages are sent along the way, and the device is used to provide an external control interface to the device. These interconnected components are preferably connected on a separate network from this telecommunications network. This reduces the load on the SS7 layer of the telecommunications network and facilitates fast and reliable communication between these interconnected components. These messages are preferably sent repeatedly until a confirmation message is received. This feature can be used to ensure that each message sent can be received by at least one component on the network. According to other preferred features of the invention, these interconnected components are each monitored on a separate network. Status of other components. This allows these components to ensure that they only send data over the network to the operating components, and allows any malfunctioning network components to function efficiently with the remaining components of the network. The relevance of these messages sent to the network can be determined by each interconnected component based on at least one preset condition. More preferably, at least one of the preset conditions includes a shell material type included in this message. This may allow, for example, a location register to identify and process only messages with information about this location or messages with information available to applications connected to the network 02681. In addition, some control interface devices are better able to obtain information about any new connections between this application and this interconnected component, and further send this Besson to the network formed by these interconnected components. Because the external control interface can provide a mechanism through which the network and its external connections can be updated and modified.

To implement. 582178 A7 —------ —__ B7 V. Description of the invention (8) '' — In the embodiment of the present invention, the loose surface and connection decentralized structure of this system is composed of three main components: Agents, message storage (or memory space), and wiring layers. The three components and their operation will now be described with reference to FIG. 2. In this implementation, these agents 20, 22, 24, and 28 are independent entities, each of which is designed and programmed to perform a specific function. The functions performed by agents 20, 22, 24, 26, and 28 can assist in processing SMS messages in the messaging system. For example, agent 2 can parse the message for its destination address and send this information to another Agent 22, 24,%, 28 for further processing. The function of the agent 20 22 '24' 26 '28 may involve "retrieving," or "reading" input data from a sequence of data (which can be in memory space 30, 32, 34), processing the data in a pre-defined manner and Output this processed data. “Reading” the data from the sequence is not the same as “taking out” the data, because the agents 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 did not remove the data from the sequence in reading the data. Multiple agents 20, 22, 24, 26, and 28 can grab "same data" from this queue, but the data "fetched" from the sequence cannot be used by other agents. Agents 20, 22, 24,%, 28 can output data to other agents 2G, 22, 24, 26, 28, or can write data in a sequence of message storage defined by wiring.

This can be used, for example, to output different data to different sequences based on the priority given to this data. The system may also include memory space or message storage 30, 32, 34. In this embodiment, the message storages 30, 32, and 34 only receive and store the pre-delta negative material types (which can be sms messages). They can also allow this stored data to be retrieved or exported from this storage, especially by agents 20, 22, 24, 26, 28. The message storages 30, 32, 34 may include sequences as described above, which may store data for processing by the agent. These sequences can operate on a first-in-first-out (FIFO: first-in-out) basis, or this material can be organized in another way. For example ... These materials can be prioritized based on at least one pre-set condition. The wiring layer 10 is an external control flow mechanism of this system. In this embodiment, 'it connects the agents 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 and the memory space 30, 32, 34 together, statically and precisely defining the interaction between the components of the system . The interactions defined by the wiring layer 10 may allow message processing in the system. This wiring can perform periodic checks for consistency in the system 'to ensure, for example, that incorrect data types are not sent to agents or parts of memory. Different from the implementation of the conventional technology decentralized system, the interaction between system components in this embodiment is statically pre-defined rather than dynamically compiled by the external control flow system when the reference program is called. These interactions can be defined during the initial setup of the system. Can be defined in advance through multiple submissions 022884 12 (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297 mm) 582178 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention Import redundant backup into this system, each interaction performs the same function, so that this procedure can still be executed even if some interaction pathways fail. The processing output of this system can also allow multiple sets of interactions Perform the same task on the input > material and increase. The input data can be evenly distributed among these interaction groups, or the interaction of a specific group can be selected and used for a specific group according to the preset conditions. The input data, this condition is, for example, the usability of the hardware operated by these agents is close to the geographical location, or the priority given by these input data. In this embodiment, the components of this system can be modified. The interaction between them does not affect the operation of the system, so it is allowed to update the active structure and introduce new procedures or agents. However This is not a dynamic program in this embodiment. It can be achieved by defining two sets of interactions between the components of the system at the same time, each set of interactions being designed to perform the same function. By being merged into a new The second set of pre-defined interactions allows new agents and therefore new functions to be introduced into the system. This upgrade is made when the control flow system switches from using the first set of interactions to using the first set of parent interactions (Dagger can include new agents). The continuity of services can be ensured by this fact. That is, if the interaction of this second group cannot be satisfactorily operated, the control flow system can switch back to the first group Interaction. 02268 (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) ·, ^ τ— During the initial setup of the system, this control flow system or wiring layer 10 is defined for the system components and between them Interactive input and rotation data types. This wiring also allocates memory space 30, 32, and 34 for fixed data formats. When the system starts to operate The memory is prepared in advance 582178 A7 r — -----— 57_______ 5. The description of the invention (11) is ready to be used immediately by this system. The system that predefines interactions and allocates memory blocks may require a long system During the initial period, but the resulting system is static and stable from the beginning of this operation period. An embodiment of this system can provide other features of platforms 40, 42. These platforms can be provided in wiring 10 and agents 2 〇, 22, 24, 26, 26 and the interface between wiring 10 and memory space 30, 32, 34. Now referring to FIG. 3, this loosely coupled connection decentralized structure is applied to a special system. In this embodiment This structure is applied to the components of the SMS message network. This component is connected to each other on a separate network (such as the IP network 70) from the mobile telecommunications SS7 network 72. In the 8] ^ 8 messaging system, such network components may include: switching devices 86, 88 for transmitting messages between these components, and files 82, 84, which are included for mobile devices or for Location information for applications connected to the mobile telecommunications network 72. In this embodiment, the individual components on the IP network 70, for example, each monitor the status of the other components by using the "ping" command. These network components can communicate by sending messages to other | components on the network 70. In this embodiment, messages can be sent to all components on the network 70 at the same time, instead of being sent to specific components in response to a request for information. Each component can monitor messages sent to the network and use or store any relevant information contained in them. For example, when an application included in its file list becomes capable of receiving SMS messages, the location register files 82, 84 can send messages to the network 70. The switching components of network 86, 88 can store this information for later decision on which location register file 82, 84 to consult with the location of the application. _______ This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297mm) -14-
