Service-based communication method, unit, and system, and storage medium

A computing device acting as a first communication unit, the computing device comprising:

• a processor and a memory,
• the memory being configured to store instructions;
• and
• the processor, when executing the instructions, being configured to:
• obtain a target communication address through an interaction with a network repository function unit in a service framework, the target communication address being a first communication address corresponding to a service provided by a first destination service unit that needs to be accessed, the target communication address being provided by the network repository function unit according to a communication manner used by the first destination service unit, wherein
• the service framework supports services deployed in a direct communication manner and services deployed in an indirect communication manner, both through communication with the network repository function unit in the service framework,
• when the first destination service unit is a first service unit using the indirect communication manner, the target communication address is a communication address of a first service support unit that provides a service to the first service unit, and
• when the first destination service unit is a second service unit using the direct communication manner, the target communication address is a communication address of the second service unit;
• transmit a first service access request to the target communication address, the first service access request comprising a service type of the first destination service unit;
• and
• receive a service access response from the target communication address, the service access response being generated after the first destination service unit provides the service.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions that, when being executed by a processor of a computing device acting as a first communication unit, cause the first communication unit to performing a plurality of operations including:

• obtaining, by the first communication unit, a target communication address through an interaction with a network repository function unit in a service framework, the target communication address being a first communication address corresponding to a service provided by a first destination service unit that needs to be accessed, the target communication address being provided by the network repository function unit according to a communication manner used by the first destination service unit, wherein
• the service framework supports services deployed in a direct communication manner and services deployed in an indirect communication manner, both through communication with the network repository function unit in the service framework,
• when the first destination service unit is a first service unit using the indirect communication manner, the target communication address is a communication address of a first service support unit that provides a service to the first service unit, and
• when the first destination service unit is a second service unit using the direct communication manner, the target communication address is a communication address of the second service unit;
• transmitting, by the first communication unit, a first service access request to the target communication address, the first service access request comprising a service type of the first destination service unit;
• and
• receiving, by the first communication unit, a service access response from the target communication address, the service access response being generated after the first destination service unit provides the service.
