US 2006/0224717 A1 · Management system for warranting consistency between inter-client communication logs

Abstract

In inter-peer communication between an application server for providing service such as Voice over IP or contents distribution and a client using the service, the client or the application server notifies a log management server of a communication log by a log information process. The log management server verifies consistency of the notified communication log by a log compare process requested by the client or the application server. Because the log information process and the log compare process are executed periodically during inter-peer communication, the client and the application server can detect inconsistency of the communication log instantaneously and notify each other of the consistency of the communication log.

Dependent claims

A communication management apparatus for managing contents of communication exchanged between a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus, comprising:

a communication information management control portion for extracting first communication information indicating contents of communication with the second communication apparatus from a message received from the first communication apparatus, and extracting second communication information indicating contents of communication with the first communication apparatus from a message received from the second communication apparatus;
a communication information storage portion for storing the communication information extracted by the communication information management control portion;
and
a communication information verification portion for comparing the contents of the first and second communication information stored in the communication information storage portion.

1 more element

A communication management system for managing contents of communication exchanged between a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus, comprising:

a first communication management apparatus for extracting and storing first communication information which is contained in a message received from the first communication apparatus and which expresses contents of communication with the second communication apparatus;
and
a second communication management apparatus for extracting and storing second communication information which is contained in a message received from the second communication apparatus and which expresses contents of communication with the first communication apparatus, wherein the first communication management apparatus acquires the second communication information from the second communication apparatus to thereby compare the contents of the second communication information with the contents of the first communication information.
