US 8,145,937 B2 · System and method for communication error processing in outside channel combination environment

Abstract

Provided are a system and method for processing communication errors in an outside channel combination environment. The system includes: first and second outside-affairs servers connected with a plurality of user terminals and having respective outside-affairs processing applications to perform outside affairs associated with a plurality of outside authorities; first and second outside channel combination servers for processing outside affairs associated with the outside authorities, the first and second outside channel combination servers having respective message relaying and communication applications to interwork with the first and second outside-affairs servers; first and second active and standby network devices respectively connected in parallel with the first and second outside channel combination servers, the first and second active network devices performing normal outside affairs, and the first and second standby network devices being activated when a communication error is generated to perform the normal outside affairs; and first and second switching devices respectively provided between the first and second active and standby network devices and the outside authorities to selectively connect the first and second active and standby network devices when the communication error is generated. Thus, communication errors can be minimized and system resources can be efficiently managed by distributing system loads.

(a) in normal operation of the system, transferring messages to and from a plurality of outside authorities connected by a private line, the messages for processing banking transaction affairs including bank deposits, bank payments, credit card transactions, insurance transactions, and/or financial securities transactions via a path composed of the first outside-affairs server, the first outside channel combination server, the first active network device, and the first switching device;
(b) in normal operation of the system, transferring messages to and from the outside authorities connected by a private line, the messages for processing banking transaction affairs including bank deposits, bank payments, credit card transactions, insurance transactions, and/or financial securities transactions via a path composed of the second outside-affairs server, the second outside channel combination server, the second active network device, and the second switching device;
(c) when a communication error is generated in the first outside-affairs server, processing, by the second outside-affairs server, all outside affairs including outside affairs that have been processed by the first outside-affairs server, and transferring the messages to and from the outside authorities connected by a private line, the messages for processing banking transaction affairs including bank deposits, bank payments, credit card transactions, insurance transactions, and/or financial securities transactions via the path composed of the second outside-affairs server, the first outside channel combination server, the first active network device, and the first switching device;
and (d) when a communication error is generated in the second outside-affairs server, processing, by the first outside-affairs server, all outside affairs including outside affairs that have been processed by the second outside-affairs server, and transferring the messages to and from the outside authorities connected by a private line, the messages for processing banking transaction affairs including bank deposits, bank payments, credit card transactions, insurance transactions, and/or financial securities transactions via the path composed of the first outside-affairs server, the second outside channel combination server, the second active network device, and the second switching device.
