US 8,798,051 B2 · Information and communication processing system, method, and network node

Abstract

In a distributed information communication processing system in which a plurality of information communication devices provides a service through a network, response speed, electric power consumption, and further reliability are improved. The distributed information communication processing system which provides various services is configured by associating an entrance node (EN) which executes filtering near sensors, actuators, and terminals being information sources, an intelligent node (IN) which changes an information processing position and executes information processing and communication processing instead of a data center (DC), and a management node (MN) which manages these nodes. Thereby, real time type information processing can be realized.

Dependent claims

An information communication processing system comprising:

an information processing device configured to execute an application;
a plurality of terminals requesting services;
a first network node connected to the terminals;
a second network node connected to the first network node through a first network and connected to the information processing device through a second network;
and
a management node for managing the first network node and the second network node,
wherein:
the first network node is configured to send a packet having the information processing device as a destination through the second network node;
the second network node is configured to analyze the packet which is received from the first network node;
and
the information processing device is configured to execute the application when the packet is received through the second network node, and
the second network node is further configured to:
change the destination of the packet to a processor of the second network node when the processor of the second network node is able to perform processes associated with the analysis result, the packet, and the application, and
send a packet including a result processed by the processor of the second network node back to the first network node.

An information communication processing method for providing a service to a plurality of terminals, the method comprising the steps of:

connecting a first network node connected to at least one terminal to a second network node through a first network;
connecting the second network node to an information processing device through a second network;
and
for providing the service to the terminals:
sending a packet having the information processing device as a destination to the first network by using information obtained from the terminal in the first network node;
analyzing the packet received from the first network node by the second network node;
changing the destination of the packet to an information processing function unit of the second network node when the second network node receives the packet from the first network and when the information processing function unit of the second network node is able to perform processes associated with the analyzed result, the packet, and the application;
sending a packet including a result processed by the information processing function unit to the first network node by the second network node;
and
receiving the packet including the result by the first network node to provide the service to the terminal.
