Service network system and server device
A server device that represents a plurality of service provision servers implements authentication and a SIP message exchange with respect to a SIP server as a representative, and notifies a service provision server of client communication information that is acquired by the SIP message exchange. The service provision server communicates with a client on the basis of the client communication information that is notified from the representative server.
1. A service network system, comprising:
a plurality of service provision servers that provide information services;
a session management server discrete from the plurality of service provision servers, that executes a communication protocol for establishing and disconnecting a session according to a request from a client; and
a representative server discrete from the plurality of service provision serves and the session management server, that is representative of the plurality of service provision servers and executes the communication protocol with respect to the session management server,
wherein said representative server transmits a client address and first client communication information which are received from the client to a service provision server which is selected from the plurality of service provision servers, with the first client communication information having a key for setting up encrypted communication,
said representative server transmits a service provision server address and second client communication information related to encryption which are received from the selected service provision server to the client, with the second client communication information having a key for setting up encrypted communication, and
said selected service provision server and the client use the client address and the service provision server address provided by the representative server, to directly communicate with each other via encrypted communication set up using the first client communication information and the second client communication information provided by the representative server.
2. The service network system according to claim 1 ,
wherein said client transmits a plurality of client information pieces toward the representative server, and
said representative server selects client information from the plurality of client information pieces, and transmits the client information to the selected service provision server as the first client information.
3. The service network system according to claim 1 ,
wherein said client transmits the first client communication information including the plurality of client information pieces toward the representative server,
said representative server transmits the first client communication information to the selected service server, and
said selected service provision server selects the client communication information from the first client communication information.
4. A service network system, comprising:
a plurality of service provision servers that provide information services;
a session management server discrete from the plurality of service provision servers, that executes a communication protocol for establishing and disconnecting a session according to a request from a client; and
a representative server discrete from the plurality of service provision serves and the session management server, that is representative of the plurality of service provision servers and executes the communication protocol with respect to the session management server,
wherein said representative server transfers a client Internet Protocol (IP) address and first client communication information which are received from the client for use by one of the service provision servers to communicate with the client, to a service provision server which is selected from the plurality of service provision servers, with the first client communication information having a key for setting up encrypted communication,
said representative server transfers a service provision server IP address and second client communication information related to encryption which are received from the selected service provision server for use by the client to communicate with the service provision server to the client, with the second client communication information having a key for setting up encrypted communication, and
said selected service provision server and the client use the client address and the service provision server address provided by the representative server, to directly communicate with each other via encrypted communication set up using the first client communication information and the second client communication information provided by the representative server.
