Abstract

Provided are a channel connection management method comprising: registering a first command channel connected between a server and a first client; and transmitting a signal for requesting the connection of a data transmission channel to the first client through the first command channel

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A channel connection management method comprising:
registering a first command channel which is connected between a server and a first client; and transmitting a signal for requesting a connection of a data transmission channel to the first client through the first command channel.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first command channel remains continuously connected while the server and the first client are linked to each other.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first command channel is limited to transmit a preset command signal which comprises a signal for requesting channel connection and a signal for requesting channel disconnection.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein in the transmitting of the signal for requesting the connection of the data transmission channel, the signal for requesting the connection of the data transmission channel is transmitted when the server has data to transmit to the first client.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the data transmission channel is a first data transmission channel, the method further comprising judging a resource state of the server, wherein when the judged resource state indicates that a second data transmission channel can be connected, a signal for requesting a connection of the second data transmission channel is transmitted in the transmitting of the signal for requesting the connection of the first data transmission channel.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising transmitting a signal for requesting a disconnection of an unused channel through the first command channel.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein in the judging of the resource state of the server, the resource state of the server is judged after the unused channel is disconnected in response to the signal for requesting the disconnection of the unused channel.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting a data through the data transmission channel when the data transmission channel is connected in response to the signal for requesting the connection of the data transmission channel; and transmitting a signal, after the transmitting of the data is completed, for requesting a disconnection of the data transmission channel, which was connected in response to the signal for requesting the connection of the data transmission channel.

9 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising, when the judged resource state of the server indicates that at least one of the channels connected to the first client needs to be disconnected, transmitting a signal for requesting a disconnection of the at lest one of the channels connected to the first client through the first command channel.

10 . A channel connection management method comprising:
registering a first command channel connected between a server and a first client; judging a resource state of the server; and transmitting a signal for requesting a disconnection of at least one of the data transmission channels currently being used through the first command channel when the judged resource state of the server is at a preset level.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the transmitting of the signal for requesting the disconnection of the at least one of the data transmission channels currently being used comprises transmitting a signal for requesting the first client to disconnect the one of the at least one of the data transmission channels after the transmission of data currently being transmitted through the one of the at least one of the data transmission channels is completed.

12 . A channel connection management apparatus comprising:
a command channel registration unit which registers a first command channel which is connected between a server and a first client; and a channel connection request unit which transmits a signal for requesting a connection of a data transmission channel to the first client through the first command channel.

13 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein when the server has data to transmit to the first client, the channel connection request unit transmits the signal for requesting the connection of the data transmission channel.

14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , further comprising:
a data transmission and reception unit which transmits the data through the data transmission channel when the data transmission channel is connected in response to the signal for requesting the connection of the data transmission channel; and a connection request transmission unit which transmits a signal for requesting a disconnection of the data transmission channel, which was connected in response to the signal for requesting the connection of the data transmission channel, after the transmission of the data is completed.

15 . The apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising a disconnection request unit which transmits a request for requesting a disconnection of an unused channel through the first command channel.

16 . The apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising a channel disconnection request unit which, when a judged resource state of the server indicates that at least one of channels connected to the first client need to be disconnected, transmits a signal for requesting a disconnection of the at least one of the channels connected to the first client to the first client through the first command channel.

17 . A channel connection management apparatus comprising:
a command channel registration unit which registers a first command channel which is connected between a server and a first client; a disconnection request unit which transmits a signal for requesting a disconnection of a data transmission channel that is unused for more than a preset period of time to the first client through the first command channel; and a resource state judgment unit which judges a resource state of the server after the unused data transmission channel is disconnected, wherein when the judged resource state of the server is at a preset level, the disconnection request unit transmits a signal for requesting a disconnection of at least one of data transmission channels currently being used to the first client through the first command channel.
