Further, the database monitoring apparatus 110a is not provided between the service management apparatuses 100a and 103a and the database apparatus 120, and does not necessarily relay communication between these apparatuses. In the database monitoring apparatus 110a, the database update notification unit 1102a transmits the access information of the database apparatus 120 to one of the service management apparatuses 100a and 103a (for example, the service management apparatus 100a in this embodiment).

Next, the flow of operation processing in the cooperative service providing system 1a of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation flow of sharing information between the service management apparatus 100a and the service management apparatus 103a when the database apparatus 120 is updated in the cooperative service providing system 1a according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG.
For example, when the database update terminal device 111 tries to update the shared information stored in the database device 120, the database update terminal device 111 transmits a database access request such as a database update request to the database monitoring device 110a ( Step S201).

In the database monitoring device 110a, the access information aggregating unit 1101 writes the content of the received database access request in the access information temporary storage unit 1103, and transfers (relays) the received database access request content to the database device 120 (step). S202).
The database device 120 executes data processing for updating the shared information in accordance with the received database access request, and transmits an access response including the processing result to the database monitoring device 110a (step S203).

  In the database monitoring apparatus 110a that has received the access response, the access information aggregation unit 1101 detects the access content based on the database access request held in the access information temporary storage unit 1103 and the received access response (step S204). ). This access content detection process detects from the process type information included in the database access request that the process content is an update of user information in the database device 120, and also identifies user information to be processed. This is processing for extracting information (for example, a user ID) from either a database access request or a database access response.

The access information aggregating unit 1101 transmits the access response received from the database device 120 to the database update terminal device 111, and the database update notification unit 1102a transmits the processing content of the detected database access request and the user information identification information to be processed. (Step S205). The database update notification unit 1102a transmits access information including the input processing content and user information identification information to the inter-service management apparatus information sharing processing unit 101a of the service management apparatus 100a (step S206).
The access information is not limited to the combination of the processing content and the user information identification information. If the information necessary for searching the update information of the database device 120 is described, for example, only the user information identification information or Any information such as update date and time information may be used.

In the inter-service management apparatus information sharing processing unit 101a, the update processing unit 1012 receives the access information via the notification processing unit 1013. The update processing unit 1012 transmits a data request including user information identification information added to the access information to the database device 120 as a signal for requesting updated data (step S207). The database device 120 transmits the latest user information corresponding to the user information identification information of the data request to the service management device 100a as a data response (step S208).
The update processing unit 1012 outputs a shared information update request that reflects the received data response including the latest information to the shared information storage unit 102-1 (step S209), and the shared information stored in the shared information storage unit 102-1 Is updated (step S210).

  On the other hand, in the inter-service management apparatus information sharing processing unit 101a, the notification processing unit 1013 outputs the access information to the update processing unit 1012 in step S207 and transmits the access information to the service management apparatus 103a (step S211). Note that the content of the access information conforms to the access information received in step S206, such as duplicate data of the received access information.

  Thereafter, in the same manner as steps S207 to S210 described above, in the inter-service management apparatus information sharing processing unit 104a, the update processing unit 1042 transmits a data request to the database device 120 according to the received access information (step S212). A data response is received from the database device 120 (step S213). The update processing unit 1042 outputs a shared information update request to the shared information storage unit 105-1 based on the received data response (step S214), thereby updating the shared information in the shared information storage unit 105-1 to the latest information. (Step S215).

  The database monitoring device 110a may execute the access information transmission processing in step S206 every time a database access request is received from the database update terminal device 111, or the database monitoring device 110a may execute a certain time or access. The access information notification may be transmitted after accumulating access information up to a predetermined data amount in the information temporary storage unit 1103. Further, the notification processing unit 1013 may execute the access information transmission processing in step S211 each time an access information notification is received from the database monitoring apparatus 110a, or accumulates access information for a predetermined time or a predetermined amount of data. After that, transmission processing of the access information to the service management apparatus 103a may be executed. Thereby, the number of connection establishment processes at the time of information sharing of the database monitoring apparatus 110a and the service management apparatuses 100a and 103a can be reduced, and the communication load and the processing load can be reduced.

  The notification processing unit 1013 of the service management apparatus 100a transmits access information including the response data acquired from the database apparatus 120 in steps S207 and S208 when transmitting the access information to another service management apparatus in step S211. That's fine. In this case, the service management apparatus 103a can synchronize the shared information with the access information received from the notification processing unit 1013 of the service management apparatus 100a without acquiring the updated shared information from the database apparatus 120. Thereby, there is an effect that the access load to the database device 120 can be reduced.

Next, a process for synchronizing the updated temporary information with another execution control processing apparatus during the update process of the temporary information stored as shared information in any of the service management apparatuses in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. To do.
FIG. 4 shows an operation of synchronizing the update of temporary information stored in the shared information storage unit 102-2 between the service management apparatus 100a and the service management apparatus 103a in the cooperative service providing system 1a according to the first embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of.

  For example, when the shared information stored in the shared information storage unit 102-2 in the service management apparatus 100a is updated by a cooperative service execution process or the like in the service management apparatus 100a, the temporary information update notification unit 1011 includes the shared information storage unit. The update of the temporary information stored in 102-2 is detected (step S301), and the update information including the updated temporary information is transmitted to the inter-service management apparatus information sharing processing unit 104a of the service management apparatus 103a (step S301). S302).

In the inter-service management apparatus information sharing processing unit 104a, the update processing unit 1042 extracts the updated temporary information added to the update information from the received update information. The update processing unit 1042 outputs a shared information update request for requesting writing, deleting, and rewriting processing of the extracted temporary information to the shared information storage unit 105-2 (step S303). The temporary information stored in the shared information storage unit 105-2 is updated (step S304).
Through the processing described above, the temporary information updated only in the service management apparatus 100a can be shared between the service management apparatuses 103a which are other apparatuses. Accordingly, the service management apparatuses 100a and 103a have information shared by each. Therefore, even if the service management apparatus 100a fails during service execution to the terminal apparatuses 140 and 141, the service management apparatus 103a can take over the processing, and the terminal apparatuses 140 and 141 can renew the user ID, authentication information, etc. The service can be continuously executed without transmission.

  The access information aggregating apparatus 130 includes a notification processing unit 1301 and notifies all the service management apparatuses (in this case, the service management apparatuses 100b and 103b) of the notification of the received shared information update. The notification processing unit 1301 stores address information of the service management devices 100b and 103b in advance, receives an access information notification from the database monitoring device 110b, and transmits the received access information notification to the service management devices 100b and 103b. Relay processing is performed. Further, the notification processing unit 1301 receives the update information notification of the temporary information from the service management devices 100b and 103b, and transmits update information for notifying the service management device other than the transmission source of the update of the temporary information. As a result, the notification processing unit 1301 notifies the service management apparatus whose shared information has not been updated of update information or information for accessing the update information.

  Next, operation processing in the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of operations for sharing information between the service management apparatuses 100b and 103b when the database apparatus 120 is updated in the cooperative service providing system 1b of the present embodiment. In the figure, the same operation numbers as those in FIG. 3 are given the same step numbers, and different processes will be described.

In the cooperative service providing system 1b, after the database monitoring device 110b performs steps S201 to S205, the database update notification unit 1102b of the database monitoring device 110b receives the information indicating the access contents and the user as in step S206 of FIG. Access information including the information identification information is transmitted to the access information aggregating apparatus 130 (step S506).
The access information aggregation device 130 transmits the access information to the service management device information sharing processing units 101b and 104b (steps S507 and S508).

The inter-service management apparatus information sharing processing unit 101b performs update processing of shared information in the shared information storage unit 102-1 in the same manner as the processing in steps S207 to S210 in FIG. Further, the inter-service management apparatus information sharing processing unit 104b performs a process for updating the shared information in the shared information storage unit 105-1 in the same manner as the processes in steps S212 to S215.
The access information aggregating apparatus 130 may execute the access information notification processing in steps S507 and S508 each time an access information notification is received from the database monitoring apparatus 110b, or an access for a predetermined time or a predetermined amount of data. The access information notification process may be executed after the information is stored. As a result, the number of connection establishment processes between the access information aggregating apparatus 130 and the service management apparatuses 100b and 103b can be reduced, and the communication load and the processing load can be reduced.

  Next, in the present embodiment, a process of synchronizing the updated temporary information with another execution control processing apparatus at the time of updating the temporary information stored as shared information by any of the execution control processing apparatuses will be described with reference to FIG. explain. FIG. 7 shows an operation of synchronizing the update of temporary information stored in the shared information storage unit 102-2 between the service management apparatus 100b and the service management apparatus 103b in the cooperative service providing system 1b according to the second embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of. In the figure, the same operation numbers as those in FIG. 4 are denoted by the same step numbers, and different processes will be described.

  For example, when the shared information stored in the shared information storage unit 102-2 in the service management apparatus 100b is updated by a cooperative service execution process or the like in the service management apparatus 100b, the temporary information update notification unit 1011 Update of the temporary information stored in 102-2 is detected (step S301), and update information including the update content is transmitted to the access information aggregating apparatus 130 (step S602).

  The access information aggregating apparatus 130 transmits the received update information to a service management apparatus other than the transmission source (here, the service management apparatus 103b) (step S603). In the inter-service management apparatus information sharing processing unit 104b, the update processing unit 1042 extracts the updated temporary information added to the update information from the received update information. The update processing unit 1042 transmits a shared information update request for requesting writing, deleting, and rewriting processing of the extracted temporary information to the shared information storage unit 105-2 (step S303), and the shared information storage unit 105-2 stores the shared information update request. Temporary information update processing is performed (step S304).

Through the processing described above, the service management apparatus 100b can share the internally updated temporary information with the service management apparatus 103b which is another apparatus. Even if the service management apparatus 100b breaks down during execution of the service to the terminal device 140 or the terminal device 141, the service is continued without causing the terminal devices 140 and 141 to transmit the user ID or the authentication information again. Can be executed.
As described above, according to the present embodiment described above, the access information aggregation device 130 includes the notification processing unit 1301, and the notification processing unit 1301 centrally manages the addresses of the service management devices 100b and 103b. It becomes possible to synchronize shared information without always grasping address information of other service management apparatuses.

  Note that the access information aggregating apparatus 130 may obtain updated user information from the database apparatus 120 based on the access information received from the database monitoring apparatus 110b after the process of step S506 in FIG. In this case, the access information aggregating apparatus 130 transmits access information including the response data acquired from the database apparatus 120 when transmitting the access information to the service management apparatuses 100b and 103b in step S507. Thereby, there is an effect that the access load to the database device 120 can be reduced.
