Abstract

Provided are a telematics transport gateway and an operating method thereof. The telematics transport gateway, includes: a message transporting/receiving unit for receiving service request messages, transmitting the service request messages to a service providing server, receiving a service response message and transporting the service response message to the telematics terminal; a message processing unit for analyzing whether a format of the service request messages is Short Message Service (SMS), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), or Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP); a controlling unit for extracting user information from the service request message, transmitting the user information to an authentication managing unit and a charging unit, and maintaining a session with the telematics terminal; the authentication managing unit for performing authentication and transporting an authentication result to the controlling unit; and the charging unit for charging for the service.

Claims

1. A telematics transport gateway, comprising:

a message transporting/receiving means for receiving service request messages of diverse formats from a telematics terminal, transporting the service request messages to a service providing server, receiving a service response message corresponding to the service request message from the service providing server and transmiting the service response message to the telematics terminal;

a message processing means for analyzing whether a format of the service request messages received in the message transporting/receiving means is Short Message Service (SMS), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), or Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP);

a controlling means for extracting user information from the service request message analyzed in the message processing means, transmitting the user information to an authentication managing means and a charging means, and maintaining a session with the telematics terminal;

the authentication managing means for performing authentication based on user information from the controlling means and transporting an authentication result to the controlling means; and

the charging means for charging for the service based on the user information transmitted from the controlling means.

2. A method for operating a telematics transport gateway, comprising the steps of:

a) receiving service request messages of diverse formats from a telematics terminal;

b) analyzing whether a format of the transported service request messages is Short Message Service (SMS), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), or Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP);

c) transmitting the service request messages to a service providing server through a corresponding module according to the analyze result;

d) performing authentication by extracting user information from the transported service request message; and

e) extracting user information from the transported service request message and charging for the service based on the user information.
