Abstract

An apparatus for controlling components of an application includes an assembly controller that outputs a driving control signal by using an application, at least one component, and a resource factory that controls the driving of the component based on the driving control signal output from the assembly controller, wherein the resource factory confirms the workload of a component in the corresponding resource factory and senses the congestion situation according to the workload of the component to control the number of components in the corresponding resource factory.

Claims

1. An apparatus for controlling components of an application, the application comprising:

a resource factory that controls driving of a built-in component,

wherein the resource factory includes a confirmation unit that confirms a workload of the built-in component and a controller that determines whether the corresponding component is congested according to the workload confirmed by the confirmation unit and controls the increase and decrease of the component by the determination.

2. The apparatus for controlling components of an application according to claim 1, wherein the controller compares the workload of the confirmed component with a registered congestion control threshold to determine whether the corresponding component is congested.

3. The apparatus for controlling components of an application according to claim 1, wherein it is determined that the congestion situation occurs in the component, the controller adds one or more component.

4. The apparatus for controlling component of application according to claim 3, wherein when the congestion situation occurs in the component, the controller sequentially adds the components.

5. The apparatus for controlling components of an application according to claim 3, wherein when the congestion situation occurs in the component, the controller adds a plurality of components according to the congestion amount occurring in the component.

6. The apparatus for controlling component of application according to claim 3, wherein the controller divides work assigned to the component that is in the congestion situation and assigns the divided work to the added one or more component.

7. The apparatus for controlling components of an application according to claim 3, wherein the controller adds components until the workload of the component that is in the congestion situation is the registered congestion control threshold or less.

8. The apparatus for controlling components of an application according to claim 3, wherein the controller confirms the workload of the added component from the confirmation unit when the congestion situation occurs to remove the worked component among the added components.

9. The apparatus for controlling components of an application according to claim 1, wherein the resource factory is provided in plural.

10. The apparatus for controlling component of application according to claim 9, wherein the plurality of resource factories are set connection between each resource factory.

11. The apparatus for controlling component of application according to claim 9, wherein the resource factory includes an input port receiving signals transmitted from other resource factories and an output port that transmits signals from the corresponding resource factory to other resource factories.

12. A method for controlling components of an application including a resource factory that controls driving of a built-in component, comprising:

confirming workload of the built-in component by the resource factory;

determining whether the corresponding component is congested according to the confirmed workload in the confirmation step; and

controlling the increase and decrease of the component according to the determination result.

13. The method for controlling component of application according to claim 12, wherein the determining includes comparing the workload of the component built in the corresponding resource factory and a registered congestion control threshold.

14. The method for controlling components of an application according to claim 13, wherein when the workload of the component built in the corresponding resource factory exceeds the registered congestion control threshold according to the comparison result of the comparing step, it is determined that the congestion situation occurs.

15. The method for controlling components of an application according to claim 12, wherein if it is determined that the congestion situation occurs in the component, the controlling includes adding one or more component.

16. The method for controlling components of an application according to claim 15, wherein the adding one or more component sequentially adds the component.

17. The method for controlling components of an application according to claim 15, wherein the adding one or more component adds a plurality of components according to the congestion amount occurring in the components.

18. The method for controlling component of application according to claim 15, further comprising dividing work assigned to the components that are in the congestion situation and assigning the divided work to the added components.

19. The method for controlling component of application according to claim 15, wherein the adding is performed until the workload of the components that are in the congestion situation is the registered congestion control threshold or less.

20. The method for controlling components of an application according to claim 15, wherein the controlling further includes confirming the workload of the added components to remove the worked components among the added components.
