Abstract

Disclosed is a method for controlling a session between devices on a network including a plurality of devices, including: receiving a session control request message from a control device, wherein the session control request message represents a message for operating a session control between a first device and a second device; transmitting a triggering message for a specific control operation to the first device on the basis of the received session control request message; performing the session control between the first device and the second device by using the triggering message; and receiving a triggering response message from the first device, wherein the triggering response message indicates a result of performing the session control.

Claims

1. A method for controlling a session between devices on a network including a plurality of devices, the method comprising:

receiving a session control request message from a control device, wherein the session control request message represents a message for operating a session control between a first device and a second device;

transmitting a triggering message for a specific control operation to the first device based on the received session control request message;

performing the session control between the first device and the second device by using the triggering message; and

receiving a triggering response message from the first device,

wherein the triggering response message indicates a result of performing the session control.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting a session control response message to the control device, based on the triggering response message.

3. The method of claim 2,

wherein at least one of the session control request message and the session control response message is based on a first protocol, and at least one of the triggering message and the triggering response message is based on a second protocol,

wherein the first protocol is different from the second protocol.

4. The method of claim 1,

wherein the session control request message represents a session creation request message, a session termination request message or a session status request message.

5. The method of claim 4,

wherein when the session control request message represents the session creation request message, the session creation request message includes identification information of the first device and identification information of the second device.

6. The method of claim 4,

wherein when the session control request message represents the session creation request message,

if a session creation is successfully performed, the session control response message includes at least one of a result code indicating a success, a created session identification information and status information indicating a session creation, and

if a session creation fails, the session control response message includes at least one of a result code indicating a failure and failure reason information.

7. The method of claim 4,

wherein when the session control request message represents the session termination request message, the session termination request message includes at least one of created session identification information, first device reference information and second device reference information.

8. The method of claim 4,

wherein when the session control request message represents the session termination request message, the session control response message includes at least one of a result code indicating a success or a failure, first device reference information and second device reference information.

9. The method of claim 4,

wherein when the session control request message represents the session status request message, the session status request message includes at least one of address information for obtaining a session status and created session identification information.

10. The method of claim 4,

wherein when the session control request message represents the session status request message, the session status response message includes session status information,

wherein the session status information includes at least one of associated device information, session routing information and session path information.

15. The method of claim 2,

wherein the session control request message represents a session creation request message, a session termination request message or a session status request message.

11. An apparatus for controlling a session between devices on a network including a plurality of devices, the device comprising:

a network interface configured to transmit a message to at least one of the plurality of devices or receive the message from the at least one of the plurality of devices;

a controller configured to receive a session control request message from a control device,

transmit a triggering message for a specific control operation to a first device on the basis of the received session control request message, and receive a triggering response message from the first device,

wherein the session control request message represents a message for operating a session control between the first device and a second device,

wherein the triggering response message indicates a result of performing the session control, and

wherein the session control between the first device and the second device is performed by using the triggering message.

12. The apparatus of claim 11,

wherein the controller is further configured to transmit a session control response message to the control device, on the basis of the triggering response message.

13. The apparatus of claim 12,

wherein at least one of the session control request message and the session control response message is based on a first protocol, and at least one of the triggering message and the triggering response message is based on a second protocol,

wherein the first protocol is different with the second protocol

14. The apparatus of claim 11,

wherein the session control request message represents a session creation request message, a session termination request message or a session status request message.

16. The apparatus of claim 12,

wherein the session control request message represents a session creation request message, a session termination request message or a session status request message.
