First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of performing a resource management in a machine to machine (M2M) network, the method comprising:
- receiving a request message associated with a specific resource from an issuer;
determining a substitute resource to replace the specific resource, based on correlation information between resources when the specific resource is unavailable;
obtaining location information of a service capability layer (SCL) where the substitute resource resides; and
transferring the request message to the SCL of the substitute resource by using the location information.

Abstract
The disclosure is related to managing resources in an M2M network. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to performing a resource management by using a substitute resource in place of a failure resource in an M2M network. More specifically, in the case that a failure occurs in a specific resource associated with a request message, the present embodiment may select a substitute resource using a correlation between resources, and transfer the request message to the selected substitute resource. Herein, the resource management may be performed by a virtual service capability layer (SCL).

14. An apparatus for performing a resource management in a machine to machine (M2M) network, the apparatus comprising:
-
a monitoring processor configured to collect attributes of resources associated with the M2M network; an analysis processor configured to analyze the collected attributes of the resources and to obtain information on correlation between the resources based on an analysis result of the collected attributes of the resources; and a virtual SCL creation processor configured to create a virtual service capability layer (SCL) based on the obtained correlation information, wherein the virtual SCL is configured to; (i) receive a request message from an issuer; (ii) select a substitute resource based on the obtained correlation information, when a resource associated with the request message is unavailable; (iii) obtain location information on the selected substitute resource; and (iv) transfer the request message to an SCL of the substitute resource by using the location information. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
