Definitions
- This invention relates to an infrastructure for billing and authorizing web services.
- the invention relates to web services packaging.
- each web service provider can host any number of web services.
- Each web service can contain any number of functions (or methods), which can potentially be billed in a different manner.
- Service providers might wish to tailor billing and authorization schemes for each function to its clients. Therefore, the permutation of user to billing/authorization pairs to be maintained can be large.
- Each billing and authorization method can take on any number of parameters. For example, a pay per use billing scheme can be tagged with any price. Groups of functions, perhaps across web services, might only make sense to be billed and authorized the same way. For example, there are blur image effect filters published by different companies and distributed across different web services. Billing schemes can vary across time and temporal cycles. For example, a web service provider might want to charge more during busy hours. Authorization may be independent of billing schemes. For example, the administrator might want to temporarily deny a user from accessing certain functions. However, the billing scheme should remain effective once the restriction is lifted. Finally, some billing methods are intrinsically tied to authorization. For example, the client might pay $100 to use a given web service function one hundred times. Afterwards, the web service will have to become unavailable.
- the web services packaging system comprises a repository for storing information relating to methods of a plurality of web services organized into bundles, and an authorization module for authorizing a client application to access methods in one of the bundles.

- the metering module 230 communicates with the repository 110 and the billing module 240 , and exchange information.
- the billing module 240 also communicates with the other components and exchange information for billing purposes.
- the metering module 230 records events that take place that can later be used for analysis.
- One client of the metering module 230 is the billing module 240 .
- Billing schemes may be created such that the billing module 240 requires information regarding which web services methods 303 a client application 15 has used. Such information is tracked by the metering module 230 and stored in the repository 110 .
- the metering module 230 may pass the web services methods 303 usage information directly to the billing module 240 to be used or stored for later use.
- FIG. 3 shows client applications 15 assigned to packages 301 comprising of bundles 302 .
- the bundles 302 comprise web services methods or routines 303 which a client application 15 may use when calling web services methods 303 .
- the basic bundle 302 contains matrix manipulation, math, miscellaneous, and third party web services methods 303 .
- Web services methods are registered in the repository 110 .
- the web services methods are then grouped into bundles 302 .
- Client applications 15 may also register with the web services packaging system 200 .
- Client applications 15 usage rights relating to the bundles 302 are stored in the repository 110 .
- the authorization module 120 determines if a client application 15 is authorized to access a web services method in that bundle 302 .
- a package 301 is a set of bundles 302 .
- Package 1 contains a basic bundle, a file conversion bundle, an a text editing bundle.
- Package 2 contains a basic bundle, a bitmap methods bundle, a vector methods bundle, and a special effects bundle.
- a bundle is a set (or group) of web services methods 303 which may come from several different web services.
- Other packages 301 containing other combinations of bundles 302 may be created.
- Web services methods 303 of the bundles 302 in a package 301 are billed and authorized in the same manner.
- a bundle 302 simplifies the authorization to access a set of web services methods 303 in the bundle 302 . If the user or client application has authorization to access the bundle 302 , then the user or client application has authorization to access each method 303 in the bundle 302 .
- a package 301 allows for customization of billing for the bundles 302 .
- each package contains the same two bundles 302 , Bundle 1 and Bundle 2 .
- Package 3 may set Bundle 1 on a per-per-use billing sheme and Bundle 2 on a flat rate billing scheme.
- Package 4 may set both Bundle 1 and Bundle 2 on a flat rate billing sheme.
- packages 301 allow for billing flexibility and billing customization of bundles 302 .
- packages 301 allow for billing flexibilty and billing customiztion of web services methods 303 .
- Tables or records in the repository 110 may contain identifications of methods 303 belonging to web services registered with the web services packaging system 200 . Methods 303 of different web services may be organized together into a bundle 302 .
- Packages 301 organize bundles 302 into default billing/authorization plans to which client applications 15 may subscribe.
- the same bundle can reside in different packages 301 , with different billing/authorization specifications.
- the basic bundle is contained in both packages 301 .
- subscribers can be offered combinations of methods 303 they desire without having to subscribe to a web service.
- a client application 15 may only subscribe to one package 301 .
- This limitation advantageously reduces the logistics since allowing a client application to subscribe to more than one package 301 may create a potential scenario of the two packages 301 both containing the same bundle 302 (or even different bundles 302 with the same methods) but associated with a different billing/authorization plan.
- the basic bundle in Package 1 is priced at $1 per use and is limited to use on weekdays.
- the basic bundle in Package 2 contains the same web services methods the basic bundle in Package 1 . However, there are no limitations to availability for the basic bundle in Package 2 and therefore, a price of $2 per use is assigned to Package 2 .
- a web service administrator can override the default billing/authorization plan specified in the package 301 to which a client application 15 subscribes.
- this allows for further flexibility for billing client applications 15 .
- Billing and/or authorization schemes may be created to vary depending on the time of day, day of the week, week of the month, etc.
- billing/authorization may expire after a set amount of time has passed since the package 301 was assigned to the client application.
- a client application may sign up for a trial package of web services that allows the client application to use the services for a trial period, like a month, after which access will expire.
- the system 200 may be designed to be aware of time and temporal cycles using time stamps as to when the client application signed up, the server clock, and other means of measuring time available to the server upon which the web services packaging system is implemented.
- the metering module 230 and authorization module 120 modules may employ a plug-in architecture which allows new components to be easily added without changing the core architecture.
- This plug-in archetecture can be accomplished.
- the core architecture searches for the existence of billing/authorization schemes on a particular location of the server in which the web services packaging system 200 is implemented. Since the architecture can be designed to always search the same location, additional schemes can be added. For example, other bundles 302 may be added to a package 301 , or other web services methods 303 may be added to a bundle 302 .
- the determination of a client application's permissions to use a given resource may depend on the current standing of the client application's billing data. For example, if a client application's billing type specifies that the client application has paid a certain fee which allows the client application to make X number of calls to a bundle of methods, then on the (X+1)th call that client application will not be authorized to make the call. To achieve this, the authorization module 120 may query the metering module 230 , or the metering module 230 may set some state in the authorization module 120 .
- FIG. 4 shows a method for billing and authorization of web services ( 400 ) in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the method ( 400 ) begins with providing a listing of web service functionality (i.e., a listing of packages 301 ) to which a client application 15 may subscribe ( 401 ). Subscribed client applications are given access to method calls 303 of web services contained in bundles 302 of a package 301 to which they are a subscriber ( 402 ). Access to web services method calls 303 contained in the bundles 302 is metered ( 403 ). The web services usage is billed pursuant to the billing scheme of the package 301 ( 404 ). The method is done ( 405 ).

Abstract
Description
- This patent application claims priority from U.S. Patent Application No. 60/324,191 entitled “Web Services Infrastructure”, Atwal et. al., filed Sep. 21, 2001.
- This invention relates to an infrastructure for billing and authorizing web services. In particular, the invention relates to web services packaging.
- Software developers wish to provide programmatic functionality over the Internet through the creation of web services. These web services provide some valuable technology in which the developer has expertise. A web services is often deployed in such a way that the user of the web service has a direct connection with a server hosing the web service. For example, if there are ten servers hosting different web services, then there are ten “connection points” into the different web services.
- One problem that arises from this process of exposing the web services for consumption over the web by client applications is that in order to create revenues, the web services must also incorporate billing of the users, auditing of all transactions that occur, administration of users and billing schemes and any other common functionality that arises from the fact that a web service is being sold to a customer. For example, each web service provider can host any number of web services. Each web service can contain any number of functions (or methods), which can potentially be billed in a different manner. Service providers might wish to tailor billing and authorization schemes for each function to its clients. Therefore, the permutation of user to billing/authorization pairs to be maintained can be large.
- There are many complexities regarding billing and authorization. Each billing and authorization method can take on any number of parameters. For example, a pay per use billing scheme can be tagged with any price. Groups of functions, perhaps across web services, might only make sense to be billed and authorized the same way. For example, there are blur image effect filters published by different companies and distributed across different web services. Billing schemes can vary across time and temporal cycles. For example, a web service provider might want to charge more during busy hours. Authorization may be independent of billing schemes. For example, the administrator might want to temporarily deny a user from accessing certain functions. However, the billing scheme should remain effective once the restriction is lifted. Finally, some billing methods are intrinsically tied to authorization. For example, the client might pay $100 to use a given web service function one hundred times. Afterwards, the web service will have to become unavailable.
- There is currently no way of providing billing and authorization flexibility in web services. It is therefore desirable to provide means for providing better billing and authorization of web services.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a novel system and method for providing better billing and authorization of web services that obviates or mitigates at least one of the problems described above.
- In an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a web services packaging system. The web services packaging system comprises a repository for storing information relating to methods of a plurality of web services organized into bundles, and an authorization module for authorizing a client application to access methods in one of the bundles. Each bundle has one or more methods from one or more web services.
- In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for packaging web services. The method comprising steps of storing information relating to methods of a plurality of web services organized into bundles, and authorizing a client application to access methods in one of the bundles. Each bundle has one or more methods from one or more web services.
- In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided computer readable media storing the instructions and/or statements for use in the execution in a computer of a method for packaging web services. The method comprises steps of storing information relating to methods of a plurality of web services organized into bundles, and authorizing a client application to access methods in one of the bundles. Each bundle has one or more methods from one or more web services.
- In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided electronic signals for use in the execution in a computer of a method for packaging web services. The method comprising steps of storing information relating to methods of a plurality of web services organized into bundles, and authorizing a client application to access methods in one of the bundles. Each bundle has one or more methods from one or more web services.
- In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computer program product for use in the execution in a computer of a method for packaging web services. The computer program product comprises a repository for storing information relating to methods of a plurality of web services organized into bundles, and an authorization module for authorizing a client application to access methods in one of the bundles. Each bundle has one or more methods from one or more web services.
- Other aspects and features of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from a review of the following detailed description of preferred embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- The invention will be further understood from the following description with reference to the drawings in which:
- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a web services packaging system in accordance with an embodiment of the invention;
- FIG. 2 is a diagram showing bundling on a per-client application basis in accordance with an embodiment of the invention;
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a method for billing and authorization of web services in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; and
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a web service deployment environment in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- A web service comprises one or more methods which users or client applications may invoke. Different web services may have a different amount of methods. In embodiments of the present invention, web services are registered with a central repository. Identifications of the methods of the web services are stored in the repository and grouped into bundles. A bundle of methods contains one or more methods from one or more web services. For example, consider four web services where a first web service contains 10 methods, a second web service contains 20 methods, a third web service contains 100 methods, and a fourth web service contains 50 methods. A bundle may be created to contain one method which belongs to the first web service, two methods which belong to a second web service, and six methods which belong to a fourth web service. Another bundle may be created to contain six methods which belong to the first web services, 11 methods which belong to the second web service, 71 methods which belongs to the third web service, and all 50 methods which belong to the fourth web service. Other combinations of methods belonging to a plurality of web services containing a plurality of methods may be created.
- FIG. 1 shows an example of a web
services packaging system 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The webservices packaging system 100 comprises arepository 110, and anauthorization module 120. Therepository 110 contains information relating to methods of a plurality of web services organized into bundles. Each bundle has one or more methods from one or more web services. Therepository 110 may be a database with fields and tables for storing the web service addresses, web service methods, web service method names, client application rights, costs, and other information. Theauthorization module 120 is used for authorizing a client application to access methods in one of the bundles. Theauthorization module 120 restricts access to the web service methods to authorized or registered client applications. Theauthorization module 120 communicates with therepository 110 to exchanges information for authorization purposes. These components may be software code implemented on a server or code embedded in hardware. Components may be added or removed from the webservices billing system 100. For example, a registration unit may be added to the webservices billing system 100 for registering web service with thesystem 100. - FIG. 2 shows another example of a web
services packaging system 200 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The packaging system comprises arepository 110, anauthorization module 120, ametering module 230, and abilling module 240. Themetering module 230 is used to track the usage of web services by client applications. The usage of the web services may be logged in therepository 110. Thebilling module 240 is used to bill client applications for their use of the web services. - The
repository 110 communicates with the other components and exchange information. Theauthorization module 120 communicates with therepository 110 and thebilling module 240, and exchanges information for authorization purposes. Themetering module 230 communicates with therepository 110 and thebilling module 240, and exchange information. Thebilling module 240 also communicates with the other components and exchange information for billing purposes. Themetering module 230 records events that take place that can later be used for analysis. One client of themetering module 230 is thebilling module 240. Billing schemes may be created such that thebilling module 240 requires information regarding which web services methods 303 aclient application 15 has used. Such information is tracked by themetering module 230 and stored in therepository 110. Alternatively, themetering module 230 may pass theweb services methods 303 usage information directly to thebilling module 240 to be used or stored for later use. - The following description will refer to web
services packaging systems 200. However, the authorization schemes portion of the following description also applies to the webservices packaging system 100. - With reference to FIG. 3, the following describes how the web
services packaging system 200 is used to package web services. FIG. 3 showsclient applications 15 assigned topackages 301 comprising ofbundles 302. Thebundles 302 comprise web services methods orroutines 303 which aclient application 15 may use when callingweb services methods 303. In this example, thebasic bundle 302 contains matrix manipulation, math, miscellaneous, and third partyweb services methods 303. - Web services methods are registered in the
repository 110. The web services methods are then grouped intobundles 302.Client applications 15 may also register with the webservices packaging system 200.Client applications 15 usage rights relating to thebundles 302 are stored in therepository 110. Thus, by accessing therepository 110 to determine if aclient application 15 has usage rights to abundle 302, theauthorization module 120 determines if aclient application 15 is authorized to access a web services method in thatbundle 302. - A
package 301 is a set ofbundles 302. For example, in FIG. 3,Package 1 contains a basic bundle, a file conversion bundle, an a text editing bundle.Package 2 contains a basic bundle, a bitmap methods bundle, a vector methods bundle, and a special effects bundle. As is described above, a bundle is a set (or group) ofweb services methods 303 which may come from several different web services.Other packages 301 containing other combinations ofbundles 302 may be created. -
Web services methods 303 of thebundles 302 in apackage 301 are billed and authorized in the same manner. Advantageously, abundle 302 simplifies the authorization to access a set ofweb services methods 303 in thebundle 302. If the user or client application has authorization to access thebundle 302, then the user or client application has authorization to access eachmethod 303 in thebundle 302. - A
package 301 allows for customization of billing for thebundles 302. For example, consider twopackages 301, Package 3 and Package 4, where each package contains the same twobundles 302,Bundle 1 andBundle 2. Package 3 may setBundle 1 on a per-per-use billing sheme andBundle 2 on a flat rate billing scheme. Package 4 may set bothBundle 1 andBundle 2 on a flat rate billing sheme. Thus, packages 301 allow for billing flexibility and billing customization ofbundles 302. Furthermore, by having different combinations ofmethods 303 indifferent bundles 302,packages 301 allow for billing flexibilty and billing customiztion ofweb services methods 303. - Advantageously, providing web services functionality through
packages 301 eliminates much of the logistics needed to manage/present billing and authorization requirements. Tables or records in therepository 110 may contain identifications ofmethods 303 belonging to web services registered with the webservices packaging system 200.Methods 303 of different web services may be organized together into abundle 302. - Packages301 organize
bundles 302 into default billing/authorization plans to whichclient applications 15 may subscribe. The same bundle can reside indifferent packages 301, with different billing/authorization specifications. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the basic bundle is contained in bothpackages 301. Thus, subscribers can be offered combinations ofmethods 303 they desire without having to subscribe to a web service. - Preferably, a
client application 15 may only subscribe to onepackage 301. This limitation advantageously reduces the logistics since allowing a client application to subscribe to more than onepackage 301 may create a potential scenario of the twopackages 301 both containing the same bundle 302 (or evendifferent bundles 302 with the same methods) but associated with a different billing/authorization plan. For example, the basic bundle inPackage 1 is priced at $1 per use and is limited to use on weekdays. The basic bundle inPackage 2 contains the same web services methods the basic bundle inPackage 1. However, there are no limitations to availability for the basic bundle inPackage 2 and therefore, a price of $2 per use is assigned toPackage 2. - In one example of a billing scheme, a web service administrator can override the default billing/authorization plan specified in the
package 301 to which aclient application 15 subscribes. Advantageously, this allows for further flexibility forbilling client applications 15. - Billing and/or authorization schemes may be created to vary depending on the time of day, day of the week, week of the month, etc. Alternatively, billing/authorization may expire after a set amount of time has passed since the
package 301 was assigned to the client application. For example, a client application may sign up for a trial package of web services that allows the client application to use the services for a trial period, like a month, after which access will expire. Thus, thesystem 200 may be designed to be aware of time and temporal cycles using time stamps as to when the client application signed up, the server clock, and other means of measuring time available to the server upon which the web services packaging system is implemented. - The
metering module 230 andauthorization module 120 modules may employ a plug-in architecture which allows new components to be easily added without changing the core architecture. There are several ways in which this plug-in archetecture can be accomplished. One example provides that the core architecture searches for the existence of billing/authorization schemes on a particular location of the server in which the webservices packaging system 200 is implemented. Since the architecture can be designed to always search the same location, additional schemes can be added. For example,other bundles 302 may be added to apackage 301, or otherweb services methods 303 may be added to abundle 302. - The determination of a client application's permissions to use a given resource may depend on the current standing of the client application's billing data. For example, if a client application's billing type specifies that the client application has paid a certain fee which allows the client application to make X number of calls to a bundle of methods, then on the (X+1)th call that client application will not be authorized to make the call. To achieve this, the
authorization module 120 may query themetering module 230, or themetering module 230 may set some state in theauthorization module 120. - FIG. 4 shows a method for billing and authorization of web services (400) in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The method (400) begins with providing a listing of web service functionality (i.e., a listing of packages 301) to which a
client application 15 may subscribe (401). Subscribed client applications are given access to method calls 303 of web services contained inbundles 302 of apackage 301 to which they are a subscriber (402). Access to web services method calls 303 contained in thebundles 302 is metered (403). The web services usage is billed pursuant to the billing scheme of the package 301 (404). The method is done (405). - Other steps may be added to the method (400), such as registering a web service with the web
services packaging system 200, registering aclient application 15 with the webservices packaging system 200, and storing in therepository 110 the web services and theclient applications 15 which are authorized to access theweb services methods 303. - FIG. 5 shows an example of a web service deployment environment501 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The web service deployment environment 501 comprises
client applications 15, a webservices management system 500, and remote web services 25. The webservices management system 500 comprises arepository 110, an authentication andauthorization module 520, ametering module 230, abilling module 240, a deployment andregistration module 550, agateway module 560, areporting module 570, anadministrator console 580, and locally hostedweb services 25. All components have access to therepository 110. Components may be added or removed from the webservices management system 500. - The
repository 110, themetering module 230, and thebilling module 240 are similar to those described above. Theadministrator console 580 is used to perform administration tasks, including creatingbundles 302 andpackages 301, provisioning client applications, setting or modifying access rights, generating reports, and other tasks desired for administration purposes. Another client of themetering module 230 is theadministrator console 580 that enables the administrator of the webservices packaging system 500 to track how thesystem 500 has been used. Statistics may also be generated and stored in therepository 110 in order to help the administrator make business decisions such as offering new services, adjusting prices, and other business decisions relating to the packaging of web services. - The authentication and
authorization module 520 is used when client application attempts to access a web services method. Thesystem 500 calls on the authentication andauthorization module 520 to determine if the client application indeed is authentic and authorized to use theweb service 25. Themetering module 230 is used to track the usage of web services and packages 301. Thegateway module 560 is used for routing communication betweenclient applications 15 andweb services 25. Thereporting module 570 generates reports on the usage of thesystem 500 by administrators for billing and auditing purposes. - The deployment and
registration module 550 is used to register web services and/or client applications. When a web service registers with thesystem 500, its information is stored in the repository to be used for creatingbundles 302 and packages 301. When a client application registers with thesystem 500, its credentials are stored in the repository to be used for authentication, authorization, and billing purposes. A remote web service provider may be billed for registration into thesystem 500 or payed a percentage of the revenues for packages sold to client applications. - The purpose and practical use of the web
services packaging system 500 is that it be deployed on the servers which host a company's web services 25. The web services 25 are registered with the deployment andregistration module 550 and an administrator may set up client application rights, billing schemes and any other infrastructure for these services. Furthermore, a host company'sweb services 25 may be complimented with remotely located web services 25. In addition the host company may host virtual web services which are comprised of other web services but connected in such a way to provide new functionality. - This web
services packaging system 500 provides value to the web services provider, in that it allows for the tailoring of functionality on a per-client application basis. The alternative would be to develop different versions of itsweb services 25 for different customers, thus requiring duplication of code and additional strains on disk space, to maintain multiple copies of similar code. The webservices packaging system 500 provides the framework around which the web services provider can track usage of theweb services 25 and charge accordingly, on a per-client application basis. - The web
services packaging system 500 provides an elegant, comprehensive and extendable system for handling the most complex ofweb services 25 billing and authorization scenarios. To web services providers, it means reduced administration, resource and upgrade costs. To the users of client applications, it opens up the possibility of finely grained customized billing and authorization options. - The web
services packaging system - While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, changes and modifications may be made to such embodiments without departing from the true scope of the invention.
