Patent ID: 11907147
Assignee: BEIJING TENAFE ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 5:
6. A System On Chip (SOC), comprising:
an upstream functional module;
a message inspection engine, wherein:
the message inspection engine is implemented in hardware in the SOC and is configured using configuration information to obtain a configured message inspection engine; and
the configured message inspection engine:
receives an input message from the upstream functional module;
analyzes the input message to determine a content modification plan and a destination control plan;
generates an output message based at least in part on the input message, the content modification plan, and the destination control plan, including by populating the output message with a downstream functional module specified by the destination control plan; and
outputs the output message; and

the downstream functional module, wherein:
the input message includes a header which in turn includes a plurality of fields;
analyzing the input message includes inspecting those fields in the plurality of fields that are specified by the configuration information;
the input message further includes a payload which in turn includes a plurality of inspectable segments and a non-inspectable portion that does not overlap with the plurality of inspectable segments; and
analyzing the input message further includes inspecting those inspectable segments in the plurality of inspectable segments that are specified by the configuration information.
