Abstract
A message processing method is provided for transmitting a transmit message while adding a unique transmit ID to identify the transmission of a transmit message to the transmit message; registering the correspondence between the transmit message and the transmit ID into a storage when the transmit message is transmitted; and judging that a receive message is related with a previously-transmitted transmit message when the receive message to which ID identical with a transmit ID registered in the storage is added is received. Also disclosed is a message processing device which has a storage; a transmission-managing means for adding a unique transmit ID to identify the transmission of a transmit message to the transmit message, and for registering the correspondence between the transmit message and the transmit ID into the storage when the transmit message is transmitted; a message transmitter for transmitting a transmit message provided with a transmit ID by the transmission-managing means; and a transmission-related detector for judging that a receive message is related with a previously-transmitted transmit message when the receive message to which ID identical with a transmit ID registered with the storage is added is received.
