It is possible.

The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary configuration of a next generation intelligent network to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 1, the next-generation intelligent network includes a service controller (SCP) 101, a service management system 102, a service data point 103, and a signal network. 104, a Service Switching Point (SSP) 105, an Intelligent Peripheral (IP) 106, and other service controllers and service data systems 107.

The next generation intelligent network is designed to be easily interworked with all communication networks, and the intelligent network services to be provided must be designed independently of the service users, service providers, communication networks or service providers regardless of the service users, service providers, and communication providers. In other words, the independence of service implementation means that various types of services can be easily provided in all networks in the form desired by customers. The intelligent network service is provided in different forms according to the subscribers of the intelligent network service through the service logic program of the service controller.

The service controller 101 has a service logic program and some data necessary for intelligent network service processing as essential elements for the intelligent network service. The service controller 101 is connected to the service exchanger 105 and the intelligent information providing system 106 through the signal network 104, and the service management system 102 and the service data system 103 through data or internal connection networks. Connected. In addition, the service controller 101 may have the same type of service logic program or data in multiple service controllers in order to improve the reliability of the intelligent network service or to share the load among other service controllers. The service controller 101 may optionally include a service control function and a service data function.

The service management system 102 is a management system supporting the service controller 101 and manages data of subscribers necessary for controlling the service. The service management system 102 may be used to centrally manage the service related database of the service controller 101, and may be connected to all network elements of the intelligent network to manage the entire intelligent network. The service subscriber can change his or her service data using the service management system 102 and collect statistical data from the service controller 101 to check billing information, support functions for network management, and report on service processing errors. The connection with the service controller 101 uses the X.25 protocol.

The service data system 103 has subscriber and intelligent network data necessary to perform an intelligent network service. The service controller 101, the service management system 102, or other service data system 107 may directly access the intelligent network data or indirectly through the signaling network 104.

The signal network 104 includes a signal relay switch and a signal network management system, and is a packet switch that transmits a No. 7 signaling message to another node, and is a Telecommunication Standardization Sector for International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T). The recommendation is that the message processing rate should be tens of thousands per second, and the average time that a signaling message can stay in the signaling network 104 should be within 20 ms.

The service exchanger 105 allows a user to access an intelligent network, has a function of detecting an intelligent network service, communication with other network elements of the intelligent network, and a response to a received command.

The intelligent information providing system 106 has special resources such as customized announcement, speech recognition, speech synthesis, voice recording, dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) digit collector, fax (FAX) transceiver, etc. Provide flexible interaction. Signal network 104 is the next-generation intelligent network application protocol (INAP) recommended by ITU-T, and provides service controller 101, service exchanger 105, and intelligent information using No.7 common line signaling. An application layer protocol on top of a Transaction Control Application Part (TCAP) for supporting interaction between network elements such as the system 106.

2 is an exemplary configuration diagram of a service controller simulator of a next generation intelligent network to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 2, the industrial computer 201 includes a service switchboard simulator 206 and a service controller simulator 207 in software.

The service switchboard simulator 206 and the service controller simulator 207 are connected to the local area network router (LAN Router) 202 and the transmission control protocol / to communicate with the special resource switch 203 of the intelligent information providing system which is another element of the intelligent network. The simulator implementation is easy by using the Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) 208.

The service switch simulator 206 and the service controller simulator 207 match the service switch simulator 206 to match the Specialized Resources Switch (SRS) 203 to the switch access and management processor 209. The service switching point interface module is used, and the matching portion with the service controller simulator 207 uses the service control point interface module of the switch access and management processor 209.

The service switchboard simulator 206 and the service controller simulator 207 connect the general subscriber terminal 204 which can listen to the corresponding announcement according to the service logic program and the subscriber can actually input the digit through the terminal, and the subscriber terminal 204 Connect a concentrator 205 that can be connected to the special resource switch 203 through a terminal adapter (210), a subscriber board (211), a relay board (211), and a relay line that accommodates.

3 is a functional block diagram of service logic software of a service controller simulator to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 3, the intelligent network service provides a service desired by a user according to a procedure of a service logic program included in a service controller simulator. In the service controller simulator, intelligent network service logic is implemented using reusable service independent function blocks 308 defined in the next-generation intelligent network.

The current service logic cannot provide the appropriate service suitable for the characteristics of the subscriber by providing the same service to all subscribers. This problem is because the current announcement is applied equally to all subscribers. For example, in the case of selecting a service procedure, when considering service logic internally, the service procedure announcement broadcast has a single message number, so that a subscriber may add or delete a specific procedure to provide a desired procedure. You must recode the service logic program.

The service controller simulator includes a matching unit 301 for matching with other network elements, a service logic identification unit 302 for identifying a service desired by the subscriber, and a user input received by the user interaction processing unit 307. Service status monitoring / processing unit 303, service identification unit 304, and user data for monitoring and processing the service state so as to check the digit and select an appropriate service according to the value of the input digit at this time, A data processor 305 for managing and processing various data, a communication processor 306 for communicating with other network elements, a user interaction processor 307 for interacting with a user, and an interaction with the user may be appropriate. A service independent function block processing unit 309 for providing a service is provided.

4A and 4B are flowcharts of an embodiment of a service logic processing method of a service controller simulator according to the present invention.

As shown in the figure, a user first attempts an intelligent network service (401), and when the packet transceiver of the service controller simulator receives an initial detection signal from the service switchboard simulator (402), the event occurrence detector detects the packet reception and 403, the message source identifier identifies 404 that the received packet is a message from a service switchboard simulator.

Then, a temporary connection establishment (ETC) is established to establish a channel between the basic call state model request report BCSM event (RRBE) signal and the service switcher simulator and the intelligent information system so that the message state monitor / handler detects a call-related event. Temporary Connection) signal is transmitted to the service switchboard simulator (405).

Next, the message status monitoring / processor checks the subscriber's profile and associates the corresponding service state registered in advance with the subscriber and the correlation number of the subscriber (406), and the service logic driver drives the corresponding service logic (407).

Subsequently, when the transmit / receive packet transmission / reception processor of the service controller simulator receives the auxiliary command request signal from the intelligent information providing system (408), the event occurrence detector detects the packet reception (409).

Thereafter, the message source identifier identifies that the signal is a message received from the intelligent information providing system (410), and the message separation processor handles various types of messages collected by the intelligent information providing system and the user interaction. The information is separated using the simulator (411).

Thereafter, after the service status monitoring / handler checks the current service status by checking the correlation ID (Correlation ID) of the message (412), the operation identifier identifies the operation, and the operation handler processes the identified operation ( 413), the packet transmission / reception processor transmits a packet for the next operation to the intelligent information providing system (414), and the event occurrence detector repeatedly detects the packet reception.

Accordingly, the present invention allows the subscriber to perform the desired service procedure according to the desired service state by advancing the service according to the correlation number and service state assigned to the subscriber call.

In summary, the service logic processing process of the service controller simulator is determined in advance in order to test a function of the intelligent information providing system when a user attempts to make a call with a general subscriber station (telephone) connected to the terminal connection unit accommodating the terminal. If you press a service code (SAC) (e.g. 111) and a service number (a service number to drive a predetermined logic for functional testing) (e.g. 8606394), the service switch simulator will call the intelligent network call. The initial detection signal is notified to the service controller simulator that it has been generated.

In response, the service controller simulator waits for the packet to be received, confirms that the packet came in when the packet arrived, identifies where the packet came from (a service exchange simulator or an intelligent information providing system), and calls the received packet. Check the related information, ie SAC and corID (correlation unique number), and run the corresponding service logic. For example, if the service access code (SAC) is 111, it will drive the simple telephone voting service function test logic.

The service controller simulator may test the service logic in various ways according to the correlation number assigned to the user and the service state of the user.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, and the above-described embodiments and accompanying It is not limited to the drawing.

Therefore, the present invention as described above can solve the problems of the intelligent information providing system before the actual system is installed by applying various service logic programs through the simulator in checking and verifying the function of the intelligent information providing system. By using the transmission control protocol / Internet protocol, we implement a matching block that can interoperate with the service controller simulator between the application layer of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model and the intelligent network application protocol to communicate with each other. The design has the effect of testing the functionality of intelligent information delivery systems.
