Method and system for providing extension service using intelligent network system {SYSTEM AND METHOD PROVIDING EXTENSION SWITCHING SERVICE BY INTELLIGENT NETWORK SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to an extension exchange service providing technology, and more particularly, to a method and system for providing an extension exchange service to a mobile terminal using an intelligent network system in a communication network.

In general, a business employing a large number of employees establishes a private exchange to integrate and manage internal telephones. The internal switch connects a plurality of internal telephones. Each line to which the internal telephones are connected is assigned an independent extension telephone number rather than a public telephone number. In addition, one private exchange is established in a single workplace that can connect dozens of people, but a company having multiple workplaces in each region or country establishes a plurality of private exchanges in order to connect tens of thousands of station terminals.

Such a private exchange handles a call to be performed between users when an extension telephone number is input without passing through an external communication network. That is, when a user inside a workplace attempts a call to an extension terminal, the call is set up through the private exchange without using a public network that charges a separate fee. In this way, the private exchange can be given a separate independent internal telephone number on the administrative side, and in charge, it is widely used in the workplace because it does not charge a call fee for calls established between internal lines.

However, if a specific user wants to try to call the extension terminal of his workplace from the outside, he must first try to call the representative telephone number of the workplace and then enter the extension number additionally, or inform the receptionist's name. . The former is a case where a call is transmitted from a private exchange when a call is connected to a representative telephone number of a workplace, and the caller enters an extension number according to the announcement and calls the called party. In the latter case, the call is first received when the call is connected to the representative phone number of the operator. The caller first establishes a call by calling the guide and requesting the guide to connect with the called party.

However, this conventional method requires a double action from the caller outside, causing inconvenience to the caller. In particular, the method of specifying the guide as a telephone connector also has the problem of wasting the guide's labor in unnecessary places.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for providing an extension exchange service using an intelligent network system that immediately connects a caller with a corresponding caller when a caller attempts to call an extension from the outside. .

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for providing an extension exchange service capable of establishing a low-cost international call based on a public IP network and a private network.

Ask for consolation. Meanwhile, the private exchange 150 belonging to a specific company may be installed by region or country. The private exchanges 150 installed for each country are connected through the public IP network 100, and thus, the private exchanges 150 between countries communicate with each other through the public IP network 100 instead of the international line.

The home location register 160 stores location information and subscriber profile information of the mobile terminal 110. In addition, the home location register 160 stores the presence or absence of the extension service for each mobile terminal (110).

The intelligent network system 170 includes a Service Control Point (SCP) and a Service Switching Point (SSP), and provides an extension exchange service to the mobile terminal 110. Specifically, when the intelligent network system 170 receives the identification number of the originating terminal and the extension number of the called party from the common exchange 140, the intelligent network system 170 checks whether the called party has set the call forwarding from the extension terminal 180 to the mobile terminal 110. When the incoming call is transferred to the mobile terminal 110, the common exchange 140 transmits the identification number of the mobile terminal 110. At this time, the intelligent network system 170 additionally transmits the private exchange routing information of the calling terminal and the national information of the mobile terminal 110 to the common exchange 140 when the forwarded mobile terminal 110 is located outside the country. . On the other hand, the intelligent network system 170 transmits the private exchange routing information and the extension number of the calling terminal to the common exchange 140, if the call forwarding is not set to the mobile terminal (110).

The intelligent network system 170 receives and stores extension exchange service data such as private network information, a mobile terminal identification number, and an extension number of a user who subscribes to an intelligent network service from a customer information system (not shown). That is, when a user visits a dealer or subscribes to an extension exchange service through the Internet, and inputs the mobile terminal identification number, the private network information of the user, the mobile terminal identification number, and his extension number, etc., the customer information system. Transmits the extension exchange service data to the intelligent network system 170, and the intelligent network system 170 stores the extension exchange service data. In addition, the intelligent network system 170 receives and stores the mobile terminal identification number and the country information that the incoming call of the extension terminal is received when the call transfer from the user who requested the call transfer.

2 is a diagram illustrating a mapping table for an extension exchange service stored in an intelligent network system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mapping table for the extension exchange service (hereinafter referred to as the "extension exchange table") is the private network information 210, the private exchange routing information 220, the extension number 230, the called mobile number. 240, country information 250, call forwarding activation information 260, and subscriber terminal information 270.

Referring to FIG. 3, the intelligent network system 170 receives an IDP (Initial Detection Point) message including the identification number of the calling terminal and the extension number of the called terminal from the common exchange 140 (S301). Then, the intelligent network system 170 checks the private network information 210 corresponding to the identification number of the calling terminal in the extension exchange table (S303). That is, the intelligent network system 170 checks the identification number corresponding to the calling number in the subscriber station field 270 and checks the private network corresponding to the identification number in the private network information field 210. For example, if the calling number is 010-1111-XXXX, the intelligent network system 170 confirms that the private network information of the calling terminal is A company.

Next, the intelligent network system 170 checks whether the called terminal corresponding to the extension number is forwarded call forward activated (S305). Specifically, the intelligent network system 170 checks the extension number corresponding to the extension number received in step S301 from the extension number field 230 of the private network corresponding to the calling number, and activates the call forwarding corresponding to the extension number. Check that the information is "true" or "false".

The intelligent network system 170 checks whether the incoming call is activated or switched (ie, when the call forwarding activation information is true), whether the location of the forwarded mobile terminal 110 is international or domestic (S307). . That is, the intelligent network system 170 checks whether domestic information or other country information is recorded in the country information field 250 corresponding to the extension number. Subsequently, when the mobile terminal 110 is located in a foreign country, the intelligent network system 170 routes a domestic private exchange that corresponds to an identification number (foreign identification number), country information, and the private network information of the mobile terminal 110. Information is included in the connect message and the connection message is transmitted to the common exchange 140 (S309). On the other hand, the intelligent network system 170 includes the identification number (that is, the domestic identification number) of the mobile terminal 110 in the access message, if the forwarded mobile terminal 110 is located in the domestic, and the access message is shared The transfer to the exchange 140 (S313).

On the other hand, the intelligent network system 170 accesses the private exchange routing information corresponding to the extension number and the private network of the calling terminal when the call forwarding of the called terminal is deactivated (that is, the call forwarding activation information is false) in step S305. The message is included in the message and the connection message is transmitted to the common exchange 140 (S311).

Hereinafter, a method for providing an extension exchange service according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for setting up a call between a mobile station that attempts to connect a call to an extension number in an extension service system according to an embodiment of the present invention and a domestic extension terminal that is inactive for call forwarding.

In the following description with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the caller's mobile terminal will be described assuming 110a-1 of FIG. 1, the caller's mobile terminal 110a-2 and the caller's extension terminal 180a-1.

4, the common exchange 140 receives a call connection request whose extension number is the called number from the calling terminal 110a-1 (S401). Then, the common exchange 140 checks whether the calling terminal 110a-1 is subscribed to the extension exchange service. The common exchange 140 receives the extension exchange service subscription information of the calling terminal 110a-1 from the home location register 160 when registering the calling terminal 110a-1, and stores the information. . Preferably, the common exchange 140 stores the extension exchange service subscription information in a visitor location register (VLR), and whether the calling terminal 110a-1 is subscribed to the extension exchange service based on the subscription information. Check whether or not.

The common exchange 140, when the calling terminal 110a-1 is subscribed to the extension exchange service, an intelligent detection point (IDP) message including the extension number and the identification number of the calling terminal 110a-1 The system 170 transmits the data to the system 170 (S403). On the other hand, the common exchange 140, if the calling terminal (110a-1) is not subscribed to the extension exchange service, the terminal does not receive a message, such as "the number is not dialed now. Please check and try again." Transmit to 110a-1. Alternatively, the common exchange 140 transmits an extension exchange service unavailable message to the calling terminal 110a-1 such as "You are not subscribed to the extension exchange service. Please use the extension exchange service after joining."

The intelligent network system 170 receiving the IDP message checks the sender's private network information based on the identification number of the calling terminal 110a-1, and if the called terminal is not forwarded, the extension number in the private network. Routing information of the private exchange 150 corresponding to the extracted (S405). Subsequently, the intelligent network system 170 transmits a connect message including the extension number and the routing information of the extracted private exchange 150 to the common exchange 140 (S407).

Then, the common exchange 140 requests a call connection to the private exchange 150 corresponding to the routing information of the access message (S409). At this time, the common exchange 140 transmits the extension number to the private exchange 150. Then, the private exchange 150 attempts to connect the call to the extension terminal 180a-1 of the called party corresponding to the extension number (S411).

For example, assume that the intelligent network system 170 receives an IDP message including the originating number of 010-1111-XXXX and the extension number of 0033 from the common exchange 140 in step S403. Then, the intelligent network system 170 designates the calling terminal 110a-1 as its service network to the private network of the company A through the subscriber station field 270 and the private network information field 210 of the extension exchange table of FIG. 2. It is confirmed that the extension terminal 180a-1 of 0033 is forwarded inactivated through the call forwarding activation field 260. The intelligent network system 170 transmits the RN1 routing information corresponding to the private network information of the calling terminal 110a-1 to the common exchange 140. Then, the common exchange 130 requests the call establishment to the private exchange 150 corresponding to the routing information of the RN1, and the private exchange 150 connects the call with the extension terminal 180a-1 having the extension number of 0033. Try.

Through this process, even if the caller attempts to make a call by entering only the extension number from the outside, the caller can call the called party of the extension terminal 180a-1 belonging to his private network.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for setting up a call between an originating terminal attempting a call to an extension number and a domestic mobile terminal which is switched to a call in an extension exchange service system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the common exchange 140 receives a call connection request whose extension number is the called number from the calling terminal 110a-1, and determines whether the calling terminal 110a-1 is subscribed to the extension exchange service. Check (S501). The common exchange 140, when the calling terminal 110a-1 is subscribed to the extension exchange service, sends an IDP (Initial Detection Point) message including the extension number and the identification number of the calling terminal 110a-1. Transfer to 170 (S503).

The intelligent network system 170 receiving the IDP message checks the sender's private network information based on the identification number of the calling terminal 110a-1, and the called party's extension terminal 180a-1 based on the private network information and the extension number. ) Is transferred to the mobile terminal 110a-2 and confirms that the mobile terminal 110a-2 is located outside the country (S505). Accordingly, the intelligent network system 170 extracts the identification number of the forwarded mobile terminal 110a-2, and transmits the access message including the identification number to the common exchange 140 (S507). Then, the common exchange 140 attempts to connect the call to the called party's mobile terminal 110a-2 corresponding to the mobile terminal identification number of the access message (S509).

For example, assume that the intelligent network system 170 receives an IDP message from the common exchange 140 including an originating number of 010-4444-XXXX and an extension number of 0110 in step S503. Then, the intelligent network system 170 recognizes that the calling terminal 110a-1 belongs to the private company B of the B company through the subscriber station field 270 and the private network information field 210 of the extension exchange table of FIG. It is confirmed that the extension terminal 180a-1 of 0110 is forwarded through the transfer activation field 260 and the mobile terminal 110a-2 forwarded through the country information field 250 is located in Korea. .

The intelligent network system 170 confirms that the extension terminal 180a-1 is forwarded to the domestic mobile terminal 110a-2. The mobile number 110 is called 010-XXXX-5555, which is the identification number of the mobile terminal 110a-2. It extracts from the field 240, and transmits the access message including the identification number to the common exchange 140. Then, the common exchange 130 attempts to connect the call to the called party's mobile terminal 110a-2 having the number 010-XXXX-5555.

In summary, when the called party sets the call forwarding from the extension terminal 180a-1 to the domestic mobile terminal 110a-2, the intelligent network system 170 replaces the extension number of the called party in response to an IDP message. The connection message including the identification number of the forwarded mobile terminal (110a-2) is transmitted to the common exchange 140, inducing the common exchange 140 to connect to the mobile terminal (110a-2). Such a call forwarding method may be set by the user accessing a specific server, and the call forwarding activation or call forwarding deactivation is performed by inputting a service shortcut key (for example, ** 1324) + a call button to the mobile terminal 110 or the extension terminal 180. Torch can be set. Then, the intelligent network system 170 receives the call forwarding information from the mobile terminal 110, the extension terminal 180 or a specific server to update the extension exchange table.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method for setting up a call between a mobile terminal that attempts to connect a call to an extension number in an extension exchange service system and an external extension terminal that is not forwarded to a call transfer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the following description with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, the caller's mobile terminal will be described assuming 110a-1 of FIG. 1, the caller's mobile terminal 110b-1 and the caller's extension terminal 180b-1.

Referring to Figure 6, the domestic public exchange 140a receives a call connection request with the extension number is the destination number from the calling terminal (110a-1) subscribed to the extension exchange service, the extension number and the calling terminal (110a-) The IDP (Initial Detection Point) message including the identification number of 1) is transmitted to the intelligent network system 170 (S601 and S603).

Upon receiving the IDP message, the intelligent network system 170 checks the private network information of the calling terminal 110a-1, and if the extension terminal 180b-1 of the called party is deactivated, the domestic network corresponding to the private network information is transmitted. Routing information of the private exchange 150a is extracted (S605). Subsequently, the intelligent network system 170 transmits a connect message including the extension number and the routing information of the extracted domestic private exchange 150a to the common exchange 140a (S607).

Then, the domestic public exchange 140a requests a call connection to the domestic private exchange 150a corresponding to the routing information of the access message (S609). At this time, the domestic public exchange 140a transmits the extension number to the domestic private exchange 150a. Then, the domestic private exchange 150a requests a call connection to the foreign private exchange 150b that manages the line of the extension number based on the extension number (S611). At this time, the domestic private exchange 150a requests a call connection including the extension number to the foreign private exchange 150b through the public IP network 100. Also, the domestic private exchange 150a converts the message into a message commonly used in the public IP network 100 and requests the call connection request to the foreign private exchange 150b. For example, the domestic private exchange 150a converts an ISUP (ISDN User Part) based call request message into a TCP / IP or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based message commonly used in the public IP network 100, thereby converting a foreign private exchange ( 150b).

Then, the foreign private exchange 150b converts the call connection request message based on the public IP network 100 into a message commonly used in its communication network, and the extension terminal 180b-1 corresponding to the extension number of the call connection message. Attempt to connect to the call (S613).

That is, when the calling terminal 110 subscribed to the extension exchange service attempts to make a call to an external extension number, the calling terminal 110a-1 is a domestic public exchange 140a, a domestic private exchange 150a, a public IP network ( 100) and the call to the extension terminal 180b-1 of the called party are established via the foreign private exchange 150a.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a method for setting up a call between an originating terminal attempting a call to an extension number and a mobile station of a call forwarded station in an extension exchange service system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, the domestic common exchange 140a receives a call connection request whose extension number is the called number from the calling terminal 110a-1 subscribed to the extension exchange service, and the extension number and the calling terminal 110a-. The IDP (Initial Detection Point) message including the identification number of 1) is transmitted to the intelligent network system 170 (S701 and S703).

Then, the intelligent network system 170 checks the sender's private network information based on the identification number of the calling terminal 110a-1, and the extension terminal 180b-1 of the called party is the mobile terminal based on the private network information and the extension number. Call forward to (110b-1) and confirm that the mobile terminal (110b-1) is located in the foreign country (S705). Subsequently, the intelligent network system 170 extracts the called party's mobile terminal 110b-1 identification number (i.e., foreign identification number), the country information where the mobile terminal 110b-1 is located, and the domestic exchange routing information of the private network. . The intelligent network system 170 transmits the access message including the extracted domestic exchange routing information, the called party's mobile terminal identification number, and the country information to the domestic public exchange 140a (S707).

Next, the domestic common exchange 140a transmits a call connection request message including the called party's mobile terminal identification number and country information to the domestic private exchange 150a based on the domestic private exchange routing information of the received access message. (S709). Then, the domestic private exchange 150a transmits a call connection request message to the private exchange 140b established in a country matching the country information among the foreign private exchanges included in its private network (S711). At this time, the domestic private exchange 150a includes the called party's mobile communication identification number in the call connection request message, and converts it into a form commonly used in the message public IP network 100 and transmits it to the foreign private exchange 150b. .

Then, the foreign private exchange 150b converts the call connection request message based on the public IP network 100 into a message commonly used in its communication network, and the converted call connection message includes a mobile communication identification number rather than an extension number. In accordance with the request to the call connection to the common exchange (140b) established in their country (S713).

The international common exchange 140b received the call connection request obtains the location information of the mobile terminal 110b-1 of the mobile communication identification number from the home location register 160b or the visitor location register (not shown), and moves the location information. Attempt to connect the call with the terminal (110b-1) (S715).

That is, when the calling terminal 110a-1, which is subscribed to the extension exchange service, attempts to make a call to an external extension terminal 180b-1, which has been forwarded to the call, the calling terminal 110a-1 is a domestic common exchange 140a, a domestic private exchange. A call is established with the called party's mobile terminal 110b-1 via the exchange 150a, the public IP network 100, the foreign private exchange 150a, and the foreign shared exchange 140b.

For example, assume that the intelligent network system 170 receives an IDP message including the originating number of 010-2222-XXXX and the extension number of 0010 from the domestic public exchange 140a in step S703. Then, the intelligent network system 170 designates the private network of the A company as its service network through the subscriber station field 270 and the private network information field 210 of the extension exchange table of FIG. 2. It is recognized that the extension terminal 180a-1 of 0010 is forwarded through the call forwarding activation field 260. The intelligent network system 170 extracts, from the destination mobile number field 240, 084-XXXX-4567, the Japanese identification number of the called party's mobile terminal 110b-1 corresponding to the extension number 0010, from the called mobile number field 240, and the country information field ( Through 250), the receiver's mobile terminal 110b-1 is located in Japan. Subsequently, the intelligent network system 170 publicly accesses the access message including the national information of the called party (Japan), the mobile terminal identification number (084-XXXX-4567), and the domestic private exchange routing information (RN1) corresponding to the extension number. Transfer to the exchange 140a.

Then, the common exchange 130 requests a call connection to the domestic private network exchange 150a of the company A based on the routing information RN1, and the domestic private exchange 150a of the company A is based on the recipient's country information (Japan). Request a call connection to our Japanese private exchange 150b. Then, the Japanese private exchange 150b of the A company requests the public exchange 140b in Japan to call the call to 084-XXXX-4567, which is the called party's mobile terminal identification number, and the Japanese public exchange 140b requests the 084-XXXX-. A call connection is attempted to the mobile terminal 110b-1 of 4567. When the response message is received from the mobile terminal 110b-1, the called party's mobile terminal 110b-1, the Japanese common exchange 140b, the Japanese private exchange 150b of the A company, the public IP network 100, A call path is formed with the originating terminal 110a-1 via A's domestic private exchange 150a and the domestic public exchange 140a.

Therefore, when a caller attempts to call a foreign recipient, the caller may pass through the foreign section through its private exchange 150 and the public IP network 100, and thus may use a cheap international call. That is, a caller generally uses an interstate line having a high communication fee when an international call is attempted. However, when a system according to the present invention is used, the caller uses an international network between a private switch 150 and a public IP network 100, rather than an international line. By using the telephone, you can receive international call service at a lower call rate.
