With reference now to Fig. 5 and 6 methods that illustrate at switching system broadcast announcement of the present invention.Fig. 5 has explained the method for utilizing switching system shown in Figure 4 that notification message is provided, and Fig. 6 shows explanation and utilizes switching system shown in Figure 4 that the flow chart of the method for notification message is provided.
Suppose that a plurality of calling party terminal uses call out a plurality of receiving side terminal users respectively, switching system provides communication link, makes to carry out communicating by letter between recipient and the calling party.But, exist because a variety of causes (for example, receiving side terminal position unavailability, outage, Call Forwarding, the line is busy, do not have page response and do not reply) and the call treatment failure that produces.In these cases, the calling party user's of calling connection failure switching system request notification message device control units 25 provides the notification message (S1) of call failure factor.The calling party terminal signaling that the request notification message connects is stored in the share storage unit 22 by first Channel Elements 21 among the SS_G 20.The calling party terminal signaling comprises user's subsystem code, the reason of the processor identification code of subsystem and call treatment failure.Determine for example, to have 70~80% dedicated notification message channel that notification message is being provided.Be lower than predetermined rated value if determine the quantity of the calling party terminal signaling of request notification message, with method same as the prior art notification message about the call treatment failure cause offered the calling party terminal so.But, periodically analyze the reason (S3) that each is stored in the call treatment failure in the share storage unit 22 if the quantity of the calling party terminal signaling of definite request notification message, connects control unit 23 so greater than predetermined rated value.If analysis result shows, in the calling party terminal signal of identical message is arranged, so identical request signal is classified and divide into groups.In this example, the time interval of search is to set like this, makes the user can not feel any inconvenience (being preferably 1~2 second) (S4).That is to say, as shown in Figure 5, connect control unit 23 and also classify and grouping at a plurality of notification message request signals that calling party terminal use time cycle inner analysis inconspicuous is stored in the share storage unit 22.
The first grouping time cycle of explanation call treatment failure now.
Can know, though there is not to produce call treatment failure signal corresponding to No. 0 notification message, but produced call treatment failure signal twice corresponding to No. 1 notification message, produced call treatment failure signal three times corresponding to No. 2 notification message, call treatment failure signal corresponding to No. 3 notification message has also produced three times, and does not have to produce the call treatment failure signal corresponding to No. 4 notification message.
The second grouping time cycle of explanation call treatment failure now.
Can know, there is not to produce call treatment failure signal corresponding to No. 0 notification message, produced call treatment failure signal four times corresponding to No. 1 notification message, produced call treatment failure signal twice corresponding to No. 2 notification message, four times have also been produced corresponding to the call treatment failure signal of No. 3 notification message with produced once call treatment failure signal corresponding to No. 4 notification message.
When having finished classification and when grouping, distributed in first Channel Elements 21 an informing business channel (voice channel) (S5).Then, connect control unit 23 and determine whether to have carried out rightly channel allocation (S6).If there is not channel to be assigned with, so the failed message notice is belonged to the switching subsystem of all-calls side's terminal of channel allocation ineffective group.This be since in first Channel Elements 21 of notification message device control units 25 all 128 the dedicated notification message channel is occupied or other is former thereby the situation when not having channel to be assigned with.Finally, tone signal is provided to the switching subsystem (S8) of corresponding calling party terminal.In this example, refer to the processor identification code that is included in the user subsystem code in the calling party terminal signaling and subsystem in the share storage unit 22.When the notification message that passes on and these codes at once, tone signal is provided to the calling party terminal automatically.But,, set up the communication path (S7) between the affiliated switching subsystem of calling party terminal of allocated channel and call treatment failure so if the result who determines has distributed channel (S6).Then, connect by a channel that distributes and the suitable communication path that exchanges between the switching subsystem that connects control unit 30 definite calling party terminals.If as the result of determining step (S9), find that connection is inappropriate, provide a tone signal (S11) to the calling party terminal so.But, if result as determining step (S9), find suitably to connect, the primary processor request among the SS_G sends the suitable notification message (S10) of the relevant call treatment failure cause in the different notification messages that are stored in message storage 24 addresses to first Channel Elements 23 so.Then, determine whether that a channel in first Channel Elements 21 has sent the notification message (S12) of request.As the result of determining step (S12), sent the notification message of request if find a channel in first Channel Elements 21, same notification message is sent to the switching system of each calling party terminal at one time.At last, each calling party terminal receiving notice message (S13).For reference, Fig. 5 shows and connects control unit 23 classification and/or the call treatment failure signal that is grouped into second notification message are assigned to the 3rd channel in first Channel Elements 21 and second notification message in the message storage 24 is assigned to the 3rd channel.And second notification message is sent to the second channel unit 31 that exchanges in the connection control unit 30 by cable SHW.Exchange connects control unit 30 and by time-division and space switching unit 32,33,34 notification message of relevant call failure is sent to the switching subsystem SS_M of the calling party terminal of request call connection, SS_G, SS_T.But,,, by relevant switching subsystem a tone signal is provided to calling party terminal (S14) so if find the transmission failure of notification message as the result of determining step (S12).And, be done if identify the transmission of notification message of the calling party terminal of notification message up to the last time, carry out the cancellation process so, in the cancellation process, close the communication path (S15) of channel.If the reception of all-calls side terminal use cancellation notice message before notification message is sent completely in this group provides the communication path of notification message to be closed by it so, think that other notification broadcast channel provides the space.In this example, if do not provide advise of same message request signal for connecting control unit 23 in the cycle, connect control unit 23 and do not analyze at preset time.Can with a kind of be not that the method for above-mentioned periodicity analysis is analyzed.That is to say, although in above-mentioned situation, connect the periodicity analysis that control unit 23 carries out the notification message request signal, and no matter any reception of notification message request signal, but as selecting, the analysis of notification message request signal can reduce the processor burden that is used for control connection control unit 23 whereby from the moment that the notification message request signal is received.
After classifying to the call treatment failure signal of asking identical notification message and/or dividing into groups, the method for switching system broadcast announcement provides notification message.Therefore, because notification message is to send after the terminal that the same call processing is failed is classified and/or divides into groups, thereby the reason that can easily fail to calling party terminal use notification call.As a result, can alleviate the burden on the whole communication system, also can improve the communication quality of the terminal in the communication.
Those of ordinary skill in the art should be known in and can carry out various improvement and transformation to the method at the switching system broadcast announcement of the present invention, and do not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention.Therefore, the present invention will comprise improvement of the present invention and transformation, as long as they are in the scope of appended claims and equivalent thereof.
