Description

  The present invention relates to a message transmission system and method for transmitting a message using a telephone number continuous use service that does not depend on a telecommunications carrier.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a telephone number transmission type computer device has been developed that can automatically check the usage status of a telephone (telephone number) using a computer. By using this computer device, the applicant can accumulate information including the current and past history of telephone numbers, such as the usage status and changes of telephone numbers, and can provide survey results in a short time. Developed a "phone number usage status survey providing apparatus and method" using a network and applied for a patent (see Patent Document 1).

  According to the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, the validity (use) / (invalid) investigation of a telephone number is performed on the premise that there is no ringing (no charge) when a call is placed. . In order to increase the accuracy of this silent search, the applicant selects one of the transmission capabilities (non-restricted, voice) and places a call to the telephone under investigation, and calls, progress displays, and reasons in the response signal A “self-supporting telephone number cleaning system” that determines whether a telephone number is valid / invalid from a display value or the like was developed and patented (see Patent Document 2).

  In accordance with the technology disclosed in Patent Document 2 described above, the applicant has conducted a survey with almost no ringing and no incoming calls since the beginning of 2002, but over the past few years, the ringing rate (charge rate) has gradually increased. ) Has been confirmed by a billing request from NTT (registered trademark). Specifically, according to the billing results, about 400,000 (0.36%) were charged for about 110 million effective mobile phones. Such a high ringing rate is a very annoying act of ringing the owner's phone and must be avoided. In addition, it is a fatal situation for telephone number cleaning companies, and there is a demand for the emergence of a method to urgently avoid ringing.

  On the other hand, in the case of a mobile phone, it is a well-known fact that the 4th to 6th digits of the phone number represent the telecommunications carrier (carrier) with whom the contract was initially made. This is because the 080-CD code of the mobile phone number 11 digits (080-CDE-FGHJK) is shown in the column and the E code (1-9) in the row on the page of the telecommunications number designation status on the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications website. Published in the table. This page is regularly updated and published.

  By the way, regarding the CDE department that has been released as of January 7, 2013, NTT Docomo (registered trademark) from 100 to 299, Softbank Mobile (registered trademark) from 300 to 499, KDDI (registered trademark) from 500 to 647 , 648 and 649 are assigned to Okinawa Cellular (registered trademark), 650 to 699 are assigned to KDDI (registered trademark), and 700 to 768 are assigned to eAccess (registered trademark) (omitted from 769 onwards). These telecommunications carriers give each mobile phone an 11-digit number added to the FGHJK department at the time of the contract and sell it. Therefore, at the beginning of the contract, the telecommunications carrier is identified from the mobile phone number.

  Conventionally, in the validity / invalidity investigation of the mobile phone number, a call is specified by specifying the transmission capability for each telecommunications carrier that can be identified by the mobile phone number (CXX code of XXX-CDE-FGHJK), and the call response information is sent An investigation method based on no ringing has been established by controlling the message immediately after collection. However, in recent mobile phones, it has been found that not only the investigation by no ringing can be established, but also the validity / invalidity determination of the telephone number is erroneously determined by some telecommunications carriers. Specifically, according to the survey from March to April 2010, about 20 million valid phone numbers of one (non-public) of the three representative telecommunications carriers at present are invalid. It was misjudged. For this reason, there has been a demand for the emergence of a method for performing a valid / invalid determination with high accuracy without completely depending on the telecommunications carrier, while completely achieving no ringing in the mobile phone number search.

  By the way, since the start of the number portability service, even if the user changes the telecommunications carrier, the user does not have to change the mobile phone number. For this reason, the advent of a method for automatically detecting the latest telecommunications carrier is desired. Various inconveniences arise when the telecommunications carrier is unknown. For example, even if trying to send a short mail, the telecommunications carriers cannot connect to each other and therefore cannot send.

  In addition, with the spread of multifunctional mobile devices such as smartphones (registered trademark), the amount of communication is expected to increase, so telecommunications carriers are considering areas where radio waves do not reach or areas that are difficult to reach on a nationwide scale. Entrusted to a specialized contractor for investigation. However, the contracted specialists select a region for each telecommunications carrier and investigate the reception and transmission status of radio waves transmitted from that region. After the number portability service started, telecommunications Even if the operator changed, there was no way to know that, and the investigation was carried out with the former telecommunications carrier belonging. Therefore, the emergence of a correct telecommunications carrier identification method is also desired in this field.

A telephone number area (city, area code) and a storage area for linking and storing address information of the area and a storage area for storing telephone book data are provided. Note that the telephone number history DB 200 may be provided separately from the self-supporting telephone number search apparatus 1 as shown in the figure, or provided inside the self-supporting telephone number search apparatus 1.

  As the display device 3, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display Device) or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) configured by arranging a large number of pixels (a combination of light emitting elements of a plurality of colors) vertically and horizontally is used. Note that a printing device such as a printer may be connected instead of the display device 3, and in some cases, output to a recording medium such as a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) or USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory may be used. . The input device 4 is a keyboard.

  The self-contained telephone number investigation device 1 is connected to the exchanges 7, 8, and 9 prepared for each telecommunications carrier via the calling side exchange 5 provided between the private lines 6 of the telecommunications companies. Is done. Although not shown in the figure, the line is also connected to the general public line switch for fixed telephones such as NTT (registered trademark) and the PHS switch such as air edge (registered trademark) via the calling side switch 5. Connecting. The self-supporting telephone number search device 1 collects data of a large number of subscriber telephone numbers regularly or collectively at any specified time, and stores all telephone number information existing in the telephone number history DB 200. . The self-supporting telephone number investigation device 1 stores the telephone numbers distributed to the communication companies approved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in the telephone number history DB 200, and stores the telephone numbers allocated to fixed telephones, mobile telephone terminals, PHS terminals, etc. Investigate the most recent telecommunications carrier when using valid (in use) / invalid (not in use) and number portability services. These latest survey results are displayed on the display device 3 and the customer information in the telephone number history DB 200 is updated.

  The self-supporting telephone number search device 1 performs a periodic check such as once a month or once every two months. The contents investigated by the self-supporting telephone number investigation device 1 are “transmission” in accordance with the description of JT-Q931 “ISDN user / network interface layer 3” of TTC standard published by NTT East as a result of telephone number transmission on a digital telephone line. The call response information consisting of “capability”, “response message”, “reason display”, and “generation source” is collected through the call-side exchange 5, and immediately after the collection, the telephone line is disconnected. Therefore, there is no telephone conversation with the other party of the telephone number, and the telephone ring is not ringed. All the telephone numbers stored in the telephone number history DB 200 are investigated, and the call response information including the reason display is found corresponding to each telephone number. New telephone number) "etc. can be recorded in the telephone number history DB 200 by a predetermined procedure. Further, the telephone number history information in the telephone number history DB 200 is enriched by periodically conducting this investigation and accumulating the telephone number change information.

  The applicant has found that there is a difference between the call answering information for each telecommunications carrier or a specific telephone number group, and there is a certain rule regarding the mobile phone number. In addition, when calling was repeated for all terminal models sold by each telecommunications carrier, it was also found that there was a difference in the call response information for each terminal model. It has also been found that there is a certain rule in the call response information when a call is made with the transmission capability set to “unrestricted” and when a call is made with “voice” set.

  From this, the applicant repeatedly made a call by experiment, collected response signals for telecommunications carrier judgment, and patterned them. Specifically, when the transmission capability is set to “unlimited” for the first call, “voice” is set for the second call, and the first call response information and the second call response information at this time are Patterned. Here, the reason why the transmission capability is set to “unrestricted” in the first call is because the terminal does not ring or does not receive a call. If the ringing and the incoming call rate are ignored, even if the call is “unlimited” after “voice”, patterning is possible, so that the same effect is naturally obtained.

  In some cases, the same effect can be obtained by making a call by selecting “voice” as the transmission capability and patterning the call response information. The call at this time is only once. For example, when the telephone number pattern is 0806271XXXX and the call response information is “response message: disconnection, generation source: RN, reason display: temporary failure”, the telephone number is valid (“real”) and the telecommunications business The person is limited to Company D. For example, when the call response information is “response message: disconnection, generation source: TN, reason display: no partner route”, the telephone number is valid and the telecommunications carrier is limited to company A. In addition, when the call response information is “response message: disconnection, generation source: TN, reason display: no subscriber”, the telephone number is valid (“real”), and the latest telecommunications carrier is limited to company D Is done. Further, when the call response information is “response message: disconnection, generation source: RN, reason display: other service or optional unavailable class”, the telephone number is invalid (“removal convenience”) and the latest telecommunication The company is limited to Company A. Thus, the applicant has patterned the above rules from millions of experiments.

(Operation of the embodiment)
Hereinafter, the operation of the message transmission system 300 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 3 shows the basic operation of the message transmission system according to the present embodiment, FIG. 4 shows the “voice processing” operation during the basic operation shown in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 shows the “unrestricted” operation during the basic operation shown in FIG. It is a flowchart which shows each of a "digital processing" operation | movement.

  In FIG. 3, the main control unit 11 of the self-supporting telephone number search device 1 first refers to the telephone number history DB 200 allocated and stored in a partial area of the storage device 2 to acquire telephone number information (step). S10). Then, the telecommunications carrier is specified from the digit information of a part of the acquired telephone number, and the transmission capability is determined according to the patterned rules (step S11). For example, in the case of a telephone number specified by a telecommunications carrier other than NTT Docomo (registered trademark), the voice transmission capability is selected, and in the case of a telephone number specified by NTT Docomo (registered trademark), unrestricted digital information is selected. Select the transmission ability.

  The details of the call response information acquisition process (step S12) when the voice transmission capability is selected are shown in FIG. 4, and the call response information acquisition process (step S12) when the non-restricted digital information transfer capability is selected (step S12). Details of S13) are shown in a flowchart in FIG. 5 as subroutines.

  According to FIG. 4, the call control unit 12 sends a message using the voice transmission capability to the calling side switch 5 according to the call setting (step S121). Monitor message transmission. When the call control unit 12 receives the progress display message (“YES” in step S122), the call control unit 12 sends a disconnect message to the calling side exchange 5 (step S129). On the other hand, when the progress display message has not been received from the calling side exchange 5 (step S122 “NO”), the calling control unit 12 determines whether or not a response message has been received from the calling side exchange 5 ( Step S123). When a response message is received (step S123 “YES”), the call control unit 12 sends a disconnect message to the caller exchange 5 and then disconnects the line (step S128). Is acquired (step S127).

  If the response message has not been received from the calling side switch 5 (step S123 “NO”), the calling control unit 12 further determines whether or not a call message has been received from the calling side switch 5. (Step S124). When the call message is received here (step S124 “YES”), the call control unit 12 sends a disconnect message to the call-side exchange 5 and then disconnects the line (step S128). Obtain (step S127). On the other hand, when the calling message has not been received from the calling side switch 5 (step S124 “NO”), the calling control unit 12 further determines whether or not a disconnect message has been received from the calling side switch 5 ( Step S125).

  If a disconnect message is received (step S125 “YES”), the call control unit 12 disconnects the line with the caller exchange 5 (S126), and receives the call from the caller exchange 5. Response message, source of response message, and reason display value. As described above, NTT (registered trademark) publishes “response message”, “reason display”, and “generation source” in the technical data of the INS network service. The main control unit 11 collects JT-Q931 (Layer 3) information by using a call control message (call setting, response, call, disconnection, release, release completion) with the calling side exchange 5. If a disconnect message has not been received (step S125 “NO”), the process proceeds to a progress display message reception determination process (step S122), and the above-described series of processes is repeated.

  As the “reason display”, missing number: # 1, no route to designated Nakamei network: # 2, no route to partner: # 3,..., Normal disconnect: # 16, called user busy: # 17 , Subscriber absence: # 20, communication refusal: # 21, partner subscriber number change (transfer guidance): # 22, etc. The “generation source” indicates the position of the network in which the response message has occurred. Specifically, the user U, the local user accommodation facility network LPN, the local user accommodation public network LN, the relay network TN, the remote user accommodation There are a public network RN, a remote user accommodation facility network RPN, and the like.

  The call control unit 12 stores the call response information regarding these “response message”, “reason display”, “generation source” and the like together with the telephone number pattern and the call setting pattern under the control of the main control unit 11. 10 pattern tables 100 are stored. The series of processes (S121 to S127) are repeatedly executed until all the telephone numbers stored in the telephone number history DB 200 are read, and the call response information is acquired each time.

  The details of the call response information acquisition process by the call control unit 12 when the transmission capability of unrestricted digital information is selected in the basic operation of FIG. 3 (step S11 “unrestricted”) is shown in FIG. Yes.

  According to FIG. 5, the calling control unit 12 first transmits a message to the calling side exchange 5 using a signal that uses the transmission capability of unrestricted digital information (step S131). Then, timeout monitoring for n seconds is performed (step S132). If timeout is detected here (step S132 “YES”), the calling control unit 12 disconnects the line with the calling side exchange 5 (step S133). Note that n is a time allowed for obtaining call response information by no ringing immediately after disconnecting a call until it is disconnected. Subsequently, the call control unit 12 checks the presence / absence of call response information (step S134). If there is call response information (step S134 “YES”), the “response message”, “reason display”, “ The call response information regarding the “generation source” and the like is acquired (step S135).

  The call control unit 12 stores the call response information regarding these “response message”, “reason display”, “generation source” and the like together with the telephone number pattern and the call setting pattern under the control of the main control unit 11. 10 pattern tables 100 are recorded. The series of processes (S131 to S135) are repeatedly executed until all the telephone numbers stored in the telephone number history DB 200 are read, and call response information is acquired each time.

  The description returns to the basic operation of FIG. After executing the above-described call response information acquisition process, the main control unit 11 edits the acquired call response information for each telephone number based on a predefined rule for each telephone number pattern and call setting pattern, ( a) The current call result is recorded in the pattern table 100 of the storage unit 10 (step S14). Subsequently, the main control unit 11 shifts the control to the necessity of re-calling, validity / invalidity determination of the telephone number, and determination processing of the latest telecommunications carrier by the calling control unit 12 and the determination unit 13.

  First, the calling control unit 12 determines whether or not a re-calling is necessary by referring to the “learning flag” of the data item of the determination result 10a of the current calling result in the pattern table 100 (step S15). Here, if the learning flag is “1” and it is determined that the re-calling is required (retry required) (step S15 “YES”), the call control unit 12 calls the call response information based on the previous call (destination). The call setting pattern used for the current call is determined with reference to the contents recorded in the pattern table 100 as the current call (step S16). Here, the conditions of the re-calling are pre-patterned by the pattern of the call response information held as the previous call result in the pattern table 100, and the call control unit 12 re-calls based on the conditions, Alternatively, control is transferred to the determination unit 13 under the control of the main control unit 11 without re-calling.

  As a result, the determination unit 13 determines whether the telephone number is valid / invalid only from the call response information of the current call, and also determines the latest telecommunications carrier. Specifically, when the “learning flag” of the corresponding telephone number group in the pattern table 100 is learning prohibited “0” (retry unnecessary), when it is referenced, the telephone number is validated / invalidated by a single call. And the most recent telecommunications carrier is determined.

  Next, if there is call response information by re-calling (step S17 “YES”), the determination unit 13 acquires the current call response information via the call control unit 12 (step S18), and the previous call response. After comparison with the information, pattern analysis is performed (step S19). Here, the determination unit 13 sets the call response information collected by the call based on the determined condition of the current call to a call pattern that is previously patterned for at least one of the telecommunications carrier, the telephone number group, and the terminal. Based on the call response information, analysis is performed to determine whether the telephone number is valid and the latest telecommunications carrier.

  The determination unit 13 determines whether the telephone number is valid or invalid based on the call response information recorded in the pattern table 200. Similarly, the latest telecommunications carrier is determined. Here, call response information including “phone number pattern”, “call setting pattern”, “response message”, “generation source”, and “reason display” is used as a determination element. Here, the “telephone number pattern” refers to a group of telecommunications carriers or a telephone number group such as 0903101 *** or 0806071 ***. Further, as the “call setting pattern”, three kinds of transmission capabilities of voice (G711), unrestricted digital (32k), and unrestricted digital (G711) are used.

  Specifically, the telephone number (11 digits) pattern is “0808061XXXX” group and the current call result is “call setting pattern: voice, response message type: disconnection, generation source: RN, reason display: temporary failure”. When the previous call result is “call setting pattern: unrestricted digital (32k), generation source: TN, reason display: no route to the other party”, the determination unit 13 determines that the call is valid (actual) The carrier determination unit 13 determines that the latest telecommunications carrier is company D (KDDI).

  Regardless of the telephone number pattern, the current call result is “call setting pattern: voice, response message: disconnection, generation source: RN, reason display: other service or optional non-provided class”. When the call result is “call setting pattern: voice, partner exchange response message: disconnection, generation source: RN, reason display: other service or optional unprovided class”, the determination unit 13 determines that the call is valid (actual). In addition, it is determined that the telecommunications carrier is Company A (DoCoMo).

  Also, regardless of the telephone number pattern, the current call result is “call setting pattern: voice, response message: disconnection, generation source: TN, reason display: missing number”, and the previous call result is “call setting pattern: non-calling”. In the case of “restriction (32k), generation source: TN, reason display: unprovided transmission capability designation”, the determination unit 13 determines invalid (missing number), and the determination unit 13 determines that the latest telecommunications carrier is company C ( (Softbank).

  As described above, when the determination unit 13 determines that the telephone number is valid (step S20 “Yes”), the main control unit 11 shifts control to the transmission control unit 14 to perform message transmission processing. The transmission control unit 14 passes through the re-calling by the call control unit 12 and follows the transmission procedure specified by the latest telecommunications carrier determined by the determination unit 13, and the dedicated line 6 laid for each telecommunications carrier. A message such as a short mail is sent to the telecommunications carrier's exchange 7 (8, 9). That is, the determination unit 13 identifies the telecommunications carrier, and the transmission control unit 14 distributes and transmits the message via the dedicated line 6 prepared for each telecommunications carrier. Specifically, when the determination unit 13 determines that the most recent telecommunications carrier is company A, the transmission control unit 14 controls the calling-side exchange 5 to provide a dedicated line laid for the company A. 6, a message such as a short mail is sent to the exchange A of company A via 6. As described above, in the message transmission system 300 according to the present embodiment, since the latest telecommunications carrier is specified and the message is transmitted, the message transmission error can be reduced and the accuracy of mail transmission can be improved. In addition, the message transmission system according to the present embodiment is used to transmit a message to the telecommunications carrier specified by the determination of the determination unit 13 via the telecommunications carrier's dedicated line 6 regardless of the general public network. According to 300, it is possible to send a message even in the case of congestion such as an event or a disaster.

  If the determination unit 13 determines that the telephone number is invalid in the telephone number validity / invalidity determination process in step S20 (step S20 “No”), the main control unit 11 displays the result on the display device 3. (Step S22). At this time, the main control unit 11 updates the telephone number history DB 200 allocated and stored in a partial area of the storage device 2 to refresh the stored contents to the latest state.

  According to the message transmission system 300 according to the present embodiment, the determination unit 13 specifies the telecommunications carrier by making a call, but according to call response information obtained by making a call in advance or Regardless of the pattern table 100, the telecommunications carrier can also be determined by the assigned telephone number (CDE code). The transmission control unit 14 distributes the transmission from the telecommunications carrier determined by the determination unit 13 to the dedicated line 6 prepared for each telecommunications carrier.

  Incidentally, in the message transmission system 300 according to the present embodiment, the nearest telecommunications carrier is determined and the dedicated line 6 is selected. However, the error is within the allowable range, but the telephone number history DB 200 examined in advance is used. It goes without saying that the same effect can be expected by performing simple transmission using the telecommunications carrier of the corresponding telephone number recorded. By using such a revolutionary method, if the telecommunications carrier is identified and transmitted from the 4th to 6th digits (example: 080-CD code and E code) of the telephone number, the incoming rate is in the 80% range. However, the incoming rate was 98% or more, and a large number of erroneous transmissions could be prevented. In addition, as new mobile phones are gradually spread from old mobile phones, an incoming rate of 100% can be expected in the end.

(Effect of embodiment)
As described above, according to the message transmission system 300 according to the present embodiment, the transmission control unit 14 performs the electrical communication according to the telecommunications carrier determined by the determination unit 13 through the re-call by the call control unit 12. In accordance with the transmission procedure specified by the communication carrier, the message is transmitted via the dedicated line 6 laid for each telecommunications carrier. For this reason, message transmission errors can be reduced and the accuracy of message transmission can be improved. In addition, since the message is transmitted to the specified telecommunications carrier via the telecommunications carrier's private line 6 regardless of the general public network, even in the event of congestion such as in the event or disaster occurrence Message transmission can be enabled.

  Further, according to the message transmission system 300 according to the present embodiment, the determination elements used for determining the validity / invalidity of the telephone number are not limited to the conventional progress display and reason display information elements, but call setting patterns, response messages, and generation By adding the source to the determination element, it is possible to improve the accuracy of the determination of validity / invalidity of the telephone number, to realize a non-ringing investigation, and to make a determination that does not depend on the telecommunications carrier. Furthermore, the analysis of the call response information collected by one call is made by learning without requiring the analysis of the call response information collected by two calls, and the validity / Since invalidity determination is possible, the processing speed for telephone number search is improved and efficient operation is possible.

  Further, by refreshing and using the stored contents of the telephone number history DB 200 to the latest state, the message transmission system 300 can be constructed separately from the self-supporting telephone number investigation device 1. Further, the generated telephone number history DB 200 can be benefited by distributing it to companies that regularly need it using a recording medium, distributing it using a communication line, or using it for searching. The customer side can clean the telephone number of customer information and use it for credit check of new applicants. The applicant has already provided such a service for a long time, but has filed a new application for the purpose of solving the problems of the present invention and enabling higher-level information collection. By providing all the assumed telephone numbers in a shorter time than once a month, the satisfaction of companies that aim to clean all telephone numbers can be obtained.

  According to the message transmission system 300 according to the present embodiment, the telephone number history DB 200 updated by the preliminary investigation using the latest telecommunications carrier found from the mobile phone number or using the self-supporting telephone number investigation device 1. A message is transmitted via a dedicated line 6 laid for each telecommunications carrier using the telecommunications carrier recorded in the above. As a result, in the previous 3.11 Great East Japan Earthquake and the earthquakes that occurred after that, the telecommunications carrier side restricted the transmission, and there was an event where general email, short mail, telephone calls, etc. could not be made However, it was possible to confirm the great effect that all transmissions were completely received by transmission using the dedicated line 6.

  As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, it cannot be overemphasized that the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications or improvements can be added to the above-described embodiments. Further, it is apparent from the scope of the claims that the embodiments added with such changes or improvements can be included in the technical scope of the present invention.
