Description

  The present invention relates to a data conversion apparatus and a data conversion program. For example, in a service order (SO) process for controlling a call agent (CA), a command having a different format is converted into a command format for CA control. The present invention can be applied to a data conversion apparatus and a data conversion program.

  For example, in a node constituting a voice communication service provided on an Internet protocol (IP) network, a core is a call control server (call agent: CA) that performs call control.

  The CA is controlled by a management node, and as a management node that controls the CA for provisioning of a voice communication service, a CA provisioning server (hereinafter also referred to as a CA provider server) or a CA provisioning terminal (hereinafter referred to as a CA provider terminal). Is a typical one.

  Also, the DB server accumulates in the database the SO history, subscriber contract information set in the CA by the SO, and the like.

In the conventional voice communication service system on the IP network, as shown in FIG. 2, the CA 91 is directly connected to a management node such as a CA provider server 93 or a CA provider terminal. The CA provider server 93 and the CA provider terminal 94 perform SO communication with the CA 91 by directly inputting a command for controlling SO processing to the CA 91 (see Patent Document 1).
Further, in recent voice communication service systems on the IP network, in order to improve the efficiency of CA control and the efficiency of holding CA control information, as shown in FIG. SO communication between the server 93 or the CA provider terminal 94 and the CA 91 is performed.

(A) Main Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of a data conversion apparatus and a data conversion program of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(A-1) Configuration of Embodiment (A-1-1) Overall Configuration FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram showing a configuration of a service order (SO) request command conversion system of this embodiment.

  5, the service order request command conversion system 10 of this embodiment includes a call agent (CA) 1, a DB server 2, a CA provisioning server (CA provider server) 3-1, a CA provisioning terminal (CA provider terminal) 3- 2 to be configured.

  The call agent (CA) 1 performs call control related to the voice communication system. This embodiment will be described assuming that the call agent is replaced with a new CA1. In CA1, the SO interface unit 11 is newly customized, and the command format is different from the existing SO request command.

  The CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 are management nodes that control CA1. The CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 have an SO interface unit 31 that performs SO processing. In this embodiment, CA1 is replaced with a new one, but the system on the CA provider server 3-1 and CA provider terminal 3-2 side is exemplified as a case of operating as it is.

  Examples of commands that the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 input to the CA 1 include, for example, a subscriber information registration command, a subscriber information update command, and a subscriber that make a new subscription for a voice communication service. There are an information deletion command, a temporary removal registration or temporary removal registration release command, a representative registration command for registering a representative of a contractor, a representative change command, a representative deletion command, and the like.

  The CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 can also input commands for various services related to voice communication to the CA 1. Examples of commands for various services related to voice communication include commands for registering, changing, and canceling a transfer service and registering, changing, and canceling a number notification service.

  The DB server 2 stores an SO request command between the database 22 that stores the history of SO and subscriber contract information set in the CA 1 by the SO, the CA provider server 3-1, the CA provider terminal 3-2, and the CA 1. And an SO processing unit 21 for converting the command format.

  Here, the SO processing unit 21 absorbs the SO interface difference between the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 and CA 1.

  Since the DB server 2 includes the SO processing unit 21, the SO interface difference between the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 and the CA 1 can be absorbed. Only the DB server 2 can be customized for the interface unit.

  That is, the customization target of the SO interface unit accompanying the replacement of the new CA 1 can be concentrated on the DB server 2. Thereby, customization of the SO interface unit can be reduced for the CA provider server 3-1, the CA provider terminal 3-2, and CA 1.

  Accordingly, new CA1 can be procured from a general-purpose product, and the change work of the SO interface unit accompanying the transition of CA1 does not occur.

  The existing CA provider server 3-1 and CA provider terminal 3-2 can control CA1 with an existing SO request command. Furthermore, the change work of the SO interface part of the existing CA provider server 3-1 and CA provider terminal 3-2 does not occur.

  Therefore, it is possible to reduce the time and cost required from the replacement of the new CA1 to the start of service. Also, as shown in FIG. 4B and FIG. 6, when the simplest node configuration is adopted, the customization target is changed from the conventional 4 nodes to 1 node. Can be reduced to ¼ that of the prior art.

(A-1-2) Internal Configuration of SO Processing Unit 21 FIG. 1 is an internal configuration diagram illustrating a functional internal configuration of the SO processing unit 21 included in the DB server 2.

  The SO processing unit 21 includes devices such as a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an EEPROM, and an input / output interface unit. The SO processing unit 21 illustrated in FIG. 1 is executed by the CPU executing a command conversion program stored in the ROM. The function of the DB server 2 is realized. Further, the SO processing unit 21 is also formed by installing a command conversion program in the DB server 2, and even in this case, it can be functionally represented in FIG.

  As described above, the SO processing unit 21 converts the command format of the SO request command from the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 into a command format compatible with the CA processing of the CA1, and after the conversion The SO request command is given to CA1.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the SO processing unit 21 includes a data acquisition unit 110, a parameter editing processing unit 120, a command conversion processing unit 130, and a command processing unit 140.

  The data acquisition unit 110 acquires an SO request command from the CA provider server 3-1 or the CA provider terminal 3-2 that is a management node, and provides the acquired SO request command data to the parameter editing processing unit 120.

  The parameter editing processing unit 120 checks the data format of the SO request command data from the data acquisition unit 110 and the parameter permissible conditions, and converts the data into data in the internal data format.

  The command conversion processing unit 130 converts the internal data converted by the parameter editing processing unit 120 into a command format provided to the CA 1 by the command processing unit 140 described later, and gives the converted data to the command processing unit 140. is there.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the command conversion processing unit 130 includes a KEY conversion unit 131, a KEY information conversion table 132, a command conversion unit 133, a command conversion table 134, a command list generation unit 135, a command list 136, and command generation auxiliary information generation. Section 137 and command generation auxiliary information 138.

  The KEY conversion unit 131 refers to the KEY information conversion table 132, and converts the KEY information included in the SO request command data received from the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 into the KEY information used in the system. To convert.

  The KEY information conversion table 132 is a table in which the KEY information included in the SO request command data from the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 is associated with the KEY information used in the system.

  FIG. 7 is a configuration diagram showing a configuration example of the KEY information conversion table 132 of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, the KEY information on the management node side and the KEY information inside the system are associated one-to-one.

  Here, the KEY information is user identification information for uniquely identifying a subscriber (for example, a user ID). For example, the SO request command data from the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 includes user identification information for identifying a subscriber as KEY information. The user identification information is defined according to the system on the management node side, and corresponds to, for example, a contractor name, a contractor number, terminal information, a terminal number, and the like.

  On the other hand, the KEY information used in the system is, for example, a telephone number.

  That is, all the KEY information as user identification information used in the system on the management node side can be converted into a telephone number inside the system.

  For example, it is assumed that the DB server 2 is connected to a plurality of systems as a system on the management node side. A certain system defines a contractor name as user identification information, and another system defines a contractor number as user identification information. Even in such a case, the KEY information conversion unit 131 can convert all user identification information into telephone numbers.

  Here, the KEY information used in the system is a telephone number in this embodiment, which is an example of a voice communication service. Since a contractor (user) is assigned a telephone number, the management node side This is because the user can be uniquely identified regardless of the system type.

  The command conversion unit 133 refers to the command conversion table 134 specified by the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2, and converts the data in the internal data format converted by the parameter editing processing unit 120 into CA1. It is to be converted into a command to be provided.

  The command conversion table 134 is a conversion table for converting the command processing unit 140 into a command provided to CA1.

  FIG. 8 is a configuration diagram showing a configuration example of the command conversion table 134 of this embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the command conversion table 134 is given a table name as table identification information such as “Table A”, “Table B”, and the like. In addition, each command conversion table 134 defines one or more command names for instructing the designated function to the CA 1 and parameters necessary for the command.

  For example, when the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 specify “table A” with the SO request command, the “command A”, “ It is necessary to give a command with “command B”,... For example, in order to generate “command A”, the necessary data of “parameter a,. Accordingly, the command conversion unit 133 refers to the command conversion table 134, generates one command at a time using the necessary data for generating each command, and generates a command with the specified table name. To do.

  The command list generation unit 135 generates a command list 136 that activates the command processing unit 140. That is, the command list generation unit 135 generates a command list to be input to the command processing unit 140. The command list generation unit 135 lists the commands converted by the command conversion unit 133.

  The command list 136 is generated by the command list generator 135.

  FIG. 9 is a configuration diagram showing a configuration example of the command list 136 of this embodiment. The command list 136 in FIG. 9 is converted by the table conversion table 134 of “Table A” in FIG. 8, for example. The command list 136 in FIG. 9 lists commands “command A”, “command B”,... Defined in “table A”.

  The command generation auxiliary information generation unit 137 has insufficient information in one SO request command from the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2, and the command processing unit 140 cannot generate a command provided to the CA 1. The data acquired so far is saved as command generation auxiliary information 138.

  For example, when a management node of an existing system requests a transfer service to an existing call agent, the existing management node side inputs three SO request commands. In contrast, it is assumed that the new CA1 includes necessary data included in the three conventional SO request commands and is received by one SO request command.

  In this case, even if the command conversion processing unit 130 acquires one existing SO request command, the command conversion processing unit 130 does not have enough data and cannot generate a command.

  Therefore, the command generation auxiliary information generation unit 137 saves the data acquired so far as the command generation auxiliary information 138 until necessary information is acquired. After that, when the command conversion processing unit 130 acquires the remaining SO request command and inputs necessary data, the data included in the SO request command acquired this time and the data saved as the command generation auxiliary information 138 The command is generated using

  The command processing unit 140 provides a function for operating subscriber data to the CA 1 in a command format. The command processing unit 140 includes a competition condition confirmation unit 141 that confirms competition conditions for various services, and a database setting unit 142 that sets subscriber contract information and the like in the database 22.

  The SO request command can prepare various services related to, for example, new subscriber registration, subscriber update, subscriber deletion, temporary withdrawal registration / registration cancellation, representative registration, representative change, representative deletion, and voice communication. .

(A-2) Operation of Embodiment Next, the operation of the service order (SO) request command conversion process of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  The SO processing unit 21 performs the following processing as the difference absorption processing of the SO interface unit between the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 and CA 1.

  (1) A process of setting the KEY information conversion table 132 in order to absorb the KEY information difference between the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 and the CA 1 on the database 22.

  (2) A process of dividing one SO request into a plurality of SO requests from the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 and requesting them from the CA1.

  (3) A process of aggregating a plurality of SO requests from the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 into one SO request and requesting it from the CA. At this time, the SO processing unit 21 achieves consistency in the order of inputting a plurality of SO requests.

(A-2-1) Setting process of KEY conversion table 132 FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of the setting process of the KEY conversion table 132 of this embodiment. FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the setting process of the KEY conversion table 132 in the SO processing unit 21.

  When performing new subscription registration, setting of the KEY conversion table 132 for a new subscriber, notification of a new subscriber registration command to CA1, registration of subscriber contract information (subscriber data) to the database 22, etc. Necessary.

  Therefore, in the following, in addition to the setting process of the KEY conversion table 132 when registering a new subscriber, notification of a new subscriber registration command to the CA 1 and subscriber contract information (subscriber data) to the database 22 are performed. The registration process will be described.

  First, SO request data related to new subscriber registration is given to the SO processing unit 12 from the CA provider server 3-1 or the CA provider terminal 3-2.

  In the SO processing unit 12, when the data acquisition unit 110 acquires SO request data related to new subscriber registration (S101), the parameter editing processing unit 120 confirms the acquired data and formats the acquired data into data in the internal data format. Conversion is performed (S102).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the data (accepted data) acquired by the data acquisition unit 110 includes “table A” that specifies a command conversion table for new subscriber registration, the CA provider server 3-1, or the CA provider. “User ID = AAAA” as KEY information defined on the system side of the terminal 3-2, “Telephone number = 001” of the contractor, “Contract 1 = 1” indicating the contract content, “Contract 2 = 2” , ... etc. are included.

  In this case, the parameter editing processing unit 120 generates predetermined internal data based on the acquired data (accepted data) as shown in FIG. Internal data can be defined in various formats. In the case of the example of FIG. 11, the internal data includes respective necessary data items and data such as “table (command conversion table) = table A”, “user ID = AAAA”, “phone number = 001”, and the like. Corresponds.

  Next, the command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the internal data generated by the parameter editing processing unit 120 and determines the command conversion table 134 having the specified table name (S103).

  Then, the command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the internal data according to the conditions of the command conversion table 134 (S104), and generates a command list 136 according to the conditions of the command conversion table 134 (S105).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11, in the internal data, “table = table A”, the command conversion processing unit 130 determines the command conversion table of “table A”, and uses “table A”. A command list 136 of commands input by the command processing unit 140 is generated.

  In this case, “table A” indicating command conversion for new subscriber registration requires command A, command B,..., For example, parameters necessary for generating command A are described.

  Therefore, the command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the internal data, acquires necessary data for generating the command A from the internal data, and sets the necessary data for the command A in the command list 136. Such processing is also performed for all other commands (for example, command B) described in “Table A” to generate a command list 136.

  Next, the command conversion processing unit 130 acquires, for example, “user ID = AAAAA” and “phone number = 001” as KEY information from the internal data, associates “AAAAA” with “001”, and performs KEY conversion. The table 132 is set (S106).

  Further, the command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the command list 136 and supplies the command processing unit 140 with the data necessary for the commands set in the command list 136 one by one from the top in order, and starts up (S107). ).

  As a result, the command processing unit 140 is activated, generates a command in a command format to be provided to the CA 1 based on the data from the command conversion processing unit 130, and inputs the command to the CA 1.

  Further, the command processing unit 140 generates subscriber contract information based on the data from the command conversion processing unit 130 and registers it in the database 22 (S108).

(A-2-2) Dividing process for converting one SO request into a plurality of SO request commands FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the operation of the dividing process of the SO request according to this embodiment. FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram for explaining division processing in the SO processing unit 21.

  Here, for example, a case where the content of the subscriber contract information is updated is illustrated.

  First, SO request data regarding subscriber information update is given to the SO processing unit 12 from the CA provider server 3-1 or the CA provider terminal 3-2.

  In the SO processing unit 12, when the data acquisition unit 110 acquires SO request data related to subscriber information update (S201), the parameter editing processing unit 120 confirms the acquired data and formats the acquired data into data in the internal data format. Conversion is performed (S202).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the data (accepted data) acquired by the data acquisition unit 110 includes “table B” that specifies a command conversion table for subscriber information update, the CA provider server 3-1, or the CA provider. “User ID = AAAA” as KEY information defined on the system side of the terminal 3-2, “phone number = 001” of the contractor, “contract 1 = 0” indicating the contract content, etc. are included. Yes.

  Here, for example, the subscriber contract information registered in FIG. 11 will be described on the assumption that the contents of “contract 1 = 1” are updated as “contract 1 = 0”,.

  Next, the command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the internal data generated by the parameter editing processing unit 120 and determines the command conversion table 134 of the specified table name (S203). For example, since the internal data in FIG. 13 is “table = table B”, the command conversion processing unit 130 determines the command conversion table of “table B”.

  Next, the command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the internal data according to the conditions of the command conversion table 134 (S204), and acquires KYE information.

  The command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the KY information conversion table 132, acquires a telephone number corresponding to the KEY information (S205), and generates a command list 136 according to the conditions of the command conversion table 134 (S206).

  For example, referring to the internal data in FIG. 13, “user ID = AAAA”, so that the command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the KEY information conversion table 132 and “phone number corresponding to“ user ID = AAAA ”. = 001 "is acquired. Further, the command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the internal data, acquires necessary data for the command C, for example, from the internal data, and sets it in the command list 136.

  Next, the command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the command list 136 and supplies the command processing unit 140 with data necessary for the commands set in the command list 136 one by one from the top in order, and starts the command ( S207).

  As a result, the command processing unit 140 is activated, generates a command in a command format to be provided to the CA 1 based on the data from the command conversion processing unit 130, and inputs the command to the CA 1.

  Further, the command processing unit 140 updates the subscriber contract information based on the data from the command conversion processing unit 130 and registers it in the database 22 (S208).

(A-2-3) Aggregation processing for converting a plurality of SO requests into one SO request command FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the operation of the aggregation processing for aggregating a plurality of SO requests according to this embodiment. FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the aggregation processing in the SO processing unit 21.

  Here, for example, a case where the content of the subscriber contract information is updated is illustrated.

  First, SO request data regarding subscriber information update is given to the SO processing unit 12 from the CA provider server 3-1 or the CA provider terminal 3-2.

  In the SO processing unit 12, when the data acquisition unit 110 acquires SO request data related to subscriber information update (S301), the parameter editing processing unit 120 confirms the acquired data and formats the acquired data into data in the internal data format. Conversion is performed (S302).

  Next, the command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the internal data generated by the parameter editing processing unit 120 and determines the command conversion table 134 having the specified table name (S303).

  Then, the command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the determined command conversion table 134 and detects the presence / absence of necessary information based on the other command conversion table 134 (S304).

  For example, in FIG. 15, it is assumed that the internal data of the received data D1 acquired first is D3. Since “table = table D” is described in the internal data D3, the command conversion processing unit 130 determines the command conversion table 134 of “table D”.

  At this time, for example, “table D” describes that the information of “table E” is necessary, and the command conversion processing unit 130 detects that the information of “table E” should be acquired.

  The command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the internal data according to the conditions of the command conversion table 134 (S305), refers to the KYE information conversion table 132, and acquires a telephone number corresponding to the KEY information (S306).

  Here, the information of “table E” is necessary for “table D”, but information necessary for generating the command for the update request is insufficient. Therefore, the command conversion processing unit 130 saves data necessary for command conversion of “table D” as command generation auxiliary information 138 (S307).

  If the command generation conditions are insufficient (S308), the process returns to S301, and then the data received from the CA provider server 3-1 and the CA provider terminal 3-2 is acquired (S301).

  For example, in FIG. 15, the reception data D2 is the data received next. Assume that the internal data of the reception data D2 is D4. The command conversion processing unit 130 repeatedly performs the processes of S302 to S307 while referring to the internal data D4.

  When the information that satisfies the command generation condition is acquired in S308, the command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the command generation auxiliary information 138 and generates the command list 136 using the data of the command generation auxiliary information 138 (S309).

  Then, the command conversion processing unit 130 refers to the command list 136 and provides the command processing unit 140 with the data necessary for the commands set in the command list 136 one by one from the top in order, and starts (S310). ).

  As a result, the command processing unit 140 is activated, generates a command in a command format to be provided to the CA 1 based on the data from the command conversion processing unit 130, and inputs the command to the CA 1.

  Further, the command processing unit 140 updates the subscriber contract information based on the data from the command conversion processing unit 130 and registers it in the database 22 (S311).

(A-3) Effects of the Embodiment As described above, according to this embodiment, the SO server is provided in the DB server interposed between the management node and the CA, so that the management node and the SO interface unit of the CA are provided. Eliminates the need for customization. As a result, it is possible to reduce the time and cost related to customization of the SO interface unit associated with replacement of a new CA.

(B) Other Embodiments While various modified embodiments have been described in the above-described embodiments, the present invention can also be applied to the following modified embodiments.

(B-1) In the above-described embodiment, the case where the call agent is replaced with a new CA has been described as an example.

  However, the present invention can be widely applied if the commands related to the SO processing between the CA and the management node that controls the CA are different and an SO processing unit is provided between the CA and the management node.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, it is the case of CA replacement, but the present invention can also be applied to the case of management node replacement. Even in this case, if the command conversion table in the SO processing unit can be defined, the same effect can be obtained.

  Further, for example, if the command format is different between the CA and the management node, the present invention can also be applied to the case where the CA and the management node are replaced at the same time.

  Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the DB server includes the SO processing unit is illustrated. However, the SO processing unit is not limited to being provided in the DB server, and can be realized by interposing a device functioning as the SO processing unit between the CA and the management node.

(B-2) In the above-described embodiment, the case of the telephone service (voice communication service) has been exemplified, but the present invention can also be applied to a system related to other service order processing.
