Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a delay in distribution by allowing a distribution control section to distribute a distribution pointer to an attendant board through an exchange ticket reaching a distribution timing from its indication area so as to advance the pointer thereby discriminating an area to be distributed next immediately. CONSTITUTION:When an exchange ticket stored in an area pointed out by a distribution pointer 12 of an exchange ticket storage section 11 reaches the distribution timing, the exchange ticket is extracted and distributed to an attendant board 26, the pointer 12 is advanced, which points out a storage area of the exchange ticket to be distributed next. Moreover, the exchange ticket from the attendant board 26 seeks a position corresponding to the distribution timing of the exchange ticket based on the location pointed out by the pointer 12 and the location is used as an idle area retrieval start location. Since the exchange ticket is stored in an idle area found out at first, even in the case of the same distribution timing, the exchange ticket stored before is extracted early and distributed to the attendant board. Thus, the distribution delay of the exchange ticket is prevented.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Regarding an exchange ticket storage and distribution control method for storing exchange tickets from an exchange table and distributing the exchange tickets to the exchange table, the present invention relates to an exchange ticket storage and distribution control method that prevents distribution delays due to the storage position of the exchange ticket. an exchange ticket storage unit that stores exchange tickets from an exchange table; a storage control unit that controls storage of exchange tickets in the exchange ticket storage unit; and a storage control unit that extracts and distributes exchange tickets from the exchange ticket storage unit. and a distribution pointer that indicates the storage area of the exchange ticket to be distributed next from the exchange ticket storage section, and the exchange ticket from the exchange table is controlled based on the area specified by the distribution pointer. The exchange ticket is stored in an empty area of the exchange ticket storage section determined according to the distribution timing value of the ticket under the control of the storage control section, and under the control of the distribution control section,
The exchange ticket is taken out from the indicated area of the distribution pointer and distributed to the exchange table, and the indicated area of the distribution pointer is moved forward.

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a switchboard storage and distribution control system for storing exchange tickets from a switchboard and distributing the exchange tickets to the switchboard.

The standby operation service provided by the switchboard at the exchange center is essential at the international exchange center. This standby operation service is still in high demand even now, when instant calls on international lines are widespread.

This standby operation service uses an exchange ticket that records the data of the subscriber requesting the service, etc. It is stored in a storage section consisting of memory, distributed to the exchange at the distribution timing, and is exchanged based on the exchange ticket. A call etc. will be made. Therefore, the storage and distribution of exchange chiget I.
It is necessary to control so that services are provided evenly.

(Prior Art) FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a conventional example, in which numeral 31 is an exchange child ticket storage unit consisting of a memory, 32 is a storage control unit that controls storing an exchange ticket in the exchange ticket storage unit 31, and 33 is an explanatory diagram of a conventional example. A distribution control section 34 is an exchange table that takes out exchange tickets at distribution timing from the exchange ticket storage section 31 and distributes them.

The exchange ticket storage section 31 stores a plurality of area numbers, 0 to 0.
When the exchange ticket I, which has No. and n and records the data of the subscriber of the standby operation service, is transferred from the exchange board 34 via the signal line, the storage control unit 32 stores the exchange ticket. A search for an empty area is started from the beginning of the section 31 (area N00), and when an empty area is found, the exchange ticket is stored there.

The distribution control unit 33 is activated at predetermined time intervals, and when activated, exchange tickets that are ready to be distributed are stored from the top (area No. 0) of the exchange ticket storage unit 31. Search to see if there is one, take out the exchange ticket with the first distribution timing found,
It is transferred to the switching board 34 via a signal line.

At the exchange table 34, the recorded contents of the exchange ticket are displayed on the display device, and the operator operates according to the displayed contents.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

When storing and distributing exchange tickets, the search always starts from the beginning (area No., O) of the exchange ticket storage section 31, finding an empty area when storing exchange tickets, and checking the distribution timing when distributing exchange tickets. Find a replacement ticket. In this case, a problem arises in that the chances of distribution of the exchange ticket decrease depending on the storage location of the exchange ticket.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4(a), areas No. 0, No. 1, No. of the exchange ticket storage section 31
, 2, exchange tickets distributed after 1 minute each) A, B
, C are stored, and when searching for an exchange ticket to be distributed every minute, after one minute has passed, the exchange ticket storage section 31 is searched from the top (area No. 0) and the exchange tickets A, B at the distribution timing are searched. , C are detected.

At that time, even if the system has multiple exchange machines installed, if only two exchange tickets can be distributed, then
Exchange tickets 1 to A in areas No. 0, No. 1 that can be searched and distributed from the beginning of the exchange ticket storage section 31
, B are distributed to the exchange board, but the exchange ticket C remains. In this case, as shown in (b), area N
o, O, No., and 1 are empty.

Immediately after the exchange tickets A and B are distributed, when exchange tickets D and E, which will be distributed one minute later, are transferred from the exchange table, a search for an empty area is performed from the beginning of the exchange ticket storage section 31 (area N00). I, Area No. O.

Since No. 1 is empty, exchange tickets D and E.
is stored, resulting in the state shown in (C).

After one minute has passed after storing exchange tickets D and E, a search from the beginning of the exchange ticket storage section 31 (area N00) indicates that exchange tickets D and E are due for distribution, and at this time, they are also placed on the exchange table. Assuming that there are two exchange tickets that can be distributed, as shown in (d), exchange tickets D,
E will be distributed, but the exchange ticket I-C will remain.

After one minute has passed in this state, the exchange ticket storage section 31 is searched from the beginning (area No., O). At that time, areas No. 0, No. 1 are vacant, and area N
Since the exchange ticket C stored in areas No. 0 and 2 has passed the distribution timing, this exchange ticket C is distributed to the exchange table as shown in (e), and is distributed to areas No. 0 and N.
o, INo., and 2 are empty.

As mentioned above, exchange ticket C is exchange ticket A, B.
However, it will be distributed after exchange tickets D and E, which were stored after that, and service degradation due to the delay in distribution of exchange ticket C becomes a problem.

The present invention aims to prevent distribution delays due to the storage location of exchange tickets.

[Means to solve the problem]

The exchange ticket storage and distribution control system of the present invention shifts the reference point of the exchange ticket storage position each time the exchange ticket is distributed, and will be explained with reference to FIG.

Based on the designated area of the distribution pointer 4, the exchange ticket is stored in an empty area of the exchange ticket storage section 1 determined according to the distribution timing value of the exchange ticket under the control of the storage control section 2.

Under the control of the distribution control unit 3, the exchange ticket is taken out from the designated area of the distribution pointer 4 and distributed to the exchange table, and the designated area of the distribution pointer 4 is advanced.

[Effect]

The distribution control unit 3 takes out the exchange ticket whose distribution timing has come from the designated area of the distribution pointer 4, distributes it to the exchange table, and advances the distribution pointer 4, so that the distribution pointer 4 stores the exchange ticket to be distributed next. The area of Part I will be immediately known.

Further, the storage control unit 2 searches for an empty area at a position according to the distribution timing value of the exchange ticket based on the designated area of the distribution pointer 4, and stores the exchange ticket in the empty area. If the timing value indicates 5 minutes later, 5 minutes from the distribution pointer 4 indication area.
After a few minutes, a vacant area at the corresponding position is searched and the exchange ticket is stored. Therefore, the exchange ticket is 5
At the distribution timing after 1 minute, the exchange tickets will be distributed in the order in which they are stored, and it is possible to prevent a distribution delay due to the storage position of the exchange ticket.
