Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an intelligent network, and more particularly to an intelligent network capable of changing voice data for intelligent peripherals.

[0002]

[Prior Art] Intelligent Network (Intelli
In gent network, SCP (Service Contr
ol Point: A service control station) is installed and the data and control programs for controlling various services are installed there. Then, it sends an instruction to an exchange (node) called SSP (Service Switching Point) that is connected under the control of SCP,
Services are provided to the entire communication network by executing call connection operations. In such an intelligent network, an intelligent peripheral (Intelligent Peripheral) has resources for processing information in the voice band.
Alternatively, a voice service is provided in response to an instruction from the SSP.

It is assumed that a subscriber makes a toll-free call to a repair department of an ABC automobile company, for example, by using a toll-free service as a kind of wide area call charging service. The toll-free number for this car company itself is 012
It is assumed that it is 0-XXXX, and the subscriber dials this toll-free number, and the intelligent peripheral says "ABC car company." If you want to call, please dial "2". If you want to call the technical department, please dial "3". Then, when the subscriber dials "2", the telephone is connected to the intended repair department.

[0004]

As described above, conventionally, a voice for an application is provided inside the intelligent peripheral of the intelligent network, and the production and modification of the voice are performed by the manufacturer of the intelligent peripheral. Therefore,
If the user needed to change the voice for the application, he had to ask the developer of this intelligent peripheral to do this. As a result, it takes a certain amount of time from the request for development to the change of voice, and there is a problem that it is often difficult to provide prompt service.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an intelligent network which allows a user to change voice via a public network.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a node called a service control station is installed in a communication network, and data for controlling various services and a control program are installed in the node. In an intelligent network that provides services to the entire communication network by sending instructions to a switch called a service switching center, which is connected under the control, to execute a call connection operation, it has resources for processing voice band information and services. An intelligent network is provided with an intelligent peripheral that provides a service in response to an instruction from a control station or a service switching center, and a voice changing unit that changes voice for an application of this intelligent peripheral via a public network.

That is, the present invention achieves the above-mentioned object by enabling the voice for the application of the intelligent peripheral to be changed via the public network by using, for example, an ordinary push button type telephone.

EXAMPLES The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an intelligent network according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In this intelligent network, S
A node called CP11 is installed. This SC
Data for controlling various services and a control program are installed in P11. SCP11 is C
N standardized by CITT (International Telegraph and Telephone Advisory Committee)
o. 0th SSP 13 ₀ via 7 network 12
To the nth SSP 13 _n , respectively. However, in this figure, the 0th SSP13 ₀ and the nth SSP13
_n is shown as a representative. The SCP 11 sends an instruction to the exchange (node) as the 0th SSP 13 ₀ to the nth SSP 13 _n to execute the call connection operation,
It provides services to the entire communication network.

In this intelligent network,
The intelligent peripheral 15 is arranged.
The intelligent peripheral 15 has a resource for processing voice band information and provides a service in response to an instruction from the SCP 11 or the nth SSP 13 _n . The intelligent peripheral 15 is connected to the nth SSP 13 _n via an intelligent peripheral control data link 16 and an intelligent peripheral voice link 17.
In addition, the SSP13 ₀ of the zeroth, the intelligent peripheral audio data change for the phone 18 is connected. Further, the two voice lines of the 0th SSP 13 ₀ and the nth SSP 13 _n are connected to each other via the public network 19. The intelligent peripheral voice data changing telephone 18 does not have to be a special telephone, and may be a normal touch-tone type telephone used for other SSPs.

The intelligent network of this embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration. The operation of the intelligent peripheral 15 in this intelligent network will be described first. The call processing program of the nth SSP 13 _n refers to an internal table (not shown) at each break of the call processing process such as completion of reception of dialed digits. Then, if the conditions specified in this internal table and the conditions of the call to be controlled match, it is judged that the network service is intelligent. In this case, the instruction with the information such as the dialed number and the service code set in the internal table as the parameter is No. 7 SCP via network 12
Send to 11.

Upon receiving this instruction, the SCP 11 analyzes the parameter, selects the required service description, and issues the instruction for the required control to No. 1. 7 to the nth SSP 13 _n via the network 12. Nth SS
When P13 _n receives the instruction from SCP11,
Accordingly, the necessary information is sent to the intelligent peripheral 15 via the intelligent peripheral control data link 16. Intelligent peripheral 1
5 performs a corresponding operation according to the received control information.

Next, a specific operation will be described by taking the toll-free service as an example. The subscriber shall toll-free to the repair department of the ABC automobile company as described above. The subscriber dials 0120-XXXX as the toll-free number for this car company. Nth
The call processing process of the SSP 13 _n refers to the internal table at the break of the call processing process of completion of the reception of the dialed digits. Then, "0" specified in this internal table
Since the number condition of 120 "matches the condition of the call to be controlled, it is determined that it is a toll-free service in the intelligent network service.
In this case, the instruction with the information such as the dialed number and the free dial service code set in the internal table as a parameter is No. 7 to the SCP 11 via the network 12.

The SCP 11 analyzes the parameters of this instruction and selects a toll free service description. Then, the instruction of the required control is No. 7
Nth _nth SSP 13 _n via the network 12
Send to.

The nth SSP 13 _n sends necessary information to the intelligent peripheral 15 via the intelligent peripheral control data link 16 according to the instruction from the SCP 11. The intelligent peripheral 15 sends a voice prompt to the nth nth SSP 13 _n via the intelligent peripheral voice link 17 according to the received control information. Here, if the voice prompts follow the example above, the intelligent peripheral is "ABC car company.", "If you want to call the sales department, please call" 1 ". "If you want to call the technical department, please dial" 3 "." After hearing this voice prompt, the subscriber will dial the corresponding number "2" assigned to the repair department.

By the way, the intelligent peripheral 15 receives the dialed digit "2" via the intelligent peripheral voice link 17. Then, the information is transmitted to the intelligent peripheral control data link 16, the nth SSP 13 _n and the No. 7 to the SCP 11 via the network 12. The SCP 11 converts the corresponding telephone number based on the received information, and outputs the converted telephone number and call setting instruction as No. 7
It is sent to the corresponding SSP in the 0th SSP 13 ₀ to the nth SSP 13 _n via the network 12. This establishes a connection between the calling subscriber and the repair department of the relevant car company. In this way, intelligent processing including voice processing is performed at the network level.

In such an intelligent network, it is assumed that voice data is changed using the intelligent peripheral voice data changing telephone set 18. In the example above, "It's an ABC car company."
"If you want to call the sales department, please dial" 1 ", if you want to call the repair department, please dial" 2 ", if you want to call the technical department, please dial" 3 "." This is the case when the contents are changed. In this case, the operator uses the intelligent peripheral voice data changing telephone 18 to dial a special telephone number which is set for changing the intelligent peripheral voice data and which is taught only to the operator. As a result, for example, a call connection operation is performed in the same manner as the processing of 0120-XXXX described above, and the intelligent peripheral voice link 17 and the intelligent peripheral voice data changing telephone 18 are provided.
The call path connection with is made. For security purposes, the intelligent peripheral 15 uses this call.
Send a message such as "Enter password" to the operator. The operator inputs the password using the push button signal of the intelligent peripheral voice data changing telephone 18, and the voice data can be rewritten only when the password is correct.

[0018]

As described above, in the intelligent network of the present invention, the user can freely change the application voice data of the intelligent peripheral by using the telephone and through the public network. Therefore, it is not necessary to request the manufacturer of the intelligent peripheral to change the voice. Therefore, there is an effect that the service can be introduced early and the user customization can be realized.
