It has the function of extracting address information within 0 and processing data.

Reference numeral 31 denotes a data receiving circuit for receiving address information and processing data in the exchange taken out from the interface adapter 11 connected to the internal bus of the exchange 10.
Reference numeral 32 is a data selection circuit for selecting traffic data from a large amount of exchange processing data sent from the data reception circuit 31, and includes an index memory 32a and an index memory setting circuit 32.
b and gates G1 and G2. The data selection circuit 32 has the following functions. It has an index memory 32a corresponding to the exchange address. Identification information indicating traffic data or non-traffic data is preset in the index memory 32a by the index memory setting circuit 32b in accordance with a user's instruction.

(Example) Traffic data identification 0: Non-traffic data 1: Traffic data A in the figure is this identification information. Also, the index memory 32
The type of traffic data to be collected (b in the figure), the final data display (c in the figure), the classification code (d in the figure), and the sequence number (e in the figure) are provided on a, and according to the user's instruction, Set in advance. This setting is performed by the index memory setting circuit 32b.

(Example) Data type 0: Sequential type 1: Cumulative type (Example) Final data display 0: Non-final data 1: Final data (Example) Classification code 0 to 63 (Example) Sequence number 0 to 127 Index described above In the code of the memory, a enters the gate G2 and b to e enter the gate G1. When a becomes “1”,
The gate G2 passes the processed data, and the gate G1 passes the codes b to e. The outputs of the gates G1 and G2 enter the data acquisition circuit 33. The data collection circuit 33 comprises a sequential collection memory 33a and a collection counter 33b.
Then, the output of the gate G1 is stored in the sequential acquisition memory 33a as codes f to i, and the output of the gate G2 is stored in the code j as traffic data. The data collection circuit 33 takes in the collected traffic data and temporarily stores it in the sequential collection memory 33a. Therefore, it has the following functions. It has a sequential acquisition memory 33a. The sequential collection memory 33a can temporarily store the instruction information (data type, final data display, classification code, sequence number) on the index memory 32a and the selected traffic data.

The output of the data collection circuit 33 enters the data editing circuit 34. The data editing circuit 34 is composed of an editing trigger generation circuit 34a, an editing control circuit 34b, and a classification code corresponding editing memory 34c. The data editing circuit 34 reads the data temporarily stored in the sequential editing memory 33a when the editing opportunity arrives, and edits the traffic data according to the instructed editing method (reordering, collecting the required number of words, deleting duplicate data, etc.). Then, a request for transmission of traffic data satisfying the conditions is sent to the communication processing unit 21. Therefore, it has the following functions. The edit trigger generation circuit 34a is provided to give a start trigger to the edit control circuit 34b. Usually, it is a predetermined fixed cycle. Alternatively, it is possible to generate an editing trigger even when an instruction signal arrives from the WS. The edit control circuit 34b is activated by the edit trigger generation circuit 34a, and normally reads the contents of the sequential collection memory 33a in order from the youngest address (address 0), and corresponds to the classification code h on the sequential collection memory 33a. The traffic data j temporarily stored in the sequential acquisition memory 33a is transferred to the same address as the sequence number i shown in the sequential acquisition memory 33a on the classification code correspondence editing memory 34c.

This transfer method is instructed in advance for each classification code, and there are the following two methods. (Method 1) With rearrangement (non-transparent type) (Method 2) Without rearrangement (transparent type) Further, the editing control circuit 34b ends collecting the required number of words of the traffic data transferred to the classification code corresponding editing memory 34c. The final data display g on the sequential acquisition memory 33a is monitored in order to determine whether or not this has been done. If it is the final data, it is considered that the collection of traffic data is completed, and the editing memory 34 corresponding to the classification code that collected the relevant traffic data.
The communication processing unit 21 is requested to transmit the contents of c to the WS. In addition to this, the traffic data collection is completed at a fixed period regardless of the display of the final data, and the communication processing unit 2
There is also a method of requesting transmission to No. 1.

The edit control circuit 34b can instruct the communication processing section 21 whether to immediately transmit to the WS or to transmit to the WS after the arrival of a fixed period. The edit control circuit 34b has edit instruction data preliminarily instructed by WS or the like, and the edit control circuit 34b operates by this. The data collection unit control circuit 35 controls the operation of each of these components. The operation of the system configured as described above will be described below. (1) Sorting process The interface adapter 11 of the exchange 10 extracts and outputs the address information and the processed data. This output data enters the data selection circuit 32. Of this output data,
The address data enters the index memory 32a as an address, and the contents of the corresponding address are read out. Then, the contents of the corresponding memory are judged.

If the code a is "1" indicating the traffic data, the processing data from the exchange 10 is used as the traffic data and sent from the gate G2 to the data collecting circuit 33. If the memory content is "0" indicating non-traffic data, this processed data is discarded. Note that b
The codes from to e are also collected from the gate G1 to the data collection circuit 33.
Sequential acquisition memory 3 together with traffic data
It is stored in 3a. (2) Collection processing The traffic data sorted by the data sorting circuit 32 is a sequential collection memory in which the data type on the corresponding index memory 32a, the final data display, the classification code, the sequence number and the acquired exchange processing data are collected together. 33a
Are accumulated according to the contents of the collection counter 33b. The collection counter 33b is set to “0” at the time of initial setting or completion of sending.
The traffic data is incremented by 1 each time it is collected. The above operation is repeated each time the traffic data is captured. (3) Editing process When a signal is generated from the editing trigger generation circuit 34a and the editing trigger arrives, the editing control circuit 34b causes the sequential editing memory 3 to operate.
The temporary storage contents are taken out from the designated address of 3a (usually address 0) and stored in the editing memory 34c provided for each classification code,
The traffic data stored in the successive edit memory 33a is transferred to the edit memory position corresponding to the value of the sequence number temporarily stored in the successive edit memory 33a. This process is repeated until all the data stored in the sequential edit memory 33a is processed.

The following editing method can be selected by giving an instruction in advance. Non-transparent method of rearranging the same sequence number according to the sequence number Transparent method of moving to the edit memory 34c in the access order of the exchange Switching the above method according to the purpose of collecting the traffic data allows more flexible traffic data collection Is possible.

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram of non-transparent sequential data editing. In the data selection circuit 32, address information is input to the index memory 32a in the order of access by the exchange. The sequence numbers 2 and 3 are accessed twice. This index memory 32a
When the contents are sorted in the order of access in accordance with the contents of, the sequential collection memory 33a becomes as shown in FIG. Traffic data is also arranged in order of access.

In the case of the non-transparent type, since the traffic data having the same sequence number is overwritten by the later data, the traffic data accumulated in the editing memory 34c becomes the last data.
For example, in the case of traffic (TR) traffic volume 2, the first TR traffic volume 2-1 is overwritten by the later TR traffic volume 2-2. The same applies to the TR call volume 3.

FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram of transparent sequential data editing. In the data selection circuit 32, address information is input to the index memory 32a in the order of access by the exchange. The sequence numbers 2 and 3 are accessed twice. According to the contents of the index memory 32a, rearrangement in the order of access results in the sequential collection memory 33a. Traffic data is also arranged in order of access.

In the case of the transparent type, even the traffic data having the same sequence number is directly stored in the editing memory 34c in chronological order, so that it is stored in the same format as that stored in the sequential editing memory 33a. .. (4) Sending process As a result of the editing, the traffic data corresponding to the classification code for which the final data display has detected "final" has the same number of words, and requests the communication processing unit 21 to send.

By carrying out the operations (1) to (4) described above, the out-of-order traffic data collected by the randomly generated access of the exchange and temporarily stored in the collection memory are designated in advance. The sorted data is rearranged to restore the information effective as traffic data.
