The contents of each information shown in FIG. 13 will be described below. 1. "Calling exchange ID" J1 Identification information (ID number in each exchange) for identifying the exchanges A1 'to An' for which the call information is generated.

2. "Information type" J2, which indicates the type of the call information, "general call information" associated with the call, "facility use information" that is information regarding the operation history indicating that the function of the network is activated, and failure in the exchange There are types such as "system event information" that is information indicating the end of call information for one day.

[0168] 3. "Response condition" J3 This is information for identifying whether or not a call is obtained from the called party in a general call ("completed call" or "incomplete call").

4. "Charging type" J4 This is for identifying the charging mode for the caller of the communication related to the call information, and is information for identifying the normal "charging" or "non-charging".

The processing procedure of the method of the present invention will be described below. Now, when an arbitrary subscriber Aa 'in the communication network A'communicates with another subscriber Aa', the exchange processing of the exchanges A1'-An 'accommodating the subscriber Aa' which is the calling side. In the section Aα ', various kinds of call information as described above are sequentially generated with the communication.

The various call information is stored in the call information processing unit Aβ '.
Are processed in the format shown in FIG. 11 and output to the information transmission unit E1 to control the exchanges A1 'to An'.
It is received at n and H1.

In the exchange adapter parts F1 to Fn, H1,
The call information is received by the receiving unit 23, accumulated in the accumulating unit 24, and made into a file.

The filed call information is transferred by the transfer unit 25 to the distribution function units G1 to Gn, H2 that control the exchange adapter units F1 to Fn, H1 by the information transfer unit E.
2, E2 ', E2 "or directly. This processing operation is repeated for all the exchanges A1'-An' under the control.

In the distribution function units G1 to Gn, H2, call information is compared / classified, distributed and accumulated. First, the transfer unit 25 of the exchange adapter units A1 'to An' under the control of the collection unit 33a of the collection distribution unit 33.
Receive call information from.

Next, in the case of adopting the configuration of the collection distribution unit 33 shown in FIG. 7, in the comparison / classification unit 33b,
By referring to the comparison / classification item table storage unit 33c, the call information is compared / classified on a file basis based on a predetermined classification item, and a file identifier corresponding to each item is added.

Then, the distribution unit 33d determines the identifier added to the call information, and the file d1 in the storage unit 34 is determined.
The call information file is written in the file designated by the identifier among the files dn to dn.

When the configuration of the collection and distribution unit 33 shown in FIG. 8 is adopted, the call information received by the collection unit 33a 'is transferred to the comparison / classification / writing unit 33b' by the comparison / classification item table storage unit. 33c ', the call information is compared and classified in file units based on a predetermined classification item, and the corresponding call information file among the files d1 to dn of the storage unit 34 is classified. Is written.

Here, an example of comparison / classification item table storage units 33c and 33c 'suitable for comparing / classifying call information in the format illustrated in FIG. 13 is shown in FIG.
FIG. 15 illustrates an operation flow when the comparison / classification unit 28b or the comparison / classification / writing unit 33b ′ compares / classifies the various call information of the first four items illustrated in FIG.

Of course, if the call information has a format other than that shown in FIG. 13, the configuration of the comparison / classification item table storage units 33c and 33c 'shown in FIG.
It goes without saying that the operation flow of the comparison / classification unit 33b and the comparison / classification / writing unit 33b 'illustrated in FIG. 15 also changes.

Further, although only four kinds of call information J1, J2, J3, J4 are illustrated in FIG. 13, various kinds of call information other than the call information J1, J2, J3, J4 are also described. Needless to say, can be added after the format illustrated in FIG.

The operation flow of the comparison / classification unit 33b and the comparison / classification / writing unit 33b 'will be described with reference to FIGS. First, call information is read [step I]. Next, the calling exchange IDJ1 is extracted from the call information [step II].

Next, the information type J2 is extracted and classified by the comparison item [step III]. If the information type J2 is "system event information", "d5" is added as a file identifier and the file is written to the file d5 in the storage unit 29 via the distribution unit 28d. Alternatively, when the configuration of the collection distribution unit 33 of FIG. 8 is adopted, it is directly written in the file d5 of the storage unit 34.

Information type J2 is "facility use information"
If it is, “d4” is added as a file identifier and the file is written to the file d4 in the storage unit 34 via the distribution unit 33d. Alternatively, when the configuration of the collection distribution unit 33 of FIG. 8 is adopted, the data is directly written to the file d4 of the storage unit 34.

If the information type J2 is "general call", then the response condition J3 is extracted and classified by the comparison item [step IV]. Here, when the response condition J3 is “no response” (= incomplete call), “d1” is added as a file identifier, and the storage unit 34 is added via the distribution unit 33d.
Is written to the file d1. Alternatively, when the configuration of the collection distribution unit 33 of FIG. 8 is adopted, the storage unit 34
Is directly written to the file d1.

When the response condition J3 is "response" (= completed call), the charging type J4 is extracted and classified by the comparison item [step V]. Here, when the charging type J4 is "charging", "d2" is added as a file identifier and written in the file d2 of the storage unit 34 via the distribution unit 33d, and when the charging type J4 is "non-charging" Adds "d3" as a file identifier, and writes it in the file d3 of the storage unit 34 via the distribution unit 33d. Alternatively, when the configuration of the collection distribution unit 33 of FIG. 8 is adopted, the data is directly written to the file d1 of the storage unit 34.

After the above operations of the collection distribution unit 33 and the storage unit 34 are completed, the distribution function units G1 to G1
The Gn and H2 use the call information accumulated in the accumulating unit 34 corresponding to each classification item to the operation systems D1 'to D1.
Send to n '.

That is, in the distribution unit 35, the information transmission unit E
The call information accumulated in the accumulating unit 34 is sequentially transmitted to the operation systems D1 'to Dn' in units of files via S3.

At this time, when a plurality of items are designated, the call information classified into the designated items is stored in the files d1 to d1.
Operation system D1'-
Send to Dn '.

In the operation systems D1 'to Dn', the distribution function units G1 to G are thus arranged.
Various applications are executed using the call information collected from n and H2.

Next, an example of a detection method when the distribution function units G1 to Gn, H2 are congested or broken down will be described. The control method between the exchange adapter parts F1 to Fn, H1 and the distribution function parts G1 to Gn, H2 is as follows.

First, the exchange adapter parts F1 to Fn, H1.
The distribution function units G1 to Gn, H2 each send a reception completion signal to the exchange adapter units F1 to Fn, H1 each time a predetermined number of blocks of call information are received.

After transmitting a predetermined number of blocks, the exchange adapter units F1 to Fn, H1 stop transmitting until receiving the reception completion signal from the distribution function units G1 to Gn, H2.

As described above, by providing the rules for both communications, the distribution function units G1 to Gn, H2.
When congestion occurs in the distribution function units G1 to Gn, H
2 cannot send the reception completion signal, the exchange adapter units F1 to Fn, H1 are in operation while congestion is occurring.
Will stop sending call information.

In the unlikely event that the distribution function units G1 to Gn, H2 fail, the distribution function units G1 to Gn, H.
2 cannot execute the protocol processing defined in the communication, and the exchange adapter units F1 to Fn, H1 detect the abnormality of the protocol.

The control method described above is a type of control method generally called "window control" in the field of data communication, but it is of course possible to use another control method for congestion / fault. .

Further, between the exchanges A1 'to An' and the exchange adapters F1 to Fn, H1, and the distribution function G.
1-Gn, H2 and operation system D1'-D
A similar control method can be used for the failure / congestion detection method during n '.

In case of a failure or congestion, the exchanges A1 'to An' and the exchange adapters F1 to F'are prepared.
The control of each of the storage units 24, 34, 45, 54 of the n, H1, and the distribution function units G1 to Gn, H2 adopts a method that causes no loss of call information as much as possible.

That is, in the method of the present invention which aims to efficiently and properly distribute the use of call information, it can be said that the loss of call information is the most serious damage. Therefore, each storage unit 24, 34, 45, In 54, the call information and files are mirrored (call information and files that are stored in one side are stored so that the call information and files that are stored in one side are surely copied to the other side) and complete dual systemization is not adopted. The operation system D1 'to Dn' can be freely adopted in the storage unit 54.

[0199]

As described above, according to the present invention, the call information generated in the telecommunications network can be efficiently and properly distributed to the operation system that requires them, so that the call information can be effectively used. It demonstrates the usefulness of being able to efficiently perform various services.

Further, in classifying and distributing the call information, the call information is stored by the switch adapters in a distributed manner. Therefore, even if the information distribution unit is congested or malfunctions, each operation system is required without fail. Since it is possible to secure call information to be stored and to configure the capacity of one storage unit to be small, it is economical and avoids lengthening of read / write (access) time, and speeds up processing. It offers excellent usefulness, convenience, and economic efficiency.
