Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a call volume analysis process for measuring the call volume of communication as a material for improving the network configuration in a toll-dial network or the like composed of a self-employed exchange. Regarding the device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a communication facility for voice communication or data communication in a company or the like, there are many examples in which a relatively large-scale toll-dial network is constructed by using a private exchange.

As shown in FIG. 2, for example, such a network basically has an exchange of the terminal station 1 and an exchange of the relay station 2, and these exchanges are connected by a trunk line having a required communication performance. Consists of

The terminal station 1 accommodates a terminal 4 such as a telephone or a data terminal, and a relay line 5 connected to the relay station to connect the terminals within the own station to each other and to connect with terminals of other stations. The exchange process for connecting the terminal 4 and the trunk line 5 is performed for the call for the communication.

Further, the relay station 2 recognizes the designation of the destination terminal station for each relay call received on the relay line 5 and transmits the relay call to the relay line 5 to each necessary route. Relay exchange processing for connecting the

Further, in the actual configuration of the exchange, as shown as the relay terminal 3 in FIG. 2, for example, when the size of the exchange is appropriate, the above-mentioned terminal station function and relay station function are merged into one exchange. It may be handled in-house.

As a relay station, the relay terminal station accommodates the relay line 5 to process the connection between the relay lines and also accommodates the terminal 4 in the same manner as the terminal station 1 so that the terminal stations communicate with each other. The connection is processed and the terminal in the own station and the other station are connected.

However, in the case of a relay terminal station, there is no physically separated route between the relay call and the terminal station incoming / outgoing call such as connecting from the terminal station to the relay station via a relay line, and the relay call Local calls are mixedly processed.

In the above network, the communication congestion state is evaluated, and based on the evaluation result, in order to improve the communication state and the network efficiency, etc., the number of relay lines between stations and the switching equipment are required. It is necessary to consider the arrangement of

In order to show the congestion state of communication in the network, the call volume of communication between the terminal stations is a basic material.
Call volume is, for example, for communication equipment (for example, trunk line),
It is the amount expressed by the total usage time per unit time,
A call volume measuring device capable of measuring a call volume for each destination by monitoring a communication state of a trunk line or the like is widely used.

Therefore, with respect to the transmission from each terminal to the relay station, either the terminal on the terminal side of the relay line 5 (for example, the position indicated by 7 in FIG. 2) or the terminal on the relay station side (8 in FIG. 2) is transmitted. By connecting the above call volume measuring device, it is possible to measure the outgoing call volume for each destination of the terminal station, and the required call volume measured at each terminal station is used for each destination for each originating terminal station. It is obvious that the call volume of the communication between the respective terminal stations can be obtained by separately collecting.

However, in the relay terminal station as described above, the terminal station functional portion and the relay station functional portion are not physically separated, and naturally there is no relay line between the stations. It is not possible to measure the outgoing call volume from the above.

Therefore, in order to measure the outgoing call volume from the terminal functional part of the relay terminal station, for example, a modification in which a call volume measuring program is added to the exchange processing program of the central control unit of the exchange of the relay terminal station or the like. It is conceivable that the outgoing call from the functional part of the terminal station to the other terminal station is extracted and the call volume is measured.

However, a large amount of work is required to modify the exchange process of the operating exchanges, and it is generally said that the same type of exchanges are installed in each station forming the network. However, it is not limited, and it makes the work more difficult when dealing with them individually.

Therefore, it is desirable to be able to measure the required call volume of any relay terminal station without affecting the switching process by using the above-mentioned call volume measuring device.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a call quantity analysis processing device capable of easily measuring a call quantity originated from a terminal station functional portion of a relay terminal station.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present invention. The figure shows the configuration of the call volume analysis processing device, and shows the outgoing call volume for each destination terminal station of each terminal station in a network in which a plurality of stations having a relay station function and a terminal station function are connected by a relay line. A call volume analysis processing device for measuring the outgoing call volume from the terminal function part of a relay terminal station that combines the relay station function and the terminal function for measurement,
10, a totaling unit 11 and a calculating unit 12.

The measuring unit 10 is connected to the relay line of the relay terminal station,
By intercepting the communication of each trunk line, the destination terminal station of each call is identified and the call volume is measured. The totaling unit 11 totalizes the call volume measured by the measuring unit 10 according to the origination / termination of the relay terminal station and the destination terminal station.

The calculating unit 12 obtains the call volume obtained by subtracting the counting result of the incoming trunk line from the counting result of the outgoing trunk line, with respect to the counting result of the destination terminal station by the tallying unit 11, respectively. It is recorded as the outgoing call volume from the functional portion of the relay terminal station to the destination terminal station.

[0020]

As described above, the call quantity analysis processing apparatus of the present invention measures the call quantity only by intercepting the signal of the relay line of the relay terminal station, and from the measured call quantity, the terminal function section of the relay terminal station is detected. Since the outgoing call volume to the other end station is extracted for each destination, it is possible to measure the required call volume of the inter-terminal communication at any time without affecting the exchange process even in the case of the relay terminal station.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which a call quantity measuring device 20 connected to each trunk constitutes the measuring unit 10 of FIG.

Each call quantity measuring device 20 intercepts the signal transmitted through the trunk line, collects the destination of each call by extracting, for example, a dial signal, and sends it to the totalizing part 21. The aggregating unit 21 aggregates the number of destinations received from the call volume measuring device 20 by referring to the network configuration information 24 given in advance, and collects the appropriate number as the call volume information 25 by the destination of each trunk line group of each route. The data is recorded in the storage device 23 such as a magnetic floppy disk storage device.

It should be noted that each call quantity measuring device 20 has, for example, a floppy disk device, records the information of the identified destination, and after the measurement of the required time is finished, the totaling unit 21 reads the floppy disk and totals it. It is also possible to have a configuration.

After the measurement of the required time is completed, the calculation unit 22 processes the call volume information 25 of the aggregation result of the aggregation unit 21, and each terminal station and relay terminal station directly connected to the station determined by the network configuration information. In the case of (3), the internal terminal functional parts, and the outgoing call volume 26 for each destination are output.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the processing flow of the totalizing unit 21 of the present invention. As the network configuration information, for example, “relay line number, partner station name and attribute (terminal or relay station distinction)” is given for each relay line, and is stored in the storage device 23, for example. .

FIG. 4 shows a process when the totalizing unit 21 receives one destination identified by any one of the call volume measuring devices 20 together with a trunk line number. In processing step 30, the network configuration information is obtained by the trunk line number. Then, in process step 31, the call origination / termination is identified.

In the case of an outgoing call, next, in processing step 32, it is identified whether the partner station is a terminal station. If it is a terminal station, in process step 33 the partner terminal station name (this relay station or directly connected to the relay terminal station). Terminal
Calling volume (L)
count as "is") and the process ends.

If the partner station is not the terminal station, in step 34, the call volume (Lks and Lks) of the destination (Lk) received from the call volume measuring device in the destination-specific outgoing call volume to the relay station. Count).

If the call is not an outgoing call but an incoming call, the process branches from process step 31 to process step 35 to identify whether the partner station is a terminal station. If it is a terminal station, in step 36 the partner terminal station name (Li)
Thus, the call volume (LirLk) of the destination (Lk) received from the call volume measuring device is counted among the incoming call volumes for each destination originating from the terminal.

If the other party of the incoming call is not a terminal station, in processing step 37, the call quantity (Lkr) of the destination (Lk) received from the call quantity measuring device in the incoming call quantity by destination from the relay station. Count to.

The above Lks and Lkr do not have to be set for each relay station, and the call volume under each of the above conditions may be collectively collected for each destination.

The calculation unit 22 performs the following calculation from the call volume information 25 obtained by repeating the above-described operations and calculates the terminal station directly connected to the relay station or the relay terminal station which has performed the measurement, and the terminal station function of the relay terminal station. For each part, the call volume for each destination originating from each terminal is calculated, and the call originating amount for terminal 26 is output.

That is, the call volume destined to the terminal station Lj directly originating from the terminal station Li = LirLj, the call volume destined to the terminal station Lj originating from the functional portion of the terminal station = Ljs−Ljr−ΣLi
rLj However, ΣLirLj is the LirLj of all direct connection terminal Li for the same Lj.
Is the sum of

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining, as an example, that the inter-terminal call volume can be calculated as described above. As shown in (a), the terminal stations L ₁ and L ₂ relay to the relay terminal station T _1. In a network that is directly connected by a line and the relay terminal T ₁ is also connected to the terminals L ₄ and L ₅ via the relay station T ₂ , the call volume at the relay terminal T ₁ is as described above. Consider the case of measuring. The terminal functional part of the relay terminal T ₁ is called terminal L ₃ .

At each call volume measuring point of the relay terminal station T ₁ , FIG.
Call volume as indicated by the symbol is measured. It is clear that these call volume values are shown in the matrix of the originating and terminating terminals as shown in Fig. 5 (b). As is clear from this figure, first, the terminal originating from the terminal directly connected to the measuring station is transmitted. Call volume by destination is
All can be collected directly.

Next, the total call volume for each destination is also collected for all the destinations, and among the elements of each total, only the call volume originating from the terminal station L ₃ of the terminal functional portion of the relay terminal station T ₁ is unknown. Therefore, if the known call volume, that is, the call volume destined for this destination other than L ₃ is subtracted from the total call volume for each destination, the call volume of L ₃ origin is obtained.

The call volume analyzing and processing apparatus of the present invention can be naturally used not only at the relay terminal station but also at the relay station to measure the inter-terminal communication call volume. In that case, as is clear from the above, omit the call volume measurement for the outgoing call of the trunk line that collects the total call volume for each destination, and measure only the incoming call of the trunk line connected to the direct terminal station. Just go.

[0038]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, in measuring the communication call volume between terminal stations of a network, from the call volume obtained by intercepting the signal of the relay line of the relay terminal station,
Since the outgoing call volume of the terminal function part of the relay terminal can be extracted for each destination, the required call volume for inter-terminal communication can be measured at any time without affecting the exchange processing even in the case of a relay terminal. This has the remarkable industrial effect of facilitating the efficiency of network operation by facilitating the understanding of the communication congestion state.
