Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the load of a central controller required for monitoring the arrival of an actuating time, by providing a counting table, in which the difference between registering time and reserved time is registered irrespectively of the kind of service, in addition to a registering table, in which the kind of service and actuating time are registered, and a mean which periodically subtracts the difference commonly to each service kind. CONSTITUTION:When a subscriber 4 execute prescribed reserving operations to reserve a service kind (i) for calling another subscriber 5 at prescribed time, a central controller 1 registers the reservation on a registering table 7i provided in a main storage device 6 correspondingly to the service kind (i) and, at the same time, the difference between the calling time and the current time, at which the reserving operations are made, in a counting table 12 together with the calling subscriber number SDN. A periodically actuating mechanism 10 periodically wakes up and extracts the called subscriber number DDN from the registering table 7i, in which the calling subscriber number SDN is registered, and actuates a service mechanism 2i corresponding to the registering table 7i, by subtracting the difference by means of a day subtraction processing section 13, hour subtraction processing section 14, and minute subtraction processing section 15, actuating a control mechanism 11, and referring to each registering table 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an improvement in a reservation service activation method in an electronic exchange.

As part of the diversification of the functions of electronic exchanges, it is now possible to reserve the type of service and the start time of the service, such as a conference call service that allows you to reserve the time of the event, or a wake-up service at a hotel. Accordingly, reservation services that provide reserved services at desired times are being sought after. In electronic exchanges that provide this type of reservation service, the central control unit is activated periodically to monitor the arrival of activation time.
The problem arises as to whether the load on the central control unit will increase as the number of reservation services increases.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a conventional reservation service activation method in this type of electronic exchange.

In Fig. 2, L is connected to the central control unit 1 (CC').
n types of service mechanisms 21 to 2n (SPl to 5Pn
) corresponding to the periodic activation mechanisms 31 to 3n (
PSPI to PsPnl) are set up.

In FIG. 2, subscriber 4 contacts subscriber 5 at a predetermined time! Il]
When a predetermined reservation operation is executed to reserve service type 1 or 1 to n) without calling (8DTa, hour HRa and minute MNa), central controller 1 and main storage 6 (, M
The calling number SD of subscriber 4 is entered in the "registration table 7i (RTi)" provided corresponding to 4J--service type i in M).
N, subscriber 5's IFp party number DDN and the calling time (day DTa, hour IIRa and minute MNa) are registered. In such a state, the periodic activation mechanism 31 is activated periodically, and when provided in the periodic activation mechanism 31, the part 51 8i (i''M)
The comparison unit 91 (

Transmit N. The service mechanism 21 includes a periodic activation mechanism 31
The subscriber 5 is called based on the called party number DDN transmitted from the subscriber 5, and when the subscriber 5 responds, a predetermined service for calling the subscriber 4 is executed.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention 3] As is clear from the above explanation, in the conventional reservation service activation bandage, the periodic activation mechanisms 31 to 3n provided corresponding to the respective numbers - bis a+M21 to 2n periodically , and monitors the arrival of the start time of the registered service type. As a result, as the number of reservation service types increases, the load on the central control device 1 increases, and there is a fear that the processing capacity of the central control device 1 will be strained.

[Means for solving problems]

The problem is that in an electronic exchange that allows a caller to reserve a predetermined service type and start time of the service, a registration table for registering the service type and start time;
An 8J number table is provided for setting the difference between the reservation time and the start time for each call regardless of the service, and a starting means for starting each service at once is provided, and the difference set in the number table is set periodically. This problem is solved by the present invention, characterized in that the service type registered in the registration table is activated by the activation means when the difference has been subtracted.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, in addition to the registration table for registering service types and activation times, an IL number table is provided for registering the difference between the registration time and the reservation time regardless of the service type.
By providing common means for each service type to periodically subtract the difference, the load on the central control unit required for monitoring the arrival of the start time can be significantly reduced.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a reservation service activation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same 2 and T numbers indicate the same objects throughout all the figures.

According to FIG. 1, in the central control unit 1, there are only 11 periodic activation mechanisms 10 and a service management mechanism 11 (SMP) common to n types of service mechanisms 21 to 20. In addition to the registration table 71 for each service type, there is a 4tla table 1 common to each service in the main memory ().
2 (C'r) is provided.

In FIG. 1, subscriber 4 receives subscriber 5 at a predetermined time (day).
] When a predetermined reservation operation is executed to reserve service type i (i is 1 to n) without calling T a , If4fIf Ra and MNa), the central controller l
,0 The registration table 71 provided in the device 6 corresponding to the service type i includes the calling party number SDN of the subscriber 4, the called party number DDN of the subscriber 5, and the calling time (day DTa,
The time difference (day difference ΔDa, time difference Δ
I-T a and the difference ΔM a ) from the calling party number SD
It is registered in the counting table 12 along with N. In this state, the periodic activation mechanism 1-0 is activated periodically, and the daily difference ΔDa registered in the counting table 12 is reduced to 1 by the day subtraction processing unit 13 (DP).
Subtract every 0, and when the daily difference ΔDa becomes O, then the time difference ΔIT
a is subtracted every hour by the hour subtraction processing unit 14 (I(P), and when the time difference ΔHa becomes O, the difference ΔMa is subtracted every minute by the minute subtraction processing unit 15 (MP), and the minute difference ΔMa Also O
Then, the service management mechanism 11 is activated and the calling H number SDN that has been registered is transmitted to the counting table 12 in correspondence with the daily difference ΔDa, the time difference ΔI-1a, and the minute difference ΔMa. 4 No. 1 Hiss Takeri Organization 11 refers to each registration table 7 and enters caller number 5.
