The present invention relates to a subscriber profile change method of changing a subscriber's data profile online using a call processing route in an intelligent network.

The development of services in the intelligent network is gradually entering the personalization stage of services. In personalizing services, one of the most necessary is to make it easy for service subscribers to change their service parameters.

The subscriber profile holding the subscriber information can be changed in two ways. The general method is a modification through a service management system (SMS), which is an intelligent network system that manages subscriber information. The subscriber of the intelligent network service can change his or her data indirectly through the service manager in charge of the operation of the service management system (SMS), or directly to the service management system (SMS) through the subscriber access interface through a modem.

However, this method was inconvenient for the subscriber because the subscriber profile could only be changed through the service management system.

The present invention, which is drawn out to solve the above problems, provides a subscriber profile change method in which a subscriber retrieves and modifies the contents of a subscriber profile using a telephone or the like as using an intelligent network service without using a service management system (SMS). Its purpose is to.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a subscriber profile change method applied to an intelligent network that processes a service by an interaction between a service switching point (SSP) and a service control point (SCP). Receiving a profile change request message, retrieving a subscriber identification number message to verify a password; A second step of, if the password matches, receiving a code indicating a type of information of a profile to be changed, searching for a subscriber profile, extracting a current value, and delivering the current value to the subscriber; And a third step of changing the subscriber profile if the change value is valid and notifying the subscriber of the result of the change.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment according to the present invention;

1 is a configuration diagram of an intelligent network to which the present invention is applied, and 100 represents a service control system, respectively.

The intelligent network processes a service by interaction between two types of intelligent network devices, a service switching point (SSP) and a service control point (SCP). When these devices are analyzed from a more functional point of view, they have a call control function / service switching function (CCF / SSF) and service control logic in charge of the call exchange connection. Service Control Function (SCF), Service Data Function (SDF) of database function with service profile of subscriber, and SRF (Performance Broadcast, Digit Collection, Speech Synthesis / Voice Recognition) Special Resource Function).

In the present invention, the call control function / service switching function (CCF / SSF) and SRF (Special Resource Function) are mounted in the service switch 100, and the service control function (SCF) and the service data function (SDF) are service control systems ( 101).

The flow of information transmitted and received between intelligent network nodes such as a calling terminal (subscriber), a service switcher 100, and a service control system 101 to change a subscriber profile is as follows.

First, the subscriber inputs a service access code for changing the profile at the calling terminal. The service exchanger 100 receives the request and requests a service from the service control system 101 through the signal channel. From this point on, the control right for the service is in the service control function (SCF) of the service control system 101.

The service control system 101 requests additional information to the SRF of the service switcher 100, and the SRF requests a subscriber number and a password to the subscriber and the announcement broadcast. When the subscriber inputs the corresponding information, the subscriber transmits the information to the service control system 101.

If the passwords match, the subscriber is asked to enter a code indicating the desired type of profile information. When the change information code is input, the subscriber profile is searched for, the current value is extracted, delivered to the subscriber through the announcement, and the new change value is received. In presenting the current value, the SRF may use a speech synthesis technique. After verification of the change value, the subscriber profile is changed, and when the change is completed, the subscriber is notified of the announcement.

2a and 2b are a flow chart according to the present invention.

First, when a profile change request message is received from the service switcher 100 (1), the service control system 101 starts processing. When requesting information for authenticating a subscriber to the service switcher 100 (2) and receiving a subscriber identification information message containing the subscriber numbering password or the like from the service switcher 100 (3), the password in the subscriber profile (4) compare the password values with each other (5).

If the passwords do not coincide with each other, the system compares whether a threshold for attempting to re-enter the password is reached (6) and if it does not exceed the retry limit, requests for information for authenticating the subscriber (2). Transition is to try again, and if the retry limit is exceeded, the message is sent to the service switcher 100 to reject the service (7) and ends.

If the passwords match, the service switchboard 100 instructs the broadcaster to collect the type of change information desired by the subscriber and information collection (8). When the change information code inputted from the subscriber is received (9), it is compared whether the input code is in the range of valid values (10). If not, it compares whether the maximum number of retries has been reached (11), and if it does not exceed the retry limit, the process proceeds to the step (8) of sending a change information code request message to the service switcher 100 to retry. If the retry limit is exceeded, the message 12 is sent to the service switcher 100 to reject the service.

If the input code is valid, the subscriber profile value of the code is retrieved (13). The retrieved value is sent to the service switcher 100 to notify the subscriber, to check the existing value and to enter a new value (14). When a new change value is received (15), a grammatical check and range check are performed (16) to see if the change value is valid (17), and if it is not valid to determine whether a retry is possible (17). If the retry limit is not exceeded, the process proceeds to step 14 of transmitting the current information guide and change request message to the service switcher 100, and if the retry limit is exceeded, the service switcher 100 returns to the service switcher 100. A message is sent (18) to the announcement to reject the service and ends.

If the change value is valid, the subscriber profile is modified (19), a message is sent to the service switcher (SSP) 20 to notify the subscriber of the result of the modification, and the process ends.

As described above, the present invention can change a subscriber profile as easily as using a communication service using a general telephone, and enable / disable service options, change a password freely, and apply the billing service. It is possible to change the method easily, apply it to change its location for the provision of personal communication, and directly control the service by the subscriber in various intelligent network services to improve the subscriber's satisfaction and change by the service manager. There is an effect that can reduce the waste of manpower generated in the city.
