Description

V5.2 Charging information management device in electronic exchange

The present invention relates to an electronic switchboard, and in particular, a V5. 2 The V5.2 billing information management system in an electronic switchboard that enables independent and efficient management of subscriber billing information.

Currently, electronic exchanges are used for local and local / tandom applications. Ultimately, electronic exchanges have been developed to develop into flexible exchanges in various networks such as integrated information and communication networks (ISDN) and intelligent networks. .

And, as is well known in the art, the V5.2 interface is the signaling protocol between the access network (AN) and the exchange recommended in European Telecommunication Standards (ETS) 300 and 347-1. . Here, the access network is a communication network capable of accepting analog and digital subscribers and communicating with an exchange for a V5.2 interface, and the exchange is an exchange capable of accepting subscribers by interfacing with an access network through a V5.2 interface.

On the other hand, the service of the public switched network (PSTN) or ISDN (Intergrated Service Digital Network) subscriber using the conventional electronic switchboard was only available to the subscribers who are directly connected by physical circuits to a predetermined subscriber interface device inside the switchboard.

In addition, in order to accommodate subscribers remote from the electronic switchgear, the call processing was performed by placing a sub-system equipped with both the existing electronic switchgear and software or hardware resources at a long distance. Accordingly, this sub-system has a disadvantage in that the price is high because it must have all the hardware or software resources of the existing electronic switchboard. In addition, this sub-system cannot handle processing of subscriber information, and is actually controlled by an electronic switch.

Therefore, recently, as mentioned above, it does not have the hardware or software resources of the electronic switchboard, and has an access network that transmits analog line status information to the electronic switchboard on the V5.2 interface without controlling direct call processing. This not only reduces system cost but also facilitates overall call control of all electronic switchboards.

However, it is very inefficient to manage the billing data using one billing device for each billing data generated by the general subscriber and the V5.2 subscriber, respectively, in the all-electronic exchange that accommodates the V5.2 interface. In addition, when the call data is generated every time the call management process is executed, there is a problem that causes a waste of resources.

Accordingly, the present invention was created in view of the above circumstances, and is provided with a separate device for managing billing information for a V5.2 subscriber in an electronic switchgear that accommodates a V5.2 interface. In contrast, the aim is to provide a V5.2 billing information management device in an electronic switch that enables independent and efficient management of V5.2 subscriber billing information.

A V5.2 status information management device having a matching unit; A system control unit which interfaces with an operator and controls the entire system of the electronic switching system, a call control unit which controls and performs a series of call operations for the subscriber at the start / end of the call of the subscriber matched to the subscriber matching unit, the call control unit V5.2 status information management unit for storing and managing the V5.2 subscriber status information input through the V5.2 billing management unit for storing and managing V5.2 subscriber billing information, the V5.2 billing management unit When a predetermined billing information management request signal is input from the system controller, the V5.2 status manager requests billing related status data, and then stores and manages V5.2 billing information based on the billing related status data received. It features.

Therefore, according to the above, it is possible to manage the charging information for the V5.2 subscriber existing in the electronic switchboard by using a separate charging information management device can be very efficient management.

Next, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described.

In the drawing, reference numeral 10 denotes a call control unit for performing overall call control for a public switched network or an ISDN subscriber that is interfaced with a V5.2. The call control unit 10 generates the state data for the V5.2 subscriber. It will be transmitted to the V5.2 state management unit 13 to be described later, 11 is a call control message for providing an appropriate communication path between the V5.2 interface 12 and the call control unit 10 to be described later As the processing unit, the call control message processing unit 11 transmits, to the call control unit 10, the result of determining whether the call control message is suitable for the predetermined call control message input from the V5.2 interface unit 12, and the call control unit 10 The control message according to the allocation or cancellation of the system resources input from the output to the V5.2 interface unit 12.

Also, reference numeral 12 is a V5.2 interface unit that enables the V5.2 interface of the remote subscriber unit and the electronic switch, which will be described later, using the V5.2 interface protocol, and 13 is a V5.2 link or subscriber. V5.2 status management unit for managing the status information for, V5.2 billing management unit for managing the charging information for the V5.2 link or subscriber, 15 is billing information transmitted to this billing management unit (14) Charging recorder for recording the 16, is a system control unit for performing the overall control of the electronic switching system.

Reference numeral 20 is a V5.2 interface unit of a remote subscriber unit for interfacing the V5.2 interface unit 12 with a V5.2 interface protocol, and 21 is a public switched network or ISDN subscriber connected directly to a physical circuit. As a remote subscriber matching unit for matching the data, the remote subscriber matching unit 21 receives a signal corresponding to a predetermined signal (for example, an off-hook signal) in response to a change in the subscriber state from the subscriber. The subscriber's state is adjusted based on a control message for the subscriber's state output to the interface unit 20 or input through the V5.2 interface unit 20. Here, the remote subscriber matching unit 21 may simultaneously control access to an analog subscriber, a basic rate interface (BRI), a primary rate interface (PRI), an analog relay line, a digital relay line, and a remote switching device.

Next, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to the operation flowchart of FIG. 2.

In the normal state, the call controller 10 transmits the subscriber state data to the V5.2 state manager 14 when the subscriber state data is received from the call control message processor 11, and the call controller 10 transmits the call to the V5.2 subscriber. When the call start or end call data for the generated is transmitted to the V5.2 state management unit 13 (ST1, ST2 step).

At this time, the V5.2 state management unit 14 first determines whether the subscriber state data input from the call control unit 10 is valid data, and if the state data is not valid data, a predetermined error message is sent to the call control unit 10. If the status data is valid data, the input status data is recorded (step ST3).

In addition, the V5.2 state management unit 14 compares whether the subscriber state data received from the call control unit 10 and the existing subscriber state data of the corresponding subscriber held in its database match the data. The V5.2 state management unit 14 outputs a predetermined result signal to each call control unit 10 when the two state data is matched, and the received state data when the two state data compared with each other do not match. The subscriber's status memory area is changed (ST4 step).

On the other hand, when the recording request of the billing-related data is input by the operator, the system controller 16 outputs the billing-related status data request signal to the V5.2 billing management unit 14 (step ST5). The V5.2 charging manager 14 transmits the request signal input from the system controller 16 to the V5.2 status manager 13 (step ST6). When the V5.2 status management unit 13 receives the request signal for the billing related status data from the V5.2 billing manager 14, the V5.2 status manager 13 extracts the billing related status data from the subscriber status data recorded in its database. The V5.2 is output to the billing management unit 14.

Subsequently, the V5.2 charging manager 14 receiving the charging-related data from the V5.2 status manager 13 changes the charging data into an appropriate charging format and outputs it to the charging recorder 15 (step ST7). Then, the charging recorder 17 records the charging data received from the charging manager 14 (step ST8).

Therefore, according to the above, it is possible to manage the charging information for the V5.2 subscriber existing in the electronic switchboard by using a separate charging information management device can be very efficient management.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said Example, It can variously deform and implement within the range which does not deviate from the technical summary.
