The service controller 101 is connected to the service exchanger 105 and the next generation intelligent information providing system 106 through the signal network 104, and the service management system 102 and the service data system (via the data network or the internal connection network). 103).

In addition, the service controller 101 may have the same type of service logic program or data in multiple service controllers in order to improve the reliability of the intelligent network service or to share the load among other service controllers.

Functionally, it may optionally include a service control function and a service data function.

The service management system 102 is a management system supporting a service controller and manages data of subscribers necessary for service control.

The service management system 102 may be used to centrally manage the service related database of the service controller 101, and may be connected to all network elements of the intelligent network to manage the entire intelligent network.

The service data system 103 includes subscriber and network data necessary for performing an intelligent network service. This data may be accessed directly by the service controller, service management system, or other service data system, or indirectly through the signaling network 104.

The signal network 104 uses the No. 7 common line signaling method recommended by the Telecommunication Standardization Sector for International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) and the service controller 101, the service switcher 105, and the service controller 101. A protocol for supporting interaction between network elements such as next-generation intelligent information providing system 106 and the like.

The service exchanger 105 has a function of allowing a user to access a network, detecting an intelligent network service, communicating with other network elements of the intelligent network, and responding to a received command.

The local exchange 107 accepts the subscriber 108 with a conventional existing switching system that is not equipped with intelligent network functionality.

2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a test environment for a next generation intelligent information providing system using a simulator to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in the figure, the next-generation next-generation intelligent information providing system test environment configuration apparatus using a simulator to which the present invention is applied is connected to the general telephone 201 through the adapter 202 to accommodate the subscriber, the service switch and It is configured as a simulator 203 in a personal computer to perform the role of a service controller.

The next generation intelligent information providing system 205 and the LAN route switch (LAN Route / Switch) 204 are configured to process messages with each other.

The adapter 202 can accommodate up to 30 subscribers, and the subscriber board (MSI / 160SC) installs two boards capable of connecting 16 subscribers.

In addition, a single E1 trunk line board (D300SC / E1) is used to establish a call with a next-generation intelligent information providing system, and a network card (LAN B'd) is installed to transmit and receive a signal with the simulator 203.

The next generation intelligent information providing system 205 connects to the simulator 203 via the LAN route / switch 204.

3 is an explanatory diagram of a call monitoring method in a simulator according to the present invention.

As shown in the drawings, the realization of the call monitoring method in the simulator according to the present invention requires systems configuring an intelligent network such as a service exchanger and a service controller in order to confirm the function of the next generation intelligent information providing system.

In addition, to verify the development function of the next generation intelligent information providing system, the service exchanger and the service controller need a pre-prepared procedure to verify each function.

And a station adapter 302 for receiving a telephone terminal and a terminal for generating and testing the actual call. The simulator is implemented as a service switchboard simulator and a service control system simulator in an industrial computer (303).

In order to transmit / receive the packet with the next-generation intelligent information providing system 304 using the TCP protocol, the LAN route / switch 305 is used to transmit and receive the packet at a speed of 10 Mbps.

A matching block for sending and receiving packets is provided between the simulator and the next-generation intelligent information providing system.

The present invention implements such a verification procedure in a simulator and tracks the flow of calls using the simulator, so that the next generation intelligent information providing system can be inspected more effectively.

The monitoring screen of the simulator is driven and each node corresponding to the intelligent network element is displayed on the monitor screen (301). When an intelligent network call is detected in the simulator, the operation of transmitting and receiving an operation shows the process of the call progressing with arrows between the corresponding nodes on the monitor screen in real time.

That is, when an intelligent network call is generated, SAC (Service Access Code) + UPT # (Universal Personal Telecommunications Number) is displayed from the user node to the SSP node, and an arrow indicates that the call is detected.

In addition, the SSP simulator sends an initial detection signal to the SCP simulator and indicates that a call is in progress to the SCP simulator. Since the operation proceeds to another node in the simulator, the flow of the call is displayed at the sending node (SSP side).

As described above, the operation of transmitting and receiving in the simulator indicates the flow of the call at the transmitting side, and the operation received from the next generation intelligent information providing system indicates the flow of the call at the receiving side, that is, the SSP node and the SCP node.

This is because the simulator and the next-generation intelligent information providing system are different systems and the call flow cannot be displayed in the next-generation intelligent information providing system.

On the other hand, the present invention displays the flow of the call in real time at the receiving node of the simulator to grasp the progress of the call, it is possible to visually easily recognize when a problem occurs can effectively diagnose the failure.

As shown in the figure, the call monitoring method in the simulator according to the present invention, when driving the monitoring screen in the simulator, displays each node corresponding to the intelligent network elements on the monitor screen, and waits until the intelligent network call occurs (401) .

In operation 402, it is determined whether the operation is transmitted to the other node in the simulator, and when the operation is transmitted to the other node in the simulator, after indicating the call flow to the sending node (403), it is determined whether the operation is transmitted to the other node in the simulator. Repeat from step 402.

As a result of the determination, if the operation is received from another node in the simulator, it is determined whether it is received from the IP (404).

As a result of the determination, if received from the IP, the call simulator displays the call flow from the IP to the receiving node, and then repeats the process of determining whether the operation is transmitted to another node in the simulator (402).

As described in detail above, the call monitoring method in the simulator of the present invention may perform detailed tests on development functions using the simulator in confirming and verifying the functions of the next generation intelligent information providing system.

In addition, to develop a next-generation intelligent information providing system and verify its function, the simulator includes a part corresponding to other network elements constituting the intelligent network, and displays the process of transmitting and receiving operations between different network elements on the monitor screen of the simulator. By tracking the progress of the call, you can effectively test the next generation of intelligent information delivery systems.
