It is determined whether it corresponds to the origination information collection service target terminal (step S302).

The home location registerer 510 of the called party generates a routing request message and transmits it to the destination exchange 300 in order to obtain routing information about the called terminal 110 (step S304). Here, the routing request message may include the determination result information that the called terminal is an information collecting service target terminal.

The destination exchange 200 receiving the incoming routing request from the called party home location register 510 generates a routing request return result (Rtr RR) message in response to the incoming routing request. Transfer to location register 500 (step S306). The routing request reply result message includes location information of the destination terminal 110 managed by the destination exchange 300.

The location information of the called terminal 110 is configured to include an exchanger identification number (MSCID) and a region identification information (LAID) like the location information of the calling terminal 100 described with reference to FIG.

The called home location register 510 extracts current location information of the called terminal 110 from the routing request response message received from the called exchange 300 to identify management information of the called terminal 110 and the originating terminal 100. In association with the number is stored as the call-related information of the called terminal 110 (step S308). When the determination result is not included in the routing request message, if the destination terminal 110 does not correspond to the destination information collection service target terminal according to the present invention using the determination result in step S308, the storing process of the reception related information is omitted. And follow the normal incoming call procedure.

The called party's home location register 510 generates a location information request return result message in response to the location information request message and transmits it to the originating exchange (step S310). And the reception related information (that is, the current location information and management information of the called terminal 110, the identification number of the calling terminal 110, the incoming call occurrence time, etc.) of the stored called terminal 110 according to the present invention. The transmission information is transmitted to the management system 510 (step S312). At this time, the called party's home location register 510 and the incoming / outgoing information management system 550 may exchange data through a general transmission method such as a TCP / IP communication method. Accordingly, the incoming and outgoing information management system 550 may receive and collect incoming related information such as the location information of the called terminal 110 obtained in the call processing process without being allocated a separate communication resource in the mobile communication network and integrate and manage it. Will be.

4 is a diagram illustrating a process of transferring information of originating and terminating terminals collected by an incoming and outgoing information management system to a mobile service network manager to a service requester registered in pre-registered management information.
