BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to mobile communication systems, and more particularly, to a holiday management method for simultaneously managing a solar and lunar holiday.

As the modern society develops, the telecommunications industry is also rapidly developing, and the telecommunications industry is exponentially increasing the use of personal communication by individuals. As the communication industry develops rapidly and the use of communication increases, traffic problems occur. Thus, service providers performing communication services generally use less traffic in communication services, that is, use of communication services in order to distribute traffic. If there is less traffic such as less holiday or night, discount is offered. By discounting these low-traffic traffic distributions, Daylight and Weekday traffic can be distributed to prevent overloading of the telecommunications system, while also encouraging the use of telecommunications services with the least traffic. Try to acquire.

As such, the discount should be taken into account when calculating the subscriber's rate by performing a discount on the communication service according to the traffic volume. The subscriber fee settlement is performed by analyzing the call records of the corresponding subscribers at the computing center of each communication service provider, and the discount of the corresponding call is also made at the time of analyzing the call records. However, if real-time billing for calls such as payphones or Advice Of Charging (AOC) services is required, there is a need to manage billing for the call directly at the exchange rather than at the operator's computer center. Here, the AOC service is a service that transmits the charging information of the call to the subscriber station whenever the periodic or the end of the call to output the charging information for the call from the subscriber station.

Therefore, the exchange manages holiday data such as nighttime (normally 22: 00-06: 00) and Sundays and national holidays, which are discounted traffic hours with low traffic, and at the beginning of each year or when the billing policy of the corresponding carrier is changed, the discounted time zone And the work to update the holiday data is made. In addition, there is a need to query the discount-related information (discount time and holiday data) to verify the function of the AOC service in operation or to check the malfunction of the public telephone.

By the way, in general, most communication systems such as wired communication systems and exchanges of mobile communication systems are developed and used in Western countries, and are generally used in the Lunar holidays (Day Lunar New Year in Korea). ), Chuseok (August 15, etc.) are not being considered at all. Therefore, the operator (operator) has a problem that the cumbersome holiday management work by newly registering or modifying holiday data with a list of the lunar holiday converted to the lunar calendar at the beginning of each year. In addition, the exchange operator directly converts the lunar holiday into the lunar calendar and directly inputs the lunar holiday, thereby causing inconvenience of the operator's operation of the exchange, and also causing the error of holiday data due to the manual input.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for simultaneously managing a solar and lunar holiday in a mobile communication system.

Holiday registration method of the present invention for achieving the above object; A process of analyzing a holiday type to be registered in an input holiday registration command; if the holiday type to be registered is a lunar calendar, writing a corresponding month day and holiday class in a holiday table; and corresponding month day and holiday class of the lunar holiday And then converting the lunar holiday to the lunar holiday, and registering the holiday by writing the corresponding month day and holiday grade on the holiday table.

Holiday inquiry method of the present invention for achieving the above object; The lunar holiday is converted into the lunar holiday recording area in which the corresponding month day of the holiday is recorded, the lunar holiday rating area if the corresponding holiday class of the holiday is the lunar calendar, the lunar holiday rating area if the solar calendar is the lunar calendar. In the case of a holiday management method in a mobile communication system having a holiday table having a holiday rating area structure that is classified and recorded in the lunar-solar conversion holiday rating area, the holiday type to be inquired by an input holiday inquiry command is analyzed. And outputting all holiday data having a value whose grade is greater than 0 in the lunar holiday grade region when the holiday type to be queried is the lunar calendar; and converting the lunar calendar of the lunar calendar to the holiday type to be queried. In case of the lunar-solar conversion holiday grading area has a value whose rating exceeds 0 And outputting all holiday data.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that in the following description, only parts necessary for understanding the operation according to the present invention will be described, and descriptions of other parts will be omitted so as not to distract from the gist of the present invention.

2 is a diagram illustrating a holiday table structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the holiday table is stored in an operation database (ODB) managed by the operation and maintenance processor 109 of the mobile switch 100 described in FIG. 1. Thus, when the operation and maintenance processor 109 receives a control command related to holiday data management, for example, a holiday registration command and a holiday inquiry command, from the operator terminal, the operation and maintenance processor 109 accesses the operation database to receive a holiday. Manage your data.

As shown in FIG. 2, the holiday table in which the holiday data is stored includes a month day (MMDD) recording area for inputting a corresponding month day of a holiday, and a holiday class indicating a holiday class (DAY CLASS) of the holiday. It is composed of areas. In addition, the remarks area shown in FIG. 2 is provided for convenience of explanation, and in fact, even if only the month day recording area and the holiday grade area exist, there is no effect in performing the embodiment of the present invention.

Here, the month day recording area indicates the actual month day of holiday data to be managed in the holiday table. As an example, January 1 of the lunar calendar is January 24 by the actual lunar calendar, and the month-day data of these actual holidays is written to the month-day recording area. The holiday rating area indicates a holiday rating of a holiday written in the month day recording area. In this case, the holiday class is provided to impose a different discount rate on a holiday on a specific month even if it is a public holiday. For example, by setting the holiday grade of the Lunar New Year higher than the Lunar New Year, a higher discount rate is imposed on the call service occurring on the holiday having the high holiday grade. The holiday grade recording area is further classified into an "S (Solar)" parameter area, an "L (Lunar)" parameter area, and an "L '(Lunar')" parameter area. The holiday grade is written when the holiday is a lunar holiday, and the holiday grade is written when the holiday is a lunar holiday, and the area is the holiday. On this lunar holiday, the holiday rating of the lunar date, which is converted from the lunar holiday to the solar calendar, is written. Here, the holiday grade written in the "L '" area is the same as the first holiday grade of the lunar holiday.

Next, a holiday registration process according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a holiday registration process according to another embodiment of the present invention.

First, the holiday registration process includes control commands input from an operator terminal in the operation and maintenance processor 109 of the mobile switch 100 described in FIG. 1, for example, a holiday management mode switch command, a holiday registration command, and the like. The holiday data, which is performed in response to receiving the instructions, is input to an operation database (ODB) managed by the operation and maintenance processor 109.

Referring to FIG. 3, in operation 311, the operation and maintenance processor 109 detects a holiday management mode switch request, that is, a holiday management mode switch command from an operator terminal, and proceeds to step 313. In step 313, the operation and maintenance processor 109 switches its operation mode to a holiday management mode according to the holiday management mode switch command, and proceeds to step 315. In step 315, the operation and maintenance processor 109 proceeds to step 317 when a holiday registration command is input from the operator terminal. In step 317, the operation and maintenance processor 109 analyzes the holiday registration command to analyze the type of holiday to be registered, and then proceeds to step 319. Here, an example of the holiday registration command is as follows.

2017 SET-DATE-CLS ::::: TS = str, DATE = n, DCLS = n, [TYPE = {LUNAR | SOLAR}];

In the holiday registration command "SET-DATA-CLS", "DATA" represents the month day of the holiday to be actually registered, that is, the month day of the holiday written in the month day recording area of the holiday table, and the DCLS is the holiday to be registered. The holiday grade, i.e., Literal in the holiday grade area of the holiday table, is the holiday grade. In addition, the "TYPE" indicates whether the holiday to be registered is a lunar holiday or a lunar holiday, and when the "TYPE" is displayed as "SOLAR", the lunar holiday is displayed, and the "TYPE" is displayed as "LUNAR" If the lunar holiday is represented.

In operation 319, the operation and maintenance processor 109 analyzes a type of the holiday to be registered, and checks whether the holiday to be registered is lift. If the holiday to be registered is a lift holiday, the operation and maintenance processor 109 proceeds to step 321. In step 321, the operation and maintenance processor 109 writes the corresponding month day commanded by the holiday registration command in the month day recording area of the holiday table, and writes the holiday class order commanded by the holiday registration command into the holiday table. The holiday registration area is written to the "S" parameter area indicating the lift, and the holiday registration is completed.

In operation 319, when the type of holiday to be registered is analyzed and the holiday to be registered is not lift, the operation and maintenance processor 109 proceeds to step 323. In operation 323, the operation and maintenance processor 109 analyzes the type of holiday to be registered and checks whether the holiday to be registered is the lunar calendar. If the holiday to be registered is not the lunar calendar, the operation and maintenance processor 109 proceeds to step 321. In this case, when the holiday registration command does not indicate whether the holiday type to be registered is solar or lunar calendar, the operation and maintenance processor 109 determines the type of holiday to be registered as the solar calendar. As in the case of the type of holiday to be lifted, the process proceeds to step 321.

In operation 323, when the holiday type to be registered is the lunar calendar, the operation and maintenance processor 109 proceeds to operation 325. In step 325, the operation and maintenance processor 109 writes the corresponding month day of the holiday to be registered in the month day recording area of the holiday table, and writes the holiday class command commanded by the holiday registration command in the holiday table. After completing the lunar holiday registration by writing to the "L" parameter area indicating the lunar calendar in the holiday grade area, the flow proceeds to step 327. In step 327, the operation and maintenance processor 109 converts the lunar day of the holiday that has been registered for the lunar calendar to the lunar calendar, writes it to the month-day recording area of the holiday table, and writes the holiday class to the holiday class area of the holiday table. After writing to the "L '" area indicating that the lunar holiday has been converted to the Gregorian calendar, it ends. Here, the holiday class written in the "L '" area is the same class as the holiday class of the lunar holiday commanded by the holiday registration command.

In FIG. 3, the holiday registration process has been described, and the holiday inquiry process will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a holiday inquiry process according to another embodiment of the present invention.

First, the holiday inquiry process is also a control command input from an operator terminal in the operation and maintenance processor 109 of the mobile switch 100 described in FIG. 1, for example, a control such as a holiday management mode switch command and a holiday inquiry command. Holiday data on an operational database (ODB), which is performed upon receipt of instructions and managed by the operations and maintenance processor 109 is displayed.

Referring to FIG. 4, in operation 411, the operation and maintenance processor 109 detects a holiday management mode switch request, that is, a holiday management mode switch command from an operator terminal, in step 413. In operation 413, the operation and maintenance processor 109 switches its operation mode to a holiday management mode according to the holiday management mode switch command, and proceeds to operation 415. In operation 415, the operation and maintenance processor 109 proceeds to operation 417 when a holiday inquiry command is input from the operator terminal. In operation 417, the operation and maintenance processor 109 analyzes the holiday inquiry command, analyzes the type of holiday to be inquired, and proceeds to operation 419. Here, an example of the holiday inquiry command is as follows.

2016 RTRV-DATE-CLS ::::: TS = str, [DATE = n: -1], [DCLS = n: -1], [TYPE = {SOLAR | LUNAR | LUNAR1 | SUM}

In the holiday inquiry command "RTRV-DATE-CLS", "DATA" represents the month day of the holiday to be actually searched, that is, the month day of the holiday written in the month day recording area of the holiday table, and the DCLS is to be searched. The holiday class of the holiday, that is, the holiday class written in the holiday class area of the holiday table. The "TYPE" indicates whether the holiday to be registered is a lunar holiday, a solar holiday, or a lunar holiday converted to the solar calendar. When the "TYPE" is displayed as "SOLAR", the "lunar holiday" is " Lunar holiday when TYPE "is displayed as" LUNAR ", a lunar holiday when lunar holiday is converted to Gregorian holiday when" TYPE "is displayed as" LUNAR1 ", and said solar holiday when" TYPE "is" SUM " And lunar holidays are ordered to look up the holidays converted to the lunar calendar. In addition, when the "TYPE" is not specified separately, as well as when the "TYPE" is designated as the "SUM", both holiday and lunar holiday is converted to the Gregorian holiday.

In operation 419, the operation and maintenance processor 109 analyzes a type of the holiday to be inquired and determines whether the holiday to be inquired is lift. If the holiday to be inquired is a lift holiday, the operation and maintenance processor 109 proceeds to step 421. In step 421, the operation and maintenance processor 109, since the holiday commanded by the holiday inquiry command is a lift holiday, the holiday grade written in the "S" area indicating the lift in the holiday rating area of the holiday table is 0. All holiday data written to a value other than 0, that is, a value exceeding zero, is outputted to be controlled and displayed on the operator terminal.

In operation 419, if the holiday to be registered is not lifted as a result of analyzing the type of holiday to be queried, the operation and maintenance processor 109 proceeds to operation 423. In operation 423, the operation and maintenance processor 109 analyzes the type of holiday to be registered and checks whether the holiday to be registered is the lunar calendar. If the holiday to be registered is the lunar calendar, the operation and maintenance processor 109 proceeds to step 425. In step 425, the operation and maintenance processor 109, since the holiday commanded by the holiday inquiry command is a lunar holiday, the holiday grade written in the "L" area of the holiday grade area of the holiday table is 0. All holiday data written to a value other than 0, that is, a value exceeding zero, is outputted to be controlled and displayed on the operator terminal.

In operation 423, if the type of holiday to be inquired is not the lunar calendar, the operation and maintenance processor 109 proceeds to operation 427. In operation 427, the operation and maintenance processor 109 checks whether the type of holiday to be queried is a case where the lunar holiday is lifted. The operation and maintenance processor 109 proceeds to step 429 when the type of holiday to be inquired is the case in which the lunar holiday is lifted. In operation 429, the operation and maintenance processor 109 indicates that the lunar calendar is converted to the lunar calendar in the holiday class area of the holiday table because the holiday commanded by the holiday inquiry command is a lunar calendar holiday. All holiday data whose holiday grade written in the L '"area is non-zero, that is, a value exceeding zero, is output and controlled to be displayed on the operator terminal.

Lastly, in step 427, if the type of holiday to be queried is not the case in which the lunar calendar is lifted, that is, the type of holiday to be queried is not specified or the type of holiday to be queried is “SUM”. ", The operation and maintenance processor 109 proceeds to step 431. In step 431, the operation and maintenance processor 109 is lifted in the holiday class area of the holiday table because the holiday commanded by the holiday inquiry command is a holiday that is not separately typed or designated as "SUM". "L" "which indicates that all holiday data written in the" S "area indicating the non-zero value, that is, a value exceeding zero, and the lunar holiday in the holiday rating area are lifted. All holiday data whose holiday grades written in the area are written to a non-zero value, that is, a value exceeding zero, is outputted so that the control is displayed on the operator terminal and ends.

In the description of the present invention, a mobile communication system will be described as an example, but the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to any communication system that manages holiday data for discount when charging a communication service.

Meanwhile, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by the equivalents of the claims.

As described above, the present invention can manage not only a solar holiday but also a lunar holiday at the same time in managing holiday data in a mobile communication system. It has the advantage that you can check the information about.                     

In addition, since the mobile communication system can manage not only a lunar holiday but also a lunar holiday, an operator has a list of converting the lunar holiday into the lunar calendar at the beginning of each year and newly registers or revises holiday data to perform a cumbersome holiday. Eliminate the inconvenience of doing administrative work. Thus, the conventional operator eliminates the inconvenience of the operator caused by directly inputting the lunar holiday by manually inputting the lunar holiday, and also has the advantage of eliminating the possibility of causing an error in the holiday data due to the manual input.
