The integrated SMS subscriber information management system 300 receives an event from a customer oriented information system (COIS) 100 that stores information about subscribers such as subscriber's international mobile station identity (IMSI), service management number and service type. A customer data distribution system (CDS) 200 and a plurality of short message service servers (SMSS) 400-1, 400-2, which extract and ... ), And stores a plurality of customer information transmitted from the customer information distribution system 200 for each event.

In addition, the integrated SMS subscriber information management system 300 is pre-stored in accordance with the customer information request corresponding to a specific event transmitted from the plurality of short message service server (400-1, 400-2, ...) The customer information corresponding to the specific event is extracted from the short message service server 400-1, 400-2, ... and transmitted.

The integrated SMS subscriber information management system 300 is preferably configured as a pair of integrated SMS subscriber information management servers, each of which is divided into an activated state and an activated state and an inactive state, respectively.

When an error occurs in any one of the pair of integrated SMS subscriber information management servers, a method of handling failures between the integrated SMS subscriber information management servers is as follows.

First, when an error occurs in any one of a pair of integrated SMS subscriber information management servers, for example, when all of a pair of integrated SMS subscription information management servers are activated, the first integrated SMS subscriber information management server where an error occurs. The second unified SMS subscriber information management server delivers the customer information that could not be handled together with the failure notification signal to be processed together.

Secondly, for example, when a pair of integrated SMS subscriber information management servers operate in an active state and in an inactive state, for example, when an abnormality occurs in the activated integrated SMS subscriber information management server, the first integration that has an abnormality occurs. The SMS subscriber information management server transmits a failure notification signal to the second integrated SMS subscriber information management server in an inactive state to switch to an active state, and delivers customer information that has not been processed and processes them together.

After an abnormality occurs in the first integrated SMS subscriber information management server, the second integrated SMS subscriber information management server accepts the IP address of the first integrated SMS subscriber information management server in which the abnormality has occurred, and thus the customer information distribution system (CDS) 200. It also receives and processes the customer information assigned to the first integrated SMS subscriber information management server transmitted from the server.

2 is a diagram showing in detail the configuration of the integrated SMS subscriber information management system according to the present invention, which will be described with reference to FIG. 3 for explaining an example of storing customer information.

As shown, the integrated SMS subscriber information management system 300 is connected to a pair of integrated SMS subscriber information management servers 300-1 and 300-2, respectively, and stores a database 390 for storing subscriber information and log information. Include.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the reference numerals will be 300, 310, 330, 350, and 370 without dividing the reference numbers into respective servers.

First, the operation monitoring unit 310 monitors in real time whether the operation of the integrated SMS subscriber information management server 300 is normally performed.

The customer information management unit 330 receives the customer information for each event transmitted from the customer information distribution system (CDS) 200 and stores it in the information storage unit 350, and the short message service server (SMSS) 400-1, 400-2, ...) receives a request for customer information corresponding to a specific event and provides the corresponding customer information from the information storage unit 350.

As shown in FIG. 3, the information storage unit 350 stores customer information for each event, and includes a specific event (for example, an A event) and a mobile identification number (MIN) of the customer associated with the event. (For example, 011-123-0000, 011-123-0001, 011-123-0002, 011-123-0003).

When an error occurs during the operation state monitoring by the operation monitoring unit 310, the error processing unit 370 transmits a failure notification signal to other integrated SMS subscriber information servers connected to the same group, thereby providing customer information of the corresponding server having an error. Also handle together.

For example, when an error occurs in the first integrated SMS subscriber information management server of reference number 300-1, the first integrated SMS subscriber information management server refers to the customer information that the customer information management unit 330-1 did not process. Transmission to the second integrated SMS subscriber information management server 300-2, such that the customer information management unit 330-2 of the second integrated SMS subscriber information management server 300-2 processes them all.
