The RAM 502 temporarily stores data generated during program execution of the controller 500. The RAM 502 according to the present embodiment may include a division reference database and a user database. The segmentation reference database stores at least one segmentation criterion of regional segmentation or time zone segmentation for each intelligent network telephone number in order to sell the same intelligent network telephone number to a plurality of users. Typically, one intelligent telephone number is sold to one customer. However, even if a subscriber purchases a national telephone number, it is generally operated in each region. In addition, the intelligent network phone numbers used by the surrogate operation companies are generally used only at night, there is a problem that the number resources are wasted during the day time. Therefore, instead of selling each intelligent network phone number to only one customer, it can be divided by region and sold to customers by each region, or by time zone and sold to surrogate driver at night time and used by courier during day time. can do. Therefore, the division criteria database stores the criteria of whether to sell each intelligent network telephone number by time zone or by dividing by region.

In addition, the user database stores call center telephone numbers of users for each intelligent network telephone number actually sold to a plurality of users according to the division criteria.

The caller information extractor 509 extracts caller information extracted from the ringer received from the CO line when the call is received by the caller, including the caller's call time, caller's number, and caller's number. The division criteria corresponding to the telephone number are read from the division criteria database. In addition, when the read-out division criteria are regional divisions, the sender information is transmitted to a location-based service server (LBSS), and a location-based service server (LBSS) 510 is provided through a location-based service server (LBSS) 510. If the received region is time division, send the sender information to the controller.

Location-Based Service Server (LBSS) 510 obtains the location information of the mobile phone from the Location-Based Service Platform (LBSP) of the mobile switching center by using the caller information received from the caller information extractor 509, and obtains the location information. The data is processed into text and sent to the controller. The LBSP 44 searches for the base station DB, generates a location lookup result message, and transmits it to the LBSS 510 using the tcp protocol.

In one state, the telephone number is transmitted to the DTMF transmitter 505. That is, the controller 500 divides the area based on the location information received from the LBSS, and then calls the user's database with the call center phone number of the user (subscriber) who is allowed to use the called phone number (intelligent network phone number) at the current time zone of the area. Is read from, and the telephone number is transmitted to the DTMF transmitter 505.

The switch 503 switches various signals under the control of the controller 500. The trunk line matching unit 504 is connected to the switch, and under the control of the controller 500, the trunk line CO forms a trunk line call loop, and interfaces a signal between the trunk line CO and the switch 503. Here, the CO line refers to a line connecting the CO line matching unit 504 and the national exchange. The DTMF transmitter 505 is connected to the switch 503 and converts the digital data output from the controller 500 into a DTMF signal and outputs it to the switch 503. Here, the DTMF signal output from the DTMF transmitter 505 becomes the telephone number of the call center read out. The DTMF receiver 506 analyzes the DTMF signal input from the switch 503, converts the DTMF signal into digital data, and outputs the digital data to the controller 500. Here, the DTMF signal input from the switch 503 to the DTMF receiver 506 becomes a DTMF tone signal received through the trunk line.

The tone generator 507 generates various tone signals under the control of the controller 500 and outputs them to the switch 503.

4 is a diagram illustrating a control procedure of a mobile communication network according to an embodiment. The following algorithm is assumed to be performed by the switching center 43 among the unit systems constituting the mobile communication network 2. Referring to FIG. 4, first, the switching center 43 checks whether a call is received from the mobile telephone 40 in step 601. If a call is received from the mobile telephone 40, the switching center 43 analyzes the called number in step 603, otherwise continues waiting for the call to be received. After analyzing the called number, the switching center 43 checks whether the called number is an intelligent network telephone number (080-XXX-YYYY, 15XX-YYYY) in step 605. If the called number is not the intelligent network telephone number, the switching center 43 proceeds to step 609 to perform general call processing. If the called number is an intelligent network telephone number, the switch center 43 routes the call of the mobile telephone with the ring signal, the calling number and the called number to the corresponding backbone network according to the rules already established in the back office in step 607. Construct a furnace. At this time, the intelligent network switch of the telecommunication service provider receiving the call of the mobile telephone 40 uses the local and long distance telephone network to call the mobile telephone 40 according to the routing information (general telephone number dependent on the intelligent network telephone number). It consists of subscribers to route to the intelligent network telephone processing unit 45 having the called number.

Here, when the intelligent network telephone processing device is directly connected to the mobile communication network 2, referring to FIG. 4, first, the switching center 43 checks whether a call is received from the mobile telephone 40 in step 601. If a call is received from the mobile telephone 40, the switching center 43 analyzes the called number in step 603, and continues waiting for the call. After analyzing the called number, the switching center 43 checks whether the called number is an intelligent network telephone number (080-XXX-YYYY, 15XX-YYYY) in step 605. If the called number is not the intelligent network telephone number, the switching center 43 proceeds to step 609 to perform general call processing. If the called number is the intelligent network telephone number, the switching center 43 uses the subscriber processing unit 43-1 in step 607 to call the mobile telephone together with the ring signal, the calling number, and the called number. After routing to one intelligent network telephone processing unit 45 constitutes a call path.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a control procedure of an intelligent network telephone processing apparatus according to an embodiment. Referring to FIG. 5, the caller information extractor 509 extracts caller information of the mobile telephone from the ring signal when receiving a call of the mobile telephone (step 701). Calling party information may include the calling time, the calling telephone number, the called telephone number. At this time, the call is a call of the mobile telephone which is sent by the intelligent network telephone. The caller information is received with the ring signal in the same way as the Caller ID. The caller information extractor 509 extracts the caller's telephone number (caller number or caller information) that is received during the rest period of the ring signal.

Next, the caller information extractor 509 reads out a segmentation criterion corresponding to the called phone number (intelligent network telephone number) among the caller information from the segmentation reference database to determine whether the segmentation criteria are region segmentation or time segmentation (step 703). As a result, if the intelligent network telephone number is divided into regions and sold to a plurality of users, the caller information is transmitted to the LBSS, and the LBSS accesses the LBSP (Location-Based Service Platform) of the mobile switching center with the caller information. Obtain location information of the phone (step 704). That is, the LBSS 510 requests the location inquiry of the mobile phone by accessing the LBSP with a separate data line with caller information. Then, the LBSP searches the base station DB, generates a location data inquiry result message, and transmits the message to the LBSS 510 using the tcp protocol. Thereafter, the LBSS 510 processes the received location information of the mobile phone into text data, and transmits it to the controller 500 in the http / post protocol.

Then, the controller 500 uses the intelligent network telephone number (called number) in the area jurisdiction of the location based on the location information of the mobile phone transmitted through the LBSS 510 in the case of the regional division. The call center telephone number of the user (subscriber) corresponding to the current time is read from the user database among plural or singular regional users (subscribers) (step 705).

Next, a hookoff process is performed on the call of the mobile telephone to form a call path with the mobile telephone (step 707). At this time, by connecting the call of the mobile phone to the answering machine 508 may send a guide message to connect to the call center. After transmitting the guide message, the controller 500 may check whether a tone signal DTMF signal according to a user's selection is received. This is detected through the DTMF receiver 506. If the tone signal is not received, the controller 500 performs an automatic call to the read call center telephone number of the user (step 711). That is, the CO line matching unit 504 controls the CO line, and controls the DTMF transmitter 505 to transmit the DTMF signal for the telephone number through the CO line.

Then, the controller 500 controls the answering machine 508 to send a connection waiting sound to the mobile telephone (step 713), and checks whether a response (hookoff signal) is received from the call center (step 715).

Then, when a response is received in step 715, the controller 500 may connect the call associated with the call center to the answering machine 508 to send a guidance message, for example, indicating that the customer is an order call from a customer. Thereafter, the controller 500 may connect the call of the mobile telephone to the answering machine 508 and send a guide message indicating that the connection is established. The controller 500 connects the call of the mobile telephone to the call center to form a call path between the mobile telephone and the call center (step 717).

Then, after establishing the call path, the controller 500 checks whether the call is terminated by ending the call of the mobile phone or ending the call (hook-on) of the call center (step 719). If the call termination is detected, the controller 500 releases the call path and terminates (step 721).

On the other hand, if no response is received in step 715, the controller 500 checks whether the set time has elapsed (step 723). If the set time has elapsed, the controller 500 connects the call of the mobile telephone to the answering machine 508 and sends a guide message (step 725). The message here says, "Sorry I can't connect. Please try again. ' If the set time has not elapsed in step 723, the controller 500 returns to step 713 to continuously transmit a connection waiting sound. After performing an automatic call to the call center, if a response is not received from the call center for a set time, a guide message for notifying the connection termination can be sent to the mobile phone.

According to an additional aspect, the accounting calculator 511 may calculate user billing according to a user's billing calculation criteria stored in a billing reference database at regular intervals, and transmit the billing information to the user terminal. The user's terminal may be a mobile terminal such as a user's PC, a smartphone, or the like. The calculated billing information may be transmitted to the user terminal in the form of an email or a text message, which is a mail transmission method or an electronic transmission method. According to the present embodiment, it is possible to divide a customer for the same intelligent network telephone number by enabling a plurality of customers for each region and a time zone for the same single intelligent network telephone number and calculating billing according to the usage amount.
