Abstract

As the status of the conventional statistical information is output as text, the operator cannot easily compare and analyze the information. Therefore, there is a problem that it takes a long time to visually identify and analyze the system. Therefore, when the graphic output request of the statistical information status is authorized from the operator, the present invention receives a condition of the statistical information status graphic to be output from the operator, requests a statistical information status graphic message to the exchange according to the input condition, and responds to the request. This paper implements a statistical information status graphic output method of the exchange which outputs the received statistical information status graphic message through a monitor. As a result, the operator can quickly and easily analyze various statistical information, thereby shortening the processing time and easily processing the work.

Description

Graphical display of statistical information status of exchange

The present invention relates to a method of outputting a statistical information state of an exchange, and more particularly, to a method of graphically outputting the statistical information state of an exchange.

In general, the exchange has a function of collecting the statistical information and outputting the status of the collected statistical information to inform the operator. Therefore, the operator of the exchange can easily understand the comparative analysis and the statistics state according to various types of statistics through the state of the statistical information output by the exchange.

Hereinafter, the configuration for outputting the statistical information status of the conventional exchange is as shown in FIG. 1, and an example of a report in which the statistical information status is output through the configuration shown in FIG. 1 is illustrated in FIG. 2. As shown.

Referring to FIG. 1, a module necessary for outputting statistical information status of an exchange includes a software module 102 (hereinafter referred to as "MSDP") and corresponding information for collecting and managing statistical information status data. It consists of a software module 104 (hereinafter referred to as "MC") that outputs to the actual operator.

Conventionally, the method of outputting the statistical information state with the above configuration collects the fault-related information in the MSDP 102 and converts it into a text format. On the other hand, the MSDP 102 provides the statistical information status data converted into the text format at the request of the operator to the MC 104 in charge of the input / output terminal function of the exchange. The MC 104 outputs the provided statistical information status data in a text format by an output message description (OMD). An example of a report outputting the statistical information state output from the MC 104 at the request of an operator is as shown in FIG. 2.

However, it is difficult for the operator to compare and analyze the exact figures of statistics and various items through the reports output in the above-described process, and the information is output through the output device as text, so that the information is output in a short time. Out of range, it is difficult for the operator to correctly recognize the information.

As described above, there is a problem in that it takes a long time for the operator to visually identify and analyze the system because the statistical information is output as text and thus the operator cannot easily compare and analyze the information.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a method for graphically outputting the statistical information status through a personal computer so that an operator can visually easily identify the statistical information status.

According to the present invention for achieving the above object, when a graphic output request of a statistical information status is authorized from an operator, a condition of a statistical information status graphic to be output is received from the operator and a statistical information status graphic message is requested to the exchange by the input condition. A method for outputting a statistical information status graphic of an exchange for graphically outputting a statistical information status graphic message received in response to the request is provided.

In describing the present invention, when it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The configuration of the software module for graphically outputting the status of the statistical information of the exchange according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 3, the MSDP 102 collects and manages statistical information state data, the MC 104 outputs the corresponding information to an actual operator, and generates a new protocol to generate the corresponding statistical information and processor load state. An interface software module (hereinafter referred to as " GRF ") capable of producing output graphics and a personal computer for requesting statistical information status from the MC 104 or graphically outputting statistical information status provided from the MC 104; It consists of a software module (hereinafter referred to as "GM").

The control flow for graphically outputting the statistical information status that is requested or received by the personal computer 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 4. Referring to FIG. 4, when the graphic output request of the statistical information status is applied from the operator in the operating system mode, the driver operates GM, which is a statistical information status graphic output software module, and opens a dialog requesting input of the statistical information status condition. And transmitting a message requesting statistical information status according to the input condition if a condition is input in response to the dialog window, and receiving the correct statistical information status in response to the message. The process of outputting a statistical information status graphic using the statistical information status.

The call information status request message transmitted from the personal computer 110 to the MC 104 has a configuration as shown in FIG. 5A, and the personal computer 110 in the MC 104 in response to the request message. The call information state to be sent to has a configuration as shown in FIG. 5B. Referring to the configuration of the message shown in FIG. 5A, an item (ITEM) area is an area in which information for selecting a type of statistical information status graphic desired by an operator is recorded. The TYPE area is an area in which information for selecting a statistical information status graphic type desired by an operator is recorded. The index area is an area for recording the statistics information state time desired by the operator. Meanwhile, in the configuration of the message illustrated in FIG. 5B, the transparent area is an area for recording information indicating whether or not the statistical information status graphic is displayed. The graphic type area is an area in which the type of statistical information status graphic to be transmitted is recorded. The data length area is an area for recording the information amount of the statistical information status graphic to be transmitted. The string area is an area where statistical information status graphic information to be actually transmitted is recorded.

Hereinafter, an operation according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the above-described configuration and accompanying drawings. First, as shown in step 410 of FIG. 4, since the operating system is generally performed only in a mode (for example, "Windows 95") that supports the overall operation of the personal computer 110, the operating system mode is set in the following description. Make sure you consider and explain.

The controller (not shown in FIG. 3) of the personal computer 110 periodically checks step 412 of FIG. 4 in the operating system mode to monitor the operator's statistical information status graphic request. Assuming that the personal computer 110 uses the Windows 95 operating system, the statistical information status graphic request means data generated by clicking a shortcut icon on the monitor or entering an execution command. In step 412, if it is detected that the operator requests the statistical information status graph, the controller drives a software module required to output the statistical information status graphic, and proceeds to step 416, in which the operator inputs a condition of the statistical information status graphic to be output. Open a Dialog Box so that you can open it. After opening the chat window, the controller monitors whether an operator inputs a condition through the open chat window in step 418. The controller maintains the standby state until the input of the condition is detected, and proceeds to step 420 when the input of the condition is detected. The input conditions include the load state of the exchange processor CPU, trend of the CPU load state, call-related statistics information, call-related statistics information trend, etc. for each item. Hourly data, daily There is Information (Daily Data), Monthly Information (Monthly Data). In addition, there are NON ISDN, ISDN CCT, and ISDN PKT.

If it is detected in step 418 that the condition input is completed by the operator, the controller proceeds to step 420. In step 420, the controller constructs a message requesting a statistical information state graph according to a condition input by the operator, and transmits a message to the MC 104 of the exchange 100. The transmitted message has the configuration of FIG. 5A, and the message is transmitted through a serial port connecting the switch 100 and the personal computer 110. For example, the message may be “RS232-C”. On the other hand, the transmitted request message is different according to the conditions (operator CPU status, CPU load status trend (tren), call-related statistics information, call-related statistics information trend (ren), etc.) input by the operator in step 418. .

Upon receiving the message requesting the statistical information status graph, the MC 104 provides the request to the GRF 106. The GRF 106 requests the corresponding statistical information state to the MSDP 102 that collects the actual statistics using the received message, and the MSDP 102 receives the request of the GRF 106 to the corresponding statistical information state. Outputs The output statistical information state is provided to the GRF 106, and the GRF 106 converts the provided statistical information state into a graphic file and displays a message in the form shown in FIG. 5B based on the converted graphic file. It is configured and output to the MC (104). The MC 102 transmits the statistical information status graphic message provided from the GRF 106 to the personal computer 110.

The control unit of the personal computer 110 checks the reception of the statistical information status graphic message through the serial port in step 422 after transmitting the request message. If the reception of the statistical information status graphic message is detected, the controller proceeds to step 424 and checks an error of the received statistical information status graphic message to determine whether it is normal. If it is determined in step 424 that the operation is normal, the controller proceeds to step 426 and outputs the received statistical information status graphic message graphically through a monitor. Since specific information can be output in a graphic form using a personal computer, it is possible to use software that is commonly used. Therefore, a detailed graphic output technique is not described. If it is determined in step 424 that the message is abnormal, the controller proceeds to step 428 and transmits a message indicating that the received statistical information status graphic message is abnormal to the MC 102 provided in the switch 100.

The above-described process is repeatedly performed by the operator until a message for requesting termination of a program corresponding to the corresponding software module is input.

As described above, the present invention has an effect that an operator can easily perform comparative analysis of various statistical information by outputting a statistical information state, which is conventionally output only in text, in a visual representation, that is, in a graphic form. In addition, there is an effect that can quickly compare the statistical information between each processor.
