Description

How to Receive and Process Property Codes in Remote Property Control

The present invention relates to the function of Remote Feature Control (RFC). In particular, the present invention relates to a method of inputting and receiving a feature code (FC) and processing a received digit.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a conventional feature code receiving and processing step. Referring to FIG. 1, a guide broadcast for dual tone multiple frequency (hereinafter referred to as DTMF) device connection and feature code input for receiving a feature code is transmitted (101). After the subscriber receives the digit through the DTMF device (103) by inputting a characteristic code (103), the subscriber stores the received digit in an internal buffer (105).

If the received digit is the first digit (107), the announcement broadcast is cut (109). A number translation is performed to confirm that the received digit corresponds to the appropriate specific code. Check whether all the necessary digits for number translation have been received (111). If more digits are needed, the next digit is received, and if all are received, the number translation for the characteristic code is required as a block in charge of number translation. 113).

When the result of the number translation is received and the result is abnormal (115), the retry check is performed (121), the retry on the characteristic code input is performed (123), if not, the announcement broadcast and the DTMF device for the failure To release the process to terminate the process (125).

In the case of the normal feature code, a phone number corresponding to the feature code is input (117). If all of the digits are input, the subscriber inputs a digit (#) corresponding to the end of the digit, terminates the reception of the characteristic code, and checks whether the received switch number is normal (121). In case of an abnormal switching number, a retry procedure is performed (121, 123). When the change number is normally processed (121), a procedure for activating / deactivating / verifying the additional service is performed on the corresponding characteristic code. If a feature code does not require a forwarding number, it is regarded as a normal forwarding number if there is no forwarding number.

In the above conventional processing procedure, the subscriber inputs the characteristic code and the transfer number consecutively. If the subscriber enters an abnormal feature code and then enters a conversion number, the number translation for the feature code fails.

In addition, when a new feature code is input by retrying, the subscriber continues to input the conversion number. As a result, new feature codes are also lost, which prevents the normal retry procedure from being performed.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems as described above, and the request for number translation for a feature code is performed after receiving an end digit for receiving a digit. Therefore, the purpose of providing a method of simplifying the procedure is included in the procedure for receiving the change number is included in the characteristic code receiving procedure.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a conventional feature code receiving and processing step.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a feature code receiving and processing step according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In order to achieve the above object, a preferred embodiment of the method for receiving and processing a feature code in a remote feature control according to the present invention, which is designed to achieve the above object, is connected to a DTMF in a remote feature control function, Transmitting an input request announcement, receiving a characteristic code and a switching digit, storing in the received digit memory, cutting the announcement if the received digit is the first digit, terminating the digit input. Receiving a digit until a corresponding digit is received; when receiving a digit input end digit, requesting a number translation for a characteristic code to a number translation block, receiving a result, and if the result is abnormal, Performing a retry on the property code input by checking whether the retry is performed; If the step is terminated, if the result is normal, checking whether the conversion number is normal, performing a retry procedure if the conversion number is abnormal, and if the conversion number is normally processed, an additional service for the corresponding characteristic code Performing a procedure for activating / deactivating / confirming of, and if it is a feature code that does not require a conversion number, processing it as a normal conversion number when there is no conversion number.

In the present invention, if the retry fails, it is preferable to further include the step of sending a guide broadcast for the failure, and the step of releasing the DTMF device.

While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, only specific embodiments thereof are shown in the drawings and will be described in detail. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention is not limited to the specific forms referred to in the specification, but rather that the invention is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. It should be understood to include.

Hereinafter, a method of receiving and processing a feature code in the remote feature control of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a characteristic code receiving and processing step according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, a guide broadcast for connection of a dual tone multiple frequency (DTMF) device and a feature code input for receiving a feature code (FC) is transmitted (201). In operation 203, the subscriber receives a digit through the DTMF device by inputting a characteristic code. The received digit is stored in an internal buffer (205). If the received digit is the first digit (209), the announcement broadcast is cut (209). Digit is received until a specific digit corresponding to end of digit input, for example, '#', is received (211).

Upon receiving the digit input end digit, the number translation block is requested for the number translation for the feature code, and the result of the number translation is received. If the result is abnormal (215), check whether or not retrying (219) to perform the retry for the feature code input, and if abnormal, after the announcement broadcast for failure and DTMF device is released and terminates processing (221) ).

In the case of the normal feature code, it is checked whether the switch number is normal (217). If it is an abnormal transition number, a retry procedure is performed (121).

If the change number is normally processed, the procedure for activating / deactivating / verifying the additional service is performed for the corresponding characteristic code.

If a feature code does not require a transfer number, it is regarded as a normal transfer number if there is no transfer number.

The present invention operating as described above has the effect of simplifying the procedure by changing the receiving end digit for receiving the digit to include the switching number receiving procedure in the characteristic code receiving procedure.
