Description

Click fax receiving service in next generation intelligent network

The present invention relates to a next generation intelligent network service providing technology, and more particularly, to a method for providing a click fax reception service in a next generation intelligent network.

The existing next-generation intelligent network is a network concept based on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) / Integrated Service Digital Network (ISDN), and it was possible to use the intelligent network service using a telephone terminal. The service was not available. That is, the information of the service Internet server connected to the Internet could not be received by the fax terminal.

In recent years, communication services through Internet terminals are gradually increasing, and the types thereof are also diversified. Therefore, the need for a technology for providing a click fax reception service in a next-generation intelligent network is emerging as an urgent problem.

The present invention is to provide a method for providing a click fax reception service capable of receiving information of the Internet requested by a service user through an intelligent network and transmitting a fax message to a fax terminal of the service user.

The present invention provides a service control point (SCP), a service switching point (SSP), and an intelligent information providing system (IP :) in which an intelligent network service request for receiving a click pack from an Internet terminal is a next-generation intelligent network element. Intelligent Peripheral) is proposed. In other words, by suggesting the intelligent network message structure transmitted and received between SCP or IP, which is an intelligent network element, and the Internet gateway station connected to the signal network, and a process of processing a click fax reception service in each network element, the user of the Internet terminal service clicks a specific button. In addition, IP implements a click fax reception service that can access information from an Internet server, collect the information, and deliver the information to the service user's fax terminal.

Accordingly, in order to achieve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a method for providing a click fax reception service in a next generation intelligent network, comprising: a first step of driving the intelligent network service logic; A second step of remotely accessing an Internet server and storing information to be sent to a fax terminal of an Internet service user using an Internet terminal in an intelligent information providing system; A third step of establishing a channel between the intelligent information providing system and a fax terminal of an Internet service user; And a fourth step of transmitting the fax data stored in the intelligent information providing system to the fax terminal of the Internet service user.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be introduced so that those skilled in the art can more easily implement the present invention.

1 is a diagram illustrating a network configuration in which a next-generation intelligent network to which a click-fax receiving service is to be applied and the Internet are interworked according to the present invention, wherein a user of the click-fax receiving service having an internet terminal clicks a specific button to perform an intelligent network service. Upon request, the Internet gateway station 2 detects it, encodes it into an intelligent network message that SCP 3 can receive, and sends it to SCP 3. The Internet gateway station (2) is a network element that mediates the Internet and the intelligent network, defends against illegal use and attacks from the Internet, and acts as a mediation function between the protocols used in the Internet and the intelligent network. SCP (3) is a network element that holds the intelligent network service logic and data necessary to perform the service. When SCP (3) receives the click fax reception service request from the Internet gateway station 2, it operates the intelligent network service logic. IP (4) is a network element that provides service users with special resources such as voice guidance, dual tone multi frequency (DTMF) collection, voice recognition, message reception, media conversion, and so on. Log in remotely to the Internet server 7, copy the information and convert it into fax data, and, upon request from SCP (3), convert the converted fax data via the SSP (5) to the Internet service. Transfer to the user's fax terminal 6. The SSP (5) detects the intelligent network service request from the PSTN / ISDN terminal and delivers it to the SCP (3), and upon request of the SCP (3), establishes a call path with a specific PSTN / ISDN terminal and the IP (4). Element.

2 is a diagram illustrating a procedure in which the network elements illustrated in FIG. 1 process a click-fax transmission service according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein an address of an internet server having information that a service user wants to receive is received. Enter the location of the corresponding information on the Internet server, the receiving fax terminal number, etc. and click the service request button, and the Internet gateway station sends the Internet intelligent network service message to the SCP (11).

SCP then analyzes the Internet intelligent network service processing request message and checks whether it can execute the intelligent network service logic program, and if the service cannot be provided, sends an Internet intelligent network service processing request failure response message to the Internet gateway station (12). The process ends. If the SCP is able to process the service, it sends an Internet access request message from the designated Internet server to the Internet gateway to store the Internet information in the IP element IP (13).

The Internet gateway then sends an information access message to the IP specified by SCP, including the system address, login information, and file location required to access the Internet information (14). IP remotely logs into the Internet server, copies the file, converts it into fax type data, stores the data, and assigns a stored message identification number to transmit an information access response message to the Internet gateway. If the IP fails to receive media convertible data from the Internet gateway, or converts it to fax type data and stores it, the Internet gateway sends an outgoing message collection response to the SCP (16), and the SCP sends it to the Internet gateway. The intelligent network service processing request failure response message is sent to the station (12), and the service processing ends. If the Internet gateway receives an information access success response message from the IP, it sends an Internet access success response to the SCP (17).

Subsequently, the SCP sends a message to the SSP to connect to the fax terminal requested by the service user (18). The SSP connects the call path with the received fax terminal and calls (19). If the fax terminal does not respond normally and is busy or unresponsive, it reports a busy or non-responsive event to the SCP (20), and attempts to connect with the Internet terminal of the Internet service user at regular intervals for the number of retries defined in the service logic. (21) and step (19) are performed again. If the Internet service user's fax terminal does not respond normally until the number of retries is exceeded, SCP sends an intelligent network service processing request failure response message to the Internet gateway station (12) and terminates the service processing.

Upon receiving an event that the Internet terminal of the Internet service user's fax terminal has responded normally from the SSP (22), the SCP sends a connection request message to the SSP with the IP storing the fax type data (23). The SSP establishes a bearer channel with the IP (24), and the IP informs the SCP that the bearer channel with the SSP is connected and sends a command request message for resource provision (25). When requested to send a fax type message from the SCP to the fax terminal of the Internet service user (26), the IP sends the fax type message over the connected bearer channel (27), and sends a response message to the SCP (28). In operation 29, the bearer channel connection with the SSP is released. Receiving a fax transmission response message from the IP, SCP transmits an Internet intelligent network service processing response message to the Internet gateway station (30), and terminates the service processing.

Table 1 below shows the structure of the intelligent network message transmitted and received between the Internet gateway and SCP, the Internet gateway and IP designed for the processing of the click fax reception service described in FIG.
