Description

A method for configuring a designated path for collecting digits in an intelligent information providing system.

The present invention allows the operator to designate a digit collection function through the operator terminal of the intelligent information providing system with respect to various types of digit collection resources possessed by the intelligent information providing system (AIN IP). BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system operation management technology field, and more particularly, to a computer-readable recording medium having a method for constructing a designated path for collecting a digit and a program for realizing the same.

In general, unlike the existing public switched telephone network (hereinafter referred to as PSTN) or the initial intelligent network (hereinafter referred to as IN), the next-generation intelligent network (hereinafter referred to as AIN) is a service user and manganese. Special resources such as digit collection, audible signal transmission, announcement, voice recording, voice recognition, and fax are needed to exchange various information.

Intelligent Peripheral (hereinafter referred to as AIN IP), an AIN component, provides these special resources in the network to enable flexible and effective information exchange between service users and the network.

When using the AIN service, the service user or the service subscriber may access the AIN IP and exchange various information according to the service scenario.

The AIN IP, the service switch (SSP), and the service control system (SCP) are connected through a common line signaling network, and provide a special resource function of the IP in a bearer channel between the IP and the service switch (SSP).

However, in the conventional technology as described above, since the telephone terminal is not directly connected to the AIN IP, the AIN service must be performed to confirm whether a function of a desired digit collection resource is normally provided. In addition, it is difficult to designate and inspect a desired resource, and there are difficult problems such as charging for service use and statistical processing according to using a normal scenario.

The present invention devised to solve the above-described problems, intelligent, for specifying the digit collection path so that the operator can directly access the telephone terminal via the service switch (SSP) in IP through the operator terminal of the AIN IP, It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for constructing a designated path for collecting a digit in an information providing system and a computer-readable recording medium recording a program for realizing the same.

2 is a diagram illustrating an internal structure of an embodiment of an intelligent information providing system to which the present invention is applied.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of configuring a designated path for collecting digits and collecting digits using an operator terminal of an intelligent information providing system according to the present invention.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for configuring a designated path for collecting a digit in an intelligent information providing system, wherein, if there is a request for channel connection and signal setting from an operator terminal of an intelligent information providing system (AIN IP), A first step of, by the collecting designation path configuration control unit, outputting a digit after the announcement broadcast for channel connection, signal setting, and digit collecting, and outputting a result message; If you want to continue configuring the digit collection designation path for further checking the internal channels and resource channels between the RSU and SRU after outputting the digit collection designation path result message, A second step of collecting digits while changing; And a third step of outputting an end message to the operator after configuring the digit collection designation path, and performing channel release and signal recovery.

In addition, the present invention, in order to configure a designated path for digit collection in the intelligent information providing system, to the intelligent information providing system having a large-capacity processor, the channel connection, signal setting from the operator terminal of the intelligent information providing system (AIN IP) A first function of the digit collection designation path configuration control unit for outputting a digit collection and outputting a variety of result messages after the broadcast connection for channel connection, signal setting, digit collection, and the like, upon request; If you want to continue configuring the digit collection designation path for further checking the internal channels and resource channels between the RSU and SRU after outputting the digit collection designation path result message, A second function of collecting digits while changing; And a computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing a third function of performing channel release and signal recovery after outputting an end message to an operator in a digit collecting designated path configuration end situation.

In the present invention, the operator can designate a digit collection path so that the operator can directly access the telephone terminal via the service exchange system (SSP) in the IP through the operator terminal of the AIN IP, and the digit collection function in the AIN IP is configured. In order to examine the exchange function between the special resources to be performed and the bearer channel connected to the service switching system (SSP) and the status of the special resources, the path for digit collection can be changed and configured.

To this end, AIN IP requires a command to request the configuration of the designated path for collecting digits and a message that outputs the result of configuring the specified path. The ability to take full control of this has to be added.

The AIN IP collects digits under the control of the service control system (SCP) after the bearer channel between the telephone terminal, the service switch (SSP) and the IP is connected at the request of the service switch (SSP) instructed by the service control system (SCP). do.

Since AIN IP collects digits in a passive position, it is necessary to use services according to service scenarios to identify digit collection resources held by IP.

Therefore, in order to confirm all the functions of many digit collection resources possessed by IP, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive by using a service according to a service scenario in every possible case.

This problem occurs because AIN IP is a system that provides resources at the request of other intelligent network elements. If IP can actively collect digits, it can easily check the function of digit collection resources. To this end, it is necessary to add the AIN IP with the ability to access the telephone terminal via the SSP and the digit collection function while the telephone terminal is connected.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

1 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of an AIN to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in the figure, the AIN is a service control system (Service Control Point: referred to as SCP hereinafter) 101, Intelligent Peripheral (hereinafter referred to as AIN IP) 103, Service Switching Point (Service Switching Point) (Hereinafter referred to as SSP) 104.

SSP, SCP, and IP are connected through the common line signaling network 102.

SSP and IP are referred to as the Integrated User Network (ISDN User Part: ISUP) protocol (107, 108), and between SSP, SCP, SCP and IP (Intelligent Network Application Protocol: INAP) (106, 107, 108). Exchange information.

In addition, services using special resources of the AIN IP, such as digit collection, audible signal transmission, and announcement broadcasting, are provided through the bearer channel 109 between the SSP and the IP.

In general, the AIN service detects the SSP and exchanges information between the SSP, SCP, and IP under the control of the SCP to provide the service, and the service subscriber or the user 105 receives the digit as the AIN IP as necessary.

As AIN IP is a system that provides resources by request of other intelligent network elements, it takes a lot of time and effort to check the function of all digit collection resources possessed by IP.

Therefore, if the AIN IP can collect the digits by actively making a call according to the AIN IP operator's request without the control of the SCP, the function of all the digit collection resources will be easily confirmed.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an internal structure of an intelligent information providing system to which the present invention is applied and shows a structure for configuring a designated path for digit collection in an intelligent information providing system (AIN IP).

As shown in the figure, the AIN IP includes a resource switching unit (hereinafter referred to as RSU) 201, a specialized resource unit (hereinafter referred to as SRU) 202, and a management and control unit (Management). and Control Unit (hereinafter referred to as MCU) (203).

The MCU 201 is responsible for a system operation management and maintenance function that is processed in a centralized manner, and has an operator matching unit 204 that provides a graphic matching function between the system and the operator. The communication between the operator terminal 209 and the MCU, the MCU and the RSU, the RSU and the SRU is applied to a local area network (hereinafter, referred to as a LAN).

The protocol processing unit 206 of the RSU 202 includes a message transfer unit that is a lower protocol stack of a signaling system (Signaling System No. 7 (hereinafter referred to as SS No. 7)) for communication with the SSP and the SCP through the common line signal network ( Message Transfer Part (hereinafter referred to as MTP) and Signaling Connection Control Part (hereinafter referred to as SCCP), and as an upper protocol stack, communicate with ISUP 108 and SCP 101 for communication with SSP 104. There is an INAP 106, which is connected to the common line signal network and the signal data link 210.

The call processor 207 has an external bearer channel (hereinafter referred to as an external channel) 211 between the IP 103 and the SSP 104 and an internal bearer channel (hereinafter referred to as an internal channel) between the RSU 202 and the SRU 203. 212 is connected and has an exchange function that interconnects the external and internal channels.

The digit collection designation path configuration control unit 205 configures a path by designating a destination terminal, an external channel, and an internal channel by an operator as a part of performing normal AIN service processing, and then controls digit collection in the corresponding digit collection resource. It performs the function. Therefore, when configuring the designated route, external channel between IP and SSP is connected by AIN IP request, and INAP for information exchange with AIN SCP is not used.

The SRU 203 includes a resource processor 208 that provides resources such as digit collection, audible signal transmission, and announcement broadcasting while connected to the RSU through the internal channel 212.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of configuring a designated path for collecting digits and collecting digits using an operator terminal of an intelligent information providing system according to the present invention.

If it is a normal command (303), the call processor 207 requests the connection of the corresponding external channel in order to connect the called terminal (305). Upon receiving the external channel connection result (306), if the channel connection fails (307), the operator is informed that the external channel connection has failed (308), and if the channel connection is successful (307), the protocol processing unit initializes the ISUP. A signal setting to the called terminal is requested using the address message (309).

In response to the signal setting result (310), when the signal setting to the called terminal fails (311), the operator notifies the signal setting failure (312), and requests the release of the connected external channel (313).

If the signal is set successfully (311), the operator requests to connect the internal channel between the designated RSU and SRU (314) and receives the result of the internal channel connection (315). If the connection fails (316), the internal channel is connected to the operator. A notification of the failure is made (317), the release of the external channel connected to the call processing unit is requested (318), and the protocol processing unit requests the signal recovery to the called terminal by using the recovery message of the ISUP (319). If the internal channel is connected (316), it is requested to collect the digits as long as the digit length requested by the operator to the resource channel corresponding to the internal channel connected to the resource processor (320).

At this time, the operator may check the announcement for the digit input in the called terminal, and may check the announcement and input the digit. When receiving a digit collection result from the resource processing unit (321), if the digit collection fails (322), the operator is notified of the digit collection failure (323), the external channel release (324) to the call processing unit, and a signal to the protocol processing unit. The recovery 325 requests an internal channel release 326 to the call processor.

If the digit collection is successful, the operator outputs an inquiry whether to continue the digit collection designation path configuration together with the result of the digit collection designation path configuration (327).

When the operator requests to continue the digit collection designated path configuration (328) by analyzing the input command (330), if it is a normal command (331), the resource processing unit requests to release the resource channel associated with the corresponding internal channel ( 332), the call processing unit requests to release the internal channel (333).

In addition, the call processor requests the operator to connect the internal channel requested by the operator (334). If the connection fails due to the internal channel connection result (335) (336), the operator is notified of the internal channel connection failure (337). In step 345, it checks whether to continue with other internal channels.

If the internal channel connection is successful (336), the resource processing unit requests to collect the digits of the digit length requested by the operator (338). If the digit collection fails after receiving the digit collection result (339) (340), the operator is notified that the digit collection has failed in the corresponding internal channel (341).

If the digit collection is successful, the operator notifies the operator of the result of the digit collection designation path configuration, requests the resource processing unit to release the corresponding resource channel (343), and requests the call processing unit to release the internal channel (344). When the digit collection is continued while changing the internal channel (345), the process proceeds from the internal channel connection process (334) to the internal channel release process (344). Inquire (346).

If there is an error in the operator command (330), the operator command outputs the command error (347), and if it can proceed (348), asks the operator whether to continue (349). If it is impossible to proceed (348), the internal channel release request process 354 is performed from the end notification process 350 of the digit collection designation path configuration function.

That is, when the operator's request or the designated waiting time is exceeded (329), the operator is notified of the end of the digit collection designated path configuration function (350), the call processor is requested to release the external channel (351), and the protocol processing unit is Request signal recovery (352). The resource processor requests release of the corresponding resource channel (353), and the call processor requests release of the internal channel (354).

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, and the above-described embodiments and accompanying It is not limited to the drawing.
