Description

System and Method Of Managing Calling Identity Delivery Signal Apparatus In The Local Exchange}

The present invention relates to a CID signaling equipment management system and method in a local exchange, and in particular, by providing data on the CID signaling equipment to an operator and a network management center in a local exchange, by monitoring the status and load of the CID signaling equipment, It is about CID signaling equipment management system and method in the local exchange that can be used as important data for expansion and operation.

In general, a Calling Identity Delivery (CID) service is a service that displays a caller's telephone number and name on a receiver's phone or an additional device so that the receiver can select whether or not to answer.

However, in order to provide the CID service in a national exchange, CID signal equipment is required as a signal equipment for CID service that can transmit existing signaling equipment and CID signals.

The existing signaling equipment receives a DTMF (Dual Tone Multifrequency) signal from a subscriber in a local exchange that does not provide the CID service, performs a R2 signaling for a tone connection, a relay call connection, and the CID signaling equipment. In addition to the existing signaling equipment in order to provide CID service in the national exchange, the DTMF signal is transmitted to the called subscriber by outputting the calling party's calling number on the called subscriber's CID display device.

On the other hand, the conventional exchange providing the CID service did not measure the status and occupancy data for the CID signaling equipment to provide the operator.

In other words, the data exchange for CID signaling equipment, that is, the status monitoring data for CID signaling equipment and the occupancy data for CID signaling equipment, etc. are collected in the conventional exchange providing the CID service, so that they can be output. Did not do it.

Therefore, in the past, since there was no function of checking and occupying the status of CID signaling equipment, the operator could not know the status and load of CID signaling equipment mounted in the local exchange, so that a failure or excessive occupancy of CID signaling equipment was required. Therefore, if there is a problem in providing the CID service, there is a problem in that it is impossible to determine the cause because it is impossible to measure the evidence data for analyzing and processing the CID service, and there is a problem that there is no data to refer to when planning the operation and expansion of the CID signal equipment.

The present invention is to solve the problems as described above, collecting and storing the state monitoring data and occupancy data for the CID signaling equipment in the national exchange, and output to the operator or network management center periodically or as required by the operator By providing the basic data for the expansion and operation of the CID signaling equipment in the local exchange that provides the CID service by observing the status and load of the CID signaling equipment.

Hereinafter, a method of managing CID signaling equipment in a local exchange configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of managing CID signaling equipment in a local exchange according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, after receiving a call from the calling subscriber terminal 110 and transmitting the DTMF signal to the called subscriber terminal 120 to provide the CID service to the display device of the called subscriber terminal 120 For the CID signal device 211 to be displayed, the data monitoring unit 212 monitors the CID signal device 211 (step S401) and determines whether data is generated for the CID signal device (step S402). ).

At this time, when data on the CID signal equipment is generated, the data monitoring unit 211 determines whether the data on the CID signal equipment is state monitoring data or occupied data (step S403).

On the other hand, when the data for the CID signal equipment does not occur, the data monitoring unit 2110 monitors the CID signal equipment 211 (step S401), whether the data generation for the CID signal equipment It judges (step S402).

As a result of the determination (step S403), when the data for the CID signal equipment is state monitoring data, the data monitoring unit 212 drives the state management unit 213 (step S404).

Here, the state monitoring data for the CID signal equipment is information that can manage and grasp the state of the CID signal equipment 211, and refers to the number of mounting, available water, number of obstacles, availability, available time, etc. The number is the number of CID signaling equipment 211 installed for the CID service in the local exchange 200, the available water is the number of CID signaling equipment available for the CID service among the mounted CID signaling equipment 211. The number of failures is the number of CID signaling equipment that is unavailable for CID service among the mounted CID signaling equipment 211, and the availability rate is the CID signal that can be used for CID service among the mounted CID signaling equipment 211. The ratio of the number of equipment in percentage (%), and the available time is the time the mounted CID signaling equipment 211 is used for CID service.

Then, the state management unit 213 calls the state monitoring data for the CID signal equipment in the form of a library (step S405).

That is, the state management unit 213 refers to the station data and the number of mounting of the CID signal equipment 211 with reference to the station data when the first local exchange 200 is driven, and the mounted of the mounted CID signal equipment 211. Detects the hardware signal to determine the failure of the CID signal equipment 211, and other available availability, availability rate, available time, and the like, the status monitoring data for the CID signal equipment in the form of a library to determine do.

On the other hand, when the data of the CID signal equipment is occupied data as a result of the determination (step S403), the data monitoring unit 212 drives the call processing unit 214 (step S406).

Here, the occupancy data for the CID signaling equipment is information on the details of occupying the available channel for the CID signaling equipment 211 or information on the traffic for the CID signaling equipment 211, the occupancy requirement, The occupancy rate, the number of occupancy failure, the occupancy rate, the occupancy time, etc., wherein the occupancy requirement is the available channel occupancy requirement for the available CID signaling equipment 211 mounted for the CID service in the local exchange 200. The occupancy rate is the channel occupancy success number by requesting the available channel occupancy for the mounted available CID signal equipment 211, and the occupancy failure number is the available channel for the mounted available CID signal equipment 211. The occupancy rate is the number of channel occupancy failures, and the occupancy rate is a ratio indicating the number of channel occupancy success rates in percent (%) by requesting available channel occupancy for the mounted available CID signaling equipment 211. The retention time is a time from the channel occupancy to the release of the channel occupancy by requesting the available channel occupancy for the mounted available CID signal equipment 211.

Then, the call processing unit 214 calls the occupancy data for the CID signaling equipment in a library format (step S407).

That is, to provide the CID service, when the calling subscriber attempts to call, the call processing unit 214 first checks whether the CID signaling equipment 211 is mounted and available to the state management unit 213, and if available, the CID signaling equipment ( Whenever the available channel occupancy request of 211) occurs, grasp the occupancy requirement, occupancy success, occupancy failure, occupancy rate, occupancy time, and the like, and grasp the occupancy data for the CID signaling device 211 in a library format. do.

Accordingly, the data monitoring unit 212 stores the data on the CID signal equipment that is called and found in the shared memory unit 215. (Step S408). Here, the data on the CID signaling equipment includes the state monitoring data that is called by the state manager 213 and the occupancy data that is called by the call processor 214.

Accordingly, the collection unit 216 is driven periodically (for example, 5 minutes cycle) to collect data on the CID signal equipment stored in the shared memory unit 215 to the buffer for each subsystem 217 Temporarily store (step S409).

Here, the subsystem-specific buffer 217 refers to its own buffer provided for each subsystem in which the CID signal equipment 211 is mounted.

In addition, the storage unit 221 is driven periodically (for example, 5 minutes) to request the data transmission for the CID signal equipment to the collection unit 216 (step S410).

Accordingly, the collection unit 216 receives the data transmission request for the CID signal equipment from the storage unit 221 and receives data about the CID signal equipment temporarily stored in the buffer for each subsystem. The processor 221 transmits the inter-processor communication (IPC) to the storage unit 221 and initializes the subsystem-specific buffer 217 and the shared memory unit 215 to '0' (step S411).

Here, the inter-processor communication is an inter-processor communication technique, and the collection process is terminated when the buffer 217 and the shared memory unit 215 for each subsystem are initialized to '0'. This collection process continues periodically to acquire data for CID signaling equipment.

Accordingly, the storage unit 221 determines whether the data on the CID signal equipment received from the collection unit 216 is state monitoring data or occupied data (step S412).

At this time, when the data for the CID signal equipment is the state monitoring data, the storage unit 221 stores the state monitoring data in the state monitoring data DB 231 for each subsystem of the disk 230 (step S413). ). Here, the state monitoring data DB 231 includes a mounting number, available water, number of failures, availability, and available time for CID signal equipment for each subsystem.

On the other hand, if the data for the CID signal equipment is occupied data, the storage unit 221 stores the occupied data in the occupied data DB 232 for each subsystem of the disk 230 (step S414). Here, the occupation data DB 232 includes the occupancy request, occupancy success, occupancy failure, occupancy rate, and occupancy time for the CID caller for each subsystem.

Then, the output unit 222 receives the data output request for the CID signal equipment (step S415), and determines whether the received output request is a request by an operator or a network management center (step S416). ).

At this time, when the output request is a request by the operator, the output unit 222 is the status monitoring data DB 231 for each subsystem stored in the disk 230 and the occupation data DB 232 for each subsystem. The data on the CID signaling equipment is read from the transmission to the operator terminal 300, and outputted at the operator's request or periodically (step S417).

Here, the output when the operator request is to output to the operator terminal 300 at the request of the operator, the periodic output is the operator terminal 300 at the output time set by the operator, such as every hour, ie hourly, daily, monthly The status monitoring data is divided into mount number, available number, number of errors, availability rate, and available time for CID signal equipment for each subsystem, and the occupancy data is output to CID signal equipment for each subsystem. It is divided into the occupancy request, occupancy success, occupancy failure, occupancy rate and occupancy time.

On the other hand, when the output request is a request by the network management center, the output unit 222 is the status monitoring data DB 231 for each subsystem stored in the disk 230 and the occupation data DB for each subsystem. The data on the CID signal equipment is read from 232 and transmitted to the network management center terminal 400 and periodically outputted (step S418).

Here, the periodic output is output to the network management center terminal 400 at periodic time units, that is, at an output time set by the network management center, such as hourly, daily, and monthly, and the state monitoring data is CID signaling equipment for each subsystem. The occupancy data is divided into mount number, available number, failure number, availability rate, and available time, and the occupancy data is classified as occupancy requirement, occupancy rate, occupancy failure, occupancy rate, occupancy time, etc. The output is divided.

In addition, the embodiment according to the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned, and can be implemented by various alternatives, modifications, and changes within the scope apparent to those skilled in the art.

As described above, the present invention can easily grasp the state and load of the CID signaling equipment of the operation of the local exchange in operation by receiving and analyzing the data of the CID signaling equipment mounted on the national exchange whenever necessary. It can be used as basic data for the expansion and operation of CID signaling equipment related to the related equipment.In addition, the data on CID signaling equipment can be automatically transmitted to the operator terminal or network management center terminal periodically, so the operator can manually There is no need to monitor the system, which improves the convenience of system operation.
