1 shows an intelligent network system for providing real-time free call and telephone prize according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The intelligent network system 100 includes a service switching device (SSP) 110, a signal transmission device (STP) 120, a service control device (SCP) 130, and an intelligent additional device (IP) 140.

The local exchange 200 recognizes that it is an intelligent network call through 0707 when it dials 02-123-4567 using 0707 "real-time free call and telephone prize intelligent network service" identification number.

The service switching device 110 carries a calling number (02-526-6125) and a called number (02-123-4567) in an integrated services digital network user part (ISP) message according to a call processing flow of an intelligent network service. Transfer to the service control device 130 via the (120).

When the service control device 130 receives the call processing request message received from the service switching device 110 by operating the "real-time free call and telephone prize intelligent network service" logic, the call number of the received call and the random number generation algorithm in advance The winning number is decided by comparing the generated phone number (1-7 digits possible) from the last digit. If the received call does not win, it connects the calling party and the called party like a normal call.

If the received call is a winning call, the intelligent additional device 140 transmits a announcement to inform the calling party of the winning fact (no charge or prize / mileage / gift certificate, etc.) together with a congratulatory message.

Here, the service provider may draw the winners using various lottery algorithms, and operate the service by designing service logic to provide various prizes / mileages / gift certificates, etc., including no-payment, even for the won prizes. In other words, if the received call wins the unpaid fee, the winning call is processed free of charge, and if the received call wins the prize, the prize is awarded / mileage / gift certificate.

In addition, in order to increase the dramatic effect of the service and maximize the effect of service promotion, a method of transmitting a broadcast announcement during a call or after a call can be considered. Instead of paying free prizes or giving prizes to winnings, we also accept phone charges to help the underprivileged and send the announcement, "This call charge from the customer is used to help the underprivileged." May be This approach not only pleases the caller, but can also be useful for public relations.

2 through 4 show processing flowcharts of service logic for providing " real-time free call intelligent network service " in the manner described above.

Figure 2 is the simplest example of the "real-time free call intelligent network service" logic, the service logic to notify the caller of the unpaid charges and process the charges for the call before drawing the 10 calls every 100 calls to connect the caller and the receiver Shows a processing flow chart.

First, when the "real-time free call intelligent network service" logic is started (S10), after generating a random number 10 numbers from the number from 1-100 to the random number generation algorithm and store it in the memory 400 ( S11), the counter value is initialized to zero (S12), and the service switching device 110 waits for a call processing request message to be input. At this time, when the call processing request message is input to the service logic, the counter value is incremented by 1 each time the call processing request message is input (S13). Then, the generated random number is compared with the counter value, and it is determined whether the counter value is included in 10 random numbers generated by a random number generation algorithm or not (S14).

If the counter value does not belong to the generated random number (i.e., there is no same value), the call is not an unpaid call, so the sender and the receiver are connected by the general call processing method (S15). Go to step S19 to check whether the counter value is 100 or not. If the counter value is 100, the process proceeds to step S11 of generating ten random numbers again. If the counter value is not 100, the process moves to step S13 waiting for the next call processing request message.

On the other hand, if the counter value belongs to the generated random number (i.e., there is the same value), since the call is an unpaid call, the call is sent with the congratulatory message to the caller using the intelligent attachment 140 shown in FIG. Sending the billing announcement broadcast (S16), and controls the service switching device 110 to connect the calling party and the called party (S17). When the calling party and the called party are connected, the service switching device 110 notifies the service exchange device 110 to handle the call-free accounting process (S18), and then checks the counter value to determine whether the counter value is 100 or not. To judge. The following processing procedure is the same as the above-described processing procedure.

In addition to the above-mentioned method, the method of drawing the unpaid gold number generates a one-digit random number or a two-digit random number for each issue and wins the unpaid number if it matches the random number generated by two digits at the end or end of the calling number. There is also a way. These services have a simple intelligent network identification number and simple service logic, so that users can enjoy the real-time joy of making a free call in real-time, with little or no inconvenience compared to using a regular telephone. Easy to use Particularly in the highly competitive wireless market, if a specific service provider uses this service or a combination of wired / wireless service providers applies this service to calls from wired to wireless, wireless to wired, wired to wired, and wireless to wireless, it will attract customers and customers. It can be a good service for your satisfaction. In addition, in the case of mobile phones, many users store their phone numbers in memory and use them, so they can enjoy the service without the inconvenience of having to press the ID number.

3 is another example of the "real-time free call intelligent network service" logic, which shows a method of pre-authorizing the right to make free calls to 1 to 4 calls to the calling terminal that calls the call by drawing 4 calls every 100 calls. .

In more detail, FIG. 3 illustrates a method of registering and managing a winning call number and a free call possible lake in a free call management table 510 when a specific call number wins a free call, and the free call management table 510. Calls originating from the calling number registered at can be called for free until the reserved call becomes 0, and the service logic allows the additional number of used lakes to be used even when the free call is won while using the free call again. Shows a processing flow chart.

First, when the "real-time free call intelligent network service" logic is activated (S30), four random numbers are generated through a random number generation algorithm among numbers from 1 to 100 (S31). After that, the number of free calls that can be made free calls to the number 1-4 for each generated random number is stored in the free bill lottery table 500, and the counter value is initialized to 0 (S32) and the service exchange device ( In step 110), the call processing request message is waited for input. At this time, when the call processing request message is input to the service logic, the real-time free call intelligent network service logic increases the counter value by 1 each time the call processing request message is received (S33). Then, the random number generated in step S31 and the counter value are compared to determine whether the counter value is included in the four numbers generated by the random number generation algorithm (S34).

If the counter value does not belong to the generated random number (i.e., there is no same value), the call is not a call won with an unpaid call, so the process moves to step S36 of checking the unpaid call management table 510. It is determined whether a number exists in the bill-free management table 510. If the call number of the call is not in the unpaid call management table (5100), since there is no reserved unpaid call, the caller and the receiver are connected by the general call processing method (S37), and the counter value is checked in step S42. Move to determine whether the counter value is 100 or not. If the counter value is 100, the process proceeds to step S31 of generating a random number, and regenerates four random numbers and allocates a lake to which free calls can be made up to 1-4. If the counter value is not 100, the process moves to step S33 waiting for the next call processing request message.

On the other hand, if the call is not won as an unpaid call, but if the call number of the call is registered in the unpaid call management table 510, since the reserved unpaid call remains, the caller uses the intelligent additional device 140 shown in FIG. After sending the unpaid information broadcast to the (S38), and controls the service switching device 110 to connect the calling party and the called party (S39). When the calling party and the called party are connected, the service switching device 110 is notified to process the bill-free processing for the call (S40), and the bill-free lake reserved for the calling party number is reduced by one in the bill-free call management table 5100. (S41). At this time, if the reserved lake becomes 0, the calling party number is completely deleted from the bill-free call management table 510 and the process moves to step S42 of checking the counter value to determine whether the counter value is 100 or not. The following processing procedure is the same as the above-mentioned processing procedure.

Again, returning to step 34, if the counter value of the call belongs to the generated random number (that is, if there is the same value), then the call has been won on the unpaid call, so the call number and the call number are displayed in the unpaid call management table 510. Save the winning free lake (S35). Then, it is determined whether the calling number exists in the bill-free call management table 510 (S36). At this time, if the calling number is already registered in the bill-free management table 510, only the winning lake is added. After the management of the bill-free management table 510 in this way, using the intelligent additional device (IP) 140 to inform the caller the lake that can be called free of charge with the free announcement (S38). When the announcement broadcast is finished, the service switching device 110 is controlled to connect the calling party and the called party (S39), and notifies the service switching device 110 to process the corresponding call without charge (S40). After that, the unpaid lake reserved for the corresponding calling number is reduced by 1 in the unpaid lake management table 510 (S41). At this time, if the reserved lake becomes 0, the calling party number is completely deleted from the bill-free lake management table 510, and the process moves to step S42 of checking the counter value to determine whether the counter value is 100 or not. The following procedure is the same as the procedure described above.

In addition to the above-mentioned method, the method of drawing the unpaid gold number generates a one-digit random number or a two-digit random number for each issue and wins the unpaid number if it matches the random number generated by two digits at the end or end of the calling number. There is also a way. In addition, in FIG. 3, when a particular call wins a free call, a method of reserving a free call to the caller instead of the calling terminal may be considered. In this case, however, the caller must be given a password, and in reality, it is inconvenient to use a different intelligent network access number in order to use the reserved unpaid password. However, when the Internet phone is activated in the future, the Internet phone can guarantee personal mobility, so that the individual who is not the terminal will be able to use the reserved unpaid call without a password.

4 is a service logic that includes a "real-time free call intelligent network service" as an additional function in the lifetime number service (0502) logic, which is the most representative personalized intelligent network service, to draw a part of the calls sent using the lifetime number to handle the unpaid charges. Shows a processing flow chart.

Lifetime number service gives subscribers a virtual number that does not change for a lifetime, and subscribers register and use phone numbers (home, company, mobile phones) that can be received according to location and time. It is a service that provides various functions such as management function and voice mailbox.

The method shown in FIG. 4 is the same as the processing procedure shown in FIG. 2 except that the lifetime number service logic is activated and processed.

As mentioned above, the free bill lottery function can be included as an additional function in almost all intelligent network services such as lifetime number service, credit call service, 700 service, and national representative number service. It can be greatly used for triggering.

5 to 6 show processing flowcharts of service logic for providing real-time telephony intelligent network service.

FIG. 5 is provided under the condition that prizes, mileages, gift certificates, etc. are provided to each random number generated by generating 5-digit, 4-digit, 3-digit, and 2-digit numbers through a random number generation algorithm among 00000-99999 times once a day. The process flow of the service for providing a corresponding prize to the calling number corresponding to the random number is shown by comparing the generated random number with the ending number from the last 5 digits.

First, when the "real-time telephone prize intelligent network service" logic is activated (S70), a 5-digit, 4-digit, 3-digit, 2-digit number is generated through a random number generation algorithm among numbers from 00000-99999 (S71). Thereafter, the generated random number and the prizes are connected one-to-one to create a "premium table 700" (S72) and wait for a call processing request message from the service switching device 110. When the call processing request message is input to the service logic (S73), the random number registered in the prize table 700 and the end of the calling number are started to be compared to 5 digits (S74). If there is no matching number (that is, the same value is not the case) because it is a case that won not win prizes, by controlling the service switching device 110 in a manner of processing a general call to connect the sender and the receiver (S76). Then go to step 80 of checking the date to determine if the date has changed or not. If the date has not been changed, go back to step S73 of waiting for a call processing request message, and if the date is changed, go to step S71 of generating four random numbers from 00000-99999 to regenerate the prize table 700. do.

On the other hand, if there is a matching number (i.e., the same value) by comparing the random number generated in step S71 with the number registered in the prize table 700 among the numbers from the last to the last five digits, Since the calling terminal wins the prize, the calling party records the calling number, the called number, the winning date and time, the winning prize, etc. (S75). This data will be used later to identify winners. When the registration of the winning table is completed, the winner is notified with the congratulatory message to the sender using the intelligent additional device (IP) 140 (S77), and the service switching device 110 shown in FIG. Connect (S78). When the calling party and the called party are connected, the winning number is deleted from the prize table 700 (S79), so that the same prize is not won again on that day, and then the step is checked to see if the date has been changed. To judge. If the date has not been changed, the process proceeds to step S73 again waiting for a call processing request message. If the date is changed, the process proceeds to step S71 to generate a random number among the numbers 00000-99999 to regenerate the prize table 700. The following processing procedure is the same as the above-mentioned processing procedure.

In this service logic, various periods can be adjusted by day, week, month, etc. according to the price of the prize, and the prize lottery algorithm is also selected from the lottery concept of the above-mentioned lottery concept and a certain size. After generating a random number and assigning a serial number to each call to be input, the lottery may be drawn by comparing the generated random number with the serial number. In the former case, there may be no winners during the lottery period, but in the latter case, there is a difference in that the winner is necessarily generated when a number is entered.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart of service logic that includes real time telephone prize intelligent network service as an add-on to home banking service based on CTI / ARS technology and exempts service fee by drawing 5 for every 500 issues. Indicates.

First, when the home banking service logic is activated (S90), five random numbers are generated from the numbers from 1 to 500 through a random number generation algorithm and stored in the memory 800 (S91), and then the counter value is zero. Initialize (S92) and wait for a service request call to enter the home banking service logic from the service user. At this time, if the service request call is input to the home banking service logic, the counter value is increased by 1 each time the service request call is received (S93). Then, the random number generated in the step S91 and the counter value are compared to determine whether the counter value is included in the five numbers generated by the random number generation algorithm (S94). If the counter value does not belong to the generated random number (if it is not the same value), the call is not a fee exemption call, and the counter value is provided after providing the service according to the processing flow (S95, S96, S97) of the home banking service logic. The process moves to step S112 to determine whether the count value is 500 or not (S112). At this time, if the counter value is 500, the process moves to step S91 of generating five random numbers. If the counter value is not 500, the process moves to step S93 for waiting for the next service request call.

On the other hand, if the counter value belongs to the generated random number (when there is the same value), since the call is a fee exemption call, the call is provided according to the processing flow (S98, S99, S100) of the home banking service, and is provided to the service user. After transmitting the fee exemption announcement with a congratulatory message and exempting the fee for using the service (S111), the counter value is used as a step S112 to determine whether the counter value is 500 or not. The following process is the same as the above process.

Here, the service provider may use the lottery concept mentioned in FIG. 5 together with the above-mentioned lottery method, and operate the service to provide various prizes as well as a fee exemption for the winning call.

In the future, when network resources are opened to 3rd party operators with JAIN / PARLAY structure and the environment is available to use network operators' resources using OPEN API, 3rd party operators can use intelligent network technology, Various services can be provided including WEB technology. In this environment, the real-time telephony prize intelligent network service concept can be utilized as an important function of the service made by 3rd party operators. For example, if you make a home banking service using the OPEN API provided by JAIN / PARLY, if you give various prizes, such as randomly drawing some of the customers who use the home banking service and exempting the fee, you will be able to secure customers and satisfy customers. It can be a good service model for you.

According to the present invention as described above, in the situation of losing market share due to the rapid growth of mobile phones and the Internet, wireline operators can induce new landline calls through real-time free call intelligent network service, and service users with a discount rate effect Unexpected fun on the phone.

In addition, if this service is combined with the increasingly competitive wireless operators or wired / wireless operators, it can be used as a service for securing new customers and satisfying customers. In particular, mobile phones store many phone numbers in memory and use them, so that users can enjoy the service without having to press the ID number, which can be a good service for securing new customers.

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be modified and modified within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention, such modifications and changes should be regarded as belonging to the following claims. will be.
