The prior art is a service currently provided to the general subscriber, and there are 700 services similar to the information fee storage service. The 700 service concentration bureau analyzes 7 digits consisting of 700-XXXX and if the type of information desired by the subscriber is the same nationwide, reroutes to the 700 service gateway station located in the neighboring metropolitan area and then the remaining 4 By resending the digits, information is provided from an audiotex system connected to 700 service gateways. [Review on the Current Status and Development Prospect of Telephone Information (700) Service, Telecommunications Research Vol. 5 No. 4, No. 4, 1991.12.] In this way, in the conventional 700 service, regardless of the line capacity of the information provider, There is a disadvantage that routing is not possible depending on the line capacity of the information provider because it is to be routed.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems with the prior art, in the information fee storage agency service among the various types of intelligent network services, the information providers have a large number of telephone lines to accommodate a large amount of information request call, In view of the fact that information services want to have a large number of telephone lines with the same number for the convenience of the user, considering the capacity of the line where the same telephone number should actually be connected, The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for storing the relative cost of subscriber routing service subscribers, which can maximize the efficiency of the telephone line by using the stored and stored data values.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, in the method for storing the information payment storage service subscriber routing connection relative rate applied to the intelligent network service control / management system, the information payment storage service subscriber call distribution table is a PR subscriber number field It is composed of and field division ratio, each field stores the relative ratio that can be connected to the telephone line to be connected actually, and extracts the stored value by selecting one field from each field using the relative ratio stored in each field. The value of the index of the field of the information fee storage service subscriber called party number table is specified.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment according to the present invention;

FIG. 1 is a hardware configuration diagram of an intelligent network service control / management system to which the present invention is applied. From the viewpoint of a network providing an intelligent network service, the present system includes a service control point (SCP) as a service control node and a SMS (Service) as a service management system. It combines the functions of both systems in a combination of management systems.

This system is a system that controls various communication network services by providing an appropriate response when a query is input from a service exchanger. A transaction is input through a CMP 1 connected to a signal network. The input transaction is in the form of a signal protocol message, so the CCP (2,3), the front end processor, processes the signal connection control and transaction handler in the protocol layer processing, and the result is again passed through the LAN device (9,10) SLP (5,6) processes the dialogue handler on the protocol, and by service-specific logic data existing in the service processing memory database (11,12) of SLP (5,6) in order to respond to each service. Generate a response and send the result back in reverse order.

Here, the redundancy of each processing device is composed for the purpose of pursuing the high performance and high reliability of the system. Under normal circumstances, transaction processing is balanced between the front and back processors (2, 3, 5, 6), and if one factor is abnormal, all the load sharing is performed by the normal processor.

In addition, the OAP (7) is a processor that manages the operation and maintenance of the system. When the system is started or initialized for the first time, or is required for system operation such as system configuration and operation data management, processor monitoring and switching, and restarting. Do this. For this purpose, the system node database 15 is placed in the OAP 7. There is a MAP (4) processor that replaces the function of the OAP (7) to ensure that the system operation without interruption.

In the SLP 5 and 6, service logic data exists in the form of service processing memory databases 11 and 12 and service subscriber databases 13 and 14 for service processing. This redundant management is characterized by the fact that service call processing requires a response in real time. To satisfy this, the service processing memory databases 11 and 12 are configured as memory resident databases, and the service logic data is backed up. And service subscriber databases 13 and 14 for recovery.

The service subscriber data are distributed and stored in the SMP (8), SLP1 (5), and SLP2 (6) in order to provide the information fee storage service in the system, which are respectively the service subscriber master database 16 and the service processing memory. Databases 11 and 12 and service subscriber databases 13 and 14; Here, the information fee storage agency service processing database is a general term for the information fee storage agent service processing memory databases 11 and 12 and the information fee storage agent service subscriber databases 13 and 14. Among them, the service processing memory database 11, 12 means a part residing in memory in order to satisfy the characteristic that the service call processing requires a response in real time, and the service subscriber database 13, 14 is a service logic. The part stored on disk for data backup and recovery.

The SMP 8 is a processor for managing subscriber data management and service operation status of an intelligent network service. The SMP 8 has a service subscriber master database 16 in the SMP 8 in order to minimize the influence on real-time service call processing.

The database of the intelligent network service control / management system is composed of various types such as a service database, a node database, and a master database according to the type and characteristics of the database. The service database is divided into a service subscriber database, a service operation database, and a service local database. Among these various types of databases, the databases directly related to the present invention are service subscriber databases 13 and 14. The service subscriber databases 13 and 14 are used to store and utilize subscriber data for accommodating the requirements for the intelligent network service for each intelligent network service subscriber.

The HP 9000 Series 855 system is used as the hardware of the SLP1 / 2 (Service Logic Processor 1/2) (5,6), which is equipped with information service agency service database. The system's main memory device is 96 megabytes, and shared memory is 64 megabytes. The real-time database software used in this system is "SHP RTDB A.01.00", which is a memory resident database and a relational database.

The information fee storage agency service is a service that provides a network operator, a network operator, to receive the information fee that is the cost of the service to the user. A network operator refers to a service that refunds a balance after deducting a predetermined fee and a call charge to an information provider after requesting a sum of information charges and a call charge as a service use fee. The service functions include basic functions such as information fee storage agency and voice guidance function. Optional functions include rate change per day, national representative number, short-range priority routing, mass call, call distribution, call restriction, measurement and reporting function. And subscriber control function. Among these functions, the features that need to be stored in the database form in the intelligent network service control / management system include the national representative number, short-range priority routing, call distribution, and temporary rate change.
