Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a device for measuring traffic related to calls passing through an exchange, which enables collection of detailed traffic data while distributing functions, thereby making it possible to flexibly make various changes such as functional expansion. The present invention relates to a detailed traffic measurement device capable of performing detailed traffic measurement.

Conventional devices of this type include (i) devices that consist of either a trunk observation section or a marker observation section, and (ii) devices that consist of both a trunk observation section and a marker observation section that are inseparable (for example, Showa 54-
(Refer to No. 27706, “Traffic Measurement Method”). The above format (i) has the disadvantage that the structure is insufficient when detailed traffic data is required, and the format (ii) has an integrated structure, so it lacks flexibility when changing functions. In addition to lack of flexibility when expanding functions or changing the scale of equipment depending on the type of station, it also has drawbacks such as difficulty in extracting only part of the data.

The present invention has been made in view of the shortcomings of the conventional devices, and its purpose is to provide a flexible traffic measuring device that is capable of collecting detailed data and that can easily expand its functions. There is a particular thing.

The details of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, in which 10 is a trunk, 20 is a trunk observation section, and 4 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
0 is a marker, 50 is a marker observation unit, 60 is a communication control unit, 70 is a mass storage device, 80 is a modem, 9
0 is other peripheral devices.

Trunk 10 is a multiple outgoing trunk (OGT)
11, an incoming trunk (ICT) 12, and an intra-office trunk (IOT) 13, and information lines are drawn out from these various trunks to a trunk observation unit 20.
The trunk observation section 20 is composed of a trunk interface section (TI) 21, a trunk observation section control processor (TOCP) 22, and a trunk observation section memory (TOMEM) 23. TI21
accommodates a large number of information lines drawn out from various trunks within the trunk 10, but has sufficiently high impedance characteristics so as not to affect the operation of the trunks. Various information indicating the operating status of the trunk, such as empty/occupied trunk, presence/absence of response signal, etc., is output on these information lines.
TOCP22 periodically scans the information line accommodated in TI21 to detect trunk operation information, processes this information into various traffic information, and
Record on TOMEM23.

The marker 40 consists of a large number of calling markers (DM) 42 and connection markers (CM) 41, and information lines are drawn out from each of these markers to the marker observation unit 50. The marker observation section 50 is composed of a marker interface section (MI) 51, a marker observation section control processor (MOCP) 52, and a memory for marker observation section (MOMEM) 53. MI51
accommodates a large number of information lines drawn out from various markers in the marker 40, but has sufficient high impedance characteristics so as not to affect the operation of the markers. On these information lines, information indicating the operating state of the marker, that is, the operating state of various relays within the marker, and an interrupt signal for interrupting the MOCP 52 from the marker 40 are output.
These interrupt signals are generated, for example, along with the operation of the HM relay, DIS relay, BTR relay, etc. within the marker.

In response to an interrupt from the marker 40, the MOCP 52 scans the related marker information line to retrieve information indicating the operating status of the marker, and based on this information, determines the type of call (local call, long distance call, etc.), and the route. This processed data is processed into various types of traffic information, such as information, and recorded in the MOMEM 53 along with the original information such as the called subscriber number scanned from the marker.
Traffic information that can be detected from the operating status of various relays in the marker includes LOG, TOG, LS,
Internal calls from the combination of TS and TER relay operations,
It can detect the types of local calls, long distance calls, incoming calls, and tandem calls. In addition, sufficient traffic information can be collected, such as route information can be detected from the operating status of RH -, RT _- , and RU _- relays, and called subscriber numbers _, etc. can be detected from the operating status of A _- to J _- relays and OF relays. can do. The marker information taken in by MOCP52 includes connections used to correspond to trunk information, such as ICT/OGT storage location information detected by the operation of TB _- , TBE/D, TG _- , TS _- relays, etc. in the marker. Data is also included.

The communication control unit 60 includes a communication control processor (CCP) 62 and a communication control unit memory (CMEM).
It consists of 63. CCP62 is
The data transferred to the TOMEM 23 and MOMEM 53 is transferred to the CMEM 63, and from there is further transferred to a large capacity storage device 70 such as a floppy disk, which has a larger capacity than the memories 23, 53, and 63 of each section described above. Furthermore CCP62
transfers data to a remote traffic management center 100 via a modem 80 as necessary.
To control this series of data transfers, an input/output device 9 consisting of a printer, an operation panel, etc.
0 is used.

As explained above, in the present invention, the trunk observation section 20 and the marker observation section 50 operate completely independently. Even though they operate independently in this way, the trunk observation unit 20 can process the empty/busy information of the OGT 11 and independently determine the usage rate for each route. Furthermore, the marker observation unit 50 can determine the number of originating calls and the number of overflow calls for each location, and this information can be used for control such as regulation of outgoing calls for each location. Furthermore, the traffic data collected and processed from the trunk section 20 and the traffic data collected and processed from the marker section 50 can be matched in the traffic management center 100 or the like.

As described above, since the present invention includes both the trunk observation section 20 and the marker observation section 50, it is possible to collect detailed traffic data, and furthermore, the traffic observation section 20 and the marker observation section 50 are Since they operate independently of each other, they have the advantage of being easy to make changes such as functional expansion.
