Now, the ID (identifier) of a given public telephone network users or LINE (circuit) number are unique numbers of numeral in order.Such ID digital number (and other) is fixed against the network user's the sum and the growth rate of prediction thereof.Network operator and user community obviously are inclined to and are selected to make circuit number short as best one can.Yet allow some leeway for the growth of giving user community, make the various possible combined number of circuit number exceed tens percent at least traditionally than tangible number of users.Yet many operators consider that their foundation structure should be able to support the main change of numbering system, for example in order to make Subscriber Number increase the surplus of an order of magnitude, numeral of existing circuit number increase.The result, support the foundation structure of most intelligent network now, particularly numeral is a kind of, can be at once be transformed into a new numbering with more than character from the numbering of a given circuit number numeral, simultaneously and the IDC that is associated of new numbering automatically send to the recipient with additional numeral.In text of the present invention, still there is idle place the memory location of storing the ID (IDC) of the calling party on the called ID, is called " expansion identification code " here (EIC).This EIC relates to the calling party phone number and is (CEIC), and recipient's telephone number is (REIC).

Therefore (be called " extended coding message aspect " later on) according to a further aspect of the invention, the part of the current not usefulness of the EIC in the intelligent network will be utilized to be increased in the inventory of the message that sends between calling party and the recipient and needn't increase to the number of, lines that sends the message groups arrangement of expanding.According to one embodiment of present invention, the unused bytes (hereinafter referred to as " least significant bit " (LSP)) that at least one character or other numerical value (constituting the code element (code element) of a sign indicating number section) reside in current C EIC field is attached on the IDC section, has therefore increased the message number that can send.

As an example, a circuit considering between this calling party and recipient, to link and an idle memory cell (constituting LSP), this memory cell can keep the numerical value of 0-9, represents ten different message.As this sender that the numerical value (deciding on the message that will send) of a 0-9 is continuous to the IDC back, it is that transparent code element is directed to receiving terminal from calling terminal together to intelligent network that telephone exchange will be called out this related by circuit.A proper device is visited this designated memory locations and is extracted the numerical value that exists wherein out at recipient's a end.Inquiring about a list just is not difficult source codec.Use this method, as long as a physical circuit just can be simulated what is called " many-one " foundation structure.

The advantage of this scheme that proposes mainly is the simple of it.The intelligence switching network is still only considered MSP, and the thing that the device of a special use or module remainder will be done is exactly visit and the message of extracting relevant LSP out and decoding and obtaining requiring thus.

The scheme of the message contact aspect of this extended coding that is suggested of above-mentioned interpretation, this scheme consider that one has LSP to be attached to telephone line on the IDC, are familiar with professional personage and have understood that certainly this is in many may the variation one.Like this, other code element may be on LSP recipient's telephone number of being attached to calling (constituting REIC), and certainly, also supposition has one here for the transparent available field (section) of intelligent network.(y≤x), LSP can be placed in any y the memory cell in x the storage available y memory cell of LSP formation if x idle memory cell certainly arranged in EIC.

Therefore from broad terms, message code can comprise a succession of element (element), wherein have each self-contained MSP+LSP at least, wherein MSP represents calling party and/or recipient's telephone number, and constitutes LSP by one or several idle memory cell.Each memory cell can be preserved a numeral or other codes, and condition is that this can extract the device of code decoding, decoding and/or obtain the message of a requirement thus.As described above, in the past time can also constitute another code element of a code segment in first time value and between taking out stitches, and can send the inventory of message from the calling party to recipient with further increase.To give an example later on, if desired, the order of element can be significant to decoding.This scheme can be used for the circuit of one or more, wherein the telephone line of one or several calling can constitute (or several) code element, and/or the telephone line of one or several reception can constitute (or several) code element, increased the quantity of message significantly thus and need not similarly expand corresponding foundation structure.

In applied environment of the present invention, therefore message coding can be attached to the code segment that comprises a code element at least, this code element of code segment is the LSP of appointment mode, the other types of code segment are ring time for example, the calling party telephone wire, recipient's telephone wire and other all possible requests and take.

Therefore the present invention provides a method, and this method is used in intelligent network, and the telephone line from the telephone line of at least one calling terminal at least one receiving terminal sends and select an encoded messages from least one message groups.This method comprises:

(a) at this transmitting terminal, message coding is made it to comprise at least a code segment, this code segment is transparent for intelligent network;

(b) pass through call at least, this encoded messages is sent to the telephone line of at least one above-mentioned receiving terminal from the telephone line of at least one above-mentioned calling terminal by circuit;

(c) at this receiving terminal, receive but do not answer this call at least, and thus with this encoded messages decoding.

Therefore the present invention also provides a system, and this system is used in intelligent network, and the telephone line from the telephone line of at least one calling terminal at least one receiving terminal sends and select an encoded messages from least one message groups.Comprise:

(a) at this transmitting terminal, the encoder of this message coding, make this message comprise a code segment at least, this code segment is transparent for intelligent network;

(b) pass through call at least, this encoded messages is sent to the router of the telephone line of at least one above-mentioned receiving terminal from the telephone line of at least one above-mentioned calling terminal by circuit;

(c) at this receiving terminal, receive but do not answer this call at least, and the receiver of the source codec of thus this having been encoded.

At first note the explanation block diagram that between communicating

pair

10 and 12, transmits a communication plan of data that Fig. 1 represents.Communication medium 14 is telephone networks, and this telephone network can be a Cellular Networks, wireless network or both combinations.This telephone network can be a general network or intelligent network or by the network of both combinations.Either party can be an operation center or an operating

point.Communicating pair

10 and 12 can be equipped with many telephone lines (being that they are multiloop loop systems) or a telephone line (being that they are single-path systems).

In the typical communication plan that Fig. 2 represents, data transmit between an independent operation center 16 and many operating points 18, and three operating points for simplicity only draw among the figure.Suggestion, but be not necessary, operation center 16 is multiloop loop systems and operating point 18 is some single-path systems.Though an operation center can be a full-automatic computing system, but it is typical, rather than necessary, operation center is handled by a dispatcher or service organization, as for operating point can be, for example, automatic vending machine, the government utility instrument, or require from service centre's reception or polling message and send the mobile attendant of message to service centre.Data transmission message is more more effective than intelligent network between two independent line traffic both sides.

Narrate in more detail according to the present invention with later on, data are to be called out one or some telephone lines of a second party by a first party, and in fact second party does not answer this calling, thereby between communicating pair is such as 10 and 12, or more especially transmit between operation center 16 and all operating points 18.Usually, by pointing out that telephone line is called out, perhaps send to call out and transmit data from that telephone line.Also by pointing out that time in the past transmits data to taking out stitches from the phone first time " ring ".Can also transmit data by the state of pointing out the called line road, state just is provided with a binary code because the called line road is set to " spare time " or " doing ".

Though the communication of data is two-way,, represent that wherein a calling party 20 communicates by letter with a recipient 22 by telephone network 14 below with reference to Fig. 3.

Notice now that Fig. 4 represents the broad aspect according to the present invention, the key step of the method for the present invention that this calling party 20 uses by telephone network 14 and these recipient 22 signal posts.Send at least call from least one calling party phone circuit at least one recipient's telephone line step 24 calling party 20.In step 26, recipient 22 receives but this call at least of not answering that this calling party sends, and has transmitted a code thus between calling party and recipient.In step 28, determine a message from the message code that sends, for example consult a list that message code is relevant with message.

The first aspect of the method according to this invention, code is transmitted like this, points out that by recipient 22 that recipient's telephone line called out by calling party 20 but do not answer the calling that this calling party sends.In addition, if this calling party sends a more than calling, this recipient also points out the called order of recipient's telephone line.Called recipient's telephone line provides the code of transmission according to called order.

For the method according to first aspect present invention is described, consider such situation, wherein recipient 22 ten telephone lines are arranged and calling party 20 by 2,5,9 sequence call recipient telephone line.If the combination of each number of from 1 to 10 and each number of from 1 to 10 is relevant with a given message code, and calling party 20 and recipient 22 know, point out that so the called telephone line of recipient is by 2,5,9 order, recipient 22 receives a message and does not answer the recipient called telephone line by telephone network 14 from calling party 20.Other message will be relevant with 5,2,9 combination.Also have the other message will be relevant with 5,2 combination, more have a message will with one number, relevant such as 4.

Therefore, message can transmit by telephone network both sides in communication, and does not require the call of sending is answered.This basic principle of the present invention also is used in the present invention aspect other of following explanation.

According to the method for second aspect present invention, only relate to the operation of intelligent network, point out from which calling party phone circuit to this recipient's phone line call by this recipient.In addition, call out if the calling party sends more than once, this recipient also points out to send the order of calling.

For example, suppose that this calling party has ten telephone lines, and this calling party sends calling to this recipient by 2,3,7,10 order from circuit.This recipient points out by 2,3, recipient's telephone line of 7, No. 10 calling party phone line call-ups and by the calling of sending of this order.This recipient does not answer the calling that these send once more.Owing to point out which calling party phone circuit to send calling and order thereof from, a message just transmits by telephone network 14 between calling party 20 and recipient 22, and the calling that the recipient does not have answer to send.

According to the method for third aspect present invention, on the step that Fig. 4 represents, increase by a step, this recipient prepares at least one recipient's telephone line that is in line be busy or line idle state.Five recipient's telephone lines are for example arranged, and with " 0 " mark circuit busy condition, with one token line idle state.If the first, the second, the the three, the four and the 5th recipient's telephone line is configured to 0,1,1,0,1 respectively.This recipient's circuit of this caller calls be from circuit at the beginning to circuit five end, and point out the state of every circuit.This calling party with such method from this recipient's

poll code

0,1,1,0,1.Code and a message of knowing are in advance interrelated, just can determine a message from the code of poll.Should be noted that with one " line be busy " or " line idle " code and be equivalent to communicate by a binary code.

Pointing out the state of calling party or recipient's telephone line or recipient's telephone line, is not the unique method of can not answer call by telephone line in communicating pair transmission data.Another possible method is that this recipient calculates the ring first time from a calling party's call to the ringing number taking out stitches.Yet the less stable of this method is because the ringing number that is sent by this calling party can not usually equal the ringing number that this recipient receives.Otherwise, the method according to this invention fourth aspect, a code is to transmit like this, points out together that by this recipient which recipient's telephone line is called out, and in the time of a clock trigger impulse to the past between taking out stitches.

Equally, the method according to this invention the 5th aspect, a code is to transmit like this, points out which bar calling party phone circuit to send calling from together by this recipient, and in the time of a clock trigger impulse to the past between taking out stitches.

Following Shuo Ming Fig. 5 to 14 resolves many certain embodiments of module of the present invention and method.Be familiar with professional personage and understood and the invention is not restricted to the certain embodiments that illustrates among these figure, and the transformation of understanding these certain embodiments still within the scope of the present invention.

Note Fig. 5 now, represent embodiment, the block diagram of the module of necessity of the masters of a message contact according to a recommendation of the present invention.

Central processing unit 52 is a message code generator (being that it is an encoder).As a translater, message conversion is become the telephone number sequence list that will will dial successively by communication controler 54 in most applications 52.At least one is connected to a module or a line interface 56 on the corresponding circuit communication controler 54 usefulness.Should be noted that each module or line interface fully enough carry out the operation of message contact masters unit, comprise from message of message contact passive side's poll.Yet plurality of modules and line interface are received and they corresponding circuits separately, make the operation of masters unit of message contact more effective, and particularly it is as the situation of receiver double as transmitter.

Intelligent network data decoder 58 (only relating to the intelligent network operation) frequently, but not necessarily, between the ring first time and ring for the second time, the data demodulates of this caller identification sign indicating number and message time of advent, these data are modulated by the network operator at network switch place, and they are all sent to communication controler 54, and controller leaches " illegal calling line ", and promptly leaching those is not the calling telephone number of registering as the member who participates in no connect hours code system.Note the situation at digital network, the intelligent network data are according to the data protocol-decoding that is used for digital network.Caller identification sign indicating number/message code decoder 60 produces caller identification sign indicating number (only being the CN operation) and calling message code, and they are sent to IDM analyzer 62 (processor), analyzer gives calling message whole meanings, comprises the source of message and the content of message.This message code no matter be calling and outgoing message, preferably is made up of to minimum effective unit the highest effective unit (the most significant message element).Utilize this character, can be to the message of a part, even also finish fully just to decode when a message associated process.

Message contact passive side poll controller 64 and communication controler 54 co-operations are called out a message contact passive side, specially prepd message of poll by line.

Module 52 to 64 is determined a hard news contact masters structure.Some extension wires jointly constitute a queue module and are jointly indicated by reference number 70, are used for all calling party's queuings, to avoid the confusion of message associated process.Note that every extension wire all is connected with one " doing "/" spare time " tone generator, allow communication controler 54 that line status is transformed to " doing " and opposite conversion from " spare time ".

Should be noted that if the masters unit 50 of message contact does not operate under any environment, but in an intelligent network as a polled side, the polled circuit and the data wire of standard share, queue module 70 is just dispensable.If message contact masters receives message from an independent communication party (being typically an operation center), what queue module neither be necessary in intelligence or common network operation.If the masters unit 50 of message contact is not the multipath receiver as a standard, so usually be to need queue module 70 during with a general network co-operation.If during, just only need queue module 70 with poll in order to confirm with an intelligent network co-operation.Using and operating with reference to specific of the extension wire of formation queue module 70 should be used as detailed explanation.Below the major function of every circuit is done simple the introduction.

Queue module 70 comprises 72, one in a piece of news registration circuit and confirms that 74, one in registration circuit is answered circuit 76 and a poll is registered circuit 78.Article one, the circuit that is utilized the general network operation to call out by a calling party is a message registration circuit 72.If circuit is " spare time ", this calling party just can be undertaken by the message associated process of a hope, if circuit is " hurrying ", this calling party with regard to having no right to proceed the message contact needs again message related to calls register circuit 72 when it is " spare time ".

Poll registration circuit 78 is to be used in this calling party of identification and to notify this recipient to prepare a message code relevant with this specific calling party.It is also by switching to " doing " state to message registration circuit 72 and poll registration circuit 78 together, to stop other current calling party's visits simultaneously.

Answer circuit 76 and be used for checking whether a Messages-Waiting calling party is arranged.If there is a message waiting for, after registering the circuit inquiry, this calling party just is set to " doing " answering circuit 76.

Confirm that registration circuit 74 can be used for asking an affirmation from the recipient, confirm to confirm to have received a proper messages code, thereby stop this message transport process.

Notice that now Fig. 6 represents an explanation block diagram according to message contact passive side of the present invention unit 80 requisite modules.

The message code of receiving is decoded in the combination 82 of central processing unit and nonvolatile memory, and the message coding of a message contact masters poll.Source codec utilizes many data wires 84 (expression has N bar line among the figure) to carry out, and every line is connected to a modulator-demodulator or line interface 86, is connected to again then on the corresponding circuit.Every data wire 84 is connected to one " doing "/" spare time " tone generator, and tone generator allows central processing unit 82 that line status is switched to " doing " and opposite switching from " spare time ".Be stressed that to have only the polled just requirement of recipient that " doing "/" spare time " tone generator is arranged.Data wire 84 is called out according to priority by a message contact masters.The called circuit of suggestion article one is the highest effective code element, and the called circuit of the last item is minimum effective code element (the least significantelement of the code).For the operation of general network, the prefix of code is calling party's a identification code, and for the operation of intelligent network, only message code is encoded by the calling that the masters of message contact is sent.

Queue module 90 comprises that 92, one in a piece of news registration circuit confirms to register circuit 94, one answers circuit 96 and a poll is registered circuit 98.Queue module 90 is used for all calling party's queuings, to avoid the confusion of message associated process.Each bar of 92,94,96 and 98 all circuits all is connected to one " doing "/" spare time " tone generator, and tone generator allows central processing unit 82 that line status is switched to " doing " and opposite switching from " spare time ".92,94,96 and 98 all circuits all are connected respectively to modulator-demodulator or line interface 102,104,106 and 108.92,94,96 and the basic operation and 72,74 of 98 all circuits, 76 is identical with the basic operation of 78 all circuits, therefore repeated description no longer.Yet it should be noted that message code registration circuit is no in the intelligent network operation, and confirm that it is that a message contact is passive useful just now that registration and answer registration circuit have only this recipient.Poll registration circuit and all " hurrying "/" spare time " tone generator are connected to 84 of N bar data circuits and use for polling operation.

Intelligent network data decoder 110 is used in the operation that intelligent network extracts this caller identification sign indicating number and the message data time of advent, decoding agreement by demodulation or digital network, allow the calling party on every circuit of ONLINE RECOGNITION, the result can receive and the some input message code of demodulation simultaneously.

Message contact passive side, or operation center, but often as a recipient of the calling of being sent by message contact masters, usually according to a multichannel configuration, wherein each message contact passive side's number of, lines is according to the principle of " the more the better " in this operation center.Multi-thread meaning in the data transfer procedure more flexibility and/or to every message needs only the shorter delivery time.It should be noted that message contact masters can be according to a such identical construction of message contact passive side of representing among Fig. 6 as a recipient.

As the first step of any message code decoding, it is necessary identifying the calling party.A message contact active direction recipient send, must prove its identity to this recipient, and a message contact masters is ask also necessary its identity of proof of a message from other square wheels, and like this, other can prepare a specific message for current calling party just now.

If communication is undertaken by an intelligent network, this caller identification sign indicating number and message time of advent, usually between the ring of many callings for the second time for the first time, be modulated on the carrier frequency frequency of the signal of communication that sends by telephone network, and directly be connected to by modulator-demodulator on recipient's circuit of caller calls or line interface extraction by one.Digital network such as ISDN, sends the part of this caller identification sign indicating number as " shaking hands " communication protocol between this calling party and this recipient.Modulator-demodulator or line interface can be an appropriate modulator-demodulator or an electronic unit, and these devices are in order to transfer to extract caller identification sign indicating number and the message time of advent and special by separating.

If communication is to be undertaken by a general network based on more than one potential calling party.This caller identification sign indicating number is encoded as the prefix of a message code.The coding of a caller identification sign indicating number is based on a series of callings to recipient's calling circuit.A caller identification sign indicating number can be encoded by any predetermined main component.

This caller identification sign indicating number is that the order according to called calling circuit provides.For example suppose that a recipient has ten calling circuits, is designated as recipient's circuit 1 to 10.Suppose that again a caller identification sign indicating number is this recipient of caller calls of 1707.In order to discern this calling party, this caller calls recipient circuit 1 is taken out stitches then, and the calling receiver circuit 7 then, take out stitches then, and the calling receiver circuit 10 then, takes out stitches then, last calling receiver circuit 7.

Example as previously discussed, a recipient has only 10 circuits, can nearly distinguish out this caller identification sign indicating number between 9 calling partys with call, or with 2 times, 3 times, 4 callings, nearly distinguishing out this caller identification sign indicating number between 99,999,9999 calling partys respectively.

In any case, the recipient that 10 circuits are arranged uses respectively 2 times, and 3 times, 4 callings can nearly distinguished out this caller identification sign indicating number between 99,9999,999999,99999999 calling partys.

Attempt in a period for fear of many calling partys for general network operation crossover, to/transmit data and produce interference from same source, before the cataloged procedure of this caller identification sign indicating number, in the situation that sends a message, must register circuit by first message related to calls code, in the situation of a message of poll, must call out poll registration circuit earlier.Require to distinguish relevant unless these two circuits all are called as the registration circuit together with those two circuits.

If the registration circuit is " spare time ", this calling party just is authorized to carry out the cataloged procedure of caller identification sign indicating number, and this recipient registers circuit will switch to " doing " attitude, to allow this calling party after the cataloged procedure of finishing the caller identification sign indicating number, continue message contact (or poll) process, the calling party who does not have other calls out and the interference message associated process simultaneously.If on the other hand, the registration circuit is " hurrying ", this calling party just is under an embargo to authorize and carries out message contact (or poll) process, and must continue to call out the registration circuit is " spare time " up to it.Like this, a registration circuit no matter it is a piece of news code registration circuit or a poll registration circuit, is forced asynchronous calling party " queuing ".

Obviously, in the practical solution of many calling party was arranged, in order to make the even running of message contact (or poll) process, it was indispensable using a caller identification sign indicating number.Therefore will the Code And Decode process of caller identification sign indicating number be elaborated.

Notice that at first Fig. 7 represents a flow chart, the caller identification sign indicating number is decoded by a recipient who utilizes the operation of intelligent network or general network.If 200 is to utilize an intelligent network, so the demodulation of calling out in the received intelligent network data of step 202 origin words and decoded.For digital network, a used data agreement of the data based digital network of received intelligent network is decoded.In step 204, this caller identification sign indicating number and message are produced by decoded data the time of advent.The decode procedure of this identification code is finished now for intelligent network, and if desired, step 206 can begin source codec or coding.

If in step 200 is to utilize a general network, so call out a registration circuit (a piece of news registration circuit or a poll registration circuit) in step 208.When receiving a calling for one in the registration circuit, step 212, one " hurrying "/" spare time " tone generator switches to " doing " attitude to this circuit.Point out, if this multipath reception side all uses one group of same circuit in receiving message and polling procedure, when starting message contact or polling procedure, this message registration and this poll registration circuit all should switch to " doing " and finish up to specific process so.If yet the data wire that this recipient uses two components to open, one group be used for message process and one group be used for polling procedure, so two processes are crossover and separating not, has only the registration circuit relevant with specific process just to be called out and be set to " doing ".

Start " overtime " process in step 214.Step 216 is explanations, and one comprises the caller identification sign indicating number of LI element (element) by element ground decoding one by one.The call number i that establishes code element in step 218 is zero.Step 220 to 230 defines a circulation, receives the element of this identification code therein.In step 220, code element (code element) index i is added 1, check in step 222 whether " overtime " just stops the decode procedure of this identification code so, and relevant registration circuit (message code and/or poll) is set to " spare time " if arrived " overtime " in step 224.If also do not arrive " overtime ", so at step 226 ni bar receiving lines with regard to ring.If measure service time, just point out that ring is up to the time T Ri that takes out stitches.In step 228, i element of this caller identification sign indicating number is decoded from a database.If measure service time, i element of this caller identification sign indicating number is given by ni and TRi.If do not measure service time, i element of caller identification sign indicating number is just given by ni.In step 230, check last element (I=LI) that whether has arrived this caller identification sign indicating number.If also do not arrive last element of this caller identification sign indicating number, control just forwards step 220 to and calls out next bar recipient circuit.If on the other hand, arrived last element of this caller identification sign indicating number, just prepared completely the caller identification sign indicating number and can decode in step 232 so.The decode procedure of identification code is finished now for general network, and if desired, step 206 can begin source codec or coding.

Note Fig. 8 now, represent the flow chart that a calling party utilizes intelligence or common network operation that the caller identification sign indicating number is encoded.If be to use the intelligent network operation in step 300, the coding of caller identification sign indicating number is that well-behaved not needing done again, and under these circumstances, the caller identification sign indicating number is modulated on the carrier frequency frequency of the signal of communication that sends by telephone network.For the situation of digital network, the intelligent network data that are sent out are according to a data protocol code that is used for digital network.In step 302, control is just produced from the cataloged procedure of caller identification sign indicating number then, and to other may be the coding or the decode procedure of message code.

If be to use general network operation in step 300, control from step 304 so or transfer to the poll registration, promptly step 306 to 310 is perhaps transferred to the message code registration, i.e. step 312 to 316.Though this is not a complete part of identification code coding, obviously when recipient of this caller calls, this calling party calls out for a reason, for this reason, recipient's logic when it come to, before receiving a caller identification sign indicating number, should do corresponding registration, how continue down so that this recipient knows after the identification code that receives this calling party.After registering successfully, the calling party waits for T second, or K ring, takes out stitches then.If the registration circuit is " spare time ", the registration that just hits pay dirk.The calling party after the recipient registers success, begins " overtime " process in step 320 in step 318.

Prepare this identification code coding this calling party of step 322.Specific practice is to determine a series of (such as, LI bar) called recipient's circuit, if use time measurement, according to a code conversion table to the called lane assignment of each a bar TR ring time.Here emphasize that the measurement of ring time chooses wantonly,, just increased an extra degree of freedom aspect the message code setting up if select for use.The caller identification sign indicating number but is not necessary preferably, and making first code element is the highest effective unit, and last code element is minimum effective unit.If this method guarantees that some other reasons does not send the not end of caller identification sign indicating number, the recipient can know at least from a group has the calling party of same code beginning has a calling party to be called out.

Be set to zero at step 324 symbol index i.Circulation that this caller identification sign indicating number is encoded of step 326 to 340 definition.Add 1 and " overtime " checked at step 326 symbol index i in step 328.If arrived " overtime ", just stop the cataloged procedure and the first party release of this caller identification sign indicating number in step 330, cataloged procedure (step 304) starts anew.If do not arrive " overtime ", just call out ni bar recipient circuit in step 332.If ni bar recipient circuit just " hurries " in step 336, TB second was also waited in this first party release before calling out ni bar recipient circuit once more.If ni bar recipient circuit " spare time " is just in step 338, this calling party waited for K ring or TRi second before taking out stitches.Be noted that if without time measurement just when calling out every recipient's circuit, this calling party will wait for a same time for calling out and connect each bar recipient circuit (such as T second).To once check in step 340, check whether last element (i=LI) of caller identification sign indicating number is encoded.If last element is not still encoded, control just forwards step 326 to, calls out next bar recipient circuit according to this caller identification sign indicating number.If on the other hand, last element is encoded, so in step 342, whole caller identification sign indicating number is all encoded.Now, for a general network, the coding of this caller identification sign indicating number is finished, and if desired, can begin message coding or decoding in step 342.

In case received and definite caller identification sign indicating number, just can receive the message code that a calling party sends.Importantly message code has a very sure structure.The basic concepts that below explanation is related to the structure of message.

Constitute message code preferably, but be not necessary, making first code element is the highest effective unit, and last code element is minimum effective unit.If this method guarantees to have lost the end of message, at least received the pith of message.According to this method, if relevant data will be added on the basic message, these data should be the suffix of message code.

A message code is relevant with a message by a database, and this database makes specific circuit (being specific circuit index) and some numberings, word, and message or their combination are relevant.A message code can have an element arbitrarily, and these elements are determined by first (the highest effectively) element in database.

Suggestion, " code structure " that comprises " group " and " subgroup " will constitute in this wise, and it will allow from first element, and there are one " decodable " and useful implication in the subgroup that each of code is continuous.

Receive and transmit message code according to commercial applicating example explanation based on no connect hours message contact below.According to the present invention, in all examples, send and call out and not answer.That is, one " the no connect hours calls out " is described with " calling " this word.Have again, below in these examples a slash "/" expression select.A/B/C for example, expression or A or B or C.

First example be from/to fully/no connect hours of part automation services point (for example automatic vending machine) ground reception/transmission message code.Consider four kinds of different situations.Supposition below:

(a) NE incident can be experienced and distinguish to automation services point or intelligent controller, and these incidents can be indicated, and perhaps in its subsystem has technical inefficacy, perhaps needs to replenish to be placed on on-the-spot stock.

(b) operation center of control NA (quantity) individual service point (or, point of sale) utilizes the preferably NO bar data circuit of intelligent network operation, reception/transmission data, these circuits comprise message registration circuit, confirm the registration circuit, answer circuit and poll registration circuit.

(c) consider three kinds of typical message:

(i) power-fail.

(ii) I counter (at NC, in the middle of 16) vending machine---motor is motionless.

The (iii) combination and the quantity (at NQ, in the middle of 128) of the automation services point stock that should replenish.

Situation-1: NE incident (NE＜26), the wherein relevant data of some record are reported with NO=25 bar data circuit by operation center.

Require one in 25 circuits to send once independent calling in this situation (being the intelligent network operation) message (i).Yet message (ii) requires a time calling, and explanation was for the first time lost efficacy, and vending machine---the numbering of motor is described for the second time.Message (iii) requires three callings, and a replenishment of inventory order is described for the first time, the combination and the quantity j of other twice explanation replenishment of inventory, and with the coding (i.e. 25 lines or its integer) of 25-base, first of two code elements contains the meaning of part here.

Like this, be expressly understood, though message (i) and message code (ii) be based on than the more sign indicating number of an element (promptly more than call), though receiving first code element afterwards message get in touch and be interrupted, they still have a very clear and definite implication.

Situation-2: operation center utilizes the individual main incident of NO=200 bar circuit report NE (NE＜26), and wherein some incident has the combination of k relevant data, but the sum that may make up adds up to NP proof NP＜200.

In this situation, whole three message (i), (ii) and (iii), as long as send to the once independent calling of operation center from the automatic vending point.

Situation-3: utilize the operation center (as intelligent network message contact side initiatively) of 25/200 circuit to switch to the parameter of automatic vending point j is set by i is set.

In this situation, work as NO=25, that selection is set is just suitable if be less than 25, just only needs an once independent calling come the handoff parameter setting., selection is set, just needs to call out the handoff parameter setting 2 times if use more than 25.Work as NO=200,,, also only need once independent calling even the sum that parameter is selected is 200 for accurately handoff parameter selection.

Situation-4: the operation center of above-mentioned example is a message contact passive side.For the accurate operation of automatic vending point, need to select by the poll search argument, therefore, selection is set for 7 or 15 or 31, need get in touch active direction message contact passive side from message, send 4 or 5 or 6 callings respectively.

Second example be from/to a mobile monitoring service unit, for example one is moved service inspection unit, the no connect hours reception/transmission message code.Consider three kinds of different situations.In this example, the message received of mobile monitoring service unit has two kinds of instruction types.First kind of instruction is directed to a certain location (in the database of a NA memory location one, i.e. service point) to service unit, and another kind of instruction is then in order to finish specific task (in the table of a NT task).

Each task has NR mileometer to cooperate (being accurate to AC with interior location) with the position measurement of a global positioning system GPS of a usefulness, so that determine the position in the area of a predetermined labels.On a given communication frequency, the position of service unit and its situation report together are legal message code during this is used.

Situation-1: one NA=200/20000 service point of operation center's control, operation center may require the dissimilar task of a NT=10.Operation center utilizes NO=25/200 bar data circuit, in a daily program, according to 20 different service position, sends a job note to a mobile service unit, and the position of service point is described, task and the order of executing the task.

If NO=25 and NA=200/20000, operation center must send 3/4 calling respectively in order to send message code.Utilize the coding of a 25-base, call out the position and the task of the service that illustrates of being used for together, the last order that is used for determining according to the task of routine of calling out 2/3 time of beginning.If NO=200 rather than 25 only need respectively to call out for 2/3 time and send message code, here respectively with the position and the task of calling out the service that illustrates for 1/2 time, the last calling is used for the order of definite task according to routine.

The mobile service unit that situation-2: is communicated by letter with operation center in the situation 1 (among the NU=150 one) needs the mileage j of Report Tasks i (in 20 positions), subsidiary/not with a 150*150sq km (square kilometre) the area in, accuracy is the position details explanation (operating for intelligent network) of AC=1.5km (kilometer) or 0.15km.

If NO=25, AC=zero/1.5km/0.15km, (null representation does not need the location), mobile service unit just needed to send 1/4/6 calling for each message code respectively.If operation center is not to use NO=25, but NO=200 bar circuit, mobile service unit just only need send 1/3/4 calling respectively.

Call out for the first time, or the element of first message code, all be used for NT and NR at both of these case, here first mileage is by a report of calling out in the specific circuit of NT (being 20 in this situation) bar, and other (NR-1) bar circuit of other NR-1 mileage utilizations that are connected on the first mileage back is 4 in this situation.Later any calling all is used for reporting the position of mobile service unit.Per call is pointed out a geographic area.The geographic area can mark with a series of square substantially squares by name.These are square can be divided into littler be called secondary square square, secondary square and can be divided into littler square.Every called circuit corresponding one given square.

Call out for the first time for one and just point out that mobile service unit is corresponding to the somewhere in called circuit square substantially.If square substantially resolution is enough, just do not need to call out again.Secondary if desired square precision is just sent for the second time and is called out, and points out that mobile service unit is corresponding to the somewhere in called circuit secondary square.This process can precision on demand be carried out continuously.

Situation 3: similar with situation 2, but system operates with general network.In this situation, once or several times call out the message code front, with given caller identification sign indicating number.Therefore to NO=25/200 bar circuit, the number of calls that must need in situation 2 respectively increases by 1/2 time.

The 3rd example be from/do not have connect hours ground receptions/transmissions message code to someone, this people wishes calling and/or pays one and serve or obtain supplying a product from waiter.Waiter is equipped with a no connect hours transceiver and relevant source codec and encoding software.This example can be used for, for example motorcyclist is wished on " checking "/" not checking " road or is stopped outside the road, or accept a service, carwash for example, perhaps take at a gas station payment coal gas product, perhaps certain telephone subscriber wishes from an automatic vending machine or sends service point with charge free and buy a kind of definite product.Certainly all do other application as requested.Following Example is called electronic transaction all, and the price of transaction will be the part of message associated process.The message that relates to price that certain the present invention comprises is not limited to these special cases.Two kinds of different situations will be considered.Suppose below:

(a) NE incident can be experienced and distinguish to automation services point or the intelligence controller of selling goods, the buyer that these incidents can indicate or be identified is to a kind of demand of very clear and definite product/service, perhaps when making machine correctly select product or service with order, such as by next markd key, can indicate the incident of the demand of the buyer's buying that only is identified.

(b) operation center of control NA (quantity) individual service point (or, point of sale) utilizes the preferably NO bar data circuit of intelligent network operation, reception/transmission data, and these circuits comprise the answer circuit.

(c) user hand-manipulated of a native system can utilize service/a kind of product of a following careless call by pattern:

If-this message be an independent code element and decoding and time irrelevant-special terminal of the unnecessary usefulness of the user of system so, and not as utilizing one to belong to his/her phone (honeycomb or wired), according to order " buy a kind of service/product (title) from this point of sale, called telephone ###### takes out stitches then "

-if the message (perhaps relevant with time code) of a multielement sign indicating number (multi element code) should be with a special terminal that is connected to wired or cellular devices, this terminal preferably can be indicated the user, such as using menu, how to select order.

(d) consider three kinds of typical message:

(i) individual event is bought request (in service of NP kind or the product, specified in advance by the supplier)-the mean price of transaction here and is determined by message code,

(ii) a kind of definite product (for example, " being full of my jar ", or " I car is parked how long do not know ") of non-quantitative is bought in request, means that here the price of transaction is just definite after purchase is finished,

Situation 1: operation center utilize NO＞＞the NP bar data circuit control product different or serve relevant transaction with the NP kind.In this situation, message (i) requires to send out once independent calling to one in the data circuit.Message (ii) requires twice calling, once is to open to buy or service process, and another time is to finish this process.Another sample way in this case is to call out closing a sale, and sometimes, the user can keep artificially and allow intelligent controller " then and there " perception stop signal.(" process end " message is more suitable in this electron-like transaction that for example parks cars, and " stopping " key is more suitable in for example replenishing this electron-like transaction of coal gas).Message (iii) NP little (=2-3) situation requires from once beginning calling out several times arbitrarily.When the series of calling out became very long, the efficient of process significantly descended.

In all three kinds of message last element sign indicating number have double implication-a) to the calling party supply this product/service and-b) for message (i) with (iii) agree in advance, (ii) then be after transaction is finished for message, receive the price of concluding the business.These price can by each transaction determine the book keeping operation file keep accounts, and according to by mutual consent, offering to this calling party who is identified or to record keeping entity (for example credit card company) provides the common network operation person of communication service to gather.

Situation 2: the recipient controls NP＞1 with NO=1 bar data circuit.In this situation, message (i) requires to send calling more than once to data circuit, removes this non-calling party after initiating a message, and uses another kind of device instead, for example presses a key on vending machine, points out the identifier of selecteed product or service.The result (iii) asks to buy following " buying order " (from a predetermined menu) and means that here the price of transaction just can determine that before delivery still will analyzing just, the content of list superposes.The most significant part of message can determine to carry out the request by the primary electron transaction of this calling party's payment, and the minimum live part of message is determined by button, can identify product or the service and the quantity thereof of requirement.Message (ii) requires twice calling, once is to open to buy or service process, and another time is to finish this process.Another sample way in this case is to call out closing a sale, and sometimes, the user can keep artificially and allow intelligent controller " then and there " perception stop signal.(" process end " message is more suitable in this electron-like transaction that for example parks cars, and " stopping " key is more suitable in for example replenishing this electron-like transaction of coal gas).Message (iii) can not be got in touch effectively in this situation.

The basic conception of the structure of relevant information code was narrated, and will narrate the message associated process of no connect hours ground reception/transmission message code below.

Consider three kinds of basic message associated process: (i) multipath reception side of a single channel caller calls, (ii) single channel recipient of a multichannel caller calls and (iii) multipath reception side of a single channel calling party opinion inquiry.Provide the specific examples of calling party's logic and recipient's logic for each process, together with the flow chart of the general message associated process of each these situation of explanation.

Should be noted that multichannel to single channel, the message associated process of single channel to multichannel and single channel to single channel is the special circumstances of multichannel to multichannel message associated process.Because a service point should save as far as possible, and an operation center should be efficient, and service point is single channel and operation center multichannel normally normally, so these three the basic messae associated process that will narrate all are important situations.

The multipath reception side of message contact active direction that at first considers a single channel sends a message.

For intelligent network operation, per call is discerned individually, so the message associated process can be supported in transmission period of crossover and starts many calling partys that data transmit.The message code that is sent by a message contact masters is such code, it is set up as a series of recipient's calling circuit numbers, preferably arrive the order of " minimum " effective code element according to " the highest " in the code, wherein each of code " element " is equivalent to the circuit index i on recipient's called line road.

The Code And Decode process of message code is with the following basis that is assumed to be:

(a1) database of predetermined MM message of communicating pair configuration and relevant message code.

(a2) recipient utilizes N bar circuit to receive message code, and every circuit is a feature with a circuit index.

(a3) from optimizing coding consideration, the relation between MM and the N requires the message code based on MI element, first element " the highest " effective unit preferably wherein, and MI element is that " minimum " is effective first.For example, if MM=9 or 99 and N=10, then MI=1 or 2 respectively.Equally, if MM=99 or 9999 and N=100, then MI=1 or 2 respectively.

(a4) each calling party has the predetermined time (TIME-OUT (overtime)) to be used to send its MI unit message code, this time is connected circuit of " the highest " effective unit of called expression message code from this calling party, and this begins constantly to find to be in " spare time " attitude by this called circuit.

(a5) the message associated process ends to ask the recipient to send an affirmation, confirms to confirm to have received a proper messages code.Such affirmation is according to recipient's character, by a kind of the finishing in two kinds of methods.

If this recipient is a message contact passive side, must add that before the message associated process calling party registers, this is the affirmation registration circuit by this caller calls message contact passive side, notification message contact passive side, this calling party note receiving the affirmation of its message are carried out.Circuit is " hurrying " if this confirms registration, and this calling party will continue to call out till its " spare time ".After the registration, the answer circuit that this calling party passes through is waited for an affirmation, does not confirm or the part affirmation.

, if this recipient is a message contact masters, it can send a message code successfully relevant with the message associated process to this calling party.

(a6) the intelligent structure of message code database is sent as the basis together with cataloged procedure so that a series of data are effective from " the highest " to " minimum " firstly, even process is interrupted, also allows retrieving portion message.Provide some examples below, declaratives message is for using firm importance.The message of a part can be extracted out from a code, and each element marks a subgroup of previous element here.

For the general network operation,, must add the identification code series decode procedure of above narration in front by the message that a message contact masters is sent.Therefore in certain time, have only a message contact masters to get in touch the passive side and communicate by letter with a given message.

In whole process, from caller identification, relate to affirmation of last reception through message, do not confirm or the part affirmation, perhaps because " overtime " stops process, message code registration circuit must be in " doing " attitude, points out that this message contact passive side is occupied, can not receive new message from the another one calling party.Because " overtime " stops or owing to the affirmation process is finished, message registration circuit switches to " spare time " attitude, this recipient prepares to receive a new message code when process.Even this recipient is a message contact masters, this calling party also should inquire the affirmation circuit, makes last unlikely the losing of identification code of setting up.This is antipodal with the situation of intelligent network, modulates on intelligent network there caller identification sign indicating number is carrier frequency frequency at signal of communication.

Because the structure of general network operation, it can not bear attempt in the period of crossover to/from many calling partys of same recipient's transceive data.Sometimes more effective is that NO bar circuit is further divided into N subgroup, and each subgroup is as an independently recipient operation, the result, and n message code can be received and dispatched concurrently.The recipient of the general network of 100 circuits for example is divided into 10 to its circuit independently after the group, and its efficient exceeds one five to six times factor than 100 tunnel independent systems.That is to say that it can receive the calling more than five times in the unit interval.

Will narrate comprehensively in Fig. 9 and 10 now, single channel message contact masters sends the process of a message to a multipath reception side.In these two figure, to use following mark:

MM represents the sum of the message code used,

MI is illustrated in the quantity of element in the message code,

N represents the sum of the circuit that the recipient is indexed,

I, j are the index of message code element,

Ni (nj) is the indexed circuit of i (j) bar recipient,

OM represents the quantity of different code element numerical value=N*TV, here

TV represents to measure the possible quantity from a clock trigger impulse to the time value of taking out stitches (rounding off).

Comparison that explanation is now got in touch along with time message contact that changes and the message that does not change along with the time and time measurement are to the influence of available message code quantity.The message contact active direction of a single channel of consideration/from message of one 10 tunnel communication one side's transmission/reception, and establish TV=4.Per call is represented in the value of 40 message code one so, rather than need not such 10 numerical value of time dependent message code value (promptly ignoring in cataloged procedure from the ring first time to the time span of taking out stitches) in cataloged procedure.Correspondingly, a time dependent message code based on 2 or 3 code elements, will produce a collection of 1600 or 6400 different message code, and relatively need not time dependent message code value in cataloged procedure, have only 100 or 1000 different message code respectively.

Notice that at first Fig. 9 represents that a multipath reception side receives the key step of recipient's logic of a message code from a single channel message contact masters.In step 400, this multipath reception side receives a message code from a single channel message correspondent party.MM is the sum of used message code, and OM is the quantity of different code element numerical value.If in step 402, MM＜OM (that is, an independent code element is determined this message) is so control forwards step 448 to.The following two kinds of situations of step 450 difference.If used message code sum (MM) is less than the quantity (N) of the indexed circuit of recipient, so for circuit ni, in order to determine message code, except the circuit index ni on called line road, also to add the measurement (step 456 and 458) of Tri ring time.If on the other hand, MM＞N so the circuit index ni on called line road enough determine message code (step 452).In step 454, determine this caller identification sign indicating number, message code and message time of advent.Control forwards above-described step 430 to.

If 402, MM＞OM (in order to transmit the number of calls that message call is required) just sets up received message code one by one in step 404 so element from first to MI element.Best, but be not necessary, first element is the highest effective element of message code, MI element is minimum effective unit of message code.

Start " overtime " process in step 406, the index j of message code is initialized as zero in step 410.The input message code is to be set up by the circulation that step 410 to 418 is determined, wherein j element of message code is given by nj and TRj.Should be noted that if without time measurement j element is only given by nj so.In case the element of entire message code is all received, and is supposed that also not being registered as " overtime " circulation during the course just finishes in step 418.Here suppose how many code elements the recipient has predicted.For example, first received element of can making an appointment also indicates the recipient simultaneously and can expect the element sum that receives.According to this method, the recipient can expect that the element sum that receives is given by MI (n1), and n1 is the index on article one recipient called line road here.

In step 420, the message code element of receiving and a conversion table are compared, this table connects this message code element and message or a part of message wherein, thereby to the message code decoding, caller identification sign indicating number of pointing out according to this message and message identify this calling party the time of advent.

If just stopped this process in step 412 " overtime " before whole code elements are received, so the quantity of the code element that consideration is received has two kinds of possibilities.These two kinds of possibilities are checked in step 422.If received a code element at least (promptly, j＞1), determine a part of message in

step

424 and 426 from the code element that receives so, point out that according to this part message this caller identification sign indicating number and message identify this calling party the time of advent, and prepare a part acknowledge message code.If on the other hand, a message code element is not subjected to (that is, j＜1) yet, just prepares a not acknowledge message code in step 428.

If this multipath reception side is a message contact masters, forward step 431 in step 430 control so, this this single channel of multipath reception direction calling party sends a suitable affirmation message code (that is, confirm, do not confirm or the part affirmation).If on the other hand, this multipath reception side is not a message contact masters, this single channel calling party (being a message contact masters) must call out the affirmation registration of this multipath reception side and answer circuit as step 432 to 440 so, with the condition of information that obtains being received by this multipath reception side.Whether watch attentively from message of this multipath reception square wheel inquiry in this single channel message contact masters of step 442 decision.If poll registration circuit is called out in second at TP, just explanation requires poll, step 446.If on the other hand, poll registration circuit is not called out in second at TP, does not just require poll, and just at the general network operational circumstances, message registration circuit is switched to " spare time ", and the recipient prepares next message then.

The key step that the present Figure 10 of attention represents to get in touch the masters logic to a single channel message of a message of multipath reception side's transmission is in step 500, and this message is got in touch the identification code (IDC) decoded (consulting Fig. 8) of masters and triggered a code message associated process.If 502, MI＜OM calls out independent recipient's circuit and just can transmit a message (that is, single code element is determined this message).In this situation, step 554 determine the circuit of this multipath reception side of this message, such as ni bar circuit is called out.If this ni bar circuit " hurries ", just control is forwarded to step 558 in step 556, TB second was waited in this first party release at this moment then before calling out the ni bar circuit of this multipath reception side again.If this ni bar circuit " spare time " so in step 560, was waited for k ring or TRi second before taking out stitches.Again, if without time measurement, this single channel message contact masters no matter which bar recipient circuit is called out, was all waited for the same time before taking out stitches so, such as T second.In step 562, this calling party carries out from the affirmation process of step 530 beginning.

If 502, MI＞OM has only some recipient's circuits of calling could transmit a message (that is, a more than code element to determine this message).In step 504, specify more called recipient's circuits, these recipient's circuits are determined the code element of the message code of this requirement.Best, but be not necessary, first element is the highest effective element of message code, MI element is the minimum effective element of message code.

In step 506 initialization " overtime " process, in step 508 message symbol index j is initialized as zero then.Value at step 510 index j adds 1.Dial recipient's circuit in step 512 corresponding to j code element of message code.If in step 514, the circuit that is dialled " hurries " in controlling so and just forwards step 516 to, takes out stitches before redialing and waits for TB second.If on the other hand, by the circuit that dialled " not hurry " control so just forward to step 518 then this message get in touch masters and before taking out stitches, wait for TRj second, perhaps kj ring.Should be pointed out that if without time measurement this message contact masters was all waited for the same time to every called circuit before taking out stitches so, such as T second.

Check in step 520 whether all determine that recipient's circuit of message code is all dialled continuously, i.e. j=MI whether.If, the entire message code has been delivered to the recipient, and step 529 is proceeded the message authentication process from step 530 then.If this multipath reception side is a message contact masters, just forward step 531 in step 530 control so, this single channel calling party waits for the suitable message code affirmation (that is, whether affirmation or not or part is confirmed) of sending from this multipath reception side.If on the other hand, this multipath reception side is not a message contact masters, this single channel message contact masters must be called out the affirmation registration of this multipath reception side and be answered circuit as step 532 to 550, with the condition of information that obtains being received by this multipath reception side.

If in step 520, j ≠ MI and not to " overtime ", 522, so just call out next bar circuit (repeating step 510 to 520).If arrived 522 " overtime ", and for example fruit has at least a circuit to be called out, 524, just prepare the message code that a part is confirmed, 528.If on the other hand, do not have circuit to be called out and just stop this process, 528, just restart if desired then.

Only multichannel message contact single channel of active direction of intelligent network operation consideration or multipath reception side are sent a message now.

Different with above situation, the there utilizes recipient's multichannel structure to encode, and the situation here, and the basis of coding is with each message contact masters many calling lines to be arranged, can set up message code from these circuits is foundation.Because the situation here is limited to the intelligent network operation, this calling party's identification code is directly extracted out from call signal.Yet because this calling party has used some circuits, the decoding of getting in touch between this calling party and the message code is a process that multistep is rapid, is summarized as follows:

(a) from this call signal, extract identification code and message time of advent;

(b) discern this calling party and belong to any bar calling line;

(c) from the calling party's circuit that is identified, identify specific identity value;

(d) if according to the element that receives the message time of advent and the last time of having, also (i-1) element that received according to last time is given index i of message symbol allocation;

(e) if the entire message code element all is useful, this source codec, or, if process was stopped by " overtime " before finishing, the decoding of the message code of part.

In this situation, can make affirmation by in the following way if desired:

If this recipient is a message contact masters, it will send an affirmation, not confirm or partly confirm to give this calling party.

If this recipient has a message contact passive side who confirms registration and answer circuit, this calling party will inquire an acknowledge message code to this recipient.

If this recipient is a message contact passive side who does not confirm to register and answer circuit, but this calling party is the unique message contact source of during this time calling out this recipient, if the appropriate response of this recipient is to confirm or the part affirmation so, just its independent circuit is switched to " doing " and waits for T second, if appropriate response is not confirm, just allow this circuit be " spare time ", and this calling party after finishing, the message associated process of this signal just inquire this recipient at once.

Single channel recipient of a multichannel message contact active direction that present explanation Figure 11 and 12 provides sends the flow chart of a message.In these two figure, will use following mark:

Ring time of TR mark,

I, the index of j message code element,

TRj represents a ring time to j code element

IDC enough explains the identification of a message source usually as a code, and with reference to Figure 11, and this yard contains the identification that means the calling party and by the circuit of this caller calls.

Notice that at first Figure 11 represents that a single channel recipient receives the key step of recipient's logic of a message from a multichannel message contact masters.Receive a calling in step 600 from a multichannel message contact masters.Know received message code according to KI the code element that the decoding to caller identification sign indicating number (IDC) value obtains.Receive a calling in step 602, identify this calling party and this calling party's calling line, and measure TR ring time.Emphasize once more, measure optional selecting ring time, set up the degree of freedom of this message code in order to increase.

When receiving when calling out a known calling party sends for the first time, the session of decoding " is not opened (ON) " yet, forward step 606 in step 604 control, this current calling party begins " overtime " process, " opens " this current calling party's decoding session thus.Be used as a number number that is associated with this caller identification and this calling party's calling line in first code element of this message code of step 608, and index i is set is 1.Check this message code in step 610 and whether receive (KI=1) according to 1 code element.If this message code is to receive according to 1 code element, be ready to for producing a message that is identified and a message is done accurate decoding the time of advent in step 612 so.

If this recipient is a message contact masters, forward step 616 in step 614 control so, this recipient will send an appropriate affirmation message code to this calling party, and this code will be to confirm, do not confirm or part acknowledge message code in one.Control forwards step 618 to then, and this recipient waits for next time and calling out here.If this recipient is not a message contact masters, forward step 620 in step 614 control so, this recipient waits for that this calling party inquires an acknowledge message code.Certainly, this recipient prepares an appropriate affirmation message code for this calling party on its registration circuit.So obviously, if this recipient is not a message contact masters, this calling party must receive an acknowledge message code, so this recipient can not be the recipient of a single channel.Then step 620 control forwards step 618 to and checks current decoding session whether " overtime " in step 622 then.If do not reach " overtime " yet, control just rotates back into step 600.

In step 622, reach " overtime " and check in step 624 so, whether current hereto calling party has received these message code elements.If current hereto calling party does not receive these message code elements, just stop this message process to this calling party in step 626, control forward to step 614 with one not the acknowledge message code be delivered to this calling party.If some, but be not that the entire message code receives from this current calling party, this calling party's message code can be partly decoded so, 628, control forwards step 614 to then, and a part acknowledge message code is delivered to this calling party.Control forwards step 618 step 622 then to after this.

If is " opening " in step 604 to a decoding of this current calling party session, control just forwards step 630 to, checks this current calling party's decoded element index i, in step 632 j is defined as 1+i then.The calling line of this j code element with this calling party and this calling party is associated by a data bank code conversion table in step 634.

Whether check whole these code elements in step 636 receives.If all these code elements are received, so in step 612, these received code elements are prepared decoding, then as previously mentioned, confirm by step 614 to 620.

Notice that now Figure 12 represents to send to a single channel recipient multichannel message contact masters logic of a message code.In step 700, a multichannel message contact masters is utilized the intelligent network operation to produce a message code and is transmitted.Decoded at code of step 702 with KI element.Each code element is represented by one in the circuit number that this calling party that ring up time T R follows arranged.Best, but be not necessary, this message code is to set up like this, and making first code element is the highest efficient message element, and last code element is minimum efficient message element.

In step 704 beginning " overtime " process.Be set to zero at step 706 index i.Value at this index of step 708 i increases by 1.Check whether arrive " overtime " in step 710.If still, get in touch masters this recipient of line call-up in this multichannel message of step 712 so from distributing to i code element for to " overtime ".Check the state of this recipient's circuit in step 714.If it is " hurrying ", just in step 722, TB second was waited in this first party release then before rotating back into step 712.If on the other hand, this recipient's circuit is not " hurrying ", and this calling party waited for TRi second before taking out stitches so, 716.Check symbol index in step 718.Step 720, if KI element sent, the entire message code all sends so, proceeds to confirm polling procedure, step 730,732 and 734.If also be not sent out at this KI element of step 718, control just forwards step 708 to and proceeds.

If check the quantity that sends code element in step 724 so to " overtime " in step 710.If do not send code element in step 724, just abandon this process, 726, and must rerun from step 702., if sent at least one element, this message partly is sent out, and 728, whether check these message that partly are sent out in step 729 enough.If think that these message that partly are sent out are not enough, just abandon this process, 726.If think that these message that partly are sent out are enough, just proceed affirmation/polling procedure, step 730,732 and 734.

Fig. 9 to 12 comprises the particular case of a multipath reception side of a single channel caller calls, wherein Figure 10 and 12 comprises that single channel message contact active direction one a single channel recipient sends the particular case of a message, and Fig. 9 and 11 comprises that a single channel recipient receives the particular case of a message from a single channel message contact masters.These particular cases are only concerning the intelligent network operation.

Get in touch with message between multichannel and the single-channel communication both sides that more generally situation is different, here decode and encode with this calling or called circuit number, and the order that does not have the calling of answer is that carry out on the basis, the particular case of message contact between the both sides of this single-channel communication, message code element are according to from this recipient's clock trigger impulse to a period of time foundation that " jingle bell " process of taking apart pass by.Because this special case is limited to intelligent network operation, or two and have only two communications between very definite aspect, the caller identification sign indicating number is just directly called out from this and is extracted out., each message code can be set up according to many elements, and the decoding that connects between this calling party and this message code is a rapid process of multistep, is summarized as follows:

(a) call out to extract caller identification sign indicating number and message time of advent out from this;

(b) measure the time that finishes from the first time " ring " to the jingle bell process;

(c) remove the time of measuring with a decoding parametric TD, the result who removes is rounded to the value of immediate message code element, extract the value of element message code thus out and (for example, suppose that the time of a ring is 7.5 seconds and TD=4 second to the end from a clock trigger impulse.Suppose that available message code element is 1,2,4,6,8, the value of the message code element of situation extraction is 2 like this);

(d) according to message time of advent and, if relevant, the message code element (that is (i-1) individual element) that receives before also having distributes an index i for this message code element;

(e) this message is known the number of elements of setting up this message code, if the entire message code element can obtain, this source codec, if perhaps " overtime " interrupts this process, message code is partly decoded; With

(f) if this recipient is message contact passive side-after receiving last code element, at preset time, produce one by relevant situation and confirm code (as " a doing " signal) or produce one not confirm code (as " spare time " signal); Or

(g) if this recipient is this transmit leg of message contact masters-calling, so that utilize as step (f), to produce " do " signal or " spare time " signal, there is not acknowledge message code of connect hours acknowledge message code of ground transmission or.

According to above-described this decode procedure, the decode procedure of the message of the no connect hours of being undertaken by this transmit leg contact is as follows:

(i) select message code from the database of the incident of each report, wherein each code element has two parameters, and first is a called number, and second is to the time of taking out stitches from a clock trigger impulse;

(ii) call out recipient's number (the highest effective element) of first code element and wait for a time of determining by this specific code element " jingle bell " pattern;

(iii) split off current calling;

(iv) repeating step is (ii) and (iii) continuously to all remaining code elements; With

(when v) finishing the transmission of this message that is encoded, carry out as step (f) or (g) said affirmation.

Consider the message of the message contact masters of a single channel now by the message contact passive side of a multichannel of poll inquiry.The message contact passive side of this multichannel can respond many message contact masters, but each time only responds one.

Operate for intelligent network, the phase I of getting in touch passive side's polling data from a message is a poll registration circuit of calling out this message contact passive side, its objective is that this message contact passive side has prepared a message code relevant with this specific calling party in order to allow this message contact passive side discern this calling party.Simultaneously the poll circuit being switched to " doing ", also is that current calling party is that this message contact passive side is visited in data polling to stop other.If this current calling party of a Messages-Waiting is arranged, just switch to " doing " answering circuit, the calling party to inquiry points out that a message is in wait thus.If there is not message waiting for, this process message contact masters hereto all will stop with this message contact passive side.

Message coding is to utilize " hurrying " and " spare time " state of this message contact passive side's N bar calling circuit to produce as a binary code.Little at N to not allowing a situation of binary message code coding completely, just utilize many continuous joints, those higher effective positions (the called circuit of article one is a highest significant position) are encoded in first joint, and those minimum significance bits in last joint, be encoded (the called circuit of the last item is a least significant bit).In this situation, this message contact masters will be called out and be confirmed the registration circuit, all run through to notify section of this message contact passive side, and this message contact passive side will respond the next section coding of N bar circuit.Finished or owing to " overtime " stops, all recipients' circuit all is switched to " spare time " when this process, begun to allow next message associated process.

Difference unique between intelligent network operation and the general network operation is when starting the general network process, before this recipient can decode message code, must get in touch the identification code of masters with the calling party by this message.Operate as for intelligent network, calling party's sign is on the carrier frequency of the signal of communication that transmits by telephone network, usually between the first time and incoming ring for the second time, modulate, and directly extracted out by a modulator-demodulator or line interface, this modulator-demodulator or line interface are to be connected to by on this recipient's circuit of this caller calls.

In Figure 13 and 14,, be described as follows now by the process of a single channel calling party from a message code of a multipath reception square wheel inquiry.

Notice that at first Figure 13 represents the key step by multipath reception side's logic of a single channel calling party (message contact masters) polling message code.Poll registration circuit in this message contact masters of step 800 is called out, and masters is identified.In step 802, the poll circuit switches to " doing ", visits this multipath reception side to stop current calling party of other whiles.If this current calling party of a Messages-Waiting is arranged, 804 just switch to " doing " answering circuit, 806, wait for T second, and the calling party to inquiry points out that a message is in wait thus.

If in step 808, this message contact masters is called out this recipient's answer circuit at T in second, so in step 810 initialization " overtime " process.If in step 804, there is not this current calling party of Messages-Waiting, so this calling party waits for T second, forward step 836 then to.In step 836, stop polling procedure, all recipient's circuits comprise that poll and message code registration circuit all are set to " spare time ".Polling procedure is from newly, and open to all calling partys.

Point out that in the above message coding is to utilize " doing " and " spare time " state of this message contact passive side's N bar calling circuit to produce as a binary code.At first, the N bar circuit of all callings all is set to " spare time ".Checking the number of symbols K (binary digit) that comprises message code in step 812 is to be greater than or less than N.If K＜N, the quantity of circuit is large enough to allow coding, in step 840 the L bar in the N bar circuit is switched to " doing " then, sets up the message code element that requires.In step 836 " overtime " checked.If do not reach " overtime ", then check the affirmation registration circuit that this calling party did not once call out this recipient in step 834, indication once continuously poll cross this message.

If find K＞N in step 812, a series of codes of binary message completely of the not enough establishment of this N bar circuit.Be divided into many continuous joints in this message code of this situation.Need to determine continuous joint number [K/N]+1 in step 814, the integer value that x is got in [x] expression here.

Step 818 to 832 description messages code is coding in J section, in step 820, preestablish sweep time, make this calling party have time enough to call out recipient's circuit and an affirmation of calling out of calling to every joint, with the message code of confirming in every joint, to be read out, in step 823.Once more,, finished or owing to " overtime " stops, all recipients' circuit all is switched to " spare time ", begun to allow next message associated process when this process in step 836.

If notice that now Figure 14 represents to ask from a multipath reception square wheel single channel calling party logic of message code.Ask a message and set up a clock trigger impulse from a multipath reception square wheel for a single channel message contact masters in step 900.In step 902 to 906, this recipient's poll registration circuit was called out till its " spare time ".Wait for T1 second step 908 calling party.Take out stitches then and call out this recipient's answer registration circuit in step 910.Check the state of this recipient's answer registration circuit in step 912.If circuit " spare time " does not have this calling party of Messages-Waiting exactly, stop this process in step 913 then.If circuit " hurries ", be exactly this calling party of Messages-Waiting, step 916 is then in step 918 initialization " overtime " process.

In step 920 relatively the quantity N of the numbering K of code element maximum and recipient's circuit.If K＜N, the quantity of recipient's calling circuit is abundant, can hold message code completely, and control forwards step 922 to, and at this moment circuit index i is set to zero, and the poll of a section opinion inquiry process is begun to carry out.In 924 to 936 sections of determining, this message code is by the circuit poll is as follows one by one in steps.At first this circuit index i is set to 1, the ni bar circuit of calling receiver then, 926, check the state of this circuit, 928, if its " spare time ", 930, this calling party waits for that T2 takes out stitches second then, yet if this circuit " hurries ", 932, this calling party just waits for that T3 takes out stitches second then.After taking out stitches, check the last item circuit and once do not called out 934.If a last circuit was not also called out, just check " overtime ", 936.If still do not arrive " overtime ", control rotates back into step 924, calls out the circuit that next bar is encoded.If arrived " overtime ", so message code is just partly polled, this calling party prepares a part acknowledge message code, 938.If on the other hand, in step 934, a last circuit is called out, the complete polled mistake of these message code so, and this calling party confirms successfully to finish at step 940 to 948 polling procedure rightly.

If find K＞N in step 920, this N bar recipient circuit holds whole message code inadequately.In this situation, this message code is divided into many continuous joints, J determines the joint number that this message code of poll requires here.Step 956 to 980 is the same with step 924 to 926 for message of poll in a joint.Yet step 950 to 954 and step 982 to 983 are added on the step 956 to 980, the polling procedure of this independent joint is repeated J time.

The present invention narrates and illustrates by the characteristics of some degree.Yet be to be understood that various kinds is selected and variation can be carried out in spirit in the desired in the back right without prejudice to the present invention and scope.

Note Figure 15 and 16 now, here illustrate that a circuit is in order to transmit the example that message is utilized CEIC method of the present invention between transmit leg and recipient, as mentioned above, CEIC appends to a LSP who forms a code element on the IDC, and it is just according to one in many possible variations of the present invention.

Figure 15 is identical with Figure 11 and 12 basically with 16, has only change seldom.Reformed square frame is used in reference number corresponding in Figure 11 and 12 and adds the apostrophe sign.Remaining square frame is same, therefore here just no longer explains.At first note Figure 16 now, send sequence in square frame 700 ' one of expression here, these code elements are made up of the key element of MSP and LSP and some code elements relevant with the jingle bell time now.At square frame 702 ' MSC is encoded with Ki element.Each element is connected on the single MSP number of the transmit leg among the IDC of the transmit leg that sends by network and represents by a LSP value.Whole process continues to carry out like that as described in Figure 12, if be overtime still not yet due (square frame 712 '), this EIC element (MSP and LSP) is sent to this recipient.

Forward Figure 15 now to, it is similar to Figure 11, and the receiving course of MSP and LSP is in square frame 600 ' middle explanation: square frame 634 ' in, determine this MSC element I (suppose this decoding session open) according to the code element LSPi that so obtains and code element Tri.Situation about just having begun when this time period, like this LSPi of Chou Quing and Tri comprise respectively first LSP and ring time element, and trigger time-out count facing to the time period.Certainly, do not require that per call all comprises LSP and Tri composition ring time, but for the sake of clarity, consider following Example, refer to here consider LSP and ring time code element.

In the ring first time, obtain LSP1 code element and T1 code element.In the ring second time, obtain LSP2 code element and T2 code element and in ring for the third time, obtain LSP3 code element and T3 code element (T1, T2 and T3 need not to be only one, are equally applicable to LSP1, LSP2 and LSP3).

These three LSPs form the part of code segment, and same, the time of these three rings also forms the part of code sign indicating number section.This code is equivalent to a known message (from one group of message), and this message can extract with local user's terminal (LUT).As said in the past, if wish like this, the order that can make these symbol decodings is to determining that corresponding message has effect.Therefore, with a nonrestrictive example, sequence: LSP1 T1 is calling out for the first time; LSP2 T2 is different from sequence LSP2 T2 in calling for the first time in one of the message of calling expression for the second time; LSP1 T1 is calling out represented message for the second time.

If wish like this, can be with other parameters such as calling party phone circuit, recipient's telephone line further increases the quantity of combination, the obvious like this inventory that increases message.

Point out that following this point is important, same combination can be corresponding to different message to each calling party (or recipient).。Therefore, with a nonrestrictive example, LSP1 T1 to certain recipient corresponding to first message, and same LSP1 T1 to another recipient corresponding to second message.
