Abstract
Abstract A service management system is adapted to an intelligent network system having a plurality of service switching points making service inquiries, and a plurality of service control points coupled to the service switching points and controlling services. The service management system is coupled to the plurality of service control points and centrally manages databases of the service control points, and includes a process registration information table for registering process information of a plurality of processes related to the service control points and the service management system. The process registration information table is used to manage contention among the processes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A service management system adapted to an intelligent network system having a plurality of service switching points making service inquiries, and a plurality of service control points coupled to the service switching points and controlling services, said service management system comprising: means, coupled to the plurality of service control points, for centrally managing databases of the service control points; a process registration information table registering process information of a plurality of processes related to the service control points and the service management system, and contention levels of the processes; and a load monitoring unit periodically monitoring loads of the service control points and the service management system, said means using said process registration information table and the loads monitored by said load monitoring unit to manage contention among the processes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
A service management system adapted to an intelligent network system having a plurality of service switching points making service inquiries, and a plurality of service control points coupled to the service switching points and controlling services, said service management system comprising: means, coupled to the plurality of service control points, for centrally managing databases of the service control points; a process registration information table registering process information of a plurality of processes related to the service control points and the service management system, and contention levels of the processes; and a load monitoring unit periodically monitoring loads of the service control points and the service management system, said means using said process registration information table and the loads monitored by said load monitoring unit to manage contention among the processes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The service management system as claimed in claim 1, which further comprises: means for managing process information of each process subject to contention with respect to the processes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The service management system as claimed in claim 2, which further comprises: means for rewriting the process information.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
The service management system as claimed in claim 1, which further comprises: means for managing contention level information which is used to convert the loads of the service control points and the service management system monitored by said load monitoring unit to the contention levels.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The service management system as claimed in claim 4, which further comprises: load notification accept unit monitoring a sudden change in the loads of the service control points.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
138 words
A process control system for an intelligent network system which includes a plurality of service switching points making service inquiries, a plurality of service control points coupled to the service switching points and controlling services, and a service management system coupled to the plurality of service control points and centrally managing databases of the service control points, said process control system comprising: a process registration information table, provided in the service management system, registering process information of a plurality of processes related to the service control points and the service management system, and contention levels of the processes; a load monitoring unit, provided in the service management system, periodically monitoring loads of the service control points and the service management system; and said service management system using said process registration information table to manage contention among the processes.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
138 words
A process control system for an intelligent network system which includes a plurality of service switching points making service inquiries, a plurality of service control points coupled to the service switching points and controlling services, and a service management system coupled to the plurality of service control points and centrally managing databases of the service control points, said process control system comprising: a process registration information table, provided in the service management system, registering process information of a plurality of processes related to the service control points and the service management system, and contention levels of the processes; a load monitoring unit, provided in the service management system, periodically monitoring loads of the service control points and the service management system; and said service management system using said process registration information table to manage contention among the processes.
