Illustrative process
Fig. 5 illustrates the logical method of an embodiment who is used to produce mobile user profile.In operation 130, when initial and portal server communicated when portable terminal, portal server was set up mobile user profile.Provide some essential informations with communications of Mobile Terminals to portal server, comprised device model number, Operator ID, mobile identification code (MIN) or the like.MIN is telephone number, mobile user comprehensive service digital net (MS-ISDN), Electronic Serial Number (ESN) or other mobile terminal identifier normally.Portal server uses these essential informations to visit the out of Memory relevant with portable terminal from portable terminal manufacturer, dealer, trade bloc and/or other source.
Mobile user profile can be the basis with the user agent profile (for example, by the user agent profile of acting on behalf of profile specification (User Agent Profile Specification) definition from the available user of WAP Forum company limited (www.wapforum.org)) of standard.Description comprises integration capability/preference interface (CC/PP) of use by World Wide Web Consortium (www.w3c.org) definition about another example of the information of portable terminal.Other example of describing the configuration file of capacity of mobile terminal comprises mobile information apparatus configuration file (MIDP), radio universal resource file (WURFL) or the like.The configuration file of user agent profile or other standard generally includes the attribute of portable terminal, for example, and screen size, screen resolution, memory-size or the like.The sample of users agent configuration file has been proposed among the annex A.Server can use user agent profile or other standardized configuration file to start mobile user profile, and then, mobile user profile is used information substituting and/or that add and revises.
For example, portal server can begin to revise mobile user profile, thereby adds about ability, service, contract and/or to the information of the restriction of mobile subscriber operator and/or service program.For example, portal server can use external resource or out-of-band communication to determine that user operator is provided at the exograph X management to the user of some service program.If portal server is determined the mobile subscriber and has subscribed to those calculated a kind of plans that then those information can be stored in the mobile user profile.
But in selection operation 132, server can may with general user profile that portal server set up carry out related with the user mobile user profile.The user is connected by the network with universal computing device (for example PC), entertainment systems, other mobile device etc. may have portal account (portal account).The association of configuration file can be taked various ways.For example, mobile user profile can form the basis of general user profile.Perhaps, the key element of mobile user profile can be added in the existing general user profile.On the contrary, mobile user profile can separate with general user profile, and is connected to general user profile.Other association also is fine.If the mobile subscriber is not registered the use portal service, then mobile user profile can keep independent, and is identified by mobile terminal identifier.
In operation 134, under mobile subscriber's permission, portal service tracks mobile subscriber's browse action, purchase action, position and other action.For example, portal server can write down the content of mobile subscriber's request, and when website, the mobile subscriber of mobile subscriber's visit visits those websites, residing geographic position when the mobile subscriber visits those websites.Portal server can also write down collateral information, and the season when for example the mobile subscriber visits some network address, mobile subscriber visit weather condition of some network address that day or the like.The on-line purchase that portal server can also utilize the corresponding portal account of universal computing device to follow the trail of the mobile subscriber by portable terminal and/or mobile subscriber.Based on longitude and latitude information, relevant information be determined and be stored to portal server can also, for example, often uses the dealer of close position, the position of portable terminal with the user.
In addition, portal server can also be followed the trail of the characteristic and/or the change of portable terminal.For example, the mobile subscriber can buy different and/or other mobile device.When the mobile subscriber used new mobile device visit portal server, portal server can interrogate or judge whether this mobile subscriber has had the existing mobile user profile and/or the general user profile that can be associated with new mobile device.For example, if the mobile subscriber uses identical telephone number with new mobile device (and/or new mobile operator), then portal server can be visited the mobile user profile that is associated with telephone number.Portal server can also be visited new user agent profile, so that obtain information about new mobile device, and the operator's informaiton that is associated with new mobile device (and/or new mobile operator) of visit.New information can be added in the existing mobile user profile, and perhaps independent mobile user profile can be associated with original mobile user profile and/or corresponding general user profile.
Mobile user profile can also be based on to the information that provides in the independent test of mobile device, the communication head (header), be changed the analysis of communication performance and out of Memory.For example, user agent profile can indicate special mobile device to comprise some ability.Yet, can indicate the more of mobile device or actual performance still less by the independent test that portal server and/or other service server carry out mobile device.Therefore, mobile user profile can be modified, so that reflect tested ability.In addition, mobile profile module can be estimated the head of the communication between portable terminal and the portal server.In appendix B, sample header has been proposed.Except plate (make), pattern, MIN, screen size and the out of Memory of identification about portable terminal, head can also indicate or be used to determine communication speed, handling capacity and/or other communication characteristic.These communication characteristics can average out and/or use the diverse ways evaluation, so that determine the situation as the condition of those times of the most frequent use portable terminal of user.
In operation 136, based on the information that is tracked to, portal server can detect one or more patterns, custom, characteristic and/or out of Memory.For example, portal server can notice that weekly the mobile subscriber checks certain financial web site that is used for certain group corporate share quotation regularly in certain position.Portal server can notice that the mobile subscriber checks the weather and the local news in remote city regularly, and views the flight prices in that city sometimes.Portal server it is further noted that the mobile subscriber just bought new high performance of mobile equipments in per six months.Relevant information can also be determined and store to portal server, for example, products ﹠ services that the pricing information of the mobile device bought of user, operator's plan (carrier plan) that the user has subscribed to and feature, mobile subscriber use the third-party product bought and service for the mobile device with the user, the products ﹠ services bought to the user are similar or the like.In conjunction with portal server, some or all tracking and pattern detection operations can be carried out by the server software module of portal server and/or the client software module of moving on portable terminal.
Optionally operating in 138, portal server can be determined the weight of the element of mobile user profile according to pattern.For example, portal server can be used higher weight to financial investment and the interesting element of technology accessory to indication.Pattern and/or weight can be used in the optional operation 140, so that determine to describe mobile subscriber's one or more general category and/or customer departmentation, for example, pin point technique user, social activities personnel, job hunter, be the people of focus, the people who often plays games with the family, wash in a pan brummagem people or the like.The classification designator can be stored in the mobile user profile.Portal server can use pattern, weight and/or classification to predict and/or the mobile subscriber that looks ahead regular that wish and/or mobile subscriber's interested content of possibility and/or service then.
