Now translate into Fig. 4, flow chart illustrates the preferred embodiment that is used for sending charge information on communication network.In step 402, communicator judges whether calling out.For example, in cellular radiotelephone system, when voice channel is designated, thinks and calling out.If do not calling out, in step 404, communicator is carried out normal standby operation.Yet if calling out, in step 406, the communicator decision network sends charge information during whether being supported in calling.If network support sends charge information, in step 408, communicator will be handled charge information according to the procotol of setting up.
If network does not support to send charge information, in step 410, communicator is judged any not usefulness or the not necessary frame whether available common signaling protocol is arranged.If communicator can not according to the procotol of setting up or by the existing procotol method reception charge information of frame usefulness or not necessary not, in step 411, communicator be carried out normal call-handling capability.Preferably, if do not receive charge information in the communicator predetermined time cycle, communicator is with end call.
If not usefulness or the not necessary frame of available common signaling protocol is arranged on network, in step 412, communicator judges whether common signaling protocol message is received.If receive common signaling protocol message, in step 414, communicator judges whether the head position specifies specific function.If specific function is specified in the head position, in step 416, communicator judges whether send the function digit of specifying charge information.If specific function such as charge information are not specified in the head position, in step 418, communicator is explained remaining bit according to predetermined definition.That is, if specific function is not specified in the head position, common signaling protocol message will be explained, as linear ID (CLI) message of calling party.If send the specific function position but do not specify charge information, communicator will be explained remaining bit according to the definition of setting up.For example, if the function digit fixed time, remaining bit will be represented the current time that can be shown.If in step 416, function digit is specified charge information, and in step 420, communicator is handled charge information.
Then, in step 422, preferred according to what be scheduled to, communicator shows charge information.For example, communicator can preferably be programmed, to indicate the time durations that should show charge information, as ending up periodically or in calling.Preferably, charge information is calculated during calling out by communicator, and can show when the calling of following begins.Communicator preferably keeps the memory location of indicating current use, and then by receive the network use information that the rate information calculations is upgraded from network.For example, if charge information comprises current charging difference and rate, communicator can calculate the network that upgrades and use information.If the user operates on the credit base, communicator will be according to the calling timer ticket call time spent in the communicator and the call rate that provides in the charge information (promptly initial renewal) of automatic network is provided, and deducts calling charge from current credit.Therefore, charge information can be calculated and is retained in the communicator, only needs minimum signaling from network.
Now translate into Fig. 5, detailed flow chart illustrates according to the present invention by receiving signaling on the signaling protocol of expansion, the preferred steps of calculating and demonstration charge information in communicator.Particularly, in step 502, communicator judges whether calling is underway.If not underway, in step 504, communicator is carried out normal standby operation.Except that other idle function, communicator can use information according to the consumer taste display network.If call out underwayly, in step 506, communicator judges whether the signaling protocol message of expansion is received.In case carry out the call initialization and begin charge, " notics of charge " message will preferably send to phone by network.This message can be the protocol message of expansion, and the permission communicator is used to any system of supported protocol message, as AMPS, and NAMPS, TDMA, CDMA, GSM etc.Communicator receives the decode needs the ability of the protocol message of expansion.
According to the aspect of a novelty of the present invention, CLI message for example, it is defined within the interim standard I S-91 of EIA/TIA, can be from being positioned at 2001 Pennsylvania Ave, N.W., Washington, the EIA standard sales office of D.C.2006 obtains, and can contain nearly 32 information bits usually.Message will preferably include particular sequence (as FFF) in first, and it will indicate communicator: for remaining specifies specific meaning.For example, in the AMPS system, each word contains 6 usually, and in NAMPS, each word contains 5.Therefore, only preceding 10 are optimized for define system independently.Two word CLI message preferably contain the position D1-D10 shown in Fig. 3.Yet, can be with any other common message.
If the signaling protocol message of expansion is received, then in step 508, communicator judges whether the head position specifies specific function.If the specific function of appointment, in step 510, communicator is handled message as the signaling protocol message of common expansion.For example, if the signaling protocol message of common expansion is CLI message, communicator enters the number of calling with decode messages with judgement.If specify specific function in step 508 position, in step 512, communicator judges whether function digit then specifies the charge information that is sent out.
If function digit is not specified charge information, in step 514, according to predetermined network definition, communicator is explained remaining variable bit.Then, in step 516, communicator is selected display message according to predetermined user.For example, communicator can show time, temperature or out of Memory periodically.Information can called out beginning or ending or respond some conditions or reach some predetermined values such as be shown when current time or temperature.
If specify charge information at step 512 function digit, in step 518, control circuit will be provided with the sign that uses message pick-up, and the current use information that receives from network of storage is communicator in the precalculated position as EEPROM 207.In addition, the timer of timing circuit 231 will be set up, with the communicator in the synchronizing network.It is important using the sign of message pick-up, because preferably adopted based on the use information of the information that receives when calling out beginning from network.This makes communicator can calculate current use information and needn't receive additional information continuously during calling out on voice channel.
In step 520, the control circuit 203 of communicator will upgrade network with the rate of rate territory indication then and use information.Preferably, control circuit uses information based on initial network and is used for the rate of current calling, keeps current use information in whole calling continuously.That is, communicator will calculate with timing circuit 231 and call out the time that spends.For using communicator and the cycle user as monthly chargeing in due form, control circuit will calculate the debt that is caused by the user.Particularly, control circuit will multiply by the call rate that is provided by network to the number of minutes called out or calling unit.Then, the debt that communicator can be by adding current calling to before network use debt to judge whole debts of user.In addition, pay with credit in the scheme of network service use the user, as a certain amount of with the credit card prepayment, use will deduct from credit.
Then, in step 522, communicator judges whether select the incoming call Presentation Function.If selected this function, what communicator will be according to consumer premise is chosen in step 516 display message.If do not select the incoming call Presentation Function, or after any information of demonstration that is chosen in according to consumer premise, then, in step 524, communicator will judge whether surpass the usage level thresholding.If surpass thresholding, in step 526, communicator judges whether select usage level to report to the police.For example, thresholding can be every calling thresholding, as 10 minutes levels, maybe can be about user's the whole debt or the thresholding of credit.
If select usage level to report to the police, in step 528, communicator will produce low usage level indication.Indication can be the indication that any class warning user has surpassed thresholding.Indication can be any audio frequency indication or sense of touch indication, as vibration.Then, in step 530, communicator judges to call out whether finish.Do not finish if call out, in step 532, communicator is carried out the normal calling of process information, and judges and whether receive other signaling protocol message.If end of calling, in step 534, the last content of the preferred display-memory of communicator position.
Preferably, in step 536, if do not receive the use information of concrete calling, communicator will not show any charge information.Preferably, if do not receive use information in the calling beginning, communicator will not show any charge information.That is, if do not receive use information in the calling beginning, the charge information of any calculating is forbidden.On the other hand, communicator can be provided with timer, and it can be used to judge the time that spends, and therefore, but accurate Calculation is used information.That is, just in time before calling out, network will send use information and current call rate.Then, communicator is taken advantage of in the time that spends with call rate, to calculate current use.In addition, network can send updated information periodically, and for example up to notified, therefore, communicator can calculate the continuous use of time that receives the use information of upgrading from it.That is, communicator only need calculate it receives the time of the use information of upgrading from network use information.Though send the method for charge information mobile radio telephone set such as mobile cellular telephone are had concrete application, this method also can be used for any communicator, as fixed subscriber unit.
According to an embodiment, if the beginning (beginning as ring) of the beginning of the charging of being judged by network and calling is inconsistent, a plurality of use informational messages can be sent by network.That is, network can be judged when call answering, the beginning of chargeing, and not to the phone ringing time charge.First message can comprise as " FFF " that in position D1-D3 the indicating gage charge information is sent out with FFF and does not begin to charge in position D8-D10 indication.Then, network can send second message of rate, is every charge unit 60 seconds as " 060 ".When network begins to charge, send second message, allow communicator and network to keep synchronously.In addition, rate can comprise the sign indicating number that is used for tax-free call or " calling party paying " calling.Preferably, if do not receive first message in the predetermined time cycle, communicator is with end call.For example, if typically first message should be received in one second, if in three seconds, do not receive that communicator is with end call.
Now translate into Fig. 6, flow chart illustrates the preferred steps that is used to move cordless communication network according to the present invention.In step 602, network is judged the calling whether receive communicator produces and is attempted or to the paging of communicator.If calling generation trial or paging to communicator are not received by network that in step 604, network is carried out the proper network operation.Yet if receiving to call out initially attempts or paging, in step 606, the special-purpose computer 114 of network relatively is associated with the identification code of communicator, as mobile identification code (MIN), with the code table that will receive replenish user information.
If can not obtain side information in step 608, in step 609, network is carried out the proper network operation.If can obtain the side information of communicator in step 608, network based predetermined agreement sends replenish user information.For example, replenish user information can be charge information, and the time, temperature or other be information about the user's or other.Then, system can confirm that in the situation of prepaid services number of the account has enough calling units to go initial call, or in the situation of chargeing usually, number of the account does not surpass some restrictions.In each case, special-purpose computer 114 will be checked and call out and the called phone number, to judge call rate.For example, if local call, rate can be 1 single bit per minute.Then, in step 612, network judges whether calling is underway.If call out underwayly, in step 608, network is judged the other replenish user information whether can obtain communicator.Otherwise, end call.
Now translate into Fig. 7, the step that another embodiment according to the present invention sends charge information is shown.In step 702, whether the network decision network receives that the calling of communicator produce to be attempted or to the paging of communicator.If calling generation trial or paging to communicator are not received, in step 704, network is carried out the proper network operation.Based on the calling generation or the paging of receiving communicator, in step 706, network relatively is associated with the identification code and this class directory that will receive charge information during calling out of communicator.
Then, in step 708, network judges whether communicator should receive charge information.If communicator should not receive charge information, in step 709, network is carried out the proper network operation.Yet if communicator should receive charge information, in step 710, whether the signaling protocol of network decision network supports the transmission of charge information.
If network is not supported the transmission of charge information, Network Recognition protocols having is not used or not necessary frame.If this frame is arranged, in step 712, network produces the head of frame, to discern the other part of charge information that just is being sent out and the frame that charge information is arranged.For example, charge information can comprise current difference in charge, is used to provide current debt of user or credit.In addition, charge information can comprise the rate that is used for present calling, so that communicator can calculate actual the use during calling out, keeps the user network use of renewal.Then, in step 713, whether network is judged can obtain other information, and sends other information in step 714 to communicator.Preferably, transmission information on voice channel is with the charging that guarantees that the communicator correct calculation is called out.Yet, can be on control channel transmit frame.Then, in step 716, network judges whether calling is underway.If call out underwayly, in step 708, network judges whether communicator will receive charge information.If the user does not receive charge information or unavailable other information, in step 718, network is carried out the proper network operation.
Though above with shown in the figure and described the present invention, should know that this describes only to be used for example, those skilled in the art do not break away from true spirit of the present invention and scope, can make many improvement and distortion.For example, though the present invention has concrete application in portable cellular radio, the present invention can be used for any communicator, comprises beep-pager, electronic organizers or computer.The present invention is only limited by following claim.
