Abstract

Binary data representing graphic images, such as a Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) file, are converted into character based data. The converted character based data are then loaded onto an Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) message and transported to a mobile terminal via Stand-alone Dedicated Control Channel (SDCCH) provided by the Global System for Mobile (GSM) or Personal Communications System (PCS) network. Once the transmitted USSD message containing the converted character based data are received by the mobile terminal, the encapsulated data are retrieved and reconverted back to the binary data representing the original GIF file. The GIF file is then fed into a video graphics array (VGA) driver to be displayed on a liquid crystal display (LCD) unit attached to the mobile terminal.

The detailed description of accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is the block diagram of communication of supplementary service data (USSD) message of the non-structure of explanation between portable terminal 100 and mobile switching centre (MSC) 130.The signaling that is used for telecommunication service is carried out in the mode of structure usually.For example, special predetermined data, form and signal name are used to set up voice and are connected, carry out handover, and when telecommunication service is provided authentication user information to the mobile subscriber.Yet after introducing global mobile system (GSM) communication and PCS Personal Communications System (PCS), the multiple new supplementary service with senior is provided for the mobile subscriber.Because these supplementary services utilize user-defined data, so do not exist in the mode that transmits the structure of these data between public-land mobile network (PLMN) GSM application item and the portable terminal.As a result, a plurality of non-configuration messages agreements are developed to be used for GSM or PCS environment.Such agreement is short message service (SMS) agreement, and it is used to transmission information between PLMN and portable terminal.Another agreement is a non-structure supplementary service data (USSD), it be introduced into make the user can be in mobile communications network between GSM PLMN application item and portable terminal with transparent mode interworking.Because the content of the message that is transmitted is not examined or handle to MSC and portable terminal, it is transparent.
Therefore, when the functional signaling of structure can not offer the supplementary service use, USSD or SMS can be used.USSD for example provides transfer mechanism, is used to carry non-structured data (for example user-defined text data) to being positioned at the application item of destination mobile terminal or carrying from the non-structured data of this application item.Login, deletion, startup or shutoff that an example of such supplementary service is a customer service.Another example is the messaging service center, and it and mobile communication network interface are used to provide text message (for example Weather information or stock exchange information) to give the mobile subscriber.When the mobile subscriber by using USSD message when file a request in the messaging service center, the messaging service center also provides information requested travelling backwards to move terminal by USSD message.
A reciprocation (signaling procedure) that wherein has 110 pairs of whereabouts portable terminals 100 of external node user of application-specific module is responsible for.Externally the dialogue between node users 110 and the portable terminal 100 need not by home location register (HLR) 120 or is the conversion of the USSD component of portable terminal 100 serving mobile switching center (MSC) 130 execution.In other words, HLR 120 and MSC 130 be the USSD composition between the relevant participant of relaying in above dialogue (external node user 110 and portable terminal 100) only, and need not revise.No matter when the USSD request initiated of MSC 130 or HLR 120 mobile terminal receives 100 or external node user 110 initiate the USSD request time, it sends request to USSD processor 125 and 135.The USSD processor 135 that is positioned at the USSD processor 125 of HLR 120 and is positioned at MSC 130 is carried out following task then, so that call application item or transmit message to special application item:
The grammer of-analysis operation and protocol rule;
The USSD application item that the USSD that-identification is initiated for the portable terminal that enters operates;
-for the message that portable terminal is initiated, transmit uncorrected USSD character string and data coding scheme and give local USSD application item;
-for the message of sending that local application item is initiated, transmit uncorrected USSD character string and data coding scheme and give portable terminal; And
-according to the indication that receives from the USSD application item, generate the error component or the refusal component of an interruption.
Referring now to Fig. 2, shown the block diagram of the data format of explanation USSD or SMS message 140 on the figure.Eight eight hyte data 145 are used for regulation and use which kind of language, operation parameter, data length and data sequence, and remaining 80 eight hyte data 142 if necessary, are used to transmit character data.Because USSD and SMS are based on the agreement of character, the content of 80 eight hyte data segments 142 can be revised and be shown.For example, if represent the ASCII byte of letter " C " to be transmitted to portable terminal, then letter " C " is shown on the next print position of the display unit that is attached to portable terminal.Therefore, a string character of representing text message for example can be printed in the messaging service center, and character string is loaded into 80 eight hyte data segments 142, and character string is sent to portable terminal for showing usefulness.
On the other hand, graphic image data is differently by the layout structure.For the display graphics image, need for each point on the display screen or the numerical value of pixel.So the original screen for 1024 * 750 (the fixed dimension screen that for example has the white and black displays ability) needs 768000 bits in order all to fill up available screen space.If graphic image has such reference format: it can be the screen of different size and supports the dissimilar type work of kinds of characters number, then needs other additional information, for example the logical screen size.And, if display unit has color display capabilities, then further need be for each point on the display screen or the colored numerical value of pixel.At last, need the binary file of an actual image that has the data Head Section and follow later, the array of the colored numerical value of this data Head Section description logic screen size, the colored correspondence table of logic and screen area.In addition, if resulting binary file is too big, then can adopt compression algorithm to come " packing " actual image.
The example that is used for the binary format of presentation graphic image is the graphic interchange format (GIF) by the exploitation of CompuServe company.GIF is the standard of CompuServe, is used to stipulate unitized rastered picture and be used for high-quality, the high-resolution graphical formatization that will be shown on various different graphic hardware.Yet as discussing the back, other form industry is technically known.
Referring now to Fig. 3, shown the block diagram of the data format 160 of description standard gif file on the figure.GIF signed data section 162 has been stipulated the GIF version number of the graph data that is used to seal.Screen descriptor data segment 164 has been stipulated the total size for the needed logical screen of graph data that shows sealing.It has also stipulated colored correspondence table information, rear projection screen colour and colored concentration information.The colored correspondence table data segment 166 in the whole world is optional, but recommended image to the accurate color rendering of those needs.More specifically, global colored correspondence table data segment 166 has been stipulated for the different colored colour densities in the chromatic spectrum.Image description symbol data segment 168 has been stipulated the practical layout of closed figure data.So it has stipulated that the image of representing with pixel is initial from the left end of screen, and is initial from the upper end of screen with the image that pixel is represented, the width of the image of representing with pixel, and the height of the image of representing with pixel.At last, raster data 170 is represented the actual image that will be shown.The form of actual image is represented as a series of color index numerical value.Capable for a row image, pixel is from left to right by sequential storage.The last graphic image of forming of a plurality of image row.
Embodiments of the invention are to give portable terminal by utilizing existing agreement based on character (for example USSD or SMS) to transmit with the graphic image of binary data file (for example with above-mentioned gif file) storage.By utilizing USSD message, give portable terminal for effectively and accurately transmitting graphic image data, do not need to introduce or develop new standard or agreement.Yet because the USSD transfer mechanism is based on the agreement of character, a byte (a single byte is made up of 8 bits) has only seven bits can be used to carry real data.A remaining bit is used to the purpose of USSD agreement itself, and for example one stops bit or an initial bits.As a result, above-mentioned being used for need be divided into 109,715 bytes that will be packed by USSD message (768,000 divided by 7) to 768,000 bits that image is shown to the screen of 1024 * 750 pixels.In addition, data head information, for example, logical screen size, image description symbol, rear projection screen colour and graphics file format title etc. also need to be included in the USSD message.After portable terminal received 109,715 bytes, graphic image data was extracted, and was converted back to its original form, and it comprises data head, and comprising the attribute of screen, colour and position, actual graphic image array is followed in the back.
Fig. 4 is the block diagram of total layout that explanation is used for the binary graphics pictorial data is packaged into the conversion process of USSD message.As previously mentioned, the binary data stream in gif file 160 is divided by the group 176 of 7 bits, and each be reformatted into the byte 150 of 8 bits.A remaining bit is used to the USSD purposes.The byte 150 of reformatting is then by using USSD message 140 packaged.In each USSD message, data head represents which destination and application item module need receive this character data, and the formative character data of character string part 142 packings.If gif file 160 is too big for single USSD message, then utilize a plurality of USSD message to transmit the binary graphics pictorial data dividually.In case portable terminal receives USSD message 140, the character data of packing is extracted and is transformed into again original gif file 160.During conversion process, suitable data head information 174 and re-assemblied for the actual image data 172 of original gif file.
Therefore, referring now to Fig. 5, on the figure, in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, shown the USSD message of packing gif file 160 (or a part of gif file), it has been converted into the data based on character.As described above, by the Bit data array is divided into 7-bit character data so that the content energy of gif file 160 with compatible mutually based on the carrier (for example USSD message 140) of character, USSD serial data section 142 can be utilized to transmit switched graphic image 160, and does not need different transfer mechanisms or agreement.
Fig. 6 illustrates to send the block diagram of graphic image to the server application item of client application item in accordance with the teachings of the present invention.Server application item module 200 is responsible for graphic image together with the data head information translation to send to the client application item module 200 that is positioned at portable terminal based on the data of character with them.Server application item 200 can pass through database storage inside user information requested, or it can externally receive information requested, as shown in the circuit 240 of the graphic image that received from facsimile machine by representative.Therefore, the receiving module 210 in server application item module 200 receives user's information requested from external node, or it is recovered in the storage source internally, and it is sent to conversion functional module 220.
Conversion functional module 220 obtains graphic image data file (for example gif file) and the binary data of storage is converted to as shown previously data based on character together with data head information.It also is loaded into a plurality of USSD message to the binary data of conversion in the time must transmitting whole gif file.The USSD message of packing switched GIF binary data is sent to sending function module 230 then, so that be sent to client application item module 300.As shown in Figure 1, these USSD message are sent to the USSD processor that is positioned at HLR or MSC then, so that physically be sent to portable terminal.These USSD message are physically transmitted dividually by utilizing control channel (for example Separate Dedicated Control Channel (SDCCH)) and Traffic Channel (TCH).
In case the USSD message that sends is moved terminal and receives, the USSD processor that is positioned at portable terminal arrives client application item module 300 to forwards.Be positioned at the USSD message of the receiving module 330 intercepting receptions of application item module 300, and extract the graphic image data of packing.The data of extracting are sent to conversion functional module 320 then, and the latter is not only based on the data of character but also be converted to original GIF data.This is by extracting seven Bit datas from one eight bit byte and rearranging them and represent original Bit data array to finish.
In the data that conversion is extracted, conversion functional module 320 at first needs to find out the form of the image file of packing.Types of image file formats comprises but is not restricted to:
-GIF: graphic interchange format;
-JPEG: joint photographic expert group;
-ACR:ACR-NEMA medical images file;
-BMP: bitmap format file;
-PCX: paintbrush picture form;
-CGM: the inferior file (metafile) of computer graphical;
-HDF: hexadecimal data form;
-P3D: the inferior file of the supercomputing center 3D of Pittsburgh (Pittsburg);
-RTF: generic text form;
-MPEG: moving frame expert group;
-FLI: animation file form
Conversion functional module need know which graphical format is used to the remainder of suitable translation data header together with graph data.The variation of graphical format and number as shown in top, are not limited to inventory listed above.As one man admit the data converted that it is mutual as long as be positioned at the conversion functional module 220 of server application item 200 with the conversion functional module 320 that is positioned at client application item 300, just can utilize any form.After finding out current graphics file format, thereby the data of extraction are converted back to their original data formats.
Again Zhuan Huan GIF or graphic image data are sent to user's application item functional module 310 then, are attached to or are in display unit 340 in the portable terminal so that be displayed on.User's application item functional module 310 can be by finishing this demonstration task to the GIF feeds of data to video and graphic array (VGA) driver 342 relevant with display unit 340.
Client application item module 300 need be positioned at portable terminal practically, so that accept, change and the display graphics image.On the other hand, server application item module 200 can be arranged in a plurality of different nodes of mobile telecommunications network.Fig. 7 is the block diagram that explanation is positioned at the server application item 200 of the MSC 130 that serves for specific portable terminal 100.The graphic image of user's request is recovered or received to the server application item module 200 that is positioned at MSC 130, and the binary data of representative of graphics image is converted to the data based on character of USSD compatibility.As shown in Figure 6, data converted is loaded on the USSD message then like this, and is sent to the USSD processor that is positioned at MSC 130.MSC 130 and USSD message sent to base station controller 310.Base station controller 310 is found out the specific base stations 300 that covers the current cellular cell that is taken by portable terminal 100, and USSD message is sent to this specific base stations 300.Base station 300 is gone up at non-service communication channel (for example Separate Dedicated Control Channel (SDCCH)) then and is sent USSD message to portable terminal 100.SDCCH be by GSM or PCS network system by one of control channel of utilizing time division multiple access (TDMA) technology and providing, and be often used in system signaling during foundation before the distribution service channel (TCH) is called out.For example, carry out user's login and authentication by SDCCH.In case portable terminal 100 receives USSD message, the USSD processor that is positioned at portable terminal 100 is consulted the USSD data head information relevant with the USSD message that receives, and determines which application item need receive this message.As a result, this client application item module 310 is forwarded the message with USSD, in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, is extracted based on the data of character, and is converted back to their original binary data format again.Again Zhuan Huan binary data (for example gif file) is imported into the VGA driver then, so that be displayed on the LCD unit.By utilizing SDGCH without Traffic Channel (TCH), portable terminal 100 can be on the LCD unit display graphics image, and the user simultaneously with another telecommunication user dialogue.
