Another example to the useful value added characteristic of mobile subscriber is to shorten dial-up service, and a kind of form wherein is the international code dialling that inserts.This specific character is particularly useful for the user of roaming in the world, need know that the world of each coverage that is applied to be run into or country inserts code because it removes the user from.Code is inserted in this world, when subsequently the time, the Cellular Networks of serving being shown that the number of being dialled is an international call, should correspondingly arrange route by the number of being dialled.The international in typical case code that inserts changes with zone or country, and for the user of roaming, it usually is inconvenient will remembering these codes when they need talk through the overseas telephone.For example, wish that the caller of a North America talking through the overseas telephone must dial 011 (the international code that inserts), generally follow that city codes (if call out a cellular number then be network code) is telephone number at last by country code.Table A illustrates some the international code (IAC) that inserts that talks through the overseas telephone necessary to some country of giving an example.
| Country | IAC |
| Sweden | 009 |
| The North America | 011 |
| Norway | 095 |
| Finland | 990 |
Table A
Exist at present when the roaming for the network of foundation global system for mobile communications (GSM) wireless standard (though being useful on the ongoing standardization effort of in other wireless standards such as IS-136, implementing) operation and a kind ofly to make overseas call than the solution that is easier to dozen.Originally the GSM standard of introducing as general-Ou digital standard begins to design from international roaming between promotion CEPT (the ConferenceEuropeenne des Postes et Telecommunications) country.The GSM solution is also referred to as the plus sige code dialling, allows the caller to replace inserting code by remaining numeric string world subsequently by a special symbol of input ("+" key on portable terminal) and realizes shortening dialing.This portable terminal conversion is somebody's turn to do "+" symbol and numeric string is defined as " world " and calls out.When numeric string was sent to network, this portable terminal was deleted "+" symbol and this numeric string is sent to network from numeric string, and indicating it simultaneously is an international call.In service network mobile switching centre (MSC), this numeric string is identified as " international ", therein this cue mark is converted to the suitable world and inserts code, be added to and also correspondingly arrange route in the numeric string.
A difficulty using the roamer of this solution to face is to dispose inconsistent to aspect the plus sige code dialling.This is because this characteristic is that optionally the network operator can select not support this specific character.Therefore user who fails to foresee may roam in the network of not supporting this characteristic.In this case, the user wishes to be preferably on the portable terminal and to receive notice timely, promptly lacks aspect the characteristic that is used to talk through the overseas telephone and supports.In addition, this notification technique even have, also can not easily be applied on different system standard and the system type.Thereby, an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of user of making is alerted to the characteristic that is not supported immediately when attempting to use mechanism.
Summary of the invention
By describing concisely and a kind of embodiment of foundation, the present invention discloses a kind of method and system, is used for notice and exists, for example, a kind of roamer who visits honeycomb online operation portable terminal, whether a kind of shortening dial-up service characteristic, as the plus sige code dialling, by this network support.In one embodiment of the present invention, this method comprises monitoring is used to broadcast the information that sends on Broadcast Control Channel control channel.Be included on this Broadcast Control Channel is a kind of services menu message that contains the information element of the service characteristic that multiple sign network supported.If a kind of " address information map " information element can obtain and by this network support, then plus sige code dialling service characteristic is supported, vice versa.If the plus sige code dialling is not supported, the user attempts by input, and for example, "+" key uses this service characteristic in numeric string, and a kind of predetermined notification message is shown in terminal immediately, indicates this characteristic and is not supported.This method can send to terminal from network and announces the rearranging of warning/interposition message and utilize the step of notifying the user selectively by using.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED
The present invention points to a kind of mechanism, is used to notify the mobile subscriber specified characteristic, inserts code dialling (plus sige code dialling), not serviced network support as the world of shortening.According to a kind of embodiment of the present invention, a kind of foundation is by Electronic Industries Association and Telecommunications Industry Association (EIA/TIA) defined, and the Cellular Networks of TDMA (time division multiple access) IS-136 Rev A digital wireless standards operation is described from characteristic.Yet, person of skill in the art will appreciate that the present invention is applicable to the standard of other TDMA base, for example, global system for mobile communications (GSM) and personal digital cellular (PDC).For simplicity, this backward the term portable terminal will be called terminal for short.
Wish to use the network operator who serves a new zone the cellular service international roaming the user in typical case can by connect simply his/her terminal and the process that is called as registration carry out work.Registration is a kind of such process, and terminal is its distinguishing mark in view of the above, and position and other are notified current network for information about, and making user's local network to be determined whether to insert this network by inquiry should be allowed.Used exemplary factor for example can comprise in determining, user's advance payment value and current bill information, sure determine after, the IS-136 terminal is carried out preliminary reading to being used at the digital control channel (DCCH) of the last broadcast message of Fast Broadcast Control Channel (FBCCH) when powering on or reselect.Yet, must carry out after at least one complete cycle at reading F-BCCH any access attempts (comprising registration) of system.Provide by the service catalogue of network support, can or be broadcasted by the services menu message of a plurality of information elements (IE) regulations at F-BCCH or on the Broadcast Control Channel (E-BCGH) of expansion, depend on, for example, the network operator be placed on this information priority and on F-BCCH available bandwidth.And reading E-BCCH also is optionally at this moment, is equivalent to terminal manufacturer in typical case when so doing.
Fig. 1 illustrates a kind of exemplary format for the services menu message of using according to embodiment.As to those skilled in the art are afamiliar with, services menu comprises the parameter by reference number 100 expressions, is used to determine exercisable characteristic and/or function at this network.Services menu comprises to indicate whether a specific character is by the sign of this network support.For example, the value that over the air, OTA (OATS) has in services menu is 1 to show and support that this function, value are 0 to show and do not support.Equally, SMS (Short Message Service) map is discerned this network support honeycomb message remote service to what degree, for example:
State of value
00 is not supported
X1 SMS SUMIT is supported
1X SMS DELIVER is supported
And terminal can determine whether to shorten the dial-up service characteristic from services menu message, as the plus sige code dialling by 110 supports of reading information key element " address information map ".This key element provides terminal about whether this network can utilize " address information " IE to transmit the information of calling out.Transmit to call out if IE shows can utilize by " address information " data that map provided, network will, for example, "+" symbol transition in numeric string is that the suitable world is inserted code and correspondingly transmitted and call out.On the contrary, if or services menu indicate and do not have international number by " address information " IE and be supported, perhaps information element directly is not provided, then terminal will indicate plus sige code dialling characteristic not by this network support to the user.When the user who attempts to talk through the overseas telephone imported "+" key, notice just produced, and a predetermined alert message therein is illustrated on the terminal display screen immediately, and indicating this characteristic can not work.In preferred embodiments, the enforcement of plus sige code characteristic usually should be by relevant standardization bodies submitted in the appendix to existing services menu message as (TIA TR 45.3), by the working stamndard support.
Fig. 2 is the detailed example that is applicable to a kind of " address information " map (for the IE 110 of Fig. 1) of described embodiment.Except code information (plus sige code dialling) was inserted in the world, shown information element is also discerned can be by various other the address informations of this network support.For example, national number or country code can be by map in services menu message, and represents a special character as " * " when the user imports, and "/", the assignment key that " # " waits, or be used for shortening during the number code in the input digit string and dial.Equally, when dialing cellular number, be used to discern the network code of a special Cellular Networks, for example, can be shortened by companion company extension number.
Fig. 3 illustrates a kind of flow chart of the exemplary steps according to the present invention operation, is used for notifying the user when inserting code service (plus sige code dialling) not by this network support as the world when a kind of shortening dialing characteristic.As shown in step 300, a kind of operational terminal is camped on the DCCH at the beginning.Start as shown in the step 310 as calling, the user attempts to be talked through the overseas telephone by numeric string "+" subsequently by input.In step 320, terminal is maked decision, and whether " address information " IE can obtain by the services menu message on the reading control channel broadcast message in identification.Services menu message can or F-BCCH or E-BCCH on be broadcasted, by network operator decision broadcasting to it.
If services menu message is broadcasted on F-BCCH, and can be read out." address information " IE can not get, and notifies the code dialling of user's plus sige not to be supported behind "+" key in the input digit string immediately.If " address information " IE exists, as shown in step 330, check to determine whether that " address information " is supported.This step produces, because the user may implement to read F-BCCH before calling is started because the IS-136 technical descriptioon is only required terminal read the call that starts before the E-BCCH (when services menu message is broadcasted) on E-BCCH.Equally, if " address information " is not supported, as shown in step 340, for example, notify the user by terminal display or the voice message that is recorded.If " address information " is supported, as shown in step 350, call origination message quilt and " type " number just are designated as " world " number and send together, insert code and correspondingly transmission calling by the suitable world of MSC conversion therein.
In other aspects of the present invention, the rearranging of " reason "/interposition message that the service characteristic that is not supported of notice can be set to " address information is not supported " by having sends to terminal.As known to those skilled in the art, rearrange/reason that action that the interposition step is used to notify the user to implement is once planned makes mistakes, for example, dialled the number of a mistake etc.Receive rearrange/interposition message after, terminal can utilize with previously described identical user interface with, for example, the form of display message or voice message warning user.This step does not resemble former technology, needs to use the communication traffic channel resource, so that send alarm notification, this may be undesirable.
Though the present invention is described in some aspects with reference to specific preferred embodiment, for a person skilled in the art, various variants and modifications will be tangible.Particularly, the present invention is not limited to the network according to the operation of IS-136 standard.Notion of the present invention is applicable to the network with different broadcast message forms, and wherein services menu message can be adapted to and for example supply, and GSM or personal digital cellular (PDC) standard is used.And exemplary plus sige code dialling method is not limited to use "+" key uniquely, because character is as " * ", "/" or a kind of number code of predesignating can be used to indicate the shortening dialing that all kinds are supported by " address information " IE.Therefore intention is that following claim does not provide a kind of restrictive explanation, and should be considered to comprise the various variants and modifications that derive from from disclosed subject matter of the present invention.
