Abstract

The method involves using a configured access control platform for redirecting requests destined to the platforms that are incorrect, toward another service identification platform. The available information is utilized by the another service identification platform for the identification of the service to which the user desires to agree by analyzing parameters of the received request such as direction and reception port, used protocol, content of the request, and once identifying the service, appropriate actions to correct the configuration are initiated.

Description

Método para la detección de configuraciones incorrectas de acceso a servicios en terminales móviles y su corrección posterior.Method for configuration detection incorrect access to services in mobile terminals and their post correction

Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

El método descrito permite detectar automáticamente la configuración incorrecta de un terminal móvil al intentar este el acceso a los servicios de datos del operador y permite así la corrección de los mismos mediante alguno de los métodos ya existentes.The described method allows to detect automatically incorrect configuration of a mobile terminal at try this access to operator data services and It allows the correction of the same by any of the existing methods

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

Para acceder a los servicios de un operador móvil, se requieren diferentes parámetros en el terminal en función de los sistemas a los que el terminal debe conectarse para solicitar el servicio.To access the services of an operator mobile, different parameters are required in the terminal depending on of the systems to which the terminal must connect to Request the service.

Actualmente existen sistemas que permiten la configuración de estos parámetros de manera remota. No obstante, el inicio de la configuración requiere la intervención del usuario bien sea mediante una llamada al servicio de atención al cliente, el acceso a una página WEB o WAP o algún otro método similar. Otra limitación de estas soluciones es que la configuración se envía sin saber si realmente los problemas en el acceso a los servicios se deben a que los parámetros existentes en el terminal son incorrectos.There are currently systems that allow configuration of these parameters remotely. However, the Start of configuration requires user intervention either by calling customer service, access to a WEB or WAP page or some other similar method. Other limitation of these solutions is that the configuration is sent without know if really the problems in accessing services are because the parameters in the terminal are incorrect.

Platform responsible for filtering requests between different network elements (including mobile terminal). Habitually it is a firewall with analysis capability at least until Layer 3 of the OSI network stack.

c)C)
Plataforma de identificación de servicio. Plataforma encargada de identificar el servicio al que el usuario desea acceder a partir del contenido de la petición.Identification platform service. Platform responsible for identifying the service to which the user wants to access from the content of the petition.

La presente invención se basa en el uso de la plataforma de control de acceso a servicios existente en una red móvil. Esta plataforma impide accesos no permitidos en cuanto a protocolos de comunicación no soportados, direcciones y puertos de acceso no apropiados, etc., descartando las peticiones en caso de que alguno de estos parámetros sea incorrecto.The present invention is based on the use of the existing service access control platform in a network mobile. This platform prevents unauthorized access in terms of unsupported communication protocols, addresses and ports of inappropriate access, etc., discarding requests in case of that any of these parameters is incorrect.

Entre las razones posibles para los intentos de acceso no apropiados se encuentra la incorrecta configuración del terminal del usuario. Este nuevo método redirige todas las peticiones incorrectas a una nueva plataforma, la plataforma de identificación de servicio.Among the possible reasons for attempts to improper access is the incorrect configuration of the user terminal This new method redirects all incorrect requests to a new platform, the platform of service identification

Esta plataforma utiliza la información disponible para la identificación del servicio al que el usuario desea acceder. Para esta identificación se analizan parámetros de la petición recibida como dirección y puerto destino, protocolo utilizado, contenido de la petición.This platform uses the information available for the identification of the service to which the user want to access For this identification, parameters of the request received as address and destination port, protocol used, content of the request.

Una vez identificado el servicio, es posible desencadenar las acciones oportunas para corregir la configuración, como por ejemplo enviar al usuario una notificación o los nuevos parámetros.Once the service is identified, it is possible trigger the appropriate actions to correct the configuration, such as sending the user a notification or the new ones parameters
