Embodiment
To describe the preferred embodiments of the present invention in detail now, its example illustrates in the accompanying drawings.In the situation that do not deviate from spirit of the present invention or protection range, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that and to make in the present invention multiple remodeling and variation.Thus, suppose each remodeling of the present invention and change to have fallen in additional claims and equivalent scope thereof, then the present invention has covered these remodeling and variation.
The present invention definition is based on the more privacy profile of customer position information and therefore have the process of request user authorization before preferential position that report is arranged by corresponding user or the positional information in the priority area.
Usually, adding privacy profile in its customer position information service, Internet Service Provider should always obtain positional information, and the user can be by arranging this privacy profile register (PPR), privacy exception list (PEL), privacy checks the frequent privacy profile that change such as entity (PCE).And implied terms should usually be to deny this location trial.Applicable default treatment in the time of should in the object UE subscription profile, not being defined in not the response from targeted customer or subscriber equipment (UE).Therefore, for some location-based service, default treatment can be to accept Location Request, yet for other location-based services, this default treatment can be that attempt the refusal location.
Local network should have definition wherein allows to provide the positional information of object UE according to various management and/or network requirement needs the performance of default contexts.
Should in object UE user's internal environment, carry out privacy inspection.These be so that the operator can guarantee themselves user's privacy,, are used for privacy setting that privacy checks always up-to-date and according to the regulation of object UE user's internal environment that is.
The privacy inspection should be considered such as constantly, the internal environment customizing messages of customer location etc.Should guarantee to check according to up-to-date information and executing privacy available in internal environment.
And this object UE user should be able to limit access location information (for good and all or based on each trial ground).Should limit the LCS client access, unless in the object UE subscription profile, be otherwise noted.Equally, to the specific license of localizing objects UE, object UE should not be positioned.
Usually, specific locality, country, and the private rule in area must meet the location information service of adding privacy profile, and location information service can need multilayer to permit.For example, can exist specific privacy exceptions to meet the service (for example emergency services or lawful intercept) based on the position of ordering of national or local management expectancy needs.
Sometimes, the operator should be able to determine the position (for example, being used for legal interception or urgent call) of object UE.For emergency services (wherein local management expectancy needs), no matter the object UE of making urgent call can be positioned and the user's relevant with the object UE of making calling (perhaps ME) privacy profile value.
Preferably, this object UE user should attempt not notified any position.Except ecdemic management expectancy needs, perhaps the object UE user refuses, and only having can localizing objects UE when allowing in the UE subscription profile.
Simultaneously, for public-land mobile network (PLMN) operator service, object UE user also can limit the positional information that access is used for strengthening or supporting particular type of service.Should limit the LCS client access, unless in the object UE subscription profile, be otherwise noted.Preferably, this object UE user should notified any authorized location not attempt.And, for legal interception service (wherein local management expectancy needs), localizing objects UE under all situations that can need at the management expectancy of locality.
Therefore, should carry out whole position requests (LR) with the privacy inspection, except following situation: 1) about the LR of legal interception; 2) LR relevant with urgent call; 3) from be used for statistics and O﹠amp; The LR of relevant service network is followed the tracks of in the anonymity of M purpose; With 4) by the LR from local network of home network operator for its inside purpose request.
Home network operator should not used without the privacy inspection and be used for value-added service from the UE positional information that accesses network obtains, and this positional information of perhaps passing on is to any third party.
Here, as an example of the present invention, in the PPR of prior art, based on five privacy profile with above-mentioned 3GPP definition, can add more eight archives (6-13) to carry out user notification and check according to the active user position.Here, eight of this interpolation archives can be used for according to user's current location different private situations being set respectively.
With 13 privacy profile that in PPR, define based on 3GPP that are described below as example of the present invention.
1) do not allow the location.
2) allow the location and do not notify the user.
3) allow location and notice to the user.
4) positioning requirements user's notice and check; If only have when being permitted by the user or allowing the location during not to the response of notice;
5) positioning requirements user's notice and check; Only have and when being permitted by the user, allow the location;
6) report position information requires notice and the check based on the user of current location; Carry out the location and do not notify the user and the report of executing location information when being permitted by the user or do not receive about any response of notifying.
7) report position information requires notice and the check based on the user of current location; Carry out the location and do not notify the user and only have the report of executing location information when being permitted by the user.
8) report position information requires notice and the check based on the user of current location; After notifying the user, carry out the location and the report of executing location information when being permitted by the user or do not receive about any response of notifying.
9) report position information requires notice and the check based on the user of current location; Carry out the report of locating and only having executing location information when being permitted by the user after notifying the user.
10) report position information requires notice and the check based on the user of current location; Carry out notice and check processing to carry out afterwards the location by the user.Even permitted or do not receiving in the situation about any response of notice to carry out this location by the user.And, only have the report of executing location information when by subscriber authorisation.
11) report position information requires notice and the check based on the user of current location; Carry out notice and check processing to carry out afterwards the location by the user.Even permitted or do not receiving in the situation about any response of notice to carry out this location by the user.And, even carry out report such as the positional information of location by subscriber authorisation or when not receiving any response about notice.
12) report position information requires notice and the check based on the user of current location; Only have and when being permitted by the user, carry out notice by the user and check processing to carry out afterwards the location.And, even permitted or the report of executing location information when not receiving any response about notice by the user.
13) report position information requires notice and the check based on the user of current location; Only have and when being permitted by the user, carry out notice by the user and check processing to carry out afterwards the location.And, even the report of executing location information when being permitted by the user.
Here, privacy profile of the present invention is corresponding to 6) to 13).For in by the preferential position of user preset or priority area before report position information request user authorization, need to provide additional process with the positional value request user authorization based on calculating after the location of carrying out corresponding user.To provide summary description for the method for location information service that provides according to the present invention now.
At first, whether the specific user uses one of privacy profile value relevant with its positional information to arrange from one or more positions or regional transmission its positional information to the three users or other network entity.Position or the zone of the privacy profile that here, wherein user's setting is relevant with its positional information are set to a user preferred areas.That is to say, when mobile, this user can arrange one or more user preferred areas and for the privacy profile of each priority area.
Privacy profile in the priority area that has been arranged by the user namely, can be stored in PPR or independent memory cell about the information that whether sends user's positional information and whether ask to carry out for the processing of subscriber authorisation.
When the 3rd user or network entity request user's positional information, this specific user connect PPR with check with by the relevant privacy profile of the positional information of user's setting.
If privacy profile is about based on the request of active user position notice and check, the specific user checks whether send user's positional information and whether ask to carry out information for the processing of subscriber authorisation.Then the specific user determines whether to send corresponding user's positional information.Then can carry out for the subsequent process from the location information request of the 3rd user or another network entity.
Fig. 2 shows the signal flow graph according to the embodiment of the method be used to location information service is provided of the present invention, and it describes Mobile Termination position requests (MT-LR) process in packet service (PS) territory and circuit service (CS) territory.
Be used for realizing that the network of location information service can comprise LCS client 41, GMLC43,45 and 49, Home Location Register (HLR)/home subscriber server (HSS) 47, Information Mobile Service switching center (MSC)/Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) 51, and Radio Access Network (RAN) 53, and ask targeted customer's (for example, object UE) of its positional information.
GMLC can comprise the request GMLC (below be called as R-GMLC) 43 of the network of request position information, as this locality-GMLC 45 of the GMLC of user's local network (below be called as H-GMLC), and move to access-GMLC (being called as V-GMLC) 49 of its GMLC as user when the user moves to the 3rd network.
In the present invention, suppose that LCS client 41 moves to the 3rd network from the targeted customer 55 of its request position information.The targeted customer can only be called the user below 55.
External position services client (following only be called as LCS client) 41 send LOCATIONINFORMATION REQUEST (location information request) message (for example, LCS service request) to R-GMLC 43 with the relevant positional information (S21) of request and specific targeted customer 55.
The R-GMLC 43 that has received LOCATION INFORMATION REQUEST (location information request) message checks LCS clients 41 ID and checks its whether available client.Then R-GMLC 43 checks to store whether therein user's privacy profile.Here, if privacy profile is stored among the R-GMLC 43, R-GMLC 43 is H-GMLC45 of user 55 and therefore can skips for a series of processing (S22 and S23) of the address that obtains H-GMLC 45 with for the processing (S24 and S37) that exchanges messages between R-GMLC 43 and H-GMLC 45.If R-GMLC 43 has known the address of H-GMLC 45, can skip the processing (S22 and S23) of this address for obtaining H-GMLC 45.
If R-GMLC 43 is not H-GMLC 45 and the address of not knowing H-GMLC 45, R-GMLC 43 sends ROUTING INFORMATION REQUEST (routing iinformation request) message (for example, sending the routing iinformation of LCS) to the HLR/HSS47 of user's the local network address (S22) with request H-GMLC 45.HLR/HSS 47 checks the positional information of whether authorizing R-GMLC 43 requests and user 55 relevant.After this, HLR/HSS 47 uses ROUTING INFORMATION REQUEST RESULT (routing iinformation request results) message (for example, being used for the transmission routing iinformation that LCS confirms) to send the address of H-GMLC 45 to R-GMLC 43 (S23).
The R-GMLC 43 that has received ROUTING INFORMATION REQUEST RESULT (routing iinformation request results) message (for example sends LOCATIONINFORMATION REQUEST (location information request) message relevant with user 55, the LCS service request) to H-GMLC 45 (S24), then it access the PPR (not shown) to check the privacy setting (S25) relevant with user 55 positional information.Here, when checking that privacy arranges, H-GMLC 45 checks the possibility of location.
If possible carry out user 55 location, H-GMLC 45 sends ROUTINGINFORMATION REQUEST (routing iinformation request), and message (for example, the transmission routing iinformation that is used for LCS) to the address (S26) of HLR/HSS 47 with inspection V-GMLC 49 and SGSN and/or VMSC/MSC 51, and use ROUTING INFORMATIONREQUEST RESULT (routing iinformation request results) message (for example, being used for the transmission routing iinformation that LCS confirms) from the HLR/HSS 47 reception SGSNs relevant with user 55 and/or the address (S27) of VMSC/MSC 51 and V-GMLC 49.
This H-GMLC 45 sends LOCATION INFORMATION REQUEST (location information request) message (for example, LCS service request) to corresponding V-GMLC 49 (S28) by checking its address that is included in ROUTING INFORMATIONREQUEST RESULT (routing iinformation request results) message.The V-GMLC 49 that has received LOCATIONINFORMATION REQUEST (location information request) message carry out and user 55 MT-LR process for the location (S29) about user 55.Describe afterwards this MT-LR process in detail.
V-GMLC 49 uses LOCATION INFORMATION RESPONSE (location information response) message (for example, LCS service response) to send the positional information relevant with user 55 by carrying out the MT-LR process computation to H-GMLC 45 (S30).The H-GMLC 45 that has received LOCATION INFORMATION RESPONSE (location information response) message checks that active users 55 privacy arranges to determine that the positional information relevant with corresponding user 55 is whether corresponding to the priority area (S31) of the setting in the privacy.
During being used for checking the processing (S25 and S31) of privacy setting, if added privacy profile among inspection the present invention, namely, if privacy profile is based on active user's position requests notice and check, H-GMLC 45 carries out a series of processing (S32 is to S36) and whether reports that to check the positional information relevant with user 55 is to LCS client 51.
If the privacy profile for user 55 is interior notice and the check of request ad-hoc location or zone, and active user position or zone are the priority areas that carry out notice and check to it, this H-GMLC 45 sends ROUTING INFORMATION REQUEST (routing iinformation request), and message (for example, the transmission routing iinformation that is used for LCS) gives the address (S32) of HLR/HSS 47 with request V-GMLC 49 and SGSN and/or VMSC/MSC 51, and by the information (S33) of ROUTING INFORMATION REQUEST RESULT (routing iinformation request results) message (for example, being used for the transmission routing iinformation that LCS confirms) from HLR/HSS 47 its addresses of reception.Here, in the situation that H-GMLC 45 has known this address information, the processing (S32 and S33) that should be used for the address of inspection SGSN and/or VMSC/MSC 51 and V-GMLC 49 is carried out alternatively.
H-GMLC 45 sends NOTIFICATIONREQUEST (notice request) message that is used for request user notification and check moves to its network to user 55 V-GMLC 49 (S34).The V-GMLC 49 that has received NOTIFICATION REQUEST (notice request) message carries out with corresponding user's 55 notifier processes whether report this positional information (S35) to check.Here, describe this in detail according to notifier processes of the present invention with reference to relevant accompanying drawing.
Whether V-GMLC 49 check by the relevant positional information of notifier processes report and user 55 to LCS client 41, and by comprising that in NOTIFICATION RESPONSE (push-notification-answer) message the result sends the result of inspection to H-GMLC 45 (S36).Here, this result who is included in the message of response can be by with attribute, parameter, and element, the indication of value etc. represents.When V-GMLC 49 during notification procedure not from user's 55 acceptance inspections as a result the time, V-GMLC 49 uses internal timers that the specific duration is carried out countdown, and result's NOTIFICATION RESPONSE (push-notification-answer) message that after this sends the unsuccessful reception that comprises advise fate is to H-GMLC 45.
H-GMLC 45 according to be included in NOTIFICATION RESPONSE (push-notification-answer) message end value or and be used for the consistency of condition of the transmission of positional information, send comprise the positional information relevant with user 55 LOCATION INFORMATIONRESPONSE (location information response) message to R-GMLC 43 (S37).R-GMLC 43 sends LOCATION INFORMATION RESPONSE (location information response) message to LCS client 41 (S38).Here, message comprises for value or the indication of the not licensing status of report customer position information or does not meet pre-conditioned for the transmission of positional information, these H-GMLC 45 not reports of authorized location information of notice LCS client 41 if NOTIFICATION is RESPONSE (push-notification-answer).
Fig. 3 and 4 is signal flow graphs that detailed MT-LR process S29 as shown in Figure 2 is shown respectively, it is described in carries out this S21 corresponding to as shown in Figure 2 to the processing of S28 after, is circuit service (CS) territory or packet service (PS) territory and the MT-LR process of realization differently according to active user's service network.
