When making a call elsewhere during, during call establishment, produce signaling with mobile node so that produce such as alarms such as ring back tones at the mobile node place in the terminating of mobile node place.This alarm is to the call arrangement of the user of mobile node warning to it.And the user of mobile node can accept this calling according to carrying out the similar mode of the mode of wired website off-hook with user by its traditional wired website.
When making a call at the mobile node place, user input is used for call identifying and needs the dialed digit of the website of terminating (being the callee), also according to by its similar mode of mode at the wired website of the tradition place input dialed digit relevant with the callee.Usually the call signaling process of user transparent is allowed realization and callee's calling.
Sometimes the dialling the number of shortening that is called as short codes (short code) or short dialing sign indicating number (shortdialing code) here is used for discerning specific designated service center in some zones.For example, in the U.S., some zones have the 9-1-1 emergency.And the 9-1-1 sign indicating number is called as emergency numbers sometimes.In zone with 9-1-1 service centre, when at telephonic station place input 9-1-1 sign indicating number, route the call to suitable 9-1-1 service centre, made things convenient for the urgent help that responds this calling thus.In other zones, for example, in Britain, from telephonic station by the input 9-9-9 code access emergency of calling.
Other service centres are also specified by short codes.For example, in some zones by the access directory service center of calling at telephonic station input 4-1-1.And, in some other zone, by the input 1-9-2 sign indicating number access directory service center of calling.In addition, in some zones, help, and in some other zone, help by the input short code 1-0-0 access operation person that calls by input digit " 0 " the access operation person that calls.
When the communication site in this place's input short code is mobile node, it is the zone of first digital collection or sequence that mobile node may be arranged in the short code of having specified the special services center type, and sometimes, mobile node may be arranged in the zone that the short code of having specified the special services center type is different digital set or sequence.For example, mobile node may be arranged in the zone that the short code that is associated with emergency comprises the 9-1-1 numeral at first, and after a while, is arranged in the zone that the short code that is associated with emergency comprises the 9-9-9 Serial No..
Therefore, the home network that is associated with mobile node, the comparatively familiar network of user that is generally mobile node can use the employed short code of the home network that is associated with mobile node (promptly preferably, such as for the speed dialling purpose, at the mobile node place by the known short code of user or the short code of being stored) different short codes.
If imported the short code that the service centre that need call out with the user of mobile node is associated in the position that utilizes different short code access services center, then can't be linked into desired service centre.
Therefore, need a kind of short code of can utilizing better that the mode of the call arrangement from the mobile node to the service centre is provided.That is, need following mode: consider mobile node intrinsic mobility, thereby make user remain and can insert by the service centre that the input short code inserts by mobile node, and with the location independent of mobile node when to service centre's configuration call.
This needs to realize according to this background information relevant with communication in the radio communications system that has developed in a large amount of improvement of the present invention.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, advantageously, the present invention proposes a kind of equipment and correlation technique, so that the user of mobile node with call arrangement to the service centre that can discern by short dialing sign indicating number (for example 9-1-1 or 9-9-9 short dialing sign indicating number), for example emergency dispatch center or directory service center by the user of mobile node.
By the operation of the embodiment of the invention, proposed a kind ofly will be commonly used to discern the short dialing sign indicating number and the mobile node mode that employed replacement short dialing sign indicating number is associated in the network of its registration of service centre by the user.
Sometimes the short dialing sign indicating number is different in zones of different.That is, the short dialing sign indicating number is geographical unique sometimes.When using mobile node at the area communication that utilizes difference to dial the number, the user of mobile node needn't know or understand these different dialling the number.Can continue to use by the common employed short dialing sign indicating number of user by the user, and with when using the short dialing sign indicating number to be configured to the calling of designated service center, the position (mobile node is to the network of its registration) of mobile node has nothing to do.
If desired,, the short dialing sign indicating number of importing in the mobile node place is replaced, and dial the number to substitute the code of being imported with replacing (promptly replacing) at the mobile node place.Because the user of mobile node needn't know by the employed short dialing sign indicating number of heterogeneous networks so that with call arrangement to suitable service centre, so more may finish the calling that need be configured to designated service center.
In one aspect of the invention, after the network registration that mobile node communicates, produce request message at mobile node at the mobile node place.This request message has formed the request that is used to ask operator's specific short codes of being associated to the network of its registration with mobile node.This request message is represented according to this request institute's information requested and optional additional information.For example, the additional information that comprises alternatively as the part of request message comprises: being used to discern will provide in response to the request of request message and will offer the language indicator of language of the information of mobile node.And this request message also comprises the indication of mobile node to the network of its registration alternatively.
For example, when finishing conventional registration procedures, automatically produce this message.And, correspondingly,, will turn back to mobile node to the response of this message receiving it when also responding this information and retrieving adequate information.Perhaps, response user's instruction produces this message.That is, initiate to produce this request message by the user.The user selects request can utilize it to carry out that employed short dialing sign indicating number downloads to mobile node in the network operating mobile node.For example, by encourage user's input stimulus device (for example, the keyboard of excitation mobile node) to carry out this selection such as the user.Respond this user and select, produce and transmit this request message by mobile node.Be not configured to provide former generation mobile node to be suitable for allowing generation to produce this request message by manual initiation to the automatic generation of such request message.When the communication system of operating therein when mobile node comprises GSM (global system for mobile communications) cellular communication system, the request message that produces by manual initiation is such as USSD (unstructured supplementary service data)-formatting messages.And, in such system, also be the USSD-formatting messages to this request responding.
In another aspect of this invention, mobile node detects the response to this request message.This response comprise indicate mobile node to its registration, maybe to will be configured to by its guiding by the network of the calling of the service centre of short dialing sign indicating number identification in the value of employed replacement short dialing sign indicating number.For example, also will represent alternatively to be included in the response that turns back to mobile node such as the added value of the memonic symbol that is associated with replacement short dialing sign indicating number.
In another aspect of this invention, the value of detected expression being replaced the value of short dialing sign indicating number and turning back to the memonic symbol of mobile node offers index.The short dialing sign indicating number that index will be used for discerning one or more service centres at the mobile node place with turn back to mobile node and together by replacement short dialing sign indicating number index that detector detected.If desired, also together with memonic symbol or any additional information index of being associated with short dialing sign indicating number or its related service center.In case index together, can confirm easily then that mobile node is dialled the number and it substitutes mapping between dialling the number.
When the user of mobile node imports the short dialing sign indicating number with call arrangement during to service centre, the digital value of input dial sign indicating number is mapped to corresponding replacement dialing code value.And, substitute dialling the number of input with the corresponding dialing code value of replacing.In case substituted, then carry out other normal calling procedure with call arrangement to service centre.Because dialling the number of being imported by replacement dial the number substitute, therefore, can finish (being terminating) this calling at suitable service centre place.Even the user of mobile node has not also known to dispose therein employed dialling the number in the network of calling out, also can finish calling.And the user of mobile node must not know that even importing the dialling the number of calling that is configured to selected service centre is not used in the zone that the user makes a call.When this process is carried out automatically, according to the complete transparent way of user of mobile node being carried out request that replacement is dialled the number and to the transmission of this request responding.Since the user of mobile node can be better to complete service centre calling and with the location independent that user when making a call and mobile node are positioned at, therefore, be convenient to the acceptance of user to this mobile node.And, when service centre forms to its request during to the emergency of the request of emergency services, dial the number to substitute the input dial sign indicating number and guaranteed to finish necessary calling (for example promptly calling of help of request) better and realized suitable help with replacing.
Mobile node can be positioned in the zone that the short dialing sign indicating number of comparing bigger quantity in the usually operated attributed region of mobile node with the short dialing number of codes that can use can be used.That is, response is downloaded the request of dialling the number of replacing to mobile node, will download to mobile node more than the dialling the number of short dialing sign indicating number that keeps in the mobile node place.Except with its index dialling the number together, one or more additional replacements are dialled the number and can be used at the mobile node place.Keep described additional replacement to dial the number at the mobile node place, and such as can on user display, showing relative mark, so that the availability of the additional short dialing sign indicating number that User Recognition is associated with one or more Additional Services center.
Can also on user display, show and any related memonic symbol or other marks of short dialing sign indicating number, so that the User Recognition of mobile node is used for initiating availability to the short dialing sign indicating number of the calling of suitable service centre by the user.For example, can be on the user display of mobile node display icon etc.And, can also be presented on the user display according to the memonic symbol of appropriate languages.Also downloading in the request of mobile node and comprising the language preference replacing the short dialing sign indicating number alternatively, and downloading any memonic symbol that is downloaded to mobile node according to included language in the language preference of being asked.
