Fig. 3 shows the flow chart of the illustrative method of being used by mobile communication equipment in handling urgency communication.This method can be used one or more multiprocessor, memory, user interface and wireless transceiver thereof (for example, referring to Fig. 1-2) are carried out in conjunction with above-mentioned related system assembly by mobile device.This method can also be implemented in the computer program, described computer program comprises that computer-readable medium (for example, memory or computer disk), storing in the described computer-readable medium can be by one of mobile device or the computer instruction carried out of multiprocessor (for example, microprocessor) more.
Usually, as mentioned above, the method for Fig. 3 relate to mobile device via wireless network that set up with urgent call public safety answering point (PSAP) entity.If urgent call disconnects, then mobile device is monitored to receive the incoming call message from the continuation urgent call of public safety answering point entity.In response to receiving this incoming call message, mobile device stop produce audible alarm and under the situation that does not detect any manual answering signal via its user interface automatic-answering back device from the continuation urgent call of public safety answering point entity.Therefore in continuing urgent call, obtained unavailable adequate information from initial urgent call.This information can comprise the geographical position that for example identifies mobile device, based on the positional information of GPS.In a concrete grammar, if this message of data indication indication that receives this incoming call message and this incoming call message in the time period after disconnecting is at continuing urgent call or automatic-answering back device, then mobile device automatic-answering back device should be called out.Receive this incoming call message outside this time period after disconnecting else if, if perhaps described data indication fails to indicate this incoming call message at continuing urgent call or automatic-answering back device, then the mobile device prevention is carried out automatic-answering back device to the calling that is associated with this incoming call message.
In begin block 300 beginning of Fig. 3, because the end user of mobile device may attempt carrying out audio call via cordless communication network, so mobile device is monitored its user interface to find user input signal (step 302 of Fig. 3).If processor detects call request (step 304 of Fig. 3) at audio call via user interface, then whether processor discerns this call request at urgent call (step 306 of Fig. 3).In order whether to discern this call request at urgent call, processor can discern this calling the predetermined codes that the user imported or selected (for example, 911 or similarly), with the corresponding predesignated subscriber of urgent call import selection (for example the user selects " emergency call " button or the icon that mobile device provides) or with mobile device sensor associated output signal (for example from mobile device " people falls down (man down) " signal).If this call request is at non-emergency call in step 306, then processor is carried out normal or conventional call establishment and the processing (step 308 of Fig. 3) at non-emergency call.
If as this call request of sign is at urgent call in step 306, then processor makes and to initiate urgent call (step 318 of Fig. 3) via wireless transceiver to the PSAP entity.In the moment of call setup, the ANI (ANI) or the caller-marking (calling part ID) that will be associated with mobile device are sent to PSAP entity (step 320 of Fig. 3).Ani information can be or comprise and the mobile logo that identifies this mobile device uniquely accords with corresponding number.The PSAP entity receives ani information and incoming call is made reply, and makes to set up and keep between mobile device and the PSAP entity urgent call (step 322 of Fig. 3) via wireless network.During calling out, mobile device is monitored to receive any location information request (for example, GPS position) (step 324 of Fig. 3) from the PSAP entity.If as the location information request that receives in step 324 sign, then processor makes and sends the corresponding positional information of using for the PSAP entity in the geographical position with mobile device.Can carry out this step at least in part by the technology of using Fig. 1 to describe.Alternatively, can spontaneously carry out the transmission (that is, after step 322, in step 324, not receiving under the situation of any request execution in step 326) of information by mobile radio station 102.Therefore the PSAP entity can obtain the geographical position of mobile device.
If conditions permit suitably transmits all necessary information during the urgent call between mobile device and the PSAP entity, make and suitably to handle this emergency.The example of adequate information comprise the end user of address, mobile device of geographical position (based on the geographical position of GPS), the position of mobile equipment of telephone number (ANI or calling part ID), the mobile radio station of mobile device and other relevant personnel name, help the end user to handle information of this emergency or the like.Yet this urgent call may hastily disconnect (step 328 of Fig. 3), makes suitably not transmit all relevant informations.This urgent call may disconnect with multitude of different ways.For example, mobile device may be under the covering that is in wireless network during the urgent call, but mobile device may be reset and be put (repositioned) or reorientation (relocated) subsequently, makes mobile device outside the coverage of wireless network, disconnects thereby cause calling out.As another example, urgent call may by the end user or the third party be casual or intentionally termination.
As described herein, use technology of the present disclosure, the PSAP entity can be to continue the form callback mobile device of urgent call.From this continuation urgent call of PSAP entity audio call that can be noiseless and/or automatic-answering back device.
If detect the disconnection of urgent call at step 328 processor of Fig. 3, then processor can be provided with and running timer (step 330 of Fig. 3).Mobile device can use this timer that is provided with in step 330 to limit from disconnecting the time period of beginning, and the PSAP entity can the callback mobile device in this time period.This time period is any position between 2-10 minute for example; Yet section can be suitable At All Other Times.
Processor will return with the user input signal (step 302) of supervisory user interface and via wireless transceiver monitoring incoming call message (step 310) then.In optimization technique, about step 302, processor is forbidden any calling that the end user attempts from mobile device via wireless network (any follow-up urgent call of being undertaken by the end user may except) in the time period that timer limits.After timer expired, processing will allow the end user to carry out the calling of attempting from this mobile device.
After disconnecting, during via the wireless transceiver monitoring message, can receive the incoming call message at audio call (step 312 of Fig. 3) that mails to mobile device in step 310.This incoming call message can at after disconnecting from the continuation urgent call of PSAP entity.ANI or calling part ID that the utilization of PSAP entity is associated with mobile device are carried out this continuation urgent call.If do not receive incoming call message in step 312, then processor continues supervisory user input signal and radio message in step 302 and 310.
Yet if receive the incoming call message that mails to mobile device in step 312, whether processor is discerned this incoming call message is at needing mobile device to make (step 314 of Fig. 3) of the calling of noiseless and/or automatic-answering back device.In first embodiment that is associated with step 314, if receive the incoming call message from the calling of PSAP entity in the time period that timer limited that is provided with in step 330, then processor makes this incoming call of automatic-answering back device (step 332 of Fig. 3) under the situation that does not detect any manual answering signal via the user interface of mobile device.In addition, processor stops generation to be used for any audible alarm that this calling is reported to the police.Yet if receive this incoming call message outside the time period that timer limits, processor makes carries out normal or standard call process (step 316 of Fig. 3) at this incoming call.For the standard call process, processor typically makes and produces audible alarm with this incoming call of reporting to the police to the end user at the mobile device place, and need processor (for example to detect the manual answering signal via user interface, detect braking, the rotation of mobile device shell or the slip of key or button) so that this calling is replied.
In second embodiment that is associated with step 314, if it is to continue urgent call (promptly that incoming call message comprises this calling of indication, at noiseless and/or automatic-answering back device) data indications, then make this incoming call of automatic-answering back device under the situation that does not detect any manual answering signal via the user interface of mobile device at step 332 processor.In addition, processor stops generation to be used for this calling is carried out any audible alarm of alarm.Referring to following discussion about Fig. 5.Yet,, make at step 316 processor this incoming call carried out normal or standard call process if this data indication fails to indicate this calling at continuing urgent call or noiseless automatic-answering back device.Equally, in the standard call process, processor typically makes and produces audible alarm at the mobile device place to end user's this incoming call of reporting to the police, and needs processor to detect the manual answering signal so that this calling is replied via user interface.
In the 3rd embodiment that is associated with step 314, if receive incoming call message in the time period that the timer that is provided with limits in step 330 from the calling of PSAP entity, and this incoming call message comprises that this calling of indication is to continue urgent call (promptly, be used for noiseless and/or automatic-answering back device) data indications, then processor makes this incoming call of automatic-answering back device under the situation that does not detect any manual answering signal via the user interface of mobile device in step 332.In addition, processor stops generation to be used for calling is carried out any audible alarm of alarm.Yet; if outside the time period that timer limits, receive this incoming call message; perhaps the data indication fails to indicate this calling at continuing urgent call or noiseless automatic-answering back device, then makes at step 316 processor incoming call is carried out normal or standard call process.Thereby in the 3rd embodiment, the equipment of initiating automatic/silent answer not only depends on the time period but also depend on the data indicator variable.
In the 4th embodiment that is associated with step 314, if receive incoming call message within the time period that the timer that is provided with limits in step 330 from the calling of PSAP entity, perhaps incoming call message comprises that this calling of indication is to continue urgent call (promptly, at noiseless and/or automatic-answering back device) data indications, then make this incoming call of automatic-answering back device under the situation that does not detect any manual answering signal via the user interface of mobile device at step 332 processor.In addition, processor stops generation to be used for this calling is carried out any audible alarm of alarm.Yet; if outside the time period that timer limits, receive this incoming call message; and the data indication fails to indicate this calling at continuing urgent call or noiseless automatic-answering back device, then makes at step 316 processor and carries out normal or standard call process at this incoming call.Thereby in the 4th embodiment, time period and data indicator variable are independently, and have advantageously provided the specific installation that is used to initiate automatic/silent answer.After step 332, should continue in mobile device automatic-answering back device under the situation of urgent call, mobile device will as step 322 indicated keep this continuation urgent call.Provide as flow chart, can come these steps of repetition as required.Continue urgent call and guarantee during the urgent call between mobile device and the PSAP entity, can suitably transmit the information that is necessary, make and suitably to deal with an urgent situation.
In a particular embodiment, the disconnection of urgent call is to be caused by the mobile device that situation outside the wireless network coverage takes place in step 328.After the situation, processor can identify the situation in the wireless network coverage that obtained outside the wireless network coverage that causes urgent call to disconnect.In response, processor makes to wireless network transmissions message.It is available once more to identify this mobile device that wireless network receives this message, and this message or corresponding message can be transferred into the PSAP entity to indicate mobile device available once more.After this, as the response to this message, the PSAP entity makes and continues urgent call to mobile device.
Fig. 5 shows the illustrative of incoming call message 502 and describes, this incoming call message 502 can have data indication 506, the indication 506 of described data is at one or more in the multidata section, whether indication incoming call message 502 is at the continuation urgent call (that is noiseless/automatic-answering back device) of mobile device.In this embodiment, incoming call message 502 is radio or air-interface information of broadcasting by control or paging channel on wireless network.According to environment or content, incoming call message 502 can be or be called beep-page message, call control message or call setup message.If data indication 506 is bit indications, for example can to indicate incoming call be to continue urgent call (promptly to bit " 1 ", calling at noiseless and/or automatic-answering back device), and bit " 0 " can to indicate incoming call be not to continue urgent call (that is, not at the calling of noiseless and/or automatic-answering back device).Incoming call message 506 also comprises other relevant information, as, identify the mobile logo symbol 504 of the mobile device that this incoming call will mail to uniquely.When message that monitoring is broadcasted, the processor of mobile device is operated so that the mobile logo symbol of mobile logo symbol 504 with himself storage compared, if coupling, then processor is carried out the action of describing about the step 314 of Fig. 3.
Notice, can also order mobile device voicelessly to reply this incoming call and do not produce the report to the police audible alarm of this calling to the end user at the identical data of automatic-answering back device indication 506.In alternative, use data indication 506 to indicate this incoming call to come automatic-answering back device by mobile device, indicate 506 different independent data to indicate with data to indicate whether voicelessly to reply this incoming call but be to use in the incoming call message.
Referring to Fig. 9, show the relevant portion of call flow diagram 900, in the call treatment of the present disclosure at the GSM/GPRS network so that the connection features at once that can use to be described.As describing in the GSM specification document, call flow diagram 900 is handled based on the GSM call control layer of mobile device.Notice that MNCC is the acronym that the mobile network calls out control, MMCC is the acronym that control is called out in mobile management.This processing can be undertaken by the step 312,314,316 and 320 of Fig. 3.Begin in step 904 (U9 MT CALL CONFIRMED), mobile device receives common non-emergency call in step 904, mobile device proceeds to step 906 (DR (ALERT)) after MNCC_ALERT_REQ, carry out step 908 (U7 CALL RECEIVED) then, after MNCC_SETUP_RESP, carry out step 910 (DR (CONN)) then, carry out step 912 (U8 CONNECTREQUEST) then.Yet, for continuing urgent call (perhaps noiseless/as to call out automatically), the step 902 (DR (CONN)) of handling process after step 904 (MTCALL CONFIRMED) proceeds directly to MNCC_SETUP_RESP carried out step 912 (U8 CONNECT REQUEST) then.Obviously, mobile device stops the step of carrying out at continuing urgent call (that is, noiseless/as to call out automatically) 906,908 and 910, but carries out MNCC_SETUP_RESP and step 902.This is through with about the discussion of Fig. 9.
Preferably, the calling of this mobile device is carried out automatically and/or silent answer, and with that can provide for mobile device and irrelevant by other programmable data indication of mobile device use.In order to illustrate, Fig. 6 is that the illustrative of the memory 602 of mobile device is described, and can store programmable data indication 604 and 606 in this memory 602.Programmable data indication 604 is used at the incoming call to mobile device audible alarm answer-mode or silent answer pattern being set, and programmable data indication 606 is used at the incoming call to mobile device manual answer mode or autoanswer mode being set.The part able to programme of programmable data indication 604 and 606 is that the end user can change these patterns when needed.The pattern of mobile device can be controlled and/or select to processor based on the user input signal that receives via the user input device of user interface.User input device can be or comprise for example one or more buttons or key of mobile device.In response to end user's locking key or key, processor can provide for example selection between the pattern or switching.Preferably, processor makes the graphic user interface (GUI) that provides in visual display unit or present, described graphic user interface comprise to be used for GUI button or the menu list that the end user selects between different mode.
Equally, the indication of the programmable data of Fig. 6 is used at the incoming call of mobile device audible alarm answer-mode or silent answer pattern being set.If the programmable data indication is the bit indication, then for example bit " 0 " can be indicated and will be used audible alarm answer-mode and bit " 1 " to use the silent answer pattern to incoming call by pointer at incoming call.Notice, can be used as the opposite bit definitions of alternative use or other bit configuration.For example, bit " 0 " can be indicated the equipment setting that will use at incoming call, and bit " 1 " can be indicated and will be used long-range silent answer control at incoming call.Typically, the incoming call message of normal calling voice being called out when processor receives to mobile device and audible alarm answer-mode when enabling, and processor makes and produces audible alarm with to this incoming call of end user's alarm via user interface.On the other hand, the incoming call message of normal calling voice being called out when processor receives to mobile device and silent answer pattern when enabling, processor stop via user interface produce be used for to this incoming call of end user's alarm any audible alarm.Yet, if programmable data indication 606 is set to enable the audible alarm answer-mode, but the incoming call message that calling voice is called out has the data indications (for example referring to Fig. 5) of replying at noiseless (automatically), and then processor still stops via the user interface generation and is used for any audible alarm to this incoming call of end user's alarm.For an example truth table logic of this function, referring to following table 1.

Referring now to Fig. 4,, show the flow chart of the conventional method that being used for of using handle the urgency communication of mobile communication equipment in cordless communication network, this mobile communication equipment can be according to operating about the described method of Fig. 3.Can use one or more network processing units, memory and transceiver (for example referring to Fig. 1) in cordless communication network, to combine and carry out this method with described related system assembly.Can in the computer program that comprises computer-readable medium (for example memory or computer disk), embody at least a portion of this method, storage can be by one or the computer instruction carried out of multiprocessor (for example, microprocessor) more in described computer-readable medium.
Begin block 400 places at Fig. 4 begin, and wireless network is suitable for aiding between the mobile communication equipment that runs in the wireless network and public safety answering point (PSAP) entity sets up urgent call (step 402 of Fig. 4).During urgent call, wireless network can be discerned calling termination messages or the failure condition (for example, the outer situation of coverage) (step 404 of Fig. 4) that causes urgent call to disconnect.In certain moment after disconnecting, wireless network receives the message (step 406 of Fig. 4) by the continuation urgent call that initiate and mobile device of PSAP entity.ANI that receives in initial urgent call before PSAP uses or calling part ID information come to initiate to continue urgent call to mobile device.In response to receiving this message, wireless network produces and mails to the incoming call message of mobile device to transmit via wireless network.When producing this incoming call message, wireless network is at one of this incoming call message or more in the multidata section data indications (step 408 of Fig. 4) are set.This data indication is used for this calling of automatic-answering back device under the situation that does not detect the manual answering signal via its user interface of order mobile device.This data indication (perhaps another indication) can also be used for the order mobile device and stop generation to be used for continuing the audible alarm that alarm is carried out in urgent call.Afterwards, wireless network makes broadcasts incoming call message at this continuation urgent call via wireless network, to be received (step 410 of Fig. 4) by mobile device.Mobile device is replied this continuation urgent call in automatic and/or noiseless mode.
About other correlation technique of the present disclosure, notice, can disconnect urgent call as described herein in response to (regardless of still being to make) the intentional or involuntary behavior at mobile device place by the third party by the end user.When this disconnects generation,, between PSAP entity and mobile device, communicate otherwise can not or be difficult in any continuation urgent call unless use special technique.For example, possible mobile device drops, is removed or can't be touched by the user.As another example, the configuration of mobile device can not allow this continuation communication easily.
In order to further specify a kind of problem in back, Fig. 8 a and 8b show the end view of a configuration of mobile device, and this shell 802 of this mobile device provides open position, and (Fig. 8 a) and make position (Fig. 8 b).In the embodiment of Fig. 8 a-8b, shell 802 has first (top) housing parts 804 and second (bottom) housing parts 806, and they link to each other so that the open and close position to be provided by articulated mounting 808.For example, articulated mounting 808 can alternatively be used to provide the carriage or the pivoting point device of open and close position.In the embodiment of Fig. 8 a and 8b, first housing parts, 804 carrying displays 112 and loud speaker 234, the second housing parts 806 carrying keyboard 114 and microphones 236.The open position of Fig. 8 a exposes for use display 112, keyboard 114, loud speaker 234 and microphone 236, and the make position of Fig. 8 b covers display 112, keyboard 114, loud speaker 234 and microphone 236 and/or presents inactive display 112, keyboard 114, loud speaker 234 and microphone 236.In Fig. 8 b, apparently,,, continue communication in any continuation urgent call after the disconnection of urgent call otherwise can not or be difficult in unless then use special technique if mobile device is in the close position.
In order to address this problem, one type the mobile device that can use in these technology is configured to optionally provide hand-held set call mode and the speaker-phone call mode at audio call.Except conventional handset speaker and microphone, also provide speaker-phone transducer (for example speaker-phone transducer 810 of Fig. 8 a and 8b).As example among Fig. 8 and the 8b, can provide this speaker-phone transducer 810 at the outside or the offside of the shell that handset speaker 234 and microphone 236 are provided.
In order to further specify, Fig. 7 shows the block diagram of the function that is associated with the call mode of the audio call of mobile device.The call mode of mobile device comprises hand-held set call mode 702 and speaker-phone or " hands-free " call mode 704.Commutation circuit 706 can be coupled to and be controlled by the processor of mobile device, to switch between hand-held set call mode 702 and speaker-phone call mode 704.
For hand-held set call mode 702, handset speaker and microphone (comprising the circuit that it is associated) that processor is enabled mobile device via commutation circuit carry out listening and speaking to be respectively applied for the end user during audio call.When being activated, handset speaker/microphone and the circuit that is associated provide limited privately owned geographic range at the transmission of audio signals of audio call.In order during audio call, to communicate efficiently for 702 times at the hand-held set call mode, the end user holds portable terminal (for example portable handset equipment) and places it in end user's head next door, makes the adjacent and hand-held set microphone of handset speaker and end user's ear near end user's mouth.Otherwise the undercapacity of audio signal is so that audio signal is sent to the opposing party of end user and calling.
For speaker-phone call mode 704, processor is enabled the alternative transducer (loud speaker/microphone) (comprising the circuit that it is associated) of mobile device via commutation circuit 706, carries out listening and speaking for the end user during audio call.Notice and speaker-phone call mode 704 can be called or alternatively be called " hands-free " call mode.When being activated, speaker-phone transducer and the circuit that is associated provide wideer broadcasting geo scope to transmit the audio signal of audio call.In order to communicate for 704 times at the speaker-phone call mode during audio call, the end user is placed on suitable distance (for example within 0.5-1.5 rice or between them) with mobile device, is handed or is placed on the suitable surface by the end user.In speaker-phone call mode 704, the audio signal of audio call has the opposing party that enough intensity fully is sent to end user and calling, and and the range-independence between mobile device and the end user.
Processor can be based on the call mode of controlling and/or select mobile device from the input 710 of the user input device of user interface.This user input device can be or comprise for example one or more buttons or key of mobile device.In response to end user's locking key or key, processor can be in the selection or the switching that are provided at during the audio call between hand-held set call mode 702 and the speaker-phone call mode 704.Thereby processor can detect from the manual speaker-phone activation signal end user, that be used to activate speaker-phone call mode 704 via user interface.Preferably, processor makes and provides on visual display unit or present graphic user interface (GUI), and this graphic user interface comprises that GUI button or menu list select between hand-held set call mode 702 and speaker-phone call mode 704 for the end user.
In addition or alternatively, processor can 712 come the call mode (referring to for example Fig. 5) of controlling mobile equipment based on input, described input 712 with from one of the incoming call message of PSAP entity or more the data in the multidata section indicate corresponding.If the data indication is the bit indication, then for example, bit " 0 " can be indicated and will be used hand-held set call mode 702, and bit " 1 " can be indicated and will be used speaker-phone call mode 704.Notice and can be used as the opposite bit definitions of alternative use or other bit configuration.For example, bit " 0 " can be indicated and will be used the equipment setting that is used for preference pattern 702 or 704, and bit " 1 " can be indicated and will be used the speaker-phone call mode 704 (that is, the equipment setting is capped) that is used for the remote speaker phone and enables.Except the indication of this data is provided at incoming call message or alternative as it, can during calling out, any appropriate message that is sent to mobile device from the PSAP entity, provide this data indication (promptly, in calling is carried out, be received in the data indication of setting up in the message that sends after the Traffic Channel).
If use input 710 (that is, the user imports selection) simultaneously and import the call mode that 712 (that is, the data indication in the radio message) all are used to select mobile device, then can provide logic 708.Can in mobile device, provide logic 708 with the hardware of processor controls or the form of software.Shown in the example of Fig. 7, logic 708 can be OR-gate or its function equivalent.Preferably, logic 708 can be suitable for operating according to the truth table that provides in the following table 4:
