Specific embodiment

In the following description, for illustrative purposes, set forth many details, for example, flow chart and system configuration so as to Understanding to one or more embodiments of the invention is provided.However, for those skilled in the art it is apparent that these have Body details is not required to practice the invention.

According to an aspect of the present invention, with determine the associated phone user in position request and access the Internet content.Cause The offer of special net content is to be customized according to position, and provide in a series of network of local customs.Given local network Network includes server, and the server is configured to include the content for being suitable for its position.The delivering of content is to pass through local Base station, cellular phone from the particular home network configured after this manner to user are realized.

For example, the information in relation to Hollywood can pass through Hollywood when detecting phone user close to Hollywood area The one or more cellular network base stations in area access.These base stations deliver internet content related with this area, such as Website in relation to film and movie star.What the base station that the internet content is saved in covering this area can easily access In server so as into the service area phone user provide faster with more efficient transmission.

By being optimized for position of the wireless network user to internet content, the present invention realize optimal data stream with Various abundant informations and data from internet are accessed for phone user.

Fig. 1 is the block diagram for illustrating the system 100 according to the present invention for being configured to provide internet content delivering.System 100 fundamental is user equipment (UE) 110, Radio Access Network (RAN) 120, core cellular network (CCN) 130, outside Network (EN) 140 and local custom network (LCN) 150.

UE 110 is arranged to the cellular phone communicated with one or more base stations of RAN 120.Although UE 110 are preferably cellular phone, it should be appreciated that, various equipment can be equipped with identical communication function.UE 110 other Example includes personal digital assistant (PDA), set-top box, information station or any personal meter for being configured to have wireless communication ability Calculate device.

RAN 120 and CCN 130 preferably implements the customary components of cellular network and is further described below.RAN 120 include base station and radio network controller (RNC) element.Base station provides resource management, and provides for converting UE 110 The interface of data flow between RNC.RNC controls the radio resource for the base station that it is connected to, and also manages and arrive UE 110 connection.

CCN 130 is connected with EN 140.The most important example of EN 140 can be divided into two kinds: circuit switching (CS) 144 network of 142 networks and packet switch (PS).142 network of CS is provided to be connected for the circuit switching of circuit-switched service, example Such as telephone communication and ISDN.144 network of PS provides the connection for being used for packet data service.Internet is the very heavy of PS network It wants and famous application.

CCN 130 includes MSC/VLR, GMSC, HLR, SGSN and GGSN element.HLR (home location register) is storage Such as database of the information of customer service profile etc.Service profile includes information, the information include the service allowed, Random zone, forwarding number etc..HLR stores 110 position UE in order to call and other information routers are to UE 110.

MSC/VLR (mobile services switching centre and Visited Location Registor) provides friendship to the UE for being located at current location respectively Operation and database are changed for carrying out circuit switching (CS) business.VLR is by the service profile of user, and about the position UE More accurate information is stored in service system.CS connection by GMSC (gateway MSC), GMSC is located to external CS network Tie point switch.

SGSN (service GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) supporting node) is functionally similar to the function of MSC/VLR, still It is typically used to packet switch (PS) business.PS connection passes through GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node).

LCN 150 includes one or more computing devices, and the computing device is configured to include memory, working ability With interface to provide function described herein.LCN 150 includes being configured to provide the local service of customization internet content Device.LCN 150 is further configured to include access to content monitoring module, and the access to content monitoring module monitoring access to the Internet is simultaneously And determine the content of the designated position suitable for LCN 150.

Therefore LCN 150 executes monitoring relevant to the content being locally applicable in and cache.For function for monitoring, prison Depending on including local IP access, determine that the user for being located at the position accesses those contents.For caching function, LCN 150 Keep the cache for the internet content being locally applicable in comprising refresh to add new content and remove by deriving from The outmoded content that the information of function for monitoring determines.

For determine content whether be a kind of locally applicable technology be measurement access frequency.If being located at being permitted for the position Multi-user determines to access specific internet content, then the specific internet content be just determined to be it is locally applicable and It is comprised in cache in next reproducting periods.

In addition to carrying out monitoring and cache to locally applicable content, LCN 150 is configured to logically approach In the base station (one or more) for the cellular network for being located at specific position.In one example, close in logic is by making LCN 150 close physical proximity with related one or more base station (such as base station in same geographical area) Lai Shixian's.For example, LCN 150 can be located in the region of the determination postal region number (one or more) of metropolitan areas or covering metropolitan areas.It can replace Ground is changed, it is close in logic to be realized in the case where being not necessarily to and being physically adjacent to.For example, this can include LCN 150 by providing The private resource of high bandwidth connection between local user is realized.In this example, LCN 150 is configured to without physics Locally applicable content is more efficiently and quickly delivered in the case where neighbouring due to private resource.

According on the other hand, to further increase efficiency, the locally applicable content for giving LCN is organized in point In layer structure.The content of first layer is considered to have the content of the applicability of highest local.It is provided also according to first layer attached Add layer, a sequence of layer is gradually covered biggish geographic area (that is, the base station for being gradually covered greater number).According to a side Face, the layering are related to the communication with the adjacent LCN for covering increased region, to determine the local content for being suitable for additional level. Thus, for example, first layer is applicable in content (for example, as being only LCN or small-sized local with the local for being located at first level granularity LCN group monitoring/determination) it is corresponding, the second layer and the local for being located at second level granularity be applicable in content (for example, by pair The content often accessed within the scope of the large area that the access of several LCN in the large area of restriction is monitored to determine Logic " and " or intersection) corresponding, etc..

Therefore the operation of the system for updating LCN is described referring concurrently to the flow chart of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.The mistake The internet content that journey starts from user's access to current location carries out monitoring 202.This is by monitoring CCN 140 and PS The gateway of connection between 144 networks is realized to track the internet content that phone user is accessed.

It will be noted that the content of monitoring can be there are two beneficial use.One is adjust locally applicable content Delivering, this can be determined by the access frequency of given position.Another kind be allow content supplier (such as businessman or other Commercial entity) receive such instruction: those contents are locally applicable.This allows supplier's help or further of content It participates in determining that is locally applicable.For example, the businessman for being provided with the instruction of the local applicability of certain contents may wish Prestige enables the user of the range to obtain advertisement, coupon etc..

Together with the monitoring 202, make to request internet content base station (one or more) determination (one or It is multiple) 204.This can find internet content is requested to send by checking VLR and HLR by base station execute.It answers This notices that base station discovery is only that can determine a kind of mode of physical location.Other examples including but not limited to make It is determined with GPS, postcode, telephone number and IP address information.

Next step includes according to the monitoring 202 to base station (one or more) and determining (one or more) 204 come really Fixed 206 contents being locally applicable in.The determination of local applicability is by determining that access frequency is performed.Alternatively, local Applicability can be by will request the position of user (base station) to carry out with position associated with requested content is identified as Compare to determine.

Then, for current (such as first) layer, content is loaded 208 logically close to the user's of given position In server.This can be loaded with internet content by arrangement and/or current (such as first) layer of other information/data takes Device (one or more) is engaged in complete to realize so as to the data being stored in the server for phone user by base stations Optimal and faster data transmission.For example, the server can be placed logically close to base station, wherein phone user is logical The base station is crossed to access the data being stored in one or more servers.

The process is according to requiring to iterate through multiple layers.If it is determined that 210 extra plays are to be updated, then step 202- 208 are just performed and load next 212 (such as second) stratum servers (one or more) to use locally applicable content.Such as Described such, when layer increases, this preferably needs broader geographic area.The process continues until determination 210: being determined and load without more layers needs.The number of layer in given system will according to application and according to requiring and Variation.Layering often refers to maximize the locally available content arrived and generates and manage needed for the layer for increasingly wide region Process resource between tradeoff.

The content for being stored in one or more base stations can refresh 214 according to any desired timetable or triggering.For Refresh operation, process described above are repeated, are started again with first layer.It is outmoded interior to be perhaps otherwise determined as no longer It is that locally applicable content can be removed, and can increase new content certainly during the refresh cycle.

Additional server can be according to requiring longitudinally and/or laterally to be increased.Longitudinal direction refers to can be to earnest It manages position and increases server to cover first, second, third, etc. layer.Laterally refer to that increase is corresponding from different positions not Same server group (that is, a group is used for first layer, second group for second layer, etc.).

Regular timetable or a certain number of activities can be used in the refreshing of triggering layering.In 150 server of LCN Internet content according to should be from the request to internet content that base station is sent and the discovery content that updates be modified.Storage Internet content in the server refreshes in reasonable time, such as when the user of the not accessed content of server is flooded When.

Therefore server is loaded information for broadcasting and/or multicasting and/or any to be visited by phone user The data asked are to realize the optimal transmission of the user in service area.

Locally applicable content can be according to requiring to be sent and be delivered to user.For sending locally applicable internet The example of the communication path of content includes the relatively straightforward path by RAN 120, then passes through RAN by CCN 130 120 path or other.

Various technologies can be used for reality to the request of internet content together with UE 110 (or other equipment) user Now by the locally applicable content of 150 cache of LCN.In one example, UE 110 promotes the request of internet content Initial inspection is carried out to the content in locally applicable content, conventional access to the Internet is followed by, if the content proves If being content lacking in the locally applicable content of current cache.In addition, according to the side of layering described above Method can carry out attempting for the first time from first layer being followed by second layer, etc. to meet request.It is searched in response to specific request The number of plies of rope can change according to requiring.When specifying the searched number of plies to use up for current request, conventional internet is visited It asks and be used to retrieve content relevant to the request.

Various cache managements and network optimization technology can be used for managing locally applicable content.For example, complete association (FA), directly mapping (DM) and group (SA) mechanism that is connected can be used to determining particular content and can be stored on server Where technology example.In addition it is possible to using for ensuring block validity and for managing cache hit and miss Technology.Random, LRU (least recently used) and FIFO (first in first out) block alternative are that those can be used for pipe Manage the scheme of the block in cache.

According on the other hand, present invention facilitates for mobile payment (or the transmitting and such as alarm of other information Etc information reception) system scheme.Preferably, this respect of the invention realizes cellular network, wireless personal area Net (WPAN) and wireless recognition technique.Various technologies can be used for these component parts, including but not limited to be used for Cellular Networks The 3G technology of network；Zigbee, Bluetooth or UWB technology for WPAN；And RFID (the example for wireless recognition technique Such as NFC).

Fig. 3 illustrates the example for the system 300 for realizing this respect of the invention.System 300 includes user equipment (such as honeycomb Phone, PDA etc.) 310 and wireless HUB 320, server 330 is connected to by network 340 (such as internet).

Wireless HUB (WHUB) 320 can be located at public or private position.For public position, WHUB 320 is excellent Selection of land is placed in information station.Information station can be located on street or airport, shopping mall or any easily be perceived To and may include the position of user's traffic.For private position, WHUB 320 is preferably configured in such as house Or it is used in the position of hotel room etc.In these environment, WHUB 320 be may be provided in lesser equipment, such as A part of set-top box (STB).

Hand-held set 310 is equipped with the label for being provided with unique identifier, and the unique identifier can be wirelessly transferred to WHUB 320.Preferred label is near-field communication (NFC) label 312.NFC provides short-range wireless connectivity, uses magnetic The communication between equipment is realized in field induction.It has several centimetres of short distance, this is considered as the application to this respect of the present invention It is advantageous.Although NFC is preferably, RFID or other substitutions can also be provided.Hand-held set 310 further includes that WPAN is received Device 314 is sent out, the WPAN transceiver 314 allows the additional communication channel between hand-held set and WHUB 320.

Similarly, wireless WHUB 320 is equipped with NFC reader 322, WPAN transceiver 324 and network adapter 326. NFC technique provides the verifying and data exchange of safety automation between NFC label and NFC reader.It is according to the present invention this Aspect, NFC are uniquely associated with the other information for allowing appropriate movement (payment, alarm etc.) to occur.For example, being used in system In place of providing mobile payment, RFID label tag is associated with the bank account of user.In addition, once by unique identifier to equipment It is verified, the second secure communication channel with more multi-capacity is just established between hand-held set 310 and WHUB 320.This Action request and related communication is allowed reliably to be transmitted between both devices.

Therefore, once the verifying based on NFC is completed, the connection of safe wireless between hand-held set 310 and WHUB 320 just by It establishes.The communication can be realized WPAN transceiver, compared with NFC, WPAN transceiver data rate with higher and compared with Long working range.Secure communication allow to exchange it is relevant to acting to be sent between hand-held set 310 and WHUB 320 it is attached Add information, such as price and credit card information and corresponding payment scheme for buying request.Secure communication can pass through Hardware (such as proprietary hardware chip group) and software (such as data encryption algorithm) Lai Shixian.

WHUB 320 can also exchange data with other WPAN equipment 350.This for WHUB 320 and these equipment 340 into Row communication may be beneficial to exchange information relevant to acting.For example, WHUB 320 can be from equipped with WPAN equipment 340 The water meter of function collects water consumption information.The data can be locally stored by WHUB 320, or can pass through network connection 350 are sent to server 330 appropriate.WHUB 320 collects data and is not necessarily required to that the movement requested with user is sent out simultaneously It is raw.For example, the acquisition and transmission of water consumption information can periodically occur, and mutually separated with the user's request for carrying out respective pay.

It is to be further noted that 320 property of can choose of WHUB be configured with wireless communication ability, such as be provided in honeycomb electricity Ability in words.Therefore WHUB 320 can be configured to the internet content being locally applicable in the delivering for as above being combined Fig. 1 and 2 to describe System work together.

Fig. 4 further illustrates and provides the example of the payment process 400 of this respect according to the present invention.Process 400 starts In 402 processes of verifying, 402 processes of the verifying provide the resolution and identification to hand-held set by wireless WHUB via NFC label.

By the communication of individual secure communication channel (such as WPAN) and then it is established.WPAN function is used for hand-held It is communicated between machine and WHUB, so that content relevant to requested movement can be exchanged safely.In this example, institute The movement of request is purchase request 404.

It will be noted that movement must may or may not followed by verify 402.For example, cellular phone can be configured to wrap The ability containing browsing, the ability allow the interface of cellular phone to be used to check article before issuing purchase request.

Various purchase patterns can be realized using purchase request.Example may include individually being transported to a certain address Physical items, the content of (possibly) cellular phone can be downloaded to immediately, service etc..

Internet content can be requested by cellular phone teamwork to access.An example of content is provided to cellular phone Son can be the as above locally applicable internet content in conjunction with Fig. 1-2 description.Moreover, cellular phone can be passed through by removing Channel other than WHUB carrys out access the Internet content.

It is also noted that purchase request is only a kind of form for the movement that can be performed.Movement includes but is not limited to It keeps accounts and delivers, use fund filling account, online shopping transaction etc..

The process of verifying can be based on tag ID and password.Tag ID and password are by transmission 406 to authentication server, verifying Then server is returned for confirming that verifies notifies 408.Preferably, the verifying indicates whether the individual is that he or she is claimed That people, but address inquires to the access authority of the individual.Authentication server may reside within inside or outside WHUB.

As needed, it is also possible to need additional information associated with requested movement.For example, external server may It is required that account identification information or password for accessing online account.In these cases, external server is sent a request to WHUB is to request the information.WHUB can store such information and respond such request.Alternatively, WHUB can be into One step exchanges information (passing through hand-held set) with user, to obtain the requested additional information of external server.

Together with purchase request 404, payment request is issued by network connection between WHUB and external server 410.Payment request 410 allows user to complete to request 404 relevant transaction to purchase.In order to realize that payment request is satisfactorily completed, Server is communicated with payment gateway, be followed by later instruction payment request whether the resolution 412 of success or failure.
