Detailed Description

Features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below, and in order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed embodiments. It should be understood that the particular embodiments described herein are meant to be illustrative of the application only and not limiting. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present application may be practiced without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the application by showing examples of the application.

It is noted that relational terms such as first and second, and the like are used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising … …" does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a process, method, article or apparatus that comprises the element.

Currently, after a user handles a number portability service, the user initiates a calling call, and operator information of the calling user before the number portability is still displayed on electronic equipment of a called number.

For example, after a user carries a number and switches to an operator B from an operator a, the user initiates a calling call, and when the number is allocated, the home operator is determined for the number section of the calling number, so after the user carries the number and switches to the network, the number is not changed, and the information of the operator a is still displayed on the called electronic device, which results in the error display of the information of the operator.

In order to solve the problem of operator information display errors, the following solutions may be adopted:

1. the home network operator signalling network forwards the query message to a number portability home location register (Number Portability Home Location Register, NPHLR) or home location register (Home Location Register, HLR) belonging to the home network operator network according to the number segment of the communication number by sending the query message to the home network operator signalling network comprising the communication number to be identified. Then, the operator to which the communication number belongs is identified according to the equipment number carried in the response message returned by the NPHLR or HLR.

2. And when the communication number is carried by the first operator network to be transferred to the second operator network, the NPHLR of the second operator network sends a broadcast message in the affiliated blockchain network. And responding to the call forwarding number fed back by the home subscriber server of the first operator network, verifying the call forwarding number, and storing the mapping relation between the communication number and the call forwarding number under the condition that the verification is passed. Therefore, the method and the system realize that the unique trust mechanism of the blockchain is utilized to record the related information of the call forwarding number after the number carrying and network forwarding of the user into the blockchain account book and synchronize the information among different operator networks. Thus, the information recorded in the blockchain ledger can be used for inquiring the information of the operators with the communication numbers after the numbers are carried and the networks are switched.

3. When a call from a communication number is received, according to the communication number, inquiring the corresponding relation between the locally stored number and the operator information to acquire the operator information matched with the communication number, and displaying the operator information.

However, in the above scheme 1, the query message is forwarded to the NPHLR or HLR belonging to the home network operator network according to the number segment value of the communication number, and the operator network to which the communication number belongs is identified according to the device number carried in the response message returned from the NPHLR, so that signaling interaction in the call can be increased.

In the above scheme 2, the related information after the user carries the number and turns to the network is recorded into the blockchain ledger through the blockchain technology synchronization, so that an independent blockchain module needs to be built among a plurality of operators, and the scheme is complex to implement.

In the above scheme 3, the operator information matched with the communication number needs to be queried in the corresponding relationship, which also increases signaling interaction in the call.

In order to solve the technical problem that the wrong information of the calling user operator is displayed on the electronic equipment of the called user due to the fact that the calling user carries a number to turn the network, the application provides a communication method different from the three schemes. Before explaining the embodiments provided by the present application, the following terms will be explained:

international mobile subscriber identity (International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number, IMSI): is a mark for distinguishing mobile subscribers, and is stored in a subscriber identity module (Subscriber Identity Module, SIM) card and can be used for distinguishing effective information of the mobile subscribers. The total length thereof is not more than 15 bits, and numbers from 0 to 9 are used as well.

The temporary mobile subscriber identity (Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity, TMSI) is a temporary subscriber identification number allocated to the subscriber in the visitor location register (Visitor Location Register, VLR) for the purpose of securing the IMSI in mobile communications, and is used to temporarily replace the IMSI number for delivery over the air. The IMSI is unique in the current VLR. When the user roams to other VLRs, the current VLR inquires the TMSI of the user to the previous VLR, and after the inquiry is successful, the current VLR completes authentication of the user and reassigns a new TMSI to the user, and the previous VLR deletes the expired TMSI and user information of the user.

A globally unique temporary User Equipment identifier (Globally Unique Temporary User Equipment Identity, GUTI) that uniquely identifies a User Equipment (UE) in the network may reduce exposure of User private parameters such as IMSI to network transmissions.

With respect to the communication method provided by the present application, a communication system for realizing the communication method will be described.

Fig. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of a communication system provided by the present application. As shown in fig. 1, in the case that the first communication number corresponding to the first electronic device 102 carries a number to transfer to the network of the target operator, the first electronic device 102 sends a service request to the network device 104 of the target operator. Then, the network device 104 responds to the service request to allocate user identification information for the first communication number, where the user identification information carries information of the target operator, and sends the information to the first electronic device 102.

After that, if the first electronic device 102 makes a call by using the communication number after the number portability, the first electronic device 102 sends the user identification information to the second electronic device corresponding to the called second communication number. Because the user identification information carries information of the target operator, the second electronic equipment can acquire the information of the target operator to which the first communication number belongs after the number carrying and network transfer.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, when the network device allocates the user identification information for the first communication number, the information of the target operator is added to the user identification information. After that, the network device transmits the information of the target operator to the first electronic device by transmitting the user identification information. Then, each time the first electronic device makes a call, the information of the target operator may be transmitted to the second electronic device of the called second communication number along with the call request. No signaling interactions need to be added in the call. In addition, independent block chain modules are not required to be additionally built among a plurality of operators, and the scheme of the embodiment of the application is simpler to realize.

Based on the above communication system, the communication method provided by the present application is described below.

Fig. 2 is a timing diagram of one embodiment of a communication method provided by the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the communication method 200 includes S202, S204, and S206.

S202, under the condition that the first communication number carries a number and forwards to the network of the target operator, the first electronic equipment sends a service request of the first communication number to the network equipment of the target operator.

As an example, in S202, in the case that the first communication number carries a number to transfer to the network of the target operator, if the first electronic device has a service activation requirement, a service activation request is sent to the network device of the target operator; if the first electronic equipment needs to establish a call, sending a call establishment request to network equipment of a target operator; and if the first electronic equipment generates the position change, sending a position change request to the network equipment of the target operator.

S204, the network equipment responds to the service request and distributes the user identification information carrying the information of the target operator for the first communication number.

As an example, in S204, the user identification information may be allocated to the first communication number in a manner in the related art, and then, information of the target operator is added to the user identification information, so that the user identification information carries information of the target operator.

And S206, the network equipment sends the user identification information to the first electronic equipment, so that the first electronic equipment receives the user identification information sent by the network equipment, the user identification information is used for being sent to the second electronic equipment corresponding to the called second communication code, and the information of the target operator is displayed on the second electronic equipment.

Any one of the first communication number and the second communication number may be a mobile number (such as a mobile phone number) or a non-mobile number (such as a landline number).

In one or more embodiments of the present application, in a case where a first communication number is forwarded to a target operator, a first electronic device sends a service request of the first communication number to a network device of the target operator, so that the network device allocates user identification information carrying information of the target operator to the first communication number, and sends the user identification information to the first electronic device. In this way, when the first electronic device calls the second communication number through the first communication number, the user identification information carrying the information of the target operator can be sent to the second electronic device corresponding to the second communication number, so that the information of the target operator can be displayed on the second electronic device. Therefore, even if the calling user carries the number to change the network, the correct operator information of the calling user can be displayed on the electronic equipment of the called user, so that the user experience is improved.

In the case that the first communication number of the user is ported to the network of the target operator, although the first communication number of the user is not changed, the user needs to go to a physical store of the target operator to replace the SIM card, and the target operator allocates the SIM card after the first communication number is ported to the network. The SIM card contains information on the side of the wireless interface related to the user, and also contains information related to authentication and encryption, for example: IMSI, key data (commonly known as KI), security algorithms (e.g. A3, A8).

Based on this, in one or more embodiments of the present application, the sending, to the network device of the target operator, the service request of the first communication number may include:

and under the condition that the first electronic equipment is provided with the SIM card allocated to the first communication number by the target operator, sending the service request to the network equipment through the client identification module, wherein the service request comprises the IMSI stored in the client identification module, so that the network equipment allocates the user identification information to the first communication number according to the IMSI.

It should be noted that the SIM card may be a conventional physical SIM card, that is, the SIM card may be detached from the electronic device or may be reinstalled on the electronic device after being detached.

Alternatively, the SIM card may be an Embedded-SIM (eSIM) card, which is simply Embedded on the chip of the electronic device, rather than being added to the electronic device as a separate removable component, without the user having to insert a physical SIM card. This may allow the user more flexibility in selecting operator packages or changing operators at any time without unlocking the device, purchasing a new device.

Thus, the first electronic equipment is enabled to acquire the user identification information carrying the information of the target operator.

In one or more embodiments of the present application, the sending, to the network device of the target operator, the service request of the first communication number may include:

and sending the service request to a visitor location register of the target operator or core network equipment, wherein the core network equipment corresponds to the network type of the first communication number.

As one example, the network type of the first communication number includes: global system for mobile communications (Global System for Mobile Communication, GSM) networks or fourth generation communications technology (the 4Generation mobile communication technology,4G) networks.

The sending the service request to the visitor location register or the core network device of the target operator may specifically include:

in case the first communication number belongs to a communication number of a GSM network, sending the service request to a visitor location register (Visitor Location Register, VLR) of the target operator or a mobile switching center (Mobile Switching Center, MSC) of the target operator, where it is noted that the MSC is the core of the entire GSM network, providing a switching function and a connection to other functions in the system;

the service request is sent to a mobility management entity (Mobility Management Entity, MME) in case the first communication number belongs to a communication number of a 4G network.

In one or more embodiments of the present application, in the case that the first communication number belongs to a communication number of a GSM network, the user identification information includes a TMSI; in case the first communication number belongs to a communication number of a 4G network, the user identification information comprises a temporary user equipment identity, e.g. a globally unique temporary UE identity (Globally Unique Temporary UE Identity, GUTI).
