Description

The distributed service management system of personal communication service and method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of distributed service management system and method for supporting to allocate fast personal communication service.Specifically, the present invention can make the user that moves about whenever be scheduled to, activate anywhere and use PCS Personal Communications System, and can not produce interoperability problems between different personal communication service suppliers and telephone operator.
Background technology
Important purpose of personal communication service is to allow the user at any time to communicate anywhere with Anywhere.This communication service comprises a plurality of ISPs usually, comprises local and long distance phone company and cellular company.An example of personal communication service is as follows:
Personal communication service supplier's (for example cellular company) can make the mobile subscriber rent portable radiotelephone from phone leasing company (for example from airline or automobile rental corporation).The representative of sales ﹠ marketing is from family, and for example the New Jersey travels to access, for example California.In order to keep in touch with his/her boss and his/her household, the user has rented a portable radiotelephone immediately after arriving California.Utilize this phone of renting, the user has obtained basic mobile phone service from the personal communication service supplier.In addition, the user also wants to have following characteristics:
1) user wants a phone of receiving his/her office or family automatically is transferred to the portable phone that this is rented, and he is on a journey and need not notify anyone.
2) for fear of receiving unessential incoming call, (and corresponding incoming call charge), the user wants to limit the number that can call out this portable phone of renting.
3) importantly these characteristics of leased telephone are effective immediately for the user, so that can use phone after the user arrives access.
This personal communication service comprises a plurality of ISPs.They have the local exchange carrier in the local exchange carrier of (a) residence, (b) long distance phone company, (c) access, and (d) the personal communication service supplier of access (being cellular company).All these all are called as " ISP " here.
In order to obtain this class personal communication service, comprise a plurality of ISPs, must solve the interoperability problems between the different service provider.Interoperability problems can be divided into two classes: (a) follow the tracks of and (b) Service Management the position.
The interoperability problems that follow the tracks of the position adopts the used signaling protocol of mobile phone industry to solve.Position tracking function utilizes two location registers to realize.A local exchange carrier by the user dwelling in two loggers keeps, and is called local logger (HLR).Another logger is kept by the local exchange carrier of access, is called access logger (VLR).HLR storage user profile data and user's VLR position.The user profile data comprise important information, such as user's name/address, preferable long distance phone company, service feature (for example calling transfer and call blocking), bill and other information relevant with management.When the user travels to a new access (for example from the New Jersey to California), create a new VLR in new place.The ISP of access the part summary data is loaded in the VLR, so that can realize the service feature (for example call blocking) of calling party.VLR position change in the HLR is deleted the last time VLR of access to new VLR position.Create a new VLR, the process of the user capture position in VLR loads summary data and renewal HLR is called " automatic roaming registration ".
The interoperability problems of Service Management is followed the tracks of the many of complexity than the position.Service Management refer to make the personal communication service user can be anywhere, whenever predetermined, the set of revising and activate the needed function of service feature.The example of SMF comprises telephone number management, the management of client's summary data, Service Activation and security management.The telephone number management function is important for the uniqueness that keeps telephone number.Client's summary data management function provides client's summary data storehouse and establishment, modification or transmits the user interface of this database.The Service Activation function is taken out the data that part is indicated service feature from summary data, and these data are loaded in the practical communication system of handling this calling.The Service Activation function is also controlled the activation and the inefficacy of service feature.The security management function prevents or detects and use these services and SMF without permission.
Need to realize that such SMF is to provide the personal communication service that comprises many ISPs.Realize these SMFs need different service provider to have usually and the various application software of operating and database between interact.Consideration can make the application of user from the predetermined personal communication service of any one ISP in any place of moving about.An example of this service is that calling is transferred on the portable telephone of temporarily renting.This application is passable, the database access operation below for example need carrying out on the database that various different service provider keep:
● check the credit database that credit card company or telephone operator have, whether can the payment services expense to determine the user;
● check the client's summary data storehouse in the user HLR, whether be positioned at the place different with the access of the current HLR of being stored in to determine that the user is current;
● check the credit and the network data base of the long distance phone company of user's appointment, to determine whether the user can use specific long distance phone company in access;
● summary data is loaded in the VLR of access, if desired, upgrades HLR with the position of VLR; And
● summary data is loaded into call processing system, to activate this service.
Find out from above, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of service management system and method, to realize realizing above-mentioned SMF by the database of visiting a plurality of ISPs, making the personal communication service that comprises a plurality of ISPs can be that the user provides service in quick and reliable mode.
