Background technology
The 3rd third-generation mobile communication partner collaborative project (3GPP:3rd Generation Partnership Project) has been developed a standard for the constructing method of so-called the Internet communication protocol multimedia core network subsystem (IMS:Internet-Protokoll-Multimedia-Core network-Subsystem).
IMS (just 3GPP develop according to the demand of telecommunication network IMS standard) can be that the basis provides various communication service with the Internet communication protocol (IP).
These communication services comprise Internet telephony (VoIP:Voice-over-Internet-Protocol), video phone and video conference, for example videoconference.
According to IMS, the transfer of data of communication service is based on the Internet communication protocol (Internet-Protocol).Therefore communication service can be carried out with the communication system that is grouped into the basis via all, for example WLAN (W-LAN:Wireless-Local-Area-Network), integration packet radio technology (GPRS:General Packet Radio Service), global mobile communication system (UMTS:UniversalMobile Telecommunications System).
Particularly IMS can also provide the path that enters based on many users' application mode for many kinds of communication services.
In order to utilize the IMS service, that is to say the communication service that utilization is provided by IMS, for example utilize the IMS conference service of list of references [1] definition, services client must be provided by the particular configuration data that provides for this communication service.
Most typical (service) client of communication service is a kind of communication terminal device, and the user can utilize communication service via this communication terminal device.
For example mobile radio user equipment is exactly a kind of common communication terminal device, and this mobile radio user equipment can link via the mobile radio communication network and the IMS of a global mobile communication system of foundation (UMTS:UniversalMobile Telecommunications System) establishment of standard.
Utilizing an example of the configuration data (data of client in order to utilize communication service to know just) of communication service needs is " addresses ", and the SIPURI (SIP-Uniform Ressource Indicator:SIP uniform resource locator) or the Internet Protocol address of the server of communication service for example is provided.
In some cases, the required configuration data of communication service can change along with the time, therefore can't in advance required configuration data be determined to inform the client usually, for example these required configuration datas may be the configuration datas about at that time public area mobile network (PLMN:Public Land Mobile Network), that is to say the configuration data that links employed mobile radio telephone network about client and IMS.
So-called " (service) configuration of communication terminal device " is meant that the configuration data that communication service is required is transferred to communication terminal device.
Up to the present, the 3rd third-generation mobile communication partner collaborative project (3GPP) is not made definitions with the method for utilizing communication service to the configuration communication terminal equipment, especially the configuration and the method for the communication terminal device of IMS binding is not made definitions.
It serves as the register method of basis with the workability of announcement communication service with session initial protocol (SIP:Session Initiation Protocol) that list of references [2] proposes a kind of.When using this register method, the user can be transferred to IMS with an appointed information (subscription information) via a communication terminal device.
Before this appointed information was transferred to IMS, user and/or communication terminal device must be handled registration earlier in IMS, that is to say and must finish registration formalities at IMS earlier.The user informs IMS via this appointed information, and he wants to know whether that a kind of communication service can be used at present.Have an on the scene/real-time information server according to the IMS standard configuration (Presence/InstantMessaging Server) be switched on this moment, with as information server.
He has operational (communication) service at present if there is ISP (supplier of communication service just) to inform on the scene/real-time information server (Presence/Instant Messaging Server), the user of this communication service of then designated use will be under the framework of " service on the scene (Presence-Service) " (just under the framework that can use service) to be apprised of present this communication service available.
Above-mentioned action is finished via one " announcement information ".Same, appointed user also can be apprised of him via this announcement information can be via in that address (just via that SIP URI (SIP-Uniform Ressource Indicator:SIP uniform resource locator)) and ISP (the just corresponding server) contact.
List of references [3] proposes a kind of configuration service (just a kind of method of carrying out service configuration), and the method that proposes with list of references [2] is the same, and this configuration service also is based on same notification principles.But this configuration service can also provide other information except can informing appointed user address.
The method that list of references [4] proposes is to give user with one with the ISP's of real time information (PIM:Presence and InstantMessaging) registration identity validation message transmission by on the scene and real time information (PIM:Presence andInstant Messaging) server.
It is the method that user's interface (for example operating surface) is formulated the exclusive configuration of user that list of references [5] proposes a kind of.This method is to read the exclusive configuration of user from a database, and with transfer of data to a communication terminal device of reading.
List of references [6] and list of references [7] propose a kind of method that communication terminal device is registered to IMS according to the IMS standard.
List of references [8] proposes to carry out according to Session Initiation Protocol the method for transfer of data, and these methods are to transfer out via the archives that SIP information will contain the data that will transmit.
List of references [9] proposes a kind of Session Initiation Protocol that utilizes the conference communication service method is provided.
The content of list of references [10] and list of references [7] is the 3rd third-generation mobile communication partner collaborative project (3GPP) standard of explanation IMS.
List of references [11] proposes a kind of system, communication terminal device can transfer to a server with a register information via this system, and then finds out those communication services by this server foundation from user's identity validation information of the communication terminal device of central database and can use for the user by user's identity validation information definition.That is to say that this server can inform communication terminal device for all communication services that the user uses via a configuration information.

In step 214, P-CSCF202 can use in the register information 213 at so-called " From-Header "
User's identity validation (PUID:Personal UserIdentification) that (asking comparison sheet 1 the 5th row) informs is via proposing inquiry to DNS204 and finding user's a H-PLMN210 and the CSCF205 of H-PLMN210.
In step 215, P-CSCF203 can be transferred to register information 213 I-CSCF205 of H-PLMN210.
In order to learn enrollment status, in step 216, I-CSCF205 can send user's enrollment status inquiry (User-Registration-Status-Query) information to HSS207.
In step 217, I-CSCF205 can select a S-CSCF206 for communication terminal device 201, and register information 213 is transferred to S-CSCF206.
For the purpose of understanding and explanation registration procedure, suppose not integrity protection of register information 213 in this example.
Because in IMS; integrity protection is the processed and/or received prerequisite of register information; therefore in step 218, S-CSCF206 can will come out for the required data call of so-called requirement (Challenge) of responding communication terminal equipment 201 from HSS207.
Communication terminal device 201 requirements can make communication terminal device 201 that a register information is transferred out, and this register information not only has integrity protection, simultaneously also can be by validation in IMS.This process is to carry out with so-called " Shared Secret " method.
In step 219, S-CSCF206 can determine a validation vector that is used by the requirement of subscriber terminal equipment.
S-CSCF206 can require communication terminal device 201 in step 220 " (Unauthorized) without permission " information 221 to be transferred to I-CSCF205 from CSCF206, and in step 222, this " 401 (Unauthorized) " without permission information 221 is transferred to P-CSCF203 from CSCF206, and in step 223 this " (Unauthorized) without permission " information 221 is transferred to communication terminal device 201 from P-CSCF203.
In list of references [6] and list of references [7] relevant for the detailed description of the validation that reaches via above-mentioned requirements.
After communication terminal device 201 is received this " 401 (Unauthorized) " without permission information 221; communication terminal device 201 will produce a protected register information 225 in step 224; this register information 225 has can allow the integrity protection and the information heading (Header) of user's validation, and other content of containing of this register information 225 is then identical with register information 213 at least.
In step 226, communication terminal device 201 can transfer out protected register information 225.
Step 227,228,229,230 almost with step 214,215,216,217 is identical, unique difference is a step 227,228,229,230 what transfer out is not register information 213, but protected register information 225.
After S-CSCF received the register information 225 of protection, communication terminal device 201 will be by validation in step 231.
Then communication terminal device 201 will be finished registration at HSS207 by the user's identity validation via the user in step 232.
In step 233, S-CSCF206 can be transferred to I-CSCF205 with first confirmation 234, has finished registration to confirm communication terminal device 201 in IMS209.
In the execution mode of Fig. 2, the structure of first confirmation 234 is as shown in table 2, and wherein the content of information heading (Header) is as described in the example of front.

Table 3
Shown in the 9th row of the 9th row of table 2 and table 3, compared to the affirmation information (document that sees reference [6]) that the IMS standard of foundation 3GPP is set up, first confirmation 234 and second confirmation 237 have also increased the content about configuration data.
As previously mentioned, the communication service in this example is a kind of conference service.
Second confirmation 237 can be sent the signal that just becomes registration to communication terminal device 201.
Carried as the front, second confirmation 237 contains the required configuration data of communication service that utilizes register information 213 and 225 definition of protected register information.
As table 2 the 9th the row and table 3 the 9th the row shown in, in the execution mode of Fig. 2, the transmission work that is positioned at the configuration data of information prefix is to carry out via the information heading (Header) that is called " Config-Server " that the affirmation information of setting up in foundation IMS standard adds in addition.
In another execution mode of the present invention, the transmission work of configuration data is to carry out via an existing information heading (Header), and just the information heading (Header) of the registration confirmation of " 200-OK information " by name of the registration procedure of setting up via the IMS standard of foundation 3GPP (document that sees reference [6]) carries out.
In another execution mode of the present invention, the transmission work of configuration data is that the information agent via the information agent of first confirmation 234 and second confirmation 237 carries out.
In another execution mode of the present invention, configuration data is to be transmitted in the mode that list of references [8] is described.
First confirmation 234 and/or second confirmation 237 contain the address that an explanation can be found the archives of configuration data (for example XML archives) wherein for this reason.
Communication terminal device 201 can be downloaded these archives, for example via of super literal host-host protocol (HTTP:Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) " HTTP Get " instruction downloads these archives.
As previously mentioned, though be belong to V-PLMN238 a part P-CSCF203 or the S-CSCF205 that belongs to the part of H-PLMN210 can be transferred to required configuration data communication terminal device 201, with the service configuration of executive communication terminal equipment 201.
P-CSCF203 can be transferred to required configuration data communication terminal device 201, its process is that P-CSCF203 is added to required configuration data in first confirmation 234 in step 236, and will be used as second confirmation 237 through first confirmation 234 that this mode changed and transfer out.
In step 233, P-CSCF203 can be transferred to communication terminal device 201 via first confirmation 234 with required configuration data.
Because P-CSCF203 and S-CSCF203 can be transferred to required configuration data communication terminal device 201, therefore communication terminal device 201 can be configured to be used for regional service, the communication service that provides via V-PLMN238 just, also can be configured to be used for the service of H-PLMN210, just the communication service that provides via H-PLMN210.
If " set up new registration procedure (re-Register) " and situation communication terminal device 201 can ask a configuration data again.
In a kind of favourable execution mode of the present invention,, then only will after giving communication terminal device, last transmission configuration data have the configuration parameter that changes to be transferred to communication terminal device if communication terminal device is ask a configuration data again.
For the purpose of understanding, below will this kind situation be described with an example.
Below the IMS conference service that will describe with list of references [1] is that example illustrates this kind situation.
In this example, needed configuration data only is made of the SIP-URI of Conference server (Conference-Server), these Conference server (Conference-Server) provide conference communication service (document that sees reference [9]), and the SIP-URIs with meeting server (Conference-Server) is called conference factory URI (Conference-Factory-URI, document that sees reference [1] and list of references [9]) in the following description.
The SIP-URI that allows the user can connect a meeting and add this meeting is called meeting URI, and the SIP user agent (SIP-User-Agent) who belongs to SIP-URI then is called as conference focus (Conference-Focus).SIP user agent (SIP-User-Agent) herein is a level of meeting control program.
Because Conference server (Conference-Server) needs to be responsible for the generation of meeting and conference focus (Conference-Focus), so Conference server (Conference-Server) must be known conference factory URI (Conference-Factory-URI).
According to list of references [1], because conference factory URI s (Conference-Factory-URI) is a unique parameter that activates the IMS conference service, therefore amount of configuration data in this example is very little.
Therefore method of the present invention is applied to this example and has very big advantage, reason is that method of the present invention needn't transmit only is to be used for sending announcement information that the signal of a few parameters value uses and the answer information of answering this announcement information.
The present invention also can be applicable to other situation, for example is applied to contain the service configuration of the IMS conference service of other parameter.
For example can transmit the catalogue of an operational meeting and address thereof.
If the user wants to produce a meeting via a communication terminal device, he can use conference factory URI s (Conference-Factory-URI) and send " inviting (INVITE) " information to Conference server.After receiving this " invitation (INVITE) " information, Conference server will produce a meeting and belong to the conference focus (Conference-Focus) of this meeting, and be that this meeting produces a meeting URI, just can be via this meeting URI with this meeting addressing (document that sees reference [1] and list of references [9]), other user also can utilize other communication terminal device to participate in this meeting via this meeting URI simultaneously.
The registration procedure of the registration procedure of this example and the execution mode of Fig. 2 is the same.
In this example, requiring the explanation of communication service of configuration data and the transmission of configuration data about communication terminal device 201 all is by carrying out as table 1 to the information prefix of the SIP information shown in the table 3.
Explanation about communication service is to carry out (seeing Table 1 the 13rd row) with initiate (SIP) information heading (Header) that is called " Config-Client ".
As previously mentioned, also can be undertaken about the explanation of communication service by the new parameter that is added in the information heading of setting up according to the IMS standard (Header).
Preferably use " From-Header " (seeing Table 1 the 13rd row), contact information stem (Contact-Header sees Table 1 the 13rd row) or Call-ID-Header (seeing Table 1 the 13rd row) carries out above-mentioned work.
As the execution mode of Fig. 2, the register information 213 after the information that will set up according to the IMS standard enlarges the specification that adds the definition communication service can be transferred to the S-CSCF206 of the H-PLMN210 that is arranged in the user via P-CSCF203.
The task of second confirmation 237 is to inform that the communication terminal device registration work finishes.
Second confirmation 237 contains from the configuration data of P-CSCF203 and S-CSCF206 adding.
Via this mode, P-CSCF203 and S-CSCF206 can be transferred to communication terminal device with configuration data.
But P-CSCF203 and S-CSCF206 necessarily need be transferred to communication terminal device with configuration data.
In this example, first confirmation 234 of sending from S-CSCF206 has structure as shown in table 2.The conference factory URI (Conference-Factory-URI) that in the information heading (Header sees Table 2 the 9th row) of by name " Config-Server " of first confirmation 234, contains the Conference server (Conference-Server) of the H-PLMN210 that adds from S-CSCF206.
Communication terminal device can utilize conference factory URI (Conference-Factory-URI) to produce meeting.
P-CSCF203 can improve first confirmation 203, and it is by name to that is to say that P-CSCF203 can add the address (address that is to say Conference server is the part of V-PLMN238) of the Conference server (Conference-Server) known to it " Config-Server " information heading (Header).
Then P-CSCF203 can just through first confirmation 234 of improvement, be transferred to communication terminal device 201 with second confirmation 237.
As previously shown, the structure of second confirmation 237 is as shown in table 3, and the part that only will differ from table 2 in table 3 shows.
After receiving second confirmation 237, the service configuration of communication terminal device 201 is promptly accused and is finished.
Communication terminal device reaches (IMS) all can import new service configuration.In order to import new service configuration, communication terminal device can be transferred to network (setting up new registration procedure) with a register information again.Another feasible mode is, the work that network can be set up new registration procedure via a corresponding information requirements communication terminal device.
