Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to claim 1 and a device according to claim 11.
  • a user With the resources of the already existing public communication networks, a user is offered the opportunity to set up a self-contained network. This can take the form of a private branch exchange by offering such services. This is particularly advantageous for participants who are far apart from each other.
  • VPN An important feature of this VPN is the private number plan. This means that every participant in this VPN has its own, internal VPN number, which is generally structured uniformly in the VPN (for example, no prefix must be known) and significantly shorter than the physical 'number of this device. In order for this to work, the complete information on the composition of the VPN must be stored at a central point so that the correct target subscriber can be determined when a call is made.
  • the object of the invention is to significantly simplify the transmission of communication terminals to other users.
  • This task is solved by a method in which a usage profile can be defined for each participant in a VPN.
  • the object is achieved by a device by means of which user profiles can be defined and stored and an assignment of user profiles and end devices is made possible.
  • a participant of a VPN e.g. company employee
  • his personal user profile is assigned to this device in a database provided for this purpose and he can use the device .
  • he returns the device to the pool he deactivates his user profile by deleting the assignment of his profile and the end device.
  • Call forwarding to the respective device can be regulated centrally by the VPN; there are no longer any dependencies on the presence of the service feature ⁇ call forwarding. 3 line '.
  • the accessibility of the participant can be increased significantly.
  • the caller dials the number already known to him, and the user profile database determines whether a subscriber has just activated a user profile on a separate device, carries it with him and puts the call through there.
  • the existing devices are usually not in constant use, they can be returned to a shared pool so that anyone who needs such a device at short notice can easily get it made available.
  • Limitations of the range of functions are not limited to one device, but can be tailored to the respective user.
  • the pool of shared devices contains different types of devices that are selected as required. It can therefore make sense to define several user profiles for a subscriber, which can then be selected and activated depending on the type of device.
  • the damage can be minimized if it can be blocked from further use, at least in the VPN, by deactivating the user profile.
  • the range of functions of the end device can be determined by the entries in a user profile.
  • the range of the end device can be defined by creating a ⁇ Allowed 'or Denied' list.
  • the user may only use the expressly activated numbers or number Select 4 areas (such as: area code, country code, only within the VPN), in the latter case not exactly those numbers or number ranges.
  • Another feature of the user profile can be the operating time of the terminal. Hours or days are activated or blocked and thus, for example, the use of the end device on the weekend is blocked for private purposes.
  • the user profile can be activated for a device in different ways.
  • An essential advantage of the procedure according to the invention is the correct billing resulting therefrom. This means that only the person who actually used the device pays. It may be the case that the subscriber to be billed is not the user of the device, for example if the device pool is located in a company and the fee is to be allocated to the various organizational areas. 5 It is also conceivable that individual subscribers or groups of subscribers have agreed a special charge with the service provider, for example a kind of 'quantity discount'.
  • FIG. 1 shows a telecommunication network with a subnet VPN, subscribers TN in this subnet, conventional communication terminals KE and special devices ME in a device pool and
  • Figure 2 shows an arrangement by means of which user profiles can be saved and assigned to specific terminals.
  • FIG. 1 shows an example of the structure of a telecommunications network with a subnet VPN, in which three subscribers TNA, TNB, TNC are included. These participants have fixed access to the telecommunications network via conventional telecommunications terminals KEA, KEB, KEC. In addition, there are three special devices MEX, MEY and MEZ in this VPN. These are temporarily assigned to the various participants as users. One participant can use different devices (e.g. with different usage profiles) or one device can be used by different participants.
  • FIG. 2 shows an implementation of the device for storing and assigning user profiles in an intelligent network IN.
  • This is an architecture to offer services in a communication network, in particular a virtual private network can also be implemented using IN.
  • the subscribers KE in this network are connected to the communication network via switching centers SSP or even extensions NSSP.
  • a central instance SCP is responsible for the correct detection and forwarding of connection requests within the network, in particular the implementation of the VPN's private numbering plan.
  • This information is in one 6 BSDB database stored, which can be queried by the SCP at any time and can be changed by a central administration SMS.
  • the profiles can be changed by the administration, the profiles can also be assigned to the terminal devices KE by the administration or by the participant via the SCP.
  • the switching center SSP asks the SCP. It is clarified whether the terminal used by the calling subscriber is assigned to a valid user profile. It is also checked whether the number dialed by the subscriber is not excluded by the user profile. Before the connection can be successfully established, it must be ensured whether the connection request can be forwarded to the actually physically selected device and whether the destination number is a number from the VPN's private numbering plan, or whether the destination subscriber is currently one of the Devices from the common device pool are used.

Abstract

Grâce à l'invention, le transfert de terminaux de communication à d'autres utilisateurs est rendu possible ou nettement simplifié. Cela est possible grâce à un profil d'utilisation qui peut être défini pour chaque abonné, dans un réseau de télécommunication. Les profils d'utilisation peuvent être affectés temporairement à divers terminaux.
