Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a procedure and a device for control of data connections in a digital, cellular communication network between a user terminal and a longdistance network.
  • HSCSD High Speed Circuit Switched Data
  • GPRS General Packet Radio Service
  • a HSCSD-service in a TDMA-network such as a GSM-network
  • the terminals can manage data 5 transmissions via the technology that is utilised, such as HSCSD or GPRS, via an interface towards the digital, cellular communication network.
  • Different terminal manufacturers have arranged for terminal specific software for managing of data transmission in a digital, cellular communication network. Because the data transmission is made via a network operator's digital, cellular communication network, these communication networks must be able to manage data transmission between several different types of terminals, which results in adaptation problems when new terminal specific solutions are introduced. Moreover, a user can be obliged to use different interfaces for one and the same service for terminals from different manufacturers.
  • the aim of the present invention is to remove above mentioned problem that communication networks have to manage transmission of data between several different types of terminals, and that a user can be forced to use different interfaces for one and the same service for terminals from different manufacturers, and to reduce the problem that users experience the technologies for transmission of data as expensive and difficult to use.
  • aims are, according to the invention, achieved by a procedure for control of data connections in a digital, cellular, communication network in which need of data transmission between the user terminal and the longdistance network is detected.
  • a data connection between the user terminal and the long-distance network is established and its characteristics are changed depending on the detected need.
  • a data connection between the user terminal and the long-distance network is only set up when an access to the long-distance network is needed.
  • the user consequently does not need to be connected before the need exists, which results in lower utilisation of resources and consequently also lower cost.
  • the set up of the connection is made without the user needing to enter any commands at the terminal, which reduces the management for the user.
  • the data transmission need is detected as a need of transmission speed between the user terminal and the long-distance network.
  • the characteristics of the data connection is then changed by increasing the transmission speed of the data connection when the need of transmission speed between the user terminal and the long-distance network is greater than the current transmission speed of the data connection, and that the transmission speed of the data connection is reduced when the need of transmission speed between the user terminal and the long-distance network is smaller than the current transmission speed of the data connection.
  • the data connection is disconnected when a lack of a need of data transmission between the user terminal and the long-distance network is detected during one in advance determined period of time.
  • a procedure according to the invention is detected if a break occurs. If a break is detected, a data connection is set up between the user terminal and the long-distance network depending on the need of data transmission between the user terminal and the long-distance network.
  • the data connection in the first digital, cellular communication network is set up between the user terminal and the long-distance network via a second digital, cellular communication network
  • is collected dependending on a request controlled by the user, information about accessible digital, cellular communication networks, such as accessible digital, cellular communication networks and debiting conditions for utilisation of resources in the different communication networks.
  • accessible digital, cellular communication networks such as accessible digital, cellular communication networks and debiting conditions for utilisation of resources in the different communication networks.
  • one network out of the accessible, digital, cellular communication networks is utilised. For instance can that network be utilised that gives the lowest cost.
  • An advantage of this procedure is that it gives possibility for the user always to use the network that gives the lowest cost when the user is outside the area where the first network, in which he/she is subscriber, is accessible and the user consequently has to utilise a second network to access the first network, so called roaming.
  • an application that has an intermittent need of data transmission between the user terminal and the long- distance network is detected.
  • the data transmissions of this application between the user terminal and the longdistance network is then filtered.
  • the procedure according to the invention is collected, depending on input by a user, information related to the data connection, such as debiting terms/conditions, error management tables and costs for data connections since the latest billing.
  • a number of parameters for the data connection such as transmission speed of the data connection at each point of time and the time the data connection has the same transmission speed, are measured.
  • the characteristic data for the data connections are calculated, such as transmission speed, cost so far for the current data connection, and cost so far during one in advance determined period of time, and its characteristic data are shown to the user on a status screen to be used as basic data for decision- making by the user.
  • An advantage of this embodiment is that the user will have a better base for making decisions, such as to decide whether the data connection shall be disconnected when the cost exceeds a certain level.
  • the aims are achieved according to the invention also by means of a device for control of data connections in a first, digital, cellular communication network, which includes a device for detection of need of data transmission between the user terminal and the longdistance network, one to the device for detection of data transmission need connected device for change of the characteristics of the data connection based on the detected need of data transmission between the user terminal and the long-distance network, and one to the device for change of the characteristic of the data connection connected connection/disconnection device for connection/disconnection of a data connection between the user terminal and a long-distance network.
  • the connection/disconnection device (9) establishes a data connection between the user terminal and a long-distance network when a need of data transmission is detected, and disconnects the data connection when a lack of need of data transmission is detected during one in advance determined period of time.
  • the device also includes one to the device for change of characteristics of the data connection and to the connection/disconnection device (9) connected device for management of the interface towards the digital, cellular communication network.
  • connection/ disconnection of the connection is made without the need of the user entering any commands at the terminal, which simplifies the management for the user.
  • device for management of the interface to the digital, cellular network is arranged before the connection/disconnection device (9) and therefore is transparent for the user with regard to said connection/disconnection device. This simplifies the management for the user, for instance if different connection/disconnection devices are used.
  • One embodiment of the device according to the invention also includes a need detection device for detection of the need of transmission speed between the user terminal and the long-distance network, and a control device for increase, respective reduction, of the transmission speed of the data connection when the need of transmission speed between the user terminal and the long-distance network is greater, respective smaller, than the current transmission speed of the data connection.

  • the connection/disconnection device (9) establishes, depending on the detected need of data transmission, a data connection between the user terminal and the long-distance network when a break is detected.
