Definitions

  • the invention relates to a data communication system with a network level, a terminal level and an interface, tool kits being provided in the terminal level, by means of which properties of the terminal level can be determined, and wherein information about properties of the terminal level can be transmitted to the network level.
  • the invention further relates to a method for transmitting information about properties of a terminal to a network via an interface, toolkits being provided in the terminal.
  • terminals terminal stations
  • Such terminals are, for example, telephones, computers or other data processing devices. Since different terminals with different properties access the same services, it is generally provided that when an application starts, the properties of the terminal used when the application starts are transmitted via an interface level. The services provided by the network are then matched to the terminal properties.
  • the setting or the properties of a terminal change during the use of a service. This can be done, for example, by connecting additional components to a terminal while using a service.
  • a laptop can be connected to a palmtop computer that initially built the application while the application is being used. This changes the settings or the term capabilities. For example, the display now has a higher resolution and longer sections of text can be displayed at the same time.
  • the invention is based on the task of taking into account the changing conditions during the use of a network service in the communication between the network level and the terminal level.
  • the invention is based on the generic data communication system in that an interface structure assigned to the toolkits is provided, via which information about properties of the terminal level can be frequently transmitted to the network level. In this way it is possible that the information about the properties of the terminal level is not only transmitted to the network level when the use of a service is built up. Rather, this information can practically be transferred continuously, so that the terminal structure can always be optimally used.
  • information about properties of the terminal level is transmitted to the network level at the request of the network level via the interface structure.
  • an "enabling function” is made available to the network level.
  • the interface structure in the terminal delivers the requested information.
  • Functionality can be implemented in such a way that the 3GGP standardized interface OSA API ("Open Service Archi- tecture Application Programming Interface ”) as a counterpart to the API in the terminal.
  • OSA API Open Service Archi- tecture Application Programming Interface
  • the interface structure can transmit information about properties of the terminal level to the network level at regular intervals, for example without the influence of the network level.
  • the interface structure is thus an active element in the terminal, which supports the user in communicating with the network structure.
  • the data communication system is developed in a particularly advantageous manner in that the interface structure is a personalized agent implemented by a software code.
  • a personalized agent or “personalized intelligent agent” (“Personal Intelligent Agent”) can take on tasks that relieve the user. For example, the agent automatically generates soft updates and can independently load applications from the network to the terminal level. Management functions are also taken over by the personalized agent.
  • the personalized agent is self-installing.
  • the user can therefore automatically use the services of the personalized agent as soon as data communication takes place between the terminal level and the network levels.
  • the personalized agent is arranged on the network level. As soon as a network service is used, the personalized agent is loaded into the memory area of the terminal. This can be done, for example, in the form of a JAVA applet. To When the service ends, the personalized agent can be transferred back to the network level.
  • the personalized agent can also be useful for the personalized agent to be arranged on the terminal level.
  • the personalized agent in particular in the case of terminals with sufficient storage capacity, it is possible for the personalized agent to be permanently stored in the storage area of the terminal. An initial loading of the personalized agent at the beginning of each session is therefore unnecessary.
  • the personalized agent can be transferred between the network level and the terminal level. This is also useful if the personalized agent itself is arranged on the terminal level, that is to say if in principle no loading of the personalized agent is required at the start of a session.
  • the possibility of transferring the personalized agent between the levels increases the flexibility of the system, for example if there is a current storage shortage despite the large storage capacity.
  • this is further developed in that the personalized agent is assigned to a user and in that the user configures the personalized agent.
  • the basic task of more personalizing a terminal is usefully satisfied.
  • the current wishes of a user who decides on certain services are known before the start of using a service.
  • the service can be optimized for a specific user. Due to the fact that the agent is created or configured by the user himself, the user has complete control over the agent. He can therefore also decide which user profile data is not in the network should be visible. In this way, a high level of data security is achieved.
  • the invention builds on the generic method in that an interface structure assigned to the toolkits is provided, via which the information about properties of the terminal is frequently transmitted to the network.
  • the advantages of the data communication system according to the invention are implemented by this method.
  • the method is developed in a particularly useful manner in that information about properties of the terminal level is transmitted to the network level at the request of the network level via the interface structure. It is therefore provided with an "enabling function".
  • the data communication system can also be useful to design the data communication system in such a way that the transmission of information about properties of the terminal level to the network level is actively initiated by the interface structure.
  • the transmission can take place, for example, at regular intervals or depending on actual changes with regard to the properties of the terminal level.
  • the method according to the invention has particular advantages in that the interface structure is a personalized agent implemented by a software code. There is a user-specific relief for the user, for example, through the takeover of management functions by the personalized agent.
  • the personalized agent is self-installing.
  • the personalized agent can therefore be used automatically when using services. It can be advantageous if the personalized agent is arranged on the network level. This is particularly useful in the context when terminals with low storage capacity are used.
  • the personalized agent is arranged on the terminal level. In the case of terminals with sufficient storage capacity, it may not be necessary to load the personalized agent at the beginning of each use of a service.
  • the personalized agent is transferred between the network level and the terminal level. As a result, there is great flexibility in the communication between the terminal level and the network level.
  • this is further developed such that the personalized agent is assigned to a user and that the user configures the personalized agent.
  • This has particular advantages with regard to data security. Since the user creates or configures the personalized agent himself, he can also decide which information should be transferred to the network level and which information should be treated confidentially.
  • the method according to the invention preferably has the following steps: determining whether a personalized agent is available and, if no personalized agent is available, executing further steps on the basis of predetermined properties.
  • the method is therefore so flexible that it supports data communication between a terminal level and a network level even without the presence of a personalized agent. If there is no personalized agent, it is assumed that the proprietary agent terminals of the terminal are located in a minimal area. It is also possible for standardized terminal properties to be transmitted by other means.
  • the method is also advantageous with the following steps: determining whether a personalized agent is available, if a personalized agent is available, determining whether the personalized agent is arranged in the terminal, and if the personalized agent is not arranged in the terminal , transfer the personalized agent to the terminal. If the personalized agent already exists in the terminal, there is no need to transfer the personalized agent. In the other case, the personalized agent is transferred, for example as a JAVA applet, to the memory area of the terminal.
  • the method is particularly useful when the personalized agent communicates with toolkits in the terminal and when toolkits in the terminal query information about terminal properties and transmit it to the personalized agent.
  • the personalized agent is designed as an interface superior to the toolkits.
  • the toolkits take on the task of determining the terminal properties, while the personalized agent serves as an interface to the network level.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that a personalized, intelligent agent creates numerous application advantages.
  • the terminal surface is always used optimally.
  • changes that occur on the network side can be taken into account.
  • Agents can sometimes act independently for a user. For example, you can relieve the user of administrative tasks, such as creating and managing mailing lists and organizing and monitoring appointments.
  • the management of a session can also be taken over, for example for multimedia video conferences, for online Purchasing and even when negotiating with other users or with agents of other users.
