Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system and method for the conditional transmission of a command carried out by a subscriber to a cellular communication network for mobiles.
- the invention applies more particularly to the validation of an order made by a subscriber to access the various functionalities of a cellular communication network for mobiles.
- a cellular communications network for mobiles validates an order made by a subscriber to said network via a location register.
- the location register checks the nature of the subscriber, his identification, his rights of access to the various functionalities of said network, the profile of said subscriber, the type of transmission used, etc.
- GSM Global System for Mobile communications
- GPRS General Packet Radio Service, or general packet radio service
- UMTS Universal Mobile
- Telecommunications System or universal telecommunications system with mobiles.
- said location register dialogues with different processing modules which each correspond to functionalities offered to the subscriber by the cellular communication network.
- Each of said processing modules allows the management of a determined and restricted number of functionalities. Given the increasing number of functionalities offered to a subscriber, said modules for processing these so-called functionalities are also more and more numerous.
- the number of data exchanges between the location register and these so-called processing modules is large and represents a heavy load for said location register. Therefore, the volume of transmission of validation information increases in the cellular communication network equipment for mobiles.
- the subscriber of the cellular communication network for mobiles can be of different natures, for example a mobile terminal, a server or even an external communication network, which further increases the information transmitted.
- the technical problem to be solved by the object of the present invention is to propose a system and a method for conditional transmission of a command carried out by a subscriber to a cellular communication network for mobiles, which would make it possible to remedy the drawbacks existing systems by reorganizing the validation on the one hand and by centralizing the control on the other hand outside of the functional equipment of said network, so as to reduce the data exchanges between the equipment of the cellular communication network for mobiles.
- the solution to the technical problem posed consists, according to the present invention, in that said system comprises at least one validation manager corresponding to said subscriber capable of validating at least one command carried out by said subscriber and at least one call controller capable of controlling , after validation, the execution of said command by said cellular communication network for mobiles.
- the centralization of validation in said validation manager and that of control in said call controller simplifies the operation of the system, as well as the maintenance of said system.
- the evolution of the cellular communication network towards future generations is also facilitated by said centralized processing. Therefore, the invention allows the management of a larger number of functionalities made available to the subscriber of said cellular communication network. It allows a subscriber to combine the functionalities offered at will, according to their uses.
- the conditional transmission system of a command carried out by a subscriber to a cellular network improves the quality of service by reducing the transmissions on said network.
- the subject of the invention is also a method of conditional transmission of an order, carried out by a subscriber to a cellular network, remarkable in that said method comprises the following steps: defining at least one profile associated with each subscriber in at least one database of at least one validation manager corresponding to said subscriber; transmitting to at least one call controller the data corresponding to at least one command carried out by said subscriber connected to said cellular communication network; selecting in said call controller said validation manager corresponding to the subscriber having carried out said command; transmit said received data from said call controller to said validation manager; request by said validation manager in said database the profile associated with said subscriber; request by said validation manager the operating data for each of the databases concerned as a function of said profile received; comparing said operating data received with at least one table of rules of said validation manager; verify at least one validation carried out from at least one table of conditions of said validation manager; defining at least one list of data necessary for the execution in said cellular network of said command requested by said subscriber; controlling in said call controller the execution of said command by said cellular communication network for
- Validation is carried out in successive stages using the validation manager. All data exchanges and processing are carried out at a single point, in said validation manager.
- the cellular communication network is only requested to execute the command, once it has been confirmed.
- said correspondence table of the call controller contains the list of validation managers corresponding to each subscriber.
- Each subscriber is managed by a validation manager.
- validation is carried out as close as possible to each of the subscribers. It is also carried out independently, in particular on the side of the calling subscriber and on the side of the called subscriber. This, once again, reduces the amount of data transmitted during exchanges on said cellular communication network.
- said means for storing the validation manager is a database containing a profile associated with each subscriber.
- a profile is defined by subscriber. This profile specifies, among other things, the services to which the latter has subscribed, the preferences and uses of the subscriber. Said profile is therefore personalized for each of the subscribers.
- a subscriber accesses the profile associated with said subscriber to modify it.
- the subscriber can modify the content of his profile, in particular his preferences and the management of the various subscribed services, according to his habits or his movements.
- said order made by said subscriber is not authorized if the validation is not positive.
- conditional transmission system after verification, will transmit the data necessary for the continuation or not of the command by the cellular communication network.
- Figure 1 is a diagram of the general architecture of the conditional transmission system of a command made by a subscriber to a cellular communication network for mobiles, according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 deals with the example of a subscriber, equipped with a mobile terminal 10 and connected to the private network of his company, whose communications are prepaid by said company.
- This subscriber wishes to establish voice communication with one of his work colleagues, within said private network of the company. To do this, he dials a short number provided for this communication, for example
- composition of said short number "123" by said subscriber is the command transmitted to said cellular communication network.
- the invention is described with the names used in the terminology of GSM-type mobile networks.
- the invention applies to all mobile communication networks in which there is validation of the commands made by a subscriber before the execution of said commands by a cellular communication network for mobiles.
- the subscriber of the cellular communication network is represented by a mobile terminal 10, but it can be of different natures, for example a server or else an external communication network, and by an equipment of subscriber 10 called UE (User Equipment) in FIG. 1.
- UE User Equipment
- BTS Base Transceiver Station
- BSC Base Station Controller
- the location register 24 called “HLR” (Home Location Register) is then requested to authenticate the subscriber and recognize the identification of the mobile terminal 10.
- HLR Home Location Register
- the use of said location register 24 is very limited compared to the current systems and notably excludes the transmission of information corresponding to the order made by the subscriber.
- Said switching center 23, or “MSC” transmits to a call controller 30 the identification of said mobile terminal 10 corresponding to the calling subscriber, as well as the command carried out by said subscriber either short number "123" and the type of transmission requested by the subscriber, ie voice communication.
- Said call controller 30 searches in a correspondence table for the identification of the mobile terminal 10 so as to know the validation manager 31, 31 ′, 31 ′′ corresponding to said mobile terminal 10.
- the call controller 30 selects a validation manager 31, 31 ', 31 "according to the identification of said mobile terminal 10. Each subscriber is managed by a validation manager 31, 31', 31". In this way, validation is carried out as close as possible to each of the subscribers.
- the call controller 30 transmits said information received to the validation manager 31 corresponding to the calling subscriber.
- Each of the commands carried out by a subscriber, connected to the cellular communication network for mobiles, is automatically and systematically transmitted to said call controller 30 and said validation manager 31 corresponding to said subscriber 10.
- the validation manager 31 stores said information coming from the call controller 30 in at least one allocation module 41, which is assigned to the command carried out by the subscriber for which said validation manager 31 has been requested, and allows the storage of all the information corresponding to said order.
- the different stages of validation are centralized at a single point, said manager 31, 31 ', 31 ", which simplifies the operation of the system, as well as maintenance.
- the evolution of the cellular communication network towards future generations is also facilitated by the centralization of said processing.
- the module 41 for assigning said selected validation manager 31 is connected to at least one database 32, which contains the profile of the subscriber concerned. Said database 32 can be implemented or not in the validation manager 31.
- the subscriber profile indicates the connection of said subscriber to the private network of his company, as well as the possession by said subscriber of an account for prepaying his communications by said company.
- These two pieces of information are considered to be the functionalities to which said subscriber has access.
- the subscriber can know the content of his profile, for example from a server, in particular his preferences and the management of the various subscribed services. The latter can modify the content of said profile to personalize it according to his habits or take into account his movements for the services to which he can access.
- the validation manager 31 Based on the information mentioned in the profile of said subscriber, the validation manager 31 interrogates each of the databases 33, 34, 35, 36 of data corresponding to each of the functionalities concerned.
- Each of the functionalities offered by a cellular communication network for mobiles is defined by at least one list of references corresponding to the service concerned.
- the list of references defining this functionality includes the date of registration of the subscriber to said service, the date of expiry of said service for this subscriber, the amount of the prepaid account of said subscriber.
- Each of the databases 33, 34, 35, 36 is assigned to a service and contains the information relating to the operation of said service for each subscriber, called references.
- the database 33 corresponds to the prepayment service for communications and contains in particular the operating reference of said service, namely the account status for said subscriber, so as to check whether he can use said service .
- the database 34 corresponding to the service of the private enterprise network contains in particular the references of the enterprise corresponding to the subscriber. Said database 34 also provides correspondence, within said company, between the short number "123" and, for example, the identification of the mobile terminal of the work colleague that the subscriber is trying to reach.
- Each of the databases 33, 34, 35, 36 of interrogated data transmits to the validation manager 31 at least one reference for which it has been requested.
- the validation manager 31 stores in said allocation module 41, corresponding to said command, the references coming from the various databases 33, 34, 35, 36 of data requested, in order to memorize the complete context linked to said command.
- the validation manager 31 then compares said references with at least one rule table in at least one comparison module 42, which contains the validation rules to be applied during the check for each of the references retrieved.
- the reference is validated. If the company's references are existing and correct, this information is validated. If the short number is found and can be interpreted so as to know the called party, the reference is validated.
- the validation manager 31 analyzes the references validated in at least one decision module 43, thanks to at least one condition table.
- Said decision module 43 performs the resolution of the references.
- Said condition table contains the sequence of references, which must be validated, to authorize the execution of said command.
- the decision module 43 examines whether the list of validated references is compatible with the complete context linked to the order in question. This verification by resolution, using said condition table, confirms the validation of the execution of said command which requested the validation manager 31.
- the decision module 43 validates the execution of the command of said subscriber if the state of the subscriber is correct (non-fraudulent subscriber for example), if belonging to the private network of the company is verified, if the state of the subscriber's prepayment account is positive.
- the validation manager 31 sends said resolved validations to at least one conversion module 44.
- Said conversion module 44 defines the way in which the command will be executed.
- the conversion module 44 establishes the list of data necessary for the execution of the control of said subscriber by the cellular communication network.
- This list is called a session, which corresponds to all of the actions that will be implemented by said network to take into account the subscriber's command.
- This session of said decision module 44 can be saved for the purposes of managing the cellular communication network, in particular for analyzing faults or errors, for producing statistics and for keeping a history of the operation of said network.
- the session includes the identification of said calling mobile terminal 10, the full called number necessary for the network, the type of support requested by the subscriber, namely voice communication, and the indication of prepayment on the communication.
- a validation cycle can define a session on the side of the called subscriber. Said validation cycle can analyze and validate the uses and movements from the profile of said called subscriber, corresponding to the short number selected by subscriber 10.
- validation is carried out at most of the subscriber concerned, said subscriber called. This is managed by a validation manager 31, 31 ', 31 "selected as a function of the identification of said called subscriber. The list being established of the data necessary for the execution by the cellular communication network of the command requested by said subscriber, the continuation of the call is authorized.
- a session will correspond to each of the colleagues participating in said conference.
- the validation manager 31 transmits to the call controller 30 the data necessary for the continuation or not of the call to the called subscriber.
- Said call controller 30 supervises the execution by the cellular communication network of the command requested by the subscriber.
- the execution of the session is again supervised at a single point, the call controller 30, which facilitates the management and maintenance of the system.
