Definitions

  • the present invention is generally related to the implementation of number services.
  • Mobile stations usually include a local or private telephone directory, where the user may store numbers he/she considers useful.
  • a telephone directory may be stored on a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card or in the mobile station's memory (or both of these).
  • SIM Subscriber Identity Module
  • the caller's MSISDN number Mobile Subscriber ISDN number
  • the caller's MSISDN number Mobile Subscriber ISDN number
  • the user can immediately be shown the name of the caller stored in the private telephone directory for the number in question, whereby the user sees right away who is calling.
  • the caller's MSISDN number is not found in the private telephone directory, it is only possible to show the caller's number to the user and the user has to search for the caller's name in a number service (in Finland 118, for example) or some external telephone directory to find out the caller's name.
  • a number service in Finland 118, for example
  • an application In order to find out an unknown caller's name immediately when a telephone call arrives, an application is provided that inquires the caller's name from a number service by means of an SMS message and shows the name obtained as a response from the number service to the user in connection with the incoming telephone call. The user pays for the use of the application according to the number of number inquiry SMS messages sent.
  • a problem with such a solution is that it may cause the user to incur unpredictable costs as he/she cannot control the number of incoming telephone calls from unknown numbers.
  • use of the service abroad may cause unexpected costs as the price of SMS messages abroad may be significantly higher than in the home country. Therefore, it is necessary to further develop the implementation of number services.
  • One basic idea in the present invention is to implement a general telephone number register in a user's terminal device in an encrypted format so that the user of the terminal device does not have direct access to the general telephone number register in question.
  • Information in the general telephone number register in question is provided to the user in certain ways.
  • a terminal device holds a general telephone directory or telephone number register in an encrypted format enables the party maintaining the general telephone number register to control its use and, as necessary, bill for its use.
  • a method for providing a number service to be executed in a user's terminal device comprises: maintaining a general telephone number register in connection with the user's terminal device in an encrypted format so that the user of the terminal device is prevented from having direct access to said general telephone number register; receiving a search criterion; searching said general telephone number register for data using said search criterion; and providing said searched data for use by the user of the terminal device.
  • the above-mentioned search criterion may be one or several of the following, for example: a telephone number, a fax number, a name, a company, an address, an e-mail address, an IP address, an SIP address, a domain name, a vehicle registration number, a person number, a date of birth, a social security number, a user identifier, a former name and location information.
  • the method further comprises: detecting contact from an unknown number; and processing said unknown number as said search criterion by searching said general telephone number register for data corresponding to said unknown number.
  • the above-mentioned contact may be a telephone call, an SMS message, a multimedia message, a video call, an instant message, a group message, a push message, or a push call, for example.
  • said terminal device comprises a private telephone number register where the user of the terminal device has direct access and the execution of said detection step comprises: detecting contact from some number; searching for said number in said private telephone number register; and if said number cannot be found in the private telephone number register, determining said number to be unknown.
  • Said search based on an unknown number may be executed conditionally, for example, with the search comprising: offering the user a possibility to execute the search; and executing the search only if the user accepts the offer.
  • the method further comprises: storing billing information related to said search; and delivering said billing information to an external billing system.
  • the above-mentioned billing information may be delivered when a predetermined criterion is met, for example.
  • the above-mentioned predetermined criterion may comprise at least one of the following, for example: reaching a predetermined billing amount, reaching a predetermined number of searches, expiry of a predetermined period of time, and receiving a billing information request from said external billing system.
  • the method further comprises: automatically updating information in said general telephone register.
  • the above-mentioned updating may be executed, for example, by setting up a connection from the terminal device at regular intervals to an application server, said application server having access to an updated general telephone number register; and using said connection to retrieve the updated general telephone number register.
  • the terminal device is connected to a data communication network and said updating is executed by delivering an update from said data communication network using OTA (over-the- air) technology.
  • OTA over-the- air
  • said updating is executed by delivering only changed information to the general telephone number register in the terminal device or by delivering an updated general telephone number register to the terminal device to replace the previous version in its entirety.
  • a terminal device comprising: a storage medium and data processing means connected to the storage medium, characterized in that said storage medium comprises a general telephone number register in an encrypted format so that the user of said terminal device is prevented from having direct access to said general telephone number register, and in that said data processing means is configured to receive a search criterion, search said general telephone number register for data using said search criterion, and provide said searched data for use by the user of the terminal device.

  • the above-mentioned updating may be executed using OTA (over-the-air) technology, for example.
  • said updating may be executed through a separate application server.
  • said updating may be executed by delivering only changed information to the general telephone number register in the terminal device or by delivering ari updated general telephone number register to the terminal device to replace the previous version in its entirety.
