DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing referred to in the following description, the same parts as those in the other drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals. (Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a system for realizing an online sign-up method according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, in this system, the online sign-up service is realized by the network configuration as shown in FIG. The system shown in the figure is a UI in which personal information is encrypted and stored.

P) 13, the G-MSC 14, the gateway switching center (MGS) 15 of the PDC network, and the opening server 17 which is a device that allows guidance to be flowed so that the customer can easily perform the opening work.
And IWE, which is a device that connects the exchange and the opening server.
(Interwork Equipment) 16,
An HLR 18 which is a memory for storing subscriber information,
Fixed Local Switch (Fix Local Switch)
h; hereinafter, FLS) 19 is included.

The MSC 12 has the SSP 12A and the HLR 1
The VLR 12B, which is a memory for temporarily storing the profile downloaded from No. 8, is configured. The opening server 17 is a database (DB) 1 that centrally manages customer information (contract information, telephone numbers, etc.) of subscribers.
7B and a customer management server device 17A for reading / writing this DB 17B.

In order to realize the online sign-up service in the new contract of the IMT-2000 service with such a configuration, the following processing is premised. That is, when the customer makes an application online, the business operator notifies the customer of the UIM and the personal identification number in which the personal information necessary for opening the service is written. For example, notification is made by mail. At the same time, the provisional profile is input from the opening server 17 to the HLR 18.

After the above-mentioned prerequisite processing, the new IMT before opening is opened.
A terminal, that is, the mobile device 11 accesses the opening server 17 via IWE to make an opening request. When this opening request is made, the following processing is performed. (A) The customer uses the UIM on the new IMT terminal 11B before opening.
The mobile device 11 equipped with 11A makes a call to the online sign-up special number and connects to the opening server 17. (B) The customer inputs the password for opening according to the guidance from the opening server 17. (C) The opening server 17, based on the calling ID and the personal identification number,
The identity is confirmed by matching with the stored data. After this confirmation, the normal profile is input to the HLR 18 by the SO from the opening server 17 and the opening process is performed. (D) After being rewritten to the regular profile by the HLR 18, a guidance message (hereinafter, guidance) indicating that the opening is completed is sent from the opening server to the mobile device 11 via 17.

The above opening sequence will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, first, in step A,
When the application for the new contract is accepted online, the opening server 17 inputs the minimum profile (provisional profile) required for transmission to the HLR 18. Next, in step B, the customer receives the UIM 11A and then the IMT.
The UIM 11A is attached to the terminal 11B, the power is turned on to perform the attach process, and the temporary profile is downloaded from the HLR 18 to the VLR.

Then, in step C, the O-CS set in the VLR 12B is processed by the subscriber exchange.
The special number is judged with I (C1), and the connection to SCP13 is made (C
2). Thereby, the above-mentioned problem 2 can be dealt with. Also, in SCP13, from the special number and the provisional opening flag,
It is determined that the call is a temporary opening call (C3), and if the temporary opening user is calling to the special number, the back number is notified to the subscriber exchange (C4). When the temporary opening user makes a call to a terminal other than the special number, the SCP 13 restricts the call and disconnects the call. Thereby, the above-mentioned problem 2 can be dealt with.

Connection IAM (Initial Adder)
After sending the ss Message) signal (C5), in step D, the opening server 17 sends a guidance prompting the user to enter a personal identification number for user authentication. Thereby, the above-mentioned subject 1 can be dealt with. In step E, the customer sends a personal identification number from the mobile device 11 by operating a push button. Thereby, the above-mentioned subject 1 can be dealt with.

In step F, when it is confirmed that the personal identification number notified in advance by the business operator at the time of application matches the entered number, the opening server 17 sends a confirmation guidance as to whether or not to open. , Accept push button operations from customers. Thereby, the above-mentioned subject 1 can be dealt with. In step G, the customer sends "1" to open and "0" to cancel by pushing the push button.

In step H, when the opening setting is completed in the opening server 17, the opening profile is input from the opening server 17 to the HLR 18. At the same time, in step I, the profile in the VLR 12B is also overwritten with the regular profile. At that timing, as a full-fledged service, in addition to special numbers, it becomes possible to make and receive calls, receive other services, and start charging. Thereby, the above-mentioned problem 4 can be dealt with.

In step J, the opening server 17 sends a guidance to start the incoming call test, and disconnects the call once (the customer disconnects the call). Thereby, the above-mentioned problem 3 can be dealt with. In step K, when the call is disconnected, an incoming call test is started for the return mobile unit 11 and it is confirmed that the incoming call can be normally received. After this confirmation, in step L, official opening is performed and various services are provided. Thereby, the above-mentioned problem 3 can be dealt with.

If the incoming call test fails, the procedure is as follows. There is a possibility that the incoming call may fail.
It is conceivable that there will be an unmatched profile between the profiles of 18 and VLR12B. In this case, the procedure for continuing the restore process of the blow file is started to download the regular profile from the HLR 18 to the VLR 12B again, so that the processing is continued.

The reason for carrying out the incoming call test after inputting the regular profile is as follows. That is, before the customer's opening confirmation, there is no official contract and no incoming call is required. Also, it is because it has only the function that can send at least at the time of temporary opening. Furthermore, this is to confirm whether the incoming call function is normal after rewriting the regular profile.

As described above, the online sign-up method realized by the present system is an online sign-up method for realizing online sign-up for a portable terminal that can be used by mounting a predetermined module. , Including the step of transmitting and connecting to the network by using the provisional information after the module is mounted, and the rewriting step of rewriting the provisional information to the regular information, and the rewriting by the rewriting step is performed before the above It means that the predetermined service is provided to the mobile terminal. Further, it further includes an authentication step for confirming the identity of the user of the mobile terminal, and rewriting is performed by the rewriting step after the authentication by the authentication step. Furthermore, after the rewriting by the rewriting step is performed, the method further includes a confirmation message transmitting step of transmitting a confirmation message indicating that the processing is completed to the portable terminal. The method further includes a charging start step of starting charging after the confirmation message is transmitted by the confirmation message transmitting step. The network is an intelligent network, and the service is provided by making outgoing connection to the network in a state where the provision of the predetermined service is restricted and rewriting in the rewriting step.

Next, an operation example of the present system will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In these figures, the mobile unit 11, MSC 12, SSP 12A, VLR 1

The provisional profile is SO input to S8 (S101).
This SO input is performed by the operator who received the application.

As a result, the UIM 11A for new contract is sent from the operator (business operator) to the customer. When the customer inserts the sent UIM 11A into the mobile device and turns on the power of the mobile device, the attach (A
(tach) processing is performed (S102). This attach process will be described later with reference to FIG. By this attachment processing, the provisional profile is downloaded from the HLR 18 to the VLR 12B, and the mobile device of the customer can provisionally make a call. It should be noted that this provisional profile is a profile in which only transmission to an online sign-up special number is permitted, and a provisional opening flag and O-CSI are set.

After that, when the customer makes a call request to the online sign-up special number (SETUP), the Called p

By the above processing, the ROM built-in PDC
The online sign-up service, which was impossible with the terminal, can be realized by using the UIM separation type IMT terminal and providing the temporary open state. (Embodiment 2) In Embodiment 1 described above, the case where an uncontracted user newly contracts a service has been described, but the present invention can be applied not only to this but also to the case of extending a service. The specific processing flow is as follows. (A) Special service number for remote service addition by a user with a formal contract (different from online sign-up service)
Make a call to and connect to the opening server. (B) The user inputs the password for adding the service according to the guidance from the opening server. (C) The opening server checks the identity based on the calling ID and the personal identification number by matching with the data stored in the customer management server. After this confirmation, the opening server sends the service addition guidance, and the NW that the user wants to add
The service number of the service is registered by, for example, a push button operation. (D) By this operation, the HL is passed via the customer management server.
Since the R profile can be rewritten, it is possible to add a service.

As described above, the predetermined service is added only to the users who have completed the formal contract, that is, the users who have completed the rewriting of the temporary information to the formal information. The second embodiment is intended for users who have already been formally contracted, but not for the temporarily connected users described in the first embodiment. Therefore, when the MSC determines the temporary opening flag and the temporary opening user makes a call to the above-mentioned special number for remote service addition,
The guidance such as "Please check the number and try again" is sent and the call is disconnected. (Embodiment 3) When the NW service is added in the embodiment 2 described above, a more sophisticated service can be added by providing necessary personal information to the user-side mobile device. In this case, the personal information is U for replacement.
The IM can be sent again by mail, or can be downloaded on the NW. The means for re-sending is the first embodiment.
It may be the same as the case of. In order to download the personal information from the NW, the function of encrypting and transmitting the personal information on the NW side, the function of decrypting the personal information transmitted on the mobile device side, the subscriber in UIM A function to rewrite the information area is required. According to the third embodiment, the service control program possessed by the SCP is rewritten and the personal information corresponding to the rewritten program is downloaded by the user, so that the user can enjoy a more advanced service without changing the mobile device. it can. In other words, the UIM has personal information about the user of the mobile terminal written therein. Therefore, the UIM has a function of rewriting the personal information written in the inserted UIM.
Add to mobile device. By doing so, more advanced services can be realized without changing the mobile device.

In the first to third embodiments described above, the method of realizing online signup using the IN model has been described. When such a service is installed in a switch, the development scale usually increases, but if the system configuration is based on the IN model, S
Since both CP and SSP have less impact on development, advanced services can be easily realized. This can be realized not only in the mobile communication network but also in other networks.

[0076]

As described above, according to the present invention, after making the outgoing connection to the network by using the provisional information, the identity is confirmed, and thereafter, the information is rewritten to the proper information.
There is an effect that the online sign-up service, which was impossible with the PDC terminal with the built-in OM, can be realized with the IMT terminal with the UIM separation type. Further, by admitting the service expansion to the user who has made a formal contract and rewriting the information written in the UIM, a more advanced service can be realized without changing the mobile device.
