JP2004511112A - Service provider discovery system via cellular telephone - Google Patents

Abstract

A method for automatically discovering a predefined service provider via a cellular mobile telephone system. The service provider is a subscriber of the service provider control (local CSP system). The method includes providing a quick dialing program received by a current cellular telephone network (CTN) from a caller. This call is then identified and forwarded to the service provider control (local CSP system). The information transferred includes the specific cell from which the call originated. The service provider control (local CSP system) then invokes a cross-discovery program to identify another mobile subscriber from the same cell and route the call to the identified mobile subscriber.

Description

Field of the Invention The invention disclosed herein is based on a cellular telephone between a service provider and a person in need of the service, based on their local location in a defined cellular cell at a given time. It is a discovery bridge system.
[0001]
Background of the Invention Persons in need of urgent services, such as car repair services or mere taxis, have a great deal of time trying to find available service providers using the phone book, or on a random basis. Time must be spent. Even if they are geographically close to each other, they remain unaware of each other unless they look at each other. If a service provider is found, the service provider is not always available, and the search may start all over again and repeat several times.
[0002]
To avoid all of this, the Service Provider Control (CSP) provides a quick and efficient response to the needs specified above when both are in the domain of the CSP at the same time.
[0003]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The new invention provides a new method in the field of services provided via a cellular telephone. The new service is operated by a subscriber's program that works with the CSP system to elaborate and combine the digital data that it receives constantly from the cellular telephone network (CTN). When the CTN receives a code call that has been programmed for quick dialing, it identifies the call and forwards it to the CSP. The identified data received by the CSP includes data regarding the cellular cell that originated the call. This data starts the CSP's cross-discovery program and follows the last data flow received from the CTN to find a suitable subscriber in the same cellular cell that originated the call. Upon completion of the cross-discovery process, the call is routed to the appropriate subscriber.
[0004]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION By clicking on a pre-programmed code on the cellular telephone user's (hereinafter "user") cellular telephone, the CTN converts the call into a quick dialing programmed call to the CSP. Once identified, the call and all of the user's digital identities, including the identity of the particular cellular cell that originated the call, are forwarded to the CSP by the regional CTN. The CSP identifies the required services through an automated answering voice list operated by the user. The CSP then transmits all the data of the defined operating service provider (hereinafter "subscriber") who is a subscriber to the CSP and the last signal of the subscriber received from the CTN. Initiate an intersection search with the updated data of the originating cellular cell. If there is a match between the user and the cellular cell where the subscriber is located, the CSP dials the subscriber's number via the CTN. CTN receives the dial request. When the subscriber answers the call, a connection between the user and the subscriber is obtained. If no answer is received from the subscriber or upon request from the user, the call is automatically forwarded to the next subscriber on the list of matched subscribers.

Claims (10)

A method for controlling the operation of a defined communication between a service provider and a user who are subscribers to a CSP via a cellular telephone. The method is based on a system for finding a cellular cell within a regional segment of a CTN system where both service provider and user enable signals are emitted at a given time,
Run different operating programs, updates, discovery programs, and a subscriber management program dedicated to managing the discovery of subscribers at a given time and in a specific cellular cell according to specific parameters, and link the user to the desired subscriber. Steps, wherein the program includes instructions for receiving, storing, updating, and processing data coming from the local CTN system according to specific parameters and processing commands according to the specific parameters;
Processing the encoded call received from the user according to the discovery update and the availability of the matching encoded subscriber. 2. The invention of claim 1, further comprising an operating program for receiving, at predetermined intervals from the CTN, data regarding the location of the active subscriber according to the signaled cellular cell. The invention of claim 1, further comprising an operating program responsive to receiving an encoded call from a user. By cross-processing the subscriber's identification list of the coded service category requested by the user and the subscriber's cellular cell location at the time the call arrived, the operating program establishes a communication between the user and the subscriber. Make a connection. The independent functions of the operating program are described in the following list of process steps:
A response program with a voice interface for user use,
A communication program including a communication protocol for communicating with the CTN computer and a communication protocol with the update program;
・ Subscriber management program,
・ Statistics program,
A discovery program including a code-based search system operated by the user and a cross-discovery program for finding the required subscriber in the defined cellular cell;
Updates, including systems for receiving and storing online update data,
A system for processing the results of the intersection finding program and preparing a call priority list of the subscriber based on parameters stored in the database of the subscriber;
・ Unauthorized operation use protection program,
The invention according to claim 3, which is selected from the group consisting of: Each independent function further includes an update control program, the following list of process steps:
Access code and menu identification,
Communication program: Protocol for communicating with the remote operation program,
・ Subscriber program,
・ Statistics program,
・ Update program,
・ Unauthorized operation use protection program,
The invention according to claim 1, which is selected from the group consisting of: The determining instruction includes evaluating an indication of an encoded call operated by a user by CTN, the method comprising:
