Realize providing application services. Hereinafter, the present invention will be further described through specific embodiments with reference to the drawings.

  In the LTE deployment, the home base station is a public resource used by CSG users who are placed in public places such as office buildings, schools, and technical parks by providers and managers. In this case, the provider or administrator desires to provide a specific user interface (such as having a specific location mark or embodying a specific location style) for company employees, students and faculty, park clients, etc. There is. At the same time, these users are provided with a network application service that satisfies specific demands (for example, business operations, teaching activities at schools, management of technical parks). Further, one CSG area may include one or a plurality of home base station cell coverages, and each home base station cell area is more specific (for example, in an office building) in the same CSG area. Provide user interfaces for conference rooms and offices, school cafeterias and libraries, technical park laboratories and laboratories, and provide specific demands for these users (company meetings and daily work, school classes and There is also the possibility of providing network application services that satisfy book browsing, scientific research and development testing.

  At the same time, the home base station is also installed in the home by the provider or user, and is a non-public resource used by home CSG users. In this case, the provider or the user has a desire to provide a user interface specific to the home user (for example, having a home mark or embodying a home style). At the same time, these users are provided with network application services that satisfy specific demands (eg, home diary management, home digital photo album management, home video system management, etc.).

  For ease of understanding, FIG. 4 shows two types of user interfaces for user equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention. The user equipment can change the currently used user interface according to the network where the user is currently located.

  In FIG. 4, the left side is a user equipment interface triggered on the home CSG area and includes the following parts:

  Photo 41 and video 42: Shortcut examples of a network application program used by a home CSG user, which are a shortcut of a photo upload widget (Widget) and a shortcut of a home video playback control widget, respectively.

  Contact Person 49: The Contact Person widget button is an example of a core network application program button.

  Schedule information 410: Company employee schedule information widget interface is an example of a network application program interface used by company CSG users.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the user equipment user interface management method according to the embodiment of the present invention realizes the change of the user equipment interface and the access of the network application program by the trigger of the CSG area. The method includes the following steps in detail.

  In step 11, the first CSG ID of the first cell that is the staying destination or switching destination of the user equipment is acquired.

  Here, before staying in the first cell, the user equipment does not stay in any cell or stays in another cell other than the first cell. The first cell is specifically a cell corresponding to the first home base station.

  In step 12, a first user interface corresponding to the first CSG ID is determined based on a predetermined correspondence between the CSG ID and the user interface.

  Here, in the user equipment, the correspondence relationship between the CSG ID and the user interface may be set in advance. For example, the user can set a corresponding user interface for each CSG ID, such as setting a standby screen and setting a shortcut icon of the network application program in the user interface according to demand.

  In step 13, the user equipment user interface is changed to the first user interface.

  Prior to step 11, the user equipment stays in the first cell by performing cell selection or reselection, or accesses the first cell through cell switching.

  In the above method, by setting the correspondence between the CSG ID and the user interface in advance in the user equipment, the user can select different CSG IDs such as a standby screen, a menu screen, and an application program icon (for example, a shortcut icon of a network application program). The user interface content corresponding to can be set by itself. After the user equipment enters a cell, the user interface of the user equipment is changed to a user interface corresponding to the CSG ID corresponding to the cell, and the user interface is flexible according to the change of the cell where the user equipment is currently located. The function to adjust to.

  Usually, a plurality of home base stations (cells) are associated with one CSG ID, that is, a plurality of home base stations (cells) have the same CSG ID. For example, a certain university has a plurality of home base stations, and these home base stations have the same CSG ID. The home base station located in the cafeteria and the home base station located in the library usually provide different application program service functions. When the user accesses the home base station in the cafeteria, he is interested in the menu of the day, and it is desired that the order service program is displayed on the user interface. On the other hand, when accessing a home base station in a library, it is interested in lending and returning books, and it is desirable that a lending / return management program be displayed on the user interface. The above example shows that different home interfaces may be required for different home base stations with the same CSG ID. Therefore, in this embodiment, a correspondence relationship between (the CSG ID of the cell and the name of the home base station to which the cell belongs) and (user interface) is further set in advance.

  In step 11, the first home base station name of the home base station to which the first cell belongs is further acquired.

  In the step 12, the first CSG ID and the name of the first home base station are determined based on a predetermined correspondence relationship between the cell attribute including the CSG ID of the cell and the name of the home base station to which the cell belongs and the user interface. On the other hand, the corresponding first user interface is determined.

  In step 13, the user interface of the user equipment is changed to a user interface corresponding to the first CSG ID and the first home base station name, so that a different user interface is provided to different home base stations in the same CSG area network. Can be realized.

  The following example further interprets the above steps using cell selection / reselection and cell switching.

  In the following two embodiments, user equipment is preliminarily maintained for interface change and network application program attribute management target, and based on this, (CSG ID and home base station name) and (user interface and network application program attribute) ) And establish and maintain a correspondence relationship. FIG. 12 is a structural diagram of the interface change and network application program attribute management target in the user equipment, and includes the following parts.

  Accessible CSG ID list 1101: A plurality of CSG IDs are included, and each CSG ID includes one or a plurality of home base station names (FIG. 11 shows only one CSG ID).

  One user interface and network application program attribute list 1104 corresponding to one CSG ID 1102 and one home base station name 1103 (only one home base station name is shown in FIG. 11).

  The user interface and network application program attribute list 1104 includes one user interface ID 1105 and one network application program attribute list 1106. One user interface is uniquely associated with the user interface ID, and the contents of each user interface are preset.

  The network application program attribute list 1106 includes one or a plurality of network application program IDs 1107 and network application program access parameters 1108 corresponding to the network application program ID 1107 (FIG. 11 shows one network application program ID and one network application program ID). Only the access parameters of the corresponding network application program are shown).

  As shown in FIG. 6, the flow of the user equipment interface management method according to one embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps.

  In step 51, the user equipment performs network selection after startup, performs pre-operations such as frequency scanning pacing, and selects a mobile network that has access rights to the user equipment and has available signals. The step may be executed in an automatic manner in which the user equipment is arranged by the user equipment manufacturer so that the user equipment performs voluntarily, or the user selects one of the two or more mobile networks and selects the network. Then, the user equipment may be instructed to access by a manual method. In the latter case, after making a network selection, the result of the network selection should be presented to the user.

  In step 52, when the user equipment enters the CSG area after activation, the user equipment is made to preferentially select a home base station cell in the normal CSG area. At this time, the mobile network side controls the user equipment via signaling so as to select the CSG ID and report the selected CSG ID to the mobility control unit of the user equipment.

  In step 53, the user equipment performs radio measurement based on the mobile network ID selected in step 51 or the CSG ID selected in step 52, and performs cell selection or reselection based on the result of radio measurement. Note that the wireless measurement results may include other selectable mobile network IDs.

  In step 54, after completion of cell selection and reselection, based on the CSG ID and the home base station name corresponding to the current cell, the user equipment uses the user interface and network application program corresponding to the CSG ID and the home base station name. Select an attribute list.

  In step 55, a user interface ID is selected based on the user interface selected in step 54 and the network application program attributes. When the user interface and the network application program attribute list include two or more user interface IDs, the step may be executed manually, and the user selects one of the two or more user interface IDs. Select and instruct user equipment to change to the interface. In this case, after selecting the user interface ID, the user interface ID selection result should be presented to the user. This step may be performed in a default manner, setting the default user interface ID of the user equipment by the user or provider.

  In step 56, based on the user interface ID selected in step 55, the user equipment performs an interface change.

  The above steps are used for the user interface change process when the user equipment enters the CSG area when the user equipment is empty.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the flow of the user equipment interface management method in another embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps.

  In step 61, switching occurs during communication of the user equipment, and the user equipment further determines whether or not the switching is the same frequency switching.

  In step 62, if it is not the same frequency switching based on the determination result in step 61, the user equipment needs to perform radio measurement at a new frequency and acquire a CGI (Cell Global Identifier) of the target cell.

  In step 63, based on the determination result in step 61, when the same frequency is switched, the user equipment reports the CGI of the target cell directly to the mobile network. In the case of non-same frequency switching, the user equipment reports the CGI of the target cell to the mobile network based on the new measurement result after performing the radio measurement in step 62.

  In step 64, based on the CGI report information in step 63, the network side controls the user equipment so as to switch to the cell uniquely specified by the CGI. If the cell is a home base station cell, it means that the user equipment has entered the CSG area during communication, and the cell should be one home base station cell in the CSG area.

  In step 65, based on the CSG ID and home base station name of the current cell to which the user equipment has been successfully switched in step 64, the user equipment uses the user interface and network application program corresponding to the CSG area and home base station name. Select an attribute list. The CGI includes information such as a CSG ID and a home base station name corresponding to the cell.

  In step 66, a user interface ID is selected based on the user interface selected in step 65 and the network application program attribute list. The step may be performed manually, and the user selects one of the two or more user equipment interfaces and instructs the user equipment to change to the interface. In this case, after selecting the user interface ID, the user interface ID selection result should be presented to the user. This step may be performed in a default manner, setting the default user interface ID of the user equipment by the user or provider.

  In step 67, based on the user interface ID selected in step 66, the user equipment executes the interface change.

  The above steps are used for user interface change processing when the user equipment enters the CSG area in the connected state.
