Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a service system for a mobile communication system. More specifically, each base station provides a wireless service in each zone divided into zones, and a mobile terminal which detects a transition to a different zone is incorporated into the system. The present invention relates to a service system of a mobile communication system that makes a location registration request.

[0002] The greatest advantage of the mobile communication system is that it is possible to make a call (communication) wherever you are, and there is a position registration technique that supports this. Mobile communication systems are expected to become more and more popular in the future due to their convenience, but there is room for increasing the convenience by utilizing the technology unique to the systems, and further utilization of the systems is desired.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional mobile communication system, a wide area is zone-divided and a communication channel is repeatedly used in distant zones so that as many people as possible can communicate at the same time. Under such circumstances,
Today, for example, at suburban stations, when the train arrives late at night, it is common to see many returnees rushing into a taxi line. On the other hand, those who ask for a car pick up a line in the payphone. Even in such a case, if you have a mobile device, you can ask for pick-up without waiting in line, which is very convenient.

However, the number of communication channels per zone is limited. Moreover, since the mobile devices are portable, many mobile devices will be used all at once around the station in the above case, and many people will be waiting for a call.
In addition, the personal handy phone system (PHS), which is planned to be put to practical use in the future, is expected to have a relatively small service area such as stations and downtown areas, and it is expected that there will be few lines that can be used for communication, which will increase the concentration. I think that the.

[0005]

Conventionally, there has been no suitable solution for alleviating the radio channel busy in the above case. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a service system of a mobile communication system capable of transmitting a predetermined message to a predetermined communication destination without causing radio channel busy.

[0006]

The above-mentioned problems can be solved by the structure shown in FIG. That is, the service system of the mobile communication system of the present invention is a mobile communication in which each base station performs wireless service of each zone divided into zones, and a mobile terminal that has detected a transition to a different zone requests the system for location registration. In the service method of the system, a memory for storing pre-designated zone information, notification destination information, and message information, and a service control unit that is energized by a location registration request from a mobile terminal. When the zone concerned matches the designated zone information in the memory, the terminal of the notification destination information is called to notify the message information.

[0007]

In this mobile communication system, the radio service of each zone Z ₁ and Z ₂ divided into zones is provided to each base station BS ₁ and BS.
₂ and the mobile terminal MS, which has detected the shift to a different zone (for example, Z ₁ → Z ₂ ), requests the system to perform location registration. In this case, the memory 32 stores predetermined zone information (for example, zone Z ₂ ), notification destination information (for example, subscriber number of the telephone TEL), and message information (for example, voice information of “coming to the station”). ) Is remembered. Then, the service control unit 31 is activated by the system triggered by the location registration request from the mobile terminal MS, and the zone related to the location registration request (ie, zone Z ₂ ) is designated by the zone information (ie, zone information) designated in the memory. , if it matches the zone Z ₂₎ terminal of the notification destination information (ie, the message information in a call to the telephone TEL) (ie, to notify the voice information) of "come to pick which arrived at the station."

According to the present invention, the mobile terminal MS only makes a normal location registration request to the system, so that the radio channel (generally a control channel) can be used for a short time (tens of ms).
It's just a hold. Therefore, even if a large number of location registration requests are concentrated in one zone around the station as described above, there is no fear of causing a wireless channel busy. On the other hand, the service control unit 31 notifies each designated notification destination terminal of the designated message. Since the wireless channel is not used for this message notification, there is no risk of causing wireless channel busy.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to transmit a predetermined message to a predetermined communication destination without causing a radio channel busy, and to notify a constant communication destination of the constant message (such a use). Is not a few) is extremely powerful. Further, preferably, the memory 32 is provided in the home memory station HLR for registering the current location of the mobile terminal MS, and the function of the service control unit 31 is provided in the mobile switching center MSC.

In this way, the message notification service according to the present invention can be easily realized by simply adding a simple function to the existing mobile communication system (that is, expanding the home memory and adding communication service software). Further, preferably, the memory 32 and the service control unit 31 are integrated to form an independent service center 30.
Is activated by the mobile communication system triggered by the location registration request from the mobile terminal MS.

In this way, the existing home memory station HLR
Also, the message notification service according to the present invention can be realized without increasing the processing load of the mobile switching center MSC. Further, by providing the independent service center 30, not only a simple message notification service for individual subscribers but also various types of services for a large number of subscribers can be facilitated as described in a second embodiment described later. Can plan and operate.

Further, preferably, zone information, notification destination information or message information in the memory 32 can be registered, selected or changed by calling a special number from the mobile terminal MS or a fixed terminal (telephone, personal computer, etc.). Therefore, the desired message can be efficiently notified to the desired notification destination from the desired designated zone.

Further, preferably, the service control unit 31 notifies the mobile terminal MS of the information indicating that the message information has been notified, via the control channel. By doing this, the mobile terminal MS
The carrier can know that the message has been notified without using the call channel. Further, even if the carrier forgets to notify the message, he / she can recognize again that the message should have been notified.

Also preferably, the memory 32 can store a plurality of zone information, notification destination information or message information for each mobile terminal. By doing this, for example, the first notification is sent to the first notification destination in the first designated zone, and the second notification is sent to the second notification destination.
It becomes possible to easily notify the first or second notification destination of the second message in the designated zone.

In the first embodiment, the memory 32 (not shown)
Is provided in the home memory station HLR, and the service control unit 3
The mobile switching center MSC is provided with the function 1 (not shown). FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the subscriber registration information of the first embodiment.
Home memory station HLR is subscriber number MSN of mobile unit MS
Various registration information is stored in the area referred to by (or mobile unit number MSI).

The "subscriber authentication key" holds key information for authenticating that the mobile unit MS is registered, and the "current position" is information on the location of the mobile unit MS (for example, area). Identification code, zone number, base station number, etc.) are held. In addition, although not shown, normal registration information for managing the mobile station MS is recorded. The following is stored information corresponding to the memory 32. "Service Flag"
Is a flag indicating whether this notification service is registered (contracted),
The “personal identification number” is a personal identification number for confirming that the user is a subscriber of the service, and the “start / stop” is a flag for controlling start / end of the service.

Further, the "base station number" stores the base station number (or area identification code, zone number) designated by the subscriber, and the "service set" stores information on the service contents set designated by the subscriber. . The "notification destination" stores the subscriber number of the notification destination designated by the subscriber (that is, mobile device, fixed telephone, facsimile machine, personal computer, pager, etc.) and, if necessary, model information. "Message" stores the message specified by the subscriber.

A plurality of "notification destinations" can be registered. For example, "notification destination (1)" = "03-1234-5677-1""notification destination (2)" = "03-1234-5678-2""notification destination (3)" = "03-1234-5679" -3 ”can be registered. Here, the numbers following the station number (03) and the subscriber number (1234-5677-9) represent the model of the notified party (that is, 1 = TEL, 2 = FAX, 3 = PC).

A plurality of "messages" can be registered. For example, "Message (1)" = "Arrived at the station to pick you up""Message(2)" = "Arrived at the station and go home""Message(3)" = "Now XX station passing," You can register as "Give me the station 5 minutes later." Each message is input as a voice signal or a character code, but is converted into a voice signal, a character pattern signal, and a character code signal if necessary so that it can be output to any of TEL, FAX, and PC.

Further, a plurality of "base station numbers" and "service sets" can be registered. For example, when returning home using a normal route, "base station number (1)" = "BS ₂ number""service set (1)" = "notification destination (1), message (1)" Specify as follows. In addition, when returning home using another route, "base station number (2)" = "BS ₄ number""service set (2)" = "notification destination (2), message (2)" Specify as follows.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the service information registration process of the first embodiment. The subscriber dials the special number (1XY) + instruction type (Δ = registration) from the mobile station MS. The exchange MSC analyzes the instruction type and inquires of the home memory station HLR that the request is for registration. The home memory station HLR determines the registration area from the subscriber number MSN and checks whether "service flag" = 1. When "service flag" = 1, the information necessary for registering the service information (personal identification number, etc.) as well as the information indicating that the service is available are provided to the exchange MS.
Return to C. If "service flag" = 0, information indicating that service is not possible is returned.

The switching center MSC, in step S1,
When the service is not possible, the call of the mobile station MS is disconnected. If the service is available, the personal identification number is requested by voice guidance. Only the contracted subscriber can register service information. The subscriber inputs the personal identification number from the mobile station MS. The switching center MSC compares the personal identification number input with the personal identification number received from the home memory station HLR in step S2, and disconnects the call of the mobile station MS if no match is obtained.
When a match is obtained, the voice guidance further requests the base station number. The subscriber inputs the base station number (for example, the number of the base station BS ₂ ) from the mobile station MS.

The switching center MSC then requests a message by voice guidance, and the subscriber inputs "Welcome to the station" from the mobile station MS, for example, by voice. The exchange MSC records this in an audio file. If "Message (1)" = "Welcome to arrive at the station" is registered on the exchange MSC side, the subscriber may input the message number (= 1).

Next, the switching center MSC requests a notification party by voice guidance, and the subscriber receives from the mobile station MS the subscriber number of the notification party and, if necessary, the terminal type number (for example, "03").
-1234-5677-1 "). After that, when the subscriber presses the continue key (eg * key), the exchange MS
C requests the next base station number by voice guidance.
Thereafter, the subscriber is the second base station number in the same manner as above.
You can enter message and notification information. When the subscriber presses the end key (for example, the # key), the exchange MSC sends a series of registration information to the home memory station HLR. The home memory station HLR organizes the registration information in the format of FIG. 3 and records it in the memory in step S3. On the other hand, the switching center MSC disconnects the call of the subscriber.

The subscriber is assigned a special number (1X
It is also possible to change the service information by dialing Y) + instruction type (Δ = registration). In this case, the portion that does not need to be changed during the above procedure is pressed the unchanged key (for example, * key) after receiving the voice guidance. In this case, the exchange MSC does not rewrite that portion. Then, it suffices to input new registration information only for the portion that needs to be changed. Alternatively, the special number (1XY) + instruction type (Δ = change) + changed part may be dialed to change only a desired part.

The subscriber receives a special number (1X
Y) + instruction type (△ = start / stop) to start this service at the desired time,
Or it can be stopped. Further, the above registration processing may be performed from the telephone TEL or the personal computer PC other than the mobile station MS. However, the exchange EO in this case analyzes the special number call, requests the subscriber number of the mobile station MS, and connects the call to the exchange MSC. Then, the process of FIG. 4 is performed. Hereinafter, one application example of the first embodiment will be specifically described. For example, the number of the mobile station BS _{2 in} the zone Z ₂ including the station where the subscriber gets off when returning home is registered in the base station number (1). The notification destination (1) is, for example, the telephone TEL in the subscriber's home 10. And the message (1) is "Come and pick up at the station".

FIG. 5 is a flow chart of the location registration process of the first embodiment.

The exchange MSC ₁ which has received the notice notifies the home memory station HLR of the fact that the location registration request has been issued, and the home memory station HLR which has received the notice registers the location of the mobile station MS in step S12. Further, in step S13, the mobile station MS is in service (that is, service flag =
It is determined whether or not 1 and start / stop = start), and if it is not in service, the exchange M indicates that location registration is completed.
Return to SC ₁ .

In this example, since the service is in progress, the number of the base station BS ₁ whose position is registered is further compared with the number of the base station BS ₂ designated in advance in step S14. In this case, since no match is obtained, the home memory station HLR returns the fact that the location registration is completed to the exchange MSC ₁ . The exchange MSC ₁ that has received the notification of the completion of the location registration notifies the mobile station MS of the completion of the registration via the control channel that is being held, and ends the location registration process.

Next, when the mobile unit MS moves to the zone Z ₂ , the zone change is detected in the same manner as described above in step S11. In the home memory station HLR in this case, step S
A zone coincidence is obtained in step S13 and in step S14. In the case of zone coincidence, the home memory station HLR returns predetermined service information (notification destination, message, etc.) to the exchange MSC ₁ together with the notification that the location registration is completed.

The switching center MSC ₁ which has received the notification notifies the mobile station MS of the start of the service via the pending control channel if necessary (for example, if a service option (not shown) is set in the home memory). Send. As a result, the mobile station MS generates a signal sound indicating that the service has started. It is convenient that the subscriber can know that the service has started as specified by hearing the signal sound that the service has started. Further, if the control channel is used, it is possible to efficiently notify the start of the service in a short time without occupying the call channel.

The switching center MSC ₁ continues to notify the terminal T
A dial call is made to E (telephone TEL in this example). In step S15, a response from the terminal TE is waited for.
If there is no response even after the lapse of a predetermined time, the call to the terminal TE is disconnected, and if necessary, a notification indicating that the service is not available is transmitted to the mobile station MS via the control channel. As a result, the mobile station MS generates a signal sound indicating that service is not possible, and ends the position registration. When the subscriber hears the signal tone that the service is not available, he / she can know that the message has not arrived at the notification destination, and can dial the call from the alighting station later. Therefore, the reliability of this notification service is improved.

If there is a response within a predetermined time (in this example, the telephone TEL is off-hook), the exchange MSC ₁ gives the terminal TE a voice message "Come to the station". Send. Incidentally, when the designated terminal TE is the facsimile apparatus FAX, "come to pick up at the station" by the facsimile information (that is, character pattern) is transmitted. If the designated terminal TE is a personal computer PC, the character code “Welcome to the station” is sent.

Thereafter, the switching center MSC ₁ sends a notification indicating the completion of service to the mobile station MS via the control channel if necessary. As a result, the mobile station MS generates a signal sound indicating that the service is completed. It is convenient for the subscriber to know that the service has been performed as specified by listening to the signal sound that the service has been completed. Thereafter, the switching center MSC ₁ notifies the mobile station MS of the completion of registration, thereby ending the location registration process.

After the location registration is performed in step S12, the exchange MSC ₁ may unconditionally notify the mobile station MS of the location registration completion. This shortens the time during which the mobile station MS holds the control channel. After that, if it is necessary to give a service start notification, service non-notification, service completion notification, etc.,
Since the switching center MSC ₁ knows that the mobile station MS is in the zone Z ₂ , it notifies the fact separately via the control channel of the zone Z ₂ .

Further, in the above embodiment, the notification that the service is unavailable is transmitted if there is no response from the terminal TE within the predetermined time, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, instead of sending the notification that the service is not possible suddenly, the notification that the service is redialed may be sent. It is convenient for the subscriber to know the progress of the message notification service by hearing the signal sound indicating the redial notification. Then, for example, if the terminal TE does not respond even if the redialing is made twice, the exchange MSC ₁ notifies that the service is not possible.

Further, although the above-mentioned one application example has been concretely described, this embodiment is also effective when applied to a personal handyphone system or the like. Alternatively, for example, when a family goes out to a downtown area or an exhibition site, a base station number is set everywhere in the downtown area or the venue. At the same time, the area name corresponding to each base station number is registered in the message. The notification destination terminal is, for example, a pager. Give mobile devices MS to children and old people, and parents carry pagers. In this way, parents can easily grasp the area where their children and old people are, even if their families take different actions.

In the second embodiment, the memory 32 and the service control unit 31 are integrated in the service center 30, and the service center 30 is connected to the mobile communication system via the leased line 100 ₁ or the subscriber line 100 ₂ . In FIG. 3, the home memory station HLR _A in this case has the "roaming state" in addition to the "subscriber authentication key", "current position" in the area referred to by the subscriber number MSN (or mobile station number MSI) of the mobile station MS. , Normal roaming destination network, etc. are recorded.

You can receive basic services.

Further, in addition to the above, the home memory station HLR _A and the Roman memory station VLR _B in this case store the “service flag” and the “subscriber number / station number” of the service center 30. Then, each information after the “personal identification number” is stored in the memory 32 of the service center 30. According to the second embodiment, the memory load of the home memory station HLR is significantly reduced as compared with the first embodiment. on the other hand,
Since the storage capacity of the memory 32 of the service center 30 is not limited, a large number of service information of a large number of subscribers can be accommodated at once.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart of service information registration processing of the second embodiment. For example, a subscriber in the zone Z _12A receives a special number (1XY) from the mobile station MS + instruction type (Δ =
Dial (Register). The exchange MSC _A2 analyzes the instruction type and inquires of the home memory station HLR _A that the request is a registration request. Home memory station HLR _A has subscriber number M
The registration area is indexed from the SN, and it is checked whether or not “service flag” = 1 corresponding to the special number XY. When "service flag" = 1, the subscriber number of the service center 30 is returned to the exchange MSC _A2 together with the information indicating that the service is available. If "service flag" = 0, information indicating that service is not possible is returned.

In step S21, the exchange MSC _A2 disconnects the call of the mobile station MS when the service is unavailable.
If the service is available, the call is connected to the service center 30. In response to this, the service control unit 31 of the service center 30 stores the memory 32 from the subscriber number MSN of the mobile station MS.
The registration area is identified and the password is requested by voice guidance. The voice guidance is transmitted to the mobile station MS via the exchange MSC _A2 . The subscriber inputs the personal identification number from the mobile station MS. Hereinafter, the information of the notified party is input in the same manner as in the case of FIG.

When the subscriber registers the necessary information as described above and then presses the end key (for example, the # key), the service control unit 31 registers a series of designated information in the memory 32. Then, the mobile station MS or the service control unit 31 disconnects the call. Needless to say, the registration information can be changed and the service can be started / stopped at the service center 30.

One application example of the second embodiment is an automobile rally competition over a wide range. Check points CP _{1 to} CP ₃ are set up everywhere on the rally course 200, and the secretariat 2
The service center 30 automatically gives a passage notification to 0.
The registration information about the mobile station MS is “base station number (1)” = BS _1A “service set (1)” = “notification destination (1), message (1)” “base station number (2)” = BS _11A "Service set (2)" = "Notification destination (1), message (2)""Base station number (3)" = BS _2B "Service set (3)" = "Notification destination (1), message (3)""Notification destination (1)" = "044-1234-5679-"
3 "(that is, the personal computer 21 of the secretariat 20)
Subscriber number) "Message (1)" = "CP ₁ passed""Message(2)" = "CP ₂ passed""Message(3)" = "CP ₂ passed".

Each participant in the rally performs the same registration as above regarding the mobile device of the rally before the start of the rally. Secretariat 20
Can contact the service center 30 in advance to confirm the registration information of the rally participant. Since the personal computer 21 of the secretariat 20 is equipped with the mobile device wireless device 22, the personal computer 21 can be located at any point of the start, the middle or the end of the rally.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart of the location registration process of the second embodiment. When the mobile unit MS shifts from the zone Z _3A to Z _1A, it detects a zone change in step S11, seizes the control channel of the base station BS _1A , and makes a position registration request to the exchange MSC _A1 . The switching center MSC _A1 which has received the notification notifies the home memory station HLR _A of the location registration request in the usual manner, and the home memory station HLR _A which has received the notification performs location registration of the mobile station MS in step S32. Step S33
Then, it is determined whether or not “service flag” = 1 for the mobile station MS. If the "service flag" is not "1", the fact that the location registration is completed is returned to the exchange MSC _A1 . In this case, however, since the "service flag" is "1", the location registration is completed together with the predetermined information (" Subscriber number / station number ”) is notified to the exchange MSC _A1 .

The exchange MSC _A1 which receives this receives the leased line 10
A service request relating to the mobile station MS is issued to the service center 30 via 0 ₁ . Alternatively, a service request is made by calling the service center 30 via the subscriber line 100 ₂ . In the service center 30, the service control unit 31 determines the registration area from the subscriber number MSN of the mobile station MS, and the service is in progress in step S34 (that is, "start / stop" =
Check whether it is a start). In this example, since the service is in progress, it is further checked in step S35 whether or not there is a zone match. In this example, since a match is obtained, the service control unit 3
If necessary, 1 sends a notice to the effect that the service will be started to the exchange MSC _A1 . The switching center MSC _A1 sends a notification of service start to the mobile station MS via the control channel on hold. As a result, the mobile station MS generates a signal sound indicating that the service has started. This makes it convenient for the navigator to guess that it has passed CP ₁ .

The service control unit 31 subsequently dials the terminal TE (personal computer 21) of the notification destination. In step S36, the terminal TE waits for a response. When there is a response within a predetermined time, the service control unit 31 transmits "CP ₁ pass" by the character code. After that, the service control unit 31, if necessary, exchange MSC _A1
Send a notification to the effect that the service is completed. Exchange MSC _A1
Sends a notification of service completion to the mobile station MS via the control channel. This gives the navigator confidence in the record of CP ₁ passage and is convenient. Thereafter, the service control unit 31 notifies the fact of the registration completion to the switching center MSC _A1, switching center MSC _A1 notifies the fact of the registration completion to the mobile station MS.
This completes the location registration process.

On the other hand, the personal computer of the secretariat 20

According to the second embodiment, since the dedicated service center 30 is provided, it is possible to easily plan, register, and execute services of various modes triggered by the location registration of the mobile device. For example, it is possible to easily realize orienteering such as passing through specific checkpoints in cities and suburbs in order. Moreover, since a large number of checkpoints can be set on the desk and the checkpoint passage and message information associated therewith are concentrated on a predetermined terminal 21, it is possible to perform various inspections without checking manipulating the checkpoint passage existence and counting. You can efficiently plan and operate various games.

Incidentally, also in the second embodiment, step S3
If the location registration is performed in step 2, the fact that the location registration is completed may be unconditionally returned to the mobile station MS.
