Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nickname service system and a method for a nickname service in a mobile communication network having a function of preventing personal information from being exposed.

The present invention relates to a nickname (CNAP) service in a mobile communication network. More particularly, the present invention relates to a nickname (CNAP) service in a mobile communication network, and more particularly, to provide a nickname service for a caller registered in an address book, To a nickname service system and a method in a mobile communication network having a function of preventing personal information from being exposed to an unspecified recipient.

In general, with the development of wired / wireless communication technology, the penetration rate of wired / wireless telephones is increasing day by day. Along with the high penetration rate of wired / wireless terminals, the subscriber can try to communicate with a desired party anytime and anywhere, and can use various services such as wireless Internet using the wireless terminal.

However, the spread of wired and wireless terminals is accompanied with problems such as the burden of communication charges due to the indiscreet use of the service, mischief using the anonymity, phone calls of violence and the like. Particularly, a subscriber who receives a prank call or the like has a problem that the user feels stress, discomfort, and fear.

For this purpose, a caller information display service has already been provided, and the caller information display service displays a name and a telephone number of the caller before the call is started on the terminal of the called party. On the other hand, in recent years, in addition to the caller information display service, a service for providing the nickname of the caller has been activated. The above-described caller's nickname service is a so-called lettering service that allows a user to display his / her name, nickname, specific phrase, etc., which is designated in advance, in a mobile communication terminal (or a wired phone) .

Such a caller's nickname display service allows a caller to express his / her personality through a nickname designated by the caller. In particular, the caller can confirm the call from whom the caller is displayed on the display, . Hereinafter, a system structure of the conventional caller nickname service will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown, the nickname service system includes a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 300, a Short Message Service Center (SMSC) 500, and a Telephony & IP Integration System (TIIS) 600. When the MSC 300 receives a transmission request for an SMS message from the subscriber stations 100 and 900 subscribing to the SMS nickname service through the base station 200, the MSC 300 requests the SMSC 500 for the nickname processing of the SMS message .

When the TIIS 600 receives a request for the nickname of the terminal from the SMSC 500, the TIIS 600 reads the nickname information corresponding to the terminal and transmits the read nickname information to the SMSC 500 send. The nickname is set or stored in the TIIS 600 by the subscriber. A user of the terminal 100 or 900 accesses the WAP server 700 or the web server 700 to set up a nickname or set a nickname of the nickname service.

The subscriber can set at least one nickname. The nickname includes at least one of a sentence, a text, and a symbol. In addition, the subscriber sets a nickname for each recipient or a time zone, and the TIIS 600 stores such setting information. The TIIS 600 subscribes to the nickname service, and when the subscriber does not set a nickname, the mobile terminal 500 transmits a predetermined basic nickname information, for example, "Happy Day!" As the nickname information of the subscriber to the SMSC 500 .

The SMSC 500 determines whether the SMS message is subject to the nickname processing based on the SMS message and the predetermined nickname processing condition when receiving the SMS nickname processing request from the MSC 300, In the case of the object to be nicked, the TIIS 600 requests the nickname of the terminal 100. When the SMSC 500 receives the nickname information of the terminals 100 and 900 from the TIIS 600 according to the request, the SMSC 500 generates an SMS nickname message based on the nickname information and the SMS message, Transmits a nickname message to the called party (900).

However, as described above, since the nickname information applied to the nickname service can be set according to personal preferences based on personal names used between acquaintances, a nickname may be displayed to an unspecified recipient due to an originating error of the sender Problems arise. This leads to the inconvenience of the caller due to exposure of personal information, and it is urgent to construct a system that can provide the nickname information according to the caller's will.

After the online registration process is completed by the user, the service can be used after downloading the address book automatic storage program to the terminal and setting the password and automatic storage day and time necessary for the service use.

Also, the nickname service provided in the present invention represents a TIIS (Telephony & Integration System) as a system for storing a designated name or a nickname for each number, and operates with a server for providing the above-mentioned online address book service. The TIIS is used to provide additional services used in the No. 7 network, and is processed in an IP network through a protocol conversion device called a SG (Signaling Gateway). Therefore, the TIIS applied in the present invention is only one embodiment. In addition to the CCS (Common Channel Signaling) No. 7, a system capable of providing a nickname service in a separate common signaling system can be applied to be.

 FIG. 2 illustrates a nickname service system in a mobile communication network having a function of preventing personal information disclosure according to the present invention by interacting with a nickname service system and an online address book service system.

As shown in the figure, the present invention includes a synchronous and asynchronous wireless communication system for controlling access to a communication call of a mobile communication terminal, wherein the home location register (HLR) of the wireless communication system includes an online address book server The nickname information is read from the nickname server 203 according to the determination result, and the read nickname information is transferred to the called terminal. Although the nickname server 203 is collectively referred to as a TIIS (Telephony & Integration System) according to an embodiment of the present invention, the nickname server 203 may not be limited to TIIS.

Meanwhile, the communication call includes a call message and a text message call. When the HLR connects to a text message call, the nickname information is transmitted through the SMS message server 205.

The synchronous radio communication system includes a base transceiver station (BTS), a base transceiver station controller (BSC), a caller exchange (MSC_O), and a receiver exchange (MSC_T) To the wireless communication system and manages the base station. In addition, the exchange MSC_O and MSC_T are connected to the base station controller (BSC) to perform call setup and release functions of the mobile communication terminal, perform various functions related to the call processing and the supplementary service, .

Meanwhile, the asynchronous wireless communication system includes a base station transmitter (Node-B) and a base station controller (RNC (Radio Network Controller) to process a connection request of a mobile communication terminal and perform a handoff and a radio resource management ), And the present invention can be applied to a synchronous and asynchronous wireless communication system.

A base station transmitter (Node-B) applied in an asynchronous wireless communication system receives a clip transmission request signal from a mobile communication terminal through a traffic channel of a signal channel and transmits it to the base station controller (RNC). In addition, the base station controller RNC controls the base station transmitter Node-B, allocates and cancels radio channels for the mobile communication terminal, controls transmission power of the mobile communication terminal and the base station transmitter Node-B, Soft handoff and hard handoff.

Meanwhile, a home location register (HLR) interworking with the synchronous wireless communication system stores information of a subscriber of a mobile communication terminal, location information, supplementary service information, and the like, and is provided with exchanges (MSC_O, MSC_T) And to perform functions related to call processing and additional services and to control services.

The nickname server 203 for providing the nickname service may be composed of characters, symbols, images such as characters, or a combination thereof. Accordingly, in storing the nickname information into the nickname server 203, the user may divide the nickname information into a plurality of groups including at least one called party, and specify different nicknames for each of the called party groups. As already mentioned above, the pet name service application can apply for the nickname service through the wired or wireless Internet, and can designate a plurality of nickname information for each group.

Also, the nicking service provided in the present invention can provide services in different ways depending on whether the calling terminal is a wireless terminal or a wired terminal, and the called terminal is a wireless terminal or a wired terminal.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a main operation of a nickname service system interworking with an online address book server according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, in step S301, the caller subscribes to the nickname service and registers any nickname information. The caller connects to the nickname server 203 via the synchronous, asynchronous mobile communication system or the public switched telephone network using the wireless terminal 10 or the wired terminal 50 for registration of the nickname service.

The synchronous mobile communication system performs a connection with the nickname server 203 through a mobile communication system including a base transceiver station (BTS), a base station controller (BSC), a caller exchange (MSC_O), and a receiver exchange (MSC_T). That is, the MSC_O and MSC_T are connected to the base station controller (BSC) to perform call setup of the mobile communication terminal and receive services supported by the nickname server 203.

On the other hand, the asynchronous mobile communication system is connected to a radio access network (RAN) including a Node-B and a RNC (Radio Network Controller), and then the MSC_O, MSC_T, And connects to the nickname server 203 via the Internet. The nickname server 203 can provide the corresponding service to the mobile communication terminal currently connected to the asynchronous mobile communication system.

The nickname server 203 receives new information (name, terminal number, etc.) of a subscriber who wishes to use the nickname service, stores it in the user DB, receives nicknames from subscribers who want to use the nickname service, .

The subscriber can designate different nicknames for each recipient, group the recipients to include at least one recipient, and designate a desired nickname for each group. In addition, nicknames consist of characters, symbols, as well as images like characters, or a combination thereof.

Thereafter, the flow advances to step S303, where the caller subscribes to the online address book service. The online address book service accesses a corresponding site through wired / wireless Internet and performs service registration. The online address book service can receive a service application via the wired / wireless Internet. When applying for the online address book service, the caller registers the caller terminal information and sets the time for upgrading the online address book. According to the registration of the online address book service, information such as phone number information stored in the caller's mobile communication terminal, such as a terminal phone number and a called party name, is stored in the online address book server 201.

After completing registration of the nickname service and registration of the online address book service, the caller makes a voice call for a call with an arbitrary called party in step S305. In step S307, the home location register (HLR) recognizes the terminal information and the called number information provided from the calling terminal. The home location register (HLR) provides the called party number information to the online address book server 201 and requests that the called party number information exists or is registered in the online address book. The online address book server 201 performs an address book search for the called party number information provided from the home location register (HLR) in response to a request from the home location register (HLR).

If the destination address information is not registered in the online address book server 201 in step S309, for example, the calling party may erroneously dial the calling party number, or the calling party may receive the calling number or the unrecognized number The number information is not registered in the online address book server 201 and the HLR receives the notification of the unregistered state from the online address book server 201. [

The home location register (HLR) is connected to the MSC_T, the BSC and the BTS of the synchronous mobile communication system or to the base station transmitter (Node-B) and the base station controller (BSC) of the asynchronous mobile communication system RNC (Radio Network Controller)) and connects the call with the called terminal. At this time, since the home location register (HLR) does not have the nickname information provided from the online address book server 201, only the voice call connection is performed but the nickname information is not provided.

On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S307, the HLR enters the step S311, and the home location register (HLR) instructs the nickname server 203 to read the nickname information. To this end, the home location register (HLR) provides the called number information to the nickname server 203. The nickname server 203 extracts nickname information for each called party or called party group from the database based on the called party number information. The nickname information extracted from the nickname server 203 is provided to the home location register (HLR).

In step S313, the home location register (HLR) controls access to the voice call through the wireless communication system and provides the nickname information provided from the nickname server 203 to the called terminal. That is, the home location register (HLR) extracts the caller exchange MSC_T as the caller-side switching center, and then transmits the call to the called terminal corresponding to the called party number information through the base station controller (BSC) Control the connection. Then, the terminal transmits the nickname information read out to the called terminal. The nickname information may be textual information or graphical information as already described.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a procedure of providing a nickname service for sending a short message according to another embodiment of the present invention. As in the above-described process, the sender subscribes to the nickname service and registers any nickname information through step S401. In step S403, the caller subscribes to the online address book service.

In this manner, the originator requests to send a short message as in step S405, assuming that the sender registers in the nickname service and the address book service. The short message includes a long message, color mail and the like. The short message transmission by the sender terminal is performed by the synchronous mobile communication system, that is, the originating signal is transmitted from the base station (BTS), the base station controller (BSC) To the home location register (HLR). Of course, when the asynchronous mobile communication system is applied in the present invention, the short message transmission will be provided to the HLR through the Node-B and the RNC (Radio Network Controller).

That is, when the calling terminal requests the transmission of a message such as a short message, a long message, or a color mail to an arbitrary recipient terminal, the HLR proceeds to step S407, , And provides the called number information. In step S409, the SMS server 205 queries the online address book server 201 to inquire whether the corresponding call number information is registered.

In step S411, the online address book server 201 determines whether the called number information is registered in the database, in response to the inquiry of the short message server 205. If the called number information is not registered in the online address book server 201, the online address book server 201 provides the short message server 205 with a null signal indicating an unregistered state. In response, the SMS server 205 provides a short SMS message that does not include the nickname information to the recipient terminal.

On the other hand, if the called party number information is registered in the online address book server 201 as in step S413, the online address book server 201 notifies the short message server 205 of the registration status. The short message server 205 proceeds to step S415 and requests the nickname server 203 to search the nickname information based on the currently received called number information. As described above, the nickname server 203 extracts nickname information corresponding to the called party number or group by the called party number information, and provides the extracted nickname information to the short message server 205. In step S417, the short message server 205 transmits the text message information provided from the calling terminal and the nickname information corresponding to the called number information to the called terminal.

As described above, the nickname service system and method in the mobile communication network according to the present invention not only induces the quality improvement of the service by linking the nickname service and the online address book service, but also can create the additional service, It is perceived that the value of use is sufficient.
