The Customer Oriented Information System (COIS) refers to a database and a network connecting terminals such as distributors and customer centers.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for updating an additional service using a single expert service according to the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the supplementary service update signal generator sends an update signal to the supplementary service update message store (201), the supplementary service update message store sends the corresponding update SMS message to the message center (202), and the message center. Transmits the corresponding updated SMS message to the terminal through the base station control center, the mobile switching center and the base station (203, 204), and the terminal receives the acknowledgment message through the base station, the mobile switching center and the base station control center. Send to the message center (205, 206).

Meanwhile, Table 1 below shows the assigned values of the SMS communication service identifiers defined in IS-41, and a predetermined special communication service identifier value is required for the SMS message for additional service update, which is reserved. You can use the value.

division Contents Service recognizer 0 = Not used 1 = Reserved 2-495 = Reserved 4096 for IS-41 = For AMPS Supplementary Service (CMT-91) 4097 = CDMA Paging Service (CPT-637) 4098 = CDMA Message Service (CMT-637) 4099 = CDMA VMS Notification (VMN-637) 4100-32512 = Reserved for AS-4132513 = TDMA Cellular Messaging Teleservice32514-32639 = Reserved for assignment by this Interim Standard for TDMA MS-based SMEs.32768-49151 = Reserved for node specific teleservices..49152 -655535 = Reserved for carrier specific teleservices ..

Meanwhile, Tables 2 and 3 below show the structure of an SMS message actually used for updating a broadcast information service, and Table 2 shows an example of user data values for channel registration / deletion. , (Table 3) shows an example of the user data value for service category activation / deactivation, T in (Table 2) represents Tab (0x09), "" in Table 2 and (Table 3) is the carriage return ( Carrige Return) (0x0D).

Communication service identifier User data 65500 (Register Channel) 4105 T Kanadara 4106 T Mavasa 65501 (Delete channel) 4105 `` 4106 ''

Communication service identifier User data 65502 (channel active) 4097 `` 4098 '' 65503 (channel disabled) 4097 `` 4098 ''

The additional service update message is formed in the same form as the general SMS message in IS-637. In the general SMS message, the different parts for the additional service update message are the communication service identifier value and the user data part.

The supplementary service update message required for the broadcast information service is distinguished by 65500, 65501, 65502, and 65503 of the reserved for carrier specific teleservice. In the broadcast information service, it is a channel for transmitting paid information called a general channel.

The general channel list of the broadcast information service is already stored and displayed in the user's terminal, but information transmitted through this channel cannot be received. In order to receive the information of this channel, you must subscribe to a paid service. When you subscribe to a paid service, you must make it possible for the service provider to receive the channel. In this case, a broadcast channel activation message is used, and the structure of the activation message has a form of a channel activation message shown in Table 3. The service identifier value is 65502, and the channel service category number to be activated is transmitted in the field of the user data. In contrast, the message concept is the deactivation message, and the message structure is the same as the activation message except that the communication service identification value is 65503.

Also, if the paid service subscription is terminated, the service provider should be prevented from receiving the corresponding channel, and the deactivation message is used for this purpose.

Upon subscription or termination of the paid service, the contents are delivered to the home location register and the single professional service server through the customer information management system.In this case, the activation message or the deactivation message is transmitted to the terminal according to the signal, and the terminal transmits the message. Analyze and execute the routine.

Another kind of update is a message to increase the number (number) of channels or to delete unnecessary channels. The channel registration message is used when an additional broadcast channel other than the channel provided from the beginning is required. The communication service identifier value is 65500, and the service category value and channel name (Table 2) and Send the message of the single expert service in the format shown in (Table 3).

The channel delete message is used to delete an unnecessary general channel. The communication service identifier value is set to 65501, and a message including the service category value used for channel discrimination is transmitted to the user data field. In this case, the system operator transmits a channel registration or deletion message to a user who subscribes to the broadcasting information service in a part of the monolithic service system that stores the corresponding message (for example, a monolithic service server or a terminal that can access the monolithic service server). This message is delivered to the terminal through a mobile switching center, base station, etc., and the terminal executes the routine to create a new channel that can be received or delete a channel that is already being received.

When the terminal receives the additional service update message, the terminal distinguishes what role the message plays according to the communication service identifier, and executes the corresponding routine to take an action determined by the standard. If you receive the message with the communication service identifier of 65500 in Table 2, identify the service category number to distinguish the channel from the user data area and 'Kanadara' to be used as the channel name, and then register the channel on the terminal screen. If a broadcast message is transmitted to a channel made of a service category 4105, the terminal can receive the message. Multiple service categories and channel names can be transmitted in one message.

In addition, when the terminal receives a channel activation message having a communication service identifier of 65502, the terminal may receive a general broadcast channel. When this message is sent from the network when subscribing to a paid service, the service category values in the user data field are separated to receive the broadcast message sent to the channel corresponding to each service category. You will be able to receive normal broadcast channels.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, and the above-described embodiments and accompanying It is not limited to the drawing.

As described above, the present invention provides a service provider by performing an additional service update using SMS without directly downloading the terminal software to a DM (Dignostic Moniter) port when the method and whether the additional service is provided in the mobile communication network are changed. Innovative cost savings for handset software upgrades can be achieved, and subscribers do not have to visit customer centers, increasing convenience, and improving the flexibility of changing supplementary services. It is effective to provide.
