{Method for controlling wireless auto registering}

The present invention relates to a wireless automatic registration control method, and more particularly, to easily register and service a personal mobile terminal over an Internet Protocol (IP) using a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). The present invention relates to a wireless automatic registration control method.

Recently, an over-the-air activation system (OTA) has been provided to allow a predetermined terminal subscriber who is not registered to the service to receive service subscription and registration using a wireless network. The wireless automatic registration system can be used to select and change the ring tone according to the subscriber's taste, or even when the mobile communication terminal is opened, the terminal can be opened using the system without going directly to the mobile communication agency.

1 is a configuration diagram of a general wireless automatic registration system. As shown in FIG. 1, an Over The Air Activation Function (OTAF) is a subscriber terminal 20 which is portable for subscribers and executes communication based on mobility. And a base station 22 which transmits / receives call processing data to and from the subscriber station 20 and performs transmission / reception of radio signals and conversion and encryption / decryption of communication protocols for each subscriber station, and the base station. A base station controller 24 that performs functions related to allocation control of the communication channel to the subscriber station 20, determination of handoff, etc., and management of the terminal 22; and a predetermined protocol specification with the base station controller 24; The mobile communication exchanger 26 is interfaced with the mobile communication exchanger 26, and the mobile communication exchanger 26 is interfaced with the SS7 protocol and transmitted from the subscriber station 20. A wireless automatic registration control unit 10 for processing a service or for processing a predetermined service transmitted through a private exchange 28 and a customer center (CSC) 30 that are R2 interfaced with the mobile communication exchange 26; Including a wireless automatic registration processing unit 10 and a subscriber information processor (HLR) for storing and managing subscriber parameters and location information, and a TCP / IP interface, and a network management unit (NMS; Network Management System) for managing the communication network. It is composed.

That is, the wireless automatic registration control unit 10 according to the above configuration has the 'SMDPP' function defined in the mobile communication switch 26 and the IS-41, and the 'OTAREQ' function defined in the IS-725 with the subscriber information processor 36. By performing a predetermined function through the function, the wireless automatic registration control unit 10 is essentially required for the N0.7 signaling method of the wireless network interface. In addition, the subscriber station 20 transmits and receives a data burst message defined in the IS-683 in order to download predetermined information with the support of the IS-683.

Referring to the process of performing the service subscription and registration by the wireless automatic registration system configured as described as follows.

First, when the user purchases the subscriber terminal 20, enters the access number of the specific mobile service provider and operates the call button (step 40), the user operates the base station 22 and the base station controller 24 according to the operation operation. The generated call is transmitted to the mobile switching center 26.

At this time, if the subscriber station 20 that generated the call is not registered, the mobile communication exchange 26 allocates a token ring network (TRN) to the customer center 30 to transmit to the customer center 30, and the counselor and voice call. (Step 42).

Subsequently, the wireless automatic registration control unit 10 transmits TRN information from the mobile communication switch 20 to the wireless automatic registration processing unit 10 in a state in which the customer center 12 enables routing through the subscriber station 20. (Step 44), in order to assign a telephone number to the subscriber station 20, a connection connection is performed with the subscriber station 20, and after the connection connection, the subscriber station 20 has the subscriber station 20; The information is transmitted to the customer center 30.

Subsequently, the customer center 30 transmits a service programming code (SPC) value to the corresponding subscriber terminal through the wireless automatic registration control unit 10 for the subscriber terminal requesting service registration, and transmits the transmitted data. The subscriber station is stored in a predetermined memory so that other service providers or organizations cannot use the subscriber station (step 46) (step 48).

After the SPC authentication procedure is performed, a data upload and a new phone number for the subscriber terminal 20 are allocated. When the user of the subscriber terminal 20 transmits information on the terminal to the customer center 30, After checking the information with the counselor directly, the new phone number will be assigned.

When the phone number is assigned, the SSD is updated between the authentication center and the subscriber terminal to perform authentication. When the authentication process is completed, the phone number is registered in the subscriber information processor 36 (step 50). .

When the telephone number is registered, the telephone number and other network information are actually transmitted to the subscriber terminal 20 through a data download process. When the process is completed, the transmitted telephone number and network information are stored in memory. To the camera (step 52, step 54, step 56, and step 58).

In addition, if the process is successful, the user of the subscriber station 20 can use the mobile communication service by turning off the power of the subscriber station (20).

However, the wireless automatic registration system must support a radio network interface based on the N0.7 signaling method, and there is a problem in that system scalability is deteriorated because it is dependent on the network.

In addition, in the process of performing the function of the wireless registration system with an interface with MSC, HLR / AuC, and CSC of the wireless network, since the system having the interface does not have many requirements, the service procedure is complicated and takes time to perform. But there was another problem that could not be performed normally.

In addition, other services that cannot support the newly added services such as OTASD service for downloading executable programs to subscriber terminal, OTAMD service for diagnosing the current status and error of subscriber terminal, etc. according to user's request. There was a problem.

In addition, the number of users using the electronic commerce (EC), electronic mail, cyber financial transactions, etc. using the subscriber terminal is rapidly increasing, there is a problem that the security of the wireless interface transmission is not achieved under the wireless automatic registration system.

The present invention was created to solve the above problems, and is provided with the Internet Protocol (IP) network while being provided with various additional services provided by the WAP and wireless automatic to provide various interfaces to the user through the WAP gateway.

Meanwhile, the service subscription and registration procedure of the subscriber station among the wireless automatic registration service will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

Here, in describing the present embodiment, the same parts as in the prior art will be omitted.

First, the user purchases the subscriber terminal 110 and enters the access number of the specific mobile service provider to establish a voice call with the counselor (step 300-step 302).

When connected to the counselor, the user of the subscriber terminal 110 inputs a 4-digit password and a desired telephone number through a call with an agent, and the customer center transmits new terminal information about the terminal user to the server 130. (Step 304-step 306). In this case, the four-digit password is used by the service provider to allow the subscriber station 110 to authenticate the server 130, and the four-digit password together with the contents of the HTTP protocol from the subscriber station 110 to the WAP gateway 120. The WAP gateway 120 is interfaced with the WPS 100 via HTTP including the SSL layer and transmitted.
