In the present invention, the calling international number is a receiving number or international calling service number + country code + calling terminal including a country code + calling terminal number ("0" is deleted at the beginning) transmitted according to an international call connection request signal connected from abroad. Include a reception number, including a phone number.

In the present specification, an international calling number including a country code will be described as a representative example for convenience of understanding. However, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited thereto and includes all international calling numbers such as international calling numbers including international calling service provider numbers.

First, an international call number management system will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

1 is a block diagram for explaining an international dialing number management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the international calling number management system may include a home network 110, a roaming network 120, an international circuit 130, a calling terminal 152, and a called terminal 151.

The home network 110 refers to a mobile communication network or a mobile communication network system in which the terminating terminal 120 performs wireless communication, and the roaming network 120 is a roaming mobile communication terminal 190 wirelessly communicating. Means a mobile communication network or a mobile communication network system.

In the present specification, a case of roaming of a mobile communication terminal is described as an example, but includes all cases in which a domestic terminal attempts to make a call connection from one country to another country, such as an international call received from overseas such as the United States. However, in the present specification, a mobile communication terminal roams for convenience of understanding and requests a call connection from a foreign country to a domestic mobile communication terminal, that is, a case of making a call as a main example, but is not limited thereto. Do.

The home network 110 includes not only a wide code division multiple access (WCDMA) network but also all wired and wireless communication networks capable of international call service. Hereinafter, the WCDMA network will be described as an example.

A home network 110 (eg, a WCDMA network) providing an international call service according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a radio base station (RTS), a radio control station (RNC), or SGSN (Serving). GPRS Support Node (GRSN) and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN).

In addition, the home network 110 (for example, WCDMA network) is the location of the International Roaming Gateway System (IRGS) and mobile network subscribers to perform protocol conversion between networks using different protocols to exchange data between different networks. It may include a Home Location Register (HLR), which is a kind of database that stores information.

Since the WCDMA network is a known technology, detailed descriptions are omitted to clarify the gist of the present invention.

The roaming network 120 may also include the same mobile communication network configuration as the home network 110. However, in some cases, the roaming network 120 may have a different mobile communication network configuration than the home network 110 (for example, the home network 110 and 100 are WCDMA networks and the roaming network 120 and 170 are It may also be the case of a GSM (Global System for Mobile Telecommunication) network Since the apparatus and system for performing the functions described above are also included, it is assumed below that the roaming network 120 also has the same name as the home network 110. .

All signals and data such as a call connection request signal to be received from the home network 110 pass through the IPGS to the home network 110 through the international circuit 130 installed in the middle of the home network 110 and the roaming network 120 in a circuit format. Is sent. Therefore, when the negotiation about the roaming service is made between the home network 110 and the roaming network 120, all signals and data of the home network 110 may be transmitted to the roaming network 120.

Here, in the present specification, the roaming network 120 is taken as an example, and the present invention will be described as described above, but may include all international calls such as overseas call connection signals received in Korea.

In addition, not only the data is transmitted between the home network 110 and the roaming network 120 through the international circuit 130 in a circuit format, but also the home network 110 and the roaming network via an IP (Internet Protocol) network in a packet data format. Of course, signals and data may be transmitted between the 120.

Hereinafter, it is assumed that the home network 110 is a domestic mobile communication network and the roaming network 120 is an overseas mobile communication network, and the called terminal 151 belonging to the home network 110 in the calling terminal 152 belonging to the roaming network 120. An example of making a call to) will be described.

The international calling number management apparatus 140 changes the calling number received from the roaming network 120 according to the first embodiment of the present invention and transmits the calling number to the called terminal 151 of the home network 110.

More specifically, the part corresponding to the country code may be deleted from the received calling number. In addition, it is possible to change the phone number of the calling terminal 152 by adding “0” at the beginning of the deleted calling number and transmit it to the called terminal 151.

Here, the received calling number may be formed in the form of a country code + calling terminal 152 phone number as an international calling number.

For example, when the call is from Japan, the country code 81 may be additionally described in the telephone number of the calling terminal 152, such as 81 + XXXXXXXXX.

In this case, the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 may be combined with the country code except for the first "0" of the calling terminal 152.

Therefore, the international calling number management apparatus 140 deletes the number of the part determined as the country code and adds "0" to the front, thereby extracting only the phone number of the calling terminal 152 and transmitting it to the called terminal 151. Can be.

In addition, the international calling number management apparatus 140 may further transmit the country name information of the called country to the called terminal 151 using the country code table 610.

For example, assuming that a call is made in the United States, the international calling number management device 140 may extract the country code 1. Using the extracted country code and country code table 610, the international calling number management device 140 may change the country code information to the country name information of "US" and transmit it to the called terminal 151.

Thus, in the case of a telephone call from the United States, the called terminal 151 may receive the number "US + 161231234" instead of "1 + 161231234".

Here, the country code table 610 is a table in which the country name information and the country code correspond one to one. This will be described in detail by way of example in the description of FIG. 6.

As another example, suppose that the international calling number further includes an international telephone operator number.

If the call is from the United States, it may be 001 + 1 + 161231234 ". In this case, the international calling number may further include the international telephone operator number" 001 "instead of the country code at the beginning.

The international calling number management apparatus 140 may change the country name information of “US” through the international telephone operator number and transmit the same to the called terminal 151.

Therefore, in the case of a call from the United States, the called terminal 151 may receive the number information "US + 161231234".

In this case, the international telephone operator number may be further included in the country code table 610, and may be stored as a separate international telephone operator number table.

Although the international calling number management device 140 has been described as being implemented by being connected to the home network 110, it may be implemented by being connected to the international line network 130 or by being connected to the roaming network 120. It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited thereto.

In the description of Figure 2 will be described in more detail.

The terminal is a PC (Personal Computer), PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), cellular phone, PCS (Personal Communication Service) phone, Hand-Held PC (GSM), Global System for Mobile (GSM) phone, WCDMA phone, CDMA- 2000 phones, MBS (Mobile Broad and System) phones, and the like. Here, MBS phone refers to a mobile phone to be used in the fourth generation system currently being discussed. Hereinafter, a mobile terminal will be described as an example. However, as described above, the present invention can be equally applied to all terminals capable of international call service and call number display service.

The called terminal 151 is a terminal belonging to the home network 110, the originating terminal 152 is a terminal belonging to the roaming network 120 as an example, as described above. However, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be applied to all terminals using the international call service as described above.

The called terminal 151 changes the received international calling number according to the second embodiment of the present invention and displays it as the calling terminal 152 number. More specifically, after extracting the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 from the received international calling number to generate change information, the international calling number is updated with the generated change information and displayed on the terminal.

In this case, the extraction of the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 may be performed by deleting a portion corresponding to the country code and adding "0" to the beginning of the remaining portion.

This is similar to the process performed in the international call number management device 140 above.

In addition, the called terminal 151 changes the received international calling number to the country name information and the calling terminal 152 phone number by using the stored country code table 610 similarly to the international calling number managing device 140. can do.

In addition, the called terminal 151 may compare the extracted telephone number of the calling terminal 152 with the stored telephone number list and display the calling party information according to the corresponding number. Here, the caller information may include a name, business name, business type and address.

For example, a user who stores the number 01012231234 as "duck" in the phone book in the terminal and is stored as "duck" in the called terminal attempts to make an international call in Japan and makes an international call from Japan as the called terminal. Assume a case where an international caller ID of " 81 + 101231234 "

In this case, the called terminal 151 may extract the country code "81" and the calling terminal 152 telephone number "0101231235" from the international calling number.

Here, the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 may be generated through a number except the extracted country code as described above.

For example, when a user using a domestic telecommunications company makes a call from a foreign country through a roaming service, the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 may be generated by adding "0" in front of the part except for the country code. have.

The extracted country code may be displayed instead of the country name information "Japan" using the stored country code table 610.

In addition, similar to the above-described operation of the international dialing number management device 140, the called terminal 151 generates the country name information through the international telephone service provider number to display the country name together with the phone number of the calling terminal 152. I can display it.

In addition, the called terminal 151 may display the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 by calling party information such as a name using the stored telephone number list.

Therefore, the called terminal 151 may display the received "81 + 101231234" by changing to "Japan" + "duck".

Here, the change information is information to be displayed in place of the received international calling number, and may include country name information and caller information. The operation of the called terminal 151 will be described in more detail in the description of FIG. 3.

So far, the international call number management system according to the first embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to FIG. 1. Hereinafter, the international call number managing device 140 will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

If there is an international call connection request, the receiver 210 receives a call connection request signal and a calling number from the home network 110. In addition, the receiver 210 may receive all signals and data for communication with the home network 110.

The determination unit 220 determines whether the received calling number includes the international calling number.

In more detail, the determination unit 220 may calculate the number of digits of the received calling number. If the calculated number of digits is greater than or equal to a predetermined number of digits, it may be determined that the calling terminal 152 is an international calling number included in the home network 110 and the roaming network 120 of another country.

The number management unit updates the received international calling number with change information. Here, the update information includes number information corresponding to the telephone number of the calling terminal 152.

When a domestic network subscriber makes an international call from a foreign country, the country code is written in place of the first "0" in the telephone number according to the domestic network.

Accordingly, the number manager may know whether the tenth digit from the right is 1 in the received international dialing number. If it is not 1, whether the ninth number is 1 may be additionally determined.

This is because the mobile terminal may have 9 digits as well as 10 digits. Or, if the number of digits or identification number of the mobile terminal is changed later, it is obvious that the extraction method can be changed accordingly.

If the number of the 9th or 10th digit is 1, the number manager may delete the number on the left of the digit, and the number manager adds "0" in front of the number after deleting the telephone number of the calling terminal 152. Can be extracted.

In this case, the number information management unit 230 may use a right funtion function of an Excel file. A light function is a function that can extract up to a preset number of digits from the right in a specific collection of numbers.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the country number table 610 may be used to extract and delete the country number placed in front of the country number, or to delete the country number if it is included. 152 It is apparent to those skilled in the art that any method of extracting a telephone number can be used.

In addition, the number information management unit 230 may change the international calling number into telephone number information including country name information information. More specifically, the number information management unit 230 may extract the country code from the international calling number and change the international calling number according to the telephone number information including the country name information.

Here, the phone number information may include caller information such as a country name, a phone number of the calling terminal, a user name of the calling terminal, and the like. In this case, the caller information may be information such as a name, a trade name, a business type, and an address stored in the international calling number management device 140.

In this case, the number management unit may use the above-described Excel light function, or, conversely, may use a left function that extracts a number of preset digits from the left side. Extracting the country code is not limited thereto, and may be implemented in various ways, such as by using the country code table 610.

At this time, the number information management unit 230 may read the country name information of the country where the calling terminal 152 is located by using the extracted country code and country code table 610. In this case, the country name information may be transmitted to the called terminal.

Therefore, the called terminal can display the calling information, including the received country name information and the telephone number of the calling terminal, in place of the international calling number.

Here, the calling information may include not only the telephone number of the calling terminal, but also information such as a caller name, a trade name, a business type, and an address corresponding to the telephone number in the stored telephone number list.

In addition, when the international telephone operator number is included instead of the country code, the international telephone operator number may be extracted, and the extracted international telephone operator number may be changed to the country name information according to the stored matching information.

Here, the matching information is information including an international telephone operator number and corresponding country name information, and may be included in the country code table 610 and implemented.

The transmission unit 240 transmits the country name information and the changed telephone number to the terminal. In more detail, the transmitter 240 transmits the changed information home network 110 to the destination terminal 151 with the call connection request signal to the destination terminal 151 through the switching center and base station of the home network 110. .

The transmitter 240 may transmit signals and data for communication with the home network 110 as well as the changed telephone number.

The storage unit 250 stores all information for driving the international dialing number management device 140, and may store the country code table 610 in the present invention.

The stored country code table 610 may be used when the number information management unit 230 reads country name information according to the country code.

In this case, the country code table 610 includes country name information and information matching a country code of a corresponding country. For example, it may include country name information such as Japan-81, Korea-82, and USA-1, and information in which the country code is matched.

The country code table 610 will be described in more detail by way of example in the description of FIG. 6.

So far, the international call number management device 140 according to the second embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to FIG. 2. Hereinafter, an international call number management terminal will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

Since the output unit 330 and the memory unit 340 for storing various data are general configurations of the terminal, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The controller 350 controls the overall signal for general driving of the terminal. In the present invention, the control unit 350 includes a determination control unit 351 and a number information control unit 352.

When there is a call connection request, the determination controller 351 determines whether the received calling number is an international calling number. In this case, in more detail, the determination controller 351 may determine whether the caller is an international caller by calculating the number of digits of the received caller ID.

The number information control unit 352 changes the received international calling number into the telephone number of the calling terminal. In this case, the changed information may be controlled to be displayed on the terminal through the output unit 330.

Here, the received international calling number information may be changed to the country name information and the telephone number of the calling terminal 152. The number information control unit 352 changes the received international dialing number to the country name information and the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 in a similar manner to the operation of the number information managing unit 230 of the international dialing number management device 140 described above. Can be.

Accordingly, the number information control unit 352 extracts the country code from the international calling number, and reads out the country name information using the extracted country code and the stored country code table 610. In addition, the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 may be read by adding "0" before the country code from the international calling number.

In addition, as described above, the number information control unit 352 may read the country name information by extracting the international telephone operator number from the international calling number.

As described above, the number information controller 352 may generate change information similar to the operation of the number information manager 230 described above. Therefore, repeated description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the number information control unit 352 extracts caller information using the read phone number of the calling terminal 152 and the stored phone number list, and may change the international calling number including the extracted caller information.

In this case, the caller information may include a name, business name, business type and address. In addition, the phone number list is information stored in the memory unit 340 of the terminal, and may include information such as a phone number stored by the user and a name corresponding thereto.

Therefore, the number information control unit 352 may change the international calling number, including the country name information and the calling party information, when the international calling number is received. In this case, if there is no telephone number of the calling terminal 152 in the telephone number list, the changed information may include the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 in place of the calling party information.

In addition, the number information controller 352 displays the generated change information to the user through the output unit 330. In this case, the changed information may be displayed on the output unit 330 together with the call connection notification.

In the present invention, the output unit 330 displays the telephone number and the like of the provided calling terminal 152 together with the call connection notification.

In addition, the output unit 330 may display the changed country name and the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 on the call list of the called terminal 151 after the call connection ends.

Here, the call list may include an outgoing telephone number, a received telephone number, and a missed call telephone number of the called terminal 151. The user can know the calling or receiving telephone number through the recorded call list.

For example, the user may end the international phone call, after which the user may view the call list stored in the terminal again. In this case, the output unit 330 may display the international reception number stored on the call list as the changed country name and the telephone number of the calling terminal.

Therefore, the user can see the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 instead of the international calling number even after the call is finished.

In the present invention, the memory unit 340 stores the country code table 610 and the phone number list, and the country code table 610 and the phone number list may be provided according to a call of the controller 350.

So far, the international call number management terminal according to the second embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to FIG. 3. Hereinafter, an international call number management method according to the first and second embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for managing international calling numbers according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, the method for managing international calling numbers according to the first embodiment of the present invention may be transmitted by changing the country name information and the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 using the received international calling number.

International call number management device 140 receives a call connection request signal and the call number information (S410). The international calling number management apparatus 140 determines whether the received calling number is an international calling number (S420). Here, the international calling number may include a country code (or an international telephone operator number) in the telephone number of the calling terminal in response to the international call connection request.

When determined as the international calling number, the international calling number management device 140 may extract the country code (or international telephone operator number) and the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 from the received international calling number. In addition, the international calling number management device 140 changes the international calling number to the extracted telephone number (S430).

For example, suppose a domestic network subscriber makes an international call. At this time, the international calling number includes the country code instead of "0" at the beginning.

In this case, the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 determines whether the number of the tenth digit from the right is 1 by using the same function as that of the Excel function. If not, it is determined whether the ninth number is one. If the ninth number is 1, the ninth number is extracted.

At this time, the international calling number management apparatus 140 may extract the telephone number of the calling terminal 152 by adding 0 before the extracted number.
