It may be a terminal or a landline phone that supports a voice call to receive a specific service according to the voice service statement provided by the. As described above, although various examples of the calling terminal 110 are described in the embodiment of the present invention, this is only an example to help understanding of the present invention and is not limited thereto. Hereinafter, the embodiment of the present invention is an example in which the calling terminal 110 is a terminal or a landline phone that supports a voice call that can be provided with a specific service according to the voice service provided by the ARS server by accessing the ARS server. Will be explained.

The first communication network 120 will be described in the case of a fixed network such as a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or an Intergrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) or an Internet network, for example. When calling using the call, it may serve to transmit the call to the second communication network (130). In addition, the first communication network 120 may transmit a call connection request signal (IAM: Initial Address Message) to the second communication network 130 when the call originating terminal 110. In this case, the call connection request signal may include a caller's phone number, a called party's phone number and an outgoing call attribute. At this time, in the embodiment of the present invention, the outgoing call attribute may include information indicating whether the first communication network subscriber uses caller identification display call ID (hereinafter referred to as "CID service") and information of the first communication network 120. It may include carrier information.

The second communication network 130 will be described in the case of a first communication network 120 and a heterogeneous communication network, for example, a mobile communication network. For example, when the second communication network 130 is a mobile communication network, PGS (PCX Gateway) System (131), Personal Communication Services eXchange (PCX) 132, Home Location Register (HLR) (133), Calling Information Sending-Service Cintrol Point (CISS-SCP) (134) ), A customer management device (hereinafter referred to as "WISE") 135, a base station controller (hereinafter referred to as "BSC") 136 and a base station (hereinafter referred to as "BASE Transceiver Station") BTS "137).

The PGS 131 may serve as a gateway exchange between the internal network and the external network. In an embodiment of the present invention, the internal network may be understood as the second communication network 130, and the external network may be understood as the first communication network 120.

The PCX 132 may serve as an exchange of the second communication network 130 and is a wired / wireless hybrid digital exchange that provides a wired communication function and a mobile communication function. In the embodiment of the present invention has been described by way of example, the PCX 132 performs the role of the exchange side of the calling and destination side, this is only one example to help the understanding of the present invention, not limited to the origination It may consist of a side exchange and a destination side exchange.

The HLR 133 stores and manages the location information of the subscriber of the second communication network 130 and stores almost all subscriber data such as origination, location registration, and reception of the destination terminal 140 of the VX (Visitor Location Register) of the PCX 132. It serves to provide, the authentication center (AuC) required for the call to the destination terminal 140 generates an authentication vector, and performs a subscriber authentication function. In general, the authentication center (AuC) is interlocked with the HLR 133, and they can exchange information with each other.

The CISS-SCP 134 may store subscriber information of the first communication network subscriber, and may provide subscriber information of the first communication network subscriber when displaying caller information on the called terminal 140. At this time, the subscriber information of the CISS-SCP 134 may be updated by the WISE 135 to be described later.

2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a CISS-SCP according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the CISS-SCP 134 according to an embodiment of the present invention is an information storage unit 134a for storing subscriber information of a first communication network subscriber, from the first communication network 120 to the second communication network 130.

It may include an information providing unit (134c) for providing subscriber information of. In this case, since the subscriber information in FIG. 2 is information of a first communication network subscriber who sends a call, it may be understood to be the same as the caller information.

The information storage unit 134a may store subscriber information for the first communication network subscriber. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the information storage unit 134a may store subscriber information 220 for the telephone number 210 of the first communication network subscriber. 3 illustrates a case where text is stored as the subscriber information 220. For example, the subscriber information 220 is not limited to the name, text, image, video, and voice of the first communication network subscriber. This may be included. Therefore, the called terminal 140 may display or output not only the telephone number of the first communication network subscriber but also caller information such as the first communication network subscriber's name, text indicating the first communication network subscriber, text, image, video, and voice. It can be.

The information retrieval unit 134b retrieves the subscriber information stored in the information storage unit 134a according to the originating call attribute, and the information providing unit 134b provides the retrieved subscriber information. That is, the information retrieval unit 134b can retrieve subscriber information when the originating call attribute uses the CID service.

Therefore, the second communication network subscriber is low in call completion rate because it is difficult to check the caller only by the phone number when the incoming call, as described above, can increase the recognition of the caller through a variety of caller information, it is possible to increase the call completion rate In this way, it is possible to increase the profits of the service provider.

The WISE 135 may register subscriber information by a first communication network subscriber who wants to use the CID service. In this case, when the first communication network subscriber uses the CID service, the WISE 135 may register subscriber information with the aforementioned CISS-SCP 134. In this case, the first communication network subscriber may register his / her subscriber information in advance, and may be registered in advance by agreement between the first communication network 120 and the second communication network 130 operator, and the first communication network subscriber may register in the second. Content to be used as subscriber information may be selected through a website provided by the communication network 130, or may be produced and registered directly, but is not limited thereto.

The BSC 136 is located between the BTS 137 and the PCX 132 to be responsible for base station management and control. It has a packet-switched structure to efficiently handle mobile communication protocols. 7 Signaling is used.

In the radio section of the BTS 137 and the called terminal 140, the channel types include a pilot channel, a synchronization channel, a call channel, and a call channel that are forward, and a connection channel and a call channel that are reverse. The caller information in the embodiment of the present invention is transmitted from the BTS 137 to the called terminal 140 through the call channel during the call connection. A message transmitted from the BTS 137 to the called terminal 140 using such a call channel includes overhead, paging, channel assignment, and order, and in particular, BTS ( Caller information is carried in a channel assignment message that allows 137 to allocate a traffic channel to the called terminal 140.

The destination terminal 140 may be a general mobile communication terminal, a terminal capable of 3GPP service, a variety of information communication devices such as a PDA, a smart phone, and basically a device capable of text messaging, Internet access, etc. together with a call service. have. In addition, the called terminal 110 may be an information communication device or a device including the same, in addition to a mobile communication terminal, such as a general computer, a laptop, or the like, connected to the Internet, or may be connected to an ARS (Audio Response System) server. It may be a terminal or a landline phone that supports a voice call to receive a specific service according to the voice service statement provided by the. As described above, although various examples of the called terminal 110 are described in the embodiment of the present invention, this is only an example for helping the understanding of the present invention and is not limited thereto. In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, since the destination terminal 110 is connected to the second communication network 130 and the second communication network 130 is a mobile communication network, for example, the mobile communication terminal is described. Let's explain. In addition, the called terminal 140 may include a display unit and a speaker for displaying caller information.

1 to 3, the first and second communication networks 120 and 130 are fixed networks and mobile communication networks, respectively. For example, caller information may be displayed between heterogeneous communication networks. It is merely an example of the present, and may be similarly applied to a heterogeneous communication network regardless of the type of the first communication network 120 and the second communication network 130. That is, the first communication network 120 and the second communication network 130 may be a fixed network, an internet network, and a mobile communication network under the condition of heterogeneous networks, respectively.

4 is a block diagram illustrating a system for displaying heterogeneous caller information according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The heterogeneous caller information display system 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is different from providing caller information in the second communication network 130 connected to the called terminal 140 in the first embodiment of the present invention. It may be understood that the caller information is provided by the first communication network 120 connected with the 110. Accordingly, in FIG. 1, the CISS-SCP 134 is included in the second communication network 130, but is omitted in FIG. 4, and the function of the CISS-SCP 134 may be performed in the first communication network 120. have. In addition, in FIG. 4, as the CISS-SCP 134 is omitted, the WISE 135 may also be omitted, but this means a possibility of omission in the purpose of providing caller information as in the present invention and the second communication network 130. ) Can be included for customer management.

In addition, when the first communication network 120 transmits the call connection request signal to the second communication network 130 in order to provide the caller information to the second communication network 130, the call connection request signal is Not only the caller's phone number, called party's phone number, and operator information of the first communication network, but also subscriber information of the calling terminal 110 may be provided. As such, the subscriber station can provide the subscriber information in the first communication network 120, since the originating terminal 110 uses the first communication network 120, and therefore, the originating terminal 110 in the first communication network 120 can of course be provided. This is because it holds subscriber information.

Meanwhile, in the above-described first and second embodiments of the present invention, a case in which caller information is stored, managed, and provided by the second communication network 130 and the first communication network 120 is described as an example. Not limited to this, the first communication network 120 and the second communication network 130 share the subscriber information subscribed to the mutual communication network through negotiation, and store, manage and provide the shared subscriber information in a system accessible from the mutual communication network. You may.

The PCX 132 transmits the location information request signal to the HLR 133 in order to confirm the location of the called terminal 140 of the called party (S130). In this case, the transmitted location information request signal may include an originating call attribute included in the call connection request signal.

When using the CID service according to the originating call attribute included in the transmitted location information request signal, the HLR 133 transmits the CID service request signal to the CISS-SCP 134 (S140).

The CISS-SCP 134 searches for caller information according to the CID service request signal from the HLR 133 and transmits a CID service response signal including the corresponding caller information to the HLR 133 as a result of the search (S150). .

Thereafter, the PCX 132 receives the CID service response signal from the HLR 133 (S160), and performs the incoming call processing with the called terminal 140. In this case, the destination terminal 140 may display subscriber information registered by the first communication network subscriber, that is, caller information. As described above, the caller information displayed on the called terminal 140 may include a phone number, a text, an image, a video, a voice, and the like.
