Description

1. TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to the field of telecommunications and can mainly be used in a communication session between users of a data network and a telephone network.

2. BACKGROUND

A known method of a personal call to a subscriber of the telephone network (options), Russian patent 2257681, Bull. No. 21 dated July 27, 2005, in which, according to one embodiment of the method, the called (in another embodiment, the calling) subscriber generates a message about the person of the called user and transmits it to the telephone network. In the telephone network remember this message and the number of the terminal device from which it came. Then the calling (in another embodiment, the called) subscriber generates a message about the person of the called subscriber and transmits it to the telephone network. In the telephone network, the received message is compared with previously stored, with a positive result of the comparison, the numbers of the corresponding terminal devices are determined and the communication channel between the subscribers is established.

The known method allows you to make a call to the subscriber without information about his phone number or location, and provides the greatest degree of individual freedom of choice and restriction of incoming calls, but this technical solution relates to telephony and can be used on quasi-electronic and digital telephone exchanges in switched networks channels.

A known method of a communication session in data networks described in the book "Access Network Protocols" (Goldstein BS, Access Network Protocols. Volume 2. 3rd edition. - St. Petersburg: BHV - St. Petersburg, 2005, p. 255 -258), according to which the network address of the device of the called user is formed in the device of the calling user, a message is generated about the beginning of the communication session, and the generated messages are sent to the data network. Intermediate data network devices, such as gateways and routers, receive messages generated in the device of the calling user, determine the network address of the device of the called user, and route the received messages to the device address of the called user. In the device of the called user, messages are received from the device of the calling user, the nature of the information received is determined by the message about the beginning of the communication session, and the communication session, that is, the real-time data exchange process, for example, audio information exchange, is carried out. During a communication session, the device address of the called user as the destination address and the address of the device of the calling user as the outgoing address are indicated in the device of the called user, and the device address of the called user as the destination address and the device address of the called user as the outgoing address in the device of the called user .

In a known method for conducting a communication session, the address space of user devices in a data network is defined by unique network addresses within the network. Each data network device has a unique number. For example, IP protocol of the fourth version defines 32-bit addresses that allow connecting more than four billion devices to the data network. But the free space of IP addresses is constantly decreasing and is scarce. The protocol of the sixth version already provides for the use of 128-bit addresses. Such multi-digit numerical addresses are poorly remembered by a person. A communication session based on the use of such addresses does not provide the user with technical conditions for convenient and arbitrary selection of his address space.

There is a method (prototype) of a communication session in data transmission networks (Moore M., Priteki T., Riggs K., Saufvik P. Telecommunications. A Guide for Beginners. - St. Petersburg, BHV-Petersburg, 2005, p.510-511, p. 598-601), based on the fact that the device’s calling user’s device is first created with the special domain name of the device of the called user, the network address of the special intermediate device of the data network (domain name server) is generated, and the generated messages are sent to the data network. These messages are received on the domain name server, the network address of the called user device is determined, the network address of the called user device is determined by the domain name, a message about the network address of the called user device is generated, and this message is sent to the device address of the called user. Then, the network address of the device of the called user is formed in the device of the calling user, a message is generated about the beginning of the communication session, and the generated messages are sent to the data network. Intermediate data network devices, such as gateways and routers, receive messages generated in the device of the calling user, determine the network address of the device of the called user, and route the received messages to the device address of the called user. In the device of the called user, messages are received from the device of the calling user, the nature of the information received is determined by the message about the beginning of the communication session, and the communication session, that is, the real-time data exchange process, for example, audio information exchange, is carried out.

The known method through the use of domain names makes it easier for the user to remember network addresses specified by multi-digit numbers, but it does not provide technical conditions for the user to conveniently and arbitrarily select his address space. The symbolic names or mnemonic numbers of the domain addressing have a strict hierarchy and one-to-one correspondence with the digital address field of the IP protocol. The user does not have the technical ability to independently organize his own address space and to arbitrarily change addresses and the rules for organizing communication sessions at these addresses. This reduces its security against unauthorized and unwanted communication sessions.

3. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

For the claimed method of implementing a personal communication session between users of the data network, the sequence of operations and the conditions for their implementation are essential, therefore, for a more adequate description of the technical solution, the formulation of the set of features in both variants of the method is performed without separation into restrictive and distinctive parts.

When implementing the claimed method of implementing a personal communication session between a user of a data network and a telephone network user and its variant in the case when users belong to heterogeneous telecommunication networks, the following technical results can be obtained:

1. Creation of technical conditions that allow each user to independently organize their own address space and their own rules for conducting a communication session, which are independent of the numbering and addressing plans for organizing a data network or telephone network.

2. Creation of technical conditions to protect the user of the data network from undesirable or unauthorized communication sessions by independently organizing their own address space and arbitrary changes in the addresses selected by the user and the rules for conducting communication sessions at these addresses.

3. Creation of technical conditions for increasing the efficiency of protecting the user of the data network from undesirable or unauthorized communication sessions by providing the ability to structure his address space by simultaneously entering several messages about the person of the called user.

Both variants of the method allow to achieve the claimed technical result and differ in the sequence of operations in relation to the conditions and place of their execution.

The operation of generating in the device of the called user one or more messages about the person of the called user ensures the creation of the address space of the called user. These messages are addresses that identify the called user, because in the device of the calling user to organize a communication session with the called user, the operation of generating one of the messages about the person of the called user is performed, while the network address or telephone number of the device of the called user is not generated.

The operations of storing, comparing, generating and transmitting messages in the intermediate device of the data network or in the control device of the telephone network provide the transfer of information about the communication session to the network address of the device or the telephone number of the called user only in a certain case of matching messages received from the respective user devices. Unlike similar known methods of conducting a communication session in a data network or telephone network, a successful communication session is only possible if the calling user knows one of those messages about the person of the called user that are generated in the device of the called user and stored in the intermediate device of the data network.

Messages about the person of the called user are selected and generated by this user independently and completely independently of the technical address space of the data network (the technical address space is the network addressing system for user devices and intermediate devices or nodes of this network) or the telephone network.

All the claimed technical results, with the exception of result number three, are achieved by implementing the entire set of features of the method for conducting a personal communication session between a data network user and a telephone network user, including any of the alternatives associated with the formation of one or more messages about the person of the called user. When generating more than one message about the person of the called user, an additional technical result is achieved related to the creation of technical conditions for increasing the efficiency of protecting the user of the data network from undesirable or unauthorized communication sessions by providing the possibility of structuring your address space by simultaneously entering several messages about The person of the called user. When declaring readiness for a communication session at several addresses simultaneously (messages about the person of the called user), the user of the data network has the ability to enter different message addresses for different user groups and thereby has the ability to conveniently split incoming calls for the communication session.
