Description

通過行動網路使用數個國際移動用戶識別碼來提 供數個服務的系統 Use several international mobile user IDs through the mobile network System for several services

本發明關於一種通過行動網路提供數個服務的系統,特別是關於一種通過行動網路使用數個國際移動用戶識別碼(International Mobile Subscriber Identity,IMSI)來提供數個服務的系統。 The present invention relates to a system for providing several services over a mobile network, and more particularly to a system for providing several services using a number of International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) over a mobile network.

隨著科技的發展,網際網路在日常生活中扮演著越來越重要的角色。在早期,終端設備連結網際網路是經由網際網路服務供應商(Internet Service Provider,ISP)所提供的連結設備。當3G行動網路普及後,網際網路連結的主流變成了使用智慧型手機與平板電腦經由行動網路營運商(Mobile Network Operator,MNO)所提供的行動網路。隨著3G或4G基地台硬體設施廣泛鋪展,行動網路營運商間的競爭也隨之加劇。 With the development of technology, the Internet plays an increasingly important role in daily life. In the early days, the terminal device connected to the Internet was a connected device provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP). When the 3G mobile network became popular, the mainstream of Internet connectivity became a mobile network provided by mobile network operators and mobile phones through mobile network operators (MNOs). With the extensive deployment of 3G or 4G base station hardware facilities, competition among mobile network operators has intensified.

行動網路營運商的服務通常提供不同的服務方案,以滿足不同用戶的各種需求。行動網際網路進接服務可在一 國際移動用戶識別碼,以安裝在用戶識別模組(Subscriber Identity Module,SIM)之密鑰成功地接受認證後,通過一特定行動網路而提供。該服務方案通常結合語音通話服務,以便安裝了儲存該國際移動用戶識別碼的SIM之智慧型手機能提供行動網際網路進接與語音服務。時至今日,行動電話用戶必須基於使用量(以Gigabyte或Kilobyte計)來支付他們使用的行動網際網路服務,才能持續享用該服務。隨著網際網路應用普及,該些應用透過行動網路提供了特定的服務,諸如社交、聊天、影音串流…等給它們的訂購用戶,卻無須受限於行動網路營運商。如此形成了一組在行動網路上的寄生生態系統,而該行動網路卻是由行動網路營運商所建立與維護的。 The services of mobile network operators usually provide different service solutions to meet the various needs of different users. Mobile internet access service can be in one The International Mobile Subscriber Identity is provided through a specific mobile network after the key installed in the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) is successfully authenticated. The service plan is usually combined with a voice call service so that a smart phone with a SIM that stores the international mobile subscriber identity code can provide mobile internet access and voice services. Today, mobile phone users must pay for the mobile Internet service they use based on usage (in Gigabyte or Kilobyte) in order to continue to enjoy the service. With the popularity of Internet applications, these applications provide specific services through mobile networks, such as social, chat, video streaming, etc., to their subscribers, without being limited by mobile network operators. This forms a set of parasitic ecosystems on mobile networks that are built and maintained by mobile network operators.

上面提到的商業模式被稱為OTT(Over The Top)。藉使用行動網路營運商所提供的行動網路,服務內容由服務供應商所提供,而非行動網路營運商本身。同時,服務供應商不必支付行動網路營運商服務營運的成本。OTT通常在“免費增值”基礎上提供他們的服務,這意味著用戶通常無償使用這些服務,以便服務供應商能快速地獲得眾多的用戶,卻不必投資於行動網路架構上。隨著這樣的服務供應商與其用戶顯著大量地增加,因為Wi-Fi等替代性進接技術的存在,提高了數據網路使用率並導致價格侵蝕,行動網路營運商也將需要分配更多預算在網路擴張與新頻寬收購投資。然而,基 於現存毀壞行動網路利基的技術上,行動網路營運商卻無法與OTT合作來管理OTT服務,讓OTT能分攤行動網路營運商的成本及提供其服務的品質保證。 The business model mentioned above is called OTT (Over The Top). By using the mobile network provided by the mobile network operator, the service content is provided by the service provider, not the mobile network operator itself. At the same time, service providers do not have to pay for the operating costs of mobile network operators. OTT typically provides their services on a "freemium" basis, which means that users typically use these services for free, so that service providers can quickly access a large number of users without having to invest in a mobile network architecture. As such service providers and their users increase significantly, and because of the existence of alternative access technologies such as Wi-Fi, increasing data network usage and causing price erosion, mobile network operators will also need to allocate more The budget is in the network expansion and new bandwidth acquisition investment. However, base In the existing technology that destroys the mobile network niche, mobile network operators are unable to cooperate with OTT to manage OTT services, allowing OTT to share the cost of mobile network operators and provide quality assurance for their services.

另一方面,因為網路中立性(Net Neutrality,是一種原則,要求網際網路營運商及政府應平等處理所有網際網路上的資料,由網際網路營運商提供的資料到其合法位置間,不存在堵滯、節流與優先支付等問題),行動網路營運商不能干預來自服務供應商的資料,以滿足來自某些OTT合作廠商的期望,進而從其獲取營利。行動網路營運商進退兩難的狀況已經存在了好一段時間。 On the other hand, because Net Neutrality is a principle that requires Internet operators and governments to handle all Internet data equally, the information provided by Internet operators is between their legal locations. There are no problems with stagnation, throttling, and priority payments. Mobile network operators cannot intervene from service providers to meet expectations from certain OTT partners and profit from them. The situation of mobile network operators has been in a dilemma for a long time.

電信監管機構,如美國的FCC及印度的TRAI,開始監控行動網路營運商與OTT間的合作機制。行動網路營運商的做法,比如“零稅率”與“阻塞”特定OTT,很有可能違反網路中立性原則。監管機構正在立法禁止行動網路營運商,藉由提供網際網路服務的任何操縱網路與付費系統,這進一步使得行動網路營運商成了啞道管(dumb pipe),而行動網路營運商將永久面臨價格侵蝕的挑戰。因此,行動網路營運商新的發展方向只能朝向管理。 Telecommunications regulators, such as the US FCC and India's TRAI, began to monitor the cooperation mechanism between mobile network operators and OTT. Mobile network operators' practices, such as “zero tax rate” and “blocking” specific OTTs, are likely to violate the principle of net neutrality. Regulators are legislating to ban mobile network operators, by providing any Internet and payment systems for Internet services, which further makes mobile network operators dumb pipes, and mobile network operations Businesses will face the challenge of price erosion forever. Therefore, the new development direction of mobile network operators can only be directed towards management.

將數個國際移動用戶識別碼置於單一行動裝置中,行動網路營運商可藉由切換國際移動用戶識別碼換轉變他們的角色,從網際網路服務供應商變為應用服務供應商(Application Service Provider,ASP),給予用戶在傳統行動 網際網路與優先服務間的選擇。藉由讓網際網路服務成為一種選項及給予客戶於行動網際網路與受管理的OTT服務間的選擇,行動網路營運商能由網路中立性的限制中釋放,並獲得操作付費系統與網路的自由,以達成OTT合作夥伴的期望。更積極地來說,行動網路營運商能販售國際移動用戶識別碼給OTT,如應用於M2M模式,以增加收入來源。 By placing several international mobile subscriber identity codes in a single mobile device, mobile network operators can change their role by switching international mobile subscriber identity codes from Internet service providers to application service providers (Application) Service Provider, ASP), giving users in traditional actions The choice between the Internet and priority services. By making Internet services an option and giving customers the choice between a mobile Internet and a managed OTT service, mobile network operators can be released from network neutrality restrictions and gain access to operating payment systems. The freedom of the Internet to meet the expectations of OTT partners. More aggressively, mobile network operators can sell international mobile subscriber IDs to OTTs, such as in the M2M model, to increase revenue streams.

因此,發明人花費許多時間與努力,研究設計創造出一種基於數個國際移動用戶識別碼管理,通過行動網路提供數個服務的系統。該系統能解決上述問題並幫助行動網路營運商管理OTT合作夥伴。最重要的是,該系統幫助行動網路營運商提供改良的服務水準與客製化功能予其客戶。 Therefore, the inventor spent a lot of time and effort to research and design a system that provides several services through a mobile network based on several international mobile subscriber identity management. The system solves these problems and helps mobile network operators manage OTT partners. Most importantly, the system helps mobile network operators deliver improved service levels and customization to their customers.

第3圖顯示該系統運作的例子。 Figure 3 shows an example of how the system works.

本發明將藉由參照下列的實施方式而更具體地描述。 The invention will be more specifically described by reference to the following embodiments.

請參閱第1圖至第3圖,該些圖式用以揭露一種通過行動網路使用數個國際移動用戶識別碼來提供數個服務的系統的實施例。系統中的主要單元應至少包括一行動裝置100與一國際移動用戶識別碼供應伺服器200。行動裝置100的數量不限定只有一個。一個行動裝置100僅用於一位用戶。事實上,系統中可能存在有成千上萬甚至更多的行動裝置100。使用一個行動裝置100僅為簡化本發明之說明。行動裝置100是一種客製化的電子裝置,供行動網路營運商販售給他們的用戶。事實上,它可以智慧型手機或平板電腦來取代,因為這些裝置可以容易自市場取得,這點並未受本發明的限制。然而,行動裝置100需要被配置某些特別設置的硬體與軟體。行動裝置100的細節將於下方做進一步的說明。 Referring to Figures 1 through 3, these figures are used to disclose an embodiment of a system for providing several services using a number of international mobile subscriber identity codes over a mobile network. The main unit in the system should include at least one mobile device 100 and an international mobile subscriber identity provider server 200. The number of mobile devices 100 is not limited to one. A mobile device 100 is for only one user. In fact, there may be thousands or even more mobile devices 100 in the system. The use of a mobile device 100 is merely illustrative of the invention. Mobile device 100 is a customized electronic device that is sold to mobile network operators by their mobile network operators. In fact, it can be replaced by a smart phone or tablet because these devices can be easily obtained from the market, which is not limited by the present invention. However, the mobile device 100 needs to be configured with some specially arranged hardware and software. Details of the mobile device 100 will be further explained below.

行動裝置100裝設有一國際移動用戶識別碼管理軟體120。行動裝置100具有一國際移動用戶識別碼管理硬體110。因為國際移動用戶識別碼管理硬體110是建於行動裝置100的內部,國際移動用戶識別碼管理硬體110的主架構與第1圖中的行動裝置100一起說明。在本實施例中,國際移動用戶識別碼管理硬體110是一個SIM卡插槽與一張SIM卡。該SIM卡能儲存及管理複數套國際移動用戶識別碼與各別的用戶識別模組基本資料,它應是一張多國際移動用戶識別碼SIM卡。某些 SIM卡可能不攜帶國際移動用戶識別碼與用戶識別模組基本資料,直到一組國際移動用戶識別碼與用戶識別模組基本資料自遠端伺服器下載並安裝。於此同時,國際移動用戶識別碼管理硬體110也可包括用於處理資料輸出輸入的邏輯電路。國際移動用戶識別碼管理硬體110因而保存數個國際移動用戶識別碼與其各別的用戶識別模組基本資料。用戶識別模組基本資料主要包括一認證密鑰(Authentication Key,Ki)。用戶識別模組基本資料與國際移動用戶識別碼經由行動網路營運商的基地台設備檢查及認證,以便進一步的服務能透過網際網路,經由基地台設備而獲取。 The mobile device 100 is equipped with an international mobile subscriber identity management software 120. The mobile device 100 has an international mobile subscriber identity management hardware 110. Since the international mobile subscriber identity management hardware 110 is built inside the mobile device 100, the main architecture of the international mobile subscriber identity management hardware 110 is illustrated together with the mobile device 100 in FIG. In this embodiment, the international mobile subscriber identity management hardware 110 is a SIM card slot and a SIM card. The SIM card can store and manage a plurality of sets of international mobile subscriber identity codes and basic data of individual subscriber identity modules. It should be a multi-digit mobile subscriber identity SIM card. some The SIM card may not carry the international mobile subscriber identity code and the subscriber identity module basic data until a set of international mobile subscriber identity codes and subscriber identity module basic data are downloaded and installed from the remote server. At the same time, the international mobile subscriber identity management hardware 110 may also include logic for processing data output inputs. The international mobile subscriber identity management hardware 110 thus stores a number of international mobile subscriber identity codes and their respective subscriber identity module basics. The basic data of the subscriber identity module mainly includes an authentication key (Ki). The subscriber identity module basic data and the international mobile subscriber identity code are checked and authenticated by the mobile network operator's base station equipment, so that further services can be obtained via the base station equipment via the internet.

本發明的一個特徵在於準備一個空間用來安裝至少二個國際移動用戶識別碼,並於行動裝置100中自由地切換它們。因此,在其它實施例中,國際移動用戶識別碼管理硬體110可以是一個eSIM晶片。eSIM晶片能儲存及管理複數套國際移動用戶識別碼與各別的用戶識別模組基本資料,這也就是說具有這樣單元的一個行動裝置可能不需包含一張實體SIM卡,用以接受認證來進接網際網路或使用語音通話服務。特別地,該eSIM晶片能嵌設於一SIM卡插槽內。這樣的設計使得一行動裝置能在一實體SIM卡插入前,先安裝了國際移動用戶識別碼。如果行動裝置是一台智慧型手機,網際網路服務供應商能販售該智慧型手機與一國際移動用戶識別碼,該國際移動用戶識別碼預載於SIM卡插槽中的eSIM晶片裡。 One feature of the present invention is that a space is prepared for installing at least two International Mobile Subscriber Identity codes and freely switching them in the mobile device 100. Thus, in other embodiments, the International Mobile Subscriber Identity Management Hardware 110 can be an eSIM chip. The eSIM chip can store and manage a plurality of sets of international mobile subscriber identity codes and respective subscriber identity module basic materials, which means that a mobile device having such a unit may not need to include a physical SIM card for authentication. Enter the internet or use a voice call service. In particular, the eSIM chip can be embedded in a SIM card slot. This design allows a mobile device to install an international mobile subscriber identity code prior to insertion of a physical SIM card. If the mobile device is a smart phone, the Internet service provider can sell the smart phone and an international mobile subscriber identity code, which is preloaded in the eSIM chip in the SIM card slot.

在其它實施例中,仍有其它的方式來實現國際移動用戶識別碼管理硬體110。國際移動用戶識別碼管理硬體110可以是一張薄膜SIM。在這例子中,薄膜SIM貼附到一常規SIM卡上並插入行動裝置110的一SIM卡插槽中,以啟動行動裝置110存取薄膜SIM中的國際移動用戶識別碼與各別的用戶識別模組基本資料。於此同時,薄膜SIM也能在自身安裝一組國際移動用戶識別碼與用戶識別模組基本資料。該薄膜SIM可以在市場上買到,例如,太思科技所提供的slimduetTM。它由軟性電路板所製,其上結合有一處理器、記憶體,及其它的主被動元件。軟性電路板的兩側也形成了兩群的接點,這些接點符合SIM卡輸出輸入接點的規範要求。記憶體能儲存數個國際移動用戶識別碼與各別的用戶識別模組基本資料,它也能儲存某些重要資料,諸如某些線上服務的用戶帳號與密碼,該些線上服務需要先登錄才能進行存取。處理器能處理資料傳輸或存取的操作,包含安裝一組國際移動用戶識別碼與用戶識別模組基本資料於一多國際移動用戶識別碼SIM卡或其內的記憶體中。當薄膜SIM貼附到一張SIM卡並插入行動裝置100的SIM卡插槽時,它能啟動行動裝置100來存取國際移動用戶識別碼與各別的用戶識別模組基本資料。 In other embodiments, there are other ways to implement the International Mobile Subscriber Identity Management Hardware 110. The International Mobile Subscriber Identity Management Hardware 110 can be a thin film SIM. In this example, the thin film SIM is attached to a conventional SIM card and inserted into a SIM card slot of the mobile device 110 to activate the mobile device 110 to access the international mobile subscriber identity and individual user identification in the thin film SIM. Module basic information. At the same time, the thin film SIM can also install a set of international mobile subscriber identity and user identification module basic data. The film SIM can buy in the market, for example, Taisys slimduet TM technology provides. It is made of a flexible circuit board that incorporates a processor, memory, and other active and passive components. Two groups of contacts are also formed on both sides of the flexible circuit board, and these contacts conform to the specifications of the SIM card output input contacts. The memory can store several international mobile subscriber IDs and individual subscriber identity module basic data. It can also store certain important information, such as user accounts and passwords of certain online services. These online services need to be logged in before they can be used. access. The processor can process data transmission or access operations, including installing a set of international mobile subscriber identity codes and subscriber identity module basic data in a multi-digit mobile subscriber identity SIM card or a memory therein. When the film SIM is attached to a SIM card and inserted into the SIM card slot of the mobile device 100, it can activate the mobile device 100 to access the international mobile subscriber identity code and the respective subscriber identity module basic data.

國際移動用戶識別碼管理硬體110具有數個重要的軟體或資料:一安全軟體系統111、一第一國際移動用戶識別碼112及一第二國際移動用戶識別碼113。安全軟體系統111是 管理這些安裝於行動裝置100之國際移動用戶識別碼與各別的用戶識別模組基本資料的角色。由國際移動用戶識別碼管理軟體120指示,安全軟體系統111能在一對應的國際移動用戶識別碼被認證後,透過一行動網路營運商提供的行動網路啟動一項服務。 The international mobile subscriber identity management hardware 110 has several important software or materials: a security software system 111, a first international mobile subscriber identity 112 and a second international mobile subscriber identity 113. Security software system 111 is The roles of these international mobile subscriber identity codes installed in the mobile device 100 and the respective subscriber identity module basic materials are managed. Instructed by the international mobile subscriber identity management software 120, the security software system 111 can initiate a service through a mobile network provided by a mobile network operator after a corresponding international mobile subscriber identity code is authenticated.

如上所述,在行動裝置100中,或更精確地定義,在國際移動用戶識別碼管理硬體110中能安裝有更多的國際移動用戶識別碼與其各別的用戶識別模組基本資料。其中兩個國際移動用戶識別碼很重要:第一國際移動用戶識別碼112與第二國際移動用戶識別碼113。第一國際移動用戶識別碼112可與一對應的用戶識別模組基本資料為國際移動用戶識別碼管理軟體120所選取,供該行動裝置100接受認證以進接網際網路。它也能在認證後啟用行動網路營運商提供之語音通話服務的訂購功能。有時候,第一國際移動用戶識別碼112能同時完成兩者。第二國際移動用戶識別碼113可與一對應的用戶識別模組基本資料為國際移動用戶識別碼管理軟體120所選取,供該行動裝置100接受認證以接收由至少一服務供應商(行動網路營運商的合約合作夥伴或行動網路營運商自己)所提供,來自至少一預先定義的統一資源定位地址(Uniform Resource Locator,URL)的服務,如第1圖所示。因為第二國際移動用戶識別碼113切換為有效狀態,提供網際網路服務或語音通話服務的行動網路營運商轉變他們的角色,由網際網 路服務供應商轉變為應用服務供應商。他們不必滿足當第一國際移動用戶識別碼112為有效狀態下的服務要求,但因第二國際移動用戶識別碼113,一個新的服務必須提供給。因此,網路中立性不再成為”應用服務供應商”的限制。要注意的是第一國際移動用戶識別碼112與第二國際移動用戶識別碼113能由不同的行動網路營運商所發出。然而,這不影響綁定到第二國際移動用戶識別碼113的服務之運作。 As described above, in the mobile device 100, or more precisely, more international mobile subscriber identity codes and their respective subscriber identity module basic materials can be installed in the international mobile subscriber identity management hardware 110. Two of the international mobile subscriber identity codes are important: the first international mobile subscriber identity 112 and the second international mobile subscriber identity 113. The first international mobile subscriber identity 112 can be selected with a corresponding subscriber identity module base data for the international mobile subscriber identity management software 120 for the mobile device 100 to accept authentication for access to the Internet. It also enables the subscription of voice call services provided by mobile network operators after authentication. Sometimes, the first international mobile subscriber identity 112 can do both at the same time. The second international mobile subscriber identity 113 can be selected with a corresponding subscriber identity module basic data for the international mobile subscriber identity management software 120 for the mobile device 100 to accept authentication to receive by at least one service provider (mobile network) The service provided by the operator's contract partner or mobile network operator itself, from at least one predefined Uniform Resource Locator (URL), as shown in Figure 1. Because the second international mobile subscriber identity 113 is switched to an active state, the mobile network operator providing the internet service or voice call service transforms their role by the internet Road service providers are transformed into application service providers. They do not have to satisfy the service requirement when the first international mobile subscriber identity 112 is active, but due to the second international mobile subscriber identity 113, a new service must be provided. Therefore, network neutrality is no longer a limitation of "application service providers." It is to be noted that the first international mobile subscriber identity 112 and the second international mobile subscriber identity 113 can be issued by different mobile network operators. However, this does not affect the operation of the service bound to the second international mobile subscriber identity 113.

統一資源定位地址,例如,第1圖的統一資源定位地址1、統一資源定位地址2與統一資源定位地址3,是定向的。這意味當一項服務提供時,在第二國際移動用戶識別碼113與對應的用戶識別模組基本資料認證後,服務供應商對所有來自行動裝置100的IP封包執行深度封包檢測(Deep Packet Inspection,DPI)。如果行動網路營運商(精確地定義,行動網路營運商用於啟動服務的基礎營運設施)找到一個IP封包的IP標頭不指向預先定義的統一資源定位地址其中之一,該IP封包將被捨棄。也就是說,只有到預先定義的統一資源定位地址之IP封包才能被送達目的地。藉由深度封包檢測,預先定義的統一資源定位地址可不僅限行動網路營運商想要為客戶開通的相關服務之統一資源定位地址,它也能由篩除某些行動網路營運商不想讓該服務的用戶訪問的統一資源定位地址而實現,例如,具有巨大網路流量的服務(如影音串流)或平台。 The uniform resource location address, for example, the uniform resource location address 1, the uniform resource location address 2, and the uniform resource location address 3 of FIG. 1 are directed. This means that when a service is provided, after the second international mobile subscriber identity 113 and the corresponding subscriber identity module basic profile authentication, the service provider performs deep packet inspection on all IP packets from the mobile device 100 (Deep Packet Inspection). , DPI). If the mobile network operator (precisely defined, the mobile network operator's basic operating facility for initiating the service) finds that the IP header of an IP packet does not point to one of the predefined Uniform Resource Locating Addresses, the IP packet will be give up. That is, only IP packets to a predefined Uniform Resource Locator address can be delivered to the destination. With deep packet inspection, the predefined Uniform Resource Locator address is not limited to the Uniform Resource Locator address of the relevant service that the mobile network operator wants to open for the customer. It can also be screened out by certain mobile network operators. The user of the service accesses a uniform resource location address, for example, a service with a large network traffic (such as a video stream) or a platform.

一統一資源定位地址具有一特定的服務。當該第二國際移動用戶識別碼113與對應的用戶識別模組基本資料被認證,該統一資源定位地址便被用來連接行動裝置100到國際移動用戶識別碼供應伺服器200。國際移動用戶識別碼供應伺服器200能儲存數個國際移動用戶識別碼與各別的用戶識別模組基本資料,它也能在接收來自國際移動用戶識別碼管理軟體120的一要求後,下載國際移動用戶識別碼對應的用戶識別模組基本資料,並安裝於國際移動用戶識別碼管理硬體110中。自國際移動用戶識別碼供應伺服器200下載的一要求的國際移動用戶識別碼所訂購的服務可包含許多態樣。舉例來說,一個國際移動用戶識別碼能被用來連接一雲端服務。其它的服務可以是影音串流服務、操作行動銀行服務、進接虛擬私人網路、網際協議通話技術(Voice Over IP,VOIP)服務、即時通訊服務,或國際漫遊服務。當然,服務必須透過特定的統一資源定位地址而提供。可以知道的是,還有許多服務的應用例子無法詳盡說明於此,單都在本發明的範圍中。 A unified resource location address has a specific service. When the second international mobile subscriber identity 113 and the corresponding subscriber identity module basic profile are authenticated, the uniform resource location address is used to connect the mobile device 100 to the international mobile subscriber identity provider server 200. The international mobile subscriber identity providing server 200 can store a plurality of international mobile subscriber identity codes and respective subscriber identity module basic materials, and can also download internationally after receiving a request from the international mobile subscriber identity management software 120. The basic information of the user identification module corresponding to the mobile subscriber identity code is installed in the international mobile subscriber identity management hardware 110. The service subscribed to by a required international mobile subscriber identity code downloaded from the International Mobile Subscriber Identity Assignment Server 200 can include a number of aspects. For example, an international mobile subscriber identity can be used to connect to a cloud service. Other services can be video streaming services, operating mobile banking services, accessing virtual private networks, Voice Over IP (VOIP) services, instant messaging services, or international roaming services. Of course, the service must be provided through a specific Uniform Resource Address. It will be appreciated that there are many application examples of services that are not exhaustively described herein, and are all within the scope of the present invention.

上述的服務,包含語音通話服務,可以被視作由一對應的國際移動用戶識別碼認證後才啟動。換句話說,每一國際移動用戶識別碼與對應的用戶識別模組基本資料都綁定一項特定的服務。然而,在行動裝置100中,一個時間只有一個國際移動用戶識別碼能處於有效狀態。不被國際移動用戶識別碼管理軟體120選取的國際移動用戶識別碼就不處於 有效狀態,而是在待命狀態。本發明的一個特點是除了綁定到第一國際移動用戶識別碼112與對應的用戶識別模組基本資料的服務外,其它所有的服務限定於使用有限流量。藉由這種安排,行動網路營運商不再是個啞道管,透過第一國際移動用戶識別碼112提供幾乎不限流量的使用給他們的免費增值客戶,享用其它OTT的服務。 The above service, including the voice call service, can be considered to be initiated by a corresponding international mobile subscriber identity code. In other words, each international mobile subscriber identity code is associated with a corresponding subscriber identity module basic profile with a particular service. However, in the mobile device 100, only one International Mobile Subscriber Identity can be in an active state at a time. The international mobile subscriber identity code not selected by the international mobile subscriber identity management software 120 is not located. The active state is in the standby state. One feature of the present invention is that all services except those bound to the first international mobile subscriber identity 112 and the corresponding subscriber identity module profile are limited to the use of limited traffic. With this arrangement, the mobile network operator is no longer a dumb channel, and the first international mobile subscriber ID 112 provides almost unlimited traffic to their free value-added customers and enjoys other OTT services.

本發明的另一個特點是如果語音通話服務啟用,且國際移動用戶識別碼(無論哪一個國際移動用戶識別碼)由國際移動用戶識別碼管理軟體120所切換,則該語音通話服務在切換後維持可使用狀態。這特點能以如下的方式達成。所有下載與安裝的國際移動用戶識別碼都有相同的移動台國際用戶識別碼(Mobile Subscriber International ISDN Number,MSISDN)。因此,所有的國際移動用戶識別碼處於一種同時振鈴狀態。一旦一通語音通話透過移動台國際用戶識別碼傳入,每一國際移動用戶識別碼具有相同的權利來接該通語音通話,只要在行動裝置100中是處於有效狀態。這特點確保所有語音通話在國際移動用戶識別碼切換後不被漏接。 Another feature of the present invention is that if the voice call service is enabled and the international mobile subscriber identity (whichever international mobile subscriber identity code) is switched by the international mobile subscriber identity management software 120, the voice call service is maintained after the handover. Available status. This feature can be achieved in the following manner. All downloaded and installed International Mobile Subscriber IDs have the same Mobile Subscriber International ISDN Number (MSISDN). Therefore, all International Mobile Subscriber IDs are in a simultaneous ringing state. Once a voice call is passed through the mobile station international subscriber identity, each international mobile subscriber identity has the same rights to receive the voice call as long as it is active in the mobile device 100. This feature ensures that all voice calls are not missed after the International Mobile Subscriber Identity Code is switched.

由以上的說明可以很明顯地看出國際移動用戶識別碼管理軟體120在本發明中也是重要的角色。國際移動用戶識別碼管理軟體120能運作來切換國際移動用戶識別碼,供接收各別的服務。它也能運作來要求一個特定的國際移動用戶識別碼自國際移動用戶識別碼供應伺服器200下載,用於各別服 務的訂購。管理軟體120切換國際移動用戶識別碼的方法藉更新行動裝置100中的國際移動用戶識別碼與對應的用戶識別模組基本資料而執行。換句話說,當一組國際移動用戶識別碼與對應的用戶識別模組基本資料新近獲得綁定服務的認證,前一個處於有效狀態的國際移動用戶識別碼將被關閉,以完成切換程序。 It will be apparent from the above description that the international mobile subscriber identity management software 120 is also an important role in the present invention. The International Mobile Subscriber Identity Management Software 120 can operate to switch international mobile subscriber identity codes for receiving respective services. It can also operate to require a specific international mobile subscriber identity code to be downloaded from the International Mobile Subscriber Identity Server server 200 for each service. Ordering. The method in which the management software 120 switches the international mobile subscriber identity code is performed by updating the international mobile subscriber identity code in the mobile device 100 and the corresponding subscriber identity module base profile. In other words, when a set of international mobile subscriber identity codes and the corresponding subscriber identity module basic data are newly authenticated by the binding service, the previous active mobile subscriber identity code will be closed to complete the handover procedure.

本實施例中操作系統的一個例子說明如下。請見第2圖與第3圖。一位用戶拿著安裝了第一國際移動用戶識別碼112、第二國際移動用戶識別碼113及各別的用戶識別模組基本資料的行動裝置100。在一開始,第一國際移動用戶識別碼112允許他使用語音通話,這是因為第一國際移動用戶識別碼112與對應的用戶識別模組基本資料已經發送到第一行動網路營運商的基地台設備並由其認證。如果第一國際移動用戶識別碼112進一步允許該用戶於認證後進接網際網路,該用戶現在能夠瀏覽網站或訪問伺服器,例如,一第一伺服器201,透過第一行動網路營運商的一第一行動網路301(如虛線箭號所示)。在與第一行動網路營運商的合約到期前,第一國際移動用戶識別碼112可被認證來使用不受限制的網路流量。網際網路服務也可以是使用特定的網路流量,本發明並未限定之。 An example of the operating system in this embodiment is explained below. Please see Figures 2 and 3. One user holds the mobile device 100 on which the first international mobile subscriber identity 112, the second international mobile subscriber identity 113 and the respective subscriber identity module basics are installed. In the beginning, the first international mobile subscriber identity 112 allows him to use the voice call because the first international mobile subscriber identity 112 and the corresponding subscriber identity module basic profile have been sent to the base of the first mobile network operator. The device is certified by it. If the first international mobile subscriber identity 112 further allows the subscriber to enter the Internet after authentication, the subscriber can now browse the website or access the server, for example, a first server 201, through the first mobile network operator. A first mobile network 301 (shown by a dashed arrow). The first international mobile subscriber identity 112 can be authenticated to use unrestricted network traffic before the contract with the first mobile network operator expires. The internet service may also use a specific network traffic, which is not limited by the present invention.

當用戶想要使用其它的線上服務時,他應啟動行動裝置100中的國際移動用戶識別碼管理軟體120。雖然國際移 動用戶識別碼管理軟體120是無形的,但它確實運作於行動裝置100中並於行動裝置100螢幕上顯示一介面。用於說明的目的,顯示於介面上的圖標(icon)藉國際移動用戶識別碼綁定的服務而簡化。例如,國際移動用戶識別碼1指向綁定第一國際移動用戶識別碼112與其對應的用戶識別模組基本資料之服務,國際移動用戶識別碼2指向綁定第二國際移動用戶識別碼113與其對應的用戶識別模組基本資料之服務,等等。在這階段,僅國際移動用戶識別碼1圖標與國際移動用戶識別碼2圖標出現在螢幕上。當點擊國際移動用戶識別碼2圖標時,”下載其它服務”的服務就會啟動。行動裝置100被觸發以發出要求,經由第一行動網路301給國際移動用戶識別碼供應伺服器200,要求一組綁定到用戶想要服務的國際移動用戶識別碼與各別的用戶識別模組基本資料。在這例子中,該用戶發出兩次要求給兩個服務。國際移動用戶識別碼供應伺服器200下載一第三國際移動用戶識別碼114、一第四國際移動用戶識別碼115及各別的用戶識別模組基本資料,以安裝於行動裝置100中。此時,螢幕上將出現另外兩個圖標:一國際移動用戶識別碼3圖標與一國際移動用戶識別碼4圖標。 When the user wants to use other online services, he should activate the international mobile subscriber identity management software 120 in the mobile device 100. Although international The mobile subscriber identity management software 120 is intangible, but it does operate in the mobile device 100 and displays an interface on the mobile device 100 screen. For illustrative purposes, the icons displayed on the interface are simplified by the services bound by the International Mobile Subscriber Identity. For example, the international mobile subscriber identity code 1 points to a service that binds the first international mobile subscriber identity 112 and its corresponding subscriber identity module basic data, and the international mobile subscriber identity code 2 points to the second international mobile subscriber identity 113. User identification module basic information services, and so on. At this stage, only the International Mobile Subscriber Identity 1 icon and the International Mobile Subscriber Identity 2 icon appear on the screen. When the International Mobile Subscriber ID 2 icon is clicked, the "Download Other Services" service will be activated. The mobile device 100 is triggered to issue a request to the international mobile subscriber identity provider server 200 via the first mobile network 301, requesting a set of international mobile subscriber identity and individual subscriber identity modules bound to the subscriber's desired service. Group basic information. In this example, the user issues two requests to two services. The international mobile subscriber identity providing server 200 downloads a third international mobile subscriber identity 114, a fourth international mobile subscriber identity 115 and respective subscriber identity module basics for installation in the mobile device 100. At this point, two other icons will appear on the screen: an International Mobile Subscriber ID 3 icon and an International Mobile Subscriber ID 4 icon.

該第三國際移動用戶識別碼114與其對應的用戶識別模組基本資料用來接受第一行動網路301基地台設備認證,以便之後該行動裝置100能存取一第二伺服器202。第二伺服器202提供付款的線上銀行服務,它由一統一資源定位地址所 參照,且該統一資源定位地址是在第三國際移動用戶識別碼114與其對應的用戶識別模組基本資料認證完成後才提供。統一資源定位地址的內容在一註冊程序完成後可進行存取。該註冊程序可能需要一組使用者名稱及密碼。然而,它們可以為第三國際移動用戶識別碼114與對應的用戶識別模組基本資料。也就是說,只要第三國際移動用戶識別碼114被國際移動用戶識別碼管理軟體120選取成為有效狀態,該線上銀行服務就能自動開啟。此時,第一國際移動用戶識別碼112、第二國際移動用戶識別碼113與第四國際移動用戶識別碼114都關閉。 The third international mobile subscriber identity 114 and its corresponding subscriber identity module basic data are used to accept the first mobile network 301 base station device authentication, so that the mobile device 100 can access a second server 202 thereafter. The second server 202 provides an online banking service for payment, which is provided by a unified resource location address For reference, the uniform resource location address is provided after the third international mobile subscriber identity code 114 and its corresponding subscriber identity module basic data authentication are completed. The content of the Uniform Resource Locator address can be accessed after a registration process is completed. The registration process may require a set of usernames and passwords. However, they may be the third international mobile subscriber identity 114 and the corresponding subscriber identity module base material. That is, as long as the third international mobile subscriber identity 114 is selected by the international mobile subscriber identity management software 120 to be in an active state, the online banking service can be automatically turned on. At this time, the first international mobile subscriber identity 112, the second international mobile subscriber identity 113 and the fourth international mobile subscriber identity 114 are both closed.

依照本發明的精神,使用的行動網路不限於第一行動網路301。第一行動網路營運商可以和第二行動網路營運商約定,販售第二行動網路營運商約定的國際移動用戶識別碼及其綁定的服務。該第四國際移動用戶識別碼115與對應的用戶識別模組基本資料被用來接受一第二行動網路302基地台設備的認證,以便之後行動裝置100能連接及存取一第三伺服器203。第三伺服器203提供有限網路流量與遊玩時間的線上遊戲,它是透過第二行動網路302的唯一服務來源,如果用戶要玩該遊戲就必須下載第四國際移動用戶識別碼115。第三伺服器203由一統一資源定位地址所參照,且該統一資源定位地址在第四國際移動用戶識別碼115與對應的用戶識別模組基本資料被認證後才提供。很明顯地,行動裝置100在認證後, 透過特定的行動網路接收每一特定服務。第三伺服器203無法經由第一行動網路301被訪問或存取。第二伺服器202也不能經由第二行動網路被存取。這樣可以保護每一行動網路營運商的利益。 In accordance with the spirit of the present invention, the mobile network used is not limited to the first mobile network 301. The first mobile network operator can agree with the second mobile network operator to sell the international mobile subscriber identity code and its bound service as agreed by the second mobile network operator. The fourth international mobile subscriber identity 115 and the corresponding subscriber identity module basic data are used to authenticate the base station device of the second mobile network 302, so that the mobile device 100 can connect and access a third server. 203. The third server 203 provides an online game of limited network traffic and play time, which is the only source of service through the second mobile network 302, and the fourth international mobile subscriber identity 115 must be downloaded if the user wants to play the game. The third server 203 is referred to by a uniform resource location address, and the uniform resource location address is provided after the fourth international mobile subscriber identity 115 and the corresponding subscriber identity module basic data are authenticated. Obviously, after the mobile device 100 is authenticated, Receive each specific service through a specific mobile network. The third server 203 cannot be accessed or accessed via the first mobile network 301. The second server 202 is also not accessible via the second mobile network. This protects the interests of every mobile network operator.

本發明揭露的系統最好由單一行動網路營運商營運,這意味行動網路營運商可架設國際移動用戶識別碼供應伺服器200並準備行動裝置100(無論它是智慧型手機或平板電腦)與第二SIM卡113一起販售,或各別地銷售第二SIM卡113(或下載第二國際移動用戶識別碼)於用戶來運作該系統。在切換第一國際移動用戶識別碼到第二國際移動用戶識別碼的過程中,行動網路營運商能轉換它們的角色,由網際網路服務供應商變為應用服務供應商。用戶透過行動網路的網際網路進接所造成的流量會減少,但卻不受網路中立性規範的制約。於此同時,用戶能找到更多服務並選擇其中有利他們的服務。當然,安裝的國際移動用戶識別碼可僅用於其它國家的語音通話服務。當這國際移動用戶識別碼之一為有效狀態時,用戶能在不同國度享用各別的語音通話服務,這使得語音通話漫遊但支付在地費用成為可能。 The system disclosed by the present invention is preferably operated by a single mobile network operator, which means that the mobile network operator can set up the international mobile subscriber identity provider server 200 and prepare the mobile device 100 (whether it is a smart phone or tablet). The second SIM card 113 is sold with the second SIM card 113, or the second SIM card 113 is separately sold (or the second international mobile subscriber identity code is downloaded) to operate the system. In the process of switching the first international mobile subscriber identity code to the second international mobile subscriber identity code, the mobile network operator can convert their roles from the Internet service provider to the application service provider. Traffic caused by users' Internet access through the mobile network is reduced, but is not subject to network neutrality specifications. At the same time, users can find more services and choose the services that benefit them. Of course, the installed International Mobile Subscriber ID can only be used for voice calls in other countries. When one of the international mobile subscriber identity codes is active, the subscriber can enjoy a separate voice call service in different countries, which makes it possible to roam the voice call but pay the local fee.

雖然本發明已以實施方式揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內,當可作些許之更動與潤飾,因此本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention, and those skilled in the art can make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
