Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a procedure as defined in the preamble of claim 1 and to a system as defined in the preamble of claim 7 for the indication of an active telephone subscription in a mobile station.
  • Dual Numbering subscriber identity module Dual Numbering SIM
  • PIN code personal identifying number
  • All calls to/from the terminal are transmitted via the currently active subscription.
  • Each subscription has its own telephone num- ber as well as personal identifying numbers.
  • AoC advice-of-charge
  • a problem with the above-mentioned use of mobile subscriptions is that the user of the terminal cannot see which subscription is currently active. The user of the terminal must turn the device off and on again and give the personal identifying number for the desired subscription every time he/she forgets which subscription is active and wants to use a given subscription.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks referred to above.
  • a specific object of the present invention is to disclose a procedure and system for indicating an active subscription via the subscriber terminal.
  • a further object of the invention is to simplify the use of a Dual Numbering subscriber identity module.
  • the telecommunication system of the invention for indicating an active subscription comprises a telecommunication network with a home location register (HLR) .
  • the home location register is needed for the maintenance of subscriber-specific information.
  • the system comprises a terminal and a subscriber identity module, preferably a SIM card (SIM, Subscriber Identity Module) connected to it.
  • SIM Subscriber Identity Module
  • the subscriber identity module is provided with storage areas for the storage of subscriber- specific information, such as subscriber numbers (MSISDN) and telephone network data.
  • MSISDN subscriber numbers
  • a distinctive identifier is stored in the module and the identifier for the active subscription is indicated on the terminal via the mobile communication network.
  • the identifier is stored in the advice-of-charge (AoC) storage area in place of call balance and currency designation.
  • AoC advice-of-charge
  • the advice-of-charge feature must be deactivated in the mobile services switching centre, so that making a call will not affect the advice-of-charge parameters or change the current identifier.
  • the invention makes it easier to ascertain the currently active subscription and allows it to be seen directly from the terminal, e.g. from the display of a mobile telephone. Furthermore, the invention allows a completely separate, distinctive identifier to be set for each subscription.
  • the user of the terminal after en- tering the PIN2 code required for modification of storage locations in the subscriber identity module, the user of the terminal manually sets and stores from his/her terminal a desired identifier for the subscription which recognises the PIN code in question, in the advice-of -charge storage locations.
  • the system of the invention comprises means for storing and changing identifiers distinguishing the subscriptions defined in the subscriber identity module and for indicating the identifier of an active sub- scription on a terminal via a telecommunication network.
  • the system comprises means for deactivating the advice-of-charge feature in the mobile services switching centre and for changing the identi- bombs of telephone subscriptions from the terminal.
  • the system illustrated by Fig. 1 comprises a telecommunication network 1 comprising a mobile services switching centre MSC and a home location register 2 connected to it. Moreover, the system comprises a terminal MS with a subscriber identity module SIM con- nected to it, the subscriber identity module being provided with storage locations 3 and 4 for the storage of subscriber and telephone network information.
  • the subscriber identity module SIM used is a Dual Numbering SIM card, with two separate GSM subscriptions connected to the same subscriber identity module. When the tele- phone is turned on, the subscription to be activated is selected by entering a subscription-specific PIN code to the terminal MS.
  • the information for the active subscription is identified and read using the advice-of- charge service (AoC) defined in the storage areas of the subscriber identity module, designed for displaying the currency name (three digits) and remaining call balance (six digits) for the subscriber identity module on the terminal .
  • AoC advice-of- charge service
  • the user is able to change the advice-of-charge data. For instance, in place of the currency name for one of the subscriptions, the user stores the name "JOB" and in place of the call balance the number "1". Next, in place of the currency name for the other sub- scription, the user stores e.g. the name "OWN" and in place of the call balance the number "2".
  • the advice-of-charge service (AoC) for these subscriptions is deactivated in the home location register 2 of the mobile services switching centre MSC, so the call bal- ance will not be changed when calls are made.
  • the terminal will display the identifier of the currently active telephone subscription.
  • the identifier is "JOB 1" or "OWN 2" .

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'indiquer un abonnement téléphonique actif dans un système de télécommunications comprenant un réseau de télécommunications (1) avec un enregistreur de positions de rattachement (2) permettant de garder des informations spécifiques aux abonnés, un terminal (MS), et un module d'identification d'abonné (SIM) connecté au terminal et pourvu de zones de stockage (3, 4) destinées au stockage d'informations abonné/réseau téléphonique. Selon l'invention, on stocke dans le module un identificateur distinct pour chaque abonnement défini dans le module d'identification d'abonné, l'identificateur de l'abonnement actif étant indiqué sur le terminal.
