  • the invention relates to a method for registering a terminal or a terminal connection in a telecommunications or data transmission network, and a
  • the invention relates to a terminal in this communication network, which enables the method to be carried out.
  • terminal connection is used in an abstract sense.
  • the technical means necessary for connecting a terminal are referred to below as network termination.
  • the connection devices up to the junction box already exist for a potential customer. If it is a terminal device that is 'connected' wirelessly (such as GSM), the base station is already available here. This means that the network termination is often already physically available, but no connections can be established from there, since there is no connection authorization (i.e. no contract between customer and network provider and therefore no service).
  • terminal connection or short connection, is understood to mean the entirety of the technical requirements which are required for the correct establishment of connections and transmission of messages from / to a specific terminal in a communication network and which are specific to a terminal, including the data stored for this.
  • the object of the invention is to enable the user of a communication terminal to carry out the registration and registration of a terminal connection completely from a terminal and the relevant terminal connection.
  • the communication or data network includes a network termination on the user side, also called a network end point (network termination). This is not released in the non-registered state. After connecting any end device (PC, mobile phone, telephone, ...) to the communication or data network via this network endpoint, it is only possible to establish a connection to a next node or higher-level server, which can carry out a registration procedure.
  • This higher-level server must at least contain information about the services possible with this service provider or network operator. The customers will then be informed.
  • the transmission protocol used for the transmission depends on the type of communication network concerned and the type of terminal connected.
  • a very simple solution is a menu-driven announcement, in which the individual menu items are then selected using DTMF.
  • This information about the configuration of the terminal connection desired by the user, together with the customer information (name, address, bank details) is also referred to below as registration information.
  • the registration information transmitted by the potential customer via the network is received by the higher-level server and has to be stored and processed there. This evaluation and conversion into the required format for the registration information can take place without further intervention by an operator.
  • the relevant terminal device connection can then be marked in the database of the server as released, or the deactivation can be canceled.
  • a terminal suitable for the procedure according to the invention must in particular have means for determining, storing, evaluating and transmitting registration information.
  • so-called usage-related data can be determined, for example services frequently used by the user.
  • this data is additionally transmitted to a service provider so that the latter can provide network access that is optimally adapted for the user.
  • An essential prerequisite for the method according to the invention for registering a terminal connection is the availability of a transmission option for registration data to a service provider.
  • This can be implemented, for example, in the form of a “registration protocol”, via which only one destination address - that of the service provider - can be controlled.
  • This destination address can be known on the end device side (the user enters the number in the end device or knows the end device or the network end point) ' the number) .
  • Certain data must be transferable for the service provider, in particular for the billing of the desired services (e.g. name, address, bank details).
  • additional information about the configuration of the desired connection can be included, so that a user-specific login to a service provider is possible.
  • the customer specifies additional conditions, eg B. the search for the cheapest provider.
  • additional usage information such as the frequency of international connections or the usage frequency at certain times, can be used for evaluation.
  • the higher-level server must then use this additional information to determine the most suitable service provider / network operator for the customer.
  • This ⁇ security 'server can be identical to the higher-level server of the service provider (who carries out the registration procedure), e.g. B. if only one possible service provider exists in the network. However, it can also be a server that is independent of the service provider / network operator.
  • the data required for encryption is entered here regardless of the registration process; prior, one-time registration is necessary.
  • the end device used by the customer has certain features.
  • ⁇ best 'service provider determines more information about the ⁇ user habits'.
  • the user can enter this himself to the best of his knowledge, but this can also be determined independently over a longer period of time using a suitable end device.
  • These user habits include information about the type of transmission desired (more voice or data transmission), duration and destinations ( ⁇ local calls 'or ⁇ long distance calls').
  • preferably used services such as conference calls, call forwarding etc. can be registered. When a new terminal connection is registered, this terminal is now connected and independently transmits the information previously collected during the registration process.
  • the user habits are not transmitted from the terminal to the higher-level server. Instead, the evaluation takes place in the suitable terminal, which is known during the registration process, the registration information of the available service providers / network operators.
  • a connection to selected further numbers for example emergency numbers such as the police, fire brigade or emergency doctor, is permitted on a terminal connection which is not registered.
  • a connection to the network access provider is also conceivable, in the form of a hotline, where questions (such as compatibility of the terminal, tariffs etc.) can be clarified before registering a connection.
  • This preset logoff time can still be checked by the central server and can also be postponed using a similar procedure.
  • the number of service providers is constantly increasing.
  • the different service providers differ in the Usually by their tariffs and / or by the range of services. It is therefore desirable for the customer to be able to choose between several service providers in order to choose the most suitable one.
  • the terminal can therefore offer a possibility of displaying the services offered, in particular if the customer can choose between several service providers. Many possibilities are conceivable here, such as the use of the surface of the already widespread Internet browser on a computer or the display of a cell phone.
  • This collection of selected or preferred services can be entered by the user during each registration process or initially.
  • This procedure is e.g. B. useful if the display and input options of the terminal are limited, such as a mobile phone.
  • Another option is a 'learning' user profile, which logs every change in user behavior (in addition to the services used, the time and place distribution of the connections and / or data transfers performed) and can be used if necessary (i.e. when the next registration process is carried out) .
  • This user profile can be located in the terminal, which the user must then carry with him when changing location.
  • Another option is to store this user profile with the service provider. This makes sense if either the same provider is selected again when moving or if the different providers are networked and exchange data.
  • the customer's end device can be used, for example, to transmit a 'private code' as an identification code.
  • An even more secure method requires the prior storage of a signature or a key with a reliable server, in which, as with the PGP encryption method, which is already known for data transfer on the PC, the data that has arrived from the server during the registration process Be authenticated to the other side.
  • the figure shows an exemplary structure of a network.
  • UE terminal
  • This terminal can have a display device (DIS) and will usually have an input option (TAS).
  • TAS input option
  • the terminal can now be connected to a communication network via a connection option (NT, Network Termination).
  • This connection option can, for. B. be a TAE socket, but also a mobile station such as the D or E network
  • any transport network e.g. B. conventional telephony, mobile telephony (different network operators and different transmission protocols used and
  • ⁇ in the case of packet-oriented networks are also possible.
  • the network entity (TMN server) provided by the service provider treats the request made by the user by informing about the available services, registering the requested services and making agreements about the billing of the desired services.
  • This network architecture is also called an intelligent network in a telephone network. This architecture makes it possible to recognize certain connection or transmission requests and to treat them separately according to predefinable rules. This requires, on the one hand, special switching nodes in the network, which recognize these calls, and, on the other hand, higher-level servers, which contain the rules for handling these calls and for which one Switching nodes can retrieve the information required for this.
  • a connection to the responsible service provider can be established simply by using the connection (lifting the telephone handset or the modem, 'off-hook'). This is done without first dialing a digit of a destination number, simply by recognizing the source of the call by the higher-level server.
  • the higher-level server then also negotiates the conditions for the desired connection. This can be done with the help of the html protocol, for example, if a PC or similar is connected to the user side (possibly only for this purpose at short notice). If the customer data is located on this central server, only the entry of the central server has to be changed after verification of the received customer data to such an extent that regular transmissions and target numbers other than the selected hotlines are now possible. The newly registered connection is then immediately ready for use. In the other case, data must be compared beforehand. List of abbreviations
