Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of transmitting warning signals automatically as well as providing communications services related to the same for users of mobile devices operating in a network in which accurate determination of the geographic position of the mobile devices connected to the network is possible to a certain extent.
  • the following steps are taken: •at a point of the network available data relating to the accurate geographic position of the mobile devices being in active state are stored and updated at least at fixed or varying intervals T1 ; •at a point of the network geographic distribution profiles generated from the aforementioned data relating to the geographic position are stored, the geographic distribution profiles contain geographic distributions F(t) of the individual active mobile devices in relation to fixed or time variable geographic point(s) as a function of time; •at a point of the network predefined or varying user selection profiles are stored, the user selection profiles contain individual user data relating to users of particular mobile devices; •at a point of the network predefined or variable user communications profiles are stored, the user communications profiles contain transmission technique information required for transmitting warning signals and for providing related communications services j
  • the invention provides a solution for forming a complementary subsystem for mobile devices such as cellular phones, PDAs, etc. operating in a network.
  • the subsystem is suitable for providing value-added services to the basic functions of the particular network.
  • contact is established between two active subscribers connected to a given mobile telephone network if a logical system of conditions is satisfied to a certain extent.
  • profiles are assigned to each of the subscribers which contain personal information about the subscribers of the mobile devices. If this personal data set corresponds to similar data of another subscriber in a predefined manner and the distance between the mobile devices detected by the network is less than a predefined value the system initiates establishment of connection between the two subscribers.
  • the basic functions of the particular network e.g. a mobile network is utilized to establish a connection.
  • the aforementioned solution has several shortcomings. One of them is that notification is sent only to the two mobile devices involved in the relation of comparison, other stations or persons are not taken into consideration. This may be needed if the two mobile devices exceeding a certain limit come close to each other which is considered as an undesirable event due to the properties of the two devices, and actually in this case it would be advantageous to send a notice to a third place, for example a dispatch center.
  • Another shortcoming is that the method described in the aforementioned document is applicable only to find matching pairs, and it does not deal with compound spatial arrangement in which a plurality of mobile devices and possibly fixed geographic points are included.
  • Still another shortcoming of the document referred to above is that alarm is generated every time, even if coincidence of the geographic positions of two mobile devices takes place at a single point of time, for example when close position of the two devices is merely instantaneous or occasional, which may exclude the necessity of sending a warning signal. This could be the case for example if a certain period of time for two devices being close to each other is determined as a condition of sending a warning signal.
  • data relating to the geographic position of each and every mobile device being in active state is available in a network for example in a GSM cellular phone network.
  • Technical realization of this in the presently existing mobile networks is not a problem and as such it is not a subject matter of the present invention.
  • the present invention utilizes the user selection profiles described in the document previously mentioned, which are stored at a point of the network. These user selection profiles contain individual personal data and information of each of the subscribers or other data and information associated with a certain job.
  • communications rules are stored which on automatic transmission of a warning signal or subsequently determine the target place, the transmission channels, the mode and the nature of the protocol of execution for a communications event or series of events.
  • these communications rules apply not only to communications protocol between two mobile devices but also they may contain communications rules relating to different target places in three or even more directions.
  • user communications profiles are stored which contain transmission technique information required for transmitting warning signals automatically and for providing communications services in relation to the individual mobile devices. This information may contain for example the form (SMS, voice signaling, visual signaling, etc.), the duration, the delay time, etc. of the notification to be sent to the target place(s).
  • An essential aspect of the present invention is that the geographic distribution, the logical conditions originating from the user selection profiles and also the conditions representing a basis for comparison of the latter are handled time-dependant.
  • generation of a warning signal on fulfillment of a relative spatial distribution condition can be avoided, for example when nearness or spatial coincidence is of short duration or merely accidental. It is likely to happen for example when the users of the two mobile devices in question travel by trains coming from the opposite direction and they are near each other only for the time they go past each other. Then alarm in order to cancel the proximity state is not needed, and also there is no need for initiating a contact between the two devices.
  • the telecommunications infrastructure arrangement described in the preamble further comprises: •a database in which one or more predefined constant or variable combined systems of conditions and associated time-dependant conditions Ftarget(t) of similar nature relating to geographic distribution as well as predetermined constant or variable time-dependant relations dF(t) are stored, the combined systems of conditions are assigned to each group of mobile devices so that they consist of logical conditions interpreted on the basis of the user data contained in the user selection profiles and at least one predefined constant or variable time-dependant condition Ftarget(t) relating to the geographic distribution F(t), and the combined systems of conditions determine those predefined constant or variable time-dependant relations dF(t) between the user data contained in the user selection profile and the geographic distribution F(t) compared to the condition Ftarget(t) on simultaneous fulfillment of which a warning signal may be transmitted; •a module applicable to examine the combined system of conditions at fixed or variable intervals and to send a warning signal to the target place(s) in case of simultaneous fulfillment of the relations, and to initiate and in a
  • the server coupled to the network and servicing for operating the subsystem according to the invention should be able to make the logical comparisons required.
  • Certain similarity may be for example when a parameter is ranged somewhere in a 12 graded monotonous scale and discrepancy between the compared parameters is not more than 2. It may happen as a sub-case that the condition Ftarget(t) is of constant time- dependant at least periodically which means that criteria are changed only after a relatively long period.
  • Condition Ftarget(t) functions independent of time between the moments of change.
  • the examination of the time-dependant geographic distributions preferably takes place at least at predetermined intervals Tc.
  • Frequency of the examination may depend on the network, the server coupled to the network and the characteristics of the job collectively. For example in case of objects capable of changing of their place only slowly it is unnecessary to choose too short intervals Tc even if the capacity of the employed server or other means of computer technology would otherwise make it possible.
  • waiting-time Tk may be used as a special case for condition dF(t).
  • waiting-time Tk continuous fulfillment of condition Ftarget(t) is required for geographic distribution F(t) (as a part of the combined system of conditions) for the whole interval, in this way transmitting a warning signal in case of a short-term or accidental agreement can be eliminated.
  • waiting- time Tk exceeds a multiple of the interval Tc.
  • a single database can be used for storing the communications profiles, rules, user selection profiles and the geographic distribution profiles, or several separate databases may be used where the number of the databases may be less or even more than the number of the aforementioned different types of data (profiles, conditions, rules, distributions).
  • An example may be when transmission of a warning signal having a given content initiates a process, for example, when the cellular phone of an employee approaching his office is detected within a certain distance in which case an alarm with a certain format is generated and tempering of the office is started.
  • the number of the warning signals sent at the same time or within optionally chosen time intervals dT1 , dT2 dTn to a user is optionally limited to L1 , L2, ..., Ln where n is a natural number different from 0, and L1 , l_2, ..., Ln are natural numbers. This may be needed when a user would somehow receive too many warning signals.
  • the mobile service provider has a localization infrastructure 2 applicable to determine geographic positions. The details of it are not described in the present description.
  • the localization infrastructure 2 appears as a given source of information, and connection to the subsystem 4 according to the invention is first established at this point. Data relating to the geographic position are received by localization unit 5 contained in subsystem 4. Localization unit 5 transforms these data if necessary and stores them.

  • a further database 8 is provided for storing the combined system of conditions including those constant or variable time-dependant conditions Ftarget(t) in a changeable manner which are necessary for automatic transmission of a warning signal according to the aim of the invention. Also in this unit all those constant or variable time-dependant relations dF(t) relating to F(t) and Ftarget(t) are stored the fulfillment of which is a necessary condition for transmitting a warning signal.

  • the communications rules determine the target place(s) of the warning signal(s), the channels through which the warning signal(s) should be transmitted and also the mode of transmission.
  • the target place can be only one place or several places which are different from the places of two or more, fixed or mobile units examined by module 10.
  • An example for this may be a control center or a dispatcher center which can control not only the examined units but a whole set of mobile devices 1 handled by subsystem 4.
  • Event 14, i.e. transmission of a warning signal substantially implies subsequent provision of communications service.
