Description

Implementation method of personalized partitioning service

The invention relates to the field of mobile intelligent network communication, and particularly relates to an implementation method for realizing personalized partitioning service for terminal users in a mobile network such as a CDMA network, a GSM network and a PHS network by using an intelligent network. Background technique

The business products in the communication field have gained more and more attention and application. The traditional intelligent network services have been fully applied and achieved good market benefits. On this basis, it is necessary to introduce novel and more personalized value-added services.

The biggest characteristic of mobile network end users is their mobility, that is, the user may have different current location areas at different times. It is therefore necessary to introduce business-related products related to the user's location, enabling users to set up different value-added services within a specific personal area.

The basic feature of the general zoning service is that the operator pre-designates a certain area according to the operational needs to give voice discounts. When the user makes a call in these areas, the call charges will be given a certain discount. This zoning service provides operators with a means to increase traffic revenue in different areas. For example, in some areas, traffic is relatively low, making expensive communication equipment relatively idle and not fully utilized. At this time, the tariff preferential policies defined in the region can be used to stimulate users to use more communication services, increase traffic, and relatively increase operating income. Of course, it is also possible to define a relatively high tariff for an area where traffic is too high, so that the user's service usage in the area is reduced, and the system is prevented from malfunctioning due to overload.

As can be seen from the above description, this kind of zoning service provides a means for adjusting traffic to increase revenue from the perspective of the operator, and the terminal user can only passively accept the preferential area defined by the operator, and is related to the user. The sex is very low, and the preferential area defined by the system may not be suitable for you, or even there is no chance to go to the area. In the end, the user's autonomy is relatively low, and the enthusiasm for participation will be limited. Users cannot define personalized location areas according to their actual needs. Summary of the invention The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for realizing a personalized partitioning service for an end user, so that the terminal user can define a personalized location area by itself and obtain a system-defined value-added service within its personalized area.

To solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a method for implementing a personalized partition service, which is applied to an intelligent network system, and the method includes the following steps:

(a) The user subscribes to the intelligent network to personalize the partition service and set the personalized location area by itself, and the subscription information and the set personalized location area information are saved in the service database of the system;

(b) when the user initiates a call or receives an incoming call, the mobile switching center MSC where the user is located sends a call request to the service control point SCP through the service switching point SSP, and notifies the SCP of the current location information and user identification of the user;

(c) after receiving the request, the SCP searches for the subscription information of the user and the personalized location area information set by the SCP, and determines whether the user has registered the personalized partition service and its current location is in the personalized location area set by the user. If yes, perform value-added services related to the personalized location area, otherwise, according to normal call processing, end;

Further, the foregoing implementation method may further have the following features: In the step (a), the user sets the personalized location area by using the following automatic voice flow:

(al) The user who has registered the personalized zoning service dials the pre-set management access code and the service number of the system, and the MSC where the user is located initiates a call request to the SCP through the SSP, and carries the current location area information;

(a2) after receiving the request, the SCP obtains the identifier of the user, the service number dialed, and the current location information, and knows that the user wants to perform personalized localization, and determines whether the user has registered the personalized partition service. If yes, go to the next step, otherwise, refuse to set, end;

(a3) The SCP ends the location area containing the current location of the user as the personalized location area set by the user this time.

Further, the foregoing implementation method may also have the following features: The location information currently in the user is indicated by a cell number.

Further, the foregoing implementation method may further have the following features: the basic granularity unit of the personalized location area is a mobile communication cell, and each of the personalized location areas is a cell, and / or the location area of the system including a plurality of cells preset.

Further, the foregoing implementation method may further have the following features: The intelligent network system further sets a maximum number of personalized location areas that can be set by the user, and the SCP in the step 2) also determines the personalized location area that the user has set. Whether the number has reached the maximum number, and if so, the setting is rejected; the user must set a new personalized location area after deleting one or more of the set personalized location areas.

Further, the foregoing implementation method may further have the following features: The user identifier refers to the mobile terminal number of the user, and in the service database, the number is associated with the personalized location area set by the user.

Further, the foregoing implementation method may further have the following features: in the step (al), the user uses the mobile terminal to dial a management access code, and in the step (a2), the SCP obtains the mobile terminal from a call request sent by the MSC. Or; the mobile terminal number is input by the user in the automatic voice flow and transmitted by the MSC to the SCP.

Further, the foregoing implementation method may further have the following features: After the step (a3) of setting the personalized area is successful, the system further charges the user for the current setting and generates a bill.

Further, the foregoing implementation method may further have the following features: The value-added service related to the personalized location area performed in the step (c) refers to a value-added service that implements a preferential rate or a do not disturb for the voice service performed in the location area.

Further, the foregoing implementation method may further have the following features: In the step (c), when the system performs a value-added service related to the personalized location area, or performs processing according to an ordinary call, the user promptly gives a voice prompt to notify the user. Whether users can enjoy value-added services.

It can be seen that compared with the existing intelligent service, the invention enables the user to define the personal personalized location area autonomously, which is a truly personalized service. Operators are likely to attract more users to the network and increase personal traffic, thereby increasing operating revenue. In addition, the personalized location area can be set by an automatic voice process, which is very convenient. The implementation system of the present invention does not need to modify the existing communication core network equipment, and can be conveniently and quickly provided by simply entering the intelligent network device.

The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but not to limit the invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention is an intelligent network service implemented by an intelligent network system, which includes: a service management point SMP, a service control point SCP, a service management access point SMAP, and a mobile switching center MSC (including a gateway). The mobile switching center GMSC, which integrates the functions of the service switching point SSP), the home location register HLR and the intelligent peripheral IP. among them:

Service Management Point SMP, used to complete the management functions of intelligent network devices.

The service control point SCP is responsible for the specific implementation of the intelligent network service function.

The service management access point SMAP is used to provide a graphical human-machine interface to provide access management for intelligent network devices and systems and service data.

The home location register HLR is used to store the subscription information of the user's registered intelligent network service. The mobile switching center MSC is mainly responsible for call control and service switching, and can obtain the user's intelligent network subscription information through signaling and trigger the intelligent network call process. Support corresponding intelligent network protocols, such as: Wireless Intelligent Network WIN protocol or Mobile Intelligent Network CAP protocol, complete signaling interaction with SCP.

The intelligent peripheral IP is used to complete the function of playing and receiving numbers. It accepts the control of the service control point SCP and performs the operations specified by the SCP business logic of the service control point.

In order to implement the functions proposed by the present invention, the present invention adds a service database and a personalized logic unit to the above intelligent network system, wherein:

The service database stores a personal service account established for the personalized partition service user. The account can adopt the user's mobile terminal number, and the business account corresponds to one or more personal location area numbers. The basic granularity unit of the location area is the mobile communication cell number CELLID. Each location area may contain one or more cells. If it is a collection of multiple cell numbers, the composition of the set needs to be preset in the SCP system. Other related user information and business system level data can also be saved in the database. The business database is set on the SCP, but in other embodiments It can also be set up in a separate data system.

The personalized business logic unit is loaded on the SCP and is used to execute the personalized partitioning business logic. During the call processing process, the current location information of the user is extracted and compared with the personalized location area of the user to determine whether the location is relevant. Value-added services. In addition, in the automatic voice management process, automatic voice interaction with the user can be completed; and the user's personal personalized area setting and other account management function settings can be automatically completed according to the content input by the user, for example, can be managed The person sets the maximum number of personalized location areas that the user is allowed to set.

The following is a description of the voice call processing process of the user who has registered the service with the tariff discount as the value-added service in the personalized area. As shown in Figure 2, the following steps are included:

Step 101: The user who has registered the personalized partition service dials the called party or answers the incoming call by using the mobile terminal;

Step 102: The MSC where the user is located obtains the intelligent network service triggered by the call through the intelligent network subscription information of the HLR;

Step 103: The MSC sends a call request to the SCP through the SSP, where the mobile cell location information CELLID currently occupied by the user is carried;

Step 104: The SCP extracts the mobile terminal number and current location information from the received signaling, and searches for the subscription information of the user and the personalized location area information set by the SCP, if the user registers the personalized partition service and its current location. In the set personalized location area, step 105 is performed, otherwise, step 106 is performed;

Step 105: Apply a preferential rate to the call, and perform step 107;

Step 106: Perform normal call processing on the current call, and perform step 107;

Step 107: The SCP determines whether to set a service prompt to the user, if yes, go to step 108, if no, go to step 109;

Step 108: The system plays the prompt voice, prompting the user whether the call is a call in the personalized location area. For example, if the current call is a personalized location area call, the subscriber will enjoy the tariff discount; Step 109: The SCP instructs the SSP to continue the call. If the connection is successful, start the call;

Step 110: After the call ends, the SCP performs the rating by using the corresponding rate and generates a CDR of the CDR, and marks whether the call is a personalized location area call in the call list. Thereby, the voice call processing flow when the mobile terminal performs the voice service is ended. The personalized partitioning service can be implemented by the business logic unit, or can be implemented by the logic unit notifying another independent unit. For example, the above-mentioned tariff concession may also be made by the logic unit in the bill to determine whether it is an intra-partition call, and the discount policy rating function is completed by the accounting system.

Figure 3 shows a flow chart for a user to use the mobile terminal to perform user-friendly partitioning through an automated voice process, including the following steps:

Step 201: The user who registers the personalized partition service uses the mobile terminal to dial a preset management access code (for example, 1234567) and a service number, such as a number set by the system indicating that the personalized location area is to be set;

Step 202: The MSC where the user is located knows that the call should trigger the intelligent network service through the intelligent network subscription information of the HLR.

Step 203: The MSC sends a call request to the SCP through the SSP, where the CELLID of the cell where the user is currently located and the number dialed are carried.

Step 204: The SCP extracts the mobile terminal phone number, the dialed service number, and the cell location cell CELLID currently located by the user from the received signaling, and determines, according to the number dialed by the user, that the user wants to perform personalized area setting, first determining the Whether the user has registered the personalized partition service and has set the personalized location area to not reach the maximum number N, N is greater than or equal to 1, if yes, can be set, step 205 is performed, otherwise, the user is prompted not to set, and ends;

If the number of personalized location locales has reached the maximum, the user can continue to delete one or more location areas that have been set through the automated voice process, and then set a new location area.

Step 205: The SCP sets a personalized location area for the user according to the current location of the user, where the area may be the mobile communication cell where the user is currently located, or the system presets multiple cells including the current location of the user. Location area

Step 206: The personalized location area setting is successful, and a voice prompt "Your current location has been successfully set as a personal personalized location area" is issued;

Step 207: The SCP charges the user for the current setting and generates a CDR bill, and the process ends. Of course, the SCP can also not charge for this setup, but ends directly after the setup is complete. The value-added service in the present invention may be any location-related service launched by the operator, for example, in the embodiment, the call charge discount is obtained in the personalized location area, or the call-free interference is prohibited in the personalized area. . For DND-free value-added services, users can activate or deactivate them through an automated voice process.

It can be seen that compared with the existing intelligent service, the invention enables the user to define the individual personalized location area autonomously, which is a truly personalized service. For example, for the tariff concession service, when the user is in the residence, the residence can be set as a preferential area, and when the office is in the office, the office can be set as a preferential area, and when the user travels, the user can conveniently use the voice to The preferential area is changed to the current location, which is very suitable for the characteristics of the location business. Take the preferential service of the tariff as an example. By setting a personalized partition, the user's call fee will be discounted, and it is of great interest to the user. At the same time, due to the discounted call charges, operators are likely to attract more users to the network and increase personal traffic, thereby increasing operating income.

In another embodiment, the voice-receiving function of the intelligent network system is implemented by a voice resource module built in the MSC, and the voice resource module is also controlled by the service control point SCP, and performs operations specified by the service control point SCP service logic. .

The value-added services obtained in the user-specific partitions referred to in the present invention will not only be limited to tariffs, but also include other possible location-related value-added services.
