Description

Method and system for transmitting rich messages to a user mobile terminal

The present invention relates to a method and system for transmitting rich messages to a user mobile terminal. The recent advent of mobile phone terminals has allowed a considerable increase in the volumes of messages exchanged between them.

With the increase in message volumes, there has emerged the challenge of transmitting messages that are more and more complete, attractive and ultimately complex to implement, or at least to edit, at the level of currently operational mobile terminals.

Originally based on short messages, called SMS messages, for Short

Message Service in English, these messages were originally formed by text messages up to a few hundred bytes, and therefore readable because editable on the most rough mobile terminals, those with at least one LCD display.

The aforementioned SMS messages were then followed by MMS messages for Multi Media Message in English, messages which may contain text, images or sounds and which may be transmitted by a mobile telephone device.

Consequently, the technical problem of editing such messages or even more sophisticated messages that may contain, in particular, video sequences, html pages or other media objects such as VOIP sound or voice sequences, designated the most often rich messages, because of the complexity of the means necessary for the return of these media, on the one hand, and the heterogeneity of the parks of mobile telephone terminals of the current fleet, on the other hand. The aforementioned technical problem is also made more acute, even with respect to the most recent mobile telephony terminals, because of the disparity of rich messaging standards vis-à-vis the media format stake.

Beyond the rich EMS messaging hubs for Enhanced Message Service and MMS multimedia messaging, messaging enriched includes several types of enrichment compared to the simple text of SMS messages that can be summarized according to the table below:

The unsuccessful migration of the fleet of mobile telephone terminals towards the compatibility with the MMS messaging presents the risk, according to the authorized opinions, of a growing disinterest of the users of mobile telephony terminals for this type of messaging and a return in regression to SMS messaging.

The present invention relates to the implementation of a method and a rich message transmission system to facilitate the successful, progressive migration of the fleet of mobile terminals to compatibility with MMS messaging.

In particular, the present invention relates to the implementation of a method and a rich message transmission system, despite the lack of interoperability of services between the services of mobile operators. Another object of the present invention is, in addition, the implementation of a method and a rich message transmission system to circumvent the actual heterogeneity of the fleet of current mobile phone terminals. The method and the system for transmitting rich messages to a user mobile terminal, which is the subject of the present invention, consists respectively of allowing, for any mobile terminal user candidate, discriminating the technical, hardware and software characteristics of the home network and of the messaging infrastructure and the user technical profile of the candidate mobile terminal, decompose each messaging service associated with the candidate mobile terminal into basic functional messaging services, generate, for each user user terminal, a rich message service interface adapted, for each aggregating a plurality of basic functional messaging services according to the hardware and software technical characteristics of the candidate user mobile terminal, the home network and the messaging infrastructure and the user technical profile of the mobile terminal. the candidate user, transmitting to the mobile terminal user candidate, through the adapted rich message service interface, at least one rich message. The system, which is the subject of the invention, is also remarkable in that it comprises, at least, connected in a network, a management platform, decision center, connected in cut-off to said candidate user mobile terminal and adapted to the implementation of the method according to the invention mentioned above, by transmission of polling messages to the candidate mobile terminal, and, a polling agent, implanted at the mobile user terminal candidate, and for receiving at least one message scanner and transmit in response, to the management platform, a response message comprising a plurality of discriminator parameters of the candidate user mobile terminal.

The method and system of the invention are applicable to the industry of network transmission of rich messages to mobile terminals, telephone or other, of any kind and of any type.

They will be better understood by reading the description and by observing the drawings below, in which: FIG. 1 represents, for purely illustrative purposes, a flowchart of the implementation steps of the rich message transmission method, object of the present invention;

A more detailed description of the method of transmitting rich messages to a user mobile terminal, in accordance with the subject of the present invention, will now be given in connection with FIG. 1 and the following figures.

With reference to the above-mentioned figure, the transmission of rich messages, designated EM, to any candidate mobile user terminal denoted T _{K is considered} . In order to ensure the transmission of the aforementioned rich messages, the method, object of the invention, as shown with reference to FIG. 1, consists, in a step A, designated "Discrimination", to discriminate the technical characteristics, hardware and software of the home network and messaging infrastructures and the technical user profile of the candidate user terminal T _K.

In Figure 1, the hardware characteristics of the home network, messaging infrastructures and the user technical profile are designated H _K and the corresponding software technical characteristics are designated Si ₄ , according to relation (1)

(H _k , S _k ) T _k .

It is understood, in particular, that the hardware characteristics may relate in practice to the type of mobile terminal, transmission power, type of GSM connection or other type of subscription with a mobile network access provider, habits connection and preferences of the user of the mobile terminal T _k considered, for example.

The above-mentioned step A is then followed by a step B, designated "decomposition", of breaking down each messaging service associated with the candidate user mobile terminal Tk into basic messaging services.

The decomposition operation of step B is noted according to relation (2)

MS _km € T _k → {MS _kme }.

By decomposing into basic functional messaging services of each messaging service associated with the candidate terminal T _k , it is understood that the particular nonlimiting embodiment of such a decomposition can consist in determining the type of mobile terminal user of the mobile terminal. candidate user considered and to define, for each type of specific terminal, basic functional messaging services constituting the latter, as will be described in more detail later in the description.

Step B is then followed by a step C of generating, for each candidate user terminal T _k , a suitable rich message service interface, by aggregating a plurality of elementary functional messaging services, according to the characteristics hardware and software techniques of the candidate user terminal Tk, the home network and the messaging infrastructure, as well as the technical user profile of the aforementioned candidate mobile terminal.

In FIG. 1, the operation designated "interface management" is represented by the relation (3)

T _k <→ EIF ₁ = {MSk, _ri f} {MS _kni f} = {MS _gmt }. In the previous relationship, ElF _k designates the adapted rich message service interface dedicated to the candidate user terminal T _k ;

{MS _kmf } denotes the set of basic functional messaging services constituting the rich message service interface dedicated to the candidate user mobile terminal Tk;

{MS _gmf } designates, for example, a subset of features of a plurality of basic functional library messaging services selected to constitute the set of basic functional messaging services constituting the message service interface. rich dedicated to the mobile terminal candidate T user _k. The aforementioned library may advantageously be constituted by a library stored in a database, as will be described later in the description.

Following the transmission by the mobile terminal candidate user of a communication request to a decision center, and following the execution of steps A, B, C above, step C is followed by a step D , designated "Transmission", of transmitting to the candidate terminal T _k , through the adapted rich message service interface EIFk, at least one rich message EM.

Step D of FIG. 1, the transmission of the enriched message EM via the adapted rich message service interface EIF _k is represented by the relation (4)

EM → EIf _k → T _k .

A more detailed description of the implementation of discrimination step A, shown in FIG. 1, will now be given with reference to FIGS. 2a and 2b. For the implementation of step A of FIG. 1, consider the candidate mobile terminal T _k whose call telephone number is known and for which the inclusion list, designated "Optin" has been confirmed by a decision center, as represented in step Aj, of FIG. 2a by the relation (5) ke L _k . It will of course be understood that the access request of the candidate terminal has thus been verified and validated as lawful by comparison of identification parameters, for example with the inclusion list L _k mentioned above.

The above-mentioned step Ai is then followed by a step A ₂ of transmitting to the candidate user mobile terminal T _k at least one primary polling message SM _t allowing the transmission, in response, of a plurality of parameters of the mobile terminal. candidate user.

In step A ₂ , the transmission and response operation is denoted by the relation (6) Transmission SM _t - »T ^ Answer (DPk _x ) \ Z ^ <- Tk.

In the previous relationship:

SM _t denotes a scanner message such as the primary scanner message, t denotes the rank of this scanner message,

{DPk _λ } ^x _x Zf denotes a set of discriminator parameters of the candidate user mobile terminal T _k .

Step A ₂ is followed by analysis step A ₃ of analyzing the discriminator parameters by comparison with reference parameters consisting of a plurality of groups of mobile terminal profiles.

In step A ₃ , the analysis operation is represented by the relation (7)

{DP kx} U = i '""^" F ¹ ^ L {RP _y }> ^{= 1} x <→ y. In the previous relationship {RP _y } ^ f represents a set of reference parameters consisting of a plurality of mobile terminal profile groups; represents the operation of comparing the discriminator parameters with the reference parameters; x "→ y represents the mapping of discriminating parameters of the candidate mobile terminal T ^ to reference parameters. Step A ₃ , is then followed, in response to the process of analyzing, a step A4, of classifying the candidate mobile terminal user Tj, as belonging to at least one of the mobile terminal profile groups corresponding to the reference parameters.

In step A ₄ of FIG. 2a, it is understood, in particular, that at the candidate terminal T _k the classification operation makes it possible to match at least one of the groups of mobile terminals mentioned above.

The classification operation is, for this reason, represented by the relation

(8) k <→ g e [1, G].

In the preceding relation g denotes the identification index of a group of reference mobile terminals, of all the groups of reference mobile terminals [1, G].

The analysis operations, step A ₃ , of classification, step A ₄ , and transmission of at least one other secondary scanner message of rank t greater than the previous one can then be repeated as long as a classification quality threshold criterion of the candidate user mobile terminal T _k is not satisfied.

In FIG. 2a, the repetition operation of the steps A ₃ , step A ₄ and step A ₂ can be represented in an illustrative manner by a test step A ₅ , making it possible, for example, to verify the aforementioned quality criterion according to the relation (9)

T _k € g?, The satisfied quality criterion making it possible to conclude that the mobile user terminal Tk belongs to one of the groups of reference terminals.

On positive response to the test of step A ₄ , it is considered that the discrimination of the parameters of the candidate mobile terminal T _k is sufficient, the set of hardware parameters H _k and software Sk can then be assigned with a good level of confidence in candidate mobile user terminal T _k , for passage to step B.

On the contrary, on a negative response to the test of step A ₅ , the return to the transmission step A ₂ is carried out via a step A ₆ and a test step A ₇ aimed at controlling the number of polling messages transmitted successively. This number can be taken as T, less than six or seven for a mobile terminal given candidate user. The negative answer to the test A7 is followed by the return to the transmission step A ₂ .

On the contrary, the positive response to the test A ₇ is followed by a return to the positive response to the test A ₅ , the candidate mobile user terminal T _k being considered to belong to at least one group of mobile terminals.

Thus, according to a remarkable characteristic of the method which is the subject of the invention, each secondary scanner message SM _t may advantageously be parameterized either by a cost discrimination parameter in number of transmitted secondary scanner messages, as described with the test A ₇ , or by a best choice parameter of the terminal classification among several groups of mobile terminal profiles or by the number of secondary polling messages attached to the type of home network of the mobile terminal candidate user. It is thus clear that the aforementioned parameterization makes it possible to execute the classification quality threshold criteria. A more detailed description of the analysis step A ₃ shown in FIG. 2a will now be given below with reference to FIG. 2b.

In a general manner, and according to a remarkable aspect of the method which is the subject of the invention, it is indicated that the step of analyzing the discriminator parameters by comparison with reference parameters is carried out in fuzzy logic. This procedure is noted FL in Figure 2a above.

To carry out the above-mentioned analysis step and in particular the above-mentioned fuzzy logic comparison operation, the operating mode consists, as shown in FIG. 2b, in applying all the discriminator parameters {DPkx} ^λ to an engine of inference itself fed from a set of fuzzy logic rules.

The inference engine, using the above fuzzy logic comparison, then makes it possible to map each of the discriminator parameters and the reference parameters according to the relationship: {χ "y} k" g ^e [i, G]. In general, it is indicated that the fuzzy logic execution and the analysis of the discriminator parameters by comparison with the reference parameters comprises at least the interpretation of the fuzzy logic rules by the inference engine to generate a hierarchical variable. representative of the membership of the candidate mobile terminal T _k to one of the mobile terminal profile groups.

With reference to FIG. 2b, and step A4 of FIG. 2a, it is indicated that the aforementioned hierarchical variable can be associated on the one hand with the index k representative of the candidate user mobile terminal T _k and can correspond to the group index g as mentioned previously in the description, on the other hand. In addition, the fuzzy logic rules forming the fuzzy logic rule set comprise a sequence of logical predicates of the type premisses / conclusions including a comparison by ranges of values of the discriminator parameters and reference parameters.

It is of course understood that the aforementioned value ranges form the fuzzy logic variables and the fuzzy logical reference parameters.

The table of a sequence of logical predicates that can be used for the establishment of fuzzy logic rules is given below:

• if A is xi and ... and B is yi then C is Zi and ... and D is Wi

• if A is X ₂ and ... and B is y ₂ then C is Z ₂ and ... and D is W ₂ •

• if A is X _n and ... and B is y _n then C is Z _n and ... and D is W _n

In the aforementioned table, A, B, C, D designate fuzzy variables and xi, yj, zk, wl denote values or conclusion terms by comparison in fuzzy logic.

With reference to the above table, there is a system of logical equations in which:

- the number of rules in the system is a function of the number of terms in the conclusions;

For a number of terms of the fuzzy variable A equal to NA, the number of rules is equal to NA * NB * ... * NM where M and the number of fuzzy variables in the conclusion. With regard to the implementation of the basic functional messaging services constituting each messaging service associated with the candidate mobile terminal, it is indicated that these are those associated with each group of mobile terminal profiles. In addition, the adapted rich message service interface ElF _k is that of one of the mobile terminals constituting the plurality of groups of mobile terminal profiles.

With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2a, 2b above, it is understood that the method which is the subject of the invention makes it possible, in a first step, step A, to carry out a complete inventory of the various constitutive components of a mobile telecommunications service, when the latter is designed and deployed to know:

The mobile terminal: its processing, display and support characteristics for standards that can be used or used;

~ home network and messaging infrastructure: • type of messaging service: SMS, email, WAP, MMS;

• media type: SMS, CSD, HSCSD, GPRS;

• peculiarity of relay equipment and routing (SMS-C, WAP gateway, MMS-C, GGSN);

• the profile of the user seen through the services subscribed by the latter: WAP, email, GPRS, etc.

It is furthermore understood that in a second step of the "Decomposition" step B this step allows the decomposition into functional units still referred to as "micro services" of all the telecommunications services proposed at present or in the near future by example. The decomposition operation carried out in step B makes it possible to highlight the divisions, and consequently the relevant interfaces that make it possible to operate coherent assemblies from functional blocks originating from the various services internal to the decision-making center or external to the latter, through an access channel through services from partner service providers, such as Internet or other Internet service providers. These services can be offered through open standard interfaces such as the OSA Open Services Access interface in English respectively Web services interface.

Finally, in step C of FIG. 1, the interface management operation makes it possible to deploy the service whose main characteristic is the adaptation character of the latter to the environment conditions of the transmission of messages. rich to the mobile terminal user candidate T _k , namely:

- the user: according to the subscription component (subscribed services, usage preferences) of the latter;

- the service provider operator: according to the access network component implemented CSD, HCSD, GPRS, EDGE, 3G and the messaging services offered by the latter (SMS, EMS, email, WAP, MMS);

The candidate mobile terminal user: resources and processing and display capabilities, adequacy to the aforementioned messaging standards.

The method according to the invention thus makes it possible, unlike the current known processes, in which only the content of the messages is processed for the simple display by the mobile terminal, to develop an unprecedented telecommunications service by discrimination and appropriate interaction. with technical and functional characteristics or relating to the use of the mobile terminal user candidate and the user of the latter. An example of classification of groups of mobile terminals for defining the set of reference parameters {RP _y } ζ ^ implemented in the analysis step A ₃ and in the classification step A ₄ of the mobile user terminal candidate T _k in at least one group of reference mobile terminals will now be given below. In general, the number of groups of mobile terminals G may advantageously be equal to 7, according to the classification table below:

From reading the aforementioned table, it is understood that each of the groups of reference terminals comprises there functions of decreasing degree of sophistication. The first group corresponds to the most elaborate functions and functionalities, and the last or second last group corresponds to the primary quality functions of GSM mobile telephone terminals.

An example of a type of reference user mobile terminal normally commercially available at the moment and the membership of this type of mobile terminal to the groups, that is to say to at least one of the aforementioned groups, is given below. after: group 1: Nokia 6630 terminal, Samsung D 500E terminal; Group 2: Sony Terminal - Ericsson K700i; group 3: Ericsson terminal t68i; Group 4: Nokia 1100 newer terminal; Group 5: Motorola C 350 terminal, Ericsson t39m terminal; group 6: less recent Nokia 1100 terminal; Group 7: Sagem RC 712 terminal.

When a candidate mobile terminal belongs to one or more groups, the final classification adopted is managed by the fuzzy logic comparison process, in particular based on criteria relating to the user.

A more detailed description of an EM rich message transmission system to a candidate user mobile terminal T _k will now be given in conjunction with FIGS. 3a and 3b. As has been shown in FIG. 3a, the system comprises, connected in a network, a management platform 1, decision center, connected in cut-off mode to the candidate user mobile terminal T _k . By connection, in break it is understood that the decision center 1 or management platform is adapted to receive any request communication of a candidate terminal T _k considered then retransmit this request to a remote server for example and then ensure any communication between the terminal Tj ₄ and the remote server, in a manner known as such.

Of course, the management center decision-making platform 1 comprises discrimination resources by transmitting SM message _t scans to the candidate mobile terminal T _k hardware and software characteristics of the network attachment and messaging infrastructure and user technical profile the candidate user mobile terminal considered.

The system which is the subject of the invention, as represented in FIG. 3a, furthermore comprises decomposition resources of each messaging service associated with the candidate user mobile terminal T _k in the service of elementary functional messaging and creation resources, for the terminal candidate user, a suitable rich message service interface, the EIF interface _k previously mentioned in the description. Naturally, the abovementioned interface creation resources operate by aggregating a plurality of basic functional messaging services, according to the hardware and software technical characteristics of the candidate user mobile terminal, the home network and the messaging infrastructure and the network. user profile of the aforementioned candidate user mobile terminal, as previously described in the description.

The system that is the subject of the invention represented in FIG. 3a further comprises a polling agent, denoted AS, this polling agent being implanted at the mobile user terminal T 1. The latter makes it possible to receive at least one scanner message and to transmit in response to the management platform a response message comprising a plurality of discriminator parameters of the candidate user mobile terminal T _k , as described previously in the description.

As can be seen from FIG. 3a, it can be seen that the management center decision-making platform 1 is connected to the telecommunication network designated Réseau Télécom via an OSA gateway and an OTA gateway and different modules. MSC, GGSN, SMS-C and MMS-C designating respectively: OTA: Over The Air in English for transmission by air;

MSC: Mobile Switching Center in English for mobile service switch;

GGSN: Gateway GPRS Support Node in English for Transit GPRS Node;

SMS-C: Short Message Service Center in English for Short Message Service Center;

MMS-C: Multimedia Message Service Center in English for Multimedia Message Service Center. The decision-making center formed by the management platform 1 furthermore comprises, as represented in FIG. 3a, a library of services relating to mobile messaging, denoted BS, relating to the mode of access to the OSA or OTA service and to the mode access to the Web service, as well as various messaging functions such as semantic analyzer, expert system for example. The management platform 1, which forms the decision-making center, is also connected to a secure ASP infrastructure that allows access to functional modules such as enrichment of Enrich ® designated messages, rich message alert or even application modules. designated mobile services MAPs.

The management platform 1 forming the decision-making center is finally connected to different Internet service providers, referred to as ISPs in FIG. 3a, these Internet service providers being as diverse as a provider of financial management, game management and other services. infotainment or control and evaluation for example.

The enumeration of the aforementioned Internet service providers is not limiting.

As furthermore shown in FIG. 3b, the management platform 1 forming the decision center is advantageously constituted by a connected computer server, as previously described in connection with FIG. 3a.

A preferred nonlimiting architecture of the server constituting the management platform 1 is shown in FIG. 3b above, in which the same references designate the same elements as in the case of FIG. 3a. The aforementioned architecture is in fact established between two EAI system interfaces of XML type to ASP secure infrastructure, OSA or OTA access methods or processes, on the one hand, and Web service access methods or processes, on the other hand.

In addition, the interface of the management platform 1 to the telecommunications network is realized via SMS module, SMS text module, STK proactive SMS module and binary SMS module via an SMS gateway. and the SMS-C short message service center enabling access to the various terminals, such as the basic terminal, proprietary WAP terminal, Java terminal, STK terminal 99, point-to-point WAP terminal, EMS terminal and MMS or PDA terminal, and as shown illustratively in Figure 3b.

It is the same for the interface of the management platform 1 vis-à-vis the same terminals above, via module WAP point module

EMS, MMS module and Http wireless module through corresponding Proxy and Multimedia Message Service Center designated MMSC for Multimedia Message Service Center in English.

Finally, note the existence, in the management platform 1, a message referral module according to the nature of the latter, a processing module of these messages such as SMS processing, GPRS processing , EDGE treatment, UMTS processing, for example. The management platform 1 finally includes the service library and, of course, the rule inference engine and an IMEI manager, the international mobile equipment identity manager for International Mobile Equipment Identity. The IMEI manager is of course relayed to a first DBl database of terminals and international mobile equipment identity and the rules inference engine is also connected to a second DB2 database of rules applicable in fuzzy logic.

The advantage of implementing two types of gateway OSA gateway or bridge OTA is the fact that each message scrutineer MS _t can be contracted, built and delivered via the OSA gateway or OTA gateway, according to criteria specific to the expert system of the service library BS, using the fuzzy logic system FL.

A more detailed description of a user mobile terminal enabling the implementation of the method and system that are the subject of the invention will now be given with reference to FIG. 3c.

Of course, the mobile user terminal object of the invention comprises a central processing unit CPU with which is associated a SIM card, a program memory, non-volatile, denoted MEM PROG and a working memory of the type

RAM. The mobile terminal object of the invention conventionally comprises a display screen such as the video display screen SC and a keyboard noted KB.

An input-output interface circuit denoted I / O makes it possible to connect the aforementioned circuitry to the radiofrequency processing and reception circuits not shown in the drawing.

According to a remarkable aspect of the mobile terminal which is the subject of the invention, it comprises an AS scanning agent implanted, in a first implementation mode, at the non-volatile program memory and designated AP and of course memory. and designated EAP, when using the mobile terminal object of the invention.

Preferably, the scanning agent is constituted by an applet denoted AP. written for example in Java language. This applet is directly executable and cooperates with the SIM card of the mobile user terminal, for the implementation of the method of the invention and the system as described above in the description.

Preferably, and according to a remarkable aspect of the mobile terminal object of the invention, the scanning agent AP is adapted to the reception and the processing of SMS-type scanning messages, the SM messages _t previously described in the description, intended for the SIM card of the user mobile terminal.

In particular, the scanner agent AP is adapted to receive and process SMS-type scanner messages intended for the SIM card of the mobile user terminal by proactive control in network mode. In addition, according to a second embodiment, shown in dashed lines in FIG. 3c, the scanning agent AS can also be implemented in the form of a SIM AP application in the SIM card itself. The above-mentioned scanning agent AP SIM is then in charge of the processing of the message scanning messages SM _t intended for the SIM card.

It is recalled, in particular, that the referral on receipt of a short message, including SM _t scans, to the mobile phone itself or the SIM card is performed according to a standard process (standard GSM / SIM TOOLKIT) known from the state of the art, and which, for this reason, is not described in detail. This switching being carried out, the scanner message St is received, either by the candidate user mobile terminal T _k , or by the SIM card of the latter. The polling agent AP or EAP of the mobile terminal candidate user T _k or AP SIM of the SIM card executes the analysis and response operations represented in step A ₂ of FIG. 2a by means of an SMS message. designated SMS MO, for Mobile Originated in English, for example.
