Description

A method of constructing a communication system for the formation of a social network and a system for organizing telephone conversations and messaging between geographically close portable devices

The proposed invention relates to communication units and can be used as a technical tool for the construction of social networks.

In modern conditions, considerable attention is paid to the creation of networks of social communication between people. People become more and more closed, spend more and more time in traffic jams, communicate less, which should lead to the appearance of technical devices that would facilitate communication and acquaintance between people.

Widely known mobile phones, for example, working in the GSM standard. With the help of mobile phones, people can communicate outside rooms equipped with a wired telephone connection, for example, while in a car. One of the functions of mobile phones is the ability to send short text messages. Based on this function, the existing mobile communication services are built - providing acquaintances between users, i.e. services providing the formation of social networks.

A common disadvantage of the known mobile communication systems for creating social networks is the need for the first subscriber to find out the phone number of the second subscriber in order to transmit a short text message to the second subscriber or establish a voice connection. The very need to find out a phone number contradicts the task of building a social network, since a social network involves helping strangers to make contact. The second disadvantage of known mobile communication systems is the violation of

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) nonsense when trying to make contact by phone. The phone number of the second subscriber is known to the first subscriber, and in most cases, the second subscriber will know the phone number of the first subscriber when establishing a voice connection or receiving a text message. Such an anonymity violation may be unacceptable, as leads to the possibility of invasion of privacy.

Mobile services that provide the creation of social networks - dating between users, also have a number of disadvantages. To create social networks, to establish contact between strangers, registration of both subscribers in a database on a central server is required. When registering in the database, each subscriber indicates personal data (for example, age and gender). Then the first subscriber can send a request to the central server indicating the desired data for automatic selection of the second subscriber to try to establish contact. The central server finds in the database a second subscriber that is suitable for the parameters of the request and sends him a message with information that the first subscriber wants to establish contact. Until this moment, anonymity is respected. If the second subscriber agrees to establish contact with the first subscriber, he receives the telephone number of the first subscriber from the central server.

The disadvantage of this system is the weak protection of privacy - anonymity is respected only until the second subscriber agrees to establish contact with the first subscriber. The second drawback of such a system is the high degree of randomness in the selection of subscribers and the artificiality of the situation in which people who are at an arbitrary distance from each other in the mobile coverage area can make contact. Social networks created in this way are unstable and do not make a positive contribution to the social environment of modern cities.

There are known special cases of building systems that provide the construction of social networks and ways to establish communication between people.

The patent describes RU 2248040 a method for entering and searching information about an object by its individual distinguishing features in a remote database by encoding

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Messages sent by mobile devices. When implementing the method, encoding of messages transmitted by mobile communication devices and generated using a published classifier is performed. The identifiers of the individual distinguishing features of the objects are transmitted, by means of mobile communication messages, to the server on which the database of persons wishing to make acquaintance is generated, with the delivery of data via mobile communication.

The method described in RU 2248040, has all the disadvantages of the mobile dating services described above. The main disadvantage is the randomness in the selection of subscribers and the artificiality of the situation in which people who are at an arbitrary distance from each other in the coverage area of mobile communications can make contact, which can give good results for an individual acquaintance, but will hamper the construction of a wide social network. The disadvantages of the method of RU 2248040 are partially solved in patent RU 2164055.

Patent RU 2164055 describes a dating method based on verifying that the features of a person with whom they want to make acquaintance with a set of reference features set by a person who wants to make acquaintance are to be established. Mutual verification of individual signs is carried out using a portable device - a radio transmitting device, which everyone is equipped with, to get acquainted with and with the help of which they remotely exchange information about individual signs of persons. Information on individual characteristics of persons and reference information are recorded in the storage devices of portable devices. If there is a mutual affiliation of individual characteristics, the devices mutually generate warning signals and display the help information that the owners of the devices perceive on the display, then they recognize each other and make acquaintance.

That is, the means described in RU 2164055 will allow you to establish contact between people who are close to each other, but the possibility of establishing contact between people who want to make acquaintance is limited by information

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) stored in the memory of the storage device of personal devices. That is, the amount of information is limited by the memory capacity of the storage device and can easily be lost if the portable device is damaged, stolen or lost. Also, the number of users of a network created using devices created using RU 2164055 can be limited.

The proposed technical solution will eliminate the disadvantages of the above tools and will allow you to simulate the conditions for acquaintance of people, close to the traditional conditions of acquaintance, that is, the conditions for the general situation and close geographical distance between individuals, while ensuring the safety of information

The result expected from the use of the proposed technical solution is achieved by the fact that a method for constructing a communication system for forming a social network is proposed, as well as a system for organizing telephone conversations and sending messages between geographically close portable devices.

A method of constructing a communication system for the formation of a social network, includes the formation of a portable device signal "reach contact * and containing geographic coordinates and subscriber identifier. The portable device transmits a “reachable to establish contacts” signal. The subscriber ID is transmitted to the portable devices of each member of the group. On the screen of each portable device, simultaneously with the activation of the controls for the actions of the portable device, the subscriber’s identifier is displayed.

In contrast to the known technical solutions, the “reach contact” signal is transmitted from the portable device to the server. When a signal is “available to establish contact *, the server forms a group of portable devices based on their geographical proximity. On the screen of each portable device, simultaneously with the display of the subscriber ID, the means of controlling the actions of the portable device are activated, including at least the “call by phone *” action. When the action is activated, make a phone call * a telephone connection is established with the server using a single multi-channel number with a sequence of tonal or

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) other signals, including the identifier of any other subscriber selected from the group. Using the switch, a telephone connection is made to subscribers.

When implementing the method, a telephone connection of an arbitrary number of portable devices can be established with the transmission of broadcast messages to two or more subscribers.

The “contact reached” signal can be generated using the input device of the portable device, or automatically by the signal of the geographic coordinates determining unit when the average vehicle speed, for example, the vehicle of the owner of the portable device, falls below a set limit for a certain period of time.

On the screen of portable devices, together with the screen name of the subscribers, the distance to each subscriber can be displayed. Messages from portable devices can include information about speed and geographic coordinates and can be used to analyze average speed on sections of roads.

The system for organizing telephone calls and messaging between geographically close portable devices includes a set of N portable devices, each of which is equipped with means of audiovisual display of information.

Unlike well-known technical solutions, a system for organizing telephone calls includes a server and a set of portable devices.

Only those blocks of σσσσ that are necessary for understanding the principle of the invention are listed above.

According to a preferred use case, portable devices 2 are installed in automobiles, and server 1 is installed in a data center of a mobile operator.

A method of constructing a communication system for organizing telephone conversations and messaging between geographically close portable devices is practically implemented as follows.

Initial conditions: the first subscriber and the second subscriber, using the input device 11, turn on the signal 20 "Access to establish contact *. Alternatively, the mode “Access for establishing contact * can be automatically switched on by the control unit 12 by the signal 21 of the geographic coordinates determination unit 13.

The control unit 12 analyzes the specified signal, and in the case when the average speed of the car is less than a specified value (for example, 5 km / h) for a certain time interval (for example, 5 minutes), it automatically turns on the signal 20 "Access for establishing contact *. This corresponds to the situation when the subscriber’s car moves slowly in traffic, and the subscriber has free time for social communication, and the communication process will not distract the subscriber from driving because of the low speed. The signal 20 is permissive for the operation of the message transfer unit 16. The block 16 transmits messages to the server 1 with a specified frequency indicating the geographical coordinates of the vehicle and the subscriber identifier.

The message receiving unit 3 of the server 1 receives messages from portable devices 2. The control unit 8 analyzes the received information and combines the portable devices 2 into groups based on geographical proximity. The distance between the portable devices 2 is calculated based on the geographical coordinates transmitted as part of the message from each device. Suppose the portable device 2 of the first subscriber is located

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) less than X meters from the portable device 2 ^{1 of the} second subscriber. Here X is an arbitrary parameter of the system, for example, equal to 100 m. Additionally, the control unit 8 can take into account information about the direction of movement of portable devices 2, and form logical groups of portable devices moving in approximately the same direction.

The control unit 8 of the server 1 will form a logical group of devices 2 and 2 '. Message transfer unit 4 of server 1 will transmit to device 2 a message with the identifier and screen name of the second subscriber, and to device 2 ', a message with identifier and screen name of the first subscriber. The screen name of the subscriber can be a fictitious name or descriptive characteristic of the subscriber in the format of an alphanumeric string. The specified line is entered into the server 1 database in the process of registering subscribers.

The message receiving unit 15 of the device 2 transmits the identifier 22 and the screen name 23 of the second subscriber to the control unit 12. Similarly, the message receiving unit 15 'of the device 2' transmits the identifier 22 'and the screen name 23' of the first subscriber to the control unit 12 '. Next, we will describe the operation of portable device 2, because the operation of the device 2 'occurs symmetrically.

The control unit 12 displays the screen name 23 on the screen 10. Further, the control unit 12 submits an asynchronous request 24 to the data transfer unit 18. Request 24 is a request to transmit a digital file with a graphic image or symbol corresponding to the second subscriber. Request 24 includes the identifier of the second subscriber 22.

The data transfer unit 18 sends a request to the server 1, preferably in the HTTP format, using the GPRS, EDGE or ЗG protocol (depending on the protocol support by the mobile operator). If none of the data transfer protocols is currently available at this location, device 2 continues to operate without failure and preferably displays on the screen 10 next to the screen name 23 of the second party the symbol “Image is not available”.

In some embodiments, the request 24 for receiving a graphic image of the second subscriber may not be implemented.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) If a data transmission network is available, then a request 24 from the device 2 will be sent to the data receiving unit 5 of the server 1. The data receiving unit 5 transmits the request 24, including the identifier of the first subscriber and identifier 22 of the second subscriber, to the control unit 8. The control unit 8 allocates the identifier of the second of the subscriber 22 from the request 24 and sends the request 25 to the database unit 9. The database unit 9 searches by identifier 22 and sends to the data transmission unit b a digital sequence 25 including an encoded image or a second character cient. The encoded image or symbol of the subscriber is entered into the database during registration of the subscriber.

The data transmission unit b transmits the digital sequence 25 to the portable device 2. The data reception unit 17 of the device 2 receives the digital sequence 25 and asynchronously transfers it to the control unit 12. The control unit 12, having received the sequence 25, displays an image or symbol 26 on the screen 10 the second subscriber next to his screen name 23. Similarly, on the screen 10 'of the portable device 2' will display an image or symbol of the first subscriber.

In addition to the image and screen name of the subscriber, action control elements 44, for example, graphic images of buttons, are displayed on the screen 10 of the portable device. Various actions can be implemented, for example, “Send message ^“ Send standard text ”,“ Call back by phone ”. One skilled in the art will understand that the alphabet of these actions can expand, which does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition to these elements, on the screen 10 of the portable device can display additional information about the subscribers, such as the distance to the subscriber, the age of the subscriber, etc. The list of additional information may be expanded, which does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

If the first subscriber activates the “Send message” action control and enters the message text using input device 11, then input device 11 generates a signal 27 for control unit 12. Under the influence of signal 27, control unit 12 generates command 28 to message transmission unit 16. Block messaging 16 can transmit messages

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) connection to the device 2 'to the second subscriber. However, it is preferable that the transmission unit 16 transmits the message to the server 1, and server 1 has already transmitted the message to the second subscriber. At the same time, the anonymity of both the first and second subscribers with respect to each other is preserved.

If the first subscriber activates the “Send standard text” action control using input device 11, then input device 11 generates a signal 29 for control unit 12. Under the influence of signal 29, control unit 12 receives standard text 30 from memory unit 14 and generates command 28 in the message transfer unit 16. The message transfer unit 16 may transmit the message to the device 2 ′ to the second subscriber. However, it is preferable that the transmission unit 16 transmits the message to the server 1, and server 1 has already transmitted the message to the second subscriber. At the same time, the anonymity of both the first and second subscribers with respect to each other is preserved. The standard text is stored in the memory 14 using the input device 11 when setting up the device 2 during operation. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the number of standard phrases may exceed 1, and accordingly, the number of controls for transmitting the standard text action on screen 10 may exceed 1, and the control may include a graphic or text designation for the standard phrase.

If the first subscriber activates the control element “Call by phone * using input device 11, then input device 11 generates signal 31 for control unit 12. Under the influence of signal 31, control unit 12 generates signal 32 in telephone communication unit 19. Unit 19 establishes a telephone Connection to server 1 via a single multi-channel telephone number. After establishing a telephone connection, the control unit 12 transmits to the telephone communication unit 19 a sequence of digits 33, including the identifier of the second subscriber. Block 19 converts the sequence of digits 33 into a sequence of DTMF tones.

The switch 7 of the server 1 receives a sequence of tones corresponding to a sequence of digits 33, and transmits the decoded sequence 33 to the control unit 8. The control unit 8 generates a request 34 to the database unit 9. The request 34 includes

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) This is the second caller ID. Block 9 returns to the control unit 8 the telephone number 35 of the second subscriber. Block 8 transmits a command 36 to call the second subscriber to the switch unit 7. Command 36 includes the telephone number of the second subscriber. The switch 7 establishes a telephone connection with the device 2 'of the second subscriber, while the telephone number of the subscriber is a single multi-channel telephone number of the server 1. Thus, the first and second subscriber can talk on the phone, while maintaining anonymity with respect to each other. In the future, if they wish to disclose their own phone numbers to each other, they will be able to do this orally during the conversation. However, it is preferable that portable devices 2 and 2 'include on the screens 10 (10 ¹ ) an additional action control element “Tell my phone number”, activation of which will automatically transfer the telephone number of the opposite party and save the number in the memory of devices 2 and 2'.

If during the communication of the first and second subscriber by means of telephone conversations or sending text messages, the first subscriber wishes to disclose his own phone number to the second subscriber, the first subscriber activates the “Report my phone number” control. In this case, the input device 11 will generate a signal 37, in response to which the control unit 12 will generate a signal 38 for the message transfer unit 16. The message transfer unit 16 will transmit an overhead message to the server 1.

The message receiving unit 3 of the server 1 will transmit the received service message 39 to the control unit 8. Under the influence of the signal 39, unit 8 will execute a request 40 to the database unit 9. Unit 9 will issue a signal 41, including the telephone number of the first subscriber and the telephone number of the second subscriber. The control unit 8 will issue a signal 42 to transmit a message including the telephone number of the first subscriber to the device 2 ^{1 of the} second subscriber.

According to another use case of the present invention, the number of subscribers may be more than two. The first and second subscribers make contact by telephone, as described in the previous use case. The third subscriber activates the “Call by telephone” control element to the first subscriber using the input device 11. The device 11 generates a signal 45 for the control unit 12. Block 12 generates a signal 46 for the telephone block

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) 19. The telephone unit establishes a connection with server 1 by a single multi-channel number and transmits a sequence of tones, for example, DTMF, including the identifier of the first subscriber.

The switch 7 of the server 1 generates a signal 47 for the control unit 8. Under the influence of this signal, block 8 provides a signal 48 to the message transmission unit 4. Block 4 transmits a message to the portable devices of the first subscriber. These messages include the third party ID. The control unit 12 of the portable device of the first subscriber displays on the screen 10 or the voice notification device that the third subscriber wants to connect to the conversation. If the first subscriber agrees, he activates the corresponding control using the input device 11, and the device 2 transmits to the server 1 a consent message of the first subscriber using the message transfer unit 16. In response to this message, the switch 7 of the server 1 organizes a voice connection for the third the subscriber in the form of a conference call with the first and second subscribers.

For specialists, it is obvious that the number of subscribers in a telephone conference can be more than three, and the connection of subscribers to the telephone conference is similar to the connection of the third subscriber. Possible improvements to this process are also obvious, such as broadcasting invitations to participate in a teleconference to members of a subscriber group, maintaining a prohibition list for unwanted subscribers, organizing broadcasting of messages to subscribers who are members of a group or teleconference, etc. All these improvements are not new and do not limit the scope of protection of this invention. Variations in the method of connecting a third party to a conference call are also possible, for example, a request to connect to a conference is sent to server 1 not using a sequence of tone pulses, but using a text message or data transmission. A voice telephone connection can be made not from the subscriber’s side, but from the telephone switchboard side. Such changes are obvious to specialists and do not limit the scope of protection of this invention.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Thus, the described system implements a conference call mode for three or more subscribers, while maintaining the confidentiality of their telephone numbers.

In a further embodiment of the invention, information about the speed of a subscriber carrying the portable device 2 is not taken into account, but only geographical coordinates are taken into account.

In the following use case, geographical coordinates are not taken into account, but only the part of the system is used that ensures anonymity when sending messages or phone calls.

According to the following use case, the action list 44 includes the action “Save contact”. When you activate this action, the device 2 stores in memory the identifier of the second subscriber for future communication sessions. However, the actual phone number is not stored in the memory of the device 2, which ensures the protection of the personal data of the second subscriber. At the same time, this function allows the first subscriber to invite the second subscriber for social communication, regardless of geographic location or speed of movement of subscribers.

In a further use case, portable devices 2 are installed in automobiles. The screen 10 or input device 11 of the portable device includes alert elements 43. These elements include, but are not limited to, for example, actions such as transmitting to the server 1 information about the presence of an accident or malfunction of the road surface. When the first subscriber activates the alert element, server 1 receives from the device 2 the geographical coordinates and the event code (accident or road surface malfunction). Further, the server 1 can transmit messages to all devices 2, moving towards a geographical point transmitted by the first subscriber, containing a warning about the danger. It is clear to specialists that the alphabet of such notification elements is unlimited, and the notification method may include a graphical display of information on screen 10 or a synthesized voice warning played by device 2 upon a signal from server 1. The method of exchanging data between device 2 and server 1 is not significant

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) for the protection field of the present invention. Technicians also have obvious ways to improve notification mechanisms, for example, the use of voting algorithms in the analysis of incoming messages about dangerous situations in order to exclude single false messages; as well as the possibility of server 1 analyzing the sequence of coordinates received from each device 2 in order to determine the direction and average speed in order, for example, to alert only those subscribers who are moving in the direction of the danger point, rather than moving away from it . All such improvements do not limit the degree of protection of the present invention.

According to the next use case, server 1 uses information about the coordinates, direction and speed of movement of subscribers to generate operational information about traffic and difficulties (traffic jams). With the mass application of the described System, information about traffic difficulties will be statistically reliable. The specified information can be used to display, for example, on interactive maps or street information boards, indicating a forecast of travel times for certain sections of roads or recommendations for driving around sections of roads with a reduced speed. This information can also be transmitted to devices 2 for subscribers who are close to or approaching areas with reduced speed. As described in the previous use case, the methods for informing subscribers may be different, and do not limit the scope of the present invention.

It is clear to those skilled in the art that the message receiving and transmitting units, data receiving and transmitting units mentioned in this invention can be implemented as separate units, for example, radio modems, or as part of radiotelephones, GSM or CDMA cell phones, and also combine messaging and data transfer functions. In particular, SMS can be used for message transfer, and GPRS protocol for data transfer. Alternatively, data and messages can be transmitted over a single GPRS protocol. Said block for determining geographical coordinates may be implemented as a signal receiver of the satellite navigation system GPS or GLONAS,

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) or implement by requesting the service to determine the coordinates of a cellular communication company using the triangulation of signals from base stations of a cellular communication, or by any other known method.

Thus, this invention allows to solve the problem of building a secure social network using devices σv implemented in technology, based on publicly available communication networks. Personal privacy is guaranteed by the structure of the system, in which subscribers are anonymous and can only communicate their phone numbers to each other of their own free will. At the same time, the system does not allow using the anonymity functions for sending unauthorized and unwanted messages, such as intrusive advertising, anonymous threats, etc. The system models one of the fundamental and natural properties of human communication by organizing groups according to the principle of territorial proximity. Finally, the system can be implemented, including on the basis of standard services of mobile operators, which will allow operators to earn additional income by increasing the volume of paid services for sending messages, data and voice calls.
