Abstract

The present Invention protects the method of ensuring protection of communication through SMS messages between an M2M device inside a self-service machine and a central system by way of mobile operator's public GSM network in case of late delivery or impossibility to deliver one or more SMS messages. This method provides improvement of quality of communication, and ensures unambiguous and timely transaction closure in an M2M system by using unique transaction identifiers of and time stamp.

Description

Method to achieve protection of the transaction in SMS communication for M2M devices
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The Invention pertains to the method to achieve protection of the transaction in SMS communication between an M2M device in a self-service machine and a central operating system, surveillance system or a system of another work aspect in a remote location through public mobile GSM network.
Classification according to the International Patent Classification (IPC):
H 04 L - transmission of digital information
H 04 M - telephonic communication
H 04 J - multiplex communication.
Technical Problem
So far a technical solution which allows a successful transaction execution between a central system and an M2M device in a self-service machine in such a way that a method ensuring unambiguity of transaction is used in only two or more steps of transaction execution in an M2M system has not been developed yet. For this reason, in case of late delivery or impossibility of delivery of one or more SMS messages, the central system was not able to distinguish unambiguously which transaction is the one that the SMS response message refers to. This situation causes several problems, such as transaction closure exceeding a determined time frame (time out), which undermines positive user experience due to the long waiting time of the SMS response message, or impossibility to use the requested service. On the other hand, the Service provider experiences a problem when the device enables the use of a service that the user will not be charged for.
State of the art
The currently known method of communication between a central system and an M2M device through SMS messaging in the public GSM network does not dispose of a developed method which ensures unambiguity of the transaction and/or a method ensuring that the transaction is not executable on the M2M device in a self-service machine or on the central system independently. Essence of the Invention
The primary purpose of the Invention is achieving protection of SMS communication between a central system and an M2M device in a self-service machine and thus improve the quality of communication and ensure unambiguous and timely transaction closures in the M2M system.
Brief Description of the Drawings
Figure 1 is the method of protection of transaction in SMS communication between a central system and an M2M device using the example of SMS-based billing of self-service machine use.
Figure 2 is the communication between an M2M device in a self-service machine and the SMS centre in the public GSM network via base station.
Figure 3 is the construction and the basic elements of an M2M device which will be embedded in the self-service machine.
Detailed Description of Implementation of the Invention
The detailed description of implementation is shown on the example of payments and use of services provided by self-service machines with embedded M2M device:
User sends an SMS message through mobile operator's public GSM network to the service operator's SMS centre requesting use of self-service machine. User enters the unique number of the device that one wishes to use, and the predefined service value (package type or amount) into the text message.
The central system receives the request for service usage from the user through SMS message and generates a UTI (unique transaction identifier) code, which is forwarded to all elements of the system and through all steps of the transaction until the transaction closure (end) on the central system.
By the presented method of protection of transaction execution, the M2M device for billing self- service machine usage, the„SMS coin acceptor", receives an SMS message containing the amount to be spent on the self-service machine, the unique transaction identifier (UTI) and the time stamp.
The M2M device verifies the content of the SMS message and executes request for service usage. During verification the M2M examines whether the SMS containing order for usage arrived in the predefined time frame, by verifying the value in the time stamp of the SMS message with Real Time Clock (RTC) and the defined value of the time frame. In case the SMS message containing order for use of self-service machine arrived to the M2M device exceeding the predefined time frame, the M2M device sends an SMS message containing status code (time out) and UTI number to the mobile operator's SMS centre. In this way, a correct transaction closure is ensured in the central system, as well as non-execution of the transaction, that is, of the usage of the self-service machine, without the approval and/or knowledge of the central system. In case of correct usage of the self-service machine, the M2M device sends an SMS message containing status code (time out) and UTI number to the mobile operator's SMS centre. In this way a correct transaction closure is ensured in the central system, as well as billing real usage of the self-service machine to the user by the service operator, charging the GSM mobile phone user's account.
Implementation of the Invention
The Invention can be implemented in all new and existing systems where transactions are executed, and communication between the billing system and the M2M device is realized through SMS messages. The Invention is applied in such a way that the above mechanism (described under Detailed Description of Implementation of the Invention) is incorporated in the SMS communication between the central billing system and the M2M device. Implementation of the present Invention ensures unambiguity of transaction, which prevents errors in transactions, which is hereby presented as the technical problem.

Claims

1. Method of communication through SMS messages between an embedded M2M device used for activating the use of service on a self-service device, M2M device containing all necessary electronic elements and circuits: programmable controller (1), GSM modem (2), SIM card (3), input interface (4) and output interface (5), wherein the active SIM card (3) enables GSM service of sending and receiving SMS messages on a GSM modem (2) from and to the central system through an SMS centre, and that SMS messages which contain information regarding the value of the requested service, the UTI number and the time stamp.
2. Method of communication according to claim 1, wherein the M2M device, during processing of the received SMS message, verifies whether the SMS containing order for usage arrived in the predefined time frame by verifying the value in the time stamp in the SMS message containing Real Time Clock (RTC) and the defined value of the time frame.
3. Method of communication according to claim 1, wherein the M2M device, after having processed the order for service usage, returns the information regarding status of service usage to the system by sending an SMS message containing status code and the UTI to the mobile operator's SMS centre.
