Description
MÉTODOS Y SUS COMPONENTES PARA IDENTIFICAR EQUIPOS CELULARES IRREGULARES QUE NO DEBEN OPERAR EN NINGUNA RED CELULAR EN UN PAÍS O GRUPO DE PAÍSES I. CAMPO TÉCNICO DE LA INVENCIÓN METHODS AND ITS COMPONENTS TO IDENTIFY IRREGULAR CELLULAR EQUIPMENT THAT MUST NOT OPERATE IN ANY CELLULAR NETWORK IN A COUNTRY OR GROUP OF COUNTRIES I. TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a métodos y sus componentes de identificación de equipos celulares que no deberían estar en funcionamiento en las redes celulares de los operadores en un país o grupo de países, por tratarse de celulares robados, hurtados, alterados, adquiridos ¡legalmente, que no estén homologados y que estén siendo operados por personas que no son propietarias de los mismos o que se hayan adquirido y puestos en funcionamiento mediante alguna acción dolosa. II. OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN The present invention relates to methods and their components for identifying cellular equipment that should not be in operation in the cellular networks of operators in a country or group of countries, since they are stolen, stolen, altered, legally acquired cell phones, that are not homologated and that are being operated by people who do not own them or that have been acquired and put into operation through any malicious action. II. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
El objeto de la invención es dotar de métodos y sus componentes para la identificación de equipos celulares, que no deberían estar en funcionamiento en las redes de comunicaciones celulares de ningún operador a nivel país o grupo de países; por tratarse de equipos activos mediante alguna acción dolosa (por tratarse de celulares robados, clonados, alterados, adquiridos ¡legalmente, que no estén homologados en el país y que estén siendo operados por personas que no sean propietarias de los mismos). III. ESTADO DE LA TÉCNICA The object of the invention is to provide methods and their components for the identification of cellular equipment, which should not be in operation in the cellular communications networks of any operator at the country or group of countries level; for being active equipment through some malicious action (because they are stolen, cloned, altered, legally acquired cell phones that are not homologated in the country and that are being operated by people who do not own them). III. STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
Actualmente, se requiere que los usuarios reporten a su operadora sobre los incidentes con sus equipos celulares (robo, hurto, pérdida, cambio), de esta manera, los operadores mantienen actualizada la información en sus Bases de Datos, realizan los bloqueos correspondientes en sus redes de acuerdo a lo reportado por los usuarios y transmiten esta información a la entidad reguladora para que consolide un registro nacional de celulares que no deben estar en uso.
Dicha información queda disponible para todos los operadores de determinado país, para que actualicen sus listas negras y así se evita que un teléfono reportado y bloqueado en un operador pueda estar activo en otro operador. Dicho mecanismo puede extenderse a más países mediante el establecimiento de convenios de intercambio de listas negras, con ello un teléfono bloqueado no podrá operar en ningún operador dentro de los países del convenio. Pero, no todos los casos son reportados por los usuarios afectados y el resultado es que las listas negras no estarían convenientemente actualizadas. Currently, users are required to report their incidents to their operator with their cellular equipment (theft, theft, loss, change), in this way, operators keep the information updated in their Databases, perform the corresponding blockages in their networks as reported by users and transmit this information to the regulatory entity to consolidate a national registry of cell phones that should not be in use. This information is available to all operators in a given country, so that they update their blacklists and thus avoid that a telephone reported and locked in one operator can be active in another operator. This mechanism can be extended to more countries through the establishment of blacklist exchange agreements, thus a blocked telephone cannot operate in any operator within the countries of the agreement. But, not all cases are reported by affected users and the result is that blacklists would not be properly updated.
Se han realizado otros estudios para generar métodos implementados por software para lograr detectar y bloquear el servicio de equipos celulares informales o fraudulentos, a continuación se detallan algunos métodos que forman parte del estado de la técnica. Other studies have been carried out to generate methods implemented by software to detect and block the service of informal or fraudulent cellular equipment, below are some methods that are part of the state of the art.
En el documento patente EP0918444 se describe una metodología para identificar celulares de procedencia dolosa, fraudulenta o clonada. Para este fin el método utiliza la información que de forma regular comprende todo sistema celular de telefonía móvil, toda compañía de telecomunicaciones operadora de un sistema celular genera, mantiene y actualiza bases de datos con la información que identifica a los equipos formalmente, legalmente y homologados vendidos, como también la información del usuario o abonado que ha contratado un servicio. EP0918444 describes a methodology to identify cell phones of malicious, fraudulent or cloned origin. For this purpose, the method uses the information that regularly includes all cellular mobile phone systems, every telecommunications company operating a cellular system generates, maintains and updates databases with the information that identifies the equipment formally, legally and homologated. sold, as well as the information of the user or subscriber who has hired a service.
El método, fundamentalmente utiliza los mensajes de solicitud de identificación que envía el sistema con cierta frecuencia y cuya frecuencia está establecido en cada sistema de la compañía operadora, de modo que cada equipo terminal se identifica y luego de ello se inicia el conteo del temporizador para repetir la operación, dicha identificación llega con información del equipo, de usuario y localización, pero si dicho registro de
identidad, aparece antes del periodo de tiempo establecido por el temporizador, entonces se tiene a un equipo terminal sospechoso. The method basically uses the identification request messages that the system sends with a certain frequency and whose frequency is established in each system of the operating company, so that each terminal equipment is identified and then the timer count starts to repeat the operation, said identification arrives with information of the equipment, user and location, but if said registration of identity, appears before the time period set by the timer, then you have a suspicious terminal equipment.
En el documento US6370373, se describe otra metodología para localizar y segregar equipos celulares de dudosa procedencia o fraudulentos en funcionamiento. De igual manera, aprovecha la data que se genera en un sistema celular en funcionamiento y procesa dicha información para lograr la identificación de los equipos fraudulentos. La invención propone método para detectar los celulares clonados, para esto el sistema detecta los celulares clonados mediante el seguimiento a los tiempos y posición en los cuales se generan las Notificaciones de Registro de un mismo MIN. y se reporta cuando la diferencia de tiempo entre tales notificaciones es mucho más corta que el razonablemente apropiado para tales notificaciones con respecto al MSC causante. In US6370373, another methodology is described to locate and segregate cellular equipment of doubtful origin or fraudulent in operation. Similarly, it takes advantage of the data that is generated in a functioning cellular system and processes that information to achieve the identification of fraudulent equipment. The invention proposes a method to detect the cloned cell phones, for this the system detects the cloned cell phones by monitoring the times and position in which the Registration Notifications of the same MIN are generated. and it is reported when the time difference between such notifications is much shorter than that reasonably appropriate for such notifications with respect to the causing MSC.
En el presente método, hay una unidad de procesamiento denominada PSMS, que viene a ser el administrador de fraude y el criterio que maneja para la segregación e identificación de los fraudulentos o clonados, es: el tiempo y la ubicación; por ejemplo notificaciones REGNOT, originadas con el mismo MIN en diferentes localizaciones, con un tiempo insuficiente para trasladarse entre ambas ubicaciones. In the present method, there is a processing unit called PSMS, which becomes the fraud administrator and the criterion that it handles for the segregation and identification of fraudulent or cloned ones is: time and location; for example REGNOT notifications, originated with the same MIN in different locations, with insufficient time to move between both locations.
En el documento US20160150413, se describe un método para la identificación de equipos terminales clonados. Para esto, el método utiliza la información de tiempo y ubicación de los equipos recabada por el sistema celular, funcional de modo estándar. Esta información es registrada cada cierto tiempo por el sistema en su funcionamiento normal y permite llevar un registro de la ubicación de los equipos y sus funcionamiento, de manera tal, que muy bien se puede determinar el tiempo en que un móvil estuvo en un primera ubicación y luego en otro momento en el que se encuentra en otra ubicación, porque dicha información es levantada por el sistema de forma reiterada y a rangos de tiempo fijados por el sistema celular; de manera tal,
que se puede determinar en cuanto tiempo dicho móvil se movió de una ubicación a otra, si dicho tiempo está por fuera de lo razonable se puede proceder a su bloqueo, por considerarse clonado. En el documento patente US6377791 , básicamente, la invención describe un método que controla los intervalos de tiempo en los cuales se generan las notificaciones, mensajes de "llamada" o peticiones de identidad, las que de forma regular se emiten temporalmente a un lapso de tiempo fijo, entre la central celular y el equipo terminal. Este mensaje lleva la identidad del equipo terminal, por tanto, cuando dicha información llega identificando al equipo en un tiempo mucho más corto que el regular, entonces se considera un equipo sospechoso o clonado. Se aprovecha la información de código IMEI, que regularmente informa mediante la notificación de identidad y que es solicitada regularmente por el sistema celular, en el caso que por alguna razón el equipo no remita dicha identificación, se podría añadir una característica, mediante la cual se logre identificar al terminal y lograr un informe de localización. Así se construye las base de datos denominada EIR (registro de identificación de equipo), de las cuales hay las mancomunadas de toda una región o país, que comprende a las independientes de cada compañía y a su vez reclasificadas como listas "blanca", que comprende a todos los equipos legales y formalmente homologados, la lista "gris", de los equipos sospechosos y la lista "negra", de los equipos considerados fraudulentos u obtenidos de forma dolosa. Todo esto dentro de un sistema celular GSM. In US20160150413, a method for the identification of cloned terminal equipment is described. For this, the method uses the time and location information of the equipment collected by the cellular system, functional as standard. This information is recorded from time to time by the system in its normal operation and allows to keep a record of the location of the equipment and its operation, in such a way, that very well you can determine the time in which a mobile was in a first location and then at another time where it is in another location, because said information is repeatedly collected by the system and at time ranges set by the cellular system; in such a way, which can be determined in how much time said mobile moved from one location to another, if said time is out of the reasonable it can proceed to its blocking, because it is considered cloned. In patent document US6377791, basically, the invention describes a method that controls the time intervals in which notifications, "call" messages or identity requests are generated, which are regularly issued temporarily over a period of time. fixed, between the cellular exchange and the terminal equipment. This message carries the identity of the terminal equipment, therefore, when said information arrives identifying the equipment in a much shorter time than the regular one, then it is considered a suspicious or cloned equipment. The IMEI code information is used, which regularly informs by means of the identity notification and that is requested regularly by the cellular system, in the case that for some reason the equipment does not send said identification, a characteristic could be added, by means of which I managed to identify the terminal and get a location report. This is how the database called EIR (equipment identification record) is built, of which there are the pools of a whole region or country, which includes the independents of each company and in turn reclassified as "white" lists, which includes to all legal and formally approved teams, the "gray" list, the suspicious teams and the "black" list, of the teams considered fraudulent or maliciously obtained. All this within a GSM cellular system.
En la invención aquí propuesta, los métodos descritos no dependen de las notificaciones que se intercambian entre los equipos terminales y las centrales de las compañías operadoras de telecomunicaciones, tal como a continuación se describe. In the invention proposed herein, the methods described do not depend on the notifications that are exchanged between the terminal equipment and the centrals of the telecommunications operating companies, as described below.
IV. DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN
Las empresas operadoras móviles que operan en un determinado país se encuentran supervisadas por una entidad reguladora de dicho país. Cada empresa operadora móvil guarda el registro de sus abonados, aquellos que han suscrito un acuerdo de servicio. El ente regulador es el encargado de administrar un Registro Nacional de Terminales, que contiene la información de todos los abonados del país, los equipos inscritos y modalidades de servicio adquiridos. Este Registro es dinámico y se va actualizando con los cambios reportados por cada operador móvil del país. Cada operador móvil tiene que homologar los terminales que comercializará en el país y esto es informado a la entidad respectiva para que le otorgue los certificados respectivos. IV. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Mobile operating companies operating in a given country are supervised by a regulatory entity in that country. Each mobile operator keeps the registry of its subscribers, those who have signed a service agreement. The regulatory body is in charge of administering a National Terminal Registry, which contains the information of all the subscribers in the country, the registered teams and acquired service modalities. This Registry is dynamic and is updated with the changes reported by each mobile operator in the country. Each mobile operator has to approve the terminals that will be sold in the country and this is informed to the respective entity to grant the respective certificates.
Es así que el Registro Nacional de Terminales (RNT) tiene información de los usuarios y los equipos que han reportado de su propiedad. Thus, the National Terminal Registry (RNT) has information about the users and the teams that have reported their property.
Los estándares para la implementación de las redes de telefonía celular móvil, definen y nombran elementos que cumplen determinadas funciones para proveer intercambio de información entre las redes y brindar el servicio no solo en el país sino a nivel global. Entre estos elementos se encuentran el código IMEI, el código MSISDN, el código IMSI, el código CELL ID, VLR, HLR, Network Provisioning, entre otros. The standards for the implementation of mobile cellular telephone networks, define and name elements that fulfill certain functions to provide information exchange between the networks and provide the service not only in the country but globally. These elements include the IMEI code, the MSISDN code, the IMSI code, the CELL ID code, VLR, HLR, Network Provisioning, among others.
IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity), que en español significa Código de Identificación Internacional para cada Equipo Celular es un código USSD pre grabado en los equipos celulares GSM, y sirve para identificar el equipo celular de manera única a nivel mundial, similar a un número de serie. Esta información es almacenada en las Bases de Datos EIR (Equipment Identity Register) que tiene la Lista Blanca, que contiene a todos los equipos celulares que pueden operar en la red celular del operador de telefonía móvil, la Lista Negra, que contiene a todos los equipos celulares reportados como irregulares y que son bloqueados para no permitir su uso y la Lista Gris los equipos celulares bajo observación.
IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), que es el Código de Identificación Internacional para cada usuario de la red celular móvil, es un código de identificación único para cada usuario de telefonía móvil en el ámbito mundial, integrado en la tarjeta SIM (Subscriber Identity Module), que permite su identificación a través de las redes GSM (sistema global para las comunicaciones móviles) y UMTS (Sistema universal de telecomunicaciones móviles). IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity), which in Spanish means International Identification Code for each Cellular Equipment is a pre-recorded USSD code in GSM cellular equipment, and serves to identify the cellular equipment uniquely worldwide, similar to a number serial. This information is stored in the EIR Databases (Equipment Identity Register) that has the White List, which contains all the cellular equipment that can operate in the cellular network of the mobile telephone operator, the Black List, which contains all cellular equipment reported as irregular and that are blocked to not allow its use and the Gray List the cellular equipment under observation. IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), which is the International Identification Code for each user of the mobile cellular network, is a unique identification code for each mobile phone user worldwide, integrated into the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card ), which allows its identification through the GSM (global system for mobile communications) and UMTS (Universal mobile telecommunications system) networks.
MSISDN (Mobile Station Integrated Services Digital Network) es el número que permite identificar al usuario de la red móvil, incluye el Código de país. Originalmente se tenían series de números para cada empresa operadora de telefonía móvil, pero en la actualidad ya no es así pues se tiene en vigencia la Portabilidad Numérica. Los equipos celulares regulados son aquellos que han sido debidamente registrados en las bases de datos de las operadoras móviles y no se encuentran con alguna restricción. MSISDN (Mobile Station Integrated Services Digital Network) is the number that identifies the user of the mobile network, including the Country Code. Originally, there were series of numbers for each mobile phone operator, but at present it is no longer the case because the Number Portability is in force. Regulated cellular devices are those that have been duly registered in the mobile operators' databases and do not meet any restrictions.
Los equipos celulares irregulares son aquellos teléfonos que no deben operar en ninguna red de comunicación de ninguna empresa operadora móvil en el país, debido a que han sido clonados, robados, hurtados o alterados, no tienen apropiadamente identificado a su titular o se encuentran involucrados en algún hecho doloso o ¡legal. Un equipo celular clonado es aquel cuyo IMEI ha sido copiado de otro equipo celular, pueden darse casos de copias múltiples donde sólo uno de ellos es el original, pero también puede darse el caso en que ninguno de dichos equipos es original. Un equipo celular alterado es aquel cuyo IMEI original ha sido cambiado por otro IMEI válido. Se realiza esta alteración porque el IMEI original puede estar reportado como irregular, con la alteración el equipo puede funcionar
como teléfono regular siempre y cuando el nuevo IMEI no esté reportado ante el ente regulador del país. Irregular cellular devices are those phones that must not operate in any communication network of any mobile operator in the country, because they have been cloned, stolen, stolen or altered, do not properly identify their owner or are involved in Some malicious or legal fact. A cloned cellular device is one whose IMEI has been copied from other cellular equipment, there may be instances of multiple copies where only one of them is the original, but it may also be the case that none of said equipment is original. An altered cellular device is one whose original IMEI has been exchanged for another valid IMEI. This alteration is performed because the original IMEI can be reported as irregular, with the alteration the equipment can function as a regular telephone as long as the new IMEI is not reported to the country's regulatory body.
CELL ID (Identificador de Celda), es un código para identificar zonas geográficas. Cada usuario activo en una empresa operadora de telefonía celular tiene asociado ese código dependiendo de donde se encuentre localizado geográficamente, esto porque en cada una de estas áreas el servicio es brindado por estaciones base. La red GSM utiliza esa información para diferentes acciones, tales como el handover (cuando el usuario se encuentra en movimiento e ingresa a un área geográfica atendida por otra estación base). Cuando hacemos referencia al CELL ID, lo estamos referenciando a la empresa operadora de telefonía móvil. CELL ID (Cell Identifier), is a code to identify geographical areas. Each active user in a cell phone operator company has that code associated depending on where it is geographically located, this because in each of these areas the service is provided by base stations. The GSM network uses this information for different actions, such as the handover (when the user is in motion and enters a geographical area served by another base station). When we refer to the CELL ID, we are referring it to the mobile phone operator.
VLR (Visitor Location Register) es una Base de Datos en las redes de telefonía móvil asociadas a los MSC (Mobile Switching Center). La Base de Datos VLR contiene la información de los usuarios ubicados en una de las áreas geográficas de servicio de un MSC. Si juntamos todas las Bases de Datos VLR de una empresa operadora de telefonía móvil tendremos a todos los usuarios activos en la red de dicho operador (incluye los usuarios del operador y los usuarios que están haciendo roaming en la red de dicho operador). Si juntamos todas las Bases de Datos VLR de todas las empresas operadoras de telefonía móvil, tendremos a todos los usuarios activos en el país en un determinado instante de tiempo.
