Background technique

The initial requirements of the embedded Subscriber Identification Module (eSIM) (also known as the embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC)) are derived from the Internet of Things (especially the automotive industry). However, as people's needs develop, eSIM cards can also be applied in the personal field, such as in the field of wearable devices.

Currently, international organizations such as the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSMA)/European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) are currently developing eSIM card-related specifications to enable consumers to activate tablets or mobile phones through their chosen mobile network operators. eSIM card for devices such as wearable devices. In other words, through the technical specifications of the GSMA, users can switch freely between different operators. Specifically, the operator card file information (Profile) is dynamically downloaded through the eSIM card to switch between different operator profiles, thereby implementing switching between different operators. This switching method does not require the user to replace the physical SIM card.

However, in the related specification of the eSIM card for the personal domain, in the related technical architecture, the user reassigns a telephone number every time the operator changes the operator, which requires the user to memorize the newly assigned telephone number and also needs to notify the friend.

Detailed ways

The present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

The SIM card is the carrier of the operator network authentication data, so how to ensure data security is the core issue of the SIM card. Therefore, for eSIM cards, the GSMA standard defines the architecture shown in Figure 1 to eliminate security threats. The embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to an eSIM card, so the solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure is implemented based on the architecture shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1 , the architecture includes a certification center (CI), an SM network element, an eUM (eUICC Manufacturer), and an MNO network element.

Among them, CI issues trusted digital certificates to all parties in the system to ensure the security of communication.

The SM network element is mainly responsible for the subscription management of the user, and includes a SM-DP (Subscription Manager Data Preparation) network element and a Subscription Manager Secure Routing (SM-SR) network element. The SM-DP network element is generally operated and maintained by the operator and configured to store and manage user card data (card data (ie, profile) used in card making). SM-SR is primarily responsible for security during the contract management process.

In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the call number is received, and an operator assignment number corresponding to the call number is searched in a database, where the database stores corresponding information of a call number and an operator assignment number; The operator assignment number represents a number assigned by the first operator after receiving the number assignment request sent by the second eSIM card; the first operator is an operator of the network to which the call number belongs; the second eSIM card is The eSIM card corresponding to the call number; processing a related call service for a call corresponding to the call number according to the found operator assignment number.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is applied to an MNO network element. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes:

Step 201: Receive a call number.

Specifically, the MNO network element may receive a call number sent by the first SIM card (which may be an eSIM card when actually applied), and the call number is a called number.

Step 202: Search for a carrier allocation number corresponding to the call number in a database.

Here, the database stores corresponding information of a calling number and an operator assigned number; the corresponding operator assigned number represents a number assigned by the first operator after receiving the number assignment request sent by the second eSIM card; An operator is an operator of the network to which the calling number belongs; the second eSIM card is an eSIM card corresponding to the calling number;

In actual application, the database includes a first database and a second database; the first database is a database local to the operator network device of the network to which the calling number belongs; and the second database is a database located in the SM network element;

When the corresponding operator assignment number is searched in the database, the call number is first used to search for the corresponding operator assignment number in the first database; when the corresponding operation is not found in the first database When the quotient is assigned a number, the corresponding operator assigned number is searched in the second database.

The searching for the corresponding carrier allocation number in the second database includes:

Sending the call number to the SM network element to search for the corresponding operator allocation number in the second database of the SM network element;

Receiving the found carrier allocation number returned by the SM network element.

Here, in actual application, when the corresponding operator assignment number is not found in the second database, the call number is not a user-selected number, but a number assigned by the called user operator, The SM network element may return the call number, and after receiving the MNO network element, directly perform call service related processing on the call number.

For the database local to the carrier network device of the network to which the calling number belongs, that is, the first database, the second database of the SM network element stores the calling number (ie, the user-selected number) and the operation of all the mobile network operators. The quotient assigns the corresponding information of the number, so the MNO network element needs to update the first database by using the calling number stored in the second database (ie, the user-selected number) and the operator-assigned number to reduce the message interaction during the query.

In the actual application, the update mode may be that the MNO network element periodically sends an update request to the SM network element to update the first database, or the SM network element periodically sends the pairing item information that needs to be updated to the MNO network element. In order for the MNO network element to update the first database, the SM network element sends the corresponding information that needs to be updated to the MNO network element to update the MNO network element when the corresponding information of the second database of the SM network element is updated. A database.

For the first database and the second database, in order to facilitate the search, the calling number (ie, the user-selected number) may be the main keyword.

Step 203: Process the related call service for the call corresponding to the call number according to the found carrier allocation number.

Specifically, when the corresponding operator assignment number is found in the first database, the call service related to the call number is processed according to the operator assignment number found in the first database.

When the corresponding operator assignment number is not found in the first database, and the corresponding operator assignment number is found in the second database, according to the operator found in the second database Assigning a number to call processing related call services corresponding to the calling number.

In other words, the related service of the call number is processed.

Here, in actual application, the call processing related call service corresponding to the call number may include: traditional functions such as calling and charging.

In an embodiment, before performing step 201, the method may further include:

Receiving the calling number sent by the second eSIM card; the calling number is a user-selected number, that is, a number selected by the user;

Allocating an operator assigned number uniquely corresponding to the calling number;

The calling number is associated with the assigned carrier assigned number and saved to the database.

Here, the database includes the first database and the second database described above. For the second database, the operator-associated number and the assigned operator-associated number association information, that is, the corresponding information, may be sent to the SM network element, and then saved by the SM network element to the second database. in.

It should be noted that, in actual application, the steps of the foregoing methods may be implemented by different network elements in the MNO. The network location for processing the call service, such as the home location register (HLR, may be performed, for example, the steps 201-203, and the operation of updating the first database may be performed, for example, a home location register (HLR, Home Location Register), Visiting Location Register (VLR), or Mobile Switching Center (MSC). Assigning an operator assigned number to the calling number and associating the calling number with the assigned carrier assigned number and saving to the database may be performed by a network element in the current MNO that assigns the operator assigned number.

Correspondingly, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an information processing method, which is applied to an eSIM card (corresponding to the second eSIM card described above). As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes:

Step 301: Send the user-selected number to the SM network element for validity check.

In other words, the user-selected number sent to the SM network element is used to verify whether the user-selected number is valid.

Step 302: Receive a verification result returned by the SM network element.

Step 303: Generate first prompt information by using the verification result.

Here, the first prompt information is used to prompt whether the user-selected number is valid.

When the verification result indicates that the user-selected number is invalid, the first prompt information is used to prompt the user-selectable number to be invalid; correspondingly, when receiving the verification result returned by the SM network element, The eSIM card may further receive at least one optional number information sent by the SM network element; the optional number information represents a valid user-selected number of the SM network element check;

When generating the first prompt information, the eSIM card presents the at least one optional number information for selection by the user.

In an embodiment, when the user-selected number selected by the user is not included in the at least one selected number information, and the invalid number reaches the preset number of times, the second prompt information is generated; the second prompt information is used to prompt only The user-selectable number can be selected in the at least one optional number information, so that the redundancy process can be reduced and the number of interactions with the SM network element can be reduced.

That is to say, when the number of invalid times reaches the preset number of times, the user can only select the user-selected number from the self-selected number information provided by the SM network element.

In actual application, the preset number can be set as needed, for example, set to three times.

The invalidity means that after the user-selected number selected by the user is verified by the SM network element, the user-selected number selected by the user is considered invalid.

In an embodiment, the method may further include:

The eSIM card acquires a first instruction;

Executing the first instruction, generating display information by using the maintained user-selected number list; and maintaining a valid user-selected number of the SM network element check by the maintained user-selected number list;

Displaying the display information;

Obtaining a second instruction; the second operation is a selection operation on a user-selected number;

Executing the second instruction, selecting a user-selected number from the user-selected number list; and selecting a user-selected number from the user-selected number list for signing a mobile network operator.

That is, the eSIM card maintains a list of user-selected numbers. When the user needs to use a user-selected number, a user-selected number is selected from the list of user-selected numbers, and the eSIM card takes the user from the list. The user-selected number selected in the user is sent to the MNO network element that the user wants to sign, and the contract operation is performed, and the user-selected number and the assigned operator-assigned number are associated and saved during the contract operation.

The embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an information processing method, which is applied to an SM network element. As shown in FIG. 4, the method includes:

Step 401: Receive a first user-selected number sent by the second eSIM card.

Step 402: Verify whether the first user-selected number is valid.

Specifically, the first user selected number is searched in the second database; the second database stores corresponding information of the calling number and the operator assigned number; the calling number is a user-selected number; and the operator assigns a number representation a number uniquely associated with the calling number assigned by an operator of the network to which the calling number belongs;

When the first user-selected number is found, it is determined that the first user-selected number is valid; when the first user-selected number is not found, determining that the first user-selected number is invalid.

Step 403: Return a verification result to the second eSIM card.

Here, in an embodiment, when verifying that the selected user-selected number is invalid and returning a verification result to the eSIM card, the SM network element may further send at least one optional to the second eSIM card. The number information, the optional number information represents a valid user-selected number of the SM network element verification, so as to help the user select the user-selected number as soon as possible.

As can be seen from the above description, the solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when receiving the call number (called number) sent by the first SIM card, the MNO network element first determines whether the call number has a corresponding carrier. When assigning a number and having a corresponding operator assigned number, the corresponding operator assigned number is used to perform the traditional functions of call services such as calling and charging, so as to correctly route calls and billing. When there is no corresponding operator assigned number, the call number is used to perform the traditional functions of call services such as calling and charging.

When it is determined whether the call number has a corresponding operator assignment number, the MNO network element first searches in the local first database, and then searches through the second database of the SM network element when the local call is not available.

For the database, the eSIM card is required to send the user-selected number to the MNO network element, so as to allocate the corresponding operator allocation number, and establish corresponding information of the two to be stored in the database (including the local first database and the SM network element). In the second database), in order to subsequently find the operator assigned number corresponding to the calling number.

For the user-selected number, the SM network element can be verified whether it is valid, and can be used when it is valid. When it is invalid, it cannot be used to avoid the repetition of the number. In addition, the SM network element can provide the optional number information for the user to select the user-selected number that he or she needs.

The information processing method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure receives a call number, and searches for a carrier allocation number corresponding to the call number in a database, where the database stores corresponding information of a call number and an operator assignment number; The operator assignment number represents a number assigned by the first operator after receiving the number assignment request sent by the second eSIM card; the first operator is an operator of the network to which the call number belongs; the second eSIM card is The eSIM card corresponding to the calling number; according to the found carrier allocation number, the call processing related call service corresponding to the calling number, when the calling number is the user-selected number, searching for the corresponding operator allocation in the database The number can be used to process related call services. In this way, the function of using one user number and eSIM card can realize the switching between different operators, and the eSIM card does not need to be replaced, so that the user can not only select the mobile that he likes. Network operators can also keep the phone numbers they are used to, without frequent Change the telephone number, to avoid the inconvenience caused by multi-number memory, greatly enhance the user experience.

In addition, using the calling number, searching for the corresponding operator allocation number in the first database; when the corresponding operator allocation number is not found in the first database, searching in the second database The corresponding operator assigns a number, and thus, the accuracy of the search can be guaranteed.

Updating the first data by using the call number stored by the second database and the corresponding information of the operator assigned number, that is, the SM network element provides the MNO network element with the corresponding information of the updated calling number and the operator assigned number, Can reduce message interaction during query.

The second eSIM card sends the user-selected number to the SM network element; the SM network element checks whether the user-selected number is valid; and returns a verification result to the eSIM card; the second eSIM card uses the school As a result of the test, the first prompt information is generated; the first prompt information is used to prompt whether the user-selected number is valid, and thus, the repetition of the self-selected user number can be effectively avoided.

In addition, the SM network element provides the user with valid self-selected number information through the second eSIM card, and thus can help the user select the selected user number as soon as possible. When the selected user-selected number is not included in the at least one optional number information, and the number of invalid times reaches a preset number of times, the second eSIM card generates second prompt information to prompt the user to only be in the SM network element. The self-selected user number is selected from the provided self-selected number information, so that the redundancy process can be reduced and the number of interactions with the SM network element can be reduced.

The present disclosure will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

This embodiment describes in detail how to implement switching between different operators, not only does not need to replace the physical card, and does not need to replace the phone number.

On the one hand, the specification of the relevant eSIM card can be implemented: the eUICC dynamic includes various operator profiles. On the other hand, in the related art, the operator of the relevant network element, such as the HLR/VLR, which manages the user information, can uniquely identify the number of the mobile user (hereinafter referred to as the user number), such as MDN, MSISDN, and the like.

Based on this, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a Subscriber Unified MSISDN (MMM Manager) module is added to the network side network element. When the user signs the contract with the operator, the user selects the user number (such as MSISDN/MDN, which is referred to as the user-selected number in the following description), and the MNO network element (referred to as MNO in the following description) allocates the user according to the user-selected number and the operator. The carrier number, the corresponding information of the user-selected number and the operator assigned number is generated, and synchronized to the SUMM database, that is, the SUMM module maintains a database storing the corresponding information of the user-selected number and the operator-assigned number, that is, the SUMM database. The MNO periodically obtains the latest corresponding information from the SUMM module. At the time of the call, the MNO uses the corresponding information to query the operator assigned number of the called number pair according to the called number (preferable MSISDN/MDN), so that the call and the charging can be correctly routed. At the same time, the number can be universally used.

Among them, considering the security of the SUMM database, the SUMM module can be set in the SM network element of the GSMA. More specifically, in conjunction with FIG. 1, the SM network element includes an SM-DP network element and an SM-SR network element. In practical applications, the SUMM module can be set to the SM-DP network element.

Specifically, the first step: generating corresponding information of the user's self-selection number and the operator's assigned number in the signing process.

Specifically, during the signing process, the MNO pairs the operator assigned number assigned by the operator with the user-selected number, and inserts the generated corresponding information into the SUMM database, and may use the user-selected number as the primary key. It should be noted that the management of the SUMM database is the responsibility of the SUMM module.

Step 2: The MNO uses the corresponding information to perform network service related functions.

Specifically, the MNO obtains the phone number corresponding information of the SUMM database from the SUMM module (for example, the SUMM module sends the message to the operator periodically or when there is an update). Each time the call service is performed, the called number is considered to be the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN). The MNO first queries the SUMM database of the local network element. If not found, the SUMM database is queried from the SUMM database. If it has not been queried, it is considered that the called number does not have its own user-selected number (preferable MSISDN/MDN), and the number is used as the operator-assigned number of the called user; if the operator-assigned number of the called number is queried, Traditional functions such as calling and billing services using carrier assigned numbers.

The process of generating the corresponding item information of the user-selected number and the operator-assigned number in the sign-off process is described in detail below. As shown in FIG. 5, the following steps are included:

Step 501: When the user wants to activate one carrier telecommunication service or wants to switch the telecommunication service to another operator, that is, when an operator needs to sign up, the user inputs the phone number selected by the user to the eSIM card, that is, the user-selected number ( Preferred MSISDN/MDN);

Step 502: After receiving the user-selected number input by the user, the eSIM card initiates a GSMA interface process of the GSMA with the corresponding MNO to establish a secure connection between the eSIM card and the MNO.

Here, the eSIM card and MNO interface are defined: The ES6 interface is based on the RAM and RFM mechanisms described in ETSI TS 102 225 [4] and ETSI TS 102 226.

Here, it should be noted that, as can be seen in conjunction with FIG. 1, in the process of establishing a secure connection between the eSIM card and the MNO, the participation of the SM network element is also required.

The specific process of establishing a connection between the eSIM card and the MNO can be referred to the GSMA specification.

Step 503: The eSIM card sends a Preferable MSISDN/MDN to the MNO and other parameters defined by the GSMA.

Step 504: After receiving the information, the MNO assigns a number to the subscriber, that is, allocates an operator assignment number (MSISDN/MDN) and other information defined by the GSMA, and assigns the assigned operator assignment number (MSISDN/MDN) and the user-selected number. (preferable MSISDN/MDN) pairing and sending the generated corresponding information to the SUMM module for saving to the SUMM database;

Here, in the SUMM database, the primary key of the corresponding information can be set to the user-selected number.

At the same time, the MNO transmits the corresponding information of the operator assigned number and the user-selected number to the MNO's own HLR network element (or other network element (VLR or MSC), etc.).

The HLR network element (or other network element (VLR or Mobile Switching Center)) needs to obtain the latest corresponding information from the SUMM database of the SUMM module for subsequent service processing.

In practical application, the MNO also synchronizes other information defined by the GSMA to the SUMM database of the SUMM module.

Step 505: The MNO returns the contract result to the eSIM card.

In the signing process, the user needs to select the phone number by himself. In this case, the user can interact with the eSIM card through the operation interface provided by the smart device (which can be understood as the terminal) where the eSIM card is located.

Specifically, the embodiment provides a method for the user to select a phone number by itself, as shown in FIG. 6, including the following steps:

Step 601: The user inputs a phone number selected by the user through an operation interface provided by the smart device.

Here, in actual application, when the phone number is selected, it is selected in Arabic numerals 0-9. At the same time, in order to be compatible with the current network, the length of the Chinese telephone number is 11, and the length of North America is 10.

Among them, it should be noted that the length of the telephone number mentioned here does not include the country's telephone area code.

After receiving the self-selected number input by the user, the eSIM card performs the above step 502.

Step 602: The user selects to activate one carrier telecommunication service for the first time through the operation interface provided by the smart device, that is, select one operator;

Here, after receiving the user's selection, the eSIM card performs the above step 503, that is, sending the user-selectable number (Preferable MSISDN/MDN) and other procedures and parameters specified by the GSMA to the corresponding MNO;

After receiving the information, the MNO assigns a number to the subscriber, binds the Preferable MSISDN/MDN and the Operator Assignment Number (MSISDN/MDN), and records it in the HLR (or other network element (VLR or MSC, etc.), the network element where the SUMM module is located, and other related network elements, such as routing and charging for calls.

Step 603: If the user wants to switch the carrier telecommunication service, that is, if the user wants to switch the operator, the operator to be switched is selected through the operation interface provided by the smart device.

Here, after receiving the user's selection, the eSIM card also performs the above steps to send a user-selectable number (Preferable MSISDN/MDN) to the corresponding MNO, and other parameters specified by the GSMA;

After receiving the information, the switched MNO assigns a number to the subscriber, pairs and binds the user-selected number and the operator assigned number, and records it in the HLR (or other network element (VLR or MSC, etc.) and the SUMM module. The network element and other related network elements, and notify the eSIM card to switch the operator activation success message according to the GSMA specification.

After receiving the information sent by the switched MNO, the SUMM module searches the SUMM database with the user-selected number as a keyword, and when the corresponding information is found, updates the corresponding operator assigned number to the switched MNO allocation. The operator assigns a number and updates other information as well.

Here, after receiving the handover operator activation success message, the eSIM card sends a user-selectable number (Preferable MSISDN/MDN) to the MNO before handover;

The MNO before the handover, that is, the MNO that originally provided the telecommunication service, after receiving the information, clears the pairing information of the Preferable MSISDN/MDN and the Operator Assignment (MSISDN/MDN) in the relevant network element, and releases the resource.

Here, it should be noted that, in actual application, since the user selects the telephone number by himself, there may be a case where a plurality of users select the same telephone number, thereby making it impossible to distinguish each user. In order to avoid this, the following measures can be taken:

Each time the user selects the number, that is, the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN), the eSIM card is sent to the SUMM module, and the SUMM module determines whether the selected user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) has been repeated in the SUMM database. According to this, each user is distinguished.

Specifically, after the SUMM module receives the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) sent by the eSIM card, if the SUMM module detects a duplicate user-selected number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) in the SUMM database, the user is sent to the user through the eSIM card. Returns the number repeat message and returns at least one available number for the user to select.

The user can select a user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) from the available available numbers or enter the number himself, and then send it to the SUMM module by the eSIM card.

After the SUMM module receives the selected user-selected number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) again, it still judges whether the reselected user-selected number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) has been repeated in the SUMM database, when the SUMM module detects in the SUMM database. Repeated user-selected number (preferable MSISDN/MDN), indicating that the user has not selected the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) from the available available numbers, but the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) entered by the user. The number repeat information is returned to the user via the eSIM card, and at least one available number is returned for the user to select the user.

The user can still determine the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) by entering the number for the third time. When the number entered for the third time is still determined by the SUMM module as a repeatable user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN), that is, the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) entered by the user for the third time is still invalid when the SUMM module is invalid. When the user determines the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) for the fourth time, the user is only allowed to select the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) among the numbers provided by the SUMM module to avoid the redundant process.

In addition, in actual application, a user may have one or more user-selectable numbers (preferable MSISDN/MDN). For example, for users, they want relatives and friends to use a user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN), and for working customers, they want to use a user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN), and for company colleagues, hope Use a user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN), etc. In this case, the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN and the device's IMEI can be bound, and one smart device maintains a user-selected number (preferable MSISDN/) MDN) and IMEI form, when the user needs to switch operators, the content of the table is displayed to the user, and the user selects a user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN), and then performs a subsequent operator switching process.

Of course, the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) in the table has a unique valid number in the SUMM module, that is, the SUMM module confirms that the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) in the table is valid, not invalid. . When maintaining the form, the eSIM card sends a user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) to the SUMM module. The SUMM module verifies the valid or invalid information of the number and returns it to the user through the eSIM card. If it is valid, the user maintains the In the table.

Next, the process of the operator performing the network service related function by using the corresponding information is described in detail. As shown in FIG. 7, the following steps are included:

Step 701: The user initiates a call, the called telephone number uses a user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN), and the eSIM card sends the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) to the MSC/HLR of the network where the user is located;

Step 702: The MSC/HLR where the user is located first queries the local SUMM database. If the carrier number (MSISDN/MDN) matching the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) is found, step 705 is performed, and if not found, the step is performed. 703;

Here, the network MSC/HLR where the user is located is the calling MSC/HLR.

Step 703: When the local MSC/HLR does not find the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) in the local SUMM database, send a user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) to the SUMM module to query the operator assigned number (MSISDN). /MDN).

Step 704: The SUMM module sends an operator assignment number (MSISDN/MDN) matching the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) to the network MSC/HLR where the user is located;

Here, when the SUMM module does not find the operator assignment number (MSISDN/MDN) corresponding to the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) in the SUMM database, it is considered that the user does not set the user-selectable number (preferable MSISDN/MDN). At this time, the SUMM module sends the user-selected number (preferalbe MSISDN/MDN) to the MSC/HLR as the operator assignment number (MSISDN).

Of course, when the SUMM module matches the operator assignment number (MSISDN/MDN) in the SUMM database, the matched carrier assignment number (MSISDN/MDN) is sent to the MSC/HLR.

Step 705: The network MSC/HLR where the user is located is routed to the called MSC/HLR according to the operator assignment number (MSISDN/MDN), and sends call information to the called MSC/HLR.

Here, the flow of the call is the same as the regular call flow defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) / 3GPP2.

In order to implement functions such as calling and billing services, the MNO needs to update its SUMM database from the SUMM module. The MNO can update its own SUMM database from the SUMM module in the following ways:

In the first mode, the MNO periodically sends an update request to the SUMM module, and the SUMM module returns the corresponding information to be updated to the MNO after receiving the update request;

In the second mode, the SUMM module periodically sends the corresponding information to the MNO that needs to be updated;

In the third way, when the pairing information of the SUMM database is updated, the SUMM module sends corresponding information to the MNO that needs to be updated.

For the first mode, as shown in FIG. 8, the implementation process may include:

Step 801: The MSC/HRL periodically sends an update request to the SUMM module.

Here, the update request may indicate updated content, such as: a user-selected number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) and an operator assigned number (MSISND) added or changed from a certain point in time (last update time point) to the current time point. /MDN) Correspondence information.

In practical applications, the length of the cycle can be set as needed.

Step 802: After receiving the update request, the SUMM module returns corresponding information corresponding to the update request to the MSC/HRL.

Specifically, the SUMM module returns the paired item information of the user-selected number (preferable MSISDN/MDN) and the operator assigned number (MSISND/MDN) added or changed from the last update to the current time period to the MSC/HRL.
