Abstract
A method for automatic localization of pre-defined service providers via a cellular mobile telephone system. The service providers are subscribers to a Controlling Service Provider (Regional CSP system). The method includes providing quick dialing program which is received by a current cellular telephone network (CTN) from a caller. This call is then identified and transferred to the Controlling Service Provider (Regional CSP system). The information transferred includes the particular cell in which the call has originated. The Controlling Service Provider (Regional CSP system) then invokes a cross localization program to identify another mobile subscriber from the same cell, and the call is routed to that identified mobile subscriber.
Description
WO 00/24207 PCT.~IL98/00509 Service Providers Localization System via Cellular Telephone Field of Invention The invention disclosed hereafter is a localization bridging system via cellular telephone, between a service provider and a person who needs a service, based on the local position of both parties in defined cellular cells at a given time.
1' 0 Background of Invention:
People who need urgent services, like car repair service or just a cab, have to spend a great deal of time trying to locate an available service provider, using directories, or random service providers. Even if both parties are geographically close to each other, unless eye contact. they remain ignorant to each others' existence. Even when a service provider is located, he is not always available and the search starts all over again and might repeat itself several times.
To avoid all this. the Controlling Service Provider (CSP) gives a quick and e~cient response to the above described need, if both parties are at the same time in the region of the CSP .
Summary of the Invention The new invention introduces a new method in the field of services provided via cellular telephone. The new services are operated by a subscriber's program that elaborates and combines digital data which is constantly received from a Cellular ?.s Telephone Network (CTN) with the activity of the CSP system. When a quick dialing programmed code call is received by CTN it is identified and transferred to CSP. The _ , _ identified data received by CSP includes data concerning the cellular cell from which the call was received. This data starts the cross localization program of CSP
for locating a suitable subscriber ~-ho. according to the last data tlow received from CTN, is located in the same cellular cell from which the call arrived. When the cross p localization process is complete. the call is routed to the suitable Subscriber. ;
Detailed Description of the Invention By clicking a pre-programmed code in the cellular telephone of a user of the cellular telephone, (hereafter referred to as "User"). Once the call is identified by CTN as a quick dialing programmed call to CSP, the call and all digital identification of the User, including identification o:f the particular cellular cell from which the call was received, are transferred by thc° regional CTN to CSP. CSP identifies the needed service through an automatic reply voice list which was operated by the User.
The CSP
then starts a cross search of the data of all defined operative service providers who are subscribers to CSP, (hereafter referred to as "Subscribers'), and the updated data, received from CTN, of the cellular cells from which the last signal of above Subscribers was received. Once there is a match between the cellular cells, where User and above Subscribers are located, the CSP dials a Subscriber's number via CTN. CTN
receives a dial request. If Subscriber answers the call, a connection between User and Subscriber is obtained. In cases. where no reply is received from Subscriber, or by User's request. the call is automatically transferred to the new Subscriber on the list of matching Subscribers.

I claim:
1. A method of controlling the operation of a defined communication between service providers, who are Subscribers to CSP, and Users, via cellular telephones. The method is based on a system of localization of cellular cells within a regional division of a CTN system from where operative signals, of both, the service provider and the User, are received in a given time, comprising the steps of:
