Detailed ways

In the present invention, the communication system notifies the roaming area registration system of the user's current location information, and the roaming area registration system confirms the registration request of the user. After the confirmation is successful, the roaming area registration system will record the user's current location information into the communication system, so that the communication system can restrict the user to use the services signed by himself only in the registered roaming area.

As shown in Figure 1, it is a schematic flow chart of the method of the present invention. First, the user terminal triggers a roaming area registration request (step 101); then, after the communication system detects that the user needs to register a roaming area request, the user's registration request and the location information where the current user is located are transmitted to the roaming area registration system (step 102); after the roaming area registration system receives the user registration request and the location information, the roaming area information registered by the user is registered in the user database subsystem, so that wireless communication The system can use this information to limit the scope of user service usage (step 103).

Wherein, the trigger method in step 101, that is, the method in which the corresponding communication system detects that the user needs to register the roaming area in step 102, may include but not limited to the following methods:

1. The user is in a specific state, such as a single-number calling state, and can only call a specific number, etc. The operator pre-sets that the user in this state needs to register in the roaming area;

2. The user initiates a specific service request, such as initiating a call with a specific number (segment), sending a short message with a specific destination number (segment), etc. The operator pre-sets this number (segment) to indicate that the user needs to register in the roaming area;

3. The user dials a specific supplementary service code (Feature Code), and the operator pre-sets this supplementary service code to indicate that the user needs to register in the roaming area.

In the step 103, the following sub-steps may be included:

1. The roaming area registration system checks the registration qualification of the user to determine whether the operator authorizes the user to register its roaming area. This process can be checked by using the information stored in the roaming area registration system itself, or by exchanging information with the wireless communication system, or even by exchanging information with the user;

2. The roaming area registration system can prompt the user to confirm the current registration request, so as to prevent the user from registering the roaming area by mistake;

3. The roaming area registration system can convert the location information reported by the exchange subsystem into roaming area information that can be identified by the user database subsystem, or directly transfer the location information to the database subsystem;

4. When the roaming area registration system detects that the user has no right to register the roaming area, or the user cancels the registration, the roaming area registration system will not pass these information to the user database subsystem.

Wherein, the location information can have various forms, such as the cell or sector information (Cell/Sector) where the user is located, location area information (Location Area), switch information, or even a certain logical area defined by the operator concept etc. The roaming area may also have various forms, and may directly use location information, or may use a geographical area designated by an operator, and the like. The conversion of user location information to roaming area can be a mapping in the form of identification, or/and mapping in geographical range, etc.;

As shown in FIG. 2 , it is a schematic diagram of the system environment in which the present invention is located. The communication system of the present invention includes at least two parts, the switching subsystem and the database subsystem. These two parts are only functionally divided, and physically independent devices can also be integrated with other devices. The roaming area registration system can adopt a manual method or an automatic answering method.

As shown in FIG. 3, it is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the process of registering a roaming area caused by the user status according to the present invention, wherein:

Step 301) The switching subsystem receives the service request initiated by the user. This service request can include dialing a specific phone number, sending a short message to a specific number, dialing a specific supplementary service code, etc. The number dialed by the user includes numbers, "* ", and "#" and so on.

Step 302) The exchange subsystem detects that the user needs to register in the roaming area, so the exchange subsystem will send a registration request to the registration system, and deliver the current location information of the user to the registration system;

The way "the switching subsystem can detect that the user needs to register in the roaming area" mentioned here may include but not limited to the following:

The user information indicates that the user is in the state specified by the operator in advance and needs to register the roaming area, such as roaming only in the cell, but the cell information that the user is allowed to roam is not set, or the user is in the state of calling with a single number, and this number is used for Register roaming area number, etc.;

The destination number carried by the user when initiating the service (such as the called phone number in the call or short message, the supplementary service number dialed by the user, etc.) is the number (or number segment) designated by the operator in advance for roaming area registration.

The "location information" mentioned here can be of the following types but not limited to:

1. Cell/sector information (Cell/Sector);

2. Location area information (Location Area);

3. Exchange the location information of subsystems;

4. The logical area information defined by the operator.

The method of "sending requests from the switching subsystem" mentioned here may include but not limited to the following:

1. Send a registration request to the registration system through service-related control signaling (such as TUP/ISUP messages, point-to-point short message transmission messages, etc.), and transmit the location information to be registered by the user through the preset parameters in the message;

2. Send a registration request to the registration system through control signaling that has nothing to do with the business (such as messages in the intelligent network, messages in the mobile network, or internally defined messages, etc.), and transmit the user's requirements through the preset parameters in the message. Registered location information.

Step 303) After the registration system receives the registration information sent by the exchange subsystem, it confirms that the user registration request;

The "confirmation process" mentioned here includes but is not limited to the following processes:

1. Do not do any processing, and the registration request has been successfully confirmed by default;

2. Check the legal qualification of the user to register the roaming area;

3. Prompt the user to confirm the current registration request.

Moreover, if necessary during the confirmation process, the registration system will establish communication with the user, and interact with the user to obtain necessary information (such as the user's confirmation information, the user's registered password, and other possible information). If the user is not authorized to register the roaming area, or the user cancels the current registration The registration system will end the registration process, and notify the user of the result by voice or other means if necessary.

这个信息和执行所必需的操作。这个信息将被用户数据库子系统用于限制用户的漫游区域。需要时注册系统可以通过语音或者其他方式将结果通知给用户Step 304) If the registration system obtains successful confirmation information, the registration system transmits the roaming area information registered by the user to the user database subsystem, and instructs the user database subsystem

This information and the actions necessary to perform it. This information will be used by the Subscriber Database Subsystem to restrict the subscriber's roaming area. When needed, the registration system can notify the user of the result by voice or other means

The "roaming area information" mentioned here can be but not limited to the following forms:

1. Receive the location information in the registration request;

2. Convert the location information in the registration request into roaming area information that the user database subsystem can identify.

The "operations necessary to perform" mentioned here may include but not limited to the following operations:

的这个特定状态，并将这个信息同步到交换子系统中；1. Due to the registration of the roaming area triggered by the user's specific state, the database subsystem will clear the

This specific state of the system, and synchronize this information to the switching subsystem;

2. The database subsystem updates some subscription information of the user and synchronizes it to the exchange subsystem.
