Description

Personalized calling method for mobile service users Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of mobile services, and in particular to a method for personalizing and customizing a mobile service user.

Background technique

In the early 1990s, second-generation mobile communication systems (GSM, CDMA, DCS1800, etc.) have been established in most parts of the world, and can provide basic voice and data services to tens of millions of users. In particular, CDMA technology, due to its high voice quality and low transmit power, has been widely used. However, with the popularity of mobile phones and the expansion of user groups, people have put forward higher requirements for mobile communications, hoping to get more, better, and faster services. At present, mobile communication is developing from the second generation to the third generation. Users hope to use their terminals to obtain more services and services, and have stronger control over telecommunication services. Network operators want to generate new services quickly with as little investment as possible in order to adapt to user needs in a timely manner.

Therefore, in the modern communication network, the technology of the intelligent network is started to make the communication network form a service platform, so that it is easy to develop these supplementary services.

The intelligent network is an additional network structure set up to quickly provide new services based on the original communication network. The purpose is to enable telecommunications operators to take into account the needs of users and the market, and conveniently and effectively establish various new telecommunication services.

The biggest feature of the intelligent network is to separate the network's switching function from the control function, and to centralize the network intelligence originally located in each end office switch in the telephone network to the newly set up functional components -The service control points of an intelligent network are on a number of large computers, and the original switch only performs basic connection functions. The switch adopts an open structure and standard interfaces to connect to the service control point and obeys the control of the service control point. Since the control function of the network is no longer distributed among the switches, once new services need to be added or modified, there is no need to modify the switches of each switching center, and only new service logic needs to be added or modified in the service control point. New services can be provided at any time without affecting the running business.

Figure 1 is the platform structure of a wireless intelligent network. It consists of a service switching point SSP, a service control point SCP, a signaling transfer point STP, an intelligent peripheral IP, a service management system SMS, and a service generation environment SCE.

Service switching point SSP has call processing function and service switching function. The call processing function can accept user calls, perform basic connection functions such as call setup and call hold. The service exchange function can detect the smart service request and report it to the service control point SCP; respond to the request of the service control point SCP, allowing the business logic in the service control point SCP to affect call processing. It is the connection point between Longyou Wireless Network and Intelligent Network.

Service Control Point SCP is the core component of the intelligent network. It stores user data and business logic. The main function of the service control point SCP is to receive the query information sent by the service switching point SSP and query the database for various decoding. At the same time, the service control point SCP can start different business logic according to the call event reported by the service switching point SSP. According to business logic, call control instructions are issued to the corresponding service switching point SSP, so as to realize various intelligent calls.

Intelligent peripheral IP is a special resource to assist in completing intelligent services. Usually has various voice functions, such as speech synthesis, playing recording notifications, receiving Hanyin multi-frequency dialing, and performing voice Identification and so on. The intelligent peripheral IP can be an independent physical device or a part of the service switching point SSP. It accepts the control of the service control point SCP and performs the operations specified by the service control point SCP business logic.

Business management system SMS is also a computer system. Business management system SMS— generally has 5 functions, namely business logic management, business data management, user data management, business monitoring and business volume management. The new business logic created in the service generation environment is entered by the service provider into the service management system SMS, which is then loaded into the service control point SCP by the service provider to provide the new service on the communication network.

Business generation environment The function of SCE is to generate new business logic according to customer needs. Business generation environment SCE provides a friendly graphical editing interface for business designers. Customers use a variety of standard graphics to design the business logic of the new business and define the corresponding data for it.

A new service is generated by the service generation environment SCE, managed by the service management system SMS, downloaded to the service control point SCP environment and run, and communicates and interacts with the service switching point SSP in the switch, and the service logic controls the connection of the call And carry on. The user only needs to dial the phone number of the other party. The business logic authenticates the user and provides corresponding services according to the service functions defined by the operator. The same is true for the incoming calls. The service series can provide the service functions defined by the operator. Corresponding service. For example, the caller's number, location area, time, and the entered password can be discriminated according to the service data registered in advance by the service user to determine whether the call should be connected; for calls that the user has not answered for various reasons, the service can use Appropriate way to pass this information to the user. You can monitor the information about the call, such as the call time, call duration, call cost, etc. And save it to the user's database, so that when the user makes a call or answer, according to the business data registered in advance by the business user, combined with the user's monitoring historical data, to determine whether to notify the user of the call information he wants to know, giving the user more Offers and more.

However, an important drawback of this existing technology is that the customization of a new service is customized by the operator, and it does not meet the needs of users well. Users cannot customize a new service according to their needs, such as 200 No. (password accounting) service, No. 700 (telephone tracking) service, No. 800 (centralized call payment) service, No. 900 (popular voting) service, are not flexibly set by users according to their needs, and the service is often relatively single Users often cannot make their own choices for each service in multiple services. And for each user, a program record containing user data is often customized separately, which increases the requirements for system capacity.

Summary of the Invention

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for personalizing and customizing a mobile service user, which can provide users with multiple services, and users can make their own choices for each service and flexibly set their own customized information.

To achieve the above object, the solution of the present invention is: a method for personalizing and customizing a mobile service user, which includes:

Package a variety of business logic programs common to multiple users in the intelligent network; store user-specific information for each service separately for each user;

Identify personalized business choices submitted by users;

Submit the request to the Home Location Registrar (HLR);

Modify user-defined information at the same time. The packaged business logic program and user-customized information can be stored in different databases respectively, and corresponding read flags are set in the business logic program, and a user's Custom information.

The identification of the personalized service selection submitted by the user is that the service control point (SCP) activates the service logic of the call after the user dials the service management process phone. The user enters the selection at the prompt, and the selection is entered by the service exchange point (SSP). Business Control Point (SCP). After the user enters the selection, the business logic can also give the current user information to the user to make a selection or modify the selection according to the database of the customized information selected and queried. Users can also open an account in the business hall and submit their own business function selection. The salesperson writes in the business management access point, or enters the service webpage through www, fills out a customized form, or dials the phone and adds the function instruction code. The service control point (SCP) activates the business calling party, analyzes the function code, and judges the personalized selection.

The modification of the user-defined information of the local location register (HLR) can be sent by the business logic to the local location register (HLR), the user information in the local location register (HLR) can be modified, and the data of the customized information can also be modified. Modify the user information in the local location register (HLR) and modify the customized information through the service management access point operated by the salesperson. You can also modify the user information in the local location register (HLR) and modify the customized information through the background service program. The data.

By identifying the personalized service selection submitted by the user and modifying the local location register (HLR) and user-defined information with the request, the invention enables the user to formulate his own choice for each service and flexibly set his own customized information ; Because a variety of business logic programs common to multiple users are bundled, users can be compatible to implement multiple services. Because the packaged business logic program and user-defined information in the present invention are stored in different databases, the requirements on system capacity and the workload of operators are greatly reduced, and the speed of the system is improved.

The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

detailed description

The standard (CS-1) defines an intelligent network as a four-layer intelligent network conceptual model. Figure 1 shows the situation of the physical layer of an intelligent network. For the convenience of the following description, we will make a brief introduction to the layer above the physical layer, that is, the distributed functional layer.

The functions related to call control are SSF, SRF, CCF and CCAF, which are distributed in the service switching point SSP.

The service switching function SSF connects the call control function CCF and the service control function SCF to each other by allowing the service control function SCF to control the call control function CCF.

Dedicated resource function SRF provides dedicated resources needed to implement intelligent network services. These services include voice detection and protocol modification.

The call control function CCF refers to ordinary call and connection establishment. The call control agent function CCAF provides the user with an interface to the network. The functions related to service control are SCF and SDF, which are distributed at service switching points and service control points. The service control function SCF contains the intelligent network service series and is limited to the processing of related services. The service data function SDF provides service-limited interfaces and network information and allows for consistent information detection. The SDF hides the actual execution of the information from the SCF and provides the SCF with a logical view of the information.

The management functions involved are the service generation environment function SCEF, the service management function SMF, and the service management access function SMAF. SMF includes monitoring of service management, maintenance and location; SMAF provides connectivity to SMF; SCEF makes it possible to define, develop and test intelligent network services and provide them to SMF.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of customization according to the management process of the present invention. The following uses the call of the management process as an example to describe in detail the specific customization and invocation method of the mobile service user's personalized customization invocation method of the present invention. In the business control function part of the system, the SCF stores a business logic specially designed for users to customize through the management process. When a user wants to make a personal customization, he first dials the business process management phone number, and dials the number to enter CCF / SSF first, which will stimulate CCF / SSF to send a message to the activation and deactivation of the business logic of the personal business customization stored in the SCF Based on the message, the SCF loads the appropriate business logic program from the database for execution. Since the SCF needs to receive the message of the business logic to be started from the CCF / SSF, if the CCF / SSF and SCF are located in different network elements (SSP and SCP), the message will go through the program block "encoding / decoding". This block modifies the INAP message into an internal message that the program understands based on the recommendations. On the other hand, if the CCF / SSF and SCF are located in the same network unit, no modification is necessary, and no encoding / decoding is required, and the message can be internal to the network unit. So encoding / decoding is a must An optional program block to modify the protocol.

The business logic begins to run. It first reads clearly defined records based on the business logic program identifier, business facilities, and user entities from the database. It reads general records from which the business logic program starts running, including declaration parameters, clear code parameters, Counter parameters and alarm parameters. The declaration parameter informs the user of the declaration to be read below. The business teaser then enters the inquiry point, at which point a message is sent to the CCF / SSF indicating the declaration parameter just read. For example, "You have entered a service setting state. You want to screen 1. incoming calls; 2. family numbers; 3. user monitoring functions; 4. district billing; 5. time-sharing billing; 6. notification of failed calls Set it, press the corresponding key number to enter the corresponding selection. "User press" 2 ". The CCF / SSF receives the selection information given by the user and sends a message containing the analysis result to the business logic program. From the received message, the business logic program reads the service identifier 2 and starts to study the service identifier 2. Since it corresponds to the identifier of the "family number", it will be transferred to the business logic program related to the "family number" The module continues execution. In the "family number," module, in the business logic, a read-in point can be set, at which point the user history information is read from the part of the user information database that is related to the family number, and then the predetermined record is read from the database The statement parameters in the record inform the user of the statement to be read next. Then the business logic sends the historical information data of the user and a message indicating the newly read statement parameters to the CCF / SSF, and the CCF / SSF displays the history to the user Information and messages indicating the newly read declaration parameters, such as: "The family number you have set is xxxxxxxx, which family number do you want to set 1/2 to cancel? "The user enters lxxxxxxxx at this prompt. CCF / SSF receives the information given by the user and sends a message containing the analysis result to the business logic program. From the received message, the business logic program reads The mode (activation / passivation) used by the business and the corresponding number. If activated, the business logic program writes the number to the user information database; if it is passivated, the business logic program cancels the number in the user information database. The user logic in the local location register (HLR) is then modified by the business logic program. The business logic then retrieves a predetermined record of declaration parameters from the database, sends a message to CCF / SSF indicating the latest reading of the declaration parameters, and displays to the user "You have successfully set a family number. If you want to set it again 1 / 2 Cancel the family number, please enter the corresponding number; if you want to log out, press the Y / N key. "The user presses the Y / N key to sign out. At this time, the CCF / SSF sends the user's instructions to the SCF to end the operation of the business logic. In this way, the user successfully customized a family number.

In SCF, multiple business logic programs that are common to many users are bundled together, that is, "packaged," so that each user may use multiple different services at the same time, such as "call screening" and "family number" Store user-specific information for each service separately for each user. This service information can be stored in a different database from the packaged business logic program, and the corresponding read flag is set in the business logic program. The program reads the customized information of a user from the database of user-defined information. Still using "family number" as an example, the user has successfully set several family numbers. When the user makes a call, CCF / SSF receives the call information of the user Tell the SCF to start the one that corresponds to "family number" in the bundled multi-service logic program. The business logic can set a read-in point where all the family numbers are read out to the user information database. Then the business logic Entered a comparison module to compare the number called by the user with all the family numbers. If it is one of them, it is more suitable than normal communication. Cheap rates; if not, billing is based on ordinary local calls, Go to the next module. Of course, in this embodiment, a read-in point and a database separated from business logic may not be provided, but the business logic and user data may be located together, or a program record containing user data may be customized for each user. This increases the requirement for system capacity, making the program relatively large and very uneconomical.

In addition to customizing user services through the process management phone mentioned above, users can also customize services by visiting the business hall. Fig. 3 is a flow chart for a user of the present invention to customize the business hall. The user writes a table in the business hall, and there are some options on the table: you want to screen 1. incoming calls; 2. family number; 3. user monitoring function; 4. district billing; 5. time-sharing billing; 6 , Failed call notification is set. There is another column below the family number, which says "You want to set / cancel the following family numbers:... The user submits his choice to the salesperson. In this way, the user has successfully customized a family number. The salesperson will The user's choice is written into the service management access point SMAP, and then the service management access point SMAP initiates the business logic to modify the user information in the local location register (HLR), and the business logic is modified into the user information database. User Info.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of customization according to the present invention through the www interface. In this way, the user first enters the service webpage established by the operator through the www method. A message appears on the webpage: "Please enter your phone number and user password." Then the user enters the corresponding phone number and password. If correct, a personalized service order appears on the web page. Option 1 appears on the order; 2. Incoming call screening; 2. Family number; 3. User monitoring function; 4. District charging; 5. Time-sharing charging; 6. Notification of failed calls. Then the user shocks 2, and the prompt appears on the screen: "You want to set / cancel the following family numbers:." After the user selects, press the "OK" button to submit to the background service program. The background service program starts the business logic to modify the local location to log in. The user information in the register (HLR), and edit the corresponding user information from the service i into the user information database.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of customization according to the present invention through a function instruction code. When the user wants to make a personal customization, add the function instruction code before or after or before or after dialing the number. The dialed number first enters the CCF / SSF. The CCF / SSF analyzes the number dialed by the user, and sends back an analysis result to the SCF. Dial the ¾ "number data message with the user. The SCF activates the service logic program. The service logic program analyzes the corresponding function indication code. If the function instruction code entered by the user has 5 digits 110-2-1, of which the first three digits 110 means to proceed. Personalized customization, 笫 4 digits 2 indicates the services that need to be customized, such as 1 for incoming call screening, 2 for family number, 3 for user monitoring functions, etc. The last digit 1 represents setting and 2 represents cancellation. So 110-2-1 It means to set a family number. Then ^ ^ enter the business module related to user selection in the business logic according to the analysis result. We still ^ 殳 user selection 2, then enter the part of the business also related to the family number. Due to user selection What is setting service, the service delay program will write the following phone number into the database of user information. If you choose If it is canceled, that is, passivation, the service logic program cancels the number in the user information database. Then the service logic program modifies the user information in the local location register (HLR). Then the service also edits a reservation from the database The recorded claim parameters send a message to the CCF / SSF indicating the latest read claim parameters, showing the user "You have successfully set a family number. "Then the SCF ends the operation of the business logic. In this way, the user successfully customizes / cancels a family number. If the user wants to customize / cancel a family number again, he may wish to dial the function plus code again. Phone.
