GB 2 284 519 relates to a private branch telephone system serving premises in which system active features of a terminal can be changed when the user associated with the terminal either comes in or goes out of the premises where the terminal is, i.e. according to whether the associated subscriber is on or off the premises. The arrangement comprises a card reader for generating signals identifying the subscribers and indicating an in or "out" status therefor, a memory for storing data indicating the features required by the respective subscriber in his "in" and "out" status, and a processor responsive to the signals and the data stored in the memory to select the appropriate features in the telephone system as the subscriber enters and leaves the premises.
ETSI-EUROPEAN TELECOMMUNICATIONS STANDARDS INSTITUTE: "Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2+); Multiple Subscriber Profile (MSP); Service description, Stage 1 (GSM 02.97, version 5.2.0)" GSM 02.97, [online] no. 5.2.0, 17 November 1997 (1997-11-17), pages 1-15, discloses a multiple service profile feature allowing a subscriber using the feature to provision up to four different profiles, one of the profiles being a registered profile used for all mobile terminating activities. The user can explicitly select another profile by indicating a profile ID when initiating a call or short message; otherwise the registered profile is used. The profile ID is always transmitted with an activity.
M. MOULY - M.B. PAUTET, "The GSM System for Mobile Communications - Chapter 8 - Communication Management" 1 January 1993 (1993-01-01), pages 503 to 565, discloses how a user can activate/deactivate a supplementary service or how the user can inquire the status of the supplementary service supplementary service-specifically.
WO 97/25828 discloses a solution having three separate and independent registers: one for subscriptions, one for users and one for terminals. They allow several terminals to be associated with one user, several users to be associated with one terminal and several subscriptions to be associated with one user, and several users to be selectively associated with one subscription.
An object of the invention is to develop a system and an equipment that will be used in the system in such a manner that the problems described above can be solved. The objects of the invention are achieved with a telecommunication system , a terminal,a service profile register and a method according to independent claims 1, 5, 10 and 11.
The preferred embodiments of the system, the mobile station and the subscriber register of the invention are disclosed in the attached dependent claims 2 - 4 and 6-9.
Figure 1 shows the parts of a mobile communication system that are essential to the invention,
Figure 2 shows an example of a mobile station subscriber service profiles,
Figure 3 illustrates signalling according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention in connection with a service profile change,
Figure 4 illustrates signalling according to the first preferred embodiment of the invention in connection with a service profile forming,
Figure 5 illustrates signalling according to a second preferred embodiment of the invention in connection with the service profile change,
Figure 6 is a block diagram showing a mobile station according to the first preferred embodiment of the invention, and
Figure 7 is a block diagram showing a service profile register according to the second preferred embodiment of the invention.
The basic structure of a GSM system 1 is shown in Figure 1. The structure of a GSM network 2 comprises two parts: a Base Station Subsystem BSS and a Network Subsystem NSS. The BSS and the mobile stations MS communicate using radio connections. In the base station subsystem BSS each cell is served by a Base Transceiver Station BTS. A set of base transceiver stations BTS are connected to a Base Station Controller BSC, whose function is to control the radio frequencies and radio channels used by the base transceiver station BTS. The base station controllers BSC are connected to a Mobile Switching Centre MSC. The task of the mobile switching centre is to connect calls in which at least one mobile station MS takes part. Some mobile switching centres MSC are linked to other telecommunication networks, such as a Public Switched Telephone Network PSTN, and they comprise functions for connecting calls to and from these networks. Such mobile switching centres are called gateway MSCs. Some mobile switching centres can also be connected to an Intelligent Network IN for transmitting intelligent network services to the subscriber. In this application an intelligent network means both an intelligent network and other service platforms similar to the intelligent network. For short message services, the system 1 comprises Short Message Service Centres SMSC and Short Message Service Gateways SMSGW of the GSM network 2. The SMSGW is a name common to a Gateway Mobile Switching Centre for Short Message Service SMS-GMSC and an Interworking Mobile Switching Centre for Short Message Service SMS-IWMSC. Short messages can be sent to and from a mobile station from different service centres and using various networks in such a way that the short message is delivered via the short message service centre SMSC. In this application the short message service centre SMSC also represents other service centres associated with different service protocols, such as an Unstructured Supplementary Service Data Centre which is being developed and which offers, for example, interactive services or services connected with calls from the network using USSD signalling.
The service profiles of the invention are stored in the subscriber register, which is called a Service Profile Register SPR in this application. It can also be integrated into the home location register HLR or it can be integrated into another register in the network. An example of the subscriber service profiles is shown in Figure 2, and the service profile register is described in greater detail in Figure 7.
Figure 2 shows an example of the subscriber-specific service profiles of a GSM subscriber. Here subscriber-specific means subscriber-number-specific. If two or more subscriber numbers are defined for the mobile station subscriber identifier, then specific service profile lists can be defined for each subscriber number: for example, in Figure 2 the profiles work_reachable and work_engaged could be defined for subscriber number 1 and the rest of the profiles for subscriber number 2. However, in the first and the second embodiments of the invention it is assumed that the subscriber has one subscriber number for which the different profiles are defined. The appearance and the implementation of the service profile list shown in Figure 2 may differ from what is shown in the Figure.
Column 3 of Figure 2 shows features which are given values in columns 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D. The feature list of column 3 is at the same time a service profile basis comprising all the services defined for the subscriber and any terminal settings in the service profiles. The service profile basis can be utilized when service profiles are formed. The feature list shown in Figure 2 is only an example and meant to illustrate the invention.
The profile identifier in the feature list shown in column 3 of Figure 2 is a name to be given to the profile or another identifier unambiguously identifying the service profile regarding this subscriber. Two different subscribers using the same profile identifier does not cause confusion. In this example a state of the profile has been included in the feature list. The profile state tells us which profile is currently being used. A mobile station menu feature tells us which of the alternative menus of the mobile station is being used in each profile. This feature is naturally not needed if there are not several menus available. A call forwarding feature is a supplementary service of the GSM network, comprising four different situations in all in which the call forwarding occurs. A call barring feature means a network-specific supplementary service in which calls to certain numbers or to numbers beginning with a certain number series are barred. However, it is possible to call emergency numbers even if all calls are barred. An ordinary short message feature indicates if short messages normally transmitted in the GSM network can be sent from the mobile station and if so, then via which short message centre. E-mail and fax features are here associated with the supplementary services delivered as a short message service. A personal number means a service offered by the intelligent network, in which service the intelligent network reroutes the calls made to the personal number in the way the subscriber has instructed. A 'when will I arrive' short message feature indicates a service in which the time of arrival is automatically inquired in connection with the profile change and the short message is automatically sent to a predetermined number. A ringing tone feature is a feature associated with the mobile station settings, by which the ringing tone to be used in each profile can be chosen.
One of the profiles shown in Figure 2 is the work_reachable profile which is currently being used. The mobile station menu is menu3. Of the call forwarding features, this service profile does not include forward all. When the phone is engaged or when no answer is received, the calls are transferred to an answering unit1. If the mobile station is not reached, then the calls are transferred to the fixed work phone of the subscriber, whose phone number is ISDN1. Conventional short messages can be sent by the mobile station via the short message service centre SMSC1. The subscriber also has e-mail, fax and a personal number at his/her disposal, the personal number being given a routing instruction1. A conventional ringing tone is chosen as the mobile station ringing tone. Other features are not chosen for the service profile.
When the work_engaged service profile shown in Figure 2 is being used, then the mobile station menu is menu2 which is an extremely simplified menu comprising only the indication of the service profile selected and the option of changing the service profile. All calls made to the mobile station are directly transferred to the secretary to number MSISDN2. Even though the calls are barred, the phone can be used for sending conventional short messages via the short message service centre SMSC1. The ringing tone of the phone is soundless so that the short messages received would not cause disturbance. When the work_engaged service profile is selected, the subscriber is asked about the return time, and on the basis of his/her reply a 'I will return at return time' short message is automatically sent to the secretary to number MSISDN2.
The leisure time and holiday service profiles shown in Figure 2 differ only slightly from one another. When one of them is used, then the mobile station menu is menu3, which differs somewhat from menu1 and menu2. Both have as an option the forwarding of all calls, by which all calls can be transferred to a desired number, which, however, is not worth programming permanently. In both service profiles the calls are transferred to an answering unit2 when the phone is engaged or to an answering unit3 when no answer is received from the mobile station or when the mobile station cannot be reached. Different answering units can have different kinds of messages. Calls to entertainment lines are barred in both service profiles. Conventional short messages can be sent with the mobile station via the short message service centre SMSC2 in both service profiles. A conventional ringing tone is chosen as the mobile station ringing tone in both. The profiles differ from one another in that a personal number service is used only in the leisure profile on a routing instruction 2, and in that when the holiday profile is chosen, the subscriber is asked about the end of the holiday, and on the basis of the reply, a 'return at end of holiday' short message is automatically sent to number MSISDN2 to the secretary.
The service profiles presented above are only examples and meant to illustrate the invention. For example, information allowing separate billing can be attached to the profiles. Conditions tied to time and/or place can be associated with the profiles, the fulfilled conditions triggering a profile change. The location can be determined on the basis of the cell or the geographical co-ordinates. Corresponding profiles can be defined for fixed network subscribers too. For example, a fixed network subscriber could have two different profiles, the first one being a work profile and the second one a leisure time profile. The profiles could differ from one another regarding the routing instructions, call forwarding or prefixes of the personal number. The fixed network home user could, in turn, be using time-bound profiles, known as day profiles and night profiles, comprising different call barring and intelligent network services.
Figure 3 shows the signalling associated with the service profile change according to the first preferred embodiment of the invention, in which it is assumed that the mobile station attends to the updating of the service units in connection with the service profile change. Here a service unit means a unit or a network element comprising subscriber information needed for providing services, for example, information on whether the subscriber is entitled to have services. The service unit is assumed to be a mobile station subscriber's home location register HLR, in which information defined for the subscriber on the GSM network services and their values is maintained. An intelligent network point IN/P is here marked as the service unit associated with the intelligent network services to describe the network elements in which subscriber information of the intelligent network or of other service platforms of the intelligent network type are stored. Correspondingly the subscriber information associated with the short message services or with other service protocols that are not stored in the home location register HLR are stored in the service producer-specific registers, which are here represented by the short message service centre SMSC.
With reference to Figure 3 the mobile station user wishes to know what service profiles he/she has. Therefore he/she requests the information via a mobile station user interface. The mobile station MS sends a signalling message 3-1 (GetProfiles) inquiring about service profiles to the service profile register SPR in order to obtain the subscriber service profiles. If the user knows which profile information he/she wishes to have or if he/she wishes to have only the profile names, then the parameters indicating the kind of information desired are attached to the signalling message. However, it is assumed in this example that he/she wishes to know all service profiles including their contents.
After reception of the signalling message 3-1 the service profile register searches for the service profiles defined for the mobile station subscriber and sends them to the mobile station MS in a signalling message 3-2 (GetProfilesAck). If the mobile station subscriber is the one whose service profiles are presented in Figure 2, the signalling message comprises the information presented in columns 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D of Figure 2.
The mobile station also updates its settings to correspond with the chosen profile in step 3-8. If for example the subscriber of Figure 2 changes his/her work_engaged service profile to a work_reachable service profile, the mobile station changes its menu and its ringing tone.
Figure 4 shows the signalling according to the first preferred embodiment of the invention when the mobile station subscriber forms himself/herself a new service profile via the mobile station user interface. When the subscriber has chosen to form a new profile from the user interface menu, the mobile station MS sends a signalling message 4-1 (GetProfiles(basic)) inquiring about service profiles to the service profile register SPR in order to obtain the subscriber service profile basis. As the mobile station knows on the basis of the subscriber menu choice that a service profile basis is needed, it automatically attaches to the signalling message 4-1 a parameter by which the request is directed to the service profile basis. In other embodiments the service profile basis could also be requested by a separate signalling message.
After reception of the signalling message 4-1 the service profile register searches for the service profile basis defined for the subscriber and sends it to the mobile station MS in a signalling message 4-2 (GetProfilesAck). If the mobile station subscriber is the one whose service profiles are illustrated in Figure 2, then the signalling message 4-2 comprises the information of column 3 presented in Figure 2.
Figure 5 shows the signalling associated with the service profile change in the second preferred embodiment of the invention, in which it is assumed that the service profile register ensures the updating of the service units in connection with the service profile change. The service units are the same here as in Figure 3. With reference to Figure 5 the mobile station user wishes to know which service profiles he/she has. Therefore he/she requests the information via the mobile station user interface. The mobile station MS sends a signalling message 5-1 (GetProfiles) inquiring about service profiles to the service profile register SPR in order to obtain the subscriber service profiles. If the user knows which profile information he/she wishes to have or if he/she wishes to have only the profile names, then the parameters indicating the kind of information desired are attached to the signaling message. However, it is assumed in this example that he/she wishes to know all the service profiles including their contents.
After reception of the signalling message 5-1 the service profile register searches for the service profiles defined for the mobile station subscriber and sends them to the mobile station MS in a signalling message 5-2 (GetProfilesAck). If the mobile station subscriber is the one whose service profiles are presented in Figure 2 then the signalling message comprises the information presented in columns 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D of Figure 2.
The update signallings 5-6, 5-7, 5-8 and 5-9 described above are not in an absolute chronological order but may occur simultaneously or in any order and partly simultaneously with step 5-5.
The name of the signalling messages presented above in Figures 3, 4 and 5 may differ from what has been presented above without that the information in the messages changes. The messages can also comprise more information than what is mentioned above. Furthermore, all update messages do not have to be sent if the information to be stored in the service unit has not changed. If the terminal does not support different settings and/or the changing of the settings from the network or otherwise automatically, then the update messages are not sent to the terminal.
Figure 6 is a block diagram showing the mobile station MS according to the first preferred embodiment of the invention. In the GSM system the mobile station MS consists of an actual terminal and of a subscriber identifier module SIM which is detachably connected to the terminal. The SIM card used as a subscriber identifier unit in the GSM system, is a processor card, or a smart card, placed in the terminal and comprising, for example, information needed for identifying the subscriber, such as the International Mobile Subscriber Identity IMSI, and a certain amount of memory M2. The actual terminal comprises a transceiver Tx/Rx with antennas, a user interface UI, a control unit CP and memory M1. The mobile station memory thus comprises two parts, a terminal memory M1 and a SIM card memory M2. The terminal settings are generally stored in memory M1 but can also be stored in memory M2.
The user interface UI generally comprises a keyboard, a display, a loudspeaker and a microphone, which are not presented in Figure 6. With the user interface UI the subscriber can study one or all service profiles, view the contents of its service profiles, change the service profile used and give further instructions to the control unit CP. In the first preferred embodiment, the subscriber can also form new service profiles or modify already existing service profiles by using the user interface UI.
The control unit CP obtains from the user interface said inputs associated with the service profiles. The control unit CP can indicate the service profile used for the mobile station MS user via the user interface UI, for example by a message or character appearing on the display. The control unit CP can also give the mobile station user via the user interface sound signals, text instructions or instruction characters associated with the mobile station and/or the function of the mobile communication system in addition to showing service profiles. The control unit receives and sends, for example, signalling messages via the transceiver Tx/Rx. When the user changes his/her service profile in the first preferred embodiment, the control unit CP compiles on the basis of the chosen profile the update messages presented in Figure 3 and sends them to the corresponding service units. The control unit CP also ensures that the mobile station settings in memories M1 and M2 are updated to correspond with the service profile to which the user has changed. In the other embodiments in which the mobile station attends to the update messages, but in which something else than the user triggers the service profile change, the control unit CP attends to the update messages and makes sure that the mobile station settings are updated as described above and inquires, if needed, about the contents of the service profile before updating. For example, a profile change message arriving from the network can function as a trigger.
Figure 7 is a block diagram showing a service profile register of the invention, which is here called a service profile register SPR. The service profile register SPR comprises a database part 5, an application part 6 and a connection part 7. The database part 5 comprises a service profile list 52 for at least one subscriber 51, an example of which is shown in Figure 2. In the second preferred embodiment of the invention the database part also comprises the contact information on the service units associated with the subscriber profiles. The database part can also comprise a subscriber-specific schedule in which the points of time are determined and for each point of time is defined a service profile, which is switched to use at the beginning of the point of time.
Using the connection part 7 the service profile register SPR receives and sends messages and information to the network infrastructure (the network subsystem NSS and the base station subsystem BSS shown in Figure 1) and to the service units outside the network infrastructure (the short message service centre SMSC associated with the short message services and the intelligent network IN shown in Figure 1) and to the terminals (the MS shown in Figure 1) and communicates with the maintenance system of the network (not shown in the Figure).
When the user changes his/her service profile in the second preferred embodiment, the application part 6 compiles on the basis of the chosen profile the update messages presented in connection with Figure 5 and sends them to the corresponding service units. In the other embodiments in which the service profile register attends to the update messages, but the information on the service profile change does not originate from the mobile station but from elsewhere, the application part 6 attends to the update messages and to updating of the service profile list as described above.
The above description and the accompanying drawings are only intended to illustrate the present invention. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the invention can be varied and modified in many ways, without deviating from the scope of the invention disclosed in the attached claims.
