Description
本申请是申请日为1996年1月18日、申请号为96191648.6(国际申请号为PCT/US96/00844)、发明名称为“具有内部计费的移动电话”的中国专利申请的分案申请。
技术领域
本发明涉及一种移动电话系统,其具有用于移动电话的移动电话计费规约,并且特别是涉及一种蜂窝式电话和无线电话,其能够在通信网络中由一个传输站到另一个传输站进行移动。特别是,移动电话计费规约适用于移动计费电话,其中业务提供者的通信业务量通过在每个移动电话单元中完成计费过程就会减小业务提供者通信量处理容量的扩大。移动电话计费规约类似于在US 5325418中的描述,其在此可以结合作参考。在可参考的专利中,描述了一种计费系统,其特别适用于出租电话系统或受控电话系统,如内部联合系统,其中在收到公众或转接业务提供者的帐单之前,进行电话费的周期性计算。在该系统中,电话呼叫数据存储在移动电话机中,并且费用通过在主处理机与电话机之间建立的对话之后由主处理机进行计算。该系统要求在主处理机与移动电话机之间建立通信网络,并且可要求电话机与主处理机进行直接连接。
背景技术
虽然从前已经提出了具有用于无绳电话的内部计帐和信用存储的计帐系统,但是该系统不能对于特别复杂的移动电话系统进行计费,其中在通信网络中包含多业务提供者,并且移动电话允许横跨有限区域移动或漫游,或在特定业务范围内的各单元或横跨多个业务范围移动。在这种情况下,移动电话进行呼叫的位置对于费用的计算就象所呼叫的电话位置或台一样重要。该所添加的复杂性使移动电话的计费过程复杂化了,并且增加了远程计帐系统所要求的通信会话,由此,增加了航线的业务量。
除了要去除在每次呼叫后与业务提供者进行计帐通话的目的以外,具有内部计帐能力的移动电话还极大地扩大了潜在的用户基础,其通过使用分期付款的计帐方式而使具有不完全信用的人可获得移动电话业务。在这种情况下,通过预付业务和呼叫费用可以避免信用危险,其中信用可能会被扩展,其会使信用成为完全不是业务提供者本人提供的,如可以由电话销售者提供,或由为移动电话用户提供信用或预付帐单的计帐公司提供。
本发明的移动电话可以适用于参考专利US 5325418号所述的电话出租系统。因为移动电话机本身包括有计费能力,所以电话出租系统可以得到极大的发展,其允许返回台具有极小的系统软件,并且的确只要求普通的设备来清除计费、收费并储存返回的电话,用以获取或返回到初始台。移动电话机本身可以在飞行中计算费用,并且为复台提供供浏览的累积计费记录。本发明的移动电话系统适用于个人通信业务网络(PCS)以及其他无线通信系统中的模拟或数字蜂窝式电话、无线电话,其中各通信系统要求可以在飞行中进行呼叫计费。
发明内容
具有本发明内部计费的移动电话的移动电话系统涉及无线通信系统,其具有移动通信装置,特别是移动电话,它是无线通信网络的一部分。特别是,本发明涉及一种移动通信装置,如移动电话机,其包括用于在空中进行通信费用的内部计算的内部计费规约。该移动电话机或移动话机典型地是用于蜂窝电话网络的蜂窝电话机,用于个人通信业务网络或其他通信系统中的无线电话,其中通信装置可以由一个位置移动到一个位置,并且需要一个复杂的经费系统,用以计算实时或在飞行中的呼叫费用。
虽然本发明移动电话系统最初计划的使用是用于移动计帐电话机,其中电话费用的实时计算对于限制电话使用或对电话使用的即时付帐是必要的,其中还不适用于公众转接业务提供者和所包括的无线业务提供者的计帐。
在移动电话机内部所完成的实时经费系统极大地扩大了使用该机的潜在用户基础,并且所结合的一定启用和停用特性使得新的商业段可以包含在移动通信工业中。由于信用可靠性可以由业务提供者加以转移,所以零售商、计帐公司、和中间公司的所有者可以在电话用户和业务提供者之间加以结合。另外,业务提供者可以通过提供移动计帐电话给具有预付电话信用或预先认可了信用限制的其用户而扩大其用户的基础,这将在超出信用或信用未能通过航线启用而扩展并且信用转移过程形成该移动电话系统的一部分的情况下使电话机停用。以这种方式,信用危机就可限于可接受的预先规定的水平。
提供这些特征的计费系统可以在移动通信装置中的内部完成,为方便起见,下面将称作移动电话机。计费系统包括复合的计帐算法,其具有多重因子的计费规约,用以计算市话费、移动电话机由一个地区到另一个地区的漫游费、国际电话费,包括国家独立地区费、和附加费,其可能是基于每个话机或速率的。复合的计帐算法可以扩展到用以调节业务提供者或呼叫台或特定折扣的特殊费用或用于数据交换呼叫的额外费用。
复合的算法与计费表一起被存储在电话机中。计费表可以通过主或业务提供者的无线通信而周期性地更新。
可以理解,具有内部计费的移动电话机可以不用对网络进行改进就可以投入到现有的无线通信网络中,并且只进行极小的改进,即最初通过装置的内部再编程序就可以投入到更为现代的移动通信网络中。
移动电话机如蜂窝式电话通常包括内部处理机和足够的内部存储器,用以包含为完成实时计费所必要的程序设计和数据存储。提供多重因子计费规约的复合算法具有足够的精密度,使得呼叫数据的存储和处理能够在实时中以足够的精确度对多业务提供者的多项费用甚至对漫游的电话机的费用进行计算。计费规约使得可以以电话机的启用和停用方式来进行电话使用的内部跟踪,用以保证防止非授权的使用。计费规约进一步包括加密系统,用以允许电话机的启用和许可使用,并且可以在航线上在飞行中计算信用的转移。
在移动电话机中具有内部计费的移动电话系统的这些和其他的特征将通过下列优选实施例的详细描述而变得更为清楚。
附图说明
图1是带有示意示出的系统部分的本发明移动电话计费系统各部分的透视图;
图2是移动电话机基本内部部件的透视图。
具体实施方式
参照图1,本发明的移动电话计费系统通常由标号10表示,其表示可单独使用的跟踪计费单元12,它可由租费代理机构或由移动电话分散中心如零售店加以使用,或由与无线业务提供者联合的中心加以使用。
跟踪计费单元12包括中央处理单元14,其可结合与控制器或数据处理器18耦合的数据输入键盘16,其按顺序地耦合到监视器20上,其监视器20具有显示器22,用以跟踪数据输入并复查。与处理器18相连接的还有外围部件,其包括打印机24,在这里还具有连续的纸辊26,用以打印帐目清单、收据、用户和业务提供者合同等,和信用卡阅读器27,用以信用识别。
包含在移动电话计费系统跟踪单元18的一个实施例中的还有直接耦合的互连接收机28,其示出了安装有手柄的移动电话机30。互连接收机28结构上形成接受器32,可将蜂窝电话机30插入于其中,用以将中央处理单元14的电话机30与数据处理器18直接进行电子耦合。由于在电话机30中的内部拥有计费系统的许多计费功能,使得用以启动和编程电话机的卫星处理器只要求具有调制解调器的个人计算机就可以了,并且母线连接于电话机的连接端口上。
在图1的设置中,互连接收机可起着终端互连的作用,其允许通过电话机30的连接端口而在数据处理器18与移动电话机30之间进行直接“硬线”通信。电话机30的编程和启动可以通过极小保密过程的互连接收机而由处理单元14完成。处理单元14特别适用于开发新用户的帐户,并且其包括必要的数据基本格式,用于将电话授权给用户并跟踪授权的电话,正如在1994年6月23日递交的共同待审申请,名称为“移动电话分布系统”,序号为08/265373中所详细描述的。
移动电话机30最好是具有LCD显示屏32的现代装置,用以显示电话号码、计费数据和其它的数字或字母数据。另外,电话机30包括一个或多个发光二极管34,用以在呼叫过程中以彩色编码光向用户发信号,表示电话机30即将要停止工作。电话机30包括常用的电路和硬件,用以实现通常的通信、传输和接收功能,如图2中所示。电话机30具有收发信机天线36,用于无线通信,并且如下所述,还可以在航线上启用和编程。
在图1的实施例中,中央处理单元14包括调制解调器38,其连接于发送站40上,用以为电话机30a建立无线通信网络,所示还带有其天线,用以扩展接收。发送站40可以是共用中央处理单元14的移动电话系统的一部分,并且可由系统提供者所拥有,或可由外部业务提供者所拥有,并且可以是外部通信网络包括公共转换网络的一部分。
在该操作方式下,中央处理单元14通过硬线通信,可能的话通过公共业务网络与RF发送站40通信,用以在中央处理单元14与移动电话机30a之间进行远程处理。另外,低电平收发信机42,其最好带有位于互连接收机28内的控制线路,可提供在局内范围与电话机30a的RF通信。该特征在零售中心是非常有用的,在那里希望将中央处理单元14定位在计算机室中,并且与顾客交流的售货员可通过一层或多层终端而与中央处理单元通信,出于保密原因其终端具有有限的处理能力。
由于移动电话机30包括有必要的计费功能,用以内部地保存用户呼叫计帐,其至少在出租期间内或周期轮询的期间内在业余时间过程中由中央处理单元14来进行计帐,电话机30和业务处理站44只需要核对汇款或信用凭据的有效性。当用作为计帐电话时,电话可以持续地使用直到帐目被用完,而无须与系统提供者联系。图1所示的业务处理站44包括互连接收机的接受器46,其中可安置有移动电话30b。业务处理站44包括有现金接收狭缝48,用以接收为追加电话内部预付费用所付的现金。业务处理站44还具有卡槽50,用以接收预付款电话卡或信用卡,和袖珍键盘51,以便键入数据。电话卡和信用卡数值的核对可以通过单立业务处理站44来完成,然而,为了防止欺诈,最好是具有阅卡机的业务处理站通过通信线52,如所示,与信用核对中心连接,在这里中央处理单元14通以调制解调器38。电话卡是可废弃的象信用卡的部件,其带有用预付量编码的磁带,并且可以由电话系统单独地出售。为了防止通过将磁带再编程而使分散的卡再使用,卡可以在用后作废,并且卡的序列号可以集中记为无效。
同样地,为了给信用卡核对提供机会,最好是使用与调制解调器38或可代替的与市内信用代理机构直接连接的通信线52。业务处理站44还包括袖珍键盘54,其允许用户选择要加入到电话内部帐上的数量。以这种方式,在移动电话用户希望追加他的电话使用计帐数量时,无须与系统提供者联络,就有机会这样做。在电话机中的呼叫数据要被转储到业务处理站,或被清除以允许涉及增加费用的新数据的累计。可替换的,在帐目已由系统提供者建立时,其可以完全不同于系统与其定合同的无线业务提供者,移动电话用户可以由图1所示的电话机30a通过航路与系统提供者联系而要求增加内部计帐费用。
参见图2,综合电子示意图示出了用于这里所述系统中的典型移动电话机30。电话机30包括处理器56,其起着控制器的作用,用以调整电话机30的功能。处理器56具有相连的存储器,其由EPROM芯片58组成,用以存储微程序语言,其形成话机的机芯操作码,和一个或多个RAM芯片60,其可提供可编程的存储器,并且可以包括命令码以及数据存储,如用于记录呼叫数据。还有,与控制器紧密相连的是时钟芯片64,它可提供呼叫的时间标记。在优选的移动电话机30中,时钟芯片是实时芯片,其可提供用以改变呼叫记录的时间和数据,并且可具有较大的电话使用计划的灵活性。实时时钟芯片的使用不是所述移动电话系统所要求的,而是可用以充分利用记录和跟踪特征。另外,一些特征如设定日期电话的停用就可以使用实时时钟芯片来完成。限制停用的呼叫次数和累计时间可以由定时芯片来负责。
航线通信可通过天线36来提供,其连接于RF收发信机,而收发信机连接于处理器56,并且连接于耳机电话输出70和麦克输入72。音频电路68还连接于处理器56上,用于按键、提示信号等的音频输出。电话机30包括DTMF解码器芯片74和键盘76,用于数据键入,如电话号码,并且用于码的DTMF信号可在航线上与中央处理器对话。最好是,电话机30包括LCD显示屏33,如上所述,以及一系列绿、黄和红LED34,用以可视地提示话机的受迫终止,其可能是因为丧失信用等原因,例如用黄表示五分钟的提示光。通过话机74可以传递音频提示。电话机30是由电池盒78来供电的。
通常,通过替换在制造的现行电话机上的一些特性,如在蜂窝式电话中的常用呼叫号码存储器,使RAM具有足够大,用以接收复合的计费算法,并且设置必要的指令以将蜂窝电话变为实时计帐电话。当现有RAM不适用时,通过安装附加的RAM或ROM进行的改进将允许加入转换码和数据。例如,在新型设计的电话上,新附加的微型程序就包括有复合的计费算法和较多的命令设置部分,其会有利于配置ROM,其具有为RAM所配置的可变的数据如价目表和呼叫记录。可替换的,所有无线附加微型程序和可变数据均可以配置给现有的RAM或所添加的RAM。
电话机30在由制造厂受到时包括有固定的ESN(电子系列号),其对于每个电话机都是独有的。就功能而言,电话机可以进行编程,并且这可以单独地完成,正如在US 5325418中所述,或是以成批的方式完成,如在所参考的应用中所述。现有ESN和GIM(批识别号)是可阅读并存储的,并且可以运行NAM(号规定的组件),转让MIN(移动识别号)、SID(位置识别号)和其它参数,用于启用电话机投入使用。MIN是所转让话机的电话号码,其应该是所转让的最后号码之一,如果完成按步编程用以保存有效MIN的编制清单的话。按步编程可期望对成批电话进行编程并通过SID的识别转让给业务提供者,然后在业务提供者的地区将电话指定给用户。
通常,电话可以通过将电话机安装在中央处理单元14上的互连接收机28上或在与中央处理单元相连接的远程终端上而进行编程。可替换的,电话机30还可以通过下述的DTMF信号采用电话机的寻呼能力在飞行中启用并编程。该特征允许通过发送站而在航线上对话机进行远程编程,而不必非要使话机端口连接器与中央处理单元14直接连接。
在本发明的移动电话系统中,其中移动电话机具有内部计费能力,可以采用对应于所设置指令的码进行编程,使复合计费算式、许可码和其它参数均可以允许电话机成为周期性轮询通信的话机,如在出租环境下或计费单元中,其中计费状态可以在飞行中加以确定并可追加。下表即表I列出了命令设置。命令设置适用于最现代的蜂窝式话机,可以理解,人们期望对不同类型或不同厂商的话机进行改进。如上所述,一些指令可能是不适用的,其中硬件包括时钟芯片,它不提供实际时间和日期,所以期望进行适当的改进。

HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将其硬件版次数以与话机+LRC有关的一定格式发回
由话机发出的数据:
TBD.特指制造厂商的话机
LOCK_PHONE
当话机处于“锁定”方式下时,话机应在其主视屏上显示字“锁定”。话机将完全地停用而处于该方式下,直到HOST发出UNLOCKPHONE指令为止。该方式的目的就是用以保证话机处于出租或记帐式租用之间。而处于该方式下时,可防止用户或使用者偷机时。还有,如果话机在该方式下被偷时,话机将是无用的。这种毫无价值的举动将为话机的供应商提供有意义的保证。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将ACK发回给HOST
UNLOCK_PHONE
该方式刚好与LOCK PHONE或“锁定”方式相反。在该方式下,话机完全不能用。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将ACK发给HOST
RD_CALL_COUNTER
该注解允许HOST读出在租用期间在该话机上已经使用的话机现有次数。由此,HOST将其用作数据示给用户,并且使用该数据来确定在发出RD_PHONE_CALLS指令时话机将发出的字节数。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将DB(2)+LRC发给HOST
两个数据字节由最高有效位到最低有效位为16位。这两个字节表示已经在电话上所呼叫的次数。最后,或第三字节是LRC。
RD_COMMAND_STSTUS
在由HOST进行PP询问过程中的任何时刻下,HOST均可以发出该命令字节即CB,用以确定最后所发出的指令的状态。即使使用了ACK和LRC指令,该指令也可以在PP上提供状态检查。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP+LRC
PP将DB(2)+LRC发回给HOST
由PP所发出的数据:
由话机所发出的DB字节可以用来诊断已出现在话机上的内部问题。如果话机最后指令和现行状态均是好的,那么DB将为0×01。其余字节数值可以留给制造厂商以决定借助该字节而可以恢复的话机特定信息。
RESET_CALLS_MEMORY
如果在租用期间已经接通了DO_CALL_TRACKING的话,话机将在每次呼叫时以17字节的存储块存储呼叫数据。使用该指令或是用来清除存储器或是简单地复位在存储器中的指示点到呼叫数据上。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP+LRC
PP将ACK发给HOST
RESET_ILLEGAL_CALLS
业务提供者已经创出了一个小算法,其可让话机执行呼叫限制。该特征使业务提供者可以有权在源即话机上阻塞数字段或阻塞整个数字。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB+DB(63)+LRC发给PP
PP将ACK发给HOST
由HOST所发出的数据:
KL=钥匙长度,数字计数器用于搜索 1字节
KEY=用以搜索的实际数字 7字节
ODS=偏离数字串末端进行搜索 1字节
总共: 9字节
用于分组的数字的总数是7,其可以给我们7*9=63字节的配置数据。
ENABLE_ALL_CALLS
该指令使呼叫限制特征不能用。如果已经将该指令发给话机的话,那么将在呼叫限制算法中执行步骤2.0和2.1。另一方面,如果将RESTRICT_ILLEGAL_CALLS发给带有配置数据的话机的话,话机将被置于呼叫限制方式。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP+LRC
PP将ACK发给HOST
RD_TELTPHONE_ESN
HOST要求ESN,并且话机将ESN发给HOST。ESN只是NAM中的非可变部分,使得话机可以被跟踪。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将DB(×)+LRC发给HOST
给HOST所发的数据:
发给HOST的数据取决于制造厂商使用的格式。
WR_NAM
借助于HOST写入NAM提供了一些益处在于:
1.由雇员漏编程序而导致不良业务;
2.防欺诈在于,话机只能借助于该指令进行编程;因此,这样阻止了个人简单偷用租借的话机以及获得其它某处的服务。
3.安全有效地将话机由一地移到另一地;和
4.在租用/记帐地方无须要求培训就可以启用电话机。
下列是需要在模拟蜂窝话机上编程的参数总表:
-MIN,移动识别号
-SID,系统ID(A侧是一的同时B侧就是偶数)
-GIM,组识别标记/ID(典型地为0-15)

-LOCK,用户锁定码
-SS,系统选择(只A,只B,或标准A-B/B-A方式)
-ICPH,初始寻呼通道(334B,333A)
HOST和PP相互作用:

PP将ACK发给HOST
发给PP的数据:
NAM数据多少都要进行标准化,而每个话机制造厂商通常均已对此在规约中作了。
RD_NAM
RD_NAM或读出NAM功能正好与WR_NAM或写入NAM相反。再有,这些已经在制造厂商的话机中建立了。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将DB(×)+LRC发给HOST
WR_SCRATCH_PAD
该“暂时”存储器是存储器的一部分,系统提供者可以用来在话机中存储重要的信息。该信息可以是记帐信息,租用信息或多地引出信息。由于具有在话机上存储少量数据的能力,使系统提供者可以打开门户以获得更多的新特征。该特征还为系统提供者提供了在软件方面进行将来更新的能力,其可以获取该存储器的优点。达到1K,1024字节的尺寸的存储器均是适用的。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB+DB(×)+LRC发给PP
PP将ACK发给HOST
RD_SCRATCH_PAD
这正好与WD_SCRATCH_PAD相反。采用该指令,话机将可发出“暂时”存储给HOST。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将DB(×)+LRC发给HOST
WR_LOCK_DATE
建立告诉话机的能力,以便在某个日期时关断。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB+DB(3)+LRC发给PP
PP将ACK发给HOST
发给PP的数据:
数据的日期格式略有不同在于,它不包含时间信息,而包含年的信息。BCD的格式为YYMMDD。
例如:
1968年7月21日将为680721
RD_LOCK_DATE
这恰好与WR_LOCK_DATE相反。这可以用于识别或找出在话机中的现行锁定日期。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将DB(3)+LRC发给HOST
发给HOST的数据:
数据DB(3)是以在WR_LOCK_DATE中所述格式的日期。
登记
该登记指令为话机制造厂商和系统提供者起着保证特性的作用。在任何HOST和PP相互作用出现以前,HOST随着口令必须发出该指令。由此,所发出的任何指令才可以工作。如果还没有发出该指令的话,那么PP将不会对任何指令加以响应。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB+DB(16)+LRC发给PP
PP将DB(16)+LRC发给HOST
发给PP的数据
数据口令可以是由系统提供者所选择的缺省口令。
发给HOST的数据:
数据然后折回到HOST。这样会帮助表示系统提供者与用户如自动电话之间的关系。
WR_CONF_DATA
这是配置结构,其包含所有必要的参数,用以提供计帐业务。该数据包括各项,即拨号信息、相关的和其它配置信息,包括复合计帐算法,其允许在电话机内的内部计费。一旦该数据安装就位,并且发出DO_DEBIT_MODE指令时,话机将开始使用该信息来处理通话费用。
RD_CONF_DATA
该指令将读出通过WR_CONF_DATA所写入的配置数据。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将DB(×)+LRC发给HOST
来自话机的数据:
该数据(DB(×))是在WR_CONF_DATA中所讨论的数据结构的大小。这可以根据实施和话机的限制而变化。随着该数据,还应有LRC。
WR_DOLLAR_AMOUNT
该指令用于更新话机中当前的钱限。由于这是一个单一指令,所以在此要冒极大的缺省危险。因此有少量的额外数据,可用以帮助阻止所建立的缺省。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB+许可号码+LRC发给PP
PP将ACK发给HOST
发给话机的数据:
HOST将发出CB,然后是有效许可号码,随后是LRC。该许可号码与“在飞行中”发给话机的或借助于键盘手动键入的许可号码是相同的。
RD_DOLLAR_AMOUNT
该指令恢复了话机中的现有钱量。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将DB(2)+LRC发给HOST
发给HOST的数据:
在两组钱数据中DB(2)数据具有最先的最高位字节和最后的最低位字节。
例如:
DB(2)=0002,其将变换为值2。
DO_CALL_TRACKING
该指令接入了呼叫跟踪特征。如果话机处于呼叫方式的话,话机将看到RD_PHONE_CALLS指令,并保存所作的所有呼叫,使得它们可在最后的时候用来给用户开列帐单。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将ACK发给HOST
NO_CALL_TRACKING
该指令接入了呼叫跟踪特征。该指令在话机供给者希望在较长的或不确定的时间周期在某区域关掉话机时是有用的。该指令将可以用于将计帐话机配置在工厂或分配中心,使得它们将准备用于零售市场。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将ACK发给HOST
DO_DEBIT_MODE
该指令告诉话机开始处理并使用WR_CONF_DATA和WRDOLLAR_
AMOUNT的数据。当该方式启用时,话机开始在话机使用时计入钱数的过程中监视每次电话呼叫。基于由WR_CONF_DATA所提供的配置数据,话机将减少在话机使用过程中每一分钟的WR_DOLLARAMOUNT量。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将ACK发给HOST
NO_DEBIT_MODE
该指令告诉话机不进行计帐处理。这将很可能会在用户无论什么时候想要跟踪使用者在租借情况下定期寻呼时使用。再有,如果接入寻呼跟踪并发出指令的话,则只跟踪寻呼,并且在存储器满了时话机应当锁定。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将ACK发给HOST
ENABLE_AIR_ACTIVIATION
将指令ENABLE_AIR_ACTIVIATION和DISABLE_AIRACTIVIATION用于用户的原因在于,其不想在空中为客户启动计帐。通过断开空中启动,用户就可以具有较少的空间用以欺诈。该特征也可以用于建立添加电话的数值或相同话机的不同组件等。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将ACK发给HOST
DISABLE_AIR_ACTIVIATION
当将该指令发给话机时,话机将不再借助于DTMF音频接收计帐更新。唯一的途径就是,话机将只接收借助于键盘或借助于自身业务收发信站来进行更新。
HOST和PP相互作用:
HOST将CB发给PP
PP将ACK发给HOST
当已完成了上述指令设置以建立HOST这里即中央控制单元14与PP这里是移动电话机30之间接口规约时,电话机可以进行编程以响应上述的HOST和受限用户指令。用户指令的设置允许在中央控制单元或其代用品与电话机之间的通信对话。
当执行WR_CONF_DATA指令时,电话机将加载必要的数据和码,包括复合的计帐算法,使得电话机在接入并执行DO_DEBIT_MODE指令时起着计帐话机的作用。
复合计帐算法将移动话机的电话寻呼的多个变量分解成为计帐方程,其实际上反映出由公共转换网络提供者并包括无线业务提供者所考虑的因素,(其中在单一寻呼中可以包含有一个以上的因子)。最后得到的寻呼费用精确到大约实时费用的总和,其将通过能进行费用日常计算所包括的提供者而进行计帐。实际上,任何误差都可以进行编程,以便有利于计费系统提供者在计帐时达到最小。通过在电话机30中包含有价目表,就可以避免与系统提供者对话,其系统提供者可能是由无线业务提供者分出的实体。由于通过复合计帐算法所使用的价目表在任何时候均可以改变,所以本发明移动电话系统提供了在飞行中在系统提供者初始时更新在每个话机中的内部价目表。每个电话均可以在业余时间通过系统提供者而进行轮询和更新。最好是,在用户用以增加内部电话计费时,将更新的价目表进行编码。
在所述复合计帐算法中,使用了表III中的缩写字。

用于上述记录字段的配置数据说明如下:
—最大国际数位-这是国家的国家代码最大长度。例如,USA具有1位国家代码,而委内瑞拉具有58位国家代码。如果世界上只是这两个国家的话,那么最大国际数位将是2。这不是具体情况,我们典型地将其设置为或是3或是5,这取决于计帐的需求。
—最小国际数位-这是国家代码的最小长度。这几乎在所有情况下均设定为1。
—最长距离数位-这是城市区位码的最大长度。这在第三世界国家有很大变化。这在USA将总是设定为3,因为所有区位码都是长度为3。然而,一些国家的区位码是在1个数位到5或是更大的数位范围内。
—最短距离数位-这刚好与最长距离数位相反。对于USA来说,这将总是设定为3,而USA以外的国家将有所变化。
—最大本地数位-这是用于寻呼本地号码所取数位的最大长度。这在USA被规定为7,而在其它国家有很大的变化。
—最小本地数位-这是用于接入本地寻呼所取的最小数位长度。这即使USA在也将有很大变化。这可以用于产生计帐的不同效果。然而,由于计帐式话机的范围,这将很可能总是设是设定为0或只在USA设定。(0将用于呼入的计费)
—国际存取码-这是所要求的前缀,其必须是可以拨到的,用以直接拨到国际寻呼。从USA,用户将可以按顺序拨011+国家代码+城市/地区代码+本地代码,就可以接入一个国际寻呼。这对于国家到国家有很大的变化。在上述中的7位的长度为系统提供者提供了象加勒比海地区的服务能力。他们要求标准的7位数作为前缀。(这刚好是接入加勒比海的一个实例)
—长途存取码-这是用户所要求的数字或数位,用以接入长途寻呼。在USA,用户将拨1+,有时称作1加拨号。在其它国家,这可能会由简单的0到一定长度的数位变化,如菲律宾就是108。
—是否要求长途存取码-在一些蜂窝式系统中,不要求你拨长途存取码以接入长途寻呼。例如,在旧金山,如果人们想要调用犹他州信息的话,所有人都将拨801-555-1212,1-801-555-1212也将会到同样的地方。如果要求长途存取码的话,它将帮助精确的帐单计算。
—第三方前缀/接线员/寻呼卡-这实际上是必须拨到接线员的数字。在USA,0是到接线员所必须的数字。它也是接入集呼或计帐卡呼叫所必须的数字。
—计帐延迟-在经过X秒以后,计帐才开始。因为,话机不知道确切的电话接入时间,我们必须估计这种连接。如果电话要花X秒的话,那么用户将对此不用付帐。然而,如果呼叫持续了X秒的话,那么用户都将为其击SND到END的时间或电话断了的时间开始付帐。
—家用SID-这是蜂窝系统的ID,该话机是被指定的。
—家用区位码-这是蜂窝电话号或MIN,即移动识别号的区位码。
—每分钟基本存取费用-该费用要对每个电话进行寻呼进行计费。这是电话寻呼的基本计费。该计费只有一种情况将不计费,那就是没有达到计费延迟时间。
—每分钟长途附加费-该费用是在接入电话被确认为长途时在基本费用基础上加入。
—每分钟国际附加费-该费用是在接入电话被确认为国际电话时在基本费用基础上加入。
—每天漫游的附加费-该费用是在寻呼是漫游寻呼并且该费用在当天还未交时在基本费用基础上加入的。
—每分钟漫游附加费-该费用是在寻呼是漫游寻呼时在基本费用基础上以及可能的每天漫游附加费基础上加入的。
—接线员辅助附加费-该费用是在寻呼以第三方前缀/接线员数字开始时在基本费用基础上加入的,或是为接入的呼叫连接于被确定为数据传送呼叫或类似呼叫的付费。
—锁定日期-这是话机将不再使用的日期。话机将显示“锁定日期”,并且将不能使用,直到其借助于HOST或许可号进行再编程。
—非付帐区域码-这是要付帐的区域码或数字。这在USA将设定800。(注:只是费用的长途部分不付帐)
—话机漫游的最后日期-这是用以存储用户每天漫游付费的最后日期。如果寻呼是漫游的并且当天还不等于话机漫游的最后日期的话,那么将要提供每天漫游的费用。
—非付帐号码-这是一组至少11位长度的5位数,其提供了对一些电话号码不付帐的灵活性。象911号码或用于漫游的其它特定号码如*18。即使话机没钱了或被锁定了,还是可以拨任何非付帐号码。以这种方法,如果用户的话机以计帐方式用完钱了的话,用户可以使用话机寻呼非付帐号码,即客户的后援,以便追加话机的帐目。
—随机号码组-这是一组在1000-9999范围的数字,其用于将许可号码进行解码。
基本复合计帐算法计算了电话费用,即对于基本种类象本地寻呼,长途寻呼,国际寻呼和漫游寻呼。由于算法允许类别复合,寻呼类别可以是各因子的复合,如,引入漫游长途寻呼。算法很容易扩展到其它的类别,如数据传送寻呼,对此可能要提供折扣或额外费用。
在将寻呼分类时,下列因素需要考虑,其覆盖了所有情况:
-本地寻呼-如果呼叫数字长度小于或等于最大本地数位,并且寻呼数位长度大于或等于最小本地数位的话,这就是本地寻呼。
-长途寻呼-首先,长途寻呼分类最麻烦,因为存在许多的可能性。然而,这可以归结为几种试验。
如果号码是以长途存取码开始的话,那么从寻呼数位的长度中减去长途存取码长度。(即,如果I拨1-510-838-2400,长度为11-1=10)
如果现行计算的寻呼长度小于或等于(最大本地数位+最大长途数位),并且寻呼数位长度大于或等于(最小本地数位+最小长途数位)的话,那么:
如果寻呼不以长途存取码开始,并且长途存取码所要求的标记设定为是时,那么该寻呼就不是合法的长途寻呼。(这有助于第三世界)
下列特定情况被考虑:
—是否是漫游寻呼?
如果现有话机的SID在接入寻呼时不等于5个家用SID的任何一个的话,那么该寻呼就是漫游寻呼。
—第三方前缀/接线员辅助寻呼
如果任何寻呼以第三方前缀开始的话,那么该寻呼完全不用付帐。
—计帐延迟
如果寻呼所花时间是处于计帐延迟秒以下的话,那么该寻呼完全不用付帐。
—日期锁定
如果现有日期等于或大于现行锁定日期的话,话机应锁定并显示“锁定日期”。
下列实例提供了计算各种寻呼的概要:
M =寻呼所花的分钟数
L =每分钟本地通话费用
LD =每分钟长途电话费用
IT =每分钟国际电话费用
RD =每天漫游费用
RM =每分钟漫游费用
本地 =M*L
长途 =M*(L+LD)
国际 =M*(L+IT)
进线寻呼 =M*L
本地漫游寻呼 =M*(L+RM)+RD(如果RD当天没有使用的话)
长途漫游 =M*(L+RM+LD)+RD(如果RD当天没有使用的话)
国际漫游 =M*(L+RM+IT)+RD(如果RD当天没有使用的话)
一旦寻呼已被分类的话,应尽可能接近按SND,上述费用要求以分钟为基础来细微地跟踪。一个理由是,如果用户的寻呼的中断或寻呼所不期望的终止的话,系统提供者希望能够按接近用户实际通话的分钟数来计算话费。在通话过程中话机每分钟都在更新计帐数目。因此,对于本地寻呼,按分钟计算的分钟可能如下:
总费用=总费用+L
如果在使用现有费用情况下通信时间少于5分钟的话,用户应当注意到声音或一组耳机中发出的声音,并注意到在话机屏上或由提示灯的提示。
本发明的移动电话系统允许在空中启动并且使用DTMF信号与电话机30对话,并且移动电话具有与接收机解码器寻呼的能力。电话机内部计费中现有允许的钱量可以在空中被更新。在系统提供者的中央处理单元与用户电话机之间进行DTMF对话过程中,用户话机的许可密码被传送和识别。要检查用户的费用以确定是否追加是有保证的或是存在信用危机。追加量可以加以保密,并且键入保密许可数字,并将费用一览表的日期一同发送给用户。
当用户用完了电话机30内部计费中的钱时,电话机被锁定,并且显示器33显示“EMPTY-LOCKED”。电话机30被置于页面方式,其能使用户用来为追加费用而进行寻呼。
同样地,当使用期限期满时,电话机30被锁定,显示器33显示“锁定日期”,并且其置于页面方式。在用户具有较低计费平帐情况下,他会自愿地进入页面方式,并且接触用户业务,以进行费用追加。
如果期望,电话机在偶然处于页面方式下时会限制页面功能,这只有与业务中心联系,并且接收许可号。这使话机不能用,即使作为寻呼机,并且进入到出租状态下。另外,处于锁定下的电话机仍可以保留完整的页面能力。
可以理解,所有数据保密发出在这里均未寻址,并且实施的保密检测取决于使用环境,和在业务网络中系统提供者的位置。追加费用是话机所特有的,并且可以使用与话机相同的参数在话机内部进行校验。校验后的许可号除了加密形式以外可以不存储,或让用户知道。
本发明的移动电话系统提供上述特征提供了极大的灵活性。话机零售商可以在一定的场合下不用特殊的设备就可以销售并启用。进一步地,具有内部计费的话机还可以预付服务费,并且调用使用费用,使零售商可以进行信用评价或现金销售而与业务提供者无关。还有,系统提供者的任务是由零售商、业务提供者或独立机构设想的,其设想了危险或只提供现金预付交易。
在上述中,为实现本发明的目的对本发明的实施例进行了详细的描述,很明显,对于本技术领域的普通专业人员来说,可以对细节进行各种改变,但其均不会脱离本发明的精神和原理。
