More particularly, the present invention relates to a calling area in which an originator is currently located in an integrated mobile communication network incorporating a mobile communication identification number to provide a mobile communication service. The present invention relates to a method and system for displaying a calling area name in an integrated environment of identification number for displaying a name to a called terminal along with a calling number.

Recently, the "caller ID indication service", which has gained good response from the subscribers of the mobile communication service, is a call-related additional service, which is usually abbreviated as "Caller ID" service, that is, "CID" service. These CID services are called callers using the Consultative Committee on International Telephone and Telegraphy (CCITT), signaling standards in accordance with the current International Telecommunications Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) V.32 protocol. It is a service that provides the name, or the telephone number as a unique identification number, time information according to call origination and incoming calls.

Currently, the CID service is widely used in terms of the benefits of protecting the privacy of the receiver related to the telephone call and the protection of the option of receiving a call through identification of the caller. In addition, even in a mobile phone using a mobile communication network, when a call is received by a call, the caller information displayed on the display window is checked, and the call is selected and made.

On the other hand, in the mobile communication network, the government integrates a mobile communication identification number integration policy that integrates all mobile subscribers' identification numbers into '010' from new subscribers and maintains their own phone numbers even if the mobile service provider is changed. It is going to be carried out in the dimension. In the meantime, users of second-generation mobile terminals such as cellular and PCS have to use the mobile phone number even if they do not like it because the mobile phone number is changed even if they want to change their subscription. It is true that mobile operators have been focusing on increasing customer numbers rather than improving service or quality. Mobile communication identification number integration can be conveniently used by pressing only the eight-digit telephone number without pressing the three-digit identification number between mobile phone subscribers, and also has the effect of eliminating unfair fertilization between companies caused by the mobile phone identification number.

However, assuming that the identification number integration service is being executed in this way, for example, a subscriber having a telephone number including '011' is assigned to a mobile communication company (hereinafter, referred to as '019 communication company') of the '019' identification number. In a subscribed state, when a subscriber is subscribed to a mobile communication company of the identification number '011' (hereinafter referred to as '011 communication company') and has a telephone number including the telephone number including '019', the called party is called. When the above-described CID service is set in the mobile terminal, the telephone number including the caller number '011' is displayed on the called mobile terminal. Therefore, the called party subscriber checks the calling party number including '011' and misinterprets the caller subscribed to the 019 communication company as having subscribed to the 011 communication company. In addition, when the called party checks the caller's phone number and determines who the caller is, he or she can check where he or she is living. have.

In addition, when the location of the caller who is frequently required to locate the caller, for example, an acquaintance carrying the mobile terminal, an elderly person, a child, a logistics transporter, or a missing person, needs the location of the caller.

Of course, when the originating region display server 140 has an outgoing call from the wired terminal 182 to the mobile terminals 110 and 150, the originating area display server 140 corresponds to the jurisdiction switch information of the wired terminal 182 that has been transmitted through the PSTN 180. The calling area name is transmitted to the called terminal.

The calling area database 142 stores the area names of the communication jurisdiction area of each base station managed by a plurality of mobile communication companies, including 019 mobile communication companies and 011, 016, 017, and 018 as data.

For example, the area name corresponding to the 011 base station installed in Gwanak-gu, Seoul is "Seoul Gwanak", and the area name corresponding to the 019 base station installed in Dongnae-gu, Busan is "Dongnae Busan". If there are a plurality of base stations in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, even if the caller's location is located in any of the jurisdictions of the plurality of base stations in the Gwanak-gu, the calling area name corresponds to “Seoul Gwanak”. Of course, when a plurality of base stations are installed in the same area and each base station manages a plurality of cells, one cell area corresponds to the "dong" of the administrative unit, for example, "Seoul Gwanak Bongcheon" or "Gwangju Dong-gu name". Etc., it can be stored in correspondence with each base station cell.

In addition, the source area database 142 stores the area name corresponding to the location of the exchanges connected to the PSTN 180 as data. For example, a local name "Seoul Gwanak" corresponds to a public telephone network switch in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, and a local name "Naju Jeonnam" corresponds to a public telephone network switch in Naju, Jeonnam.

The PSTN 180 provides a communication path for communication between the wired terminals 182 or the wired terminal 182 to make a phone call with the mobile terminals 110 and 150 through the mobile switching centers 130 and 170. .

The calling area display server 140 includes a program storage unit 210, a memory 220, a control unit 230, a display unit 240, a communication unit 250, a database server 260, a key input unit 270, and the like. .

When there is a call request from any of the mobile terminals 110 and 150, the program storage unit 210 checks whether the called-party mobile terminal is subscribed to the calling area name display service, and sends the call request to the mobile terminal 110. Calling location name display service that obtains the location information from the HLR 132 or the VLR 134, reads the area name corresponding to the location information from the calling area database 142, and transmits it to the called mobile terminal. The program is saved.

The calling region name display service program may be implemented in various ways according to the operating system (OS) of the calling region display server 140. For example, a program such as a 'C' programming language or an object-oriented 'C ++' or 'Java' program. Can be implemented in a language

The memory 220 temporarily stores data processed by the controller 230 or temporarily stores call request data received from the mobile switching centers 130 and 170. The call request data includes the telephone number of the calling mobile terminal and the telephone number of the called mobile terminal.

The control unit 230 controls the overall device of the origination region display server 140, in particular, when the call request data of the mobile terminal (110, 150) is received from the mobile switching center (130, 170), the movement that sent the call request The location information of the terminals 110 and 150 is obtained from the HLR 132 or the VLR 134, and the area name corresponding to the location information is read from the source area database 142 and received via the mobile switching center 130 or 170. The process of transmitting to the mobile terminal is controlled.

The display unit 240 displays various situations or data so that an administrator who manages the calling area display server 140 may monitor and displays the processing status of the calling area name display service.

The communication unit 250 is a communication module that provides a communication interface for communication with the mobile switching centers 130 and 170.

The database server 260 controls data input and output of the source region database 142. The database server 260 updates and stores the data input from the key input unit 270 in the calling area database 142 under the control of the controller 230. That is, when the mobile communication company installs a new base station or transfers the base station, the key base unit 270 is operated to update or change the area name accordingly because the new base station is newly assigned or changed. When a command for updating a region name corresponding to a base station is input, the database server 260 updates and stores a new region name for an existing base station, or allocates and stores a new region name for a new base station. In addition, the database server 260 reads and outputs the region name corresponding to the base station stored in the origination region database 142.

The database server 260 may be connected to the origination region display server 140 using, for example, an "Oracle9i DB Release 2" server program from Oracle or a server program of "MS-SQL Server 2000" from Microsoft. Installed by software.

The key input unit 270 is used for inputting data when the administrator manually adds or updates the information content of the origin region display server 140. In addition, when updating the originating region name display service program of the program storage unit 210, or when updating the program of the database server 260 is used for data input.

That is, the origination region display service system 100 configured as described above is from the 011 mobile terminal 150 subscribed to the 019 communication company, and the origination region name display service is set up, and the 019 mobile terminal 110 subscribed to the 019 communication company. When making a call, the call request signal sent from the 011 mobile terminal 150 is transmitted to the 011 mobile switching center 170 via the 011 wireless base station 160. In this case, for example, it is assumed that the caller is located in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, and the call request signal transmitted from the 011 mobile terminal 150 includes the calling party number and the called party number. The 011 mobile switching center 170 transmits the call request signal of the 011 mobile terminal 150 to the originating area display server 140 together with the base station information. On the other hand, the calling area display server 140 checks whether the called number is subscribed to the calling area name display service based on the call request signal, and if it is subscribed, the location of the 011 mobile terminal 150 which sent the call request signal. After the information is obtained by inquiring to the HLR 132, 172 or the VLR 134, 174, the calling area name corresponding to the location information is read from the calling area database 142, and 011 moves together with the call request signal of the 011 mobile terminal 150. It transmits the origination area name of the terminal 150, 'Seoul Gwanak' to the 019 mobile switching center 130 in charge of the 019 mobile terminal 110 as the called party. The 019 mobile switching center 130 checks the 019 mobile terminal 110 as the called terminal based on the call request signal, and the 019 mobile terminal 110 via the 019 wireless base station 120 together with the call request signal. Send it to). Accordingly, the 019 mobile terminal 110 displays the calling area name (Seoul Gwanak) together with the received caller phone number. Accordingly, the user of the 019 mobile terminal 110 can easily identify who the caller is and the caller who is calling from the Gwanak-gu area of Seoul through the calling area name display service.

3 is a diagram illustrating a case where a calling area name indication service according to the present invention is applied to a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) 2000 1x Evolution Data Optimized (EV-DO) system that provides an International Mobile Telecommunication-2000 (IMT-2000) service; It is a block diagram.

The IMT-2000 system for multimedia mobile communication service has defined the standard of the synchronous IMT-2000 system in 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Projects) 2, an international standardization organization. The method based on (High Data Rate) was named "CDMA 2000 1x EV-DO" and was confirmed as an international standard. CDMA 2000-1x EV-D0 is a communication standard of CDMA 2000 1X that specifies that only data is transmitted and is an evolution from CDMA 2000 1X.

CDMA 2000 1X provides a one-way high-speed data service with a transmission rate of up to 307.2 Kbps in the form of a mixture of a circuit network and a packet network. On the other hand, CDMA 2000 1x EV-D0 provides a bidirectional high speed data service with a transmission rate of up to 2.4 Mbps for packet networks only.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the CDMA 2000 1X system will be abbreviated as "1X system" and the CDMA 2000 1x EV-DO system "as" EV-DO system ".

Currently, EV-DO systems are used interchangeably with existing 1X systems. That is, the EV-DO system and the 1X system are installed at the same time in one base station or base station controller, but operations are performed separately. That is, when transmitting multimedia data from a system such as a base station or a base station controller to a mobile terminal, the transmission is performed using an EV-DO system, and in the case of voice, the transmission is performed using a 1X system.

In other words, the base station transmitter is provided with a channel card for the EV-DO system and a channel card for the 1X system, respectively. In addition, the base station controller also includes a data processing board for processing packet data transmitted and received in the EV-DO system and a data processing board for processing data transmitted and received in the 1X system. Therefore, when multimedia data is transmitted to a mobile terminal in a mobile communication system such as a wireless base station or a base station controller, the multimedia data is transmitted to the EV-DO system, and the voice or data is transmitted to the 1X system.

As shown in FIG. 3, the origination area name indication service system 300 according to the present invention has a configuration in which the EV-DO system and the 1X system are mixed. That is, to have a configuration that includes a hybrid terminal (HAT: Hybrid Access Terminal, 310), 1X transmitter 322, 1X controller 332 and Mobile Switching Center (MSC) (130) for the transmission of voice signals In order to transmit multimedia data, the hybrid terminal 310, an access network transceiver (ANT-S) transmitter (ANTS) 324 and an access network controller (AN-CC) controller (ANC) 334 ), A Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN) 340, and an Internet Protocol (IP) network 350.                     

The hybrid terminal 310 capable of accommodating both communication services provided in a state where the EV-DO system and the 1X system are mixed, periodically monitors two systems at regular intervals. That is, the hybrid terminal 310 periodically searches for the EV-DO system when the hybrid terminal 310 does not use the EV-DO system, and periodically searches for the 1X system for the traffic using the EV-DO system.

In particular, in the traffic state of the EV-DO system, the hybrid terminal 310 responds to a call signal such as a voice call connection signal or a short message that may be transmitted from the 1X system and periodically registers its location with the 1X system. It connects to the system and updates system resources such as system messages and access messages.

Accordingly, the hybrid terminal 310 is provided with a voice service and a low speed data service through the 1X system, and has a hardware-separated configuration so that high speed data service can be provided through the EV-DO system. The hybrid terminal 310 is switched to the 1X mode to communicate through the 1X system in the standby state waiting for communication, and to the EV-DO system at a predetermined time interval to check whether data has been received by the EV-DO system. It performs the operation of switching to switching mode and returning to 1X mode again.
