The present invention relates to a method for providing a user nickname display service. More specifically, the called party's nickname registered in another person's name of the address book is displayed to the calling mobile terminal while waiting for a call connection based on the caller's address address registered in the address book server. The present invention relates to a caller / caller nickname display service providing method associated with a user's address book such that a caller's nickname registered in a user's business card of an address book is displayed to a called mobile communication terminal.

Recently, thanks to the development of wired and wireless communication technology, users can subscribe to caller nickname display service (aka lettering service) to move others' names, nicknames, and specific phrases in advance while waiting to connect with others. It can be displayed on a communication terminal (or a landline telephone). The caller nickname display service allows the caller to express personality to the called party through the nickname designated by the caller. In particular, the caller can check who received the call from the callout displayed on the display and can receive the call selectively. To make it work.

On the other hand, when the caller calls the called party, the caller requests a call connection by directly inputting the telephone number of the called party. However, it is unreasonable for a caller to memorize all the telephone numbers of a large number of called parties correctly, and when a wrong button operation is inputted and an incorrect number is input, a call connection is often made with an unwanted third party. In other words, the caller provides the nickname to the called party, while the caller cannot recognize the called person's name, nickname, and information while waiting to make a call. I'm hanging.

In order to overcome the above problems, there is a conventional technology that allows the caller to check the information of the called party while waiting for a call connection. In other words, thanks to the recent memory technology of mobile communication terminals, more phone numbers can be stored in the memory. Therefore, when the caller makes a call, the user selects the called party's phone number stored in the terminal phonebook or displays a name corresponding to the caller's input phone number on the display so that the caller confirms that the called party's phone number is correct. I can do it.

However, despite the memory improvement of the mobile communication terminal, most of the space is allocated to the content storage such as video, music, etc., and in particular, only a part of the space for the phone book is allocated. Accordingly, most mobile communication terminals store up to about 200 telephone numbers.

In particular, if the called party's phone number is not stored in the terminal phonebook, and if the caller fails to store the called party's phone number due to exceeding the phonebook capacity, the called party's phone number is changed and the caller recognizes this, but the existing called party in the terminal phonebook. If the phone number is stored as it is, when the caller calls the called party's phone number, such as a note paper, a computer, etc., the phone book of the mobile communication terminal as described above is unable to provide the other caller information.

On the other hand, in recent years, in the era of digital information, most people use information such as names of others, mobile phone / home / company phone numbers, e-mail addresses, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “address book”) to mobile terminals, computers, PDAs, and electronic notebooks. After registering, "I'll be able to check the personal information of others conveniently while I'm on the go, at work, and at home. In particular, such an address book has a name field, which allows a user to directly input an alias, a phrase, etc., even if the user does not have a real name, and register a business card containing his or her information in the address book.

For example, a user enters a company and manages work contacts in an address book stored on a computer, and fills in e-mails received through a mail sending program (e.g., Microsoft's Outlook, Outlook-Express, etc.). Integrated contacts, email addresses, etc. into the above address book. Meanwhile, the above user manages the contact information of another person in the address book stored in the mobile communication terminal while on the outside, and provides personal contact information through instant messenger (e.g., Nate-on messenger of SK Telecom Co., Ltd.) Manage it by listing it in the address book.

As described above, a specific user's address book is distributed and managed in a personal computer, a mobile terminal, a mail sending program, and an instant messenger, respectively. Recently, thanks to address book synchronization technology, a user's address book is distributed to various address books. It can be integrated into the server. That is, the address book server integrally stores a phone number and a user nickname through data synchronization with a mobile communication terminal, a computer, a PDA, and an electronic notebook. The phone number received from a user through a website, an instant messenger, an e-mail, etc. Store user nickname, etc. Here, since the DB of the address book server is larger than the memory of the mobile communication terminal, it can be seen that there is no problem in storing all the address books of a specific user.

Therefore, even if there is no information of the called party in the terminal phone book, the caller can determine the called party's information in advance while waiting for a call, based on the called name [nickname, phrase] and phone number in the calling address book registered in the address book server. There is an urgent need for technology that prevents erroneous betting.

In addition, based on the calling card in the calling address book registered in the address book server, the called party can grasp the calling party's information while waiting for the call to be connected so that the calling party can express his or her personality and the caller knows who the call is coming from. There is an urgent need for technology.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems and to meet the above requirements, and is registered in another person's name field of the address book by the calling mobile communication terminal while waiting for a call connection based on the caller address book registered in the address book server. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for providing a caller / caller nickname display service in association with a user address book so that a called party nickname is displayed and a caller nickname registered in a user's business card of the address book is displayed on the called mobile communication terminal.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for providing a user nickname display service, wherein a user address book including a user nickname of a user of a mobile communication terminal is moved to an address book server interworking with a home location register of a mobile communication network. When the calling mobile communication terminal requests a call connection to the called mobile communication terminal, the calling mobile communication exchange is the calling home location register, and the caller of the calling mobile communication terminal is the user. A first step of authenticating by the calling home location register when inquiring whether or not a subscriber is subscribed to a nickname display service; A second step of, if the caller is subscribed to the user nickname display service as a result of the authentication, inquiring the called party nickname as the user nickname of the called party of the called mobile communication terminal from the address book server; And a third step of instructing the originating mobile communication exchange to transmit the called party's nickname to the calling mobile terminal when the called party's nickname is received from the address book server as a result of the called party's nickname query.

In addition, the present invention, the destination home location register, the step of inquiring the caller nickname to the address book server when the caller is notified from the originating mobile communication switch that the caller is subscribed to the service [caller nickname display option]; And when the caller nickname is returned from the address book server as a result of the caller nickname query, the called home location register further comprising instructing the called mobile communication exchange to transmit the caller nickname to the corresponding called mobile terminal.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the present invention, detailed descriptions of well-known functions or configurations will be omitted if it is determined that the detailed description of the present invention may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention. Terms to be described later are terms defined in consideration of functions in the present invention, and may be changed according to intentions or customs of users or operators. Therefore, the definition should be made based on the contents throughout the specification.

1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of a communication network to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 1, a communication network to which the present invention is applied includes an outgoing mobile communication terminal 10, an outgoing mobile communication exchange 11, an outgoing home location register 12, an address book server 20, a destination mobile communication terminal ( 30), an incoming mobile communication exchange 31, and an incoming home location register 32, and a computer 40, a PDA 41, an electronic notebook 42, a notebook 43, and the like, are provided on the sender side.

In addition, the wireless network illustrated in the drawing includes a base station, a base station controller, and the like, and the mobile communication core network further includes basic components for mobile communication and data communication, such as a packet data serving node. 10) when the voice call connection request is made to the called mobile communication terminal 30, the caller nickname is displayed to the calling mobile communication terminal 10 and the caller nicking is displayed to the called mobile communication terminal 30 while waiting for a call connection. In the description of what is known, description of these well-known components will be omitted.

The present invention allows the caller to see the caller nickname registered in his or her address book while waiting for a call connection, and the caller nickname registered in the caller address book to the caller [hereinafter referred to as "address book association call / caller nick display service" Will be referred to collectively.

Particularly, in the conventional mobile telecommunication supplementary service, the called party's nickname could not be shown to the caller while waiting for a call connection. In this service, the called party's name registered in the calling address book of the address book server 20 can be shown to the caller. have. In addition, in the conventional caller nickname display service, the caller lettering registered in the home location register (or service control point (SCP)) is shown to the called party, whereas in the present service, the caller registered in the caller address book of the address book server 20 is shown. Show the nickname [user's business card] to the called party.

On the other hand, the address book-associated caller / caller nickname display service is preferably the caller is a subscriber, the user can selectively subscribe to the caller nickname display option, only the caller nickname display option, or both of the services can be subscribed to both options. In addition, the user should register his or her telephone number, preferably the mobile terminal number when subscribing to the service. This user telephone number is a basic parameter used in the processing of this service. Hereinafter, an example in which the caller is subscribed to both the caller nickname display option and the caller nickname display option will be described.

To this end, the address book server 20 performs a known data synchronization with each of the user terminal such as the mobile communication terminal 10, computer 40, PDA 41, electronic notebook 42, notebook 43, etc. In other words, it stores the other person's phone number, another person's nickname (name, nickname, phrase, etc.), the subscriber's business card, etc., which are based on the user, that is, the result of synchronizing with each terminal to match the service subscriber [sender].

In addition, the address book server 20 may directly input another person's telephone number, another person's nickname, a subscriber's business card, etc. from the user through a website, an instant messenger, a mail sending program, or the like [eg; The user may enter a name, phone number, etc. written on a memo, a notebook, and the like on the address book server website], or another person's phone number, nickname, subscriber's business card, etc. may be automatically inputted by the program data communication. Yes; When the user connects the organizer and the computer with a USB cable, accesses the address book server website and uploads the address book of the organizer using an address book synchronization program.

In particular, the subscriber address book stored in the address book server 20 has a name column of another person. Even if it is not an actual name of another person, information of another person, which is arbitrarily input by the subscriber, such as an alias and a specific phrase, is registered. There is also a subscriber business card, which registers subscriber's information, such as name, nickname, e-mail address, company information, specific text, etc. that the subscriber arbitrarily inputs.

In addition, the address book server 20 as described above is integrated with the user address book stored in the mobile communication terminal 10, computer 40, PDA 41, electronic notebook 42, notebook 43, etc. In addition, even if the subscriber of the website of the address book server 20 is not the subscriber of the address book linked caller / caller nickname display service, the user can register his / her address book and manage the address book distributed in various places.

On the other hand, a user, for example, the caller of the mobile communication terminal 10, subscribes to the address book-linked caller / caller nickname display service through a website operated by the address book server 20, or preferably, the customer service center of the mobile communication company, the mobile communication company. Subscribe to this address book-related caller / caller nickname display service as one of the additional telecommunication services through the website operated by. As such, subscriber information of the address book-associated caller / caller nickname display service is registered in the home location register 12 through the customer information system (COIS), whereby the caller provides the service to himself or the called party while waiting for call connection. You can do it. In particular, the mobile phone terminal number of the subscriber of the service is registered in the address book server 20 through interworking with the home location register.

In addition, the subscriber does not need to register his nickname separately while subscribing to the address book-associated caller / caller nickname display service, since his nickname is pre-registered in the address book server 20. On the other hand, the subscriber can access the website of the address book server 20 and arbitrarily change information of his or her address book, such as another person's telephone number, another person's nickname, and his or her business card.

Hereinafter, the operation of each component of the present invention will be described.

When the subscriber's address book is registered as above, the address book server 20 receives the calling party's telephone number and the called party's telephone number from the calling home location register 12 as parameters, and when the called party's nickname is inquired, the other person's name field of the calling party's address book is searched. Answer the called party's nickname. On the other hand, the address book server 20 responds to the originating home location register 12, the fact that the recipient nickname does not exist when there is no nickname corresponding to the recipient nickname search result.

When the address book server 20 receives the caller's phone number from the destination home location register 32 as a parameter and receives a caller's nickname, the address book server 20 queries the subscriber's business card of the caller's address book and responds to the caller's nickname. Meanwhile, the address book server 20 responds to the destination home location register 32 that the caller nickname does not exist when there is no nickname as a result of the caller nickname search.

The originating home location register 12 is an address book server if the caller is a subscriber of the service when the caller is inquired by the originating mobile communication exchange 11 to which mobile communication supplementary service, for example, this address book-linked caller / called nickname display service. (20) and instructs the originating mobile communication exchange 11 to respond to the called party's nickname in response to this and to transmit the called party's nickname to the calling mobile communication terminal 10.

The calling mobile communication switch 11 inquires the calling home service location register 12 to the calling party service registration information by using the calling phone number and the called phone number as parameters, and the calling party nickname is called from the calling home location register 12 as a result of the inquiry. When receiving the response, the called party sends the nickname to the mobile communication terminal (10). Accordingly, the calling mobile terminal 10 displays the called party's nickname on the display before outputting the ringback tone to the receiver.

In particular, the outgoing mobile communication exchange 11 performs ISUP with the incoming mobile communication exchange 31 as a well-known voice call setup procedure. When receiving the called party's nickname transmission command from the originating home location register 12, the ISUP is performed. The recipient nickname is immediately transmitted to the calling mobile terminal 10 immediately before. This is to allow the caller to quickly recognize the case of a wrong call by grasping the called party's nickname displayed on the outgoing mobile terminal 20 before the call with the called party. That is, after the ISIP is performed, the call is already made between the caller and the called party. In addition, when the called party is a subscriber of the ringback tone service (aka coloring service) among the mobile telecommunication supplementary services, the caller's nickname is sent to the caller due to a service collision due to the transmission of specific music to the calling mobile terminal 10 after the ISUP is performed. This is to prevent it from losing.

Therefore, it is preferable that the originating home location register 12 gives the originating mobile communication exchange 11 the called party's nickname and instructs the originating mobile terminal 10 to transmit the called party's nickname before performing the ISUP.

In addition, the originating mobile communication exchange 11 performs the called party location inquiry procedure when the caller receives a response from the calling home location register 12 that the caller is the subscriber who selected the address book-associated caller / caller nickname display service, preferably the caller nickname display option. When the caller's telephone number and the called party's telephone number are used as parameters, the destination home location register 32 is notified that the caller is the subscriber of the service.

When the called home location register 32 is notified that the caller is the subscriber of the service together with the caller location inquiry request from the calling mobile communication exchange 11, the called home location register 32 receives the caller's nickname from the address book server 20 and receives the incoming call. The exchange 31 is loaded with a sender nickname in a response signal indicating that the TLDN has been well received, and is instructed to transmit the caller nickname to the destination mobile communication terminal 30.

The terminating mobile communication exchange 31 transmits a calling party nickname to the terminating mobile communication terminal 30 after completing the ISUP with the originating mobile communication exchange 11. Accordingly, the incoming mobile communication terminal 30 displays the caller nickname on the display while ringing the telephone.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a service for displaying a called party's nickname on an outgoing mobile communication terminal and displaying a called party's nickname on the incoming mobile communication terminal in association with a user address book according to the present invention. Hereinafter, a description of the process of subscribing to the address book-associated caller / caller nickname display service will be omitted, and the caller (this service subscriber) will be described as an example of subscribing to both the caller nickname display / caller nickname display option.

First, the address book server 20 performs a known data synchronization with each user terminal such as the mobile communication terminal 10, the computer 40, the PDA 41, the electronic notebook 42, the notebook 43, etc. Integrate and store the [caller address book], or store the address book directly input from the user through a website, instant messenger, mail sending program, etc. (200). Here, the other person's name in the user's address book is registered to match another person's information such as the real name of the other person, an alias designated by the user, a specific phrase, and the like with the other person's phone number. The subscriber's information (caller nickname) is registered, such as user specified nickname, specific phrase, e-mail address, company information, and user's telephone number.

Thereafter, the caller dials the called party's phone number, for example, the called party's phone number which is not registered in the mobile communication terminal phonebook, so that the caller requests the call, and the calling mobile terminal 10 connects the voice call to the calling mobile communication exchange 11. Make a request (201).

Then, the outgoing mobile communication switchboard 11 inquires the originating home location register 12 of the calling party service subscription matters using the calling party number and the called party number as parameters (202). At this time, the calling mobile communication exchange 11 delivers both the calling party number and the called party number to the calling home location register 12, when the calling home location register 12 is the subscriber of the service. This is to allow the address book server 20 to query the called party's nickname in the sender's address book with the number as a parameter.

Then, the calling home location register 12 inquires the calling party service profile to authenticate which mobile communication supplementary service, for example, the address book-linked caller / caller nickname display service, and as a result of the authentication, the calling party looks at the calling address book. If subscribed to the associated caller / caller nickname display service, the caller's nickname is inquired to the address book server 20 using the caller's telephone number and the called party's telephone number as parameters (203, 204). In addition, the originating home location register 12 transmits the caller service profile to the originating mobile communication switchboard 11 to instruct the present service processing, whereby the originating mobile communication switchboard 11 recognizes this and the known voice call. Along with the processing, the service is prepared for processing.

Then, the address book server 20 checks the name of the corresponding party corresponding to the called party's telephone number among other telephone numbers of the user's address book corresponding to the calling party's telephone number, checks the corresponding called party's nickname, and sends the called party's nickname to the home location register. Answer (12) (205, 206).

On the other hand, the address book server 20 sends the called party's nickname non-existent facts (or the recipient's phone number unregistered facts) if no information is registered in the other person's name column or the recipient's telephone number does not exist as a result of searching the caller's address book. Answer (12). Accordingly, the originating home location register 12 notifies the originating mobile communication exchange 11 that the caller is subscribed to the service and instructs the user not to perform separate service processing, or another example, the originating mobile communication exchange 11 Notify the caller that the caller is subscribed to the service, and instructs the sender to send the mobile terminal 10 the nickname of the nonexistent facts.

Then (following step "206"), the originating home location register 12 sends the called party nickname to the calling mobile switching center 11 while sending the called party nickname with the caller subscribed to the service. Command to transmit to terminal 10 (207). In particular, at this time, it is preferable that the originating home location register 12 instructs the originating mobile communication exchange 11 to transmit the called party's nickname to the originating mobile communication terminal 10 before performing the ISUP.

Then, the calling mobile communication exchange 11 transmits the called party's nickname to the calling mobile communication terminal 10 and performs a known caller's location inquiry while calling the caller's phone number and the called party's phone number as parameters. The destination home location register 32 is notified that it is subscribed (caller nickname display option subscriber) (208, 209). Here, the caller's phone number among the parameters is for the called home location register 32 to contact the address book server 20 with the caller's phone number as a parameter of the caller's home address, that is, the caller's nickname. Used to perform known called party location query.

Accordingly, the calling mobile terminal 10 displays the called party's nickname on the display before outputting the ringback tone to the receiver (210). Thus, the caller can grasp the called party's nickname displayed before the call with the called party and hang up immediately if the call is a wrong call.

Then (following step "209"), the destination home location register 32 inquires of the caller nickname to the address book server 20 with the caller's phone number as a parameter while recognizing that the caller is subscribed to the service. In addition, the routing information is requested to the destination mobile communication exchange 31 as a known recipient location inquiry process (211, 212).

Then, the address book server 20 queries the user's business card of the address book corresponding to the caller's telephone number to confirm the caller's nickname, and responds to the caller's nickname to the destination home location register 32 (213, 214).

On the other hand, if no information is registered in the user's business card as a result of retrieving the caller's address book, the address book server 20 responds to the destination home location register 32 with the caller nickname nonexistent fact (or the caller card not registered fact). Accordingly, the destination home location register 32 performs only a known recipient location inquiry process without performing a separate process for processing the service.

The terminating mobile communication exchange 31 performs a known TLDN allocation process and responds to the terminating home location register 32 with the TLDN allocated to the terminating mobile communication terminal 30 (215).

Then, the incoming home location register 32 loads the sender nickname on the response signal indicating that the TLDN has been well received while keeping the sender nickname received from the address book server 20 and sends it to the incoming mobile communication exchange 31. And instructs the sender nickname to be sent to the destination mobile communication terminal 30 (216). At this time, the destination home location register 32 may inform the destination mobile communication exchange 31 that the caller is subscribed to the service.

Thereafter, the called home location register 32 responds to the calling mobile communication exchange 11 with the called party's location by referring to the TLDN (217), and thus, between the calling mobile communication exchange 11 and the called mobile communication exchange 31. Perform a known ISUP process (218).

In the state where ISUP is performed between the outgoing mobile communication exchange 11 and the incoming mobile communication exchange 31 as described above, the incoming mobile communication exchange 31 transmits a caller nickname to the destination mobile communication terminal 30 (219).

Accordingly, the incoming mobile communication terminal 30 displays the caller's nickname on the display while ringing the telephone (220). Accordingly, the called party can receive a call selectively while grasping who the call is coming from and appreciating the caller's personality expression.

On the other hand, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the address book server 20, if the caller's address book in step "205" as a result of the other party's name is not registered or the recipient's phone number does not exist, the nickname of the called party It is also possible to further query the user's business card in the address book (e.g., the recipient's address book) corresponding to the called party's telephone number to confirm the corresponding called party's nickname, and respond to the calling home location register 12 without notifying the existence of the fact. Here, the address book server 20 transmits the called party's nickname nonexistent fact (or the called party's non-registered fact), if the called party address book is not registered in advance or the user's business card is not registered in the called address book. Answer

As another example, when the address book server 20 receives a caller's nickname from the calling home location register 12, the user's business card of the address book (for example, the called address book) corresponding to the called party's phone number is not directly looked up in step 205. Inquiry to confirm the corresponding recipient nickname, and may respond to the calling home location register 12.

In the second embodiment of the present invention as described above, even if the called party is not the service subscriber (address book association call / incoming nickname display service subscriber), the address book [particularly the user's business card] is registered and used in the address book server 20. In order to allow the caller to show the caller's nickname to the caller by searching the user's business card in the called address book even if the caller has not registered the called party's phone number and the called party's nickname in his / her address book.

On the other hand, according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the destination home location register 32 is a caller is the original lettering service subscriber as a result of being informed of the service information to which the caller is subscribed from the originating mobile communication exchange 11 in step 209. Recognizing that the caller's business card is not registered from the address book server 20 in a state in which it is recognized that the caller's lettering is referred to SCP by calling the caller's lettering like the existing lettering service processing. To be sent).

In the third embodiment of the present invention as described above, even if the caller who subscribes to the existing lettering service does not register his or her own business card in the address book, the presenter can show his or her existing lettering.

Meanwhile, according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the address book server 20 first checks whether the called party number is registered in the user address book in the process of “213” and “214”, and then the called party number is entered in the user address book. It is also possible to query the user's business card only if it exists and respond to the calling party nickname with the destination home location register 32. In this case, the destination home location register 32 queries the address book server 20 for the caller's nickname by using both the caller's phone number and the called party's phone number as parameters.

However, if the called party's telephone number exists in the user's address book but the calling party's business card is not registered, the address book server 20 responds to the incoming home location register 32 that the calling party's business card is not registered.

Accordingly, the destination home location register 32 performs only a known recipient location inquiry process without performing a separate process for processing the service, or as another example, the caller from the originating mobile communication exchange 11 in the process “209”. If it is notified that the existing lettering service subscriber is to send the caller lettering to the SCP like the existing lettering service processing method so that the caller lettering is transmitted to the terminating mobile communication terminal 30 through the terminating mobile communication exchange (31).

In the fourth embodiment of the present invention as described above, the caller shows his or her business card registered in the address book only to the called party registered in the address book, or the caller who subscribes to the existing lettering service does not register his or her business card in the address book. This is to allow Edo recipients to show their lettering.

As described above, the present invention prevents a wrong call by showing the caller's nickname to the caller while waiting for a call connection between users, especially for setting up an international call when the caller calls a caller in a foreign country. Considering that the time is rather long, it allows callers to slowly grasp the called party's nickname for a long time while waiting for an international call to effectively prevent expensive calls from being charged to the caller due to a wrongly dialed international call. .

Meanwhile, as described above, various embodiments of the present invention have been described taking the case in which the caller makes a call to the called party's mobile terminal using the mobile communication terminal, but the caller uses the mobile terminal to call the landline telephone of the called party. If the caller calls the called party's mobile terminal using a landline telephone, the person skilled in the art can easily understand that the caller proceeds to the same service processing process even if the caller uses the landline telephone to dial the called party's landline telephone. Could be.

While the content of the present invention has been described by way of examples, the embodiments of the present invention are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may modify or alter the present invention in various forms within the principles and scope described in the claims herein.

The present invention as described above allows the caller to grasp the information of the called party in advance while waiting for a call connection based on the caller address address pre-registered in the address book server. When the caller's phone number is not stored in the terminal phonebook, If the phone number of the called party cannot be stored due to the excess capacity of the phone book, the caller recognizes this because the called party's phone number is changed, but if the existing caller's phone number is stored in the terminal phone book as it is, the caller is the called party. When calling the telephone number of the caller, the caller calls the telephone number of the called party memorized, the international call, etc., it is effective to prevent the caller from making a wrong call.

In addition, the present invention allows the called party to grasp the caller's information in advance while waiting for a call connection based on the caller address book or the existing lettering service registered in the address book server, so that the caller expresses his or her personality and who the caller is from It is effective to see if the incoming.
