Definitions

• the present invention relates to a tele- and data communication system, and more particular a system which includes means which makes it possible to utilize geographical positioning of, in the first place, handheld terminals to control and communicate different types of services included in said system.
• TeliaSonera service Friendfinder which implies that the user can get information about where a wanted person is to be found, actually the position of the mobile terminal, provided that the wanted terminal has an established connection with the system.
• a telecommunication and data communication system need information about the geographical position of the calling terminal to make it possible for the system to route the call to the in the system most suitable emergency service centre, with regard to e.g. geographical nearness to e.g. the scene of the accident, and to make it possible to inform the by the system selected emergency service centre about from where the call is emanating.
• IP-address does not include information about the geographical origin of the call in the same way as at utilization of fixed telephony or the positioning at the utilization of mobile telephony.
• the calling person himself/herself has to specify his/her geographical position to make the in the system accessible position-based services function as intended.
• the present invention intends to solve above mentioned problems.
• One aim of the present invention is to provide a tele- and data communication system which makes it possible to use geographical positioning of units of equipment which can co-operate with said system to control and communicate different types of positioning services included in said system, also in the cases when the system is using IP-based technology solutions.
• the invention can be realized on a plurality of communication platforms included in a tele- and data communication system, but in the preferred embodiment is described how this is made by utilization of IMS.
• the fixed equipment in e.g. the home and/or the office can consist of a terminal intended for IP-telephony, or of IP-connected equipment of other kind, for instance a so called Residential Gateway (RGW) which in its turn is arranged with one or more terminals intended for IP-telephony which is permanently or wirelessly connected to said equipment.
• CPE home and/or the office
• RGW Residential Gateway
• the invention is based on that CPE can communicate with mobile terminals located in, for instance, the home and/or the office, over, for instance, a WLAN, Bluetooth, IR or via galvanically connected via a docking station which can co-operate with said mobile terminal.
• IMS IMS 's database
• HSS is the database which, in addition to HLR-information, also holds other subscriber information.
• a mobile terminal gets into contact with CPE, it informs the subscriber database via the IP-connection that this has been made. This can result in that the traffic to the mobile terminal is controlled via the IP-network and CPE, instead of over the mobile network. This, however, is no requirement for the present invention.
• the subscriber database already has access to the position of the mobile terminal, which has been acquired in known way, but when used positioning method so allows, the positioning function in the mobile terminal can be activated in known way via the mobile network to obtain such a current position as possible. Because CPE is registered in the same subscriber database, the position data of the mobile terminal also can be associated with CPE.
• the units of equipment which are connected to CPE and are registered in the subscriber database then share this position.
• the position of CPE can be propagated down to CPE, and be acquired via inquiry from CPE, or be kept only in the subscriber database.
• the position information is added by IMS at outgoing call.
• CPE can add this information.
• the latter case also makes it possible that the telecommunication and data communication services which do no utilize IMS will have access to position information.
