  • Patent number: 7634255
    Abstract: A method for reporting an activation status of an feature service such as termination conversion or termination rejection to a subscriber comprising the steps of activating a certain feature service using a feature code, and reporting the activation status of the feature service if a mobile station requests a location registration or a call origination is capable of reporting the activation status of the feature service to the subscriber at the preferable time or periodically using the service control point (SCP).

  • Patent number: 7383035
    Abstract: A system and method of furnishing illegal mobile equipment user information in a network environment includes obtaining and managing illegal mobile equipment user information through a MAP protocol to thereby prevent a mobile subscriber from illegally using mobile equipment, and tracing illegal mobile equipment through useful information such as user of illegal mobile equipment and a time of use of the illegal mobile equipment. Through this system and method, a mobile communication carrier may flexibly deal with illegal mobile equipment so that competitiveness of goods is heightened and high quality service may be furnished. Furthermore, an EIR that detected illegal mobile equipment usage may transmit illegal mobile equipment user information to Customer Service Billing System, so that immediacy of information may be assured, operator tasks may be reduced, and information may be effectively managed by centralized CSBS.

  • Patent number: 7260111
    Abstract: A MAP message processing system for interworking between heterogeneous networks includes a protocol identifying unit which analyzes a TCAP message to identify a protocol type of a message originating network which transmitted a MAP message associated with the TCAP message; and a protocol distributing unit which distributes the MAP message to a corresponding MAP layer based on the protocol type identified by the protocol identifying unit. Identification of the protocol type of the message originating network may be accomplished by determining whether the TCAP message contains specific type of information. This information includes any one or more of a specific type of dialogue portion in the TCAP message, a specific type of operation code, and a certain MAP start tag value. The absence of this information may also provide an indication of the protocol type of the originating network.

  • Patent number: 6381456
    Abstract: The present invention relates to method for managing subscriber location information in mobile communications system. When a mobile subscriber moves to other place, wherever, registration notification(RN) is carried out from a visitor location register(VLR) to a home location register(HLR). In case of requested with overlapped the registration notification(RN) and call processing procedure about the same subscriber, the HLR protects multi-location registrations about the same subscriber until a previous registration notification(RN) is completed. Thereby, this invention relates to method for managing subscriber location information in mobile system, in order to always maintain location information about a subscriber in the HLR and VLR, correctly.
