  • Publication number: 20090070159
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, a processing device, and a system for providing message(s) to a user of e.g. a mobile terminal. The method comprises receiving a message(s) including an indication in a processing device and retrieving a personal file, which is stored in a personal unit, in the processing device. After receiving the message(s) and the personal profile, the processing device compares the personal profile and the indication. Therefore, in case the personal profile and the indication match, showing the message(s) to the user or in case the personal profile and the indication do not match, not showing the message(s) to the user.

  • Patent number: 6223049
    Abstract: A mobile communication system comprising subscribers provided with identifiers (101), one or more mobile exchanges, and a numbering domain allocated to the mobile communication system, the numbering domain comprising subscriber identifiers (101, 103). In the mobile communication system, a predetermined part (104) of the identifier (101, 103) of each subscriber forms an index (104) which refers to a predetermined protocol (106) to be applied to the identifier (103). The protocol (106) consists of one or more rules (108). These rules (108) define variables (111) on the basis of which subscriber identifiers (101, 103) belonging to a predetermined block of the numbering domain are interpreted in a predetermined manner.

  • Patent number: 6199161
    Abstract: A method and mobile communication system for managing authentication keys, the system having at least one authentication center, base stations and mobile stations to which subscriber identity modules may be coupled and which communicate with the base stations. The authentication keys are managed by: generating authentication keys and identifiers corresponding thereto, each of which identifiers is independent of a mobile subscriber identity, which allow authentication keys corresponding to the identifiers to be found in the authentication center, storing the authentication keys in the authentication center so that the authentication keys may be found in the authentication center on the basis of the identifiers, and storing the authentication keys and the identifiers corresponding to the authentication keys to the subscriber identity modules.

  • Patent number: 6181939
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of processing mobile station data in a mobile communication system in which the subscriber data of the mobile station are registered in a visitor location register which corresponds to the mobile services switching center the coverage area of which the mobile station enters, and in which the subscriber data of the mobile station are deleted from the visitor location register after it has left the coverage area.

  • Patent number: 6148192
    Abstract: A method for checking the access right of a subscriber equipment, whereupon a mobile equipment can be formed by attaching the subscriber identification module to any subscriber equipment. Before the subscriber identification module is detached from the subscriber equipment, the equipment identity of this subscriber equipment is stored in the subscriber identification module. After the subscriber identification module has been connected to the subscriber equipment, the equipment identity stored in the subscriber identification module is compared in the mobile equipment formed with the equipment identity of the subscriber equipment of the combination. When the equipment identities are identical, a first alternative for checking the access right is selected, and when the equipment identities are different, a second alternative for checking the access right is selected.

  • Patent number: 6091946
    Abstract: A method for checking the access right of a subscriber equipment in a mobile communication system in which a mobile equipment is registered in a network infrastructure by transmitting the identity of the subscriber from the mobile equipment to the network infrastructure includes transmission of the subscriber equipment identity of the mobile equipment to the network infrastructure, checking the subscriber data of the subscriber in the database of the mobile communication system, and compares the equipment identity of the subscriber, which is stored in the database, to the equipment identity transmitted by the mobile equipment. If the equipment identities are the same, the mobile equipment is allowed to continue operating normally, and if the equipment identities differ, the access right of the mobile equipment will be checked in the equipment identity register of the network infrastructure.

  • Patent number: 5852781
    Abstract: A method and mobile radio system for establishing a group call extending to service areas of several exchanges in a mobile radio system which includes at least a first exchange and a second exchange, telecommunication media for establishing communication connections between at least the first exchange and the second exchange, and a plurality of mobile stations communicating via the exchanges. The method includes selecting a second exchange to which the group call is routed from the first exchange. To save telecommunication resources in a mobile radio system, checking, before routing the call to the second exchange, whether a telecommunication medium has been previously allocated on the connection from the first to the second exchange for the group call to be established, and, if so, routing the group call to be established from the first to the second exchange without allocating a new telecommunication medium to that connection.

  • Patent number: 5752196
    Abstract: A method and a mobile communications system for maintaining group data relating to a communication group in a mobile communications system including a plurality of exchanges. To optimize the management of group data, one of the exchanges is selected as a main exchange, in the database of which a master copy of group data of the communication group is maintained. Information is maintained in the database of the selected main exchange on exchanges of a fixed distribution area. The group data are stored in the databases of these exchanges irrespective of the location of the subscribers. Information is maintained on exchanges of an enlarged distribution area. The group data are stored in these exchanges if subscribers belonging to the communication group register under the exchanges. Information is maintained on exchanges of a current enlarged distribution area. Subscribers of the communication group are currently registered under these exchanges.
