Detailed ways

In order to facilitate the user to obtain the number conveniently and quickly, and to avoid increasing capital investment in the existing mobile communication system, in the embodiment of the present invention, the short message function in the mobile communication system is used to send the number to the network side through a terminal such as a mobile phone. Short message to achieve number acquisition and activation. The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present invention can be used to realize the number selection service, so that the user can perform the number selection operation. The service can be used for the selection of mobile phone numbers, and can also be used for the selection of related numbers of other services. Taking mobile phone number selection as an example, the number selection service is realized according to the method shown in Figure 1, which specifically includes the following steps:

Step 11: The terminal sends a number selection request short message for selecting a mobile phone number to the network side.

Step 12: The network side generates request response information according to the number selection request short message and sends it to the terminal.

Step 13: The terminal selects an account-openable mobile phone number according to the request response information.

Step 14: The terminal sends an account opening short message to the network side.

Step 15: After receiving the account opening short message, the network side allocates the number selected by the terminal to the terminal.

Each step in FIG. 1 will be further described below.

In step 11, because the user should be allowed to select the mobile phone number when the mobile phone number is provided to the user, the number selection request short message in this step is used to select the mobile phone number. At this time, two methods can be used, one is to request The mobile phone number is assigned by the network side. Specifically, the network side can provide a group of mobile phone numbers that have not been provided to any user; the second method is to include one or more mobile phone numbers in the short message, and request the network side to confirm the mobile phone number included. Whether the number can be activated.

For the above two methods, the format of the number selection request short message can be pre-specified by the network side, and the terminal sends the number selection request short message to the network side according to the specified format, so that the network side can understand the terminal's intention. For example, for the first method above, the terminal can be stipulated to send a short message "Mobile phone number query" or a simple letter combination "HMCX" to the specified service number. As another example, for the second method above, it can be stipulated that the terminal will send the short message "confirmation**" or "QR**" to the specified service number, where "**" is the mobile phone number to be confirmed.

In step 12, according to the specific request mode expressed in the number selection request short message in step 11, corresponding request response information is generated, and the request response information includes one or more account-opening mobile phone numbers. For example, if the network side receives the short message "HMCX", it will obtain one or more mobile phone numbers from the mobile phone number database, and then send these mobile phone numbers to the terminal. Can be sent using SMS or MMS. And if the network side receives the short message "QR**", it will judge whether the mobile phone number contained in the short message "QR**" has been provided to the user according to the data in the mobile phone number database, and will not provide it to the user. The passed mobile phone number is sent to the terminal. If all these mobile phone numbers have been provided to the user, a prompt message is sent to the terminal.

In step 13, when the terminal selects a mobile phone number that can open an account, if in step 11 the mobile phone number is requested from the network side, then in step 13, it is selected from the mobile phone numbers provided by the network side; if in step 11 it is Request the network side to confirm whether the mobile phone number can be opened, then in step 13, select from the mobile phone numbers confirmed by the network side. When selecting, one or more mobile phone numbers can be selected.

In step 14, the mobile phone number selected in step 13 is included in the account opening short message sent by the terminal, and the function of the account opening short message is to request the network side to activate the mobile phone number selected in step 13. Therefore, in step 15, the network side responds to the terminal's request and activates the mobile phone number selected in step 13. After completing this step, the acquisition and activation of the mobile phone number is realized. After the network side activates the mobile phone number in step 15, the network side can also send a notification message to the terminal, so that the terminal knows that the mobile phone number selected by it has been activated.

In the above steps 11-15, the network side can authenticate the terminal in relevant links, which will be further described below.

The network side selects legal terminals in the network according to the set criteria and saves their identification information, which can be MDN (Mobile Directory Number) or SIM (Subscriber Indentity Module). The criteria set on the network side are, for example: terminals that pay communication fees according to regulations of mobile communication operators are legal terminals. Another example: a terminal that has subscribed to a specific service specified by a mobile communication operator is a legal terminal. In this way, the terminal should include its own identification information in the number selection request short message in step 11 for authentication by the network side. The authentication on the network side can be to judge whether the identification information contained in the number selection request short message belongs to the stored identification information, specifically after confirming in step 12 that the identification information contained in the number selection request short message belongs to the stored identification information, and then generate the request Response message.

After step 14, the network side can also authenticate the terminal, and the authentication can be performed after receiving the account opening short message sent by the terminal. For this reason, the account opening short message sent by the terminal also needs to include the terminal identification information. In step 15, after confirming that the terminal identification information contained in the account opening short message belongs to the identification information of the preserved legal terminal, the network side sends the available The account opening mobile phone number is activated.

According to the method in the embodiment of the present invention, the device for providing the number will be described below. As shown in FIG. 2 , the number providing device 20 is used to provide a number, such as a mobile phone number, to a terminal, and it includes a first receiving module 21 , a determining module 22 , a first sending module 23 , a second receiving module 24 and an assignment module 25 .
