Abstract
This invention relates to the programming of a communications device, such as a radiotelephone, and particularly to the programming of a radiotelephone's number, system ID of the system in which the radiotelephone will be used, the unlock code, and other data from a point of sale (POS) location. A computer (102) and modem (103), located at the carrier, interrogates either the POS operator or the radiotelephone (104), depending on the information needed. The POS operator can respond using a telephone (101) with an integral keypad, coupled to an interface box (100), while the radiotelephone (104) responds automatically, acting like a peripheral of the computer (102). The carrier's computer (102) can read the radiotelephone's ESN and program a new telephone number automatically.
Description
REMOTE PROGRAMMING OF A RADIOTELEPHONE.
Field of the Invention.
This invention relates generally to the field of communications and particularly to cellular radiotelephones.
Background of the Invention.
A radiotelephone has two unique numbers assigned to it to identify that particular unit to the cellular carrier: a telephone number and an Electronic Serial Number (ESN). The radiotelephone must be programmed with the telephone number prior to use and can be reprogrammed later. The ESN is programmed when the unit is manufactured and typically stays with that particular unit throughout its service life.
In order to assign a telephone number to the radiotelephone, the cellular radiotelephone carrier must know the radiotelephone's
ESN. Since both the ESN and the telephone number are transmitted to the carrier when the radiotelephone requests service, the radiotelephone will not be allowed access to the cellular system if the telephone number does not correspond to the correct ESN.
When the telephone number is programmed into the radiotelephone, the programmer tells the carrier the ESN and the carrier responds with the new telephone number assigned to that
ESN. This programming process can cause problems. If the programmer misreads the ESN while informing the carrier or if the carrier copies it incorrectly, the radiotelephone will be denied access to the cellular system since the telephone number and ESN stored in the radiotelephone will not match the numbers in the carrier's data base. Additionally, access can be denied if the telephone number is programmed incorrectly. There is a resulting need for a more reliable method of programming a telephone number into a radiotelephone.
Summarv of the Invention
This invention addresses at least some of the disadvantages set out in the prior art described above. In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a point of sale programming network to program a programmable communications device from a base site remote from the communications device. The network comprises a computer coupled to a data transceiving device such as a modem. The data transceiving device couples the computer to a communications link. The radiotelephone to be programmed is coupled to an interface box that couples the radiotelephone to the communications link. The computer can communicate with the radiotelephone to be programmed through the communications link.
The present invention enables point of sale (POS) programming of the radiotelephone's telephone number, the system
ID of the system in which the radiotelephone will be used, the unlock code, radio diagnostics, and other data. The computer, located at the carrier, interrogates either the POS operator or the radiotelephone, depending on the information needed. The POS operator responds using a telephone keypad while the radiotelephone responds automatically, acting like a peripheral of the computer. Using the present invention, the carrier's computer can read the radiotelephone's ESN and program the new telephone number automatically, substantially reducing or eliminating errors made during manual programming.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is provided means for programming of a radiotelephone from a remote location, such as the cellular carrier.
By allowing the carrier to communicate with and program the radiotelephone over telephone lines or a cellular system, the chance for error is substantially reduced.
The point of sale (POS) programming network, illustrated in
Figure 1, is comprised of a computer (102) and modem (103) located at the cellular carrier's location. The computer (102), hereinafter referred to as the base, has digitized voice commands stored on its disk. These commands are sent over the telephone lines or cellular system at the appropriate time to request information from the POS operator. The modem (103) couples the computer (102), via the telephone lines, to the programmer's location. If the radiotelephone is programmed through the telephone line, the telephone line is interfaced to the radiotelephone (104) being programmed by a POS interface box (100). It should be appreciated by one skilled in the art that alternative communications links, such as radio links, can also be used to facilitate the communication and programming of a radiotelephone.
The POS interface box (100), illustrated in Figure 4, is comprised of a telephone interface (401), modem (402), and bus interface (404) coupled to a microprocessor (403). The telephone interface (401) couples the outside telephone lines and a telephone (101) to the interface box (100). The telephone (101), having an integral keypad, is used to respond to certain requests for information by the base. The bus interface (404) is a three-wire bus interface that couples the radiotelephone (104) being programmed to the interface box (100). For more information on the three-wire bus interface, see Kowalski, U.S. Patent No. 4,654,655, Byrns U.S.
Patent No. 4,369,516, and Wilson et al., U.S. Patent No. 4,616,314, all assigned to Motorola, Inc.
The programming procedure followed by the base computer (102) is illustrated in Figures 3A and 3B. The base first checks for an incoming call (301) from a POS programming location. Once the call is established, the base requests a hardware identification number (302) from the POS interface box. Each interface box has a unique ID number assigned to it to prevent unauthorized access to the base computer. If the interface box responds with an invalid ID number (303), the programming procedure ends without allowing the radiotelephone to be programmed. The base then requests the customer's credit information (304). This can consist of a credit card or other financial information used for billing and verification of the customer's identity. The base next verifies the credit information with a credit validation service and receives a validation code (305).
If the code is valid, the base prompts the POS operator for the security code and unlock code (306) that the customer wants assigned and programmed into the radiotelephone. The unlock code is a sequence of digits that must be input to allow operation of the radiotelephone if it has been previously locked. The security code is another sequence of digits that must be input by the customer whenever certain features of the radiotelephone, such as the unlock code, are changed.
The base next prompts the POS operator for the system identification number (307). The POS operator then responds with the system ID of the system in which the customer has chosen to operate. This system ID will be different for each carrier. For example, in the Chicago area, Ameritech Mobile Communications has a system ID of 20 and Cellular One has a system ID of 1.
If the system ID is a valid number (308), the base next reads the radiotelephone's Number Assignment Module (NAM) data from the radiotelephone (309). The NAM data contains the system ID number, security codes, station class mark, and group ID mark in addition to the telephone number assigned to that particular radiotelephone. Once the base has the NAM data, it searches its data base for a new telephone number to be assigned to the radiotelephone (310). The base then reads the ESN from the radiotelephone (311). The ESN is encrypted, using a conventional encryption routine, by the interface box before being sent over the telephone lines. This will prevent unauthorized access to the customer's telephone number. The ESN read will now be associated with the new telephone number. The NAM data is updated (312) with the new telephone number and programmed into the radiotelephone.To complete the programming, the base reads the
NAM data again (313) to verify proper programming.
The procedure followed by the interface box is illustrated in
Figure 2. The microprocessor initially checks for an off hook signal from the telephone (201) indicating that the POS operator is calling the base computer. If the telephone is off hook, the procedure waits until a carrier (202) from the base is detected by the modem. Once the carrier is detected, contact with the base has been established and the microprocessor waits for a message from the base.
An incoming message is checked to determine if it is one of the messages allowed by the programming procedure (203). Once it is determined that the message is within this range of messages, the procedure determines what the message is and how to respond thereto. If the base requests the interface box ID number (204), the interface box responds. If the base requests the customer's credit information (205), system ID (207), unlock code (207), security code (207), or to power up (206) or down (208) the radiotelephone, the
POS operator is prompted by voice command over the telephone and can respond by either punching in the data on the telephone's keypad or pulling a credit card through a card reader. If the base requests radiotelephone data such as the NAM data or ESN, this request is passed on to the radiotelephone which then responds to the base.
In addition to programming a radiotelephone, the preferred embodiment of the present invention enables a technician at a remote site to troubleshoot a defective radiotelephone. The technician can determine the radiotelephone's condition by requesting the radiotelephone to respond with failure codes stored within the radiotelephone.
While the preferred embodiment of the present invention uses a telephone's integral keypad to respond to base commands, an alternate embodiment uses the keypad integral to the radiotelephone being programmed. A second alternate embodiment, illustrated in Figure 5, uses an RF link (501 and 502) between the base computer (102) and the POS interface box (100) instead of the telephone line link using the modem. A third alternate embodiment would allow programming of the radiotelephone over the cellular system. In this embodiment, illustrated in Figure 6, the POS interface box circuitry can be built into the radiotelephone (601).A fourth alternate embodiment, illustrated in Figure 7, the modem of the preferred embodiment is replaced by a DTMF encoder/decoder (703) and the interface box (700) contains a DTMF encoder/decoder in place of The modem allowing the radiotelephone (104) to be programmed using DTMF.
In summary, the preferred embodiment of the present invention provides remote . programming of a radiotelephone. This reduces or eliminates the errors that commonly occur during manual programming. An additional benefit derived from the preferred embodiment of the present invention allows a customer to use the radiotelephone immediately after purchase instead of waiting to have the unit programmed in a different location. Furthermore, an invention so designed and described would allow a field technician to perform fault finding diagnostics on a radiotelephone.
It will, of course, be understood that the above description has been given by way of example only, and that modifications of detail can be made within the scope of the invention.
