Description
PERSONALISED RADIO COMMUNICATIONS AND METHOD OF
OPERATION
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to radio communications units of radio communications systems and, in particular, to the personalisation of such radio communications units. The invention is applicable to, but not limited to, radio communications units that are shared between users.
Background of the Invention
A number of users of radio communications systems have shown an interest in having an inventory of mobile radios whose functionality can be customised to the requirements of a specific user, by virtue of the user inputting unique information into the mobile radio to personalise the radio's operation. Other radio system users have shown an interest in centralising the radio personalisation process, so as to reduce time spent at service depots having a mobile radio re-programmed.
It is known in the art for mobile telephone units to use external devices such as smart cards for personalising the operation of mobile telephones. This allows a smart card user to use the mobile telephones of other users and, whilst using their mobile telephone, personalise it for their use and be billed accordingly. Such external devices typically have nonvolatile memory that is programmed with information unique to the owner of the external device.
A problem associated with using such external devices for personalising the operation of mobile radio communications units is that the device and associated connector add cost and complexity to the product and potentially can detract from the quality, ruggedness and desired size. The external device has to be uniquely programmed for each user and then distributed and subsequently re-programmed as necessary. Being a separate physical component the external device can be lost or stolen.
Thus, it is desirable to have an improved method for personalising radio communications and a radio communications system and radio communications units to accommodate such improvements.
Summarv of the Invention
In a first aspect of the present invention, a method for personalising the operation of a radio communications unit, is provided. The method for personalising at least one operation of a radio communications unit in a radio communications system includes storing respective operational characteristics for a plurality of users in a memory element. At least one operational characteristic for a respective user is selected for the radio communications unit from the memory element and programmed in the radio communications unit.
In this manner, a particular user from a number of potential users of the radio communications unit personalises the operation of the radio communications unit for their particular needs.
Advantageously, the operational characteristics may be stored either in the central unit, reducing the memory requirements of the radio communications unit, or in the radio communications unit or distributed between memory elements in both the radio communications system and the radio communications unit.
In a second aspect of the present invention, a radio communications system is provided. The radio communications system includes a central unit and at least one radio communications unit. The central unit has a memory element for storing respective operational characteristics of a plurality of users and a transmitter for transmitting at least one respective operational characteristic. On receiving a valid personalisation request from a user the central unit accesses at least one respective operational characteristic from the memory element and transmits the at least one respective operational characteristic to the radio communications unit.The at least one radio communications unit has a receiver for receiving the at least one respective operational characteristic of the user and a processing device for programming the at least one respective operational characteristic in the radio communications unit.
In this manner, the radio communications system is arranged to facilitate the user-defining/ personalisation of radio communications unit operating on the radio communications system for particular users.
Advantageously, no extra signalling, related to the personality of the radio communications unit, needs to be transmitted over-the-air.
In a third aspect of the present invention, a radio communications unit is provided. The radio communications unit includes a memory element containing respective operational characteristics of a plurality of users and a processing device for programming at least one respective operational characteristic of a particular user into the radio communications unit.
In this manner, the personalisation of the radio communications unit is self-contained and each potential user of the radio communications unit can configure the operation of the radio communications unit according to their respective needs. Advantageously, no external device is required.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the drawings.
Brief Descnotlon of the Drawing FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a radio communications system according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a process for personalising radio communications units of the radio communications system according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
Detailed Description of the Drawings Referring first to FIG. 1, a block diagram of a radio communications system is shown, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. The radio communications system includes a central unit, e.g. a centralised database 16, and at least one radio communications unit, e.g. a mobile radio unit 10. The central unit has a memory element 21 for storing respective operational characteristics of a plurality of users, a transmitter 23 for transmitting at least one respective operational characteristic and a receiver 25 for receiving personality requests. On receiving a valid personalisation request from a user of a radio communications unit, the central unit accesses at least one respective operational characteristic from the memory element 21 and transmits the at least one respective operational characteristic to the radio communications unit. The radio communications unit has a receiver 19 for receiving the at least one respective operational characteristic for the user, a transmitter 17 for transmitting login requests 22 and a personalisation request command 26 to the radio communications system and a processing device 15 for programming the at least one respective operational characteristic in the radio communications unit.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, shown in FIG. 1, the radio communications system comprises a number of mobile radio units 10 communicating to a number of base stations 12. The base stations are operably coupled to a radio communications infrastructure 14 of the radio communications system. The radio communications infrastructure 14 is operably coupled to a centralised database 16, which is connected to a gateway 18. The gateway is operably coupled to a number of remote terminals 20.
In operation, the user of one of the mobile radio units 10 registers as the current user, e.g. by entering a unique code such as a personalised identity number (PIN), via the front panel controls 13. The mobile radio unit 10 transmits this registration (user login) 22 to the radio communications infrastructure 14 via the a base station 12. At this point the radio communications infrastructure may employ some security checking if desired. If the registration information is valid, the mobile radio unit 10 then transmits a personality request command 26 to the central unit and at least one operational characteristic, pertinent to the registered user, is accessed from the memory element 21 of the centralised database 16 and transmitted to the mobile radio unit 10.The operation of the radio communications system and/or the mobile radio unit 10 is then configured as desired by the respective user.
If the stored respective operational characteristics are to be used to configure the mobile radio unit 10, the radio communications infrastructure 14 transmits at least one personalised operational characteristic 24 via the aforementioned base station 12 to the mobile radio unit 10. In this manner, the mobile radio unit 10, is customised to the requirements of the particular user. If the stored respective operational characteristics are to be used to configure the operation of the radio communications system, the radio communications infrastructure 14 receives the respective operational characteristic and configures the system operation of the mobile radio unit 10 accordingly.A benefit of this radio communications system arrangement is that the operational characteristics may be stored either in the central unit, reducing the memory requirements of the radio communications unit, or in the radio communications unit or distributed between memory elements in both the radio communications system and the radio communications unit.
In an alternative embodiment the radio communications unit is a mobile radio unit 10 having a memory element 11 that contains the respective operational characteristics of a plurality of users. The mobile radio unit 10 includes a processing device 15, operably coupled to the memory element 11, for programming at least one respective operational characteristic of a particular user into the radio communications unit. Thus, in the alternative embodiment, the respective operational characteristics are self-contained within the radio communications unit and no extra signalling related to the personality of the radio communications unit needs to be transmitted over-the-air.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a flow chart of a process for personalising radio communications units of the radio communications system is shown according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. The process includes personalising at least one operation of a radio communications unit in a radio communications system by storing respective operational characteristics for a plurality of users in a memory element. At least OL operational characteristic is selected from the memory element for the radio communications unit for a respective user and programmed in the radio communications unit.
In the preferred embodiment, the radio communications unit communicates to a central unit comprising a containing the memory element.
A registration request of the respective user is validated at the radio communications unit or at the central unit. A personality request command is transmitted from the radio communications unit to the central unit and at least one operational characteristic for the respective user is selected for the radio communications unit from the memory element. The selected at least one operational characteristic is transmitted from the central unit to the radio communications unit where it is received and programmed in the radio communications unit.
Preferably, the registration request includes a respective user registering on the radio communications unit by inputting a personalised identity number into the radio communications unit and/or the radio communications unit registers on the radio communications system in order to access the operational characteristics stored in the memory unit. The memory unit resides at the radio communications unit and/or the central unit of the radio communications system. The operational characteristics relate to the operation of the radio communications unit and/or the radio communications system and may include at least one of the following: individual call identities, group call identities, call barring details and short form dial numbers.
In FIG. 2, the database is configured as shown in steps 100 to 106. A user receives authorisation to store personalised operational characteristics in step 102 and stores their respective operational characteristics in a memory element, as shown in step 104. Once the database is configured for that particular user, as in step 106, a personalisation process for the user on a radio communications unit can occur, as shown in steps 108 to 118.
Registration is performed, as in step 110. The registration includes the user registering on the radio communications unit and /or the radio communications unit registering on a radio communications system. The user's personality e.g. at least one operational characteristic, is accessed from the database as shown in step 112 and the personality programmed in the radio communications unit as in step 114. If the personalisation process is complete, as in step 116, the personalisation process of the radio communications unit for operation by the authorised user is completed as shown in step 118. If more operational characterisv cs are to be programmed into the radio communications unit the process returns to step 112. The process of programming the operational characteristics /personality of the particular user preferably includes configuring the operation of the radio communications unit and /or the radio communications system according to the user's requirements. Hence, no external device is required to facilitate the personalisation process.
Thus, an improved method for personalising radio communications units is provided. In addition, a radio communications unit and a radio communications system are provided that facilitate the improved personalising of radio communications units.
