In this state, when a subscriber profile is received from the communication system, a service of a service provider system used for a communication service network system which communicates with the subscriber terminal by controlling the content of communication information communicated to the subscriber terminal based on the subscriber profile. In the way.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 21 denotes a subscriber terminal, 22 denotes a communication system of a communication company, and 23 denotes a service provider system outside the communication company.
And the communication system 22 are connected via a communication path 24 comprising a D channel and a B channel.
2 and the service provider system 23 are a D channel,
They are connected via a communication channel 25 composed of B channels, and constitute a communication service network system as a whole.

The communication system 22 has a hard disk, and has a subscriber profile database 221 storing a large number of subscriber profiles in the hard disk. As shown in FIG. 3, the database 221 stores the subscriber's address, gender, age, location information, and the like as a subscriber profile in correspondence with the subscriber's telephone number. The address, gender, and age of the subscriber profile are set in the database 221 by the operator when the subscriber makes a telephone contract with the communication company. 23 only if they have agreed to provide it. Then, the address is updated by the operator every time a change is notified, and the age is automatically added for each year by one year.

As for the location information for the mobile subscriber, when the mobile subscriber moves, a nearby antenna is detected and the location information is set in the database 221 in the same manner as the location information management method in the mobile communication. The setting of the location information is also performed only when the subscriber has agreed to provide his / her own location information to the service provider system 23.

Next, as an example, a case where the subscriber terminal 21 and the service provider system 23 both use the ISDN service communication and a connection request is made from the subscriber terminal 21 to the service provider system 23 will be described.

In this communication service network system, the subscriber terminal 21 issues a connection request for communication with the service provider system 23 to the communication system 22 using the D channel of the communication path 24.

Communication system 22 that has received a communication connection request
Specifies the connection destination service provider system 23 from the telephone number or the like, and establishes a connection path between the B channel of the communication path 24 and the B channel of the communication path 25 between the subscriber terminal 21 and the service provider system 23. . at the same time,
The service provider system 23 is notified of the connection request from the subscriber terminal 21 using the D channel of the communication path 25. Here, the communication system 22 notifies the service provider system 23 by adding the telephone number of the subscriber only when the subscriber as the caller does not refuse.

The service provider system 23 having received the notification gives the telephone number of the notified subscriber as key information to the communication system 22 and newly places the profile of the subscriber on the D channel of the communication path 25. The request is made using the signal provided in. The contents of the requested subscriber profile include those belonging to fixed data such as the subscriber's address, gender, age, etc., from the location information of the subscriber in mobile communication, and the location information and time information transmitted by the subscriber immediately before Various profiles such as those belonging to variable data can be requested.

The signal requesting the profile of the subscriber is:
For example, when requesting the age of the subscriber whose telephone number is "03-1234-5678", as shown in FIG. 4, "Signal type request" is set for the signal type, and the key information of the subscriber is set. Enter the phone number "03-1234-567"
8 ", and the request information element is set to" age ".

The communication system 22 receiving the request for the profile of the subscriber from the service provider system 23
The requested subscriber profile is searched from the subscriber profile database 221 and the result is notified to the service provider system 23 using the D channel of the communication path 25. The signal notifying the search result is, for example, the age 3 of the subscriber whose telephone number is “03-1234-5678”.
In the case of notifying 0 years old, as shown in FIG. 5, "subscriber profile search result" is set in the signal type, and "03-1234-5678" is set in the telephone number as the key information of the subscriber.
Is set, and the request information element is set to “30 years old”.

Upon receiving the search result from the communication system 22, the service provider system 23 controls the contents of communication information to be sent on the B channel of the communication paths 24 and 25 with the subscriber terminal 21 based on the search result. For example, by using the profile of the subscriber's address and the location information of the mobile terminal, information such as weather forecast, traffic information, disaster information, and supermarket bargain information near the place where the subscriber is actually located can be obtained. Control is provided for each of the subscriber profiles. Also, control is performed to change the content of the advertisement given to the subscriber using the profile of the subscriber's sex, age, and the like.
Further, control is performed to refuse the connection request from the subscriber. This corresponds to, for example, provision of a service that refuses a connection request from a minor subscriber.

In the above description, a case has been described in which a call is transmitted from the subscriber terminal 21, but it is also possible to make a connection request to the subscriber terminal 21 from the service provider system 23. That is, the service provider system 23 requests a subscriber profile from the communication system 22 using the telephone number of the subscriber as key information before connecting to the subscriber terminal 21.

Thus, for example, when advertising from the service provider system 23 to an arbitrary subscriber, only a subscriber of a target gender is selected and a connection request is made. If you place a Candidate Speech Call for the subscriber at
It becomes possible to select only a subscriber who is 20 years or older and make a connection request.

In this embodiment, the communication system 2
2 is provided with a subscriber profile database 221 and the case where a subscriber profile stored in this database is used has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
Communication system 2 such as C card information, remaining number of prepaid cards, and a password input to the subscriber terminal 21 by the subscriber;
2 can be utilized at any time from the subscriber terminal 21 in the same manner as the subscriber profile in the subscriber profile database 221.

In this embodiment, when the service provider system 23 requests the profile of the subscriber from the communication system 22, the D channel of the communication path 25 is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the service provider system 23 and the communication system 22 are connected in advance by a LAN or the like, and the CORB
A or other distributed object software technology may be used.
