TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REALIZING REALIZED ORDERS AND SETTING TELECOMMUNICATIONS PIRATES.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to telecommunication systems, in particular to mobile telecommunication systems, in which telecommunication pirates are actively identified and recurring orders are realized.

TECHNICAL LEVEL

With the emergence of mobile communication, the world has adopted a number of telecommunication solutions for the mobile network, the mobile operator and the customer. New features and services were also introduced that were not available before mobile and phone emergence. At the same time, next-generation offenders, called telecom pirates, have emerged near service and telecom solutions. The latter are able to organize additional poor quality telecommunication networks, to illegally profit and to hide taxes, using certain equipment and system gaps. Meanwhile, mobile operators and the state are losing their share of profits, and also lose a good name due to poor communication quality. Well-known Belgian patent no. BE74306, published 2008. October 7 This patent describes a method for activating computer files contained in a remote fixed mobile phone using SMS messages with corresponding textual content. At least one SMS message with specially crafted text content called code is sufficient to implement this method. This code may have different purposes, such as activating sound, music, language, symbols, vibration, picture, light, etc. on a remote set mobile phone. However, during one session, this solution does not provide for interactive interaction between the sender and the receiver. 2

Another American patent no. US2005004971, published 2005. January 6 This patent describes an interactive two-way medium based on two-way message / signal streams. In the first stage, the messages are sent from mobile phones to mobile service providers, later they are sent to the message dispatcher and later to the service providers. Depending on the content of the SMS message and the moment of time, the service provider creates the response and sends it back to the mobile phone user. The cell phone user can generate a new signal with the appropriate signal and so on. In this way, a continuous exchange of relevant messages between the mobile user and the service provider can take place. This communicative solution allows users to connect to the appropriate medium and affect the content of the interactive messages. This can be used to organize online games that can be connected at any time and from anywhere. However, this telecommunication solution is more related to the organization of two-way message streams, but not to ordering services. A well-known American patent no. WO9816080, published 1998. April 16 this patent describes a system and method for protecting stations from telecommunication pirates. The method described in the patent includes an additional two-way verification system which, prior to performing any action, for example, by opening the gate remotely, also checks the unique code to be transmitted in parallel. Only after the code verification operation is successful, the system allows the use of a network that allows the activation of a list of certain specified operations. However, this patent is more closely related to the protection of external devices from telecommunication pirates and does not identify the latter, nor does it solve the problem of stealing the telecommunication network resources.

The closest to the prior art is patent no. VV02009148338, published 2009. December 10 This patent discloses a telecommunication scheme and describes a method for delivering advertising and similar messages to mobile users, at their request, using short (SMS) messages. This method includes: sending (or receiving) a mobile user message to the service operator; a message or call processing procedure; provision of ordered information to the mobile user (customer). In this patent, the service order provides 3 interactive menus, whereby the customer can select the product / service he needs according to the list of goods / services provided. However, this telecommunication solution does not include a situation where the customer would like to order a number of services but recurring services to be provided according to a specific schedule or recurring service packages that the customer would like to receive at certain fixed times.

The plurality of telecommunication network patents also does not provide protection against telecoms violators (pirates) who, using mobile communications, GSM cards and special equipment, are stealing telecommunication network resources for their purposes. OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is a telecommunication system and a method for detecting telecommunication pirates and using interactive menus to activate recurring orders. To achieve these goals, a special telecommunication network consisting of individual nodes interacting with each other according to established standards and criteria is created.

An essential feature of the present invention is that the following additional telecommunication network elements are integrated into the standard telecommunication network: a signal and data processing and control server for initiating, receiving, processing and delivering signals to other respective nodes; a signal receiving unit for receiving signals / calls; interactive (voice) transponder for receiving, processing, shaping, transferring orders to other relevant nodes; Subscriber Database Module, which includes customer information based on different parameters. These additional modules, integrated into a common standard telecommunication network, ensure the organization of recurring orders. The new use of these modules also ensures active search for detection and detection of telecoms violators (pirates). For this purpose, the signal and data processing and control server itself initiates the signal in the signal initiation node, itself receives that signal through the signal receiving unit, analyzes that signal and determines whether or not there is a pirate in the network according to a particular comparison algorithm. If a pirate is detected, its signal number is set.

BEST IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS

With the emergence of computer systems, mobile communications and telecommunication networks, a number of telecommunication solutions for the mobile network, mobile operator and customer were adopted in the world. There were also new features and services that were not available before the mobile phone. Over time, the range of services and capabilities offered by telecommunications networks is continuing to expand. Telecommunication networks are evolving, improving, and expanding with more and more diverse spheres and functions.

As is known, telecommunication systems have already been developed in the world to ensure order placement, processing and execution, i.e. a customer who has called a number or that number by sending a message with a particular text content can order a product or service. However, this type of standard telecommunication system provides a one-off package of goods and services. To order again, the customer needs to call / send the message again. This is uncomfortable if the customer wants to get some goods or services, for example. certain important reminders, information on the situation on the stock exchange and so on, at regular intervals or at fixed times. With mobile communication, people can talk to each other almost anywhere in the world.

However, telecom networks have a very serious problem with telecoms violators (pirates), which mobile operators usually try to handle manually by analyzing the traffic of calls and evaluating the numbers (cards) of potential offenders, as automated algorithms and analysis systems due to the variety of telecom piracy are practically ineffective. Additionally, with automated algorithms, good subscribers are often confused with pirates, and errors of this kind, especially when mobile users are large and serious business organizations, are simply not allowed. For this reason, pirates are well-positioned in telecommunication systems, creating new ways of gaining profits, while mobile operators are losing a lot of money and losing their share of profits and reputation. This telecommunication system and method performs several functions at once: using an advanced telecommunication system for realizing recurring orders, it can be used to find an active search method for detecting and detecting telecommunication pirates.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a telecommunication system (1) for describing the present invention. This telecommunication system (1) consists of standard telecommunication elements (nodes) and additional modules.

The standard part of the telecommunication system consists of the following elements: signal initiation unit (2), caller operator node (3), international operator network (4), local mobile operator node (5), time unit (pirate) (5), forwarding information the database module (7) and the SMS message sending unit (8). The signal initiation unit (2) initiates (generates) a signal (query / call) to a particular subscriber of the telecommunication network. The caller operator node (3) is a fixed / mobile communication provider that receives the initiated signal from the signal initiation unit (2) and transmits this signal to the network of international operators (4). The network of international operators (4) consists of individual nodes, usually located in different countries, interconnected to one network. The network of international operators (4) receives a signal from the caller operator node (3) and transmits this signal to the local mobile operator node (5). The local mobile operator node receives said signal from the networks of international operators (4) and transmits this signal to the final subscriber. However, it is often the case that the signal is not transmitted directly to the end-user, but the signal is able to receive the time-block (pirate) (6), which has special equipment for receiving, processing and forwarding the signal to the end user, such as a simple subscriber or interactive voice. transponder. The Outbound Information Database Module (7) exchanges 6 signals with the Subscriber Database and, depending on the signal comparison operation, shapes the ordered signal and sends it to the SMS Message Block (8), which receives a signal from the Sending Database Module (7) , exchange signals with the subscriber database module (12) and transmit the signal to the customer (client) of the service at the moment (or moments) of the service which initiated said signal from the signal initiation unit (2) or from the local mobile operator node (5). However, if the standard telecommunication scheme contains a time-block (pirate) (6), then the customer does not receive this service and the pirate receives it (6). The pirate (6) has special equipment into which GSM cards are inserted, served by the local mobile operator node (5). Also, pirate (6) redirects incoming calls to end-users. Since there are many incoming calls that pay for a pirate (6) at a standard rate, the pirate (6) pays to the local mobile operator at cheaper rates, i.e. The pirate (6) performs the sublease function and the rest of the money is absorbed by itself. As mentioned earlier, distinguishing such a pirate (6) from a plethora of other ordinary customers and various companies is difficult. Very often, this action requires both human resources (months to track invoices, changes in them, analyze, explore, and so on) that mobile operators simply lower their hands and settle for this kind of loss. In order to realize the present invention, additional blocks are introduced into the standard telecommunication system: a signal receiving unit (9), a signal and data processing and control server (10), an interactive voice transponder (11), and a subscriber database module (12). The signal receiving unit (9) exchanges signals with an interactive voice transponder (11), exchanges signals with a signal and data processing and control server (10), receives said signal from the local mobile operator node (5) or from the pirate (6) if the telecommunication system has a timer block (6) and transmits to the interactive voice transponder (11). An interactive voice transponder (11) responds, as appropriate, to a signal coming from a signal receiving node (9), responds to a call, provides information to the customer about a service, or a package of services that can be provided to the user once or cyclically according to a predetermined and coordinated schedule. (in time). Also, an interactive voice transponder (11) 7 exchanges signals with a signal receiving node (9), a signal and data processing and control server (10), providing a properly formed signal to the subscriber database module. The Subscriber Database Module (12) registers the customer signal numbers that order a particular service or package of services. It also registers other information needed to complete the order. The subscriber database module (12) exchanges signals with a signal and data processing and control server (10), as well as with a module for the database of information being transmitted (7). The signal and data processing and control server (10) performs a signal and data management function associated with the elements of the telecommunication system (9, 11, 12), as well as ensures and coordinates the respective work of all of the additional modules mentioned in the telecommunication system (1) by initiating a signal to a signal initiation unit (2); launches the pirate (6) detection and detection procedure; detects and detects a telecommunication pirate (6), sends an appropriate signal to the SMS messaging block (8), including customer information, its order, the time of delivery of the order to the customer, and the start and end times of the transmission; gives commands to update the information contained in the database of information sent; checks for incoming calls to the receiving unit (9) and to the interactive voice transponder (11). These additional modules of the present invention ensure that the customer can call and order a product / service or recurring order packages, as well as detect and detect pirate.

In this type of telecommunication system (1), signals can be sent, transmitted, received, processed on different paths: a) "long cycle without a pirate - for a simple subscriber" - the call initiation node (2) is abroad. In this case, the signal passes through all the said standard modules and enters a subscriber belonging to the local mobile operator's node (5). b) "long cycle without pirate - voice transponder" - this cycle differs from the a) mentioned above in that in this case the signal passes not only through the standard system modules but also through the above mentioned additional module modules, which allows to order a one-off or recurring service package . C) "long cycle - with a pirate - for a simple subscriber" - this cycle differs from said a) from the fact that there is a time unit (6) in the system of standard nodes, i.e. telecom pirate. It is this cycle that is most attractive to the pirate. During this cycle, the client signal enters the equipment installed by the pirate (6) and is forwarded to the end user (user). During this cycle, an interesting effect appears, which is called a number swap operation, i. when the number (2) of the signal initiation unit (2) reaches the pirate (6), the redirection signal number changes after the pirate (6) and the number (2) of the signal initiation node (6) or the "unknown number" is already seen by the end user in its telephone device ". d) "long cycle - with a pirate - voice transponder" - this cycle differs from said b) by the fact that there is a time unit (6) in the system of standard and additional nodes, i.e. telecom pirate. However, due to said numbers, the client will not receive the swap effect when ordering the service or service pack, as the interactive voice transponder (11) captures the signal number of the pirate (6) at the time of ordering, but not the signal initiation unit (2). So the service will get a pirate. Usually the pirate (6) does not want this cycle because it will have to pay for an unwanted service that is usually charged at higher rates; in this way, the mobile operator will retrieve from the pirate a certain amount of money that the pirate did not plan at all and on which the pirate can only know after a certain time. On the other hand, the probability of such a cycle is not high, as customers do not outsource their services usually from abroad.

In this type of telecommunication system (1), it is possible to catch a pirate (6). Cycle c) is the most attractive to the pirate (6), as the signal coming from the call initiation unit (2) and entering the pirate (6) equipment changes its number, and during this cycle it is possible to perform certain initiation and verification operations. Using additional equipment modules (9, 10, 11, 12), the signal and data processing and control server (10) initiates the signal from the signal initiation unit (2) and sends it to the 9 (calls) itself via the signal receiving unit (9). The signal and data processing and control server (10) knows which signal initiation unit (2) has triggered the signal initiation, and also knows the signal number. If there is a pirate (6) in the telecommunication network, the signal number of the call origination unit (2) passing through the pirate changes. The signal and data processing and control server (10) then compares the two numbers: the signal initiation unit (2) signal number and the signal number coming to the receiving unit (9). If the two numbers overlap, the telecommunication system (1) does not have a pirate (6), and if different, then concludes that the pirate (6) is present, and also determines the pirate (6) signal number. In the case of receiving an "unknown number" by the signal receiving unit (9), it is concluded that the telecommunication system (1) also has a pirate (6), and in this case its signal number is determined by the "signaling" signal which is used by the signals. the receiving unit (9) may be set by a signal and data processing and control server (10). This method makes it possible to detect, detect and detect telecommunication pirates (6) in any country of the world efficiently, accurately and quickly. Knowing the pirate (6) signal number, its GSM card can be quickly disconnected, and the geographical position of pirate (6) equipment can be quickly and successfully set up.
