Methods, Wireless Communication Device, IMS and OCS for Sending Information to Communication Network Subscribers - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17913000 titled 'Methods, Wireless Communication Device, IMS and OCS for Sending Information to Communication Network Subscribers
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method performed by an IP Multimedia System (IMS) in a communication network. The method involves receiving information about a call initiation or reception by a wireless communication device, including an ID indicating the subscriber of the device. This information is then sent to an online charging system (OCS), which in response provides a pointer to a notification picture. The pointer is then sent to the wireless communication device, allowing the operator to send notification pictures to its subscribers.
- The method involves receiving and sending information about call initiation or reception by a wireless communication device.
- The information includes an ID indicating the subscriber of the device.
- The information is sent to an online charging system (OCS).
- The OCS provides a pointer to a notification picture in response to the received information.
- The pointer is then sent to the wireless communication device.
- This allows the operator to send notification pictures to its subscribers.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be used by operators to send notification pictures to their subscribers.
- It can enhance the user experience by providing visual notifications for calls or other events.
- It can be used to display personalized or promotional content to subscribers.
Problems Solved
- The method solves the problem of providing visual notifications to wireless communication device users.
- It allows operators to send notification pictures to their subscribers, enhancing the user experience.
- It provides a way to display personalized or promotional content to subscribers.
Benefits
- Subscribers can receive visual notifications for calls or other events, improving their overall experience.
- Operators can send personalized or promotional content to their subscribers, increasing engagement and revenue opportunities.
- The method simplifies the process of sending and receiving notification pictures, making it more efficient for operators and subscribers.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is a method performed by an IP Multimedia System, IMS (), of a communication network. The method comprises receiving information of a call initiation or a call reception by a wireless communication device (), the information comprising an ID indicative of a subscriber of the wireless communication device (). The method further comprises sending information of the initiated or received call to an online charging system, OCS (), the information comprising the ID indicative of the subscriber of the wireless communication device (), receiving, from the OCS () and in response to the sending, a pointer referring to a notification picture, and sending the pointer to the wireless communication device (). Hereby it is possible for an operator to send notification pictures to its subscribers. Disclosed are also methods performed by the OCS () and the wireless communication device ().
