Abstract

The invention relates to a method for transmitting emergency calls by means of a mobile device via a speech channel and a data channel, the data channel being used to transmit location information and said location information being additionally transmitted in encoded form via the speech channel. The information is then compared for consistency in the control centre.

Description

Applicant:
T-Mobile International AG & Co. KG
Landgrabenweg 151 53227 Bonn Method and device for synchronisation of speech and data concerning location information for location-related services Description The invention relates to a method and a plurality of devices for transmitting and receiving emergency calls by means of a mobile device via a speech channel and a data channel, wherein the data channel serves to transmit location information.

Field of the invention An emergency call with exact location information (e.g.
from GPS - Global Positioning System) from a mobile telephone network uses a data channel (e.g. SMS or GPRS) and a speech channel in order to transmit the entirety of the emergency call information (e.g. location, cause of the accident, identity of the caller) to an emergency call centre. The data supplied via the data channel must be synchronised with the speech channel in order that all the emergency information can be passed on together to the rescue centre. The synchronisation of incoming speech calls and the data (e.g. via SMS) takes place nowadays within the TELPT05072 P04144 RS-2 26.09.2006 context of location-related services via the call number of the customer (MSISDN) with support from ACD - Automatic Call Distribution - systems and CTI - Computer Telephony Integration - functions. The MSISDN (call number) is contained within the signalling data or the data themselves. For the speech connection, the MSISDN is usually transmitted to the telecommunication system at the service centre (e.g. call centre), when the customer has switched on the CLIP - Calling Line Identification Presentation - or has accessed the speech connection of the service centre via the CLIR Overwrite - Calling L-ine Identification Restriction - feature (the suppressed CLI is nevertheless displayed). The synchronisation then takes place in such a manner that this MSISDN is made known to the system for speech processing (e.g. the client workstation of a call centre agent). The data belonging to this speech call with this MSISDN is meanwhile present in a database with the identification feature MSISDN from the data transmission and can therefore be assigned to the speech channel.

Object of the invention:

It is an object of the invention to provide a method and a device which ensure synchronisation of data and speech for location-related services.

Achievement of the object:

This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous developments of the invention are disclosed in the subclaims.

TELPT05072 P04144 R8-2 26.09.2006 In order to be able to synchronise data and speech reliably for location-related services if the MSISDN of the speech call cannot be determined, as an alternative the position data are used. Within the framework of the location-related service, after establishment of the connection, that is once the speech connection exists, the position (geographical latitude and longitude) of the mobile terminal device is transmitted, for example, in the form of DTMF tones, to the service centre (for example, the call centre). Another transmission is also conceivable and this may be constructed as a different modulation of the phase or the amplitude. Thus at least one piece of positional information is transmitted in redundant manner and the emergency can be processed, even if the data channel is defective. The exact same position information is a component of the data that have been sent to the service centre. In the service centre, the DTMF - Dual Tone Multi Frequency - tones are decoded and converted into the position. One application now seeks the data set matching these position data, for example, from a database. The position is the identifying feature here. A distinction is made between the current service use and old service uses that may be present in a database, for example, via suitable time signatures (receipt of the data or of the speech call). In order to enable unambiguous identification, either both position data sets must be given to the same degree of accuracy or they must lie at a defined small distance from one another. It appears to be relatively less useful to transmit the MSISDN in addition to the position information, since then too much time elapses at the beginning of the speech call before the operator can accept the call.

TELPT05072 P04144 R8-2 26.09.2006 The geographical position can be determined either via the mobile terminal device, for example, a mobile telephone, telematic terminal devices or the base station (by bearing taking), whereby either the mobile terminal device or the base station (or both) transmit the position coordinates via the speech channel.

This solution can be used both for call centre-supported services and for automated services without call centre agents.

The disadvantages of the prior art are thereby overcome.
The prior art has the disadvantage that the transmission of the CLI of the client telephone cannot always be guaranteed, since it is able to display this at the device.
CLIR overwrite as a possible fall-back position is not preserved for all services from data protection standpoints and is also not technically assured for international 2o roaming. This can lead thereto that the provision of the service in the desired quality is not possible.

The invention will now be described in greater detail based upon exemplary embodiments, which are schematically illustrated in the drawings. The same reference numbers relate to the same elements in the individual drawings. In the drawings:

Fig. 1 shows a sequence according to the prior art;
Fig. 2 shows a sequence plan of the method according to the invention.

TELPT05072 P04144 R8-2 26.09.2006 The sequence illustrated in Figure 1 shows the method as known from the prior art, wherein the emergency call is issued in a communication of the position via the data channel and communication of the speech information via the 5 speech channel. After receipt by the service centre, the information is brought together based on the call identification or the telephone number. This relies on the prerequisite, however, that no information is lost.

Figure 2, by contrast, shows a development of the present invention wherein the position is transmitted both via the data channel and via the speech channel. In the service centre, the information is brought together based on the position or the coordinates. It is therefore ensured that the information is redundant and additionally that transmission errors or inaccuracies can be trapped.
Within the context of the invention, numerous derivations and further developments of the exemplary embodiments described can be realised. The preferred embodiments do not represent any limitation. Rather, the scope of protection is set by the claims.
