- PMS/PP point-to-point message
- SMS/CB Cell Broadcast
- WO98/10604 entitled “Interactive Cell Broadcast Service” there is illustrated and described a method and apparatus for transmitting SMS/CB display messages to subscribers who are prompted to respond by depressing a pushbutton for immediately originating either a telephone call or an SMS/PP message to an embedded callback number.
- One particular application of the interactive cell broadcast service is for requesting a service which can then be provided by so-called over the air programming.
- Each SMS/CB message is displayed on the entire display screen either immediately upon its receipt, or when requested by the user (see page 11, lines 27-29 of the specification). Both approaches severely limit the interactive cell broadcast service in terms of the rate at which SMS/CB messages can be transmitted as follows.
- SMS/CB messages In the former, immediately displaying SMS/CB messages on a display screen annoyingly interrupts the operation of the device from the point of view of the subscriber who would therefore be inclined to disable the service. And in the latter, storing SMS/CB messages requires considerable memory resources, and requiring a user to retrieve each SMS/CB message individually (and thereafter delete them individually) is time consuming and battery wasteful.
- the present invention is directed toward the streaming of mostly different content at least some interactive display messages on personal cellular telecommunications devices for the benefit of subscribers for no more than their occasional glancing at their personal cellular telecommunications devices' display screens which they often do anyway, for example, to check the time.
- the present invention can display both Point-To-Point (PTP) display messages and Point-To-MultiPoint (PTMP) display messages but in the case that PTP display messages and PTMP display messages are simultaneously transmitted over their respective air interface channels, the former display messages typically have a higher display priority than the latter such that they are preferentially displayed.
- PTP Point-To-Point
- PTMP Point-To-MultiPoint
- the display messages are intended to have mostly different content including inter alia news items, financial information, promotional offers, and the like, in the form of alphanumeric messages, graphic messages, video clips, and the like. Whilst some display messages will by their nature be repeated on a regular basis, for example, display messages advertising a soft drink, the term mostly different is intended to convey that identical display messages are not display during consecutive time intervals of, say, between 1 minute and 5 minutes. At least some of the display messages are intended to be interactive in the sense that a subscriber can automatically activate a point-to-point transmission response mechanism from a dedicated response means integrally provided in a display message.
- a response mechanism can be pushbutton activated, voice activated, or touchpad activated.
- each response means may be a dedicated “MORE INFO” key, or a key selectively dedicated for the response means but otherwise a conventional key, for example, the key “*” as may appear in a display message, for example, “PRESS * FOR MORE INFO”.
- the display messages are preferably transmitted at a maximum rate of a new display message about every 5 seconds on a so-called 24/7 basis i.e.
- display messages can be transmitted at slower rates, say, down to one display message about every 2 minutes, or even slower, say, one display message about every 5 minutes, and for shorter periods, say, 10 minutes of display messages on the hour during peak broadcasting hours only.
- the display messages can occupy different regions of a display screen as follows: First, they can replace a so-called “idle screen” typically occupying the entire space of a display screen for displaying inter alia network related information, for example, the name of an operator, time, signal strength, batter; strength, the presence of one or more voice messages and/or SMS messages stored in a permanent storage buffer prior to their deletion, and the like. And second, they can occupy a portion of a split screen, for example, a horizontally disposed banner portion, also typically having a major portion for normally displaying an idle screen.
- a split screen for example, a horizontally disposed banner portion, also typically having a major portion for normally displaying an idle screen.
- the banner portion may be a permanent feature of a display screen or it may be replaced together with the first portion in a similar manner to the first instance on the invoking of a non-idle activity specific screen having at least some indication of an ongoing activist including inter alia the entire process from establishment to tear down of a voice call irrespective of whether a subscriber is the originating party or the receiving party, and any other subscriber initiated activity, for example, retrieving an item stored in memory, playing a game, writing a memo, and the like.
- An exemplary “idle screen” within the spirit of the present invention is displayed in the so-called User Idle Screen Available Event (see 3GPP TS 31.111 V4.0.0 3rd Generation Partnership Project; Technical Specification Group Terminals; USIM Application Toolkit (USAT) (Release 4)).
- the envisaged streaming of display messages provides a most convenient platform for m-commerce applications, and in particular interactive m-commerce applications catering for a wide range of ages, lifestyles, and the like. It is believed that its exposure to the general public will be far greater than that of conventional radio, television and cable broadcasting services taking into consideration the ubiquity of personal cellular telecommunications devices, the fact that most subscribers now take their personal cellular telecommunications devices wherever they go, and the fact that they are in idle mode for most of the time that they are powered on. Moreover, unlike conventional broadcasting services which are at best regional services, since each BTS can be individually addressed, the present invention readily facilitates the transmitting of far more location specific content down to the granularity of a single BTS than hitherto achievable. In this connection, additional BTSs can also be readily deployed for the sole purpose of transmitting specific content at particular locations.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a divisional application of prior application Ser. No. 09/980,114 filed Nov. 30, 2001, which in turn was the National Stage of International Application No. PCT/IL01/00037 having an international filing date of Jan. 14, 2001, which in turn claims priority on Israeli application No. 134,035 filed Jan. 13, 2000 and is incorporated herein by reference.
- The invention relates to the operation of cellular telecommunications networks, and personal cellular telecommunications devices.
- Global Networks for Mobile Communications (GSM) digital cellular telecommunications networks have now been deployed alongside wireline telecommunications networks in over a 100 countries. GSM supports a so-called Short Message Service (SMS) functionality in two flavors: point-to-point for sending a point-to-point message (SMS/PP) from a network operator to a single personal cellular telecommunications device, and point-to-multipoint for sending a Cell Broadcast (SMS/CB) message from a network operator to a plurality of personal cellular telecommunications devices located in one or more cells. For more details regarding the different classes of SMS messages, reference can be made to ETSI TS 100 900 Version 7.2 (GSM 03.38 Version 7.2), the contents of which are incorporated by reference.
- In WO98/10604 entitled “Interactive Cell Broadcast Service”, there is illustrated and described a method and apparatus for transmitting SMS/CB display messages to subscribers who are prompted to respond by depressing a pushbutton for immediately originating either a telephone call or an SMS/PP message to an embedded callback number. One particular application of the interactive cell broadcast service is for requesting a service which can then be provided by so-called over the air programming. Each SMS/CB message is displayed on the entire display screen either immediately upon its receipt, or when requested by the user (see page 11, lines 27-29 of the specification). Both approaches severely limit the interactive cell broadcast service in terms of the rate at which SMS/CB messages can be transmitted as follows. In the former, immediately displaying SMS/CB messages on a display screen annoyingly interrupts the operation of the device from the point of view of the subscriber who would therefore be inclined to disable the service. And in the latter, storing SMS/CB messages requires considerable memory resources, and requiring a user to retrieve each SMS/CB message individually (and thereafter delete them individually) is time consuming and battery wasteful.
- Broadly speaking, the present invention is directed toward the streaming of mostly different content at least some interactive display messages on personal cellular telecommunications devices for the benefit of subscribers for no more than their occasional glancing at their personal cellular telecommunications devices' display screens which they often do anyway, for example, to check the time. The present invention can display both Point-To-Point (PTP) display messages and Point-To-MultiPoint (PTMP) display messages but in the case that PTP display messages and PTMP display messages are simultaneously transmitted over their respective air interface channels, the former display messages typically have a higher display priority than the latter such that they are preferentially displayed.
- The display messages are intended to have mostly different content including inter alia news items, financial information, promotional offers, and the like, in the form of alphanumeric messages, graphic messages, video clips, and the like. Whilst some display messages will by their nature be repeated on a regular basis, for example, display messages advertising a soft drink, the term mostly different is intended to convey that identical display messages are not display during consecutive time intervals of, say, between 1 minute and 5 minutes. At least some of the display messages are intended to be interactive in the sense that a subscriber can automatically activate a point-to-point transmission response mechanism from a dedicated response means integrally provided in a display message. The existence of a dedicated response means does not necessarily have to be indicated on a display message to a subscriber but can be understood by him as being available a matter of course. A response mechanism can be pushbutton activated, voice activated, or touchpad activated. In the case of pushbutton activated response means, each response means may be a dedicated “MORE INFO” key, or a key selectively dedicated for the response means but otherwise a conventional key, for example, the key “*” as may appear in a display message, for example, “PRESS * FOR MORE INFO”. The display messages are preferably transmitted at a maximum rate of a new display message about every 5 seconds on a so-called 24/7 basis i.e. all day every day, thereby, on the one hand, rendering an interesting eye catching service of streaming display messages but, on the other hand, still providing sufficient response time for a subscriber to activate a response mechanism. Obviously, display messages can be transmitted at slower rates, say, down to one display message about every 2 minutes, or even slower, say, one display message about every 5 minutes, and for shorter periods, say, 10 minutes of display messages on the hour during peak broadcasting hours only.
- The display messages can occupy different regions of a display screen as follows: First, they can replace a so-called “idle screen” typically occupying the entire space of a display screen for displaying inter alia network related information, for example, the name of an operator, time, signal strength, batter; strength, the presence of one or more voice messages and/or SMS messages stored in a permanent storage buffer prior to their deletion, and the like. And second, they can occupy a portion of a split screen, for example, a horizontally disposed banner portion, also typically having a major portion for normally displaying an idle screen. In the latter instance, the banner portion may be a permanent feature of a display screen or it may be replaced together with the first portion in a similar manner to the first instance on the invoking of a non-idle activity specific screen having at least some indication of an ongoing activist including inter alia the entire process from establishment to tear down of a voice call irrespective of whether a subscriber is the originating party or the receiving party, and any other subscriber initiated activity, for example, retrieving an item stored in memory, playing a game, writing a memo, and the like. An exemplary “idle screen” within the spirit of the present invention is displayed in the so-called User Idle Screen Available Event (see 3GPP TS 31.111 V4.0.0 3rd Generation Partnership Project; Technical Specification Group Terminals; USIM Application Toolkit (USAT) (Release 4)).
- The envisaged streaming of display messages provides a most convenient platform for m-commerce applications, and in particular interactive m-commerce applications catering for a wide range of ages, lifestyles, and the like. It is believed that its exposure to the general public will be far greater than that of conventional radio, television and cable broadcasting services taking into consideration the ubiquity of personal cellular telecommunications devices, the fact that most subscribers now take their personal cellular telecommunications devices wherever they go, and the fact that they are in idle mode for most of the time that they are powered on. Moreover, unlike conventional broadcasting services which are at best regional services, since each BTS can be individually addressed, the present invention readily facilitates the transmitting of far more location specific content down to the granularity of a single BTS than hitherto achievable. In this connection, additional BTSs can also be readily deployed for the sole purpose of transmitting specific content at particular locations.
- In order to understand the invention and to see how it can be carried out in practice, a preferred embodiment will now be described, by way of a non-limiting example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which similar parts are likewise numbered, and in which:

The BTSs 2 are each capable of transmitting Point-To-MultiPoint (TMP) display messages and Point-To-Point (PTP) display messages for streaming mostly different content, mostly interactive display messages on personalcellular telecommunications devices 3. The PTMP display messages are dispatched from a Point-To-MultiPointDisplay Message Dispatcher 4 and the PTP display messages are dispatched from a Point-To-PointDisplay Message Dispatcher 6. Both the PTMP display messages and the PTP display messages originate at a Display Message Input Entity 7. Thedevices 3 include inter alia simple handset phones, smartphones, combined PDA/phones, combined MIP3 music players/phones, and the like. -
FIG. 1 also shows two exemplary successive time-sensitive display messages displayed in a screen saver-like manner replacing a normally displayed idle screen. The display messages include “NASDAQ DROPS 10% PRESS SND FOR DETAILS” display at 9:00 and “NASDAQ JUMPS 20%” displayed at 9:01. The 9:00 display message is an example of a display message prompting a subscriber as to the action required by him to obtain additional information from an information provider. Against this, the 9:01 display message is an example of a display message which does not prompt a subscriber as to which action is needs to take to obtain additional information since he is already cognizant of the fact that pressing the SND key will automatically connect him to a suitable information service.FIG. 2 shows a display message prompting a subscriber to activate a point-to-point transmission response mechanism from the list of a voice call; an SMS; a data session, for example, an Internet browsing session, a SIM browsing session, and the like; e-mail; and a facsimile transmission. -
FIG. 3 shows that a cellular broadcasting service can include a non-geocoded or nationwide programming channel, and one or more geocoded programming channels for transmitting streams of PTMP and PTP display messages from logical groups of BTSs each including one or more BTSs. Each logical group of BTSs either covers an extended contiguous geographical area, for example, a metropolitan area or geographical areas sharing a common theme, for example, schools, along highways, and the like. The programming channels typically include time slots for transmitting programs which are either common to both the nationwide programming channel and the geocoded programming channels, for example, the News, or dedicated to a particular logical group of BTSs, for example, an Anti-drug program for transmission at BTSs of the logical group of BTSs which cover schools, Traffic updates for transmission at BTSs of the logical group of BTSs which cover major highways, and the like. Also, a geocoded programming channel can be itself segmented to two or more so-called geocoded programming sub-channels each to be transmitted at a subset of the BTSs of the logical group of BTSs associated with the geocoded programming channel. For example, the school programming channel can be segmented to an elementary school programming sub-channel, a high school programming sub-channel, and a college programming sub-channel. - It should be noted that a BTS may be assigned to one or more geocoded programming channels depending on its location, for example, a BTS which covers a geographical area containing both a football stadium and a shopping mall in most likelihood will be assigned to both a sports programming channel and a shopping programming channel of the cellular broadcasting service to maximize its efficacy in terms of geocoded content. In such instance, a programming
channel allocation scheme 8 can be provided for determining which stream of PTMP or PTP display messages should be displayed at each BTS. The schemes can be time dependent, for example, sports programming channel be transmitted during a time interval starting 2 hours before the start of a football match and ending 2 hours after the football match ends, the shopping programming channel be transmitted at other times when available for transmission, and the nationwide programming channel be transmitted at all other times that neither the sports programming channel nor the shopping programming channel are available for transmission. -
FIG. 4 shows a staggered sequence of display messages for advertising tickets for a football game to take place at a stadium over progressively smaller geographical areas and at progressively lower prices on the same day as the game assuming that unsold tickets still available. Such display messages may be either PTMP display messages, or PTP display messages transmitted to subscribers listed in the fan club of the stadium's home team.

The entire handling of a display message from its receipt through to its being automatically discarded is a completely silent process irrespective of whether the display message is displayed or not. - The operation of the screen saver-like application in respect of each of the
dynamic storage buffers FIG. 6 , is as follows: The display message discard scheme automatically discards undisplayed display messages from a dynamic storage buffer on a First In First Out basis, thereby ensuring that the dynamic storage buffer only stores the most recently received display messages, and automatically discards display messages after they are displayed. In addition, assuming that the display screen is available for display of a display message, immediately before a display message is actually displayed, the following checks are made: First, since display messages may be incomplete due to any one of several occurrences, for example, air interface interference, hand over between cells, and the like, each display message is checked for completeness and if it is found to be incomplete, it is automatically discarded. Second, since at least some of the display messages are time sensitive, each display message is checked for its not being out-of-date by its satisfying the following condition:
