Description
本發明是關於一種用於設定行動通信網路中的服務區域以使得可在行動通信網路中提供有效區域服務之裝置、使用此裝置提供區域服務之方法及系統,及用於提供區域服務之行動通信單元。The present invention relates to a device for setting a service area in a mobile communication network such that an effective regional service can be provided in a mobile communication network, a method and system for providing a regional service using the device, and for providing a regional service Mobile communication unit.
隨著通信技術的當前發展,已向使用者提供使用有線或無線方式之許多通信服務。在有線通信系統中,可藉由與光纖之發展相關的系統之發展來實施光學通信網路,且傳輸速度以及語音與資料量已增加。此外,在無線通信系統中,可在使用者高速移動期間將語音與資料服務同時提供給使用者。此外,在無線通信服務中,歸因於使用諸如分碼多重存取(code division multiple access,CDMA)、分頻多重存取(frequency division multiple access,FDMA)與分時多重存取(time division multiple access,TDMA)之技術的行動電話服務且歸因於使用諸如無線LAN、CDMA及無線寬頻網際網路(wireless broadband Internet,WBI)之技術的無線網際網路服務,服務提供區域之數目及使用者之數目已快速增加。With the current development of communication technologies, many communication services using wired or wireless methods have been provided to users. In a wired communication system, an optical communication network can be implemented by the development of a system related to the development of optical fibers, and the transmission speed and the amount of voice and data have increased. Further, in the wireless communication system, voice and data services can be provided to the user simultaneously during high-speed movement of the user. Furthermore, in wireless communication services, due to the use of, for example, code division multiple access (CDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), and time division multiple Access, TDMA) technology for mobile phone services and due to wireless internet services using technologies such as wireless LAN, CDMA and wireless broadband Internet (WBI), the number of service providers and users The number has increased rapidly.
歸因於無線通信技術之發展及相應無線通信服務之使用者之數目的增加,服務提供者及使用者應考慮徵收費用與提供服務之方法的可靠性以及有效性。Due to the development of wireless communication technologies and the increase in the number of users of corresponding wireless communication services, service providers and users should consider the reliability and effectiveness of the method of collecting fees and providing services.
在此方面,通信服務提供者建議各種折扣優惠及徵收服務費用之相應方法以便保持自身消費者並吸引新的消費者。建議包括行動電話服務提供者之區域性折扣服務及DU電話服務,其中行動電話與有線電話網路彼此連接。In this regard, communication service providers suggest various discount offers and corresponding methods of collecting service fees in order to maintain their own consumers and attract new consumers. Recommendations include regional discount services for mobile phone service providers and DU telephone services, where mobile and wired telephone networks are connected to each other.
區域性折扣服務使用基於細胞(cell)之技術,其中向在特定基地台提供服務之區域中的通信費用提供折扣優惠。此處,基於細胞之技術被應用於具有基地台之系統,諸如行動電話系統及無線網際網路等。Regional discount services use cell-based technology in which discounts are offered to communication charges in areas served at a particular base station. Here, cell-based technology is applied to systems with base stations, such as mobile phone systems and wireless internet networks.
若行動電話系統提供基於細胞之區域性之折扣服務,則歸因於諸如區域及時間等因素,即使是處於距預定基地台相同距離處的用戶亦可能為被提供區域性折扣服務之用戶及未被提供區域性折扣服務之用戶。換言之,區域性折扣服務不能被提供給在相應區域中已預定區域性折扣服務的使用者。出於此原因,與服務提供的目標相悖,會產生由於未向用戶提供區域性折扣服務的負面效應,諸如區域性折扣服務用戶的服務改良要求或退出。If the mobile phone system provides a cell-based regional discount service, even users at the same distance from the predetermined base station may be users who are offered regional discount services due to factors such as area and time. Users who are offered regional discount services. In other words, the regional discount service cannot be provided to users who have subscribed to the regional discount service in the corresponding area. For this reason, contrary to the goal of service provision, there may be a negative effect of not providing a regional discount service to the user, such as a service improvement request or withdrawal of the regional discount service user.
DU電話服務是設定了服務區域並使用服務區域之存取點(非基地台)將所設定區域內的行動電話連接至有線電話網路的服務。在DU電話服務中,服務提供區域可比上述行動電話系統中的區域性折扣更為精確地加以設定。因此,由於在DU電話服務中存在較小變化,因此可提供較好的區域性折扣服務。然而,在DU電話服務中,如在有線電話中,用戶在呼叫期間佔用有線電話線路。The DU telephone service is a service in which a service area is set and an access point (non-base station) of the service area is used to connect the mobile phone in the set area to the wired telephone network. In the DU telephone service, the service providing area can be set more precisely than the regional discount in the above mobile telephone system. Therefore, due to the small changes in the DU telephone service, a better regional discount service can be provided. However, in DU telephony services, such as in a wired telephone, the user occupies a wired telephone line during the call.
在上述行動電話系統中,細胞的半徑規則地變化且因此存在負面效應。然而,儘管在服務提供區域中存在多個用戶,但每一呼叫重新開始以獲得服務,以使得用戶可進行呼叫。另一方面,在DU電話服務中,當僅安裝一條線路時,若一個用戶佔用了線路,則另一用戶即使處於折扣區域中亦應使用行動電話服務。為克服此不足,可考慮增加存取點的線路之數目。然而,在此情況下,會出現應支付安裝線路之巨大成本的新問題。In the above mobile telephone system, the radius of the cells changes regularly and thus there is a negative effect. However, although there are multiple users in the service providing area, each call is restarted to obtain a service so that the user can make a call. On the other hand, in the DU telephone service, when only one line is installed, if one user occupies the line, the other user should use the mobile phone service even if it is in the discount area. To overcome this deficiency, consider increasing the number of lines at the access point. However, in this case, there is a new problem that the huge cost of installing the line should be paid.
與此同時,在由行動通信服務提供者設定的特定區域中提供諸如折扣費用之特定服務的情況已有所增加。在此情況下,已使用藉由安裝用於設定服務區域以便設定特定區域之裝置並設定距用於設定服務區域的裝置預定距離的半徑作為特定區域來提供服務之方法。然而,在此情況下,應使用全球定位系統(global positioning system,GPS)來檢查用於設定服務區域的裝置的位置。然而,當前,使用位置資訊系統的模組是昂貴的,此引起行動通信單元之成本的增加。At the same time, there has been an increase in the provision of specific services such as discounted fees in specific areas set by mobile communication service providers. In this case, a method of providing a service by installing a device for setting a service area to set a specific area and setting a radius from a predetermined distance of a device for setting a service area as a specific area has been used. However, in this case, a global positioning system (GPS) should be used to check the location of the device for setting the service area. However, currently, modules using location information systems are expensive, which causes an increase in the cost of the mobile communication unit.
本發明提供用於在行動通信網路中設定服務區域以使得可在行動通信網路中提供有效區域服務之裝置、使用此裝置提供區域服務之方法及系統,以及用於提供區域服務之行動通信單元。The present invention provides a device for setting a service area in a mobile communication network such that an effective area service can be provided in a mobile communication network, a method and system for providing a regional service using the device, and a mobile communication for providing a regional service unit.

Subsequently, the user inputs the personal identification code marked on the appearance of the device 19 for setting the service area using the key input unit 32 (steps S7 and S9).
隨後,行動通信單元21之控制器31會藉由輸入個人識別碼而控制無線傳送與接收單元33以設定用於設定服務區域的裝置19的無線傳送與接收單元41以及服務探索協定(步驟S11),並經由無線傳送與接收單元33請求ZSDID(步驟S13)。此時,控制器31會控制顯示單元34以使得區域服務註冊程序在進行中,如圖6之M15所示。Subsequently, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 controls the wireless transmitting and receiving unit 33 by inputting the personal identification number to set the wireless transmitting and receiving unit 41 and the service discovery protocol of the device 19 for setting the service area (step S11). And the ZSDID is requested via the wireless transmission and reception unit 33 (step S13). At this time, the controller 31 controls the display unit 34 so that the area service registration procedure is in progress, as shown by M15 of FIG.
此後,經由無線傳送與接收單元41接收ZSDID請求之用於設定服務區域的裝置19的控制器39會讀取儲存於記憶體45中的自身識別碼ZSDID,並控制無線傳送與接收單元41在ZSDID的回應中將ZSDID傳送至行動通信單元21(步驟S15)。Thereafter, the controller 39 of the device 19 for setting the service area that receives the ZSDID request via the wireless transmission and reception unit 41 reads the self identification code ZSDID stored in the memory 45, and controls the wireless transmission and reception unit 41 at the ZSDID. The response transmits the ZSDID to the mobile communication unit 21 (step S15).
隨後,經由無線傳送與接收單元33接收ZSDID回應之行動通信單元21之控制器31檢查儲存於記憶體37中之認證伺服器註冊狀態資訊及任意註冊狀態資訊TMP_FLAG,並確認是否已在區域服務認證伺服器27中進行了服務註冊(步驟S17)。此處,若已在區域服務認證伺服器27中完成了服務註冊,則將認證伺服器註冊狀態資訊設定為(例如)“0x01”,並將暫時註冊狀態資訊設定為(例如)“1”。Subsequently, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 that receives the ZSDID response via the wireless transmission and reception unit 33 checks the authentication server registration status information and the arbitrary registration status information TMP_FLAG stored in the memory 37, and confirms whether or not the regional service authentication has been performed. Service registration is performed in the server 27 (step S17). Here, if the service registration has been completed in the regional service authentication server 27, the authentication server registration status information is set to, for example, "0x01", and the temporary registration status information is set to, for example, "1".
若在步驟S17中檢查到尚未在區域服務認證伺服器27中進行服務註冊,則行動通信單元21之控制器31會控制行動通信傳送與接收單元35,並經由訊務通道傳輸具有電信服務識別符(teleservice identifier,TID)的短訊息以向區域服務認證伺服器27通知服務註冊請求(在步驟S19中)。此處,用於設定服務區域的裝置19的識別資訊ZSDID及行動通信單元21之資訊包括於服務註冊請求短訊息中。If it is checked in step S17 that the service registration has not been performed in the regional service authentication server 27, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 controls the mobile communication transmitting and receiving unit 35 and transmits the telecommunication service identifier via the traffic channel. The short message of the (teleservice identifier, TID) is notified to the regional service authentication server 27 of the service registration request (in step S19). Here, the identification information ZSDID of the device 19 for setting the service area and the information of the mobile communication unit 21 are included in the service registration request short message.
此後,區域服務認證伺服器27詢問自行動通信單元21所傳送用於設定服務區域的裝置19的ZSDID及行動通信單元資訊是否由區域服務用戶資料庫伺服器26來管理。若ZSDID及行動通信單元資訊是由區域服務用戶資料庫伺服器26來管理時,則區域服務認證伺服器27會在服務註冊請求的回應中發送具有指示已在相應行動通信單元21中成功進行區域服務註冊的TID的短訊息。若ZSDID及行動通信單元資訊並非由區域服務用戶資料庫伺服器26來管理時,則區域服務認證伺服器27會在服務註冊請求的回應中發送具有指示相應行動通信單元21中之區域服務註冊已失敗之TID之短訊息(步驟S21)。因而,若檢查到經由行動通信傳送與接收單元35接收之服務註冊請求之回應已失敗時,則行動通信單元21之控制器31會控制顯示單元34顯示服務註冊已失敗,如圖6之M17所示。此後,行動通信單元21之控制器31會終止服務註冊程序。Thereafter, the regional service authentication server 27 inquires whether the ZSDID and the mobile communication unit information transmitted from the device 19 for setting the service area from the mobile communication unit 21 are managed by the regional service user database server 26. If the ZSDID and the mobile communication unit information are managed by the regional service user database server 26, the regional service authentication server 27 transmits in the response to the service registration request that there is an indication that the area has been successfully performed in the corresponding mobile communication unit 21. The short message of the TID of the service registration. If the ZSDID and the mobile communication unit information are not managed by the regional service user database server 26, the regional service authentication server 27 sends a response indicating that the regional service registration in the corresponding mobile communication unit 21 has been received in the response to the service registration request. A short message of the failed TID (step S21). Therefore, if it is checked that the response to the service registration request received via the mobile communication transmitting and receiving unit 35 has failed, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 controls the display unit 34 to display that the service registration has failed, as shown in M17 of FIG. Show. Thereafter, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 terminates the service registration procedure.
若在服務註冊請求的回應中檢查到成功進行區域服務註冊時,則行動通信單元21之控制器31會將儲存於記憶體37中之認證伺服器註冊狀態資訊更新並儲存為(例如)“0x01”,並將暫時註冊狀態資訊TMP_FLAG更新並儲存為(例如)“1”(步驟S2)。If it is checked in the response to the service registration request that the regional service registration is successful, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 updates and stores the authentication server registration status information stored in the memory 37 as, for example, "0x01". And, the temporary registration status information TMP_FLAG is updated and stored as, for example, "1" (step S2).
此後,行動通信單元21之控制器31會控制無線傳送與接收單元33以設定與用於設定服務區域的裝置19的無線傳送與接收單元41的服務探索協定(步驟S25),並經由無線傳送與接收單元33請求服務註冊(步驟S27)。此處,可省略上述步驟S25。Thereafter, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 controls the wireless transmitting and receiving unit 33 to set a service discovery protocol with the wireless transmitting and receiving unit 41 of the device 19 for setting the service area (step S25), and transmits and transmits via wireless The receiving unit 33 requests service registration (step S27). Here, the above step S25 can be omitted.
因而,已透過無線傳送與接收單元41接收到服務註冊請求的用於設定服務區域的裝置19的控制器39會控制無線傳送與接收單元41以初始化移動感應器43並儲存鏈路密鑰(步驟S29)。Thus, the controller 39 of the means 19 for setting the service area that has received the service registration request through the wireless transmission and reception unit 41 controls the wireless transmission and reception unit 41 to initialize the motion sensor 43 and store the link key (step S29).
隨後,用於設定服務區域的裝置19的控制器39會控制無線傳送與接收單元41以將服務註冊請求回應傳送至行動通信單元21(步驟S31)。Subsequently, the controller 39 of the device 19 for setting the service area controls the wireless transmitting and receiving unit 41 to transmit the service registration request response to the mobile communication unit 21 (step S31).
同樣,已接收到服務註冊請求回應的行動通信單元21的控制器31會控制無線傳送與接收單元41以將用於設定服務區域的裝置19的ZSDID及鏈路密鑰儲存於記憶體45中,將服務註冊狀態資訊更新並儲存為(例如)“0x01”,並初始化區域設定裝置狀態資訊ZSD_STATUS(步驟S33)。同時,行動通信單元21之控制器31會控制顯示單元34指示已成功進行了服務註冊,如圖6之M16所示。Similarly, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 that has received the service registration request response controls the wireless transmission and reception unit 41 to store the ZSDID and link key of the device 19 for setting the service area in the memory 45, The service registration status information is updated and stored as, for example, "0x01", and the area setting device status information ZSD_STATUS is initialized (step S33). At the same time, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 controls the display unit 34 to indicate that the service registration has been successfully performed, as shown by M16 of FIG.
若在步驟S17中檢查到已在區域服務認證伺服器27中進行了服務註冊時,則行動通信單元21之控制器31會控制無線傳送與接收單元41以判定在已於認證伺服器中完成服務註冊之狀態下由於異常原因而終止服務註冊程序且省略步驟S19至S21並在步驟S23之後執行程序。If it is checked in step S17 that the service registration has been performed in the area service authentication server 27, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 controls the wireless transmission and reception unit 41 to determine that the service has been completed in the authentication server. The service registration procedure is terminated due to an abnormality in the state of registration and steps S19 to S21 are omitted and the program is executed after step S23.
現將參看圖7及圖9更詳細地描述根據本發明之實施例的在行動通信單元中嘗試離埠呼叫時處理基於區域服務之離埠呼叫的程序。A procedure for processing a zone-based service-based outgoing call when attempting a call away from a mobile communication unit in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 7 and 9.
用戶使用行動通信單元21之鍵輸入單元32(例如)藉由操縱“呼叫鍵”來選擇諸如語音呼叫及資料呼叫等呼叫連接(步驟S41)。此處,舉例而言,當用戶操縱鍵輸入單元32之輸入鍵時,行動通信單元21之控制器31會控制顯示單元34以顯示(例如)由圖9之M12所指示的螢幕。The user uses the key input unit 32 of the mobile communication unit 21 to select a call connection such as a voice call and a material call by, for example, manipulating a "call key" (step S41). Here, for example, when the user manipulates the input key of the key input unit 32, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 controls the display unit 34 to display, for example, the screen indicated by M12 of FIG.
因而,行動通信單元21之控制器31會控制無線傳送與接收單元33以設定與用於設定服務區域的裝置19的無線傳送與接收單元41之SDP(步驟S43)。此處,可省略步驟S43。此後,行動通信單元21之控制器31會控制無線傳送與接收單元33以傳送對用於設定服務區域的裝置19的ZSD狀態資訊之請求(步驟S45)。Thus, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 controls the wireless transmitting and receiving unit 33 to set the SDP of the wireless transmitting and receiving unit 41 of the device 19 for setting the service area (step S43). Here, step S43 can be omitted. Thereafter, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 controls the wireless transmitting and receiving unit 33 to transmit a request for ZSD status information of the device 19 for setting the service area (step S45).
因而,已透過無線傳送與接收單元41接收到ZSD狀態資訊之請求的用於設定服務區域的裝置19的控制器39會控制無線傳送與接收單元41以讀取儲存於記憶體45中之狀態資訊,並將狀態資訊作為ZSD狀態資訊回應傳送至行動通信單元21(步驟S47)。Therefore, the controller 39 of the device 19 for setting the service area that has received the request for the ZSD status information through the wireless transmission and reception unit 41 controls the wireless transmission and reception unit 41 to read the status information stored in the memory 45. And the status information is transmitted to the mobile communication unit 21 as a ZSD status information response (step S47).
此處,ZSD狀態資訊包括於ZSD狀態資訊回應中。可將ZSD狀態資訊之類型分類為:指示區域服務可用之“正常狀態”、指示用於設定服務區域的裝置之移動距離超出設定值之“設定值超出移動狀態”、指示用於設定服務區域的裝置之硬體異常狀態的“硬體異常狀態”、指示電源停止之“電源故障狀態”,以及指示發生連續重設嘗試之“連續重設嘗試狀態”。Here, the ZSD status information is included in the ZSD status information response. The type of the ZSD status information may be classified into: a "normal state" indicating that the area service is available, a "set value exceeding the movement state" indicating that the moving distance of the device for setting the service area exceeds the set value, and an indication for setting the service area. The "hardware abnormal state" of the hardware abnormal state of the device, the "power failure state" indicating the power supply stop, and the "continuous reset attempt state" indicating the occurrence of the continuous reset attempt.
若用於設定服務區域的裝置19處於“正常狀態”,則ZSD狀態資訊為(例如)“0x00000000”。若用於設定服務區域的裝置19處於“設定值超出移動狀態”,則ZSD狀態資訊為(例如)“0x00000001”。若用於設定服務區域的裝置19處於“硬體異常狀態”,則ZSD狀態資訊為(例如)“0x00000008”。若用於設定服務區域的裝置19處於“電源故障狀態”,則ZSD狀態資訊為(例如)“0x00000010”。若用於設定服務區域的裝置19處於“連續重設嘗試狀態”,則ZSD狀態資訊為(例如)“0x00000040”。If the device 19 for setting the service area is in the "normal state", the ZSD status information is, for example, "0x00000000". If the device 19 for setting the service area is in the "set value exceeds the movement state", the ZSD status information is, for example, "0x00000001". If the device 19 for setting the service area is in the "hardware abnormal state", the ZSD status information is, for example, "0x00000008". If the device 19 for setting the service area is in the "power failure state", the ZSD status information is, for example, "0x00000010". If the device 19 for setting the service area is in the "continuous reset attempt state", the ZSD status information is, for example, "0x00000040".
若檢查到ZSD狀態資訊處於正常狀態,則已接收到ZSD狀態資訊回應(其中包括ZSD狀態資訊)的行動通信單元21之控制器31會控制記憶體37以將ZSD狀態資訊儲存於記憶體37中(步驟S49)。行動通信單元21之控制器31會控制顯示單元34以顯示如圖9之M14所示的將區域服務區域顯示為字元及/或區域服務識別符(zone service identifier,ZSI)(步驟S51)。此處,ZSI可為選自字元、圖形及圖示之至少一個或多個ZSI。If it is checked that the ZSD status information is in a normal state, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 that has received the ZSD status information response (including the ZSD status information) controls the memory 37 to store the ZSD status information in the memory 37. (Step S49). The controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 controls the display unit 34 to display the area service area as a character and/or a zone service identifier (ZSI) as shown by M14 of FIG. 9 (step S51). Here, the ZSI may be at least one or more ZSIs selected from the group consisting of characters, graphics, and illustrations.
此後,行動控制單元21之控制器31會控制行動通信傳送與接收單元35以執行經由基地台22至行動交換中心24之呼叫連接嘗試。此外,行動通信單元21之控制器31會設定使用1位元離埠呼叫訊息(發端訊息)指示行動通信單元21位於服務區域中且用於設定服務區域的裝置19指示正常操作狀態(例如“1”)的服務區域設定資訊,並將服務區域設定資訊傳輸至行動交換中心24(步驟S53)。亦即,行動通信單元21之控制器31會執行基於區域服務之呼叫連接。Thereafter, the controller 31 of the action control unit 21 controls the mobile communication transmitting and receiving unit 35 to perform a call connection attempt via the base station 22 to the mobile switching center 24. Further, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 sets a device 19 indicating that the mobile communication unit 21 is located in the service area using the 1-bit decentralized call message (originating message) and indicates the normal operating state (for example, "1" The service area setting information is transmitted to the mobile switching center 24 (step S53). That is, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 performs a call connection based on the area service.
結果,服務區域設定資訊會使用行動交換中心24來傳送至區域服務用戶資料庫伺服器26,且建立為資料庫並儲存。舉例而言,若區域服務為關於計費帳戶之服務,例如費用折扣服務或免費服務等,則當由計費伺服器29處理計費帳戶時,會參考並反映由區域服務用戶資料庫伺服器26管理之服務區域設定資訊。As a result, the service area setting information is transmitted to the regional service subscriber database server 26 using the mobile switching center 24, and is established as a database and stored. For example, if the regional service is a service related to a billing account, such as a fee discount service or a free service, etc., when the billing server 29 processes the billing account, it will refer to and reflect the service by the regional service user database. 26 management service area setting information.
若在步驟S47檢查到ZSD狀態資訊並未處於正常狀態,則已接收到ZSD狀態資訊回應的行動通信單元21之控制器31會控制行動通信傳送與接收單元35以將ZSD狀態資訊儲存於記憶體37中(步驟S49),並控制顯示單元34不顯示區域服務不可用(步驟S51)。If it is checked in step S47 that the ZSD status information is not in the normal state, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 that has received the ZSD status information response controls the mobile communication transmitting and receiving unit 35 to store the ZSD status information in the memory. 37 (step S49), and the control display unit 34 does not display that the area service is unavailable (step S51).
此後,行動通信單元21之控制器31會控制行動通信傳送與接收單元35以執行經由基地台22至行動交換中心24之呼叫連接嘗試。此外,行動通信單元21之控制器31會設定使用1位元離埠呼叫訊息指示行動通信單元21位於服務區域中且用於設定服務區域的裝置19指示正常操作狀態(例如“0”)的服務區域設定資訊,並將服務區域設定資訊傳輸至行動交換中心24(步驟S53)。亦即,行動通信單元21之控制器31執行一般呼叫連接。Thereafter, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 controls the mobile communication transmitting and receiving unit 35 to perform a call connection attempt via the base station 22 to the mobile switching center 24. Further, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 sets a service indicating that the mobile communication unit 21 is located in the service area and the device 19 for setting the service area indicates the normal operation state (for example, "0") using the 1-bit departure call message. The area setting information is transmitted to the mobile switching center 24 (step S53). That is, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 performs a general call connection.
在未接收到步驟S47之ZSD狀態資訊回應時,則行動通信單元21之控制器31會重複執行上述步驟S45。即使在此情況下,若未接收到ZSD狀態資訊狀態,則行動通信單元21之控制器31會判定當前區域並非基於區域服務之區域,並(例如)顯示當前區域為不可能進行區域服務之區域,如圖9之M15所示。When the ZSD status information response of step S47 is not received, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 repeatedly performs the above-described step S45. Even in this case, if the ZSD status information status is not received, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 determines that the current area is not based on the area service area, and, for example, displays the current area as an area where the area service is impossible. , as shown in M15 of Figure 9.
此後,行動通信單元21之控制器31會控制行動通信傳送與接收單元35以執行經由基地台22至行動交換中心24之呼叫連接嘗試。此外,行動通信單元21之控制器31會設定使用1位元離埠呼叫訊息指示行動通信單元21位於服務區域中且用於設定服務區域的裝置19指示正常操作狀態(例如“0”)的服務區域設定資訊,並將服務區域設定資訊傳輸至行動交換中心24(步驟S51)。亦即,行動通信單元21之控制器31執行一般呼叫連接。Thereafter, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 controls the mobile communication transmitting and receiving unit 35 to perform a call connection attempt via the base station 22 to the mobile switching center 24. Further, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 sets a service indicating that the mobile communication unit 21 is located in the service area and the device 19 for setting the service area indicates the normal operation state (for example, "0") using the 1-bit departure call message. The area setting information is transmitted to the mobile switching center 24 (step S51). That is, the controller 31 of the mobile communication unit 21 performs a general call connection.
