Personal number communications system

Claim 2

Procedure according to claim 1, characterized in that the central network node (9) is placed at, or in connection to, existing telecommunications network (7) without influencing network functions, numbering schemes, terminals in said telecommunications network (7).

Claim 3

Procedure according to claim 2, characterized in that the central network node (9) utilizes the automatic registration functions of the mobile telephone networks and the cordless telephone systems for simplified management.

Claim 4

Procedure according to claim 1, characterized in that the central network node (9) in the normal case ("default") relates the personal number to a terminal identity (1, 2) in NMT or GSM.

Claim 5

Procedure according to claim 1, characterized in that the central network node (9) relates the personal number to a current access point in a cordless access system (6) at automatic registration of a cordless telephone (3) in the access system (6).

Claim 6

Procedure according to claim 1, characterized in that the central network node (9) relates the personal number to a current fixed access point, for instance telephone jack, at manual registration.

Claim 7

Procedure according to any of the previous claims, characterized in that the central network node (9) manages number conversion from the dialled number to a related mobile terminal identity, related cordless or related fixed access point at incoming calls.

Claim 8

Procedure according to any of the previous claims, characterized in that the central network node (9) identifies a user at outgoing call by the related terminal identity (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and by that allows a collected debiting.

Claim 9

Procedure according to any of the previous claims, characterized in that a direct communication is realized between the central network node and HLR of the GSM, respective HMTX of the NMT, to achieve a more efficient mobility management.

Claim 10

Procedure according to any of the previous claims, characterized in that a new functionality called MMF (Mobility Management Function) is introduced in the AXE local station to get a more efficient mobility management.

Claim 11

Device for introduction of one for each subscriber general personal number for use in all existing telecommunications networks (7), preferably PSTN, ISDN, GSM, NMT and in cordless access systems (6) preferably DECT, connected to said telecommunications network (7) characterized in that the device consists of a central network node (9) which is placed at, or in connection to, existing telecommunications network (7) without influencing network functions, numbering schemes, terminals in said network (7) at which at call from a subscriber, located in just any telecommunications network (7) or who utilizes cordless access systems (6) connected to said telecommunications network (7), to another subscriber located in the same telecommunications network (7)/cordless access system (6), or in another telecommunications network (7)/cordless access system (6), the call is connected to said central network node (9) arranged to convert the received personal number to the specific number corresponding to the telecommunications network at which the called subscriber has registered himself/herself, whereafter said central network node (9) is arranged to execute connection of said call to the current access point which corresponds to the specific number of the called subscriber.

Claim 12

Device according to claim 11, characterized in that said central network node (9) includes said personal number which defines one for respective subscriber user specific service profile at which said node (9) further includes information of current "routing"-addresses, addresses to personal mail boxes and other existing services as well as necessary administrative information such as debiting parameters, invoice addresses etc.

Claim 13

Device according to any of the claims 11-12, characterized in that said central network node in the normal case ("default") is arranged to relate the personal number to a terminal indentity (1, 2) in NMT or GSM.

Claim 14

Device according to any of the claims 11-13, characterized in that said central network node (9) is arranged to relate the personal number to a current access point in a cordless access system (6) at automatic registration of a cordless telephone (3) in the access system (6).

Claim 15

Device according to any of the claims 11-14, characterized in that said central network node (9) is arranged to relate the personal number to a current fixed access point, for instance telephone jack, at manual registration.

Claim 16

Device according to any of the claims 11-15, characterized in that said central network node (9) is an IN-node.

Claim 17

Device according claims 15, characterized in that two levels of IN-nodes (9) are utilized, i.e. SCF/SDFv and SCF/SDFh arranged for management of local respective central service controls and data management for mobile users, preferably in cordless access systems (6).
