Method of obtaining mobile terminal ability updating information

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for obtaining update capability information of newly installed software or deleted installed software after a mobile terminal leaves the factory, comprising the following steps: the mobile terminal initiates a service request carrying the factory capability information to the network side; the network side inquires the factory capability information Whether it matches the requested service, if not, the network side requires the mobile terminal to report its expansion capability; after the mobile terminal reports its expansion capability information to the network side, the network side then performs a corresponding response according to whether the mobile terminal’s expansion capability matches the requested service business processing. The update request of the present invention is initiated by the network side when needed, the method is simple, flexible and reliable, and reduces network overhead, enabling operators to provide more flexible service provision mechanisms.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for acquiring the capability update of a mobile terminal, in particular to a method for the network side to obtain the capability update information of the mobile terminal and provide corresponding communication services after the mobile terminal newly installs or deletes certain software, and belongs to the field of mobile communication technology. Background technique [0002] With the development of mobile communication technology, mobile networks have gradually provided various services for mobile terminals. At present, many network devices perform corresponding business operations based on the capabilities of mobile terminals. With the continuous development of mobile terminal technology, open operating systems / platforms have been increasingly used. The so-called openness means that the operating system / platform opens the programming interface API to the third party, so that a large number of third-party softwa...

Problems solved by technology

If the capability of the mobile terminal is increased or decreased by installing or deleting software on the mobile terminal, and the network side only knows the capability of the mobile terminal when it leaves the factory, it cannot know the change in the capability of the mobile terminal due to the user's personal behavior after leaving the factory, which will lead to Cannot provide users with services more suitable for mobile terminal capabilities

For example, the mobile terminal used by a user does not support mpeg4 video playback, but the user can support this service after installing a video playback software, but if the user does not actively update the mobile terminal capability information, when the user requests video services related to mpeg4 When the mobile terminal does not support mpeg4 by default, the operator can handle it according to the default, so that the user cannot enjoy the service

Therefore, in this way, the services on the network side and the mobile terminal side cannot match, and users cannot obtain information in a timely and correct manner.

[0007] A method for updating mobile terminal capability information is disclosed in the document with the application number 03149551.6. Compared with the above three methods commonly used in the prior art, it overcomes the shortcomings of the static way for the network side to obtain mobile communication terminal capability information. However, in this document, the mobile terminal capability update request is initiated by the mobile terminal. When the network side considers it unnecessary to initiate an update request, if the mobile terminal initiates the initiative, it will cause an additional burden on the network; and when the network decides that it is necessary to update the mobile When the terminal functions, it is impossible to take effective means to obtain mobile terminal capability information
