[0066] Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure unless otherwise specifically stated.

[0067] At the same time, it should be understood that for the convenience of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship.

[0068] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present disclosure, its application, or uses.

[0069] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered as part of the specification.

[0070] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0071] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0072] In the related art, the privacy perceived permission of user equipment (UE) is set by default or by the operator, and the user cannot set it by himself. The present disclosure provides a permission configuration method to enable the user to set whether to allow privacy perception according to his own wishes.

[0073] Figure 1 A flowchart of a permission configuration method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown.

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, the permission configuration method includes steps S11 and S12. In some embodiments, the permission configuration method is executed by a unified data management (UDM) network element.

[0075] In step S11, a sensing privacy profile created or updated by a user equipment UE is received, wherein the sensing privacy profile is used to determine whether to authorize a sensing service request. For example, the UE generates the sensing privacy profile, and the core network receives the sensing privacy profile from the UE.

[0076] In some embodiments, the privacy-aware configuration includes at least one of the following: which applications are allowed to perceive the privacy of the user device; which applications are denied to perceive the privacy of the user device; at which times the privacy of the user device is allowed to be perceived; and at which locations the privacy of the user device is allowed to be perceived.

[0077] For example, users can flexibly and customise the authorization status of specific applications (using a blacklist mechanism and / or a whitelist mechanism), time options (whether specific dates and time periods are allowed to be sensed), and location options (whether specific locations are allowed to be sensed).

[0078] UDM receives the perceptual privacy configuration from UE or application function (AF). The following first introduces the way in which UDM receives the perceptual privacy configuration from UE.

[0079] In some embodiments, receiving the perceived privacy configuration created or updated by the UE includes: receiving the perceived privacy configuration from the UE. For example, the UE generates the perceived privacy configuration and sends the perceived privacy configuration to the core network via a non-access stratum message (N1 NAS).

[0080] In some embodiments, the perceived privacy configuration is received from the UE via an access and mobility management function (AMF) network element. For example, the UE sends the perceived privacy configuration to the AMF via an N1 NAS message, and the AMF saves the perceived privacy configuration to the UDM.

[0081] In some embodiments, receiving a perception privacy configuration created or updated by a UE includes: receiving a creation or update request for the perception privacy configuration, wherein the creation or update request for the perception privacy configuration includes the perception privacy configuration. For example, information about the perception privacy configuration is sent in the creation or update request for the privacy configuration.

[0082] In some embodiments, the permission configuration method further includes: sending a response to the request to create or update the privacy-aware configuration. For example, the UDM generates and sends a response to the request to create or update the privacy-aware configuration, indicating that the privacy-aware configuration has been received.

[0083] In some embodiments, sending a response to a request to create or update a perceived privacy configuration includes: sending a response to the perceived privacy configuration to the UE via an AMF network element. For example, the UDM sends a response to the request to create or update a perceived privacy configuration to the AMF, and the AMF sends a response to the request to create or update a perceived privacy configuration to the UE.

[0084] The following describes how UDM receives the privacy-aware configuration from AF.

[0085] In some embodiments, receiving the perceived privacy configuration created or updated by the UE includes: receiving the perceived privacy configuration from an application function AF network element. For example, the UE calls a capability exposure interface through the AF to configure the perceived privacy to the 5G core network (5G core, 5GC).

[0086] The UE creates or modifies the perceptual privacy configuration, sends a Nnef_ParameterProvision_Creat or Nnef_ParameterProvision_Update request to the UDM through the AF in the cloud, and provides the perceptual privacy configuration in the Nnef_ParameterProvision_Creat or Nnef_ParameterProvision_Update request.

[0087] In some embodiments, receiving the perceived privacy configuration from the AF network element includes: receiving the perceived privacy configuration from the AF network element via a network exposure function (NEF) network element. For example, the UE creates or modifies the perceived privacy configuration, sends a Nnef_ParameterProvision_Creat or Nnef_ParameterProvision_Update request to the NEF through the AF in the cloud, and the NEF sends the perceived privacy configuration therein to the UDM.

[0088] In some embodiments, sending a response to a request to create or update a privacy-aware configuration includes: sending a response to the privacy-aware configuration to the AF network element via the NEF network element. For example, the UDM sends a response to the request to create or update a privacy-aware configuration to the NEF, and the NEF sends a response to the request to create or update a privacy-aware configuration to the AF.

[0089] In some embodiments, the permission configuration method further includes: receiving a query request for a perceptual privacy configuration; sending a response to the query request for the perceptual privacy configuration, wherein the response to the query request for the perceptual privacy configuration includes the perceptual privacy configuration. For example, after the perceptual privacy configuration is completed, the UE can also query its own perceptual privacy configuration to determine whether to authorize the perceptual client or external AF to perform the perceptual service. The UE sends a query request for the perceptual privacy configuration to the UDM. After receiving the request, the UDM gives the query result (i.e., the perceptual privacy configuration of the UE) and returns it to the UE.

[0090] The following first introduces how UE queries its own perceived privacy configuration through AMF.

[0091] In some embodiments, receiving a query request for a perceived privacy configuration includes: receiving a query request for a perceived privacy configuration from a UE via an AMF network element. For example, the UE sends a perceived privacy configuration query request to the AMF via an N1 NAS message, and the AMF sends the perceived privacy configuration query request to the UDM.

[0092] In some embodiments, sending a response to a query request for a perceived privacy configuration includes: sending a response to a query request for a perceived privacy configuration to a UE via an AMF network element. For example, after receiving the request, the UDM sends a response to a query request for a perceived privacy configuration to the AMF. The AMF sends a response to a query request for a perceived privacy configuration to the UE to return the UE's own perceived privacy configuration.

[0093] The following describes how the UE queries its own perceived privacy configuration through the cloud AF.

[0094] In some embodiments, receiving a query request for the perception privacy configuration includes: receiving the query request for the perception privacy configuration from the AF network element via the NEF network element. For example, the UE sends the query request for the perception privacy configuration to the NEF through the cloud AF, and the NEF sends the query request for the perception privacy configuration to the UDM.

[0095] In some embodiments, sending a response to a query request for a perceived privacy configuration includes: sending a response to a query request for a perceived privacy configuration to an AF network element via an NEF network element. For example, after receiving the request, the UDM sends a response to a query request for a perceived privacy configuration to the NEF. The NEF sends a response to a query request for a perceived privacy configuration to the AF to return the perceived privacy configuration of the UE itself.

[0096] In some embodiments, the permission configuration method further includes: receiving a perceived service request; and sending a response to the perceived service request according to the perceived privacy configuration. For example, after the perceived privacy configuration has been configured, it can be determined whether to authorize the perceived service request of the external application according to the perceived privacy configuration.

[0097] In some embodiments, the sensing service request comes from a sensing client or an AF. The following first introduces the case where the sensing service request comes from a sensing client.

[0098] In some embodiments, receiving a sensing service request includes: receiving a sensing service request from a sensing client via a mobile positioning center gateway (Gateway Mobile Location Center, GMLC). For example, a sensing client sends a sensing service request to GMLC. GMLC sends a sensing service authorization request to UDM. GMLC is the first network element in the operator network to process the sensing request, performs privacy checks or authorization functions, and implements sending the routing sensing request to AMF, etc.

[0099] In some embodiments, sending a response to a perception service request according to a perception privacy configuration includes: sending a response to the perception service request to a perception client via a mobile positioning center GMLC gateway according to the perception privacy configuration. For example, after receiving the perception service authorization request, the UDM determines whether to authorize the perception service request according to the perception privacy configuration. The UDM sends a perception service authorization response to the GMLC. The perception service authorization response includes a perception service authorization result, that is, whether external applications are allowed to perceive the privacy data of the UE and which part of the data the external application is allowed to perceive. The GMLC notifies the perception client of the perception service authorization result.

[0100] The following first introduces the situation where the perception service request comes from AF.

[0101] In some embodiments, receiving a perception service request includes: receiving a perception service request from an AF network element via an NEF network element. For example, an external AF sends a perception service request to the NEF, and the NEF sends a perception service authorization request to the UDM. Among them, the AF provides one or more parameters to be created, updated or deleted to the NEF through a Nnef_ParameterProvision_Create or Nnef_ParameterProvision_Update or Nnef_ParameterProvision_Delete request. The AF provides an identifier of the target UE, such as a Generic Public Subscription Identifier (GPSI) or an external group ID, and the AF provides a transaction reference ID for identifying the transaction request between the NEF and the AF. In the case of Nnef_ParameterProvision_Create, the NEF assigns the transaction reference ID to the Nnef_ParameterProvision_Create request. The NEF checks whether the requester is allowed to perform the requested service / operation by checking the requester's identifier (i.e., the AF identifier).

[0102] In some embodiments, sending a response to the perceived service request according to the perceived privacy configuration includes: sending a response to the perceived service request to the AF network element via the NEF network element according to the perceived privacy configuration.

[0103] For example, after receiving the perception service authorization request, UDM determines whether to authorize the perception service request according to the perception privacy configuration. UDM sends a perception service authorization response to NEF, and the perception service authorization response includes the perception service authorization result. NEF notifies AF of the perception service authorization result.

[0104] In step S12, the privacy-aware configuration is stored in a unified data repository (UDR).

[0105] For example, UDM sends a notification to UDR and sends the privacy-aware configuration to UDR. UDR completes the storage and update of relevant information.

[0106] In some embodiments, the permission configuration method further includes: receiving a default perceived privacy configuration; storing the default perceived privacy configuration in the UDR network element. For example, the UE can apply to restore the default configuration and notify the network to restore the default configuration through an N1 NAS message. Alternatively, the UE sends a request to the NEF through the AF in the cloud to notify the network to restore the default configuration. That is, the perceived privacy configuration set by the user will overwrite the default configuration, and the 5GC can also provide the user with a default configuration, so that the user can choose to restore the default configuration.

[0107] According to the permission configuration method of some embodiments of the present disclosure, the UDM network element receives the perception privacy configuration created or updated by the user equipment UE, wherein the perception privacy configuration is used to determine whether to authorize the perception service request; the UDM network element then stores the perception privacy configuration in the unified data storage UDR network element. Users can configure whether they are allowed to be perceived according to their own wishes. When a third-party application requests 5GC to perceive the user device, 5GC can reject or accept the perception request based on the perception privacy configuration created or updated by the user himself, thereby realizing the user's (i.e., the perceived person's) perception permission control over his own privacy and effectively protecting his own rights and interests.

[0108] Figure 2 A flowchart of a permission configuration method according to some other embodiments of the present disclosure is shown.

[0109] like Figure 2 As shown, the permission configuration method includes steps S21 and S22. In some embodiments, the permission configuration method is executed by the UE.

[0110] In step S21, a perception privacy configuration is created or updated, wherein the perception privacy configuration is used to determine whether to authorize the perception service request. For example, the UE has the ability to configure its own perceived willingness, and in the case where there is no perception privacy configuration before, a perception privacy configuration is created. In the case where there is a perception privacy configuration (e.g., a default perception privacy configuration) before, the perception privacy configuration is updated.

[0111] In some embodiments, the privacy-aware configuration includes at least one of the following: which applications are allowed to perceive the privacy of the user device; which applications are denied to perceive the privacy of the user device; at which times the privacy of the user device is allowed to be perceived; and at which locations the privacy of the user device is allowed to be perceived.

[0112] For example, the perceived privacy configuration includes at least one of the following: authorization status of a specific application (using a blacklist mechanism and / or a whitelist mechanism); time options (whether a specific date or time period is allowed to be perceived); and location options (whether a specific location is allowed to be perceived).

[0113] In step S22, the perceived privacy configuration is sent to the UDM network element so that the UDM network element stores the perceived privacy configuration in the unified data storage UDR network element. For example, the UE sends the perceived privacy configuration to the UDM, and the UDM sends a notification to the UDR to send the perceived privacy configuration to the UDR. The UDR completes the storage and update of relevant information.

[0114] The following first introduces the method in which the UE sends the perceived privacy configuration to the UDM.

[0115] In some embodiments, sending the perceived privacy configuration to the UDM network element includes: sending the perceived privacy configuration to the UDM network element via the AMF network element. For example, the UE sends the perceived privacy configuration to the AMF via an N1 NAS message, and the AMF saves the perceived privacy configuration to the UDM.

[0116] In some embodiments, sending the privacy-aware configuration to the UDM network element includes: sending a request to create or update the privacy-aware configuration to the UDM network element, wherein the request to create or update the privacy-aware configuration includes the privacy-aware configuration. For example, information about the privacy-aware configuration is sent in the request to create or update the privacy configuration.

[0117] In some embodiments, the permission configuration method further includes: receiving a response to the request to create or update the privacy-aware configuration from the UDM network element. For example, the UDM generates and sends a response to the request to create or update the privacy-aware configuration, indicating that the privacy-aware configuration has been received.

[0118] In some embodiments, receiving a response to a request to create or update a perceived privacy configuration includes: receiving a response to the perceived privacy configuration from a UDM network element via an AMF network element. For example, the UDM sends a response to the request to create or update the perceived privacy configuration to the AMF, and the UE receives a response to the request to create or update the perceived privacy configuration from the AMF.

[0119] The following describes how the UE sends the perceived privacy configuration to the UDM through the AF.

[0120] In some embodiments, sending the perceptual privacy configuration to the UDM network element includes: sending the perceptual privacy configuration to the UDM network element through the AF network element. For example, the UE creates or modifies the perceptual privacy configuration, sends a Nnef_ParameterProvision_Creat or Nnef_ParameterProvision_Update request to the UDM through the AF in the cloud, and provides the perceptual privacy configuration in the Nnef_ParameterProvision_Creat or Nnef_ParameterProvision_Update request.

[0121] In some embodiments, sending the perceived privacy configuration to the UDM network element by the AF network element includes: sending the perceived privacy configuration to the UDM network element by the AF network element via the NEF network element.

[0122] For example, the UE creates or modifies the perception privacy configuration, and sends a Nnef_ParameterProvision_Creat or Nnef_ParameterProvision_Update request to the NEF through the AF in the cloud, and the NEF sends the perception privacy configuration therein to the UDM.

[0123] In some embodiments, receiving a response to a request to create or update the privacy-aware configuration from the UDM network element includes: receiving, by the AF network element, a response to the privacy-aware configuration from the UDM network element via the NEF network element.

[0124] For example, the UDM sends a response to a request to create or update the privacy-aware configuration to the NEF, and the AF obtains a response to the request to create or update the privacy-aware configuration from the NEF.

[0125] In some embodiments, the permission configuration method further includes: sending a query request for a privacy-aware configuration; and receiving a response to the query request for the privacy-aware configuration, wherein the response to the query request for the privacy-aware configuration includes the privacy-aware configuration.

[0126] For example, after the perception privacy configuration is completed, the UE can also query its own perception privacy configuration to determine whether to authorize the perception client or external AF to perform the perception service. The UE sends a query request for the perception privacy configuration to the UDM. After receiving the request, the UDM gives the query result (i.e., the perception privacy configuration of the UE) and returns it to the UE.

[0127] The following first introduces how UE queries its own perceived privacy configuration through AMF.

[0128] In some embodiments, sending a query request for a perceived privacy configuration includes: sending a query request for a perceived privacy configuration to a UDM network element via an AMF network element. For example, the UE sends a UE perceived privacy configuration query request to the AMF via an N1NAS message, and the AMF sends the UE perceived privacy configuration query request to the UDM.

[0129] In some embodiments, receiving a response to a query request for a perceived privacy configuration includes: receiving a response to a query request for a perceived privacy configuration from a UDM network element via an AMF network element. For example, after receiving the request, the UDM sends a response to the query request for the perceived privacy configuration to the AMF. The UE obtains a response to the query request for the perceived privacy configuration from the AMF to return the UE's own perceived privacy configuration.

[0130] The following describes how UE queries its own perceived privacy configuration through cloud AF.

[0131] In some embodiments, sending a query request for the perception privacy configuration includes: sending the query request for the perception privacy configuration to the UDM network element through the AF network element and the NEF network element. For example, the UE sends the query request for the perception privacy configuration to the NEF through the cloud AF, and the NEF sends the query request for the perception privacy configuration to the UDM.

[0132] In some embodiments, receiving a response to a query request for a privacy-aware configuration includes: receiving a response to a query request for a privacy-aware configuration from a UDM network element via an AF network element and via an NEF network element. For example, the UDM sends a response to a query request for a privacy-aware configuration to the NEF, and the NEF sends a response to a query request for a privacy-aware configuration to the AF.

[0133] In some embodiments, the sensing service request comes from a sensing client or an AF. For example, a sensing client sends a sensing service request to a GMLC. The GMLC sends a sensing service authorization request to a UDM. Alternatively, an external AF sends a sensing service request to a NEF, and the NEF sends a sensing service authorization request to a UDM.

[0134] In some embodiments, the permission configuration method further includes: sending a default perceived privacy configuration to the UDM network element so that the UDM network element stores the default perceived privacy configuration to the UDR network element. For example, the UE can apply to restore the default configuration and notify the network to restore the default configuration through an N1 NAS message. Alternatively, the UE sends a request to the NEF through the AF in the cloud to notify the network to restore the default configuration. That is, the perceived privacy configuration set by the user will overwrite the default configuration, and 5GC can also provide the user with a default configuration, so that the user can choose to restore the default configuration.

[0135] According to the permission configuration method of some embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE creates or updates the perception privacy configuration, wherein the perception privacy configuration is used to determine whether to authorize the perception service request; the UE sends the perception privacy configuration to the UDM network element, so that the UDM network element stores the perception privacy configuration to the unified data storage UDR network element. Users can configure whether they are allowed to be perceived according to their own wishes. When a third-party application requests 5GC to perceive the user device, 5GC can reject or accept the perception request based on the perception privacy configuration created or updated by the user himself, thereby realizing the user's (i.e., the perceived person's) perception permission control over his own privacy and effectively protecting his own rights and interests.
