[0002] In the wireless network field, the user terminal interface accessing the 5G network generally displays the network logo of the operator currently providing mobile services. Usually, the logo is the name of the operator providing mobile services.

[0003] The operator's network logo is typically sent to user terminals by the operator based on the PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network). If the operator's network logo displayed on a user terminal needs to be updated or replaced, the operator must perform the update and replacement on all user terminals connected to the PLMN. This makes it difficult to meet operators' needs for replacing the operator's network logo for user terminals in specific areas, such as emergency response areas or shopping malls.

[0004] Therefore, the updating and replacing method of the network logo LOGO in the related art is difficult to update and replace the user terminals in a specific area, and needs to be further optimized. Summary of the Invention

[0062] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0063] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only configured to explain the present application and are not configured to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating the examples of the present application.

[0064] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0065] In the related art, if the network identification LOGO displayed in the user terminal needs to be updated and replaced, the operator needs to update and replace all user terminals connected to the PLMN. In certain specific scenarios, such as large shopping malls, large sports events, emergency communications, etc., there is a demand for operators to issue special regional network identification for all user terminals in a specific area without signing a contract in advance. That is, when the user terminal enters a specific area, it can display information related to activities, corporate logos, emergency communications, etc. in the position of the original traditional operator LOGO, thereby notifying, publicizing or promoting all users residing in the specific area and improving the user experience. Among them, the specific area includes a specific location area and a specific communication area. However, the update and replacement method of the network identification LOGO in the related art is difficult to update and replace for user terminals in a specific area, so it needs to be further optimized.

[0066] Example 1

[0067] The network identification replacement method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be performed by a network identification replacement device and an electronic device, etc. The electronic device can be a network element of the core network, such as AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function). The following is an example of the network identification replacement method being performed by AMF.

[0068] like Figure 1As shown, the network identification replacement method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include steps S101 to S103.

[0069] S101. When detecting that a target terminal enters a preset communication area, determine regional network identification information corresponding to the preset communication area.

[0070] Exemplarily, in the network logo replacement method, the network logo refers to a network LOGO, which can be a corporate LOGO, a communication operator's LOGO, or a custom LOGO, such as welcome text, promotional images, activity logos, and the like.

[0071] Exemplarily, the target terminal refers to a user terminal that enters a preset communication area, and the user terminal may be a mobile phone, a smart watch with communication function, or the like.

[0072] For example, the preset communication area can be set and divided according to cells, base stations, etc. At the same time, the preset communication area can correspond to a geographical location area, for example, a shopping mall, a school, an emergency area, etc. The correspondence can mean that the preset communication area covers the geographical location area, or the preset communication area and the geographical location area are the same or partially overlap.

[0073] Exemplarily, the regional network identification information includes information such as the regional network identification, the display duration corresponding to the regional network identification, and / or attributes corresponding to the regional network identification. The regional network identification may be dynamic text or an image, static text or an image, etc. The attributes corresponding to the regional network identification may be attributes such as the data size and number of the regional network identification. Based on the attributes corresponding to the regional network identification, the corresponding regional network identification can be queried.

[0074] S102: Generate a corresponding configuration update instruction based on the regional network identification information, wherein the configuration update instruction at least includes the regional network identification.

[0075] Exemplarily, a configuration update instruction refers to an instruction for indicating a configuration update, which may be a ConfigurationUpdate Command message. The ConfigurationUpdate Command message is a configuration update instruction sent by the AMF to a UE (User Equipment) or a target terminal to dynamically modify the UE's registration or session-related parameters.

[0076] S103: Send a configuration update instruction to the target terminal, so that the target terminal changes the network identifier currently displayed on the target terminal to the regional network identifier according to the configuration update instruction.

[0077] Exemplarily, the regional network logo may be a custom text logo, such as welcome, or may be other preset logos, such as an emergency communication logo, an activity logo, and the like.

[0078] For example, the network identifier currently displayed on the target terminal may be the default operator identifier LOGO, or it may be the regional network identifier of another preset communication area. When the target terminal enters the current preset communication area, the currently displayed network identifier will be replaced with the regional network identifier corresponding to the current preset communication area, thereby realizing the update and replacement of user terminals in a specific area.

[0079] Exemplarily, the target terminal may also set the network identification change, such as not changing the network identification, allowing the maximum display time of the network identification after the change, etc., to improve the user experience.

[0080] According to the network identification replacement method provided in an embodiment of the present application, upon detecting that a target terminal has entered a preset communication area, the method determines the regional network identification information corresponding to the preset communication area and generates a corresponding configuration update instruction based on the regional network identification information. Simultaneously, the method sends the configuration update instruction to the target terminal, causing the target terminal to replace the network identification currently displayed on the target terminal with the regional network identification according to the configuration update instruction. This method allows network identification replacement for terminals in the preset communication area, thereby resolving the problem in related technologies of difficulty in updating and replacing network identifications for terminals in a specific area.

[0081] Example 2

[0082] like Figure 2 As shown, the network identification replacement method provided in this embodiment of the present application is further described based on the network identification replacement method provided in Example 1 of the present application, and may include steps S201 to S206. Step S201 can be replaced with step S101 in Example 1, and steps S202 to S203 can be replaced with step S102 in Example 1. This embodiment is not limited to this. In this embodiment, the regional network identification information includes the regional network identification and the display duration corresponding to the regional network identification.

[0083] S201: When a target terminal is detected to enter a preset communication area, corresponding regional network identification information is determined from a preset database according to the preset communication area. The preset database stores a mapping relationship between the preset communication area and the regional network identification information.

[0084] Exemplarily, the preset communication area is the network coverage area of ​​each cell in the preset cell list, the network coverage area of ​​each base station in the preset base station list, or the network coverage area of ​​each cell in the preset tracking area list. By adopting multiple communication area methods, it can be applied to more application scenarios and improve the effect of updating and replacing the network logo in a specific area, where the specific area includes a specific location area and a preset communication area.

[0085] For example, if the specific area is a large shopping mall, which may only be within the network coverage of a few cells, a preset cell list can be used. If the specific area is an emergency area, which spans a large area and involves multiple cells in multiple base stations, a preset tracking area list can be used.

[0086] Exemplarily, the preset database may be a small storage database in the AMF or other storage device.

[0087] Exemplarily, the mapping relationship between the preset communication area and the regional network identification information is a one-to-one correspondence. The preset database may store a mapping relationship between other preset communication areas and regional network identification information. The other preset communication areas are different from the network area covered by the preset communication area.

[0088] Exemplarily, the method of detecting that the target terminal enters the preset communication area can be based on whether the location of the target terminal is located in a specific location area (the specific location area corresponds to the preset communication area), or can be based on whether the target terminal switches to a cell in the preset communication area.

[0089] In some implementations, before step S201, a mapping relationship configuration process may be further included, specifically as follows:

[0090] Receive a parameter configuration request sent by an application server. The parameter configuration request includes a mapping relationship between a preset communication area and regional network identification information.

[0091] The mapping relationship is stored in a preset database.

[0092] Send a parameter configuration response message to the application server.

[0093] Each time a new configuration requirement arises, the application server (AF) sends a parameter configuration request to the AMF, which quickly configures the mapping relationship between the preset communication area and the regional network identification information in the AMF, thereby achieving efficient configuration of the mapping relationship. At the same time, the application server can connect to other application servers of a third party. After the third party provides the network identification change requirement, the application server will quickly configure the AMF, improving the efficiency of subsequent network identification switching.

[0094] Exemplarily, the application server may send a parameter configuration request to the AMF through other network function modules (NF). The parameter configuration request refers to a request message for parameter configuration, which may be a Param Provision Request message.

[0095] Exemplarily, the parameter configuration response message refers to a response message to a parameter configuration request, and the parameter configuration response message may be a Param Provision Response.

[0096] S202: Format the regional network identifier and the display duration according to a format corresponding to the configuration update instruction to generate a formatted regional network identifier and display duration.

[0097] For example, the display duration can be set to 0, 10 minutes, one hour, two hours or forever according to actual application requirements.

[0098] For example, if a certain area only needs to display the regional network logo for 10 minutes to serve as a reminder and promotion, the display time can be 10 minutes.

[0099] For example, after the display time of the regional network identifier of the target terminal is reached, the network identifier may not be displayed, or the default network identifier recorded in the target terminal may be displayed, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0100] Exemplarily, the format of the configuration update instruction may adopt a TLV (Type-Length-Value) structure.

[0101] S203: Generate a configuration update instruction according to the formatted regional network identifier and display duration.

[0102] For example, the formatted regional network identifier and display duration can be combined with other parameters to generate a configuration update instruction, such as a Network Name parameter, a TimeZone parameter, and the like.

[0103] S204: Send a configuration update instruction to the target terminal, so that the target terminal changes the network identifier currently displayed on the target terminal to the regional network identifier according to the configuration update instruction.

[0104] The implementation of S204 in this embodiment is similar to that of S103 in the previous embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0105] S205: When it is detected that the target terminal leaves the preset communication area, a corresponding new configuration update instruction is generated based on the preset default network identifier.

[0106] Exemplarily, the method of detecting that the target terminal has left the preset communication area is similar to the method of detecting entry, and is determined based on whether the location of the target terminal has left a specific location area (the specific location area corresponds to the preset communication area), or can be based on whether the target terminal has switched to a cell in another communication area.

[0107] Exemplarily, the preset default network logo may be the network logo LOGO of the operator, other customized network logos, and the like.

[0108] Exemplarily, the new configuration update instruction is used to instruct the target terminal to replace the regional network identifier with a preset default network identifier, such as the operator's network identifier LOGO.

[0109] S206: Send a new configuration update instruction to the target terminal, so that the target terminal replaces the regional network identifier with a preset default network identifier according to the new configuration update instruction.

[0110] For example, when the target terminal leaves the preset communication area, the currently displayed regional network identifier will be replaced with the preset default network identifier, so that the network identifier of the user terminal in the preset communication area remains the regional network identifier, and the user terminal that leaves the preset communication area will no longer display the regional network identifier.

[0111] In some implementations, a process of revoking the network identification configuration is further included. For example, after sending a parameter configuration response message to the application server, the process further includes:

[0112] Receive the parameter cancellation request sent by the application server.

[0113] Cancel the request to delete the mapping relationship stored in the preset database according to the parameters.

[0114] Send a parameter cancellation response message to the application server.

[0115] In actual applications, there may be a need to revoke the network identification configuration, such as when a large-scale event has been completed or an emergency scenario has ended. The application server can revoke the network identification configuration by sending a parameter cancellation request to AMF, so that AMF can delete the mapping relationship stored in the preset database, so that the network identification replacement process will no longer be performed on the terminal entering the preset communication area.

[0116] Exemplarily, the mapping relationship stored in the preset database may be updated and replaced. For example, when the area changes but the regional network identifier does not change, the mapping relationship between the preset communication area and the regional network identifier may be updated.

[0117] For example, in an actual application scenario, the mapping relationship between other preset communication areas and regional network identifiers stored in the preset database may also be deleted.

[0118] Exemplarily, a parameter cancellation request refers to a request message for parameter cancellation configuration or parameter revocation, and the parameter cancellation request may be a Param CancelRequest message.

[0119] Exemplarily, the parameter cancel response message refers to a message that responds to a parameter cancel request, and the parameter cancel response message may be a Param CancelResponse message.

[0120] In some implementations, after S204, a parameter cancellation request may be received from the application server. The specific process is as follows:

[0121] Receive the configuration update completion information sent by the target terminal.

[0122] In response to receiving the parameter cancellation request sent by the application server, a corresponding new configuration update instruction is generated based on the preset default network identifier.

[0123] A new configuration update instruction is sent to the target terminal, so that the target terminal replaces the regional network identifier with a preset default network identifier according to the new configuration update instruction.

[0124] After receiving the configuration update completion information sent by the target terminal, it means that the target terminal has completed the replacement of the network identity. At this time or later, if a parameter cancellation request is received from the application server, the network identity of the target terminal needs to be replaced with a preset default network identity to meet actual application needs.

[0125] The network identifier replacement method provided in this embodiment uses AMF local configuration or application server parameter configuration procedures to enable the AMF to issue a specific regional network identifier when a user (user terminal) enters a specific location area (preset communication area), and to issue a default network identifier when the user (user terminal) leaves the specific location area. This meets the needs of users at events such as large shopping malls, large sporting events, and large live broadcasts, as well as users in emergency scenarios, to display regional network identifiers and meet the needs of information promotion in events or emergency scenarios, thereby improving user experience and information promotion efficiency.

[0126] In order to better understand the network identification replacement method provided in the embodiment of the present application, a specific application implementation method is described below.

[0127] The network identity replacement method of this embodiment uses the AMF as the execution entity, where the target terminal is UE (User Equipment) for example. The specific process is as follows:

[0128] This embodiment proposes two methods to enable the AMF to issue a specific regional network identifier to some or all UEs in a preset communication area, as follows:

[0129] Method 1: The AMF directly issues specific regional network identifiers based on the communication area configurations of different dimensions. The AMF is configured based on communication areas of different granularities, where communication areas include but are not limited to tracking area identifiers, base stations, and cells.

[0130] like Figure 3 As shown, the specific process is as follows:

[0131] Step S301: Configure Regional Network Identifiers: The operator configures the required pre-defined communication area through the AMF and associates the regional network identifier, such as the network identifier associated with the shopping mall logo. The configured communication area can be represented by a list of cells, base stations, or tracking areas where the activity is located, or a list of cells, base stations, or tracking areas in a specific area during an emergency. The cell information included in the cell list, base station information included in the base station list, and tracking area information included in the tracking area list can be pre-configured.

[0132] Step S302: The UE moves into a preset communication area (specific location area).

[0133] Step S303: The AMF detects that the UE has entered a preset communication area (specific location area) and sends a Configuration Update Command message to the UE, carrying the regional network identifier. Considering the need for display duration in certain scenarios, the display duration of the regional network identifier can be included when the regional network identifier is sent.

[0134] Step S304: The UE receives and validates the regional network identifier issued by the network and sends a Configuration update complete message to the AMF. The UE may decide whether to receive and display the network identifier issued by the network based on local policies, such as whether to receive and replace the network identifier issued by the network.

[0135] Step S305: The UE leaves the configured preset communication area.

[0136] Step S306: The AMF detects that the UE leaves the preset communication area and issues a new configuration update instruction - Configuration update command message, which carries the default network identifier or indication information instructing the UE to adopt the default network identifier.

[0137] Step S307: The UE receives and validates the default network identifier issued by the network and sends a configuration update completion message to the AMF. Alternatively, if the UE receives an indication to adopt the default network identifier, it reverts to the pre-configured default network identifier. Alternatively, if the regional network identifier validity period expires, the UE reverts to the pre-configured default network identifier.

[0138] Method 2: The AF issues a mapping relationship between the preset communication area and the regional network identification information.

[0139] Through capability exposure, the AF (which provides an open interface to third-party application servers) issues a mapping between preset communication areas and regional network identification information. This mapping can be sent directly to the AMF or transferred to the AMF through other NFs, such as the NEF (Network Exposure Function).

[0140] like Figure 4 As shown, the specific process is as follows:

[0141] Step S401: The AF issues a mapping between a preset communication area and regional network identification information as needed. For example, at the start of a large-scale event, it sends a Param Provision Request message containing the mapping. This message can be sent directly to the AMF or relayed to the AMF via another NF, such as the NEF.

[0142] Step S402: The AMF saves the received mapping relationship between the preset communication area and the regional network identification information.

[0143] Step S403: The AMF sends a parameter configuration response message Param Provision Response to the AF.

[0144] Step S404: The UE moves into a preset communication area (specific location area).

[0145] Step S405: The AMF detects that the UE enters the preset communication area and sends a configuration update command message carrying the configured regional network identifier.

[0146] Step S406: The UE receives and validates the regional network identifier issued by the network side, and sends a configuration update complete message to the AMF.

[0147] Step S407: The UE leaves the preset communication area.

[0148] Step S408: The AMF detects that the UE leaves the preset communication area and sends a new configuration update instruction - Configuration update command message carrying the configured default network identifier.

[0149] Step S409: The UE receives and validates the default network identifier issued by the network side, and sends a configuration update completion message to the AMF.

[0150] The application server can cancel the mapping relationship between the preset communication area and the regional network identifier and send a parameter cancellation request. The request can be sent directly to the AMF or transferred to the AMF through other NFs. Figure 5 As shown, the specific process is as follows:

[0151] Step S501: The AF cancels the mapping relationship between the preset communication area and the regional network identifier as needed. For example, when a large-scale event ends, it sends a parameter cancellation request - Param Cancel Request message. The message can be sent directly to the AMF or transferred to the AMF through other NFs such as NEF.

[0152] Step S502: AMF deletes the mapping relationship between the preset communication area and the regional network identifier.

[0153] Step S503: AMF sends a response message Param CancelResponse to AF.

[0154] Step S504: The AMF detects that the UE leaves the preset communication area and sends a new configuration update command message carrying the configured default network identifier.

[0155] Step S505: The UE receives and validates the default network identifier issued by the network side, and sends a configuration update completion message to the AMF.

[0156] The network identification replacement method of this embodiment can provide a flexible regional configuration that can be configured according to different granularities, such as regional configuration in dimensions such as tracking areas, cells, and base stations. A specific location area is selected according to business needs, and the corresponding communication area is configured. Thus, customized network identification LOGO information is issued to all mobile users entering a specific location area or communication area to replace the operator network identification on their terminals, meeting the need to update and replace the network identification of terminals in specific location areas. Among them, specific location areas such as large shopping malls, concert venues, corporate parks and other places, according to business needs, for mobile users entering these specific location areas, personalized information such as welcome, corporate logos, dynamic logos, etc. is issued to improve user experience and promote information. In addition, this method can also be used for public emergencies, issuing relevant notifications to all users in a specified area, which are displayed directly on the terminal, thereby achieving fast information transmission and improving emergency efficiency.
