Example 1

On the X-day Y-Z, a warning event occurred in the location S of a certain city (a criminal case, a vehicle accident case, or a flu-infected source contact event, or a radiation source leak/contact event). Mr. P was directly at the time. One of the indirect contacts, and Mr. Q is the key to the alarm event (for different alarm events, it can be a suspect, a perpetrator, or a flu pathogen carrier, etc.).

The mobile phones of Mr. P and Mr. Q (the mobile phone here as the user equipment) save the parked location information and time information, wherein the location information is saved by the cell identity (the user equipment may be in a connected state or in an idle state, Even in flight mode, shutdown state). Since Mr. P and Mr. Q have stayed in the place S at the time of the alarm event, there should be a record of the time information and the position information corresponding to the stay in S in the saved location information and time information.

In order to investigate the alarm event, it is necessary to obtain the information of the key person and the contact person involved in the alarm event. The investigator issues the information of the alarm event through traditional methods such as TV station and network; meanwhile, in order to speed up the process of the alarm event, the investigator The paging message or system message is broadcasted by the operator's wireless access network within a certain geographical range (for example, within the city) (the wireless access network may be a GSM network, a WCDMA network, a CDMA network, a TD-SCDMA network, or an LTE network). The network, the WIMAX network, and the next-generation wireless access network, etc., the paging message or the system message includes the time of the alarm event (X-day Y-time Z-minute) information and location information, and the location information may be the cell identifier adjacent to the location S ( Global Cell Identity (CGI); for example, China Mobile sends a paging message through the LTE network or the system message includes location information for all cells or base station identifiers of all frequency bands in the vicinity of the location S of the alarm event (such as the identity of the GSM cell or base station) , the identity of the TD-SCDMA cell or base station, the identity of the TD-LTE cell or the base station); of course, of course, Police incident identity of the cell where S C address was among them. The location information may also include a WLAN service set identifier SSID, and a basic service set identifier BSSID of the WLAN AP, It can include latitude and longitude information and height information of the place. In order to facilitate paging or system message broadcasts over a large geographic area (eg, within a city), the service server and core network server may participate in the transmission of paging messages or system messages over the wired network; optionally, investigation The person may send relevant time information and location information to the service server, and geographic range information (such as tracking area identifier) that needs to send the broadcast message, and the service server sends time message and location information to the base station in the range through the core network server, the base station The paging message or system information is then broadcast to the user equipment through the air interface.

The user equipment in the geographical range of the broadcast message has received the broadcasted paging message or system message; the mobile phones of Mr. P and Mr. Q are no exception. When Mr. P and Mr. Q’s mobile phones receive such paging messages or system messages respectively (Mr. P. and Mr. Q may receive such paging messages or system messages at different locations, the location received is not in the original location. S), the time information and location information (including the identity of the cell C they have parked) in the paging message or system message broadcasted by Mr. P and Mr. Q's mobile phone, and the saved location information that has been parked. (for example, cell identification) and time information are compared. After the matching is successful, their mobile phones (in the case that Mr. P and Mr. Q are not aware) send confirmation information to the network side, including the location information on the matching (cell identity). ) and time information. At the same time, the acknowledgment information sent to the network side includes the current UE clock of the mobile phone, and the network side compares the current clock of the mobile phone with the system clock, and calibrates the time information in the acknowledgment message sent by the mobile phone (ie, determines that Mr. P and Mr. Q appear in The time of the cell C). When the mobile phone is in an idle state, it receives a broadcast paging message or a system message. By initiating a random access procedure, the mobile phone accesses the network and sends an acknowledgement message to the network side. The process of accessing the network is through the use of the existing access reason. The value (for example, terminal-initiated signaling (MO-signaling)) or based on the cause value of the broadcast establishment connection. In addition to the default random access process initiated by the mobile phone to send the acknowledgment message to the network side, the idle mobile phone can also wait for the traditional service or signaling (traditional service or signaling refers to the existing communication service or letter). For example, the short message service, the Internet access service, etc., when the network access that needs to be triggered is sent to the network side, the confirmation information is sent. In addition, the network side may indicate whether the user equipment is in an idle state, and immediately after the matching is completed, the acknowledgment information is sent through the access network; or, in order to perform network overhead, the user equipment is indicated, in a preset duration. When performing traditional service or signaling network access, the acknowledgment information is sent according to the traditional service or signaling triggered network access; when the user equipment arrives at the predetermined time (the maximum delay allowed by the acknowledgment information), the acknowledgment is not performed. In the traditional service or signaling, the direct access network sends a confirmation message.

When receiving the confirmation message sent by Mr. P and Mr. Q's mobile phone, the network side obtains their mobile phone number (or mobile phone card number) from the sending confirmation message. Through the user signing information, the investigator obtains the identity information of Mr. P and Mr. Q. And from their confirmation information, they are determined to appear near the incident location when the alarm event occurs; in order to make the investigation smoother, the investigator pushes the SMS to the operator to ask them if they understand the alarm event and ask them to cooperate with the investigation. Through such processing, it was avoided that Mr. P did not see the information released by the TV station and the network, and the investigator could further consult Mr. P based on the confirmation information. Through Mr. Q's confirmation information, the investigator can also investigate whether Mr. Q is related to the alarm event based on the confirmation information, thus providing direction for the investigation of the alarm event. Optionally, in order to know the follow-up of the related person, the network side may instruct the mobile phone to send the location information to the network side after the subsequent location update (eg, camping cell change) in the broadcast message or after receiving the acknowledgement message sent by the mobile phone.

In the method of the embodiment of the present invention, the location information and the time information that the mobile phone has once resided should be saved in a storage space that is not affected by the mobile phone SIM or the USIM, so that even if the key person of the alarm event changes the mobile phone card. The parked location information stored in the mobile phone sends a confirmation message to the network side when the network side sends a broadcast message. At the same time, in order to avoid a large number of IoT terminals in the vicinity of the incident, the IoT terminal may not listen to such paging messages, or the network side may indicate the terminal type or SIM/USIM when broadcasting the paging message. Card type information (for example, access control AC level), the terminal further determines whether it matches its own terminal type as one of the necessary conditions for reporting to the network side. In addition, the network side may also instruct the terminal to turn off the location recording function and/or the function of listening to such paging messages or system information when necessary.

Example 2

Both Mr. P and Mr. Q's mobile phone (user equipment) save the parked location information and time information. The location information is saved by the cell identity (the user equipment may be in the connected state, or may be in the idle state, or even in the Flight mode, shutdown status). Since Mr. P and Mr. Q have stayed in location S at the time of the alarm event, the saved location information and time There should be records of time information and location information corresponding to the stay in S in the information.

In order to find the key people and contacts of the alarm event, the investigators posted information through the TV station and the network; at the same time, in order to speed up the process, the investigators through the operator's wireless access network within a certain geographical range (for example, within the city) The paging message is broadcasted, and the paging message includes time (X-day Y-time Z-minute) information and location information of the alarm event, and the location information may be a cell identifier (Global Cell Identity CGI) adjacent to the location S. Of course, the identifier of the cell C where the alarm event occurrence address S is located is also in the identifier. The location information may also include a WLAN service set identifier SSID, a basic service set identifier BSSID of the WLAN AP, and latitude and longitude information of the location. It may also include latitude and longitude information, height information for the location. In order to facilitate the initiation of paging message broadcasts over a large geographical area (eg, within a city), the service server and the core network server may participate in the transmission of paging messages over the wired network; optionally, the investigator may refer to the service server Sending relevant time information and location information, and geographic range information (such as tracking area identifier) that needs to send a broadcast message, the service server sends a time message and location information to the base station in the range through the core network server, and the base station broadcasts through the air interface. Call the message or system information to the user device.

The user equipments in the paging geographical range have received the broadcast paging message; of course, when the mobile phones of Mr. P and Mr. Q respectively receive such paging messages, the paging messages broadcast by Mr. P and Mr. Q’s mobile phone will be broadcast. The time information and location information (including the identity of the cell C they have parked in) and the saved location information (such as cell identity) and time information are compared, and after matching, their mobile phones ( In the case where Mr. P and Mr. Q are not aware, the acknowledgment information is sent to the network side, including location information (cell identity) and time information on the match.

The network side also indicates in the broadcast paging message that only the location information and the time information that the mobile phone has camped to match the location information and the time information broadcasted by the network side are transmitted; or all the parked locations saved by the mobile phone Information and time information. At the same time, the confirmation message sent by Mr. P and Mr. Q to the network side includes the current UE clock of the mobile phone, and the network side compares the current clock of the mobile phone with the system clock, and calibrates the time information in the confirmation message sent by the mobile phone (ie, determines Mr. P) And Mr. Q appeared in the time of the community C). When the mobile phone is in an idle state, it receives a broadcast paging message. By initiating a random access procedure, the mobile phone accesses the network and sends an acknowledgement message to the network side. The process of accessing the network is by using an existing access cause value (for example, Terminal-initiated signaling (MO-signaling) or based on the cause value established by the broadcast. In addition to the default idle mobile phone initiated random access In addition to sending the acknowledgement information to the network side, the idle mobile phone can also wait for the network access triggered by the traditional service or signaling to send the acknowledgement information to the network side. In addition, the network side may indicate whether the user equipment is in an idle state, and immediately after the matching is completed, the acknowledgment information is sent through the access network; or, in order to perform network overhead, the user equipment is indicated, in a preset duration. When performing traditional service or signaling network access, the acknowledgment information is sent according to the traditional service or signaling triggered network access; when the user equipment arrives at the predetermined time (the maximum delay allowed by the acknowledgment information), the acknowledgment is not performed. In the traditional service or signaling, the direct access network sends a confirmation message.

When receiving the confirmation message sent by Mr. P and Mr. Q's mobile phone, the network side obtains their mobile phone number (or mobile phone card number) from the sending confirmation message. Through the user signing information, the investigator obtains the identity information of Mr. P and Mr. Q. And confirm from their confirmation that they appeared near the incident location when the alarm event occurred; in order to make the investigation smoother, the investigator pushes the SMS to the operator to ask them if they understand the alarm event and ask them to cooperate with the investigation (alarm) The event information may be pushed by the base station that sends the broadcast message by means of an air interface message, or may be pushed by other network side servers, such as a core network element or a service server, by way of non-access layer NAS information or service information. Through such processing, it was avoided that Mr. P did not see the information released by the TV station and the network, and the investigator could further consult Mr. P based on the confirmation information. Through Mr. Q's confirmation information, the investigator can also investigate whether there is an alarm event related to Mr. Q based on the confirmation information, thus providing direction for the investigation of the alarm event.

Optionally, in order to know the follow-up of the related person, the network side may instruct the mobile phone to send the location information to the network side after the subsequent location update (eg, camping cell change) in the broadcast message or after receiving the acknowledgement message sent by the mobile phone.

Example 3

On the X-day Y, there was an alarm event in the location S of the city from Z1 to Z2. It was assumed that the incident was caused by the source of infection. Mr. P was one of the contacts at the time.

Mr. P's mobile phone saves the parked location information and time information according to the settings. The location information is saved by the cell identifier (the user equipment may be in the connected state, or may be in the idle state, or even in the flight mode or the shutdown state). ). Since Mr. P has stayed in the place S when the alarm event occurs, it is assumed that it is Z3 to Z4 when X is Y; among them, Z3 to Z4 and Z1 to Z2 have overlapping time periods, and Mr. P saves the position information and time information. There should be a record in it.

In order to find potential contacts of incidents of contact with infectious sources, the Health Bureau publishes information through television stations and networks. In addition, in order to speed up the process, the Health Bureau is within a certain geographical range (for example, within the city) through the operator's wireless access network. Broadcast to send a paging message (or system message), the paging message includes the time period of the alarm event (Z1 minutes when X is Y, Z2 minutes when X is Y, or Z1 minutes when X is Y at the start time, the length of the period Z2-Z1 is divided into information and location information, and the location information may be a cell identity (Global Cell Identity CGI) adjacent to the location S. Of course, the identity of the cell C in which the alarm event occurs is also in the identification. The location information may also include a WLAN service set identifier SSID, a basic service set identifier BSSID of the WLAN AP, and may also include latitude and longitude information and altitude information of the location. In order to facilitate paging or system message broadcasts over a large geographic area (eg, within a city), the service server and core network server may participate in the transmission of paging messages or system messages over the wired network; optionally, investigation The person may send relevant time information and location information to the service server, and geographic range information (such as tracking area identifier) that needs to send the broadcast message, and the service server sends time message and location information to the base station in the range through the core network server, the base station The paging message or system information is then broadcast to the user equipment through the air interface.

The user equipments in the paging geographical range have received the broadcast paging message; when the mobile phone of Mr. P receives such paging messages respectively, the time information and location information in the paging message broadcasted by the mobile phone (including him once The identity of the camped cell C is compared with the location information (such as the cell identifier) and the time information (the information of the time period) recorded in the mobile phone of Mr. P. After the matching is successful (the matching success means: The location information is the same, for example, the cell identifier is the same, and the time period overlaps. His mobile phone (if not known by Mr. P) sends an acknowledgement message to the network side, including the cell identity and time information on the match. When Mr. P's mobile phone is in the idle state, it receives the broadcast paging message. By initiating the random access process, the mobile phone accesses the network and sends the confirmation information to the network side. The process of accessing the network is through the use of the existing access reason. The value (eg, terminal-initiated signaling (MO-signaling)) or based on the cause value established by the broadcast. The mobile phone in the idle state can wait for the network access triggered by the traditional service or signaling to send the acknowledgement information to the network side, except that the mobile phone that is in the idle state initiates the random access process to send the acknowledgement information to the network side. In addition, the network side may indicate the user equipment in the broadcast, whether the acknowledgment information is sent through the access network immediately after the matching is completed in the idle state, or the user equipment is preset in order to perform network overhead. During the time period, when the traditional service or signaling network access is performed, the confirmation information is sent according to the traditional service or signaling triggered network access; the user equipment arrives at the predetermined time. When the traditional service or signaling is not performed, the direct access network sends a confirmation message.

When receiving the confirmation message sent by Mr. P's mobile phone, the network side obtains their mobile phone number (or mobile phone card number) from the sending confirmation message. Through the user signing information, the investigator obtains the identity information of Mr. P and confirms from them. The information confirms that he appeared near the incident site at the time of the incident of contact with the source of infection; in order to make the investigation smoother, the investigators pushed the SMS to the operator to ask them if they knew about the incident of contact with the source of infection and asked them to cooperate; for example, to P Mr. pushed a text message asking if they had any discomfort and asked them to cooperate. Through such processing, it is avoided that Mr. P does not see the information posted by the TV station and the network, and the investigator can further consult Mr. P based on the confirmation information. Since Mr. P may not necessarily see the information sent by the Health Bureau through the TV station or the network, the method of the embodiment of the present invention can make it possible for Mr. P to know one of the persons who may be present, so that Mr. P does not know. Further notifications, the method also avoids the occupation of public resources such as television stations or networks. Optionally, in order to understand the follow-up of the related person, the network side may configure the mobile phone to send the location information to the network side after the location update is performed in the broadcast message or after receiving the confirmation message sent by the mobile phone.

In order to prevent the terminal of a large number of Internet of Things near the incident site from receiving the network side broadcast, the network side indicates that the terminal may not listen to the broadcast on the network side; or the network side broadcasts the location information and the time information. The information indicating the terminal type or the SIM/USIM card type (for example, the access control AC level) may be used, and the terminal further determines whether the terminal type matching itself is a necessary condition for transmitting the confirmation information to the network side. In addition, the network side can also perform the function of instructing the terminal to turn off the location recording function and/or to monitor the network side broadcast.
