    The subscriber information is stored in the subscriber identity module (SIM), which is applied as a smart card (SC). The SIM card is a smart card that stores identity, subscriber relationships, subscriber information about subscriptions, radio conditions and other information. The SIM card contains the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (lMS1), which identifies the subscriber, a secret key for authentication, and other user information.
    The subscriber identity module (SIM) in GSM telephones was originally created to enable a secure way to connect individual subscribers to the network, but has now become a standardized and secure application platform for GSM and next-generation networks.
    UMTS is the next (3rd) generation mobile communications network, providing a wider range of multimedia services, such as video. UMTS has specified the use of USIM (universal SIM) as a development of SIM. In GSM and UMTS networks, the (U) SlM card is the provision of value-added services for users. USIM (Universal Subsriber Central for both subscriber information and identity module), commonly referred to as SIM card, is the user's subscription to the UMTS mobile network. USIM contains relevant information that enables access to the subscribed operator's network.
    SIM applications or SIM services can be downloaded to a mobile station using radio (Over-The-Air, OTA). Such applications can perform services in the terminal, such as displaying a text on the screen or launching the terminal's browser, through the SIM (application) too / kit (commonly called SA T) interface between the SIM and the terminal. The interface is specified in the GSM specification 11.14 standard 1995 for GSM 2G Networks. Different terminal models support the 11.14 specification to varying degrees.
    SAT is a standard for the GSM system that enables SIMs to initiate actions that can be used for various value-added services (VAS).
    SAT consists of a set of commands programmed into the SIM card that defines how the SIM should interact directly with the outside environment and initiates commands independently from the phone and the network. This allows the SIM to build an interactive switch between a network application and users and to connect to or control the connection to the network. SIM also provides commands to the phone, such as an on-screen menu and user input requests.
    SAT has been used by several mobile operators around the world for various applications, often in cases where a menu-based application is required, such as in mobile banking services and content browsing. SAT has been created with the intention of being an environment for an individual application at a time and can be started in connection with the SIM card being started and is particularly suitable for low-level applications with simple user interfaces.
    The term value-added service (VAS) is a term in telecommunications which, in short, refers to all services in addition to voice telephony and fax transmission. As a concept, value-added services add value to the standardized service selection, which encourages the subscriber to use the mobile phone more, which in turn adds more revenue per subscriber to the operator.
    Value-added services are produced either by the mobile network operator or by a third party (Value-Added Service Provider, VASP), also known as a content producer or (Content CP). VASPs directly to the short message service center (SMSC) or, more often, to a service provider Provider, typically connect to a messaging gateway that allows the operator to more easily check and invoice the content.
    Theoretically, a SIM application can execute any command to the terminal specified in 11.14. In reality, however, the SIM card with the application must be plugged into a terminal that supports the commands in question.
    Services that can be downloaded to a SIM card may include function commands for the terminal. However, the SIM service system is not aware of whether the commands are supported by the terminal in which the SIM is inserted, and there is therefore a risk that non-functioning (or in any case not fully functioning) services will be downloaded to the SIM card.
    An earlier solution to the problem is to build a terminal support control into each SIM application, in which case the application takes a certain execution path if the terminal supports a given command from a downloaded service and another execution path if the terminal does not support the command in question. .
    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a method in a mobile telecommunications network for managing services. The services are used by applications in a module in mobile stations by means of an interface between the application and the terminal of the mobile station. In the method according to the invention, a mobile station requests a service from a service system in the network.
    The service system examines the mobile station's terminal properties and selects a service that works in the terminal with regard to the conditions examined. The mobile station then downloads the selected service.
    The invention also relates to a system carrying out the method of the invention.
    The advantageous embodiment of the invention is presented in the subclaims.
    Advantageously, the mobile telecommunications network consists of The Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and the module in the mobile station is a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM). Then the interface between the SIM and the terminal, through which the application uses the services, is the SIM Application Toolkit (SAT).
    In the invention, it is not necessary to build a terminal command support control in With a device-aware service system, a SIM service is installed only on SIM cards found in each SIM application, as the server is aware of this. terminal models that support all SAT commands in a specific service.
    Thus, the invention guarantees that the SIM service system has knowledge of which or which type of terminal SIM is in and its conditions with regard to SIM Toolkit 10 15 20 25 support. In order to determine which services will work on a particular SIM, the SIM service system must be aware of the following: 1. The terminal model the SIM is in. 2. The SAT support for the specific terminal. 3. SAT commands used in the current service.
    Information stored in the SIM about the current terminal model can be obtained, for example, as follows: 1. The information can be retrieved from the historical service database of the SIM service system. 2. the information can be obtained from the SIM at the time of download. 3. The information can be obtained by entering from SlM / the terminal user at the time of download.
    The first option can be used if the SIM service system has access to a subscriber database that keeps track of which terminal model the subscriber uses.
    The information can then be retrieved from there. In this scenario, the system joins this subscriber database.
    The second way of obtaining information about in which terminal model SlM is located can be performed by the SAT command provide / ocalinformation. The SIM service system can cause the SIM to execute the command and send the result of the command back to the system. The result contains the terminal's IMEI, which is a unique identification for the terminal model. This option thus requires the SIM service system to keep track of the relationship between IMEI numbers and terminal models.
    In accordance with the third alternative, the terminal owner may be asked to enter the terminal model, for example from a menu of different manufacturers and models, in connection with this using a service. However, this is not an option in cases where the user does not actively participate in the process, e.g. for automatic SIM service download.
    Information about the terminal's SAT support can 1. be obtained from a database or 2. retrieved from the subscriber in connection with service download.
    The first option can be used if the SIM service system is connected to a database that contains information about a terminal's SAT support. Then the information can be retrieved from there.
    It is also possible, in accordance with the second option, to persuade the SIM to make a "request" for its SAT support by executing the SAT command check terminal profile.
    The answer can be sent back to the SIM service system. It is important to realize that there may be a difference between the SAT support the terminal claims to have in the check terminal profile response and the terminal's actual support.
    The SIM service system must keep track of the service's use of SAT commands. The SAT support that each service requires can, for example, be specified in the service definition or alternatively, the SAT support can be examined by the system.
    An operator using a device-aware SIM service system can avoid installing SIM services that do not work entirely on the subscriber's SIM card and thus avoid subscribers experiencing inadequate SLM service menus. This is achieved through intelligent solutions on the server instead of complicated functions and requests on the terminal (SIM).
    The use of device-aware SIM service systems enables a subscriber base with SIM cards that contain service menus adapted to the terminals they are fed into. This means that a subscriber who changes terminal (eg buys a new one) may have a potentially incompetent SIM service menu after device replacement. The device-aware SIM service system should be able to receive a terminal change event to which the system can respond by, for example, updating the subscriber's SIM menu with services that work with the new terminal model.
    In the following, the invention is described by referring to some of the embodiments of the invention without limiting the invention to the details thereof.
    FIGURES Figure 1 is an overview of the environment in which the invention is applied Figure 2 is a signal diagram of a first embodiment of the invention Figure 3 is a signal diagram of a second embodiment of the invention DETAILED DESCRIPTION Figure 1 is an overview of the environment in which the invention is applied. A service system 5 offers and manages services for mobile stations 1 (only one is visible) in a mobile telecommunication network 4.
    The mobile stations 1 consist of two separate entities. The terminal part 2 consists of the physical equipment, such as the radio receiver, the monitor and processors for digital signals. A module 3 in the mobile station 1 contains subscriber information about identity, subscriptions, subscriber environment, radio environment and other information.
    When the mobile network is The Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), which in the example in Figure 1 is assumed to be, the module is called the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), which is implemented as a smart card.
    There is also a service application 9 in the said module 3, which performs functions against the terminal 2, which for example displays a text on the terminal or starts the browser 10 of the terminal 10, through an interface between the module 3 and the terminal 2. In GSM this interface can vara SIM (application) too / kit 10.
    The innovative part of the system is that the system 5 includes software tools for reviewing the conditions in the mobile station 1's terminal 2 requesting a service from the service system 5, and tools for selecting a service operating in the terminal 2 with the reviewed conditions.
    In order for the service system 5 to be able to check which terminal model a subscriber uses, this has access to a database 6 which keeps track of which terminal model a subscriber uses and the information can be retrieved from the database 6, which in this text is called terminal database.
    Another way to obtain information about which terminal model SIM is currently being entered into is to ask the subscriber about it.
    If the SIM service system 5 is connected to a database 7 which contains information about the properties of terminal models in terms of its ability to handle SAT commands, information about which commands the subscriber's terminal model supports can be retrieved from this, which in this text is called the properties property database.
    If the SIM service system 5 is connected to a database 8, which contains information about the SAT support needed for the use of certain services, information about commands needed in the interaction can be retrieved from this, which in this text is called a service database.
    Figure 2 is a signal diagram of the first embodiment of the invention. It is assumed that this embodiment takes place in the environment according to figure 1 which comprises, the mobile station 1, the terminal part 2, SIM 3, the service application 9 in said module 3, which performs functions towards the terminal 2 by means of SIM (application) too / kit 10 interface between module 3 and terminal 2. The network 4 is assumed to be a GSM network. Furthermore, this embodiment uses the property database 7 and the service database 8. At this stage, a user wants to use a service and logs in to a website that forms an interface for a service management application maintained by a service system. The login is represented by signal 1 in figure 2. Signal 1 also contains information about the terminal model the user uses.
    Signal 2 is a request to the service system's server, in which the web application asks the service system about available services that can be used by the user's terminal model.
    The service system needs to know the SAT support in the user's terminal model and requests this information in signal 3 to the prerequisite database. The information is given in signal 4.
    The service system then examines from the service database (described in Figure 1) in signal 5 what SAT support is needed in the service requested by the user, i.e. the service system examines the command support required in the current service. Signal 6 provides the service system with the requested information by informing which commands are required.
    In step 7, the service system combines the SAT support in the user's terminal model with the SIM services (services that can be used by SIM through the SIM Application Toolkit SAT interface) and selects the services that can be used.
    In signals 8 and 9, the service system informs the user about the available services through the service management web application (indicated by arrow 9).
    In step 10, the user uses the web application to select a service installed on the SIM card in the user's mobile station (signal 11). The user can now use the service.
    Figure 3 is a signal diagram of the second embodiment of the invention. It is assumed that this embodiment takes place in the environment, in accordance with Figure 1, which comprises, the mobile station 1, the terminal part 2, SIM 3, the service application 9 in said module 3, which performs functions towards the terminal 2 by means of S / M (application) too / kit 10 interface between 10 15 20 25 30 10 module 3 and terminal 2. The network 4 is assumed to be the GSM network. Furthermore, this embodiment uses the service database 8.
    At this stage, the user wants to use services and therefore logs in to a website that forms an interface for a service management application that is maintained by a service system. The login is represented by signal 1 in Figure 3.
    Signal 2 is a request to the service system's server, in which the web application requests information about available services that could be used by the user's terminal model as informed in signal 1.
    The SAT command check terminal profile, to the user's SIM application in signal 3 about what kind of SAT support the service system then executes a request, using (the terminal's properties / conditions) the user's terminal has. The SIM application asks the terminal for its SAT support by executing the SAT command check terminal profile (not shown) and then sends the information to the service system in signal 4.
    The service system then examines from the service database (described in Figure 1), in signal 5, what kind of SAT support is needed in the service requested by the user, i.e. the service system examines which commands are required in said service. Signal 6 informs the service system of the required commands.
    In step 7, the service system pairs the SAT support in the user's terminal model with SIM services (services that can be used by SIM using the SIM Application Toolkit SAT interface) and selects the services that can be used by the user's terminal.
    In signals 8 and 9, the service system informs the user about which services are available by making them selectable in the web application for service management (indicated by arrow 9). In step 10, the user uses the web application to select a service installed on the SIM card of the user's mobile station (signed 11). The user can now use the service.
