Abstract

L'invention se rapporte au domaine des services mobiles, et concerne notamment des procédés et des systèmes d'agrégation de services mobiles et de fourniture de ces derniers à des utilisateurs finaux. Le résultat technique est la possibilité d'effectuer une agrégation de services de divers fournisseurs de services qui peuvent créer de nouveaux services sans particulièrement connaître les technologies mobiles, ce qui permet de simplifier le lancement de nouveaux services. A cette fin, on reçoit une demande de service effectuée via un réseau CALR, le réseau Internet ou un réseau téléphonique commuté public, on analyse la demande et on transmet des données concernant celle-ci vers un dispositif du fournisseur de service, on effectue une adaptation réciproque des formats utilisés par le dispositif du fournisseur de services et des formats servant à la fourniture des services mobiles. On fournit les services demandés à l'utilisateur via les réseaux CALR, SS7 et Internet. Ce système comprend des réseaux CALR connectés à une infrastructure et entre eux, une unité de réception des demandes afin de recevoir les demandes selon un protocole SMPP, MAP ou ISUP, et une unité d'agrégation afin de fournir les services aux utilisateurs. L'unité de réception de demandes est connectée au réseau Internet ou à un à réseau téléphonique commuté public, tandis que l'unité d'agrégation est connectée à l'unité de réception de demandes par des dispositifs du fournisseur de services et un module de fourniture de services.
