Procedure for transfer and handling of network-controlled functional data between a client and a server

Abstract

The invention relates to a procedure for transmission of control data between a terminal for telecommunication via a telecommunication network and a server connected with the telecommunication network for control of a service administered by the telecommunication network, in which the telecommunication network provides a special function to a data object, whereby one data base each is assigned to the terminal and the server, in which the telecommunication network makes a special function available to a data object, whereby one data base each is assigned to the terminal and the server, and whereby the transmission occurs by a parameter value for activation, deactivation or change of the service being assigned at first to at least one control parameter assigned to the data object, and the data object together with the control parameter is stored in one of the two data bases, whereby this data base is then synchronized with the other data base.

       16 . A procedure for transmission of control data between a terminal for telecommunication via a telecommunication network and a server connected to the telecommunication network for control of a service administered by the telecommunication network, in which the telecommunication network provides a special function to a data object, and wherein a first data base each is assigned to said terminal and a second database is assigned to said server, and whereby said transmission of control data occurs by a parameter value for activation, deactivation or change of said service being allocated initially to at least one control parameter assigned to said data object, and said data object together with said control parameter are stored in one of the two data bases, and further wherein said first and second databases are synchronized. 
   
   
       17 . The procedure according to claim  1 , wherein the control parameter is a status parameter, to which the communication terminal allocates a parameter value if the service is to be activated, deactivated or changed for the data object. 
   
   
       18 . The procedure according to claim  1 , wherein in the case of an activation of the service for the data object, multiple parameter values are allocated to the control parameters assigned to the data object which are transferred via the synchronization to said first and second data bases. 
   
   
       19 . The procedure according to claim  2 , wherein in the case of an activation of the service for the data object, multiple parameter values are allocated to the control parameters assigned to the data object and these are transferred via the synchronization to said first and second data bases. 
   
   
       20 . The procedure according to claim  3 , wherein said parameter values are allocated by the terminal to the control parameter or the control parameters, and the data object, together with the changed parameter or parameters are stored in the first data base assigned to the terminal, wherein after said storage, said terminal initiates a synchronization of said first data base with the second data base assigned to the server, for transmission of control data of the control parameters to the server. 
   
   
       21 . The procedure according to claim  4 , wherein said parameter values are allocated by the terminal to the control parameter or the control parameters, and the data object, together with the changed parameter or parameters are stored in the first data base assigned to the terminal, and further wherein after the storage, the terminal initiates a synchronization of said first data base with the second data base assigned to the server, for transmission of control data of the control parameters to the server. 
   
   
       22 . The procedure according to claim  5 , wherein the data object then is checked by at least one server of the telecommunication network to determine whether the service for the data object can be activated, deactivated or changed. 
   
   
       23 . The procedure according to claim  6 , wherein the capacity for activation, deactivation or change of the service is checked on the basis of pre-set rules, whereby allowance is made of for how many data objects of the first data base the service is already active, and whether the number of these data objects would exceed a pre-set maximum number if an activation is made for the new data object or whether a certain time has passed since the time of the last change of a data object or of another data object for which the service is active. 
   
   
       24 . The procedure according to claim  5 , wherein the server activates the service for the data object to which status parameters of a parameter value indicating the active status are assigned, and stores the data object in the second data base with the new status parameter. 
   
   
       25 . The procedure according to claim  6 , wherein the server activates the service for the data object to which status parameters of a parameter value indicating the active status are assigned, and stores the data object in the second data base with the new status parameter. 
   
   
       26 . The procedure according to claim  7 , wherein the data object with the changed status parameter is transferred to the communication terminal via synchronization of the second data base with the first data base, and the original data object is replaced by the new data object in the first data base. 
   
   
       27 . The procedure according to claim  6 , wherein a synchronization link is maintained between the two data bases during the check. 
   
   
       28 . The procedure according to claim  7 , wherein at least one parameter value is assigned to at least one control parameter by the server, and said data object together with at least one altered parameter is stored in the data base assigned to the server, and further wherein after said storage, said server synchronizes said second data base with the data base assigned to the terminal for transmission of control data of the control parameters to the terminal. 
   
   
       29 . The procedure according to claim  12 , wherein the server transmits information regarding the activation, deactivation or change of the service to the terminal. 
   
   
       30 . The procedure according to claim  12 , wherein the server deactivates the service for the data object, assigns a parameter value indicating the inactive status to the control parameter, and stores the data object in the second data base with the new control parameter value. 
   
   
       31 . The procedure according to claim  12 , wherein the data object with the changed control parameter is transferred to the communication terminal via synchronization of the second data base with the first data base, and the original data object is replace by the new data object in the first data base. 
   
   
       32 . The procedure according to claim  12 , wherein the terminal assigns a parameter value to the status parameter that designates a waiting status, and further wherein upon the next synchronization of the data bases, the data object is again checked regarding the service can be activated for said data object. 
   
   
       33 . The procedure according to claim  12 , wherein said server transmits said at least one data object, or control parameter for at least one said data object to at least one additional server, which administers said service.
