- every GSM terminal is equipped with a SIM card reader, according to the GSM specifications.
- U.S. mobile telephone terminals are modified to include a SIM card reader or other type of module card reader, it is contemplated that the present invention would be used in U.S.
- SIM card or "SUM card” as used in this description will mean this type of hardware.
- suitable software is provided inside the mobile telephone terminal and
- SUM Software Upgrading Module
- the particular upgrading software included in the SUM card is defined based on the need for upgrading the memory in this GSM terminal. That is, some or all of the controlling software in the mobile telephone may be replaced due to corrections and/or updates.
- upgrading is used herein to refer to providing new software to the mobile telephone, whether that software relates to changes or corrections to, existing software or to software providing new features or adding access to new functions.
- SUM is a new terminology, defined in this document.
- SUM is an acronym for "Software Upgrading Module".
- the SUM card has the same physical dimensions as a SIM card, currently known in the GSM system. But internally the SIM card and the SUM card are two quite different devices.
- the SUM card includes only memory, preferably a ROM, though other memories may be used, which can be read by the computer in the cellular telephone terminal or mobile telephone.
- the SUM may also include a microprocessor and/or a battery or other power source.
- the memory data in the SUM card may consist of different types of data. In the same SUM card, one, some or all of the following types of data may be stored:
- any subscriber would be able to upgrade his mobile cellular telephone terminal by using this upgrading SUM card.
- the manufacturer of such mobile telephones or the company responsible for service or upgrading can distribute any type of upgrading software by mail. This will provide better service to subscribers and lower cost than existing techniques.
- Fig. 1A illustrates, in block diagram form, a mobile telephone terminal 1.
- the telephone 1 includes CPU 10 for controlling functions of the mobile telephone, a display 5 for displaying information to the user and a transceiver 12 for sending and receiving telephone communications.
- a main memory 15 is provided for storing programs used by the mobile telephone.
- Mobile telephone 1 also includes a module reader 20 which can read a SIM card, a SUM card 22 according to the present invention, or other removable memory elements.
- SUM card 22 includes only a memory 15' for storing the upgrading software.
- the SUM card according to the present invention will have the same dimensions as currently known GSM SIM cards.
- a backup memory 18 may be provided to reduce the risks of malfunctions or errors due to changing software.
- the backup memory can be arranged for the entire contents of memory 15 or any part thereof.
- the backup memory 18 may be a separate memory unit as shown in Fig. 1A, or it may be a separate backup area provided in the memory 15 (not shown). In this area, only verified versions of the different information blocks will be written. If a malfunction or error takes place in the normal memory area, for example, as a result of an incorrect transmission from the SUM card, the information in the backup memory 18 will override the false information. This will be supervised by an error routine provided in the mobile telephone for handling malfunctions.
- the backup memory may be of any type.
- the memory is a flash memory or EEPROM or another similar non-volatile memory.
- the memory may consist of one or more memory elements, for example, IC circuits.
- Fig. IB is a block diagram of a SUM card 22' according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- a more "intelligent" SUM card 22' is provided which consists of a memory and a microprocessor and/or an optional battery, which card is in the same physical shape as currently known SIM cards.
- the microprocessor (CPU 225) can perform the functions of verifying that upgrading is being done for the correct mobile telephone and increasing the reliability of the transfer of data into the mobile telephone from the SUM card.
- the first function of verifying that the correct telephone is being upgraded involves a hand-shaking procedure, with or without encryption, between the microprocessor (CPU 10) in the telephone and the CPU 225 on the SUM card 22'. Only after the hand-shaking procedure is completed and the CPU 225 is satisfied that the correct telephone is being updated, does the procedure for upgrading, described in Fig. 3, begin.
- the hand-shaking could involve, for example, the checking of the telephone identification number stored in the memory 15 of the telephone against an identification number stored in the memory 15' at the time the SUM card 22' is sent to the user.
- the second function of increasing reliability of the transfer of data can be implemented by programming the program executed by the telephone CPU 10 to repeat the information received from the SUM card 22' back to the SUM card 22'.
- the CPU 225 in the SUM card 22' can then be used to check that correct data is transferred into the telephone by comparing the data received from the telephone with the data stored in the SUM memory 15'. In the case of an error, the CPU 225 in the SUM card 22' can order a new data transfer. The implementation of this operation will decrease the need for the backup memory 18 in the telephone.
- the SUM card 22' may also include a power source 230.
- this power source consists of a battery.
- the battery is not necessary to power the CPU 225 in the SUM card 22' because the CPU 225 can be powered from the telephone in all normal modes of operation.
- a real time clock 228 can be included, for example, to give the information in the SUM card 22' a limited lifetime.
- Fig. 2 A illustrates one way to organize the memory 15 in the mobile telephone according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is understood that this is not the only way that such memory may be organized to accomplish the present invention, but is shown for exemplary purposes only.
- the memory 15 includes a boot area 25 which must not be altered or changed by the control software. This boot area is used to start the functions of the mobile telephone 1.
- the signaling area 30 stores information relating to the signaling carried out between the mobile telephone and the base stations in the mobile telephone network.
- the features and functions information area 35 stores information relating to the functions and features provided in the particular mobile telephone including those functions and features provided currently and those which may be provided in the future.
- the empty area 40 is provided for expandability of the features and functions of the mobile telephone.
- the functions and features stored in the features information area 35 in the future may include, for example, voice activated dialing (NAD); hands free functions, either duplex or simplex (HF); data transmission including receiving and/or transmitting and vice versa;
- NAD voice activated dialing
- HF simplex
- data transmission including receiving and/or transmitting and vice versa;
- Fig. 2B illustrates one way to organize the SUM card memory 15'. It is understood that this is not the only way that such memory may be organized to accomplish the prevent invention, but is shown for exemplary purposes only.
- the memory 15' includes an identification area 26 which stores information relating to the identification of the card as a SUM card valid for upgrading purposes.
- the signalling information area 30' and features and functions information area 35' store signalling and feature and function information to be transmitted to the corresponding areas 30 and 35 of memory 15.
- Fig. 3 illustrates an exemplary software routine provided in the mobile telephone for performing the upgrading of the memory in the mobile telephone according to preferred embodiments of the present invention. It is believed that the detailed programming of the software routine provided within the mobile telephone memory is within the skill of the ordinary artisan once in possession of this disclosure. This software routine is stored in memory 15 and is executed by CPU 10.
- the subscriber inserts the temporary upgrading SUM card 22, 22' into the module card reader 20.
- the CPU 10 begins execution of the software routine shown in Fig. 3.
- step 50 it is detected whether a module card of some type has been inserted by the user.
- step 55 it is detected whether the module card is a standard GSM SIM card for validating the subscription and authenticating the subscriber. If so, step 60 activates normal GSM network activities. If the module card installed is not a standard GSM SIM card, it is determined whether the module card is valid for upgrading purposes from the information stored in identification area 26 (step 65). If the card installed is not valid for upgrading purposes, the error routine "if malfunction" to handle malfunctions is activated in step 70. The error routine signals the malfunction, provides the appropriate text in the display 5 and re-sets the telephone. Other functions appropriate to the error routine could also be performed as desired.
- steps 55 and 65 may be performed in a number of ways.
- the CPU 10 may assume that the module card detected is a SIM card. When attempting to contact the card, the CPU 10 will get no usable information from the card if the assumption is incorrect and the card is in fact a SUM card. So the test at step 55 will return a "no". The CPU 10 will then assume that the card is a valid SUM card.
- the CPU 10 when reading identification data in the SUM memory 15', the CPU 10 will get data to compare with data in the memory 15 of the telephone. If the data from the card is found in a list of allowed data, the SUM card is valid for upgrading purposes. If not, the card is not a valid SUM card.
- the list of allowed identification data can be altered by upgrading the telephone memory in accordance with the methods and apparatus disclosed herein.
- the upgrading functions would be displayed on the display 5 at step 75.
- SUM card information which indicates that the software in the mobile terminal is to be changed, for example, for providing solutions to software bugs, it is displayed on display 5 that "all software shall be altered" at step 80.
- the routine then changes all the software in the mobile terminal except that in the boot area in step 85 from information provided in the upgrading software stored in the SUM card.
- step 90 If the answer at step 80 is no, it is detected at step 90 whether new features are to be installed in the mobile telephone. If so, the appropriate display is presented on the mobile telephone in display 5, and control proceeds to step 95. At step 95, the new features are installed in the mobile terminal from information provided in the upgrading software stored in the SUM card.
- step 100 it is detected at step 100 whether new functions are to be opened in the mobile telephone.
- new functions are to be opened in the mobile telephone.
- the SUM card could be used according to this embodiment to provide the password to the mobile terminal which would allow the user to access the previously installed functions.
- the new functions would be open at the mobile terminal.
- the error checking routine checks the check sum and function test of the mobile terminal.
- the error checking routine at step 110 is used to determine whether any errors in transmission have been made in the data transmitted from the SUM card. This can be done for example, by the CPU 225 confirming data it receives from CPU 10 against data stored in memory 15'. Alternatively, the CPU 10 can check for errors itself. If errors are detected, the backup memory described above is used since the backup memory includes only verified copies of the verified versions of the different information blocks in the memory. This routine overrides the information in the normal memory area with the information in the backup area. In particular, if an error is detected, control passes to step 115 at which point the error "if , malfunction" routine is entered. This error routine signals the malfunction by providing the appropriate text in the display 5 and re-sets the mobile telephone.
- the mobile telephone is ready for use.
