`
`This invention relates to a software downloading device for telecommunications
`terminal, such as mobile radiophone for cellular network, cordless phone or fixed
`terminal in an integrated services digital network. These terminals have some char-
`acteristics in common: microprocessor which performs the main functions required
`for their operation.
`The software program executed by each of these terminals must be able to evolve
`with time in order to: either correct software anomalies, improve the terminal opera-
`tion, provide new services to subscribers, follow the changes made to telecommuni-
`cation network technical specifications, or be matched to various networks where
`different software programs need to be executed, when a terminal is moved to another
`country for instance.
`Significant difficulties are encountered when changing the software program cx-
`10 ecuted by a terminal. The software is typically stored in n ROM. To change a soft-
`ware program it is necessary to return the terminals to a Company branch for
`replacement of some of the terminal's components. Therefore, each terminal is una-
`vailable to the user for a certain period of time. These operations are therefore costly
`to the network operator. The purpose of the invention is to propose a device elimi-
`nating these drawbacks.
`In accordance with the invention, n software downloading device for telecom-
`munication terminal connected to a telecomi munication network via a conventional
`interface, called network connection interface, the said terminal being fitted with a
`microprocessor which controls the operation of the said terminal by executing a soft-
`ware program, called operating software, is characterised in that it is fitted with:
`program to a RAM.
`The device thus featured makes it possible to change the operating software of
`a telecommunication terminal, each time new software is required for the reasons
`listed above. Device and downloading costs are minimal, it is therefore possible to
`use it for terminals sold in very large quantities.
`Preferably, the downloading interface is made up of the conventional interface
`connecting the terminal to the telecommunication network, the software to be down-
`loaded being forwarded by the said network via the conventional interface.
`The device thus featured has the advantage of being quite simple, since there is
`no need to add another interface.
`Preferably, the downloading interface is made up of an interface dedicated to
`downloading, the software to be downloaded being forwarded by means other than

`
`the conventional means used to forward information to the terminal. The device thus
`featured has the advantage of providing for software downloading entirely inde-
`pendent from the telecommunication network to which the terminal is usually con-
`nected, this eliminates any constraint imposed by the latter, such as limitation of the
`flow of information transmitted for downloading, or occupancy of a network trans-
`mission channel during all the time required for software downloading.
`Preferably, the device includes several RAMs, and is fitted with some means of
`write-selecting one of these RAMs, to download a different software program in each
`of these RAMs, and read-selecting one of these RAMs, to execute one of these soft-
`ware programs in the microprocessor.
`The device thus featured makes it possible to change the operating software
`without having to download each time. Matching a radiophone or cordless phone to
`a network change is therefore simplified. Matching consists only of selecting one of
`Sthe memories, if the software corresponding to the area in which the terminal is lo-
`cated had already been downloaded.
`In order that the invention may be readily carried into effect, embodiments
`thereof will now be described in relation to the accompanying drawings, in which:
`Figures 1 to 3 respectively represent the block diagrams of three examples of
`15I radiophone, respectively including three examples of implementation of the device in
`accordance with the invention.
`Figures 4 and 5 respectively represent the block diagrams of two examples of
`fixed terminals in an integrated services digital network, respectively including two
`examples of implementation of the device in accordance with the invention.
`shown in Figure I is fitted with: a first RAM
`a second RAM
`Radiophone
`a ROM

`and a radio

`All these devices are interconnected via a bus. Radiophone
`interface
`connected to a radiotelephone network
`Radio
`by radio to a base station
`is a conventional interface enabling the radiophone to communicate with
`interface
`but it is also used to download an operating software program into
`base station
`Downloading operations are performed by
`one of the two RAMS
`and
`by executing the downloading software stored in ROM
`microprocessor
`Since two RAMs (1 and 2) are available, it is possible to store two different
`software programs which may, for instance, correspond to the current applicable
`software and to another which will replace the previous one at a set date. Or the two

`
`software programs correspond to two different network types, operating in different
`countries.
`Of course, this example is not limiting, as it is possible to provide for a larger
`number of RAMs if more than two different software programs need to be used due
`to network variety.
`some means are pro-
`being fitted with several RAMs (1 and
`S Radiophone
`vided to write-select one of these RAMs in order to download a different software
`program in each of them, other means are provided to read-select one of the sc RAMs
`in order to run only one of the software programs.
`The means used to write-select one of these RAMs consist mainly of a micro-
`or
`the downloading software stored in ROM
`controlled either by:
`processor
`by a module provided in each operating software.
`When no operating software is loaded in the RAMs, write-select is controlled by
`microprocessor
`in accordance with the downloading software instructions. Fur-
`thermore, the downloading software supplies some instructions to allow the
`radiophone to set-up a radio link, then download a software program via this link.
`The downloading software program is called into execution either by a message
`or by a user's command entered from the keypad integrated
`supplied by network
`not shown.
`to the radiophone
`Selection of the software to be run for normal operation, ie. read-selection of one
`or by a
`of the two RAMs, is controlled cither by a message sent by network
`command issued by the user.
`Each operating software includes a module to acknowledge: a message from
`or a user's command, and the identity of the software eventually stored
`network
`in RAMs
`and
`in order to determine which RAM must be read or write se-
`lected.
`The radio interface, defined by the Group Special Mobile of the Conference
`Europeenne des Telecommunications, provides for data transmission channels be-
`tween the network and mobile radiophones for a point-to-point transmission or gen-
`eral broadcast. These chnnels admit a bit rate of up to 9.6 kbits per second.
`General broadcast can be used to simultaneously update the software in an en-
`tire fleet of radiophones. Conversely, point-to-point transmission can be used to
`download in a specific radiophone entering an area serviced by a network requiring
`execution of an operating software not yet stored in one of the radiophone RAMs.

`
`Downloading is started upon the initiative of the network, after analysis of a
`parameter, called "Classmark Update", contained in a message, called "Loc Upd Re-
`quest", sent by the mobile radiophone to initialise a localisation procedure when it
`enters a new zone. This parameter indicates the radiophone version. It also indicates
`whether this radiophone is downloadable and which type of downloading it is likely
`to accept: partial, for certain functions, or total, for all functions except localisation
`and downloading. Network
`starts downloading by sending to radiophone
`a
`radio message interpreted by microprocessor
`by executing the appropriate module
`of the operating software which is being executed at the moment under consideration.
`Once downloading is completed, the localisation procedure is finished. The
`radiophone is then in possession of all the information required to operate in the new
`zone.
`1 Downloading software production is within the capabilities of the man skilled in
`the art. The section designed to download to the RAMs is similar to the bootstrap
`software used to load a software diskette into the main memory of a computer. The
`section designed to set-up a radio link is a simplified version of a conventional soft-
`ware controlling the operation of a radiophone.
`This first ,ariant of a device in accordance with the invention has the advantage
`15 of being simple and inexpensive, since the radiophone needs only be fitted with at
`least one RAM and one ROM storing the downloading software, without additional
`interface with regard to a conventional radiophone. Several terminals can be down-
`loaded simultaneously, allowing part or all of the terminals in the radiotelephone
`netwoik to be updated in a single operation. It is therefore easy to distribute software
`upgrades or to entirely replace the software.
`Figure 2 represents the block diagram of radiophone (10) fitted with a second
`example of implementation of the device in accordance with the invention.
`Radiophone (10) is fitted with: two RAMs (11) and
`a ROM (13) storing the
`downloading software, a microprocessor
`a standard radio interface
`a smart
`card reader interface
`and a smart card reader
`Devices (11) and (16) are
`interconnected via a bus.
`The downloading interface is a dedicated interface, independent of radio inter-
`face
`and made up of smart card reader interface
`With this variant it is
`possible to download the software independently from the radiotelephone network,
`which offers the advantage of not being subjected to network constraints. Moreover,
`software downloaded by card is simpler than software downloaded by radio link,

`since radio link set up involves a complex procedure. Downloading is user-controlled
`the user must first insert a smart card
`via a keypad integrated to radiophone
`Write-selection of one of the two RAMs (11 or 12) is
`(18) in smart card reader
`user-controlled from the keypad. Read-selection of one of the two RAMs is con-
`trolled either by the user, or by a module of the operating software, currently being
`when entering a new zone for in-
`executed, as described above for radiophone
`stance.
`It is possible to produce a downloading software whereby software can be alter-
`or by
`as described for radiophone
`nately downloaded by radio interface
`smart card reader (17) as described above for radiophone
`The smart card (18) is sent to the users by the network operator, either by mail
`or via a distribution network such as company branches, or ordinary shops. It should
`.o1,
`0
`o0,o 10 be noted that the smart card reader can be replaced with a magnetic card reader.
`Figure 3 represents the block diagram of radiophone (20) including a third ex-
`ample of implementation of the device in accordance with the invention. It is fitted
`with: two RAMs (21 and 22), one memory (23) storing the downloading software, one
`one standard radio interface (25) and one interface (26) for
`microprocessor
`Radiophone (20) sets up a
`connection to a standard port of the ISDN network
`The
`connected to radiotelephone network
`radio link with a base station
`latter is connected to the ISDN network
`Devices (21) to (26) are interconnected
`via a bus. Radio interface (25) can set up a radio link with base station (59) for
`telephone signal transmission, but software downloading is carried out via a cable
`This cable
`temporarily connecting interface (26) to a standard port of network
`is fitted with a standard jack (27) which can be plugged into a standard socket (28)
`connected to network (57).
`When the user wants to download the software in radiophone
`he first plugs
`then he write-selects one of the
`in the cable connecting interface (26) to network
`two RAMs (21 or 22) via the keypad. Read-selection of one of the two RAMs (21
`or 22) is carried out similarly to that described for radiophone
`This variant has the advantage of using a software transmission device more
`easily available than a smart card, in so far as the number of network (57) ports is
`very high.

`respectively store two different operating software programs, written via download-
`ing, one ROM (33) for permanent storage of the downloading software, one micro-
`and one ISDN network connection interface (35) which is also an
`processor
`operating software downloading interface.
`Interface (35) is permanently connected to a standard port of ISDN network
`(38) via a cable fitted with a standard jack (36) plugged into a standard socket con-
`The advantage of this variant is that the operating software

`dedicated interface.
`Each standard port (37) includes a channel called user to user signalling channel,
`and several channels for the actual transmission, forwarding voice signals for in-
`stance. Software downloading can occur via any one of these two types of channels,
`0.o o 10 or by combining both. The transmission channel being used to transmit the software
`to be downloaded, and the signalling channel being used to initialise and end down-
`o
`loading.
`Downloading to one of the RAMs (31 or 32) is initiated either by the user via a
`keypad, or by the operating software being executed, when it receives the download
`Each operating software program includes a module
`command from network
`to acknowledge: a user's command or a network (38) command. Read or write-
`in accordance
`selection of one of these two RAMs is controlled by microprocessor
`with the instructions from the downloading software and the commands issued either
`by the user or the network.
`Downloading a new oprating softwarc or switching from an old software to a
`new one can be totally remote-controlled by the network (38) operator, without user
`intervention.
`Figure 5 represents the block diagram of another example of fixed terminal
`this terminal being fitted with a downloading device in ac-
`for ISDN network
`cordance with the second variant. Terminal (40) is fitted with: two RAMs (41 and
`42) to respectively store two different operating software programs which are down-
`loaded, one ROM (43) for permanent storage of the downloading software, one
`one smart card reader
`one ISDN connection interface
`microprocessor
`Devices (41) to (46) are interconnected

`It is possible to design a downloading software whereby downloading may occur
`alternately via network (51) or card
`depending on the circumstances. Reader

`The scope of the invention is not limited to the examples described above. It can
`be applied to any other telecommunications terminal fitted with a microprocessor, in
`so far as the complexity of its software and its evolution in time justify that this soft-
`ware be changed occasionally.

`

`This invention relates to a software downloading device for telecommunications
`terminal, such as mobile radiophone for cellular network, cordless phone or fixed
`terminal in an integrated services digital network. These terminals have some char-
`acteristics in common: microprocessor which performs the main functions required
`for their operation.
`The software program executed by each of these terminals must be able to evolve
`with time in order to: either correct software anomalies, improve the terminal opera-
`tion, provide new services to subscribers, follow the changes made to telecommuni-
`cation network technical specifications, or be matched to various networks where
`different software programs need to be executed, when a terminal is moved to another
`country for instance.
`Significant difficulties are encountered when changing the software program cx-
`10 ecuted by a terminal. The software is typically stored in n ROM. To change a soft-
`ware program it is necessary to return the terminals to a Company branch for
`replacement of some of the terminal's components. Therefore, each terminal is una-
`vailable to the user for a certain period of time. These operations are therefore costly
`to the network operator. The purpose of the invention is to propose a device elimi-
`nating these drawbacks.
`In accordance with the invention, n software downloading device for telecom-
`munication terminal connected to a telecomi munication network via a conventional
`interface, called network connection interface, the said terminal being fitted with a
`microprocessor which controls the operation of the said terminal by executing a soft-
`ware program, called operating software, is characterised in that it is fitted with
