Personalization of telecommunications services
First Claim
1. A method for personalizing a service in a telecommunications system, the method comprising at least the steps of maintaining a parameter list for a service, the list comprising parameters associated with the service, further comprising the steps of maintaining a value on at least two different levels for at least a first parameter, the first level being more individualizing than the second level;
- and maintaining at least two service data profiles for the service, the profiles both comprising definitions of the levels for the parameters and the profiles differing from one another at least in that in the first service data profile the first parameter value is on the first level, whereas in the second service data profile it is on the second level.

Abstract
A method for personalizing services in a mobile communications system, the services being used on the basis of a parameter list (pam-1, pam-N) and a service data profile (1-1, 1-2, 1-3, N-1, N-2). The parameter list comprises the parameters needed for providing a service. The service data profile defines levels for the parameters in the parameter list, the parameter values being re-trieved from the levels when the service is being used. The levels include, for example, global (gl), service-specific (se) and subscriber-specific (su) levels. The service data profiles of a particular service differ from one another accord-ing to the level on which the parameter values have been defined.

19. A network node for providing a service in a telecommunications system in which a list of the parameters for the service is maintained, wherein for providing the service to the subscriber, the network node comprises:
- a first routine to find out in the subscriber data of the system which one of the service data profiles of the service has been subscribed to, the service data profiles comprising definitions of the levels for the parameters and the profiles differing from one another in relation to at least one parameter level definition; and
a second routine for retrieving the parameter values from the levels based on the definitions in the service data profile. - View Dependent Claims (20)
