Abstract

A method of providing LBS (Location-Based Services) in a mobile communication system is provided. A Mobile Station (MS) entering an incoming call rejection service area is precluded from receiving incoming calls. When a call connection to the MS is requested, the call connection is blocked from the MS, and a call connection unavailable message is transmitted to a calling MS.

Claims

1. A method of providing location-based services (LBS) in a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of:

registering a mobile station (MS) entering an incoming call rejection service area; and

blocking a call to the MS, when a call connection to the MS is requested, and transmitting a call connection unavailable message to a calling MS.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising informing the MS that incoming calls are rejected for the MS.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising connecting an emergency call to the MS when the calling MS requests the emergency call to the MS after transmitting the call connection unavailable message.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting details of the incoming call to the MS, when the call connection unavailable message is transmitted.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising buffering details of the incoming call, when the call connection unavailable message is transmitted.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising ending an incoming call rejection service and transmitting the details of the incoming call to the MS, when the MS is out of the incoming call rejection service area.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising terminating an incoming call rejection service, when the MS is out of the incoming call rejection service area.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising notifying the calling MS of the termination of the incoming call rejection service, when the incoming call rejection service is terminated.

9. The method of claim 7, further comprising notifying the MS of the termination of the incoming call rejection service, when the incoming call rejection service is ended.

10. A method of providing location-based services (LBS) in a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of:

registering a mobile station (MS) entering an incoming call rejection service area during a service time period; and

blocking a call for the MS, when a call connection to the MS is requested, and transmitting a call connection unavailable message to a calling MS.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising informing the MS that incoming calls are rejected for the MS.

12. The method of claim 10, further comprising connecting an emergency call to the MS, when the calling MS requests the emergency call with the MS after transmitting the call connection unavailable message.

13. The method of claim 10, further comprising transmitting details of the incoming call to the MS, when the call connection unavailable message is transmitted.

14. The method of claim 10, further comprising buffering details of the incoming call, when the call connection unavailable message is transmitted.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising terminating an incoming call rejection service and transmitting the details of the incoming call to the MS, when the MS is out of the set incoming call rejection service area.

16. The method of claim 10, further comprising terminating an incoming call rejection service, when the MS is out of the incoming call rejection service area or the service time period expires.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising notifying the calling MS of the termination of the incoming call rejection service, when the incoming call rejection service is terminated.

18. The method of claim 16, further comprising notifying the MS of the termination of the incoming call rejection service, when the incoming call rejection service is terminated.

19. A method of providing a call rejection service in a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of:

blocking a call for a registered mobile station (MS) in a call rejection service area; and

transmitting a call connection unavailable message to a calling MS.

20. A method of providing a call rejection service in a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of:

blocking a call for a registered mobile station (MS) in a call rejection service area during a service time period; and

transmitting a call connection unavailable message to a calling MS.
