Description

A method for receiving instant messages

technical field

The invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to a method for receiving instant messages.

Background technique

Instant Messaging and Presence Service (IMPS) belongs to a person-to-person and person-to-group messaging mobile data service based on presence information (Presence), which is researched and provided by the IMPS working group of the International Standards Organization OMA (Open Mobile Alliance) Application frameworks and specifications. When users use IMPS services, they can be either active initiators or passive receivers of communications. As the active initiator of communication, users can perform operations such as sending instant messages, updating presence information, subscribing to presence information, initiating group conversations, and creating shared content. As a passive recipient of communication, under the command and control of the IMPS server and the cooperation of the mobile terminal, the user can perform operations such as receiving instant messages, obtaining presence information, receiving group session invitations, and so on.

In the current mobile instant message service system, whether the user is the active initiator of communication or the passive receiver of communication, the user is required to be a registered user of the IMPS service. If the user is not a registered user of the IMPS service, obviously he cannot use For IMPS services, it is not allowed to actively initiate IMPS communication and receive IMPS messages initiated by others.

Moreover, the user must be logged in online as the active initiator of communication. If the user is a registered user of the IMPS service but is not currently logged in, that is, in an offline state, it is obviously impossible to actively initiate IMPS communication.

If the user is a passive receiver of communication, if the user is a registered user of the IMPS service but is not currently logged in, that is, in an offline state, when there is an unreceived instant message that needs to be received by the user, the current processing methods in the prior art are as follows: Two types: one is the store-and-forward mode, that is, the IMPS Server first checks whether the receiving user is offline at this time, and if it is online, it will send the instant message to the receiving terminal normally; if it is offline, it will not Forward the instant message to the receiving terminal, temporarily store the relevant information on the IMPS Server, and then forward it to the user terminal when the user goes online next time; the other is the direct sending mode, that is, the IMPS Server does not judge whether the receiving user is an In the offline state, the instant message is directly forwarded to the receiving terminal. If the user is offline at this time, the instant message will not be received. Since the instant message is not temporarily stored on the IMPS Server, the user cannot receive it even after the user goes online next time. that instant message.

It can be seen from the above two processing methods of the prior art that no matter whether the instant messages are temporarily stored or not, as long as the registered user is offline, the unreceived instant messages cannot be received in time.

Contents of the invention

The invention provides a method for receiving instant messages, which is used to solve the problem in the prior art that unreceived instant messages cannot be received in time when the registered user of the IMPS service is offline.

The present invention adopts a kind of receiving method of instant message, comprises the following steps:

A, after the instant message and presence service server (IMPS Server) receives the instant message (IM), judge whether the recipient user is online, if online, then proceed to step C, otherwise proceed to step B;

B. The IMPS Server temporarily stores the instant message, and sends a notification message to the recipient user, notifying that there is an unreceived instant message, and waits for the recipient user to go online. When the recipient user goes online, proceed to step C;

C. The IMPS Server forwards the instant message to the recipient user.

The sending mode of the notification message is sent by short message or sent by WAP PUSH.

The content of the notification message includes: the user identifier of the sender, the initiation time of the instant message session, and the type of the instant message session.

The sender user ID is one or a combination of the following items: sender user code (UserID), sender user nickname, sender user mobile phone number.

The instant conversation type is to receive instant messages, presence information (Presence) update notifications, group messages or shared content notifications.

After the IMPS Server of the present invention receives the instant message sent by the sender user, it judges whether the receiver user is online, if not online, then temporarily stores the instant message, and sends a message containing The notification message identified by the sender user, after receiving the notification message, the receiver user can decide whether to go online to receive the instant message immediately, thereby avoiding the problem in the prior art that the registered user cannot receive the unreceived instant message in time when the registered user is offline. Moreover, the registered user does not need to be in the online state for a long time in order to avoid missing instant messages, which not only saves the cost, but also prolongs the standby time of the mobile terminal.

Detailed ways

The invention relates to a method for receiving an instant message, which mainly includes the following steps:

When the instant message and presence service server (IMPS Server) receives the instant message (IM) sent by the originating user, the IMPS Server judges whether the receiving user is online; if online, the IMPS Server directly forwards the instant message to the receiving user ; Otherwise, the IMPS Server temporarily stores the instant message, and sends a notification message to the recipient user to inform that there is an unreceived instant message, and waits for the recipient user to go online. After the recipient user goes online, the IMPS Server forwards the instant message to the recipient user .

Now take the point-to-point sending instant message as an example to describe the specific implementation steps of the inventive method:

First, the initiator user sends an instant message session request to an instant message and presence service server (IMPS Server), and after receiving the request, the IMPS server judges whether the recipient user has logged into the instant message and presence service (IMPS), that is, judges Whether the recipient user is online. If the judgment result shows that the receiver user is online, the server directly forwards the instant message sent by the initiator user to the receiver user terminal, and the receiver user can have a conversation with the initiator user through the IMPS service interface after receiving the instant message; If the judgment result shows that the receiving party user is offline, the server temporarily stores the instant message sent by the initiator user, and sends a notification message to the receiving party user through a short message mode or WAP PUSH mode, and its purpose is to inform the receiving party User has unreceived instant messages. The content of the notification message includes: the sender user identification, which can be the sender user code (UserID), and/or the sender user nickname, and/or the sender user mobile phone number, and other information that can identify the sender user The expression mode of identity, after receiving the notification message that the IMPS server sends like this, the receiver user can intuitively understand who sent the instant message; the content of the notification message also includes the instant message session initiation time, In this way, the recipient user can understand the initiation time, and judge whether it is necessary to go online immediately according to the initiation time; the content of the notification message also includes the instant session type, which can be an instant message to be received, an update notification of presence information (Presence), Group messaging or shared content notifications, and other types of instant business conversations.

After the receiver user knows the content of the notification message, he can decide when to log in to the IMPS service through the user terminal interface according to the identity of the initiator user, the initiation time and the instant service session type to receive the instant message sent by the initiator user, and Have a conversation with it. If the receiving user decides to go online, the IMPS server forwards the corresponding unreceived instant messages to the receiving user when the receiving user goes online. For example: if the initiator user is a person whom the receiving user does not want to contact, then the receiving user can wait until the temporary storage time limit set by the IMPS server arrives before going online, so that when the temporary storage time limit set by the IMPS server arrives, the IMPS server The instant message will be deleted, so the receiving user will not receive the instant message, and obviously will not see unwanted messages. Another example: when the recipient user sees the notification message, it is far away from the initiation time, so it can be judged that the originator user has gone offline. Based on this, the recipient user can decide whether it is necessary to go online immediately to respond, or use other communication methods. connect. Another example: if the instant service session type is an update notification, then the receiver user does not need to go online immediately to update, but wait until the next time the user goes online to complete the update. Through the content involved in these notification messages, the recipient user has the autonomy to receive it and when to receive it.

The reception process of presence information (Presence) update notification, group message, or shared content notification, and other instant service session types is the same as the above method, and should be within the protection scope of the present invention.
