Background technique

In a wireless communication system, mobile stations (MS, Mobile Station) can communicate in the form of short messages. Each MS (more precisely, each mobile number) belongs to a Short Message Service Center (SMSC, Short Message Service Center). Generally speaking, the basic process of sending a short message from the sender MS to the receiver MS is shown in Figure 1, and the detailed description is as follows:

Step 1. The sender MS sends a Mobile Originate (MO, Mobile Originate) message to the Short Message Service Center SMSC.

Step 2. After receiving the MO message, the SMSC sends a MO_ACK response to the sender MS, indicating that the short message is successfully transmitted.

Step 3, the SMSC sends a short message, namely a mobile termination (MT, Mobile Terminate) message to the receiver MS through the signaling network.

Step 4. The recipient MS sends MT_ACK to the SMSC, indicating that the short message is sent successfully.

The above-mentioned process is the process of sending short messages under normal circumstances. In abnormal situations such as the short message receiver is in a shutdown state, there will be exception processing to ensure the final delivery of the short message.

Based on the above process, value-added services based on short messages (such as short message storage, short message transfer, short message signature, etc.) Gateway (SMSG, Short Message Service Gateway), and some value-added services also involve the transformation of other related equipment such as mobile communication home location register (HLR, Home Location Register), and the current implementation methods are all for various individual For the design of short message value-added services, there is no unified design scheme that can realize all short message value-added services.

Detailed ways

The present invention proposes a system, device and method for realizing message value-added services to provide a unified design scheme to realize all message value-added services, wherein the messages are short messages or multimedia messages. The specific implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below by taking a short message as an example.

With the increase of short message value-added service types, the modification and upgrade of SMSC are also more frequent, which may lead to the following problems:

First, when the new value-added short message service is launched, the short message service center needs to be upgraded, which poses a greater risk to the normal short message service;

Second, when the new short message value-added service goes online, it will have too much impact on the short message service center, which will significantly reduce the performance of the short message center;

Third, the newly deployed short message value-added service may affect the already deployed short message value-added service, and the newly deployed short message value-added service may be different from the already deployed short message value-added service. Increased maintenance complexity;

Fourth, the implementation of new short message value-added services is different when it goes online, which is not convenient for operators to plan and manage the entire network in a unified manner;

Fifth, short message value-added services in different regions are difficult to interoperate due to different implementation methods, and cannot provide whole-network services.

In view of the above problems, the embodiment of the present invention provides a system, device and method for realizing short message value-added service service, adding a short message value-added service device (VSPS, Value-added Service Platform for SMS) in the existing wireless communication system, and The short message service center communication connection separates the sending of short messages from the control and processing of short message value-added services, so that when adding new short message value-added services, there is no need to modify equipment such as short message service centers, and short message value-added services The service device is a national unified network, which can realize the whole network promotion of short message value-added services.

The specific implementation manners of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

The system structure diagram for realizing message value-added service in the embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 2 , including: message service center 210 and message value-added service device 220 .

The message service center 210 is configured to forward the received message to the message value-added service device 220, and forward the message to the user or refuse to forward the received message according to the returned instruction information;

The message value-added service device 220 is configured to, according to the user information related to the message, determine that there is attribute information of the user's message value-added service, perform corresponding value-added service processing according to the attribute information, and at least return to the message service center whether to forward Instructions for the message.

Preferably, when the message service center inquires that the sender user has subscribed to the message value-added service, or when the receiver user and the sender user have the same attribution and subscribed to the message value-added service, or the receiver user and the sender user When the attributions of the devices are different, the received message is forwarded to the message value-added service device.

The above-mentioned message value-added service device includes a sender message value-added service device and a receiver message value-added service device, wherein:

The message value-added service device at the sender is configured to send a query request to the message value-added service device at the receiver when it is found that the user at the receiver is different from the user at the sender, and send at least a message to the message service center according to the processing result of the notification. Return the indication information whether to forward the message;

The receiver message value-added service device is configured to, according to the receiver user information related to the message in the query request, determine that there is attribute information of the user's message value-added service, and perform corresponding value-added services according to the attribute information processing, and notify the message value-added service device of the sender of the processing result.

The above-mentioned system for implementing message value-added service services may also include a front-end device for receiving the query request sent by the message value-added service device of the sender, and forwarding it to the message value-added service device of the receiver, and receiving the processing of the message value-added service device notification of the receiver The result is forwarded to the message value-added service device of the sender.

The above-mentioned front-end device may include a sender front-end device and a receiver front-end device, wherein:

The sender's front-end device is used to receive the query request sent by the sender's message value-added service device, and forward it to the receiver's front-end device, and receive the processing result forwarded by the receiver's front-end device, and forward it to the sender's message value-added service device ;

The receiver's front-end device is used to receive the query request forwarded by the sender's front-end device, and forward it to the receiver's message value-added service device, and receive the processing result notified by the receiver's message value-added service device, and forward it to the sender's front-end device .

Taking the realization of value-added service of short message as an example, Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the interconnection between value-added service systems of short messages in various regions, it can be seen that each region is equipped with value-added service devices for short messages, each The devices are connected to each other to realize the whole network interconnection.

In addition, VSPS can be expanded smoothly. For example, when the short message value-added service volume is small, there may be only one VSPS in a certain place, which provides services for all short message service centers in the area. With the increase of the business volume, the local VSPS can be expanded into multiple, and the many-to-many connection mode is supported between the VSPS and the SMSC. VSPS can be interconnected based on TCP/IP. When multiple VSPSs are required in one area, full interconnection will lead to complex network connections, and in terms of performance, the cost of fully interconnected devices is very high. Therefore, the VSPS pre-device can be configured according to the region to complete the connection to provide higher performance and ensure the security and robustness of the system, as shown in Figure 4. Of course, it is also possible to configure the front-end device only in areas with multiple VSPS, and not to configure the front-end device in other areas where the short message value-added service volume is small.

For the situation that each area is equipped with a front-end device, the interaction between the short message value-added service devices in different areas is completed through the front-end device, that is, when the short message value-added service device in area 1 sends a query request to area 2, it is sent by area 1 The front-end device in the region forwards the query request to the front-end device in area 2, and the front-end device in area 2 forwards the query request to the short message value-added service device in the local area, and notifies the short message value-added service device in the local area The result is forwarded to the front-end device in area 1, which then forwards the processing result to the short message value-added service device in area 1. For some area systems with front-end devices, SMS value-added service devices in areas with front-end devices interact with SMS value-added service devices in areas without front-end devices through the front-end devices in this area.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a message value-added service device, the structure of which is shown in FIG. 5 , including: a determining unit 510 , a processing unit 520 , a returning unit 530 and a forwarding unit 540 .

The determining unit 510 is configured to determine the attribute information of the user's message value-added service according to the user information related to the message received by the message service center;

a processing unit 520, configured to perform corresponding value-added service processing according to the attribute information determined by the determining unit 510;

The returning unit 530 is configured to return at least indication information of whether to forward the message to the message service center.

The forwarding unit 540 is configured to forward the query request to the message value-added service device at the home of the receiving user when the home of the receiving user is different from that of the sending user, and receive the notification from the message value-added service device at the home of the receiving user Process the result and forward it to the return unit 530;

The returning unit 530 may return at least indication information of whether to forward the message to the message service center according to the processing result of the notification.

Preferably, the short message value-added service device may further include a storage control unit, configured to control the storage space of the physical storage medium outside the message value-added service device and the process of storing relevant information in the physical storage medium by the processing unit 520 .

Figure 6 shows a specific structural diagram of a VSPS. It can be seen from Figure 6 that the structural design of the VSPS separates value-added service control processing, storage functions, and computing functions. When the value-added service is modified, other value-added services will not be affected. VSPS can be carried by multiple servers. Multiple physical servers form a logical VSPS system. When the volume of short message value-added services increases, the capacity can be expanded according to the needs. The capacity can be expanded from business expansion, storage capacity expansion and performance Consider three levels of expansion:

1. Service expansion: VSPS adopts the design strategy of separating value-added service control processing logic from common modules such as interface adapters, so that when new value-added services need to be added, it is only necessary to simply add value-added service control processing logic modules for new value-added services , and then register this value-added service control processing module in VSPS, without modifying the short message service center or the common module of VSPS, so the VSPS value-added service control processing logic has strong scalability.

2. Storage capacity expansion: Some short message value-added services require a large storage space, such as short message warehouse services. The VSPS structure design shown in Figure 6 separates the storage control unit as a single common unit in the VSPS and the middle layer between the value-added service control processing logic and the external physical storage medium, so that all value-added service control processing logic and The shared module shares the external physical storage medium through the shared storage control unit. When the storage capacity is insufficient, it is only necessary to simply expand the physical storage medium of the system, and there is no need for any value-added service control processing logic and shared modules. Revise.

3. Performance expansion: With the development of short message value-added services, the processing capacity of the VSPS system may be insufficient. The VSPS system supports the simultaneous operation of multiple identical value-added service control processing logics and all value-added service control processing logics in the system It can share the computing resources of the system (such as CPU, memory, etc.), so when there is insufficient processing capacity, two methods can be used to expand performance according to the specific situation: If the computing resources of the entire system are sufficient, but a certain value-added service control processing When the processing capacity of the logic is insufficient, the capacity can be expanded by increasing the running instance of the value-added service control processing logic, for example, increasing the number of servers, etc.; if the computing resources of the entire system are insufficient, the capacity can be expanded by expanding the computing resources of the system, for example, Increase the number of CPUs, etc., and the increased computing resources are shared by all modules in the system.

The main modules inside the above-mentioned VSPS are introduced below:

1. Value-added service logic control unit: used for judgment and triggering of short message value-added service logic, service logic priority decision, service capability analysis, and logical processing of service combination, etc.;

2. Message routing/forwarding module: it is the routing interface with VSPS in other regions, it can be inside VSPS, or set the VSPS pre-device outside VSPS after the business volume increases;

3. Management module: including network management (responsible for the management and configuration of various modules within the VSPS), user service information management (mainly responsible for the acceptance of user-defined services), security management (mainly responsible for the communication between VSPS and the short message service center and VSPS in other regions) Security management and security in the process of information interaction), billing function (used to process business billing by item, and instruct other related network elements (such as service control point SCP) to perform deduction operations), etc.;

4. Value-added service control processing logic 1...n: mainly realize the specific operation and operation logic of different short message value-added services;

5. Storage control unit: common for all value-added service control processing logics, and coordinate the requirements of various value-added service control processing logics for external physical storage media.

The embodiment of the present invention also provides a message service center, the structure of which is shown in Figure 7, including a query unit 710, a first forwarding unit 720, a judging unit 730 and a second forwarding unit 740:

The first forwarding unit 720 is configured to forward the received message to the message value-added service device;

Judging unit 730, configured to determine whether to forward the message to the user according to the indication information returned by the message value-added service device;

The second forwarding unit 740 is configured to forward the message to the user when the judging unit 730 determines to forward the message to the user.

Preferably, the query unit 710 is used to query whether the sender user subscribes to the message value-added service, whether the recipient user and the sender user belong to the same place, and when the recipient user and the sender user have the same Whether the party user has customized message value-added services;

When the query unit 710 inquires that the sender user subscribes to the message value-added service, or when the receiver user and the sender user have the same affiliation and subscribe to the message value-added service, or when the receiver user and the sender user have different affiliations, The first forwarding unit 720 forwards the received message to the message value-added service device.

Based on the above-mentioned system, device, and message service center for implementing value-added message services, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for implementing value-added message services, the process of which is shown in Figure 8, and the specific steps are as follows:

Step 810, the message service center forwards the received message to the message value-added service device;

Preferably, in this step, when the message service center finds that the sender user has subscribed to the message value-added service, or the receiver user and the sender user have the same attribution and subscribed to the message value-added service, or the receiver user and the sender user have subscribed to the message value-added service When the attribution of the sender user is different, the received message is forwarded to the message value-added service device.

Step 820, the message value-added service device determines whether there is the attribute information of the message value-added service of the user according to the user information related to the message, and if it exists, proceed to the next step; if it does not exist, the message service center performs normal message forwarding ;

In this step, when the message service center inquires that the sender user has customized message value-added services, the user information related to the message refers to the sender user information; when the message service center inquires about the ownership of the receiver user and the sender user When the location is the same and the message value-added service is customized, the user information related to the message refers to the receiver user information; The message value-added service device sends a query request to the message value-added service device at the receiver's home location; the message value-added service device at the receiver's home site determines whether the user exists according to the receiver's user information related to the message in the query request The attribute information of the message value-added service, if it exists, proceed to the next step according to the attribute information;

Step 830, perform corresponding value-added service processing according to the attribute information;

Here, the attribute information may include information such as the type of message value-added service customized by the user. In this step, the message value-added service device at the place where the sender user belongs performs corresponding value-added service processing according to the attribute information of the message value-added service of the sender user or the receiver user with the same home place; When the location is different, the message value-added service device at the home of the receiving user performs corresponding value-added service processing according to the attribute information of the message value-added service of the receiving user, and notifies the message value-added service device at the home of the sending user of the processing result.

Step 840, the message value-added service device returns at least indication information whether to forward the message to the message service center;

In this step, when returning the indication information of whether to forward the message to the message service center, the message processed by the value-added service or the message not processed by the value-added service is returned to the message service center.

Step 850, the message service center forwards the message to the user or refuses to forward the received message according to the returned instruction information.

In this step, the message service center forwards the value-added service-processed or unprocessed message to the receiver user according to the instruction of the message value-added service device, or, for example, when the receiver user customizes the message filtering service, according to the message value-added The service device's indication of refusal to forward the message refuses to forward the received message to the recipient user.

In step 830, performing corresponding value-added service processing according to the determined attribute information at least includes:

When it is determined that the user has customized the message return receipt service, the message itself is not processed, and a message containing the content of the return receipt is additionally generated; or

When it is determined that the user has customized a message signature service, process the message itself to generate a message containing the user's signature; or

When it is determined that the user has subscribed to the message transfer service, the message itself is not processed, and a message containing the transfer user information is additionally generated; or

When it is determined that the user has ordered a message filtering service, the message itself is not processed, and a message indicating that the message service center refuses to send the message is additionally generated; or

When it is determined that the user has ordered the message warehouse service, the message is stored.

Taking short messages as an example, the processing flow of implementing short message value-added service services by using VSPS is described in detail below, as shown in Figure 9, and the specific steps are as follows:

Step 1. The sender MS submits the MO message to the SMSC;

Step 2, SMSC pre-reply to the sender MS, SMSC inquires whether the sender MS has subscribed to the short message value-added service, and whether the attribution of the receiver MS and the sender MS are the same, and if they are the same, inquire whether the receiver MS has subscribed Short message value-added service;

Step 3. If the sender MS subscribes to the short message value-added service, or the receiver MS and the sender MS have the same attribution and subscribe to the short message value-added service, or the receiver MS and the sender MS have different attributions, the SMSC sends a Relay_SM The message is sent to the VSPS where the sender belongs, that is, the local VSPS, and the MO message entity is saved at the same time;

Step 4, if the place of attribution of receiver MS and sender MS is the same, that is, a local user, then at the local VSPS, determine the attribute information of the short message value-added service that both exist according to the information of sender MS and receiver MS, and according to This attribute information carries out the corresponding short message value-added service processing, and then proceeds to step 9; if the attribution of the receiving party MS and the sending party MS are different, that is, it is a foreign user, then the local VSPS sends a query request Query_SM_Service to the VSPS at the attribution of the receiving party MS , and then go to step 5;

Step 5, the VSPS at the recipient's place of origin determines whether there is the attribute information of the short message value-added service according to the information of the receiver's MS, and returns a response message Query_SM_Service_Resp to the local VSPS, and informs the local VSPS of the customized short message value-added service type of the receiver's MS, etc. Attribute information or the recipient MS has not subscribed to any short message value-added services;

Step 6, the local VSPS sends a Relay_SM_Resp message to the SMSC at the sender's home; SMSC judges according to the Relay_SM_Resp message: if both the sender MS and the receiver MS do not have the attribute information of the short message value-added service, then the SMSC carries out the normal delivery of the short message, Billing and bill generation; if there is attribute information of short message value-added service in the receiver MS in other places, proceed to step 7;

Step 7, the local VSPS uses the Search_Service_Info message to return the attribute information of the short message value-added service of the receiver MS sent by the VSPS at the receiver's home site to the VSPS at the receiver's home site. This is because the user's The attribute information consumption of short message value-added services is relatively large;

Step 8. The VSPS at the receiver's place of origin performs corresponding value-added service processing according to the attribute information, and returns the message Search_Service_Info_Resp to the local VSPS to notify the local VSPS of the processing results. Short message value-added service integration, determine whether to instruct the short message service center to forward the message and to forward the message processed by the value-added service or the unprocessed message;

The following local VSPS and SMSC interaction methods are divided into two types:

Method 1. Asynchronous mode

Step 9, local VSPS returns the indication information of forwarding message to SMSC;

In this step, the value-added service processed or unprocessed message can be returned to the SMSC at the same time;

Step 10, SMSC returns Submit_SM_Resp to local VSPS;

Step 11, SMSC forwards the message to the recipient user;

Step 12, the recipient user sends a response message to the SMSC;

Step 13, SMSC sends a status report message to the local VSPS;

Step 14, the local VSPS sends a status report response to the SMSC, and then proceeds to step 15;

Method 2. Interactive mode

Step 9', the local VSPS returns the indication information of forwarding message to SMSC;

In this step, the value-added service processed or unprocessed message can be returned to the SMSC at the same time;

Step 10', SMSC forwards the message to the recipient user;

Step 11', the recipient user sends a response message to the SMSC;

Step 12', SMSC returns Submit_SM_Resp to the local VSPS, and then proceeds to step 15;

Step 15, the local VSPS sends a status report notification message Deliver_Report_SM to the SMSC;

Step 16, SMSC returns response, deletes MO message entity;

Step 17, SMSC sends a status report to the sender MS;

Step 18, the sender MS returns a status report response message to the SMSC; if the receiver MS is a local user, the process ends; if the receiver MS is a foreign user, then proceed to step 19;

Step 19, the local VSPS sends a service notification message Notify_SM to the VSPS at the receiver's home location;

Step 20, the VSPS at the receiver's home location sends a service notification response message Notify_SM_Resp to the local VSPS.

The selection of the above-mentioned mode 1 and mode 2 is determined by the SMSC, and the VSPS performs adaptation, and the situation in the following embodiments is the same.

The following takes a specific short message value-added service as an example to specifically embody the method for realizing the short message value-added service provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

Embodiment 1, sender short message receipt service

The flow chart of the sender's short message receipt service is shown in Figure 10, and the specific steps are as follows:

Step 1. The sender MS submits the MO message to the sender's home SMSC;

Step 2, SMSC pre-reply to the sender MS, SMSC simultaneously inquires whether the sender MS has subscribed to the short message value-added service, and whether the attributions of the receiver MS and the sender MS are the same, and if they are the same, inquire whether the receiver MS subscribes Short message value-added service;

Step 3, if it is inquired that the sender MS has ordered a short message value-added service, the SMSC sends a Relay_SM message to the local VSPS, and simultaneously saves the MO message entity;

Step 4, the local VSPS determines the attribute information of its customized short message value-added service according to the information of the sender MS, and then sends the Relay_SM_Resp message to the SMSC;

In this step, the local VSPS can determine the attribute information of the short message value-added service of the sender MS. For example, the sender MS has customized the short message receipt service and other information related to the service. The SMSC can judge the local VSPS according to the Relay_SM_Resp message Whether it is necessary to perform value-added service processing according to the attribute information, if not, perform normal message forwarding, billing, and bill generation; if necessary, wait for the instruction information after VSPS processing. If the VSPS determines the short message receipt service information of the sender MS, then according to the information, there is no need to process the message body itself, but an additional message for receipt needs to be generated, and then proceed to the following steps;

The following VSPS and SMSC interaction methods are divided into two types, and are the same as steps 9 to 14 and steps 9' to 12' in the process shown in Figure 9, and will not be described here;

Step 11, the local VSPS sends a status report notification message Deliver_Report_SM to the SMSC;

Step 12, SMSC returns response, deletes MO message entity;

Step 13. The local VSPS submits the message containing the receipt content to the Montnets gateway according to the delivery status;

Step 14, Monternet gateway returns Deliver_SM_Resp to VSPS;

Step 15. The Montnets gateway sends the content of the short message receipt to the third-party content provider;

Step 16, the third-party content provider returns a response message to the Monternet gateway;

Thereafter, the short message receipt message is sent to the sender MS through the Monternet gateway.

Embodiment 2, short message signature service

The flowchart of the short message signature service is shown in Figure 11, and the specific steps are as follows:
