Description

Information transmission method and device Technical field

This document relates to, but is not limited to, the field of communications, and relates to a method and apparatus for transmitting information.

Background technique

With the rapid development of the mobile Internet, OTT (Over The Top, providing various application services to users through the Internet) has made great strides, which has strongly impacted the traditional voice and short message services of telecommunications. Traditional telecom operators need to transform to meet the challenges of the mobile Internet era.

The GSMA announced the RCS (Rich Communication Suite) program in 2009 and received responses from several European operators. In 2010, the top five telecom giants in Europe, including Telefonica of Spain, Vodafone of England, Orange of Italy, Telecom Italia and Deutsche Telekom, decided to jointly launch their own instant messaging system and named it “Joyn” to officially declare war on OTT applications. Currently, 28 operators in 17 countries around the world launched the RCS/joyn service in 2014, and 85 top mobile network operators promised to launch RCS services by 2015. China Mobile released the “Next Generation RCS White Paper” in early February 2014, demonstrating its determination to innovate and transform its business. Traditional short-message SPs (Service Providers) use SMS to send service information to provide services for users. With the construction and development of RCS systems, more and more users will use RCS as a means of communication. This will inevitably affect the business of the traditional short MMS SP. Therefore, if the traditional short MMS SP can quickly and seamlessly migrate the service to the RCS system, the traditional short MMS SP service can continue to develop and become an urgent need to solve.
