Embodiment
Below preferred implementation of the present invention is described.
Fig. 1 shows the system schematic that wherein can realize according to an embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Figure 1, wireless user terminal 110 directly communicates with the wireless system 120 of for example mobile operation system and/or mobile service provider system.Described in background technology, wireless system 120 can be coupled each other communicatedly with Third-Party Service 130, and wherein this Third-Party Service preferably can comprise Simple Mail Transfer protocol (SMTP) service 131 and Web service 132.This Third-Party Service 130 can communicate with wireless system 120 on the one hand, can also carry out information interaction (control and inquiry system 140 only being shown as example among Fig. 1) with a plurality of controls and inquiry system 140 on the other hand.
Control can comprise the server (for example POP3 server, exchange server etc.) 141 that has according to the remote agent equipment 300 of one embodiment of the present invention with inquiry system 140, have according to the remote agent equipment 300 of one embodiment of the present invention client (for example, such as the personal information manager of Outlook etc. etc.) 143, and be provided at the roaming system 142 that information such as carrying out data and order between server 141 and the client 143 is transmitted.Have identical functions at remote agent equipment on the client 143 300 and the remote agent equipment 300 on server 141, and can realize with the mode of hardware or software.In one example, the user sets up, preserves personal information (for example items of information such as Email, calendar, schedule, contact person) by client 143 in database 1430, and it is managed.And the user can also select that full detail item or selected item of information are sent to server 141 by roaming system 142 and back up.In fact, though Fig. 1 only illustrates a client 143 as example, server 141 (for example can be served a plurality of clients by roaming system 142, mail server is served a plurality of Mail Clients), therefore safeguarding in the database of server 1410 has the item of information that belongs to these a plurality of clients respectively.
Just as mentioned before, when the user be in can not directly use this client 143 environment (for example, leave the terminal equipment that this client 143 is installed), then the user is difficult to get access to the item of information of the function acquisition that is stored in this client 143 or can utilizes this client 143 again.In order to address this problem, in system shown in Figure 1, the user can be by wireless user terminal 110 editor's short message service message and Multimedia Message service messages, information (mobile user comprehensive service digital net (MSISDN) number for example that wherein in this message, includes the identity of indicating this user, IMSI International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), perhaps be included in user account in the message content and password etc.), be forwarded to preassigned control of this user and inquiry system 140 by Third-Party Service 130, so that carry out described operation by corresponding executive module (server 300 or client 300).
Carry out remote-operated process by wireless user terminal by Third-Party Service below by a concrete example detailed description.
In this example, the user of wireless user terminal 110 wishes the long-range information of obtaining the contact person " Ma Ling " who is stored in client 143 or the server 141.This user uses wireless user terminal 110 editor's short message service messages " GetC name:Ma Ling ", input recipient's number (this number is provided by Third-Party Service 130 usually, is used to identify the type of the recipient and/or the service that provides).Wireless system 120 sends to corresponding Third-Party Service 130 to this message according to recipient's number.This Third-Party Service 130 is forwarded to preassigned control of this user and inquiry system 140 based on the short message service message that the subscriber identity information in this short message service message will have subscriber identity information.Wherein, according to a kind of implementation, transmit this message by SMTP service 131.Reside in the server 141 of mail server and the message that receives from described wireless user terminal by Third-Party Service 130 as the remote agent equipment in the client 143 of Mail Clients 300 respectively, and this message resolved, obtain the user ID of this user's of indication identity information, for example the email account corresponding to mobile user comprehensive service digital net (MSISDN) number, IMSI International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) etc. of registering in advance, system logon account etc.; In another embodiment, can directly comprise email account and/or system logon account and password thereof in the content of this message, the user also can use does not like this has in advance the wireless terminal device of enrolled for service to carry out operation of the present invention yet.Then resolve the execution information of the indication executable operations of wanting, also be about to " GetC name:Ma Ling " in this example and resolve to " obtaining the associated person information that name is Ma Ling " by the mode of for example searching the command mapping table that the user customizes in advance.Remote agent equipment 300 need authenticate the user ID of for example email account, for example, check this user ID whether effectively, whether check this user ID be the user ID etc. that can carry out remote operation control to it.
Because client 143 is to supply user's special use usually, preserve complete relatively userspersonal information's item in its database 1430, and server 141 is because the restriction of memory capacity is only stored the important backup personal information item of a part usually for each user.Therefore for querying command, it is favourable can carrying out this querying command by client 143.Therefore when the verification process success, if client 143 is being moved, then the result that will resolve of remote agent equipment 300 wherein offers at this moment the client 143 as executive module.Client 143 is searched the information of contact person Ma Ling in database 1430, and it is sent to wireless system 120 by Third-Party Service 130, so that wireless user terminal 110 can receive Query Result with the form of short message service message.
If this moment, client 143 has been closed, and can't respond any remote control command, and then the result that will resolve of the remote agent equipment 300 in the server 141 offers at this moment the server 141 as executive module.Server 141 in its database with this user ID database section that is associated of email account information of searching contact person Ma Ling for example.If there is backup in this associated person information in database 1410, then it is sent to wireless system 120 by the Web service in the Third-Party Service 130 132, so that wireless user terminal 110 can receive Query Result with the form of short message service message.
Whether whether the remote agent equipment 300 in the server 141 of it is pointed out that here can be known client in many ways and close, need analysis result is offered executive module server 141 thereby understand.For example, in server 141, safeguard the state information that each potential customers' end is arranged, whether close with the indication relative client.It can initiatively send its state information via roaming system 142 when client 143 is opened or closed, with the corresponding state in the update service device 141.Another kind of feasible scheme is that server 141 can periodically detect all potential clients via roaming system 142 polls, to determine its state information.Thus, can guarantee that the remote agent equipment 300 in the server 141 can learn the state whether current corresponding client is moved.
If verification process is unsuccessful, then any one does not provide the analysis result of order among server 141 and client 143, and server 141 and client 143 are not carried out any operation thus.Perhaps alternatively, any one available assembly provides not indication by authentication so that return the message of an indication authentification failure to wireless user terminal 110 by the Web service in the Third-Party Service 130 132 by it among server 141 and client 143.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, Third-Party Service needs in advance to reach an agreement with the user of wireless user terminal 110, this agreement can be included in the related information of this user's identity information in the identity information of this user in the wireless system and control and the inquiry system, so that user's identity information shown as the subscriber identity information that control and inquiry system can be discerned when the message of transmitting from wireless user terminal.This information can propose to open according to remote control operation of the present invention when professional to Third-Party Service and state to third party service provider the user, and is configured by it.
Here it is to be noted, in above-mentioned example, with a querying command is the operation that example has illustrated system shown in Figure 1, but the user also for example can edit, command server or client carry out some the operation etc. control command (for example, mail server sends mail, and Mail Clients customizes certain minutes etc.).Remote agent equipment only needs this order is offered corresponding executive module (server or client) after resolving, and corresponding executive module can be finished corresponding operation according to order.The code of these controls or querying command and/or content can be customized by each user oneself, for example the user's phrase being convenient to remember with oneself on client or monogram are represented certain order, order performed operation to define by record macro or by programming.The user can upgrade the command mapping table of being safeguarded by the remote agent equipment on client 143 and/or the server 141 300 with the order that oneself defines at any time.
Fig. 2 shows and is used for carrying out the workflow diagram of Long-distance Control with executable operations by wireless user terminal by Third-Party Service in system shown in Figure 1.
In step S201, wireless user equipment sends inquiry or control command with the form of short message service message.
In step S202, transmit this inquiry or control command by mobile operator and/or mobile service provider's wireless system.
In step S203, transmit this inquiry or control command by the smtp server of third party service provider.Third-Party Service can be safeguarded the related information of this user's identity information in the identity information of this user in wireless system and control and the inquiry system, so that user's identity information shown as the subscriber identity information that control and inquiry system can be discerned when the message of transmitting from wireless user terminal.The rule that customizes in advance when perhaps Third-Party Service can be according to customize services, based on the number of wireless terminal device the remote agent equipment of this forwards in corresponding client and/or the Exchange/POP3 server.
In step S204, remote agent equipment receives and resolves this control or querying command.Thereby obtain the user ID of this user's of indication identity information, and the execution information of the indication executable operations of wanting.
In step S205, by check this user ID whether effectively, whether check this user ID be the user ID etc. that can carry out remote operation control to it, the user's of wireless user equipment identity is authenticated.
In step S206, determine whether client is executive module.Here,, can judge this moment, whether client was moved,, then determine and to handle the current command by client, also be that client is an executive module, otherwise determine that server is an executive module if move for querying command.For control command, can judge whether this order is only to be used for the control command of client and to judge whether client is moved, if then determine and to handle the current command by client, also be that client is an executive module, otherwise determine that server is an executive module.
If determine that in step S206 server is an executive module, then in step S207, the remote agent equipment that resides at server side will offer server and use by the analysis result (comprising user ID and execution information) of authentication.
In step S208, server is used and is generated execution result, for example carries out inquiry or carries out a certain specific operation etc.
In step S209, send the whether execution result of successful execution of for example Query Result and controlled function with appropriate format by server.
If determine that in step S206 client is an executive module, then in step S210, the remote agent equipment that is positioned at client-side will offer client application by the analysis result (comprising user ID and execution information) of authentication.
In step S211, client application generates execution result, for example carries out inquiry or carries out a certain specific operation etc.
In step S212, send the whether execution result of successful execution of for example Query Result and controlled function with appropriate format by client.
In step S213, transmit this execution result by the Web service of third party service provider.
In step S214, transmit this execution result with the form of short message service message by mobile operator and/or mobile service provider's wireless system.
In step S215, wireless user terminal receives the message of indication execution result, and this execution result is presented to the user.
Be not illustrated among Fig. 2 step S205 to the indication user identity the user ID authentification failure after respective handling.If verification process failure in step S205, then any one does not provide the analysis result of order to remote agent equipment among the server and client side, and server application and client application are not carried out any operation thus.Perhaps alternatively, remote agent equipment can provide the not indication by authenticating by any one available assembly among the server and client side, so that return the message of an indication authentification failure to wireless user terminal by the Web service in the Third-Party Service by it.
Fig. 3 has schematically shown the functional block diagram according to the remote agent equipment of an embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Figure 3, reference number 300 expression remote agent equipment; Reference number 310 expressions are used for by the receiving system of described Third-Party Service reception from the message of described wireless user terminal; Reference number 320 expressions are used for the message that is received is carried out the resolver of dissection process; Reference number 330 expression is used for authenticate device that user identity is authenticated; Reference number 340 expressions are used for analysis result is offered the generator of executive module.
In remote agent equipment 300, receiving system 310 receive from wireless user equipment, by the message that Third-Party Service is transmitted, have the user totem information of this wireless user equipment of indication user's identity in this message.Then, resolve, comprise user ID of indicating described wireless user's identity and the execution information of indicating the executable operations of being wanted to obtain by the message of 320 pairs of these receptions of resolver.Because the order that the user sends is intended to hold application or private data to operate to its individual client usually, and common this Long-distance Control only provides for carrying out customized in advance user, therefore whether has the right to carry out this remote operation and need the user ID of for example email account be authenticated in order to discern this user.The user totem information that utilizes resolver 320 to be provided in authenticate device 330 authenticates user identity, for example, check this user ID whether effectively, whether check this user ID be the user ID etc. that can carry out remote operation control to it.Behind the authentication success, be used for the user ID of authentication and the execution information of this remote control operation are offered described wireless user's corresponding executive module to carry out described operation by generator 340.According to an embodiment of the present, when this remote control operation order was a querying command, then this executive module was this client under the situation of client operation, was server under the situation that client is closed.Generator 340 can determine whether active client is moving in the mode that various those skilled in the art were familiar with, and the client current state information of for example safeguarding in the querying server perhaps receives message of indication client current state information or the like.According to an embodiment of the present, when this remote control operation order was a control command, then executive module was the main body of the specified executable operations of this control command.
Subsequently, for example be that the executive module of server or client can be according to user totem information and execution information, carry out corresponding information inquiry or such as actions such as " forwarding ", " customized meeting promptings ".
