Detailed Description

Herein, a color ring service, or other personalized ring tone services are collectively referred to as a customized ring tone service, which refers to a service in which a specific main body (e.g., a terminal or a specific service) can customize a personalized ring tone by itself. Ring tones refer to multimedia including, but not limited to, text, audio, video, and the like.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a network architecture for providing customized ring tones. The system comprises:

and the service server 14 is used for receiving the service request of the non-voice service, providing the non-voice service and determining that the customized ring tone aiming at the non-voice service is signed up. A customized ring tone platform 12 for determining and providing a media resource for the customized ring tone; and the service server is matched with the customized ring tone platform, and the customized ring tone is played according to the providing mode of the customized ring tone.

The system may also include a terminal 10 that may be used to coordinate the above-described playing of the ring tone for non-voice services.

In this application scenario, the terminal may be a cell phone, a computer, a PDA, or the like. The customized ring tone platform is a server or a server group providing personalized ring tones, such as a polyphonic ring tone platform, a color vibration platform, and the like. The service server may be a server or a group of servers providing various specific different services, which may be services provided over a communication network, the internet or other devices or networks.

The non-voice service herein refers to various services other than the existing ordinary cs (circuit switched) domain voice call service and IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) domain voice call service, such as a location service, an Email service, a POC (Push to talk over Cellular, Push to talk) service, a Multimedia message service, and the like.

It should be noted that the above specific services are only examples, and the following embodiments of the method, system and apparatus may also be applied to a color ring or a ring tone service for a voice service. In other words, the adoption of the scheme can enable the voice service or other non-voice services to be applicable, and can realize color ring back tone or color vibration aiming at various services.

In the above embodiments, the color ring for the non-voice service is implemented by different media playing modes. Therefore, user experience is improved, and the user can show own personalized information in various services.

In other specific embodiments, the system may further include a service management server, or referred to as a service configuration management platform, configured to uniformly manage the turning on or off of the customized ring tone of the at least one terminal for the at least one service. For example, the service may be a BOSS Business & Operation Support System (Business Operation Support System), a GSSM General service subscription Management (GSSM generic service subscription Management platform), or the like. In another embodiment, the function of the service management server may also be integrated in a customized ring tone platform, and the customized ring tone platform performs the turning on or off of the customized ring tone for the service.

In other embodiments, the service management server or the customized ring tone platform may synchronize the information of whether the user has opened the customized ring tone of the service to the service server in advance, and the user may also set the customized ring tone for the service in the service server, or obtain related information through other management systems.

The system described in fig. 1 may perform the methods shown in fig. 2-7 below.

A method for opening a customized ringtone comprises receiving a customized ringtone opening request for a non-voice service; and carrying out subscription configuration of the customized ring tone and storing configuration information of the customized ring tone.

The customized ring tone is described as a color ring. Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a specific implementation method for opening a coloring ring back tone for a specific service.

The method comprises the following steps:

a polyphonic ringtone provisioning request for non-voice services is received 201.

Taking the service management server for management as an example, the service management server receives a polyphonic ringtone fulfillment request for a non-voice service. The CRBT opening request aiming at the non-voice service comprises the following steps: user identification and service identification. The service identifier is used for identifying a specific service which needs to open the color ring. Specifically, the service identifier may be set according to a policy.

For example, if the user defaults to open the color ring for all possible services, the service identifier in the color ring opening request may be set to a specific format, such as identifier O, which is to open the color ring for all services. For another example, the user may also configure a color ring for a certain service individually, and perform different settings for different services. It is also possible that the specific service without service identification indicates that all the possible polyphonic ring tones need to be opened.

Specifically, the polyphonic ringtone opening request may be sent to the service configuration management platform by the terminal in various ways such as a short message, a telephone, a Portal for logging in a service, a business hall, and the like.

The polyphonic ringtone opening request can also be customized by a specific service to the service configuration management platform. That is, a specific service may open a color ring for its own service, regardless of the user.

202 performs the polyphonic ringtone subscription configuration for the non-voice service, and stores the polyphonic ringtone configuration information.

The configuration of the color ring subscription may specifically include: judging whether a user opens a color ring for the non-voice service or not; if the user does not open the color ring for the service, the service configuration management platform opens the color ring for the service for the user. Or, the polyphonic ringtone signing configuration aiming at the non-voice service is directly carried out without judging whether the polyphonic ringtone aiming at the non-voice service is opened.

The service or the polyphonic ringtone configuration information subscribed by the user can be stored in different network devices, such as a service server and a polyphonic ringtone platform. Certainly, the color ring configuration information may be stored in a unified service management Server, such as a BOSS system, or may be stored in a network device such as an HLR (Home Location Register) or an HSS (Home Subscriber Server). The service server obtains whether the user signs the color ring for the non-voice service by inquiring the unified service management platform.

The method can also comprise the following steps: 203 are synchronized for ring back tone subscriptions for non-voice services.

Specifically, the polyphonic ringtone configuration information can be synchronized to other related devices. Taking the service management server as an example, the polyphonic ringtone configuration information can be synchronized to the polyphonic ringtone platform, the corresponding service server and the HLR or HSS.

If the polyphonic ringtone subscription management has the condition that the user needs to activate the service, the polyphonic ringtone subscription and activation conditions aiming at the non-voice service can be synchronized to other equipment through the 203 step. Step 203 may also be performed after the user activates the ring back tone. That is, the user signs the color ring for the service, but the signing and/or activating information does not necessarily need to be synchronized to other devices immediately under the condition that the color ring is not activated; but after the user activates the service color ring, the subscription and/or activation information is synchronized to other devices, such as a corresponding service server or HLR, HSS, and the like.

In other embodiments, the above 201 to 203 may also be executed by a service server or a color ring platform. The above functions can be all integrated into the service server or the color ring platform to complete, or part of the functions can be completed by the service server or the color ring platform, and other functions can be completed by combining the service management platform.

For example, the user sends a polyphonic ringtone opening request to the polyphonic ringtone platform in a way of the Portal of the polyphonic ringtone platform and the like. After receiving the CRBT opening request, the CRBT platform firstly carries out CRBT signing configuration aiming at the service, then sends the corresponding CRBT opening request to the service management server, and the service management server carries out CRBT signing configuration aiming at the service. And the service management server synchronizes the service color ring subscription information to a corresponding service server or HLR or HSS.

By the method for opening the customized ring tone aiming at the service, the user can set the same or different customized ring tone attributes and personalized information aiming at different services. For example, the user can uniformly set the color ring back tone for opening and configuring all related services. Such as: user B sets up as in calling out the business, when user A calls out oneself, provide the multimedia color ring A; when the user A sends the message to the user A through the message service, the message receipt sent to the user A adopts the multimedia color ring A; when the user A locates himself through the positioning service, the multimedia color ring A is played to the user A in the waiting process. The user can also configure the color ring for a certain service independently, and perform different settings for different services.

Fig. 3a is a flow diagram of a method of an embodiment for providing customized ring tones for a service. A method of providing a customized ring tone, the method comprising:

301. it is determined whether a customized ringtone for non-voice traffic is subscribed.

In particular, the determination may be made based on a service identification and/or a user identification, and stored customized ring tone configuration information.

302. If the customized ring tone aiming at the service is signed, the customized ring tone is played according to the providing mode of the customized ring tone aiming at the service.

In some embodiments, the manner in which the customized ring tone is provided may be set by the system. At this time, the subsequent process is performed according to the initial setting of the system, and the indication of the providing mode of the customized ringtone for the service is not needed in the interaction process of the customized ringtone for the service.

The provider style of the customized ring tone for the service may be: initiating media negotiation to the terminal by the customized ring tone platform to complete the customized ring tone (first color ring providing mode for short) aiming at the service; or, the terminal initiates media negotiation to the customized ring tone platform to complete the customized ring tone (second color ring providing mode for short) for the service; or, the customized ring tone platform directly provides media to the terminal, or downloads the media according to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) after providing the URL, or completes the customized ring tone for the service (a third color ring providing mode for short) in a streaming media playing mode according to the URL after providing the URL; or, the customized ring tone platform and the terminal complete the customized ring tone for the service (fourth color ring providing mode for short) in a media negotiation mode through the service server.

In other embodiments, the providing manner of the customized ringtone for the service may also be determined according to a media playing manner supported by the service server or characteristics of a customized ringtone platform, and this process may be referred to as customized ringtone policy analysis.

Specifically, the customized ring tone policy analysis may be performed by a service server or a customized ring tone platform. If the business server carries out policy analysis, the obtained customized ring tone providing mode can be sent to a customized ring tone platform or a terminal; if the customized ring tone platform carries out policy analysis, the obtained customized ring tone providing mode can be sent to a service server or a terminal.

Taking the customized ring tone as the polyphonic ringtone as an example, at this time, the customized ring tone platform is specifically a polyphonic ringtone platform, the terminal is a calling terminal, and the customized ring tone policy analysis specifically may be:

when the service server does not support the media interaction between the color ring platform and the calling terminal through the service server, (no matter the characteristics of the color ring platform), a first color ring providing mode can be adopted. Such as the method shown in fig. 4.

When the service server does not support the media interaction between the color ring platform and the calling terminal through the service server, (no matter the characteristics of the color ring platform), a second color ring providing mode can be adopted. Such as the method shown in fig. 5.

When the color ring platform supports to provide media directly to the calling terminal, or download according to the media URL after providing the media URL, or play the streaming media according to the media URL after providing the media URL, (no matter what the media playing mode supported by the service server at this time), a third color ring providing mode can be adopted. Such as the method shown in fig. 6.

When the service server supports the media interaction between the color ring platform and the calling terminal through the service server (no matter the characteristics of the color ring platform), a fourth color ring providing mode can be adopted. Such as the method shown in fig. 7.

Referring to fig. 3b, in another embodiment, the method of providing a customized ringtone may further include:

before step 301, a customized ring tone platform 300 is included to receive a customized ring tone play request sent by a service server and/or a terminal, where the customized ring tone play request includes a service identifier and/or a user identifier.

Specifically, the customized ringtone playing request may further include: whether a multimedia customized ring tone needs to be provided, a media playing mode supported by a service server, and/or an indication of a providing mode of the customized ring tone for the service. The multimedia customized ring tone refers to a customized ring tone embodied in a multimedia form, such as a video, a picture, and the like. The media playing mode supported by the service server means whether the service server supports the media negotiation between the customized ring tone platform and the terminal by the service server. When the customized ring tone playing request contains the indication of the providing mode of the customized ring tone aiming at the service, the step of analyzing the customized ring tone strategy is executed by the service server.

The embodiment shown in fig. 3a may include, before step 302:

303. when determining that a user signs a customized ring tone aiming at a non-voice service and needs to provide a multimedia polyphonic ringtone, the customized ring tone platform determines the customized ring tone media resource aiming at the service to be played.

304. The customized ring tone platform sends a customized ring tone response message aiming at the service to a service server and/or a terminal, wherein the customized ring tone response message contains whether the multimedia customized ring tone needs to be provided for the terminal and/or an indication of a providing mode of the customized ring tone aiming at the service.

In the above embodiment, when the customized ringtone playing request sent by the service server includes the indication of the provision mode of the customized ringtone for the service, the step of analyzing the customized ringtone policy is performed by the service server. And when the customized ring tone response message contains the providing mode of the customized ring tone aiming at the service, the step of analyzing the customized ring tone strategy is executed by the customized ring tone platform.

The following describes the method for providing polyphonic ringtone for non-voice service in detail by taking customized ringtone as polyphonic ringtone. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are merely examples and that various analog substitutions may be made. In particular, for the color vibration service, the following processes need to be equivalently replaced with the processes and executed subjects of the color vibration service.

Referring to fig. 4, a flowchart of a method for providing a specific embodiment of a color ring is shown. The method takes the analysis of the color ring strategy on a color ring platform as an example. The method comprises the following steps:

steps 401 to 402 are the same as steps 501 and 502 shown in fig. 5, and are not described herein.

403, the service server sends a color ring playing request to the color ring platform; and the color ring platform receives a color ring playing request sent by the service server. .

Specifically, the polyphonic ringtone playing request may include or carry: a service identity and/or a user identity. In some embodiments, the method may further include whether multimedia coloring ring back tones need to be provided or not and a media playing mode supported by the service server.

The service identifier and/or the user identifier are used for indicating a color ring back tone owner and a playing object to be played.

The method includes the steps of determining whether a multimedia color ring is required to be provided, and indicating whether a multimedia color ring content, for example, a video color ring content, is required to be provided.

The media playing mode supported by the service server may specifically include, but is not limited to, the following cases: the service server does not support the media interaction between the color ring platform and the calling terminal through the service server. Or, the service server supports the media interaction between the color ring platform and the calling terminal through the service server. The color ring platform can perform strategy analysis according to the media playing mode supported by the service server.

In other embodiments, after this step 403, it may include:

and the color ring back tone platform determines whether the user signs the color ring back tone according to the service identification and/or the user identification and the color ring back tone signing configuration information carried in the color ring back tone playing request. The step is that the CRBT platform can further confirm the CRBT aiming at the non-voice service in the authentication process of the CRBT aiming at the non-voice service, so as to ensure the safety and the smooth operation of the service.

404 the ring back tone platform performs customized ring back tone policy analysis. Specifically, reference may be made to step 302 in fig. 3, which is not described herein again.

405, if the user is determined to sign the color ring, determining the color ring media resource to be played. If the multimedia coloring ring back tone needs to be provided, the multimedia resource is determined. Specifically, the determination of the media resource to be played refers to determining the specific content of the color ring back tone, such as which song or animation, according to the customized conditions, such as time, called number grouping, and the like.

The subsequent color ring back tone platform can start color ring back tone play through the service server, and can also directly interact with the terminal to start color ring back tone play. The following steps are introduced by taking the example that the color ring playing can be started through the service server.

406, the color ring platform sends a color ring play response message to the service server or the terminal. And the service server or the terminal receives the polyphonic ringtone playing response message sent by the polyphonic ringtone platform.

Specifically, the polyphonic ringtone play response message is used to indicate whether a polyphonic ringtone needs to be provided to the calling terminal subsequently, and/or indicate a polyphonic ringtone providing mode for a polyphonic ringtone of a non-voice service. According to the determined providing mode of the color ring, the color ring playing response message is different, for example:

if the CRBT is in the first CRBT providing mode, the CRBT playing response message can contain corresponding parameters, which indicate that the calling terminal does not need to actively initiate the CRBT request, and the CRBT process is actively initiated by the CRBT platform.

If the second color ring is provided, the color ring playing response message can contain corresponding parameters to indicate that the calling terminal needs to actively initiate a multimedia negotiation request; or media resource information (such as media identification) to be played, which is determined by the color ring platform, is forwarded to the terminal through the service server.

If the third color ring is provided, the color ring playing response message may contain corresponding parameters, which indicate that the terminal needs to play the color ring by URL downloading or streaming media, and the response message needs to contain the media resource URL.

If the fourth color ring is provided, the color ring playing response message may contain the media resource description information to be played, which is determined by the color ring platform.

407. Optionally, the service server sends a message for starting the coloring ring back tone playing to the terminal.

Specifically, after receiving the coloring ring back tone play response message, the service server determines whether the coloring ring back tone needs to be played immediately according to the coloring ring back tone providing mode in the response result.

If the color ring needs to be played and the second, third and fourth color ring providing modes are provided, the service server returns a message for starting the color ring playing to the calling terminal. The method comprises the following steps:

if the second color ring is provided, the message for starting color ring playing can indicate that the calling terminal needs to actively initiate a color ring media negotiation request with the color ring platform, wherein the request can include the address of the color ring platform, the service identifier, and/or the media resource information to be played.

If the third color bell provides the mode, the calling terminal is indicated in the notification message to play the color bell through URL downloading or streaming media mode, and the notification message needs to contain media resource URL.

If the fourth color ring is provided, the service server may send the media resource description information to be played, which is received in the response message 406, to the calling terminal as the color ring media negotiation information, and subsequent media negotiation messages of the calling terminal and the color ring platform all pass through the service server; or the service server adds the description information of the media resource to be played received in the response message 406 as the media negotiation information of the color ring back tone to the service processing message of the service server, and returns the information to the calling terminal, and the media negotiation of the color ring back tone is simultaneously carried out in the subsequent service processing messages.

In other embodiments, if the polyphonic ringtone platform can actively initiate a polyphonic ringtone session to the calling terminal, the step of starting the polyphonic ringtone playing to the terminal by the service server 407 may not be included.

408 the ring back tone platform plays the ring back tone according to the ring back tone providing mode.

And after the 409 service server processes the service, sending a service response to the calling terminal.

410-411 are optional, the service server can instruct the color ring platform to stop playing the color ring, and the color ring platform stops playing the color ring to the calling terminal. Or, after receiving the service response, the calling terminal automatically stops playing the coloring ring back tone. In this case, the service server is not required to send the indication information for stopping playing the color ring back tone to the color ring back tone server.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart of another specific implementation method for providing a color ring. Different from the foregoing embodiment, the method performs the color ring policy analysis on the service server.

501 a service server receives a service request sent by a terminal. The terminal here is the calling terminal.

The service server determines 502 whether to trigger a ring back tone for non-voice services and, if so, proceeds to 503.

Specifically, the step 502 specifically includes: the service server judges whether the called user (referring to the object of the service request) opens (orders) the color ring of the service request according to the service identifier and/or the user identifier and the color ring configuration information; if the color ring is opened, the color ring aiming at the non-voice service is triggered. Otherwise, the processing can be carried out according to the conventional business flow.

In the step 201 of opening the customized ring tone service, it has already been mentioned that the ring tone may be provided or ordered by default for the specific service itself, or may be ordered by the user; the color ring configuration information of the service or the user can be stored in different network devices. Then, the service server can determine whether the related color ring back tone service is customized through the service identifier and/or the user identifier and the stored color ring back tone configuration information. When the color ring configuration information is not stored in the service server, the query can be made to other network equipment in which the color ring configuration information is stored.

503, the service server analyzes the color ring policy. The specific content is similar to 302 and will not be described again.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment shown in fig. 5, after the service server performs the color ring policy analysis and determines the color ring providing manner, different manners may be adopted:

504. and the service server sends a request for playing the color ring back tone to the terminal or the color ring back tone platform. The polyphonic ringtone playing request may include or carry: service identification and/or user identification, and color ring providing mode indication. In some embodiments, the method may further include whether multimedia coloring ring back tones need to be provided.

505. The color ring back tone platform determines the color ring back tone media resource.

506. And performing subsequent polyphonic ringtone interaction and polyphonic ringtone playing according to the determined polyphonic ringtone providing mode. And are not described in detail.

507-509, after the service server completes the service processing and sends the service response to the terminal, the terminal can actively stop the coloring ring back tone playing. Or, after the service server completes the service processing and sends the service processing response to the terminal, a message indicating to stop playing the color ring back tone may be sent to the color ring back tone platform, and the color ring back tone platform stops playing the color ring back tone.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a method for providing color ring for location services (or location services). In this embodiment, the color ring providing method is a first color ring providing method. The method comprises the following steps:

601, a calling terminal (for example, a user a) sends a Location Request MLP SLIR (Mobile Location Protocol Standard Location update Request) Mobile Location Protocol-Standard Location Immediate Request to a Location server, requesting to locate a user B.

602 the location service server determines whether user B is allowed to be located by user a and whether user B subscribes to the location ring back tone function. The location coloring ring back tone function refers to coloring ring back tone aiming at the location service. If location is allowed and user B subscribes to the location ring back tone function, step 603 is entered.

603 the location service server sends the color ring playing request to the color ring platform. The color ring platform receives the color ring playing request. The CRBT playing request comprises a positioning service identifier, a positioning user identifier user A, a positioning user identifier user B and a media resource mode supported by the position service server, wherein the service server does not support the realization of the media interaction between the CRBT platform and the calling terminal through the service server.

Optionally, after step 603. The polyphonic ringtone platform can authenticate the polyphonic ringtone of the positioning service, and details are not repeated.

604 the color ring platform receives the color ring play request and then performs color ring policy analysis.

Specifically, according to the fact that the service server does not support media interaction between the color ring platform and the calling terminal, a first color ring providing mode is determined to be adopted (color ring interaction and color ring playing are completed by initiating media negotiation to the calling terminal by the color ring platform).

605 the polyphonic ringtone platform determines the polyphonic ringtone media resource to be played according to the positioning service identifier and/or the user identifier.

606 the ring back platform returns a ring back play response message to the service server. The polyphonic ringtone playing response message carries an indication that polyphonic ringtone is to be provided for the terminal, and the polyphonic ringtone platform actively initiates a media negotiation request without the initiation of the terminal.

The following 607-609 are processes for completing the playing of the color ring according to the first color ring providing mode:

607 the polyphonic ringtone platform initiates a media negotiation to the terminal, that is, sends a Session establishment request, which includes SDP (Session Description Protocol) of polyphonic ringtone media resources.

The 608 terminal returns a session establishment response to the color ring platform, which contains the SDP information of the terminal as the negotiated response information to the color ring media resource.

609 after the session is established, the color ring platform plays color ring to the terminal.

610-613, processing the service, after the positioning service is processed, the position service server sends a positioning response MLP SLIA (Mobile Location Protocol Standard Location immediate Answer) Mobile positioning Protocol-Standard positioning instant response to the calling terminal, and instructs the color ring platform to stop playing the color ring; the system stops playing the polyphonic ringtone and removes the session established between the polyphonic ringtone platform and the terminal.

Fig. 7 is a flowchart of another method for providing color ring for Multimedia Message Service (MMS). In this embodiment, the system initially sets the ring back tone providing mode to be the second customized ring back tone providing mode (or referred to as the second ring back tone providing mode), i.e. the step of not requiring the ring back tone policy analysis.

In the color ring for the multimedia message service, the color ring multimedia can be used to replace the receipt of the multimedia message. Or when the multimedia message is sent to the receiver, the color vibration multimedia is used as the prompt tone of the multimedia message to replace the original message prompt tone or replace the prompt message of the original multimedia message.

The method comprises the following steps:

701 a calling terminal (for example, a user A) sends a request of multimedia message to a called terminal (for example, a user B) from an MMS server.

702 the MMS server sends the multimedia message to the called terminal and receives the receiving response fed back by the called terminal.

703 the MMS server judges that the calling terminal needs to receive the MMS receipt report, and the called terminal signs a contract to send the MMS receipt in a color ring way. If so, then 704 is entered.

704 sends a CRBT play request to the CRBT platform. The polyphonic ringtone playing request comprises a calling service identifier (namely a multimedia message service identifier), a calling terminal user identifier (such as an MMS sender user A) and a called terminal user identifier (such as an MMS receiver user B).
