Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
For ease of understanding, a brief description of the prior art process of transmitting a multimedia message for a single user will be first described with reference to fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a transmission flow chart of a multimedia message. As shown in fig. 1, both the network operator 1 and the network operator 2 are deployed with a wireless application protocol (wireless application protocol, WAP) gateway, a multimedia messaging service center (multimedia messaging service center, MMSC) and an interworking gateway (interworking gateway, IWGW) on the network side.
Wherein the WAP gateway technically supports multimedia messaging service (multimedia messaging service, MMS) specifications to support multimedia messaging services. And establishing a data access channel between the MMS user agent and the MMS relay server through the WAP gateway, thereby supporting the operations of sending, receiving, notifying and the like of the multimedia information.
MMSCs may be used to store and process multimedia messages, including message input and output, address resolution, notification, reporting, etc.
The IWGW supports interworking between different network operators.
As shown in fig. 1, for convenience of distinction, a WAP gateway deployed on the side of the network operator 1 is denoted as WAP gateway #1, MMSC as MMSC #1, and IWGW as IWGW #1; the WAP gateway deployed on the network operator 2 side is denoted as WAP gateway #2, MMSC as MMSC #2, and IWGW as IWGW #2. Wherein the network operator 1 and the network operator 2 are different network operators.
WAP gateway #1 and MMSC #1 of network operator 1 are connected, MMSC #1 and IWGW #1 are connected, WAP gateway #2 and MMSC #2 of network operator 2 are connected, MMSC #2 and IWGW #2 are connected, and IWGW #1 of network operator 1 is connected with IWGW #2 of network operator 2.
In the process of transmitting the multimedia message across the network by the user, the multimedia message is mainly processed and stored based on the MMSC, and then the multimedia message is forwarded to the IWGWGWs of different network operators through the IWGWGWs so as to realize the forwarding of the multimedia message.
Taking the architecture shown in fig. 1 as an example, assume that terminal a is a subscriber of network operator 1 and terminal B is a subscriber of network operator 2. When a user a sends a multimedia message to a terminal B of a user B through the terminal a, the multimedia message of the terminal a is sent to an mmsc#1 to which the terminal a belongs through a WAP gateway#1, the mmsc#1 can send the multimedia message to an iwgw#1, then the iwgw#1 forwards the multimedia message to an iwgw#2, the iwgw#2 sends the multimedia message to an mmsc#2 to which the terminal B belongs, and the multimedia message is sent to the terminal B of the user B through the mmsc#2.
Based on the above description, in the prior art, the cross-network transmission of the multimedia message is the forwarding of a plurality of network elements, and the cross-network forwarding needs to be performed by following the access rule of the network operator of the receiving terminal. If the multimedia message needs to be sent in groups, for example, an enterprise user sends the multimedia message to user terminals of different network operators, then the enterprise user needs to respectively interface with a plurality of different network operators, and the access rules of the different network operators are followed.
In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a forwarding method of a multimedia message, where a network operator of a sending terminal sends a notification message including a uniform resource locator (uniform resource locator, URL) for downloading the multimedia message to a receiving terminal through a management module, so that the receiving terminal downloads the multimedia message with the URL, thereby implementing mass sending of the multimedia message, and avoiding the problem of complex access process caused by the need of respectively interfacing different network operators; nor is it necessary to transcode the multimedia message. In addition, the multimedia message is stored in the cloud server in consideration of the limitation of the MMSC storage capacity, so that the real-time capacity expansion can be realized, and the upper limit of the message capacity is greatly improved.
To facilitate understanding of embodiments of the present application, a scenario suitable for embodiments of the present application will be described in detail first with reference to fig. 2.
Fig. 2 illustrates an exemplary communication system of a forwarding method of a multimedia message according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the communication system 200 may include a transmitting terminal 210, a cloud server 220, a short message gateway 231 and a short message gateway 232, and a plurality of receiving terminals 241 to 245. Wherein the network operator of at least one of the receiving terminals 241 to 245 is not the network operator of the transmitting terminal.
For example, the transmitting terminal 210 shown in the drawing may be a contracted terminal of a first operator with the receiving terminals 241 and 242, the receiving terminals 243 to 245 may be contracted terminals of a second operator, and the first operator and the second operator may be different operators.
It should be understood that transmission and reception are relative terms and should not constitute any limitation as to the type of terminal. The transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal may be the same type of terminal equipment, such as mobile phones, tablets, etc.; but also different types of terminal devices. The embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.
It should be understood that fig. 2 is only an example, showing a sms gateway and a subscription terminal under two different operators. This should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the application in any way. The application is not limited to the number of operators and the number of contracted terminals of each operator.
The cloud server 220 may further include a management module, a multimedia message adapter, and a service acceptance module, where the multimedia message adapter is deployed in the management module, as shown in fig. 3.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic frame diagram of the management module and the service acceptance module. It should be understood that the management module and the service acceptance module shown in fig. 3 may be processing modules deployed at the cloud server by an operator, and are divided into different modules based on different functions. The application is not limited to the naming of each module, the specific physical form and the like.
As shown in fig. 3, the management module may be configured to implement functions that may be used for key generation, content template auditing, content storage, report pushing, billing settlement, etc. Based on different functions, the management module can be further divided into a multimedia message adapter, a key management sub-module, a template management sub-module, a content storage sub-module, a charging junction sub-module, a result statistics sub-module, a report management sub-module and the like.
Wherein the multimedia message adapter is operable to receive the received multimedia message from the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal information, and to determine a network operator of the receiving terminal based on the receiving terminal information. After the multimedia message adapter determines the network operator of the receiving terminal, the multimedia message adapter may be further configured to send the multimedia message to a service acceptance module of the corresponding network operator.
The service acceptance module can be used for storing the multimedia message and providing a content download service for the user of the receiving terminal. Based on different functions, the service acceptance module can be further divided into a multimedia message receiving sub-module, a content storage sub-module, a short message issuing sub-module and the like.
Wherein the multimedia message receiving sub-module may be configured to receive the multimedia message pushed from the management module. The content storage sub-module may be configured to store the received multimedia message in a cloud server. The short message issuing sub-module can be used for issuing the received notification short message to the short message gateway of the corresponding operator. It should be understood that the sub-modules included in the management module and the service acceptance module provided in the embodiments of the present application are only exemplarily described in connection with fig. 3, and the management module and the service acceptance module may further include more or fewer sub-modules with other functions. The embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited thereto.
The following describes in detail a method for forwarding a multimedia message according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to fig. 4. It should be appreciated that the method shown in fig. 4 may be applied in an architecture as shown in fig. 2 and 3.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a forwarding method of a multimedia message according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the method may include the following steps 401 to 410.
In step 401, the management module receives a multimedia message from a transmitting terminal.
The network operator of the sending terminal may be referred to as a first network operator, and the management module may be a management module deployed by the first network operator on the cloud server. The management module may provide access modes such as a WEB page (WEB) and an application program interface (application programming interface, API), which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
In the embodiment of the present application, the multimedia message may be a multimedia message to be sent to a plurality of receiving terminals. The multimedia message is a hypertext transfer protocol (hyper text transfer protocol, HTTP) based multimedia message. The network operator of the transmitting terminal may be referred to as a first network operator, and the management module may be a management module that the first network operator deploys at the cloud server, where the network operator of at least one receiving terminal of the plurality of receiving terminals is not the first network operator.
In addition, in order to avoid the illegal user from using the group sending function of the multimedia message, the sending terminal may also send a check code to the management module, where the check code may be used to check the sending terminal.
The check code may be carried in a multimedia message, for example, and sent to the management module in step 401, or may be sent separately to the management module before step 401. The embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto. The management module may execute the following method flow after completing the verification of the sending terminal and under the condition that the verification is qualified. The generation rule of the check code may be, for example: a check code is generated based on one or more of the key, URL, and parameters. The key may be pre-negotiated by the sending terminal and the management module. The parameters may be, for example, american standard code for information interchange (American standard code for information interchange, ASCII) value ordered connections. The parameter value is null or null string, and the check code and the specified parameter do not participate in the generation of the check code.
The check code may be cryptographically generated, for example, by an existing encryption algorithm including, but not limited to, a message digest algorithm (message digest algorithm, MD5), a data encryption standard (data encrytion standard, DES), etc., as examples and embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.
An example of a check code is given by way of example below:
sign＝MD5(“PORT_SECRET_KEY/api/feedbacka＝100&b＝test”)。
The sign represents a check code, which can be calculated through an MD5 algorithm based on one or more of a private key and parameters, API represents a management module to which a transmitting terminal is connected through an interface of an API, feedback represents a URL, a=100 & b=test represents a randomly generated parameter, and a plurality of parameters are separated by "&" symbols.
In step 402, the management module receives receiving terminal information from a transmitting terminal.
The receiving terminal information is used for indicating the receiving terminal of the multimedia message, for example, can indicate the mobile phone number, the short enterprise number and the like of the receiving terminal of the multimedia message, and can be used for uniquely identifying the data of the receiving terminal.
In one possible design, the transmitting terminal may transmit the receiving terminal information along with the multimedia message. For example, the transmitting terminal integrates the receiving terminal information and the multimedia message into the same message to transmit according to a predefined content template. In other words, step 401 and step 402 may be combined into one step.
Of course, the multimedia message and the receiving terminal information may be transmitted separately. In this case, step 401 and step 402 may be performed separately.
Alternatively, the reception terminal information may not be transmitted. For example, for a certain enterprise user, the receiving terminal of the mass-sent multimedia message may be unchanged for a period of time. The management module may locally store the mass-sending object of the multimedia message of the enterprise user, that is, the receiving terminal of the multimedia message. The management module can correspond the multimedia message to the receiving terminal once receiving the multimedia message.
In step 403, the management module stores the multimedia message in the cloud server.
The management module can reduce the occupation of the storage space of the MMSC by storing the multimedia message in the cloud server, thereby realizing real-time capacity expansion and greatly improving the upper limit of the message capacity.
In addition, the cloud server can be accessed by devices of different network operators, and is not limited to the same-network terminal or different-network terminals. The receiving terminal can download the multimedia message from the cloud server as long as the receiving terminal acquires the download address.
In step 404, the management module generates a notification message including a download address of the multimedia message.
Illustratively, the download address of the multimedia message may be a URL. The management module generates a notification message for downloading the URL of the multimedia message. It should be understood that URL is one way to specify the location of information on the web service of the internet, in other words URL is used to indicate the download address of the multimedia message. This should not be construed as limiting the application in any way. The present application does not exclude the possibility of carrying out the same or similar functions in other ways in existing and future technologies.
The network operator, where there may be at least one of the plurality of receiving terminals, is not the first network operator. Alternatively, there may be at least one of the plurality of receiving terminals, whose network operator is different from the network operator of the transmitting terminal. In other words, there may be a need for trans-network forwarding of multimedia messages sent by the sending terminal.
The management module may generate the notification message based on the network operators of the receiving terminals due to different sms gateway interface protocols supported by the network operators.
Optionally, the plurality of receiving terminals includes a first receiving terminal, the network operator of the first receiving terminal is a first network operator, and the notification message includes a first notification message for transmitting the transmitting terminal.
Because the first receiving terminal and the sending terminal are signing terminals of the same network operator, the first notification message generated by the management module is generated based on the short message gateway interface protocol of the first network operator, and transcoding and other operations are not needed.
Optionally, the plurality of receiving terminals includes a second receiving terminal, the network operator of the second receiving terminal is a second network operator, and the notification message includes a second notification message for transmitting the second terminal.
Since the second receiving terminal and the sending terminal are subscription terminals of different network operators, the second notification message generated by the management module is generated based on the short message gateway interface protocol of the second network operator. For example, the management module may generate the first notification message and then perform a transcoding operation to obtain the second notification message supported by the sms gateway interface protocol of the second network operator.
It will be appreciated that either the first notification message or the second notification message includes a URL for downloading the multimedia message. In other words, the valid information in both is the same.
In one possible implementation, the management module may classify the network operators of the receiving terminals according to the mobile phone number and the mobile phone number segment of each receiving terminal. For example, network operators of the receiving terminal can be classified into a same network and a different network, and for the same network terminal, a first notification message can be generated; for a heterogeneous network terminal, a second notification message may be generated.
It should be noted that the figures are only examples, and the steps of the management module generating the first notification message and the second notification message are shown. But this should not be construed as limiting the application in any way. The receiving terminal of the multimedia message may also be the same network terminal or different network terminals, in which case the management module only needs to generate the first notification message or the second notification message.
In addition, the notification message may further include receiving terminal information, so that the short message gateway issues the notification message to the corresponding receiving terminal based on the receiving terminal information.
In step 405, the management module transmits a notification message to a plurality of receiving terminals.
As described above, the notification message sent to each receiving terminal may be forwarded to each receiving terminal via the short message gateway of the network operator of each receiving terminal.
In this embodiment, the management module generates the first notification message for the same-network terminal and the different-network terminal, and the management module may send the first notification message and the second notification message to the same-network terminal and the different-network terminal, respectively. Step 405 may include step 4051, the management module sending a first notification message to the first receiving terminal, and step 4052, the management module sending a second notification message to the second receiving terminal.
As shown, the first notification message may reach the first receiving terminal via a first sms gateway of the first network operator. The second notification message may reach the second receiving terminal via a second short message gateway of the second network operator. Optionally, the second notification message may be arrived via forwarding by the second service acceptance module during the process of being sent to the second sms gateway by the management module, and the second service acceptance module may acquire and store the receiving terminal information from the second notification message.
It should be understood that the receiving terminal is not limited to the first receiving terminal and the second receiving terminal shown herein, and that the different network terminals may also belong to different network operators. The application is not limited in this regard.
In step 406, each receiving terminal sends a download request to the service acceptance module based on the notification message to request downloading of the multimedia message.
As shown, step 406 may include step 4061, where the first receiving terminal sends a download request to the first service acceptance module based on the first notification message; and step 4062, the second receiving terminal sends a download request to the second service acceptance module based on the second notification message.
Optionally, the download request carries the URL, so that each service acceptance module obtains the multimedia message from the cloud server based on the URL.
In step 407, the service acceptance module of each network operator obtains the multimedia message from the cloud server.
As shown, step 407 may include step 4071, where the first service acceptance module obtains the multimedia message from the cloud server, and step 4072, where the second service acceptance module obtains the multimedia message from the cloud server.
In step 408, the service acceptance module of each network operator transmits a multimedia message to the receiving terminal.
As shown, step 408 may include step 4081, the first service acceptance module sending a multimedia message to the first receiving terminal, and step 4082, the second service acceptance module sending a multimedia message to the second receiving terminal.
It should be understood that the steps above are described exemplarily in connection with the first receiving terminal and the second receiving terminal, but this should not constitute any limitation of the present application. The present application does not limit the number of receiving terminals and the number of network operators subscribed to by the receiving terminals.
In order to further understand the receiving condition of the multimedia message, the management module may further execute step 409 to obtain a message sending result.
The message transmission result may include, for example, a transmission case of the notification message and a download case of the multimedia message by the receiving terminal. The management module may obtain the sending condition of the notification message from the short message gateway of the same network (e.g. the first short message gateway) and the short message gateway of the different network (e.g. the second short message gateway).
For example, in the sending process of the first notification message, the first notification message may be forwarded to the sending terminal through the first short message gateway, and the first short message gateway may generate a sending result of the first notification message according to the sending condition of the first notification message. In the sending process of the second notification message, the second notification message is forwarded to the second terminal through the second short message gateway, and the second short message gateway generates a sending result of the second notification message according to the sending condition of the second notification message. The management module can obtain the sending condition of the notification message from the first short message gateway and the second short message gateway respectively.
The management module may also obtain the download condition of the multimedia message by the receiving terminal from the service acceptance module of the same network (e.g., the first service acceptance module) and the service acceptance module of the different network (e.g., the second service acceptance module).
For example, when the receiving terminal downloads the multimedia message from the cloud, the service acceptance module may monitor the downloading condition of the receiving terminal on the multimedia message.
For example, the management module may obtain, from the first service acceptance module, a download condition of the multimedia message by the first receiving terminal. The management module may also obtain a download condition of the multimedia message by the second receiving terminal from the second service acceptance module.
In step 410, the management module transmits a multimedia message transmission report to the transmitting terminal, the report indicating the reception situation of the multimedia message by each receiving terminal.
As shown in the figure, after the management module obtains the sending result of the notification short message and the downloading condition of the multimedia message, the management module can send a multimedia message sending report to the sending terminal.
Alternatively, when the transmitting terminal fails to receive the notification message, or the multimedia message is downloaded, the transmitting terminal may retransmit the notification message again to the receiving terminal that did not successfully download the multimedia message.
Based on the scheme, when the multimedia message is forwarded across the network, the multimedia message can be conveniently acquired by each terminal in a mode of sending the download address to each receiving terminal, and the multimedia message is not needed to be realized through MMSC (minimum mean square root) butting among different network operators, so that the process of forwarding the multimedia message across the network can be simplified to a certain extent, and the sending efficiency can be greatly improved especially in the scene of mass sending the multimedia message.
