Second Embodiment FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a CRBT service management method for an IP multimedia subsystem according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the CRBT service management method for the IP multimedia subsystem according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps: Step 201: The calling user initiates a call, and the called number is a CRBT self-service access code. The terminal UE A sends an access message Invite to the calling core network device AS_A, wherein the calling media SDP (Session 4 Protocol) with the calling terminal UE-A; Step 202: 8_ According to the number analysis And sending the Invite message to the CRBT service server, where the media sdpA is carried by the UE_A; Step 203: The CRBT service server triggers the CRBT self-service service, sends an Invite message to the media server, and starts media negotiation. Step 204: After media negotiation, the media server returns a 200 Ok message (ie, a response to the Invite message) to the CRBT service server, where the media SDP has been negotiated with the UE_A; Step 205: The CRBT service server sends a 200 Ok message (ie, The response of the Invite message is sent to AS_A with the media sdpCA; Step 206: AS_A sends a 200 Ok message (ie, a response to the Invite message) to UE A with the media sdpCA; Step 207: UE A sends an Ack message to AS_A Indicates the confirmation of the 200 Ok message (ie, the response to the Invite message); Step 208: AS_A sends an Ack message to the CRBT service server, indicating the confirmation of the 200 Ok message (ie, the response to the Invite message); Step 209: CRBT service The server sends an Ack message to the media server, indicating that the 200 Ok message (response to the Invite message) is confirmed; the CRBT service server starts to instruct the media server to play according to the service logic, and the calling user starts to hear the CRBT self-service prompt tone, and according to The prompt tone performs a button operation, and the CRBT service server processes the button according to the button; Step 210: The calling user hangs up, UE A sends a Bye message to AS_A, and requests to end the call. Step 211: AS_A sends the end message Bye to the CRBT service server. Step 212: The CRBT service server sends a Bye message to the media server. Step 213: Media The server replies with a 200 OK message (ie, a response to the Bye message) to the CRBT service server, and releases the call resource; Step 214: The CRBT service server replies with a 200 OK message (ie, responds to the Bye message) to AS_A, and releases the call resource; 215: AS_A replies with a 200 OK message (ie, a response to the Bye message) to UE A, and releases the call resource. The step of receiving the user button operation by the CRBT service server in step 209 includes: sending the button operation to the media server through the media stream, and then reporting the message to the CRBT service server by the media server. As shown in FIG. 3, step 4 209 mainly includes the following steps: Step 301: The CRBT service server sends an Info message to the media server according to the service logic, indicating the playback and receiving the number; Step 4: 302: The media server starts to play and collect the number, and responds with 200 Ok message (for the Info message) The response is sent to the CRBT service server; the user hears the prompt, and according to the prompt button, the button information is sent to the media server by the MGW (Media Gateway) through the media stream; Step 303: The media server sends an Info message to the CRBT service server. The message carries the received number; Step 304: The CRBT service server replies with a 200 Ok message (response to the Info message) to the media server; Step 305: The media server sends an Info message to the CRBT service server, indicating that the playback ends; : The CRBT service server replies with a 200 Ok message (response to the Info message) to the media server. After the CRBT service server performs logical processing according to the key operation, the processes of steps 301 to 306 are continued. The CRBT service management method for the IP multimedia subsystem according to the second embodiment of the present invention achieves the purpose of enabling the user to directly manage the CRBT service, thereby achieving the technical effect of saving human resources.
