Description

Method and device for realizing message type service routing

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of data communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for implementing a message type service route.

Background technique

Since 2000, China Mobile has promoted the SMS business. In less than ten years, SMS has developed rapidly in China with geometric progression, which has changed the concept of national information exchange and provided an important communication and promotion for the development of Chinese enterprises. platform.

Existing enterprises generally access the SMS gateway to serve its users. As shown in FIG. 1, when the M company sends a downlink message to the user, the M company 10 sends a message to the short message gateway 11, and the short message gateway 11 finds the short message center 12 to which the user who owns the called number belongs according to the called number route. The short message gateway 11 then sends a message to the short message center 12 to which the user belongs, and the short message center 12 then uses the wireless network environment to send a message to the user's terminal. In practical applications, the downlink message may be a marketing material of the enterprise, and may be a holiday care message for a specific user, or a user information change notification or the like. For the case where the user sends an uplink message to the M company, the user sends an uplink message to the short message center to which the user belongs, and the short message center is routed to the short message gateway according to the called number, and the short message gateway routes to the access point of the M company according to the called number. , M company receives the user's uplink message and handles it accordingly. In practical applications, the uplink message may be a query by the user for his or her information, or a confirmation of certain orders, or a recommendation for a book. If the enterprise wants to interact with the user through MMS, it needs to access the MMS gateway. The SMS gateway and SMS center corresponding to Figure 1 should be the MMS gateway and MMS center.

However, as the size of the company grows and each branch within a large company needs to provide services to its users separately, there will be an operator's demand for multiple branch structures within the enterprise to access at the same time. In the prior art, it is generally required to separately apply for a new access number in a branch structure in which a company separately provides services for respective users, which greatly increases the cost of additional development of the enterprise.

A plurality of branch offices of a large company need to separately serve the needs of their users. The present invention provides a method for implementing message type service routing by using a calling number and a called number, so that the entire company can use the unified standard access number. Each branch office can conveniently provide services for its own users.

The technical solution of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

2 is a flow chart of a method for implementing message type service routing according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the method for implementing message type service routing in the embodiment of the present invention includes:

Step S201: The route of the calling number of the user number and the unified access number of the service provider as the called number is configured in advance to point to a branch office serving the user inside the service provider, and the route is stored in the main In the routing table; in addition, the pre-configured service provider's unified access number is used as the route of the called number to the service provider headquarters, and the route is stored in the called routing table.

In this embodiment, two routing tables, that is, a primary called routing table and a called routing table are stored.

Step S202: After receiving the uplink message sent by the user, matching the calling number and the called number of the uplink message sent by the user with the route stored in the primary and called routing tables;

The calling number and the called number of the uplink message are the number of the user and the unified access number of the service provider, respectively. In this embodiment, each branch office as the called service provider uses the unified access number of the service provider, so even if a branch office inside the service provider is dedicated to A user performs message interaction. When the user sends an uplink message, the called number also uses the unified access number of the service provider.

In the primary and secondary routing table, the route matching the calling number and the called number of the uplink message sent by the user is queried. If the matching is successful, step S203 is performed; if the matching is unsuccessful, step S204 is performed.

The unsuccessful matching in the step may include that the calling number matching is unsuccessful or the called number matching is unsuccessful, or both the calling number and the called number are unsuccessful.

In the matching process, the longest matching algorithm can be used to match the calling number and the called number of the uplink message sent by the user with the route in the primary and secondary routing tables. For example, there are three routes in the primary and secondary routing tables: the calling number of the first route is 023, the called number is 10655023; the calling number of the second route is 0236666, and the called number is 10655023; the third route The calling number is 0236666 and the called number is 106550231234. If the calling number of the upstream message is 02366661234 and the called number is 106550231234, the third route is matched. If the calling number of the upstream message is 02366661234 and the called number is 106550235678, the second route is matched; The calling number is 02312345678, and the called number is 106550231234, which matches the first route.

The longest matching algorithm is used in the matching process in the primary and secondary routing tables. It is allowed to configure the routing with the relationship, so that the related routing module becomes more flexible when searching for routes. For example, in the primary and called routing tables, there are two routes containing the relationship. The calling number of the first route is 023, the called number is 10655023, the calling number of the second route is 0234, and the called number is 10655023. The calling number 023 of the first route (the entire area of Chongqing) contains 0234 (a few districts and counties in Chongqing), so that users in small areas with special needs in large areas can be served by specific service providers. .

Step S203: Send the uplink message sent by the user to the branch office serving the user inside the service provider pointed to by the route with successful matching in the main called routing table in step S202;

Step S204: When the matching in step S202 is unsuccessful, the called number of the uplink message sent by the user is matched with the route stored in the called routing table, and if the matching is successful, the step is executed. Step S205, if the matching is unsuccessful, step S206 is performed.

In this embodiment, by step S202, it is first queried whether there is a route matching the calling number and the called number of the uplink message in the primary and secondary routing tables, and if yes, because the primary and the called routing table are pre- The route to the branch providing the service provided by the service is stored, so if the matching succeeds in step S202, the uplink message sent by the user can be sent to the branch office serving the user inside the service provider through the route. If the matching in step S202 is unsuccessful, the called number of the uplink message sent by the user is matched with the route in the called routing table.

In the matching process, the longest matching algorithm can be used to match the called number of the uplink message sent by the user with the route in the called routing table. For example, there are two routes in the called routing table. The called number of the first route is 10655023, and the called number of the second route is 106550231234. If the called number of the upstream message is 106550231234, the second route is matched. If the called number of the uplink message is 106550235678, the first route is matched.

The longest matching algorithm is used in the matching process in the called routing table, which allows the configuration to have a route containing the relationship, which makes the related routing module more flexible when searching for routes. For example, there are two routes in the called routing table that contain the relationship. The called number of the first route is 10655023, the called number of the second route is 1065502351, and the calling number of the first route is 10655023. The basic access number of the SP) includes 1065502351 (a specific service provided by the SP, such as borrowing other platforms to provide services to its users), so that the specific service of the SP can be sent to the provider platform that provides the specific service.

Step S205: When the matching succeeds in step S204, the uplink message sent by the user is sent to the headquarters of the service provider pointed to by the route with successful matching in step S204;

The route in the called routing table pre-stores the service provider's unified access number as the called number and points to the service provider's headquarters. After the matching succeeds in step S204, the route may be successfully matched according to the matching. The uplink message sent by the user is sent to the service provider headquarters.

Step S206: When the matching in step 204 is unsuccessful, the message sending process is terminated, and a response message containing the error code as a routing failure may be sent to the short message center.

When the matching in step S204 is unsuccessful, it means that there is no route matching the uplink message sent by the user in the routing table of the called party and the routing table of the called routing table, and the terminal may be terminated. Stop the sending process.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an apparatus for implementing message type service routing according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the device 30 for implementing message-type service routing in the embodiment of the present invention includes: a configuration management module 301, a message receiving module 302, a calling and called routing module 303, a called routing module 304, and a message sending module 305. among them,

The configuration management module is configured to configure the user number as the calling number and the unified access number of the service provider (hereinafter also referred to as M company) as the route of the called number as a branch pointing to the service provider for the user. The organization stores the route in the primary and secondary routing tables. The configuration of the calling and called number routes in the configuration management module is specifically: if the calling number is the user number segment of the A, and the called number is the access number of the M company, the message type service is sent to the branch office of the A; If the calling number is the user number segment of D and the called number is the access number of company M, the message type service is sent to the branch office of D. By analogy, the calling and called number routes are configured for all branches. The configuration management module also keeps the route whose called number is the access number of company M to the headquarters of the company M. That is, the configuration management module is further configured to configure the route of the service provider's unified access number as the called number in advance. The service provider headquarters stores the route in the called routing table.

The message receiving module is configured to receive the message sent from the external network element, and hand the message to the relevant routing module to search for the route, for example, receiving the uplink message sent by the user, and handing the uplink message sent by the user to the relevant route. After receiving the user uplink message, the message receiving module first hands the message to the calling and called routing module to find a route.

The calling and called routing module is configured to match the calling number and the called number of the uplink message sent by the user with the route stored in the primary called routing table. The calling and called routing module queries whether the calling number matches in the calling and called routing table. If the matching, the called number also matches. If the called number also matches, the routing is successful, and the message sending module is notified; If the routing module does not match the calling number, or the calling number does not match the called number, the uplink message is forwarded to the called routing module to continue searching for the route.

The longest matching algorithm is used in the matching process in the calling and called routing tables. This allows the configuration management module to configure routes with inclusive relationships, making the related routing modules more flexible when searching for routes.

The message sending module is configured to send a message to the corresponding network element according to the matched route. When the matching of the calling and called routing modules is successful, the message sending module sends an uplink message sent by the user to the A branch that serves the user within the service provider that the successful route points to.

When the matching of the calling and called routing modules is unsuccessful, the called routing module matches the called number of the uplink message sent by the user with the route stored in the called routing table. The called routing module queries whether the called number matches in the called routing table. If it matches, the routing succeeds and the message sending module is notified. The message sending module sends a message according to the service route to the corresponding service provider access point (maybe a geographical user without a branch office sends a message to the headquarters of the enterprise, and may also be an uplink message of other common service providers). If the called routing module does not match the record in the called routing table, the final route fails. The message sending module sends an error response or a failed status report to the network element that sent the message according to the need.

The longest matching algorithm is used in the matching process in the called routing table. This allows the configuration management module to configure the routing containing the relationship, making the related routing module more flexible when searching for routes.

The following uses an SMS service as an example to illustrate an application example of a method for implementing message-type service routing according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a service method for implementing message type service routing according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 4, the branch office of Company A is responsible for providing services to users in Area A, and the branch office of Company D is responsible for providing services to users of Area D. Users in other regions are served by the headquarters of M Company. For the downlink message, the branch offices directly send messages to their users, and the process is the same as the process in Figure 1. However, the method for implementing message type service routing in the embodiment of the present invention is required when the local user uplinks the message.

First, configure the service route of the uplink message through the configuration management module in advance:

Al, configure the calling and called number routing R1, the calling number 0236666 to the called number 10001 route to the M company A branch office first service provider SP1;

A2, configure the called number route R2, the called number 10001 points to the second service provider SP2 of the M company headquarters;

A3. Configure the calling and called number routing R3, and the calling number 0239999 to the called number 10001 is directed to the third service provider SP3 of the branch office service provider of the M company.

If the A user 02366661234 sends a message to the called number 10001, the short message center 12 receives the message and sends it to the short message gateway 11; after receiving the message, the message receiving module of the short message gateway 11 first hands the message to the calling and called routing module; The calling and called routing module queries the route in the primary and secondary routing tables. The route succeeds and returns the route R1, and then the primary called routing module forwards the message to the message sending module; the message sending module sends the message to the branch office service provider SP1 of the company A according to the route R1 for processing.

If the B user 02377771234 sends a message to the called number 10001, the short message center 12 receives the message and sends it to the short message gateway 11; after receiving the message, the message receiving module of the short message gateway 11 first delivers the message to the calling and called routing module. The calling and called routing module queries the routing in the primary and secondary routing tables. After the primary and secondary routing modules fail to route, the message receiving module forwards the message to the called party to continue searching for the route; the called routing module is based on the called routing table. The called number finds the route, the route succeeds and returns the route R2, and then the called routing module delivers the message to the message sending module; the message sending module sends the message to the M company headquarters SP2 for processing according to the route R2.

If the C user 02388981234 sends a message to the called number 10002, the short message center 12 receives the message and sends it to the short message gateway 11; after receiving the message, the message receiving module of the short message gateway 11 first hands the message to the calling and called routing module; The calling and called routing module queries the routing in the calling and called routing tables. After the primary and secondary routing modules fail to route, the message receiving module sends the message to the called party to continue searching for the route; the called routing module is based on the called routing table. If the called number finds the route, if the final route fails, the called routing module terminates the message flow, and notifies the message sending module to send a response message whose error code is a route failure to the short message center.

If the D user 02399991234 sends a message to the called number 10001, the short message center 12 receives the message and sends it to the short message gateway 11; after receiving the message, the message receiving module of the short message gateway 11 first delivers the message to the calling and called routing module. The calling and called routing module queries the route in the calling and called routing table, the route is successful and returns the route R3, and then the calling and routing module sends the message to the message sending module; the message sending module sends the message to the M company D according to the route R3. Branch service provider SP3 processing.

The method and device for implementing message type service routing provided by the present invention can support the use of the same service access number by each branch of the regional group company, and provide services for the users to which they belong.

It is to be understood that the foregoing is a description of the exemplary embodiments of the invention, and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Industrial applicability

The invention provides a method and device for implementing message-based service routing, which enables an enterprise to use a unified access number to implement separate message interaction between its internal branches and its users, and does not require individual branches to apply separately.
