Embodiments of the invention

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the network architecture of the Internet signaling system as the next-generation communication mode is implemented by superimposing a trusted signaling network on the Internet, and the user information, number resources, usage habits, management systems, and services of the telecommunication operator are used. The telecommunication operation mode such as the system is seamlessly integrated into the Internet, and a trusted signaling channel that is logically isolated from all the content transmitted on the existing Internet is randomly established on the Internet for the communication parties, and then passes through the trusted signaling channel. To transmit the signaling of the communication system, the reliability of the signaling and the corresponding communication behavior can be ensured.

FIG. 1 shows a network architecture implemented by an Internet-based signaling system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of description, only parts related to the present embodiment are shown.

Referring to FIG. 1, an Internet-based signaling system in an embodiment of the present invention is an Internet signaling switching system network (Internet) Signaling Switch Network, ISSN) is realized by superimposing a signaling network on the Internet (Internet), and is composed of an operation part and a terminal part at a physical level, as shown in the ISSN operation signaling platform of the operation end and the ISSN terminals 1 and 2 of the operation end shown in FIG. ISSN terminal signaling platform A, B. The operating part is generally operated by the operator, supports the access of a large number of ISSN terminals, and provides a trusted connection service for the ISSN terminal.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the logical layering principle of the Internet-based signaling system provided by the embodiment of the present invention, which at least includes basic signaling 21, real-time switching signaling 22, logical isolation 23, and may further include non-real-time forwarding signaling. 24. When the Internet-based signaling system is applied to the triple play, the triple play process auxiliary signaling 25 may also be included. The functional principle of each logical layer is described below.

In the embodiment of the present invention, each ISSN terminal has a unique ISSN. The ID number is used as an identifier different from other non-ISSN terminals, and each ISSN terminal needs to be associated with a PSTN telephone number/mobile communication telephone number. The result of the basic signaling 21 can be used to manage the services of opening, changing, and changing the number of the ISSN terminal. When the ISSN terminal accesses, the basic signaling 21 automatically sets the ISSN of the ISSN terminal. The ID number, the PSTN telephone number/mobile communication telephone number of the ISSN terminal are dynamically associated with an IP number.

The basic signaling 21 simultaneously records the behavior status of all the accessed ISSN terminals, such as the call record, the duration of the call, and the like, so that the behavior status of the communication parties is non-repudiation, and the real-time exchange signaling 22 confirms that the call is valid when the basic signaling 21 is valid. Establish an Internet-based content channel between the calling party and the called party to provide content services under a trusted connection.

The logical isolation 23 combines signaling (such as basic signaling 21, real-time switching signaling 22, non-real-time forwarding signaling 24, and triple-network convergence process auxiliary signaling 25) with all content transmitted on the existing Internet in one physical space but Logically isolated from each other, a trusted signaling channel for transmitting signaling is randomly established. The ISSN system based on the Internet-based signaling system provided by the embodiment of the present invention is a self-contained closed network system parasitic on the Internet, which is beneficial to improve its own security. FIG. 3 shows the logical isolation 23 and other subsystems. Between the logical relationship, it can be seen that the logical isolation 23 is equivalent to building an "invisible armor" on the Internet for the ISSN system. Figure 4 shows the implementation principle of logical isolation 23, which is described as follows:

When the calling party A has a communication connection request, the logical isolation 23 needs to establish a trusted signaling channel between the calling party A and the called party B, and the trusted signaling channel is transmitted on the existing Internet. All contents are in the same physical space but are logically isolated from each other for transmitting signaling of the communication system, wherein the signaling is a command that can be used to perform certain actions, permit or restrict certain behaviors, and record certain behaviors. Wait.

In Figure 4 "S/S1/S2/S3/S4/S5(switch)" indicates a trusted signaling platform, and any one of the signaling platforms and calling party A and called party B belong to a trusted signaling platform set. The member, the trusted tunnel established by each member of the signaling platform set in a logically isolated manner and the signaling channel established thereby are considered to be trusted, that is, the ISSN terminal signaling platform shown in FIG. ISSN operation signaling platform.

In this embodiment, in order to make the communication behavior of the communication parties not easy to be found, the logical isolation 23 specifically adopts a random multi-point exchange manner to establish a signaling channel, and when the calling party A issues a communication connection request, each of the letters The platform is configured to establish a trusted tunnel logically isolated from all the content transmitted on the existing Internet according to the communication connection request until the established signaling channel is connected to the called party B. In this embodiment, the signaling channel is randomly connected by multiple independent trusted tunnels, and each trusted tunnel is connected by two trusted signaling platforms. Referring to FIG. 4, for example, calling party A The trusted tunnel T0 is randomly established to the signaling platform S1, and the signaling platform S1 establishes a trusted tunnel T1 between the random and signaling platform S2 according to the communication connection request of the calling party A, and the signaling platform S2 is randomized and signaled. A trusted tunnel T2 is established between the platforms S3, and so on, and finally a trust formed by the trusted tunnels T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 is randomly established between the calling party A and the called party B. Signaling channel.

The above trusted signaling platform can be built in the form of a chip in the terminal and the operating terminal in the Internet, and these terminals and the operating terminal serve as carriers of the trusted signaling platform. Of course, the calling party and the called party for communication are performed. The party must also have the trusted signaling platform built in. The calling party and the called party can be terminals or operators in the Internet. The signaling platform built in the terminal has the same structure as the signaling platform built in the terminal, but the role and communication performance are different. The signaling platform built in the terminal is a large number of terminals in performance. For the specific structure and working principle of the signaling platform, please refer to the manual “Application No. CN200910190361.6” previously applied by the applicant, and details are not described here.

It may further include non-real-time forwarding signaling 24, after the basic signaling 21 confirms that the call between the ISSN terminals is valid, the non-real-time forwarding signaling 24 is used to forward messages between the ISSN terminals, which is beneficial between the ISSN terminals. Non-real time communication.

Further, as described above, the Internet-based signaling system provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to technologies such as triple play and Internet of Things. When used in the triple play technology, the triple play process auxiliary signaling 25 For the implementation of the interworking between the Internet-based signaling system and the PSTN network signaling and the PSTN-based message, please refer to the specification of the application No. CN200910190361.6 previously filed by the applicant, and no further details are provided here.

It should be understood that the various logical components of the Internet-based signaling system shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 may be implemented by a unit module, which may be a software structure, a hardware structure, or a combination of software and hardware.

The Internet-based signaling system provided by the embodiment of the present invention has nothing to do with the network itself, has nothing to do with the terminal form, and has nothing to do with the specific operation content. The entire deployment process transforms the existing Internet into a "zero" requirement, although parasitic on the Internet. The physical layer is co-located with the existing applications of the Internet, but is logically isolated. It is an independent and closed system with strong self-security. It is because of the above characteristics that the Internet-based signaling system provided by the embodiments of the present invention can solve several major problems:

From the system level---based on Internet communication and associated with the determined PSTN telephone number/mobile communication telephone number, the operator's management, operation, and charging can be relied upon, and the Internet-based information provided in the embodiment of the present invention is provided. The system is covered by a central, managed, trusted link, and safe operation, taking into account personal privacy and national security. Because it is parasitic on the Internet, it can be fully networked and interconnected.

From the operational level---the operator provides content services under trusted connections, recording the non-repudiation behavior status of both parties.

From the usage level---by associating with the determined PSTN phone number/mobile communication phone number, the current "registration-login-hacking" circle of the Internet is jumped out. When applied to the triple play technology, the phone within the three networks The usage fee of the machine is equivalent to the cost of the Internet IP phone. From the terminal product level---all terminals in the ISSN system tend to be similar, from the function of the terminal, "computer=telephone=television", but different products with different appearances depending on the application scenario and user preferences .

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection of the present invention. Within the scope.
