Description

Flash letter sending method, mobile switching center and service control point This application is submitted to the Chinese Patent Office on December 29, 2010, the application number is 201010612527.1, and the invention name is "flash letter sending method, mobile switching center and service control point". Priority of Chinese Patent Application, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method for sending a flash message, a mobile switching center, and a service control point. Background technique

Currently, there is a special short message-flash message (Flash SMS (Short Message Service)) in the short message type. When the user receives such a flash message, the content of the flash message can be directly displayed on the screen of the user's mobile phone without opening. When the user reads the flash message, the phone will automatically discard the flash message and will not save the flash message. Generally, the operator will use this type of flash to send some prompt messages to the user.

In the prior art, when a user sends a flash message, the function of the mobile phone is generally required to be high. For example, the user needs to use the mobile phone flash software to edit the flash message on the mobile phone, and then send it out. However, when the user's mobile phone does not support the mobile phone flash software, the user cannot implement the flash transmission. Summary of the invention

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for sending a flash message, which is performed by a mobile switching center, and includes the following steps:

100. The mobile switching center receives the short message sent by the user equipment, where the short message carries the called user number.

101. The mobile switching center sends a first message carrying the called subscriber number to the service control point, where the called subscriber number is obtained from a short message sent by the user equipment.

Specifically, after receiving the short message from the user equipment, the mobile switching center sends a first message carrying the called user number to the service control point, for example, through CAMEL (Customized Application for Mobile Network Enhancement), Customised Applications for The Mobile Network Enhanced Logic protocol sends an InitialDPSMS message carrying the called subscriber number to the service control point.

Optionally, the InitialDPSMS message is defined as follows:

InitialDPSMS =

{

serviceKey (business key) = 1

destinationSubscriberNumber (called user number) = *123*13512345678 callingPartyNumberas (calling subscriber number) = 13512345679

eventTypeSMS (short message event type) = 2

sMSCAddress (short message center address;) = 8613800755500

timeAndTimezone (time and time zone) = 2010061029000000

tPDataCodingScheme (data encoding mode) = 40

mscAddress (mobile switching center address) = 8613800755501

}

Among them, calling partynumber= 13512345679 represents the calling user number, destinationsubscribernumber= *123*13512345678 represents the called user number.

102. The mobile switching center receives a second message that is sent by the service control point and carries a flash conversion indication. For example, the mobile switching center receives a connectSMS message that is sent by the service control point and is sent by the CAMEL protocol and carries a flash conversion indication.

Optionally, the flash conversion indication may be represented by a tPDataCodingScheme parameter in the connectSMS message, where the tPDataCodingScheme parameter is a newly added parameter in the connectSMS message.

103. The mobile switching center converts the short message sent by the user equipment into a flash message according to the flash conversion indication.

The mobile switching center sends the flash message to the short message service center to instruct the short message service center to send the flash message to the called user.

As shown in FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for sending a flash message, which is performed by a service control point, and includes:

201. The service control point receives a first message that is sent by the mobile switching center after receiving the short message from the user equipment, where the first message carries the called user number included in the short message.

For example, the service control point receives an InitialDPSMS message sent by the mobile switching center through the CAMEL protocol, and the InitialDPSMS message carries the called subscriber number.

202. The service control point adds a flash conversion indication to the second message.

Specifically, after receiving the InitialDPSMS message, the service control point performs authentication and deduction on the calling user according to the called user number and the calling user information.

After the service control point authenticates and deducts the calling user successfully, a flash conversion indication is added to the second message. For example, the tPDataCodingScheme parameter in the connectSMS message is used to indicate the flash conversion indication. Specifically, the tPDataCodingScheme parameter may be added to the connectSMS message. Optionally, a message structure of a connectSMS message may be defined as follows (the connectionSMS message defines tPDataCodingScheme):

ConnectSMSArg:: = SEQUENCE

{ callingPartysNumber (calling subscriber number) [0] SMS -Address String (address type) OPTIONAL (optional),

destinationSubscriberNumber (called user number) [1] CalledPartyBCDNumber (called number type) OPTIONAL,

sMSCAddress (short message center address) [2] ISDN- Address String (address type) OPTIONAL,

Extensions [10] Extensions Array (extended array type) OPTIONAL tPDataCodingScheme (data encoding mode) [11] TPDataCodingScheme (data encoding mode type) OPTIONAL,

}

TPDataCodingScheme:: = OCTET STRING (SIZE (1))

Optionally, an extended connectSMS message structure is:

connectSMS =

{

callingPartysNumber (calling subscriber number) = 13512345679

destinationSubscriberNumber (called user number) = 13512345678 tPDataCodingScheme (data encoding mode) = 24: flash SMS

}

Where tPDataCodingScheme = 24: flash SMS is used to indicate the flash conversion indication. 203. The service control point sends a second message carrying the flash conversion indication to the mobile switching center, to instruct the mobile switching center to convert the short message from the user equipment into a flash message.

For example, the service control point sends a connectSMS message to the mobile switching center through the CAMEL protocol, and the connectSMS message carries a flash conversion indication to instruct the mobile switching center to convert the short message from the user equipment into a flash message. The beneficial effects brought by the embodiment of the present invention: after receiving the first message, the service control point of the intelligent network sends a flash conversion indication to the mobile switching center, instructing the mobile switching center to convert the short message from the user equipment into a flash message. And sent to the called user.
