融合电信网和互联网的通信系统及方法 技术领域 本发明涉及通信领域, 具体而言, 涉及一种融合电信网和互联网的通信系统及方 法。 背景技术 如何加快推进电信网、 广播电视网和互联网三网融合, 推进电信网、 广播电视网 和计算机互联网三者的融合发展, 实现三网互联互通、 资源共享, 为用户提供话音、 数据和广播电视等多种服务, 一直是业界关注的焦点。 电话通信的出现早于计算机通信, 在出现 VoIP (Voice over IP, IP电话) 之前, 它们都在各自独立地发展着。 在出现 VoIP之后, 两者开始有所融合, 但仍各行其是。 直到后来的 IMS (IP multimedia subsystem, IP多媒体子系统)、 全 IP的 3G网络的出 现, 两者才开始真正意义上的融合, 但仍限于网络方面的互通与共享。 实际上, 由于 计算机配置的日益丰富和处理能力的日益强大, 计算机早已可以、 并已实际兼负起固 定通信终端的角色。 随着移动通信系统和通信业务规模的不断扩大, 移动资源 (无线频谱)的有限性对 移动通信系统容量的制约已经显现出来, 业界已考虑并着手将有限的无线资源和相对 无限的有线资源结合起来, 充分利用已有的固网资源, 提高移动通信系统的容量及用 户的体验。 不过, 目前在这方面的努力多限于用近距离的无线传输手段实现移动终端 与固网的近距离连接, 以及固定电话机和移动电话机之间的融合。 物质文明和通信技术的发展, 使得当今的通信手段已不再单一, 同一个用户通常 同时拥有多个可用于通信的终端设备。 随着人类文明的发展, 人们的环保意识也在逐 渐加强, 越来越多的人意识到无线电波对人体健康的危害; 同时, 对于相当多的用户, 大多数的通信是不需要移动, 而且具备固定通信手段的。 甚至有相当多的用户, 无论 是在家里, 还是在办公室里, 多数情况是手边有座机, 兜里有手机, 手里还操作着计 算机。 这些通信终端各有所长, 应该各尽其能, 或协同工作, 以期为用户提供更好的 业务和体验。 目前现有技术中已有这方面的设想, 但由于出发点不同, 其应用场景和实现方式 均有不同, 归结起来, 有以下几个方面: 1、 移动终端通过 WiFi (Wireless Fidelity, 无
线保真)等短距离接入技术, 接入互联网, 从而实现基于 IP的通信, 但与移动电话通 信是两套系统、 两套技术; 2、 移动终端与计算机之间通过有线或无线方式连接, 共享 信息。现有技术中的方案只是局部的考虑了融合的问题, 并没有给出一套完整的方案, 使得用户通信终端相对独立, 不能有效协作地进行通信。 发明内容 本发明的主要目的在于提供一种融合电信网和互联网的通信系统及方法, 以解决 上述问题。 根据本发明的一个方面, 提供了一种融合电信网和互联网的通信系统, 包括: 主 终端、 一个或多个辅终端、 一个或多个接入交换机, 其中, 主终端包括: 辅端注册模 块, 设置为根据注册标识为主终端注册一个或多个辅终端; 上述一个或多个辅终端中 每个辅终端均包括: 主端业务模块, 设置为通过与该辅终端对应的接入交换机处理主 终端的通信业务; 上述一个或多个接入交换机中每个接入交换机均包括: 核心接入模 块, 设置为将与该接入交换机对应的上述一个或多个辅终端中的一个或多个辅终端和 / 或主终端接入核心网, 并将主终端的业务转发给上述一个或多个辅终端中的一个或多 个辅终端处理。 上述系统还包括: 归属用户服务器, 其中, 属用户服务器包括: 信息存储模块, 设置为存储所有终端的终端信息; 信息查询模块, 设置为根据上述一个或多个接入交 换机发送的查询请求, 在信息存储模块存储的终端信息中进行查询, 并将查询结果反 馈给上述一个或多个接入交换机; 上述一个或多个接入交换机中每个接入交换机均还 包括: 查询实现模块, 设置为在实现通信业务时, 向归属用户服务器发送查询请求查 询所需的信息。 主终端还包括: 状态管理模块, 设置为设置并管理主终端及上述一个或多个辅终 端的状态, 其中, 上述状态包括: 接入状态及非接入状态、 活动状态及非活动状态, 只有处于接入状态且处于活动状态的终端才能处理主终端的通信业务。 主终端还包括: 切换请求模块, 设置为发起将当前正在进行的通信业务切换到主 终端上和 /或上述一个或多个辅终端中的一个或多个辅终端上继续进行的请求; 上述一 个或多个接入交换机中每个接入交换机均还包括: 业务切换模块, 设置为根据主终端 发起的请求, 将当前正在进行的通信业务切换到上述请求指示的终端上继续进行。 上述一个或多个辅终端中每个辅终端均还包括: 辅端业务模块, 设置为处理该辅 终端原有的通信业务。
主终端包括以下之一: 固定电话、 移动终端、 计算机、 具有通信功能的电视机; 上述一个或多个辅终端包括以下至少之一: 固定电话、 移动终端、 计算机、 具有通信 功能的电视机。 注册标识包括以下至少之一: 用户号码、 IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity, 国际移动设备识别码)、 IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number, 国际移动用户识别码)、 MAC (Media Access Control, 媒体接入控制) 地址 标识。 信息存储模块存储的终端信息包括: 一般终端信息、 主终端信息、 辅终端信息, 其中, 一般终端信息包括以下至少之一: 终端位置、 终端标识、 终端类型、 终端能力、 设备状态、 服务状态; 主终端信息包括以下至少之一: 用户号码、 活动终端索引、 辅 终端个数、 辅终端索引; 辅终端信息包括: 主终端索引。 根据本发明的另一方面, 提供了一种融合电信网和互联网的通信方法, 包括: 主 终端根据注册标识向归属用户服务器注册一个或多个辅终端; 上述主终端及一个或多 个辅终端通过一个或多个接入交换机接入核心网; 上述一个或多个辅终端中的一个或 多个辅终端通过上述一个或多个接入交换机处理主终端的通信业务。 在主终端根据注册标识向归属用户服务器注册一个或多个辅终端之后, 还包括: 主终端设置并管理主终端及上述一个或多个辅终端的状态, 其中, 上述状态包括: 接 入状态及非接入状态、 活动状态及非活动状态, 只有处于接入状态且处于活动状态的 终端才能处理主终端的通信业务。 在上述一个或多个辅终端中的一个或多个辅终端通过上述一个或多个接入交换机 处理主终端的通信业务之后, 还包括: 主终端发起请求, 将当前正在进行的通信业务 切换到主终端上和 /或上述一个或多个辅终端中的一个或多个辅终端上继续进行。 通过本发明, 采用先由主终端注册若干辅终端, 再通过接入交换机将主终端及辅 终端接入核心网, 使得辅终端最终可以通过接入交换机相对独立地处理主终端的通信 业务的方案, 解决了现有技术中用户通信终端相对独立, 不能有效协作地进行通信的 问题, 进而可以协调应用用户的不同通信终端进行通信, 为用户提供通信服务。
附图说明 此处所说明的附图用来提供对本发明的进一步理解, 构成本申请的一部分, 本发 明的示意性实施例及其说明用于解释本发明, 并不构成对本发明的不当限定。 在附图 中: 图 1是根据本发明实施例的融合电信网和互联网的通信系统的结构框图; 图 2是根据本发明优选实施例的融合电信网和互联网的通信系统的结构框图; 图 3是根据本发明实例的作为辅终端的计算机的结构框图; 图 4是根据本发明实例的以作为辅终端的计算机为被叫时的呼叫建立的流程示意 图; 图 5是根据本发明实例的以作为辅终端的计算机为主叫时的呼叫建立的流程示意 图; 图 6是根据本发明实例的作为辅终端的计算机进行呼叫时活动终端切换的流程示 意图; 图 7是根据本发明实施例的融合电信网和互联网的通信方法的流程图。 具体实施方式 下文中将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本发明。 需要说明的是, 在不冲突的 情况下, 本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。 图 1是根据本发明实施例的融合电信网和互联网的通信系统的结构框图。 如图 1 所示, 根据本发明实施例的融合电信网和互联网的通信系统包括: 主终端 12、 辅终端 14 (可以为一个或多个, 图 1 中为一个)、 接入交换机 16 (可以为一个或多个, 图 1 中为一个), 其中, 主终端 12包括: 辅端注册模块 122,连接至接入交换机 16, 设置为根据注册标识为主终端 12注册 一个或多个辅终端 (图 1中为一个, 即辅终端 14 ) ; 辅终端 14包括:
主端业务模块 142,连接至接入交换机 16, 设置为通过接入交换机 16处理主终端 12的通信业务; 接入交换机 16包括: 核心接入模块 162, 连接至核心网, 设置为将主终端 12及辅终端 14接入核心网, 并将主终端 12的业务转发给辅终端 14处理。 上述系统中, 采用了一种全新的融合手段, 即由主终端 12主动根据辅终端 14的 注册标识(用于表明终端身份的标识, 下文中有详细描述)将其注册为自身的辅终端, 类似于主终端 12对辅终端 14进行了授权,允许其以主终端 12的身份来执行各项功能, 具体表现为辅终端 14是可以通过接入交换机 16来处理主终端 12的各项通信业务的, 当然, 主终端 12自身也是可以处理业务的, 即也可以将业务转给主终端 12处理。 这 里, 接入交换机 16的主要任务在于屏蔽终端的差异, 即保证不论主终端 12及辅终端 14具体是什么设备, 都可以接入核心网以实现相应的通信业务。 需要说明的是, 这种 主终端与辅终端的对应关系, 既可以对应于主终端的设备本身, 也可以对应于主终端 的用户号码。 在上述系统中, 主终端 12将辅终端 14注册为自己的辅终端后, 主终端 12及辅终 端 14依旧是相对独立的两个终端,在辅终端 14处理主终端 12的各项通信业务时, 是 不需要通过主终端 12的, 这样一来就大大加强了应用的灵活性, 提高了融合的程度。 需要说明的是, 这里所说的主终端及辅终端是一个相对的概念, 即一个终端可以既是 一个用户号码的主终端同时也是另一个号码 (或主终端)的辅终端, 还可以同时是多个 主终端的辅终端, 也可以同时是多个辅终端的主终端(即拥有多个辅终端), 多个终端 之间可以构成一个复杂的网状结构, 从而可以进一步加大网络的融合度及应用的灵活 性。 当主终端与辅终端由于距离较远或者其他原因不能接入同一接入交换机时, 可以 通过多个接入交换机接入核心网保持其关系。 优选地, 如图 2所示, 根据本发明实施例的融合电信网和互联网的通信系统还可 以进一步包括: 归属用户服务器 18, 其中, 归属用户服务器 18包括: 信息存储模块 182, 连接至接入交换机 16及核心网, 设置为存储所有终端的终端 信息;
信息查询模块 184, 连接至接入交换机 16及信息存储模块 182, 设置为根据接入 交换机 16发送的查询请求,在信息存储模块 182存储的终端信息中进行查询, 并将查 询结果反馈给接入交换机 16。 接入交换机 16还可以进一步包括: 查询实现模块 164, 连接至归属用户服务器 18, 设置为在实现通信业务时, 向归 属用户服务器 18发送查询请求查询所需的信息。 在主终端注册了辅终端之后, 即会产生一种主终端与辅终端的对应关系, 而且在 辅终端处理主终端的用户号码对应的各种通信业务时, 是需要使用这种对应关系的。 这种关系可以保存在主终端中, 在需要的时候由接入交换机调用, 也可以直接保存在 接入交换机中, 在需要的时候直接调用。 但这两种方式都有一定的缺点, 当保存在主 终端中时, 会导致调用流程的反复, 造成流程浪费降低效率; 当保存在接入交换机中 时, 在主终端及辅终端位置相对固定的情况下不会出现什么问题, 但是当主终端和 / 或辅终端是移动终端时, 由于接入交换机是不能移动的, 当主终端和 /或辅终端的位置 发生移动后, 就会接入到新的接入交换机, 而新的接入交换机在终端接入之初时, 是 无法获知主终端与辅终端的对应关系的, 因此就会导致错误。 为了克服上述的缺陷, 优选地可以在上述系统的基础上加入了 HSS ( Home Subscriber Server, 归属用户服务器), HSS属于现有设备, 在现有技术中, HSS就负 责存储所有用户号码的业务及各种终端信息。 因此, 可以在此基础上对其功能进行扩 展, 将因为主终端注册辅终端而产生的信息 (包括但不限于上述对应关系) 也作为终 端信息存储到 HSS中, 在需要时供接入交换机调用, 这样一来即可克服上述缺陷, 大 大增强了实用性。在本优选实施例中, 即保存在归属用户服务器 18中, 供接入交换机 16调用。需要说明的是,逻辑上, 归属用户服务器与接入交换机之间可能有若干连接, 以相互协作, 完成用户信息的存储、 修改、 查询, 乃至删除, 但物理上通常没有专线 相连, 只是通过核心网相接。 优选地, 如图 2所示, 主终端 12还可以进一步包括: 状态管理模块 124,连接至接入交换机 16, 设置为设置并管理主终端 12及辅终端 14的状态, 其中, 上述状态包括: 接入状态及非接入状态、 活动状态及非活动状态, 只有当辅终端 14处于接入状态且处于活动状态的时才能处理主终端 12的通信业务。 状态管理模块 124进一步提供了状态管理功能, 这一功能主要应用于系统中终端 较多的情况, 终端状态可以分为两种, 一是设备状态, 包括: 接入状态及非接入状态,
一是工作状态, 包括: 活动状态及非活动状态。 一般来说, 主终端都处于接入状态, 但不一定处于活动状态。 对于辅终端来说, 其设备状态一般都不是由主终端决定的, 因此主终端对辅终端设备状态的管理主要是指: 更新、 查询等操作, 以为后续的工作 状态管理提供依据。 对于工作状态来说, 在主终端、 在线辅终端确定下来之后, 状态 管理模块 124还可以进一步的对其工作状态进行管理, 包括: 更新、 查询等操作, 例 如, 设置这些终端的状态, 决定其是否可以处理业务, 或者根据需要切换终端的状态, 即实现状态迁移。 各个终端的状态信息也是终端信息的一种。 原则上来说, 在所有主 终端、 辅终端之中, 一般只有一个终端处于活动状态, 但这并不是绝对的。 对于不同 的业务, 或根据不同的需要, 也可以将所有主终端、 辅终端中的若干个终端设置为活 动状态, 同时处理业务。 状态管理功能设置, 也为后续功能的扩展提供了方便。 由于 只有处于接入状态且处于活动状态的终端才能处理业务, 所以最终处理业务的可能是 若干个辅终端、 若干个辅终端和主终端或者是主终端自己。 优选地, 主终端 12还可以进一步包括: 切换请求模块 126, 连接至接入交换机 16, 设置为发起将当前正在进行的通信业 务切换到主终端 12上和 /或辅终端 14 (当辅终端为多个时, 可以选择其中的一个或多 个) 上继续进行的请求; 接入交换机 16还可以进一步包括: 业务切换模块 166,连接至归属用户服务器 18,设置为根据主终端 12发起的请求, 将当前正在进行的通信业务切换到上述请求指示的终端上继续进行。 在业务进行中, 用户可能会出现切换终端继续进行业务的需求, 上述模块的设置 就是为了满足用户的这种需求。 当用户需要切换终端继续进行业务时, 即可通过主终 端 12发送请求消息指示想要切换到的终端, 接入交换机 16在收到这个请求消息后即 可根据指示对当前业务进行切换。 在具体实现手段上, 最为简便的方法就是利用上述 状态管理模块 124提供的状态管理功能, 将想要使用的终端的状态设置为活动状态, 将不想使用的终端的状态设置为非活动状态, 这样一来业务自然就进行了切换。 需要 说明的是, 不论当前业务是在主终端上进行还是辅终端上进行, 这种切换请求最好由 主终端发起, 否则可能会造成使用不便, 甚至信息安全隐患。 优选地, 辅终端 14可以进一步包括: 辅端业务模块 144,连接至接入交换机 16, 设置为处理该辅终端原有的通信业务。
辅端业务模块 144的设置, 使得辅终端 14在作为主终端 12的辅终端时, 仍可保 持自我, 即仍可处理自身原有的通信业务, 例如, 可以使用其原有的用户号码发起业 务, 也接收其原有号码作为被叫的业务请求。 这一功能可以进一步为用户提供方便, 同时也为辅终端 14作为其他终端的主终端提供了基础。 优选地, 主终端 12可以包括: 固定电话、 移动终端、 计算机、 具有通信功能的电 视机; 辅终端 14可以包括以下之一: 固定电话、 移动终端、 计算机、 具有通信功能的 电视机等。 本发明是为实现网络融合而提出的,因此主终端与辅终端最好不是同一类的设备, 例如, 主终端 12为移动终端, 辅终端 14为计算机, 当然, 也可以是同类设备。 由于 主终端的作用是管理辅终端, 所以在大范围的网络融合应用中, 它应具有两个特点, 一是很好的移动性, 二是足够的可信度。 因此, 目前装有 SIM的移动终端最适宜作为 主终端, 用以最可信地标识用户和终端。 不过, 如果通过附加手段, 例如, 把数据卡 插到计算机上, 那么这台计算机也就具备了上述的用户标识能力。 但由于数据卡与计 算机的对应关系比较松散, 而且计算机的移动性有限, 所以计算机并不是主终端的最 好选择。 当然, 如果将来通信的观念发展到了 SIM对识别用户不再像现在这么重要之 时, 计算机也就可以作为主终端了。 但是, 对于较小范围的网络融合来说, 对于移动 性和可信度要求就不是那么高了, 此时, 主终端设备选择的范围就大了很多, 可以根 据具体需要进行选择。 在小范围的网络融合时, 在具体业务实现方面, 也可以不依赖 于核心网, 而是使用其他可以连接各个终端的网络, 但其实质所起的作用与核心网所 起到的作用并无不同。 上述移动终端是一个广义的概念, 不单单指带 SIM卡的移动通信终端, 例如: 手 机、 智能手机, 还可以包括多种适用的设备, 例如: PDA (Personal Digital Assistant, 个人数字助理, 又称为掌上电脑)、 GPS (Global Position System, 全球定位系统) 终 端等多种移动终端设备。 在辅终端为多个的情况下, 其可以为多个种类的设备。 优选地, 上述注册标识可以包括以下至少之一: 用户号码、 IMEI、 IMSI、 MAC 地址标识; 信息存储模块 182存储的终端信息可以包括: 一般终端信息、 主终端信息、 辅终 端信息, 其中, 一般终端信息可以包括以下至少之一: 终端位置、 终端标识、 终端类型、 终端能 力、 设备状态、 服务状态;
主终端信息可以包括以下至少之一: 用户号码、 活动终端索引、 辅终端个数、 辅 终端索引; 辅终端信息可以包括: 主终端索引。 注册标识是一个广义的概念, 包括所有可以用于标识终端身份的标识, 一个终端 可以有多个注册标识, 对于不同的设备其注册标识也不相同, 例如, 对于固定电话和 手机可以使用用户号码作为注册标识, 对手机来说还可以使用 IMEI或 IMSI作为注册 标识, 计算机则可以使用网卡 MAC地址标识作为注册标识。 注册标识的选择是可以 根据具体的情况和技术的发展, 灵活的进行选择的。 对于信息存储模块 182存储的终端信息即 HSS保存的终端信息来说,其内容十分 丰富, 总的来说可以分为一般终端信息、 主终端信息、 辅终端信息, 一般终端信息即 对每个终端都需要保存的信息, 主终端信息即当某个终端成为主终端后需要保存的相 应信息, 辅终端信息即当某个终端成为辅终端后需要保存的相应信息。 在具体实施过 程中, 可以根据具体的需要选择若干个上述信息进行保存, 相应的也可以对其进行扩 展。 一般来说, 在存储空间足够的情况下, 保存的信息越丰富越详细越好。 综上所述, 根据上述优选实施的一个融合电信网和互联网的通信系统可以概括如 下: 该系统包括: 主终端、 辅终端、 其他终端、 接入交换机、 核心网、 HSS。 主终端、 辅终端及其他终端可以是移动终端、 计算机或固定电话机。 主终端和辅终端经接入交 换机接入核心网, 并通过核心网实现所需的通信业务。 HSS保存用户及终端的信息, 以便建立业务时查找被叫终端。 使用用户号码作为注册辅终端的依据, 每个用户号码对应于一张 SIM ( Subscriber Identity Module, 客户识别模块)卡, 安装该 SIM卡的终端即确定为该号码的主终端, 通过该主终端, 可以为此号码注册若干其他终端作为其辅终端。 所有辅终端在作为该 号码的辅终端进行通信时使用与主终端相同的用户号码, 用以在通信中唯一标识该用 户。 一个用户号码包括主终端和相应辅终端在内的所有终端, 同时一般只有一个终端 对一种业务或一种通信内容处于活动状态, 专用于处理此业务或此内容。一般情况下, 只有一个终端处于活动状态, 用以处理该用户号码的所有业务; 但也不排除有若干终 端同时处于活动状态, 分别处理不同的通信内容或业务的可能, 比如, 音频的收发、 视频的制放、 游戏的控制与画面显示等。 这些不同的组合, 可以由用户通过主终端配
置在 HSS中, 并由呼叫控制逻辑协调选用。 只有处于活动状态的终端才可处理该号码 的业务。 辅终端在作为其主终端的辅终端时, 仍可保持自我, 即可以使用其原有的用户号 码发起业务, 也接收其原有号码作为被叫的业务请求。 当然, 在其作为活动辅终端时, 它必须能够以其主终端的号码发起相应业务, 也必须能够接收以其主终端的号码作为 被叫的相应业务请求。 显然, 活动的辅终端在发起业务时可以选择发起业务的用户号 码, 这个选择可能是多项的。 用户可以选择一终端 (可以没有 SIM卡)只做辅终端, 此 时该辅终端就只是其主终端的替代。
HSS在关于用户的数据库中存储所有用户号码的业务及终端信息。 业务信息类似 于现有技术。对于终端, 则需要记录终端位置(针对在线终端)、终端标识、终端类型、 终端能力、 设备状态、 服务状态; 对于主终端还需记录用户号码、 活动终端索引、 辅 终端个数、 辅终端索引等信息; 对于辅终端还需记录其主终端的索引。 数据库可以用 户号码、 主终端 IMSI或 IMEI、 辅终端标识 +主终端标识、 以及辅终端标识 +用户号码 等为索引查询。 手机的位置信息如同现有技术; 计算机的位置信息可为 (访问) IP 地址或 (访问) IP 地址 +端口号。 手机用 IMEI或 IMSI、 计算机用网卡 MAC地址标识作为终端标识(即 注册标识)。终端的设备状态有在线、 占线、离线; 在线时, 用户又可定义一些子状态, 比如, 忙碌、 离开、 工作、 开会、 空闲等, 以进一步标识用户的状态; 离线则表示本 终端目前不与通信网络相连, 不能提供通信服务。终端的服务状态则是活动与不活动, 只有对某业务或内容活动的终端才可提供相应业务或内容的通信服务。 下面根据实例及图 3-图 6对上述优选实施例进行详细说明。 使用计算机作为一用 户号码的辅终端比较具有代表性, 因此本实例以计算机作为辅终端, 处理呼叫业务为 例进行说明。 图 3是根据本发明实例的作为辅终端的计算机的结构框图, 其中的大部分模块与 现有计算机相同(综合起来即相当于辅端业务模块),但须增加终端管理功能和呼叫控 制功能 (即主端业务模块), 终端管理功能用于根据主终端的设置管理本终端的状态, 包括在线、 离线、 占线, 激活、 去活等; 呼叫控制功能则具体控制由本终端发起或接 收的呼叫。 图 4是根据本发明实例的以作为辅终端的计算机为被叫时的呼叫建立的流程示意 图。 如图 4包括以下步骤:
步骤 S402, 主叫终端发起呼叫, 并通过第一呼叫建立请求消息将此呼叫请求发往 主叫接入交换机, 消息中携带被叫号码; 步骤 S404, 主叫接入交换机通过查找被叫消息, 向 HSS查询被叫终端目前的位 置, 消息中携带被叫号码; 步骤 S406, HSS收到查询请求后, 以被叫号码为索引关键字, 查询用户数据库, 并将结果通过被叫信息消息返回给主叫接入交换机。 在进行此查询操作时, HSS首先 通过被叫用户号码找到被叫用户的终端信息, 再从中得知被叫用户目前的活动终端是 作为辅终端的计算机, 进而找出此计算机的位置信息, 并将此位置信息返回给主叫接 入交换机; 步骤 S408 , 主叫接入交换机从被叫终端的位置信息中找出被叫接入交换机的信 息, 通过第二呼叫建立请求消息向被叫接入交换机发出呼叫建立请求, 消息中有主叫 号码、 被叫号码等; 步骤 S410, 被叫接入交换机呼叫被叫辅终端计算机; 步骤 S412, 被叫辅终端计算机接受呼叫建立请求, 并返回应答; 步骤 S414 S416, 呼叫建立成功应答一路返回, 直到主叫终端, 呼叫建立成功; 步骤 S418, 主叫、 被叫通信业务开始, 交换媒体内容。 图 5是根据本发明实例的以作为辅终端的计算机为主叫时的呼叫建立的流程示意 图。 如图 5所示, 包括以下步骤: 步骤 S502, 计算机启动呼叫控制程序, 输入被叫号码, 选择主叫号码, 将通过第 一呼叫建立请求消息将呼叫请求发往主叫接入交换机。 消息中包含此次呼叫的主叫号 码、 被叫号码、 辅终端 (计算机)的标识、 以及关于此次呼叫的其他信息; 步骤 S504, 主叫接入交换机处理此呼叫请求, 将主叫号码、 被叫号码、 辅终端标 识、 呼叫信息通过呼叫审核消息, 发往主叫 HSS; 步骤 S506, 主叫 HSS首先检查主叫的有效性。 主叫 HSS通过辅终端的注册标识 查找主叫号码的数据记录, 如果找不到, 则说明此终端无效; 再看消息中携带的主叫 号码与辅终端的主终端的号码是否匹配, 如果不匹配, 也说明此终端无效。 呼叫的有 效性审核结果通过应答消息返回给主叫接入交换机;
步骤 S508, 主叫接入交换机根据被叫号码, 找到被叫 HSS, 将被号码、 呼叫信息 通过被叫查询消息发往被叫 HSS; 步骤 S510, 被叫 HSS找到被叫位置, 返回给主叫接入交换机; 步骤 S512, 主叫接入交换机向被叫接入交换机发送第二呼叫建立请求消息; 步骤 S514, 被叫接入交换机向被叫终端发送第三呼叫建立请求消息; 步骤 S516 S520, 被叫终端应答呼叫, 此应答一路后传到主叫终端, 呼叫建立成 功; 步骤 S522, 主被叫终端开始通信业务, 交换媒体内容。 图 6是根据本发明实例的作为辅终端的计算机进行呼叫时活动终端切换的流程示 意图。 可以考虑这样的场景, 某用户正在用计算机作为辅终端跟对方通信, 但觉得接 下来的内容不宜在办公室里交流, 所以, 他将主终端 (移动终端)切换为活动终端, 通 信系统随即自动将其通信业务转移到他的主终端上。 于是, 该用户可以用移动终端, 在办公室以外方便的地方, 继续他的此次通信。 如图 6所示, 包括以下步骤: 步骤 S602, 通过前述的操作, 用户已通过他的辅终端计算机, 与对方进行通信。 在某些情况下, 用计算机作为通信终端进行通信, 比用手机更加方便, 因为用户可以 用耳麦省出双手, 一边说话, 一边在计算机上查询所需信息, 还可以利用计算机的强 大显示、 处理能力, 进行其他终端不方便完成的业务。 当然在通话同时, 他还可以继 续他在计算机上的工作, 把交流作为一个并发的后台事件; 步骤 S604, 当该用户需要离开计算机继续通信时, 他通过主终端下达激活主终端 的指令, 该指令通过激活请求消息传给其 HSS; 步骤 S606, HSS处理此激活请求消息, 返回应答给主终端, 主终端完成自己的激 活操作; 步骤 S608, HSS同时向正在通信的辅终端计算机发送去活请求消息, 请求计算机 去活 (即进入非活动状态); 步骤 S610, 计算机处理去活消息。 首先向其辅端接入交换机发送呼叫转移请求消 息, 通知辅端接入交换机, 呼叫将转移到另一终端上。 消息中包含目标终端的标识和 其他呼叫信息;
步骤 S612, 辅端接入交换机通过向 HSS查询, 得知主终端所在的主端接入交换 机的位置, 于是通过第一呼叫建立请求消息请求与主端接入交换机建立呼叫连接。 消 息中包含辅端接入交换机所知的与此呼叫有关的所有信息; 步骤 S614 S616, 主端接入交换机向主终端发出呼叫建立请求, 主终端完成相应 操作, 应答主端接入交换机; 步骤 S618, 主端接入交换机向辅端接入交换机返回应答, 表明主端接入交换机已 完成相关的连接建立; 步骤 S620, 辅端接入交换机完成其与主端接入交换机之间的连接建立, 将呼叫切 换到该新建连接上, 然后向计算机发送应答, 回应计算机先前发出的呼叫转移请求; 步骤 S622, 计算机向 HSS发送应答, 表明其已完成去活操作; HSS完成终端状 态的更新; 步骤 S624, 主终端通过辅端接入交换机、 主端接入交换机、 主叫接入交换机与原 通信对方继续通信。 图 7是根据本发明实施例的融合电信网和互联网的通信方法的流程图。 如图 7所 示, 根据本发明实施例的融合电信网和互联网的通信方法包括: 步骤 S702, 主终端根据注册标识向归属用户服务器注册一个或多个辅终端; 步骤 S704,上述主终端及一个或多个辅终端通过一个或多个接入交换机接入核心 网; 步骤 S706,上述一个或多个辅终端中的一个或多个辅终端通过上述一个或多个接 入交换机处理上述主终端的通信业务。 在上述方法中, 由主终端主动根据注册标识为自身注册辅终端, 允许辅终端以主 终端的身份来执行各项功能, 具体表现为辅终端通过接入交换机来处理主终端的各项 通信业务, 当然, 主终端自身也是可以独立处理业务的。 这样一来, 主终端及辅终端 依旧是相对独立的两个终端, 在辅终端处理主终端的各项通信业务时, 是不需要通过 主终端的, 从而大大加强了应用的灵活性, 提高了融合的程度。在步骤 S706中, 辅终 端处理主终端的通信业务主要是指发起某项业务或者接收某项业务, 例如, 由辅终端 发起呼叫, 此时, 辅终端会在发出的呼叫建立请求中携带主叫号码, 而且此号码与该 辅终端原有号码 (如果该辅终端有自己的 SIM及相应的用户号码)不同; 由辅终端接
受业务请求, 此时, 主叫接入交换机会通过被叫的 HSS确定被叫终端的位置, 将呼叫 接续到被叫的活动辅终端所在接入交换机, 由被叫接入交换机接通被叫辅终端。 优选地,在步骤 S702之后还可以进一步包括以下处理:主终端设置并管理上述主 终端及上述一个或多个辅终端的状态, 其中, 上述状态包括: 接入状态及非接入状态、 活动状态及非活动状态, 只有处于接入状态且处于活动状态的终端才能处理主终端的 通信业务。 终端状态可以分为两种, 一是设备状态包括: 接入状态及非接入状态, 一是工作 状态包括: 活动状态及非活动状态。 一般来说, 主终端都处于接入状态, 但不一定处 于活动状态。 对于辅终端来说, 其设备状态一般都不是由主终端决定的, 因此主终端 对辅终端设备状态的管理主要是指: 更新、 查询等操作, 以为后续的工作状态管理提 供依据。 对于工作状态来说, 在主终端、 在线辅终端确定下来之后, 还可以进一步的 对其工作状态进行管理, 包括: 更新、 查询等操作, 例如, 设置这些终端的状态, 决 定其是否可以处理业务, 或者根据需要切换终端的状态, 即实现状态迁移。 这样的做 法大大提高了应用的灵活性, 同时, 这一功能也为后续功能的扩展提供了方便。 优选地, 在步骤 S706之后还可以进一步包括以下处理: 主终端发起请求, 将当前 正在进行的通信业务切换到主终端上和 /或上述一个或多个辅终端中的一个或多个辅 终端上继续进行。 上述步骤即可在业务持续过程中, 将业务在主终端和辅终端之间、 或不同的辅终 端之间切换, 且使正在进行中的业务可以持续进行, 以满足用户的需求。 从以上的描述中, 可以看出, 本发明提供了一种可以协调应用用户的不同通信终 端进行通信, 为用户提供通信服务的方案, 使得用户的不同终端可以使用相同的号码, 发起或接受通信业务, 同时, 通信业务还可以在不同终端之间方便地切换, 在节省了 无线资源、 减少了办公环境中的无线电波污染的同时, 提供了更好的通信服务, 不但 提高了用户体验也保护了广大工作者的身体健康, 使三网融合向前迈出了实质性的一 步。 显然, 本领域的技术人员应该明白, 上述的本发明的各模块或各步骤可以用通用 的计算装置来实现, 它们可以集中在单个的计算装置上, 或者分布在多个计算装置所 组成的网络上, 可选地, 它们可以用计算装置可执行的程序代码来实现, 从而, 可以 将它们存储在存储装置中由计算装置来执行, 并且在某些情况下, 可以以不同于此处 的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤, 或者将它们分别制作成各个集成电路模块, 或者将
它们中的多个模块或步骤制作成单个集成电路模块来实现。 这样, 本发明不限制于任 何特定的硬件和软件结合。 以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施例而已, 并不用于限制本发明, 对于本领域的技 术人员来说, 本发明可以有各种更改和变化。 凡在本发明的精神和原则之内, 所作的 任何修改、 等同替换、 改进等, 均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
