Description

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a method and apparatus for issuing a notification message. BACKGROUND A Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a kind of other application that can be used between a mobile terminal (for example, a mobile phone) and a mobile terminal, between a service provider and a mobile terminal, and between a mobile terminal and an email server. A messaging service that delivers multimedia content. The multimedia messaging service has been widely carried out at present, especially the rich, timely and fast service provided by the service provider for mobile phone users, enriching the life of the user. A typical flowchart of the MMS service is as shown in FIG. 1 , and mainly includes the following processes: Step S102: The first mobile terminal (User Agent (UA) is referred to as a User Agent (UA)) to submit a multimedia message to a Multimedia Messaging Service Center. For example, the MMSC returns the submission message response. Step S106: The MMSC sends a notification message to the second mobile terminal (receiving UA). Step S108: The second receiving terminal receives the notification message of the MMSC, and initiates the acquisition to the MMSC. a message request; Step S110: The MMSC sends the multimedia message to the second mobile terminal in the acquiring response message; Step S112: The second mobile terminal re-initiates the notification message response; Step S114: The MMSC returns a user delivery report to the first mobile terminal, and the MMS message The process ends. It can be seen that the notification message sent by the mobile terminal to the MMSC is a key factor in the multimedia message flow. If the user accidentally deletes the notification message, although the multimedia message still exists in the MMSC, the acquisition process cannot be triggered. The user will never be able to obtain the multimedia message. Finally, the MMSC triggers the expired operation and terminates the process. In this case, the service fails, and the operator cannot charge the service. For the user, after deleting the notification message, There is no longer a chance to view the multimedia message. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for issuing a notification message to solve at least one of the above problems, in view of the problem that a user may inadvertently obtain a multimedia message due to inadvertent deletion of a notification message.
