On the one hand, under the IMS architecture, it is through the initial filtering rules (Initial Filter

Criteria (abbreviated as IFC) controls the triggering of various services to achieve separation of services and control. However, this method of statically solving business interaction problems still leads to business conflicts. On the other hand, traditional networks have a large number of user devices, many Operators need to maintain existing services on traditional networks, and combine various existing services to provide a richer experience for user equipment. Therefore, upgrading traditional IMS to IMS cannot be abrupt, only gradual, and Time is 4 inches long.

In view of these two considerations, 3GPP has proposed the concept of Service Broker. In the IMS network architecture, Service Broker is the middle component of the core network and the intelligent service platform. For the core network, the intelligent service platform it sees is Service.
