Description

Network telephone connection processing method and device

Technical field

The present application relates to, but is not limited to, the field of communications, and in particular, to a network telephone connection processing method and apparatus.

Background technique

On the terminal, users often use VoIP. After entering the fourth generation of mobile communication technology (4G) era, the mobile Internet has a faster network speed and lower traffic charges. Therefore, users use VoIP on mobile terminals more frequently.

Internet telephony has a natural advantage: basically all VoIP phones are encrypted and transmitted, and their confidentiality is superior to that of ordinary circuit domain phones.

However, as we all know, there is a big disadvantage in Internet telephony, that is, the called party must be kept connected to the data network to ensure that the called party is called at any time.

However, for reasons of saving money, power saving, etc., most users' mobile terminals usually keep the circuit domain always online and are not connected to the data network. Therefore, it is not possible to use the VoIP phone to dial the called party at any time like dialing a normal circuit domain telephone, which causes inconvenience in using the VoIP phone.

In the related art, the protocol does not specify a connection method of the network telephone, and the instant connection of the network telephone can be realized or the user's mobile terminal needs to always connect to the data network or modify the implementation of the protocol stack. Recently, China Mobile has promoted a network phone instant connection solution applied on the LTE (Long Term Evolution) network, which is to modify the protocol stack. Only the mobile phone supporting the protocol can realize the instant connection of the network phone.

If the user needs to connect to the data network all the time, he can't enter the sleep state, otherwise he will not be able to wake up from sleep immediately. This is obviously very power-consuming, which greatly shortens the standby time of the mobile phone.

The China Mobile solution can only be used on new mobile phones that support the modified protocol in the future, and cannot be applied to the existing 3G and 4G smart phones that users already have, and cannot be intercommunicated with Telecom and China Unicom. The range is small.

Step S202, receiving a call request message sent by the calling terminal, where the call request message is used to request to call the called terminal on the data network;

Step S204, determining that the called terminal is not currently connected to the data network, and instructing the called terminal to connect to the data network;

Step S206, in the case that it is determined that the called terminal successfully connects to the data network, the call request message is sent to the called terminal through the data network.

Through the above steps, in the case that it is determined that the called terminal is not currently connected to the data network, the called user is instructed to connect to the data network, and a call request message for requesting to call the called terminal on the data network is sent to the data network through the data network. The called terminal, in the related art, requires the called terminal to be connected to the data network all the time to call the called terminal through the data network. The above steps solve the problem that the related technology cannot be dialed at any time like the ordinary circuit domain telephone. The called party's problem, in turn, does not require the called terminal to be connected to the data network all the time, and can call the called terminal at any time, just like a normal circuit domain telephone.

It should be noted that, the embodiment does not limit the manner in which the called terminal implements the data network connection. For example, the called terminal may perform network connection through the cellular mobile network, or perform network through a wireless local area network (WLAN). connection.

The above step S204 involves instructing the called terminal to connect to the data network. It should be noted that the called terminal can be connected to the data network in various manners, which will be exemplified below. In an alternative embodiment, the called terminal is called through the circuit domain to indicate that the called terminal is connected to the data network.

After indicating that the called terminal is connected to the data network, in an alternative embodiment, in the event that the called terminal fails to call the called terminal through the circuit domain, a call failure message is sent to the calling terminal to indicate The calling terminal, the currently called terminal has not been connected to the data network, and the calling terminal cannot call the called terminal through the data network. In the call failure message, the indication information indicating the reason for the failure of the called terminal to be called may be carried, wherein the reason indicated by the indication information includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: the called terminal is in arrears, called The terminal is shut down, the called terminal is not in the service area, and the calling terminal dials an empty number.

After indicating that the called terminal is connected to the data network, in another optional embodiment, in the case of determining that the called terminal fails to connect to the data network, a call failure message is sent to the calling terminal to indicate that the calling terminal is The called terminal cannot connect to the data network, and the calling terminal cannot call the called terminal through the data network. The indication information indicating the reason for the failure of the called terminal to be terminated may be included in the call failure message, where the reason indicated by the indication information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the timeout cannot be connected to the called party, The called terminal initiates call forwarding.

In the above step S206, it is determined that the called terminal is successfully connected to the data network.

In another alternative embodiment, in the event that the called terminal rejects the call request message, a call failure message is sent to the calling terminal. The indication information indicating the reason for the failure of the called terminal to be terminated may be carried in the call failure message, where the reason indicated by the indication information includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: the called terminal refuses to connect to the calling party. Call from the terminal.

The reason for the various call failures is to bring the user a seamless experience like a regular circuit domain phone. On the MSC (Mobile Switching Center) side, the normal circuit area phone uses different sound boards to play sounds according to the reason of the call failure. For example, in the related art, "Hello, the user you dialed is on a call, please dial later" and so on. Returning these reasons to the calling party, on the one hand, the calling party terminal can be displayed to the user on the interface, and on the other hand, the recording can be played on the terminal side: "Hello, the user you dialed is in a call. , please dial later" and other custom voice prompts. This brings the feeling closer to the ordinary circuit domain In other words, it is better than the current VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) to display the prompt "call failure".

In the above step S204, it is determined that the called terminal is not currently connected to the data network. In an optional embodiment, by determining that the called terminal is currently offline on the server, it is determined that the called terminal is not currently connected to the data network.

For example, the examples in this embodiment may refer to the examples described in the foregoing embodiments and the optional embodiments, and details are not described herein again.

In view of the above problems in the related art, a connection mode of a network telephone is needed, which does not require the called party to be always connected to the data network, but can call the called party at any time like a normal circuit domain telephone. Such a VoIP phone should be similar to a normal circuit domain phone in terms of delay in the process of connecting to the phone, so as to bring a good experience to the user. The main purpose of the optional embodiment is to provide a network telephone connection method, which does not require the called party to be connected to the data network all the time, but can call the called party at any time like a normal circuit domain telephone; and use the method to implement Terminal.

The solution of this alternative embodiment is designed as follows:

A is the calling party, B is the called party, and C is the VoIP server.

A initiates a request to C to call B:

C checks whether B is connected to the data network. If B is connected to the data network, C notifies B that there is a call from A, so B appears on the called interface and rings, and B can choose to answer or reject.

If B is not connected to the data network, C will dial B on the circuit domain:

If B can receive an incoming call from C, B can judge that this is a call from C according to the characteristics of the incoming call (the optional call feature is a specific caller number), and then automatically hang up the call. After that, B actively connects to the data network (for example, by connecting to WiFi), and the reply C is already online. Then C informs B that there is a call from A, so B appears the called interface and rings, and B can choose to answer or reject.

If for some reason (for example: arrears, shutdown, out of service area, empty number, etc.), B cannot receive an incoming call from C in the circuit domain, C can know that the phone cannot be connected from the layer three message returned from the circuit domain. The reason, then C replies A for this reason can not connect B, this call failed.

The above process is similar to the called process on the circuit domain specified by the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) protocol, except that it utilizes the first half of the called process of the circuit domain (ie, the process before Alerting). Wake up the called party, and then the called party actively connects to the data network, and "switches" the second half of the called process (Alerting and the processes after it) to the data network.

This embodiment provides a connection method of a network phone. FIG. 10 is a schematic flowchart of a method for connecting a network telephone according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10, the method includes the following steps:

Step S1001: The calling party initiates a request to the network server, and requests to call the called party;

Step S1002: The network server dials the called party on the circuit domain, and the called party automatically hangs up the phone, and then actively connects to the data network and logs in to the network server;

Step S1003: The network server connects the calling party and the called party into one network call.

In this embodiment, the network server performs step S1002 on the premise that the network server finds that the called party is not connected to the data network. The optional decision method is that the network server determines whether the called party is online on the network server. That is: when the called party is online, the ordinary network telephone connection process is performed; The flow of this embodiment is performed when the called party is not online.

The premise that the called party performs step S1002 is that the called party judges that the circuit domain incoming call is a special incoming call. The optional decision condition is a specific caller number. The called party should log in to the network server immediately after connecting to the data network.

In step S1003, after the network server connects the two parties into one network telephone, the called party will have an incoming call interface for the called user to answer or reject the incoming call.

If the called party cannot receive an incoming call on the circuit domain for some reason (for example, arrears, shutdown, out of service area, empty number, etc.), the network server can learn from the layer 3 message returned by the circuit domain that the call cannot be obtained. The reason for the connection is that the caller cannot answer the called party for this reason, and the call fails.

If the network server dials the called party's call successfully, but for some reason (for example, the called party is set to not respond to the special call in step S1002, the called party is not connected to the data network for unknown reasons, etc.), after Within a certain period of time, the network server does not receive the reply from the called party, and the network server does not wait for the called party to log in (ie, timeout) for a period of time and then replies to the calling party because the timeout cannot reach the called party, this call failure.

The network telephone connection method will be described below with a more specific process diagram.

FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing a process in which a called party is not connected to a data network when a network telephone establishes a connection according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The premise of the flow shown in Figure 11 is that when the network phone establishes a connection, the called party is not connected to the data network, and only the circuit domain is connected, and the telephone from the circuit domain can be received.

As shown in FIG. 11, the process includes the following steps:

Step S1101: The calling party initiates a request to the network server to request to call the called party.

Step S1102: The network server knows that the called party is not connected to the data network, and then calls the called party through the circuit domain to try to wake up the called party;

Step S1103: The called party receives a call from the circuit domain;

Step S1104: The called party determines that the call is from the network server according to the characteristics of the incoming call (the optional call feature is a specific caller number), and then automatically hangs up the call;

Step S1105: The called party sends a connection request to the data network.

Step S1106: the called party connects to the data network successfully;

Step S1107: The called party logs in and responds to the network server, and informs the network server that the data network has been successfully connected;

Step S1108: The network server notifies the called party that there is a call from the calling party;

Step S1109: The called party replies to the network server: the call has been confirmed, and the party has already ringed;

Step S1110: The network server replies to the calling party: the call has been confirmed, and the called party has ringed;

Step S1111: The called party replies to the network server: the party chooses to answer or reject the call;

Step S1112: The network server replies to the calling party: the called party selects to answer or reject the call. If the called party chooses to answer the call, the network server can help the calling party and the called party to communicate as a network call.

FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of a process when a called party has connected to a data network when a network telephone establishes a connection according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The premise of the flow shown in Figure 12 is that when the network phone establishes a connection, the called party has connected to the data network and logged into the network server, so the server knows that the called party has connected to the data network.

As shown in FIG. 12, the process includes the following steps:

Step S1201: The calling party initiates a request to the network server to request to call the called party.

Step S1202: The network server notifies the called party that there is a call from the calling party;

Step S1203: The called party replies to the network server: the call has been confirmed, and the party has already ringed;

Step S1204: The network server replies to the calling party: the call has been confirmed, and the called party has ringed;

Step S1205: The called party replies to the network server: the party chooses to answer or reject the call;

Step S1206: The network server replies to the calling party: the called party selects to answer or reject the call. If the called party chooses to answer the call, the network server can help the calling party and the called party to communicate as a network call.

FIG. 13 is a flow chart showing when a called party is not connected to a data network and cannot receive a call from a circuit domain when a network telephone establishes a connection according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The premise of the process shown in Figure 13 is that the called party does not connect to the data network when the network phone establishes a connection, and the called party cannot receive the circuit from the circuit for some reasons (for example: arrears, shutdown, out of service area, empty number, etc.) Domain phone. Or the network server dials the called party's call successfully, but for some reason (for example, the called party sets not to respond to the special call in step S1002, the called party is not connected to the data network for unknown reasons, etc.), After a certain period of time, the network server did not receive a reply from the called party, and the network server waited for a timeout.

As shown in FIG. 13, the process includes the following steps:

Step S1301: The calling party initiates a request to the network server, and requests to call the called party;

Step S1302: The network server knows that the called party is not connected to the data network, and then dials a call to the called party through the circuit domain, and attempts to wake up the called party;

Step S1303: The circuit domain replies to the network server for some reason (for example: arrears, shutdown, out of service area, empty number, etc.), and the called party fails. Or the network server dials the called party's phone successfully, but for some reason, the network server does not receive the response from the called party within a certain period of time, and the network server waits for a timeout.

Step S1304: The network server replies to the calling party, and the called party cannot be connected for some reason, and the call fails.

The implementation of the processing logic of the called party terminal for feature incoming calls is as follows:

FIG. 14 is a flowchart of processing of a called party terminal network telephone connection according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 14, the following is illustrated in chronological order:

In the normal called process, the protocol stack of the called party terminal sends a Layer 3 message to the MSC on the one hand after sending a Layer 3 message Call Confirmed to the Mobile Switching Center (MSC). Alerting (meaning that the called party has ringed), and on the other hand sends a RING message to the MMI (Man Machine Interface), which informs the MMI that the incoming call interface should be displayed;

After receiving the RING message, the MMI checks the characteristics of the incoming call and determines whether the call is from the server, that is, the feature call, according to the feature;

As an optional example, determining whether the phone number carried in the RING message is a specific caller number (for example, the specific caller number can be preset to 12345670000). If the phone number carried in the RING message is the specific caller number, it is determined that the phone number carried in the RING message is the phone number of the server, and the call is from the server; otherwise, it is determined that the phone number carried by the RING message is not the server. Phone number, the call is not from the server.

As another optional example, it is determined whether the phone number carried in the RING message is in a specific caller number segment (for example, the caller number segment is from 12345670000 to 12345679999), if the phone number carried in the RING message is in the above specific In the caller number segment, it is determined that the phone number carried by the RING message is the server's phone number, and the call is from the server; otherwise, it is determined that the phone number carried by the RING message is not the server's phone number, and the call is not from the server. .

In Figure 14, DISCONNECT, Release, Release Complete are all Layer 3 messages; ATH is the AT (Attention) command to hang up the phone; AT+CGACT=1, 1 means connected AT command for data networks. The Layer 3 message and the AT command are well known to those skilled in the art, and thus will not be described again.

It should be noted that the foregoing method for determining the telephone number of the server is only an example, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

If it is not a feature call, it will be processed according to the normal process to display the incoming call interface;

If it is a feature call, hang up the call;

After the feature call is hanged up, the called party actively connects to the data network;

If the connection data network is successful, it interacts with the server to obtain information such as the caller number and displays the incoming call interface.

Wherein, as shown in FIG. 15, when the called party connects to the data network successfully,

Step S1501: The called party logs in to the server with its own username and password (the optional username is the called party's phone number, and the optional password is the password set when the called party registers on the server);

Step S1502: The server confirms that the called party has successfully logged in;

Step S1503: The server notifies the calling party that the called party is online;

Step S1504: The server notifies the called party that there is a call from the calling party, and the calling party has The phone number, so the called party displays the incoming call interface, displays the phone number and the matching contact name to the user, and rings (and/or vibrates, depending on the user settings) to prompt the user;

Step S1505: The called party replies to the server: the call has been confirmed, and the party has ringed;

Step S1506: The server replies to the calling party: the call has been confirmed, and the called party has ringed;

After the user selects to answer, step S1507: the called party replies to the server: the party chooses to answer the call, and has the called party network protocol (IP, Internet Protocol) address;

Step S1508: The server replies to the calling party: the called party selects to answer the call, and has the IP address of the called party;

Step S1509: The calling party replies to the server, confirms that the call is established, and the calling party IP address and the listening port number are included therein;

Step S1510: The server replies to the called party, confirms that the call is established, and includes the calling party IP address and the listening port number;

Step S1511: The called party does not pass through the server, but directly connects the IP address and the listening port number of the calling party. After the calling party checks the IP address of the called party, the two parties establish a connection and start a VOIP call.

If the connection to the data network fails or the interaction with the server fails, the called party will retry a certain number of times within a certain time range. If it is not successful, the network call will be abandoned and the user will not see the incoming call prompt.

The called party can set the MMI to not further process the feature call.

The following is an example of an embodiment of the invention and a handset that has implemented the example.

In this example, the signaling in the interaction process on the data network, and the network call data are all encrypted transmission, that is, this is an encrypted phone;

The application created by the example is a pre-made application of the mobile phone, and is preset in the mobile phone when the mobile phone is shipped from the factory, and cannot be deleted;

The application created by this instance is given special permission, and the feature call can be intercepted under the MMI, so the user can not see the incoming call interface of the feature call;

The application created by this instance is given special permissions to actively connect or disconnect the data network;

Before use, the user needs to register his real phone number on the server. The server sends a text message with a verification code to the number for authentication, and binds the SIMI of the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card (International Mobile Subscriber). Identification Number, International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number);

The flow of establishing a network call in this example is shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 11, and FIG. 12, and therefore will not be described again.

The waiting time from the caller to the server to answer the call confirmation is 60 seconds; if the call confirmation is not received within 60 seconds, the server is faulty and the call fails.

The server waits for 45 seconds from the success of dialing the circuit domain call to receive the called party's reply to the call confirmation. If the reply is not received within 45 seconds, the server should reply to the calling party, the called party fails, and the call fails.

The timeout period from the receipt of the feature call to the successful interaction with the server is 40 seconds. Once it times out, it will not be retried. If the network call is abandoned, the user will not get an incoming call prompt.

After the server receives the called party's call confirmation, the waiting time for the called party to answer the answer or reject the call is 50 seconds; similarly, after receiving the server call confirmation, the calling party waits for the called party to answer or reject the call. The waiting time for the call is also 50 seconds. If there is no reply after the timeout, it is considered as rejection;

After the called party rings, it needs to reply to the server within 50 seconds to answer or reject the call. If the user has not selected it for more than 50 seconds, it is regarded as the user's rejection.

The calling party can notify the server to cancel the call at any time during the above process, and the server will notify the called party to cancel the call.

A terminal that can make a network call to each other using the network connection method described herein may be a mobile phone in the related art.

The application created by this example does not have to be preset in the phone at the factory, or it can be installed as a third-party application on the mobile phone. It can still intercept feature calls and actively connect or disconnect the data network, but the user experience is slightly worse (users may Will see the feature call interface flashes and disappears).

When the called party's mobile phone is in a sleep state, the phone from the circuit domain will wake up the mobile phone, and if it is a feature call, it will trigger the aforementioned process of establishing a network telephone connection. Need to pay attention to: mobile phone Sue After waking up, it is possible to go to sleep again, which will affect the success rate of connecting to the data network. Therefore, the application created by this instance should prevent the phone from going to sleep again during the entire connection process until the end of the process.

In summary, the network telephone connection method according to the embodiment of the present invention has the same delay and the connection rate in the process of connecting the telephone, and the user experience is good; the user does not need to be connected to the data network all the time. , power saving; installed on a smart machine in the form of a third-party application, can be used across different types of mobile phones, a large range of use.
