Description

Method and device for transmitting information

Technical field

This document relates to, but is not limited to, the field of communications, and in particular to a method and apparatus for information transmission.

Background technique

Instant Messaging (IM) system can be said to be the most influential communication tool after email. With the rise of the mobile Internet and the popularity of smart terminals (eg, mobile phones, tablets, etc.), the instant messaging system has also launched an impact on the traditional telecommunications field. Unlike operating systems and browsers, instant messaging systems do not have a product that dominates the world. In China, although some instant messaging products have a large customer base, due to product characteristics, industry differences in user engagement, and user habits, there are still many situations in which instant messaging software coexists. In the rapidly developing field of the Internet, there will be instant messaging software with new features and features. However, from another perspective, many instant messaging softwares are basically consistent in basic communication functions. Competition between different instant messaging software should focus more on differentiated services. The basic communication function should gradually evolve a public basic service of the Internet.

For users, the intercommunication of instant messaging software will further remove the barriers of network communication and greatly facilitate people's lives. Users do not need to install a bunch of similar software on their own terminals, and the user's valuable terminal resources should be used reasonably.

For the entire industry, the interconnection of instant messaging software will “release” a large number of users and further activate the innovation capability of the entire industry: some new products with development potential will have a broader starting space; some independent viability Poor, but the unique products can be complemented by the intercommunication of instant messaging software; for some leading service providers, it may cause a certain loss of customers, but this will also promote They pay more attention to the needs of users and further improve and optimize their services. However, most of the instant messaging software at this stage is completely closed. In order to achieve interoperability, there are many difficulties in both technical and business operations.

The inventor of the present invention found in the research process that Rich Communication Suite (RCS) is a set of voice, instant messaging, file transmission, content sharing, presentation, A converged communication service that integrates multiple communication methods such as location services. RCS enables operators to smoothly transition to open Internet services based on existing telecommunications services. In addition, one of the characteristics of the RCS is that the user identity (ID) is based on the mobile phone number. This enables RCS to inherit the large user base of traditional telecom services, and this feature also makes RCS have an inherent advantage in the interconnection of different instant messaging systems.

In order to make the description of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the following description and description are made in conjunction with the exemplary embodiments.

An alternative embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for information transmission between an RCS message system and a third party IM agent. The method forwards the message through the IM agent, and minimizes the coupling degree between different systems while the message intercommunication, and realizes transparent intercommunication for the third-party IM system.

The above IM agent includes two parts: a third-party IM platform side and an RCS side;

On the third-party IM platform side, the proxy user management module registers multiple accounts on the third-party IM platform side, and all messages entering and leaving the third-party IM platform are forwarded using the registered account. For the IM platform, these accounts are normal users, so the protocol conversion of the message is transparent to the third-party IM platform;

On the RCS side, the protocol is converted using the Http/Https protocol as an intermediate protocol.

The information transmission steps of an alternative embodiment of the present invention are as follows:

Step 1: Add a proxy user: Based on the principle of the user's voluntariness, when the user of the third-party IM platform needs to open the cross-platform messaging service, the RCS proxy user (equivalent to the above-mentioned IM proxy) registered on the third-party IM platform is added as a friend. ;

Step 2, Session Initiation: Since the RCS user is using the public mobile number as the identity number (ID). The user ID of the third-party IM platform is unpredictable. Therefore, when a new cross-platform message needs to be initiated, a third-party IM user needs to initiate a session request, and the third-party IM user will use the mobile phone number of the destination user (equivalent to The above RCS user identifier) and the content of the verification message are sent to the RCS proxy user (equivalent to the above IM proxy);

After receiving the message, the RCS proxy user parses out the sender ID (equivalent to the above-mentioned IM user identity), the recipient ID (mobile phone number) (corresponding to the above-mentioned RCS user identity), and the message content. Then, through the Http/Https protocol, the contents of the three fields are sent to the RCS system. After receiving the message through the Http/Https interface, the RCS system performs routing according to the destination number, and sends the message to the destination user. After receiving the message, the destination user receives the message. The parsing is performed to obtain the ID of the sender in addition to the content of the message. If the destination user agrees to add the third-party IM user as a friend, the sender ID is saved and added as a friend. If the destination user refuses to add this third-party IM user as a friend, the sender ID is not saved;

After the completion of the session initiation, if the recipient agrees to add the sender as a friend, the parties can start communicating;

Step 3, Inbound Session: A third-party IM user who wants to send a message to an RCS user is the same as the session initiation. Sending a message to the RCS proxy user, the RCS proxy user forwards the message to the RCS system through the Http/Https protocol, and the RCS system converts the message into an internal protocol of the system, and finally forwards the message to the RCS user;

Step 4, Outbound Session: If the RCS user wants to send a message to a third-party IM user. You can select the user who needs to send a message in your friends list and then send a message. According to the IM platform to which the third-party IM user belongs, the sent message will have different domain name tags. The RCS system converts the message into the Http/Https protocol format, and forwards the message to the corresponding IM agent according to different domain name tags. After receiving the message, the IM proxy module parses the destination user ID and the message content, and sends the message to the destination user by using the internal protocol of the current IM platform;

Step 5: Identity authentication: In the RCS system, the proxy user exists in a specific proxy server, so the identity of the proxy user can be guaranteed, but in the third-party IM system, the proxy user appears as a normal account, so For ordinary IM users, it is necessary to be able to authenticate the authenticity of the proxy user. Since the RCS system integrates the traditional telecommunication service and the emerging Internet service, the three-way handshake can be implemented through the short message system to complete the identity authentication;

First handshake: The IM user sends a verification message to the RCS user. The message content can be random content, and the SMS system sends the verification message to the RCS user.

The second handshake: After receiving the verification SMS, the RCS user constructs a new verification message. The new verification information includes two parts: the authentication information of the IM user and the verification information of the RCS user, and the verification information is sent to the IM through the RCS system. Users, IM users can verify the authenticity of the proxy user by receiving the verification information through the IM system and checking whether the verification information is correct.

The third handshake: The RCS user authentication information part of the authentication information received by the IM user is sent to the RCS user through the short message system. After receiving the information, the RCS user can verify the authenticity of the IM user.

The optional embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

4 is an architectural diagram of a system for information transmission according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, an IM user sends information to an IM proxy through an IM system, and an IM proxy performs protocol conversion on the information, and the information is transmitted through the Http/Https protocol. Sended to the RCS system, the RCS system sends the information to the RCS user, and the RCS user can add the IM user to the buddy list;
