Embodiments of the invention

In the voice mail service, if the user of the called terminal wants to listen to the voice message, it is necessary to dial the voice mail number, which causes the operation to be very inconvenient.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the notification message sent by the voice mail center is received; and when the voice message center is included in the voice mail center according to the notification message, the voice message is obtained and the notification of the voice message is displayed.

The embodiment of the invention is implemented as follows:

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for obtaining a voice message. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes:

Step 101: Receive a notification message sent by a voice mailbox center.

When the user of the calling terminal completes the message, the voicemail center stores the voice message, and sends a notification message to the called terminal; the called terminal receives the notification message. The voicemail center may send multiple types of notification messages, and each type of notification message includes a specific field, which is used to indicate whether the voicemail center contains a voice message belonging to the called terminal. For example, the following methods may be included: 1. Notification message based on TP-DCS (TP Data Coding Scheme); 2. TP-OA (Transmit Protocol-Originating Address) CPHS (Command) Notification message of TP-OA field mode in PCN Handset Specification, PCN mobile phone command specification; PCN, Personal Communication Network; 3. Transmit Protocol User Data Header Indicator based on TP-UDHI Notification message.

Step 102: Determine, according to the notification message, that when the voicemail center contains a voice message, the voice message is obtained and a notification of the voice message is displayed.

When the called terminal determines that the voicemail center contains a voice message, it needs to send a feedback message including the received voice message multimedia file to the voice mail center, and starts to receive the voice message sent by the voice mail center. The called terminal needs to judge whether the voicemail center contains a voice message according to the notification message, and generally can use various methods, for example:

1. When the notification message is based on the TP-DCS mode, determine whether the voice message center contains a voice message according to the bit value of the TP-DCS field, for example, when the 7th-4th bit of the TP-DCS field is binary. At 1101 or 1110, it means that there is an unread voice message in the voicemail center;

2. When the notification message is based on the TP-OA CPHS mode, obtain the address in the original SME Address field of the Voice Message Waiting Indicator (Originating SME Address Field) Value (Address Value); when the Set/Clear Indicator in the address value is 1, it indicates that there is a voice message, and 0 means that there is no voice message;

3. When the notification message is based on the TP-UDHI (Transmit Protocol-User Data Header Indicator), the IE is obtained. When the IE is equal to 0X01, it indicates that there is a voice message.

When the called terminal determines that there is a voice message in the voicemail center, the voicemail flag bit on the identity card, ie, Mailbox Dialing Numbers, is modified, so that after the called terminal reads the information in the identity card, The user will be prompted to have a voice message in the voicemail center according to the modified voicemail flag. The manner of displaying the notification of the voice message may be one or more of ringing, vibration, and screen display; when the user of the called terminal knows that there is a voice message, and inputting the operation of listening to the voice message, the called terminal You can immediately play the local voice message. In this process, the user of the called terminal does not need to call back the voicemail number, so that it is convenient and quick to listen to the voice message.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the notification that the voice message is displayed includes: displaying the notification by using a push message; and receiving an operation instruction for pushing the message, such as an operation of the user clicking the push message, playing the voice leave a message.

When the user operates the push message, the terminal automatically plays the voice message, so that the user can conveniently and quickly listen to the voice message without manually dialing the voice mailbox number.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the notification of the voice message is displayed, the method further includes: sending, to the voice mail center, feedback information including the notification that the notification has been read. After the notification of the voice message is displayed, in order to maintain the consistency of the state of the called terminal and the voice mail center, the called terminal needs to send feedback information including the notification that the notification has been read to the voice mail center. As an alternative, feedback information including notifications that have been read can be sent via the RCS (Rich Communication Suite) protocol.

Optionally, after the notification of the voice message is displayed, the method further includes: sending, to the voicemail center, feedback information including a state in which the voice message has been downloaded, read, or deleted. After the notification of the voice message is downloaded, read or deleted, in order to maintain the consistency of the state of the called terminal and the voice mail center, the called terminal needs to send to the voice mail center that the voice message has been downloaded, read or deleted. Feedback.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the playing the voice message, the method for listening to the voice message further includes: sending, to the voice mail center, feedback information including that the voice message has been played. In the embodiment of the present invention, the voice message is played on the called terminal. Therefore, in order to maintain the consistency of the state of the called terminal and the voice mail center, after the voice message is played, the voice message needs to be sent to the voice mail center, including the voice message. Feedback information that has been played. As an optional way, feedback information including that the voice message has been played can be sent through the RCS protocol.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the obtaining a voice message from a voice mail center includes: a protocol for obtaining the voice message from a voice mail center, including a converged communication RCS protocol and a hypertext transfer protocol (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) Transfer Protocol).

RCS breaks through the framework of voice and messaging applications, and integrates various communication methods and functions such as voice, messaging, video, presentation technology, and community network. It is regarded by operators as a future communication product, providing users with a converged and rich communication experience. It has the following advantages: 1. Rich business types; 2. Open API (Application Programming Interface), enabling operators to provide special services or let third parties develop new services; 3. The terminal industry chain follows GSMA ( Standards such as the Global System for Mobile Communications Alliance, the 3GPP (The 3rd Generation Partnership Project) and the OMA (Open Mpbile Alliance) reduce the workload of custom terminals. Therefore, the use of the RCS protocol to obtain voice messages has the advantages of low cost, easy development, and the like.
