Description

一种执行呼叫相关业务的方法、装置及系统
本申请要求于2022年02月28日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202210212015.9、申请名称为“一种执行呼叫相关业务的方法、装置及系统”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种执行呼叫相关业务的方法、装置及系统。
背景技术
一种基于网际互连协议(Internet Protocol,IP)网络上提供多媒体业务的通用网络架构,即多媒体子系统(IP Multimedia Subsystem,IMS),是通信运营商可提供的一种全新的多媒体业务形式,能够满足终端客户新颖、多样化的多媒体业务需求。
应用服务器(Application Server,AS)是IMS系统中应用层的设备,如图1所示,IMS系统通常包括多个AS,用于提供基本业务、补充业务、多媒体会议以及融合通讯等业务,通常可以将某个AS提供的业务称为AS业务。例如,IMS系统包括多媒体电话设备(MultiMediaTelephony,MMTel)AS、彩铃AS以及智能AS等,示例性的,智能AS可以为用户提供的AS业务包括预付费提醒业务。AS与呼叫会话控制功能(Call Session Control Function,CSCF)网元之间可以通过会话初始协议(Session initialization Protocol,SIP)协议进行交互,进而实现各种网络业务的触发和执行。
目前,AS业务中包括次序敏感型业务,也称非独立的AS业务或者有依赖的AS业务,具体是指该AS业务对应的呼叫控制指令的生成依赖于另一AS业务生成的呼叫控制指令中的部分或全部信息。
示例性的,某用户购买了小号业务和预付费提醒业务,其中,预付费提醒业务可以根据用户号码的余额进行语音提示以控制该用户的通话业务,小号业务是指用户可以申请一个主号码之外,额外申请一个辅助号码(也叫小号),主号和小号共用一张用户身份识别卡(Subscriber Identification Module,SIM),在IMS系统中主号和小号被视为同一个用户的号码。若小号和主号是分别计费的,则预付费提醒业务生成的语音提示一般不同,则认为预付费提醒业务是有依赖的AS业务。
而目前的AS业务并行触发机制,使多个AS业务的呼叫控制指令被并行地产生,乃至被并行地执行,从而一个AS无法基于其他AS产生的呼叫控制指令生成自己的呼叫控制指令。例如,CSCF网元接收小号AS发送的用户号码变更指令,用于指示将该呼叫业务对应的主叫号码变更为小号号码;CSCF网元还接收智能AS发送的放音指令(即用于指示CSCF向用户设备播放音频内容的呼叫控制指令),用于指示向主叫用户播放主号对应的预付费提示音。此时,CSCF网元并行执行呼叫控制指令,即同时执行号码变更和播放主号对应的预付费提示音。但是从这两个业务的用户体验需求来说,CSCF网元向主叫用户播放的应该是小号对应的预付费提示音,而不是主号对应的预付费提示音,这就影响了用户体验。
如何降低AS业务并行触发机制对用户体验的影响,是亟需解决的问题。

根据负责功能的不同,可以将CSCF网元分为:代理CSCF(Proxy CSCF,P-CSCF)网元、查询CSCF(Interrogating CSCF,I-CSCF)网元、服务CSCF(Serving CSCF S-CSCF)网元和紧急CSCF(Emergency CSCF,E-CSCF)网元等。上述不同的CSCF网元本质上都是SIP服务器,用于处理通信过程中的SIP信令。
其中,呼叫业务可以指用户设备(user equipment,UE)以主叫身份或者被叫身份参与,经通信网络接续与其他UE之间进行的语音通话业务或视频通话业务。以UE为主叫为例,呼叫业务可以为UE拨打手机号码、座机号码或客服中心号码而进行的语音通话业务或者视频通话业务;或者,呼叫业务可以为UE通过即时通讯(real time communication,RTC)应用呼叫其他UE而进行的语音通话业务或者视频通话业务。以UE为被叫为例,呼叫业务可以为UE接收手机、座机或客服中心的呼叫而进行的语音通话业务或者视频通话业务;或者,呼叫业务可以为UE通过RTC应用接收其他UE的呼叫而进行的语音通话业务或者视频通话业务。在本申请的实施例中呼叫业务也可以简称为呼叫业务。
应用服务器AS是IMS网络中为用户提供各种特定的多媒体服务的网元,IMS网络中通常包括多个AS,用于提供多种不同的业务。例如,IMS网络中可以包括用于提供多媒体电话基本业务及补充业务的多媒体电话(MultiMediaTelephony,MMTEL)AS,用于为用户提供彩铃业务的多媒体回铃音(Multimedia Ring Back Tone,MRBT)AS,以及其他各种第三方的AS等。
另外,IMS网络中还可以包括呼叫业务使能功能(Call Service Enabler Functions,CSEF)实体或业务使能功能(Service Enabler Functions,SEF)实体。其中,CSEF/SEF实体可以在IMS网络中独立部署,也可以部署于S-CSCF网元中,如图1所示,本申 请对此不做具体限定。
此外,如图1所示,IMS网络中还可以包括归属用户服务器(Home Subscriber Server,HSS)。HSS包含用户配置文件,可以用于执行用户的身份验证和授权。另外,HSS支持用于处理调用或呼叫会话的IMS网络实体的主要用户数据库。
随着通信技术的更新发展,本申请提供的执行呼叫相关业务的方法还可以应用于其他的通信系统,例如音视频新架构,或轻型IMS(Lite IMS)系统等。
参考图2示出了通信系统的结构示意图,该通信系统至少可以包括图2左图中所示的统一控制功能(Unified Control Functions,UCF)网元,以及服务和应用程序功能(Service and Application Functions,SAF)网元。其中,SAF网元的功能可以参考如图1中的应用服务器AS实现的功能,UCF网元的功能可以参考如图1中S-CSCF网元实现的功能。另外,UCF网元中还可以包括前述的CSEF实体,用于实现本申请实施例中CSEF实体实现的功能。
或者,如图2右图中所示,该通信系统还可以包括业务使能功能(Service Enabler Functions,SEF)实体。其中,SEF实体可以独立部署,SEF实体的功能可以参考如图1中S-CSCF网元实现的功能,以及用于实现本申请实施例中CSEF实体实现的功能;UCF网元可以用于实现前述IMS系统中CSCF网元中I-CSCF或P-CSCF网元等的功能。
目前,上述通信系统能够实现并行触发AS业务。示例性的,以图1所示的IMS网络为例,CSEF实体可以并行向多个应用服务器发送同一呼叫事件,多个应用服务器向CSEF实体并行发送呼叫控制指令,CSEF实体将接收到的多个呼叫控制指令进行合并处理之后,并行执行多个呼叫控制指令,对于其中包括的互斥指令采用择一执行或者依次执行的机制,从而实现并行触发AS业务。
其中,CSEF实体将接收到的多个呼叫控制指令进行合并处理,是指CSEF实体每接收到一个呼叫控制指令之后并不立即执行,而是先缓存或保存起来,直至收到预设个数的AS发送的预设个数的呼叫控制指令;可选地,合并处理还包括识别其中是否存在互斥指令。CSEF实体并行执行多个呼叫控制指令,是指CSEF实体不是依次执行这些呼叫控制指令,而是同时或者几乎同时执行这些呼叫控制指令,即在执行第一个呼叫控制指令之后不用等第一呼叫控制指令执行完成之后再执行第二个呼叫控制指令。
示例性的,如图3所示,CSEF实体并行触发AS业务的处理流程主要包括如下步骤。
步骤301:CSEF实体将呼叫事件并行发送给多个AS。
也就是,CSEF实体并行化向多个AS发送呼叫事件。其中,呼叫事件(Call Event),是指呼叫业务有关的事件。具体的,CSEF实体可以将呼叫业务过程中接收的各种通知消息通过“事件”这一数据格式通知给AS。例如,呼叫业务过程中接收的振铃通知(Ring),对应地CSEF实体向AS发送“振铃事件”;呼叫业务过程中接收的摘机通知(Answer),对应地CSEF实体向AS发送“摘机事件”。
在一种具体的实现方式中,CSEF实体提供服务化的应用程序接口(Application Programming Interface,API)供AS调用,从而与AS配合实现各类AS业务。
具体的,CSEF实体上包括呼叫事件订阅API,供AS调用,AS调用呼叫事件订 阅API(即发送呼叫事件订阅请求)时,可以将AS自身的地址作为通知地址发给CSEF实体。当呼叫业务过程中有某个呼叫事件发生时,CSEF实体可以根据之前AS的订阅请求和通知地址,将该呼叫事件发送至对应的AS。
在一种可能的实施方式中,Call Event可以是一个枚举值,列出可能通知AS的调用事件。
需要说明的是,此处的“并行发送”是指将同一个呼叫事件一起发送给各个AS,也就是说,将一个呼叫事件发送给第一个AS后,不需要等接收到来自第一个AS的响应消息,而是可以紧接着向第二个AS、第三AS……发送该呼叫事件。示例性的,CSEF实体将呼叫事件发送至AS1之后,无需等待来自AS1的响应消息,紧接着将该呼叫事件发送至AS2和AS3等。
步骤302:AS接收呼叫事件,根据呼叫事件和AS业务逻辑生成呼叫控制指令,向CSEF实体发送呼叫控制指令。
其中,每一个呼叫控制指令用于指示CSEF实体执行与呼叫业务有关的操作,例如,与某一用户的呼叫业务有关的操作。
具体地,与呼叫业务有关的操作是指,由CSEF实体为实现呼叫业务或增强呼叫业务而基于AS的业务逻辑所需要执行的操作。例如,彩铃AS发送给CSEF实体的呼叫控制指令可以为“向主叫用户设备播放被叫用户设置的彩铃音频”,用于指示CSEF实体执行放音操作(例如,触发媒体资源功能(Media Resource Function,MRF)实体执行放音操作)。再如,小号AS发送给CSEF实体的呼叫控制指令可以为“将主叫用户号码更改为小号,如123123”,用于指示CSEF实体将在被叫用户设备上显示的主叫用户号码的显示为123123。具有预付费提醒功能的智能AS发送给CSEF实体的呼叫控制指令可以为“提醒用户付费”,用于指示CSEF实体向对应的用户设备播放付费提醒对应的音频内容。
也就是,各个AS可以并行化处理同一呼叫事件,即各个AS收到该呼叫事件后立即处理,处于并行状态。
其中,AS根据自身的业务逻辑,得到该呼叫事件对应的呼叫控制指令。
步骤303:CSEF实体并行执行接收的多个呼叫控制指令。
CSEF实体逐个接收AS发送的呼叫控制指令,直至接收到订阅该呼叫事件的预设个数的AS对应的多个呼叫控制指令之后,合并处理多个呼叫控制指令,识别出多个呼叫控制指令中是否存在互斥指示。
其中,互斥指令表示至少两个呼叫控制指令对应的AS业务存在业务冲突。也就是说,CSEF实体对于并行收到的两条或者两条以上的呼叫控制指令,不能无感知的并行执行。例如,彩铃AS发送的彩铃放音指令,和提供多媒体电话基本业务及补充业务的多媒体电话(MultiMediaTelephony,MMTEL)AS发送的呼叫等待(Call Waiting,CW)提示音的放音指令等,CSEF实体无法并行执行两条不同的放音指令。
在一种实施方式中,如果CSEF实体识别出多个呼叫控制指令中不存在互斥指令,则CSEF实体并行执行所述多个呼叫控制指令;如果多个呼叫控制指令中包括互斥指令,如包含至少两个互相排斥的呼叫控制指令,则CSEF实体择一执行互斥指令中的呼叫控制指令,或者,依次执行互斥指令中的多个呼叫控制指令。其中,择一执行是 指CSEF实体选择互斥指令中的一个呼叫控制指令执行,舍弃互斥指令中其他的呼叫控制指令。
以小号业务和预付费提醒业务为例,示例性的,小号AS用于实现小号业务,智能AS用于实现预付费提醒业务。其中,智能AS的预付费提醒业务可以根据用户的资费状态、余额控制用户的通话业务。当用户需要进行通话时,智能AS会先计算通话费用并根据预付费账户的余额情况决定接受还是拒绝通话。另外,当用户预存的话费余额不足或者欠费时,智能AS将会基于主叫用户的号码播放对应的语音提示。如果同一用户对应多个不同的号码,则智能AS基于不同的号码生成的语音提示一般不同。因此,相对于小号业务,预付费提醒业务为对小号业务有依赖的AS业务。
在一种可能的实施场景中,当用户的主号与小号是独立计费的,也就说,主号与小号话费余额可以不同,智能AS的预付费提醒业务对应的放音指令的生成,需要依赖于小号AS生成的更改用户号码的呼叫控制指令。若智能AS直接生成(即不根据小号AS生成的更改用户号码的呼叫控制指令生成)放音指令,则预付费提醒业务对应的放音指令为根据主号的话费余额对应的语音提醒;若智能AS根据小号AS生成的更改用户号码的呼叫控制指令生成放音指令,则预付费提醒业务对应的放音指令为根据小号的话费余额对应的语音提醒。
然而,在AS业务并行触发机制下,一个AS无法基于其他AS生成的呼叫控制指令生成自己的呼叫控制指令,在有些场合下会影响用户体验;例如,上述智能AS无法根据小号AS生成的更改用户号码的呼叫控制指令生成放音指令,结果导致预付费提醒业务对应的放音指令为根据主号的话费余额对应的语音提醒,导致用户混淆了自己的两个账号的余额;因此,现有AS业务并行触发机制与用户体验对于有依赖的AS业务的需求是矛盾的,导致用户体验不好。

下述的实施例中仅以呼叫业务使能实体CSEF实体作为示例进行说明,但所执行的方法均可应用于S-CSCF网元、SEF实体等。
下面将结合附图,详细说明本申请的实施方式。如图5所示,该方法包括如下步骤。
步骤501:CSEF实体将呼叫事件并行发送给第一AS和第二AS。
具体的,CSEF实体将呼叫事件发送给第一AS后,可以接着向第二AS发送该呼叫事件,而不需要等接收到来自第一AS的响应消息之后再发送给第二AS。
其中,CSEF实体将呼叫事件并行发送给多个AS的相关说明可以参照前述的步骤301,此处不再赘述。
在一种实施方式中,CSEF实体将呼叫事件并行发送给多个AS之前,该方法还可以包括:在用户的呼叫业务发生时,CSEF实体可以获取呼叫事件,或者,CSEF实体基于终端设备的呼叫会话消息生成呼叫事件。也就是说,CSEF实体可以基于用户呼叫 业务中的各种会话消息生成对应的呼叫事件。
示例性的,呼叫事件可以包括初始呼叫事件、通知振铃事件Ring、摘机事件Answer或释放事件Release等。
例如,在IMS网络中将CSEF实体独立部署时,CSEF实体可以从CSCF网元获取呼叫事件,该呼叫事件可以是CSCF网元根据用户的呼叫业务中的各种会话消息生成的。或者,IMS网络中将CSEF实体部署于CSCF网元中时,CSEF实体可以基于用户呼叫业务中的各种会话消息生成对应的呼叫事件。
在一种实施方式中,在用户的呼叫业务发生之前,该方法还可以包括:
CSEF实体接收来自所述多个AS的用户身份标识以及所述用户对应的呼叫事件订阅信息。
也就是说,呼叫业务发生之前,AS可以通过订阅机制,向CSEF实体上报订阅该AS业务的用户对应的用户身份标识,以及该用户对应的呼叫事件订阅信息,例如,用户身份标识具体可以为用户身份识别卡(Subscriber Identification Module,SIM)的标识号。其中,呼叫事件订阅信息可以包括初始呼叫事件的订阅信息,初始呼叫事件作为必选的上报信息,其他的呼叫事件例如振铃事件或摘机事件等可以作为可选的上报信息。从而后续在用户的呼叫业务触发的过程中,当特定的呼叫事件发生时,CSEF实体可以根据之前AS上报的订阅信息,将特定用户的特定呼叫事件发送给该AS。
示例性的,呼叫事件还可以包括订阅类型通知事件Subscribe和取消订阅事件UnSubscribe等。
具体的,接收呼叫事件的每个AS可以根据AS自身的业务逻辑,基于呼叫事件生成对应的呼叫控制指令,具体参见步骤502和步骤503。
步骤502:第一AS根据呼叫事件和AS业务逻辑生成第一呼叫控制指令,向CSEF实体发送第一呼叫控制指令。
例如,假设主叫用户购买了第一AS上的彩铃业务,则第一AS可以根据接收的振铃呼叫事件,基于彩铃业务逻辑,生成放音指令,并向CSEF实体发送该放音指令,所述放音指令用于指示CSEF实体向被叫用户设备播放主叫用户对应的彩铃内容,示例性地,CSEF实体可以触发MRF实体向被叫用户设备播放主叫用户对应的彩铃内容。
步骤503:第二AS根据呼叫事件和AS业务逻辑生成第二呼叫控制指令,向CSEF实体发送第二呼叫控制指令;可选地,第二呼叫控制指令包括关联因素变化信息。
上述两个呼叫控制指令都用于指示CSEF实体执行与呼叫业务有关的不同操作,具体是与该用户的呼叫业务有关的操作。其中,呼叫业务有关的操作是指AS基于收到的呼叫事件,为了AS业务的实现而需要CSEF实体执行的相关操作。
例如,假设主叫用户购买了第二AS上的预付费提醒业务,第二AS可以根据主叫用户的预付费提醒业务的逻辑,基于主叫用户号码查询对应的资费状态,若为欠费状态或者低余额的状态,则第二AS生成的呼叫控制指令为放音指令,所述放音指令用于指示CSEF实体向主叫用户设备播放提示音,示例性地,CSEF实体可以触发MRF实体向主叫用户播放预付费提醒对应的音频内容。
也就是,各个AS可以并行化处理同一呼叫事件,即各个AS收到同一呼叫事件后并行处理,互不依赖。
其中,不同的AS可以根据自身的业务逻辑,得到该呼叫事件对应的呼叫控制指令。例如,彩铃AS可以根据被叫用户自身的彩铃播放业务逻辑,生成指示对主叫用户放音的PlayVoice呼叫控制指令。
示例性的,呼叫控制指令具体包括呼叫新用户指令CallnewUser、释放用户指令ReleaseUser、放音指令PlayVoice、增加、修改或者删除SDP的指令SDPAction、增加、修改或者删除呼叫参数的指令ParaAction等。其中,呼叫新用户指令用于指示呼叫新用户,释放用户指令用于指示释放当前呼叫事件对应的用户,放音指令用于指示对指定用户进行放音操作,SDPAction指令用于指示对会话描述协议(Session Description Protocol,SDP)参数进行增加、修改或删除操作,ParaAction指令用于指示对呼叫参数进行增加、修改或删除操作。
需要说明的是,在本申请的实施例中,多个AS之中包括至少一个AS所提供的业务是前述的有依赖的AS业务。示例性的,被依赖方AS即第二AS,可以为小号AS,用于实现小号业务,依赖方AS即第一AS可以为智能AS,用于实现预付费提醒业务。
进一步的,第二AS发送的第二呼叫控制指令中携带关联因素变化信息,所述关联因素变化信息用于指示所述呼叫业务的关联因素发生变化。
其中,关联因素(associated factor),即与所述呼叫业务相关的因素。在一种实施方式中,关联因素可以为第一应用服务器确定呼叫控制指令所依赖的因素之一,或者说,关联因素可以为第一应用服务器确定呼叫控制指令的输入之一。关联因素可以是主叫号码、被叫号码、资费状态或使用编解码等中的任一个。示例性的,关联因素具体的可以是呼叫业务相关联的某一参数,如主叫用户caller,被叫用户called等;或者,关联因素可以是呼叫业务相关联的运行状态,如用户对应的资费状态等。
在一种实施方式中,若关联因素变化信息中包括所述呼叫业务对应的第一参数发生变化的指示,则关联因素变化信息还可以包括所述第一参数变化后的值。
例如,小号AS可以根据自身的小号业务逻辑,发送的呼叫控制指令具体可以为修改呼叫参数的指令ParaAction。其中,ParaAction指令中可以包括指示呼叫参数caller发生变化的信息。即小号AS对应的ParaAction指令中的关联因素变化信息指示第一参数发生变化,即第一参数为caller,ParaAction指令中包括parachg:caller。则关联因素变化信息还可以包括caller变化后的值,例如caller变更为主叫用户的小号C,具体可以为ParaAction指令中包括caller:C。
或者,在另一种实施方式中,CSEF实体可以本地预先配置有第一参数可能的值,则CSEF实体可以根据本地配置以及关联因素变化信息确定第一参数变化后的值。例如,CSEF实体本地配置的第一参数caller的可能值为B或C,呼叫会话对应的caller一开始为B。则CSEF实体根据ParaAction指令中包括parachg:caller,可以确定第一参数caller变化后的值为C。
在一种实施方式中,AS与CSEF实体之间的信息交互,可以通过应用层的消息进行交互,例如,基于超文本传输协议(HyperText Transfer Protocol,HTTP)的消息,或者简单邮件传输协议(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol,SMTP)的消息或者其他类型的传输消息等。本申请的实施例对信息交互的格式和类型不做具体限定。
示例性的,CSEF实体向AS发送的呼叫事件,可以承载于HTTP请求消息,具体 可以承载于HTTP请求消息的URL中,也可以承载于HTTP请求消息的头字段,还可以承载于HTTP请求消息的消息体。以承载于HTTP请求消息的消息体为例,用于发送呼叫事件的示例性HTTP请求消息如下:
另外,在一种可能的实施例中,第二AS向CSEF实体发送的关联因素变化信息可以是单独发送的,即第二AS不是在第二呼叫控制指令中携带关联因素变化信息,而是在发送第二呼叫控制指令之前或之后,向CSEF实体发送关联因素变化信息。
至此,CSEF实体接收了两个呼叫控制指令。
在一种可能的实施方式中,步骤503中的第二呼叫控制指令不包括关联因素变化信息,为使CSEF实体有机会接收第三呼叫控制指令,CSEF实体可以进入等待状态(最大等待时长可以是预先设置的),这样在等待期间,CSEF实体可以跳过步骤504直接执行步骤505,以接收第三呼叫控制指令。可选地,如果等待超过预先设置的等待时长未收到第三呼叫控制指令,CSEF实体可以直接并行执行第一呼叫控制指令和第二呼叫控制指令。
在另一种可能的实施方式中,步骤503中的第二呼叫控制指令包含关联因素变化 信息,则CSEF实体可接着执行步骤504。
步骤504:CSEF实体根据关联因素变化信息向第一AS发送指令更新指示信息。
该步骤为可选。CSEF实体接收到多个AS发送的呼叫控制指令如第一呼叫控制指令和第二呼叫控制指令之后,可以根据第二呼叫控制指令中携带的关联因素变化信息确定是否触发第一AS重新发送呼叫控制指令,具体的,可以为向第一AS发送指令更新指示信息,用于指示第一应用服务器重新发送呼叫控制指令,以便将第一AS重新发送的呼叫控制指令替换之前第一AS发送的第一呼叫控制指令,从而再完成更新后指令的执行操作。
具体的,CSEF实体根据关联因素变化信息确定是否触发第一AS重新发送呼叫控制指令,可以根据第二AS发送的关联因素变化信息与第一AS对应的关联因素是否匹配来确定。
其中,第一AS对应的关联因素是指第一AS感兴趣的关联因素,即第一AS的业务执行所依赖的关联因素。也就是说,该呼叫业务对应的关联因素可以作为第一AS确定呼叫控制指令的输入之一。示例性的,若第一AS为彩铃AS,则彩铃AS确定呼叫控制指令即放音指令的多个输入可以包括主叫用户号码、被叫用户号码等,其中,彩铃AS对应的关联因素可以为多个输入中的被叫号码这一输入,即彩铃AS发送放音指令时对于被叫用户号码这一关联因素的变化是感兴趣的,不同的被叫用户号码对应的放音指令一般不同。
具体的,若第二AS发送的关联因素变化信息与第一AS对应的关联因素相匹配,则CSEF实体确定触发第一AS重新发送呼叫控制指令;若第二AS发送的关联因素变化信息与第一AS对应的关联因素不匹配,则CSEF实体确定不触发第一AS重新发送呼叫控制指令。
在一种实施方式中,为了让CSEF实体提前感知依赖方AS所感兴趣的关联因素,CSEF实体将呼叫事件并行发送给第一AS和第二AS之前,该方法还包括:CSEF实体获取第一AS对应的至少一个关联因素。
也就是说,CSEF实体可以获取确定呼叫控制指令的输入之一的呼叫业务的关联因素。
示例性的,第一AS对应的关联因素具体可以为第一AS感兴趣的特定参数变化,例如可以包括参数的修改、删除和新增等;或者,关联因素可以为业务运行状态如资费状态等。
在一种实施方式中,CSEF实体获取第一AS对应的关联因素可以通过本地配置的方式即静态方式,或者可以通过动态方式配置。
其中,静态配置即指在呼叫业务发生前,CSEF实体从本地或其他CSEF实体可以访问的设备读取预先配置的依赖方AS相关联的关联因素。
其中,动态方式配置是指,CSEF实体通过第一AS动态上报的信息中获取第一AS对应的关联因素。具体可以包括:
Step 1:第一AS向CSEF实体发送订阅请求,订阅请求包括第一AS确定呼叫控制指令所依赖的至少一个关联因素。
其中,订阅请求用于第一AS向CSEF实体请求订阅至少一个关联因素的变化情 况,即第一AS对于该至少一个关联因素的变化感兴趣,若CSEF实体确定该至少一个关联因素有变化,则可以向第一AS发送通知消息,例如关联因素变化信息,以使得第一AS获得所述至少一个关联因素的变化。
在一种实施方式中,订阅请求中还可以包括用户身份标识,用于指示该呼叫业务对应的用户。
Step 2:CSEF实体接收第一AS对应的至少一个关联因素。
具体的,CSEF实体可以通过接收来自第一AS的订阅请求,获取订阅请求中携带的第一AS对应的至少一个关联因素。
在一种实施方式中,CSEF实体可以接收第一AS对应的关联因素并存储,生成不同AS与对应关联因素的对应关系,以便后续可以查询,识别出是否存在第一AS感兴趣的关联因素对应的变化。具体的,CSEF实体可以根据第二AS发送的关联因素变化信息中包括的关联因素,查询并识别出该关联因素与第一AS对应的关联因素相匹配。
在一种实现方式中,指令更新指示信息包括所述关联因素的关联因素变化信息或所述至少一个关联因素。
其中,CSEF实体根据关联因素变化信息向第一AS发送指令更新指示信息,以触发第一AS重新发送呼叫控制指令的实现方式具体包括:
方式1、CSEF实体向第一AS发送关联因素变化信息,用于指示第一AS重新发送呼叫控制指令。
也就是说,CSEF实体可以将第二控制指令中携带的关联因素变化信息提取出来并转发至第一AS,从而指示第一AS重新发送呼叫控制指令。
方式2、CSEF实体根据关联因素变化信息向第一AS发送指令更新指示信息或者变化事件,用于指示第一AS重新发送呼叫控制指令。
也就是说,CSEF实体可以将第二控制指令中携带的关联因素变化信息提取出来,并根据关联因素变化信息重新生成指令更新指示信息,所述指令更新指示信息中可以包括所述关联因素变化信息中指示的关联因素。或者,CSEF实体可以根据关联因素变化信息生成对应的变化事件,从而所述指令更新指示信息或者变化事件用于指示第一AS重新发送呼叫控制指令。
在一种具体的实施方式中,CSEF实体根据关联因素变化信息向第一应用服务器发送指令更新指示信息或变化事件,具体可以包括:
CSEF实体根据关联因素变化信息查询第一AS对应的关联因素,例如,查询CSEF实体本地静态配置的或者动态获取的第一AS对应的关联因素。若关联因素变化信息中指示的关联因素与所述第一AS对应的关联因素相匹配,则向第一应用服务器发送指令更新指示信息或变化事件。
在一种可能的实施方式中,CSEF实体通过呼叫指令更新请求消息向第一AS发送指令更新指示信息或变化事件,即CSEF实体向第一AS发送指令更新请求消息,该请求消息包含上述指令更新指示信息或者变化事件。
可以理解,上述消息名称“呼叫指令更新请求消息”是示例性的,而非限定。
步骤505:第一AS向CSEF实体发送第三呼叫控制指令,第三呼叫控制指令用于替代第一呼叫控制指令。
其中,第三呼叫控制指令用于替代第一呼叫控制指令,也就是说,CSEF实体可以将第三呼叫控制指令替换掉或者覆盖掉之前的第一呼叫控制指令,并将第一呼叫控制指令进行删除。
在一种可能的实施方式中,第一AS可以根据CSEF实体的触发,向CSEF实体重新发送呼叫控制指令,即第三呼叫控制指令,这种情况下,第一AS可以通过呼叫指令更新响应消息(即上述呼叫指令更新请求消息对应的响应消息)向CSEF实体发送第三呼叫控制指令,即第一AS向CSEF实体发送呼叫指令更新响应消息,该响应消息包含第三呼叫控制指令;可选地,该响应消息还包含第一呼叫控制指令的相关信息,如第一呼叫控制指令的发送时间戳、标识甚至是第一呼叫控制指令的内容本身,以使CSEF实体确定第三呼叫控制指令是用于替换第一呼叫控制指令的;
在另一种可能的实施方式中,第一AS也可以根据其他因素(例如,从第二AS接收到关联因素变化信息)的触发向CSEF实体发送第三呼叫控制指令,向CSEF实体发送第三呼叫控制指令,这种情况下,第一AS可以通过呼叫指令更新通知消息向CSEF实体发送第三呼叫控制指令,即第一AS向CSEF实体发送呼叫指令更新通知消息,该通知消息包含第三呼叫控制指令;可选地,该通知消息还可以包含第一呼叫控制指令的有关信息,如第一呼叫控制指令的时间戳、标识甚至是第一呼叫控制指令的内容本身,以使CSEF实体确定第三呼叫控制指令是用于替换第一呼叫控制指令的。
可以理解,上述消息名称“呼叫指令更新响应消息”、“呼叫指令更新通知消息”是示例性的,而非限定。
示例性的,指令更新指示信息或者变化事件用于指示第一参数发生变化,或者,其中还包括第一参数变化后的值,则第三呼叫控制指令是第一AS根据第一参数变化后的值生成的。
步骤506:CSEF实体并行执行第二呼叫控制指令和第三呼叫控制指令。
也就是说,CSEF实体并行执行第二呼叫控制指令和第三呼叫控制指令,而不执行第一呼叫控制指令。
需要说明的是,CSEF实体接收到第一AS发送的第一呼叫控制指令和第二AS发送的第二呼叫控制指令之后,CSEF实体不会立即执行第一呼叫控制指令和第二呼叫控制指令,而是先判断第二AS发送的第二呼叫控制指令中携带的关联因素变化信息是否与本地存储的第一AS对应的关联因素进行匹配,从而CSEF实体可以根据匹配结果决策是否需要触发第一AS重新发送呼叫控制指令。若匹配结果为成功,CSEF实体确定需要触发第一AS重新发送呼叫控制指令,则CSEF实体不会并行执行第一呼叫控制指令和第二呼叫控制指令,而是等待第一AS发送新的呼叫控制指令即第三呼叫控制指令之后,再并行执行第三呼叫控制指令和第二呼叫控制指令,从而满足有依赖的AS业务的用户体验需求;若匹配结果为失败,则CSEF实体确定不需要触发第一AS重新发送呼叫控制指令,CSEF实体并行执行第一呼叫控制指令和第二呼叫控制指令。
在一种实施方式中,CSEF实体可以向第一AS及第二AS发送指令处理成功响应,用于向AS指示该AS对应发送的呼叫控制指令执行成功。
示例性的,下面以预付费提醒业务与小号业务作为示例说明AS并行处理的流程。如图6所示,第一AS为智能AS,第二AS为小号业务对应的小号AS。该方法可以包括如下步骤。
步骤600:智能AS向CSEF实体发送订阅请求。
订阅请求用于智能AS向CSEF实体上报智能AS感兴趣的关联因素,以请求订阅该关联因素的变化。例如,订阅请求具体可以为subscribe request消息。
其中,该订阅请求中可以携带指示智能AS感兴趣的关联因素parachg为主叫用户标识caller,即subscribe request包括parachg:caller。
示例性的,AS向CSEF实体发送的订阅请求可以承载于HTTP请求消息,HTTP请求消息如下:
步骤601:CSEF实体并行向小号AS和智能AS发送呼叫事件。
其中,呼叫事件可以是初始呼叫事件(如initcall request),所述初始呼叫事件对应的主叫用户号码为A,被叫用户号码为B。例如,initcall request中携带呼叫参数,即主叫用户号码caller,即initcall request中包括caller:A,called(被叫用户):B。其中主叫用户购买了小号业务,即主叫用户的主号为138138,小号可以为123123。
步骤602:智能AS向CSEF实体发送主号对应的放音指令。
其中,智能AS根据自身的预付费提醒业务的触发逻辑,生成基于主叫用户号码对应的呼叫控制指令,即PlayVoice放音指令。进一步的,该呼叫控制指令PlayVoice中还可以包括音频媒体资源的统一资源定位符(Uniform Resource Locator,URL),用于指示CSEF实体根据该URL确定主号对应的音频资源。
步骤603:小号AS向CSEF实体发送修改呼叫参数的指令。
相应的,小号AS根据自身的小号业务逻辑,发送的呼叫控制指令具体可以为修改呼叫参数的指令ParaAction。其中,ParaAction指令中可以包括指示呼叫参数caller发生变化的关联因素变化信息。例如,ParaAction指令中携带关联因素变化信息parachg:caller,用于指示呼叫业务对应的关联因素caller发生变化。
其中,小号AS对应的ParaAction指令中的关联因素变化信息指示第一参数caller发生变化,ParaAction指令中包括parachg:caller。
例如,AS向CSEF实体发送的ParaAction指令可以承载于HTTP响应消息,消息结构如下:
进一步的,关联因素变化信息还可以包括caller变化后的值,例如caller变更为主叫用户的小号123123,具体可以为ParaAction指令中包括caller:123123。
例如,ParaAction指令中包括:
或者,在另一种实施方式中,CSEF实体可以本地预先配置有第一参数可能的值,则CSEF实体可以根据本地配置以及关联因素变化信息确定第一参数变化后的值。例如,CSEF实体本地配置的第一参数caller的可能值为A或C,呼叫会话对应的caller一开始为A。则CSEF实体根据ParaAction指令中包括parachg:caller,可以确定第一参数caller变化后的值为C。
步骤604:CSEF实体向智能AS发送变化事件。
其中,CSEF实体可以根据小号AS发送的ParaAction指令中携带的parachg:caller,识别到该参数caller与步骤600中智能AS向CSEF实体发送订阅请求中包括的关联因素相匹配,则生成变化事件(ParaChg request事件),并向第一AS发送ParaChg request事件,指示智能AS重新发送呼叫控制指令。其中,ParaChg request事件中携带指示当前发生变化的关联因素为第一参数,即caller。
进一步的,变化事件ParaChg request中携带当前发生变化的第一参数caller,还包括caller变化为C,即caller:C。
示例性地,CSEF实体向智能AS发送呼叫指令更新请求消息,该请求消息包含上述变化事件。
步骤605:智能AS根据变化事件向CSEF实体发送小号对应的放音指令。
智能AS根据变化事件重新生成小号(caller:C)对应的放音指令,并向CSEF实体发送该小号对应的放音指令。
其中,该放音指令用于替换之前步骤602中智能AS向CSEF实体发送的基于主号号码生成的放音指令。
示例性地,智能AS向CSEF实体发送呼叫指令更新响应消息,即步骤604呼叫指令更新请求消息对应的响应消息,该响应消息包含上述重新生成的放音指令。
步骤606:CSEF实体并行执行修改呼叫参数的指令以及小号对应的放音指令。
在一种实施方式中,CSEF实体执行修改呼叫参数的指令,具体可以为CSEF实体根据修改呼叫参数的指令中指示的呼叫参数,将呼叫控制块中的所述呼叫参数进行变更。例如,修改呼叫参数的指令ParaAction指示呼叫参数caller发生变化,则CSEF实体将呼叫控制块中的呼叫参数caller变更为预设值,或者,根据ParaAction指令中指示的caller变化后的值C,将呼叫控制块中的呼叫参数caller变更为C。后续,CSEF实体发送消息中携带的呼叫参数caller即为变更后的值。
具体的,CSEF实体执行修改呼叫参数的指令完成之后,可以向小号AS发送指令执行成功响应,用于指示修改呼叫参数的指令成功执行。
另外,CSEF实体执行小号对应的放音指令,即根据放音指令,指示MRF实体为主叫用户播放小号对应的预付费提示音频资源。
例如,预付费提醒业务基于主号号码(caller:A)生成的提示音频文件为音频1,基于小号号码(caller:C)生成的提示音频文件为音频2,不同音频文件对应的URL一般不同。则步骤605中的放音指令用于替换智能业务为主叫用户播放的预付费提示音频资源,从而在主叫用户用小号号码呼叫被叫用户的场景中,CSEF实体通过变化事件指示智能AS重新发送基于小号的呼叫控制指令,从而为用户播放准确的提示音频,符合业务实现的需求。
在一种实施方式中,CSEF实体执行放音指令的具体过程可以包括:
步骤607:CSEF实体触发MRF实体向主叫用户设备放音。
具体地,CSEF实体与MRF实体之间进行信令交互,触发MRF实体建立MRF实体与主叫用户设备之间的音频媒体通道,向MRF实体发送音频资源的URL,以使MRF实体通过所创建的音频媒体通道向主叫用户设备播放该音频资源。
步骤608:MRF实体与主叫用户设备进行交互,执行放音操作。
MRF实体通过所创建的音频媒体通道向主叫用户设备推送音频资源,主叫用户设备在获取到该音频资源后,播放该音频资源。
在一种实施方式中,放音指令成功开始执行后,MRF实体可以向CSEF实体发送放音成功响应,另外,CSEF实体可以向智能AS发送PlayVoice指令对应的指令执行成功响应。
上述实施方式,CSEF实体可以通过被依赖方AS(比如小号AS)在发送的呼叫控制指令中,携带的关联因素发生变化的指示,识别出与依赖方关联因素匹配,则CSEF实体可以向依赖方AS上报关联因素发生变化的指示或者特定的变化事件,从而触发依赖方AS根据关联因素的变化,重新发送新的呼叫控制指令,以刷新AS的业务状态,从而满足用户体验对有依赖的AS业务的需求。
上述主要从各个设备之间交互的角度对本申请实施例提供的方案进行了介绍。可以理解的,上述的呼叫业务使能实体为了实现上述功能,其包含了执行各个功能相应的硬件结构和/或软件模块。本领域技术人员应该很容易意识到,结合本文中所公开的实施例描述的各示例的单元及算法操作,本申请能够以硬件或硬件和计算机软件的结合形式来实现。某个功能究竟以硬件还是计算机软件驱动硬件的方式来执行,取决于技术方案的特定应用和设计约束条件。专业技术人员可以对每个特定的应用来使用不同方法来实现所描述的功能,但是这种实现不应认为超出本申请的范围。
