Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the present invention for receiving a short message on a fixed called terminal.

Detailed ways

In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail by citing the following embodiments and referring to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention pre-sets the short message communication number of the user receiving the short message in the personal number server, that is, the user's short message communication number, and sets the corresponding relationship between the short message communication number and the called terminal number actually receiving the short message. The short message communication number for receiving short messages can be the ONLY number and 700 number set in the virtual service; or the original called mobile terminal number set in the mobile transfer service; And set the number.

The present invention sets several short message mailboxes for the called terminal receiving short messages, that is, the called user who uses the called terminal is respectively provided with a short message mailbox on the called terminal. The called terminal has the function of managing these short message mailboxes. The management functions include: adding, deleting and modifying the short message mailboxes of the called user; and the maximum free space allowed for the SMS mailbox.

The mailbox identification of the short message mailbox can be automatically generated by the called terminal, the mailbox name can be set by the called user, the mailbox password can be set by the called user, the mailbox address is set to the short message communication number of the called user to receive the short message, and the handset The address is the serial number or communication address of each cordless telephone sub-unit attached to the called terminal. When the called terminal does not have an attached cordless phone handset, the handset address may not be set. When maintaining a short message mailbox, such as changing attributes such as the name and address of the mailbox, deleting short messages in the short message mailbox and viewing the contents of the short message mailbox, it is necessary to pass the password verification of the short message mailbox.

In the present invention, a customer (Guest) mailbox can also be set on the called terminal, and the mailbox is used to store short messages that cannot be distributed to a specific short message mailbox. For example, the short message communication number obtained when receiving a short message does not correspond to the corresponding short message mailbox, or the corresponding short message communication number is not obtained at all when receiving a short message. The Guest mailbox includes information such as a mailbox ID, a mailbox name, and a mailbox password. The information may be set as default information automatically generated by the called terminal without requiring the user to add and modify its attribute information.

As shown in Figure 1, Figure 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of the present invention receiving a short message on a fixed called terminal, and its specific steps are:

Step 100, the calling terminal uses the short message communication number of the called user to receive the short message to send the short message, and the switch where the calling party is located sends the short message to the short message center to which the calling user belongs;

Step 101, the short message center processes the short message, makes the short message carry the short message communication number, and obtains the actual called terminal number corresponding to the short message communication number from the personal number center, and carries the processed The short message with the short message communication number is sent to the called terminal with the actual called terminal number;

There are two ways for the short message center to process the short message. The first way: add the short message communication number to the short message, for example: add the short message communication number to the header of the short message , and set an identifier to indicate that the short message carries the short message communication number; in the second way, when the short message is sent to the terminal that actually receives the short message, the short message communication number is sent to the on the corresponding called terminal;

Step 102, the called terminal obtains the short message communication number from the short message or directly obtains the short message communication number, and inquires according to the short message communication number whether there is a mailbox address of The short message mailbox of the short message communication number, if the short message mailbox exists, proceed to step 103, otherwise, proceed to step 104;

Step 103, the short message is stored in the short message mailbox, and the called user can view the short message through the short message mailbox. In order to be more confidential, the called user can preset a password, and must input the correct password when viewing the short message. password to enter the SMS mailbox to view the SMS;

There are two ways to store the password. The first way: store the password on the called terminal, and program-encrypt the password to prevent others from directly obtaining the password; the second way: store the signature information of the password in In the called terminal, when the called user maintains the mailbox or checks the short message of the mailbox, the called user needs to input a password, and the called terminal converts the password into corresponding signature information, and then matches the signature of the mailbox. Compare the information to judge whether the password entered by the called user is legal, so as to determine whether the called user can check the short message of the mailbox or maintain the mailbox;

Step 104, store the short message in the Guest mailbox.

The short message in the present invention can be a short message input by characters currently used by the called user, and can also be a multimedia short message.

In this process, when the calling terminal sends a short message through a short message communication number, the short message center to which the calling terminal belongs first inquires the personal number server to determine whether the short message communication number is an actual called terminal number, if not, Execute step 101; otherwise, follow the process of sending short messages in the prior art. That is, the short message is directly sent to the called terminal specified by the short message communication number.

The personal number server may be a home location register (HLR) device of the communication system, may also be a one number number server, or may be other specialized personal number servers.

In practical applications, when the called terminal is attached to several cordless telephone handsets, after the called terminal inquires the corresponding SMS mailbox according to the SMS communication number, it obtains the address of the handset set in the mailbox and judges that it has the handset Whether the cordless phone handset at the address is turned on, if the cordless phone handset is just in the power-on state, then directly send the short message to the cordless phone handset corresponding to the mailbox; if the cordless phone handset is just in the power-off state, The short message is then stored in the short message mailbox.

When a cordless phone handset is turned on, the called terminal can directly send short messages in the short message mailbox corresponding to the cordless phone handset that have not been sent to the cordless phone handset to the cordless phone handset; or , the cordless phone handset sends an inquiry command to the called terminal, actively inquires the short message mailbox corresponding to the cordless phone handset in the called terminal, and checks whether there is a newly arrived short message that has not yet been received, if Exist, then extract the newly arrived short message that has not yet been received into the cordless phone sub-set, otherwise, the cordless phone sub-set does not process. All cordless phone handsets can query the short messages in the Guest mailbox through the query command.

In practice, there is another application mode, that is, when the called terminal is several called terminals connected in series, a short message mailbox is set for each called terminal in advance, and the mailbox address of each short message mailbox is respectively It is set as different short message communication numbers, and these different short message communication numbers are different short message communication numbers owned by different called users who use the same actual terminal number. When the processed short message carrying the short message communication number is sent to multiple called terminals that have the same actual called terminal number and are connected in series, the called terminal obtains the corresponding short message communication number when receiving the short message, and uses The short message communication number is compared with the mailbox address of its own short message mailbox, if the same, the called terminal receives the short message and stores the short message in its own short message mailbox, if not the same, the called terminal does not do any processing. At this time, the called terminal does not have the Guest mailbox function, that is, the called terminal can only process short messages that are really intended to be sent to the called terminal itself.

The above-mentioned various methods are the short message processing method that pushes (push) mode to carry out, the present invention can also carry out the processing of short message with pulling (pull) mode, and this processing process is similar to the processing process of push mode, only There is a difference in one point: when the short message center receives the short message sent by the calling terminal with the short message communication number, it does not directly send the short message and the short message communication number to the actual called terminal, but sends the short message The message notification and the short message communication number are sent to the actual called terminal together. When the corresponding called terminal receives the short message notification, it stores the short message notification in the In the short message mailbox of the mailbox address of the short message communication number, the corresponding called user can check the short message mailbox, get the notification of the short message, and then take the initiative to obtain the short message from the short message center. The specific short message processing methods in the push mode and the pull mode are described in detail in the application of multi-terminal processing short messages, which can be referred to the applicant's Chinese patent application documents with application numbers 03106951.7 and 03107175.9 respectively.

The method provided by the present invention sets up short message mailboxes with the short message communication number of the called user as the mailbox address for different called users using the same called terminal, and the short message mailbox stores messages sent to the called user who set up the mailbox. Short message, so that the short message sent by the short message communication number can only be received and viewed by the called user with the short message communication number, while other called users using the called terminal cannot view the short message, reaching the The effect of receiving short messages on the fixed terminal is confidential; the invention can cache short messages on the called terminal by setting the short message mailbox, reducing the interaction of the communication system and improving the efficiency of the communication system.

The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention. within the scope of protection.
