Background technique

As a convenient means of communication, SMS and MMS have penetrated into every field of people's work and life, and have become an important service of mobile phones. However, once a short message or multimedia message is sent, once it is deleted from the outbox, if it has not been backed up to an external storage device before, it will no longer be able to obtain the information it has sent; If the party resends it, it cannot be obtained again.

For this reason, the prior art has proposed a lot of methods about short message and multimedia message recycling. For example, a Chinese patent application document with application number 200910207111.9 discloses a method for recovering short messages, including: the mobile terminal stores the keyword information of the content of the short message set by the user; When analyzing whether the keyword is included in the content of the short message to be deleted, if so, copy the short message to the recycle bin.

However, this method of recycling short messages or multimedia messages can only be realized by preset keywords, which cannot meet the temporary demand for recycling short messages or multimedia messages; at the same time, it needs to monitor user message operations all the time, which takes up memory and is not convenient enough.

In the course of realizing the present invention, the inventor finds that there are at least the following problems in the prior art:

First, if the external storage device is not used for storage, or the keyword is not set in advance, the text message or multimedia message that has been sent or received cannot be retrieved. Therefore, when the user loses important information due to temporary misoperation or incomplete keyword setting, it will cause inconvenience to the user.

Second, once the text messages or multimedia messages sent or received are deleted from the mobile phone, the user can no longer obtain the historical text message and multimedia message records, and cannot review and view them.

detailed description

The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments.

In the present invention, when the sender or receiver user misses the short message or multimedia message due to misoperation, or wants to obtain the historical short message or multimedia message record, the authority of the user is judged. If the user authority is passed, the short message center or multimedia message The historical storage records in the center re-send the historical information or MMS that meet the user's requirements in the form of SMS, MMS, email, etc., and at the same time, billing is performed on the billing side.

Fig. 1 is the schematic structural diagram of the short message return system of the present invention, and the network includes a short message center, a short message gateway, a multimedia message center, a multimedia message gateway, a CMNET network, a billing center, and a service server. Among them, the billing center is the basic equipment of the business, which provides functions such as price approval authentication, user management, order relationship management, and billing management.

FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the short message return system of the present invention, which mainly involves user terminals, service authentication modules, query modules, short message/MMS centers, and billing centers.

As shown in Figure 2, the short message return system of the present invention comprises:

1. The requesting terminal 101: the requesting terminal is the initiator of the short message return service.

The request terminal of this system mainly refers to a mobile phone or other devices that can send service requests.

2. Service authentication module 102:

The service authentication module is mainly used to determine whether the number of the requesting terminal has opened the SMS return service. The function of the service authentication module can be undertaken by the home location register (HLR), or the service authentication module can be directly integrated into the billing center, and the billing center is responsible for saving and determining the contracted service identifier of the requesting terminal number. If the number has opened the SMS return service, the requesting terminal sends a query request to the query module.

3. Inquiry module 103:

The function of the query module is mainly responsible for recording and registering relevant information, and submitting the field for requesting terminal query to the SMS center or MMS center. The query module defines the query fields that need to be sent by the requesting terminal to submit the SMS return service, and various query fields represent different query requests.

The format of the query field is shown in Figure 3. In Figure 3, each part of the query field is defined as follows:

Business number: the number that requests the return SMS/MMS service, which is the mobile phone number that has ever sent or received SMS/MMS.

Requesting terminal/receiving terminal identification: that is, whether the number is the sender or the receiver. For example, use # to indicate that the service number is the sender, and * signify that the service is the receiver.

Date: the start and end dates of the SMS/MMS that is requested to be returned.

Time zone: It is the start and end time zone of the SMS/MMS that is requested to be sent back.

Number of messages: the number of SMS and MMS messages requested to be returned.

Return method: There are various return methods, for example, SMS, MMS, email, etc.

Return address: corresponding to the return method, for example, if the return method is email, the return address is the email address; if the return method is SMS or MMS, the return address is the mobile phone receiving the SMS or MMS Number.

Example: For example, 13XXXXX0001#2012081412002012081412303%2*13900000001, the number # means that the user is the sender, %2 means that the sender is sent back in MMS, and 3 means the number of messages requested to be returned, which means the number of the sender It is the user 13XXXXX0001's first three text message records from 12:00 to 12:30 on August 14, 2012, which are sent back to the mobile terminal of 13900000001 in the form of MMS.

Of course, the above query fields can be simplified or provided with default forms, for example, if the end time is not provided, it means so far, etc., so as to facilitate users to submit queries.

If the query field submitted by the requesting terminal does not meet the requirements, a message will be replied, prompting that the requesting terminal has a wrong format. The above query module can be a single device, or can be integrated into the SMS/MMS center as a functional module of the SMS/MMS center.

4. SMS center/MMS center 104:

The SMS center/MMS center mainly completes the storage and forwarding functions of SMS/MMS. All the short messages sent or received by the requesting terminal are saved, and the short messages meeting the query requirements are returned according to the query fields submitted by the query module.

5. The receiving terminal 105:

The receiving terminal is mainly a device that interacts with the SMS/MMS center according to the return method in the return request submitted by the user. Since the return method can be in multiple ways such as short message, multimedia message, mail, etc., therefore, the receiving terminal includes devices such as mobile phones and computers.

For example, FIG. 4 is a structural schematic diagram of returning a short message to a receiving terminal in the form of a multimedia message in the short message return system of the present invention.

6. Billing center 106:

The billing center provides functions such as batch price authentication, user management, order relationship management, and billing management, for example, monthly billing or billing by item.

As shown in Figure 5, it is a schematic flow chart of the short message return method of the present invention, including:

Step 1, requesting the terminal to send a SMS return service request to the service authentication module, the request contains a specific service code, and applies for the SMS return service;

Step 2, the service authentication module authenticates the requesting terminal, determines whether the requesting terminal has opened the short message return service, and responds to the requesting terminal with the confirmation result;

Step 3, if the request terminal opens the short message return service, then the request terminal sends a query request to the query module, and the query module retains the query record and registers the relevant information of the terminal; the query module confirms the query field in the query request, if If the requirements are met, submit the query request to the SMS center or MMS center; otherwise, reply to the request failure message;

Step 4, the query module submits the query request to the SMS center, and the SMS center queries the short message that the requesting terminal needs to return according to the query field contained therein;

Step 5, the short message center feeds back the short message query result to the query module;

Step 6, the SMS center determines the process of returning to the receiving terminal after going through processes such as path determination according to different returning methods, and then sends the short message that needs to be returned to the receiving terminal;

Step 7, at the same time, the SMS center sends the message of starting to return to the billing center, and the billing center starts billing;

Step 8, after the transmission is completed, the receiving terminal replies with a confirmation message;

In step 9, the short message center sends back a transmission end message to the billing center, and the billing center stops billing.

So far, the process of returning the short message to the receiving terminal ends.

The above is the whole flow chart of sending back the short message. Let's take SMS return as an example. According to different return methods, the specific process classification is described as follows:

Ⅰ The process of sending to the receiving mobile phone in the form of SMS, as shown in Figure 6, includes:

Step 1, requesting the terminal to send a SMS return service request to the service authentication module, the request contains a specific service code, and applies for the SMS return service;
