Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for providing customized service for users, including: a SIP AS receives service customization request sent by a user via a SIP client; the SIP AS extracts service customization information from the request and provides the service corresponding to the service customization information for the SIP client. By the present invention, the user can perform customized configuration at the SIP client without the aid of WEB AS, so as to facilitate utilizations of users, and realize generation and uploading of completely customized service customization script. Additionally, the present invention can put service customization into effect immediately instead of going into effect until the service is used again. The method of the present invention just needs to add a special SIP service in SIP AS, thereby making full use of the resources and characteristics of SIP AS, facilitating the utilization and improving the effectiveness.

Claims
