1. A method for processing deferred messages, applicable in an instant message (IM) system under Session Initiated Protocol (SIP)/Instant Message and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE), comprising:
- storing the deferred messages, wherein said step of storing comprises storing, by the IM system, the deferred messages to be sent to a user in a case that the user pre-requests for storing the deferred messages;
notifying of the deferred messages, wherein said step of notifying comprises determining there are deferred messages for the user stored in the IM system by an IM server associated with a client of the user when the user gets online, and sending a deferred message notification to the client of the user under subscribed configuration in a case that the user subscribes the deferred message notification, or otherwise, sending the deferred message notification to the client under default setting of the IM system; and

Abstract
A method for processing deferred messages includes a storing process, a notification process and a retrieving process of a deferred message. In the storing process, when a user presets and requires to store the deferred message, the system stores the deferred message to be sent to the user; in the notification process, when a user gets online, an IM server at the client side detects the system has stored the deferred message for the user and if the user has subscribed the deferred message notification, the system sends the deferred message notification to the client according to the setting of the system or of the user; in the retrieving process, when the client receives the deferred message notification and requests to acquire the deferred message, its IM server sends the deferred message content to the client. The present invention improves the method for processing deferred messages in the SIP/SIMPLE IM service system.
