Abstract

To realize a service infrastructure capable of being used as a platform for various services to be implemented through a network. In a service provision system, each of a service control server 23 and terminals 11 to 13 that receive a service includes a message generation unit that generates a message of a predetermined format, a message sending/receiving unit for sending/receiving the message using a SIP MESSAGE method, and a message recognition unit that recognizes the received message. The service control server 23 includes a message definition input/output unit that receives at least a command to be executed by the terminal and a message main body in which an access destination and text information are described. Respective control units of the terminals 11 to 13 execute processing in accordance with the message.

Claims

1. A service provision system using a Session Initiation Protocol SIP, wherein:

each of a service control server and a terminal that receives a service comprises;

a message generation unit that generates a message of a predetermined format;

a message sending/receiving unit that sends or receives the message using a SIP MESSAGE method; and

a message recognition unit that recognizes the received message;

said service control server comprises a message definition input/output unit that receives at least a command to be executed by said terminal and a message main body with an access destination described therein; and

a control unit of said terminal executes the command given from the message recognition unit and accesses an address described in the message main body;

whereby a service is provided.

2. The service provision system according to claim 1, wherein

said message definition input/output unit of said service control server receives text information desired to be displayed on said terminal as the message main body;

the message generation unit of said service control server generates the message of the predetermined format with the text information stored in the message main body thereof; and

said control unit of said terminal executes display of the text information given from the message recognition unit instead of accessing the address described in the message main body.

3. The service provision system according to claim 1, wherein said message definition input/output unit of said service control server receives whether to cause said terminal to execute the command real time or not and changes the command to be set according to content of execution of the command.

4. The service provision system according to claim 2, wherein said message definition input/output unit of said service control server receives whether to cause said terminal to execute the command real time or not and changes the command to be set according to content of execution of the command.

5. The service provision system according to claim 1, wherein

said message definition input/output unit of said service control server receives whether to cause said terminal to transmit a telephone call or not and changes the command to be set according to content of the transmission.

6. A control method for a terminal, comprising:

receiving at least a command to be executed by a terminal and a message main body with an access destination described therein, generating a message of a predetermined format, and sending the generated message to a terminal specified, using a Session Initiation Protocol SIP, by a service control server; and

executing the command included in the message and accessing an address described in the message main body, by the terminal that has received the message.

7. The control method for a terminal according to claim 6, comprising:

receiving text information desired to be displayed on the terminal, generating the message of the predetermined format with the text information stored in the message main body thereof, by said service control server; and

executing display of the text information given from a message recognition unit of the terminal instead of accessing the address described in the message main body, by a control unit of the terminal.
