Abstract

A method for processing PoC service, comprising: PoC user terminal initiates a call to PoC media storage means to start the media storage means; then, establishing media stream path between the PoC server and PoC media storage means; and transferring media stream between the PoC server and the PoC media storage means; the present invention enables users to obtain complete contents of the whole session when they are absent from the session, and can be realized easily.

Claims

1. A method for processing Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC) service, comprising:

starting a PoC media storage device by initiating a call from a PoC user terminal to the PoC media storage device via a PoC server;

establishing a media stream path between the PoC server and the PoC media storage device; and

delivering media streams between the PoC server and the PoC media storage device, with signaling streams transferred therebetween through the PoC user terminal.

2. The method for processing PoC service according to claim 1, wherein the starting a PoC media storage device comprises:

sending a message INVITE without session description to the PoC media storage device from the PoC user terminal; and

returning a response OK containing description of the PoC media storage device to the PoC user terminal from the PoC media storage device.

3. The method for processing PoC service according to claim 1, wherein the establishing a media stream path between the PoC server and the PoC media storage device comprises:

sending a message re-INVITE containing session description of the PoC media storage device from the PoC user terminal to the PoC server;

returning a response OK containing session description of the PoC server from the PoC server to the PoC user terminal;

sending a message ACK containing session description of the PoC server from the PoC user terminal to the PoC media storage device; and

sending a message ACK without session description from the PoC user terminal to the PoC server.

4. The method for processing PoC service according to claim 1, further comprising:

establishing a media stream connection between the PoC user terminal and the PoC server.

5. The method for processing PoC service according to claim 4, wherein the establishing a media stream connection between the PoC user terminal and the PoC server comprises:

sending a message re-INVITE containing session description of the PoC user terminal from the PoC user terminal to the PoC server;

returning a response OK containing session description of the PoC server from the PoC server to the PoC user terminal; and

returning a message ACK containing session description of the PoC user terminal from the PoC user terminal to the PoC server.

6. The method for processing PoC service according to claim 1, wherein the media stream includes at least one of voice stream, video stream and picture.

7. The method for processing PoC service according to claim 1, wherein the PoC media storage device is a storage device with PoC function embedded.

8. The method for processing PoC service according to claim 7, wherein the PoC media storage device is a PoC box.

9. A Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC) service processing terminal, comprising a signaling stream transfer unit, for starting a PoC media storage device by initiating a call to the PoC media storage device via a PoC server, and for transferring signaling streams between the PoC server and the PoC media storage device when media streams are being delivered between the PoC server and the PoC media storage device.

10. A system for processing Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC) service, comprising a PoC user terminal, a PoC server and a PoC media storage device, wherein the PoC user terminal starts the PoC media storage device by initiating a call to the PoC media storage device via the PoC server;

and the PoC user terminal transfers signaling streams between the PoC server and the PoC media storage device when a media stream path is established between the PoC server and the PoC media storage device to deliver media streams.
