Abstract

A method for managing short messages in a mobile communication system includes receiving a short message corresponding to a destination end, selecting a short message system corresponding to the destination end according to communication information of the destination end, transforming the short message according to a short message format of the short message system, and sending the transformed short message to the destination end via the short message system.

Claims

1. A method for managing short messages in a mobile communication system comprising:

receiving a short message corresponding to a destination end;

selecting a short message system corresponding to the destination end according to a communication information of the destination end;

transforming the short message according to a short message format of the short message system; and

sending the transformed short message to the destination end via the short message system.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the short message corresponding to the destination end is receiving the short message corresponding to the destination end from a short message transmission end via internet.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the communication information comprises a location information and a phone number of the destination end.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the communication information comprises an identification information corresponding to the short message system of the destination end.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the short message is a code corresponding to preset text content.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein transforming the short message according to the short message format of the short message system comprises transforming the code to the preset text content according to the short message format of the short message system.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein sending the transformed short message via the short message system is sending the transformed short message to the short message system via internet, to send the transformed short message via the short message system.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving an acknowledgement signal sent by the short message system, to determine whether the destination end receives the short message.

9. A device for managing short messages in a mobile communication system comprising:

a reception unit, for receiving a short message corresponding to a destination end;

a selection unit, for selecting a short message system corresponding to the destination end according to a communication information of the destination end;

a transformation unit, for transforming the short message according to a short message format of the short message system; and

a transmission unit, for sending the transformed short message to the destination end via the short message system.

10. The device of claim 9, wherein the reception unit receives the short message corresponding to the destination end from a short message transmission end via internet.

11. The device of claim 9, wherein the communication information comprises a location information and a phone number of the destination end.

12. The device of claim 9, wherein the communication information comprises an identification information corresponding to the short message system of the destination end.

13. The device of claim 9, wherein the short message is a code corresponding to preset text content.

14. The device of claim 13, wherein the transformation unit is utilized for transforming the code to the preset text content according to the short message format of the short message system.

15. The device of claim 9, wherein the transmission unit is utilized for sending the transformed short message to the short message system via internet, to send the transformed short message via the short message system.

16. The device of claim 9 further comprising an acknowledgement unit for receiving an acknowledgement signal sent by the short message system, to determine whether the destination end receives the short message.

17. A mobile communication system for decreasing the cost of sending short messages, comprising:

a plurality of short message transmission ends;

a plurality of destination ends; and

a short message management device comprising;

a reception unit, for receiving a short message corresponding to a destination end;

a selection unit, for selecting a short message system corresponding to the destination end according to a communication information of the destination end;

a transformation unit, for transforming the short message according to a short message format of the short message system; and

a transmission unit, for sending the transformed short message to the destination end via the short message system.

18. The short message management device of claim 17, wherein the short message transmission end sends the short message to the reception unit via internet.

19. The short message management device of claim 17, wherein the communication information comprises a location information and a phone number of the destination end.

20. The short message management device of claim 17, wherein the communication information comprises an identification information corresponding to the short message system of the destination end.

21. The short message management device of claim 17, wherein the short message is a code corresponding to preset text content.

22. The short message management device of claim 21, wherein the transformation unit is utilized for transforming the code to the preset text content according to the short message format of the short message system.

23. The short message management device of claim 17, wherein the transmission unit is utilized for sending the transformed short message to the short message system via internet, to send the transformed short message via the short message system.

24. The short message management device of claim 17 further comprising an acknowledgement unit for receiving an acknowledgement signal sent by the short message system, to determine whether the destination end receives the short message.
