Abstract

A method for delivering a message from a converged IP messaging (CPM) server include: checking registered target terminals that can receive a message from a source terminal based on a user preference; determining whether to deliver a message from the source terminal to the checked target terminal based on the user preference; when the message is determined to be delivered, determining whether to store the message in a message storage server based on the user preference; when the message is determined to be stored, requesting the message storage server to store the message; receiving a response message including information regarding the stored message from the message storage server; and including the information in the message and transmitting the same to the target terminal.

Claims

1. A method for delivering a message from a converged IP messaging (CPM) server, the method comprising:

checking whether there are registered target terminals that can receive a message from a source terminal based on a user preference;

determining whether to deliver the message from the source terminal to the checked target terminal based on the user preference;

determining whether to store the message in a message storage server based on the user preference if the message is determined to be delivered;

requesting the message storage server to store the message if the message is determined to be stored;

receiving a response message including information regarding the stored message from the message storage server; and

transmitting the message including the information to the target terminal.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining whether to defer the message, whether to interwork the message, or whether to redirect the message to a different terminal according to the user preference.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining whether to reject the message based on the information in the message from the source terminal.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the information allows for discrimination of the message in the message storage server.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the information is a unique identification (UID) with respect to the message.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the CPM server is located within a home network of the target terminal.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

checking whether or not the message from the source terminal is in a CPM large mode; and

when the message is in the CPM large mode, waiting until when a different message is additionally received from the source terminal.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a response message from the target terminal; and

transmitting the response message from the target terminal to the CPM server located in the home network of the source terminal.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein when there are a plurality of target terminals and a first response message, among the response messages from the plurality of target terminals, is received, the first response message is transmitted to the CPM server located in the home network of the source terminal.

10. A method for delivering a message from a CPM server, the method comprising:

checking whether there are registered target terminals that can receive a message from a source terminal based on a user preference;

determining whether to deliver the message from the source terminal to the checked target terminal in an interworking manner or to redirect the message to a different terminal based on the user preference;

determining whether to store the message in a message storage server based on the user preference if the message is determined to be interworked or redirected;

requesting the message storage server to store the message if the message is determined to be stored;

receiving a response message including information regarding the stored message from the message storage server; and

transmitting the message including the information to the target terminal in an interworking manner or redirecting the same to the different terminal.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the information allows for discrimination of the message in the message storage server.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the information is a unique identification (UID) with respect to the message.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the CPM server is located within a home network of the target terminal.

14. A converged IP messaging (CPM) server, comprising:

a processor configured to check whether there are registered target terminals that can receive a message from a source terminal based on a user preference, determine whether to deliver a message from the source terminal to the checked target terminals based on the user preference, and determine whether to store the message in a message storage server if the message is determined to be delivered; and

a transceiver configured to request the message storage server to store the message if the message is determined to be stored, receive a response message including information regarding the stored message, transmit the message including the information to the target terminals.

15. The server of claim 14, wherein the information allows for discrimination of the message in the message storage server.

16. The server of claim 14, wherein the information is a unique identification (UID) with respect to the message.
