Abstract

Disclosed is a method for delivering a message in a converged IP messaging (CPM) server. The message delivery method may include determining whether to reject a CPM message based on the access policy if the CPM message is received; checking a user preference of a target terminal to determine processing of the CPM message if it is determined that the CPM message is not rejected; determining whether to reject, defer or store the CPM message based on the user preference if the target terminal is not registered or in an unreceivable state; storing the CPM message in a queue if it is determined that a transmission of the CPM message is deferred; determining whether to discard or store the CPM message based on the user preference if a timer for the CPM message is expired; requesting to store the message to a message storage server if it is determined to be stored; receiving a response message including information on the stored message from the message storage server; and transmitting a message including the information on the store message to the terminal.

Claims

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

determining whether to reject a CPM message based on an access policy if the CPM message is received;

checking a user preference of a target terminal to determine the processing of the CPM message if it is determined that the CPM message is not rejected;

determining whether to reject, defer, or store the CPM message based on the user preference if the target terminal is not registered or in an unreceivable state;

storing the CPM message in a queue when it is determined that the CPM message is to be deferred;

determining whether to discard or store the CPM message based on the user preference if a timer for the CPM message is expired;

requesting to store the CPM message to a message storage server when it is determined to be stored;

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

transmitting a message including the information on the stored message.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user preference comprises,

first information on processing directions for a situation where the target terminal is not registered or in an unreceivable state;

and

second information on processing directions for a situation where the target terminal is registered or in a receivable state.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the first information comprises at least one of rejecting, deferring, storing and interworking.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the information on the message comprises identification information on the message within the CPM server.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the information on the message allows to discern the CPM message from other messages within the message storage server.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the information on the message is a unique identifier (UID) for the message.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the notification message further comprises information on the message storage server.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the notification message is a SIP-based message when the target terminal supports a CPM, and is a non-SIP-based message when the target terminal support a non-CPM.

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

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting by the CPM server the information on the deferred message to the target terminal.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the user preference comprises,

a first user preference for determining the processing of the message;

and

a first user preference related to the storing of the message.

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

a processor for determining whether to reject a CPM message based on the access policy if the CPM message is received, checking a user preference of a target terminal to determine the processing of the CPM message if it is determined that the CPM message is not rejected, determining whether to reject, defer or store the CPM message based on the user preference if the target terminal is not registered or in an unreceivable state, storing the CPM message in a queue if it is determined that a transmission of the CPM message is deferred, and determining whether to discard or store the CPM message based on the user preference if a timer for the CPM message is expired, and

a transceiver for requesting to store the message to a message storage server if it is determined to be stored by the processor, response message receiving a response message including information on the stored message from the message storage server and transmitting a message including the information on the stored message to the target terminal.

13. The CPM server of claim 12, wherein the information on the message comprises identification information on the message.

14. The CPM server of claim 12, wherein the information on the message allows to discern the CPM message from other messages within the message storage server.

15. The CPM server of claim 12, wherein the information on the message is a unique identifier (UID) for the CPM message.
