Abstract

The present invention provides a method and a system for sending a large message mode converged IP messaging (CPM) message. The method is used for sending a large message mode CPM message to a target group; a sender CPM client sends a session invitation message of the large message mode CPM message; after receiving the session invitation message, a CPM controlling function entity sends the session invitation message to each receiver address in the target group; a receiver CPM client receives the session invitation message and carries out a media negotiation with the controlling function entity; the controlling function entity carries out a media negotiation with the sender CPM client to determine a media transmission link between the sender CPM client and the receiver CPM client; and the sender CPM client sends the content of the large message mode CPM message to the receiver CPM client via the media transmission link. According to the technical solutions provided in the present invention, the large message mode CPM message can be sent to the target group.

Claims

1. A method for sending a large message mode converged IP messaging (CPM) message to a group, wherein the method is used for a sender CPM client to send the large message mode CPM message to a target group, comprising:

sending a session invitation message of the large message mode CPM message by the sender CPM client, and after receiving the session invitation message, sending the session invitation message to each receiver address in the group by a CPM controlling function entity;

receiving the session invitation message and carrying out a media negotiation with the CPM controlling function entity by a receiver CPM client, and carrying out a media negotiation with the sender CPM client to determine a media transmission link between the sender CPM client and the receiver CPM client by the controlling function entity; and

/or

receiving the session invitation message and carrying out a media negotiation with the controlling function entity by an inter-working function entity, and carrying out a media negotiation with the sender CPM client to determine a media transmission link between the sender CPM client and the controlling function entity by the controlling function entity;

sending the content of the large message mode CPM message to the receiver CPM client and/or the inter-working function entity via the media transmission link by the sender CPM client;

and initiating a flow to end the session of the large message mode CPM message by the sender CPM client, the controlling function entity, the receiver CPM client or the inter-working function entity.

2. A system for sending a large message mode converged IP messaging (CPM) message to a group, wherein the system is used for sending the large message mode CPM message to a target group, comprising:

a sender CPM client, a receiver CPM client, a CPM controlling function entity, an source terminal participating function entity and a target terminal participating function entity, wherein

the sender CPM client is configured to send a session invitation message of the large message mode CPM message carrying session description parameters of session description protocol (SDP) for a negotiation, to receive a success response message SIP 200 OK of the session invitation message, to establish a media transmission link, and to send a media transmission request MSRP SEND via the established media transmission link;

the source terminal participating function entity, that is, the participating function entity to which the sender belongs, is configured to receive and to send the session invitation message, to receive and to send the success response message SIP 200 OK, to establish a media transmission link, to receive the media transmission request MSRP SEND, and to send the media transmission request to a neighboring MSRP relay node;

the CPM controlling function entity is configured to receive the session invitation message and to send the received session invitation message to each receiver address in the group, to receive and to send the success response message SIP 200 OK of the session invitation message, to establish a media transmission link, and to send the request MSRP SEND to each receiver address via the established media transmission link after receiving the request MSRP SEND;

the target terminal participating function entity, that is, the participating function entity to which the receiver belongs, is configured to receive and to send the session invitation message, to receive and to send the success response message SIP 200 OK of the session invitation message, to establish a media transmission link, to receive the media transmission request MSRP SEND, and to send the media transmission request to a neighboring MSRP relay node;

and the receiver CPM client is configured to receive the session invitation message, to create and to make a response to the success response message SIP 200 OK of the session invitation message, to establish a media transmission link, and to receive the media transmission request MSRP SEND.

3. The system according to claim 2, wherein when receiving the session invitation message, the CPM controlling function entity acts as a conference center temporarily.

4. The system according to claim 2, wherein when receiving the session invitation message, the CPM controlling function entity

obtains a receiver address according to a group member list carried in the message body of the session invitation message if the receiver is a temporary group,

or obtains a receiver address from a document server if the receiver is pre-defined group.

5. The system according to claim 4, wherein the receiver address refers to a CPM system receiver address (CPM Address) or a non-CPM system receiver address (non-CPM Address).

6. The system according to claim 2, wherein when receiving the session invitation message, the CPM controlling function entity acts as a back-to-back user agent (B2BUA).

7. The system according to claim 2, wherein after receiving the response message SIP 200 OK, the CPM controlling function entity adds a characteristic parameter ‘

isfocus’

in the response 200 OK.

8. The system according to claim 2, wherein after receiving the response message SIP 200 OK, the CPM controlling function entity sends a final acknowledgement message SIP ACK.

9. The system according to claim 2, wherein after receiving the SIP ACK, the CPM controlling function entity determines a link to a neighboring hop according to the information provided by the SDP.

10. The system according to claim 2, wherein the sender CPM client is further configured to send a request BYE, and after receiving the request BYE sent by the sender, the CPM controlling function entity sends the request BYE to each receiver address in the target group.
