Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for generating a service message, including: receiving a service message sent by a service provider SP device and content sent by a content provider CP device; generating a service message including corresponding content, according to a preset corresponding relation between the service and the content, or according to a preset corresponding relation between the SP and the CP, or according to both the corresponding relation between the service and the content and the corresponding relation between the SP and the CP; and sending the service message including the corresponding content to a user. Through the method according to the present invention, the generation efficiency and configuration flexibility of the service message may be improved.

Claims

1. A method for generating a service message, comprising the following steps:

receiving, by an operator device, a message associated with a service sent by a service provider (SP) device and content sent by a content provider (CP) device;

generating, by the operator device, a service message including corresponding content according to a preset corresponding relation between the service and the content, or according to a preset corresponding relation between the SP and the CP, or according to both the corresponding relation between the service and the content and the corresponding relation between the SP and the CP; and

sending the service message including the corresponding content to a user.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein when or before or after the service message including the corresponding content is sent to the user, the method further comprises:

outputting service fee information that includes an identifier of the SP and an identifier of the CP, used for instructing a charging system to implement unified revenue distribution for the SP and the CP.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein

the corresponding relation between the service and the content is specifically that a type of content corresponds to multiple services, or that a type of service corresponds to multiple types of content;

and

the corresponding relation between the SP and the CP is specifically that an SP corresponds to multiple CPs, or that a CP corresponds to multiple SPs.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein

the generating the service message including the corresponding content according to both the corresponding relation between the service and the content and the corresponding relation between the SP and the CP comprises:

determining, according to the preset corresponding relation between the SP and the CP, whether an SP or a CP in cooperation exists, and determining, according to the corresponding relation between the service and the content, whether the SP or CP in cooperation provides a corresponding service or corresponding content;

or

determining, according to the preset corresponding relation between the service and the content, whether a corresponding service or corresponding content exists, and determining, according to the corresponding relation between the SP and the CP, whether the corresponding service or corresponding content is provided by the SP or CP in cooperation; and

generating the service message including the corresponding content.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein

the service at least comprises one or more of the following types of service:

a short message service, a multimedia message service, a multimedia ringing tone service, and an email service; and

the content at least comprises one or more of the following types;

a multimedia greeting card, weather forecast information and news information.

6. An apparatus for generating a service message, comprising:

a content access module configured to receive content uploaded by a content provider (CP) and save the content;

an interworking management module, configured to set a corresponding relation between a service and the content, or set a corresponding relation between a service provider (SP) and the CP, or determine a corresponding rule according to both the corresponding relation between the service and the content and the corresponding relation between the SP and the CP; and

a service access module, configured to receive a service message sent by the SP, query the interworking management module, and generate a message including corresponding content, according to the corresponding relation and the corresponding rule that are set in the interworking management module and the content saved in the content access module.

7. The apparatus for generating a service message according to claim 6, further comprising a charging processing module, wherein

the charging processing module is connected to the service access module and is configured to provide fee information for a charging system, wherein the fee information includes an identifier of the SP and an identifier of the CP, used for instructing the charging system to implement unified revenue distribution for the SP and the CP.
