Abstract

A method/system for processing messages and a converged service system are provided. The method for processing messages comprises: a converged service system receives a message request sent from a traditional message service user via a traditional message service system and performs a converged service message format conversion on the message request (step S102); the converged service system determines an ID of the traditional message service system sending the message request according to the message request, and sends a converged service user the ID of the traditional message service system included in the converted message request (step S104); the converged service system receives a predefined service message from the converged service user, wherein the ID of the traditional message service system is included in the predefined service message (step S106); the converged service system performs a traditional message service format conversion on the predefined service message and sends the converted predefined service message to a traditional message service system corresponding to the ID of the traditional message service system in the predefined service message (step S108). By using the invention, the service experience of the user is improved.

an ID of a return receipt and an ID of a reading report.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step that the converged service system receives a message request sent from the traditional message service user via the traditional message service system specifically comprises:

the traditional message service user sends a message request to the traditional message service system; and

the traditional message service system forwards the message request to the converged service system.

11. The method according to claim 1, after the converged service system sends the converted predefined service message to a traditional message service system corresponding to the ID of the traditional message service system in the predefined service message, the method further comprising:

the corresponding traditional message service system sending the predefined service message to the traditional message service user.

12. The method according to claim 1, wherein the ID of the predefined service comprises at least one of the following IDs:

an ID of a return receipt and an ID of a reading report.

13. A method for processing messages, which is used for performing a message exchange between a user of a first service system and a user of a second service system via the first service system and the second service system, comprising:

the second service system receiving a message request sent from the user of the first service system via the first service system;

the second service system determining an ID of the first service system sending the message request according to the message request and sending the user of the second service system the ID of the first service system included in the message request;

the second service system receiving a predefined service message from the user of the second service system, wherein the ID of the first service system is included in the predefined service message; and

the second service system sending the predefined service message to a first service system corresponding to the ID of the first service system in the predefined service message.

14. The method according to claim 13, wherein the message request includes an ID of the user of the second service system, an ID of the predefined service and content of the message.
