Patent Images
1. A method for advertising in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), the method comprising:
- receiving, by a first entity, a first message toward a target terminal, the first message originated by a source terminal, wherein the first message has contents for a first session between the source terminal and the target terminal;
sending, by the first entity, the first message to a second entity, wherein the first message is intercepted in a path of the IMS signaling link by the second entity;
receiving, by the first entity, from the second entity the first message including first advertising information, wherein the first advertising information is inserted into the intercepted first message by the second entity; and
sending, by the first entity, to the target terminal the first message having the first advertising information,wherein, during the first session, a second session is established between the second entity and the source terminal by exchanging a third message transmitted from the second entity to the source terminal and a fourth message transmitted from the source terminal to the second entity in response to the third message, and a third session is established between the second entity and the target terminal by exchanging the third message transmitted from the second entity to the target terminal and the fourth message transmitted from the target terminal to the second entity in response to the third message, andwherein second advertising information is transmitted from the second entity to the source terminal via the second session, and third advertising information is transmitted from the second entity to the target terminal via the third session.

Abstract
Disclosure may be to allow a Service Provider (or operator) to intercept SIP messages (e.g., SIP INVITE method, or SIP MESSAGE method) in the path of the IMS signaling link and insert advertising information therein, thereby delivering the advertising information inserted in the SIP messages to one or more end users (i.e., originating end or terminating end, or all of them).

13. A method for advertising in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), comprising:
-
intercepting a message based on SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) in a path of the IMS signaling link, wherein the message is toward a target terminal and is originated by a source terminal, and the message has contents for a first session between the source terminal and the target terminal; inserting first advertising information into the intercepted message; and sending the message including the first advertising information to the target terminal, wherein, during the first session, a second session is established between a second entity and the source terminal by exchanging a third message transmitted from the second entity to the source terminal and a fourth message transmitted from the source terminal to the second entity in response to the third message, and a third session is established between the second entity and the target terminal by exchanging the third message transmitted from the second entity to the target terminal and the fourth message transmitted from the target terminal to the second entity in response to the third message, and wherein second advertising information is transmitted from the second entity to the source terminal via the second session, and third advertising information is transmitted from the second entity to the target terminal via the third session. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An application server for advertising in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), the server comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive a message based on SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) from a first entity in a path of the IMS signaling link, wherein the message is toward a target terminal and is originated by a source terminal, and the message has contents for a first session between the source terminal and the target terminal; a controller configured to insert first advertising information in the intercepted message; and a transmitter configured to send the message including the first advertising information to the target terminal via the first entity, wherein, during the first session, a second session is established between a second entity and the source terminal by exchanging a third message transmitted from the second entity to the source terminal and a fourth message transmitted from the source terminal to the second entity in response to the third message, and a third session is established between the second entity and the target terminal by exchanging the third message transmitted from the second entity to the target terminal and the fourth message transmitted from the target terminal to the second entity in response to the third message, and wherein second advertising information is transmitted from the second entity to the source terminal via the second session, and third advertising information is transmitted from the second entity to the target terminal via the third session. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
