A method for processing deferred messages, applicable in an instant message (IM) system under Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) and Instant Message and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE), said method comprising storing the deferred messages, notifying of the deferred messages and retrieving the deferred messages, whereinsaid storing the deferred messages comprises storing, by the IM system, the deferred messages to be sent to a user in a case that the user pre-requests for storing the deferred messages;
- where the deferred messages comprise meta-data and content, the meta-data is stored in an IM Extensible Markup Language Document Management Server entity (IM XDMS entity) and the content is stored in a deferred message content storage entity;
said notifying of the deferred messages comprises determining there are deferred messages for the user stored in the IM system associated with a client of the user when the user gets online, and sending a deferred message notification to the client of the user; and

Abstract
A method for processing deferred messages includes a storing process, a notification process and a retrieving process of a deferred message. In the storing process, when a user presets and requires to store the deferred message, the system stores the deferred message to be sent to the user; in the notification process, when a user gets online, an IM server at the client side detects the system has stored the deferred message for the user and if the user has subscribed the deferred message notification, the system sends the deferred message notification to the client according to the setting of the system or of the user; in the retrieving process, when the client receives the deferred message notification and requests to acquire the deferred message, its IM server sends the deferred message content to the client. The present invention improves the method for processing deferred messages in the SIP/SIMPLE IM service system.
