Abstract

A method of sending a multimedia-message. The method includes: obtaining a multimedia-message to be sent; storing the multimedia-message to be sent into a cache, when a RCS of the electronic device is not online; sending the multimedia-message in the cache by a manner of instant messaging (IM), when a waiting time for transmission is less than a preset time and an online notification of the RCS is received; and sending the multimedia-message in the cache by a manner of MMS, when the waiting time for transmission reaches the preset time and the online notification of the RCS is not received.

Claims

1. A method for sending a multimedia-message, comprising:

obtaining a multimedia-message;

storing the multimedia-message into a cache as a target message, in response to a Rich Communication Service (RCS) of the electronic device being offline;

sending the target message as an instant message, when a waiting time for transmission is less than a preset time and an online notification of the RCS is received; and

sending the target message as an Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) message, when the waiting time for transmission reaches the preset time and the online notification of the RCS is not received.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the operation of sending the target message as an instant message, when a waiting time for transmission is less than a preset time and an online notification of the RCS is received, comprises:

sending the target message as an instant message, according to an order of storing the the target message from first to last.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the operation of sending the target message as an instant message, when a waiting time for transmission is less than a preset time and an online notification of the RCS is received, comprises:

sending the target message as an instant message, according to an order of the data volume of the target message from large to small.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the operation of sending the target message as an Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) message, when the waiting time for transmission reaches the preset time and an online notification of the RCS is not received, comprises:

sending the target message as an MMS message, when the waiting time for transmission is greater than or equal to the preset time.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, before the operation of storing the multimedia-message into a cache, in response to a RCS of the electronic device being offline, the method further comprising:

detecting whether the number of remaining multimedia messages in the current communication package of the electronic device is greater than a preset number;

sending the multimedia-message as an MMS message, when the number of the remaining multimedia messages in the current communication package of the electronic device is greater than the preset number;

storing the multimedia-message in the cache as the target message, when the number of the remaining multimedia messages in the current communication package of the electronic device is less than or equal to the preset value.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, after the operation of obtaining the multimedia-message, the method further comprising:

sending the multimedia-message as an instant message when the RCS of the electronic device is online.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the operation of sending the target message as an instant message, when a waiting time for transmission is less than a preset time and an online notification of the RCS is received, comprises:

sending the target message as an instant message, according to an order of the data volume of the multimedia-message in the cache from small to large.

21. The method as claimed in claim 1, after the operation of obtaining the multimedia-message, the method further comprising:

determining whether the RCS of the electronic device is online.

22. The method as claimed in claim 21, wherein the operation of determining whether the RCS of the electronic device is online comprises:

determining the RCS of the electronic device is online, by detecting whether the instant messaging (IM) service of the electronic device normally works.

23. The method as claimed in claim 21, wherein the operation of determining whether the RCS of the electronic device is online comprises:

detecting whether the electronic device provides a valid configuration file; and

determining the RCS of the electronic device is offline when the electronic device fails to provide a valid configuration file.

24. The method as claimed in claim 21, further comprising:

detecting whether a valid configuration file is provided;

detecting whether the network of the electronic device is connected when the electronic device provides the valid configuration file; and

determining the RCS of the electronic device is offline when the network of the electronic device is disconnected.

25. The method as claimed in claim 21, further comprising:

detecting whether a valid configuration file is provided;

detecting whether the network of the electronic device is connected when the electronic device provides the valid configuration file;

detecting whether the electronic device registers to the IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem (IMS) network of the RCS when the network of the electronic device is connected; and

determining the RCS of the electronic device is online when the electronic device successfully registers to the IMS network of the RCS;

determining the RCS of the electronic device is offline when the electronic device fails to register to the IMS network of the RCS.

8-12. -12. (canceled)

13. A storage medium, having a computer program stored therein, when executing the computer program, a computer being enabled to perform a method for sending a multimedia-message, the method comprising:

obtaining a multimedia-message;

storing the multimedia-message into a cache as a target message, in response to a Rich Communication Service (RCS) of the electronic device being offline;

sending the target message as an instant message, when a waiting time for transmission is less than a preset time and an online notification of the RCS is received; and

sending the target message as an Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) message, when the waiting time for transmission reaches the preset time and the online notification of the RCS is not received.

14. An electronic device, comprising a memory and a processor, when invoking a computer program stored in the memory, the processor is configured to perform the operations of:

obtaining a multimedia-message;

storing the multimedia-message into a cache as a target message, in response to a RCS of the electronic device being offline;

sending the target message as an instant message, when a waiting time for transmission is less than a preset time and an online notification of the RCS is received; and

sending the target message as an MMS message, when the waiting time for transmission reaches the preset time and the online notification of the RCS is not received.

15. The electronic device as claimed in claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to:

send the target message as an instant message according to an order of storing the multimedia-messages in the cache from first to last.

16. The electronic device as claimed in claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to:

send the target message as an instant message, according to an order of the data volume of the target message from large to small.

17. The electronic device as claimed in claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to:

send the target message as an MMS message, when the waiting time for transmission is greater than or equal to the preset time.

18. The electronic device as claimed in claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to:
