Description

Data business content adaptation method, system and portal system

technical field

The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to an adaptation method, system and portal system for data service content.

Background technique

The 3G era is coming, and the mobile data service based on the mobile wireless network will become a new business growth point in the wireless communication field. It is becoming a new trend in the development of data services to experience various mobile data services including download, streaming media, WAP, MMS and other services through mobile handset terminals.

Figure 1 shows a typical network structure for mobile data services. Including the following combination parts:

User terminal (UE) 101: refers to terminal equipment such as user's mobile phone and personal digital assistant (PDA), which realizes service experience.

Wireless core network (Network) 102: realizes the bearer and transmission of mobile data service data flow.

Service enabling component (SE, Service Enabler) 103: includes service engines such as WAP gateway (WAP GW), download platform, MMS center, and streaming media platform, and realizes support for mobile data service capabilities.

Value-added service management platform (MDSP) 104: provides unified mobile data service and content management functions. A typical value-added service management platform has a built-in content management subsystem (CMS) to realize unified management of mobile data services.

Data service application system (AppServer) 105: an application server provided by a content/service provider (CP/SP), providing wireless mobile data service.

Portal system (Portal) 106: a service access system provided by operators or SPs, which realizes the presentation of service content and the entrance of access to services.

A mobile data service user accesses a mobile data service through a user terminal, and its general flow is shown in FIG. 2 . FIG. 2 is a schematic flow diagram of a user terminal accessing a mobile data service in the prior art.

In step 201, a user terminal such as a mobile phone/PDA initiates a portal login request. The request is based on the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), so the request can also be called an HTTP request.

Step 202, the above-mentioned login request is carried by the WAP gateway (WAP GW), and forwarded to the portal system provided by the operator or CP/SP.

Step 203, the portal system authenticates the validity of the user's login, and allows the user terminal to access the service content provided by the portal system after passing the authentication.

Step 204, the user terminal interacts with the portal system through the WAP GW, selects the service/content that the user likes, and initiates a service/content access request.

In steps 205-206, the portal system receives the service/content access request from the user terminal and sends it to the CP/SP application server through the service engine platform.

In step 207, the CP/SP application server delivers corresponding content according to the user's request.

In steps 208-209, the content issued by the CP/SP application server is transmitted to the user terminal through the service engine platform and WAPGW, and the whole process of user accessing the service/content is completed.

It can be seen from the above process that terminal users access mobile data services through application systems such as Portal portals, and content terminal adaptation of mobile data services mainly depends on Portal portals.

Due to the variety of mobile terminals such as mobile phones and PDAs on the market, the support for wireless application download protocol standards is uneven; at the same time, in order to protect their own interests, terminal manufacturers have developed a large number of applications that depend on terminal types, resulting in Portal portal system A relatively complete terminal adaptation solution cannot be provided, or some portal systems simply do not provide terminal adaptation functions. The direct consequence of this is that users download various mobile data application content, but cannot use it due to terminal adaptation problems, which damages the vital interests of end users.

At present, the most important method of the portal system is to store the data business content files in different directories. After the user logs in to the portal system, he selects the corresponding menu according to his terminal type, enters the corresponding directory, and accesses the content suitable for his terminal type. The process of user accessing services is illustrated as follows:

Referring to Figure 3, after the user logs in to the portal system, he needs to first select the corresponding menu according to his terminal type, enter the content storage partition corresponding to the terminal type, and select the content he likes in this partition to download.

The scheme of providing terminal content adaptation by storing business content partitions has the following disadvantages:

Poor user experience: Terminal users need multiple operations to select content suitable for their terminal type, and the cumbersome operation steps lead to a greatly reduced user interface friendliness.

High technical threshold: This terminal adaptation solution requires end users to be very familiar with their own terminal types. For some middle-aged, elderly and children who cannot correctly identify the terminal type, they cannot correctly select the corresponding content for access.

There are flaws in the adaptation scheme: if end users deliberately choose content that is not suitable for their own terminal type to download and access, the portal system cannot restrict it.

Detailed ways

In the typical network structure of mobile data services, MDSP, as a unified management platform for mobile value-added services, provides content management functions. Usually, a content management subsystem based on the WEB operation interface is provided to realize maintenance functions such as uploading and updating of data business content. The embodiment of the present invention is enhanced on the CMS subsystem of the MDSP platform - when the CP/SP submits the mobile data service content, it binds the data content adaptation information and the data content file corresponding to the information, and saves them together in the in the MDSP database. On this basis, after the portal system receives the login request from the terminal, it obtains the type of the terminal according to the request; and inquires about the data content adaptation information, and processes the data content file according to the terminal type and the data content adaptation information. Filtering, obtaining the data content file matching the terminal, presenting it to the terminal for downloading by the terminal.

The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 4 is a schematic flow diagram of a user terminal accessing a mobile data service according to an embodiment of the present invention. Before the implementation of this embodiment, the data content adaptation information and the data content file corresponding to the information have been bound and stored in the MDSP database. The content shown in the dotted line box in the figure is the newly added content of this embodiment compared with the prior art.

In step 401, a user terminal such as a mobile phone/PDA initiates a portal login request. The request is based on the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), so the request can also be called an HTTP request.

Step 402, the above login request is carried by the WAP gateway and forwarded to the portal system provided by the operator or CP/SP.

In step 403, the portal system authenticates the user's login validity. After the authentication is passed, the user terminal is allowed to access the service content provided by the portal system, that is, the subsequent steps are continued. If the authentication fails, the process ends.

It can be understood that this authentication step may not exist, of course, without this step, the network will be unsafe.

In step 404, since the terminal will report the terminal type identifier through the HTTP protocol when logging into the portal system, the login request from the terminal, that is, the HTTP request, can be analyzed to obtain the type of the terminal. The following is an example of an HTTP request message:

GET

http://10.76.101.51:8282/wfjun/wml/sun/fj.gif? spid=666666 & serviceid=010

0102400 HTTP/1.1

Host:10.76.101.51:8282

...

User-Agent:OPWV-SDK/62 UP.Browser/6.2.2.1.208(GUI)MMP/2.0

Accept-Charset: utf-8

Accept-Language:en

...

The terminal type can be obtained from the parameter User-Agent carried in the HTTP request. Since this is defined by the syntax of the HTTP protocol, please refer to [RFC 1945: Hyptertext TransferProtocol-HTTP/1.0] for details, and will not be described in detail here.

Steps 405-406, query data content adaptation information, specifically:

Based on the data content adaptation information submitted by the CP/SP, the MDSP platform provides the portal system with a data content adaptation information query interface for the portal system to query the data content adaptation information of the content file. The portal system sends a request for obtaining data content adaptation information to the MDSP, and obtains the data content adaptation information from the received response. For specific queries, online query or offline information synchronization query can be used.

Step 407, according to the acquired terminal type and data content adaptation information, filter the data content files, obtain the data content files matching the terminal, and present them to the terminal.

Step 408, the user terminal interacts with the portal system through the WAP GW, selects the service/content that the user likes, and initiates a service/content access request.

In steps 409-410, the portal system receives the service/content access request from the user terminal and sends it to the CP/SP application server through the service engine platform.

In step 411, the CP/SP application server delivers corresponding content according to the user's request.

In steps 412-413, the content delivered by the CP/SP application server is transmitted to the user terminal through the service engine platform and WAPGW, and the whole process of the user accessing the service/content is completed.

The foregoing data content adaptation information may include information such as terminal type, model, and manufacturer.

Based on the above adaptation scheme, the operation method for users to access business content is simplified: see Figure 5, end users do not need to select content partitions, and can directly access content files adapted to the current terminal.

The embodiment of the present invention also discloses an adaptation system for data service content, including a terminal, a portal system, and a database, wherein,

The database is used to bind and save the data content adaptation information and the data content file corresponding to the information; the database is located in the value-added service management platform on the network side.

The portal system is used to receive a login request from a terminal, obtain the type of the terminal according to the request; query the database to obtain data content adaptation information, and filter out the matching information of the terminal according to the terminal type and data content adaptation information data content file.

After the portal system filters out the data content file matching the terminal, it can also present it to the terminal for downloading by the terminal.

The above-mentioned portal system can also be used to perform authentication on the terminal after receiving a login request from the terminal and before obtaining the terminal type, and perform subsequent processing after the authentication is passed.

The present invention also discloses a portal system, as shown in FIG. 6 , including: a terminal type acquisition unit 610, an adaptation information query unit 620, an adaptation unit 630, and a display download unit 640, wherein,

The terminal type obtaining unit 610 is used to obtain the terminal type of the terminal that initiates the login request;

The adaptation information query unit 620 is used to query the data content adaptation information from the database;

The adaptation unit 630 is configured to filter the data content files according to the terminal type and data content adaptation information, and obtain the data content files corresponding to the terminal.

The above-mentioned portal system may further include a presentation and download unit 640, configured to present the data content file corresponding to the terminal to the terminal for downloading by the terminal.

The above-mentioned portal system also includes an authentication unit 650 (not shown in the figure), which is used to authenticate the terminal that initiates the login request, and after the authentication is passed, the terminal type acquisition unit is notified to perform the operation.

Applying the present invention allows the network side to complete the adaptation process of the data service content, prevents the download of content files that do not match the terminal type, and simplifies the operation complexity of the user accessing the data service portal system and enhances the user experience ; It does not require end users to have a good understanding of the terminal type, which lowers the technical threshold; the network side can restrict the download of content files that are not suitable for the terminal type.
