Background technique

With the advancement of mobile communication technology and computer technology, users can receive and send information anytime and anywhere. Since multiple devices of the user have communication capabilities, users need to establish their own address book on each device, and some instant messaging services (INSTANT MESSAGE SERVICE) also provides its own corresponding address book, such as MSN and QQ. This increases the burden on the user to maintain his own address book. In view of the situation that users maintain multiple address books on multiple devices, service providers start to build network address books, that is, let users store address book information in the network, and all devices can synchronize data with this network address book. At present, the network address book can be divided into two types based on extensible markup language (XML, eXtensible Markup Language) document management service (XDMS, XML Document Management Service) and network address based on personal information manager (PIM, Personal Information Manager) according to the stored data elements. book.

In the prior art, China Mobile's "Number Manager" service provides a typical network address book service based on PIM data. Through "Number Manager", users can keep the phonebook information in their mobile phones consistent with the server through the mobile network , and can be managed through a variety of terminals and access methods. The address book manager's data operations on the network address book, such as synchronization, import, and export, are all operated according to the format defined by PIM. The functions provided by the phone book manager system include: basic information management functions and value-added service functions based on the address book, wherein the basic information management functions include: (1) query, add, modify, and delete contact information in the phone book manager system; And classify the contacts in the phonebook housekeeper system, such as adding, modifying, transferring, deleting, and classifying; (2) Import contact information into the phonebook housekeeper system in batches, and export contacts in batches from the phonebook housekeeper system (3) Inherit the contact information and classification information owned by other users in batches; (4) The system also keeps historical records for the import operation, so that users can query at any time; (5) Provide the contact information recycle bin function, when When users are not sure whether to delete a certain contact information completely, they can save it in the recycle bin first, and restore it later.

The network address book based on XML Document Management Service (XML Document Management Service) is a network address book implemented according to the international standard defined by OMA (Open Mobile Alliance). The address book data in the network address book based on the XML document management service is stored in the XML document defined by OMA itself, and the user can add, modify, and delete the address book data in the network on the client side. In addition, the network address book of the XML document management service also provides an interface for third-party applications, and the third-party applications can obtain network address book data through this interface.

During the research and practice of the prior art, the inventor found that the prior art has the following problems: the existing network address book provides the user with a static address book data storage service, and the user can only use the The data format is used to operate the data in the network storage. At the same time, because the address book can only store static data, the scope of support for users and other application services that use the network address book after authorization is limited. For example, when the user wants to pass the network address The existing network address book cannot meet the needs, and in some application scenarios, the application server needs to know the current device capabilities of the friends in the user's address book, such as whether there is a camera or not. Communication methods, such as a user sends a message to a friend in the network address book, and the application server finds that the recipient currently has multiple receiving methods. At this time, if the desired receiving method can be found in the network address book, then for An application server's strategy for determining message transformation and routing would be of great help. It can be seen that the current network address book cannot provide dynamic data of friends in the address book, which greatly limits the scope of application of the network address book.

In addition, due to the different storage data formats of the network address book in different systems, the use of the network address book by users is greatly limited. Terminals that support the PIM data format cannot use the network address book based on XML storage.

In this embodiment, the network address book dynamically acquires the information of the network address book user's friend, so that the network address book user can select a data format supported by the friend to communicate with the friend.

Here, take the converged address book used by IP-based Converged IP Messaging (CPM, Converged IP Messaging) users as an example to illustrate the specific process. The process of dynamically obtaining user friend information from the network address book in other application scenarios is similar to this.

When an IP-based CPM user is used as a calling party and sends a communication establishment request message to a non-CPM user in other non-CPM message networks, the process of utilizing the fusion address book to obtain the recipient's message service support information and sending a message according to the message is as follows:

301: The CPM user configures the non-CPM business support status of other communication objects in the converged address book according to his own understanding;

302: The CPM user sends a communication establishment request to the CPM capability center unit, which carries information capable of identifying the other party. The request may be session-independent information or a session-related session establishment request;

303: The CPM capability center unit uses the called party identification information in the received communication request to inquire about the message service support capability of the called user from the integrated address book unit;

304: The fusion address book unit searches the local database, and the obtained support capability information about the message service of the called user is returned to the CPM capability center unit. When the returned called user's support for the message service is empty, it indicates that in the fusion address book There is no relevant information about the called user;

305: The CPM capability center unit performs processing related to service control. For example, according to the obtained support capability of the message service of the called user, it is judged that the communication request needs to be forwarded to the interworking unit for processing in the next step;

306: The CPM capability center unit adds information about the called user's ability to support the message service in the communication request message, and then sends the communication request to the interworking unit;

307: The interworking unit decides which non-CPM message service to use to convert the message according to the message service support capability indication obtained about the called user, and sends it to the corresponding message gateway;

308: The interworking unit sends a response message of the called user to the CPM capability center unit;

309: The CPM capability center unit sends the response message of the called user to the fusion address book unit;

310: The integrated address book unit sends a response message of the called user to the CPM user.

In practical applications, the CPM capability center unit may also directly send the called user's response message to the user, that is, omit the above step 310 .

Through this embodiment, the network address book can aggregate the dynamic information of the network address book user's friends, and the network address book user selects the best communication method to communicate with the friends through the dynamic information of the friends.
