Detailed ways

The technical solutions of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

A first embodiment of the first aspect of the invention:

In this embodiment, UE (User Equipment) B represents a POC user, UEA represents a group contact in a group that UEB joins, and UEA requests the state information of UEB; UEB presets its own state information, such as setting online Or offline or do not disturb, and store the status information of itself in the status server; at the same time, UEB sets the group status of its group in advance, such as allowing (Allow) or prohibiting (Block), and stores the status of the group stored in XDMS.

In the method of the present invention for POC users to display different statuses in different groups, by extending the flow between the status server and XDMS, the group status is acquired in XDMS, which will be determined according to the group status and pre-set business logic The status information of the group is sent to the UEA, so that the UEB that has joined several different groups can display a reasonable status in the group according to its own setting of the group status of a certain group. The specific process is shown in Figure 2, and its execution steps are as follows:

Step 201, UEA sends a request to subscribe to UEB's state information, and receives a response of successful subscription;

Step 202, UEB login/logout;

Step 203, the status server sends a message to the XDMS requesting to obtain the group status set by the UEB for the group where the UEA is located;

Step 204, XDMS returns to the status server the group status set by the UEB for the group where the UEA is located;

Step 205, the status server determines the status information sent to the UEA according to the business logic in combination with the group status set by the UEB for the group where the UEA is located;

Step 206, the status server sends status information to the UEA.

A second embodiment of the first aspect of the invention:

In this embodiment, the UEB belongs to multiple groups at the same time, and the group status of Allow or Block can be set for each group according to its needs, and setting a certain group as Allow means that the call request of other users in the group is allowed , setting a certain group as Block means prohibiting call requests from other users in this group. In this embodiment, the status information set by UEB for itself is online, the group where UEA1 is located is group A1, and UEB sets the group status of group A1 to Allow; the group where UEA2 is located is group A2, and UEB sets The group status of group A2 is Block. The process of UEB displaying status information at UEA2 is the same as the process of displaying status information at UEA1. Figure 3 and Figure 5 only show the process and signaling process of UEB displaying status information at UEA1; The specific process of displaying different states in A2 is as follows:

Step 301, UEA1 and UEA2 respectively send a status request for subscribing to UEB to SIP Proxy;

Step 302, SIP Proxy forwards the status request of subscribing UEB to the status server;

Step 303, the state server returns a response of subscription success to the SIP Proxy;

Step 304, SIP Proxy returns a subscription success response to UEA1 and UEA2;

Step 305, when the UEB logs in or logs out, it sends a login or logout request to the SIP Proxy;

Step 306, SIP Proxy returns a response of successful login or logout to UEB;

Step 307, SIP Proxy sends UEB login or logout notification to the status server;

In step 308, the status server returns a success notification response to the SIP Proxy.

Step 309, the UEB stores the group status set for the group A1 and the group A2 in the XDMS, and the status server sends a message requesting to obtain the group status of the group A1 and the group A2 to the XDMS;

Step 310, XDMS returns to the state server the group state Allow set by UEB for group A1 and the group state Block set for group A2;

Step 311, the state server determines the state information to be sent to UEA1 and UEA2 according to the business logic in combination with the group state set by UEB for group A1 and the group state set for group A2; the state server obtains the state information set by UEB for group A1 The group status is Allow, and the status information of UEB stored by itself is online, so it is determined that the status information sent to UEA1 is online; the status server obtains the group status set by UEB for group A2 as Block, and obtains The status information of UEB stored in itself is online, so it is determined that the status information sent to UEA2 is offline;

Step 312, the status server sends the status information determined to be sent to UEA1 and UEA2 to SIPProxy, wherein it is determined that the status information sent to UEA1 includes the group identity of group A1, and the status information sent to UEA2 includes the group ID of group A2. group ID;

Step 313, SIP Proxy forwards the state information to UEA1 and UEA2 respectively;

Step 314, UEA1 and UEA2 return to SIP Proxy respectively the response of sending success;

Step 315, SIP Proxy forwards the successfully sent response to the status server.

In step 311 of this embodiment, the state server determines that the state information sent to UEA1 and UEA2 according to the business logic specifically refers to: the state server combines its own state information (including online or offline or do not disturb) set by UEB and UEB's information on UEA1 and UEA2. The group status (Allow or Block) set by the group where UEA2 belongs determines the status information sent to UEA1 and UEA2 according to certain business logic. The business logic can be as follows: if the group status set by UEB to the group where UEA1 belongs to is Allow, then the status server determines that the status information sent to UEA1 is its own status information set by UEB; If the group status is Block, the status server determines that the status information sent to the UEA is offline; those skilled in the art should understand that other business logics can also be implemented through conventional technologies.

In step 312 and step 313, it is determined that the state information sent to UEA1 or UEA2 includes not only the identity of UEB, but also the group identity of group A1 or group A2. The field has been extended, adding the field of group identification, therefore, the communication protocol between the state server and UEA1 or UEA2 has also been extended.

In this embodiment, although the status information set by UEB itself is online, the status displayed at the group contact UEA1 in group A1 is online, and the status displayed at the group contact UEA2 in group A2 is offline, UEA2 will not initiate a call request to UEB because it sees that the status information of UEB is offline. Therefore, there will be no group information that UEB has set a Block for group A2, but UEA2 still shows that it is online Status information, which causes UEA2 to initiate a call request to UEB but is rejected by the system, improves the user's service experience and realizes the technology of displaying different statuses in different groups.

A third embodiment of the first aspect of the invention:

In this embodiment, the POC user UEB belongs to the group A1 and the group A2 at the same time, the status information set by UEB for itself is online, the group status of the group A1 is set to Allow, and the group status of the group A2 is set to Block: Another POC user UEA also belongs to group A1 and group A2 at the same time. According to the business logic in the second embodiment, UEA obtains the status information of UEB in group A1 as online, and obtains the status information of UEB in group A2. The status information is offline. At this time, the UEA knows that the actual status of the UEB is online, and can know the sensitivity of the UEB to different groups.
