Description

Short message blocking system and method

technical field

The invention relates to a short message blocking system and method, in particular to a cross-communication network short message blocking system and method.

technical background

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the short message service structure of the GSM mobile communication network in the known technology. A GSM mobile communication network includes mobile phones 11, 12, message switching center (Message Switch Center; MSC) 13, 16, short message service center (Short Message Switch Center; SMSC) 14, home location register (Home Location Registration; HLR) 15 And a Visit Location Register (Visit Location Registration; VLR) 17 . The mobile phones 11 and 12 are terminal devices for sending and receiving short messages respectively. The message switching center 13, 16 will connect multiple base stations (Base Station) and act as a switch to receive the short message from the mobile phone 11 from the base station, and transmit the short message and communication-related information to the short message service center 14. The HLR 15 includes a database storing communication-related data for responding to the SMSC 14's need to verify the correctness of the phone number. Short message service center 14 is the central hub of short message transmission, is responsible for temporarily storing short messages, by inquiring home location register 15 to verify the correctness of phone number, when mobile phone 12 is on-line normally, transmits short message to message switching center 16, however , when mobile phone 12 is not normally on-line, it will carry out retransmission (retry) or overtime control (time-out control). The visitor location register 17 includes a database storing mobile phone registration data corresponding to the base station information to which the mobile phone 12 is registered. The message exchange center 16 inquires the base station information of the visitor location register 17, and transmits the short message to the mobile phone 12 accordingly.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the short message service communication of the GSM mobile communication network in the prior art. When the user wants to send a short message to the mobile phone 12 through the mobile phone 11 , the short message, the source phone number and the destination phone number 21 will be sent to the message switching center 13 first. When the message switching center 13 receives the short message sending request, it will send the short message, the source phone number and the destination phone number 21 to the short message service center 14 . Afterwards, the short message service center 14 must inquire the home location register 15 to verify the correctness of the destination phone number, and obtain the routing information (routing information) 22, after the verification is completed, according to the routing information, transfer the short message, the source phone number number and the destination telephone number 21 to the message switching center 16. When the message switching center 16 receives a short message sending request, it will obtain the mobile phone registration information 23 by inquiring the visitor location register 17, and transmit the short message, the source phone number and the destination phone number 21 to the mobile phone 12 according to the registration information. When the short message is delivered successfully, the delivery completion report 24 will be delivered to the short message service center 14 , the message exchange center 13 and the mobile phone 11 in sequence.

Telex supplementary service (supplementary service) is used to provide users with the control of enabling or disabling communication services, including enabling or disabling short message service. In the GSM mobile communication network, the user can set whether to send or receive a short message by telex supplementary service, and store this information in the home location register 15. When the message switching center 13 intends to deliver a short message to a When the destination phone number is set, the short message transmission can be blocked by setting the receiving short message service of the destination phone number to be closed. However, when the destination phone number can use the GPRS mobile communication network, the user still receives the short message although the service of receiving the short message is turned off. Fig. 3 is a flow chart showing the delivery route information response in the prior art. The reason is that when the HLR 15 receives a delivery channel information request, as shown in step S31, it will first determine whether the destination phone number is disabled for receiving short message services, as shown in step S32. If otherwise, respond to the GSM delivery path information, as shown in step S33, if so, continue the judgment of step S34, and judge whether the destination telephone number has registered GPRS service. If not, then respond to error information, as shown in step S35, if yes, then respond to GPRS delivery channel information. Therefore, the user will receive the short message through the GPRS mobile communication network. Similarly, although the user closes the short message service, he will still send the short message if he can use the service provided by the GPRS mobile communication network.

In order to solve the above problems, an effective short message blocking system and method are needed, which can effectively block the situation of receiving or transmitting short messages through the GPRS mobile communication network.
