The operation and maintenance server provides configuration management tools for the system.

A method for realizing group sending of short messages according to the present invention comprises the following steps:

(1) The broadcast SMS sender (business operator) and the broadcast SMS receiver both agree to a specific service agreement before proceeding to the next step, which can prevent end users from receiving unnecessary information and information leakage from the sender;

(2) The receiving protocol is a two-way authentication process, that is: the sender of the broadcast SMS agrees to add the receiver of the broadcast SMS to his sending range, and the system will send a confirmation message to the receiver of the broadcast SMS; Send a short message to the system agreeing to accept the service, then the two-way authentication is completed, and the sender of the broadcast short message can send a broadcast message to the sender of the broadcast short message; otherwise, the two-way authentication fails, and the service cannot be used;

(3) The receiver of the broadcast SMS can also actively initiate a service request, and the service can only be used after the sender of the broadcast SMS confirms and agrees. in range;

(4) The broadcast short message sender operator logs in the short message mass sending Web server through a browser, and carries out identity verification by submitting a user name and a password;

(5) The operator numbers the numbers within the scope of his own sending, and uses the group to manage the target number. The group can be managed at multiple levels, and a group can be divided into multiple subgroups;

(6) The operator defines a new task: set the message content, sending validity period (start sending time and end sending time), target group to be sent and other conditions;

(7) The system can monitor the content and flow of broadcast messages sent. By searching some key fields, operators can screen suspicious messages; limit the flow of messages sent to avoid impact on the entire mobile communication system;

(8) The business processing module regularly scans the user tasks, puts the tasks to the validity period into the sending task queue, and deletes the expired tasks from the sending task queue;

(9) Check whether there are unsent numbers in the tasks in the sending task queue, and send them;

(10) If all the numbers of the valid task are sent within the validity period, the task will be ended and the task will be deleted from the sending task queue;

(11) Receive the sending report provided by the short message center, and save the sending result in the database for query, statistics and retry by the sender of the broadcast short message. According to the sending result, the call list is output, and the operator can use this as a basis to charge the service user;

(12) The operation of the sender of the above-mentioned broadcast short message can be realized by means of a short message command: specific operation command + operation parameter 1 + operation parameter 2 +...

As shown in FIG. 3 , the user can also manage the group database and the task database by submitting a group management request and a task management request at the same time.

The device and implementation method for mass sending of short messages proposed by the present invention do not need to modify the existing network. For the short message center, only one server for mass sending of short messages is needed to realize the function of mass sending of short messages, which is a good choice for operators. At present, short message service has become an important business growth point of operators. As a value-added service of short message service, bulk SMS can increase new income sources for operators. It can be predicted that it will become one of the characteristic services to attract users.
