Device for inserting additional information into short message on STP (signaling transfer point)

Abstract

The invention provides a device for inserting additional information in short message on an STP (signaling transfer point). The device is additionally arranged on the STP that the short message passes through in the transmitting process through a communication network, and is connected between a message receiving unit and a message transmitting unit of the STP. The device comprises a short message identifying unit, an additional information adapting unit and a message recoding unit. When extensible bytes for carrying the additional information exist, the additional information adapting unit selects proper information, and the message recoding unit inserts as well as edits the additional information into the short message and continues to transmit the message to a receiver, so as to realize the purpose of utilizing the short message to insert advertising business. The device in the invention can carry advertising contents on the short message in transmitting, does not change the transmitting and receiving processes of the short message, and does not need to carry out network expansion; moreover, the advertising pertinence is strong, the accepting degree of audiences is high, and the management of short-message advertising business is easy, thereby promoting the sound development of the short-message advertising business.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of short message and multimedia message services in communication networks. In the signaling transfer point STP, based on the short message processing technology, a device for realizing the insertion of advertisements is obtained. Forward-Mobile -Terminated-Short-Message signaling message, using the mechanism of variable short message content length to analyze the short message content length to determine whether there are expandable bytes for carrying additional information, so as to realize the delivery of advertising services.
