Method and device for processing expired short message

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for processing an expired short message, aiming at sending a short message to a destination user terminal according to user demand after the short message expires. The method comprises the following steps: a short message center transfers a short message to an expired message pool instead of deleting it after the short message expires; and when receiving an instruction sent by a destination user terminal for acquiring the expired short message, the short message center looks up in the expired message pool to see if there is an expired short message that satisfies query criteria contained in the instruction, takes out the expired short message that satisfies the query criteria from the expired message pool and sends to the destination user terminal. In this way, a short message can be sent to a destination user terminal according to user demand after the short message expires, thereby improving the service quality of a system. Moreover, as the expired short message is sent according to the user demand, the impact on performance of the short message center is very low and no more running load is placed on the short message center, thus ensuring service performance of the short message center.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method and device for processing expired short messages. Background technique [0002] Short message service is one of the most important value-added services of mobile telecom operators, and it is also the most widely used and most frequently used service. In order to continuously improve the business operation capability, the short message center is also continuously improved. [0003] The short message service is characterized by non-real time and timeliness. The short message service is different from the voice service. The voice service is real-time, and it is hung up when it is not connected. The short message service is non-real-time. The source user sends a short message to the destination user, and the destination user will not receive the message in real time but has a certain delay. If the destination user is turned off or not in the service area, the short message cente...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, for the above-mentioned characteristics of the short message service, under the prior art, there are following defects: when the destination user can receive the message, for example, the destination user returns from abroad (that is, has been transferred back to the service area), or the mobile phone is damaged and repaired Etc., because the previous short message has passed the validity period, the target user can no longer receive these short messages, which may cause some degree of loss to the target user
