[0065] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "multiple" mentioned in this disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art should understand that unless otherwise clearly specified in the context, it should be understood as "one or more".

[0066] To solve the above problems, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a dialing method, device, system, device, and storage medium.

[0067] To facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the dialing system will be described first.

[0068] Figure 1 A dialing system architecture diagram in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0069] As Figure 1 shown, the dialing system may include:

[0070] An application server D-AS 102 and a serving call session control function S-CSCF network element 104;

[0071] The D-AS 102 is configured to receive the dialing information sent by the S-CSCF network element 104, determine whether the user who dials is subscribed to the direct-dial specific international long-distance call service based on the user identifier. When it is determined that the user has subscribed to the direct-dial specific international long-distance call service, determine the country or region to which the number dialed by the user belongs based on the dialed digits; determine the prefix number corresponding to the country or region based on the determined country or region, complete the dialed digits with the prefix number to obtain the final dialed digits, and send the final dialed digits to the S-CSCF network element 104;

[0072] The S-CSCF network element 104 is configured to receive the final dialed digits sent by the D-AS 102 and make a call based on the final dialed digits.

[0073] In some embodiments, the server may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The terminal may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a smart speaker, a smart watch, etc., but is not limited thereto. This application does not make any restrictions here.

[0074] The dialing system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure receives dialing information, then determines whether the user who dials is subscribed to the direct dialing service for specific international long-distance calls based on the user identifier included in the dialing information. Then, when it is determined that the user is subscribed to the direct dialing service for specific international long-distance calls, it determines the country or region to which the number dialed by the user belongs based on the dialing digits. Then, it determines the prefix number corresponding to the determined country or region, and then completes the dialing digits based on the prefix number to obtain the final dialing digits, and then makes a call based on the final dialing digits. Thus, the present disclosure can automatically complete the prefix number required for international roaming calls only when the user dials a valid number, avoiding the problem that the user needs to dial a large number of digits and improving the user experience.

[0075] Figure 2 Fig. shows another architecture diagram of the dialing system in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0076] As Figure 2 shown, the dialing system 20 may further include:

[0077] User terminal 106;

[0078] The user terminal 106 is used to subscribe to the direct dialing service for specific international long-distance calls and send the dialing information to the S-CSCF network element when subscribing to the direct dialing service for specific international long-distance calls.

[0079] In some embodiments, the user terminal may include various terminal devices.

[0080] In some embodiments, the terminal device may be various electronic devices, including but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, desktop computers, wearable devices, augmented reality devices, virtual reality devices, etc.

[0081] In some embodiments, both the user terminal and the S-CSCF network element and between the S-CSCF network element and the D-AS may be transmitted in a wired or wireless manner.

[0082] In some embodiments, the wireless network or wired network described above uses standard communication technology and / or protocols. The network is typically the Internet, but may also be any network, including but not limited to a local area network (LAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a wide area network (WAN), a mobile, wired or wireless network, a dedicated network or any combination of a virtual private network). In some embodiments, technologies and / or formats including Hyper Text Mark-up Language (HTML), Extensible Markup Language (XML), etc. are used to represent data exchanged over the network. In addition, conventional encryption technologies such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Transport Layer Security (TLS), Virtual Private Network (VPN), Internet Protocol Security (IPsec), etc. may be used to encrypt all or some links. In other embodiments, customized and / or dedicated data communication technologies may also be used to replace or supplement the above data communication technologies.

[0083] In some embodiments, the user terminal may activate the direct dial specific international long-distance telephone service by means of the user going through a store, calling a customer service hotline, logging into an online office, etc. to activate the direct dial specific international long-distance telephone service for the user's corresponding number.

[0084] In some embodiments, the direct dial specific international long-distance telephone service means that users abroad can also enjoy a series of services provided by telecommunications operators, including calls, text messages, multimedia messages, and mobile Internet access.

[0085] In some embodiments, opening the direct dial specific international long-distance telephone service also includes the user opening or canceling the direct dial specific international long-distance telephone service to the account system. Then, the interface between the account system and the D-AS sends an instruction to change the field value used to indicate that the state of the user's direct dial specific international long-distance telephone service has changed.

[0086] The dialing system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure receives dialing information, then determines whether the user who dials is subscribed to the direct-dial specific international long-distance call service based on the user identification included in the dialing information. Then, when it is determined that the user is subscribed to the direct-dial specific international long-distance call service, it determines the country or region to which the number dialed by the user belongs based on the dialing digits, then determines the prefix number corresponding to the determined country or region, then completes the dialing digits based on the prefix number to obtain the final dialing digits, and then makes a call based on the final dialing digits. Thus, the present disclosure can automatically complete the prefix number required for international roaming calls only when the user dials a valid number, avoiding the problem of the user dialing a large number of digits and improving the user experience.

[0087] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a dialing method.

[0088] Figure 3 The flowchart of a dialing method in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0089] As Figure 3 shown, the method may include:

[0090] S310, receive dialing information, where the dialing information includes dialing digits and a user identification.

[0091] In some embodiments, the dialing digits may include the valid digits dialed by the user. Among them, the valid digits may include the number without a prefix when the user dials a roaming call.

[0092] In some embodiments, the user identification may include the number corresponding to the user.

[0093] S320, determine whether the user who dials is subscribed to the direct-dial specific international long-distance call service based on the user identification.

[0094] In some embodiments, the corresponding relationship between the user identification and the status of whether international roaming is subscribed may be stored in advance, and after determining the user identification, it may be determined whether the user is subscribed to the direct-dial specific international long-distance call service based on the user identification and the above corresponding relationship.

[0095] S330, when it is determined that the user is subscribed to the direct-dial specific international long-distance call service, determine the country or region to which the number dialed by the user belongs based on the dialing digits.

[0096] In some embodiments, the telephone numbers in different countries or regions are different, and the country and region to which the above number belongs may be determined based on the number dialed by the user.

[0097] S340, determine the prefix number corresponding to the country or region based on the determined country or region.

[0098] In some embodiments, a correspondence between different countries or regions and the prefix numbers of different countries or regions may be established in advance. Then, after determining the country or region, the prefix number corresponding to the country or region may be determined based on the country or region and the above correspondence.

[0099] S350, complete the dialed digits based on the prefix number to obtain the final dialed digits, and make a call based on the final dialed digits.

[0100] In some embodiments, the determined prefix number and the dialed digits in the dialing information may be combined to form the final dialed digits.

[0101] The dialing method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure receives dialing information, then determines whether the user making the call has subscribed to the direct dialing of specific international long-distance calls based on the user identifier included in the dialing information. Then, when it is determined that the user has subscribed to the direct dialing of specific international long-distance calls, the country or region to which the number dialed by the user belongs is determined based on the dialed digits. Then, the prefix number corresponding to the determined country or region is determined based on the determined country or region. Then, the dialed digits are completed based on the prefix number to obtain the final dialed digits, and then a call is made based on the final dialed digits. Thus, the present disclosure can automatically complete the prefix number required for international roaming calls only when the user dials a valid number. This avoids the problem of the user dialing a large number of digits and improves the user experience.

[0102] Figure 4 FIG. shows a flowchart of another dialing method in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0106] S430, when it is determined that the user has subscribed to the direct dialing of specific international long-distance calls, determine the country or region to which the number dialed by the user belongs based on the dialed digits;

[0107] S440, extract a network identifier from the dialing information.

[0108] In some embodiments, the network identifier may include an identifier of the network corresponding to the network coverage area where the user equipment for dialing is located.

[0109] In some embodiments, extracting a network identifier from dialing information may include: extracting a Mobile Country Code (MCC) and a Mobile Network Code (MNC) based on a PVNI header field carried in the dialing information.

[0110] In some embodiments, extracting a Mobile Country Code (MCC) and a Mobile Network Code (MNC) based on a PVNI header field carried in the dialing information may include:

[0111] Extract a utran-cell-id-3gpp field from the PANI header field of the dialing information. This field adopts the cell number format of Long Term Evolution (LTE). By its prefix, the Mobile Country Code (MCC) and the Mobile Network Code (MNC), determine whether the PLMN logged in by the user belongs to the range where specific international direct-dial calls can be made.

[0112] S450, determine whether the user is within the geographical range where specific international direct-dial call services can be provided based on the network identifier.

[0113] In some embodiments, since the network identifier corresponds to the identifier of the network within the network coverage area where the terminal device is located, the approximate range where the user is located can be determined based on the network identifier.

[0114] S460, in the case where it is determined that the user is within the geographical range where specific international direct-dial call services can be provided, determine the prefix number corresponding to the country or region based on the determined country or region.

[0115] In some embodiments, in the case where it is determined that the user is not within the geographical range where specific international direct-dial call services can be provided, the dialing information may be sent to the S-CSCF network element so that the S-CSCF network element processes it according to the standard process.

[0116] S470, complete the dialing digits based on the prefix number to obtain the final dialing digits, and make a call based on the final dialing digits.

[0117] The dialing method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure receives dialing information, then determines whether the user who dials is subscribed to the direct dialing service for specific international long-distance calls based on the user identifier included in the dialing information, and then, when it is determined that the user is subscribed to the direct dialing service for specific international long-distance calls, determines the country or region to which the number dialed by the user belongs based on the dialing digits, then determines the prefix number corresponding to the determined country or region based on the country or region, then completes the dialing digits based on the prefix number to obtain the final dialing digits, and then makes a call based on the final dialing digits. Thus, the present disclosure can automatically complete the prefix number required for international roaming calls only when the user dials a valid number, avoiding the problem that the user needs to dial a large number of digits and improving the user experience.

[0118] Figure 5 Fig. shows a flowchart of another dialing method in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0122] S530, determining whether the user who dials is subscribed to the direct dialing service for specific international long-distance calls based on the user identifier.

[0123] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the user who dials is not subscribed to the direct dialing service for specific international long-distance calls, the dialing information may be sent to the S-CSCF so that the S-CSCF processes it according to the standard process.

[0124] S540, when it is determined that the user is subscribed to the direct dialing service for specific international long-distance calls, determining the country or region to which the number dialed by the user belongs based on the dialing digits.

[0125] S550, determining the prefix number corresponding to the country or region based on the determined country or region;

[0126] S560, completing the dialing digits based on the prefix number to obtain the final dialing digits, and making a call based on the final dialing digits.

[0127] The dialing method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure receives dialing information, then determines whether the user who dials is subscribed to the direct dialing service for specific international long-distance calls based on the user identifier included in the dialing information. Then, when it is determined that the user is subscribed to the direct dialing service for specific international long-distance calls, it determines the country or region to which the number dialed by the user belongs based on the dialing digits, then determines the prefix number corresponding to the determined country or region based on the determined country or region, then completes the dialing digits based on the prefix number to obtain the final dialing digits, and then makes a call based on the final dialing digits. Thus, the present disclosure can automatically complete the prefix number required for international roaming calls only when the user dials a valid number, avoiding the problem of the user dialing a large number of digits and improving the user experience.

[0134] S650, adding the international call prefix and the country code before the dialing digits, replacing the REQUEST header field in the dialing information, to obtain the final dialing digits.

[0135] In some embodiments, making a call based on the final dialing digits may include sending the above final number to the S-CSCF network element, so that the S-CSCF network element executes a standard call process based on the final number.

[0136] The dialing method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure receives dialing information, then determines whether the user who dials is subscribed to the direct dialing service for specific international long-distance calls based on the user identifier included in the dialing information. Then, when it is determined that the user is subscribed to the direct dialing service for specific international long-distance calls, it determines the country or region to which the number dialed by the user belongs based on the dialing digits. Then, it determines the prefix number corresponding to the determined country or region based on the country or region, and then completes the dialing digits based on the prefix number to obtain the final dialing digits, and then makes a call based on the final dialing digits. Thus, the present disclosure can automatically complete the prefix number required for international roaming calls only when the user dials a valid number, avoiding the problem that the user dials a large number of digits and improving the user experience.
