[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, an application list distribution method is provided. This embodiment illustrates the application of this method to a data channel control platform in a communication system, including the following steps:

[0051] Step 101: Receive an application list retrieval request sent by the data channel media platform;

[0052] The application list retrieval request can be generated by the data channel media platform upon receiving an application list download request from a user terminal.

[0053] In practical applications, the data channel media platform can receive application list download requests sent by user terminals, generate corresponding application list retrieval requests based on these requests, and then send these application list retrieval requests to the data channel control platform in the communication system.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the communication system may include a DC media platform (i.e., a data channel media platform) and a DC control platform (i.e., a data channel control platform). An application list management module can be configured in the DC control platform. This application list management module can be used for querying and processing user DC application IDs and generating application lists.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the DC terminal (i.e., the user terminal) can establish a Bootstrap DC channel with the DC media platform and can initiate application list download requests through the Bootstrap DC channel.

[0056] In one example, the application list management module of the DC control platform can receive application list download requests initiated by the DC terminal by receiving application list download requests (i.e., application list retrieval requests) forwarded by the DC media platform.

[0057] Step 102: Send an application query request for the user terminal to the voice service network element;

[0058] In practice, after receiving an application list retrieval request from the data channel media platform, the data channel control platform can send an application query request for the user terminal to the voice service network element based on the application list retrieval request.

[0059] For example, the data channel control platform can send an application query request to the voice service network element to request the voice service network element to return the application identifier of the data channel application subscribed to by the user terminal.

[0060] In one example, such as Figure 2As shown, the data channel control platform can initiate a DC application query request to the voice service network element MMTEL AS via an HTTP GET message.

[0061] Step 103: Receive application description information returned by the voice service network element in response to the application query request, generate a target application list for the user terminal based on the application description information, and send the target application list to the user terminal through the data channel media platform.

[0062] As an example, the target application list can be a list of data channel applications that the user terminal has subscribed to, such as providing IMS DC users with a downloadable list of their subscribed IMS DC applications.

[0063] In practical applications, the data channel control platform can receive application description information returned by the voice service network element in response to application query requests. Based on this application description information, it can generate a target application list for the user terminal and distribute the target application list to the user terminal through the data channel media platform, thereby enabling on-demand download of the IMS DataChannel application list.

[0064] For example, the application description information may include the application identifier of the data channel application subscribed to by the user terminal, such as the DC application ID, etc. Figure 2 As shown, the application list management module of the DC control platform can dynamically generate an application list (i.e., the target application list) containing information such as the DC application ID and URL after receiving the DC application ID returned by the voice service network element MMTEL AS. This list can then be sent to the DC media platform, which can then return the application list to the DC terminal.

[0065] Compared to traditional methods, the technical solution in this embodiment can support the management and download of the application list of the IMS DC applications that IMS DC users have signed up for. This solves the problem that DC users can only download the unified DC application list provided by the IMS DC platform under the traditional method. It can meet the business needs of providing personalized DC applications to users according to their needs and improve the efficiency of communication service processing.

[0066] In the above application list distribution method, the data channel control platform in the communication system receives an application list retrieval request sent by the data channel media platform, then sends an application query request for the user terminal to the voice service network element, and then receives the application description information returned by the voice service network element in response to the application query request. Based on the application description information, a target application list for the user terminal is generated, and the target application list is distributed to the user terminal through the data channel media platform. This realizes on-demand download of the IMS DC application list, enabling the IMS network to provide users with the application list download they need. It can meet the service requirements of providing personalized DC applications based on user needs and improve the efficiency of communication service processing.

[0067] In one embodiment, sending an application query request for the user terminal to the voice service network element may include the following steps:

[0068] The application query request is sent to the voice service network element via an HTTP GET message; the application query request is used to instruct the voice service network element to return the application identifier of the data channel application subscribed to by the user terminal.

[0069] In practical implementation, the DC control platform (i.e., the data channel control platform) can initiate a DC application query request to the voice service network element MMTEL AS via an HTTP GET message, requesting the voice service network element to return the application identifier of the data channel application subscribed to by the user terminal.

[0070] In this embodiment, an application query request is sent to the voice service network element via an HTTP GET message. This allows the user to query the application data they need based on their requirements, providing data support for obtaining the list of applications required by the user.

[0071] In one embodiment, before the step of sending an application query request for the user terminal to the voice service network element, the following steps may also be included:

[0072] Obtain the user identifier corresponding to the user terminal from the application list request; generate the application query request containing the user identifier.

[0073] In one example, upon receiving an application list retrieval request, the user identifier corresponding to the user terminal can be obtained from the application list retrieval request. Then, an application query request containing the user identifier can be generated to further request the application description information corresponding to the user identifier from the voice service network element. This enables the IMS network to provide the user with the application list download they need based on the user identifier or other information.

[0074] In this embodiment, by obtaining the user identifier corresponding to the user terminal from the application list request, and then generating an application query request containing the user identifier, it is possible to realize the business requirement of providing personalized DC applications for users.

[0075] In one embodiment, generating a list of target applications for the user terminal based on the application description information may include the following steps:

[0076] The application identifier of the target application is obtained from the application description information; the target application is the data channel application subscribed to by the user terminal; the target application list is generated based on the application identifier and the unified resource positioning identifier of the target application.

[0077] In practical applications, the application identifier of the target application can be obtained from the application description information. The target application can be the data channel application subscribed to by the user terminal. For example, the IMS DC application ID subscribed to by the IMS DC user can be obtained, and then an application list containing information such as the DC application ID and URL can be dynamically generated. That is, the target application list is generated based on the application identifier and the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the target application.

[0078] In this embodiment, by obtaining the application identifier of the target application from the application description information, and then generating a target application list based on the application identifier and the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), the on-demand download of the IMS DC application list can be realized, thereby improving the efficiency of communication service processing.

[0079] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, another method for distributing application lists is provided. Taking the application of this method to a voice service network element as an example, the method includes the following steps:

[0080] Step 301: Receive an application query request sent by the data channel control platform in the communication system;

[0081] The application query request can be generated by the data channel control platform upon receiving an application list retrieval request from the data channel media platform; the application list retrieval request can be generated by the data channel media platform upon receiving an application list download request from the user terminal.

[0082] In practical applications, after receiving an application list retrieval request from the data channel media platform, the data channel control platform can send an application query request for the user terminal to the voice service network element based on the application list retrieval request.

[0083] In one example, such as Figure 2As shown, the communication system may also include a voice service network element MMTEL AS, in which a DC application query module can be configured. This DC application query module can be used to query the DC applications subscribed to by the end user.

[0084] Step 302: Determine the application description information corresponding to the user terminal; the application description information is the description information of the data channel application subscribed to by the user terminal;

[0085] Upon receiving an application query request, the voice service network element can determine the description information of the data channel application subscribed to by the user terminal, such as the value of the DC Application description parameter (e.g., DC Application ID), as the application description information corresponding to the user terminal.

[0086] Step 303: Send the application description information to the data channel control platform.

[0087] In practical implementation, the voice service network element can send application description information to the data channel control platform. The data channel control platform can then generate a target application list for the user terminal based on the application description information and distribute the target application list to the user terminal through the data channel media platform. This target application list can be a list of data channel applications subscribed to by the user terminal, thereby enabling IMS DC users to download the application list of their subscribed IMS DC applications.

[0088] In the above-described application list distribution method, the voice service network element receives an application query request sent by the data channel control platform in the communication system. This application query request is generated by the data channel control platform upon receiving an application list retrieval request sent by the data channel media platform, and the application list retrieval request is generated by the data channel media platform upon receiving an application list download request sent by a user terminal. Then, the application description information corresponding to the user terminal is determined. This application description information is the description information of the data channel applications subscribed to by the user terminal. The application description information is then sent to the data channel control platform, which generates a target application list for the user terminal based on the application description information. This target application list is then distributed to the user terminal through the data channel media platform. This target application list, which is the list of data channel applications subscribed to by the user terminal, enables on-demand download of IMS DC application lists. This allows the IMS network to provide users with the application list downloads they need, meeting the service requirements of providing personalized DC applications based on user needs and improving the efficiency of communication service processing.

[0089] In one embodiment, determining the application description information corresponding to the user terminal may include the following steps:

[0090] From the application query request, obtain the user identifier corresponding to the user terminal; based on the user identifier, obtain the application description information corresponding to the user terminal; the application description information includes the application identifier of the data channel application subscribed to by the user terminal.

[0091] In practical applications, application query requests may carry a user identifier corresponding to the user terminal, or other relevant information used for querying. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations. The user identifier corresponding to the user terminal can be obtained from the received application query request, and then the application description information corresponding to the user terminal can be obtained based on this user identifier. This application description information may include the application identifier of the data channel application subscribed to by the user terminal. This enables the IMS network to provide users with a list of applications to download based on the user identifier or other information.

[0092] In this embodiment, by obtaining the user identifier corresponding to the user terminal from the application query request, and then obtaining the application description information corresponding to the user terminal based on the user identifier, it is possible to provide the user with the list of applications they need for download based on the user identifier.

[0093] In one embodiment, obtaining the application description information corresponding to the user terminal based on the user identifier may include the following steps:

[0094] If user storage data corresponding to the user identifier already exists locally, the application description information corresponding to the user terminal is obtained based on the application description parameter information in the user storage data; the user storage data is obtained from the user data storage network element during the user registration stage.

[0095] Among them, the user data storage network element can store the application information that the user has signed up for. For example, the application information of the data channel application that each user has signed up for can be stored through the user data storage network element HSS (Home Subscriber Server).

[0096] In one example, such as Figure 2As shown, the voice service network element MMTEL AS can receive DC application query requests sent by the DC control platform (i.e., the data channel control platform). If the user's RepositoryData storage data has been obtained through the Sh interface during the user registration stage (i.e., it is detected that user storage data corresponding to the user identifier already exists locally), the value of the DC application description (DC Application) parameter (such as DC Application ID, etc.) in the RepositoryData storage data can be returned to the DC control platform. That is, based on the application description parameter information in the user storage data, the application description information corresponding to the user terminal can be obtained and sent to the data channel control platform.

[0097] In this embodiment, by detecting that user storage data corresponding to a user identifier already exists locally, the application description information corresponding to the user terminal is obtained based on the application description parameter information in the user storage data. This enables the application description information to be quickly obtained based on the user storage data acquired during the user registration stage, providing data support for on-demand download of the IMS DC application list.

[0098] In one embodiment, obtaining the application description information corresponding to the user terminal based on the user identifier may include the following steps:

[0099] If no user storage data corresponding to the user identifier is detected locally, a user storage data query request containing the user identifier is sent to the user data storage network element; the user storage network element returns the user storage data corresponding to the user identifier in response to the user storage data query request; and the application description information corresponding to the user terminal is obtained based on the received user storage data; wherein, the user data storage network element stores the application information subscribed by the user.

[0100] In practical applications, such as Figure 2 As shown, the communication system may also include a user data storage network element (HSS). Based on this user data storage network element (HSS), a parameter DC application description (DCApplication) can be added to the data stored in RepositoryData. This parameter can be used to record and carry the DC application information (such as DC application ID) that the user has subscribed to.

[0101] In one example, after the voice service network element MMTEL AS receives a DC application query request from the DC control platform (i.e., the data channel control platform), if it has not obtained the RepositoryData storage data during the user registration phase (i.e., it detects that there is no user storage data corresponding to the user identifier locally), it can initiate a user data query to the user data storage network element HSS through the Sh interface. That is, it sends a user storage data query request containing the user identifier to the user data storage network element, and then returns the value of the DC application description (DC Application) parameter in the queried RepositoryData storage data to the DC control platform. That is, it receives the user storage data corresponding to the user identifier returned by the user data storage network element in response to the user storage data query request, obtains the application description information corresponding to the user terminal based on the received user storage data, and sends it to the data channel control platform.

[0102] In this embodiment, when it is detected that there is no user storage data corresponding to the user identifier locally, a user storage data query request containing the user identifier is sent to the user data storage network element. Then, the user storage network element returns the user storage data corresponding to the user identifier in response to the user storage data query request. Based on the received user storage data, the application description information corresponding to the user terminal is obtained. This allows for querying and obtaining user storage data when user storage data was not obtained during the user registration stage, providing data support for on-demand download of the IMS DC application list.

[0103] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the above steps, the following is combined with... Figure 2 An example is provided to illustrate an embodiment of this application, but it should be understood that the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0104] Steps 1 to 3: The DC terminal can establish a Bootstrap DC channel with the DC media platform (i.e., the data channel media platform) and can initiate application list download requests through this channel;

[0105] Step 4: The application list management module in the DC control platform (i.e., the data channel control platform) can receive application list download requests forwarded by the DC media platform, and then initiate DC application query requests to the voice service network element MMTEL AS through HTTP GET messages;

[0106] Steps 5-1 to 9-1 address the process in scenarios where user RepositoryData has already been acquired during the DC user registration phase:

[0107] Among them, steps 5-1 to 6-1: If the user's RepositoryData storage data (i.e., user storage data) has been obtained through the Sh interface during the user registration stage, the DC application query module in the voice service network element MMTEL AS can return the value of the DC application description (i.e., application description parameter information) parameter in the RepositoryData storage data, such as the DC application ID, to the application list management module in the DC control platform, that is, send the application description information to the data channel control platform;

[0108] Step 7-1: The application list management module in the DC control platform can dynamically generate an application list (i.e., the target application list) containing information such as application ID (i.e., the application identifier of the target application) and URL (i.e., the Uniform Resource Locator).

[0109] Step 8-1: The application list management module in the DC control platform can return the application list to the DC media platform;

[0110] Step 9-1: The DC media platform can return the application list to the DC terminal;

[0111] Steps 5-2 to 11-2 address the process in scenarios where the user's RepositoryData is not obtained during the DC user registration phase:

[0112] In steps 5-2 to 6-2: If the user's RepositoryData storage data is not obtained through the Sh interface during the user registration phase, the DC application query module in the voice service network element MMTEL AS can initiate a user RepositoryData data query request (i.e., a user storage data query request) to the user data storage network element HSS.

[0113] Step 7-2: The retrieved user RepositoryData can be stored, which may include the value of the DC Application description parameter (such as DC Application ID), and returned to the DC Application query module in the voice service network element MMTEL AS;

[0114] Step 8-2: The DC application query module in the voice service network element MMTEL AS can return the value of the DC application description (DC Application) parameter (such as DC application ID) in the RepositoryData storage data to the application list management module in the DC control platform.

[0115] Step 9-2: The application list management module in the DC control platform can dynamically generate an application list (i.e., a target application list) containing information such as application ID and URL;

[0116] Step 10-2: The application list management module in the DC control platform can return the application list to the DC media platform;

[0117] Step 11-2: The DC media platform can return the application list to the DC terminal.

[0118] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 The diagram illustrates another method for distributing application lists. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0119] In step 401, the data channel control platform in the communication system receives an application list retrieval request sent by the data channel media platform. In step 402, the data channel control platform sends an application query request to the voice service network element via an HTTP GET message. In step 403, the voice service network element receives the application query request sent by the data channel control platform in the communication system. In step 404, the application description information corresponding to the user terminal is determined and sent to the data channel control platform. In step 405, the data channel control platform receives the application description information returned by the voice service network element in response to the application query request. In step 406, the application identifier of the target application is obtained from the application description information; the target application is the data channel application subscribed to by the user terminal. In step 407, a target application list is generated based on the application identifier and Uniform Resource Locator (URL) identifier of the target application, and the target application list is distributed to the user terminal through the data channel media platform. It should be noted that the specific limitations of the above steps can be found in the specific limitations of an application list distribution method described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0120] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages of other steps.

[0121] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an application list distribution device for implementing the application list distribution method described above.
