[0050] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 , is a flowchart of an embodiment of an encrypted voice call method of the present application, comprising the following steps:

[0052] Step 101: Initiate a call request for a voice call, where the call request includes dialing information of the called party.

[0053] In this embodiment of the present application, the calling terminal is a customized terminal that supports encrypted voice calls. In one example, this encrypted voice call type can be an encrypted VoLTE call. The calling terminal can have a dial pad and a secret call application corresponding to the encrypted voice call type installed. The calling terminal is then connected to a service platform. This service platform can be a quantum security service platform, which is used to query the service status of each terminal, such as its online status and secret call service status.

[0054] In step 101, a user initiates a call through the dial pad of the calling party, that is, initiates a call request for a voice call to the called party, and the call request includes the dialing information of the called party. In one embodiment, the voice call is an encrypted VoLTE call.

[0055] Step 102: Based on the dialing information of the called party, the service platform is called to query the service status of the called party.

[0056] In step 102, the calling party needs to call the service platform to query the service status of the called party based on the called party's dialing information. In an optional embodiment, the calling party can call the service platform to query the service status of the called party through a pre-installed Quantum Security Shield application. The service status of the called party to be queried may include whether the called party supports the call type of the voice call, whether the called party has the encrypted call application installed, and whether the called party's network voice call function is available.

[0057] Step 103: When the service status of the called party meets the preset status, the call request and the conversion identifier are sent to the transcoding gateway, where the conversion identifier is generated according to the call type of the voice call and the call type of the voice call supported by the called party. The transcoding gateway is used to convert the voice call signaling in the call request into encrypted network voice call signaling according to the conversion identifier, and then forward the encrypted network voice call signaling to the called party.

[0058] In step 103, when the service status of the called end meets the preset status, the call request and the conversion identifier are sent to the transcoding gateway. In an optional embodiment, if the called end does not support the call type of the voice call initiated by the calling end, and the called end has a secret call application installed, it meets the preset status. For example, if the calling end initiates an encrypted VoLTE call, the called end may be a terminal that does not support encrypted VoLTE calls, but the called end needs to have a secret call application installed. Furthermore, in this example, the called end can support VoLTE calls, but the called end does not support encrypted VoLTE calls.

[0059] After confirming that the called party's service status meets the preset conditions, the call request is sent to the transcoding gateway with a conversion flag. This conversion flag is generated based on the call type of the voice call and the call types supported by the called party. For example, if the calling party initiates an encrypted VoLTE call and the called party supports encrypted VoIP calls, the conversion flag is the VoLTE to VoIP flag.

[0060] The transcoding gateway is used to convert the voice call signaling in the call request into encrypted network voice call signaling according to the conversion identifier, and then forward the encrypted network voice call signaling to the called party. In one example, if the conversion identifier is a VoLTE to VoIP identifier, the transcoding gateway will decrypt the VoLTE voice call signaling in the call request and convert it into VoIP voice call signaling and then encrypt it, thereby sending the encrypted VoIP voice call signaling to the called party. In one embodiment, the call request carrying the conversion identifier is first sent to the IMS network (IP Multimedia Subsystem, i.e., the multimedia subsystem network in some embodiments of the present application). The IMS network identifies the voice call signaling in the call request by identifying the conversion identifier, and then sends the voice call signaling to the transcoding gateway.

[0061] Step 104: After the called party receives the encrypted network voice call signaling, the called party conducts an encrypted voice call with the called party.

[0062] In step 104, after the called party receives the encrypted network voice call signaling, an encrypted voice call is established with the called party. In an optional embodiment, after receiving the encrypted network voice call signaling, the encrypted network voice call signaling application on the called party first decrypts the encrypted network voice call signaling to obtain a voice data packet, thereby establishing an encrypted voice call with the called party that received the voice data packet. In one example, after the called party receives the encrypted VoIP voice call signaling, the calling party that initiated the encrypted VoLTE call can then conduct an encrypted VoLTE-to-VoIP voice call with the called party.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, the calling end initiates a call request for a voice call, and the call request includes the dialing information of the called end; based on the dialing information of the called end, the service platform is called to query the business status of the called end; when the business status of the called end meets the preset status, the call request and the conversion identifier are sent to the transcoding gateway, and the conversion identifier is generated according to the call type of the voice call and the call type of the voice call supported by the called end. The transcoding gateway is used to convert the voice call signaling in the call request into encrypted network voice call signaling according to the conversion identifier, and then forward the encrypted network voice call signaling to the called end; after the called end receives the encrypted network voice call signaling, it conducts an encrypted voice call with the called end. The embodiment of the present application realizes the conversion of the voice call signaling in the call request into encrypted network voice call signaling by deploying the transcoding gateway, which not only opens up a direct communication channel between two different encrypted voice communication technologies, VoLTE and VoIP, but also ensures the encryption and decryption of the voice call signaling during transmission, thereby significantly improving the experience quality of encrypted voice calls between users using different encrypted voice communication technologies.

[0064] In an optional embodiment of the present application, when the service state of the called terminal meets the preset state, the call request and the conversion identifier are sent to a transcoding gateway, comprising:

[0065] If the called terminal does not support the call type of the voice call, and a whisper application program for receiving the network voice call signaling is installed on the called terminal, the call request and the conversion identifier are sent to a multimedia subsystem network.

[0066] The multimedia subsystem network is controlled to identify the voice call signaling in the call request according to the conversion identifier;

[0067] The voice call signaling is sent to the transcoding gateway.

[0068] In the embodiment, if the called terminal does not support the call type of the voice call, and a whisper application program for receiving the network voice call signaling is installed on the called terminal, it is determined that the service state of the called terminal meets the preset state. At this time, the call request and the conversion identifier are sent to the multimedia subsystem network (i.e. IMS network). In an example, if the calling terminal initiates an encrypted VoLTE call, the called terminal can be a terminal that does not support encrypted VoLTE call, but the whisper application program needs to be installed on the called terminal.

[0069] After the multimedia subsystem network receives the call request and the conversion identifier, the voice call signaling that needs to be converted in the call request is identified according to the conversion identifier, and then the voice call signaling that needs to be converted is sent to the transcoding gateway. In an example, if the conversion identifier is a VoLTE-to-VoIP identifier, the multimedia subsystem network identifies the VoLTE voice call signaling in the call request according to the conversion identifier, and sends it to the transcoding gateway.

[0070] The embodiments of the present application identify the voice call signaling that needs to be converted through the multimedia subsystem network, and send these signalings to the transcoding gateway, so as to convert the signaling type through the transcoding gateway, and realize encrypted voice call between different voice communication technologies.

[0071] In an optional embodiment of the present application, after the voice call signaling is sent to the transcoding gateway, the method further comprises:

[0072] The transcoding gateway is controlled to decrypt the voice call signaling to obtain decrypted voice call signaling;

[0073] The decrypted voice call signaling is converted into the network voice call signaling by using the transcoding gateway;

[0074] Encrypting the network voice call signaling to obtain the encrypted network voice call signaling;

[0075] The encrypted network voice call signaling is forwarded to the called party.

[0076] In this embodiment, the transcoding gateway needs to perform intermediate decryption, conversion, and encryption. Specifically, after receiving the voice call signaling, the transcoding gateway first needs to decrypt the voice call signaling to obtain the decrypted voice call signaling. The transcoding gateway then uses this decrypted voice call signaling to convert it into network voice call signaling. Finally, the network voice call signaling is encrypted to obtain the encrypted network voice call signaling and forwarded to the called party. In one example, if the conversion flag is a VoLTE to VoIP flag, the transcoding gateway decrypts the VoLTE voice call signaling in the call request, converts it into VoIP voice call signaling, and then encrypts it, sending the encrypted VoIP voice call signaling to the called party.

[0077] The embodiment of the present application uses a transcoding gateway to decrypt, convert, and encrypt voice call signaling and forward it to the called party. During the conversion process, the decryption and encryption of voice call signaling ensure the security of the call content; the transcoding gateway realizes the conversion between different voice communication technologies. Even if the called party does not support a specific call type, it can still receive the call request through the transcoding gateway.

[0078] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the encrypted voice call with the called party includes:

[0079] Controlling the secret speech application on the called party to receive the encrypted network voice call signaling;

[0080] Decrypting the encrypted network voice call signaling to obtain a voice data packet;

[0081] Conduct an encrypted voice call with the called party that has received the voice data packet.

[0082] In this embodiment, the called party receives encrypted network voice call signaling through the secret call application and decrypts the encrypted network voice call signaling into plaintext, obtaining normal voice data packets. The calling party then conducts an encrypted voice call with the called party that received the voice data packets. In one example, after the called party receives the encrypted VoIP voice call signaling, it decrypts the encrypted VoIP voice call signaling into plaintext, obtaining normal voice data packets. The calling party that initiated the encrypted VoLTE call can then conduct an encrypted VoLTE-to-VoIP voice call with the called party.

[0083] The called terminal in the embodiment of the application receives and processes encrypted network voice call signaling through the installed secret conversation application, thereby significantly improving the experience quality of encrypted voice call between users using different encrypted voice communication technologies.

[0084] In an optional embodiment of the application, when the service state of the called terminal meets the preset state, the call request and the conversion identifier are sent to a transcoding gateway, including:

[0085] If the called terminal supports the call type of the voice call, the call request is sent to the called terminal;

[0086] After the called terminal receives the call request, the encrypted voice call is performed with the called terminal;

[0087] Alternatively,

[0088] If the called terminal does not support the call type of the voice call and the called terminal does not install the secret conversation application, the call request of the voice call is changed into a normal call request;

[0089] The normal call request is sent to the called terminal to perform the normal voice call with the called terminal.

[0090] In the embodiment, if the called terminal does not meet the preset state, other types of voice calls can also be performed. In the first case of the embodiment, if the called terminal supports the call type of the voice call initiated by the calling terminal, the call request is directly sent to the called terminal, and after the called terminal receives the call request, the calling terminal can perform the encrypted voice call with the called terminal. In an example, if the calling terminal initiates an encrypted VoLTE call and the called terminal also supports the encrypted VoLTE call, the call request can be directly sent to the called terminal to establish the encrypted VoLTE call between the calling terminal and the called terminal.

[0091] In the second case of the embodiment, if the called terminal does not support the call type of the voice call and the called terminal also does not install the secret conversation application, the call request of the voice call is changed into a normal call request and then sent to the called terminal, and the calling terminal performs the normal voice call with the called terminal. In an example, if the calling terminal initiates an encrypted VoLTE call, but the called terminal does not support the encrypted VoLTE call and does not install the secret conversation application, the encrypted VoLTE call initiated by the calling terminal will fall back to the normal voice call, and finally the normal voice call will be performed with the called terminal.

[0092] When direct communication between two different encrypted voice communication technologies cannot be achieved, the embodiment of the present application also provides the option of conducting other types of voice calls, and can flexibly adjust the call type according to the actual situation of the called party to ensure that the call can proceed smoothly.

[0093] In an optional embodiment of the present application, before sending the call request and the conversion identifier to the multimedia subsystem network, the method further includes:

[0094] Determine whether the network voice call function of the called party is online;

[0095] If the network voice call function of the called party is online, the call request and the conversion identifier are sent to the multimedia subsystem network.

[0096] In this embodiment, before sending the call request and conversion flag to the multimedia subsystem network, the online status of the called party's Internet voice call function can be determined. Specifically, the service platform or the quantum secret call server can be called to query and determine whether the called party's Internet voice call function is online. The quantum secret call server is the platform that communicates with the called party's secret call application. Only if the called party's Internet voice call function is online will the call request and conversion flag be sent to the multimedia subsystem network, allowing subsequent operations such as switching the signaling type to proceed.

[0097] Reference Figure 2 , is a system architecture diagram of an embodiment of an encrypted voice call method of the present application.

[0098] like Figure 2 As shown, when the calling party, equipped with a VoLTE secret call dialer, initiates an encrypted VoLTE call, it calls the service platform to inquire whether the called party has the secret call application installed and whether the network voice call function is online. If the called party has the secret call application installed and the network voice call function is online, the call request and conversion identifier are sent to the IMS network. The IMS network routes the call and sends the VoLTE voice call signaling in the call request to the transcoding gateway for conversion, obtaining encrypted VoIP voice call signaling. The encrypted VoIP voice call signaling is further sent to the VoIP secret call platform, which then sends it to the secret call application on the called party. This completes a VoLTE-to-VoIP encrypted voice call between the calling and called parties.

[0099] The embodiment of the present application determines the online status of the called party and then sends a call request and a conversion identifier. Signaling conversion is performed only when it is confirmed that the called party is online, which can reduce call failures caused by the called party being offline.

[0100] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the encrypted voice call with the called terminal comprises:

[0101] Receiving the heartbeat signal reported by the called terminal in time.

[0102] In the present embodiment, the called terminal needs to report the heartbeat signal in time during the encrypted voice call. In an optional embodiment, the called terminal can report the heartbeat signal to the quantum encrypted voice server in time through the encrypted voice application.

[0103] The present application can monitor the online state of the called terminal in real time by using the heartbeat signal, and can discover and handle possible connection problems in time.

[0104] Referring to Figure 3 is a voice call flowchart of an encrypted voice call method embodiment of the present application.

[0105] Figure 3 The specific implementation process of an encrypted voice call method embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. In the present embodiment, the calling terminal is installed with a quantum security shield application, and the encrypted voice application of the called terminal is in communication connection with the quantum encrypted voice server. The present example shows the encrypted voice call from VoLTE to VoIP between the calling terminal and the called terminal, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0106] Step 1.1, after the calling terminal initiates the call, the quantum security shield application calls the service platform to query whether the calling terminal and the called terminal have opened the VoLTE encrypted voice service.

[0107] Step 1.2, if the called terminal has not opened the VoLTE encrypted voice service, the relevant information is returned to the quantum security shield application of the calling terminal.

[0108] Step 1.3, the quantum security shield application calls the service platform to continue to query whether the called terminal has opened the VoIP encrypted voice service.

[0109] Step 1.4, if the called terminal has opened the VoIP encrypted voice service, the relevant information is returned to the quantum security shield application of the calling terminal.

[0110] Step 1.5, the quantum encrypted voice server is queried to query whether the VoIP service function of the called terminal is online.

[0111] Step 1.6, if the called terminal VoIP is online, the relevant information is returned to the quantum security shield application of the calling terminal.

[0112] Step 2.1: The call request from the calling party carries a conversion identifier and is first sent to the IMS network. The IMS network identifies the voice call signaling in the call request by identifying the conversion identifier and then sends the voice call signaling to the transcoding gateway.

[0113] Step 2.2: The transcoding gateway decrypts, transcodes, and encrypts the voice call signaling, generating the encrypted network voice call signaling. It then sends the transcoded and encrypted network voice call signaling to the called party. Upon receiving the encrypted network voice call signaling, the called party's encrypted call application is activated and enters the VoIP call interface. The calling party's user interface (UI) is also refreshed, entering the encrypted voice call interface. During the encrypted voice call, the called party will periodically report heartbeats to the Quantum Encrypted Call server.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, the calling end initiates a call request for a voice call, and the call request includes the dialing information of the called end; based on the dialing information of the called end, the service platform is called to query the business status of the called end; when the business status of the called end meets the preset status, the call request and the conversion identifier are sent to the transcoding gateway, and the conversion identifier is generated according to the call type of the voice call and the call type of the voice call supported by the called end. The transcoding gateway is used to convert the voice call signaling in the call request into encrypted network voice call signaling according to the conversion identifier, and then forward the encrypted network voice call signaling to the called end; after the called end receives the encrypted network voice call signaling, it conducts an encrypted voice call with the called end. The embodiment of the present application realizes the conversion of the voice call signaling in the call request into encrypted network voice call signaling by deploying the transcoding gateway, which not only opens up a direct communication channel between two different encrypted voice communication technologies, VoLTE and VoIP, but also ensures the encryption and decryption of the voice call signaling during transmission, thereby significantly improving the experience quality of encrypted voice calls between users using different encrypted voice communication technologies.
