Group Message Service Implementation in Converged SIP Networks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a lack of a specific implementation method for group message services within converged service systems, which integrate various communication services like short messages, multimedia, and voice services, in next-generation IP-based networks.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a sender's home participant session and message processing module to forward messages to a controller session and message processing module based on a group identifier, which then authorizes and delivers the message to the destination user's home participant session and message processing module, facilitating message delivery notifications through a SIP/IP core bearer network.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a converged service system integrates various communication services (short messages, multimedia, voice), then service versatility is improved, but device complexity increases due to the need for multiple service functions and protocols
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal message processing architecture where a single message processing module can handle multiple service types (short messages, multimedia messages, email, voice messages) through a unified interface. The system uses a common message structure and processing flow that adapts to different service types, allowing one component to perform multiple functions rather than requiring separate dedicated modules for each service type.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the converged service system into distinct functional modules: message processing module, session management module, and user profile module. Each module has a specific responsibility and can be independently developed, deployed, and maintained. This segmentation reduces overall system complexity by breaking down the integrated service system into manageable, loosely-coupled components that can work together through standardized interfaces.
2Ease of operation
If group message service is implemented in converged service system without specific implementation method, then service convergence is maintained, but ease of operation deteriorates due to lack of clear service implementation path
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the message processing system to automatically determine the appropriate service type and routing path based on the message content and user profile information. The system self-configures the message delivery process by automatically identifying whether the message is a group message, selecting the correct group identifier, and routing it through the appropriate session management procedures without requiring manual configuration or complex user intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter changes in message headers and user profiles to dynamically adjust the service handling behavior. By including service type indicators, group identifiers, and user preferences in message parameters, the system can automatically adapt the processing flow, routing decisions, and delivery mechanisms based on the specific message characteristics without requiring complex hard-coded logic for each service scenario.
3Reliability
If message delivery notification is implemented for each destination user, then service reliability is improved, but loss of time increases due to multiple notification cycles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual message delivery notifications into a single consolidated notification for group messages. Instead of sending separate notifications to the sender for each destination user's message status, the system aggregates the delivery status of multiple recipients and returns a unified notification that covers all destination users. This combining approach maintains complete delivery tracking while significantly reducing the number of notification cycles and associated processing time.

AI summary
A method and system for implementing a group message service based on a converged service system, and the method comprises: a sender converged service client sending a message to a sender's home participant session and message processing module, and the message including a group identifier; said sender's home participant session and message processing module forwarding said message to a controller session and message processing module according to said group identifier; the controller session and message processing module authorizing the sender, and forwarding said message to a destination user's home participant session and message processing module, the destination user corresponding to the group identifier; and said destination user's home participant session and message processing module forwarding said message to a converged service client terminal of said destination user.
