Abstract

A method for processing messages in MMS, which includes: after receiving a message from a user side, an MMSC notifying a home Value Added Service Applications Server corresponding to receivers of the message to process the message according to each identifier, which is carried in the message, of the receiver that belongs to the Value Added Service Applications Server and that is carried in the message. The present invention further discloses a system for processing messages in the MMS. By adopting the technique solution provided in the invention, it could successfully implement the message service of a terminal sending messages to multiple receivers which belong to the same Value Added Service Applications Server. Moreover, it could further reduce the message flux between the MMSC and the Value Added Service Applications server so as to reduce the occupancy of the communication resources, increase the efficiency and save the cost.

Claims (5)

1. A method for processing messages in Multimedia Message Service (MMS), comprising:

upon receiving a message from a user side, copying the message, by the MMSC, wherein the number of the messages copied is the same as the number of the receivers of the message;

delivering, by the MMSC, each copied message to the Value Added Service Applications Server, which the corresponding receiver belongs to, via a deliver request;

adding a receiver identifier field in a head of a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) packet which bears the deliver request, and carrying the receiver identifier in the receiver identifier field; and

resolving, by the Value Added Service Applications Server, the received HTTP packet of the deliver request to find out the carried receiver identifier, and further processing the message carried in the deliver request based on the receiver identifier.
