Content disposition system and method for processing message content in a distributed environment
In one embodiment, a wireless mobile User Equipment (UE) device comprises a message generator configured to send a SIP request message via a first IP network and a processor configured to process a SIP response message received from a network node via the first IP network, the processor further configured to process instructions to provide a treatment for at least one message body content of the SIP response message based on a value of a content type indicator independent of at least one of an absence of a content disposition indicator, a content disposition indicator without a value and a content disposition indicator having a value. The treatment, applied by the UE device, may comprise one of: (i) performing an Emergency Services (ES) call effectuated via a CS network and (ii) performing a registration and an ES call effectuated via an IP network.
1. A method, comprising:
sending, by a User Equipment (UE) device, a request message via a first Internet Protocol (IP) network;
in response to sending said request message, receiving, at said UE device, a response message from a network node via said first IP network, the response message including a content type indicator, a content disposition indicator, and at least one message body content; and
in response to receiving the response message, providing a treatment for said at least one message body content based on a value of said content type indicator by overriding a default treatment specified by said content disposition indicator wherein the treatment comprises at least one of: (i) performing an Emergency Services (ES) call effectuated via a circuit-switched network or (ii) performing a registration and an ES call effectuated via an IP network, wherein the registration involves sending a REGISTER message.
2. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein said response message comprises at least one directive.
3. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein said response message comprises an Extensible Markup Language (XML) document.
4. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein said content type indicator indicates an XML media type or an XML-Based Media Type.
5. The method as recited in claim 4 , wherein said XML media type or said XML-Based Media Type is defined by an XML schema.
6. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein said content disposition indicator is provided in a Content-Disposition header field.
7. The method as recited in claim 6 , wherein said content type indicator is provided in a Content-Type header field.
8. The method as recited in claim 7 , wherein each of said Content-Disposition header field and said Content-Type header field takes on a value comprising textual information.
9. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein said IP network comprises a second IP network.
10. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein said treatment comprises providing an indication to a user.
11. A User Equipment (UE) device comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the processor, the programming instructions instruct the one or more processors to:
send, by said UE device, a request message via a first Internet Protocol (IP) network;
in response to sending said request message, receive, at said UE device, a response message from a network node via said first IP network, the response message including a content type indicator, a content disposition indicator, and at least one message body content; and
in response to receiving the response message, provide a treatment for said at least one message body content based on a value of said content type indicator by overriding a default treatment specified by said content disposition indicator wherein the treatment comprises at least one of: (i) performing an Emergency Services (ES) call effectuated via a circuit-switched network or (ii) performing a registration and an ES call effectuated via an IP network, wherein the registration involves sending a REGISTER message.
12. The UE device as recited in claim 11 , wherein said response message comprises at least one directive.
13. The UE device as recited in claim 11 , wherein said response message comprises an Extensible Markup Language (XML) document.
14. The UE device as recited in claim 11 , wherein said content type indicator indicates an XML media type or an XML-Based Media Type.
15. The UE device as recited in claim 14 , wherein said XML media type or said XML-Based Media Type is defined by an XML schema.
16. The UE device as recited in claim 11 , wherein said content disposition indicator is provided in a Content-Disposition header field.
17. The UE device as recited in claim 16 , wherein said content type indicator is provided in a Content-Type header field.
18. The UE device as recited in claim 17 , wherein each of said Content-Disposition header field and said Content-Type header field takes on a value comprising textual information.
19. The UE device as recited in claim 11 , wherein said IP network comprises a second IP network.
20. The UE device as recited in claim 11 , wherein said treatment comprises providing an indication to a user.
21. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions to cause a processor to perform operations comprising:
sending, by a User Equipment (UE) device, a request message via a first Internet Protocol (IP) network;
in response to sending said request message, receiving, at said UE device, a response message from a network node via said first IP network, the response message including a content type indicator, a content disposition indicator, and at least one message body content; and
in response to receiving the response message, providing a treatment for said at least one message body content based on a value of said content type indicator by overriding a default treatment specified by said content disposition indicator wherein the treatment comprises at least one of: (i) performing an Emergency Services (ES) call effectuated via a circuit-switched network or (ii) performing a registration and an ES call effectuated via an IP network, wherein the registration involves sending a REGISTER message.
