Abstract

Disclosed is an SIP based message service. If a message service server receives a quick answer addition request from a user terminal, the server detects a quick answer text and a quick answer ID, assigned corresponding to the quick answer text, in the quick answer addition request, and stores the detected quick answer text and quick answer ID in a quick answer list corresponding to the user terminal's user, thereby implementing quick answer addition. Further, if the message service server receives a quick answer sending request from the user terminal, the server detects a quick answer text, corresponding to a user ID contained in the quick answer sending request, in the quick answer list, configures a message containing the detected quick answer text, and sends the configured message to a recipient user terminal, thereby implementing quick answer sending.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for providing a quick answer service in a message service server, the method comprising:
receiving, by the message service server, from a sending user terminal, a request message, which requests sending of a quick answer service message to a recipient user terminal;
obtaining a first quick answer text corresponding to a first quick answer ID included in the request message, wherein the first quick answer text is stored in a quick answer list corresponding to a user ID of the sending user terminal;
generating the quick answer service message including the first quick answer text;
sending the quick answer service message to the recipient user terminal; and
if a quick answer synchronization request message is received from the sending user terminal, sending the quick answer list to the sending user terminal,
wherein the quick answer synchronization request message includes at least one of:
tag information indicating the quick answer service message, type information indicating that contents related to the quick answer service are included therein, and a schema field which includes an operation type associated with synchronization of the quick answer list; and
an event package indicating the quick answer service message and a quick answer document which is identified by the type information.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a quick answer deletion request message from the sending user terminal;
detecting a second quick answer ID in the quick answer deletion request message; and
deleting the second quick answer ID and a second quick answer text corresponding to the second quick answer ID from the quick answer list.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the quick answer deletion request message is one of a MESSAGE, a SUBSCRIBE, and an XCAP PUT.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein:
the tag information is a feature tag, and the type information is a MIME type;
the MESSAGE includes the feature tag indicating the quick answer service message, the MIME type indicating that contents related to the quick answer service are included therein, and a schema field which is defined by the MIME type and includes an operation type set to “Delete” and the second quick answer ID corresponding to the second quick answer text to be deleted;
the SUBSCRIBE includes an event package indicating the quick answer service message and a quick answer document which is identified by the MIME type and includes all quick answer IDs stored in the user terminal, except the second quick answer ID corresponding to the second quick answer text to be deleted; and
the XCAP PUT includes a quick answer document which is identified by the MIME type and includes all quick answer IDs stored in the user terminal, except the second quick answer ID corresponding to the second quick answer text to be deleted.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request message is a MESSAGE or a MSRP SEND.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein,
the request message includes an operation type set to “Send” and the first quick answer ID corresponding to the first quick answer text to be sent.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the quick answer synchronization request message is one of a MESSAGE, a MSRP SEND, and a SUBSCRIBE.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein:
the tag information is a feature tag, and the type information is a MIME type;
the MESSAGE or the MSRP SEND includes the feature tag indicating the quick answer service message, the MIME type indicating that contents related to the quick answer service are included therein, and a schema field which is defined by the MIME type and includes an operation type set to “Synchronize”; and
the SUBSCRIBE includes an event package indicating the quick answer service message and a quick answer document which is identified by the MIME type.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a quick answer addition request message from the sending user terminal;
detecting a third quick answer ID in the quick answer addition request message, wherein the quick answer addition request message includes a third quick answer text and the third quick answer ID corresponding to the third quick answer text; and
storing the third quick answer text and the third quick answer ID received from the user terminal in the quick answer list.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the quick answer addition request message is one of a MESSAGE, a PUBLISH, and an XCAP PUT.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein:
the tag information is a feature tag, and the type information is a MIME type; the MESSAGE includes the feature tag indicating the quick answer service message, the MIME type indicating that contents related to the quick answer service are included therein, and a schema field which is defined by the MIME type and includes an operation type set to “Add” and includes a third quick answer ID and a third quick answer text; and
the PUBLISH includes an event package indicating the quick answer service message, and a quick answer document which is identified by the MIME type indicating that the contents related to the quick answer service are included therein, and includes the third quick answer ID and the third quick answer text.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein storing the third quick answer text and the third quick answer ID comprises:
checking whether or not the quick answer list corresponding to a user of the sending user terminal exists;
detecting the quick answer list if the quick answer list exists, or creating a new quick answer list corresponding to the user if the quick answer list does not exist; and
storing the third quick answer ID and the third quick answer text, included in a MESSAGE, in the quick answer list or the new quick answer list.

13. A method for providing a quick answer service by a user terminal, the method comprising:
composing, by the user terminal, a quick answer text, which comprises content of a quick answer, according to user inputs;
generating, by the user terminal, a quick answer ID corresponding to the quick answer text;
storing, by the user terminal, the quick answer ID and the quick answer text;
sending, from the user terminal, to a message service server, a quick answer addition request message including the quick answer ID and the quick answer text so that the quick answer ID and the quick answer text are stored in a quick answer list corresponding to a user ID of the user terminal in the message service server; and
sending, from the user terminal, to the message service server, a request message, which requests sending of a quick answer service message to a recipient user terminal; and
sending a quick answer synchronization request message to the message service server, and receiving the quick answer list from the message service server,
wherein the quick answer synchronization request message includes at least one of:
