Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for switching service process and a media server, wherein the method for switching the service process comprises: after a first service process performed together with a facsimile terminal is completed, and when a message, which is sent by an application server and which indicates to carry out a second service process, is received by a media server, the media server switching from the first service process to the second service process; and the facsimile terminal switching from the first service process to the second service process. Therefore, the switching of the facsimile is not limited by the switching control requirements of the media gateway, which is favorable for flexible expansion and interconnection of the facsimile services.

A method for switching service process, comprising:
- a media server switching from a first service process to a second service process, after the first service process performed together with a facsimile terminal is completed, and when a message, which is sent by an application server and which indicates to perform a second service process, is received by a media server;
- and
- the facsimile terminal switching from the first service process to the second service process;
- wherein the step of the facsimile terminal switching from the first service process to the second service process comprises:
- the media server informing, according to the received message, the facsimile terminal to switch from the first service process to the second service process;
- and
- the facsimile terminal switching to a channel corresponding to the second service process;
- wherein the first service process is an audible speech service process, and the second service process is a facsimile service process;
- or the first service process is the facsimile service process, and the second service process is the audible speech service process.
A media server, comprising:
- a receiving module, configured to receive, after a first service process performed together with a facsimile terminal is completed, a message which is sent from an application server and which indicates to perform a second service process;
- and
- a switching module, configured to switch to a channel corresponding to the second service process according to the message received by the receiving module;
- an informing module, configured to inform the facsimile terminal to switch to the channel corresponding to the second service process;
- wherein the first service process is an audible speech service process, and the second service process is a facsimile service process;
- or the first service process is the facsimile service process, and the second service process is the audible speech service process.
