Application server and advantages of the treatment of a message intended for a public identity shared by a plurality devices

摘要

The invention relates to a method for processing a message (MOPT) originating from an emitter device (D1) and intended for a public identity (IMPU2) managed by a network core (CN2) and shared by a plurality of devices (D2-1,...,D2-N), said message being a main message for discovering the capabilities and a state of a device sharing the public identity. The method is carried out by an application server (2) of the network core, triggered upstream of a replication function (FORK) implemented by a registration server (3) and adapted to replicate messages intended for the public identity and to transmit the replicated messages to the plurality of devices. When multiple devices sharing the public identity are registered in the network core, the method comprises: sending a secondary message (MOPT1, MOPT2,..., MOPTR) for discovering the capabilities and a state of a device to at least one registered device (D2-1,...,D2-R); preparing a response (RESP) to the main message on the basis of at least one response to a secondary message (RESP1, RESP2,..., RESPR) received in a pre-determined period of time.; and sending the prepared response to the emitter device.
