An IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is a Subsystem supporting IP Multimedia services proposed by 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project), is a development direction of Multimedia communication, and as an application Subsystem in the 4G era, can well satisfy communication between people in the 4G era, and is significantly characterized in that an SIP (Session initiation Protocol) system is adopted, and the communication is independent of an access method, and has various capabilities of separating a control function and a carrying capability of various Multimedia services, separating a call and a Session, separating an application and a service, separating a service and a network, and fusing a mobile network and an internet service.

In 5G and 6G networks, more and more device applications are introduced, and data that needs to be interacted is more and more abundant, for example, pictures, videos, and the like can be transmitted, and an existing IMS service setting mode has a certain defect, although an existing UT interface (an interface between an application server and a terminal) can transmit rich media information, a GBA (universal authentication mechanism) authentication (HTTP) flow needs to be used, which puts extra requirements on the terminal and a third-party application, and the third-party application needs to support the GBA authentication flow and needs to be docked with an existing BSF (binding support function), which increases difficulty of service deployment and reduces IMS service setting efficiency.

Aiming at the problem of low IMS service setting efficiency caused by the fact that the UT interface needs additional HTTP authentication, no effective solution is provided at present.

Fig. 9 is a block diagram of a service setting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 9, the apparatus includes:

a calling unit 902, configured to initiate a call request to an internet multimedia subsystem IMS based on a session initiation protocol SIP in response to a service setting operation, so that the IMS sends the call request to an application guidance server; the call request carries application setting information, and the application setting information is used for enabling the application guide server to determine an application set and a setting interface of the application set;

a receiving unit 904, configured to receive the setting interface list sent by the application bootstrap server through a transparent data channel created by the IMS;

a setting unit 906, configured to select a target application from the application set based on the setting interface list to perform service setting.

According to the invention, as a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) -based call request is initiated to an Internet Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), the IMS sends the call request to an application guide server; the call request carries application setting information, and the application setting information is used for enabling the application guide server to determine a target application and a setting interface of the target application; the UE carries out service setting on the target application based on the setting interface; since the terminal needs to register before initiating the call and is already authenticated by the SIP during the registration, the IMS call is utilized to solve the authentication problem without using an additional HTTP authentication process. Therefore, the problem of low IMS service setting efficiency caused by the fact that extra HTTP authentication is needed by the UT interface is solved, and the effects of improving the IMS service setting efficiency and reducing the service deployment difficulty are achieved; in the application, the application access only needs to be configured in the application guide server, and other network nodes do not need to analyze specific service setting signaling, so that the difficulty of new application deployment is greatly reduced.
