Abstract: An information processing method includes receiving first request information entered by a user, determining a first task engine for the first request information, where a first slot is set in the first task engine, extracting key information from the first request information based on the first slot, and if the key information fails to be extracted from the first request information based on the first slot, or if the key information is extracted from the first request information based on the first slot, but the extracted key information does not meet a condition, obtaining target key information from a shared parameter list of the user.

Abstract: A communication method comprises that if a policy control device does not support setup of an Internet Protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) default bearer during setup of an IMS default bearer for a terminal, the control plane gateway sends second indication information to a user plane gateway, where the second indication information indicates the control plane gateway bypasses the policy control device. When the user plane gateway receives an IMS session request from the terminal and determines that the control plane gateway bypasses the policy control device, the user plane gateway sends first indication information to the control plane gateway, and the first indication information indicates the control plane gateway to send, to the policy control device, a first request to request to establish a mapping relationship between the terminal and the control plane gateway such that an IMS session can be set up between terminals.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of serving media includes receiving a request to serve a cacheable media content to a user equipment at a second media server deployed in a second layer2 access network. The request is received around when the user equipment is handed-off from a first layer2 node in a first layer2 access network to a second layer2 node in the second layer2 access network and when a streaming session of the cacheable media content to the user equipment from a first media server is terminated. The method further includes determining if the cacheable media content is stored in a cache of the second media server, and serving the cacheable media content from the cache of the second media server to the user equipment if the media content is stored in the cache of the second media server.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a data packet processing apparatus located in a value-added-service (VAS) network. A transceiver module of the data packet processing apparatus receives a first data packet; a processing module determines, according to a load status of each VAS instance corresponding to each VAS type in a service chain that the first data packet is to go through, a service path that the first data packet is to go through the transceiver module sends the first data packet carrying a service path identifier to a data packet routing apparatus in the network, to instruct the data packet routing apparatus to route the first data packet according to the service path identified by the service path identifier. Load on each VAS instance is considered to avoid that load on devices in a same VAS type is uneven.
