Abstract:
1. A client receiving apparatus for processing a Multimedia Message Service (MMS) message sent by an application, comprising: a short message sender/receiver for receiving a received MMS; an MMS parser for determining whether the received MMS is an incremental MMS or an ordinary MMS, by determining whether a body of the received MMS includes a dynamic data section of the incremental MMS containing dynamic data comprising only a changed part from an original ordinary MMS, a static data indicator associated with the incremental MMS, and a link tag between non-changed static data from the original ordinary MMS and the dynamic data, wherein the link tag describes how to merge the dynamic data of the incremental MMS and the static data indicated by the static data indicator into a new ordinary MMS; an acquiring unit for acquiring the non-changed static data from a previously-received and stored ordinary MMS as indicated by the static data indicator; and a message merger for merging the dynamic data of the incremental MMS into the stored ordinary MMS according to the link tag, wherein the message merger comprises a link merger for merging the dynamic data from the incremental MMS with the acquired non-changed static data of the stored ordinary MMS to replace part of the stored ordinary MMS according to the dynamic data, the static data and the link tag, and to thereby generate the new ordinary MMS.
