Method and system for implementing on-line user searching

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and system for searching for online users. A storage unit is set for an SP, and adapted to store the basic information and status information of users. Thus, after receiving an online user search request that carries search conditions from an XDMC, the SP can determine online users meeting the search conditions according to the basic information and status information of users in the storage unit, and send search results that carry the basic information of the online users to the XDMC. The storage unit may be set for the SP or shared by the SP and the XDMS. Because the storage unit set for the SP stores the basic information and status information of users, the SP does not need to interact with the PS to obtain the status information of users and or interact with the XDMS to obtain the basic information of users after receiving an online user search request from the XDMC. This greatly reduces the frequency of communications between communication entities and the communication burden of each communication entity, and increases the response speed of the XDMC.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of data communication, in particular to a method and system for realizing online user search. Background technique [0002] The Open Mobile Alliance (Open Mobile Alliance, OMA) proposed the Search Proxy (SP) in the specification of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Document Management Server (XDMS), but it is simply given definition and function. It is proposed in the specification that SP mainly completes the function of document search, and the following functions need to be completed in terms of implementation: receiving the search request from the XML Document Management Client (XDMC); parsing the search request and sending it to the local or other network XDMS forwards the search request; collects all XDMS response messages, and sends them to XDMC after combined filtering. The XDMC may be a client with an XML document management function such as a user equipment (User Equipment, UE). [0003] The SP can not...

Problems solved by technology

[0031] According to the above description, in addition to the shortcomings of each scheme, in each implementation scheme, for each online user search request from XDMC, the SP needs to exchange information with XDMS or PS, which greatly increases the communication between functional entities in the system Burden; in the case of being unable to converge the online user search requests of XDMC, the communication between functional entities for information interaction is more frequent, and the impact on each functional entity is unbearable

[0032] In addition, Scheme 2 and Scheme 3 are only applicable to the situation where the number of users is relatively small, and the amount of data interacted between functional entities cannot be too large. However, in practical applications, the number of users will be very large, making the amount of data in search results also very large , resulting in a large amount of data transmission between the SP and XDMS or PS, the SP needs to process a large amount of data, and the speed of responding to XDMC cannot be guaranteed.
