Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system for maintaining the continuity of instant message services, which are used to solve the technical problem that the instant message client is disconnected when the network is temporarily interrupted or the network is switched. The present invention judges whether the network connection between the instant message client and the instant message server is temporarily interrupted through keep-alive messages, caches service-related information when temporarily interrupted, and reuses the cached service-related information when the network connection returns to normal; When the network is switched, the service-related information is cached. After the access network is switched successfully, the instant messaging client sends a request message carrying the unique identification information of the instant messaging client to the instant messaging server. If the instant messaging server determines that the instant messaging client is logged in , then the service-related information of the instant message client is reused to continue the subsequent communication with the client. The invention can reduce the influence of temporary network interruption or access network switching on the continuity of instant message service.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of IM (Instant Messaging, instant message) based on wireless network, in particular to a method and system for maintaining continuity of instant message service on a dual-mode or multi-mode wireless network terminal. Background technique

[0002] The instant message service is an Internet service that can provide real-time character, voice or video chat for Internet users. With the advancement of mobile communication technology and the development of mobile terminals, IM services are extending from PCs to mobile terminals in various technical ways. The portability and mobility of mobile phones ensure that IM applications can be online around the clock. IM has become an important part of network life. Sometimes, when a user uses the IM service in a mobile situation, a temporary interruption of the mobile network signal often occurs (for example, the user passes through an isolation door), that is, fo...

Embodiment Construction

[0042] The basic idea of ​​the present invention is to judge whether the network connection is temporarily interrupted through the keep-alive message between the instant message client and the instant message server, and maintain the normal use of the instant message client interface when the network connection is temporarily interrupted, and cache the information sent by the user. Instant message, the instant message server also caches the instant message sent to the instant message client, and when the network connection returns to normal, reuse the service-related information of the instant message client and resend the cached instant message; when performing access network switching, the instant message client The terminal and the instant message server cache the current service-related information and the instant message to be sent respectively. After the access network switching is completed, the instant message server judges according to the request message carrying the u...
