Method and device for receiving pushed messages for mobile terminal and mobile terminal

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a device for receiving pushed messages from a network push server by a mobile terminal. The method comprises that a TCP connection is established between the mobile terminal and the network push server; the whole system of the mobile terminal comes into a dormant state if the mobile terminal does not receive the message pushed by the network push server in a predetermined period of time; a module on which the TCP connection relies in the mobile terminal is woke up by a predetermined time interval after the whole system of the mobile terminal comes into the dormant state; the TCP connection is disconnected or reestablished initiatively through the module on which the TCP connection relies in the mobile terminal; the module on which the TCP connection relies comes into the dormant state again; the message pushed by the network push server is received through the TCP connection; and the whole system of the mobile terminal is woke up. According to the invention, only the module on which the TCP connection relies in the mobile terminal is required to be woke up but not other modules in the process of maintaining the TCP connection, thereby reducing the power consumption, and being capable of ensuring the real-time performance of data pushing at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile terminals, in particular to a method and device for receiving push messages from a network push server for a mobile terminal and a mobile terminal having the same. Background technique [0002] Most of the data push solutions of existing mobile device systems are based on persistent connection technology, such as APNS of AppleiOS, C2DM of Google Ardroid, WeChat of Tencent, etc. However, due to the characteristics of the mobile communication network, it is difficult to maintain an idle connection without data transmission. Therefore, in order to prevent the connection from being recycled by the operator or firewall, the mobile terminal needs to periodically send small data packets to the remote server to maintain the connection. However, this method requires the mobile terminal to wait for the server to return a response to determine whether the connection really exists. Receiving a respons...

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the characteristics of the mobile communication network, it is difficult to maintain an idle connection without data transmission.

Therefore, in order to prevent the connection from being recycled by the operator or firewall, the mobile terminal needs to periodically send small data packets to the remote server to maintain the connection. However, this method requires the mobile terminal to wait for the server to return a response to determine whether the connection really exists. Receiving a response from the server will wake up the system once. When the system is woken up, the system will wake up all the software and hardware modules. These software and hardware modules do not play a role in maintaining the connection, but waste a lot of power.

[0003] For the above problems, there are generally two existing solutions: one is to implement data push at the application layer, and at the same time increase the wake-up time interval in order to save power. The problem with this method is that the wake-up time interval is longer. The real-time performance of data push cannot be guaranteed; the other is not to perform periodic wake-up, and the push data is only obtained when the user or other applications wake up the system. The problem with this method is that it is more difficult to guarantee the real-time performance of data push.
