Mobile terminal, heartbeat forwarding server, method and system for sending heartbeat information

Abstract

The invention discloses a mobile terminal, a heartbeat forwarding server and a heartbeat information forwarding method and system. The method comprises the following steps: packaging a uniform heartbeat data packet according to the heartbeat information transmitted by each application program in a previous heartbeat transmission period when each heartbeat transmission period is expired through the mobile terminal, and transmitting the uniform heartbeat data packet to the heartbeat forwarding server through a terminal wireless baseband module; analyzing an identifier of the mobile terminal and the information of each application program from the uniform heartbeat data packet through the heartbeat forwarding server after the uniform heartbeat data packet is received by the heartbeat forwarding server; determining an application program state table corresponding to the analyzed identifier of the mobile terminal, and updating the state of each application program in the application state table according to the analyzed information of each application program; and automatically transmitting the heartbeat information of the application program according to the heartbeat period of the application program for the application program, which stays at an online state, in the application program state table. By adopting the heartbeat information transmitting method, the wireless signal channel resource can be saved, and the energy consumption of the mobile terminal can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the network field, in particular to a mobile terminal, a heartbeat forwarding server, and a method and system for sending heartbeat information. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the intelligence of mobile terminals, there are more and more network service applications that can be used for mobile terminals. In order to indicate online status and update the address of the mobile terminal where these network service applications are located to the application server, each network service application needs to regularly send heartbeat information (or status information) to the application server. For example, a mobile terminal installed with the Tencent QQ application program sends heartbeat information such as QQ online and offline status messages to the QQ application server; a mobile terminal installed with the Weibo application program sends Weibo online and offline status messages to the Weibo applica...

Problems solved by technology

However, when there are many network service applications running on the mobile terminal, the heartbeat information that the mobile terminal needs to send becomes more and more frequent, which causes the mobile terminal to frequently call the terminal wireless baseband module, making the wireless channel occupancy rate higher and higher. The sleep ratio of the terminal (that is, the ratio of sleep time to wake-up time) is getting lower and lower, which eventually leads to serious waste of wireless channel resources and excessive energy consumption of mobile terminals.

[0005] To sum up, the existing methods for sending heartbeat information will cause waste of wireless channel resources and excessive energy consumption of mobile terminals.
