Method of setting heartbeat timer, terminal and server

Abstract

The invention provides a method of setting a heartbeat timer, a terminal and a server. The method comprises the following steps that: the terminal provided with an application receives a timer setting request transmitted by the application, and the timer setting request carries first setting information of a timer to be set; the terminal transmits a timer inquiry request to the server according to the first setting information; the timer inquiry request carries an inquiry identifier generated according to the first setting information; the terminal receives the timer inquiry response returned by the server, and the timer inquiry response carries an inquiry result for inquiring whether a list of the heartbeat timer includes an information entry of the heartbeat timer, which is matched with the inquiry identifier; and the terminal determines whether the timer to be set is arranged for the application according to the inquiry result, and the corresponding setting operation is executed. According to the scheme, the technical problem of incapability of effectively managing and setting the heartbeat timer in the terminal of a mobile phone in the prior art is effectively solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a method for setting a heartbeat timer, a terminal and a server. Background technique [0002] In the existing mobile Internet, many applications need to stay online for a long time. This requires the application in the mobile terminal to continuously detect the network connection even when there is no data transmission, and send heartbeat information to the corresponding application server to keep online through the regular heartbeat reminder of the timer set in the terminal state. However, the current heartbeat mechanism is also being abused. For example, some applications will use the heartbeat mechanism to complete real-time content updates (such as news, forum applications), but users may not really need these updates; The connection between the terminal and the server is maintained by setting the heartbeat, and this information may be irrelevant or even disgusting ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The present invention provides a heartbeat timer setting method, a terminal and a server, which are used to solve the problem that in the prior art, the heartbeat timer in the mobile phone terminal cannot be effectively managed and set, and furthermore, unnecessary heartbeat settings cannot be reduced or avoided. After the timer expires, technical problems such as increased power consumption of the mobile phone caused by sending these heartbeat information to the network side; excessive mobile phone memory is occupied and waste of data traffic generated by the terminal sending heartbeat information, etc.
