Heartbeat timer setting method, terminal and server

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for setting a heartbeat timer, a terminal and a server. The method includes: a terminal installed with an application receives a timer setting request carrying first setting information of a to-be-set timer transmitted by the application; the terminal transmits a timer query request to a server according to the first setting information; the timer query request carries a query identifier generated according to the first setting information; the terminal receives a timer query response returned by the server, where the timer query response carries a query result indicating whether a heartbeat timer list includes a heartbeat timer information entry matched with the query identifier; the terminal determines whether to set the to-be-set timer for the application according to the query result, and performs a corresponding setting operation. The solution can effectively manage and set a heartbeat timer within a mobile phone terminal.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and 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 check the network connection even when there is no data transmission, and send heartbeat information to the corresponding application server to keep online through the timing heartbeat reminder of the timer set in the terminal status. However, the current heartbeat mechanism is also abused. For example, some applications will use the heartbeat mechanism to complete real-time content updates (such as news and forum applications), but users may not really need these updated content; and some applications also provide users with information such as advertisements. The connection between the terminal and the server is m...

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.
