Heartbeat keep-alive method and apparatus for long connection in communication network

Abstract

The invention provides a heartbeat keep-alive method for a long connection in a communication network and a heartbeat keep-alive apparatus for the long connection in the communication network. The method comprises the steps of: determining a current network type; according to the current network type, sending a heartbeat packet to a server in accordance with a corresponding default sending period; counting continuous failure times or continuous success times of sending the heartbeat packet to the serve; judging whether the continuous failure times are greater than or equal to first preset times, or judging whether the continuous success times are greater than or equal to second preset times; and according to a judgment result, regulating the default sending period corresponding to the current network type so as to send the heartbeat packet to the server in accordance with the regulated sending period. According to the technical scheme, the sending period of sending the heartbeat packet to the server can be effectively prolonged, and by analyzing a user behavior, a timing starting point of one sending period of the heartbeat packet is regulated, thereby reducing working time of a heartbeat to the greatest extent and saving an electric quantity and flow.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a heartbeat keep-alive method for long connections in a communication network and a heartbeat keep-alive device for long connections in the communication network. Background technique [0002] At present, with the development of the mobile Internet and the change of the way people socialize, mobile APPs (Applications), enterprise applications, mobile games, and WEB (Internet) applications are slowly beginning to embed instant messaging functions, making Real-time communication, collaboration and sharing between people and people, people and enterprises, and enterprises and enterprises can be done anytime and anywhere. However, most of the gateways of mobile network operators will eliminate the corresponding items in the NAT (NetworkAddressTranslation, Network Address Translation) table when the communication link does not perform data communication for a period of time,...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] (1) The network environment where the user is located is complex and cannot efficiently maintain long connections

[0004] (2) The user's usage time and habits are also random, and it is impossible to maintain long connections efficiently

[0005] (3) The resource constraints of each end are different, and the most efficient energy use cannot be achieved
