Following state synchronization method and terminal equipment

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of data communication, and discloses a following state synchronization method and terminal equipment. The following state synchronization method comprises steps: the terminal equipment receives a confirmation signal of a following operation of a flowed item, wherein the confirmation signal is returned by a server; the terminal equipment obtains a local record state of the followed item from a local database; the terminal equipment determines whether the local record state and a corresponding state after the execution of the following operation are the same; and if the local record state and the corresponding state after the execution of the following operation are not the same, the terminal equipment modifies the local record state into the corresponding state after the execution of the following operation. The embodiment of the invention also provides terminal equipment. According to the following state synchronization method and the terminal equipment, the condition that the local record state of the followed item is repeatedly modified by the terminal equipment due to uncertain factors such as network delay or transmission errors is avoided, and the resource consumption brought by repeated data processing is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of data communication, and in particular, to a method for synchronizing a state of interest and a terminal device. Background technique [0002] The functions of the current terminal devices are becoming more and more powerful, which is due to the continuous emergence of application software with various functions, so that users can conveniently perform various activities such as entertainment, transactions, and inquiries on the terminal devices. [0003] Most application software needs to apply for a personal account to uniquely identify the user in use. In practical applications, it may be for cost saving (some application software needs to be paid according to the account number), or for some convenience (for example, a family may only use one payment account number to facilitate overall statistics and repayment) , it is possible that two or more users share an account. When di...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventor found that the prior art has the following defects: Since another terminal that has not sent the request does not perform the attention operation itself, it simply receives the confirmation signal of the attention operation and directly modifies the local record of the attention item state

In reality, due to uncertain factors such as network delays or transmission errors, it may not be possible to receive confirmation signals for each concerned operation in time; The following operations do not occur consecutively) or the confirmation signal of a certain attention operation is missed. At this time, the local record status of the attention item will be repeatedly modified inside the terminal (some modifications may be unnecessary), resulting in unnecessary resource consumption.
