Push method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a push method and device. The method comprises the following steps that: a server establishes corresponding connections with various types of clients respectively, and maintains established connections with a heartbeat mechanism, wherein different connection systems are adopted during establishment of various types of clients with the server; the server determines connection systems adopted during establishment of connections between clients to be pushed corresponding to a push message to be sent and the server when the existence of the push message is determined; and the server sends the push message to corresponding clients to be pushed based on the connections corresponding to the determined connection systems. Thus, connections between the server and various types of clients can be established through different connection systems, and the connections are maintained through the heartbeat mechanism, so that reception of a large quantity of unnecessary responsemessages for maintaining the connections is avoided; system resources and network resources are saved; the efficiency is increased; cross-platform pushing can be performed; and convenience is broughtto a service provider.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular to a push method and device. Background technique [0002] With the development of Internet technology, in order to reduce the time for users to search for information, push technology came into being. The so-called push technology refers to the technology that regularly sends the information needed by the user to the user terminal through certain technical standards or protocols. The push technology can regularly send corresponding information to the user terminal according to the user's interests, helping users to efficiently mine valuable information. [0003] Under the existing technology, after the client and the server are connected, if there is no information interaction for a long time, the client and the server will be disconnected. Therefore, the push technology uses polling to ensure the connection between the server and the client. , and the intera...

[0004] However, in this way, the client needs to continuously send HTTP requests to the server, but the relevant response information in the server may not be updated, so that the client continues to receive unnecessary information, and the data contained in the sent HTTP message The amount is large, taking up a lot of bandwidth, and each poll requires three information exchanges between the client and the server through HTTP messages, wasting a lot of network resources and time resources

[0005] Obviously, this requires the client to continuously send HTTP requests, and will receive a large number of unnecessary response messages, thus occupying a large amount of bandwidth, resulting in a waste of a large amount of system resources, network resources, and time resources
