MODE FOR THE INVENTION
In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof. In the drawings, similar symbols typically identify similar components, unless context dictates otherwise. The illustrative embodiments described in the detailed description, drawings, and claims are not meant to be limiting. Other embodiments may be utilized, and other changes may be made, without departing from the spirit or scope of the subject matter presented herein. It will be readily understood that the aspects of the present disclosure, as generally described herein, and illustrated in the drawings, can be arranged, substituted, combined, separated, and designed in a wide variety of different configurations, all of which are explicitly contemplated herein.
This disclosure is generally drawn, inter alia, to methods, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products related to a push management scheme for a mobile operating server.
Technologies are generally described for letting the mobile operating server receive from a mobile device a request for generating one or more keep-alive messages, generate the keep-alive messages, and transmit the keep-alive messages periodically to a push server on behalf of the mobile device. The keep-alive messages may inform the push server that the mobile device is available for receiving data from the push server.
In some examples, the mobile device may send the request with information on the push server, which may be a destination of the keep-alive messages, and/or a keep-alive message interval for transmitting the keep-alive messages. The mobile operating server may then transmit the keep-alive messages to the destination push server at the keep-alive message interval.
In some examples, the mobile device may send the request with an identifier of the mobile device. The mobile operating server may then generate the keep-alive messages with setting an originator of the keep-alive messages as the mobile device based at least in part on the identifier of the mobile device.
In some examples, the mobile operating server may receive push data from the destination push server, and transmit to the mobile device the received push data.
In some examples, the mobile operating server may perform a device status confirmation process for the mobile device, and stop the transmitting of the keep-alive messages when the mobile device is not confirmed.
FIG. 1 schematically shows an illustrative example of an environment in which a push service may be provided to a mobile device, arranged in accordance with at least some embodiments described herein.
As depicted in FIG. 1, a mobile operating server 100 may provide a mobile device 110 a mobile telecommunications service such as, for example, third generation (3G) and/or fourth generation (4G) mobile telecommunications service. Mobile device 110 may transmit/receive data to/from mobile operating server 100. Examples of mobile device 110 may include, but are not limited to, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet, a mobile game console, a laptop, and any other devices having communications capabilities.
In some embodiments, when mobile device 110 requests to be provided with or subscribes a push service, an application server 120, i.e., a push initiator, may provide push data to mobile device 110 via a push server 130. In some embodiments, application server 120 may transmit the push data to push server 130, and push server 130 may transmit or relay the received push data to mobile device 110 through a network provided by mobile operating server 100.
In some embodiments, mobile device 110 may transmit to mobile operating server 100 a request for generating one or more keep-alive messages. In some embodiments, the request may include information on push server 130, which may be a destination of the keep-alive messages. Then, in some embodiments, mobile operating server 100 may generate the keep-alive messages and transmit them to push server 130.
In some embodiments, mobile operating server 100 may transmit the keep-alive messages periodically to push server 130. In some embodiments, mobile operating server 100 may determine a period to transmit the keep-alive messages based at least in part on the request from mobile device 110. In some embodiments, the request may include a keep-alive message interval for transmitting the keep-alive messages, and mobile operating server 100 may determine the period to transmit the keep-alive messages as the keep-alive message interval. In some embodiments, the keep-alive message interval may vary depending on at least one of an application run by mobile device 110 and a type of push data provided by push server 130.
In some embodiments, mobile operating server 100 may set an originator of the keep-alive messages as mobile device 110, instead of mobile operating server 100 itself. In some embodiments, the request may include an identifier of mobile device 110, and mobile operating server 100 may set the originator of the keep-alive messages based at least in part on the identifier of mobile device 110. In such cases, push server 130 may not need to change a destination of the push data from mobile device 110 to mobile operating server 100.
In some embodiments, mobile operating server 100 may perform a device status confirmation process for mobile device 110. When mobile device 110 is not confirmed due to, for example, power-off of mobile device 110, mobile operating server 100 may stop transmitting the keep-alive messages to push server 130. In some embodiments, mobile operating server 100 may perform the device status confirmation process periodically. In some embodiments, a period of performing the device status confirmation process may be identical to the keep-alive message interval.
FIG. 2 schematically shows an illustrative process flow employed for providing a push management scheme for a mobile operating server, arranged in accordance with at least some embodiments described herein.
As depicted in FIG. 2, mobile device 110 may transmit to mobile operating server 100 a request 210 for generating one or more keep-alive messages 220. In some embodiments, request 210 may include information on push server 130 as a destination of keep-alive messages 220 and/or a keep-alive message interval 230 for transmitting keep-alive messages 220. Then, in some embodiments, mobile operating server 100 may transmit keep-alive messages 220 to push server 130 at keep-alive message interval 230.
In some embodiments, when push server 130 has push data 240 to send to mobile device 110, push server 130 may transmit push data 240 to mobile operating server 100, and mobile operating server 100 may transmit or relay push data 240 to mobile device 110.
FIG. 3 shows a schematic block diagram illustrating an example architecture of a push management system for providing a push management scheme for a mobile operating server, arranged in accordance with at least some embodiments described herein.
As depicted, a push management system 300, which may be a component of a mobile operating server (e.g., mobile operating server 100) or be separate from but still controlled by the mobile operating server, may include a receiver 310, a keep-alive message generator 320, and a transmitter 330. Although illustrated as discrete components, various components may be divided into additional components, combined into fewer components, or eliminated altogether while being contemplated within the scope of the disclosed subject matter.
Receiver 310 may be configured to receive a request (e.g., request 210) for generating one or more keep-alive messages (e.g., keep-alive messages 220) from a mobile device (e.g., mobile device 110). In some embodiments, the request may include information on a destination push server (e.g., push server 130). In some embodiments, the request may further include an identifier of the mobile device sending the request. In some embodiments, the request may further include a keep-alive message interval (e.g., keep-alive message interval 230) for transmitting the keep-alive messages.
Keep-alive message generator 320 may be configured to generate the keep-alive messages based at least in part on the request received by receiver 310. In some embodiments, keep-alive message generator 320 may generate the keep-alive messages with setting an originator of the keep-alive messages as the mobile device based at least in part on the identifier of the mobile device contained in the request.
Transmitter 330 may be configured to transmit to the destination push server the keep-alive messages generated by keep-alive message generator 320. In some embodiments, transmitter 330 may transmit the keep-alive messages to the destination push server periodically, for example, at keep-alive message interval contained in the request. In some embodiments, transmitter 330 may stop transmitting the keep-alive messages when the mobile device is not connected to a network provided by the mobile operating server.
In some embodiments, receiver 310 may further configured to receive push data from the destination push server, and transmitter 330 may further configured to transmit to the mobile device the push data received by receiver 310.
By employing push management system 300 as shown in FIG. 3, it may be possible to save network resources provided by the mobile operating server and/or reduce power consumption of the mobile device.
FIG. 4 shows an example flow diagram of a process for providing a push management scheme for a mobile operating server, arranged in accordance with at least some embodiments described herein.
The process in FIG. 4 may be implemented in a mobile operating server, such as mobile operating server 100, or a push management system, such as push management system 300 including receiver 310, keep-alive message generator 320 and transmitter 330 described above. An example process 400 may include one or more operations, actions, or functions as illustrated by one or more blocks 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470 and/or 480. Although illustrated as discrete blocks, various blocks may be divided into additional blocks, combined into fewer blocks, or eliminated, depending on the desired implementation. Processing may begin at block 410.
At block 410, the mobile operating server or the push management system may wait for a request (e.g., request 210) for generating a keep-alive message from a mobile device (e.g., mobile device 110). Processing may continue to block 420.
At block 420, the mobile operating server or the push management system may determine whether it has received the request or not. If the mobile operating server or the push management system determines that it has received the request, processing may continue to block 430. Otherwise, processing may continue back to block 410.
At block 430, the mobile operating server or the push management system may generate the keep-alive message (e.g., keep-alive message 220). In some embodiments, the mobile operating server or the push management system may generate the keep-alive message with setting an originator of the keep-alive message as the mobile device, based at least in part on an identifier of the mobile device which may be contained in the request. Processing may continue to block 440.
At block 440, the mobile operating server or the push management system may transmit the generated keep-alive message to a destination push server (e.g., push server 130). In some embodiments, the mobile operating server or the push management system may identify the destination push server based at least in part on information on the destination push server which may be contained in the request. Processing may continue to block 450.
At block 450, the mobile operating server or the push management system may wait for a timeout period to transmit the keep-alive message again. In some embodiments, the timeout period may be set as a keep-alive message interval (e.g., keep-alive message interval 230) which may be contained in the request. Processing may continue to block 460.
At block 460, the mobile operating server or the push management system may determine whether the timeout period has expired or not. If the mobile operating server or the push management system determines that the timeout period has expired, processing may continue to block 470. Otherwise, processing may continue to block 450.
At block 470, the mobile operating server or the push management system may perform a device status confirmation process for the mobile device. Processing may continue to block 480.
At block 480, the mobile operating server or the push management system may determine whether the mobile device is confirmed or not. If the mobile operating server or the push management system determines that the mobile device is confirmed, processing may continue to block 440. Otherwise, processing may continue to block 410.
As such, it may be possible to save network resources provided by the mobile operating server and/or reduce power consumption of the mobile device.
One skilled in the art will appreciate that, for this and other processes and methods disclosed herein, the functions performed in the processes and methods may be implemented in differing order. Furthermore, the outlined steps and operations are only provided as examples, and some of the steps and operations may be optional, combined into fewer steps and operations, or expanded into additional steps and operations without detracting from the essence of the disclosed embodiments.

The present disclosure is not to be limited in terms of the particular embodiments described in this application, which are intended as illustrations of various aspects. Many modifications and variations can be made without departing from its spirit and scope, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Functionally equivalent methods and apparatuses within the scope of the disclosure, in addition to those enumerated herein, will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing descriptions. Such modifications and variations are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims. The present disclosure is to be limited only by the terms of the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled. It is to be understood that this disclosure is not limited to particular methods, reagents, compounds, compositions or biological systems, which can, of course, vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to be limiting.
With respect to the use of substantially any plural and/or singular terms herein, those having skill in the art can translate from the plural to the singular and/or from the singular to the plural as is appropriate to the context and/or application. The various singular/plural permutations may be expressly set forth herein for sake of clarity.
It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term “including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” the term “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term “includes” should be interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,” etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to embodiments containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an” (e.g., “a” and/or “an” should be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without other modifiers, means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase “A or B” will be understood to include the possibilities of “A” or “B” or “A and B.”
In addition, where features or aspects of the disclosure are described in terms of Markush groups, those skilled in the art will recognize that the disclosure is also thereby described in teuns of any individual member or subgroup of members of the Markush group.
As will be understood by one skilled in the art, for any and all purposes, such as in terms of providing a written description, all ranges disclosed herein also encompass any and all possible subranges and combinations of subranges thereof. Any listed range can be easily recognized as sufficiently describing and enabling the same range being broken down into at least equal halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, tenths, etc. As a non-limiting example, each range discussed herein can be readily broken down into a lower third, middle third and upper third, etc. As will also be understood by one skilled in the art all language such as “up to,” “at least,” and the like include the number recited and refer to ranges which can be subsequently broken down into subranges as discussed above. Finally, as will be understood by one skilled in the art, a range includes each individual member. Thus, for example, a group having 1-3 cells refers to groups having 1, 2, or 3 cells. Similarly, a group having 1-5 cells refers to groups having 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 cells, and so forth.
From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that various embodiments of the present disclosure have been described herein for purposes of illustration, and that various modifications may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the various embodiments disclosed herein are not intended to be limiting, with the true scope and spirit being indicated by the following claims.
