DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Description will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the disclosure as recited in the appended claims.
APPs can integrate a push software development kit (PushSDK) to implement the push function. However, mainstream push software development kits in the current market have different push arrival rates in mobile phone systems of respective manufacturers. For example, the push software development kits from manufacturer A have the highest arrival rate in a mobile phone system of manufacturer A, and the mobile phone system from A manufacturer will do some supports for improving the active capability of the push software development kit from manufacturer A, such as maintaining a persistent connection for the push software development kit from manufacturer A. However, the push software development kit from manufacturer A may have a much different arrival rate in the mobile phone system of manufacturer B.
A push software development kit integrated in an APP may have different push effects in the case of a large number of user bases from different mobile phone manufacturers, and may have large errors in the generated push data.
For example, a push software development kit developed by a manufacturer works best on the manufacturer's own brand of mobile phones, but the push effect on other manufacturers' mobile phones may not be satisfactory. At present, in some other technologies, push software development kits from various manufacturers are integrated in an APP. The current device model is determined when the APP is started, and the push software development kit of corresponding manufacturer is loaded to implement push initialization. However, this method has to integrate a large number of software development kits in the APP. Especially in the case that the manufacturers develop their own software development kits, the size of the APP will become huge, which occupies the memory and has high storage costs, and the huge size of the APP will also affect users' download decisions.
Various embodiments of the present disclosure can address these problems, for example, through a method for acquiring push information. Referring to FIG. 1, the method for acquiring push information 10 is applied to a terminal device, and includes steps S11 to S14 as follows.
In step S11: a device model of the terminal device is transmitted to a server.
For example, when an APP is first started, the APP calls the device model of the terminal device and transmits it to the server, and then saves it locally after acquiring the software development kit, without transmitting the device model each time the APP is started; in other cases, it also can be that the device model is transmitted to the server each time the APP is started. The software development kit can be cached locally only, which can save local storage space and facilitates the update of the software development kit.
In step S12: a push software development kit corresponding to the device model and a configuration file corresponding to the push software development kit transmitted by the server are received.
After receiving the device model of the terminal device, the server calls a push software development kit corresponding to the terminal device. Herein, the push software development kit corresponding to the terminal device can be a software development kit developed by a manufacturer of the terminal device and can also be a software development kit most suitable for the terminal device, which aims to ensure that the push software development kit can achieve a higher push arrival rate on this terminal device than those of other push software development kits. The configuration file corresponding to the push software development kit contains the initialization processes of the corresponding push software development kit, the method of executing the push software development kit, and parameters need to be invoked.
In some embodiments, the push software development kit is obtained by performing a secondary encapsulation on an original push file used for pushing information to the device model, and the configuration file corresponding to the push software development kit is generated according to the secondary encapsulation. Herein, the original push file may be a different software development kit or JAR package file (Java Archive File) developed by different manufactures for the APP, and in the present disclosure, in order to use a plug-in form, that is, without integrating the software development kit in the APP but obtaining it afterwards according to the device model, the original push file needs to be performed an secondary encapsulation through the technical documentation of software development kit and compiled into a plug-in form with unified format, and the corresponding configuration file is generated at the same time. Classes, methods and processes that are used according to secondary encapsulation should be written in the configuration file, so that thereafter the content in the push software development kit can be leaned and the reflection execution can be performed through parsing and analyzing in the terminal device.
In step S13: the push software development kit is initialized based on the configuration file, and a registration with the server is completed.
The initialization of the push software development kit is performed through the configuration file, and a registration is completed with the server, so that the server can transmit push information.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the step S13 can include: parsing the configuration file to obtain demand parameters and initialization processes of the push software development kit; invoking the demand parameters; generating local components according to the initialization processes on a basis of the demand parameters, and transmitting registration information to the server; and receiving a push identifier transmitted by the server based on the registration information.
The configuration file and the push software development kit can be received at the same time. The configuration file can be parsed after being received. The configuration file records the initialization processes and the parameters required to execute the push software development kit. After the parsing of configuration file is completed, if the receiving of push software development kit is completed, an initialization can be performed. According to the configuration file, the corresponding data is invoked, and the initialization process is reflected and executed from the push software development kit. Herein, the initialization process can include: generating some components of the push software development kit and transmitting registration information to the server. The registration information can be the device model and APP identifier. After receiving the registration information, the server completes the registration and can transmit a push identifier, such as a region identifier (RegID), to the terminal device, where RegID is the unique identifier of the current APP on the current terminal device and is used by the server to transmit push information.
In step S14: the push information transmitted by the server is received through the push software development kit.
After the push software development kit is initialized, the server can transmit push information to the terminal device, where the push information can be a transparent message or a notification bar message, etc., the specific form of which can be set by the server according to the terminal device.
In some embodiments, the step S14 may include: establishing a persistent connection between the terminal device and the server based on the push software development kit corresponding to the device model; and receiving, through the persistent connection, the push information transmitted by the server based on the push identifier.
By establishing a stable and reliable persistent connection between the server and the terminal device, a service of pushing messages in real time to the APPs on the terminal device can be provided to developers, thereby effectively helping the developers reach users and improving the activity of the APPs.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the method 10 for acquiring push information further includes a step S15: transmitting a receipt to the server after receiving the push information transmitted by the server. In some cases, in order to facilitate the statistics on an arrival rate of push information, the terminal device transmits a receipt to the server after receiving the push information, and the server obtains an arrival rate of push information by calculating a ratio of the number of the receipts and the number of actual transmissions.
Based on a similar concept, as shown in FIG. 3, there is also provides a method 20 for transmitting push information. Referring to FIG. 3, the method 20 for transmitting push information is applied to a server, and includes steps S21 to S24, which are described in detail below:
In step S21: a device model of a terminal device transmitted by the terminal device is received.
As described in the foregoing embodiments, the terminal device transmits the device model thereof to the server when starting an APP, and the server receives the device model.
In step S22, a push software development kit corresponding to the device model and a configuration file corresponding to the push software development kit are invoked and transmitted to the terminal device.
After receiving the device model of the terminal device, the server calls the push software development kit corresponding to the device model and the corresponding configuration file. Herein, the push software development kit corresponding to the terminal device can be a software development kit developed by a manufacturer of the terminal device and can also be a software development kit most suitable for the terminal device, which aims to ensure that the push software development kit can achieve a higher push arrival rate on this terminal device than those of other push software development kits.
In some embodiments, the method 20 for transmitting push information can further include: acquiring multiple push software development kits corresponding to multiple device models and multiple configuration files corresponding to multiple push software development kits, wherein the push software development kits are obtained by performing a secondary encapsulation on an original push file used for pushing information, and the configuration file is generated according to the secondary encapsulation. As described in the foregoing embodiments, the push software development kit is obtained by performing a secondary encapsulation on the original push file corresponding to the terminal device and is compiled into a plug-in form with unified format, so as to facilitate the reception and use by the terminal device. The server first acquires the push software development kit corresponding to each device model, which can be stored on the server, so as to facilitate the invoking of the terminal device. Herein, it should be noted that the device model and the push software development kit can be in a one-to-one correspondence, for example, the software development kit of each manufacturer corresponds to the terminal device of the same manufacturer; it is also possible that multiple device models correspond to one push software development kit. If some terminal device manufacturers make corresponding software development kits, the push software development kit having the relatively highest push arrival rate can be used as the corresponding push software development kit.
In step S23: a registration initiated by the terminal device based on the push software development kit and the configuration file is completed.
In some embodiments, the step S23 can include: receiving registration information transmitted by the terminal device; and transmitting, in response to the registration information, a push identifier to the terminal device.
In step S24: push information is transmitted to the terminal device.
In some embodiments, the step S24 can include: establishing a persistent connection with the terminal device based on the push software development kit corresponding to the device model; and transmitting, through the persistent connection, the push information to the terminal device based on the push identifier.
In some embodiments, the method 20 for transmitting push information can further include: receiving a receipt transmitted by the terminal device after transmitting the push information to the terminal device, so as to make statistics on the arrival number or arrival rate of the push information.

While this specification contains many specific implementation details, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of any claims, but rather as descriptions of features specific to particular implementations. Certain features that are described in this specification in the context of separate implementations can also be implemented in combination in a single implementation. Conversely, various features that are described in the context of a single implementation can also be implemented in multiple implementations separately or in any suitable subcombination.
Moreover, although features can be described above as acting in certain combinations and even initially claimed as such, one or more features from a claimed combination can in some cases be excised from the combination, and the claimed combination can be directed to a subcombination or variation of a subcombination.
Similarly, while operations are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this should not be understood as requiring that such operations be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential order, or that all illustrated operations be performed, to achieve desirable results. In certain circumstances, multitasking and parallel processing can be advantageous. Moreover, the separation of various system components in the implementations described above should not be understood as requiring such separation in all implementations, and it should be understood that the described program components and systems can generally be integrated together in a single software product or packaged into multiple software products.
As such, particular implementations of the subject matter have been described. Other implementations are within the scope of the following claims. In some cases, the actions recited in the claims can be performed in a different order and still achieve desirable results. In addition, the processes depicted in the accompanying figures do not necessarily require the particular order shown, or sequential order, to achieve desirable results. In certain implementations, multitasking or parallel processing can be utilized.
It is intended that the specification and embodiments be considered as examples only. Other embodiments of the disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art in view of the specification and drawings of the present disclosure.
