Description

Technical Field

Background

With the popularization of mobile networks and the increase of network speed, a client (such as a video platform and a comprehensive social client) installed in a mobile terminal (such as a mobile phone) of a mobile network can be used to generally release a traffic-free package or a traffic package to a user, that is, the user can use the client without consuming traffic of the mobile network provided by an operator.

In the related art, when a client detects that a user starts to use a flow of a mobile network provided by any operator to acquire content in the client, the operator needs to query whether a SIM card currently used by a terminal opens a flow-free service, so as to determine whether to provide the flow-free service for the user.

In practical application, the client side needs to access the interface through a specific protocol provided by an operator for inquiring the flow-free service, and because different operators use different communication protocols and the same operator may update the interface and the protocol irregularly, the client side also needs to update synchronously, otherwise, the client side cannot normally inquire the opening state of the flow-free service, and further cannot normally provide the flow-free service.

Detailed Description

In order to make the technical solutions of the present disclosure better understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present disclosure and in the foregoing drawings are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the disclosure described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure.

In the embodiment of the present specification, a system of an application is a C/S (client/server) architecture, a flow-free service synchronization process relates to a server and a client of the system, and a corresponding schematic diagram of the system architecture is shown in fig. 1 and includes aserver device 10 and aclient device 20.

The client device may be a terminal device such as a smart phone and a tablet computer, which can be equipped with a SIM card, and the client may be an application installed in the terminal device, such as an online video APP, a social APP, and the like; the specific form of the server-side device may be a specific server or a server cluster. In addition, the client device and the server device may be communicatively connected through various forms of networks, which is not limited in this specification.

Fig. 2 is an interaction flow diagram illustrating a traffic-free service synchronization method according to an example embodiment, which may include the following steps:

in step S21, the client initiates a status acquisition request to the server when monitoring that the mobile network is turned on.

In order to provide corresponding services to users who have opened the traffic-free service in time, the client needs to monitor the mobile network opening action of the client in the client device. The mobile network may specifically be started in a number of ways:

in one example, a mobile network may be used for clients during startup. For example, when a client device (e.g., a mobile phone) of a user currently uses a mobile network, the client will use the mobile network to receive and send data during a starting process after the user opens the client.

In another example, a handover from a wireless network to a mobile network may be made for the current network. For example, the network used when the client is started is a wireless network, but in the using process of the client, the wireless network of the client device (such as a mobile phone) is closed and the mobile network is opened, and then the client is the current network, that is, the wireless network is switched to the mobile network.

In yet another example, a SIM card of the mobile network may be provided for handover. For example, 2 SIM cards are inserted into a client device (e.g., a mobile phone), and in a use process of the client, a currently used mobile network is switched from the card 1 to the card 2, so that even if the client determines that the card 1 opens a traffic-free service for the client, it still needs to determine whether the switched card 2 opens the traffic-free service for the client.

Of course, the mobile network may be opened in other manners, which need not be limited in theory in the embodiments of the present description, and those skilled in the art may flexibly set the manner according to actual situations.

After monitoring that the mobile network is started, the client initiates a state acquisition request to the server, wherein the request specifies an SIM card identifier corresponding to the mobile network used by the client, so that the server determines the flow-free service starting state of the SIM card identifier for the client through the SIM card identifier.

It can be understood that the SIM card identifier referred to in this specification may also be a mobile phone identifier or a client identifier, and as long as the purpose of obtaining the status information of the traffic-free service from the service end and the operator through the identifier can be achieved, the specification does not need to limit the specific form of the identifier theoretically.

In step S22, the service end receives a status acquisition request sent by the client, and determines, according to the SIM card identifier, status information indicating whether an operator opens a traffic-free service for the client.

In step S23, the server returns the status information to the client.

For convenience of description, S22 is explained in conjunction with S23.

In this specification, the traffic-free service object is a client, specifically: the traffic-free service object can be an account number currently logged in by the client, so that the server can determine the state information corresponding to the client through the SIM card identifier corresponding to the account number logged in by the client; under the condition that the client does not log in the account currently, if the current equipment of the client is provided with the SIM card, the flow-free service can be provided through the installed SIM card, namely, an object of the flow-free service can also be the SIM card installed in the current equipment of the client, so that the server can determine the state information corresponding to the client through the identification of the installed SIM card; and so on.

In one embodiment, as shown in table 1 below:

TABLE 1

SIM card identification	Client terminal		Traffic free service state
				Card 1	Certain video client		Has been opened
Card 2	Certain social client		Is not opened

The server can pre-store the corresponding relation of the opened or unopened states of different SIM card identifications, different clients and the flow-free service. After receiving the state acquisition request with the assigned SIM card identifier, the server can determine the state information corresponding to the SIM card identifier according to the corresponding relation in the table, wherein the state information is used for representing whether the SIM card identifier opens the flow-free service for the client.

Certainly, the service end may also pre-store state information used for representing whether the SIM card identifier opens the traffic-free service for the client in other manners, which is not limited in this specification.

After the server determines the state information, the server can return the determined state information to the client.

In practical application, if the client maintains the status query protocol of the operator, the client needs to be synchronously upgraded after the operator upgrades the interface and the protocol, otherwise, the flow-free service cannot be normally provided for the user, but the forced upgrade of the client also affects the use experience of the user on the client.

In order to solve the problems, the service end maintains the state query protocol of each operator in the scheme, and after the operator upgrades the interface and the protocol, only synchronous upgrade needs to be carried out on the service end, so that the use experience of a user cannot be influenced.

Therefore, the service end can further return the status query agreement of the operator to the client end, so that the client end can query the current status information of the operator by using the status query agreement. Optionally, the server may send the aforementioned status information to the client together with the status query protocol.

In practical application, during a peak period when a user uses a client, a status query request sent by the client to an operator may exceed the carrying capacity of the operator, so that a server can selectively return a status query protocol to the client based on a preset load balancing policy, thereby limiting and scheduling access from the client to an operator interface. The load balancing policy may be implemented based on the prior art, which is not described in this specification, and as long as the current limitation and scheduling of access from the client to the operator interface can be implemented to reduce the pressure of the operator interface on processing access, the embodiment of this specification does not theoretically need to limit a specific form of the load balancing policy.

In a specific embodiment, after determining, by the service end according to the SIM card identifier, whether a representation operator opens the status information of the traffic-free service for the client, it may further determine whether the client meets a preset interface access condition. The interface access condition may specifically include:

in one example, the condition may be that an operator corresponding to the SIM card identification can be obtained. For example, the service end may determine an operator corresponding to the SIM card identifier according to the IP address used by the client, or determine a corresponding operator according to a digital field indicating the operator in an IMSI Number (International Mobile subscriber identity Number) of the SIM card, or determine a corresponding operator according to operator information manually filled, or the like.

Correspondingly, when the server determines whether the client meets a preset interface access condition, specifically, whether an operator corresponding to the SIM card identifier can be obtained can be determined, and if the operator corresponding to the SIM card identifier can be obtained, it can be determined that the client meets the interface access condition.

In another example, the condition may be that the storage duration of the state information corresponding to the SIM card identifier exceeds a preset time limit. The time limit can be set by operation and maintenance personnel according to experience; or based on the open cycle of the traffic-free service of the operator, the open cycle is obtained and set through algorithm calculation; and the like, which are not limited in this specification.

And only after the state information corresponding to the SIM card identifier is stored for a certain time, the client is informed to inquire new state information to the operator again. Therefore, by setting the storage duration period, the condition information of the same SIM card identifier aiming at the same client can be prevented from being inquired for many times in a short period, and the access times of the client to the operator interface are reduced under the condition of not influencing the accuracy of the stored condition information.

Correspondingly, when the server determines whether the client meets a preset interface access condition, specifically, under the condition that the state information corresponding to the SIM card identifier is determined to be opened, it is determined whether the storage duration of the state information corresponding to the SIM card identifier exceeds a preset time limit, and if the storage duration exceeds the preset time limit, it is determined that the client meets the interface access condition.

In yet another example, the condition may be that the interface access priority of the client is above a preset priority threshold. For example, the server may determine the load capacity of the operator a in advance, and further determine the number N of clients that can access the interface of the operator a in a unit time, thereby setting a priority threshold N +1 in advance, and only the N clients with priorities higher than the priority threshold can access the interface of the operator a, thereby avoiding exceeding the load capacity of the operator.

Correspondingly, when the server determines whether the client meets the preset interface access condition, specifically, the interface access priority of the client may be determined according to the storage duration of the state information corresponding to the SIM card identifier, for example, the longer the storage duration, the higher the priority. And then determining that the client meets the interface access condition under the condition that the priority of the client is higher than a preset priority threshold.

It is understood that the interface access condition includes one or more of the above-mentioned exemplary conditions, and may also include other one or more conditions that are not illustrated, and those skilled in the art may flexibly set the conditions according to practical situations, and the embodiments of the present specification do not limit this.

And the server side can return a state query protocol of an operator corresponding to the SIM card identification to the client side under the condition that the client side is determined to meet the interface access condition.

And after receiving the state query agreement of the operator corresponding to the SIM card identifier sent by the server, the client can send a state query request to the operator corresponding to the SIM card identifier based on the state query agreement.

When a client sends a status query request to an operator, the client must send the request through the mobile network of the operator. Although the client sends the status query request to the operator after monitoring that the mobile network is turned on, the client may still fail to initiate the status query request or receive the query result returned by the operator due to the fact that the client is not currently connected to the mobile network of the operator because the mobile network is unstable.

And under the condition that the client receives the state information returned by the operator, the current flow-free service state of the client aiming at the SIM card identifier can be determined according to the state information.

Further, the client may also upload new state information to the server, that is, send a state information update request to the server according to the determined activated or unopened state, where the state information update request is used to request to update state information indicating whether an operator activates a traffic-free service for the client.

And after receiving the state information updating request sent by the client, the server updates the state information according to the state information updating request so as to return the updated state information to the client in the subsequent condition of receiving the state acquisition request. That is, the state information pre-stored by the server may be the state information queried and uploaded by the previous client.

In step S24, the client determines whether to provide a traffic-free service according to the status information returned by the server.

If the state information represents that the flow-free service is opened, the flow-free service is provided, and the client side can not consume the flow of the mobile network when the client side subsequently sends and receives data in the using process of the user.

And if the state information representation does not open the flow-free service, the flow-free service is not provided, and the client needs to consume the flow of the mobile network in the subsequent data sending and receiving in the user using process.

In addition, the client can also perform other processing actions according to the state information. For example, if it is determined that the flow-exempt service is not opened, recommendation information may be further displayed in the client interface, so that the recommended user handles the flow-exempt package; for another example, if it is determined that the traffic-exempt service has been opened, richer multimedia content may be further presented in the client; and so on.

In order to more clearly describe the traffic-free service synchronization scheme in the embodiment of the present specification, the following describes the traffic-free service synchronization method executed by the client and the server from a single-side perspective respectively:

fig. 3 is a flowchart of a flow-free service synchronization method executed by a server, which may specifically include the following steps:

in S31, a state acquisition request sent by a client is received, where the state acquisition request specifies an SIM card identifier corresponding to a mobile network used by the client;

in S32, determining, according to the SIM card identifier, status information indicating whether an operator opens a traffic-free service for the client;

in S33, the status information is returned to the client, so that the client determines whether to provide a traffic exempt service according to the status information.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a flow-free service synchronization method executed by a client, which may specifically include the following steps:

in S41, when it is monitored that the mobile network is turned on, a state acquisition request is initiated to the server, so that the server returns state information indicating whether an operator opens a traffic-free service for the client according to the SIM card identifier; the state acquisition request specifies an SIM card identifier corresponding to a mobile network used by the client;

in S42, it is determined whether to provide a traffic-free service according to the status information returned by the server.

For details of the single-side execution method of the client and the server, reference may be made to the description of the foregoing embodiments, which are not described herein again.

The traffic-free service synchronization method provided in the present specification is described below with reference to a more specific example.

Assuming that the operator a corresponds to the SIM card 1 inserted in the mobile phone used by the user, an interaction flow between the operator a, the client a and the server may be as shown in fig. 5.

Under the condition that the client a starts to use the mobile network of the operator A, the client a sends a state acquisition request to the server, wherein the request specifies the SIM card identifier corresponding to the used mobile network of the operator A, namely the identifier of the currently inserted card 1 in the mobile phone, for example, the request carries the IMSI number of the card 1.

After receiving the request of the client a, the server searches in the corresponding relationship among the locally pre-stored SIM card identifier IMSI number, the client identifier and the state information according to the IMSI number carried in the request, and determines that the flow-free service of the card 1 for the client a is in an opened state if the found IMSI number of the card 1 and the state information corresponding to the client a are opened.

In addition, the server determines that the card 1 corresponds to the operator a according to the corresponding number field in the IMSI number carried in the request, and determines that the stored duration of the found state information is greater than a preset duration (for example, 24 hours), so that the server can obtain a state query protocol which is locally upgraded in advance and is synchronized with the operator.

And the server returns the inquired state information and the acquired state inquiry protocol to the client a.

The client a provides a flow-free service for the client according to the state information of 'opened', namely, the user does not consume the mobile network flow of the operator A when using the client a, and the mobile network flow cost is not generated.

And the client a accesses the interface of the operator A according to the state query protocol and sends a state query request.

After receiving the state query request, the operator a obtains the information related to the flow-free service of the card 1 from the inside, and the obtaining process may involve sensitive data such as a user mobile phone number, a tariff package and the like, so that the information is obtained and processed only from the inside of the operator a and is not sent to the client a or the server, thereby ensuring the information security of the user.

And the operator A returns the acquired state information to the client a.

The client a uploads the state information to the server.

And the server side updates the state information in the corresponding relation stored locally according to the state information, for example, if the state information is 'unopened' or 'expired' and the like, the state information is updated to 'unopened'.

When the subsequent client a sends a state acquisition request carrying the IMSI number of the card 1 to the server, the server may return updated state information, that is, "not open," and the client a will not provide the flow-free service.
