302, subscriber management server (30) (such as above-mentioned registration management module (3011)) according to receive as described in reporting message obtain as described in IMSI information and as described in phone number, store the corresponding relation of described phone number and described IMSI information.

303, optional, because reporting message may have delay, carry out again follow-up processing flow after receiving this reporting message in order to ensure subscriber management server (30), AOE (101) can carry out certain time-delay.

304, AOE (101) (for example url management module (1011)) sends the routing iinformation request to described subscriber management server (30), carries described IMSI information in this routing iinformation request.

305, subscriber management server (30) (such as routing iinformation module (3012)) is (concrete to corresponding phone number according to the IMSI information searching in the routing iinformation request that receives, namely refer to search above-mentioned registration management module (3011)), again according to the AOG address of pre-stored phone number ownership, return the address of AOG (20) of this phone number ownership to described AOE (101).

After 306, AOE (101) (for example url management module (1011)) got access to the AOG information of ownership, to AOG (20) the initiation registration request of ownership, this registration request carried IMSI information.

More excellent, this registration request can also carry but be not limited to: the information of the chartered applications client among the AOE (101), the sign that for example should use, the model of terminal, access network APN, operating system version, and the version of AOE (101) etc.

307, after this AOG (20) receives registration request, receive the registration request of described AOE (101) after, judge whether the IMSI information wherein comprise is registered in this AOG (20).

If 308. not registration then this AOG (20) sends the authentication information request to subscriber management server (30), the IMSI information in the described registration request is carried in described authentication information request.

309, (concrete, for example the end message module 301) returned end message phone number corresponding to IMSI information to AOG (20) after subscriber management server (30) received the authentication information request.

310, AOG (20) (for example wherein url management module (2011)) judges, and to be that this phone number is no be the service range of this AOG (20), if not returning registration failure, the flow process end.If belong to the service range of this AOG (20), this AOG (20) (for example wherein url management module (2011)) stores this phone number.More excellent, can also preserve other information of carrying in the aforementioned log-on message, terminal models for example, chartered applications client, etc. information.

311, in 310 successfully after the registration AOG (20) (for example wherein url management module (2011)) return the registration response to AOE (101) (for example url management module (1011)).

So far, AOE (101) successfully sets up aforementioned long-chain and connects with the AOG (20) of ownership.This process has been utilized end message trusty in the system, and user profile is set up long-chain and is connect, not needing system to pass through the mutual of complexity is that each terminal (10) generates unique device id, and utilize this unique device id to set up long-chain to connect, thereby in simple flow, improved the fail safe that long-chain connects.

Shown in the earlier figures 3a is that terminal (10) is when starting or detect ISMI information in the SIM card (SIM card in the terminal is not replaced not simultaneously with the information of registering last time, can be understood as a new terminal (10)) the process that connects of foundation, concrete, comprise end message registration on AOG (20) in the registration on the AOG (20) and application message.In the situation that other terminal (10) itself may occur after AOG (20) registration, increase and install or deleted some application, need to take similar method to carry out the renewal of application message.With reference to figure 3b, the schematic flow sheet of using for upgrading, the wherein system that forms for the AOG on the AOG of terminal (10) ownership place and application server access ground of AOG (20).In the object lesson, its flow process comprises:

301b installs the applications client that (perhaps unloading) supports to realize alternately with AOE (101) the AOI function on the terminal;

302b, after the applications client installation (perhaps unloading finish after), the application enrollment interface that calls SDK is registered (unloading is considered as calling the application cancellation interface of SDK and nullifies);

303b, AOE (101) calls the REG interface, and sending to terminal attaching ground AOG increases application request (being the deletion application request during unloading);

304b, the application message that terminal attaching ground AOG is corresponding with terminal is upgraded warehouse-in;

305b, terminal attaching ground AOG returns registration response (not nullifying response during unloading) to AOE (101);

305b, terminal attaching ground AOG be according to the ID of the application of terminal to report, and the structure INFO notification message of reaching the standard grade sends to the AOG gateway of using ownership, this notification message carrying mobile phone number of reaching the standard grade.(when unloading, being the notification message that rolls off the production line).

307b, the AOG on application server access ground is converted to pseudo-code with phone number.

308b, the AOG on application server access ground, the notification message of will reaching the standard grade (being the notification message that rolls off the production line when unloading) is transmitted to application server, carries pseudo-code in the message.

309b, application server returns push-notification-answer.

310b, the AOG on application server access ground is transmitted to the former initiator of notice AOG gateway with push-notification-answer.

Concrete, when terminal attaching AOG gateway is same gateway with application ownership AOG gateway, then do not need the forward process of message between gateway in 306b, the 310b step in the above-mentioned flow process.

If terminal attaching ground AOG gateway is not same gateway with using ownership AOG gateway, and do not set up effectively between the two and connect, then before forward message, initiatively finish REG registration login process to using ownership place AOG gateway by terminal attaching ground AOG gateway, and then carry out message forwarding.

In order to simplify the AOG intra-gateway for the handling process of REG message, in using installation procedure, AOG02 can not distinguish the registration message (perhaps logout message) of which kind of type, receiving behind the message still can be by register flow path first, confirm whether the IMSI summary exists at this AOG, if there is no inquiry mobile phone number to the subscriber management server 03, and whether belong to the scope of this AOG service according to phone number, confirm the content to AOE (101) return messages.Only in simple application installation procedure, IMSI must exist, and number must belong to this AOG, can not go to other branch.

Be depicted as a configuration diagram of supporting the System Implementation mode that applications client is forever online such as Fig. 4 a, comprise in the system:

At least two applications client, this applications client are arranged in terminal (10), with described permanent online engine AOE (101) communication connection;

Permanent online engine AOE (101) is arranged in terminal (10), with at least two applications client communication connections, is used for and forever sets up a long-chain between the online service gateway A OG (20) connecing;

Permanent online service gateway A OG (20) is positioned at network side, is used for and forever sets up described long-chain between the engine AOE (101) online connecing;

One or more application server (04,05) is positioned at network side, communicates to connect with permanent online service gateway A OG (20);

Wherein, these at least two applications client connect with this one or more application server 04 by this long-chain and communicate by letter, with the applied business of realizing that respectively this one or more server (04,05) provides; In this system, the maintenance that this long-chain connects is responsible for by the AOG (20) of service side, that is to say, between terminal (10) and AOG (20), initiates heartbeat message by AOG (20), connects so that safeguard this long-chain.Wherein applications client is used for user oriented provides applied business, and application server 04 is used for providing various applied business, for example following application one of or arbitrary combination: PUSH Mail, weather forecast, VOIP, advertisement, positioning service, enterprise's office, service for life, etc.

Shown in Fig. 4 a, adopt this mode of safeguarding that long-chain connects, with respect to the mode of being initiated heartbeat by end side, terminal (containing each applications client in it) does not need to send a large amount of heartbeat message to one or more application server on the one hand, reduce the signaling pressure of end side, AOE (101) in the terminal does not need these heartbeats such as are filtered/abandon at special the processing yet on the other hand, when having reduced the outside signaling consumption that sends of terminal, further reduced the inner signaling consumption of terminal (10); In addition, AOG (20) can adjust eartbeat interval according to network condition when initiating heartbeat, automatically controls the heartbeat parameter, makes heartbeat accord with the situation of network most, thereby avoid the process of end side active probe network parameter, further reduced communication resource waste.

With reference to figure 4b, in more excellent execution mode, AOE (101) and AOG (20) can be separately disconnect on one's own initiative this long-chain according to oneself judgement respectively and connect, thereby further saved the communication resource of network, terminal, server etc., certainly also saved the especially electric quantity consumption of terminal (10) of each equipment.When whenever necessary, AOG (20) can initiatively wake up and being connected of end side again.

Be angle from AOE (101) with reference to figure 5a, the schematic diagram of the execution mode that the heartbeat that connects about long-chain is safeguarded.With reference to figure 5a, after having set up long-chain and connecing, AOE (101) taps into the schematic diagram of the more excellent method that row safeguards to long-chain, comprising:

Optionally, AOE (101) (for example wherein url management module (1011)) receives the disconnection request (for example BYE) that AOG (20) initiatively sends, and then disconnects this long-chain and connects.

Optionally, after AOE (101) (for example heart time module (1012)) receives heartbeat message, refresh timer, if this timer surpasses the regular hour and does not also receive other heartbeat message when threshold value, then send the request of disconnecting (for example BYE) to AOG (20), connect in order to close this long-chain.For example, it is 5 minutes that this time threshold is set, 10 minutes, and perhaps 30 minutes etc.

Optionally, all applications client that AOE (101) (for example wherein application management module (1012)) detects its management are in the regular hour threshold value during off-duty, initiatively initiate the request that disconnects (for example BYE request), then disconnect this long-chain and connect.For example, it is 5 minutes that this time threshold is set, 10 minutes, and perhaps 30 minutes etc.

Optionally, the battery electric quantity of AOE (101) (for example wherein battery cell monitoring module (1014)) monitoring terminal (10), (for example electric weight only remains 10% when electric weight is not enough to certain threshold value, perhaps 5%), if long-chain connects existence, then initiatively send to disconnect and ask for example BYE), optional, can in disconnecting request, increase label, show it is to disconnect this long-chain to connect because electric weight is low.

By aforementioned possible execution mode, long-chain connects after the disconnection, and AOE (101) enters resting state, and (can wait for that AOG (20) wakes up by note) can save the electric weight of terminal (10).Wherein, the mode that various disconnection long-chains of initiatively being initiated by AOE (101) connect, further reduced unnecessary signaling waste, the AOG (20) of network side does not need to send heartbeat message again after for example disconnecting, and has further saved in addition the battery electric quantity on the terminal (10) yet.

Need to prove in addition, when the long-chain between AOE (101) and the AOG (20) connects when existing, the operating system that need to forbid terminal (10) enters resting state, with the normal connection that guarantees that long-chain connects, when and AOG between long-chain connect when disconnecting dormancy mechanism that can the recovery operation system.

With reference to figure 5b, how to safeguard that from the angle explanation of AOG (20) this long-chain connects.Need to prove, the AOG (20) that Fig. 5 b describes is in the application process of reality, may be a single server, may be divided into as required the AOG (20) of terminal (10) (concrete AOE wherein (101)) ownership and the AOG (20) of one or more application server ownership.Wherein, optionally, for the latter (situations of two AOG), communicate connection between the AOG (20) of the AOG (20) of terminal (10) ownership and one or more application server ownership, the AOG (20) of terminal (10) ownership be responsible for terminal (10) in AOE (101) mutual, the AOG (20) of one or more application server ownership is responsible for one or more application server mutual.More specifically, internal structure from AOG (20), shown in Fig. 5 b 501 to 504 can be carried out by termination management module (1021), and this termination management module (1021) can be positioned on the AOG (20) of terminal (10) ownership; Step 500,505-508 can be carried out by application management module (1022), and this application management module (1022) can be positioned on the AOG (20) of application server ownership.

Concrete, in the execution mode shown in Fig. 5 b, comprise the steps:

500-501, AOE (101) connects with the long-chain of setting up of AOG (20) success.Finish REG register flow path (501) comprising AOE (101) and terminal attaching ground AOG, comprise the information of terminal, and the information of applications client on the terminal.Accordingly, what one or more application server also needed success is registered to AOG (20) (step 500), like this, roll off the production line on the AOE (101) (being terminal (10)) to notify and follow-uply can notify one or more application server.

After the setting up long-chain and connect of 502, AOE (101) and AOG (20) success, AOG (20) initiatively initiates the ACK heartbeat message to terminal, connects so that safeguard this long-chain.In the more excellent execution mode, can send according to the situation configuration of network the time interval of heartbeat message, i.e. eartbeat interval, and configuration time-out time control etc.;

503, AOE (101) replys ACKRSP response, the active state that expression AOE (101) is in.

504, AOG (20) taps into row according to following several situations to long-chain and safeguards, includes but not limited to:

5041, when AOG (20) receives the disconnection request of AOE (101) active transmission, disconnect this long-chain and connect, no longer send heartbeat message; Concrete, can be with reference to the flow process shown in the figure 5a.

5042, when AOG (20) judges that surpassing the certain hour threshold value does not receive the data flow that sends from this terminal (10) (AOE (101)), initiatively initiate to disconnect request (for example BYE), no longer send heartbeat message.In the more excellent execution mode, this time threshold is configurable, for example, gives tacit consent to 10 minutes or 30 minutes 5 minutes.

5043, after AOG (20) judge to send heartbeat message ACT, when the situation that does not obtain the response of AOE (101) surpasses certain frequency threshold value, initiatively initiate to disconnect request (for example BYE), no longer send heartbeat message.In the more excellent execution mode, this frequency threshold value is configurable, for example, is defaulted as 3 times 4 times or 5 times etc.

5054, not shown, after 502, initiatively do not send the request of disconnection to AOE (101) if both received the disconnection request that AOE (101) sends yet, then according to the heart time interval, rule send heartbeat message to AOE (101) so that keep this long-chain to connect.

In the more excellent execution mode, on the basis of the aforementioned maintenance that connects for long-chain, AOG (20) (for example application management module (2012)) can also be further to the presence of AOE (101), and the applications client on this AOE (101) manages.For example, optional, 505, if AOG (20) according to step 5041,5042, perhaps the situations such as 5043 disconnect this long-chain and connect, and then confirm off-line of AOE (101), upgrade local storage AOE (101) whether presence is: off-line.

Optionally, 506, the permanent online application client client information of the upper registration of AOG (20) inquiry AOE (101), if and need to use pseudo-code to carry out alternately between one or more application server, then AOG (20) (for example application management module (2012)) is converted to pseudo-code with the phone number of this AOE (101) of the upper storage of AOG (20), and this pseudo-code is used for transmitting as subscriber identity information between AOG (20) and application server.Here, pseudo-code is that a user is in the unique identify label of internal system for some application.

Concrete, in order to protect privacy of user, some application can not be revealed to application server (SP) to phone number, at this moment needs to replace phone number with other sign.Common practices is for according to doing a summary with phone number and these information of other random number, and the summary that calculates can be referred to as pseudo-code.Phone number and pseudo-code are one to one, and mapping relations can be retained in server side.But algorithm is unidirectional, that is to say that relevant random parameter can not send to application server (SP), thereby application server (SP) can not instead be released phone number by pseudo-code.One or more application server (SP) can come identifying user by pseudo-code when sending downstream message, for example can inquire corresponding phone number by pseudo-code at server side, and then message can be routed to correct user.

More specifically, pseudo-code is application level, can specify some application to enable pseudo-code function, and pseudo-code function is closed in some application.Need to transmit pseudo-code if application management module (2012) has been specified in the controlled attribute of using, then needing has mutual phone number to generate pseudo-code for using therewith, and, the corresponding relation of maintenance customer's phone number and pseudo-code.In the example, the method for the pseudo-code of generation is: pseudo-code=HASH (MSISDN, Time, APPID, Random) wherein: HASH is hash algorithm, for example adopts the MD5 algorithm; MSISDN is user mobile phone number; Time: timestamp, for example adopt the YYYYMMDDHH24MISS form; APPID is application identities; Random is random number.For phone number and certain application of appointment, pseudo-code only generates once in system, throughout one's life effectively.Concrete, when needs converted pseudo-code to by phone number, the conjunctive query local data base was at first done according to phone number and application ID by system, can not find out pseudo-code, then proves and uses first this application, then generates pseudo-code with above-mentioned algorithm.When need to be by pseudo-code during to the conversion of phone number, AOG (20) inquires about local data base, inquires about unsuccessfully, and then proof is used the pseudo-code mistake of appointment.During successful inquiring, the APPID of the APPID in the application message and local pseudo-code database is mated, the match is successful, then thinks the pseudo-code verification succeeds.

Optionally, 507AOG (20) constructs the notification message that rolls off the production line and issues one or more application server, comprises pseudo-code in this notification message that rolls off the production line.

Accordingly, 508, one or more application server can return push-notification-answer after receiving the notification message that rolls off the production line.

Concrete, if AOG (20) is a server, then, this AOG (20) oneself carries out above-mentioned steps 506,507; If AOG (20) is the system of the AOG (20) of AOE (101) ownership and AOG (20) composition that one or more application server belongs to, then the AOG (20) of AOE (101) ownership sends the AOG (20) of notification message to one or more application server ownership that roll off the production line that comprises phone number, AOG (20) by one or more application server ownership is converted to pseudo-code with this phone number, and the notification message that rolls off the production line that will comprise pseudo-code sends to one or more application server.

Based on above-mentioned various possible execution modes, after long-chain connect disconnection, AOE (101) can wait for that AOG (20) wakes up by note, has rebulid this long-chain and has connect.Concrete can be realized by system as shown in Figure 6, for example be " note pushing module (2015) " among the AOG (20), " note processing module (1013) " among the AOE (101), " use wake module (1015) " etc. realizes.

Concrete, connect the possible schematic flow sheet that wakes the execution mode that this long-chain connects up in the situation of disconnection for long-chain with reference to figure 7.Comprise:
