Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

The embodiment of the invention provides a communication method, a mobile terminal and a system, which are used for solving the technical problem that a large amount of data traffic of the mobile terminal needs to be consumed when the mobile terminal in the prior art carries out instant messaging through instant messaging software.

An interaction method for mobile terminal communication introduced in an embodiment of the present invention is, as shown in fig. 1, an interaction diagram of the method, and a device related to the method includes: the system comprises a mobile terminal, a distribution server, a proxy server and another electronic device, wherein the mobile terminal is, for example: mobile phones, tablet computers, and the like, and a user of the mobile terminal is a terminal user; the distribution server is mainly used for providing identity authentication for the mobile terminal and selecting the proxy server; the proxy server is mainly used for providing network access service for the mobile terminal with the internet surfing flow-free authority; the other electronic equipment is used for sending instant communication messages to the mobile terminal or receiving the instant communication messages sent by the mobile terminal.

Referring to fig. 1, the interaction method for communication of a mobile terminal includes the steps of:

step S110: the method comprises the steps that a proxy server receives a first instant messaging message sent by the mobile terminal through a network of a mobile communication operator based on instant messaging software, wherein the first instant messaging message is generated by the mobile terminal through the instant messaging software;

step S120: the proxy server sends the first instant messaging message to another electronic device, and the first instant messaging message is provided for a user of the another electronic device by the another electronic device so as to realize that the mobile terminal communicates with the another electronic device through the instant messaging software;

As an optional embodiment, before the proxy server receives the first instant messaging message, the mobile terminal needs to determine a proxy server providing a network access service for the mobile terminal, where the mobile terminal may directly send its communication identifier to the distribution server, the distribution server determines whether the communication identifier has a traffic exemption right, and when the distribution server determines that the communication identifier has the traffic exemption right, the proxy server is allocated to the mobile terminal, otherwise, the proxy server is not allocated to the mobile terminal.

Further, the method further comprises:

step 130: the proxy server receives a second instant messaging message sent by another electronic device;

step 140: and sending the second instant messaging message to the mobile terminal through a network of a mobile communication operator, and providing the second instant messaging message to a user of the mobile terminal through instant messaging software of the mobile terminal.

Specifically, the first instant messaging message or the second instant messaging message includes a voice instant messaging message, an image instant messaging message or a text instant messaging message obtained by the mobile terminal through the instant messaging software.

As an alternative embodiment, the process of determining the proxy server continues with reference to fig. 1, and includes the following steps:

step S101: a distribution server receives a communication identifier, identity authentication information and an account number of instant messaging software of a mobile terminal, which are sent by the mobile terminal through a network of a mobile communication operator;

step S102: the distribution server judges whether the communication identification has the traffic-free permission or not based on the account number of the instant communication software and the identity authentication information;

step S103: and when the distribution server determines that the communication identifier has the traffic-free right, allocating a proxy server for the mobile terminal instant communication software to carry out instant communication in a traffic-free mode to the mobile terminal.

For example, before step S101, the mobile terminal may bind, in advance, an account of the instant messaging software of the mobile terminal in the distribution server by means of registration or the like, for example: the mobile terminal may first apply for a traffic-free service from a distribution server, after receiving an application from the mobile terminal, the distribution server determines whether to distribute a traffic-free permission to an account of instant messaging software of the mobile terminal according to some preset conditions (e.g., whether software initiating the application is predetermined software, whether the mobile terminal uses the predetermined software, whether the account of the instant messaging software is registered by a specified facilitator, etc.), and if the distribution server determines to distribute the traffic-free permission to the mobile terminal, the distribution server may send a userke (user password) to the mobile terminal as authentication information.

Further, in order to ensure that the communication identifier of the mobile terminal is not falsely used by other users, the distribution server may first send a verification code to the communication identifier, and the user of the mobile terminal allocates the identity verification information to the mobile terminal only after successfully filling the verification code; in addition, when the mobile terminal provides the flow-free service in the process of carrying out instant messaging through the instant messaging software, flow limitation does not exist, and flow limitation also exists, wherein the flow limitation does not exist, and no matter how much flow is accumulated and used by the mobile terminal in the process of carrying out instant messaging through the instant messaging software, the mobile terminal is provided with the flow-free permission as long as the flow-free requirement is met; the existence of the flow limitation refers to that a specific flow is allocated to the mobile terminal in each preset period, if the total flow used by the mobile terminal in the process of instant messaging through the instant messaging software does not exceed the specific flow, the mobile terminal is allocated with a flow-free authority under the condition that the mobile terminal meets the flow-free requirement, and if the total flow used by the mobile terminal in the process of instant messaging through the instant messaging software exceeds the specific flow, the mobile terminal is not allocated with the flow-free authority, for example; 30M free traffic, 50M free traffic, etc. may be allocated for a mobile terminal for one month.

Further, if the mobile terminal needs to perform instant messaging through the instant messaging software, for example: when detecting that a user of the mobile terminal starts the operation of the instant messaging software or detects the account login operation of the instant messaging software, the mobile terminal sends the communication identification of the mobile terminal, the account of the instant messaging software and the identity verification information to the distribution server.

In step S102, the distribution server determines whether the received authentication information of the communication identifier and the account of the instant messaging software match with the pre-stored authentication information of the communication identifier and the pre-stored account of the instant messaging software, and if so, indicates that the corresponding mobile terminal has the traffic exemption permission, otherwise, indicates that the corresponding mobile terminal does not have the traffic exemption permission.

In step S103, if the distribution server does not have a traffic limitation for the traffic exemption right allocated to the mobile terminal, the distribution server may directly allocate a proxy server to the mobile terminal after determining that the mobile terminal has the traffic exemption right, and if the traffic exemption right allocated to the mobile terminal by the distribution server is limited by the traffic, the distribution server needs to determine whether the remaining traffic exceeds a threshold value after determining that the mobile terminal has the traffic exemption right, and allocates the proxy server to the mobile terminal when the remaining traffic exceeds the threshold value, where the processing procedure specifically includes the following steps: the distribution server acquires free residual flow information which is obtained by charging the account of the instant communication software in a charging mode of a specified service provider; judging whether the free residual flow of the account of the instant messaging software is larger than a preset amount (such as the threshold value) or not based on the free residual flow information; and when the free residual flow is larger than the preset amount, distributing the proxy server for the mobile terminal.

In general, one of the functions of the distribution server is to count the free remaining traffic information of the account of the instant messaging software, where the preset amount is, for example: 0M, 1M, 512K and the like, wherein if the free residual flow is larger than the preset amount, the flow-free residual flow can meet the instant communication of the instant communication software under the normal condition, so that a proxy server can be allocated to the flow-free residual flow; and if the free residual flow is not greater than the preset amount, the fact that the free residual flow cannot meet the instant messaging of the instant messaging software under the normal condition is shown, so that the proxy server is not distributed to the free residual flow.

When the distribution server allocates the proxy server to the mobile terminal, the distribution server may select a proxy server closest to the physical location of the mobile terminal from the plurality of proxy servers to allocate to the mobile terminal, may select a proxy server with the lightest network load to allocate to the mobile terminal, or select a proxy server with the lowest network delay to allocate to the mobile terminal, or the like, or may select the distribution server by taking comprehensive consideration of at least two policies among the plurality of distribution policies, and as to what manner the distribution server adopts to allocate the proxy server to the mobile terminal, the embodiments of the present invention are not listed in detail and are not limited.

As an optional embodiment, under the condition that the traffic exemption authority allocated for the mobile terminal has no traffic limitation, if the mobile terminal has the traffic exemption authority, the distribution server may generate temporary verification information (token) for the instant messaging process of the instant messaging software of the mobile terminal at this time; alternatively, when there is a traffic limitation in the traffic exemption authority assigned to the mobile terminal, the distribution server may generate the temporary verification information if the mobile terminal has the traffic exemption authority and the mobile terminal has a free remaining traffic.

In addition, in order to ensure that the subsequent mobile terminal can connect to the proxy server, the distribution server needs to send some data to the proxy server, and four data are listed below for description, and of course, in the implementation process, the following four cases are not limited. Firstly, a distribution server sends a communication identifier of a mobile terminal to a proxy server; the distributing server sends the communication identification and the temporary verification information of the mobile terminal to the proxy server; thirdly, the distribution server sends the communication identification and the free residual flow of the mobile terminal to the proxy server; and fourthly, the distribution server sends the communication identification, the free residual flow and the temporary verification information of the mobile terminal to the proxy server.

In addition, address information of the proxy server also needs to be provided for the mobile terminal, wherein the address information of the proxy server can be directly sent to the mobile terminal by the distribution server; the proxy server may also send the communication identifier of the mobile terminal to the mobile terminal through the communication identifier of the mobile terminal after receiving the communication identifier of the mobile terminal. As shown in step S104 of fig. 1, a process of the mobile terminal to which the address information of the proxy server is transmitted by the distribution server.

After the preparation is completed, in step S110, if the distribution server does not allocate temporary verification information to the instant messaging process in steps S101 to S103, the mobile terminal directly sends the first instant messaging message carrying the traffic-free identifier to the proxy server; if the distribution server distributes the temporary verification information to the instant communication process in the steps S101 to S103, the mobile terminal sends the first instant communication message carrying the traffic-free identification and the temporary verification information to the proxy server.

The flow-free identifier may be a plurality of different forms of flow-free identifiers, and two of them are listed below for description, and certainly, in the specific implementation process, the flow-free identifier is not limited to the following two cases.

The method comprises the steps that after receiving a communication identifier of a mobile terminal sent by a distribution server and before receiving a first instant messaging message sent by the mobile terminal, a proxy server sends a preset label to the mobile terminal, the preset label is carried when the mobile terminal carries out data transmission in the instant messaging process through instant messaging software, and the preset label is a flow-free identifier.

And secondly, the IP address of the proxy server distributed by the distribution server for the mobile terminal is a preset IP address, and the preset IP address is the flow-free identifier.

In step S120, the proxy server may directly send the first instant messaging message to another electronic device after receiving the first instant messaging message sent by the mobile terminal, so as to implement that the mobile terminal communicates with the another electronic device through the instant messaging software, and based on different information sent to the proxy server before the distribution server, the proxy server may also perform some verification processes first, which is described by listing three verification processes in the following, but of course, in a specific implementation process, the present invention is not limited to the following three cases.

The data sent by the distribution server to the proxy server comprises a communication identifier and temporary verification information of the mobile terminal, in this case, the instant messaging message sent by the mobile terminal also comprises the temporary verification information, and the proxy server sends the instant messaging message to another electronic device when verifying that the instant messaging message is legal through the temporary verification information, so that the mobile terminal communicates with the other electronic device through the instant messaging software. The proxy server matches the temporary verification information sent by the mobile terminal with the temporary verification information sent by the distribution server, if the matching is successful, the instant communication message is legal, otherwise, the instant communication message is illegal. By the scheme, the safety of the instant messaging process based on the instant messaging software can be ensured.

If the data sent by the distribution server to the proxy server comprises the communication identification of the mobile terminal and the free residual flow information, the proxy server firstly judges whether the latest free residual flow of the mobile terminal is greater than the preset amount based on the free residual flow information after receiving the instant communication message; and when the latest free residual flow information is larger than the preset amount, the instant communication message is sent to another electronic device so as to realize that the mobile terminal communicates with the other electronic device through the instant communication software, and if the latest free residual flow information is not larger than the preset amount, the mobile terminal is informed to carry out instant communication through other access paths. Through the scheme, the specified service provider can provide a specific amount of free data flow to the mobile terminal.

If the distribution server judges that the free residual flow of the mobile terminal is greater than the preset amount, the proxy server does not need to judge whether the latest free residual flow (namely the free residual flow sent by the distribution server) is greater than the preset amount when receiving the instant communication message for the first time; the data traffic consumed by the instant communication request through the instant communication software is directly counted, and then the data traffic is subtracted from the free residual traffic sent by the distribution server, so that the latest free data traffic can be obtained; whether to send the instant messaging message to another electronic device can be determined subsequently by judging whether the latest free data flow is larger than a preset amount.

In addition, the proxy server can also count the data traffic information consumed by the mobile terminal according to a preset counting period, and acquire the latest free residual traffic information with traffic-free permission of the mobile terminal.

For example, the preset statistical period may be, for example, a preset statistical time interval, the preset statistical time interval may be, for example, 30s, 50s, 1min, and the like, and the proxy server may set a timer, acquire, every time the preset time interval arrives, the data traffic consumed by the mobile terminal counted in the current time interval, and obtain the latest free remaining traffic information of the mobile terminal based on the data traffic statistics.

The preset statistical period is, for example: the method comprises the steps that preset statistical flow is 512k, 1M and the like, a proxy server can monitor data flow consumed by the mobile terminal, and when the preset statistical flow is consumed, the latest free residual flow information of the mobile terminal is determined according to the preset statistical flow.

Through the scheme, the latest residual flow information of the mobile terminal can be ensured to be obtained in time.

Of course, after the proxy server counts the data traffic information consumed by the mobile terminal in the counting period, the proxy server may transmit the data traffic information to the distribution server, and the distribution server may count the latest free remaining traffic information of the mobile terminal.

After obtaining the data traffic information consumed by the mobile terminal, the distribution server can also send the data traffic information to the mobile terminal or inform the data traffic information when the mobile terminal inquires; or after determining the latest free remaining traffic information of the mobile terminal, the distribution server can also send the latest free remaining traffic information to the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal can further know the current traffic use condition, and then a better instant communication strategy is selected.

And thirdly, the data sent to the proxy server by the distribution server comprises a communication identifier of the mobile terminal, free residual flow information and temporary verification information, and under the condition, the proxy server sends the instant communication message to another electronic device when the instant communication message is verified to be legal by the temporary verification information and the latest free residual flow information is larger than a preset amount, so that the mobile terminal can communicate with the other electronic device through the instant communication software. By the scheme, the safety of the instant messaging process can be guaranteed, and the appointed service provider can be guaranteed to provide the preset amount of free flow to the mobile terminal.

In step S110, the first instant messaging message in the instant messaging process performed by the mobile terminal through the instant messaging software is uplink data, that is, data sent by the mobile terminal to another electronic device, and the second instant messaging message in step S140 is downlink data, that is, data sent by another electronic device to the mobile terminal, wherein the data traffic of at least one of the uplink data and the downlink data is counted in the data traffic consumed by the designated server.

For example, an instant messaging message sent by the mobile terminal includes a traffic exemption identifier, and data traffic corresponding to the instant messaging message is included in the specified service provider based on the traffic exemption identifier; another example is: the second instant messaging message contains a traffic exempt identifier and is also included in the data traffic consumed by the designated server based on the traffic exempt identifier.

In the specific implementation process, the data traffic in the instant messaging process based on the instant messaging software can be counted through a gateway arranged between the mobile terminal and the proxy server.

Aiming at the condition that the flow-free mark is a preset IP, after receiving an instant communication message sent by a mobile terminal, a corresponding gateway (or a charging system connected with a corresponding network) judges whether the IP of a next node corresponding to the instant communication message is the preset IP, if so, the data flow of the next node is counted into the data flow of a specified service provider, after receiving a returned instant communication message sent by a proxy server, the corresponding gateway (or the charging system connected with the corresponding network) judges whether the IP of the proxy server is the preset IP, and if so, the data flow of the proxy server is counted into the data flow of the specified service provider. In the case that the traffic-free identifier is a preset tag, after receiving an instant messaging message sent by the mobile terminal (or receiving requested data sent by the proxy server), the corresponding gateway (or a charging system connected to the corresponding network) determines whether the instant messaging message (or the requested data) contains the preset tag, and if the instant messaging message (or the requested data) contains the preset tag, the corresponding gateway adds the data traffic into the data traffic of the specified service provider.

In a specific implementation process, a mobile network operator adds part of data traffic generated in an instant messaging process through the proxy server by using instant messaging software into a specified service provider based on the traffic-free identifier, and there may be a plurality of cases, three of which are listed below for introduction, and certainly, in a specific implementation process, the mobile network operator is not limited to the following three cases.

Firstly, the data traffic of a specific proportion in the process of instant messaging of the mobile terminal through instant messaging software is counted to the specified service provider.

For example, the specific ratios are, for example: 50%, 70%, etc., wherein when the mobile terminal has a traffic-free authority (for example, the data transmission carries a traffic-free identifier) during the instant messaging process through the instant messaging software, the corresponding gateway (or a charging system connected to the corresponding network) credits a specific proportion of the gateway to a specified service provider, and credits the rest of the gateway to the communication identifier, for example: assuming that the mobile terminal consumes 10M of traffic in the instant messaging process, and the specific proportion is 50%, the charging system counts 5M of traffic into the designated service provider during charging, and counts the rest 5M of traffic into the communication identifier of the mobile terminal. Of course, the above data are by way of example only and not by way of limitation.

Secondly, a specific amount of data traffic is counted in the designated service provider during the instant messaging process of the mobile terminal through the instant messaging software.

For example, the specific number is, for example: 10M, 20M, etc., wherein when the mobile terminal has a traffic-free right in the process of instant messaging through instant messaging software, the corresponding gateway (or a charging system connected to the corresponding network) judges whether the data traffic in the process of instant messaging through the instant messaging software exceeds the specific amount after the process of instant messaging through the instant messaging software is finished, and if not, all the data traffic is counted into a specified service provider; if the number exceeds a certain number, no more than a portion of the data traffic is included in the designated service provider and more than a portion is included in the communication identification of the mobile terminal.

Thirdly, the data traffic of the specific content is counted to the appointed service provider in the process of the instant messaging of the mobile terminal through the instant messaging software.

For example, the specific content is, for example: when the mobile terminal has a traffic-free right in the process of instant messaging through the instant messaging software, the corresponding gateway (or a charging system connected with the corresponding network) acquires data transmitted in the process of instant messaging through the instant messaging software, then determines data such as characters and pictures from the data transmitted in the process of instant messaging through the instant messaging software, and records the corresponding data traffic into a specified service provider; while for other types of content, for example: and the video records the corresponding data flow into the communication identifier of the mobile terminal.

As a possible implementation manner, the crediting into the designated service provider includes: and the cost generated by the corresponding data flow is counted as the cost consumed by the account of the designated service provider.

For example, since the corresponding data traffic is charged to the specified service provider, and the mobile communication operator does not charge for one instant messaging process repeatedly, the corresponding data traffic is not charged to the identifier of the mobile terminal, and therefore, when the mobile communication operator charges, the charge generated by the mobile communication operator is charged to the charge consumed by the account of the specified service provider, so as to charge the specified service provider.

As an alternative embodiment, with continued reference to fig. 1, the method further includes:

step S150: the proxy server judges whether any instant communication message based on the instant communication software of the mobile terminal is received in a preset time period;

step S160: and if any instant messaging message of the mobile terminal based on the instant messaging software is not received within a preset time period, prompting that the mobile terminal logs out.

For example, the preset time period is, for example: 10min, 30min, 40min and so on, if the proxy server does not receive any instant messaging message sent by the mobile terminal within the preset time period, it indicates that the instant messaging process of the mobile terminal is finished, so that a corresponding prompt message can be generated. Further, the proxy server may also send the hint information to the distribution server after generating the hint information.

In this case, if the temporary authentication information is previously allocated to the current instant messaging process by the distribution server, the distribution server cancels the temporary authentication information based on the prompt information sent by the proxy server, and the proxy server also cancels the temporary authentication information. By the scheme, the distributed temporary verification information can be ensured to be only used as the verification information of the instant communication process, and new temporary verification information still needs to be generated in the next instant communication, so that the safety of the instant communication is improved.

As an alternative embodiment, if the proxy server prompts the instant messaging software of the mobile terminal to log off, please continue to refer to fig. 1, the method further includes:

step S170: the proxy server sends the initial communication time, the ending communication time and the consumed data traffic information of the mobile terminal through the instant messaging software to the distribution server;

step S180: and the distribution server counts the free residual flow of the mobile terminal based on the data flow information sent by the proxy server.

For example, the proxy server may send the distribution server the information shown in table 1:

TABLE 1

Starting time	End time	Consumed data traffic information
			2015-4-15 14:23	2015-4-15 14:44	1.6M

The total free data traffic distributed by the distribution server to the mobile terminal is assumed to be: 30M, and the mobile terminal has consumed 20M traffic before the instant messaging, it may be determined that the free remaining traffic of the mobile terminal after the instant messaging process is: 10M-1.6M ═ 8.4M. Of course, the above data traffic is by way of example only and not by way of limitation.

The distribution server and the proxy server introduced in the embodiment of the invention can be two servers with completely independent physical positions; the present invention may also be two different functional modules of the same server, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.
