Abstract

The embodiments of the present document provide an information push management method and device, herein the method includes: a communication terminal configures an advertisement information display switch of at least one WIFI hotspot in a WIFI hotspot list according to a control instruction; after receiving the information pushed by the WIFI hotspot, the communication terminal determines whether the advertisement information display switch of the WIFI hotspot pushing the information is ON when determining the information is advertisement information; if yes, the information is processed normally.

Claims

1. An information push management method, comprising:

a communication terminal configuring an advertisement information display switch of at least one WIFI hotspot in a WIFI hotspot list according to a control instruction;

the communication terminal receiving information pushed by the WIFI hotspot;

the communication terminal determining whether the advertisement information display switch of the WIFI hotspot pushing the information is ON when determining the information is advertisement information;

if yes, processing normally the information,

wherein, said configuring an advertisement information display switch according to a control instruction comprises;

before receiving the information pushed by the WIFI hotspot, the communication terminal directly receiving the control instruction sent by a user, and configuring the advertisement information display switch corresponding to the WIFI hotspot according to the control instruction;

or

the communication terminal displaying the information first pushed by the WIFI hotspot to a user, and receiving the control instruction fed back by the user, and configuring the advertisement information display switch corresponding to the WIFI hotspot according to the control instruction,

wherein a user can actively select whether to turn on the advertisement information display switch to receive the advertisement information to avoid the problem that the user passively receives a large amount of advertisement information without knowing it.

2. The information push management method according to claim 1, wherein, the communication terminal displaying the information first pushed by the WIFI hotspot to a user comprises:

the communication terminal acquiring summary information about the information, and displaying the acquired summary information to the user.

3. The information push management method according to claim 1, wherein, the communication terminal determining the information is advertisement information comprises:

determining whether the information is multimedia information.

4. The information push management method according to claim 3, wherein, determining whether the information is multimedia information comprises:

the communication terminal determining whether the information is the multimedia information according to a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions type in the information.

5. The information push management method according to claim 1, wherein, when the communication terminal determines the information is the advertisement information, the method further comprises:

when determining the advertisement information display switch of the WIFI hotspot pushing the information is OFF,

directly discarding the information or not displaying the information;

or

displaying the information to a user and prompting the user whether the information is processed normally.

6. The information push management method according to claim 1, wherein, the communication terminal configures the advertisement information display switch of the WIFI hotspot when the connection with the WIFI hotspot is not established.

7. A computer program comprising program instructions, when the program instructions are executed by a communication terminal, the communication terminal can implement the method of claim 1.

8. A carrier, carrying the computer program according to claim 7.

9. An information push management device, comprising a configuring module, a receiving module and a processing module;

the configuring module is configured to configure an advertisement information display switch of at least one WIFI hotspot in a wireless fidelity WIFI hotspot list according to a control instruction;

the receiving module is configured to receive information pushed by the WIFI hotspot;

the processing module is configured to, when determining the information is advertisement information, determine whether the advertisement information display switch of the WIFI hotspot pushing the information is ON;

if yes, process normally the information,

wherein, the receiving module is further configured to directly receive the control instruction sent by a user before receiving the information pushed by the WIFI hotspot; and

the configuring module is configured to configure the advertisement information display switch corresponding to the WIFI hotspot according to the control instruction;

or

the processing module is further configured to display the information first pushed by the WIFI hotspot to a user, the receiving module is further configured to receive the control instruction fed back by the user, and the configuring module is configured to configure the advertisement information display switch corresponding to the WIFI hotspot according to the control instruction,

wherein a user can actively select whether to turn on the advertisement information display switch to receive the advertisement information to avoid the problem that the user passively receives a large amount of advertisement information without knowing it.

10. The information push management device according to claim 9, wherein, the configuring module comprises a display unit;

the display unit is configured to, after the communication terminal acquires summary information about the information, display the acquired summary information to the user.

11. The information push management device according to claim 9, wherein, the processing module comprises a determining unit;

the determining unit is configured to determine whether the information is multimedia information.

12. The information push management device according to claim 11, wherein the determining unit is configured to determine whether the information is the multimedia information by determining a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions type in the information.

13. The information push management device according to claim 9, wherein the processing module is further configured to, when determining the information is the advertisement information and the advertisement information display switch of the WIFI hotspot pushing the information is OFF,

directly discard the information or not display the information;

display the information to a user and prompt the user whether the information is processed normally.

14. The information push management device according to claim 9, wherein the configuring module is configured to configure the advertisement information display switch of the WIFI hotspot when the connection between the communication terminal and the WIFI hotspot is not established.
