acquiring, by the server, according to the information publishing terminal, an online status of the information receiving terminal, the online status being based on whether the information receiving terminal is opened at a front end of a user terminal that runs the information receiving terminal; and

sending, by the server, the published information to the information receiving terminal according to the online status of the information receiving terminal, comprising;

in response to the online status of the information receiving terminal being offline, pushing, by the server, the published information to the front end of the user terminal; and

in response to the online status of the information receiving terminal becoming online, receiving, by the information receiving terminal, the published information at the front end of the user terminal.

2. The information publishing method according to claim 1, wherein receiving the published information from the information publishing terminal and acquiring the online status of the information receiving terminal comprises:

after receiving the published information, sending, by the server an online detection request to the information receiving terminal corresponding to the information publishing terminal; and

acquiring, by the server, according to feedback information from the information receiving terminal on basis of the online detection request, the online status of the information receiving terminal.

3. The information publishing method according to claim 1, wherein acquiring the online status of the information receiving terminal from the database comprises:

sending, by the server an online detection request to the information receiving terminal at a preset time interval;

acquiring, by the server, according to feedback information of the online detection request, an online status of the information receiving terminal; and

storing the online status of the information receiving terminal in the database.

4. The information publishing method according to claim 1, wherein sending the published information to the information receiving terminal further comprises:

when the online status of the information receiving terminal is online, inserting the published information into an information stream publishing queue of the information receiving terminal.

5. The information publishing method according to claim 1, further comprising:

establishing the correspondence between the information publishing terminal and the information receiving terminal.

6. The information publishing method according to claim 5, wherein establishing the correspondence between the information publishing terminal and the information receiving terminal comprises:

establishing, by the server, according to an operation received by the information receiving terminal for establishing the correspondence with the information publishing terminal, the correspondence between the information receiving terminal and the information publishing terminal; and

storing the correspondence, wherein the operation includes a following operation or a subscription operation.

18. The information publishing method according to claim 3, wherein the preset time interval is determined based on a frequency at which published information is updated at the information receiving terminal or the information publishing terminal.

19. The information publishing method of claim 3, wherein the preset time interval is inversely correlated to a frequency at which published information is updated at the information receiving terminal or the information publishing terminal.

20. The information publishing method of claim 1, wherein the acquiring the online status of the information receiving terminal comprises determining that the information receiving terminal is offline in response to the information receiving terminal running at a back end of the user terminal.

7. An information publishing device applied to an information publishing terminal and a server in communication with an information receiving terminal, wherein the server comprises a database storing a correspondence between the information publishing terminal and the information receiving terminal, comprising:

a receiving and acquiring module configured to receive published information from the information publishing terminal and acquire, according to the information publishing terminal, an online status of a corresponding information receiving terminal, the online status being based on whether the information receiving terminal is opened at a front end of a user terminal that runs the information receiving terminal; and

an information sending module configured to send the published information to the information receiving terminal according to the online status of the information receiving terminal, the sending the published information comprising;

in response to the online status of the information receiving terminal being offline, pushing the published information to the front end of the user terminal.

8. The information publishing device according to claim 7, wherein receiving the published information from the information publishing terminal and acquiring the online status of the information receiving terminal comprises:

after receiving the published information, sending an online detection request to an information receiving terminal corresponding to the information publishing terminal; and

acquiring, according to feedback information of the online detection request, an online status of the information receiving terminal.

9. The information publishing device according to claim 7, wherein acquiring the online status of the information receiving terminal from the database comprises:

sending an online detection request to the information receiving terminal at a preset time interval;

acquiring, according to feedback information from the information receiving terminal on the basis of the online detection request, an online status of the information receiving terminal; and

storing the online status of the information receiving terminal in the database.

10. The information publishing device according to claim 7, wherein sending the published information to the information receiving terminal comprises:

when the online status of the information receiving terminal is online, inserting the published information into an information stream publishing queue of the information receiving terminal.

11. The information publishing device according to claim 7, further comprising:
