Abstract

A method for pushing micro-blogs is provided. The method is performed at micro-blog pushing server. In this method, a set of keywords is determined, each keyword is associated with at least one of micro-blogs received at a micro-blog receiving server, an index of the plurality of micro-blogs is created using the set of keywords, a subset of keywords, each having an interest value greater than a preset threshold, are obtained, micro-blogs associated with the obtained keywords are searched for, the searched out micro-blogs are sorted based on a timeline or based on relevancies of the micro-blogs to the keywords having interest values greater than a preset threshold, and then the sorted micro-blogs are pushed to the user. In addition, an apparatus, a system and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium related to the method are also provided.

obtaining the at least one content keyword, that is set by the user for the historical micro-blog after writing the historical micro-blog, as the content keyword having an interest value greater than the preset threshold.

6. The method according to claim 3,

wherein the subset of the keywords contain at least one geographical location information keyword, and

wherein the obtaining the subset of the keywords based on the historical micro-blog that the user has posted or listened to comprises:

recording a geographical location at which the historical micro-blog is transmitted; and

taking the geographical location as the geographical location information keyword having an interest value greater than the preset threshold.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the sorting the micro-blogs searched out based on the predefined rule comprises:

sorting the micro-blogs searched out based on at least one of a timeline, in which the micro-blogs are posted, or relevancies of the micro-blogs to the subset of the keywords.

8. A micro-blog pushing server, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, coupled to the processor, and including instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to;

determine a set of keywords, each being associated with at least one of a plurality of micro-blogs received by a micro-blog receiving server;

create an index of the plurality of micro-blogs using the set of the keywords;

obtain a subset of the keywords, each having an interest value greater than a preset threshold;

search in the index for micro-blogs associated with the subset of the keywords;

sort the micro-blogs searched out based on a predefined rule; and

transmit the sorted micro-blogs for the user.

9. The micro-blog pushing server according to claim 8, wherein the set of keywords contain content keywords, geographical location information keywords, or both.

10. The micro-blog pushing server according to claim 8, wherein the instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to obtain the subset of the keywords comprise at least one of the following instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:

receive the subset of the keywords input by the user;

receive the subset of the keywords selected by the user from what are provided from the micro-blog pushing server;

or

obtain the subset of the keywords based on a historical micro-blog that the user has posted or listened to.

11. The micro-blog pushing server according to claim 10, wherein the instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to obtain the subset of the keywords based on the historical micro-blog that the user has posted or listened to comprise at least one of the following instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:

match the historical micro-blog with the set of the keywords to determine whether the historical micro-blog contains one or more keywords that fall within the set of the keywords; and

when determining that the historical micro-blog contains one or more keywords that fall within the set of the keywords, take the one or more keywords as the subset of the keywords.
