Abstract

An information sending method and an information sending apparatus are provided, which relate to the field of wireless communication processing technologies. A method includes receiving target information sent to at least one target receiving device by a sender, and determining, according to state information of a receiver device corresponding to the at least one target receiving device, a forwarding policy of forwarding the target information to the receiver device. A sending policy can be determined according to state information of a receiver device, so that a receiver acquires information as much as it does not change a current state, thereby improving user experience of the receiver.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a device comprising a processor, target information sent to at least one target receiving device by a sender; and

determining, according to state information of a receiver device corresponding to the at least one target receiving device, a forwarding policy of forwarding the target information to the receiver device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

acquiring the state information of the receiver device corresponding to the at least one target receiving device.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the acquiring the state information of the receiver device corresponding to the at least one target receiving device comprises:

sending a request for acquiring the state information; and

receiving an acknowledgement to the request, the acknowledgement comprising the state information.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the sending the request for acquiring the state information comprises:

sending the request in response to receipt of the target information.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the state information comprises at least one of an application state or a system state of the at least one target receiving device.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the application state comprises an application that is currently executing.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the determining, according to the state information of the receiver device corresponding to the at least one target receiving device, the forwarding policy of forwarding the target information to the receiver device comprises:

determining the forwarding policy according to the application state of the at least one target receiving device.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the determining, according to the state information of the receiver device corresponding to the at least one target receiving device, the forwarding policy of forwarding the target information to the receiver device comprises:

determining the forwarding policy of forwarding the target information in a manner corresponding to an application currently executing on the at least one target receiving device.

9. The method of claim 5, wherein in determining, according to the state information of the receiver device corresponding to the at least one target receiving device, the forwarding policy of forwarding the target information to the receiver device comprises:

determining the forwarding policy according to the system state of the at least one target receiving device.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the system state comprises an on or off state of a current screen and a current reminder mode.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the reminder mode comprises at least one of a visual reminder, an audio reminder, or a touch reminder.

12. The method of claim 5, wherein the determining, according to the state information of the receiver device corresponding to the at least one target receiving device, the forwarding policy of forwarding the target information to the receiver device comprises:

determining the forwarding policy according to the at least one of the application state or the system state of the at least one target receiving device.

13. The method of claim 6, wherein the state information further comprises at least one of an application state or a system state of another device associated with the at least one target receiving device.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the determining, according to the state information of the receiver device corresponding to the at least one target receiving device, the forwarding policy of forwarding the target information to the receiver device comprises:

determining the forwarding policy according to the at least one of application state or the system state of the at least one target receiving device and at least one of the application state or the system state of the other device associated with the at least one target receiving device.

15. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

forwarding the target information according to the forwarding policy.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the forwarding the target information according to the forwarding policy comprises:

encapsulating the target information according to the forwarding policy.

17. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

sending an information forwarding reminder to a sender device corresponding to the target information.

18. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor, coupled to a memory, that executes or facilitates execution of executable modules, comprising;

an information receiving module configured to receive target information sent to a target receiving device by a sender; and

a policy determination module configured to determine, according to state information of a receiver device corresponding to the target receiving device, a forwarding policy relating to forwarding the target information to the receiver device.

19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the executable modules further comprise:

an information acquisition module configured to acquire the state information of the receiver device corresponding to the target receiving device.

20. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the information acquisition module comprises:

a request unit configured to send a request to acquire the state information; and

an acknowledgement receiving unit configured to receive an acknowledgement to the request, the acknowledgement comprising the state information.

21. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein the request unit sends the request in response to receipt of the target information.

22. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the policy determination module determines the forwarding policy according to an application state of the target receiving device.

23. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the policy determination module comprises:

a first policy determination unit configured to determine the forwarding policy relating to forwarding the target information as a function of an application currently executing on the target receiving device.

24. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the policy determination module determines the forwarding policy according to a system state of the target receiving device.

25. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the policy determination module determines the forwarding policy according to an application state or a system state of the target receiving device.

26. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the policy determination module determines the forwarding policy according to an application state or a system state of the target receiving device and another application state or another system state of another device associated with the target receiving device.

27. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the executable modules further comprise:

a forwarding module configured to forward the target information according to the forwarding policy.

28. The apparatus of claim 27, wherein the forwarding module comprises:

a conversion unit configured to encapsulate the target information according to the forwarding policy.

29. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the executable modules further comprise:

a reminder module configured to send an information forwarding reminder to a sender device corresponding to the target information.

30. A computer readable storage device, comprising at least one executable instruction, which, in response to execution, causes a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

receiving target information sent to at least one target receiving device by a sender; and

determining, according to state information of a receiver device corresponding to the at least one target receiving device, a forwarding policy applicable to forwarding the target information to the receiver device.
