Abstract

A method and apparatus for sending a push message is provided. The method includes: comparing a content length of a content of a push message received from a push message initiator with a matching condition, wherein the matching condition comprising a maximum message length threshold specifying a maximum length allowed for the content of the push message; determining whether the content length of the content of the push message exceeds the maximum message length threshold; and sending the content of the push message to a push receiving agent of a terminal when the content length of the content of the push message does not exceed the maximum message length threshold.

Claims

1. A server with a push function, comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by the processor to perform operations comprising;

receiving a push message sent by a push message provider;

comparing the push message with a matching condition comprising a service control condition which specifies an application identifier (app ID) corresponding to a service that a terminal is allowed to receive; and

sending the push message to a push receiving agent in the terminal after determining that the push message matches the service that the terminal is allowed to receive.

2. The server according to claim 1, wherein the push message is a short message, and the service control condition specifies the app ID corresponding to a short message service (SMS) that the terminal is allowed to receive.

3. The server according to claim 1, wherein the push message is a multimedia message, and the service control condition specifies the app ID corresponding to a multimedia message service (MMS) that the terminal is allowed to receive.

4. A terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by the processor to perform operations comprising;

setting a push message control policy comprising a service control condition which specifies an application identifier (app ID) corresponding to a service that the terminal is allowed to receive;

receiving a push message sent by a server with a push function;

determining that the push message matches the service that the terminal is allowed to receive by comparing the received push message with the service control condition; and

after determining that the push message matches the service that the terminal is allowed to receive, sending the push message to an application module of the terminal to perform a service processing according to the push message.

5. The terminal according to claim 4, wherein the push message is a short message, and the service control condition specifies the app ID corresponding to a short message service (SMS) that the terminal is allowed to receive.

6. The terminal according to claim 4, wherein the push message is a multimedia message, and the service control condition specifies the app ID corresponding to a multimedia message service (MMS) that the terminal is allowed to receive.
