Abstract
In a method in which a proxy is installed in a mobile telephone, this proxy has the role of simulating a service server to make a client application of the telephone believe that communication has truly been set up with a service server and thus obtain local processing, in the client apparatus, of the maximum number of the requests sent by the client application. Another role of this proxy is to engage in dialog with a network controller server. The network controller server substitutes itself for the client application for the polling and communicates with the proxy for the management of the requests sent by the client application.
Claims9
A method for the optimization of network traffic comprising a mobile client and a service server wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- a client application, executed by the mobile client, sends a first request intended for the service server,
- a local server program, executed by the mobile client, intercepts the first request intended for the service server,
- the local server program produces a resetting message from the contents of the first request, this resetting message comprising information, preferably an identifier and a password, enabling a controller server to assume the role of the client application, the resetting message also comprising information on a service server to be interrogated, this information being preferably its address on a network and its type,
- the local server program sends the resetting message to the controller server,
- the controller server receives the resetting message and gets parametrized as a function of the contents of the resetting message to send requests addressed to the service server.
