Client live keeping method and apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium

A client live keeping method, performed by a terminal server, comprising:

• receiving a request from a terminal device, the request comprising state information of a target state of a client running on the terminal device at a current time and a target live keeping duration corresponding to the target state;
• determining whether the target state is permissible according to at least one of the state information of the target state or the target live keeping duration of the target state;
• and
• transmitting target information to the terminal device based on determining that the target state is permissible, the target information indicating live keeping information of the target state, and the target information causing the terminal device to determine whether to perform live keeping on the target state according to the target information.

A client live keeping apparatus, comprising:

• at least one memory configured to store program code;
• and
• at least one processor configured to read the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code including:
• request receiving code configured to cause the at least one processor to receive, based on a client being switched to a background, a request comprising state information of a target state of the client at a current time and a target live keeping duration corresponding to the target state;
• transmitting code configured to cause the at least one processor to transmit the request to a terminal server;
• information receiving code configured to cause the at least one processor to receive, from the terminal server in response to the request, target information indicating live keeping information of the target state;
• and
• determining code configured to cause the at least one processor to determine whether to perform live keeping on the target state based on the target information.
