Method, device and storage medium for message communication

An electronic device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, causing the electronic device to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from a server device via a communication link between the client device and the server device, duration information indicating a duration for which an application in the client device is required to remain in an active state;
• transmitting, in response to receiving a notification message, the notification message to the server device via the communication link;
• controlling, in response to the transmitting of the notification message, the application to remain in the active state at least for the indicated duration, wherein the communication link is maintained while the application is in the active state;
• and
• receiving, from the server device via the communication link, a summary message determined based on at least one notification message transmitted from the client device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, the computer-executable instructions being executable by a processor to implement operations comprising:

• receiving, from a server device via a communication link between the client device and the server device, duration information indicating a duration for which an application in the client device is required to remain in an active state;
• transmitting, in response to receiving a notification message, the notification message to the server device via the communication link;
• controlling, in response to the transmitting of the notification message, the application to remain in the active state at least for the indicated duration, wherein the communication link is maintained while the application is in the active state;
• and
• receiving, from the server device via the communication link, a summary message determined based on at least one notification message transmitted from the client device.
