US 8,620,992 B2 · Method, system and device for reporting user agent profile information

Abstract

A method, system, and device for reporting User Agent Profile (UAP) information are disclosed. In the embodiments of the invention, UAP information is associated with an attribute group label, and a client identifies the attribute group label and reports UAP attribute information associated with the identified attribute group label to a server side according to the identified attribute group label, thereby avoiding reporting all UAP attribute information and further saving network resources. Moreover, in the case that a change occurs in the value of a device capability UAP attribute of a terminal or in the attribute group label of the server side, if such a change affects an existing service, the client only needs to send the changed device capability UAP information to the server side, thereby further avoiding transmitting a large volume of UAP information and further saving the network resources.

Dependent claims

A method for reporting User Agent Profile (UAP) information, comprising:

receiving, by a client located in a terminal device, an attribute group label issued by a server side;
identifying, by the client, an attribute group according to an association between the attribute group label and the attribute group issued by the server side, the attribute group comprising a preset group of UAP attributes, wherein the UAP attribute represents a device capability of the terminal device;
obtaining and reporting, by the client, a UAP attribute contained in the attribute group and a value of the UAP attribute to the server side;
wherein the client detects a change of the value of the UAP attribute, determines that the change of the value of the UAP attribute affects an existing service, and obtains the value of the changed UAP attribute and reports the changed UAP attribute and the value of the changed UAP attribute to the server side.

1 more element

A system for reporting User Agent Profile (UAP) information, comprising:

a client located in a terminal device having a processor, configured to communicate with a server side, wherein:
the server side comprises an attribute group label issuing module, configured to issue a message containing an attribute group label;
and
the client comprises an attribute group identifying and processing module configured to identify an attribute group according to an association between the attribute group label and the attribute group issued by the server side, and to obtain and report a UAP attribute contained in the attribute group and the value of the UAP attribute to the server side,
wherein the attribute group comprises a preset group of UAP attributes, and the UAP attribute represents a device capability of the terminal device;
wherein the client further comprises a UAP information detection module configured to detect a change of the value of the UAP attribute, determine that the change of the value of the UAP attribute affects an existing service, and instruct the attribute group identifying and processing module to obtain the value of the changed UAP attribute and report the changed UAP attribute and the value of the changed UAP attribute to the server side.

3 more elements

A terminal device having a processor for reporting User Agent Profile (UAP) information, comprising a client, wherein:

the client stores an association of an attribute group and an attribute group label, and comprises an attribute group identifying and processing module, configured to identify the attribute group according to the association between the attribute group label and the attribute group, and to obtain and report a UAP attribute contained in the attribute group and a value of the UAP attribute to a service side;
wherein the attribute group comprises a preset group of UAP attributes, and the UAP attribute represents a device capability of the terminal device;
wherein the client further comprises a UAP information detection module configured to detect a change of the value of the UAP attribute, determine that the change of the value of the UAP attribute affects an existing service, and instruct the attribute group identifying and processing module to obtain the value of the changed UAP attribute and report the changed UAP attribute and the value of the changed UAP attribute to the server side.
