## 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

### Claim 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.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

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.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

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.

### Claim 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.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

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.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

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.
