Background technology
The E-mail address is used to storage of email messages.Email links to each other with the internet, collects mail and the email message of posting a letter so that the user sends and receives.These mailboxes can also be extended to via wireless network and transmit Email to mobile radio communication device.With regard to company, the E-mail address normally is arranged on the mail server of company.On the other hand, small business or individual's mailbox is set on the mail server at ISP (ISP) place usually.
Mail user agent (MUA) uses so-called poll (polling) technology message to be delivered to the mailer of subscriber computer or mobile radio communication device from mail server.MUA a kind ofly operates in the program on the individual subscriber calculation element (move or fixing) or operates in program on the share service device, a large amount of these users' of share service device inspection representative new mail.More particularly, poll be on the mail server from the retrieval of other user's collection of letters message, and these message are sent to user's mailbox.
The mailbox poll normally occurs with the different time intervals or speed.In addition, can customize the mailbox poll rate.That is to say that company and/or ISP can change the time interval of poll, so that can satisfy their special requirement best.For example, owing to be used for the normally communication of high priority of Email of business correspondence, therefore poll Company Mail server more regularly is such as carried out poll every 1 or 2 minute.On the other hand, the frequency of poll ISP mailbox is less usually, for example once every 15 minutes.
Usually with preset time the mailbox poll takes place synchronously on mail server at interval.Mailbox on the server is carried out poll, thereby send or receive message, and no matter whether mailbox has any new collection of letters or the message of posting a letter.In large scale system, this traditional polling method can consume a large amount of server resources, thereby influences performance.
More particularly, this resource consumption can be divided into two parts, i.e. resource consumption (RC) and the resource consumption on MUA on mail server (MS).Resource consumption on RC or MS increases along with poll frequency, and is especially when MUA operates on the portable radio, high especially for the demand of resource.When using mobile radio communication device, the influence of this resource consumption and correlated performance is responsive especially.This is that mobile radio communication device is to communicate with mail server on wireless network because the bandwidth constraints relevant with wireless network causes.For example, after each polling interval, may need to send to message data hundreds of or even thousands of mobile radio communication device as the mail server of thousands of or more mailbox main frames.This is the radio jamming network seriously, and produces very large service delay.In addition, some mail servers may and be not suitable for supporting this use pattern.
Therefore, when one or more conditions below meeting, traditional mailbox poll just can not be carried out well, and these conditions are: a large amount of mailbox of (1) poll; (2) poll frequency height; (3) MUA is in on the slow and/or expensive network of the connection of MS; (4) Lei Ji poll live load may overwhelm the capacity of network.A kind of existing method that is used to address this is that is an adaptive polling.Adaptive polling is a kind of method of the more intelligent poll mailbox based on trigger event.More particularly, adaptive polling automatically changes user's polling interval based on trigger event.
As example, the U.S. patent No. 6,557,026 has been described and a kind of information has been converted to the system of audio format from text formatting, in this system, via the wired or wireless communication link information is sent to client apparatus from server.Particularly, this information relates to " report (story) ", such as headline, stock quotation etc.This server comprises data source monitor, and it is based on poll timetable (scheduler) polling data source termly, to check new report.This patent is mentioned the poll timetable especially can comprise the adaptive scheduling program, and it is along with the arrival rate of new report increases poll frequency.In addition, along with reducing of the arrival rate of new report, this adaptive scheduling program reduces poll rate.For example, also comprise static schedulers, being used to the time of being on duty per hour provides once poll.
Although there is this system, being desirably in the polling technique aspect has further improvement, so that adapt to the application of growing mobile radio communication device visit electronic information.
