Method and terminal for automatically backing up channel unread data of RSS service

The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and a terminal for automatically backing up unread data of a channel by a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) service. Background technique

RSS is a message source format specification for publishing websites that update frequently, such as blog posts, news, audio, or video feeds. RSS builds a technology platform for rapid dissemination of information, making everyone a potential provider of information. The RSS client provides the user with an RSS subscription function on the terminal, through which the user can freely subscribe to any RSS source published on the Internet. Through RSS, users can open a website without a website, a web page, or a web page, as long as the content is aggregated and subscribed to the RSS reader. In short, the RSS service is to provide a more convenient and efficient Internet information. The way to publish and share, to achieve the purpose of sharing more information in less time.

Currently, there are two main ways to update content on the RSS client:

1) initiated by the user, that is, the user manually selects an update operation on the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal actively updates the RSS channel requested by the user;

2) The terminal is automatically updated. Currently, almost all RSS clients have this function, that is, the user sets the channel that needs to be automatically updated, and sets the period or frequency of automatic update. When the time is up, the RSS client will automatically Initiate an update of the user-specified channel.

1 is a flow chart of channel update currently performed by a conventional RSS client. The specific steps are as follows: Step S101: The user manually or the client automatically initiates an update operation of the subscribed channel, such as one or more channels such as "Sina Sports".

Step S2023: The server delivers the currently released latest channel content (updated channel data) to the mobile terminal according to the data request message of the terminal.

Here, the server may also directly send the updated channel data to the terminal periodically or after the channel is updated.

Step S2024: After receiving the updated channel data, the terminal parses the downloaded content. Step S2025: According to the automatic backup policy, it is detected whether the channel needs to be backed up, and the target folder of the backup is detected. That is, it is detected whether the user has set an automatic backup of the unread data of the channel, and if yes, the process goes to step S2027; otherwise, the process goes to step S2026.

Step S2026: The updated channel is not set to automatically back up the unread data, and the offline data of the channel is directly updated according to the updated content on the server, regardless of whether the data in the channel is unread, that is, the deleted data on the server is deleted on the terminal. Delete the data and save the channel data after the server is updated.

Step S2027: The updated channel is set to automatically back up unread data, according to the user's preset Set, automatically back up the channel data in the local offline data of the channel that has been deleted by the server and not read by the user to the specified folder or channel, that is: when a channel item of the channel has been read and deleted by the server, The channel item will also be deleted in the local offline data (data on the terminal RSS client), but when the channel item is unread locally and has been deleted by the server, it will be dumped to the specified local (terminal) directory; Then, update its local offline data based on the updated content on the server.

Step S2028: The terminal completes data processing of the channel.

Step S2029: If the update of the plurality of channels is performed this time, it is judged whether the other channels need to be updated, if yes, then go to step S2021 and repeat the above steps S2021-2028; if no, go to step S2030.
