As shown in FIG. 6, the method may include the following steps: Step S602: A user sets a present according to his or her preferences in a widget management setting menu item. The update frequency of the terminal network traffic data. This update frequency indicates how long the interval is, the widget engine performs an update of the network traffic data value. It should be noted that before this step, the terminal should already have the ability to support the widget service. Step S604, starting a specific widget application for statistically displaying online data traffic on the terminal side, the widget application is a specially developed widget application, and the runtime interface is to display the network traffic data generated by the local machine or the local month. The remaining monthly package flow data that can be used. Step S606, the widget engine on the terminal processes the query request instruction for generating the network traffic data, and the data information attached to the command must contain the value of the interval that the user has set in step S602. In step S608, the query request command may perform communication registration to the server side through a protocol such as HTTP, and notify the server side to perform an operation of feeding back the network traffic data size to the terminal every interval interval. Step S610, after receiving the terminal side query request instruction, the server side parses the instruction, and records the value of the interval therein, and then completes the network traffic data size statistics of the terminal that obtains the initiation request every interval interval of the interval. operating. Step S612, the server side generates the notification message data packet according to the PUSH message body format specified by the WAP PUSH protocol. Step S614, the generated notification message data packet is transmitted from the server side to the terminal side by using a WAP PUSH protocol transmission method. Step S616, the terminal side performs the parsing of the PUSH message, so as to obtain the current network traffic data size value information of the current terminal. Since the server side sends a notification message packet every interval interval, the terminal side also needs to parse the PUSH message every interval of the interval. Step S618, the terminal side transmits the network traffic data size value parsed from the PUSH message to the widget application that has been started in step S604, and the widget application refreshes the running interface immediately after receiving the new data. This ensures that the widget application running interface performs a display refresh every interval of interval. Therefore, the network traffic data of the terminal is correctly displayed when the widget application is running. Through the above steps, a method for managing terminal network traffic data through a widget application is realized. The network traffic widget statistical method can actively obtain traffic data from the server side as needed, and provides a new idea of network traffic management on the terminal, and through the widget. The form displays the results and improves the end user experience.
