20140143316 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR ACQUIRING OBJECT - The present invention discloses a method, an apparatus, and a system for acquiring an object. The method includes: receiving a request of a client, where the request includes identifier information of a target object requested by the client; determining, according to the identifier information of the target object, whether the target object has one or more associated objects; when the target object has one or more associated objects, adding association indication information to the target object, and sending the target object to the client; after finishing sending the target object, sending verification information to the client, so that the client verifies the associated objects of the target object according to the verification information; determining a target associated object from the associated objects according to verification result information of the client; and sending the target associated object to the client. | 2014-05-22 |
20140143317 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A PROTOCOL FOR MESSAGE DATA - Described herein are systems and methods for enabling access to messages on a message service system via user interfaces of receiving client devices. The message service system comprises a message storage system and a message access system. The message storage system receives messages from sending client devices and stores message data. The message access system comprises a message server and UI server. A receiving client device is connected with the UI server through a first HTTP connection for receiving UI data for building webpages of the user interface and is connected with the message server through a second non-HTTP connection for receiving message data for populating the webpages. The UI data does not comprise any message data. A client protocol engine on the receiving client device and a server protocol engine on the message server define and provide the non-HTTP protocol for receiving and transmitting message data. | 2014-05-22 |
