Method and System for Updating Security Information

摘要

A method for updating security information is applied to a system including an information service provider and mobile devices. The information service provider includes a server and a database, in which the server provides security information to the mobile devices and each of the security information is related individually to a security code. The information service provider can transmit updated security information to the mobile devices in an active-push manner in communicative off-peak hours, and at the same time each of the mobile devices would be automatically waken up and connected with the service-provider so as to receive the updated security information. While the mobile device is to request additional information, the passive-pull transmission manner can then be applied by the mobile device to obtain the additional information from the information service provider. Thus, merits of both the active push transmission and the passive pull transmission can be obtained.

1. A method for updating security information, applied to an information service provider, the information service provider including a server and a database, the server providing at least one security information to at least one distant mobile device, each of the at least one security information being related individually to a security code; the method for updating security information comprising the steps of:
Step (A): the server storing internally an information definition table, the information definition table including a plurality of information names, each of the information names being respectively related to an information code and an information-processing time contained in the information definition table, the information name being an information format of the security information, the information code being respectively related to a code number of the corresponding information name, the information-processing time indicating a download time to download the security information of the corresponding information name; Step (B): according to the information definition table and within the download time indicated by the information-processing time in the information definition table, the server downloading the information name corresponding to the information-processing time or every said security information matching the information code from a foreign information source, then storing each of the downloaded security information into the database, and updating a plurality of information updating tables pre-stored in the database accordingly, wherein each the security code is correspondingly related to one of the information updating tables stored in the database, and each of the corresponding information updating tables records every said information code of the security information and a previous update time related to the corresponding security code; Step (C): according to the plurality of information updating tables, the server generating an information-transmitting schedule accounting to the individual security code corresponding to each said updated security information, the information-transmitting schedule including a transmission time related to the security code, an information-starting date and an information-ending date related both to the corresponding information code; wherein a time duration between the information-starting date and the information-ending date is defined as a previous-updated period for the security information related to the information code of the security code; and Step (D): during the transmission time included in the information-transmitting schedule, the server transmitting the corresponding security information within the previous-updated period to each of the at least one mobile device connected with the server during the transmission time.
