Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a method and system for offline attendance processing. During operation, the system may detect an attendance triggering event occurring on a preset page displayed on a client device. The system may determine whether a predetermined data transmission condition is satisfied. In response to determining that the predetermined data transmission condition is not satisfied, the system may buffer, at the client device, attendance-related data corresponding to the attendance triggering event. In response to determining that the predetermined data transmission condition is satisfied, the system may transmit the attendance-related data to a server.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method for offline attendance processing, comprising:
detecting an attendance triggering event occurring on a preset page displayed on a client device;
determining whether a predetermined data transmission condition is satisfied;
in response to determining that the predetermined data transmission condition is not satisfied, buffering, at the client device, attendance-related data corresponding to the attendance triggering event;
in response to determining that the predetermined data transmission condition is satisfied, transmitting the attendance-related data to a server;
determining that attendance rules stored on the client device are not applicable to an occurrence time of the attendance triggering event;
obtaining one or more attendance rules applicable to the occurrence time from the server; and
obtaining first attendance status information by matching up data describing the attendance triggering event with the applicable attendance rules.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined data transmission condition includes at least one of requiring a connection to a predetermined network and requiring a strength level of a network signal to reach a predetermined value.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
reading the attendance rules stored on the client device; and
applying at least one attendance rule to data describing the attendance triggering event to obtain second attendance status information, wherein the attendance-related data includes the second attendance status information.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
in response to determining that the predetermined data transmission condition is not satisfied, generating an update request related to the attendance rules stored on the client device;
sending the update request to the server after the predetermined data transmission condition is satisfied; and
updating the attendance rules stored on the client device.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to determining that the predetermined data transmission condition is satisfied, exchanging data with the server,
wherein the attendance-related data includes the first attendance status information.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the attendance-related data includes description information associated with the attendance triggering event, thereby allowing the server to obtain second attendance status information based on the description information and predefined attendance rules.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving an attendance status notification message pushed by the server; and
displaying the second attendance status information included in the attendance status notification message.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying reminding information corresponding to a satisfaction status in or near an attendance triggering area on a front-end attendance page, wherein the attendance triggering area is used to trigger an attendance triggering event.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying reminding information corresponding to a transmission condition on or near an attendance-related data presentation area on a predetermined page.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting a second attendance triggering event occurring on a preset attendance page of an instant messaging application;
determining whether a network connection is established;
in response to determining that the network connection is not established, buffering second attendance-related data corresponding to the second attendance triggering event; and
in response to determining that the network connection is restored, transmitting the second attendance-related data to the server.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
reading attendance rules stored with the instant messaging application; and
obtaining attendance status information by matching up the attendance rules with data describing the second attendance triggering event, wherein the attendance-related data includes the second attendance status information.

12. A computing system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more processors storing instructions stored that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform a method for offline attendance processing, the method comprising:
detecting an attendance triggering event occurring on a preset page displayed on a client device in an offline state;
determining whether a predetermined data transmission condition is satisfied;
in response to determining that the predetermined data transmission condition is not satisfied, buffering attendance-related data corresponding to the attendance triggering event;
in response to determining that the predetermined data transmission condition is satisfied, transmitting the attendance-related data to a server;
determining that attendance rules stored on the client device are not applicable to an occurrence time of the attendance triggering event;
obtaining one or more attendance rules applicable to the occurrence time from the server; and
obtaining first attendance status information by matching up data describing the attendance triggering event with the applicable attendance rules.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the predetermined data transmission condition includes at least one of requiring a connection to a predetermined network and requiring a network signal to reach a predetermined threshold strength.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises:
reading the attendance rules stored on the client device; and
applying at least one attendance rule to data describing the attendance triggering event to obtain second attendance status information, wherein the attendance-related data includes the second attendance status information.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the method further comprises:
in response to determining that the predetermined data transmission condition is not satisfied, generating an update request related to the attendance rules stored on the client device;
sending the update request to the server after the predetermined data transmission condition is satisfied; and
updating the attendance rules stored on the client device.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for offline attendance processing, the method comprising:
detecting an attendance triggering event occurring on a preset page displayed on a client device in an offline state;
determining whether a predetermined data transmission condition is satisfied;
in response to determining that the predetermined data transmission condition is not satisfied, buffering attendance-related data corresponding to the attendance triggering event;
in response to determining that the predetermined data transmission condition is satisfied, transmitting the attendance-related data to a server;
determining that attendance rules stored on the client device are not applicable to an occurrence time of the attendance triggering event;
obtaining one or more attendance rules applicable to the occurrence time from the server; and
obtaining first attendance status information by matching up data describing the attendance triggering event with the applicable attendance rules.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , whe
