A method and apparatus for predicting traffic, comprising: determining time at which payment times for a first service reaches a peak as designated time; determining a peak of payment times for a second service in history as a historical peak according to a saved historical record; and predicting the actual traffic of the second service at the designated time according to the historical peak, wherein the first service and the second service belong to the same type of services, the execution manner of the first service is different from that of the second service, the service execution time of the first service is shorter than a preset duration, and the service execution time of the second service is longer than the preset duration. The present application can provide a more accurate reference for the operation and maintenance procedure of the server.

Method and device for predicting traffic

A method uses web servers to promulgate information from one server to another, instead of promulgating the information by the user to each server individually. A first server receives a first request for promulgating web-information from a user, locally promulgates the web-information, and sends a second request to at least one second website server to instruct the second website server to locally promulgate the web-information. The selection of the second server is done according to a preset configuration file which includes a relationship mapping between the first website server and the second website server. The relationship mapping may provide the user information related to the second website server based on the user information related to the first website server. The present disclosure further discloses a communication apparatus and a communication system.

Promulgating information on websites using servers

A connection establishment method includes receiving a service connection request sent by a first client, wherein the service connection request comprises a service identifier and a client identifier of a second client requested for connection, acquiring connection reference information, and when it is determined that the connection reference information satisfies a service restriction condition corresponding to the service identifier, establishing a connection between the first client and the second client corresponding to the client identifier.

Connection establishment method and device

Exchanging information via a designated application includes establishing a voice communication link with a client device; sending a launch command associated with a designated application to the client device via the voice communication link, wherein upon receiving the launch command, the client device is caused to launch the designated application; and exchanging information with the client device through the designated application.

Launching a designated application using a set of signals

A method for verifying a user of a mobile device is provided. The method includes selecting a numerical value and generating a direction image based on the numerical value. The direction image may indicate a first position on the direction image and a second position on the mobile device when the direction image is initially displayed on the mobile device. The direction image may have a center point and the numerical value may correspond a central angle between the first position and the second position. The method may further include sending, to the mobile device, the direction image and a command to rotate the mobile device according to the direction image and receiving a magnetometric numerical value detected by the mobile device using a magnetometer. The method may further include determining whether to allow access of a server by the user based on the magnetometric numerical value.

Verification method and device using a magnetometer

Exchanging information via a designated application includes establishing a voice communication link with a client device, sending a launch command associated with a designated application to the client device via the voice communication link, wherein the launch command is configured to cause the designated application to be launched at the client device; and exchanging information with the client device using the designated application, wherein the designated application is configured to receive input information and the input information is received from the client device.
