Reporting processing method, origin server and user client for user agent profile information

Abstract

The present invention discloses a reporting processing method for User Agent Profile (UAP) information including: issuing, by an origin server, a reporting policy to a user client to instruct the user client to report UAP information according to the reporting policy; and reporting, by the user client, the UAP information according to the reporting policy issued by the origin server. The invention also discloses an origin server including a reporting policy issuing unit adapted to issue a reporting policy to a user client to instruct the user client to report UAP information according to the reporting policy; and a UAP user client including a UAP information reporting unit adapted to report UAP information of the user client according to a reporting policy issued by the origin server. The invention can enable the user client in a UAP system to report the UAP information with more flexibility and diversity.
