Abstract

A method for controlling data transmission between a client device and a server is provided. The method includes the following steps: generating control information according to a data access rate of the client device and a data report rate of the server; and referring to the control information to manage at least one of a data access operation of the client device and a data reporting operation of the server.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for controlling data transmission between a client device and a server, comprising:
 generating control information according to a data access rate of the client device and a data report rate of the server; and   referring to the control information to manage at least one of a data access operation of the client device and a data reporting operation of the server.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of referring to the control information to manage the at least one of the data access operation and the data reporting operation comprises:
 when the control information indicates that the data access rate is different from the data report rate, adjusting the at least one of the data access rate and the data report rate according to the control information.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of referring to the control information to manage the at least one of the data access operation and the data reporting operation comprises:
 adjusting one of the data access rate and the data report rate to the other of the data access rate and the data report rate according to the control information.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of referring to the control information to manage the at least one of the data access operation and the data reporting operation comprises:
 adjusting each of the data access rate and the data report rate to a predetermined rate according to the control information.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of referring to the control information to manage the at least one of the data access operation and the data reporting operation comprises:
 when the control information indicates that the data access rate is greater than the data report rate, storing data transmitted by the server, and providing the stored data for the client device at the data access rate.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of generating the control information according to the data access rate of the client device and the data report rate of the server comprises:
 comparing the data access rate with the data report rate to generate the control information.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of generating the control information according to the data access rate of the client device and the data report rate of the server comprises:
 registering the client device to obtain data access information of the client device, and registering the server to obtain data report information of the server; and   referring to the data access rate indicated by the data access information and the data report rate indicated by the data report information to generate the control information.   
     
     
         8 . An apparatus for controlling data transmission, comprising:
 a transmission circuit, arranged for receiving data transmitted by a server, and providing the data received from the server for a client device; and   a controller, coupled to the transmission circuit, the controller arranged for generating control information according to a data access rate of the client device and a data report rate of the server, and referring to the control information to manage at least one of a data access operation of the client device and a data reporting operation of the server.   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein when the control information indicates that the data access rate is different from the data report rate, the controller adjusts the at least one of the data access rate and the data report rate according to the control information in order to manage the at least one of the data access operation and the data reporting operation. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the controller adjusts one of the data access rate and the data report rate to the other of the data access rate and the data report rate according to the control information in order to manage the at least one of the data access operation and the data reporting operation. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the controller adjusts each of the data access rate and the data report rate to a predetermined rate according to the control information in order to manage the at least one of the data access operation and the data reporting operation. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein when the control information indicates that the data access rate is greater than the data report rate, the controller controls the transmission circuit to store the data received from the server and provide the stored data for the client device at the data access rate in order to manage the at least one of the data access operation and the data reporting operation. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the controller compares the data access rate with the data report rate to generate the control information. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the controller further registers the client device to obtain data access information of the client device, registers the server to obtain data report information of the server, and refers to the data access rate indicated by the data access information and the data report rate indicated by the data report information to generate the control information. 
     
     
         15 . An apparatus for controlling data transmission, comprising:
 a transmission circuit, arranged for performing a data access operation to access data transmitted by a server at a data access rate; and   a controller, coupled to the transmission circuit, the controller arranged for generating control information according to the data access rate and a data report rate of the server, and referring to the control information to manage at least one of the data access operation and a data reporting operation of the server.   
     
     
         16 . An apparatus for controlling data transmission, comprising:
 a transmission circuit, arranged for performing a data reporting operation to transmit data to a client device at a data report rate; and   a controller, coupled to the transmission circuit, the controller arranged for generating control information according to a data access rate of the client device and the data report rate, and referring to the control information to manage at least one of the data reporting operation and a data access operation of the client device.
