Intelligent heartbeat keeping method and system

The invention provides an intelligent heartbeat keeping method and system. The method comprises the steps that a heartbeat test is conducted according to a current heartbeat packet time interval when it is monitored that intelligent heartbeat self-adaptive computing conditions are met; when test success conditions are met, a predetermined heartbeat increased step length is added to the current heartbeat packet time interval to serve as a new current heartbeat packet time interval, and the step that the current heartbeat packet time interval is adopted to conduct the heartbeat test is executed again; when test failure conditions are met, a stable heartbeat packet time interval is determined according to the current heartbeat packet time interval. According to the scheme, a heartbeat packet time interval which adapts to a current network environment, can maintain network connection and is as large as possible can be obtained; due to the fact that the heartbeat packet time interval is as large as possible, the electric quantity, flow and network resources can also be saved to some extent.
