The embodiment of the invention provides a
server access method and device and a terminal. According to the serer
access method, by comparing first data with second data returned when a
server responds to last access when receiving the first data returned when the
server responds to present access, regulating a time interval of accessing the server next time according to a comparison result, setting timing time of a
timer according to the regulated time interval and accessing the server when the timing time is up, a
client can access the server in the varying time interval according to data rules in the server, so that access times during a data stabilization period are reduced, access times during a data varying period are increased, not only traffic and an
electricity quantity of the terminal where the
client is positioned can be saved during the data stabilization period, access cost of the
client is reduced and a
processing load of the server is alleviated, but also data of the client can be timely updated during the data varying period, and the problems of excessively high access cost of the client and excessively heavy
processing load of the server in the prior art are solved.
