Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent, the technical solutions of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the specific embodiments of the present disclosure and the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

FIG. 1 is a schematic logic diagram of a communication interaction method in accordance with one embodiment of the present description. In the logic diagram, websocket is taken as an exemplary description scheme of the bidirectional communication connection, and those skilled in the art can substitute the websocket for the bidirectional communication connection constructed by other communication protocols under the guidance of the logic of the method. As shown in fig. 1, the method logic involves a client 102, a websocket proxy service cluster 104 formed of at least one websocket proxy server, an application server 106 containing at least one traffic type, and a cache layer 108. The client 102 and the websocket proxy service cluster 104 are in bidirectional communication connection through the websocket, and the websocket proxy service cluster 104 and the application server 106 are in communication connection through a process call. As can be seen, the websocket proxy service cluster 104 can indirectly enable two-way communication between the client 102 and the application server 106 as middleware.

In a particular embodiment, the two-way communication between the client 102 and the application server 106 is as follows:

1. a connection is established.

The client 120 (which may include a web page, a mobile browser) establishes a Websocket connection with the Websocket proxy server. A Websocket connection is used to participate in performing the communication connection of the client 102 with the specified application server 106.

2. The room identification is stored.

In order to identify the bidirectional communication relationship between the client 102 and the application server 106, where a Websocket connection participates, the Websocket proxy server generates a room identifier for each established Websocket connection, and stores the room identifier in the cache layer 108 in fig. 1, where the cache layer 108 may specifically be a Redis cache server. The method is characterized in that the reference of the room can be derived from the definition and application of the Websocket to the room in the scene of realizing the multi-room chat room, the technology is continuously used in the scheme, and the room id is adopted to identify the Websocket connection of the individual service or the mass-sending service connected to the same server so as to indicate the service type of the server in which the Websocket connection participates.

When generating the room identification, the room identification may be created according to the service type of the application server 106 to which the client 102 is to be finally connected. For example, for a service type of single chat or single game, a unique room identifier may be created for Websocket connection used by each client participating in the service, so as to implement service isolation; for the service types of the group chat room or the multiplayer game, a common room identifier can be established for the Websocket connection used by the clients participating in the group chat room or the multiplayer game so as to realize group sending interaction for the corresponding clients, such as issuing game bulletins or notifications.

3. The room identification is returned.

The Websocket proxy server returns the stored room identifier to the client, where the room identifier can identify the service type of the application server 106 participating in message sending.

4. And sending the message.

After the client 102 acquires the room identifier corresponding to the Websocket connection, the client can send a message to the room at any time, so as to further send the message to the specific application server pointed by the room through the Websocket proxy server. For example, the room identification may be carried in a message sent to the Websocket proxy server. The Websocket agent server can determine the application server 106 to which the message is correspondingly sent according to the room identifier carried in the message.

5. The message is forwarded.

The Websocket proxy server determines the application server 106 to which the message is correspondingly sent according to the room identifier carried in the message sent by the client, and forwards the message.

6. And (5) service processing.

The application server 106 executes corresponding service processing according to the received message. In an actual application scenario, after the application server 106 performs the service processing, sometimes it is not necessary to feed back the processing result to the client 102, and sometimes it is necessary to feed back the processing result. Depending on the specific service content of the service treatment.

7. And sending the message.

The application server 106 may actively send a message to the client 102, or may send a message to respond based on a message request of the client 102. When a message needs to be sent to the client 102, the application server 106 may send a message carrying a room identifier (e.g., a room id) to the Websocket proxy server first, so as to forward the message through the Websocket proxy server.

8. The message is forwarded.

The Websocket agent server determines the client 102 to which the message is sent according to the room identifier carried in the message, and forwards the message.

It can be seen that, the processing logic of the embodiment shown in fig. 1 extracts the relevant codes of Websocket configuration and processing from the device (e.g., application server) into a middleware, i.e., Websocket proxy server. The middleware is used for bearing the problems of functions, performance and the like of the Websocket, and the application server only needs to make access to the Websocket proxy server, and does not need to introduce libraries or instances related to the Websocket at all. The application server side can be conveniently expanded by marking a link between one client side or a group of client sides and the application server side through the concept of the room identification, for example, game announcement information can map the whole online player into a room, a private mailbox can take a single player as a room, and the room can be flexibly customized by a business system. And in the aspect of performance, the server layer can be solved by horizontally expanding the websocket proxy server. And the storage layer is used for storing the room information by introducing a high-performance cache layer such as redis, so that the query performance and the insertion performance are very good.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present description are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flow chart diagram of a communication interaction method in accordance with one embodiment of the present description. The method can be applied to the processing logic shown in fig. 1 and executed by the proxy server. The proxy server is a message transfer terminal between the first device and the second device involved in the method, and is connected with one of the first device and the second device through bidirectional communication and connected with the other device through remote invocation. The method comprises the following specific steps:

s202, the proxy server receives a message sent by the first device, wherein the message carries identification information for identifying the bidirectional communication relationship between the first device and the second device.

The first device and the second device may be a client and a server that are currently in bidirectional communication connection, such as Websocket connection, for communication interaction. In the scheme, the first device and the second device are not directly connected with each other like a Websocket, but forward the messages to and from the two devices by using the proxy server as a middleware.

The proxy server integrates a common component extracted and generated by configuration and processing related codes for realizing bidirectional communication connection on one of the two devices, and can perform bidirectional communication connection with the other device based on the component. Meanwhile, the proxy server can still be connected with the device extracted with the bidirectional communication code through remote calling.

For example, the first device is a client and the second device is a server, or the second device is a client and the first device is a server. The components on the proxy server for the bi-directional communication connection may be abstracted from the server. When the proxy server receives the message sent by the first device, the target second device to which the message is forwarded can be determined through the identification information carried in the message and used for identifying the bidirectional communication relationship between the first device and the second device. The identification information may be assigned to the first device and the second device by the proxy server when the bidirectional communication relationship between the first device and the second device is initially established.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the steps of establishing the bidirectional communication relationship between the client and the server are as follows:

s302, the proxy server receives a connection request which is sent by the client and establishes a two-way communication relationship with the server.

When a two-way communication relationship needs to be established between the client and the server, the client can actively send a handshake connection to the proxy server by sending an http request so as to request the establishment of the two-way communication relationship between the client and the server.

S304, the proxy server establishes the bidirectional communication connection between the client and the proxy server and generates the identification information corresponding to the connection.

After the proxy server establishes the bidirectional communication connection between the proxy server and the client, such as the Websocket connection, in order to identify the bidirectional communication relationship between the client and the server corresponding to the connection, corresponding identification information may be generated for the connection.

Specifically, the proxy server may generate identification information corresponding to the created bidirectional communication connection according to the service type of the server to which the connection is directed. For example, as shown in fig. 1, identification information for establishing a bidirectional communication relationship with an application server of a service type may be created for application servers of different service types, respectively, and the bidirectional communication connection established between the client and the proxy server may be marked with the identification information.

For example, the identification information may include: and establishing room identifications according to the service types of different servers.

S306, the proxy server side feeds the generated identification information back to the client side.

Specifically, the proxy server feeds back identification information generated for each bidirectional communication connection to the corresponding client, and the client can send a message to the proxy server based on the identification information. Meanwhile, the agent server can store the identification information and the information of the bidirectional communication connection pointed by the identification information, such as the information of the client and the server in the bidirectional communication relation corresponding to the connection, to a specified storage position so as to facilitate searching. In order to facilitate the horizontal expansion of the storage function, a Redis cache server can be used for storing the information.

And S204, the proxy server forwards the message to the second equipment according to the identification information.

And the proxy server determines the second equipment to which the information is sent according to the identification information carried in the message sent by the first equipment, and forwards the message.

For example, the proxy server may obtain the second device to which the identification information is directed from the aforementioned memory, and forward the message to the second device.

It should be noted that the execution subjects of the steps of the methods provided in fig. 2 and 3 may be the same device, or different devices may be used as the execution subjects of the methods. For example, the execution subjects of step 202 and step 204 may be device 1; for another example, the execution subject of step 202 may be device 1, and the execution subject of step 204 may be device 2; and so on.
