Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an instant messaging system 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the instant communication system 100 includes a plurality of clients 110 and a server 120. In other embodiments, the instant communication system 100 may also include different and/or additional modules, such as an offline message database and/or a historical message database.
A user may obtain a chat service (single chat and/or group chat) provided by the instant communication system 100 by interacting with the instant communication system 100. Specifically, the user sends and receives messages through the client 110. The message may be a text message, an image message, an emoticon message, a voice message, a video message, a file message, or any other suitable type of message, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of description, a client used by a message sender (a user who sends a message) may be referred to as a source client, and a client used by a message recipient (a user who receives a message) may be referred to as a target client. When a user sends a message, the client used by the user is a source client, and when the user receives the message, the client used by the user is a target client.
It is to be understood that a source client communicates messages to one or more target clients via server 120 (a source client communicates messages to one target client in a single chat; a source client communicates messages to multiple target clients in a group chat). That is, a source client sends a message to be delivered to one or more target clients to server 120, which server 120 forwards the message to the one or more target clients.
The server 120 stores a server message receipt table, which is used to record the read number of the message sent by any source client and the timestamp corresponding to the read number. The read number is the number of target clients that have uploaded read receipts for the message, indicating the number of people that read the message. Upon receiving a read receipt for a message uploaded by a target client, the server 120 may update the server message receipt table, i.e., the read number and corresponding timestamp of the message. In addition, the server message receipt table may also record the total number of messages received. The total number of receptions is the total number of target clients to receive the message, for example, the total number of receptions is the number of group members when the message is a group chat message. In some embodiments, the server 120 may also periodically store the read number and the total number of receptions of the historical message to the historical message database along with the historical message.
Each client 110 stores a client message receipt table, and the client message receipt table is used to record the read number, or the read number and the total receiving number of the message sent by the client. Each client 110 also stores the last update time of the client message receipt table to indicate when the client message receipt table was last updated. In some embodiments, the source client may obtain the read number of the message sent by the source client from the server message receipt table of the server 120, update the client message receipt table accordingly, and store the update time of the client message receipt table as the latest update time.
The specific structure of each component in the instant communication system 100 and the method executed in each component will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The components of the instant communication system 100 may be implemented by a computing device 200 as described below, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a computing device 200, according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 2, in a basic configuration 202, a computing device 200 typically includes a system memory 206 and one or more processors 204. A memory bus 208 may be used for communication between the processor 204 and the system memory 206.
Depending on the desired configuration, the processor 204 may be any type of processing, including but not limited to: a microprocessor (μ P), a microcontroller (μ C), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), or any combination thereof. The processor 204 may include one or more levels of cache, such as a level one cache 210 and a level two cache 212, a processor core 214, and registers 216. Example processor cores 214 may include Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs), Floating Point Units (FPUs), digital signal processing cores (DSP cores), or any combination thereof. The example memory controller 218 may be used with the processor 204, or in some implementations the memory controller 218 may be an internal part of the processor 204.
Depending on the desired configuration, system memory 206 may be any type of memory, including but not limited to: volatile memory (such as RAM), non-volatile memory (such as ROM, flash memory, etc.), or any combination thereof. System memory 206 may include an operating system 220, one or more applications 222, and program data 224. In some implementations, the application 222 can be arranged to execute instructions on the operating system with the program data 224 by the one or more processors 204.
Computing device 200 may also include an interface bus 240 that facilitates communication from various interface devices (e.g., output devices 242, peripheral interfaces 244, and communication devices 246) to the basic configuration 202 via the bus/interface controller 230. The example output device 242 includes a graphics processing unit 248 and an audio processing unit 250. They may be configured to facilitate communication with various external devices, such as a display or speakers, via one or more a/V ports 252. Example peripheral interfaces 244 can include a serial interface controller 254 and a parallel interface controller 256, which can be configured to facilitate communications with external devices such as input devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse, pen, voice input device, touch input device) or other peripherals (e.g., printer, scanner, etc.) via one or more I/O ports 258. An example communication device 246 may include a network controller 260, which may be arranged to facilitate communications with one or more other computing devices 262 over a network communication link via one or more communication ports 264.
A network communication link may be one example of a communication medium. Communication media may typically be embodied by computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, and may include any information delivery media, such as carrier waves or other transport mechanisms, in a modulated data signal. A "modulated data signal" may be a signal that has one or more of its data set or its changes made in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of non-limiting example, communication media may include wired media such as a wired network or private-wired network, and various wireless media such as acoustic, Radio Frequency (RF), microwave, Infrared (IR), or other wireless media. The term computer readable media as used herein may include both storage media and communication media.
Computing device 200 may be implemented as a server, such as a database server, an application server, a WEB server, and the like, or as a personal computer including desktop and notebook computer configurations. Of course, computing device 200 may also be implemented as part of a small-sized portable (or mobile) electronic device.
In an embodiment according to the invention, the computing device 200 may be implemented as a client 110 and a server 120 and configured to perform the message processing methods 400 and/or 500 (described in detail below) according to an embodiment of the invention. Where the application 222 of the computing device 200 includes a plurality of instructions for performing the message processing method 400 and/or 500 according to embodiments of the present invention, the program data 224 may also store configuration information of the instant communication system 100, etc.
Fig. 3 shows an interaction diagram of a message processing method 300 according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 3, the message processing method 300 is performed in the instant communication system 100 and begins at step S310.
In step S310, the source client sends a message to be sent to one or more target clients to the server 120. The server 120 receives the message, forwards the message to one or more target clients in step S320, and returns the total number of receptions of the message (i.e., the number of target clients) to the source client in step S321, so that the source client stores the total number of receptions of the message.
The target client receives the message forwarded from the source client via the server 120, and in step S330, determines whether the message is displayed in the visual area of the chat interface. If the message is displayed within the visual area of the chat interface, the read receipt for the message is uploaded to the server 120 in step S331. If the message is not displayed within the visual area of the chat interface, the read receipt is not uploaded. In some embodiments, the read receipt may include a message identification of the message and a user identification of the sender of the message.
After the server 120 receives the read receipt for the message uploaded by the target client, in step S340, the server message receipt table is updated in response to the read receipt. Specifically, the read number of the message and the timestamp corresponding to the read number in the server message receipt table may be updated in response to the read receipt of the message by the target client. For example, the read number of the message is added by 1, and the timestamp corresponding to the read number is updated to the current time.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the server 120 may first determine whether a read receipt for the message by the target client has been received before updating the server message receipt table based on the read receipt. If the message receipt is received, the server message receipt table is not updated, otherwise, the server message receipt table is updated based on the read receipt. That is, the server message receipt table is updated only the first time a read receipt of a message by a target client is received.
The server 120 may also transmit a read notification to the source client in an online state in step S341. If the source client is offline, no read notification is sent.
In some embodiments, the server may send the read notification to the source client at a predetermined frequency, for example, once every few seconds, which may act as a flow control to effectively reduce the diffusion storm of messages. Further, the server 120 may suspend sending read receipts when it is monitored that the server 120 traffic pressure reaches a predetermined threshold, and resume sending read notifications when a decrease in pressure is monitored.
The source client receives the read notification, and in response to receiving the read notification, sends a response piece information acquisition request to the server 120 in step S350. The receipt information acquisition request includes the update time of the client message receipt table stored by the source client, and is used to acquire, from the server 120, the read receipt information of those messages sent by the source client whose read number has changed before and after the update time of the client message receipt table. In some embodiments, the read receipt information includes a message identification of the message, a read number of the message, and a timestamp corresponding to the read number.
For convenience of description, a message whose read number is changed before and after the update time of the client message receipt table may be referred to as a predetermined message.
The server 120 receives the receipt information obtaining request from the source client, and may query the server message receipt table in response to the receipt information obtaining request, determine one or more predetermined messages, and obtain the read receipt information of the predetermined messages in step S360. Then, the server 120 returns the read receipt information of the predetermined message to the source client in step S361.
The source client receives the read receipt information of the predetermined message returned by the server 120, and updates the client message receipt table stored by the source client and the update time of the client message receipt table based on the read receipt information of the predetermined message in step S370. Specifically, for each predetermined message, the read number of the predetermined message in the client message receipt table may be updated, that is, the read number of the predetermined message in the client message receipt table is updated to the read number of the predetermined message returned by the server 120. At the same time, the update time of the client message receipt table is updated to the maximum timestamp in the read receipt information of the one or more predetermined messages.
Then, the source client may display the read number of the message (the read number of the message is obtained from the client message receipt table) when displaying the message sent by the source client in step S380, so that the user knows the read number. In some embodiments, the source client may also send a read detail retrieval request to the server 120, the read detail retrieval request being for retrieving the read details of the message. For example, a selection operation (including a click operation or the like) of the number of read of the displayed message by the user may be received, and in response to the selection operation, the read detail acquisition request is sent to the server 120, and the server 120 receives the read detail acquisition request from the source client and returns the read details of the corresponding message to the source client so that the source client displays the read details. The read details may include, among other things, a message recipient of the read message and/or a message recipient of the unread message. The source client may also update the corresponding record in the client message receipt table after receiving the read details of the message, but does not update the update time of the client message receipt table at this time.
Further, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the source client may request the server 120 to obtain an offline message when changing from an offline state to an online state. In this case, the source client may transmit a response piece information acquisition request to the server 120 in response to a request to acquire an offline message from the server 120, for example, by executing the above-described steps S350 to S380.
According to further embodiments of the present invention, when the source client requests the server 120 to obtain the history message, the server 120 may return the read number of the history message when returning the history message, so as to be displayed together when the source client displays the history message.
Fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a message processing method 400 according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 4, the message processing method 400 is performed in the client 110 and starts at step S410.
In step S410, a message is sent to one or more target clients via the server 120. In step S420, in response to receiving the read notification sent by the server 120 or in response to requesting the server 120 to obtain an offline message, a response piece information obtaining request is sent to the server 120. The response piece information obtaining request is used for obtaining the read number and the time stamp corresponding to the read number of one or more predetermined messages sent by the client 110, wherein the predetermined messages are messages of which the read number is changed before and after the update time of the client message response piece table. The client message receipt table and the update time of the client message receipt table are stored in the client, and the client message receipt table is at least used for recording the read number of the messages sent by the client.
Then, in step S430, the read number and the timestamp corresponding to the read number of the one or more predetermined messages returned by the receiving server in response to the receipt information obtaining request are received, and in step S440, the client message receipt table and the update time of the client message receipt table are updated based on the read number and the timestamp corresponding to the read number of the predetermined messages. For example, the read number of the predetermined message in the client message receipt table is updated to the read number returned by the server 120, and the update time of the client message receipt table is updated to the maximum timestamp among the timestamps of the one or more predetermined messages returned by the server.
Finally, in step S450, when displaying the message, the read number of the message is obtained from the client message receipt table and the read number is displayed.
When the client is a target client, the client may also receive a message sent by another client (i.e., a source client) via the server 120, and determine whether the message is displayed in the visual area of the chat interface. If so, a read receipt for the message is sent to the server 120.
In the above detailed description of the instant communication system 100 and the message processing method 300 with reference to fig. 1 to fig. 3, the corresponding processing in each step of the message processing method 400 has been explained in detail, and repeated content is not repeated here.

In step S510, a message from a source client is received and sent to one or more target clients. In some embodiments, after receiving a message from a source client, a total number of receptions of the message may also be returned to the source client.
Then, in step S520, a read receipt for the message uploaded by the target client is received, and in step S530, the server message receipt table stored by the server is updated in response to the read receipt. The server message receipt table is used for recording the read number of the message and the timestamp corresponding to the read number, and can also record the total receiving number of the message. Specifically, the read number of the message in the server message receipt table is increased by one, and the timestamp corresponding to the read number of the message in the server message receipt table is updated to be the current time.
A response piece information acquisition request from the source client may also be received in step S540. The receipt information acquisition request comprises the update time of the client message receipt table stored by the source client and is used for acquiring the read number of the predetermined message and the timestamp corresponding to the read number. Wherein the predetermined message is a message in which the read number is changed before and after the update time of the client message receipt table.
In some embodiments, the response piece information acquisition request is sent by the source client after receiving a read notification sent by the server to the source client in an online state after receiving a read response piece for the message uploaded by the target client. In still other embodiments, the response piece information fetch request is sent by the source client after requesting a fetch offline message from the server.
Finally, in step S550, in response to the response piece information obtaining request, the server message response piece table is queried, and the read number of the one or more predetermined messages and the timestamp corresponding to the read number are returned to the source client.
In addition, the server can also respond to the received read detail acquisition request for the message sent by the source client, and return the read details of the message to the source client, wherein the read details comprise the user of the read message and the user of the unread message. The server can also return the history message and the read number of the history message to the source client in response to receiving the history message acquisition request sent by the source client.

In summary, according to the message processing scheme of the embodiment of the present invention, the client and the server only store the read number field, and do not store a large number of read receipts, thereby saving a large amount of storage space. The client obtains the changed read number from the server in an increment mode according to the updating time of the client message receipt table stored by the client, and unchanged data is not obtained, so that the flow consumption is greatly reduced. And the read receipt sent by the client is simplified in structure, the consumed flow is extremely small, the bandwidth consumption is reduced, and the throughput of the server is improved.
The server responds to the received read receipt, updates the read number of the message, lightens the calculation pressure of the client and improves the accuracy of the read number. And the server adopts the strategies of simple calculation (adding one) and asynchronous persistence (regularly storing the read number of the historical information and the historical information), thereby reducing the occupation of CPU resources.
