Currently, message acceleration of a home gateway can be divided into hardware acceleration and software acceleration. Hardware acceleration is realized by a special chip, and only acceleration can be performed aiming at special scenes or special types of messages, so that the flexibility is poor, and a processor chip in the hardware acceleration is difficult to popularize on a large scale due to high cost. Software acceleration is usually realized by adopting Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), firstly, all data messages entering a protocol stack are captured, then, the data messages are identified through a feature library of the DPI, after the messages are identified, an acceleration rule is established according to a quintuple of the data messages if acceleration is needed, and the messages are discarded if acceleration is not needed. There are two problems with this approach: firstly, a large amount of CPU resources are occupied, the experience of other services of the home gateway is influenced, and the bandwidth problem caused by the increasing of the current services is difficult to meet due to the limitation of the processing capacity of the CPU of the home gateway; secondly, the feature library needs to be updated in time according to the increase of service application, the feature library of the DPI needs to be preset in advance for the home gateway, if the new application exists, the feature library needs to be updated, but how to upgrade the feature library as a part of home gateway software without influencing the home gateway service is also an urgent problem to be solved.

Detailed Description

First, the design principle of the present invention is further explained: when the service acceleration of the home gateway is realized, a software acceleration mode is selected firstly. By adopting a software acceleration mode, the problem that only special scenes or special types of messages can be accelerated in hardware acceleration and the flexibility is poor can be avoided, and the problem of use cost caused by high cost of a processor chip in hardware acceleration can also be avoided.

For software acceleration, two major problems of the existing DPI mode are mainly solved: firstly, a large amount of CPU resources are occupied, and the experience of other services of the home gateway is influenced; secondly, the feature library needs to be updated in time according to the increase of service application, the feature library of the DPI needs to be preset in advance for the home gateway, if the new application exists, the feature library needs to be updated, but the problem that how to upgrade the feature library is used as a part of home gateway software and the gateway service is not influenced is also a problem which needs to be solved urgently.

In order to solve the above problems, the solution proposed by the present invention is: a user configures services needing acceleration and services not needing acceleration and acceleration priority through terminal equipment or a home gateway, and when the service application needing acceleration is started or quitted or is switched between a foreground and a background, the home gateway correspondingly performs the operation of executing acceleration or cancelling acceleration; and when the home gateway accelerates a certain application according to the user requirement, the acceleration can be realized by configuring related rules (such as iptables rules), and the acceleration message does not need to enter a Linux protocol stack for analysis. Compared with the traditional software acceleration in a DPI mode, the method and the system do not need to capture data messages and analyze the messages to extract the feature information of the messages, do not need to update a feature library, greatly save the CPU (Central processing Unit) resources of the home gateway, and can realize service acceleration without occupying a large amount of CPU resources, thereby improving the performance of equipment.

In addition, because the experience requirements of users of the current terminal devices (mobile phones, set-top boxes, tablet computers, and the like) on services such as games and videos are very high, the users are most concerned about foreground applications, and if a certain foreground application is a high-priority service, such as games and live videos, the user needs to obtain timely services of the home gateway. Therefore, when the service acceleration of the terminal equipment is realized, once the terminal equipment is started or the high-priority services are operated on the foreground, the home gateway can directly schedule the high-priority services, namely, the acceleration is executed; when the foreground of the terminal device does not run the services (such as closing or switching to the background), the home gateway cancels acceleration of the corresponding services, so that the service response of the home gateway can be obtained in time for the high-priority services, and the user experience is improved.

In order that those skilled in the art will better understand the present invention, the following detailed description of the invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the detailed description of the invention.

However, it should be noted that: the examples to be described next are only some specific examples, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention necessarily to the following specific steps, values, conditions, data, orders, and the like. Those skilled in the art can, upon reading this specification, utilize the concepts of the present invention to construct more embodiments than those specifically described herein.

Example one

Referring to fig. 1, this embodiment provides a service acceleration method based on a home gateway, where the home gateway performs networking with a terminal device through a local area network. Specifically, the terminal device obtains an IP address or configures a static IP address from the home gateway through a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), the terminal device and the home gateway are in the same network segment, and the terminal device and the home gateway communicate using a unicast message. The service acceleration method comprises the following steps:

A. configuring the acceleration requirement of service application through terminal equipment or a home gateway;

B. the terminal equipment monitors the opening and closing of the service application and the switching state of the foreground and the background in real time and sends corresponding information to the home gateway;

C. the home gateway judges whether to execute or cancel acceleration according to the analyzed corresponding message; if the acceleration is executed, adding the service application needing acceleration into an acceleration queue by configuring a corresponding acceleration rule to realize acceleration; and if the acceleration is cancelled, deleting the corresponding acceleration rule from the acceleration queue.

It is understood that, in practical applications, the terminal devices include but are not limited to: mobile phones, set-top boxes, tablet computers, and the like. In addition, as an optional implementation manner, the terminal device may implement the function of the terminal device side in the above method by running the service acceleration APP. Namely, a service acceleration APP is installed on the terminal device, and the service acceleration APP has a function of implementing the operations of the steps a and B of the method. Of course, in practical applications, the method may also be implemented directly by using a terminal device system, and this embodiment is not particularly limited.

Example two

The basic steps of the method for accelerating the service based on the home gateway provided in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, except that, as an optional implementation manner, in step a, if the acceleration requirement of the service application is configured by the terminal device, the step specifically includes the following operations:

a1, classifying the service applications installed on the terminal equipment according to preset categories, wherein the preset categories are classified into game, video, download and other categories; and different acceleration priorities are set according to different categories, for example, the acceleration priority of a game is set to be 1, the acceleration priority of a video is set to be 2, the acceleration priority of a download is set to be 3, the acceleration priority of a service category which does not need acceleration is set to be 0, and the like. In this embodiment, except for the service class that does not need acceleration, the smaller the acceleration priority value of the other classes is, the higher the priority is.

A2, setting business applications needing acceleration and not needing acceleration at present under each category. For example, the service applications that need and do not need to be accelerated can be set by means of checking or unchecking: and when the check is carried out, the service application is represented as the service application needing acceleration, and when the check is carried out, the service application is represented as the service application not needing acceleration. During specific operation, other designs can be performed on the setting mode according to actual conditions, and the embodiment is not particularly limited. In addition, in actual operation, after the service application which needs acceleration and does not need acceleration is set, the configuration is stored and the terminal equipment is informed to update.

On this basis, in order to meet the increasing demand of the service application in the actual operation, in an optional implementation, the method further includes a service addition configuration operation: when a certain service application is newly installed on the terminal equipment, if the service application belongs to a certain class in the current class, the service application is added into the corresponding class; and if the service application does not belong to any category in the current category, adding a new category in the preset categories, and adding the service application into the new category.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, the message sent by the terminal device to the home gateway is composed of two fields, including a device unique identifier and an acceleration flag bit. The device unique identifier is a unique feature for identifying a device in the local area network, and includes the MAC or IP of the terminal device. On this basis, the step B specifically includes the following operations:

and B1, the terminal equipment monitors the opening and closing of the service application and the switching state of the foreground and the background in real time.

B2, when monitoring that the service application needing acceleration is started or runs on the foreground, sending a message to the home gateway to inform the home gateway to execute acceleration; in the sent message, the device unique identifier is one of MAC or IP of the terminal device, and the acceleration flag bit is a value of acceleration priority corresponding to the type of the service application that needs to be accelerated currently. For example, if the type of the service application needing acceleration is game, and the acceleration priority of the game class is 1, the acceleration flag bit of the message takes a value of 1.

B3, when monitoring that the service application needing acceleration is closed or switched to a background, sending a message to the home gateway to inform the home gateway to cancel acceleration; in the sent message, the device unique identifier is one of the MAC or IP of the terminal device, and the acceleration flag bit is a preset specific value. For example, the predetermined specific value is 0. However, it can be understood that, during specific operation, the specific value and the priority policy may be defined according to actual conditions, and only the terminal device and the home gateway need to negotiate the corresponding parameter values consistently, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

In order to understand more clearly how the terminal device monitors the opening and closing of the service application and the switching state of the foreground and background in real time in this embodiment, step B of the method is further described in detail below by taking the terminal device as an Android system and the terminal device realizes the function of the terminal device side in the above method by running the service acceleration APP as an example:

it can be understood that in the Android system, the Activity of bounded applications (i.e., business applications) is monitored by the lifecycle OnResume and OnPause. When the system automatically calls the OnResume method, the package name of the application program is obtained, and the current operation of the application program in the foreground can be judged. When the system automatically calls the OnPause method, the package name of the application program is obtained, and the application program can be judged to be currently operated in a background or destroyed. The Service of the application without the interface monitors the application by the life cycle OnCreat and OnDestroy. When the system automatically calls the OnCreat method, the package name of the application program is obtained, and the application program can be judged to be currently starting service, namely the business application is started. When the system automatically calls OnDestroy, the package name of the application program is obtained, and the application program can be judged to stop service, namely the service application is closed.

Therefore, a system service activityManagerservice (AMS for short) can be used for acquiring the switching state of the application program between the foreground and the background on the terminal equipment of the Android system. When an application program with an interface is started or switched to a foreground AMS to call an OnResume method, the AMS sends a message to inform a service acceleration APP of the packet name of the application program currently in the foreground, and the service acceleration APP judges whether the message needs to be sent to a gateway for service acceleration according to the packet name; when an interface application program is switched to a background, the AMS calls an OnPause method, simultaneously sends a message to the service acceleration APP to switch the current application program to the background and informs the service acceleration APP of the packet name switched to the background application program, and the service acceleration APP judges whether to stop acceleration of the application program service according to the packet name. When an application program without an interface is started, the AMS calls an OnCreat method, the AMS sends a message to inform a service acceleration APP of the packet name of the application program without the interface, and the service acceleration APP judges whether the message needs to be sent to a home gateway for service acceleration according to the packet name; when the application program without the interface exits, the AMS calls an OnDestroy method, meanwhile, a message is sent to the packet name of the application program without the interface, and the service acceleration APP judges whether the acceleration of the application program service is cancelled or not according to the packet name.

Specifically, when the application service of the terminal device is started, closed or foreground and background are switched, the service acceleration APP compares the currently acquired application program name with the configured name of the service application needing acceleration by using a state switching method (OnResume, OnPause, OnCreate, OnDestroy) automatically called by the system, and if the application program is the service application already configured to need acceleration and the service application is started or operated in the foreground, a message is sent to inform the home gateway to execute acceleration; if the service application is closed or switched to the background, sending a message to inform the home gateway to cancel acceleration; if the application program is a business application which does not need to be accelerated, no processing is performed.

EXAMPLE III

The basic steps of the service acceleration method based on the home gateway provided in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, except that, as an optional implementation manner, in step a, if the acceleration requirement of the service application is configured through the home gateway, the step specifically includes the following operations:

a1, creating and maintaining an acceleration configuration table on the home gateway, wherein each record of the acceleration configuration table comprises a device unique identifier of a terminal device, a service application identifier and an acceleration priority corresponding to the service application;

a2, according to the service application installed on the terminal device, creating a corresponding record in the acceleration configuration table; and setting the acceleration priority of the service application which does not need to be accelerated to a preset specific value, and setting the acceleration priority of the service application which needs to be accelerated to different values according to the level of the priority. In this embodiment, the preset specific value is 0 (that is, the acceleration priority of the service application that does not need to be accelerated is 0), and the smaller the acceleration priority value of the service application that needs to be accelerated is, the higher the priority is. However, it can be understood that, during specific operation, the specific value and the priority policy may be defined according to actual conditions, and only the terminal device and the home gateway need to negotiate the corresponding parameter values consistently, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, in this embodiment, the message sent by the terminal device to the home gateway is composed of three fields, including a device unique identifier, a service application identifier, and an open/foreground identifier or a close/background identifier. The unique device identifier is a unique feature used for identifying one device in the local area network, and comprises the MAC or IP of the terminal device; the service application identifier is a service application name. On this basis, the step B specifically includes the following operations:

b1, the terminal device monitors the opening and closing of the service application and the switching state of the foreground and the background in real time;

b2, when the service application is monitored to be opened or operated in the foreground, sending a message containing the unique equipment identifier, the service application identifier and the opening/foreground identifier to the home gateway;

and B3, when the service application is monitored to be closed or switched to the background, sending a message containing the unique device identifier, the service application identifier and the closing/background identifier to the home gateway.

Example four

The basic steps of the service acceleration method based on the home gateway provided by this embodiment are the same as those of the second or third embodiment, except that, as a preferred implementation, step C of the method specifically includes the following steps:

c1, if the acceleration requirement of the service application is configured through the terminal equipment, the home gateway analyzes the received message, and obtains the unique equipment identifier and the acceleration flag bit in the message; and judging whether to execute acceleration or cancel acceleration according to the value in the acceleration flag bit (if the value in the acceleration flag bit is a preset specific value, judging to cancel acceleration, otherwise, executing acceleration), if the value in the acceleration flag bit is the preset specific value, switching to a step C2, and if the value in the acceleration flag bit is the cancel acceleration, switching to a step C3.

If the acceleration requirement of the service application is configured through the home gateway, the home gateway analyzes the received message; when the message contains the start/foreground identifier, searching a matched record in the acceleration configuration table according to the unique device identifier and the service application identifier in the message, if the searched record is not the preset specific value of the acceleration priority corresponding to the service application, judging that acceleration is executed, and turning to step C2; when the message includes the closing/background identifier, searching a matched record in the acceleration configuration table according to the device unique identifier and the service application identifier in the message, if the acceleration priority corresponding to the service application is not the preset specific value (the acceleration priority is not the preset specific value, which indicates that the service application is an application needing acceleration), determining that acceleration is cancelled, and going to step C3. It can be understood that, no matter what the message includes the on/foreground identifier or the off/background identifier, as long as no matching record is found in the acceleration configuration table or no acceleration priority corresponding to the service application is found to be a preset specific value (the acceleration priority is the preset specific value indicating that the service application is an application that does not need acceleration), no processing is performed.

C2, the home gateway judges whether an acceleration rule exists in the corresponding terminal device, if not, the MAC or IP of the terminal device in the unique device identifier is used as a key word, the corresponding iptables rule or ebables rule is configured (if the unique device identifier is the MAC of the terminal device, the corresponding ebables rule is configured, if the unique device identifier is the IP of the terminal device, the corresponding iptables rule is configured), and the acceleration rule of the terminal device is generated according to the acceleration priority of the service application needing acceleration; if the acceleration rule corresponding to the terminal equipment exists on the current home gateway and the acceleration priority level is consistent with the newly received request, keeping the current acceleration rule unchanged, otherwise deleting the existing acceleration rule and regenerating a new acceleration rule (the process of generating the new acceleration rule refers to the operation of generating the acceleration rule when the acceleration rule does not exist) so as to ensure that only one acceleration rule exists on one terminal equipment on the home gateway; adding an acceleration rule of the current terminal equipment into an acceleration queue to realize acceleration of service application needing acceleration;

c3, the home gateway deletes the corresponding acceleration rule from the acceleration queue.

In addition, if the application switching of the same terminal device is accompanied by the switching of the application a to the background and the switching of the application B to the foreground, and the two applications are the same acceleration priority value, further optimization is possible. Specifically, when executing the scheduling policy, the home gateway may not immediately delete the acceleration rule corresponding to the corresponding execution acceleration after receiving the acceleration cancellation message sent by the same terminal device, but wait for a certain time to see whether the acceleration execution message sent by the same terminal device is received, and then execute the final scheduling policy. If the acceleration rules corresponding to the front and rear acceleration messages are consistent, the second acceleration rule consistent with the first acceleration rule is re-acted after the cancellation operation corresponding to the first acceleration rule is not needed to be operated. Namely when the application A is switched to the background and the application B is switched to the foreground. Before optimization: the acceleration rule of application A is cancelled, and the acceleration rule of application B is enabled. After optimization, because the acceleration rules of application a and application B are consistent, the acceleration processing module of the home gateway may skip canceling the acceleration rule of application a, and enable the two operations of the acceleration rule of application B.

EXAMPLE five

It can be understood that, in practical applications, a situation may occur in which the terminal device interrupts the communication connection with the home gateway for various reasons. In order to avoid the situation that the terminal equipment is disconnected, the home gateway also reserves the acceleration rule of the terminal equipment in the acceleration queue and executes corresponding service acceleration, and the home gateway resources are occupied. The basic steps of the service acceleration method based on the home gateway provided by this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, except that as a preferred implementation, the method further includes the following steps: the terminal equipment periodically sends heartbeat messages to the home gateway, and if the home gateway does not receive the heartbeat messages from the terminal equipment within a plurality of periods, the acceleration rules of the terminal equipment are deleted from the acceleration queue. In this embodiment, the period time for the terminal device to send the heartbeat message is preferably 60 seconds, and the home gateway defaults that the heartbeat message from the terminal device is not received within 3 periods, and then deletes the acceleration rule of the terminal device from the acceleration queue. In actual operation, the parameters may be set according to specific conditions, as long as the home gateway can timely find that communication with the terminal device is interrupted, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

EXAMPLE six

The basic steps of the method for accelerating the service based on the home gateway provided by this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, except that, as a preferred implementation, when there are a plurality of terminal devices, the method further includes the following steps: when the home gateway receives messages sent by a plurality of terminal devices, the service acceleration of the terminal device with high MAC priority is preferentially executed according to a preset MAC priority table of the terminal device. Through the operation, when a plurality of terminal devices are provided, the home gateway can uniformly manage the service acceleration of all the terminal devices in the home network.

Further, as an optional implementation manner, in the MAC priority table of the terminal device, the MAC priority corresponding to each terminal device may be calculated according to the following manner: if the MAC weight of the terminal device is a (positive integer, smaller priority is higher), and the acceleration priority of the corresponding service application that needs acceleration is b (positive integer, smaller priority is higher), then the normalized weight of the terminal device, i.e. the MAC priority, can be calculated according to F (a, b), for example, F (a, b) is defined as a b, and the smaller the value is, the higher the priority is. Although this disclosure describes and illustrates a particular calculation mode F, this disclosure contemplates any suitable calculation mode F. Of course, other well-known scheduling methods can be used to ensure the priority of the high-priority service based on the above disclosure information.

EXAMPLE seven

Based on the same inventive concept, referring to fig. 4 and 5, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a service acceleration system based on a home gateway, where the system includes the home gateway and a terminal device that is networked with the home gateway through a local area network. The terminal equipment is provided with a service application monitoring module, the home gateway is provided with an acceleration processing module, and the terminal equipment or the home gateway is also provided with a service acceleration configuration module.

It can be understood that, in practical application, as an optional implementation manner, the service acceleration configuration module and the service application monitoring module may form a service acceleration APP form to implement respective functions on the terminal device. Namely, a service acceleration APP is installed on the terminal device, and the service acceleration APP includes a service acceleration configuration module and a service application monitoring module. Of course, in practical applications, the functional module may also be directly customized in the terminal device system, and the embodiment is not particularly limited.

Example eight

The basic structure of the service acceleration system based on the home gateway provided in this embodiment is the same as that of the seventh embodiment, except that as an optional implementation manner, if the service acceleration configuration module is disposed on the terminal device, a specific process of configuring an acceleration requirement of a service application by the service acceleration configuration module includes: classifying the service applications installed on the terminal equipment according to preset classes, and setting different acceleration priorities according to different classes, for example, the acceleration priority of a game is set to be 1, the acceleration priority of a video is set to be 2, the acceleration priority of a download is set to be 3, the acceleration priority of a service class which does not need to be accelerated is set to be 0, and the like; finally, business applications which currently need to be accelerated and do not need to be accelerated are set under each category.

On this basis, in order to meet the increasing demand of the service application in the actual operation, in an optional implementation manner, the service acceleration configuration module is further configured to perform a service addition configuration operation: when a certain service application is newly installed on the terminal equipment, if the service application belongs to a certain class in the current class, the service application is added into the corresponding class; and if the service application does not belong to any category in the current category, adding a new category in the preset categories, and adding the service application into the new category.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, the message sent by the message sending module to the home gateway is composed of two fields, including a device unique identifier and an acceleration flag bit. The device unique identifier is a unique feature for identifying a device in the local area network, and includes the MAC or IP of the terminal device.

when monitoring that a service application needing acceleration is started or runs in a foreground, sending a message to the home gateway to inform the home gateway to execute acceleration; in the sent message, the acceleration flag bit is the value of the acceleration priority corresponding to the type of the current service application needing acceleration;

when monitoring that the service application needing acceleration is closed or switched to a background, sending a message to the home gateway to inform the home gateway to cancel acceleration; in the sent message, the acceleration flag bit is a preset specific value. For example, the preset specific value is 0, but it can be understood that, during specific operation, the specific value and the priority policy may be defined according to actual conditions, and it is only necessary that the terminal device and the home gateway negotiate the corresponding parameter values consistently, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

Example nine

The basic structure of the service acceleration system based on the home gateway provided in this embodiment is the same as that of the seventh embodiment, except that as an optional implementation manner, if the service acceleration configuration module is disposed on the home gateway, a specific process of configuring an acceleration requirement of a service application by the service acceleration configuration module includes:

establishing and maintaining an acceleration configuration table on a home gateway, wherein each record of the acceleration configuration table comprises a unique device identifier of a terminal device, a service application identifier and an acceleration priority corresponding to the service application; according to the service application installed on the terminal equipment, a corresponding record is created in the acceleration configuration table; and setting the acceleration priority of the service application which does not need to be accelerated to a preset specific value, and setting the acceleration priority of the service application which needs to be accelerated to different values according to the level of the priority. In this embodiment, the preset specific value is 0 (that is, the acceleration priority of the service application that does not need to be accelerated is 0), and the smaller the acceleration priority value of the service application that needs to be accelerated is, the higher the priority is. However, it can be understood that, during specific operation, the specific value and the priority policy may be defined according to actual conditions, and only the terminal device and the home gateway need to negotiate the corresponding parameter values consistently, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, in this embodiment, the message sent by the terminal device to the home gateway is composed of three fields, including a device unique identifier, a service application identifier, and an open/foreground identifier or a close/background identifier. The unique device identifier is a unique feature used for identifying one device in the local area network, and comprises the MAC or IP of the terminal device; the service application identifier is a service application name. On this basis, the service application monitoring module monitors the opening and closing of the service application and the switching state of the foreground and the background in real time, and sends corresponding information to the home gateway, and the method specifically comprises the following operations:

monitoring the opening and closing of the service application and the switching state of the foreground and the background in real time; when the service application is monitored to be started or run in a foreground, sending a message containing a unique device identifier, a service application identifier and a starting/foreground identifier to the home gateway; and when the service application is monitored to be closed or switched to the background, sending a message containing the unique equipment identifier, the service application identifier and the closing/background identifier to the home gateway.

Example ten

The basic structure of the service acceleration system based on the home gateway provided in this embodiment is the same as that in the eighth or ninth embodiment, except that the acceleration processing module analyzes a message sent by a terminal device after receiving the message, and determines whether to execute acceleration or cancel acceleration according to the analyzed message, which specifically includes the following procedures:

if the service acceleration configuration module is arranged on the terminal equipment, the acceleration processing module analyzes the message after receiving the message sent by the terminal equipment to acquire the unique equipment identifier and the acceleration flag bit in the message; if the value in the acceleration flag bit is a preset specific value, determining to cancel acceleration, otherwise, determining to execute acceleration;

if the service acceleration configuration module is arranged on the home gateway, the acceleration processing module analyzes the message after receiving the message sent by the terminal equipment; when the message contains an opening/foreground identifier, searching a matched record in the acceleration configuration table according to the unique device identifier and the service application identifier in the message, and if the searched acceleration priority corresponding to the service application is not a preset specific value, judging to execute acceleration; and when the message contains a closing/background identifier, searching a matched record in the acceleration configuration table according to the unique device identifier and the service application identifier in the message, and if the searched acceleration priority corresponding to the service application is not a preset specific value, judging that acceleration is cancelled.

On this basis, the specific process of the acceleration processing module executing acceleration or cancelling acceleration includes: when the acceleration is judged to be executed, the acceleration processing module firstly judges whether an acceleration rule exists in the corresponding terminal equipment, if not, the MAC or IP of the terminal equipment in the equipment unique identifier is used as a key word, a corresponding iptables rule or ebables rule is configured, and the acceleration rule of the terminal equipment is generated according to the acceleration priority of the service application needing acceleration; if the acceleration rule corresponding to the terminal equipment exists on the current home gateway and the acceleration priority level is consistent with the newly received request, keeping the current acceleration rule unchanged, otherwise deleting the existing acceleration rule and regenerating a new acceleration rule to ensure that only one acceleration rule exists on one terminal equipment on the home gateway; adding the acceleration rule of the current terminal equipment into an acceleration queue to realize acceleration of the service application needing acceleration; and when the acceleration is determined to be cancelled, the acceleration processing module deletes the corresponding acceleration rule from the acceleration queue.

In addition, if the application switching of the same terminal device is accompanied by the switching of the application a to the background and the switching of the application B to the foreground, and the two applications are the same acceleration priority value, further optimization is possible. Specifically, when executing the scheduling policy, the acceleration processing module of the home gateway may not immediately delete the acceleration rule corresponding to the corresponding execution acceleration after receiving the message for canceling acceleration sent by the same terminal device, but wait for a certain time to see whether a message for executing acceleration sent by the same terminal device is received next, and then execute the final scheduling policy. If the acceleration rules corresponding to the front and rear acceleration messages are consistent, the second acceleration rule consistent with the first acceleration rule is re-acted after the cancellation operation corresponding to the first acceleration rule is not needed to be operated. Namely when the application A is switched to the background and the application B is switched to the foreground. Before optimization: the acceleration rule of application A is cancelled, and the acceleration rule of application B is enabled. After optimization, because the acceleration rules of application a and application B are consistent, the acceleration processing module of the home gateway may skip canceling the acceleration rule of application a, and enable the two operations of the acceleration rule of application B.
