For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present specification more apparent, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present specification will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present specification. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the aspects of the specification may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. In other instances, well-known aspects have not been shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the description.

Furthermore, the drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present specification and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and thus a repetitive description thereof will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the figures are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically separate entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits or in different networks and/or processor devices and/or microcontroller devices.

Fig. 1 is an information interaction schematic diagram of a virtual space allocation method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 1, the embodiment shown in this figure includes:

s10: the terminal sends a matching request for the target user to the first gateway.

The terminal 100 is exemplified by, but not limited to, a computer, a smart phone, a tablet, etc. The first gateway 110 is a network traffic access system spandex based on the nginx secondary development, and is used for carrying the functions of secure socket layer (Secure Sockets Layer, SSL) offloading and traffic load balancing. It is to be appreciated that the first gateway is not limited to a spandex.

The matching request is used for representing a request that a target user wants to be matched to a certain virtual space to participate in real-time interactive activities, wherein the matching request contains an identity identifier userID of the target user. Wherein the matching request may be a remote procedure call (Remote Procedure Call, RPC) protocol based request that requests service from a remote computer over a network without knowledge of the protocol of the underlying network technology.

In the case of receiving the above-described matching request about the target user transmitted by the terminal 100, the first gateway 110 performs S12: acquiring a virtual space arranged in a first server, and performing S14: and sequentially judging whether the target virtual space for distributing the target user exists according to the sequence that the number of users corresponding to the virtual space is at least greater than the number of users.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the real-time interaction is implemented based on the display of the user terminal, the number of users interacting with the screen in the virtual space is limited (for example, in a forgiving garden scene, the number of users participating in the interaction with the screen is limited to 10) due to the performance of the user mobile phone. And because the communication information of the same virtual space can be concentrated on the same server for processing, the problem of uneven utilization of server resources can be caused, and therefore, the scheme provides a matching mechanism of the virtual space, and the number of people in the same virtual space is considered in the virtual space matching scheme provided by the embodiment of the specification, so that the number of people interacting with a screen is avoided, the smooth display of the terminal is facilitated, and the uniform distribution of virtual resources arranged among the servers can be ensured.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first gateway 110 sequentially determines whether or not there is a target virtual space for allocating a target user according to the order in which the number of users corresponding to the virtual space is at least greater. In the case where the first gateway 110 determines that the first server 120 has the target virtual space, S16 is performed: and determining the target identity of the target virtual space. And the target identity terminal can establish two-way communication connection with the first server, so that a target user is distributed to a target virtual space where the first server is arranged.

In an exemplary embodiment, if the virtual space meeting arranged at the first server 120 is 5, the number of users corresponding to the 5 meeting is 9, 7, 5, 4, respectively. Then, according to the order that the number of users corresponding to the meeting respectively is at least greater, the first meeting (i.e. the meeting with the number of users of 9) is selected to execute the matching operation.

In order to improve the matching efficiency on the basis of ensuring the matching success rate, the same virtual space needs to be ensured to be matched with a user corresponding to one matching request (namely, concurrency is prevented), and in the embodiment of the specification, the user is matched to a certain virtual space in a locking matching mode. For example, when the request 1 and the first meeting are locked, the meeting is locked, so that the request 2 cannot be matched with the first meeting, and at this time, the request 2 is matched with the second meeting in the order of at least more people.

In the matching scheme of the virtual space provided in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, according to the order of at least the number of users corresponding to the virtual space respectively, whether the target virtual space for distributing the target user exists is sequentially determined, which is favorable for enabling the target user to join the virtual space with more people as much as possible (denoted as meeting), and is favorable for avoiding the false appearance of 'cold clearing' presented by the target user after the target user joins a certain virtual space.

The communication and collaboration parties under the remote condition can access at any time and any place, transfer virtual-real integrated multidimensional information in real time, and experience the immersive interaction activities

In another exemplary embodiment, a matching scheme of virtual space is provided as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the bidirectional communication connection is established based on a real-time message service (Real Time Message Service, RTMS), and the RTMS is a real-time channel established specially for scenes such as games, stocks, live barrages and the like, so that the method is applicable to scenes with high timeliness requirements, and a single machine operation can support a distributed architecture, in particular a single user supports 30-60 seconds of frame pushing. The two-way communication connection established based on the RTMS can be accessed nearby.

Because of the characteristics of the RTMS, there are custom requirements, and in order to ensure and maintain high availability, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, a second gateway 210 (refer to fig. 2 and 3) needs to be separately provided in addition to the first gateway 110, where the second gateway 210 is a dedicated gateway for establishing a bidirectional communication connection between the terminal and the server based on the RTMS.

The embodiment shown in fig. 2 is performed on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, and specifically, the embodiment shown in fig. 2 is described in connection with fig. 3. In S31, the terminal 100 transmits a matching request to the first gateway 110 (same as S10); in S32, the first gateway 110 obtains the target identity for matching the virtual space of the target user from the server (S12, S14, and S16). Further, in S33, the terminal 100 sends an access request to the second gateway 210, where the access request includes the target id. Referring to fig. 2, after determining the target identity in S16, the first gateway 110 performs S18: transmitting the target identity to the terminal 100; and executing S100: the terminal 100 transmits an access request to the second gateway 210.

After the second gateway 210 receives the above access request, it controls the directional routing of the terminal to the first server (S112 and S36) so that a bidirectional communication connection based on RTMS is established between the terminal and the first server, and the user enters the virtual space.

In the matching scheme of the virtual space provided by the embodiment shown in fig. 2, based on the real-time communication capability provided by the RTMS, the communicating and cooperating parties can access at any time and any place, transmit the virtual-real integrated multidimensional information in real time, and experience the interaction in the scene. Meanwhile, the scheme provided by the embodiment of the specification can enable the user to join the room with more people as much as possible, and the false impression that the virtual space presents 'cold clear' is avoided.

Fig. 4 is an information interaction schematic diagram of a virtual space allocation method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the embodiment shown in the fig. 1 is performed based on the embodiment shown in the fig. 1. Specifically, in the case where it is determined in S14 that the first server does not currently have the target virtual space for matching the target user, the first gateway 110 performs S17: judging whether the number of virtual spaces arranged on the first server is larger than a first preset value corresponding to the first server. Wherein the first preset value is determined according to an amount of space in the server for arranging the virtual space. By setting the first preset values corresponding to the different servers, the uniform distribution and smooth expansion of virtual resources among the servers are guaranteed.

In the case where the number of virtual spaces disposed in the first server is not greater than the first preset value, which indicates that there is a free space for the current server to construct a new meeting, S19 is executed: and creating a target virtual space in the first server, and determining a target identity of the target virtual space, so that the terminal establishes two-way communication connection with the first server based on the target identity.

In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual space is created based on a real-time message service, RTMS; the specific implementation mode of creating the target virtual space at the first server is as follows: the first gateway 110 transmits a creation request for creating a target virtual space at the first server to the RTMS client, wherein the RTMS client then returns target identification information about the created target virtual space.

In another case, when the number of virtual spaces disposed in the first server is greater than the first preset value, which indicates that there is no free space for constructing a new meeting already existing in the current server, S111 is executed: and switching to the second server to judge whether a target virtual space for distributing the target user exists in the virtual space of the second server.

For example, referring to fig. 5, server resources of two regions RZ41 and RZ42 are shown, where the first server and the second server may be distributed in the region RZ41, or the first server and the second server may be distributed in the region RZ41 and the region RZ42, respectively. The determination manner of whether the target virtual space for allocating the target user exists in the virtual space arranged in the second server is the same as the determination manner of whether the target virtual space for allocating the target user exists in the virtual space arranged in the first server, and is not described herein.

For example, reference may be made to a logical data center (Logical Data Center, LDC) architecture as shown in fig. 6 for server distribution.

In the matching scheme of the virtual space provided in the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the user initiates a matching request, and the spreader layer (the first gateway 110) distributes the traffic to the corresponding servers in an equalizing manner, so that the meeting resources created on the corresponding servers are also evenly distributed; the method can synchronously support smooth horizontal expansion or contraction based on LDC deployment architecture meeting resources; meanwhile, the user can join the room with more people as much as possible, and the false impression that the virtual space presents cold clearing is avoided.

From the perspective of users participating in real-time activity, obtaining an identity (i.e., token about virtual space) for establishing an RTMS connection includes two approaches, one is an active acquisition mode that actively initiates a meeting matching request, and the other is a passive acquisition mode that shares links by others. The passive acquisition mode is as follows: the user A participates in real-time interactive activities in the meeting, and under the condition that the number of people in the meeting is not more than a threshold value (such as 10 people), the user A can invite the friend user B to participate in the meeting nearby, so that the situation that two people are in the meeting at the same place is realized.

Fig. 7 is an information interaction schematic diagram of a virtual space allocation method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the embodiment shown in the fig. 1 is performed based on the embodiment shown in the fig. 1. Specifically, the first gateway 110, after receiving the matching request with respect to the target user, performs S11: and judging whether the matching request contains the sharing identification. In the passive acquisition mode, the link acquired by the invited user contains a sharing identifier.

Under the condition that the matching request does not contain the sharing identification, if the matching request is in an active acquisition mode, S12, S14 and S16 are executed, and further, the bidirectional communication connection between the terminal and the server is constructed according to the target identity identification, so that the target user can be added into the corresponding meeting.

Under the condition that the matching request contains the sharing identifier, the matching request is described as belonging to a passive acquisition mode, in the passive acquisition mode, the identity identifier of the related meeting can be resolved in the sharing identifier, and then the first gateway executes S70: and determining the target identity of the shared virtual space according to the sharing identity, wherein the terminal establishes two-way communication connection with the corresponding server based on the target identity so as to distribute the target user to the virtual space arranged in the corresponding server, and further realize the two-way communication connection between the terminal and the server so as to add the target user into the corresponding meeting.

Since the user initiates the same virtual space and the invited mode exists, in order to ensure that the invited user can smoothly join the room where the inviter is located (to interact in the same screen), the embodiment of the present specification further provides a scheme that satisfies the following two aspects at the same time: avoiding "cool purge" as much as possible and providing a "reserve seat" solution for users joining by passive acquisition. Specifically, fig. 8 is a flow chart of a virtual space allocation method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, where an execution body of the embodiment shown in the fig. is a first gateway.

In S810, a virtual space with a user number smaller than a second preset value is obtained in a virtual space arranged at the first server, to obtain a first virtual space set, and a virtual space with a user number larger than the second preset value is obtained in a virtual space arranged at the first server, to obtain a second virtual space set.

That is, for all virtual spaces meeting arranged on the same server, the current number of participants is divided into two subsets according to meeting. The second preset value may be determined according to a maximum number of people threshold in one meeting, for example, the maximum number of people threshold in one meeting is 10, and the second preset value may be set to a value greater than 5 and less than 10, for example, the second preset value takes a value of 7. The virtual space arranged at the first server is divided into: in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the user in the active acquisition mode will be preferentially matched in the first virtual space set, and the second virtual space set will be reserved for the user in the passive acquisition mode.

In S820, it is sequentially determined whether or not the target virtual space for allocating the target user exists in the first virtual space set in the order in which the number of users corresponding to the virtual spaces is at least greater than the number of users corresponding to the virtual space set. In S830, a target identity of the target virtual space is determined, wherein the terminal establishes a bi-directional communication connection with the first server based on the target identity.

The method for matching the users in the first virtual space set through the active acquisition method is provided in S820 and S830, and the specific implementation of the method is described in detail in the foregoing embodiments, which are not described herein again.

In S840, it is determined whether the number of virtual spaces disposed at the first server is greater than a first preset value corresponding to the first server. In S850, a target virtual space is newly created in the first server, and a target identity of the target virtual space is determined, where the terminal establishes a bidirectional communication connection with the first server based on the target identity.

Wherein, S840 and S850 provide that if the matching fails in the first set of virtual spaces (e.g., no virtual space with a number of people less than 7 exists in the current server), then it is further determined whether the current server is able to create a new virtual space. In the case that it is determined that the current server can also create a virtual space, a new meeting is preferentially created for allocating the user who issues the matching request, and the specific implementation of this is also described in detail in the foregoing embodiments, and is not described herein again.

Under the condition that the current server cannot establish a new virtual space, the mode that the users in the active acquisition mode are matched in the second virtual space set is determined: in S860, it is sequentially determined whether or not the target virtual space for allocation of the target user exists in the second virtual space set in the order in which the number of users corresponding to the virtual spaces is at least greater than the first virtual space set. In the case where the second virtual space set has the target virtual space for allocating the target user, S870 is executed: and determining a target identity of the target virtual space, wherein the terminal establishes a two-way communication connection with the first server based on the target identity. It can be seen that the meeting in the second virtual space set is matched through the spam through S860 and S870 to ensure that the user can smoothly join.

In the case where there is also a target virtual space for allocating the target user in the second virtual space set, S880 is performed: and switching to the second server to judge whether a target virtual space for distributing the target user exists in the virtual space of the second server.

In the matching scheme of the virtual space provided in the embodiment shown in fig. 8, the following two schemes can be simultaneously satisfied: the scheme of 'cold clearing' and 'reserved seat' is provided for the user added in the passive acquisition mode as far as possible, so that the user added in the virtual space in the active acquisition mode or the user added in the passive acquisition mode can be realized smoothly, the user can be added in more virtual spaces of the user as far as possible, the cold clearing feeling of the user is avoided as far as possible, and the activity experience of the user is improved.

Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of storing room information provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 9, the RTMS SDK in the embodiment of the present specification maintains room information (also called meeting information) of the communication layer, and also needs to manage the corresponding room information at the server. Subsequent messaging, real-time location synchronization, room leaving, etc. operations with respect to the target user remain in the corresponding room model after the matching process with respect to the target user is completed. Referring to fig. 10 for an example, room information is shown, including: the method includes the steps of (a) Meeting id (Meeting unique identification), shareToken (sharing identification), backup time (backup time), status (room status, if in backup status), visual mode (room mode is divided into 2D/3D type), memberis (member information in room) and memberis (member position information), wherein memberis contains: userID, matchtime (matching time), userview (member information), cadview (interaction information) as key; the memberposition includes: userID, posdata (position coordinates) as key and date (server timestamp).

The meeting information created by the RTMS service is pure memory storage, wherein the pure memory stores room information, no disk reading/writing operation exists, performance loss can be reduced, the RTMS service has the advantage of high calculation speed, and the memory is naturally supported to support high concurrency operation, so that the RTMS service is more suitable for large-scale real-time interaction scenes.

It should be noted that, the asset data of the user in the corresponding meeting is not strongly coupled with the meeting information, so even if the server is restarted, the asset data of the user will not be lost.

In the case of room information stored in server-only memory, if the server is restarted, the data resources (including room information) stored in the memory are lost. In response to this problem, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a "server restart match" capability that allows users in the same room to "feel less" to be re-matched to a new room prior to a restart in the event of an exception to a server restart.

Fig. 11 is a flowchart of a virtual space allocation method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, where an execution body of the embodiment shown in the fig. is a first gateway.

In S1110, a matching request sent by the terminal is received, and it is determined that the matching request includes a restart identifier.

Illustratively, in the case where room information is stored purely in memory, the end user will be forced out of the original room after having encountered a server restart. For example, the room Q before the server is restarted contains five users, user 1 to user 5, and after the server is restarted, the user 1 to user 5 is forced to leave the room Q. If the user 1-user 5 wish to reenter the same room, the matching request sent again by the user 1-user 5 will include a restart identifier. It can be seen that the restart identifier is generated when the terminal accesses the first server and when the terminal sends the matching request again after the first server is restarted.

In S1120, according to the first identity carried in the access request, the first database is queried to determine whether the first database contains the first identity.

The matching request including the restart identifier includes an identity (denoted as a first identity) of a room in which the user is located last time. The first identity identifier can be used as a part of a restarting identifier terminal, and can be set separately from the restarting identifier. For example, in the above embodiment, the identity of the room Q is Q13abc, and after the server that locates the room Q is restarted, the matching request initiated by the user 1-the user 5 includes Q13abc (first identity).

For example, when a first user in the same virtual space before restarting sends a matching request, a mapping relation of a new virtual space and an old virtual space is set in the first database, for example, an identity of the old virtual space is used as a key, and an identity of a newly-built virtual space is used as a value. For example, after the first user of the above users 1-5 sends the matching request, the identity "Q13abc" related to the new and old virtual space "room Q" is set in the first database as a key, and the corresponding value is the identity (i.e. the second identity, if Q15zx 0) of the new virtual space "room Q'", and the "Q13abc" is stored in the first database: q15zx 0'

In S1120, the first database is queried according to the first identity carried in the access request, to determine whether the first database contains the first identity. If the first database does not include the first identity, which indicates that the user is the first user to initiate a matching request in a room after the server is restarted, S1130 is executed: and determining a second identity corresponding to the reconstructed virtual space arranged on the third server, and storing the first identity and the second identity into the first database in a mapping relation.

If it is determined in S1120 that the first database does not include the first identity, indicating that the user is not the first user to initiate a matching request in a room after being restarted from the server, S1140 is performed: and acquiring a second identity mark with a mapping relation with the first identity mark from the first database.

For example, after the user 1 is the first user to send a matching request after the room Q is restarted, in response to the user 1 sending a matching request including a restart identifier and a room Q identifier, the first gateway creates a new virtual space (i.e., room Q '), and at the same time, backs up the newly-built room Q' in the first database, that is, stores the newly-built room Q 'with the first identifier of the room Q as a key and the second identifier of the newly-built room Q' as a value. Therefore, under the condition that the user 2 sends out the matching request, as the restart identifier and the first identity identifier of the room Q are carried in the matching request, when the first gateway queries the first database by taking the first identity identifier as a key, the first identity identifier can be determined to be contained in the first database, and the second identity identifier of the room Q 'can be determined according to the mapping relation, further, the user 2 can be added into the newly-built room Q', so that the user 2 and the user 1 are simultaneously in the same room to perform the same-screen interaction.

Through the embodiment shown in fig. 11, a first user initiating re-matching creates a new meeting, and all subsequently entered users can take the meeting information from the cache, so that users carrying the same token request parameters (i.e. all users on the same screen before restarting) are re-allocated into one meeting after restarting the server, thereby realizing that users originally in the same room recover the same-screen interaction state.

In an exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 11, S1150 is also performed after S1130 is performed: setting a backup identifier for reconstructing the virtual space and setting a backup time length for the backup identifier, wherein the backup identifier for reconstructing the virtual space is canceled when the backup time length is greater than a third preset value.

By setting the backup identifier, the situation that the common user occupies the newly-built virtual space after restarting can be effectively avoided, for example, the total number of people in the room Q' is 10, and the number of users in the room Q is 5 in the embodiment. If the number of users joining in the fake Q 'exceeds 5 by the active acquisition mode, the users in the original room Q cannot join in the room Q', in this embodiment of the present disclosure, a backup identifier is set in a virtual space newly created by restarting the server, and in the matching scheme shown in fig. 1, the virtual space in the backup state is removed first, and then a specific matching process is executed, as shown in the embodiment of fig. 12:

The information interaction schematic diagram of the virtual space allocation method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is implemented on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1. Specifically, as a specific embodiment of S12, S12' is performed: all virtual spaces arranged in the first server are acquired, and a virtual space containing a backup identifier is proposed.

For example, there is a case that a user does not need to rejoin a newly created virtual space in an old virtual space subjected to restarting, so in order to avoid resource waste, a backup identifier is set, and a backup time length is set. And canceling the backup identification of the reconstructed virtual space under the condition that the backup time length is larger than a third preset value (for example, 5 minutes), wherein the virtual space which is no longer in the backup state does not need to be rejected.

By setting the backup identifier, the embodiment shown in fig. 12 eliminates the virtual space in the backup in the matching process shown in fig. 1, thereby providing further guarantee for the user in the same room subjected to restarting to be matched to the new same room in a 'no sense'. And meanwhile, setting the backup time length for the backup mark, and canceling displaying the backup mark when the backup time length is larger than a third preset value, thereby reducing the resource waste and improving the resource utilization rate.

In an exemplary embodiment, the room information as shown in fig. 10 may be persisted in the second database so that the problem of users in the same virtual space being scattered due to server restart does not occur. Specifically, the first server is pre-arranged with N virtual spaces (N is a positive integer), each virtual space corresponding to a set of room information, wherein the virtual space arranged at the first server, the room information corresponding to which is stored in the second database. The matching scheme for the virtual space in this case is as follows:

in the virtual space matching scheme as shown in fig. 1, after performing S12 to acquire a virtual space arranged in a first server, the method includes: and acquiring a virtual space with the number of users smaller than a fourth preset value in the virtual space to obtain a third virtual space set, or executing M virtual spaces with the minimum number of users in the virtual space to obtain the third virtual space set, wherein M is a positive integer smaller than N.

Further, as a specific embodiment of S14, performing: for the third virtual space set, sequentially judging whether a target virtual space for distributing target users exists in the third virtual space set according to the sequence that the number of users corresponding to the virtual spaces is at least greater;

Further, as a specific embodiment of S16, performing: and under the condition that the third virtual space is concentrated to have the target virtual space, determining the target identity of the target virtual space, and further realizing the bidirectional communication between the terminal and the corresponding server. In the case where the target virtual space does not exist in the third virtual space set, switching to the fourth server to determine whether there is a target virtual space for allocating the target user in the virtual space arranged in the fourth server.

In the virtual space matching scheme provided by the embodiment of the specification, a random uniform matching mechanism is arranged among servers, so that uniform distribution, smooth expansion and the like of meeting resources among the servers are ensured; meanwhile, the user can join the room with more people as much as possible, and the false impression that the virtual space presents cold clearing is avoided. Based on the real-time communication capability provided by RTMS, the method is applicable to scenes with high timeliness requirements, and the single machine operation can support a distributed architecture. On the other hand, the embodiment of the specification provides pure memory for storing room information, avoids performance loss caused by disk reading and writing, has great advantage in calculation speed, and is suitable for real-time interaction scenes of large-flow, high concurrency and frequent message communication. In the case that the pure memory stores room information, the embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a "server restart matching" capability to enable a user who is on the same screen last to "feel less" to be re-matched to a new room in the case of a server restart, for the problem that may be caused after the restart.
