Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method for counting internet surfing time, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium.

Background

The personal mobile phone, tablet computer and other electronic devices can be connected to the internet through the connecting router, the router can record the electronic devices connected to the router, and the internet surfing time of the user can be counted. The router may count the internet surfing time according to the time of the message transmission, for example, after the application server receives the request from the application, the router transmits the message corresponding to the request to the application, where the time between the time when the message starts to be transmitted and the time when the message ends to be the internet surfing time of the application.

However, there is a certain difference between the internet surfing time counted according to the time length of the message transmission and the actual internet surfing time, for example, for a long video with a time length of 1 hour, the actual video buffering time is 10 minutes, in this case, since the message transmission only needs 10 minutes, the internet surfing time counted by the router is 10 minutes, but the user needs 1 hour to see the video, and the actual internet surfing time is 1 hour, therefore, the accuracy of the current method for counting the internet surfing time according to the time length of the message transmission is lower, and the actual internet surfing time of the user cannot be measured correctly.

Detailed Description

For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The terms "first" and "second" are used below for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first" or "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such feature. In the description of the present embodiment, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of an application scenario according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, this scenario involves an electronic device 100 (first device), a router 200 (second device), and the Internet (Internet).

The electronic device 100 may be connected to the internet by a wired or wireless manner, and when the electronic device 100 is connected to the internet by a wireless manner, the router 200 may be connected by a wireless communication technology. The router 200 may connect to the internet through a network transmission medium (e.g., fiber optic, coaxial cable, twisted pair, or radio waves) to enable the electronic device 100 to perform internet surfing functions (e.g., watch web video, play web games). If the electronic device 100 has a wired network interface, the electronic device 100 may also be connected to the router 200 by a wired manner.

Router 200 is a hardware device that connects two or more networks and acts as a gateway between the networks for forwarding packets in the networks. Taking the example that the user uses the application A in the electronic device, after the user clicks the application A in the electronic device, the electronic device starts the application A in response to the clicking operation of the user. The application A in the electronic equipment and the server corresponding to the application A can establish communication, and the data packet which needs to be interactively transmitted between the application A and the server corresponding to the application A can be forwarded through the router. The data packet interacted between the application a and the server corresponding to the application a may be referred to as a message.

Among other wireless communication technologies, but not limited to: wireless local area networks (wireless local area networks, WLAN), wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, wi-Fi) networks, bluetooth (BT), fifth generation mobile communication technologies (5 th generation mobilenetworks or 5th generation wireless systems, abbreviated as 5G), global navigation satellite systems (global navigation satellite system, GNSS), frequency Modulation (FM), near field wireless communication technologies (near field communication, NFC), infrared technologies (IR), and the like.

The electronic device 100 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a smart watch, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), a smart television, a wearable electronic device, or the like, which is not limited in the type of the electronic device in the embodiments of the present application.

The principle of forwarding a packet by a router is described below. Fig. 2 shows a software structure schematic diagram of a router according to an embodiment of the present application.

When the electronic equipment surfing the internet through the router, the electronic equipment packages data into a data packet and sends the data packet to a WIFI port of a driving layer in the router; after the WIFI port receives the data packet sent by the electronic device, the data packet can be transmitted to a protocol stack for unpacking, and the router can determine the target address corresponding to the data packet through unpacking analysis of the protocol stack. After the router determines the target address corresponding to the data packet, the router determines an optimal route according to a routing algorithm, and forwards the optimal route to the Internet through a network port at the other end of the router so as to enable the data packet to be transmitted to the target address. The router can also receive the data packet from the Internet through the network port, transmit the data packet to the protocol stack for unpacking, and forward the data packet to the electronic device through the WIFI port after unpacking analysis of the protocol stack. Among these, the protocol stack includes a series of network protocols, such as transmission control protocol (Transmission Control Protocol, TCP), network protocol (Internet Protocol, IP), etc., and defines rules for how the electronic device connects to the internet and how data is transferred between networks.

It should be noted that, the router is provided with an acceleration channel, and when the electronic device is surfing the internet, when there are more data packets in the sending queue, part of the data packets can be forwarded through the acceleration channel. The acceleration channel means: when the router forwards the data packet, the data packet does not pass through the protocol stack, but is directly forwarded from the driver at one end of the router to the driver at the other end, as shown in fig. 2, the data packet can be forwarded from the network port at one end of the router to the WIFI port at the other end, or the data packet is forwarded from the WIFI port at one end of the router to the network port at the other end, so as to transmit the data packet to the electronic device or the internet. When the router forwards the data packet, the processing of the protocol stack on the data packet is reduced, the processing load of the router is reduced, and the data forwarding performance can be improved, so that the aim of accelerating network data is fulfilled.

In addition, an identification module is arranged in a protocol stack of the router. The identification module can analyze each received data packet to identify the internet surfing information of the user. For example, the identification module may identify which service the user's internet information belongs to (e.g., games, video, etc.), and in particular which application in the category, by parsing the data packet, games such as queen glory, peaceful elite, etc., video, such as tremble, fast-handedness, loving, etc. For the data packet of the travel acceleration channel, the identification module can acquire the data packet through a callback module of the protocol stack, so as to analyze the data packet.

The identification module may also determine whether devices and applications are in use based on network throughput rates (packets per second, pps), and calculate the length of time to network access for different services or different applications based on the time of message transmission. The storage module can store the data analyzed by the identification module, such as the internet surfing time of a certain application, the internet surfing time of a certain service, and the like.

After the identification module analyzes the application information, the messages of the application and the service of the preset category can be processed preferentially. The electronic device of the router is connected with the WIFI drive to send the game message and the video message to the sending queue of different priorities according to the message mark, so that the message with high priority is accelerated to be forwarded, and game acceleration and net lesson acceleration functions are provided for users.

The processes of the application layer, such as a child protection process and a game acceleration process, can acquire the data in the storage module through a service process (fa process) to determine the surfing time of different services or different applications. For example, the game acceleration process registers the service statistics service with the service process, and the game acceleration process may periodically acquire the acceleration time length from the service process, and the game acceleration process may provide the acceleration time length to the electronic device, so that the electronic device may display the game acceleration time length.

That is, the router may provide the electronic device with a function of statistics of internet surfing information, for example, statistics of internet surfing time, and corresponding functions in the electronic device include a child internet surfing protection function, a game acceleration function, and the like, in addition to the internet surfing function. The following specifically takes the electronic device as an example of a mobile phone, and describes the internet surfing protection function and the game acceleration function of the electronic device.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a child internet surfing protection function according to an embodiment of the present application. A user can manage a router connected with the electronic equipment through an intelligent space application in the electronic equipment, can also see the surfing time of the child mobile phone, and can start surfing protection of the child mobile phone.

Fig. 3 (a) is a schematic diagram of a home screen interface of the electronic device. The home screen interface may include an application icon display area for displaying various types of application (App) icons, such as clock icons, calendar icons, gallery icons, memo icons, file management icons, email icons, music icons, calculator icons, video icons, sports health icons, weather icons, browser icons, smart life icons, setup icons, recorder icons, application mall icons, camera icons, address book icons, phone icons, information icons, and the like. A status bar may also be displayed above the application icon display area, the status bar may include: one or more signal strength indicators of mobile communication signals, one or more signal strength indicators of Wi-Fi signals, a power indicator of an electronic device, a time indicator, etc.

The electronic device may receive a click operation of the user on the smart space APP icon, and the electronic device may start the smart space APP in response to the click operation of the user on the smart space APP icon, and display a smart space APP main interface as shown in (b) of fig. 3. In the smart space APP main interface, states of all devices and each device added to the smart space APP by the user are displayed, for example, a television located in the first room is displayed in an area 601 shown in (b) in fig. 3, and the television is in an on-line state; a television in a second room is displayed in region 602, and the television is in an on-line state; an intelligent projector in the fourth room is shown in area 603, and the intelligent projector is off-line; in area 604, a router located in the fourth room is shown, the router name being "glory route Z3 Pro", and the router being online.

The user may click on the area 604 to view the detailed information of the router, and in response to the clicking operation of the area 604 by the user, the electronic device may display a router management interface as shown in fig. 4 (a), the router management interface may display a full-house WLAN coverage thermodynamic diagram, and the user may edit a house type diagram in the home to generate the full-house WLAN coverage thermodynamic diagram. The router management interface may also display the network environment, the download rate and upload rate of the network, e.g., the current network environment is good. The router management interface may also display options for multiple functions provided by the router, such as an "access device" option, a "Beta bill of lading" option, a "child internet surfing" option, an "smart detection" option, etc., where a user may operate in the router management interface to manage the router.

When the user wants to view the surfing time of the surfing of the child, the user can click on the surfing option of the child. The electronic device, in response to a click operation of the "child internet" option by the user, may display an interface for selecting a device as shown in (b) of fig. 4, which may display a device that is using the child internet protection function, for example, may display a type of the device, a name of the device, and the like. In addition, the device that has been connected or connected to the router but has not turned on the child internet protection is also displayed in the interface of the selection device. As shown in fig. 4 (b), the mobile phone "glory V40 light luxury" is using the child internet surfing protection function, and other devices such as device 1, device 2, and device 3 do not turn on the child internet surfing protection function. The user may click on an indicator on the right side of the device identification to enter a details page, turn on or off child internet protection for a device, or view more detailed internet information.

For example, the user may click on an indicator on the right side of "glory V40 light luxury", and the electronic device may display a detail page interface corresponding to the mobile phone "glory V40 light luxury" as shown in (a) of fig. 5, and the detail page interface may display internet information (internet time length/application used, etc.) of the mobile phone "glory V40 light luxury" and related settings of internet protection of the mobile phone "glory V40 light luxury". For example, the details page interface displays a "one-click-to-break" option, and the user may click on the "one-click-to-break" option, and the electronic device sends a request to the router, and after receiving the request, the router disconnects the connection with the mobile phone "glory V40 light luxury" and prevents the mobile phone "glory V40 light luxury" from connecting to the internet. The drop-down option frame corresponding to the one-key-off option can comprise various choices of immediate off-line, off-line after 10 minutes, off-line after 30 minutes, off-line after 1 hour, and the like, one of which can be selected by a user, and the router can disconnect the network of the mobile phone 'glory V40 light luxury' after the corresponding time. The details page interface also displays a "all allowed" option, after which the protected device "glows V40 light luxury" will not be limited by other rules (e.g., duration limitations, period limitations, etc.) and immediately resume surfing.

The detail page interface also displays the contents of internet time statistics, internet surfing permission time period, internet surfing permission time duration, internet surfing permission application and the like. Specifically, the user may set a period of time that the protected device is allowed to surf the internet, and the protected device will not be able to surf the internet for a period of time that is not configured, e.g., the user sets that surfing can be done daily at 12:00-13:00, and then "glowing V40 light luxury" may surf the internet for a period of time of 12:00-13:00. The user can also set the duration that the protected device is allowed to surf the internet, and the protected device cannot surf the internet after the duration is used up. The surfing time is only valid in the surfing time period. For example, if the user does not set the time period for allowing surfing, and only sets the monday longest surfing time of the protected equipment to be 6 hours, surfing the protected equipment for 6 hours on monday whole day cannot be continued; if the maximum monday surfing time is set to be 6 hours and surfing is only allowed in the 8:00-23:00 time period, the protected equipment can only surf the internet for 6 hours in the 8:00-23:00 time period of monday. The user may also close or open the access rights of certain applications, e.g. after opening the game application switch, the 23 applications in the corresponding application list are allowed to be accessed.

The user may click on an indicator of the internet time statistics function, and in response to the click operation by the user, the electronic device may display an interface as shown in (b) in fig. 5, the internet time statistics function classifies applications identified by router support into five other categories of learning, social, video, game, and statistics according to different time periods (e.g., yesterday, today, and the week). The user can respectively see the internet surfing time of each class of application of the protected equipment in yesterday, today and week and the internet surfing condition of the specific application.

When the user wants to view the data after the game acceleration, the user may click on the "more" option as shown in (a) of fig. 4, and the electronic device may display an interface as shown in (a) of fig. 6, which displays more functional options such as net lesson acceleration, game acceleration, upgrade management, etc., in response to the click operation of the "more" option by the user.

The user may set the game acceleration, and may acquire acceleration information at the time of "game acceleration", for example, the user may click on a "game acceleration" option displayed in an interface shown in (a) of fig. 6, and the electronic device may display a "game acceleration" interface shown in (b) of fig. 6 in response to a click operation by the user. In the "game acceleration" interface, a record of game acceleration by the router is displayed, such as, for example, the current time, the acceleration duration, the reduced packet loss rate, the delay rate, and the like.

When implementing the above-mentioned internet information statistics function based on the principle of fig. 2, the router may calculate the internet time according to the current generated flow, that is, the time of transmitting the message, for example, after receiving the request from the application, the application server transmits the message corresponding to the request to the application, where the time between the time when the message starts to be transmitted and the time when the message ends to be the internet time of the application. The counted internet time length of the application is often considered as the actual internet time length of the user, but for some applications, such as games, short videos, long videos, lessons, social contact, etc., messages may not be always transmitted between the application and the application server in the whole connection process, so that the internet time length counted according to the message transmission time length has a certain difference from the actual internet time length.

For example, when the user looks at a long video with a duration of 1 hour, the actual video buffering time is 10 minutes, that is, the video data is already buffered 10 minutes, and the video playing will not generate traffic without message transmission after buffering, in this case, since the message transmission only needs 10 minutes, the internet surfing time counted by the router is 10 minutes, but the user needs 1 hour to look at the video, and the actual internet surfing time is 1 hour. For another example, when the user swipes the jittered audio and short videos, the flow of each short video may only need to transmit for 5 seconds, but the time required for watching the short video is 1 minute, in this case, the internet surfing time counted by the router is 5 seconds, which is 8% of the actual use time, and if the user is limited to watch the jittered audio and video for only 10 minutes, the time for the user to watch the jittered audio and video is actually much longer than 10 minutes. The duration of the user actually surfing the internet may be longer than the duration of surfing the internet counted by the router, which may cause the router to be unable to perform surfing limitation on devices (especially child devices) connected to the router according to the surfing duration preset by the user. For another example, the user plays a 1 hour and flat elite game, and only a lot of intermittent (for example, about 30 seconds) acceleration records are seen in the game acceleration records, and long-time game acceleration information is not displayed, so that the user cannot see the real acceleration time, and the user satisfaction may be reduced.

In short, the accuracy of the method for counting the actual internet time based on the time of message transmission is low, and the actual internet time of the user cannot be measured correctly.

In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for counting a duration of surfing the internet, at least one application is installed on an electronic device, after a user starts a first application, a connection is established between the first application and a corresponding application server, and a message is transmitted between the first application and the application server through a router. The router monitors a duration of connection establishment to disconnection from the beginning after detecting that the first application establishes a connection with the corresponding server. The router determines the surfing time of the first application according to the duration from the starting of connection establishment to disconnection.

Based on the calculation scheme, after connection is established between the application and the corresponding server, the connection can continuously exist in the whole process of using the application by a user, the connection can be sometimes provided with traffic and sometimes not provided with traffic, but the connection can always exist, and the connection can not be disconnected until the application stops being used, so that the connection between the application and the corresponding server is used for determining the internet surfing time from the beginning of the establishment to the disconnection, the required internet surfing time can be counted more accurately, the actual internet surfing time of the user can be measured more accurately, and the use experience of the user on the route product service is improved.

Wherein the first application is any application of the at least one application that establishes a connection with the application server. The first application may be one application or may be a plurality of applications, which may be of the same type or may be of different types. And determining the internet surfing time length corresponding to the application of the same type in at least one application and the internet surfing time length corresponding to the electronic equipment according to the internet surfing time length of the first application.

As a user launches an application, different interfaces of the application are opened, and various connections (conntrack) are established between the application and the corresponding server using different functions of the application. For example, when the application 1 is used by a user, the application 1 and the server can establish a connection related to chat, when the user uses the application 1 to watch video, the application 1 and the server can establish a connection related to video, and when the user uses the application 1 to pay, the application 1 and the server can establish a connection related to payment.

Wherein the router uses the Linux system, the router can monitor the duration of connection from the beginning of the connection establishment to the disconnection through connection tracking (nf_conntrack). The connection tracking mechanism supported by the router is described below.

As the name implies, connection tracking is to track a connection, and is used to identify a message sent by an electronic device to a server or a message sent by the server to the electronic device on a connection after the connection is established, record information related to the connection, and store a connection state. The connection and connection tracking are in a one-to-one correspondence, one connection tracking being used to identify a connection between a client (an application on an electronic device used by a user, such as a tremble client) and a corresponding server (such as a tremble server).

A number of messages (skb) are transmitted over a connection, one message belonging to each connection, through which the connection to which the message belongs can be found. After receiving a message, the router can analyze the message, if the message does not belong to the existing connection, which means that the application is establishing a new connection, the router needs to create a new connection track, identify the information of the message, and record a new piece of information related to the connection; if the message is found to belong to the existing connection after the message is analyzed, the information related to the connection recorded through connection tracking is updated.

The information related to the connection may include one or more of the following: basic information of applications and servers (e.g., five-tuple information, protocol type, source address, source port, destination address, destination port), application identification, application type (service) identification, connection lifetime, connection status, creation time, number of packets sent, network layer protocol, protocol type code of network layer, transport layer protocol type code, number of bytes sent, etc. The information related to the connection may be stored in a database and the router may maintain and constantly update the database.

Illustratively, one piece of information of the connection trace record may be: "ipv4, 2, tcp, 6, 192, ESTABLISHED, src = 192.168.3.3, dst= 101.91.33.146, sport=53332, dport=7889, src= 101.91.33.146, dst= 192.168.3.3, sport=7889, dport=53332, sc_id=100, sc_categ=4".

The protocol of the network layer is Internet protocol version 4 (Internet Protocol Version, ipv 4), the protocol type code of the ipv4 is 2, the protocol of the transmission layer is tcp, the protocol type code of tcp is 6, the connection life time is 192s, the connection state is ESTABLISHED, src represents a source address, dst represents a destination address, sport represents a source port, and dport represents a destination port.

Assuming that the port of the electronic device is "53332", the port of the server of the application a is "7889", the IP address of the electronic device is 192.168.3.3, and the IP address of the server of the application a is 101.91.33.146, that is, one terminal having the IP address 192.168.3.3 is connected to the terminal having the port 7889 by using the TCP protocol through the port 53332, and the IP address is 101.91.33.146. When the electronic device sends a message to the server, the source address src is 192.168.3.3, the source port spin is 53332, the destination address dst is 101.91.33.146, and the destination port dport is 7889. When the server sends a message to the electronic equipment, the source address src is 101.91.33.146, the source port sport is 7889, the destination address dst is 192.168.3.3, and the destination port dport is 53332.

Further, the sc_id field represents an application identification for determining to which application the connection belongs. The sc_category field represents the application type for determining to which service the connection belongs. Each application in the electronic device may be represented by an application identifier (Identity document, id), and specific application identifier information is not limited, for example, each application may be numbered in advance, and the number is used as the corresponding id. For example, application 1, application 2, application 3, application 4, application 5 may be numbered 100, 200, 301, 401, 804, respectively.

The plurality of applications in the electronic device may be classified into different types, one type of application corresponding to one type of service (category), the service may be classified into a video class, a game class (e.g., such as king glory, peaceful elite, heavenly fighter, etc.), a learning class (e.g., learning through, work group, etc.), a social class (e.g., weChat, QQ, microblog, etc.), a shopping class (e.g., naught, beijing le, box horse, etc.), a live broadcast class, net lesson class, etc. Different services may be represented by the identifier, and information specifically used as the identifier is not limited, for example, a corresponding number may be set in advance for each service, and the number may be used as the corresponding identifier. For example, the numbers of the video class, the game class, and the learning class may be 1, 2, and 3, respectively.

The connection status may include ESTABLISHED and others (e.g., TIME WAIT), which is in-use when the user uses the application to surf the internet, and which is indicated in the recorded information. After the application exits the background, the connection is disconnected and the recorded information is represented by TIME_WAIT. And when the internet surfing time is calculated, calculating through the connection with the state of ESTABLISHED.

The connection lifetime may also be referred to as the decay lifetime, and there is an initial lifetime, i.e. the maximum allowed lifetime of the connection, when a new connection is established, the lifetime decreases every second, the lifetime decreases by 1 second every 1 second(s) in the past, and the lifetime resets to the initial value whenever a new message on the connection is received. For example, the lifetime corresponding to a connection using tcp protocol may initially be 432000 seconds.

The router may determine the total length of surfing from the device dimensions for each device based on the five tuple information. Because the private fields sc_id and sc_category are added in the connection tracking, the router can also count the internet surfing time of each application in the electronic equipment from the application dimension through the sc_id, and can count the internet surfing time of each service in the electronic equipment from the service dimension through the sc_category.

Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram of a router according to an embodiment of the present application. The principle of router forwarding data packets and counting the duration of surfing the internet is described below in connection with fig. 7.

When the mobile phone surfing the internet through the router, the mobile phone packages data into a data packet and sends the data packet to a WIFI port of a driving layer in the router; after the WIFI port receives the data packet sent by the mobile phone, the data packet can be transmitted to a protocol stack for unpacking, and the router can determine the target address corresponding to the data packet through unpacking analysis of the protocol stack. After the router determines the target address corresponding to the data packet, the router determines an optimal route according to a routing algorithm, and forwards the optimal route to the Internet through a network port at the other end of the router so as to enable the data packet to be transmitted to the target address. The router can also receive the data packet from the Internet through the network port, transmit the data packet to the protocol stack for unpacking, and forward the data packet to the mobile phone through the WIFI port after unpacking analysis of the protocol stack.

The protocol stack defines, among other things, rules how the electronic device connects to the internet and how data is transferred between networks. Included in the protocol stack are a number of network protocols such as transmission control protocol (Transmission Control Protocol, TCP), network protocol (Internet Protocol, IP), hypertext transfer protocol (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, HTTP), file transfer protocol (File Transfer Protocol, FTP), simple mail transfer protocol (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, SMTP), user datagram protocol (User Datagram Protocol, UDP), address resolution protocol (Address Resolution Protocol, ARP), and routing protocol.

It should be noted that, the router is provided with an acceleration channel, and when the mobile phone is surfing the internet, when there are more data packets in the transmission queue, part of the data packets can be forwarded through the acceleration channel. The acceleration channel means: when the router forwards the data packet, the data packet does not pass through the protocol stack, but is directly forwarded from the driver at one end of the router to the driver at the other end, as shown in fig. 7, the data packet can be forwarded from the network port at one end of the router to the WIFI port at the other end, or the data packet is forwarded from the WIFI port at one end of the router to the network port at the other end, so as to transmit the data packet to the mobile phone or the internet. When the router forwards the data packet, the processing of the protocol stack on the data packet is reduced, the processing load of the router is reduced, and the data forwarding performance can be improved, so that the aim of accelerating network data is fulfilled.

An identification module is arranged in a protocol stack of the router. After the router receives the message, the identification module can analyze the message to identify which type of service the message belongs to and which application the message belongs to. And then recording the application identifier and the service identifier into the relevant information of the connection to which the message belongs, so that when the internet surfing time length is counted according to the information obtained by connection tracking, the corresponding internet surfing time length can be counted from the service dimension and the application dimension. It should be noted that, after the identification module identifies the application identifier and the service identifier in the first packet of one connection or in a certain packet, the subsequent packet on this connection does not identify the application and the service any more, that is, each packet does not need to be identified, so that the workload of the identification module is reduced, the processing load of the router is reduced, and the performance of the router can be improved.

Each piece of connection-related information of the connection tracking record is stored in the database (/ proc/nrt/nf_conntrack). The manager (cms process) can acquire information related to the connection from the database according to a preset period, and statistics on the internet time from the equipment dimension, the application dimension and the service dimension according to the information related to the connection. In the embodiment of the present application, the duration of the preset period is not limited, for example, the preset period may be 10s, the cms process counts the online duration once from the device dimension, the application dimension, and the service dimension every 10s, and writes the counted online duration into the storage module (/ proc/atp_sc/xxx_stats), and 3 files may be used to respectively store data in three dimensions.

For example, the specific file content of the file/var/serv_stats corresponding to the application dimension may be in the form of a table, as shown in table 1, where the index column is an application identifier, for example, 401 is application 4, 804 is application 5, the application identifier is negotiated by the electronic device, the application and the router, and when the electronic device receives the internet surfing time period corresponding to the identifier 401, the internet surfing time period of the application 4 may be displayed on the corresponding functional interface. The Active state Active indicates whether the application is surfing the internet, and if surfing the internet has stopped, the Active state Active is denoted as active=0, and if surfing the internet is performed, the Active state Active is denoted as active=1. The internet surfing time length is updated every 10s, if the application is surfing, the internet surfing time length is increased every 10s, if the application stops surfing, the internet surfing time length is not updated, for example, the application 5 is detected to stop surfing at 100s, the internet surfing time length is stopped at 80s, after the application 5 is detected to surfing again at 500s, and the internet surfing time length in 490s-500s period is 7s, and the 80s is updated to 87s at 500 s. The business dimension and the device dimension are similar to the application dimension. The index column in the file/var/category_stats corresponding to the service dimension may be the number of the service. In the file/var/host_stats corresponding to the device dimension, the index column may be a device number, for example, d2:09:7a:32:00:73.

It should be noted that, in any dimension, a new table may be generated at zero daily to record the time of surfing the internet on the same day, and the table has a storage time limit, and the storage time limit may be 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, or the like, for example, the storage time limit is 7 days, and then one table may be deleted after 7 days are created, so as to save the router memory. Or, recording the value of the surfing time length at the zero point time to determine the surfing time length of each day.

Table 1 internet time for each application

For the data packet of the travel acceleration channel, the identification module can acquire the data packet through a callback module of the protocol stack, so as to analyze the data packet. After the identification module analyzes the internet surfing information, the messages of the application and the service of the preset category can be processed preferentially. The router can actively identify messages and mark the game messages and the video messages when the mobile phone accessing the router through the WIFI accesses the game or watching the network class, and the WIFI driver places the game messages and the video messages into sending queues with different priorities according to the message marks, so that messages with high priority are accelerated to be forwarded, and game acceleration and network class acceleration functions are provided for users.

The processes of the application layer, such as a child protection process and a game acceleration process, can acquire the data in the storage module through a service process (fa process) to determine the surfing time of different services or different applications. For example, the game acceleration process registers the service statistics service with the service process, the service process may send the acceleration duration to the game acceleration process at regular time, and the game acceleration process may send the acceleration duration to the mobile phone, so that the mobile phone may display the game acceleration duration. For example, the service process obtains incremental statistics of applications/services and service activity information from the storage module every 30 seconds. The child protection process obtains incremental internet data for the device/application/service from the storage module every 2 minutes.

Taking the example that the first application comprises application 1 as an example, the internet surfing time length statistical method is described from the application dimension.

After the connection is established between the application 1 and the corresponding server, the cms process may acquire the information related to the connection, monitor the duration from the start to the end of the connection according to the information related to the connection, and then determine the internet surfing duration corresponding to the application 1 according to the duration from the start to the end of the connection. It should be understood that at least one connection is established between the application 1 and the corresponding server, and the cms process screens at least one connection corresponding to the application 1 from the database through the application identifier.

In one implementation, for each connection, the router records a time when the connection starts to be established (first time), and records a time when the connection is disconnected (second time), and determines a union of duration of the plurality of connections according to the plurality of first times and the plurality of second times corresponding to the plurality of connections, so as to determine a surfing duration corresponding to the application 1. The first time and the second time may be stored in a database as information related to the connection.

For example, the connection 1, the connection 2 and the connection 3 are corresponding to the application 1, the first time and the second time of the connection 1 are respectively 13:00 and 15:00, the first time and the second time of the connection 1 are respectively 08:00 and 14:00, the first time and the second time of the connection 3 are respectively 19:00 and 20:00, and the union is 08:00-15:00 plus 19:00-20:00, and the surfing time period corresponding to the application 1 is 8 hours.

When a user enters a functional interface shown in fig. 5 and 6, the electronic device can request to acquire the internet surfing time length from the router, the router can judge whether the connection of the application 1 is disconnected or not, and if the connection of the application 1 is disconnected, the disconnection time of each connection is a second time; if the connection of the application 1 is not disconnected, determining the current moment as a second moment of disconnection; and determining duration time of a plurality of connections according to the first moment and the second moment, and further determining the current internet surfing time of the application 1. The router sends the internet surfing time of the application 1 to the electronic equipment, and the electronic equipment displays the internet surfing time.

Or, whether the electronic device requests to acquire the internet surfing time length, the router can count the internet surfing time length every day or every week, for example, the router monitors the internet surfing time length of the application 1 every certain time period, the time period length can be 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and the like, and the first time and the second time corresponding to the application 1 can be determined during monitoring, wherein if the connection of the application 1 is disconnected, the disconnection time of each connection is the second time; if the connection of the application 1 is not disconnected, the current moment is determined as a second moment of disconnection.

Under the condition that the maximum internet time is set by a user, the router can monitor the earliest first moment corresponding to the application 1, monitor whether the internet time of the application 1 reaches the maximum internet time or not at intervals of a certain period, and prohibit the application 1 from surfing the internet when the maximum internet time is reached; if the maximum internet time is not reached, continuing monitoring. The time period length may be determined according to the maximum internet time length, for example, the maximum internet time length is 6 hours, and then the time period length may be 1 hour, 2 hours, or the like. The router may calculate the remaining internet surfing time length of the application 1 at each monitoring time, and continuously reduce the time period length according to the remaining internet surfing time length, for example, the maximum internet surfing time length is 6 hours, the remaining internet surfing time length is 6 hours, the time period length may be 6 hours, the remaining internet surfing time length is 1 hour, and the time period length may be 20 minutes.

If the internet surfing time of each day is counted, the first time and the second time can be determined according to the natural day in the time of day (00:00-24:00). If the time to surf the internet weekly is counted, the first time and the second time may be determined during the time of the week (e.g., from monday 00:00 to sunday 24:00).

It should be understood that the service dimension and the device dimension may also determine the internet surfing time in this manner, which will not be described in detail later.

In another implementation, a preset period is first determined, for example, the preset period is 10s, and then the cms process determines the surfing time of the application 1 in one preset period at 10s, 20s, 30s, … …, respectively. Specifically, at each preset period node, calculating the duration of each connection in each preset period, determining the surfing time of the application 1 in one preset period according to the duration of each connection in the same preset period, and adding the surfing time of each preset period to obtain the surfing time corresponding to the application 1. According to the period statistics, the internet surfing time length of each dimension can be determined more timely, the internet surfing time length is displayed in an interface of the electronic equipment timely, and the limitation of the internet surfing time length is realized.

For a duration of a connection that lasts for a preset period, in one implementation, at each period node, a duration of the connection that lasts for the preset period is determined according to the first duration and the second duration. The first duration is the survival duration of the initialization of the connection, namely the maximum allowed survival duration, and the second duration is the remaining survival duration corresponding to the end time of the preset period of the connection. Specifically, the cms process calculates the difference between the first duration and the second duration, and if the difference is smaller than a preset period, the duration of connection in the preset period is the duration corresponding to the difference. If the difference is greater than or equal to the preset period, the duration of the connection in the preset period is the duration of one period.

For example, as shown in fig. 8, application 1 corresponds to connection 1 and connection 2, connection 1 is established at 15s, connection 2 is established at 2s, and the initialized connection lifetime is 200s. For connection 1, when the 20 th s counts the online time period, the connection survival time period decays to 195s, then the first time period minus the second time period equals 5s,5s <10s, so the duration of connection 1 is 5s in the period of 10s-20 s. For connection 2, when the 20 th s statistics surfing time period, the connection survival time period decays to 182s, then the first time period minus the second time period is equal to 18s,18s >10s, and therefore, in the period of 10s-20s, the connection 2 has a duration of 10s.

In another implementation, the duration of the connection for one period is determined from the flag bit (active) of the connection. Acquiring a current marker bit connected with each period node; under the condition that the flag bit is a first flag bit (active=0), determining duration of connection in a current preset period according to a difference value between the first duration and the second duration; in the case where the flag bit is the second flag bit (active=1), the duration of the preset period is determined as the duration of the connection in the current preset period. By setting the flag bit, the duration of the connection in the period can be more accurately determined.

In one implementation, the first flag bit and the second flag bit may be determined from a message received over the connection. When a new connection is established, the initialization flag bit is set to active=0, and when a new message on the connection is received, the flag bit is set to active=1.

In another implementation manner, the first flag bit and the second flag bit may be determined according to a duration of time in a previous preset period connected to the current preset period, where the duration of time in the previous preset period is 0, then active=0, and the duration of time in the previous preset period is greater than 0, then active=1. Specifically, after receiving a message, the router finds that there is no corresponding connection in the database, establishes a new connection, and sets an initialization flag bit to active=0 when a new connection is established. And screening out the connection with the state of ESTABLISHED in all the connections corresponding to the application at the statistical node, if the active=0 of the connection, the duration of the connection in the period is the difference between the first duration and the second duration, and if the difference is greater than 0, the active of the connection is updated to be 1. If active=1 of a connection, the duration of the connection in a cycle is the cycle length. After determining the duration of the connection in the period, the active state of all the connections to which the application corresponds is updated, and for the connections of other states than ESTABLISHED, the active=0 is updated. The flag bit may be stored in a database as information related to the connection.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 8, connection 1 is established at 15s and connection 2 is established at 2 s. When the 20 th s counts the online time period, the states of the connection 1 and the connection 2 are ESTABLISHED, the active of the connection 1=0 and the active of the connection 2=1, so that in the period of 10s-20s, the duration of the connection 1 is 5s, the duration of the connection 2 is 10s, then the active of the connection 1 is updated to 1, and the active of the connection 2 is still 1. When the 30s statistics is on the internet time, the states of the connection 1 and the connection 2 are ESTABLISHED, the active of the connection 1 is=1, and the active of the connection 2 is=1, so that in the period of 20s-30s, the duration of the connection 1 and the connection 2 is 10s, and the updated active is still 1. When the 40 th s counts the internet TIME, the state of the connection 1 is changed and is in the time_wait state, so that the duration of the connection 1 is 0s in the period of 30s-40s, and then the active of the connection 1 is updated to 0. The state of connection 2 is also ESTABLISHED, active=1 of connection 2, and the duration of connection 1 is 10s in the period of 30s-40s, and the updated active is still 1. If the connection 1 is multiplexed afterwards, the active state of the connection can be updated and the duration of the connection 1 calculated.

After the duration of each connection in each period is calculated, comparing a plurality of durations obtained in the period in one statistical period, determining the longest duration as the surfing duration of the application 1 in the statistical period, and adding the surfing duration of the application 1 in each statistical period to obtain the actual surfing duration of the application 1.

For example, as shown in fig. 9, the connection corresponding to the application 1 includes: connection 1, connection 2, connection 3, connection 4, connection 5, connection 1 being established at 15s, connection 2 being established at 2s, connection 3 being established at 13s, connection 4 being established at 11s, connection 5 being established at 6 s. The duration of connection 2 is 8s and the duration of connection 5 is 4s in a period of 0s-10s, and the internet surfing duration of application 1 is 8s in a period of 0s-10s because of 8s >4 s. In the period of 10s-20s, the duration of connection 1 is 5s, the duration of connection 2 is 10s, the duration of connection 3 is 7s, the duration of connection 4 is 9s, and the duration of connection 5 is 10s, so the surfing duration of application 1 in the period of 10s-20s is 10s. Similarly, the Internet surfing time of application 1 is 10s in the period of 20s-30 s. Of the durations of 0s-30s, the surfing duration of application 1 is 8s+10s+10s=28s.

For the service dimension, one type of service corresponds to at least one application, for example, the game service includes an application 1 and an application 2, the connection corresponding to the application 1 includes a connection 1 to a connection 5, and the connection corresponding to the application 2 includes a connection 6 and a connection 7. The router acquires all information (such as information from connection 1 to connection 7) related to a certain type of service (such as game) from the database according to the service identification, monitors the duration from the start of connection establishment to the end of connection, and then determines the Internet surfing duration corresponding to the certain type of service according to the duration from the start of connection establishment to the end of connection. The specific calculation method is similar to the application dimension, and by way of example, the duration of each connection in each period can be calculated by the implementation in the application dimension. And in one statistical period, comparing a plurality of duration obtained in the period, determining the longest duration as the surfing duration of the type of service in the statistical period, and adding the surfing duration of the type of service in each statistical period to obtain the actual surfing duration of the type of service.

For the device dimension, the router may connect to a plurality of electronic devices, one electronic device may have at least one application installed thereon, and the router may obtain, from the database, all connection-related information corresponding to the first electronic device according to quintuple information (e.g., a source address), monitor a duration of connection from start to end, and then determine a duration of surfing the internet corresponding to the first electronic device according to the duration of connection from start to end. The specific calculation method is similar to the application dimension, and by way of example, the duration of each connection in each period can be calculated by the implementation in the application dimension. And in one statistical period, comparing a plurality of duration obtained in the period, determining the longest duration as the internet surfing duration of the first electronic equipment in the statistical period, and adding the internet surfing duration of the first electronic equipment in each statistical period to obtain the actual internet surfing duration of the first electronic equipment.

In one implementation manner, the internet time of the application may be calculated first, and then the internet time of the service and the internet time of the first electronic device may be calculated. For example, for a service dimension/device dimension, in one statistical period, the internet surfing time lengths of a plurality of applications obtained in the period are compared, the longest internet surfing time length is determined as the internet surfing time length of the service of the type or the internet surfing time length of the first electronic device in the statistical period, and then the internet surfing time lengths in each statistical period are added to obtain the total internet surfing time length. For example, the first electronic device installs the application 1 and the application 2, the application 1 and the application 2 are both game types, the internet surfing time length of the application 1 is 8s in a period of 0s-10s, the internet surfing time length of the application 2 is 10s, the internet surfing time length of the game service is 10s in a period of 0s-10s, and the internet surfing time length of the first electronic device is 10s.

It should be noted that, in some scenarios, the router is connected to an electronic device, and an application is installed in the electronic device, and when the internet surfing time length is counted, the router does not need to obtain application identification, service identification and device identification information.

Based on the above method, when the duration of the user watching the video is 1 hour, the duration of the video surfing is 1 hour, and when the duration of the user playing the game is 10 minutes, the duration of the game acceleration is 10 minutes, which is displayed in the interface shown in fig. 6 (b).

In summary, in the embodiment of the present application, by modifying the link native connection tracking nf_conntrack, the connection between the application client and the application server can be associated with a specific service and an application, and the internet surfing time can be counted from the device dimension, the service dimension and the specific application dimension, respectively. The router records the related information of the whole process of communication between the application client and the application server through connection tracking, counts the surfing time according to the time that the client and the server keep the connection, can determine the connection state every 10s after connection establishment, can increase the surfing time if the connection state is not disconnected, and stops counting the surfing time if the connection is disconnected. Based on the method provided by the embodiment of the application, the router can accurately count the Internet surfing time length of the electronic equipment, the Internet surfing time length of the service and the Internet surfing time length of the application, so that the electronic equipment can accurately display the Internet surfing time length of the equipment, the game and class acceleration time length and the like on the app, the use experience of a user on the service of the routing product is improved, and the method belongs to a general solution.
