The invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

1 is a schematic diagram of an instant messaging system for sharing user information provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The instant messaging system for implementing user information sharing provided by the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of clients, at least one communication server, at least one global server, a control server, and at least two query servers. As shown in FIG. 1, six clients A10, All, A20, A21, A30, A31, control server 10, global server 12, three communication servers B1 B3, and three query servers C1 C3 are taken as an example for description. However, the present invention does not limit the number of clients, control servers, global servers, communication servers, and query servers. In addition, as shown in Figure 1, the client A10-A1 A20-A2 A30 A31 is connected to the communication servers B1~B3. Here, the present invention also does not limit the number of clients to which each communication server is connected.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the client A10 A11 is connected to the query server C1 and the global server 12 through the communication server B1, and the client A20 A21 is connected to the query server C2 and the global server 12 through the communication server B2, and the client The A30 A31 is connected to the query server C3 and the global server 12 via the communication server B3. The communication server B1 B3 is connected to the global server 12 through the query server C1 C3, respectively. The query server C1 C3 is connected to the control server 10. For example, the client in Shanghai is connected to the query server in Shanghai through the communication server in Shanghai. The client in Suzhou is connected to the query server in Suzhou through the communication server in Suzhou. The client in Beijing passes the communication server in Beijing and the query server in Beijing. Connected. Here, the number of query servers is the same as the number of communication servers. however, The present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the number of communication servers may be one, and the communication server may be connected to multiple query servers.

In this embodiment, the clients A10~A11, A20-A21, and A30 A31 respectively transmit and store the user information to the global server 12 through the communication server B1 B3, and the global server 12 synchronizes the user information to the query servers C1 to C3. The user information is not limited to the user login information, and may also include user modification information, user update information, and the like. Specifically, clients in different areas share the global server by connecting to different query servers through the communication server. The corresponding query server can serve the client of the corresponding area and execute the query task sent by the client (for example, querying the user information). For example, the query server in Shanghai can provide user information query service for Shanghai users, and the query server in Suzhou can provide user information query service for Suzhou users. In this way, the distributed query server is responsible for the query tasks of clients in different regions, which improves the query efficiency and makes the communication more immediate and smooth.

In this embodiment, when the number of query tasks received by the query server from the plurality of clients exceeds a threshold, the control server allocates a query task that exceeds the threshold according to the task processing priority of the query server and the task receiving policy. The threshold value can be set, for example, according to the working efficiency of different query servers. In addition, the control server sets the task processing priority of the query server according to the idle rate of the query server.

Specifically, the control server may preset a comparison table of the idle rate and the task processing priority level. For example, when the task processing priority level is set to four levels, the relationship between the idle rate and the task processing priority level is as follows: The query server with an idle rate of 80% to 100% corresponds to the fourth level, and the idle rate is 60% to 80. The query server of % corresponds to the third level, the query server with the idle rate of 40% to 60% corresponds to the second level, and the query server with the idle rate of 0% to 40% corresponds to the first level. Here, the query server having a higher idle rate has a higher priority level. However, the invention is not limited thereto. The level of the above task processing priority and its correspondence with the idle rate can be set according to actual needs.

Next, the three query servers C1 C3 and the task processing priority level are set to level 4 as an example for specific description. As shown in Figure 1, the clients A10~A11, A20-A21, and A30 A31 send query tasks to the corresponding query servers C1~C3 through the communication server B1 B3, respectively, and the control server 10 monitors the working status of the query server C1 C3 in real time. When the number of query tasks received by the query server C1 from the client A10 A11 by the communication server B1 exceeds the threshold of the query server C1, the control server 10 updates the arrangement of the task processing priorities according to the idle rates of the query servers C2, C3. If the real-time idle rate of the query server C2 is 85%, and the real-time idle rate of the query server C3 is 70%, the global server 10 can set the query server C2 to the fourth level according to the idle rate and the task processing priority level comparison table, and query the server. C3 is the third level, that is, the priority level of the query server C2 is higher than that of the query server C3. In this embodiment, according to the real-time idle rate of the query server, the task processing priority of the query server can be updated in real time. As such, the global server 12 will first assign the query task that the query server C1 exceeds its threshold to the query server C2 (ie, the query server of level 4). The query server C2 receives a corresponding number of query tasks according to the task receiving policy. Here, the task The receiving policy is the difference between the threshold of the query server and the current task amount.

If the query server C2 receives the query task assigned by the control server 10, and the total number of query tasks processed by the server does not exceed the threshold set by the query server C2, the query server C2 is responsible for executing all the query tasks exceeding the threshold of the query server C1. If the total number of query tasks processed by the query server C2 exceeds the threshold set by the query server C2, the control server 10 redistributes the query task exceeding the threshold of the query server C2 to the query server C3 (i.e., the query server of the third level). However, the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, if the total number of query tasks processed by the query server C2 exceeds the threshold set by the query server C2, the query server C2 re-allocates the query task exceeding the threshold of the query server C2 to the query server C3 (ie, the query of the third level) server). Next, it is determined whether the total number of query tasks after the query server C3 receives the query task exceeds the threshold of the query server C3. If exceeded, the control server 10 or the query server C3 can invoke the next level of the query server in the priority sequence. When there is no next level of query server, the query tasks to be processed are queued for processing. In this case, the control server 10 allocates the query task according to the combination of the idle rate and the priority of the query server, fully utilizes the query server, avoids waste of resources, and improves information query efficiency.

2 is a schematic diagram of a control server 10 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the control server 10 includes a monitoring module 100 and a control module 101. The control module 101 is connected to the monitoring module 100. The monitoring module 100 monitors the number of query tasks received by all of the query servers and transmits the number of query tasks described above to the control module 101. The control module 101 updates the task processing priority according to the idle rate of the query server, and allocates a query task exceeding the threshold according to the task processing priority and the task receiving policy.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the user logs in to the client, and the client transmits and stores the user information to the global server, and the global server synchronizes the user information to the query server. The query server receives the query task from the client through the communication server, and the monitoring module 100 of the control server 10 monitors the number of query tasks received by all the query servers. At the same time, the monitoring module 100 transmits the number of query tasks received by the monitored query server to the control module 101. After receiving the above data, the control module 101 can determine whether the data exceeds the set threshold and calculate the idle rate of the query server. When the number of query tasks received by the query server from the client exceeds its set threshold, the control module 101 of the control server 10 assigns a query task that exceeds the threshold according to the task processing priority of the query server and the task receiving policy. The process of assigning a query task according to the task processing priority and the task receiving policy by the control server 10 is the same as that described above, and therefore will not be described herein.

3 is a flow chart showing an instant messaging method for implementing user information sharing in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, in step 101, the user logs in to the client, and the client transmits and stores the user information to the global server, and the global server synchronizes the user information to the query server. In step 102, the query server receives the query task from the client through the communication server. In step 103, when the number of query tasks received by the query server from the client exceeds a threshold, the control server allocates a query task that exceeds the threshold according to the task processing priority of the query server and the task receiving policy. About The specific process of the steps is the same as described above, and therefore will not be described again.

In summary, the instant messaging system and method for realizing user information sharing according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention use a distributed query server to be responsible for query tasks of clients in different regions, and the control server will query the query task exceeding the threshold of the query server according to the query task. Task processing priority and task receiving policy are assigned.
