detailed description

The invention is further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. While the embodiments of the present invention have been shown in the drawings, the embodiments Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be more fully understood and the scope of the disclosure will be fully disclosed.

To solve the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a communication method between a page and a long connection server. 1 is a flow chart showing the processing of a method of communication between a page and a persistent connection server in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the communication method between the page and the persistent connection server includes at least steps S102 to S106:

Step S102: Find a long connection server according to the long connection server address sent by the current page, and establish a long connection channel between the local and the long connection server.

Before step S102, the current page finds its corresponding long connection server address and forwards it. Correspondingly, in step S102, the long connection server address sent by the current page is received, and the corresponding long connection server is found correspondingly, thereby establishing a long connection channel between the local and the long connection server. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present invention does not need to establish a long connection channel between the page and the long connection server, but establishes a long connection channel with the long connection server in other applications or clients or devices or devices other than the page. For the page, this connection method will not be good at liberating the pages that communicate with the long connection server, reducing the load on the page and improving the work efficiency of the page.

Correspondingly, in order to reduce the load of the page, before the implementation of step S102, it is also necessary to select a main body capable of establishing a stable long connection channel with the long connection server as an implementation body of the communication method between the page and the long connection server. That is, the main body has independent communication capabilities and can communicate with the long connection server. Stable long connection channel is not required Manual maintenance reduces manual wear and tear compared to communication between a normal page and a long connection server in the prior art. In addition, the long connection channel is stable, and it is not necessary to use a polling mechanism to periodically ask whether there is data update, whether message transmission or push is needed, and the purpose of pushing or transmitting updated data or messages in real time can be achieved, and the delay is reduced.

Preferably, flash can be used as a main body to implement a communication method between the page and the long connection server. The reason for choosing flash is to consider the function of flash, which can communicate directly with the server, such as receiving the content sent by the long connection server, and so on; and can communicate with the page (also called the front end), for example, from The content received by the long connection server goes to page processing and so on. Further, at this time, a long connection channel can be established between the flash and the long connection server by using the FLASH socket protocol adapted to the flash.

The long connection server address is obtained as follows. The page first sends a request message requesting a long connection server address to the corresponding service server. After receiving the request message, the service server allocates a long connection server to the page, and sends the assigned long connection server address to the page by using a response message. Then, the page receives the response message including the long connection server address returned by the service server, and then sends the long connection server address to the body selected as the implementation body selected in this embodiment. Subsequently, the principal uses the long connection server address to find the assigned long connection server and establishes a long connection channel (ie, step S102).

Step S104: Receive a transmission message sent by the persistent connection server.

In this step, the long connection server will identify different subjects and send the corresponding messages to different subjects. To identify a different entity, after the local entity establishes a long connection channel with the persistent connection server, the identifier (ID) of the current page is sent to the long connection server, so that the long connection server finds the content delivery object according to the ID, where The local identifier corresponds to the ID one by one. That is, each body is bound to the page, and its ID is the same. The long connection server identifies the destination address of each transmission message according to the ID, reduces the probability of packet loss, and improves the security and reliability of message transmission.

Step S106: Forward the transmission message to the current page.

After receiving the transmitted message, the subject forwards it to the current page for processing by the current page.

According to the above analysis, in the embodiment of the present invention, the host with the communication capability replaces the page and communicates with the long connection server, and the page only needs to process the forwarding message for the main body, and does not need to periodically and actively query the long connection server for existence. New messages improve the real-time nature of message reception. The long connection established between the main body and the long connection server The channel is stable, does not require manual maintenance, reduces resource loss, and the stable long connection channel is not prone to packet loss and packet leakage events, which greatly increases the security and reliability of message transmission.

The page mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention includes a browser page, and further includes an online game page, a package receiving page and/or a user information collecting page in a mobile game, a chat page of a video application, a shopping mall page, a chat room page, and the like. .

In the embodiment of the present invention, there are various types of transmission messages delivered by the persistent connection server, and the most important ones include:

The first is the business message sent by other pages through the business server.

For example, the online notification message sent by the game page for the friend, the message pushing or transmitting object is the specified user group (the number of friends usually ranges from one to several hundred);

The second type is the system message broadcast by the service server.

For example, the system notification issued by the game page, the upgrade maintenance notice of the game page, the new server notification, the user function increase notification, etc., the message push or transmission object is the entire system user.

The transport message (service message and/or system message) sent by the long connection server to the page includes the ID of the page, and the long connection server uses the ID to identify the body corresponding to the ID, and transmits the message (service message). And/or system messages) are sent to the principal.

Take the chat page as an example. This page needs to interact with other pages. This page can be used as a message sender or as a message receiver. When this page is used as the sender of the message, the message is sent to the service server, which is forwarded by the service server to the long connection server, and then forwarded to other pages by the long connection server. When this page is used as the message receiver, it receives the message sent from the long connection server, of course, the message comes from other pages. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the page can perform information interaction with other pages, so that it can be applied to functions such as chat, chat room, and live room. Specifically, the chat pages are interacted according to the following steps:

The long connection server pushes the service message to different flashes. Different users have their own flash. The long connection server can identify different pages for targeted transmission, that is, through a long connection channel, targeted to someone. (page user).

Now take flash as an example to illustrate. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a message transmission path of a flash as a main communication method between a page and a long connection server according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that the message transmitted in this example is a service between pages. Message. Referring to Figure 2, the transmission process of each path in the figure is as follows:

Step S202: The page sends a request message for requesting a long connection server address to the service server;

Step S204: The service server returns an address of the persistent connection server.

Step S206, the page notifies the flash of the address of the long connection server;

Step S208, the flash establishes a socket connection with the long connection server corresponding to the address;

Step S210: The page sends a service message to the service server.

Step S212: The service server forwards the service message sent by the service page to the service server to the persistent connection server.

Step S214: The long connection server pushes the service message to other pages.

Step S216, the long connection server finds that there is a service message corresponding to the page, and pushes the corresponding service message to the flash;

Step S218: The flash sends the service message pushed by the long connection server to the page.

The flow shown in FIG. 2 summarizes three parts. Steps S202 to S208 are a long connection establishment process between the flash and the long connection server, steps S210 to S214 are page sending service messages to other pages, and steps S216 to S218 are page reception. Business messages on other pages. The steps S210 to S214 and the steps S216 to S218 are independent, and there is no time or order limitation between them.

As can be seen from the flow of FIG. 2, compared with the prior art, the page is no longer responsible for the communication task with the long connection server, but the flash is responsible for communication, and the long connection channel between the flash and the long connection server is a natural connection. The channel itself can initiate maintenance, which is much simpler than traditional manual maintenance.

Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a communication client between a page and a long connection server, which is used to support a communication method between a page provided by any one of the above embodiments or a combination thereof and a long connection server.
