detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It is a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without departing from the inventive scope are the scope of the present application.

Since the data transmission method in the embodiment of the present application is mainly applied between the client and the server, the following describes the client and the server, and the communication between the client and the server.

In general, a client data processing device can be a device that has network connectivity and data transfer capabilities and provides local functionality to the user. For example, the client data processing device may be a user terminal device, such as a smart phone, a PAD, a notebook, etc., which is not specifically limited in this application.

In practical applications, the client data processing device may also be installed with a corresponding client application, such as an application that needs to be matched with the server in addition to the local application, such as a web browser used by the World Wide Web. , email client when receiving email, and instant messaging client software, etc.

A server may refer to a device that manages resources and provides services to client data processing devices, and may be configured to include a processor, a hard disk, a memory, a system bus, etc., and a general purpose meter. The computer architecture is similar. In a network environment, the server waits for a request from a client data processing device to process the request to feed back the corresponding result. In the network environment, the server may be classified into a file server, a database server, and an application server according to different types of services provided by the server. The server in the embodiment of the present application may refer to any one or more of the foregoing, and the present application does not specifically limit.

In practical applications, the client data processing device can connect to one or more servers through an IP address. For example, a client can connect to multiple servers corresponding to multiple IP addresses, receive data from each server, and then save the data separately.

The client and the server can communicate through the corresponding communication protocol, such as HTTP (Hypertext transfer protocol), TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), UDP (User). Datagram Protocol, User Datagram Protocol, etc., is not specifically limited in this application.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the embodiment of the present application discloses a data transmission method, and the process of the method is described as follows.

S11: The client data processing device performs a first data download task from the N servers, and determines N data transmission rates between the client data processing device and the N servers, where N is a positive integer.

Each of the N servers may be connected to the client data processing device through a corresponding communication protocol.

Specifically, the process for the client data processing device to perform the first data download task in the server may be: the client data processing device sends the first data file for acquiring the preset data file to each of the N servers. a data request, and then, each of the N servers, after receiving the first data request, generates a corresponding first feedback information based on the first data request, and sends the corresponding first feedback information to the client data processing device, and the client data processing After receiving the feed information fed back by each server, the device may perform the first data download task based on the first feedback information, that is, download the preset data file.

The preset data file may be a specified file pre-existing in each of the N servers, such as a video file, a music file, and the like, which is not specifically limited in this application. The preset data file can have a certain amount of data to be used to test the data transfer speed between the server and the client data processing device. Of course, the amount of data of the preset data file can be According to the actual test requirements, this application does not specifically limit this.

Optionally, the first data request sent by the client data processing device may include information, such as a request for downloading the corresponding data. For example, if the client data processing device can send an HTTP request message to the connected server, the request message may include: a request method for the data resource, an identifier of the data resource, a protocol used, and the like in the first line of the message. The first data request may be sent to the corresponding server based on the IP address and the port number of the server. After receiving and parsing the HTTP request message sent by the client data processing device, the server returns the first feedback information, for example, the server may return. An HTTP response message, and then, after receiving the first feedback information, the client data processing device can start downloading the preset data file.

In a practical application, after the client data processing device sends the first data request to each server, the response speed of each server may be inconsistent. Therefore, the client data processing device may not receive the feedback information returned by each server. the same. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the client data processing device receives the feedback information returned by the server, the preset data file in the server can be downloaded, that is, the first data download task is performed, so the first data can be considered as the first The data download task is a preset task performed to test the data transfer rate between the client data processing device and each server.

In the embodiment of the present application, the data transmission rate between the client data processing device and the server, the data transmission rate is numerically equal to the number of binary bits constituting the data code per second, in units of bits/second. Recorded as bps. For binary data, the data transmission rate is: S = 1/T (bps), where T is the time required to transmit each bit. For example, if the time required to transmit a bit 0, 1 signal on the communication channel is 0.001 ms, the data transmission rate of the channel is 1000 Kbps. Generally speaking, when the data transmission rate is lower than 300b/s, the effect of data transmission is poor. When the data transmission rate is higher than 2400b/s, it can have better data transmission effect.

Optionally, in S11, the process of determining the N data transmission rates may be: the client data processing device downloads the preset data file from each of the N servers, and obtains the process of downloading the preset data file. Downloading parameter information, a total of N download parameter information; wherein, the download parameter information includes at least a transmission start time and a transmission end time of each server transmitting a preset data file to the client data processing device; and further, based on N download parameter information And a preset data file to determine each of the client data processing device and each of the N servers Data transfer rate between servers, a total of N data transfer rates.

In an actual application, the client data processing device can record the downloading parameter information in the downloading process, and the downloading parameter information may include the transmission preset, while receiving the first feedback information of the server and downloading the preset data file. The transmission start time and the end time of the transmission of the data file.

For example, if the preset data file is a specified video file, the user sends a request for obtaining the data file of the video file to the server A through the mobile phone to obtain the video file stored in the server A, and receives the first feedback information of the server. After that, the mobile phone finds the corresponding resource of the video file in the server A, and downloads the video file, that is, the video file is transmitted from the server to the mobile terminal, and simultaneously records the download parameter information of the server and the mobile phone during the data transmission process, that is, The transmission start time of the data transmission and the transmission end time of downloading the video file, for example, the recorded transmission start time of downloading the video file may be 13:26:10, and the transmission end time may be 13:26:40.

Further, according to the transmission start time and the transmission end time recorded in the download parameter information, and the data size of the preset data file, the data transmission rate between the client data processing device and the corresponding server can be determined.

Optionally, when calculating the N data transmission rates between the client data processing device and the N servers based on the N parameter information, the transmission start time and the transmission included in each parameter information of the N parameter information may be At the end time, it is determined that the client data processing device downloads the transmission duration corresponding to the preset data file from each of the N servers. For example, if the mobile phone downloads the preset data file from the server A, the transmission start parameter included in the recorded download parameter information is 13:26:10, and the transmission end time is 13:26:30, then the mobile phone can be determined. The transmission time between servers A is 20 seconds.

Further, based on the determined transmission duration and the amount of data of the preset data file, the data transmission rate between the client data processing device and the corresponding server among the N servers can be calculated. For example, if the data volume of the preset data file is 500 MB, based on the transmission duration and the amount of data, the data transmission rate between the mobile phone and the server A can be calculated and determined.

Similarly, in the calculation of the data transmission rate before the mobile phone and other servers, the same method can be used to determine the N data transmission rates with the N servers. This application does not exemplify one by one.

S12: Determine N and server data points based on N data transmission rates The data transmission rate between the devices is at least one server that is greater than or equal to the preset data transmission rate.

In the embodiment of the present application, the client data processing device downloads the preset data file from the N servers, and determines N data transmissions between the client data device and the N servers, and further can be based on N data transmission rates and pre- The transmission rate is determined to determine at least one server of the N servers that has a faster transmission rate with the client data processing device.

The preset transmission rate may be set by the client data processing device, such as a preset transmission rate determined according to the network condition and the data size of the preset data file, or the preset transmission rate may also be the user according to the downloaded The actual requirement is set to select a server that satisfies the data transmission rate between the client and the data processing device from a plurality of servers, so as to improve the downloading efficiency of the download task of the client data processing device.

For example, if the client data processing device is connected to three servers, namely, server 1, server 2, and server 3, the same preset data files are respectively stored in the server 1, the server 2, and the server 3, and are respectively processed by the client. The default data file of each server is downloaded and tested, and the data transmission rates between the client data processing device and the server 1, the server 2, and the server 3 are determined to be v1, v2, and v3, respectively, where v1=245 KB/s, v2= 209 KB/s, v3 = 195 KB/s. If the preset transmission rate is 200 KB/s, it can be determined that the data transmission rate between the server 1 and the server 2 and the client data processing device is high, that is, the determined at least one server is the server 1 and the server 2.

S13: The client data processing device performs a second data download task by using at least one server.

In the embodiment of the present application, after determining at least one server with a faster data transmission rate with the client data processing device, the at least one server may provide services for subsequent download tasks of the client data processing device.

The second data download task may be different from the first data download task, and may be a task for the user to obtain a corresponding download file from the server, for example, downloading an image file, a video file, or other files from the server. This application is not specifically limited.

Specifically, when the client data processing device performs the second data downloading task by using the at least one server, the process may be: the client data processing device sends the second data request to the first server of the at least one server, and receives the first The server is based on the second feedback information of the second data request feedback, and then performs the second in the first server based on the second feedback information. Data download task.

The first server may be a server with the highest data transmission rate of the client and the client, and provides a download service for the client data processing device through the first server, which can shorten the downloading time required during the downloading process, thereby improving the downloading efficiency. .

The second data request may include a data resource identifier or the like requested by the client data processing device, so that the first server provides a link corresponding to the data resource to provide a download service for the client data processing device.

In an actual application, when the server is provided by the at least one server for the client data processing device, if the client data processing device has only one new data download task, the data of the at least one server and the client data processing device may be selected. The server with the highest transfer rate is downloaded to improve download efficiency. Alternatively, if there are multiple new data download tasks in the client, the corresponding server may be selected to be downloaded in at least one server.

For example, if the client data processing device further includes the data download task 1 and the data download task 2, and the determined at least one server includes the server 1, the server 2, and the server 3, the data download task 1 and the data may be respectively performed by the at least one server. Download task 2, for example, data download task 1 is performed by server 1, and data download task 1 is performed by server 2, and data resources downloaded from server 1 and server 2 are separately stored, so that the client data processing device is in multiple servers. During the data transmission process, the server with high data transmission efficiency can be automatically selected to provide services for the client data processing device, which improves the flexibility of the data transmission mode and effectively improves the efficiency of data transmission.
