detailed description

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

The live broadcast platform in the embodiment of the present application includes a distributed management system and a user terminal. The distributed management system includes a management server and an access server, and may also include a service server. The user terminal accesses the live broadcast platform through the access server. When the live broadcast platform sends a service message to the user terminal, the push system (or the service server, etc.) generates a corresponding service message, and then the service server sends the service message to the access server, and the service server sends the service message to the user terminal. The following is an example of sending a service message from the management server.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a flow chart of a method for processing a message processing method of a live broadcast platform according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:

Step 102: When the management server determines that the service message is a local message, the management server performs addressing according to the service message, and determines the access server.

In the embodiment of the present application, the management server sends a service message to the user group of the access server in the form of multicast; wherein the user group is a collection of users having the same feature, for example, a live room or a chat room user may The service message is a message corresponding to each type of service in the live broadcast platform, such as an activity message. In order to solve the problem that the user server has a large number of users in the user group, the management server receives a large bandwidth occupied by the user IP address; and can perform two layers of addressing operations according to the service message, including one layer addressing and two layers addressing; The server performs a layer of addressing operations. Specifically, when the management server determines that the service message is a local message, the operation of the first layer addressing may be performed, where the local message is a message sent to the user group; the management server may send the message to the management server according to the information in the service message. All the connected access servers are addressed, and the user of the user group is determined to correspond to the access server where the user terminal is located. Therefore, the management server can obtain the IP address of the access server where the user group is located. The number of access servers in the live broadcast platform is far less than the number of user terminals corresponding to each user in the user group; therefore, the management server obtains access. The bandwidth occupied by the IP address of the server is much smaller than the bandwidth occupied by the IP address of the user terminal in the user group. This reduces the impact of the management server on other services and reduces the burden on the management server.

Step 104: The management server separately sends the service message to each access server.

After the management server determines the access server, the service message can be sent to each access server, and then the service message is sent by each access server to the user terminal corresponding to the user in the user group.

Step 106: The access server performs addressing according to the service message, and determines a user terminal corresponding to the user in the user group.

After receiving the service message, each access server in the embodiment of the present application may perform a layer 2 addressing operation, and the layer 2 addressing may determine a user terminal corresponding to each user in the user group. Specifically, each access server searches for a corresponding user terminal from the address information of the pre-stored user terminal according to the information in the service message, so as to determine the user terminal corresponding to the user in the user group. The user terminal of the address information stored in advance is a user terminal connected to the access server.

Step 108: The access server separately sends the service message to each user terminal.

After the access server determines the user terminal corresponding to each user in the user group, the service message is sent to the determined user terminals, thereby completing the multicast of the service message.

For example, the management server needs to send a service message to a user group in a live broadcast room. The management server manages 10 access servers, and each access server accesses 300,000 user terminals, wherein the first, fourth, and fifth, In the access servers 6, 8, and 10, 100,000 user terminals in each access server are user terminals corresponding to users in the user group; the process of multicasting service messages by the management server is: the management server first according to the service message Determining that the access servers No. 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 are servers accessed by user terminals corresponding to users in the user group; sending service messages to the first, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth, and tenth Accessing the server; then each access server determines, according to the service message, that 100,000 user terminals are user terminals corresponding to users in the user group; then each access server sends a service message to 100,000 In the user terminals, the multicast service of the management server to the service message is completed.

The message processing method of the live broadcast platform of the present application, when the management server determines that the service message is a local message, performs addressing according to the service message, determines the access server, that is, performs one layer of addressing; and sends the information to each access server separately. The service message is addressed by the access server according to the service message, and the user terminal corresponding to the user in the user group is determined, that is, the layer 2 addressing is performed; the access server separately sends the user terminal to each user terminal. The service message; thus, the service message is sent to the user terminal through one layer addressing and the second layer addressing, which improves the processing efficiency of the server and reduces the burden on the server.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the process of the service server sending a service message is described in detail in the embodiment of the present application.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the steps of an embodiment of a message processing method of a live broadcast platform according to another embodiment of the present application, which may specifically include the following steps:

Step 202: The management server acquires a service message, and determines the service message according to the service object.

In this embodiment, the user may select any live broadcast station of the live broadcast platform to perform live broadcast and participation interaction; after receiving the connection request of the user terminal corresponding to the user, the access server may, according to the received connection request, and the corresponding user terminal. Establish a long connection. After the long connection between the access server and the user terminal is established, the two can communicate. When the live broadcast platform pushes a message to the user terminal, the push system generates a corresponding service message, and then sends the service message to the management server; the management server obtains the service message, and then determines the service object of the service message according to the target address of the service message, thereby The business object judges the business message. When the service object is a single user, the service message belongs to the unicast service; when the service object is all users, the service message is a broadcast service; when the service object is a user group, the service message belongs to the multicast service. . The service message belonging to the multicast service is determined as a local message, and then step 204 is executed to determine the service message belonging to the unicast service or the multicast service as a global message, and then the step of ending is performed. The unicast service is a service performed by a single user; the broadcast service is a service performed by all users, and the multicast service is a service performed by a user group.

Step 204: When the management server determines that the service message is a local message, the management server obtains the multicast group identifier from the service message.

When the management server determines that the service message is a local message, the service message can be delivered to the user terminal corresponding to each user in the user group by using multicast. Specifically, when the user terminal accesses the live broadcast room, the access server adds the identifier of the live broadcast room to the user terminal according to the connection request sent by the user terminal. Therefore, the user terminals belonging to the same live broadcast room have the live broadcast room. The identifier is configured to perform the multicast service for watching the live video. When the push system generates the service message corresponding to the multicast service, the identifier of the live broadcast may be determined as the identifier of the multicast group and added in the service message. The management server may obtain the multicast group identifier from the service message, and then perform the addressing according to the multicast group identifier to determine the access server. Specifically, the method includes the following steps: Step 206 - Step 202:

Step 206: The management server sends an addressing request to each access server according to the multicast group identifier.

In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the connection request sent by the user terminal, the access server may store the identifier of each user terminal according to the connection request, where the identifier of the user terminal includes at least the IP address of the user terminal and the live broadcast room accessed by the user. Logo. Therefore, after obtaining the multicast group identifier, the management server may send an addressing request corresponding to the multicast identifier to each access server to find which access servers include the user terminal of the multicast group identifier.

Step 208: The access server queries the multicast group identifier according to the addressing request, and generates an addressing response when the connected user terminal has the multicast group identifier corresponding to the multicast service.

The access server receives the addressing request sent by the management server, and then determines the multicast service corresponding to the multicast primary identity according to the multicast group identifier in the addressing request; and then queries the access server to perform the multicast service. The user terminal; when there is a user terminal performing the multicast service, the addressing response may be generated according to the IP address of the access server; when there is a user terminal performing the multicast service, there is no need to generate an addressing response. The multicast service corresponding to the multicast group identifier may be any one of the services performed by the user group, such as watching a live video, participating in an activity, and the like.

Step 210: The management server receives the returned addressing response, and determines, according to the addressing response, an access server that has a multicast group identifier corresponding to the multicast service.

After the receiving server generates the addressing response, the addressing response is returned to the management server; the management server receives the addressing response, and then determines the corresponding access server according to the addressing response; wherein the addressing response corresponds to the access server An access server having a multicast service corresponding to the multicast group identifier; the user terminal accessed by the access server includes a user terminal corresponding to the user of the user group. At this point, the management server completes a layer of addressing operation. After the management server sends the addressing request, the number of addressing responses received is no more than the number of all access servers; compared to the prior art Multicast addressing mode greatly reduces the bandwidth for receiving addressing responses and reduces the burden on the management server. For example, there are 10 access servers managed by the management server, and the number of user terminals corresponding to the user groups accessed by each access server is 300,000; in the prior art, the management server receives 3 million addressing responses. The occupancy response of the management server in the embodiment of the present application is five, occupying several tens of kB, and is much smaller than 11 MB.

Step 212: The management server separately sends the service message to each access server.

The management server delivers the service message to each access server having a multicast service corresponding to the multicast group identifier.

Step 214: The access server acquires a multicast group identifier from the service message.

Step 216: The access server performs addressing according to the multicast group identifier, and determines a user terminal corresponding to the user in the user group.

The access server receives the service message, and then delivers the service message to the user terminal of the user in the user group. Therefore, the IP address of the user terminal of the user in the user group needs to be searched. Specifically, the access server may obtain the multicast group identifier from the service message, and then perform addressing according to the multicast group identifier, thereby determining the user terminal corresponding to the user in the user group. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the identifier of each user terminal is stored in the access server, and when the multicast group identifier is used, the identifier of the user terminal stored in the access server may be searched for The identifier of the user terminal includes the multicast group identifier, and when present, the user terminal corresponding to the user identifier may be determined as the user terminal corresponding to the user in the user group.

Step 218: The access server separately sends the service message to each user terminal.

The access server delivers the service message to the user terminal corresponding to each user of the user group.

In the embodiment of the present application, the user terminal communicates with the access server through a long connection manner, thereby ensuring that the access server and the user terminal can communicate in real time; after receiving the service message, the management server determines the service type to which the service message belongs; When determining that the service message belongs to the multicast service, determining that the service message is a local message; performing a layer addressing according to the multicast group identifier in the service message, and determining, according to the addressing response returned by the access server, the identifier having the multicast group identifier Corresponding to the access server of the multicast service, and sending the service information to the access server; the access server performs the second layer addressing according to the multicast group identifier, determines the user terminal corresponding to the user in the user group, and then the service The message is delivered to the user terminal of each user in the user group. Since the management server addresses by one layer, the number of addressing responses of the received access server is much smaller than the number of addressing responses received by the management server in the prior art, which greatly improves the processing efficiency of the management server and reduces the burden on the management server. .
