The division of the following embodiments is for the convenience of description, and should not constitute any limitation to the specific implementation of the present application, and the embodiments can be combined and referred to each other on the premise of no contradiction.

An embodiment of the present application relates to a method for setting a media channel, which is applied to the structure shown in FIG. 2 , including: a session management module 201 , a plurality of link communication modules 202 and a media channel resource pool 203 .

The session management module 201 is used to manage the media channel resource pool 203. When the instant message server detects the media channel application initiated by the group chat request of the current user, according to the number of group chat sessions carried by each current media channel, it is The instant message server allocates a media channel, and the allocated media channel is used to carry the group chat sessions initiated by the current user; wherein, the number of group chat sessions currently carried by the allocated media channel is less than the preset carrying threshold; the allocated media channel is notified to the instant message server and update the number of group chat sessions currently hosted on the assigned media channel.

The link communication module 202 is configured to create or close at least one media channel between the instant message server and the group chat server, and the media channel is used to carry multiple group chat sessions.

Among them, the link communication module 202 does not participate in complex processing logic, is easy to expand, and can be deployed in multiples.

The media channel resource pool 203 is used to store the media channel created by the link communication module 202 .

The session management module 201 and the link communication module 202 in this embodiment are logical network elements, which can be deployed together with the instant message server, as shown in FIG. 3 , or can be deployed independently, as shown in FIG. 4 .

The specific implementation flowchart of the setting method of the media channel of the present embodiment is shown in Figure 5, including:

Step 501, create at least one media channel between an instant message server and a group chat server.

In step 502, when it is detected that the instant message server initiates a media channel application based on the current user's group chat request, allocate a media channel to the instant message server according to the number of group chat sessions carried by the current media channels.

Step 503: Notify the instant messaging server of the allocated media channel, and update the number of group chat sessions currently carried on the allocated media channel.

In this embodiment, by creating at least one media channel between the instant message server and the group chat server, one media channel can carry multiple group chat sessions. In the case of application, according to the number of group chat sessions carried by the current media channels, allocate a media channel for the instant messaging server to carry the group chat sessions initiated by the current user, and the group chat sessions currently carried by the allocated media channel If the number is less than the preset threshold, then the allocated media channel is notified to the instant messaging server, and the number of group chat sessions on the allocated media channel is updated, so that the utilization rate of a single media channel is improved and the usage of the overall media channel is reduced. The consumption of link resources is reduced, and the number of group chat sessions carried on the media channel is updated in real time, which facilitates the allocation of media channels according to the load of the media channel, and realizes the load balance of network equipment.

The implementation details of the media channel setting method of this embodiment are described in detail below, and the following content is only implementation details provided for easy understanding, and is not necessary for implementing this solution.

In step 501, N media channels between the instant messaging server and the group chat server are created according to the preset minimum reserved number N of media channels, wherein N is a natural number greater than 1, and the media channels are used to carry multiple group chats session.

The session management module will pre-set the minimum reserved number N of media channels, and then create N media channels through multiple link communication modules according to the preset minimum reserved number N of media channels, and each link communication module creates at least one For media channels, the total number of media channels created by each link communication module is said N. By setting the minimum reserved number N of media channels in advance, and then creating N media channels, the operation of temporarily creating media channels during group chat message transmission can be reduced, and the impact brought by the busy business period can be smoothed. Among them, the minimum reserved number of media channels is N Set according to user scale and actual usage.

In an example, step 501 may be implemented through an interaction diagram as shown in FIG. 6, specifically including:

S601, the session management module starts and loads the configuration.

Among them, the loaded configuration includes: the minimum reserved number N of media channels, the maximum number of media channels, the number of group chat sessions that can be carried by a single media channel, the low availability threshold of the media channel resource pool, and the new channel added in a single expansion of the media channel resource pool number, media channel resource pool scan cycle, group chat server address and service port, etc.

S602. The session management module initiates a media channel pre-creation request to the link communication module.

Wherein, the media channel creation request carries the minimum reserved number N of media channels, the address of the group chat server and the service port for the link communication module to create the media channel.

S603. The link communication module initiates a TCP connection to the group chat server to create a media channel.

S604. The link communication module returns a response message indicating that the media channel is created successfully to the session management module.

Wherein, the response message carries information about the established media channel, for example, the link communication module to which the media channel belongs, its internal number, and usage.

S605. The session management module updates the media channel resource pool.

After receiving the response message that the media channel is created successfully, the session management module updates the media channel resource pool by recording the information of the media channel in the response message.

In step 502, in the case of detecting that the instant messaging server has initiated a media channel application based on the current user's group chat request, the session management module selects the minimum number of group chat sessions currently carried by the created N media channels media channel, and assign the selected media channel to the instant messaging server. Wherein, the allocated media channel is used to carry the group chat session initiated by the current user, and the number of group chat sessions currently carried by the allocated media channel is less than a preset carrying threshold.

The session management module will select a target link communication module that meets the first preset condition among multiple link communication modules, and select the one that currently carries the smallest number of group chat sessions among all media channels created by the target link communication module media channel, and then assign the selected media channel to the instant messaging server. Wherein, the first preset condition includes: the total number of group chat sessions currently carried by all media channels created by the link communication module is the smallest. By selecting the media channel with the minimum number of group chat sessions currently carried by the target link communication module with the minimum total number of group chat sessions currently carried, the total number of the media channel with the minimum number of group chat sessions carried and the total number of group chat sessions carried The smallest link communication module is fully utilized to avoid the situation that some devices have many media channels, send and receive large amounts of data, and have high loads, while some devices have low loads and transmit less data, that is, unbalanced network device loads.

In step 503, the session management module notifies the instant message server of the allocated media channel to transmit group chat messages, and updates the number of group chat sessions currently carried on the allocated media channel. For example, one is added to the number of group chat sessions currently carried on the allocated media channel in the media channel resource pool.

In an example, step 503 and step 503 can be implemented through an interaction diagram as shown in FIG. 7 , specifically including:

S701. A user creates a group chat session, that is, a session is established between the user and an instant messaging server.

S702. The instant message server applies for a media channel from the session management module, and the instant message server applies for establishing a session with the group chat server.

S703, the session management module allocates a media channel.

The session management module allocates a media channel to the instant messaging server according to the number of group chat sessions currently carried by each media channel.

S704, the session management module returns a response message of the media channel to the instant message server, that is, notifies the instant message server of the allocated media channel.

S705. The instant message server requests the group chat server to establish a session. Wherein, the request message carries the information of the allocated media channel.

S706, the group chat server agrees to establish a session, that is, the media channel is successfully bound and can be used to transmit group chat messages.

In another embodiment, after a media channel is allocated to the instant message server, when it is detected that the instant message server initiates a media channel release request based on the current user's withdrawal from the group chat, it is detected that the user has withdrawn from the group chat, Or the group chat session ended due to being removed by the group administrator, then obtain the media channel requested to be released by the instant message server, then reserve the media channel requested to be released, and update the number of group chat sessions currently carried on the media channel requested to be released. For example, the number of group chat sessions currently carried on the allocated media channel in the media channel resource pool is reduced by one. By releasing the media channel at the end of the group chat session, invalid occupation of the media channel is avoided.

In another embodiment, the specific implementation flow chart of the setting method of the media channel in the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 8, including:

Step 801, create at least one media channel between the instant message server and the group chat server.

Wherein, step 801 is substantially the same as step 501 and will not be repeated here.

Step 802, according to the number of created media channels and the preset maximum number of group chat sessions carried by a single media channel, obtain the available amount of the media channel resource pool.

In the case of no allocation, the available amount of the media channel resource pool = the number of created media channels * the maximum number of group chat sessions carried by a single media channel.

In step 803, when it is detected that the instant message server initiates a media channel application based on the current user's group chat request, allocate a media channel to the instant message server according to the number of group chat sessions carried by the current media channels.

Wherein, step 803 is substantially the same as step 502, and will not be repeated here.

Step 804, update the available amount of the media channel resource pool.

After notifying the instant message server of the allocated media channel and updating the number of group chat sessions currently carried on the allocated media channel, the maximum number of group chat sessions carried on the currently allocated media channel will be reduced by one, then according to the allocated The maximum number of group chat sessions carried by a single media channel and the number of created media channels, and the available amount of the media channel resource pool is updated.

Step 805, regularly check whether the current available amount of the media channel resource pool is less than a preset available threshold, that is, the low available threshold of the media channel resource pool. If yes, go to step 806.

In one example, it is periodically detected whether the available amount of the current media channel resource pool is less than the preset available threshold, and if the available amount of the media channel resource pool is smaller than the preset available threshold, go to step 806 .

In another example, after the session management module notifies the instant message server of the allocated media channel to transmit group chat messages, that is, after each media channel is allocated for a group chat session, the available amount of the current media channel resource pool is checked. If it is detected that the available amount of the media channel resource pool is less than the preset available threshold, go to step 806 .

Step 806, when the available amount of the current media channel resource pool is less than the available threshold, create L media channels again, where L is the preset number of channels for single expansion, which is determined according to the actual usage status. Expansion of the media channel resource pool is realized by periodically detecting whether the current available amount of the media channel resource pool is less than a preset available threshold.

In one example, the session management module also regularly detects whether the number T of the current media channel is greater than the preset maximum number of media channels; when T is greater than the maximum number of media channels, release the media that satisfies the second preset condition channel; wherein, the second preset condition includes: the number of group chat sessions currently carried is zero. Release the number of currently hosted group chat sessions to zero to avoid system consumption.

When the number of media channels that meet the second preset condition is greater than P, that is, when the number of media channels that currently carry zero group chat sessions is greater than P, release P media channels that meet the second preset condition, where , P is the difference between T and the preset minimum reserved number N of media channels. By adding a release condition that the number of currently carried group chat sessions is zero, it is possible to avoid unnecessary consumption of the system while ensuring that the number of media channels is sufficient during the busy business period.

In this embodiment, the intelligent adjustment of the number of media channels in the system is performed by periodically detecting the usage of the media channels in the system.

The above-mentioned examples in this embodiment are illustrations for easy understanding, and do not limit the technical solution of this application.
