[0036] Figure 1 The flowchart of the control method for message sending provided for the embodiments of this disclosure. The control method for message sending provided in this embodiment can be executed by a control device for message sending. The control device for message sending can be implemented as software, or implemented as a combination of software and hardware. The control device for message sending can be integrally arranged in a certain device in the message sending control system, such as a control server for message sending or a control terminal device for message sending. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0037] Step S101, obtain the message to be sent;

[0038] Optionally, the message to be sent is a message generated by the message sending device or a message to be forwarded received by the server from the terminal device. Exemplarily, in a live broadcast scenario, multiple terminal devices located in the same live broadcast room will send messages to the server providing the live broadcast service. Then, the multiple terminals regularly pull all the messages of the previous time period from the server. After the server receives the pull instruction, it sends the messages cached in the previous time period to the terminal corresponding to the pull instruction.

[0039] Exemplarily, the message to be sent is cached in the server, and the terminal device sends a message pull request once per unit time. After receiving the pull request, the server retrieves one by one the messages cached in the previous unit time from the cache. Each of the cached messages is the message to be sent in this step. Optionally, the message to be sent is cached in a queue, and when the server obtains the message to be sent, it retrieves one message to be sent from the top of the queue each time.

[0040] Exemplarily, in the live broadcast scenario, the messages to be sent are chat messages, gift messages, etc. obtained from all terminals that have joined the live broadcast room.

[0041] Step S102, determine the priority of the message to be sent;

[0042] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, all messages have corresponding priorities, and the priority is an identifier set in advance to represent the importance degree of the message.

[0043] Optionally, step S102 includes:

[0044] Step S201, determine the type of the message to be sent;

[0045] Step S202, determine the priority of the message to be sent according to the type.

[0046] Optionally, in a message system, messages are divided into multiple types. Exemplarily, messages are divided into type A messages and type B messages, and the priority of each type of message is set in advance. For example, the priority of type A messages is the first priority, and the priority of type B messages is the second priority; further, each type of message can be further divided into subtypes. For example, type B messages can be divided into type B1 messages and type B2 messages. In the subtypes, there can be further sub-priorities. In the case of the second priority, the sub-priority of type B1 messages is higher than that of type B2 messages. Taking the above live broadcast scenario as an example, the messages in the live broadcast can generally be divided into chat messages and gift messages. The priority of chat messages is 1, and the priority of gift messages is 2; and since gifts have different types, they can be divided into gift 1 and gift 2. Among them, the priority of gift 1 is 2.1, and the priority of gift 2 is 2.2. In this way, in step S202, the priority of the message can be determined through the type of the message.

[0047] Optionally, before the above step S101 or step S102, it further includes: setting priorities for each type of message. Optionally, priority setting instructions can be received through a human-machine interface to set priorities for each type of message; alternatively, the priorities of each type of message can also be automatically set according to the number of historical messages, such as counting the number of messages of each type in a historical time period and automatically setting the priorities according to the number. Exemplarily, the more the number of messages, the lower the corresponding priority, and the fewer the number of messages, the higher the corresponding priority. For example, in the above live broadcast scenario, the priority of chat messages can be set lower than that of gift messages, and then among the gift messages, the priority of gift 1 is lower than that of gift 2, and so on.

[0048] Optionally, before the above step S101 or step S102, it further includes:

[0049] Setting quantity thresholds for messages with different priorities. Optionally, the quantity threshold for high-priority messages is not less than that for low-priority messages. That is, more high-priority messages can be sent than low-priority messages.

[0050] Step S103, determining a first quantity;

[0051] Wherein, the first quantity is the quantity of messages of the said priority that have been sent before the message to be sent. In this step, after determining the priority of the message to be sent, the first quantity of messages of the said priority that have been sent is obtained. Exemplarily, if the priority of the message to be sent is the first priority, then the quantity of messages of the first priority that have been sent before the message to be sent is obtained.

[0052] Optionally, counters are set for messages with different priorities to record the quantity of messages of different priorities that have been sent. For example, for the counter of the first priority, whenever a message of the first priority is sent out, the counter of the first priority is incremented by 1. When the first quantity needs to be obtained, the value of the counter is read.

[0053] Optionally, the said step S103 includes:

[0054] Step S301, obtaining the timestamp of the message to be sent;

[0055] Step S302, determining the first quantity of messages of the said priority that have been sent within a unit time according to the timestamp.

[0056] In this alternative embodiment, each message to be sent carries a timestamp T. Exemplarily, the timestamp is represented in seconds, that is, it is obtained through step S301 which message to be sent in which second. It can be understood that since there are many messages within one second, the second-level timestamps of many messages are the same. At this time, messages of the same type can be distinguished according to the message ID or serial number or lower-level timestamp, which will not be elaborated here.

[0057] Optionally, in step S302, the timestamp corresponds to the unit time. For example, the unit time is the period for the terminal to pull messages from the server, such as once every second, and the accuracy of the timestamp is also 1 second. Then the timestamp and the unit time can be directly corresponded. For example, if T = 1, then directly calculate the number of messages of the said priority that have been sent with the timestamp T = 1, which is the first quantity.

[0058] Optionally, as described above, a counter is used to record the first data corresponding to messages of different priorities. At this time, after step S101, it further includes:

[0059] Step S401, obtain the first timestamp of the message to be sent;

[0060] Step S402, if the first timestamp is different from the second timestamp of the previous message to be sent, then start the counter corresponding to the first timestamp, where the counter is used to record the number of messages that have been sent with the timestamp being the first timestamp.

[0061] In this alternative embodiment, the timestamp of the message corresponds to the unit time, that is, when the timestamp changes, it indicates that the message pulling in the next time period is entered. Therefore, in step S401, the first timestamp of the message to be sent is obtained. In step S402, it is compared whether the first timestamp is the same as the second timestamp of the previous message to be sent. If they are different, the two messages are in different pulling time periods. At this time, a counter is started for the first timestamp to record the number of messages that have been sent with the timestamp being the first timestamp.

[0062] Optionally, since the server corresponds to multiple terminals and the processing capabilities of each terminal are different, the first quantity of messages that have been sent under each priority level is independently recorded for different terminals. For example, for each terminal in the live broadcast room, the number of messages that have been sent for each priority is independently calculated.

[0063] Step S104, in the case where the first quantity is greater than or equal to the quantity threshold corresponding to the priority, then discard the message to be sent;

[0064] Among them, the quantity threshold of messages with different priorities is related to the priority of the message. Exemplarily, the quantity threshold of high-priority messages is not less than that of low-priority messages. That is, the greater the priority of the message, the more the quantity that can be sent.

[0065] In this step, it is judged whether the first quantity is greater than or equal to a preset quantity threshold. If it is greater than or equal to, the message to be sent is discarded because at this time the messages that have been sent have exceeded the processing capacity of the corresponding terminal, and even if the data to be sent is sent to the terminal, the terminal cannot process it.

[0066] With the above technical solution, setting quantity thresholds independently for messages with different priorities can effectively control problems such as the terminal being unable to process due to excessive messages or the client for processing messages on the terminal crashing. And because quantity thresholds are set independently for different priorities, it can ensure that important messages are processed first, which can not only control the message traffic but also ensure that important messages are not lost.

[0067] Further, after the step S104, it further includes:

[0068] In the case where the first quantity is less than the quantity threshold corresponding to the priority, send the message to be sent;

[0069] Accumulate the first quantity.

[0070] That is, if it does not exceed the preset quantity threshold, send the message and accumulate the quantity of the messages that have been sent corresponding to the priority of the message.

[0071] On the basis of the above technical solution, optionally, the step S302 includes:

[0072] In response to the first sub-priority of the first priority of the message to be sent, determine the first quantity of the messages of the first priority that have been sent within a unit time according to the time stamp; wherein the first quantity is recorded within the unit time determined by the next time stamp.

[0073] Among them, the first sub-priority is the high-level sub-priority under the first priority. In this alternative embodiment, the number of messages with the first sub-priority that have been sent is recorded in the counter used in the next time period. Exemplarily, in a live broadcast scenario, gift messages include Gift 1 and Gift 2, where Gift 2 has a higher sub-priority; and since Gift 1 and Gift 2 share the counter for gift messages, it is possible that the number of Gift 1 is excessive, consuming the quantity threshold of the first priority, while the more important Gift 2 cannot be sent. Therefore, in this alternative embodiment, the counter used in the unit time determined by the next timestamp is used to count the messages with the first sub-priority. If the timestamp of the message to be sent is T, the counter of the first priority with the timestamp T+1 is used to count the first sub-priority messages that have been sent.

[0074] Optionally, step S302 includes:

[0075] In response to the second sub-priority of the first priority of the message to be sent, determine the first quantity of the first-priority messages that have been sent within the unit time where the timestamp is located; where the quantity of the first-priority messages that have been sent includes the quantity of the first sub-priority messages of the first priority sent within the previous unit time.

[0076] In this alternative embodiment, if the priority of the message to be sent is the second sub-priority of the first priority, read the first quantity of the first-priority messages from the counter corresponding to the unit time where the timestamp is located. It should be noted that except for the counter corresponding to the first timestamp, the counters of the first-priority messages corresponding to other timestamps all include the quantity of the first sub-priority messages of the first priority sent within the previous unit time. That is, the quantity of the second sub-priority messages sent in the previous time period is included in the quantity of the first-priority messages that have been sent in the current time period.

[0077] Figure 5 This is an example of the above message counting method. Such as Figure 5As shown, the system includes two types of messages, Message A and Message B. Message B can be further divided into Message B1 and Message B2. The priority of Message A is lower than that of Message B, and the priority of Message B1 is lower than that of Message B2. At time T1, all the sent Message A are counted by counter countA_T1, all the sent Message B1 are counted by countB_T1, and all the sent Message B2 are counted by countB_T2, and so on. In this way, since Message B2 is counted using the counter of the next time period, it can be ensured that Message B2 is sent out, so that the message with a higher priority can be guaranteed to be sent out.

[0078] Optionally, the above message sending control method further includes:

[0079] In the case where the first quantity is less than the quantity threshold corresponding to the priority, determine whether the quantity of all the sent messages is greater than or equal to the total threshold;

[0080] If the quantity of all the sent messages is greater than or equal to the total threshold, discard the message to be sent;

[0081] If the quantity of all the sent messages is less than the total threshold, send the message to be sent and increment the first quantity.

[0082] In the above optional embodiment, a total threshold also needs to be set. The total threshold can be the maximum processing capacity of the terminal device for messages. In this optional embodiment, the total threshold is less than the sum of the quantity thresholds of messages with each priority. At this time, when the quantity of the sent messages with the priority is less than the quantity threshold, it cannot be guaranteed that the terminal device can process the message to be sent. It is necessary to further confirm whether the quantity of all the sent messages is greater than or equal to the total threshold. If all the sent messages are greater than or equal to the total threshold, discard the message to be sent. Otherwise, send the message to be sent and increment the first quantity of the sent messages with the priority. Exemplarily, the messages include Message A, Message B, and Message C. The quantity threshold of Message A is 20, the quantity threshold of Message B is 30, the quantity threshold of Message C is 50, and the total threshold is 80. Then, if the quantity of the sent Message A is 10, the quantity of the sent Message B is 20, and the quantity of the sent Message C is 50, since the total quantity of the sent messages has reached 80, even if the sent quantities of Message A and Message B have not reached the quantity threshold, they will be discarded.

[0083] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 6As shown, in this application scenario, there are multiple terminal devices 601 - 603 and a server 604, where the multiple terminal devices and the server perform data interaction through a wired or wireless connection. As Figure 6 As shown, it is a process of sending messages in a live broadcast scenario. During a certain period, terminal devices 601 - 603 send messages to other terminals in the live broadcast room, and these messages are cached on the server 604. After that, when the server receives a pull instruction from a terminal device, it sends the cached messages to the corresponding terminal device. Since the processing capabilities of each terminal device may be different, the upper limit of the number of messages that each terminal device or each type of terminal device can process per unit time (such as 1 second) can be configured on the server, such as 100 messages per second, that is, the total threshold mentioned above. Using the technical solution in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a quantity threshold per unit time can also be set for each different type of message, such as 50 chat messages and 50 gift messages. In this way, when the number of chat messages sent within 1 second exceeds 50 or the number of gift messages exceeds 50, the corresponding type of message is discarded; further, gift messages can be divided into gift A messages and gift B messages. Among them, since gift B has a higher value, its priority is higher. As mentioned above, in order to ensure that gift B messages can be sent, the count of gift B is recorded by the counter of the next time period, so that gift B can be guaranteed to be sent. Assume that 50 chat messages, gift A, and gift B are all generated during period T. Since gift B uses the counter of period T + 1, the gift can be guaranteed to be sent. And by the time of period T + 1, since the counter of the gift message has been full of 50, all gift A in period T + 1 is discarded, while gift B can use the counter of period T + 1 to ensure being sent. Under normal circumstances, since the value of gift B is relatively high, the messages of gift B will not always be generated at the above speed. Therefore, it can be ensured that in general, the total number of messages after period T + 1 is not greater than 100 to maintain the balance between the sending speed of the server and the processing speed of the terminal device.

[0084] The embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method, device, electronic device, and computer - readable storage medium for controlling message sending. The method for controlling message sending includes: obtaining a message to be sent; determining the priority of the message to be sent; determining a first quantity, where the first quantity is the number of messages with the same priority that have been sent before the message to be sent; and discarding the message to be sent when the first quantity is greater than or equal to the quantity threshold corresponding to the priority. The above - mentioned method determines whether to send the message through the quantity threshold corresponding to the priority of the message, and solves the technical problem of message backlog caused by slow terminal processing speed.

[0085] In the foregoing, although the steps in the above method embodiments are described in the above order, those skilled in the art should understand that the steps in the embodiments of the present disclosure do not necessarily need to be executed in the above order, and they can also be executed in other orders such as reverse order, parallel order, cross order, etc. Moreover, based on the above steps, those skilled in the art can also add other steps, and these obvious variations or equivalent replacement methods should also be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure and will not be elaborated herein.
