Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of Internet technologies, and in particular, to a communication method, system, and device. Background Art

[0002] The WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) protocol is one of the most mainstream protocols in the field of Internet voice or video, with the best cross-browser support ability and the strongest real-time performance. Based on the JS (JavaScript, an instant-compiled programming language) library corresponding to the WebRTC protocol, communication between various browsers can be achieved. The JS library records the APIs corresponding to different types and versions of browsers.

[0003] Specifically, for each browser, the instant messaging server can communicate with the browser based on the API corresponding to the browser recorded in the JS library, and forward the data sent by the browser to other browsers to achieve communication between browsers.

[0004] In the prior art, the instant messaging server can send a call request (the first call request) for a target function module to a browser (the first browser). The first call request includes the function identifier (the first function identifier) of the target function module in the first browser. The corresponding relationship between the first function identifier recorded in the first API corresponding to the first browser and the target function module is such that the first browser can call the target function module according to the first function identifier and the first API. If the first browser is upgraded to the second browser, and the function identifier of the target function module in the second browser is changed to the second function identifier, then in the corresponding second API of the second browser, the recorded is the corresponding relationship between the second function identifier and the target function module. When the instant messaging server sends a call request (the second call request) for the target function module to the second browser, since the second call request still records the first function identifier, the second browser cannot call the target function module according to the first function identifier and the second API. This results in the inability to perform data communication between the second browser and the instant messaging server, causing the communication service to be interrupted. Summary of the Invention

[0086] Next, in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on this application belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0087] In the prior art, when the browser is upgraded, the function identifiers corresponding to the function modules in the browser may change. Then, when the upgraded browser receives a call request for a function module sent by the instant messaging server, it may not be able to call the corresponding function module according to the function identifier in the call request. As a result, data communication between the browser and the instant messaging server cannot be carried out, causing the communication service to be interrupted.

[0088] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a communication method, which is applied to a target browser. Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a flowchart of a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include the following steps:

[0089] S101: Receive a call request for a target function module sent by the instant messaging server.

[0090] S102: Based on the correspondence between the original function identifiers of each function module recorded in the target API corresponding to the target browser and the mapped function identifiers of each function module in the target browser, determine the mapped function identifier corresponding to the first original function identifier as the target function identifier of the target function module in the target browser.

[0091] S103: Call the target function module according to the target function identifier to obtain a first target resource.

[0092] S104: Send the first target resource to the instant messaging server.

[0093] The call request includes: the first original function identifier of the target function module in a browser that matches the version of the instant messaging server.

[0094] Based on the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the original function identifier, the target function identifier corresponding to it in the target browser can be determined based on the target API. That is, even if the target browser has been upgraded, the function identifier used to call the target function module in the upgraded target browser can be determined. The target browser can then call the target function module based on the target function identifier to obtain a first target resource, thus realizing data communication between the target browser and the instant messaging server and avoiding interruption of the communication service.

[0095] In one implementation, the target browser can be any type and any version of browser. Each functional module based on the WebRTC protocol is built into the target browser, such as an audio functional module and a video functional module. The target functional module can be any one of the above functional modules. To implement audio communication between browsers, the instant messaging server can send a call request for the audio function to the target browser, so that the target browser calls the audio functional module to obtain an audio file and sends it to the instant messaging server, and the instant messaging server sends the audio file to other browsers except the target browser; to implement video communication between browsers, the instant messaging server can send a call request for the video function to the target browser, so that the target browser calls the video functional module to obtain a video file and sends it to the instant messaging server, and the instant messaging server sends the video file to other browsers except the target browser.

[0096] The function identifier corresponding to the target functional module represents the interface number of the interface used to call the target functional module in the target browser.

[0097] Browsers can be classified into different types according to the browser manufacturers. For example, browser A is developed by browser manufacturer A, and browser B is developed by browser manufacturer B; between different types of browsers, the interfaces used to call the same functional module may be different. Since browser manufacturers will update the browser versions, there may be different versions of the same type of browser. For example, browser A is developed by browser manufacturer A, and browser A can have browser A versions 1.0, 1.3, 2.0, etc.; between the same type but different version browsers, the interfaces used to call the same functional module may also be different.

[0098] For a certain type of browser, the first original function identifier carried in the call request sent by the instant messaging server to the browsers of this type for the target functional module can be the interface number corresponding to the target functional module in the browsers of the specified version of this type.

[0099] For example, when deploying an instant messaging server, currently, Browser A version 3.0 is widely used. In Browser A version 3.0, the audio function module based on the WebRTC protocol corresponds to Interface 1, and the video function module corresponds to Interface 2. Then, technicians can set the original function identifier in the call request for the audio function module to Interface 1, and set the original function identifier in the call request for the video function module to Interface 2. When the instant messaging server sends a call request for the audio function module to different versions of Browser A, the original function identifier of this call request is Interface 1; when the instant messaging server sends a call request for the video function module to different versions of Browser A, the original function identifier of this call request is Interface 2.

[0100] In one implementation, the version of the target browser can be a specified version, or it can be other versions. If the version of the target browser is the specified version, then the first original function identifier is the same as its corresponding mapped function identifier. If the version of the target browser is not the specified version, then the first original function identifier may not be the same as its corresponding mapped function identifier.

[0101] Technicians can use the function identifiers corresponding to each function module in the browser as the mapped function identifiers. The API can record the correspondence between the original function identifiers and the mapped function identifiers of each function module. Then, the browser can determine the corresponding mapped function identifier based on the original function identifier of each function module, and call each function module through the corresponding mapped function identifier. Therefore, when the browser upgrades its version, technicians only need to add the correspondence between the original function identifier and the mapped function identifier in the new API corresponding to the upgraded browser. The upgraded browser can then call the function module according to the new API and the call request for the function module sent by the instant messaging server. There is no need to modify the call request for the function module sent by the instant messaging server, thus avoiding modifying and testing the program code in the instant messaging server.

[0102] For example, in the call request of the instant messaging server for the audio function module, the recorded original function identifier is Interface 1, and in the target browser, the audio function module corresponds to Interface 5. Then, the correspondence recorded in the target API between the original function identifier and the mapped function identifier is the correspondence between Interface 1 and Interface 5. When the target browser receives a request to call Interface 1, the target browser can confirm through the target API that the mapped function interface corresponding to Interface 1 is Interface 5, and then call the audio function module through Interface 5.

[0103] In one embodiment, if the target function module is the audio function module, then the first target resource is an audio file; if the target function module is the video function module, then the first target resource is a video file.

[0104] The resource type of the first target resource is determined by the type of the target function module.

[0105] To achieve audio communication between browsers, the instant messaging server can send a call request for the audio function module to the target browser. To achieve video communication between browsers, the instant messaging server can send a call request for the video function module to the target browser.

[0106] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , on the basis of Figure 1 , before step S101, the method may further include:

[0107] S105: Send a connection request to the instant messaging server so that the instant messaging server sends a preset interface library to the target browser.

[0108] S106: Receive the preset interface library.

[0109] S107: Generate a target API corresponding to the target browser according to the preset interface library.

[0110] The preset interface library records the APIs corresponding to multiple browsers of different types and different versions.

[0111] In one implementation, the preset interface library can be a JS library pre-created by technicians. Technicians can modify the JS library, add the APIs of different types and different versions of browsers, expand the applicable scope of the JS library, and thus enable more different types and different versions of browsers to perform data communication through the instant messaging server.

[0112] In one embodiment, the preset interface library records the common API part corresponding to multiple browsers of different types and different versions, and the differential API part corresponding to each browser.

[0113] Referring to Figure 3 , on the basis of Figure 2 , step S107 includes:

[0114] S1071: Obtain the differential API part corresponding to the type of the target browser and the version number of the target browser from the preset interface library as the target differential API part.

[0115] S1072: Combine the common API part and the target differential API part to obtain the target API corresponding to the target browser.

[0116] What is recorded in the preset interface library is the correspondence between the differential API part and the browser type and browser version.

[0117] In one implementation, the common API part is the program code part that implements the same functions for all APIs in the preset interface library. The program code part with the same functions can be used as the parent class of all APIs. The differential API part is the program code part (differential code part) in the preset interface library where each API implements functions different from other APIs. The differential code part of this API can be used as the subclass of this API.

[0118] In one embodiment, the target differential API part records the correspondence between the original function identifiers of each function module and the mapped function identifiers of each function module in the target browser.

[0119] For example, there are APIs corresponding to 10 browsers saved in the preset interface library. Each of the 10 APIs has a differential API part. Then, 10 differential API parts can be saved in the preset interface library, and the common API part of the 10 APIs can be saved.

[0120] In the embodiment of this solution, the APIs in the preset interface library are composed of a common API part and a differential API part. Only the differential API parts of the APIs corresponding to each browser are different. Therefore, when the browser is upgraded, the technician does not need to write the entire program code of the API corresponding to the upgraded browser, but only needs to write the program code of the differential API part corresponding to the upgraded browser and save it in the preset interface library. The upgraded browser can generate the corresponding API through the preset interface library. The workload of writing the program code of the API can be reduced.

[0121] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a schematic diagram of the preset interface library provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

[0122] Devices represents the above-mentioned preset interface library, Handler Interface represents the above-mentioned common API part, Chrome58 and Safari11 represent the above-mentioned differential API parts, where Chrome and Safari represent the types of browsers, and 58 and 11 represent the version numbers of the browsers.

[0123] In one embodiment, a second target resource sent by the instant messaging server is received. The second target resource is a resource sent by other browsers received by the instant messaging server except the target browser.

[0124] If the instant messaging server sends a call request for the audio function module to any other browser, the second target resource is an audio file; if the instant messaging server sends a call request for the video function module to any other browser, the second target resource is a video file.

[0125] Any other browser can perform the same steps as the above target browser to generate the second target resource, and send the second target resource to the instant messaging server, which then sends the second target resource to the target browser.

[0126] In one implementation, the target browser can communicate with any other browser (the third browser) through the instant messaging server to send and receive audio files or video files to each other. For example, user A uses the target browser to have a voice call or a video call with user B who uses the third browser.

[0127] In another implementation, the target browser can only send an audio file or a video file to the instant messaging server, and the third browser only receives the audio file or video file forwarded by the instant messaging server. For example, if user A uses the target browser to start a live broadcast, the target browser only sends an audio file or a video file to the instant messaging server. If user B watches user A's live broadcast through the third browser, the third browser only receives the audio file or video file forwarded by the instant messaging server.

[0128] In another implementation, the target browser can only receive the audio file or video file forwarded by the receiving communication server, and the third browser only sends an audio file or a video file to the instant messaging server. For example, if user B uses the third browser to start a live broadcast, the third browser only sends an audio file or a video file to the instant messaging server. If user A watches user B's live broadcast through the target browser, the target browser only receives the audio file or video file forwarded by the instant messaging server.

[0129] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a communication method applied to an instant messaging server. Refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is a flowchart of a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include the following steps:

[0130] S501: Send a call request for the target function module to the target browser.

[0131] The call request includes: in a browser that matches the version of the instant messaging server, the first original function identifier of the target function module; so that the target browser determines the mapping function identifier corresponding to the first original function identifier, as the target function identifier of the target function module in the target browser, based on the correspondence between the original function identifiers of each function module recorded in the target API corresponding to the target browser and the mapping function identifiers of each function module in the target browser; calls the target function module according to the target function identifier to obtain the first target resource; and sends the first target resource to the instant messaging server.

[0132] S502: Receive the first target resource.

[0133] Based on the communication method provided by the embodiments of the present invention, after receiving the original function identifier, the target function identifier corresponding thereto in the target browser can be determined based on the target API, that is, even if the target browser has been upgraded, the function identifier used to call the target function module in the upgraded target browser can be determined, and the target browser can call the target function module based on the target function identifier to obtain the first target resource, thus realizing data communication between the target browser and the instant messaging server and avoiding interruption of communication services.

[0134] The processing method of the target browser may refer to the introduction of steps S101 - S104 above.

[0135] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , on the basis of Figure 5 , before step S501, the method may further include:

[0136] S503: Receive a connection request sent by the target browser.

[0137] S504: Send a preset interface library to the target browser.

[0138] The preset interface library records the common API parts corresponding to multiple browsers of different types and different versions, as well as the different API parts corresponding to each browser; so that the target browser receives the preset interface library, obtains the different API parts corresponding to the type and version number of the target browser from the preset interface library as the target different API parts; and combines the common API parts and the target different API parts to obtain the target API corresponding to the target browser.

[0139] The processing method of the target browser may refer to the introduction of steps S1071 - S1072 above.

[0140] In one embodiment, the target different API part records the correspondence between the original function identifiers of each function module and the mapping function identifiers of each function module in the target browser.

[0141] In one embodiment, if the target function module is an audio function module, the first target resource is an audio file; if the target function module is a video function module, the first target resource is a video file.

[0142] In one embodiment, the method further includes:
