The port multiplexing method comprises the following steps: receiving first initial data sent by a first client through a pre-bound port; determining a first protocol type of an application layer according to protocol information contained in the first initial data; calling a corresponding first service program to communicate with the first client according to the first protocol type; receiving second initial data sent by a second client through the pre-bound port; determining a second protocol type of the application layer according to protocol information contained in the second initial data; and calling a corresponding second service program to communicate with the second client according to the second protocol type. The port multiplexing method can effectively reduce the consumption of server resources and improve the running speed of the server.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cloud server technology, and specifically to a port multiplexing method, processing device, and storage medium based on a cloud gaming server. Background Technology

[0002] Cloud gaming is a gaming method that places the computation in the cloud. Simply put, it involves moving the game's computation, rendering, and storage operations, which would normally be performed on the client, to a cloud gaming server, and then transmitting the completed game audio and video back to the client in real time over the network.

[0003] Cloud gaming servers provide network services by relying on TCP / UDP (TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol; UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol) ports. Typically, one port corresponds to one application-layer service program, used to receive client connection requests or send / receive data. If multiple services are provided, multiple ports will be used. For example, HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer), SSH (Secure Shell), RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol), RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol), WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communications), and VNC (Virtual Network Console) require at least one corresponding service port for each service.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that providing a corresponding port for each service program would consume a significant amount of server resources and slow down the operation of cloud gaming servers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this invention proposes a port multiplexing method, processing device, and storage medium based on a cloud gaming server, which reduces the consumption of server resources and improves server operating speed.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention proposes a port multiplexing method based on a cloud gaming server, the method comprising:

[0007] Receive the first initial data sent by the first client through the pre-bound port;

[0008] The first protocol type of the application layer is determined based on the protocol information contained in the first initial data;

[0009] Based on the first protocol type, the corresponding first service program is invoked to communicate with the first client.

[0010] Preferably, the pre-bound port is a UDP port;

[0011] The step of receiving the first initial data sent by the first client through the pre-bound port includes:

[0012] The first initial data sent by the first client is received through the UDP port.

[0013] Preferably, the first protocol type includes: HTTP, WebRTC, or WebSocket (a protocol for full-duplex communication over a single TCP connection).

[0014] Preferably, the pre-bound port is a TCP port;

[0015] The first initial data includes: connection requests and service requests;

[0016] The step of receiving the first initial data sent by the first client through the pre-bound port includes:

[0017] Listening on the aforementioned TCP port;

[0018] Receive the connection request sent by the first client through the TCP port;

[0019] Establish a TCP connection based on the connection request;

[0020] Receive the service request sent by the first client.

[0021] Preferably, determining the first protocol type of the application layer based on the protocol information contained in the first initial data includes:

[0022] The first protocol type is determined based on the protocol information contained in the service request.

[0023] Preferably, the first protocol type includes: HTTP or STCP (Scalable TCP, a type of TCP congestion control protocol).

[0024] Preferably, if the first four bytes of the retrieved first initial data are 0x43, 0x47, 0x50 and 0x4B, then the first protocol type is STCP;

[0025] If the first initial data contains an HTTP request method field, then the first protocol type is HTTP;

[0026] The HTTP request methods include: GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, TRACE, or CONNECT.

[0027] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0028] Receive the second initial data sent by the second client through the pre-bound port;

[0029] The second protocol type of the application layer is determined based on the protocol information contained in the second initial data;

[0030] According to the second protocol type, the corresponding second service program is invoked to communicate with the second client;

[0031] The first client may be the same as or different from the second client;

[0032] The first protocol type may be the same as or different from the second protocol type.

[0033] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a processing apparatus including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program that can be loaded by the processor and executed as described above.

[0034] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that can be loaded by a processor and executed as described above.

[0035] This invention proposes a port reuse method based on a cloud gaming server. The server pre-binds a port and receives initial data from a first client through this port. Based on the protocol information contained in the initial data, the application layer's first protocol type is determined, and the corresponding first service program is invoked to communicate with the first client. If second initial data is received from a second client, the same method is used: the second protocol type is determined based on the protocol information contained in the second initial data, and the corresponding second service program is invoked to communicate with the second client. This method allows communication between multiple service programs to be completed using a single port, achieving port reuse, reducing server resource consumption, and improving server operating speed.

[0051] Step B30: Based on the first protocol type, invoke the corresponding first service program to communicate with the first client.

[0052] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the main steps of Embodiment 3 of the port multiplexing method based on a cloud gaming server of the present invention. In this embodiment, the pre-bound port is a TCP port, and the first initial data includes: connection request and service request. Figure 3 As shown, the port multiplexing method in this embodiment includes steps C10-C60:

[0053] Step C10: Listen on the pre-bound TCP port.

[0054] Step C20: Receive the connection request sent by the first client through the TCP port.

[0057] Step C50: Determine the first protocol type based on the protocol information contained in the service request.

[0058] The first protocol type includes HTTP or STCP, etc.

[0059] For example, if the first four bytes of the first initial data are found to be 0x43, 0x47, 0x50, and 0x4B, then the first protocol type is determined to be STCP.

[0060] For example, if the first initial data contains an HTTP request method field, then the first protocol type is determined to be HTTP.

[0061] The HTTP request methods include: GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, TRACE, or CONNECT.

[0070] The first client and the second client can be the same or different. When the pre-bound port is a UDP port, the first protocol type and the second protocol type are different; when the pre-bound port is a TCP port, the first protocol type and the second protocol type can be the same or different.

[0071] For example, a UDP port 9000 can be used for both WebRTC RTSP (RTSP stands for Real Time Streaming Protocol) push streaming and for receiving HTTP requests.
