Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to communication technology, and more particularly to an application traffic redirection method, apparatus, device, and medium for an iOS system. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of mobile games and live streaming, people are increasingly using mobile devices to play games and watch live streams. However, when using applications for video live streaming, games, and flash sales, there are issues such as lag, latency, or frame drops.

[0003] Existing technologies typically improve the smoothness of live streaming and reduce lag and frame drops in games by accelerating applications. This is achieved by obtaining the server IP address of the application to be accelerated, diverting traffic from that specific IP address to the gateway, and then using relevant technologies to accelerate the internet traffic of that specific application.

[0004] However, existing technologies have limitations in effectively driving traffic to applications within the iOS system. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a method, apparatus, device, and medium for driving traffic to iOS systems, in order to solve the problem that the existing technology for driving traffic to iOS applications is not effective.

[0006] Firstly, this application provides a method for driving traffic to iOS applications, applied to a first software development kit (SDK) developed based on the Android system. The method includes:

[0007] Identify the target application and its package name. The target application is the application installed on the Android system and the iOS system. The package name of the target application is the package name of the target application installed on the Android system.

[0008] The package name of the target application is sent to the gateway so that the gateway can establish a first mapping relationship based on the package name of the target application and the identifier of the target session connection. The identifier of the target session connection is the identifier of the session connection established between the first software development kit and the gateway.

[0009] Based on the virtual private network service component configured in the Android system, the target traffic corresponding to the packet name of the target application is imported into the gateway. The gateway then resolves the target traffic within the target session connection according to the first mapping relationship, obtains the target IP address of the target application, and stores the target IP address and the packet name of the target application into the IP address database. This enables the second software development kit (SDK) to redirect traffic to the target application in the iOS system. The second SSD is a software development kit developed based on the iOS system.

[0010] In this application, the package name of the target application is sent to the gateway so that the gateway establishes a first mapping relationship based on the package name of the target application and the identifier of the target session connection, including:

[0011] Send a request to create a session connection to the gateway so that the gateway can establish a target session connection with the first software development kit based on the request and obtain the identifier of the target session connection, wherein the target session connection is a session connection based on the SOCKS protocol;

[0012] After establishing the target session connection, the package name of the target application is sent to the gateway as a control frame, so that the gateway can establish a first mapping relationship based on the package name of the target application and the identifier of the target session connection.

[0013] Secondly, this application provides an application traffic redirection method for iOS systems, applied to a gateway, the method comprising:

[0014] The system receives a control frame sent by the first software development kit (SDK) based on the target session connection. The first SSD is an SSD developed based on the Android system, the target application is an application installed on the Android system and the iOS system, and the package name of the target application is the package name of the target application installed on the Android system.

[0015] Based on the package name of the target application, determine the first mapping relationship between the identifier of the target session connection and the package name of the target application;

[0016] Based on the first mapping relationship, the target traffic is obtained in the target session connection. The target traffic is the traffic that the first software development kit redirects to the target application based on the virtual private network service component configured in the Android system.

[0017] The target traffic is parsed to obtain the target IP address corresponding to the target application;

[0018] The target IP address and the package name of the target application are stored in the IP address database, enabling the second software development kit (SDK) to redirect traffic to the target application in the iOS system. The second SSD is an SSD developed based on the iOS system.

[0019] In this application, receiving a control frame representing the package name of the target application sent by the first software development kit according to the target session connection includes:

[0020] Based on the session connection creation request sent by the first software development kit, a target session connection is established with the first software development kit, wherein the target session connection is a session connection based on the SOCKS protocol;

[0021] Obtain the identifier of the target session connection;

[0022] Receive a control frame sent by the first software development kit, representing the package name of the target application, based on the target session connection.

[0023] In this application, the target IP address and the package name of the target application are stored in an IP address database, enabling the second software development kit to redirect traffic to the target application in the iOS system, including:

[0024] Establish a second mapping relationship between the target IP address and the packet name of the target application;

[0025] The target IP address for establishing the second mapping relationship, as well as the package name of the target application, are stored in the IP address database so that the second software development kit can redirect traffic to the target application in the iOS system.

[0026] In this application, the method also includes:

[0027] Send the entry time to the IP address database so that the IP address database can delete or retain the target IP address based on the entry time. The entry time is the time when the target IP address for establishing the second mapping relationship and the packet name of the target application are entered into the IP address database.

[0028] Thirdly, this application provides an application referral device for an iOS system, applied to a first software development kit (SDK) developed based on an Android system, the device comprising:

[0029] The determination module is used to determine the target application and its package name. The target application is the application installed on the Android system and the iOS system, and the package name of the target application is the package name of the target application installed on the Android system.

[0030] The sending module is used to send the package name of the target application to the gateway, so that the gateway can establish a first mapping relationship based on the package name of the target application and the identifier of the target session connection. The identifier of the target session connection is the identifier of the session connection established between the first software development kit and the gateway.

[0031] The traffic redirection module is used to import target traffic corresponding to the packet name of the target application into the gateway according to the virtual private network service component configured in the Android system. This allows the gateway to parse the target traffic within the target session connection according to the first mapping relationship, obtain the target IP address of the target application, and store the target IP address and the packet name of the target application into the IP address database. This enables the second software development kit (SDK) to redirect traffic to the target application in the iOS system. The second SSD is a software development kit developed based on the iOS system.

[0032] Fourthly, this application provides an application referral device for an iOS system, applied to a gateway, the device comprising:

[0033] The first receiving module is used to receive a control frame sent by the first software development kit according to the target session connection, which represents the package name of the target application. The first software development kit is a software development kit developed based on the Android system, the target application is an application installed on the Android system and the iOS system, and the package name of the target application is the package name of the target application installed on the Android system.

[0034] The first processing module is used to determine the first mapping relationship between the identifier of the target session connection and the package name of the target application based on the package name of the target application.

[0035] The second receiving module is used to obtain target traffic in the target session connection according to the first mapping relationship. The target traffic is the traffic that the first software development kit redirects to the target application according to the virtual private network service component configured in the Android system.

[0036] The parsing module is used to parse the target traffic and obtain the target IP address corresponding to the target application;

[0037] The second processing module is used to store the target IP address and the package name of the target application into the IP address database, so that the second software development kit can drive traffic to the target application in the iOS system. The second software development kit is a software development kit developed based on the iOS system.

[0038] Fifthly, this application provides an electronic device, including: a processor, and a memory communicatively connected to the processor;

[0039] The memory stores instructions that the computer executes;

[0040] The processor executes computer execution instructions stored in memory to implement the application routing method of the iOS system of this application.

[0041] Sixthly, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, are used to implement the application routing method of the iOS system of this application.

[0042] This application provides a method, apparatus, device, and medium for redirecting traffic to an iOS system application. Based on a first software development kit (SDK) developed for the Android system, the method determines the target application and its package name. The package name is then sent to a gateway, which establishes a first mapping relationship based on the package name and the identifier of the target session connection. Using a virtual private network (VPN) service component configured in the Android system, the method directs target traffic corresponding to the package name of the target application to the gateway. The gateway then parses the target traffic within the target session connection according to the first mapping relationship to obtain the target IP address of the target application. The gateway stores the target IP address and the package name of the target application in an IP address database. This allows a second SSD to redirect traffic to the target application within the iOS system. In this method, the first SSD in the Android system uses the VPN service component to direct target traffic corresponding to the package name of the target application to the gateway. The gateway parses the target traffic to obtain the target IP address of the target application. Finally, the second SSD in the iOS system, along with the target IP address, redirects traffic to the target application within the iOS system, achieving an acceleration effect for the target application.

[0043] Meanwhile, the process by which the first software development kit imports target traffic corresponding to the package name of the target application into the gateway based on the virtual private network service component configured in the Android system is also a process of redirecting traffic to the target application in the Android system. This traffic redirection process is the traffic acceleration process. Therefore, this solution collects target IP addresses during the process of traffic acceleration for applications in the Android system. It utilizes the traffic acceleration process, saves resource costs, and improves collection efficiency. The more frequently the traffic acceleration service is used, the more complete and accurate the target IP addresses collected will be, and the faster and better the traffic acceleration effect will be for target applications in the iOS system.

[0052] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0053] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0054] With the rapid development of mobile games and live streaming, people are increasingly using mobile devices to play games and watch live streams. However, when using applications such as video live streaming, games, and flash sales, there are often stuttering, delays, or frame drops due to data limitations, which affects the user experience.

[0055] In existing technologies, it is common to improve the smoothness of live streaming and reduce lag and frame drops in games by accelerating applications. This is done by obtaining the server IP (Internet Protocol) address of the application to be accelerated, diverting the traffic of the specific IP address to the gateway, and then using relevant technologies to accelerate the internet traffic of the specific application.

[0056] However, to ensure their own security, applications keep their server IP addresses confidential and frequently change them. Android has a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service component that can intercept and redirect traffic based on the application's packet name, thus accelerating the application. Therefore, Android does not need to obtain the application's server IP address to achieve acceleration. However, iOS lacks this application-specific traffic redirection functionality and can only use IP addresses. This makes it difficult to obtain the IP address of the application to be accelerated on iOS, preventing acceleration through IP address redirection.

[0057] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a method for redirecting traffic to an iOS system. To solve the problem of difficulty in obtaining the IP address of the application to be accelerated in the iOS system, thus preventing the acceleration effect from being achieved through IP address redirection, this application uses a first software development kit (SDK) developed based on the Android system to determine the target application and its package name in the Android system. The package name of the target application is then sent to a gateway. The gateway establishes a first mapping relationship based on the package name of the target application and the identifier of the target session connection. The identifier of the target session connection is the identifier of the session connection established between the first SSD and the gateway. Then, the first SSD, using a virtual private network (VPN) service component configured in the Android system, imports the target traffic corresponding to the package name of the target application into the gateway. The gateway parses the target traffic within the target session connection according to the first mapping relationship to obtain the target IP address of the target application. The gateway then stores the target IP address and the package name of the target application in an IP address database, enabling a second SSD to redirect traffic to the target application in the iOS system based on the target IP address, thereby achieving the effect of accelerating the target application in the iOS system.

[0058] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application traffic redirection scenario in an iOS system, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the application traffic redirection device for the iOS system involves an Android system 110, a gateway 120, an IP address database 130, and an iOS system 140. The Android system 110 includes a target application 111, a first software development kit 112, and a virtual private network service component 113. The iOS system 140 includes the target application 111 and a second software development kit 141.

[0060] Both Android 110 and iOS 140 are mobile operating systems primarily used in mobile terminals, which can be wireless or wired devices. These can include mobile phones, tablets, computers with wireless transceiver capabilities, virtual reality (VR) terminals, augmented reality (AR) terminals, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self-driving vehicles, and so on; no specific limitations are specified here.

[0061] The first software development kit 112 in Android system 110 sends the traffic of target application 111 to gateway 120 through virtual private network service component 113.

[0062] Gateway 120 implements network interconnection above the network layer and is a complex network interconnection device used only for interconnecting two networks with different high-level protocols. Gateway 120 can be used for both wide area network (WAN) and local area network (LAN) interconnection. Gateway 120 is a computer system or device that acts as a converter between two systems with different communication protocols, data formats, languages, or even completely different architectures. Gateway 120 parses the traffic sent by the first software development kit 112 to obtain the IP address of the target application's server and then stores it in the IP address database 130.

[0063] The IP address database 130, through long-term accumulation and regular updates, maintenance, and supplementation, obtains the accurate server IP address of the target application 111. This server IP address can be recorded in a table or by software; no restriction is imposed here.

[0064] The second software development kit 141 in the iOS system 140 obtains the server IP address of the target application from the IP address database 130 and forwards the traffic of the target application to the gateway 120 for traffic redirection.

[0065] Software development kits (SDKs) are collections of development tools used by software engineers to create application software for specific software packages, software frameworks, hardware platforms, operating systems, etc.

[0066] Package name: refers to the unique identifier of an application in the Android system;

[0067] Session: Different sessions are distinguished by a 5-tuple, which consists of: source IP address, source port, destination IP address, destination port, and transport layer protocol.

[0068] Virtual Private Network Service Components: These refer to the application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by the Android system for developers to create virtual private network solutions.

[0069] SOCKS protocol: This refers to the firewall security session transition protocol. SOCKS provides a framework for client / server applications in the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) domains to more easily and securely use the services provided by network firewalls. The protocol operates at the session layer of the OSI (Open System Interconnect) reference model and uses the TCP protocol to transmit data.

[0070] Control frames: These are a type of Ethernet frame format primarily used to assist in the transmission of data frames.

[0071] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an application traffic redirection method for an iOS system using a first software development kit, as provided in an embodiment of this application. The execution entity in this embodiment can be... Figure 1 The first software development kit (SDK) based on the Android system. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0072] S201. Determine the target application and its package name. The target application is an application installed on the Android system and the iOS system. The package name of the target application is the package name of the target application installed on the Android system.

[0073] Among them, the target application can refer to the application that needs to be redirected to speed up the process. It often has high requirements for smoothness and can be video live streaming application, flash sale application, or game application, etc.

[0074] The package name of the target application can refer to the package name of the application in the Android system that needs to be redirected to speed up the process.

[0075] Methods for identifying target applications may include: identifying target applications based on the actions of iOS users in using acceleration software development kits to accelerate applications; or, identifying target applications based on users' application acceleration needs on Android systems by compiling a list of commonly used applications that require acceleration.

[0076] Methods to confirm the package name of a target application may include: viewing the application details in Android system settings, obtaining the package name by searching the application's installation file, or obtaining the package name through third-party software.

[0077] S202. Send the package name of the target application to the gateway so that the gateway can establish a first mapping relationship based on the package name of the target application and the identifier of the target session connection. The identifier of the target session connection is the identifier of the session connection established between the first software development kit and the gateway.

[0078] In this context, a gateway can refer to a proxy server used to redirect traffic to a target application. The function of a proxy server is to act as an intermediary for network users to obtain network information. Figuratively speaking, it is a relay station for network information, an intermediary agency between a personal network and a network service provider, responsible for forwarding legitimate network information and controlling and registering the forwarding process.

[0079] The target session connection refers to the session connection established between the first software development kit (SDK) and the gateway. A session represents a single interaction between the SSD and the gateway, which can be continuous or intermittent. When the SSD sends a session creation request to the gateway, the gateway creates a session connection between the SSD and the gateway, assigns it a session identifier, and sends it to the SSD. If the SSD subsequently requests other resources from the gateway, it automatically adds the session identifier to the request header. When the gateway receives the request, it receives the session identifier and locates the previously created session object in memory based on it. The session identifier is a unique identifier used to identify a session connection.

[0080] The first mapping relationship can refer to the one-to-one mapping between the package name of the target application and the identifier of the target session connection.

[0081] In this embodiment of the application, the method of sending the package name of the target application to the gateway so that the gateway can establish a first mapping relationship based on the package name of the target application and the identifier of the target session connection may include:

[0082] Send a request to create a session connection to the gateway so that the gateway can establish a target session connection with the first software development kit based on the request and obtain the identifier of the target session connection, wherein the target session connection is a session connection based on the SOCKS protocol;

[0083] After establishing the target session connection, the package name of the target application is sent to the gateway as a control frame, so that the gateway can establish a first mapping relationship based on the package name of the target application and the identifier of the target session connection.

[0084] The SOCKS protocol can refer to the firewall secure session transition protocol. SOCKS provides a framework for client / server applications in the TCP and UDP domains to more easily and securely use the services provided by network firewalls. The protocol operates at the session layer of the OSI reference model and uses the TCP protocol to transmit data.

[0085] A control frame can refer to a type of Ethernet frame format, primarily used to facilitate the transmission of data frames. In this embodiment, it is used to transmit the packet name of the target application.

[0086] In this embodiment of the application, since the first software development kit can redirect traffic to multiple applications when in use, there will be multiple session connections between the first software development kit and the gateway. At the same time, for the same application, the gateway will also receive multiple session connections requested by the first software development kit. Therefore, in order to determine the target session connection of the target application, it is necessary to establish a mapping relationship between the identifier of the target session connection and the package name of the target application.

[0087] S203. Based on the virtual private network service component configured in the Android system, the target traffic corresponding to the packet name of the target application is imported into the gateway, so that the gateway can parse the target traffic in the target session connection according to the first mapping relationship, obtain the target IP address of the target application, and store the target IP address and the packet name of the target application into the IP address database, so that the second software development kit can drive traffic to the target application in the iOS system. The second software development kit is a software development kit developed based on the iOS system.

[0088] Among them, the Virtual Private Network Service Component refers to the application programming interface provided by the Android system for developers to create virtual private network solutions.

[0089] Target traffic can refer to the data traffic generated by the target application during its use.

[0090] The target IP address can refer to the server IP address of the target application.

[0091] An IP address database can refer to a data table.

[0092] The second software development kit is a software development kit based on the iOS system, used to accelerate the traffic of target applications in the iOS system. It can import the data traffic of the target application to the gateway through the server IP address of the target application, and the gateway uses relevant technologies to accelerate the data traffic of the target application.

[0093] In this embodiment, the target application's package name is sent to the gateway via a first software development kit (SDK). The gateway then establishes a first mapping relationship based on the target application's package name and the identifier of the target session connection. Next, according to the virtual private network service component configured in the Android system, target traffic corresponding to the target application's package name is imported into the gateway. The gateway then parses the target traffic within the target session connection based on the first mapping relationship to obtain the target application's target IP address. The gateway then stores the target IP address and the target application's package name in an IP address database. This allows a second SSD installed in the iOS system to retrieve the target application's target IP address from the IP address database and redirect traffic to the target application in the iOS system, thereby accelerating the target application in the iOS system.

[0094] Meanwhile, the process by which the first software development kit imports target traffic corresponding to the package name of the target application into the gateway based on the virtual private network service component configured in the Android system is also a process of redirecting traffic to the target application in the Android system. This traffic redirection process is the traffic acceleration process. Therefore, this solution collects target IP addresses during the process of traffic acceleration for applications in the Android system. It utilizes the traffic acceleration process, saves resource costs, and improves collection efficiency. The more frequently the traffic acceleration service is used, the more complete and accurate the target IP addresses collected will be, and the faster and better the traffic acceleration effect will be for target applications in the iOS system.

[0095] The above embodiments describe in detail the application traffic redirection method for the iOS system according to the embodiments of this application from the perspective of the first software development kit. The following embodiments will describe in detail the application traffic redirection method for the iOS system according to the embodiments of this application from the perspective of the gateway.

[0096] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating an iOS system application traffic redirection method applied to a gateway, as provided in this embodiment. The execution entity in this embodiment can be... Figure 1 Gateways in, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0097] S301. Receive a control frame sent by the first software development kit (SDK) based on the target session connection, representing the package name of the target application, wherein the first SSD is a software development kit developed based on the Android system, the target application is an application installed on the Android system and the iOS system, and the package name of the target application is the package name of the target application installed on the Android system.

[0098] The method for receiving a control frame representing the package name of the target application sent by the first software development kit according to the target session connection includes:

[0099] Based on the session connection creation request sent by the first software development kit, a target session connection is established with the first software development kit, wherein the target session connection is a session connection based on the SOCKS protocol;

[0100] Obtain the identifier of the target session connection;

[0101] Receive a control frame sent by the first software development kit, representing the package name of the target application, based on the target session connection.

[0102] S302. Determine the first mapping relationship between the identifier of the target session connection and the package name of the target application based on the package name of the target application;

[0103] S303. According to the first mapping relationship, obtain the target traffic in the target session connection. The target traffic is the traffic that the first software development kit redirects to the target application according to the virtual private network service component configured in the Android system.

[0104] S304. Analyze the target traffic to obtain the target IP address corresponding to the target application;

[0105] S305. Store the target IP address and the packet name of the target application into the IP address database, so that the second software development kit can redirect traffic to the target application in the iOS system. The second software development kit is a software development kit developed based on the iOS system.

[0106] In this embodiment of the application, the method of storing the target IP address and the package name of the target application in an IP address database, so that the second software development kit can redirect traffic to the target application in the iOS system, includes:

[0107] Establish a second mapping relationship between the target IP address and the packet name of the target application;

[0108] The target IP address for establishing the second mapping relationship, as well as the package name of the target application, are stored in the IP address database so that the second software development kit can redirect traffic to the target application in the iOS system.

[0109] The second mapping relationship can refer to the mapping relationship between the target IP address and the packet name of the target application, which is used to represent the correspondence between the target IP address and the target application.

[0110] In this embodiment of the application, the method after storing the target IP address and the package name of the target application in the IP address database, so that the second software development kit can redirect traffic to the target application in the iOS system, may further include:

[0111] Send the entry time to the IP address database so that the IP address database can delete or retain the target IP address based on the entry time. The entry time is the time when the target IP address for establishing the second mapping relationship and the application's packet name are entered into the IP address database.

[0112] The method for deleting or retaining target IP addresses in the IP address database based on their storage time may include: To identify and delete deprecated IP addresses from the IP address database, when the gateway sends the target IP address and the packet name of the target application to the IP address database, it also sends the storage time, so that the IP address database can delete or retain the target IP address based on the storage time. If the target IP address and the packet name of the target application sent by the gateway are already in the IP address database, the storage time of the target IP address in the IP address database is updated according to the sent storage time. Starting from the storage time, when the retention time of the target IP address reaches the preset retention time, the target IP address is deleted.

[0113] In this embodiment of the application, the gateway can send the target IP address and the packet name of the target application to the IP address collection platform, and then the IP address collection platform stores the target IP address and the packet name of the target application into the IP address database. In order to identify and delete abandoned IP addresses in the IP address database, when the IP address collection platform sends the target IP address and the packet name of the target application to the IP address database, it also sends the storage time, so that the IP address collection platform can delete or retain the target IP address according to the storage time.

[0114] In this embodiment, a gateway receives a control frame representing the package name of a target application sent by a first software development kit (SDK) based on a target session connection. Then, based on the package name of the target application, a first mapping relationship between the identifier of the target session connection and the package name of the target application is determined. Next, based on the first mapping relationship, target traffic is obtained in the target session connection, and the target traffic is parsed to obtain the target IP address corresponding to the target application. Finally, the target IP address and the package name of the target application are stored in an IP address database. Thus, the second SSD can redirect traffic to the target application in the iOS system based on the target IP address, thereby achieving the effect of accelerating the target application in the iOS system.
