[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0021] The message transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the application environment shown in Figure 1, which includes a sending device 102, a server 104 and a receiving device 106. Among them, the sending device 102, the server 104 and the receiving device 106 can communicate with each other through the network. The data storage system can store the data that the server 104 needs to process. The data storage system can be integrated on the server 104, or it can be placed on the cloud or other network servers. The data storage system can be any type of database. The data storage system and the server belong to an instant messaging system. The server 104 is the background server of the instant messaging application. The server 104 provides the function of registering sessions and can also provide some common functions of instant messaging, such as establishing groups, adding friends, chatting and transferring files. The server 104 can be, but is not limited to, an Openfire server. The Openfire server is an open source, real-time collaboration server based on the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) and developed in the Java programming language.

[0022] The sending device 102 and the receiving device 106 can be the same type of terminal devices, for example, a mobile terminal. The sending device 102 and the receiving device 106 can also be different types of terminal devices, for example, the sending device 102 is a mobile terminal and the receiving device is a personal computer.

[0023] Server 104 is deployed with a distributed messaging middleware, which can be, but is not limited to, RocketMQ (Rocket Message Queue) or Kafka. When server 104 starts, a set of sequential sequences, or queues, is initialized by default. The number of sequential sequences can be preset and adjusted based on actual needs through configuration, for example, to 128. Sequences can be understood as topics in the distributed messaging middleware.

[0024] Specifically, a social application is running on sending device 102 and receiving device 106. Sending device 102 can display a session interface for a target session in the social application. The target session can be any session created in the social application. When an operation to initiate a first message to the target session is triggered in the session interface, sending device 102 sends the first message to server 104 and determines the recipient identifier of the recipient of the first message. Server 104 determines a sequence associated with the recipient identifier from a set of sequence sequences and adds the first recipient record corresponding to the first message to the sequence associated with the recipient identifier. The recipient records in the sequence sequence are arranged in the order of addition, and the first recipient record is used to indicate the first message and the recipient identifier. Server 104 can consume messages in the sequence sequence. Consuming messages means storing the messages in a data storage system, such as a database. The server 104 can read the second recipient record from the sequential sequence associated with the recipient identifier. The reading order of the recipient records in the sequential sequence is consistent with the order in which the recipient records are added. The second recipient record is used to indicate the second message and the recipient identifier. Based on the second recipient record, a message record associated with the recipient identifier is added to the recipient message list. The message record includes a message number corresponding to the second message. The message number in the message record is used to represent the writing order of the message records. A message arrival notification is sent to multiple receiving devices of the recipient that are running a social application. The message arrival notification is used to notify each receiving device to obtain a message from the recipient message list based on the local maximum message number.

[0025] The sending device 102 and receiving device 104 may be, but are not limited to, desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, IoT devices, and portable wearable devices. IoT devices may include smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, smart car devices, projectors, and the like. Portable wearable devices may include smart watches, smart bracelets, head-mounted devices, and the like. Head-mounted devices may include virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, smart glasses, and the like. Server 104 may be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system consisting of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud computing services. Cloud servers are used to provide basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDNs (Content Delivery Networks), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The sending device 102, server 104, and receiving device 106 may be connected directly or indirectly via wired or wireless communication, which is not limited in this application.

[0026] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2 , a message transmission method is provided. The method can be executed by a terminal or a server, or can be executed by both the terminal and the server. The method is described by taking the application of the method to the server 104 in FIG1 as an example, and includes the following steps 202 to 206. Among them:

[0027] Step 202: Receive a first message sent by a sending device of a sender, determine a recipient identifier of a recipient of the first message, and the first message is triggered by a target session of a social application.

[0028] The social application can be any instant messaging application. The target session can be any session established in the social application. The target session can be a session involving two users or a group chat. The first message can be any message sent through the social application, and the message can be a request. The first message can carry a recipient identifier, which is used to uniquely identify the recipient. The first message can carry multiple recipient identifiers, with different recipient identifiers used to identify different recipients, meaning that the first message has multiple recipients. The first message also carries content entered by the user into the target session, which can be, but is not limited to, text, images, or videos.

[0029] Step 204: Determine the sequential sequence associated with the receiver identifier of the receiver from the sequential sequence set, generate a first receiver record corresponding to the first message, and add the first receiver record to the sequential sequence associated with the receiver identifier. The receiver records in the sequential sequence are arranged in the order of addition, and the first receiver record is used to indicate the first message and the receiver identifier.

[0030] One receiver identifier is associated with, that is, corresponds to, one sequential sequence, and one sequential sequence can be associated with, that is, corresponds to, one or more receiver identifiers, and multiple means at least two.

[0031] Recipient records are used to record the recipient's identifier and message identifier. For example, a recipient record can be represented as Message{"userId":user_1,"packet":p1}, where userId is the user identifier (recipient identifier), packet is the message identifier, user_1 is the recipient identifier, and p1 is the message identifier. The first recipient record can contain the message identifier of the first message and the recipient identifier. A sequential sequence is a sequential queue. Recipient records in a sequential sequence are arranged in the order they are added. Recipient records in a sequential sequence are first in, first out (FIFO), meaning that the first recipient record added to the sequence is removed first. A consumer on a server, such as an Openfire service in an Openfire service cluster, can store the contents of a recipient record in the sequential sequence in the database, thereby consuming the recipient records in the sequential sequence. A recipient record in the sequential sequence can only be consumed by one consumer at a time. After successfully consuming a recipient record, the consumer can proceed to consume the next recipient record. This ensures the order of messages for the same recipient in the database.

[0032] Specifically, the server may generate a message identifier of the first message, and may associate the first message and the first message identifier and store them in a message storage list, so that the first message may be retrieved from the message storage list according to the message identifier of the first message.

[0033] In some embodiments, the message storage list may store messages in an encrypted manner. Specifically, the server may encrypt the first message to obtain an encrypted message of the first message, and then associate the encrypted message of the first message with the message identifier of the first message and store it in the message storage list.

[0034] Step 206: read a second recipient record from the sequential sequence associated with the recipient identifier. The reading order of the recipient records in the sequential sequence is consistent with the order in which the recipient records are added. The second recipient record is used to indicate the second message and the recipient identifier.

[0035] The second message and the first message may or may not be the same message. The second message is also sent to the same recipient. The reading order is consistent with the order in which it is added: recipient records added to the sequence are prioritized, while those read from the sequence are prioritized, i.e., first-in, first-out. Similarly, the second recipient record may include the message identifier of the second message and the recipient identifier of the recipient of the second message.

[0036] Specifically, the sequence sequence has a head and a tail. The recipient record in the sequence sequence is removed from the head and added to the tail, thereby implementing first-in, first-out. The second recipient record is the recipient record at the head of the sequence sequence. The server can read the recipient record from the head of the sequence sequence to obtain the second recipient record.

[0037] Step 208: Based on the second recipient record, a message record associated with the recipient identifier is added to the recipient message list. The message record includes a message number corresponding to the second message. The message number in the message record is used to indicate the writing order of the message records.

[0038] The message record includes the message number, recipient ID, and message ID. The message record added based on the second recipient record includes the message number of the second message, the message ID of the second message, and the recipient ID of the recipient of the second message. Of course, it can also include other information such as the unique ID of the message record or information related to the transaction.

[0039] The message number in the message record written first to the recipient's message list is smaller than the message number in the message record written later. The recipient's message list can store message records associated with different recipient identifiers. Figure 3 shows the recipient's message list. Because the message number in a message record indicates the order in which the message records are written, the message number can also be called a sequence offset.

[0040] Specifically, the recipient message list is stored in a database. The server first writes the second recipient record into the consumption queue associated with the recipient identifier. The recipient records in the consumption queue also meet the first-in-first-out principle. The server can extract the first recipient record in the consumption queue and send it to the database. The database adds a new message record associated with the recipient identifier to the recipient message list based on the recipient record. If the new message record is successfully added, the server again executes the step of extracting the first recipient record in the consumption queue and sending it to the database, thereby adding new message records to the recipient message list in sequence.

[0041] Step 210: Send a message arrival notification to each of the multiple receiving devices of the recipient that are running a social application. The message arrival notification is used to notify each receiving device to obtain a message from the recipient's message list based on the local maximum message number.

[0042] Wherein, in the case where the server is an Openfire server, the message arrival notification may be an XMPP signaling. The local maximum message number is the largest message number among the message numbers of the messages currently received by the receiving device.

[0043] Specifically, after receiving a message arrival notification, the receiving device sends a message retrieval request to the server. In response to the message retrieval request, the server identifies, from the recipient's message list, each message record associated with the recipient's identifier and whose message number is greater than the local maximum message number. The server then returns the message and message number in each identified message record, i.e., the target message record, to the receiving device.

[0044] In the above-mentioned message transmission method, a first message sent by a sending device of a sender is received, a receiver identifier of a receiver of the first message is determined, the first message is triggered by a target session of a social application, a sequence sequence associated with the receiver identifier of the receiver is determined from a sequence sequence set, a first receiver record corresponding to the first message is added to the sequence sequence associated with the receiver identifier, the receiver records in the sequence sequence are arranged in the order of addition, the first receiver record is used to indicate the first message and the receiver identifier, a second receiver record is read from the sequence sequence associated with the receiver identifier, the reading order of the receiver records in the sequence sequence is consistent with the order in which the receiver records are added, the second receiver record is used to indicate the second message and the receiver identifier, based on the second receiver record, a message record associated with the receiver identifier is added to the receiver message list, the message record contains a message number corresponding to the second message, and the message number in the message record is used to represent the writing order of the message records, and a message arrival notification is sent to multiple receiving devices of the receiver running the social application, the message arrival notification is used to notify each receiving device to obtain a message from the receiver message list based on the local maximum message number. Therefore, when social applications are running on multiple receiving devices of the recipient, each receiving device can synchronize messages in a timely manner based on the local maximum message number. It is only necessary to store a message record of each message sent to the recipient in the recipient's message list, without having to store messages separately for each type of receiving device. This reduces the storage pressure of the instant messaging system and helps improve system stability.

[0045] The message transmission method provided in the present application realizes multi-terminal message synchronization of an instant messaging system, i.e., a social application, based on a sequence. The recipient message list can be stored in a database. In the database, only one message record is saved for a single user of a single message, without distinguishing between different client types of users, thereby having higher database access performance and stronger scalability.

[0046] In some embodiments, the step of determining the message number corresponding to the second message includes: determining the maximum message number among the message numbers respectively contained in each message record in the recipient's message list; incrementing the maximum message number to obtain the message number corresponding to the second message.

[0047] For example, there are 100 message records in the recipient message list, and the largest message number among these 100 message records is 100. Then the largest message number is 100, and the increment can be an addition operation, so the message number corresponding to the second message is 101.

[0048] In this embodiment, the maximum message number is incremented to obtain the message number corresponding to the second message, so that the message number can reflect the order in which the message records are written into the recipient's message list. The larger the message number, the later it is written, so the recipient can actively pull the message according to the message number.

[0049] In some embodiments, the message record includes a message identifier, and the method further includes: receiving a message retrieval request sent by a receiving device, the message retrieval request carries a recipient identifier and a local maximum message number of the receiving device; in response to the message retrieval request, determining a target message record from the recipient message list, the target message record is associated with the recipient identifier, and the message number in the target message record is greater than the local maximum message number; and returning the message and message number represented by the message identifier in the target message record to the receiving device.

[0050] After receiving a message arrival notification, the receiving device sends a message retrieval request to the server. The local maximum message number is the highest message number currently received by the receiving device. After receiving the message number returned by the server, the receiving device updates the local maximum message number. For example, if the local maximum message number is 100 and the target message record contains message number 101, the local maximum message number is updated to 101. If there are multiple target message records, the local maximum message number is updated to the highest message number among the message numbers contained in each target message record.

[0051] Specifically, in response to the message retrieval request, the server determines from the recipient message list each message record associated with the recipient identifier and whose message number is greater than the local maximum message number, and returns each determined message record, i.e., the message corresponding to the message identifier in the target message record and the message number in the target message record, to the receiving device.

[0052] In some embodiments, the server obtains a message identifier from the target message record as the target message identifier, then searches a message storage list for the message associated with the target message identifier, returns the message associated with the target message identifier to the receiving device, and returns the message number corresponding to the message to the receiving device. The message storage list is stored in a database. If the message storage list contains an encrypted message, the encrypted message can be sent to the receiving device, which can then decrypt the encrypted message. Alternatively, the encrypted message can be decrypted before being sent to the receiving device.

[0053] In this embodiment, the receiving device retrieves messages with a message number greater than the local maximum message number based on the local maximum message number. This allows each receiving device to synchronize messages in a timely manner based on the local maximum message number, even if social applications are running on multiple receiving devices. The database only needs to store one message record for each message sent to a recipient in the recipient's message list, rather than storing messages separately for each type of receiving device. This reduces the storage pressure on the instant messaging system and helps improve system stability.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first message carries a session identifier of the target session, and the method further includes: determining a user identifier list associated with the session identifier, where the users represented by the user identifiers in the user identifier list are users participating in the target session; determining a recipient identifier of a recipient of the first message, including: using the user identifier in the user identifier list as the recipient identifier of the recipient of the first message.

[0055] Each user ID in the user ID list represents a recipient. Each user ID is a recipient ID, and for each recipient, the above steps 202-210 can be used to implement message transmission.

[0056] In this embodiment, the sender identifier can be quickly determined through the user identifier list associated with the session identifier.

[0057] In some embodiments, determining a sequential sequence associated with a receiver identifier of a receiver from a sequential sequence set includes: performing a hash calculation on the receiver identifier to obtain a hash value corresponding to the receiver identifier; using the number of sequential sequences in the sequential sequence set as the number of sequences; determining a target sequence identifier based on the hash value and the number of sequences; and determining the sequential sequence represented by the target sequence identifier in the sequential sequence set as the sequential sequence associated with the receiver identifier.

[0058] Specifically, the sequence identifiers of the sequential sequences in the sequential sequence set are continuously increasing values. For example, if the sequential sequence set includes 128 sequential sequences, the sequence identifiers can range from 0 to 127 or from 1 to 128. The server can perform a modulo operation on the hash value and the number of sequences, and use the result of the modulo operation as the target sequence identifier. For example, if the hash value is 80, then 80 / 128 = 80, and thus the target sequence identifier is 80.

[0059] In this embodiment, the target sequence identifier is determined based on the hash value and the sequence number, so that messages sent to the same recipient can be written into the same sequential sequence to ensure that the messages are consumed in order.

[0060] In some embodiments, generating a first recipient record corresponding to a first message includes: determining a message identifier of the first message; and generating a first recipient record corresponding to the first message based on the message identifier of the first message and a recipient identifier of a recipient of the first message.

[0061] The first recipient record includes the message identifier of the first message and the recipient identifier of the recipient of the first message.

[0062] In this embodiment, the message identifier and the recipient identifier are recorded in the first recipient record, and the amount of recorded data is relatively small, thereby reducing the occupation of storage resources.

[0063] Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of the process from sending to receiving messages. The sender has sending devices 1 and 2, and the receiver has receiving devices 1 and 2. Social applications are running on all three devices. The sender sends a message to the receiver via the social application on sending device 1. The message is first stored in a database by the server. The server then notifies receiving devices 1 and 2 to initiate a data retrieval request. After receiving the message retrieval request from receiving device 1, the server retrieves the corresponding message and message number from the database and returns it to receiving device 1. Similarly, after receiving the message retrieval request from receiving device 2, the server retrieves the corresponding message and message number from the database and returns it to receiving device 2. For example, in the figure, 1. Send a message; 2. Save the encrypted message and the recipient's message list; 3. Notify the recipient to retrieve messages; 4. The receiving device actively retrieves messages; and 5. The server queries for messages with a specified user ID (recipient ID) and a message number greater than the local maximum message number.

[0064] As shown in Figure 5, a schematic diagram is provided for the process from sending a message to writing it to the database. A sending device sends two messages, p1 and p2, to a group chat of n users. These two messages are sent sequentially. For each user, the user ID and p1 form a recipient record for that user, and the user ID and p2 form another recipient record for that user. These two recipient records for that user are written to a sequence associated with that user's ID. For example, in Figure 5, there are m sequence sequences in the server, namely sequence 1 through sequence m. User_1 through user_n are the user IDs of the n users, respectively. User_k represents the user ID of the kth user, where 1 ≤ k ≤ n. UserId is the user ID field, and packet is the message ID field. User_1 is associated with sequence 1. Message {"userId":user_1, "packet":p1} is a recipient record for the user represented by user_1, and Message {"userId":user_1, "packet":p2} is another recipient record for the user represented by user_1.

[0065] A server can have multiple consumers, and the number of consumers can be consistent with or different from the number of sequential sequences. For example, consumers can correspond one-to-one with sequential sequences. Consumers can retrieve recipient records from the corresponding sequential sequence and write them to the consumption queue associated with the corresponding recipient identifier. For example, the recipient record associated with user_1 is written to user_1's consumption queue. User_1's consumption queue can be represented as: "user_1: [Message{"userId":user_1, "packet":p1}, Message{"userId":user_1, "packet":p2}]". The consumer can then retrieve the recipient record from the consumption queue and write the message to the database according to the userId, generating a message record in the database containing the userId and the message.

[0066] The message transmission method provided by this application saves only one record of the message recipient in the backend in the form of a sequence, and different clients of the recipient (or different types of terminal devices) will request messages from the backend and update the local maximum message number based on the condition of the maximum message number in the local cache. In order to reduce the storage and access pressure of the database, enhance the scalability of the recipient client type, thereby improving the stability of the system, and can quickly support multiple types of recipient clients without affecting the stability of existing production business. And because each message and each recipient only needs to save one recipient record, it reduces the large amount of message diffusion writes generated by the client type, reduces the number of records in the database, and improves the access performance of the database interface.

[0067] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowcharts involved in the various embodiments described above are displayed in sequence according to the instructions of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least a portion of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the various embodiments described above can include multiple steps or multiple stages, and these steps or stages are not necessarily executed and completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily to be carried out in sequence, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a portion of steps or stages in other steps.

[0068] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present application also provide a message transmission device for implementing the aforementioned message transmission method.
