However, in this way, the client usually establishes an SSE connection with the server at the beginning. At this time, if the server information has not been obtained yet, there will be a long idle connection state, wasting broadband resources. Summary of the Invention

[0035] To solve the problems existing in the information interaction process in the related art, embodiments of the present disclosure provide an information interaction method, which will be introduced below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0036] Figure 1 As shown in the flowchart of an information interaction method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, this method can be executed by an information interaction device, where the device can be implemented by software and / or hardware and is generally integrated in an electronic device. As Figure 1 shown, this method is applied to a client and includes:

[0037] Step 101, send a first information acquisition request to the server.

[0038] The information interaction method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applicable to various information interaction scenarios between a client and a server, such as intelligent question answering. On the chat page of the client, the user communicates with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model object. When the user sends a piece of information to the server, the server generates a corresponding answer for the user's question through the AI model and replies to the user. If the Server-Sent Events (SSE) connection is initiated too early when the user's question is sent or before it is sent, at this time the AI model has not generated an answer yet, and there will be a long empty connection state when connecting to the server earlier, and the connection will not have any response, wasting server resources and bandwidth resources.

[0039] The first information acquisition request may be a request including the user's input information for acquiring a corresponding reply information from the server.

[0040] Specifically, the client can receive the user's input information, send a first information acquisition request carrying the input information to the server. In response to the first information acquisition request, the server can establish a first connection with the client and acquire corresponding target information, such as acquiring corresponding target information using the AI model. The target information can be a general term for the information that needs to be acquired for the first information acquisition request, and the target information can correspond to the above input information. For example, if the input information is a question, the target information can be the answer to the question. Alternatively, the client can first establish a first connection with the server and send a first information acquisition request to the server through the first connection.

[0041] Optionally, after the client sends the first information acquisition request to the server, it can display a loading animation and wait for a reply. At this time, if no reply is received after exceeding a preset time, it is considered a timeout, and timeout processing is performed, and a fallback reply is displayed. For example, the preset time is 25s; if no reply is received and the user continues to ask questions, the process will be interrupted and wait for the latest reply information.

[0042] Step 102: In response to receiving the first piece of information returned by the server through the first connection, display the first piece of information, and send a second information acquisition request to the server, so that the server establishes a Server-Sent Events (SSE) connection with the client, and in response to the existence of information to be sent, send the information to be sent to the client.

[0043] Among them, the first connection is a long connection different from the SSE connection. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first connection is taken as an example of a Websocket long connection for illustration. The first piece of information can be the starting part information in the above-mentioned target information. There is no limit to the characters included in the first piece of information. Specifically, the information included in the first information packet obtained by the server is the first piece of information. The second information acquisition request can be a request for establishing an SSE connection with the server and acquiring the remaining information of the target information after the first piece of information. The second information acquisition request can include the position of the current information. The information to be sent can be the information that needs to be sent to the client obtained by the server in response to the above-mentioned first information acquisition request, which is the remaining information of the target information after the first piece of information. The number of information to be sent can be multiple, and the server obtains them one by one. For example, in an intelligent Q&A scenario, if the AI model generates a sentence as an answer, then this sentence is the information to be sent. Each sentence is generated one by one, and each sentence obtained by the server is used as the information to be sent.

[0044] SSE is a server push technology based on the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which is used to realize the one-way communication of the server sending data to the client in real time. It allows the server to push data to the client in the form of an event stream. Compared with the traditional request method, SSE allows real-time data transmission without waiting for the completion of the entire request, can solve the problem of long waiting for the response packet in the traditional request, can send responses in packets, and the client can obtain data more quickly and display the obtained data on the screen in time, thus providing a better experience for users.

[0045] Specifically, after the client sends the first information acquisition request to the server, the server can obtain the corresponding target information. When the first piece of information is obtained, it can be returned to the client through the first connection; after the client receives the first piece of information, it can display the first piece of information and send the second information acquisition request to the server. The server can establish an SSE connection with the client and extract the position of the current information in the second information acquisition request to obtain the remaining information starting from the position of the current information. When the server obtains the information to be sent after the first piece of information, it pushes the information to be sent to the client one by one through the SSE connection.

[0046] It can be understood that in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the establishment of the first connection between the client and the server is always included and will not be interrupted to ensure the integrity of information interaction.

[0047] Step 103: Receive the information to be sent returned by the server through the SSE connection and display the information to be sent.

[0048] The client can receive the information to be sent returned by the server one by one through the SSE connection, write the information to be sent locally, and display it. When specifically displaying, the information to be sent can be stored in a queue and displayed on the screen character by character.

[0049] In this solution, after the server obtains the first piece of information and pushes it to the client, at this time, the client starts the SSE connection, and obtains the remaining information one by one through the SSE connection, avoiding the waste of server resources and broadband resources caused by an empty connection by setting the timing of starting the SSE connection.

[0050] In the information interaction solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the client sends a first information acquisition request to the server; in response to receiving the first piece of information returned by the server through the first connection, the first piece of information is displayed, and a second information acquisition request is sent to the server, so that the server establishes a Server-Sent Events (SSE) connection with the client, and in response to the existence of information to be sent, sends the information to be sent to the client; receives the information to be sent returned by the server through the SSE connection, and displays the information to be sent. By adopting the above technical solution, the client first sends a first information acquisition request to the server, displays and sends a second information acquisition request to the server after obtaining the first piece of information through the first connection, so as to establish an SSE connection with the server, and then receives and displays the information to be sent sent by the server. Not only can the client quickly obtain and display information through the SSE connection, but also the client requests an SSE connection with the server to obtain the remaining information after obtaining the first piece of information through other connections, avoiding the server from being in an empty connection state for a long time and wasting broadband resources, effectively improving the broadband utilization rate and information interaction efficiency.

[0051] In some embodiments, after receiving the information to be sent returned by the server through the SSE connection and displaying the information to be sent, the method further includes: receiving the target information returned by the server through the first connection, where the target information is sent by the server in response to the information to be sent including the last piece of information, and the target information includes the first piece of information and all the subsequent information to be sent.

[0052] The target information can be a general term for the information that needs to be acquired by the first information acquisition request, and can include the above-mentioned first piece of information and all the subsequent information to be sent. The last piece of information can be the ending part information of the target information, that is, when the server obtains the last piece of information, it means that all the target information has been obtained.

[0053] After the client starts to receive the information to be sent, it can receive the target information sent by the server in response to the information to be sent including the last piece of information and store it locally.

[0054] Optionally, the information interaction method may further include: if the target information is received when the last information returned by the server through the SSE connection has been displayed, then replace all the displayed information with the target information for display.

[0055] Optionally, the information interaction method may further include: if the target information is received before the last information returned by the server through the SSE connection, then store the target information locally.

[0056] While receiving the information to be sent through the SSE connection, the client can also receive the target information sent through the first connection. If the last information is received first through the SSE connection and the target information is received after the last information has been displayed, then the previously displayed all information can be replaced with the target information for refreshed display, avoiding the problem of incomplete overall information caused by possible loss of some information in the SSE connection, and improving the reliability of information interaction.

[0057] If the last information has not been received through the SSE connection and the target information is received, the target information can be not processed at this time, and only the target information is stored locally, and continue to receive the information to be sent through the SSE connection until the last information is received and displayed. By the above method, the smoothness of receiving and displaying the streaming information is not interrupted, the smoothness of information display is ensured, and thus the user experience effect is improved.

[0058] In addition, after the client receives the first information and the information to be sent through the SSE connection, they are both written locally. When writing, it can be judged whether the information locally is the target information. If so, the writing is not executed, otherwise, the writing is executed to update the local information.

[0059] The client receives the first information of the target information through the first connection, the subsequent information to be sent is obtained through the SSE connection, and the complete target information is also received through the first connection, ensuring that even if the client is interrupted or abnormal during the process of receiving information, the integrity of the data can be achieved through the complete information of the long connection pushed by the server; and when the client finishes obtaining data through the SSE connection and receives the target data through the first connection, the most suitable data can be used in combination with the actual situation, which can not only avoid the loss of information, but also ensure the smoothness of information display and the multi-terminal synchronization effect.

[0060] In some embodiments, the information interaction method may further include: if the information to be sent returned by the server through the SSE connection is the last information, then send a disconnection request of the SSE connection to the server to disconnect the SSE connection between the server and the client.

[0061] When the client receives the last message of the target message among the messages to be sent, it can send a disconnection request for the SSE connection to the server, and the server can disconnect the SSE connection with the client. Alternatively, when the server sends the message to be sent and the message to be sent is the last message of the target message, it can actively disconnect the SSE connection with the client.

[0062] The client starts the SSE connection after receiving the first message sent by the server, and disconnects the SSE connection after receiving the last message, further avoiding the waste of broadband resources caused by the idle connection state of the SSE connection.

[0063] In some embodiments, the information interaction method may further include: when presenting the first message or the message to be sent, outputting and presenting the pause punctuation with a first duration, and outputting and presenting the remaining characters other than the pause punctuation with a second duration, where the first duration is greater than the second duration.

[0064] Among them, the pause punctuation may be a punctuation mark with a pause meaning, and specifically may include a comma, a period, a document number, an exclamation mark, etc. The first duration may be the duration when the pause punctuation is presented, the second duration may be a preset character presentation duration, and the first duration is greater than the second duration. For example, the first duration may be 100 ms, and the second duration may be 20 ms.

[0065] When the client presents the first message or the message to be sent in the target message, it can output and present the pause punctuation with a first duration, and output and present the remaining characters other than the pause punctuation with a second duration, realizing the alienation processing of a slight pause when presenting the pause punctuation, improving the information presentation effect, and further improving the user experience effect, giving the user a stronger sense of narration.

[0066] Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of another information interaction method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. This method can be executed by an information interaction device, where the device can be implemented by software and / or hardware and is generally integrated in an electronic device. As Figure 2 shown, this method is applied to the server and includes:

[0067] Step 201, receive a first information acquisition request sent by the client, and send the first message to the client through the first connection.

[0068] The client can receive the input information of the user, send a first information acquisition request carrying the input information to the server, and the server responds to the first information acquisition request, establishes a first connection with the client, and can obtain the corresponding target information. When obtaining the first message, it can be returned to the client through the first connection.

[0069] Step 202: Receive a second information acquisition request sent by the client, establish an SSE connection with the client, and send the information to be sent to the client in response to the existence of information to be sent, where the second information acquisition request is sent by the client after receiving the first piece of information.

[0070] After receiving the first piece of information, the client can display the first piece of information and send a second information acquisition request to the server; the server can establish an SSE connection with the client, and when there is information to be sent after receiving the first piece of information, push the information to be sent to the client one by one through the SSE connection.

[0071] In some embodiments, the information interaction method may further include: in response to the information to be sent including the last piece of information, send target information to the client through a first connection, where the target information includes the first piece of information and all subsequent information to be sent.

[0072] In response to the information to be sent including the last piece of information, the server may send the complete target information to the client. The client may store the target information locally and use the target data or the information to be sent received through the SSE connection according to the actual situation.

[0073] In the information interaction solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server receives a first information acquisition request sent by the client and sends the first piece of information to the client through a first connection; receives a second information acquisition request sent by the client, establishes an SSE connection with the client, and sends the information to be sent to the client in response to the existence of information to be sent, where the second information acquisition request is sent by the client after receiving the first piece of information. By adopting the above technical solution, the server responds to the first information acquisition request sent by the client based on the first connection and sends the first piece of information. Then the client displays and sends a second information acquisition request to the server. After the server establishes an SSE connection with the client, it sends the information to be sent to the client for display. This not only enables the client to quickly acquire and display information through the SSE connection, but also the client requests an SSE connection with the server to acquire the remaining information after obtaining the first piece of information through other connections, avoiding the server having a long-term idle connection state and wasting broadband resources, and effectively improving broadband utilization and information interaction efficiency.

[0074] Next, a specific example is used to further illustrate the information interaction method of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Exemplarily, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of information interaction provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the information interaction process between the client and the server is demonstrated by taking the intelligent Q&A scenario as an example. The client in the figure may include a user interface, SSE, SDK (Software Development Kit), and a network layer. The AI model can be set on the server or externally, and there is no specific limitation. The specific information interaction process may include:

[0075] 1. The user interface of the client receives the question "Who are you" input by the user through the input box, and then uses the long connection (i.e., the above-mentioned first connection) through SSE and SDK to send the information including the question (i.e., the first information acquisition request) to the server; at this time, if the first information acquisition request fails to be sent, the loading animation in step 3 will not be displayed.

[0076] 2. The server receives the first information acquisition request, sends an information reply packet to the client, and forwards the question to the AI model, requesting the model to generate information.

[0077] 3. The client starts to display the loading animation and waits for the reply.

[0078] The following special situations may exist here:

[0079] a. If no reply is received after more than 25s, it is considered that the model has timed out, and timeout processing is performed to display a fallback reply;

[0080] b. If the AI model has not replied and the user continues to ask questions, the process will be interrupted, and wait for the AI to reply with the latest information.

[0081] 4. The AI model generates an answer based on the user's question and returns it to the server packet by packet through a callback.

[0082] 5. The server pushes the first packet to the client through the first connection. Here, the first packet is the information packet including the above-mentioned first piece of information. The first piece of information is, for example, "My name is" in the figure.

[0083] 6. After receiving the first packet, the client disappears the loading animation, puts the first piece of information received into the queue, waits for the words to be displayed on the screen one by one, and synchronously triggers the SSE logic to start the SSE pull request (i.e., send the second information acquisition request to the server) to request the data of each subsequent packet after the first packet. And the current data position 5 is included in this request, just for example.

[0084] The following special situations may exist here:

[0085] a. If there are situations such as network disconnection or interface failure during the request process of the SSE connection, try to reconnect up to 3 times, and request the information again from the position where the information was disconnected;

[0086] b. If the interval time exceeds 25s, it is considered that this request has timed out, and timeout handling is performed to display the fallback response;

[0087] c. If the user asks a question during the output display process, the output display will be interrupted, the fallback response will be displayed, and the server will be informed that the display has been interrupted;

[0088] d. When exiting the page during the output process, if the model has completed answering when entering the page next time, the complete content will be displayed, that is, the target information will be displayed. Otherwise, the remaining information will be pulled again from the disconnection point;

[0089] e. If the SSE connection is abnormally interrupted and there is still information not received, and during the process of preparing to reconnect to the SSE, the target information pushed by the first connection is received, the SSE connection can be skipped.

[0090] 7. After the server receives the stream pulling request for the SSE connection, it obtains the remaining information from the AI model, that is, the above-mentioned information to be sent, and returns it to the client in packets, that is, returns the information to the client one by one.

[0091] 8. After the client receives the information packet, it writes it into the local database cache from the business layer, that is, into the SDK data in the figure, and queues it up to be displayed word by word on the screen.

[0092] 9. After the AI model has finished pushing, the client disconnects the SSE stream pulling request

[0093] 10. The server pushes the complete information (that is, the target information in the final state) to the client through the long connection, and uses both the first connection and the SSE connection to ensure that the information is received normally and completely on the client side.

[0094] After the server receives the last piece of information from the AI model, it will immediately return the complete information to the client through the long connection via the information chain. The information pushed down by the long connection of the information chain on the client side will be directly written into the local database cache and thrown up to the business layer to notify the business layer that the information has been updated.

[0095] When the client finishes obtaining data through the SSE connection and receives the target data through the first connection, it can use the most suitable data according to the actual situation. Specifically, 1) If the streaming through the SSE connection is completed first and the information has been displayed on the screen, and at this time, the complete information pushed by the long connection is received, and it is judged that the information being displayed on the screen has been completed, then the information of the long connection is used to replace the information being displayed on the screen and refreshed on the screen to avoid the problem of incomplete information caused by the loss of a small segment of the information pulled through the SSE connection; 2) If the streaming through the SSE connection has not been completed and the information is still being displayed word by word on the screen, and at this time, the complete information pushed by the long connection is received, and after notifying the business layer, the business layer judges that the current is in the streaming process. In order to ensure a smooth streaming experience without interruption, the streaming output continues until the output is completed. This time, the complete information pushed by this long connection is not processed and only stored locally.

[0096] During the process of writing the information obtained during the SSE streaming into the local database cache, it will be judged whether the information in the local database cache is already the complete information pushed by the long connection. If so, the local cache will not be updated and the complete information pushed by the long connection will be used as the standard; otherwise, the local database cache will be updated.

[0097] In the above solution, when the AI model generates the first packet and pushes it to the client through the server, at this time, the client starts the SSE connection to obtain the remaining information packet by packet. At this time, the AI model will continue to output the remaining information at the right time, which can not only avoid wasting broadband resources, but also transmit information in real time through the SSE connection. The client can obtain data more quickly and display the obtained data on the screen in time, thus providing a better experience for users. And the first packet and the complete information are pushed down in real time through the long connection, and the remaining packets are actively pulled through the SSE connection, ensuring that even if the client is interrupted or has an exception during the process of actively pulling the remaining packets, the integrity of the information and the multi-terminal synchronization effect can be achieved through the complete information packet pushed by the server.
