Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of data processing, and more particularly to a terminal device communication method, apparatus, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing IoT systems, numerous edge devices need to independently establish connections and maintain heartbeats with MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) servers. However, edge devices are limited by hardware, with relatively weak network and computing modules. Independently maintaining connections and heartbeats with MQTT servers increases power consumption and network load. Meanwhile, MQTT servers need to handle massive numbers of connections simultaneously, resulting in significant resource consumption and potential bottlenecks. When the number of edge devices is large or network fluctuations occur, frequent disconnections and reconnections can easily lead to overall service instability. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] To reduce server resource consumption and minimize frequent disconnections and reconnections when there are many edge devices or network fluctuations, thereby improving overall service stability, one embodiment of this application provides a terminal device communication method, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step 101: Respond to the access of multiple terminal devices and obtain the communication data of the multiple terminal devices.

[0019] In the initial stage, multiple terminal devices do not connect to the server through any proxy device. Instead, they each establish a direct connection with the server independently and communicate or exchange data with the server based on this connection. During this initial stage, the server collects the communication data of each terminal device in real time.

[0020] In this embodiment, the communication data of the terminal device includes the number of valid data interactions between the terminal device and the server, the total number of heartbeats, and the number of connection establishments. In other embodiments, it may also include any other communication data.

[0021] Step 102: Generate target information based on the communication data; the target information includes the distribution matrix of the multiple terminal devices.

[0022] By hierarchically or clustering multiple terminal data based on communication data that characterizes different communication performance of terminal devices, corresponding target information can be generated.

[0023] For example, the ratio of the total number of heartbeats to the number of connection establishments can characterize the communication stability between the terminal device and the server. The number of effective data exchanges can characterize the communication activity between the terminal device and the server.

[0024] In addition to the distribution matrix of multiple terminal devices, the target information can also be the clustering results, hierarchical results, etc. of multiple terminal devices.

[0025] Step 103: Based on the target information, determine at least one primary device and / or at least one secondary device from the plurality of terminal devices; the primary device acts as a proxy for the terminal device to access the network, and the secondary device acts as a proxy for the primary device to access the network.

[0026] Based on the classification of multiple terminal devices according to their communication performance in the target information, at least one primary device with high communication performance is identified. These primary devices retain their connection with the server, while other terminal devices disconnect from the server and communicate with the server through these primary devices as proxies.

[0027] Alternatively, based on the classification of multiple terminal devices according to their communication performance in the target information, at least one primary device with high communication performance is identified. Then, based on the target information, at least one secondary device with high performance is identified from these primary devices. These secondary devices retain their connection with the server, while other terminal devices and primary devices disconnect from the server and communicate with the server through these secondary devices as proxies.

[0028] Alternatively, based on the classification of multiple terminal devices according to their communication performance in the target information, at least one primary device with high communication performance is identified. Then, based on the target information, at least one secondary device with high performance is identified from these primary devices. These secondary devices retain their connection with the server, while other terminal devices and primary devices disconnect from the server. Other terminal devices connect to the corresponding secondary devices through these primary devices as proxies, and primary devices communicate with the server through these secondary devices as proxies.

[0029] In the above scheme, by allowing terminal devices to connect directly to the server in the initial stage, communication data that characterizes the communication performance of the terminal devices is collected. Based on this communication data, which characterizes the different communication performance of the terminal devices, multiple terminal devices are then hierarchically or clustered to generate target information such as distribution matrices, clustering results, or hierarchical results. Subsequently, based on the target information, high-performance primary and / or secondary devices can be identified from the terminal devices. The primary devices retain their connection to the server, and other terminal devices communicate with the server through the primary devices. Alternatively, the secondary devices retain their connection to the server, and other terminal devices and primary devices communicate with the server through the secondary devices. Or, the secondary devices retain their connection to the server, and other terminal devices connect to the corresponding secondary devices through the primary devices, and the primary devices communicate with the server through the secondary devices. This effectively reduces the number of connections the server needs to handle simultaneously, lowers server resource consumption, avoids each terminal device independently maintaining its connection and heartbeat with the server, reduces terminal device power consumption and network load, and by filtering proxy devices based on communication performance and building a multi-level proxy communication architecture, it reduces frequent disconnections and reconnections when there are many edge devices or network fluctuations, significantly improving the overall service stability.

[0030] This application also provides a terminal device communication method in one example, such as Figure 2 As shown, after determining at least one primary device from the plurality of terminal devices based on the target information, the method further includes: Step 201: Obtain communication data of at least one primary device; the communication data of each primary device includes the communication data of the terminal device accessing that primary device.

[0031] After identifying multiple primary devices based on target information, other terminal devices that were not selected as primary devices disconnect from the server and establish a communication link with the corresponding primary device via UDP (multicast or unicast). Each primary device then acts as a proxy to forward data, enabling indirect communication with the server.

[0032] For ease of description, this stage will be referred to as the first proxy communication stage. In the first proxy communication stage, the server continuously collects communication data between the primary devices and the server, as well as communication data of the terminal devices accessed through each primary device. Each primary device summarizes the communication data of its subordinate terminal devices and reports it synchronously to the server, ensuring that the server obtains the communication data of all primary devices and all terminal devices.

[0033] Step 202: Update the target information based on the communication data.

[0034] The target information is updated based on the communication data collected from all primary devices and all terminal devices during this phase.

[0035] In the above scheme, after identifying multiple primary devices based on target information, other terminal devices not selected as primary devices disconnect their direct connection with the server and establish a communication link with the corresponding primary device via UDP. The primary device then forwards data to achieve indirect communication with the server. Compared to the initial stage where each terminal device communicates directly with the server independently, the communication method between the terminal devices and the server changes in the first proxy communication stage, resulting in significant changes in the corresponding communication data. Therefore, the server needs to continuously collect communication data from each primary device and the terminal devices accessing the server through the primary devices' aggregation and reporting. Based on the communication data collected from all primary devices and terminal devices in the first proxy communication stage, the target information is updated to ensure that the target information can characterize the actual communication scenario after the change in communication method, accurately reflect the communication performance of each primary device and terminal device, and provide an accurate data foundation for subsequent aggregation.

[0036] In one example of this application, a terminal device communication method is also provided. After updating the target information based on the communication data, the method further includes: If the distribution matrix in the updated target information does not change within a preset time, at least one secondary device is determined from the at least one primary device based on the target information.

[0037] During the first proxy communication phase, the distribution matrix in the target information needs to be monitored. Communication data is collected and the target information is updated. The updated target information is compared with the original target information. If the updated target information has changed compared with the original target information, communication data is collected and the target information is updated again until the updated target information has not changed compared with the original target information within a preset time. Then, at least one secondary device is determined from at least one primary device based on the latest target information.

[0038] In the above scheme, after transitioning to the first proxy communication stage in the initial phase, the communication methods of each terminal device change, causing the corresponding communication data to change as well. This leads to frequent changes in the target information in the early stages of the first proxy communication stage. By monitoring the distribution matrix of the target information in the first proxy communication stage, continuously collecting communication data and updating the target information, and comparing the updated target information with the original target information, if changes are found, the data collection and update operations continue until the updated target information remains unchanged within a preset time. That is, the communication links of each primary device and each terminal device in the first proxy communication stage reach a stable state. Based on this stable target information, at least one secondary device is determined from at least one primary device. This ensures that the selection criteria for secondary devices accurately reflect the actual communication performance and proxy carrying capacity of each primary device in the stable communication architecture, further optimizing the rationality of determining the multi-level proxy communication architecture and further improving the overall service stability.

[0039] This application also provides a terminal device communication method in one example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the target information further includes first communication information and second communication information. The step of determining at least one primary device from the plurality of terminal devices based on the target information includes: Step 301: Determine at least one terminal device from the plurality of terminal devices that has the same second communication information, wherein the second communication information characterizes the communication stability of the corresponding terminal device.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first communication information is the number of valid data interactions, and the second communication information is the ratio of the total number of heartbeats to the number of connection establishments. In other embodiments, the first communication information can be any other communication data that can characterize the communication activity of the corresponding terminal device, and the second communication information can be any other communication data that can characterize the communication stability of the corresponding terminal device.

[0041] First, classify all terminal devices according to the second communication information, and group terminal devices with the same second communication information together.

[0042] For example, such as Figure 4A As shown, the communication data between terminal devices A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, and A12 and the server are as follows: A1: [X: 1, Y: 1], A2: [X: 6, Y: 1], A3: [X: 8, Y: 1], A4: [X: 2, Y: 2], A5: [X: 5, Y: 2], A6: [X: 3, Y: 3], A7: [X: 4, Y: 3], A8: [X: 8, Y: 3], A9: [X: 3, Y: 4], A10: [X: 4, Y: 4], A11: [X: 5, Y: 4], A12: [X: 8, Y: 4]. Where X represents the first communication information and Y represents the second communication information. Based on the second communication information, these terminal devices are classified as follows: Terminal devices A1, A2, and A3, where all second communication information is 1, are grouped together. Terminal devices A4 and A5, where all second communication information is 2, are grouped together. Terminal devices A6, A7, and A8, where all second communication information is 3, are grouped together. Terminal devices A9, A10, A11, and A12, where all second communication information is 4, are grouped together. The result is as follows: Figure 4A The distribution matrix shown.

[0043] Step 302: Determine the terminal device with the largest first communication information among the at least one terminal device as the first-level device, where the first communication information represents the communication activity of the corresponding terminal device.

[0044] Among at least one terminal device with the same second communication information, the terminal device with the largest first communication information is identified as a first-level device.

[0045] Continuing from the above examples, such as Figure 4B As shown, for terminal devices A1, A2, and A3 where all second communication information is 1, terminal device A3 has the largest first communication information, so terminal device A3 is determined as a first-level device. For terminal devices A4 and A5 where all second communication information is 2, terminal device A5 has the largest first communication information, so terminal device A5 is determined as a first-level device. For terminal devices A6, A7, and A8 where all second communication information is 3, terminal device A8 has the largest first communication information, so terminal device A8 is determined as a first-level device. For terminal devices A9, A10, A11, and A12 where all second communication information is 4, terminal device A12 has the largest first communication information, so terminal device A12 is determined as a first-level device. Having determined the first-level devices A3, A5, A8, and A12, we obtain the following... Figure 4B The distribution matrix shown. According to... Figure 4BThe distribution matrix shown indicates that terminal devices A1 and A2 access the server through primary device A3 as proxy devices, terminal device A4 accesses the server through primary device A5 as proxy devices, terminal devices A6 and A7 access the server through primary device A8 as proxy devices, and terminal devices A9, A10, and A11 access the server through primary device A12 as proxy devices.

[0046] In the above scheme, all terminal devices are first classified according to a second communication information that characterizes their communication stability, grouping those with similar communication stability into one group. Then, the terminal device with the highest communication activity in each group is selected as the primary device, and the other terminal devices in that group connect to the server through this primary device as proxy devices. This achieves accurate grouping and proxy device selection based on the terminal device's own communication performance characteristics, ensuring that the primary device possesses matching communication stability and optimal communication activity to fulfill its proxy device role. This effectively reduces the number of direct connections the server needs to handle, significantly reducing server resource consumption. Simultaneously, it avoids each terminal device independently maintaining its connection and heartbeat with the server, reducing terminal device power consumption and network load, thereby reducing frequent disconnections and reconnections when there are many edge devices or network fluctuations, significantly improving overall service stability.

[0047] In one example of this application, a terminal device communication method is also provided, wherein the target information further includes first communication information and second communication information, and the step of determining at least one secondary device from the at least one primary device based on the target information includes: Step 401: Traverse the primary devices from low to high according to their second communication information.

[0048] Step 402: If the first communication information of the current level device is greater than or equal to that of the previous level device, continue the traversal. The previous level device is the level device traversed in the previous traversal.

[0049] Step 403: If the first communication information of the current level-one device is less than that of the previous level-one device, the previous level-one device is identified as the level-two device.

[0050] Step 404: After the traversal is completed, the at least one secondary device is obtained.

[0051] For example, such as Figure 4BThe distribution matrix shown contains devices A3, A5, A8, and A12. The data is traversed from low to high according to the second communication information of the first devices. First, we reach device A3, which is the first device traversed and has no predecessor device; therefore, we continue traversing. Next, we reach device A5. The predecessor device of device A5 is device A3. The first communication information of device A3 is 8, and the first communication information of device A5 is 5. The first communication information of the predecessor device A3 is greater than that of device A5; therefore, device A3 is determined as the second device, and we continue traversing. Finally, we reach device A8. The predecessor device of device A8 is device A5. The first communication information of device A5 is 5, and the first communication information of device A8 is 8. The first communication information of device A8 is greater than that of its predecessor device A5; therefore, we continue traversing. Traversing to the first device A12, the preceding device of the first device A12 is the first device A8. The first communication information of the first device A8 is 8, and the first communication information of the first device A12 is 8. The first communication information of the preceding device A8 is equal to the first communication information of the first device A12. Since the first device has been traversed, the first device A12 is determined as the second device. After the traversal is completed, the second devices A3 and A12 are determined, resulting in the following... Figure 4C The distribution matrix is ​​shown. Based on... Figure 4C The distribution matrix shown indicates that terminal devices A1 and A2 are connected to the server via secondary device A3 as proxy devices, and primary devices A5 and A8 and terminal devices A4, A6, A7, A9, A10, and A11 are connected to the server via secondary device A12 as proxy devices.

[0052] In the above scheme, when determining at least one secondary device from at least one primary device, the primary devices are first traversed from low to high according to the second communication information representing their communication stability. During the traversal, if the first communication information of the current primary device is greater than or equal to that of the previous primary device, the traversal continues. If the first communication information of the current primary device is less than that of the previous primary device, the previous primary device is determined as a secondary device. After the traversal is completed, at least one secondary device is obtained. By selecting secondary devices based on the traversal order of communication stability combined with the comparison of communication activity, it is ensured that the selected secondary devices have both better communication stability and communication activity, and can stably carry out multi-level proxy forwarding tasks. This further simplifies the number of devices directly connected to the server, reduces server resource consumption and connection pressure, optimizes the hierarchical rationality of the multi-level proxy communication architecture, reduces communication loss and disconnection risk of terminal devices and proxy devices at all levels, and effectively improves the overall service stability and communication transmission efficiency.

[0053] In one example of this application, a terminal device communication method is also provided, wherein the target information further includes first communication information and second communication information, and the step of determining at least one secondary device from the at least one primary device based on the target information includes: Step 501: Traverse the primary devices from low to high according to their second communication information.

[0054] Step 502: If it is determined that there is a target primary device for the current primary device, traverse to the target primary device. The target primary device is the primary device with the largest first communication information within the second communication information range and higher than the first communication information of the current primary device. The second communication information range is determined based on the second communication information of the current primary device and a preset step size.

[0055] Step 503: If it is determined that there is no target primary device for the current primary device, the current primary device is determined as the secondary device.

[0056] Step 504: After the traversal is completed, the at least one secondary device is obtained.

[0057] For example, such as Figure 5AThe distribution matrix shown contains devices A3, A5, A8, and A12. The preset step size is set to 2. The second communication information of device A5 is 2, that of device A8 is 3, and that of device A12 is 4. The system iterates through the devices according to their second communication information from low to high. First, it iterates to device A3. The second communication information of device A3 is 1, so the range of second communication information is 1-3. Within this range, devices A5 and A8 exist. The first communication information of device A3 is 8, while that of device A5 is 5 and that of device A8 is 7, all of which are less than the first communication information of device A3. Therefore, device A3 is identified as the second device, and the traversal continues. Traversing to the first device A5, the second communication information of the first device A5 is 2, so the range of the second communication information is 2-4. Within this range, there are the first devices A8 and A12. The first communication information of the first device A5 is 5, while the first communication information of the first device A8 is 7, and the first communication information of the first device A12 is 6. The first device A8 has the largest first communication information within this range, which is greater than the first communication information of the first device A5. Therefore, the first device A8 is determined as the target first device, and the traversal continues. Traversing to the first device A8, the second communication information of the first device A8 is 3, so the range of the second communication information is 3. Within this range, there is the first device A12. The first communication information of the first device A12 is less than the first communication information of the first device A8. Therefore, the first device A8 is determined as the second device, and the traversal continues. Traversing to the first device A12, since the first device A12 is the last first device, the first device A12 is determined as the second device. After the traversal is complete, the second devices A3, A8, and A12 are determined, and the following is obtained: Figure 5B The distribution matrix is ​​shown. Based on... Figure 5B The distribution matrix shown indicates that terminal devices A1 and A2 are connected to the server via secondary device A3 as proxy devices, primary device A5 and terminal devices A4, A6, and A7 are connected to the server via secondary device A8 as proxy devices, and terminal devices A9, A10, and A11 are connected to the server via secondary device A12 as proxy devices.

[0058] In the above scheme, when determining at least one secondary device from at least one primary device, the primary devices are first traversed from low to high according to the second communication information representing their communication stability. During the traversal, the range of the second communication information is determined based on the second communication information of the current primary device and a preset step size. If there is a target primary device within this range whose first communication information is higher than that of the current primary device, the traversal continues to that target primary device. If there is no corresponding target primary device, the current primary device is determined as a secondary device. After the traversal is completed, at least one secondary device is obtained. By combining the preset step size to limit the range of the second communication information and filtering target primary devices based on the comparison of communication activity, it is ensured that the selection of secondary devices not only adapts to the hierarchical distribution of communication stability but also accurately identifies devices with better communication activity. This further optimizes the selection of core proxy nodes in the multi-level proxy communication architecture, effectively reduces the number of direct connections on the server side, and reduces server resource consumption and connection pressure. At the same time, it improves the carrying stability and data forwarding efficiency of the proxy architecture, reduces the risk of disconnection caused by network fluctuations or changes in device load, and significantly enhances the overall service reliability.

[0059] This application also provides a terminal device communication method in one example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the method further includes: Step 601: In response to detecting the disconnection of the primary device, a first communication request is sent to at least one terminal device that accessed through the primary device, so that the at least one terminal device disconnects its communication connection with the primary device and directly accesses the server.

[0060] If a first-level device is detected to have lost its connection with the server, a first communication request is sent to all terminal devices that access the server through the first device, enabling these terminal devices to disconnect from the first device and access the server directly instead of through the first device.

[0061] For example, such as Figure 5A In the distribution matrix shown, there are first devices A3, A5, A8, and A12. At this time, the server detects that the connection between first device A8 and the server is broken, and sends a first communication request to terminal devices A6 and A7. After receiving the first communication request, terminal devices A6 and A7 disconnect from first device A8 and establish a direct connection with the server.

[0062] Step 602: In response to detecting the disconnection of the secondary device, a second communication request is sent to at least one terminal device and at least one primary device that accessed through the secondary device, so that the at least one terminal device and the at least one primary device disconnect the communication connection with the second device and directly access the server.

[0063] If a secondary device is detected to have lost connection with the server, a second communication request is sent to all primary devices and all terminal devices that access the server through the secondary device, enabling these primary devices and terminal devices to disconnect from the secondary device and access the server directly instead of through the secondary device.

[0064] For example, such as Figure 5B In the distribution matrix shown, there are second devices A3, A8, and A12. At this time, the server detects that the connection between the second device A8 and the server is broken, and sends a second communication request to the first device A5 and terminal devices A4, A6, and A7. Upon receiving the first communication request, the first device A5 and terminal devices A4, A6, and A7 disconnect from the second device A8 and establish a direct connection with the server.

[0065] In the above scheme, when a disconnection is detected between a primary device and the server, a first communication request is sent to the terminal devices that accessed through that primary device, causing these terminal devices to disconnect from the primary device and directly access the server. When a disconnection is detected between a secondary device and the server, a second communication request is sent to both the terminal devices that accessed through the secondary device and the primary device, causing these terminal devices and the primary device to disconnect from the secondary device and directly access the server. This scheme can control the connection switching of terminal devices and lower-level proxy devices when a disconnection failure occurs at any level of proxy device, avoiding situations where the corresponding terminal devices cannot communicate with the server due to proxy device failure. This effectively improves the fault tolerance and fault resistance of the multi-level proxy communication architecture, further enhancing the overall service stability.

[0066] This application also provides a terminal device communication method in one example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the method further includes: Step 701: Collect communication data between the terminal device or the primary device and the server.

[0067] After a terminal device or primary device disconnects from its proxy device and directly connects to the server, the server continuously collects communication data from these terminal devices or primary devices.

[0068] Step 702: Update the target information based on the communication data.

[0069] The target information is updated based on the continuously collected communication data from these terminal devices or primary devices.

[0070] Step 703: Based on the updated target information, determine at least one primary device and / or at least one secondary device from the plurality of terminal devices.

[0071] The primary and / or secondary equipment are redefined based on the updated target information.

[0072] In the above scheme, after a terminal device or primary device disconnects from its proxy device and directly connects to the server, the server continuously collects communication data from these terminal devices or primary devices. Based on this communication data, the server updates the target information and re-determines the primary and / or secondary devices based on the updated target information. This allows for timely adaptation to changes in the communication architecture after a proxy device failure, ensuring that the target information remains consistent with the actual communication status of each device. It also ensures that the re-determined proxy devices at each level meet the performance requirements of the current communication scenario, effectively maintaining the rationality and optimization of the multi-level proxy communication architecture and further improving the robustness of the overall service.
