Abstract

A message processing method, device, and system are provided in the embodiments of the present invention. The method comprises: receiving service messages and identifying the protocol type of the service messages; performing protocol adaptation according to the protocol type; and reconstructing the content of the service messages after protocol adaptation according to the corresponding content reconstructing policies and sending the service messages after content reconstructing. The present invention implements information embedment into the content over different protocols without proxy server settings.

Claims

1. A message processing method, comprising:

receiving a service message and identifying a protocol type of the service message;

sending the service message to a protocol adaptation module according to the protocol type; and

reconstructing the service message processed by the protocol adaptation module according to a corresponding content reconstructing policy, and sending the reconstructed service message.

2. The message processing method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the service message comprises:

translating a destination address of the service message into a local address, and record a mapping between the destination address and the local address.

3. The message processing method of claim 1, wherein the identifying the protocol type of the service message comprises:

identifying the protocol type of the service message through the Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology.

4. The message processing method of claim 1, wherein before the reconstructing the service message processed by the protocol adaptation module according to the corresponding content reconstructing policy, the method further comprises:

determining whether to reconstruct the content of the service message;

obtaining the corresponding content reconstructing policy of the service message, if the content reconstruction is required.

5. The message processing method of claim 4, wherein the content reconstructing policy is preset according to the protocol type or service message type.

6. The message processing method of claim 1, wherein the reconstructing the service message comprises:

embedding information into the service message.

7. The message processing method of claim 2, where the sending the reconstructed service message comprises:

recovering the destination address of the service message according to the mapping between the destination address and the local address; and

sending the service message after the content reconstruction to the destination address.

8. A message processing device, comprising:

a protocol identification module, a content reconstructing module, and several protocol adaptation modules;

wherein,

the protocol identification module is adapted to identify the protocol type of a service message;

the protocol adaptation module is adapted to process the service message based on the protocol identified by the protocol identification module;

the content reconstructing module is adapted to reconstruct the content of the service message processed by the protocol adaptation module according to the corresponding content reconstructing policy.

9. The message processing device of claim 8, further comprising:

an address translation module, adapted to receive the service message, translate a destination address of the service message into a local address in order to send the service message to the protocol identification module and record a mapping between the destination address and the local address, and recover the destination address of the reconstructed service message according to the mapping in order to send the reconstructed service message to the destination address of the service message.

10. The message processing device of claim 9, wherein the address translation module comprises:

a message receiving sub-module, adapted to receive the service message;

an address translation sub-module, adapted to translate the destination addresses of the service message received by the message receiving sub-module into the local address;

an address recovery sub-module, adapted to recover the destination address of the reconstructed service message; and

a message sending sub-module, adapted to send the reconstructed service message to the destination address recovered by the address recovery sub-module.

11. The message processing device of claim 8, further comprising:

a content reconstruction judgment module, adapted to determine whether to reconstruct content of the service message processed by the protocol adaptation module and send the service message that needs the content reconstruction to the content reconstructing module.

12. The message processing device of claim 8, wherein the content reconstructing module comprises:

a policy obtaining sub-module, adapted to obtain a corresponding content reconstructing policy of the service message; and

a content reconstructing sub-module, adapted to reconstruct the content of the service message according to the corresponding content reconstructing policy of the service message.

13. The message processing device of claim 8, further comprising:

a policy storage module, adapted to store the corresponding content reconstructing policy of the service message.

14. A message processing system comprising a message processing device and a server, wherein

the message processing device is adapted to receive service messages from terminals or the server, identify the protocol type of service messages, send service messages to the corresponding protocol adaptation modules, reconstruct the content of processed service messages according to the corresponding content reconstructing policy, and send service messages with reconstructed content to the destination servers or terminals;

and

the server is adapted to receive service messages processed by the message processing device and send service messages to the message processing devices.
