The method for controlling the edge computing device can be applied to a cloud server (such as the cloud server 102 shown in fig. 1), and comprises the following steps:
In this embodiment, an execution subject (e.g., the cloud server 102 shown in fig. 1) of the method for controlling the edge computing device may expose a control interface for controlling the edge computing device through a communication-connected terminal device (e.g., the terminal device 101 shown in fig. 1). As an example, a user may view a control interface for controlling an edge computing device through a browser application installed by the terminal device. As an example, the control interface described above may display various information related to the edge computing device, such as configuration information, rule information, function information of the edge computing device, and information of the connected edge computing device associated device. By way of example, the control interface may be in the form of a web page. At this time, the execution body may transmit the control interface in the form of a web page to the terminal device. And the display is automatically displayed by the terminal equipment, and the display command sent by the main body can also be executed so as to control the terminal equipment to display. It is understood that the control interface may be configured as one interface or may be configured as a plurality of interfaces. For example, when the displayed content is large, a plurality of interfaces may be set, and in this case, the user may enter another interface by clicking a button on the currently displayed interface. It should be noted that the specific display form of the information on the control interface may be set according to actual needs, and is not limited herein.
In practice, the user may refer to a manager having authority to control the edge computing device, for example, the executing entity may present an authority verification interface to the user through the terminal device before step 201, where the authority verification interface may be used to collect authentication information (e.g., a user name, a password, etc.) of the user. And then, the execution subject can verify the authentication information collected by the right verification interface so as to judge whether the user has the right to control the edge computing equipment.
In this embodiment, the execution main body may receive control information sent by the terminal device. Wherein the control information is input via the control interface. In practice, the user may input control information through a control interface displayed by the terminal device. The control information may be control information for an edge computing device. For example, updates to configuration data, programs, rules, etc. on the edge computing device are controlled, such as updates to control information forwarding rules. The control information may also be control information for an edge computing device associated device (e.g., the edge computing device associated device 104 shown in fig. 1), for example, control access, deletion, and the like of the edge computing device associated device.
Generally, one edge computing device establishes communication connection with a plurality of edge computing device associated devices, and performs processing such as calculation, analysis processing, storage and the like on information uploaded by the plurality of edge computing device associated devices. Through the control interface displayed by the browser of the terminal device, the user can view information of a plurality of edge computing device associated devices connected to each edge computing device, for example, device names, descriptions, attributes, and the like of the respective edge computing device associated devices.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the control information may include at least one of: the method comprises the steps of configuration updating information of the edge computing equipment, control information of the edge computing equipment related equipment, rule control information of the edge computing equipment and function control information of the edge computing equipment.
The edge computing device configuration update information may refer to information for updating the edge computing device configuration, and the edge computing device configuration update information may include data for configuration update. In practice, when a user wants to update some configurations or programs on the edge computing device, the configurations or programs to be updated may be determined in the control interface displayed on the terminal device, and data for configuration update, such as configuration files, packages, and the like, may be uploaded.
The above-mentioned edge computing device associated device control information may refer to information for controlling the edge computing device associated device. In practice, when a user wants to control (e.g., control disconnection of) a certain edge computing device associated device communicatively connected to the edge computing device, the edge computing device associated device may be determined in a control interface displayed on the terminal device and control information for the edge computing device associated device may be input.
The edge computing device rule control information may refer to information for controlling a rule executed on the edge computing device, for example, modification information for the rule executed on the edge computing device.
The above-mentioned edge computing device function control information may refer to information for controlling a computing function that performs a computation on the edge computing device, for example, modification information of the computing function that performs a computation on the edge computing device.
And step 203, sending a control instruction to the edge computing device according to the control information so as to control the edge computing device to update data.
In this embodiment, the execution body may send a control instruction to the edge computing device according to the control information received in step 202, so as to control the edge computing device to perform data updating. For example, when the control information is information for controlling update of configuration data on the edge computing device, the execution main body may send a control instruction for configuration update to the edge computing device according to the control information, so as to control the edge computing device to perform configuration data update.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the control information may include edge computing device configuration update information, where the edge computing device update information may include data for configuration update. The step 203 may be specifically performed by the following steps:
first, a configuration update instruction is generated according to the configuration update information of the edge computing device.
Here, the execution subject may generate the configuration update instruction according to the edge computing device configuration update information. The configuration update command may include a local storage address of the configuration update data.
And then, sending a configuration updating instruction to the edge computing equipment through the first data channel so that the edge computing equipment can acquire data for configuration updating through the second data channel according to the configuration updating instruction.
Here, the execution body may send a configuration update instruction to the edge computing device through a first data channel. After receiving the configuration update instruction, the edge computing device may actively pull the configuration update data from the execution main body through the second data channel according to the storage address included in the configuration update instruction, and update the configuration by using the configuration update data. The first data channel may be constructed based on an MQTT (Message Queuing telemetry transport) Protocol, and the second data channel may be constructed based on an https (hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket layer) Protocol. MQTT is an instant messaging protocol, has the characteristics of small transmission, low overhead, minimized protocol exchange and the like, and can reduce network flow. In practice, MQTT can also be merged with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)/TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption, so as to ensure the Security of information transmission. HTTPS is an HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) channel that targets security, and is simply a secure version of HTTP, and can ensure the security of information transmission. In contrast, a data channel established based on HTTPS is more suitable for pulling large data, but the establishment cost is higher.
In the implementation mode, the configuration updating instruction is sent through the first data channel, and the configuration updating data is pulled through the second data channel, so that different transmission protocols can be adopted according to different data types, and the network overhead is reduced.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the method for controlling an edge computing device may further include the following steps not shown in fig. 2:
and step 204, receiving the state information reported by the edge computing equipment.
Here, the execution body may receive, in real time, the status information reported by the edge computing device. The state information may be used to characterize the state of the edge computing device including, but not limited to, online state, offline state, data update state, and the like.
Step 205, sending the state information to the terminal device for the terminal device to present.
Here, the executing entity may send the status information received in step 204 to the terminal device for the terminal device to present. Through the implementation mode, the user can monitor the state of the edge computing equipment remotely and in real time through the terminal equipment, so that the monitoring of the edge computing equipment by the user is more convenient.
With continued reference to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario for a method for controlling an edge computing device according to the present embodiment. In the application scenario of fig. 3, a user first initiates a control interface browse request for controlling the edge computing device 303 through the browser of the terminal device 301. After receiving the control interface browsing request, the cloud server 302 may display a control interface for controlling the edge computing device 303 through the terminal device 301. Then, the user may input control information on the control interface, and then the cloud server 302 may receive the control information sent by the terminal device 301. Finally, the cloud server 302 may send a control instruction to the edge computing device 303 according to the control information, so as to control the edge computing device 303 to perform data update.
The method for controlling the edge computing device provided by the above embodiment of the application realizes remote control of the edge computing device, and reduces labor cost for controlling the edge computing device.
With further reference to FIG. 4, a flow 400 of one embodiment of a method for updating data is shown. The process 400 of the method for updating data, which may be applied to an edge computing device, includes the steps of:
In this embodiment, an execution subject (e.g., the edge computing device 103 shown in fig. 1) of the method for updating data may receive a configuration update instruction sent by a cloud server (e.g., the cloud server 102 shown in fig. 1) through a first data channel. The configuration updating instruction comprises a storage address of the data for configuration updating at the cloud server. The first data channel can be constructed based on MQTT protocol.
And 402, acquiring data for configuration updating from the cloud server through a second data channel according to the storage address included in the configuration updating instruction.
In this embodiment, the execution main body may obtain the data for configuration update from the cloud server through the second data channel according to the storage address included in the configuration update instruction. The second data channel may be built based on the HTTPS protocol.
In step 403, the configuration update is performed using the configuration update data.
In this embodiment, the execution agent may perform configuration update using the data for configuration update acquired in step 402.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the method for updating data may further include the following steps not shown in fig. 4:
step 404, detecting whether the configuration updating data is abnormal in the operation process.
Here, the execution main body may detect whether an abnormality occurs in the configuration update data during operation in real time. For example, after performing configuration update according to the configuration update data, it is detected that information processing cannot be performed or an error prompt occurs during the information processing, and at this time, it may be determined whether or not an abnormality occurs in the data for detecting configuration update during the operation.
Step 405, in response to detecting that the configuration updating data is abnormal in the operation process, processing the configuration updating data by using a rollback mechanism.
Here, in response to detecting that the configuration update data is abnormal during the operation, the execution main body may process the configuration update data by using a rollback mechanism. Here, Rollback (Rollback) refers to an action of a program or data processing error to restore the program or data to the last correct state. The implementation mode ensures the normal operation of the edge computing equipment when the configuration updating of the edge computing equipment is abnormal.
