In other embodiments, custom and/or dedicated data communication techniques may also be used in place of, or in addition to, the data communication techniques described above.

Referring to fig. 4, a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a functional component in an application according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The control method of the functional components within the application program may be executed by each device in the system shown in fig. 3 described above. As shown in fig. 4, the method for controlling the functional components in the application program may include the steps of:

step 410, the blockchain server receives the starting forecast information and the intelligent contract sent by the developer terminal of the application program; the startup forecast information is for forecasting the startup time of the functional component.

In this embodiment, after the functional component of the application program is developed, the developer terminal uploads start advance notice information to the blockchain server, and an intelligent contract for controlling the functional component.

The functional components are program components for controlling the application program to start corresponding functions in a specified time period. For example, the application may be a game-like application, and the functional component may be a program component that controls time-limited activities in the game.

Wherein, the activities in the game refer to certain game objects which are played in the game at a limited time. For example, an activity in a game may refer to giving a player a mission or goal for a certain period of time, and when the player completes the mission or goal, the player may receive a certain award, such as a virtual item or a bonus of credit, etc.

Optionally, the start forecast information may include start and stop times corresponding to the functional components and information of function introduction, for example, the start forecast information may be an electronic poster or the like of a certain event in the game application.

Optionally, the start forecasting information and the intelligent contract may be uploaded independently, or the start forecasting information may be set in the intelligent contract.

In step 420, the blockchain server sends the start-up notice information to the application server corresponding to the application program, and the application server receives the start-up notice information.

The application server includes a logical server that provides logical support for the application program.

For example, when the application is a game-like application, the logic server may be a game server that provides logic support for the game (e.g., logic to control the operation of the game).

Optionally, the application server may further include other servers besides the logic server of the application program, for example, the application server may be a WEB server, and the WEB server may externally release the information related to the application degree. For example, the WEB server may be a server corresponding to an official website of a game application level.

In step 430, the application server sends the start-up notice information to the user terminal.

Optionally, when the application server provides a logic server for the application program and the application program is installed in the user terminal, the logic server may send the start-up notice information to the application program in the user terminal.

Optionally, when the application server is a WEB server, the WEB server may send the start announcement information to the user terminal through a WEB page, for example, to a browser in the user terminal.

In step 440, the user terminal displays the start-up notice information.

Optionally, when the application program in the user terminal receives the start-up notice information from the logic server, the start-up notice information may be displayed in an interface of the application program.

Optionally, when the user terminal receives the start-up notice information from the WEB server, the start-up notice information may be displayed in a WEB page.

Step 450, the blockchain server sends a start instruction to the logic server when the start time is reached by executing the intelligent contract; the logical server receives the launch indication.

Wherein, the start instruction is used for instructing the logic server to start the functional component.

In the embodiment of the application, the intelligent contract is automatically executed in the blockchain server, and correspondingly, when the blockchain server executes the intelligent contract, the start instruction is automatically sent to the logic server of the application program according to the execution logic of the intelligent contract when the start time is up, and correspondingly, the logic server receives the start instruction.

The logic server starts the functional component upon receiving a start indication, step 460.

After receiving the start instruction, the logic server of the application program may start a corresponding functional component in the application program.

Taking the above application as an example of a game-like application, please refer to fig. 5, which shows a schematic diagram of a control flow of an in-game activity according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the above process includes the following steps:

s51, the developer terminal of the game application records the activity content information and the intelligent contract to the blockchain server; the intelligent contract has the function of automatically starting the activities in the game after the date set by the activities arrives.

The activity content information corresponds to the start notice information in the embodiment shown in fig. 4 or fig. 5.

S52, the WEB server and the game server respectively obtain the activity content information from the blockchain server.

In this embodiment of the present application, when the WEB server or the game server receives a request for querying an activity preview from the user terminal, the activity content information may be acquired from the blockchain server.

Alternatively, the blockchain server may actively send the active content information to the WEB server and the game server.

And S53, the WEB server and/or the game server pushes the activity content information to the user terminal.

For example, the WEB server may push the activity content information to the user terminal through the WEB when receiving the user terminal to inquire about the activity preview through the WEB.

The game server can push the activity content information to the user terminal in the game when receiving the activity preview inquired by the user terminal in the game.

And after receiving the activity content information, the user terminal can display the activity content information.

S54, the blockchain server instructs the game server to start the event by the smart contract after the date set for the event arrives.

In summary, in the solution shown in the embodiment of the present application, the developer terminal uploads the start advance notice information corresponding to the functional component in the application program and the smart contract for starting the functional component to the blockchain server in the blockchain, the blockchain server issues the start advance notice information to the application server, and when the start time arrives, the logic server that automatically controls the application program starts the functional component by executing the smart contract.

In the scheme shown in fig. 4, the start-up notice information is distributed through the block chain, and the intelligent contract in the block chain automatically triggers the start-up of the functional component when the start-up time arrives, so as to ensure that the functional component notified by the start-up notice information can start up on time, and the user terminal side can also prompt the user for the reliability of the start-up notice information through a specific mark.

On the basis of the scheme shown in fig. 4, please refer to fig. 6, which shows a flowchart of a method for presenting start-up notice information according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method for presenting the start-up notice information may be performed by a user terminal, which may be the user terminal 340 in the system shown in fig. 3. As shown in fig. 6, the method for presenting the start-up notice information may include the steps of:

step 610, sending a notice information acquisition request to the application server.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the blockchain server receives the startup forecast information and the intelligent contract sent by the developer terminal of the application and sends the startup forecast information to the application server (the logic server and/or the WEB server of the application), when the user terminal accesses the startup forecast information in a game or accesses a WEB page containing the startup forecast information through a browser, the user terminal may send a forecast information acquisition request to the application server.

For example, when the user accesses the start-up notice information in the application, the user terminal transmits the notice information acquisition request to the logic server of the application through the application.

For another example, when the user accesses the start-up notice information in the WEB page, the user terminal sends the notice information acquisition request to the WEB server through the browser.

Step 620, receiving the start-up forecast information sent by the application server and the source information of the start-up forecast information.

Wherein the source information is used for indicating that the start forecast information is from a block chain; the trailer information is used to forecast the start time of a functional component in an application.

In the solution shown in the embodiment of the present application, the application server sends the start advance notice information to the user terminal, and informs the user terminal of the source of the start advance notice information through the source information.

Step 630, the start-up preview information and the source information are displayed.

Correspondingly, when the user terminal displays the starting forecasting information, the user terminal can also display the source information of the starting forecasting information so as to prompt the user whether the starting forecasting information is highly credible.

For example, if the source information indicates that the startup forecast information is from a block chain, the user terminal may further display a block chain authentication identifier when displaying the startup forecast information, which indicates that the startup forecast information is highly reliable information subjected to block chain authentication.

In summary, in the solution shown in the embodiment of the present application, after the blockchain server receives the start-up notice information and the intelligent contract sent by the developer terminal of the application program and sends the start-up notice information to the application server, the user terminal may obtain the start-up notice information from the application server, and the source information indicating that the start-up notice information is derived from the blockchain, and display the start-up notice information and the source information, thereby implementing the display of the start-up notice information authenticated by the blockchain to the user, and improving the reliability of the start-up notice information.

Referring to fig. 7, a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a functional component in an application according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The control method of the functional components within the application program may be executed by each device in the system shown in fig. 3 described above. As shown in fig. 7, the method for controlling the functional components in the application program may include the steps of:

step 710, the blockchain server receives the start forecasting information and the intelligent contract sent by the developer terminal of the application program; the startup forecast information is for forecasting the startup time of the functional component.

In one possible implementation, the start-up preview information and the smart contract may be uploaded independently.

For example, the start forecasting information and the intelligent contract are uploaded to the blockchain server according to a specified data format, and after receiving the start forecasting information and the intelligent contract, the blockchain server correspondingly stores the start forecasting information and the intelligent contract.

In another possible implementation manner, the start-up notice information may also be set in the intelligent contract.

For example, when the developer develops the intelligent contract, the developer writes the information content of the startup notice information into the intelligent contract, and when the startup notice information and the intelligent contract are uploaded, the intelligent contract in which the startup notice information is written is uploaded to the block chain server, and the block chain server stores the intelligent contract accordingly.

Step 720, the blockchain server sends the start-up notice information to the application server corresponding to the application program, and the application server receives the start-up notice information.

In this embodiment, the blockchain server may send the start notice information to the application server through an execution logic built in the blockchain server.

For example, when the developer terminal uploads the startup forecast information and the intelligent contract to the blockchain server, the developer terminal may specify an application program corresponding to the startup forecast information and the intelligent contract, and after receiving the startup forecast information and the intelligent contract uploaded according to a specified format, the blockchain server may send the startup forecast information to the corresponding application server according to the specified application program; or after receiving the request of the application server, sending the starting advance notice information to the corresponding application server.

Or, when uploading the start advance notice information and the intelligent contract to the blockchain server, the developer terminal may also directly specify the corresponding application server, and after receiving the start advance notice information and the intelligent contract uploaded according to the specified format, the blockchain server may send the start advance notice information to the corresponding application server; or after receiving the request of the application server, sending the starting advance notice information to the corresponding application server.

In another possible implementation manner, the blockchain server may further send the start prediction information to the application server by executing the intelligent contract. For example, when the intelligent contract is written with the startup forecast information in advance, the blockchain server may execute the intelligent contract after receiving the intelligent contract, and the intelligent contract may automatically send the startup forecast information to the corresponding application server when being executed; alternatively, the smart contract may be executed, and the start notice information may be sent to the corresponding application server after receiving a request from the application server.

In step 730, the application server sends the start-up notice information to the user terminal.

In the solution shown in the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the start advance notice information sent by the blockchain server, the application server may actively send the start advance notice information to the user terminal.

For example, when the application server provides a logic server for the application program and the application program is installed in the user terminal, and the user terminal receives an operation of displaying a specified page in the application program, the application server may send a request for obtaining startup preview information to the logic server, and after receiving the request, the logic server sends the startup preview information to the user terminal.

For another example, when the application server is a WEB server, if the user terminal accesses a WEB page corresponding to the WEB server, and the WEB page is a page for displaying the start advance notice information, the WEB server sends the start advance notice information to the user terminal.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when sending the start-up notice information, the blockchain server may further send source information of the start-up notice information to the user terminal, where the source information is used to indicate that the start-up notice information is derived from a blockchain.

For example, the application server may send the source information to the user terminal through a specified protocol, where the source information includes a correspondence between an identifier of the start-up announcement information and an identifier, and the identifier is used to indicate whether the start-up announcement information corresponding to the identifier is sourced from the block chain.

Alternatively, the source information may be sent together with the startup forecast information, for example, the application server may carry an identifier in a header of the startup forecast information, where the identifier indicates whether the startup forecast information corresponding to the identifier is sourced from the blockchain.

For example, if the identifier is "0001", it indicates that the source and the block chain of the startup forecast information corresponding to the identifier are present, and if the identifier is "0000", it indicates that the startup forecast information corresponding to the identifier is not the source and the block chain.

In step 740, the user terminal displays the start-up notice information.

Optionally, when the application server further sends source information indicating that the start-up preview information is from the block chain, the user terminal further displays the start-up preview information and the source information.

For example, please refer to fig. 8, which illustrates a schematic diagram of the presentation of the notice information according to the embodiment of the present application. In fig. 8, an interface 810 of an application program includes a virtual poster 811 for launching forecast information, and a source pattern 812 is displayed in a lower left corner of the virtual poster 811 in an overlapping manner, wherein the source pattern 812 indicates that the launch forecast information displayed by the virtual poster 811 comes from a block chain.

Step 750, the blockchain server sends a start instruction to the logic server when the start time is reached by executing the intelligent contract; the logical server receives the launch indication.

In this embodiment, the blockchain server may execute the intelligent contract, and send a start instruction to the logic server when the start time arrives according to the execution logic of the intelligent contract.

For example, in one possible implementation, after the smart contract is uploaded to the blockchain server, the local time of the blockchain server is acquired at the initial start, the time is counted from the acquired local time, and when the counted time reaches the start time, a start instruction is sent to the logic server.

In another possible implementation manner, after the intelligent contract is uploaded to the logic server, a listener is registered with the blockchain server during initial startup, the listener is configured to listen to an event that the startup time reaches, when the startup time reaches, the blockchain server sends a corresponding event to the intelligent contract, and after receiving the event, the intelligent contract may send a startup instruction to the logic server.

Optionally, when sending the start instruction to the logical server when the start time arrives through the intelligent contract, the blockchain server may send the start instruction including a first protocol message to the logical server when the start time arrives by executing the intelligent contract, where the first protocol message includes a first identifier that triggers the start of the functional component.

The protocol corresponding to the first protocol message may be a private protocol between the blockchain server and the logic server, and the logic server parses the message content in the first protocol message after receiving the first protocol message, and may confirm that the start instruction is received when the parsed message content includes the first identifier.

Alternatively, the Protocol corresponding to the first Protocol message may also be a general Protocol, such as a hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Protocol.

The logical server launches the functional component upon receiving the launch indication, step 760.

In this embodiment of the application, after receiving the start instruction (for example, parsing the first identifier), the logic server of the application may start a corresponding functional component in the application.

For example, taking the application program as a game-like application program as an example, and taking an example that the functional component corresponds to a certain time-limited activity in the game as an example, after the logic server receives the first protocol message sent by the blockchain server and parses the first identifier from the first protocol message, the activity in the game may be started, so that the user in the game experiences the activity.

Step 770, the blockchain server sends a closing indication to the logic server when the closing time of the functional component is reached by executing the intelligent contract; accordingly, the logical server receives the shutdown indication.

Wherein the shutdown indication is used to instruct the logical server to shutdown the functional component.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the function corresponding to the functional component is a time-limited function and the function has an explicit end time (i.e., the shutdown time), the blockchain server may send a shutdown instruction to the logical server when the shutdown time arrives.

Optionally, when the shutdown instruction is sent to the logical server when the shutdown time of the functional component arrives by executing the intelligent contract, the blockchain server may send the shutdown instruction including a second protocol message to the logical server when the shutdown time arrives by executing the intelligent contract, where the second protocol message includes a second identifier that triggers shutdown of the functional component.

The sending of the close indication is similar to the sending of the start indication, and is not described herein again.

In step 780, the logic server shuts down the functional component when receiving the shutdown indication.

In this embodiment, after receiving the shutdown instruction, the logic server may shut down the functional component.

For example, taking the application program as a game application program as an example, and taking the case that the functional component corresponds to a certain time-limited activity in the game as an example, after the logic server receives the second protocol message sent by the blockchain server and parses the second identifier from the second protocol message, the activity in the game can be closed.

Taking the above application as an example of a game-like application, please refer to fig. 9, which shows a schematic diagram of a control flow of an in-game activity provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 9, the above process includes the following steps:

s91, the developer terminal of the game application records the activity content information and the intelligent contract to the blockchain server; the intelligent contract has the function of automatically starting the activities in the game after the date set by the activities arrives.

S92, the WEB server and the game server respectively obtain the activity content information from the blockchain server.

And S93, the WEB server and/or the game server pushes the activity content information to the user terminal.

When the WEB server and/or the game server pushes the activity content information to the user terminal, source information is also sent to the user terminal so as to indicate the source and the block chain of the activity content information of the user terminal.

Optionally, the user terminal may display the source information (i.e., a tag for blockchain authentication) on the active content information in addition to the active content information.

S94, the blockchain server instructs the game server to start the event by the smart contract after the start date set for the event has arrived.

S95, when the end date of the event is reached, the blockchain server instructs the game server to end the event by an intelligent contract.

According to the scheme shown in the embodiment of the application, the active logic is changed from the way that a development group manually opens a switch into the way that the block chain code automatically runs, and errors possibly caused by manual maintenance are saved. In addition, the scheme shown in the embodiment of the application also enhances the cognition of the new player on the activity, facilitates the correct establishment of the expectation of the new player on the future and improves the retention probability of the new player. Trust in activity stability is also enhanced for old players.

The scheme shown in the embodiment of the application supports a large number of activity configurations in the technical aspect, can facilitate the new player to quickly know all the content of the future activities, is beneficial to establishing a correct expectation for the new player, and improves long-term retention. Meanwhile, the function of automatic execution of the block chain effectively prevents the development group from modifying or canceling the activity content, and in turn forces the development group to have more careful thinking and design on future activities.
