Description

Resource scheduling method and device

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of resource scheduling technologies, and in particular, to a resource scheduling method and apparatus.

Background

In a resource scheduling system, two roles of a resource demander and a resource provider exist. The resource demander generally has actual use requirements on the resource, but does not own enough resource, while the resource provider has a certain amount of resource and can provide the resource externally. When the resource demand side needs the resource, the resource demand side needs to acquire the resource from the resource generation side, and further performs corresponding processing by using the acquired resource.

In the resource scheduling process, after determining the resource demand of the resource demand side, the resource provider sends the corresponding quantity of resources to the resource demand side. In practical applications, however, the resource provider may need to generate the resource by itself, or even call the resource from another place, in order to respond to the resource demander, and all the above operations may result in a response being not timely. Therefore, when the resource demanding party has a high urgency to demand for the resource, the existing resource scheduling scheme cannot meet the use demand of the resource demanding party for the resource, and further has a negative impact on the resource demanding party.

Detailed Description

In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present specification will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present specification, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present specification, and not all the embodiments. All other embodiments that can be derived by one of ordinary skill in the art from the embodiments given herein are intended to be within the scope of protection.

The terminology used in the description herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the description.

It should also be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various information, these information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one type of information from another. For example, the first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as first information, without departing from the scope of the present specification. The word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at … …" or "when … …" or "in response to a determination", depending on the context.

In the resource scheduling process, after determining the resource demand of the resource demand side, the resource provider sends the corresponding quantity of resources to the resource demand side. However, in practical applications, a resource provider may need to generate resources by itself, or even call resources from other places, to respond to a resource demander, and the above operations may result in a response being not timely, and further, when the resource demander has a high urgency to the demand of the resource, the existing resource scheduling scheme cannot meet the use demand of the resource demander for the resource, and further, a negative effect may be generated on the resource demander.

The resource provider often generates resources in a mode of periodically generating resources or sequentially generating resources, and allocates the resources to the resource demander for use after the resources are generated.

The resource is generated periodically, which means that a resource provider has a preset resource generation period, and when the period is reached, the resource provider generates a corresponding amount of resources according to the received resource acquisition request. For example, when the generation cycle is reached, the resource provider may query all resource acquisition requests received from the current cycle to the previous cycle, and determine the number of resources that need to be generated in the cycle according to the number of resources required in the resource acquisition requests. And executing the generation action after determining the quantity of the resources which need to be generated in the period.

And generating resources in sequence, namely generating resources according to a first-come-first-processed principle by using the resource acquisition request. For example, if the resource acquisition request receives the resource acquisition request a first and then receives the resource acquisition request B, the resource acquisition request a is processed first, that is, the amount of resources required by the resource acquisition request a is generated first, and after the generation is completed, the amount of resources required by the resource acquisition request B is generated.

However, neither generation method can completely satisfy the urgency of resource demand of the resource demand side.

For example, the resource provider generates the resource in a periodic generation manner, and if the resource demander currently needs the resource and the resource provider has just passed a generation cycle, the resource demander can generate the resource currently needed by the resource demander only when the next generation cycle arrives.

For another example, if the resource provider generates the resource in a sequential manner, and a currently needs the resource from multiple resource requesters A, B, C, a is before B and C is after B. The resource provider needs to consume a lot of time to generate the resources required by a, and the end result may be: the resource provider satisfies the needs of resource demander A, but does not satisfy the urgency of B and C for the resource needs.

Therefore, the existing resource scheduling scheme can not completely meet the requirements of resource demanders.

In view of the above technical problems, the resource scheduling scheme provided in this specification is: the resource provider stores a certain amount of resources in advance, and the resources stored by the resource provider can be used when the resource demander has a demand, so that the time interval from the generation of the demand to the acquisition of the resources by the resource demander is reduced, and the use demand of the resource demander is met. Meanwhile, since the resources stored by the resource provider are gradually reduced due to the allocation to each resource demander, in order to maintain the number of the resources of the resource provider so as to continuously meet the requirements of the resource demander, the resource provider correspondingly generates the resources and stores the resources locally so as to maintain the number of the locally stored resources.

According to the configuration of the practical application scenario, the embodiments of the present specification further provide two resource scheduling schemes, which are respectively described below:

the first scheme is as follows:

for convenience of description, in this specification, it is specified that in a specific resource scheduling transaction, there exist one resource providing system and at least one resource demanding party. The resource providing system is responsible for providing the required resources for the resource demander so as to meet the use requirements of the resource demander. As shown in fig. 1, the resource providing system at least includes: the system comprises a generation platform with a resource generation function and a scheduling platform with a resource distribution function to each resource demand party.

According to the above description, in order to meet the usage urgency of the resource demander for the resource, a certain amount of resources may be pre-stored in the scheduling platform for load distribution of the resource, where the amount may be determined according to the demand of each resource demander, for example, the maximum value that the resource providing system needs to provide may be determined according to the historical demand record of each resource demander, for example, the maximum amount of resources that the resource providing system needs to provide to each resource demander at a certain time point may be determined according to the historical demand record, and is X, then, in order to enable the stored resources to meet the demand of each resource demander as much as possible, the amount of resources of X may be pre-stored locally at the resource provider. Certainly, the quantity may also be pre-stored as 90% of the quantity X or other proportions to meet the requirement of the resource demander approximately, and how to determine the quantity of the pre-stored resources in the scheduling platform is not limited in this specification as long as the requirement of the resource demander can be met with a high probability.

On the basis of the above description, the present specification provides a resource scheduling method, which is shown in fig. 2 and may include the following steps:

s201, after a resource providing system determines a resource requirement, under the condition that the requirement meets a preset rule, resource scheduling task information is generated aiming at the resource requirement, and the task information is provided for a scheduling platform and a generating platform; the task information at least comprises: the identification of the resource demander and the required resource quantity;

the resource providing system may determine that there is a primary resource demand after receiving a request sent by a resource demanding party, or may determine that there is a primary resource demand after receiving an instruction sent by another resource party.

After determining the primary resource requirement, the resource providing system further determines whether the requirement meets a preset rule, and determines that the current resource requirement needs to be processed in the following manner if the requirement meets the preset rule, the resource providing system generates resource scheduling task information aiming at the current requirement, and the task information may include an identifier of a resource demander and a quantity of required resources corresponding to the requirement. And after the resource scheduling task information is generated, the generated resource scheduling task information is simultaneously sent to the scheduling platform and the generation platform. And then the scheduling platform and the generating platform can perform corresponding operation according to the information when receiving the scheduling task information.

According to the above, the generation platform often generates resources in a manner of periodically generating resources or sequentially generating resources, and allocates the resources to the resource demander for use after the resources are generated.

Therefore, the resource providing system needs to determine whether the urgency of the resource demand side for the resource demand can be met by adopting a mode that the generation platform generates the resource first and then sends the generated resource to the resource demand side. In the case of satisfaction, resources are provided to the resource demander in this way. And under the condition that the resource cannot be met, a mode of directly acquiring the locally stored resource and sending the locally stored resource to the resource demand side is adopted.

After the resource providing system determines the resource requirement once, it needs to first judge whether the resource requirement meets the preset rule, and only if the preset rule is met, the method of obtaining the local storage resource and sending the local storage resource to the resource requiring party is adopted.

The preset rule may be that the time length of the resource required by the generation platform to generate the resource demand is longer than a preset time length.

When the time length is longer than the preset time length, the method of generating and sending the resource demand side to the resource demand side firstly is explained to provide the resource for the resource demand side, and the urgency of the resource demand side to the resource demand cannot be met, so that the method cannot be adopted to provide the resource for the resource demand side.

The preset time length can be set according to actual requirements.

The method for predicting the time length of the resource required by the generation platform to generate the resource demand can be determined according to the mode of generating the resource by the generation platform:

if the mode of generating the resources by the generation platform is to periodically generate the resources, the time length of generating the resources required by the resource demand by the generation platform is predicted according to the period of generating the resources by the generation platform. For example, a difference value between the time of the next generation cycle and the current time is determined, and the determined difference value is a time length of the resource required by the generation platform to generate the resource demand.

If the resource generation mode of the generation platform is to generate resources in sequence, the time length of generating the resources required by the resource demand by the generation platform can be predicted according to the quantity of the resources to be generated corresponding to all the demands arranged before the resource demand and the efficiency of generating the resources by the generation platform.

For example, the resource requirement is a resource requirement C, before the requirement is processed, the generation platform needs to generate requirements corresponding to the resource requirement a and the resource requirement B, determine that the resource requirement a and the resource requirement B correspond to Y number of resources, and if the processing efficiency of the generation platform is Z, it may be determined that the generation platform needs to wait for Y/Z of the resources required by the resource requirement C. If Y/Z is larger than the preset threshold value, the preset rule is met.

The steps performed in the case where the preset rule is not satisfied may refer to the schemes described below, which will not be described in detail.

And under the condition of meeting the preset threshold value, the resource providing system provides resource scheduling task information for the scheduling platform and the generating platform. The resource providing system may provide the resource scheduling task information to the scheduling platform and the generating platform at the same time, or may provide the resource scheduling task information to the scheduling platform first and forward the task information to the generating platform by the scheduling system, or may provide the resource scheduling task information to the generating platform first and forward the task information to the scheduling platform by the generating platform. That is, the execution sequence of S201a and S201b in fig. 2 is not limited.

Because the resource providing system generates a piece of resource scheduling task information for each resource requirement, the resource providing system can further identify each piece of resource scheduling task information. For example, the generated resource scheduling task information is identified as resource scheduling task information a.

S202, the scheduling platform acquires corresponding resource quantity from the locally stored resources according to the received task information and sends the acquired resources to a resource demand side; updating the received task information into a sent state according to the sending behavior;

by combining the above example of S201, after receiving the task information a provided by the resource providing system, the scheduling platform may obtain the corresponding resource quantity from the local according to the resource quantity required in the task information a, and send the obtained resource to the resource requiring party according to the identifier of the resource requiring party. After the information is sent to the resource demander, the scheduling platform locally updates the piece of task information a to a sent state, which is used for identifying that the corresponding resource is obtained locally according to the resource scheduling task information a and sent to the corresponding resource demander.

S203, the generating platform generates corresponding resource quantity according to the received task information, associates the generated resource with the received task information and then sends the associated resource quantity to the scheduling platform;

with reference to the above example, after receiving the task information a provided by the resource providing system, the generation platform may generate a corresponding resource amount according to the resource demand amount in the task information a, associate the generated resource with the received task information a, and then send the resource to the scheduling platform.

And S204, after receiving the resources sent by the generation platform, the scheduling platform inquires corresponding task information stored locally according to the associated task information and updates the inquired task information into a supplemented state.

With reference to the above example, after receiving the resource sent by the generation platform, the scheduling platform determines that the associated task information is a, queries the locally stored task information a, and updates the state of the queried task information a to the supplemented state.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the specification, a certain amount of resources are stored in the scheduling platform in advance, and the resources stored by the scheduling platform can be used when the resource demander has a demand, so that the time interval from the generation of the demand to the acquisition of the resources by the resource demander is reduced, and the use demand of the resource demander is met. Meanwhile, the generation platform generates corresponding resources and sends the resources to the scheduling platform to maintain the number of the resources stored locally by the scheduling platform, so that the problem that the resources stored by the scheduling platform are gradually reduced due to the fact that the resources are distributed to all resource demanders for use is avoided, and further the continuous service for all the resource demanders can be guaranteed.

It should be noted that, although the above process is described as a scheme according to a scheduling flow generated by a resource requirement, the processes of the scheduling platform and the generating platform in actual runtime are independent from each other, that is, the scheduling platform does not affect the generation of the resource by the generating platform, and vice versa.

In the above S201, if it is determined that the prediction result is not greater than the preset duration threshold, that is, the requirement does not satisfy the preset rule, it indicates that the urgency of the resource requiring party to the resource requirement can be satisfied by generating and then sending the prediction result to the requiring party.

Therefore, under the condition that the prediction result is not larger than the preset time threshold, the resource providing system generates resource scheduling task information aiming at the current resource requirement and provides the task information to the generating platform;

the scheduling platform may forward the received resource to the resource demander according to the demander identifier in the task information.

In this embodiment, when it is determined that the resource does not satisfy the preset rule, the resource requirement of the demander is satisfied by generating the corresponding resource and sending the resource to the resource demander, that is, when the requirement of the resource demander can be fully satisfied, a method of obtaining the resource from the locally stored resource for replenishment is not necessary. Thus saving processing resources of the scheduling platform.

In addition, in this embodiment, under the condition that it is determined that the requirement does not satisfy the preset rule, the generation platform may also directly send the generated resource to the resource demander, so as to further save the processing resource of the scheduling platform, and improve the efficiency of the resource demander for acquiring the resource.

In order to more clearly illustrate a resource scheduling method shown in fig. 2 of this specification, the following describes a method executed by a scheduling platform from a single-side perspective:

the scheduling platform locally stores a preset number of resources, and for the scheduling platform, tasks to be executed are mainly as follows:

according to task information provided by a resource providing system, acquiring corresponding resource quantity from locally stored resources, and sending the acquired resources to a resource demand side; the task information at least comprises: the identification of the resource demander and the required resource quantity;

updating the received task information into a sent state according to the sending behavior;

after receiving the resources sent by the generation platform, inquiring corresponding task information stored locally according to the associated task information, and updating the inquired task information into a supplemented state; the resource sent by the generation platform is the corresponding resource generated by the generation platform according to the task information provided by the resource providing system.

The following describes a first embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to some specific application scenarios:

specific example 1:

in the resource scheduling system shown in fig. 2, for example, in AM8:00, the resource providing system determines the primary resource requirement, the resource demander is a, and the demand amount is X. The generation platform in the resource providing system adopts the periodic generation resources, and the following generation period is AM8: 10. the resource demander a of the current resource demand is very urgent to demand the resource, and needs to be in AM8: the resource is acquired before 05. The method of generating and sending the resource request to the resource demander first cannot meet the requirement of the resource demander on the resource.

Therefore, the resource providing platform generates the resource scheduling task information a according to the current resource requirement, and provides the task information to the scheduling platform and the generating platform.

After receiving the resource scheduling task information A, the scheduling platform can directly obtain X number of resources from the local and send the resources to the resource demander A, so that the resource demander A can quickly obtain the resources, and the urgency of the resource demander to the resource requirements is met. And simultaneously, locally recording the resource scheduling task information A, and updating the state of the resource scheduling task information A into a sent state.

Further, after receiving the resource scheduling task information a, the generation platform, at the arrival period AM8: and 10, generating the resources with the quantity of X according to the resource scheduling task information A, associating the resources with the quantity of X with the resource scheduling task information A, and then sending the resources to the scheduling platform.

After acquiring the X number of resources, the scheduling platform stores the X number of resources locally so as to maintain a certain number of locally stored resources, and updates the state of the resource scheduling task information a to a supplemented state.

Specific example 2:

the embodiment of the specification can also be applied to financial resource scenes, and in practical application, merchants can cooperate with payment mechanisms to open the function that users can swipe cards for consumption in shops of the merchants.

Taking the buyer card swiping consumption scene as an example: after the buyer consumes the card in the merchant shop, the settlement platform (generation platform) will settle in one period, usually in the next working day of the current day of the user consumption, and the funds consumed by the user can be sent to the account of the merchant after the settlement is completed. The merchant is used as a resource demand party, the time for obtaining funds is longer, and the fund pressure on the merchant is larger.

As shown in fig. 3, the money providing system may store a certain money in advance at a payment platform (a dispatching platform). After the user has spent swiping the card, the funds-providing system may further determine whether pre-stored funds need to be obtained from the payment platform. For example, the time of the user consumption is AM8:00, the consumption amount is 2 ten thousand yuan, the merchant account is B, the settlement platform settles the consumption amount the time the next day AM00:00, namely, the merchant can receive the funds consumed by the user the next day AM00: 00. However, for the merchant, if the funds consumed by the user cannot be received in time, the merchant faces a great fund pressure.

Accordingly, the preset rule may be set such that the difference between the settlement time and the time when the user consumes funds exceeds 3 hours. The following funding scheme is performed if a preset rule is satisfied.

The fund providing system can be a payment mechanism background server and sends fund scheduling task information consumed by a user to a settlement platform and a payment platform, the fund scheduling task information comprises consumption amount and account information of a merchant, the payment platform obtains corresponding amount of money, namely 2 ten thousand yuan from locally pre-stored fund, the obtained 2 ten thousand yuan is sent to the merchant according to the account information of the merchant, the merchant can quickly receive the amount of money consumed by the user, and meanwhile the payment platform locally records the expenditure record.

When the settlement period is reached, the settlement platform sends the 2 ten thousand yuan to the payment platform, and the payment platform stores the acquired 2 ten thousand yuan in a local account and eliminates the recorded expense records.

Certainly, when the preset rule is determined not to be met, for example, the time consumed by the user is PM10:00, and the time of settlement by the computing platform is AM00:00 of the next day, the difference between the two is not more than 3 hours, and at this time, the settled funds can be sent to the account of the merchant directly after the settlement is completed.

Scheme II:

as shown in fig. 4, the present specification also proposes another resource providing system, which includes a scheduling platform, a generating platform, and a storage platform. The resource for responding to the resource requirement is stored in the storage platform, and the storage function and the resource distribution function of the resource providing system are decoupled in the system, namely the resource for responding to the resource requirement is not stored in the dispatching platform but is stored in the storage platform, so that the two platforms only execute the functions of the two platforms respectively, and the storage and processing resources of the dispatching platform are liberated.

According to the system, the present specification further proposes another resource scheduling method, and referring to fig. 5, the method may include the following steps:

s501, after a resource providing system determines a resource requirement, and under the condition that the requirement is determined to meet a preset rule, resource scheduling task information is generated aiming at the resource requirement, and the task information is provided for a scheduling platform and a generating platform;

in this step, the step in S201 may be referred to for determining the manner and the overall process in which the requirement satisfies the preset rule, and is not described herein again. In addition, in the case that it is determined that the requirement does not satisfy the preset rule, the steps executed may refer to the following contents, which are not described in detail herein.

S502, the scheduling platform generates a resource allocation instruction according to the received task information and sends the resource allocation instruction to the storage platform, wherein the resource allocation instruction at least comprises the following steps: the identification of the resource demander and the required resource quantity;

and the scheduling platform receives the task information, for example, receives the task information B, generates a resource allocation indication B according to the identifier of the resource demander in the task information B and the required resource quantity, and sends the resource allocation indication B to the storage platform.

S503, the storage platform acquires the corresponding resource quantity from the locally stored resources under the condition that the resource demand side is determined to have the right of directly acquiring the resources from the local according to the received resource allocation indication, and sends the acquired resources to the resource demand side; updating the received resource allocation indication into a sent state according to the sending behavior;

with reference to the above example, after receiving the resource indication B, the storage platform first determines whether the resource demander has the right to directly obtain the resource from local. If the resource allocation indication B has the authority, the corresponding quantity can be directly obtained locally according to the quantity of the resources in the indication B, the obtained resources are directly sent to the resource demander according to the resource demander identification in the indication B, and the resource allocation indication B is updated to be a sent state after the sending is finished.

In this step, after receiving the resource allocation indication B, the storage platform determines whether the resource demander has the right to directly obtain the resource from the local, which may be determined according to the identifier of the resource demander in the resource allocation indication B. For example, the storage platform may locally store an identifier library of a resource demander with an authority, further determine whether the identifier of the resource demander in the received resource allocation indication B is in the locally stored identifier library, determine that the resource demander in the resource allocation indication B has the authority if the identifier exists, and indicate that the resource demander does not have the authority if the identifier does not exist.

Of course, the scheduling platform may also perform judgment on whether the resource demander in the indication B has the right, generate a right identifier according to the judgment result, identify whether the resource demander has the right through the right identifier, add the right identifier to the resource allocation indication B, and send the resource allocation indication B to the storage platform, and after receiving the indication B, the storage platform may directly determine whether the resource demander in the resource allocation indication B has the right according to the right identifier.

In the case that the storage platform determines that the resource demander in the indication does not have the right to directly obtain the resource from the local, the steps performed by the storage platform can be referred to below, and will not be described in detail here.

S504, a generating platform generates corresponding resource quantity according to the received task information, associates the generated resources with the received task information and then sends the resources to a storage platform;

with the above example, after the generation platform generates the corresponding resource quantity according to the task information B, the generated resource is associated with the received task information and then directly sent to the storage platform.

And S505, after receiving the resources sent by the generation platform, the storage platform queries the corresponding resource allocation indication stored locally according to the associated task information, and updates the queried resource allocation indication to a supplemented state.

With reference to the above example, the storage platform stores the resource locally after receiving the resource, and may query the resource allocation indication B stored this time according to the task information B, and update the queried resource allocation indication B to the supplemented state.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the specification, a certain amount of resources are stored in the storage platform in advance, and the resources stored by the storage platform can be used when the resource demander needs the resources, so that the time interval from the generation of the needs to the acquisition of the resources by the resource demander is reduced, and the use needs of the resource demander are met. Meanwhile, the generation platform generates corresponding resources and sends the resources to the storage platform to maintain the number of the resources stored locally by the storage platform, so that the resources stored by the storage platform are prevented from being gradually reduced due to the fact that the resources are distributed to all resource demanders for use, and further, the continuous service for all the resource demanders can be guaranteed.

In the above S501, if it is determined that the prediction result is not greater than the preset duration threshold, that is, the requirement does not satisfy the preset rule, it indicates that the urgency of the resource requiring party to the resource requirement can be satisfied by generating and then sending the prediction result to the requiring party.

Therefore, under the condition that the prediction result is not larger than the preset time threshold, the resource providing system can generate resource scheduling task information aiming at the current resource requirement and provide the task information to the generating platform; the task information at least comprises: the identification of the resource demander and the required resource quantity;

the generation platform can generate corresponding resource quantity according to the received task information, and sends the generated resources to the scheduling platform after being associated with the received task information;

In this embodiment, when it is determined that the resource does not satisfy the preset rule, the resource requirement of the demander is satisfied by generating the corresponding resource and sending the resource to the resource demander, that is, when the requirement of the resource demander can be fully satisfied, a method of obtaining the resource from the locally stored resource for replenishment is not necessary. Thus saving the processing resources of the scheduling platform and the storage platform. In addition, in this embodiment, under the condition that it is determined that the requirement does not satisfy the preset rule, the generation platform may also directly send the generated resource to the resource demander, so as to further save the processing resource of the scheduling platform, thereby improving the efficiency of the resource demander for acquiring the resource.

In the above S503, in a case that it is determined that the resource demander in the indication does not have the right to directly obtain the resource from the local, the corresponding resource quantity may be obtained from the locally stored resource according to the received resource allocation indication, and the obtained resource is associated with the received allocation indication and then sent to the scheduling platform; updating the received resource allocation indication into a sent state according to the sending behavior; after receiving the resource, the scheduling platform may forward the received resource to the resource demanding party according to the resource demanding party identifier in the allocation indication.

In this embodiment, under the condition that it is determined that the resource demander in the indication does not have the right to directly acquire the resource from the local, the generated resource may be sent to the scheduling platform to forward the acquired resource, thereby solving the problem that the resource demander may also acquire the required resource under the condition that the resource demander does not directly acquire the resource right from the storage platform.

In addition, in order to improve the efficiency of the resource demander for acquiring the resource, under the condition that the storage platform determines that the resource demander does not have the right to directly acquire the resource from the local, a temporary or permanent right can be opened for the resource demander so that the resource demander can directly acquire the resource from the local. And further, the problem that the time for a resource demand party to acquire the resource is too long due to the fact that the resource is forwarded through the scheduling platform can be avoided. Namely, the time for the resource demander to acquire the resource is further shortened. The temporary permission means that the permission can only be used for the resource transmission of this time.

Of course, if the step of determining whether the resource demander has the right according to the resource demander identifier is executed by the scheduling platform, the scheduling platform may directly open a temporary or permanent right for the resource demander while determining that the resource demander does not have the right, so that the storage platform may directly send the locally acquired resource to the resource demander.

By the method, under the condition that the resource demander is determined not to have the right of directly acquiring the resource from the local, the time for the resource demander to acquire the resource can be further shortened by opening the right.

In order to more clearly illustrate a resource scheduling method shown in fig. 5 in this specification, the following describes a method executed by a scheduling platform from a single-side perspective:

for the scheduling platform, the tasks to be executed are mainly as follows:

generating a resource allocation instruction according to task information provided by a resource providing system, and sending the resource allocation instruction to a storage platform, so that the storage platform sends resources to a resource demander according to the resource allocation instruction and updates the received resource allocation instruction into a sent state; the storage platform updates the resource allocation indication to a supplemented state after receiving the resource sent by the generation platform; the resource allocation indication at least comprises: an identification of the resource demander, and the amount of resources required.

The resource allocation indication at least comprises: an identification of the resource demander, and the amount of resources required.

The following describes a second embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to a specific application scenario:

specific example 3:

as shown in fig. 6, in combination with the application scenario in embodiment 2, in order to avoid storing a large amount of funds in the payment platform for a long time, a third-party funds storage platform may be added to the funds providing system, and the funds are stored in the third-party funds storage platform.

After the user has spent swiping the card, the funds-providing system may further determine whether the pre-stored funds need to be retrieved from the third-party funds-storage platform. And under the condition of determining the need, the fund providing system sends fund scheduling task information consumed by the user to the settlement platform and the payment platform, wherein the fund scheduling task information comprises the consumption amount and account information of the merchant, and the payment platform generates a fund allocation instruction according to the fund scheduling task information and sends the fund allocation instruction to the third-party fund storage platform.

And the third-party fund storage platform can obtain corresponding fund quantity from the locally stored fund under the condition that the merchant is determined to have the right of directly obtaining the fund from the local according to the received fund distribution instruction, and send the obtained fund to the merchant, thereby meeting the fund return requirement of the merchant.

And when the settlement period is reached, the settlement platform sends the settlement amount to a third-party fund storage platform, and the third-party fund storage platform stores the acquired amount in a local account.

Further, in this scenario, the third-party fund storage platform may be a third-party payment mechanism such as a bank, and instead of storing a large amount of funds in the original payment platform for fund payment, the third-party payment mechanism may avoid the problem that the payment platform itself needs to pay a large amount of interest due to the fact that a large amount of funds are stored locally in the payment platform for a long time. Meanwhile, the problems that the funds are wasted due to excessive storage or insufficient storage causes insufficient funds can be solved.

In addition, in this scenario, in the case that the third-party storage platform is a third-party payment mechanism, such as a bank, since the merchant does not necessarily have the authority to obtain funds at the third-party payment mechanism, for example, the merchant does not make an account at the third-party payment mechanism, in this case, the third-party payment mechanism may forward the obtained funds to the merchant through the payment platform.

In the application scenario, funds are sent to the merchant in advance through the third-party fund storage platform, and the actual requirements of the merchant on fund return are met. Meanwhile, after settlement is completed, the third-party fund storage platform receives the fund settled by the settlement platform and fills the amount of money originally paid out.

Therefore, according to the first scheme and the second scheme, in the configuration of different application scenarios, the urgency of the resource demand party for the resource demand can be met by storing a certain amount of resources in advance, and meanwhile, the corresponding amount of resources can be generated by using the generation platform, so that the quantity of the resources of the resource providing system is always maintained at a certain quantity, and the demand of the resource demand party can be continuously met.
