Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a resource license license control method, apparatus, and system.

Background technique

With the popularity of personal computers, the emergence of a large number of programmers and software companies, software technology has developed rapidly, and at the same time, software protection has been greatly challenged.

Previously, users had the software to run and use it, so software companies control software usage primarily by controlling software replication and software distribution. At this time, there are many technical means to prevent the software from being illegally copied. The basic principle is usually to bundle the software with a specific hardware carrier, such as a floppy disk, an optical disk, etc., but this method is too dependent on the hardware, thereby promoting the software. To be limited.

At present, equipment providers basically do not have corresponding control strategies to meet the needs of customers. If the same customer makes multiple purchases, each supplier will provide more than the number of ports configured by the standard of the purchase order. Make full use of existing ports for service provisioning and increase hardware development costs. Not only port resources, but also other hardware resources and network resources face the same problem.

Summary of the invention

The invention provides a resource license control method, device and system, which enable a telecom equipment supplier to effectively manage hardware resources.

The present invention provides a resource license control method, including:

The resource license control center receives the resource license file;

The resource license control center loads the corresponding resource license file into the resource license to analyze the crying port. The resource license file parses the resource license file to obtain a resource license.

The present invention also provides a resource license control system, including:

The resource license control center is configured to receive a resource license application for the telecommunication device, and manage the resources of the telecommunication device;

The resource license analyzer is configured to adjust the resource license provided by the resource license control center, and adjust the resource license of the telecommunication device according to the instruction of the resource license control center.

The present invention also provides a resource license control apparatus, including:

The resource receiving module is configured to obtain resource license data.

The resource license parser is configured to parse the resource license data obtained by the resource license receiving module and obtain a resource license license;

The service module is configured to manage the corresponding resource according to the resource license provided by the resource license parser.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the resource management license center is integrated into the network management server, and the resource license file is loaded into the resource license analyzer by the resource control center, and the device is parsed to obtain the device type, service port type, and service. The license information such as the number of ports can be authorized, and the power supply device can effectively manage and control the port resources. In addition, when the resource management of the device port resource is performed by using the technical solution of the present invention, the administrator can also guide the party to purchase the port according to the resource license, thereby avoiding port waste and free use of the user. Through this scheme, various hardware resources such as service board resources, air interface link resources, and channel resources in the communication system can also be licensed.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a special license server is deployed, and the function is equivalent to the foregoing resource license control center, which is used to centrally manage all the resource licenses of the user, and the license server dynamically determines the remaining resource licenses and returns the resource license result. In this embodiment, the resource licenses of the user are collectively distributed to the license server for management, so that the dynamic license is dynamically distributed and the resource license usage rate is improved.

In addition, because the functions of the resource license control center are concentrated, in order to further improve the system Real-time and reliability, as an improved solution, in the embodiment of the present invention, the resource control center is implemented by the license server and the license client according to the function, thereby turning the original centralized management into distributed management. . That is, the license client is directly deployed on the telecom device or the application server. Each telecom device or application server has a separate license client responsible for the resource license, so that the license is originally assumed by the resource license control center in the network management server. The work breakdown is shared between the license server and the license clients of the telecom or application servers. The concurrent processing pressure of the resource license control center will be greatly alleviated. At the same time, when the license client on the telecom device or the application server runs abnormally, the service module can also directly license the license server. This mechanism improves the operating efficiency of the system and effectively solves the performance bottleneck of the license server.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the application server may not directly perform remote license to the resource license control center, but license the license to the local license client. The license client and the license server are loosely coupled, and the local call ratio is The remote call saves the overhead of network transmission and message packet encoding and decoding; the efficiency and reliability of the local call is much greater than the remote call; in addition, the license client only needs to provide the license service to a single application server, and the running pressure is very small, so Supporting more complex and flexible resource license policies; Due to distributed deployment and independent operation, the temporary failure of the network management server will not immediately affect the service operation of the telecommunication equipment, and the abnormality of the network between the network management server and the telecommunication equipment will not be affected immediately. By the operation of the business, the reliability of the system is greatly enhanced.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the license client obtains the resource license that was previously refreshed. If the peak of the service is encountered, the total number of resources issued by multiple license clients may exceed the total license. The resource pool enables the resource license to be issued in a large amount. The actual number of licenses issued by the service provider temporarily exceeds the total number of resource licenses owned by the service provider ASP. Therefore, the solution supports the resource license overlap of the ASP. "Operational model, but will not cause losses to the legitimate interests of software rights holders.

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors have found through research that: existing telecommunication equipment suppliers often encounter the following problems in the course of operation: The bureau is not in accordance with the standard of the procurement plan of a certain device (such as broadband access equipment). Configure the purchase order (PO, Purchase Order), but the actual port needs to download the purchase plan, and the standard configuration provided by the telecom equipment supplier of the access device is basically 8, 16, 32, 48, 64 For the configuration of the ports, the device supplier will only provide the devices to the Administrator in accordance with the number of ports configured by the standard ordering of the order, which may result in waste of the ports, and even the redundant ports are used by the users for free. If the Bureau may purchase 79 ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Loop/Line) instead of purchasing 96 ADSL for the first time, the equipment supplier will provide 96 ADSL. Sub-purchasing may result in wasted 17-way ADSL ports. The second time, the bureau may purchase 30 ADSL, and the equipment supplier can only provide 48 ADSL, which in turn causes 18 channels of ADSL ports to be wasted, so that the two purchases have caused a total of 35 ADSL ports to be wasted.

To this end, the present invention provides a method, system, and apparatus for controlling and managing various resources through a license. It should be noted that the resources described in the present invention include, but are not limited to, various hardware resources such as port resources, service board resources, air interface link resources, and channel resources in a communication system. The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below by taking port resources as an example.

As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a system structure diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, which mainly includes a resource license management console, a network management server, and a telecommunication device, where: The license management console is used to encrypt the license file generator (not identified in the figure) according to the device type, device serial number, device version, licensable service port type, and number of licensable ports. The algorithm generates a resource license file and stores it on the network management server.

In addition to running the network management function background process, the network management server also integrates the resource license control center. The resource license control center is mainly responsible for the centralized management of the resource license file, and processes the port resource application or the fragmented resource application when the device is powered on, according to the device. The requirements for registration and fragmented resource application load the corresponding resource license file to the device.

The resource license control center can search for the corresponding resource license file on the network management server based on the resource such as the port of the telecom device, and use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol). The protocol transmits the file to the telecommunication device.

The telecommunication equipment is used for service distribution, and the ADSL broadband Internet access and voice call can be realized through the device. An FTP or TFTP server is configured on the telecom device to receive the resource license file. The resource license is also configured to resolve the resource license file to obtain the resource license.

When the resource license management service is started through the resource management console, the license control center of the network management server interacts with the telecommunication device through SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to notify the growth rules of the telecommunication device resource license file and notify the resource. The license resolver starts to perform port resource license management. The resource license resolver parses out the device type, service port type, and number of service port licenses according to the rules of the resource license file generated by the resource license generator, and controls the number of licenses in the default manner. Port issuing business.

During the operation, you may need to adjust the port of the default authorization. For example, to reclaim authorization for certain ports or to adjust the authorization of certain ports, the resource license management console passes the permission adjustment command to the resource license control center. The resource license control center interacts with the telecom device resource license through the SNMP protocol. The resource license resolver adjusts the port permissions according to the indication of the port permissions sent by the resource license control center. For example, the resource license control center passes the adjusted port authority information such as the number of authorized service ports through the resource license file. The device indicates to the resource license resolver, and the resource license resolver resolves the resource license file to obtain information such as the number of authorized ports of the service port, so as to control the port issuing service within the authorized number range according to the information.

In general, the resource license policy can be used to load the resource license file and start the resource license policy control when the device is initially powered on. The device license file can be loaded only after a certain feature is used. And policy control.

When the telecom device is powered on, the device name + device version + ESN (electronic serial number) + Feature (item) + items (item) is used to register with the license control center of the network management server. (The ESN does not change with the hardware of the device. The items represent the resource control item of the access device, and the Feature indicates the function of the device.) The resource license control center controls the resources of all the resources and the scale of the telecommunication device. The file is sent to the device.

When a port resource activity with no resource license policy is enabled, the resource license resolver will register with the resource license control with the device name + device version + ESN + Feature + items and apply for the port resource license. The center loads the corresponding port resource license file (the file implements resource and size control instructions) on the device according to the device application. The resource license resolver will identify the resource license file based on the device serial number. If the resource license file does not match the device, a warning will be issued.

After the resource license file is identified, if the resource license control month is enabled, the resource license resolver will automatically resolve the resource license file, and the telecommunication device implements corresponding policy management according to the content of the resource license file. After the resource license management is started, the system automatically enters the resource license management trial state (such as one month trial state). In the trial state, all ports are available, but the resource license management console is passed irregularly (such as once a day). Remind the user that the resource license control will take effect and remind the user to purchase according to the port resource license. After the expiration of the trial state, the system automatically enters the resource license management controlled state, that is, only the port number of the port specified by the resource license can be used, and other ports will automatically fail even if they are already used, and the alarm is sent through the management console.

In addition to the trial state and the controlled state, the device also provides a normal state. The relationship between the three operating states is shown in Figure 2. After the resource license management is enabled, the system manages the normal state by the resource license. After the trial mode expires, the system is managed by the resource license to enter the resource license management state. After the resource license is disabled, the system is managed by the resource license and enters the resource license management state. The system is in the resource license management trial state. If the resource license management is disabled, the system prohibits the resource license management and directly enters the forbidden resource license management state. The normal state is the running state of the device that does not start the resource license management. Considering the market policy, not every operator needs to implement the policy of purchasing the license based on the port resource license.

The process of the embodiment of the present invention is as shown in FIG. 3, and includes the following steps:

Step 1: According to the device type, device serial number, device version, licensable service port type, and number of licensable ports, resources generated by the encryption algorithm according to certain combination principles.

The license file is stored on the NMS server. The license files for each port resource are different.

Step 2: The telecom device applies for port resources to the resource management center of the network management server. Step 3: Resources of the NMS server The License Control Center loads the resource license files of the corresponding resources into the telecommunication device through FTP or TFTP.

Step 4: Enable resource license control through the resource license management console.

Step 5: After the resource is enabled, the resource of the resource license file is loaded. The license resolver automatically resolves the resource license file.

Step 6: The resource license resolver will control the port distribution service within the authorized number range according to the device type, service port type, and number of service port licenses that can be resolved according to the rules for generating the resource license file.

In addition, you can also include Step 7: Resource License Resolver based on the resources of the network management server

The license control center adjusts the port permissions to adjust the port permissions.

If the user has more requirements for port service delivery, the application needs to be submitted, the supplier regenerates the resource license file according to the new requirement, and performs secondary charging according to the increased number of ports.

As shown in FIG. 4, it is a system structure diagram of another embodiment of the present invention, which mainly includes a resource license management console, a network management server, and a telecommunication device, where:

The resource license management console is used to identify the license file generator (not identified in the figure) according to the device type, device serial number, device version, licensable service port type, and licensable port. The quantity, according to a certain combination principle, generates a resource license file through the encryption algorithm and stores it on the network management server.

In addition to running the network management function background process, the network management server also integrates the resource license control center and the resource license resolver. The resource license control center is responsible for the centralized management of the resource license file, and processes the port resource application or the fragmented resource application when the device is powered on, and loads the corresponding resource license file to the resource license according to the requirements of the device registration and the fragmented resource application. Parser.

When the resource license management console starts the resource license management service, the resource license control center searches for the corresponding resource license file on the network management server according to the port resource application of the telecommunication device, and notifies the resource license resolver to start the port resource license management. The resource license resolver parses the information required for port control such as the device type, the service port type, and the number of authorized ports of the service port according to the rules for generating the resource license file, and transmits the information to the telecommunication device through the SNMP protocol.

The flow of the above embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

Step 1: According to the device type, the device serial number, the device version, the licensable service port type, and the number of licensable ports, the resource license file generated by the encryption algorithm is stored on the NMS server according to a certain combination. The resource license files of the resources are different.

Step 2: The telecom device applies for port resources to the resource management center of the network management server. Step 3: Resources of the NMS server The License Control Center loads the resource license file of the corresponding resource into the resource license resolver.

Step 5: After the resource license control is enabled, the resource license that is loaded with the resource license file automatically resolves the device type, service port type, and number of service port licenses according to the rules for generating the resource license file, and the information is obtained through the SNMP protocol. Incoming telecom equipment to adjust port permissions.

It should be noted that, in addition to setting the resource license resolver in the network management server, those skilled in the art can easily think of setting the resource license parser in other servers, and can also implement the present invention. the goal of. Since the implementation process is similar to the above embodiment of the present invention, it will not be described herein. In addition, the foregoing embodiments of the present invention are directed to port control of a communication device, and other device resources, such as a board, a chassis, or even a logical resource PVC, a service port, etc., can be easily used by those skilled in the art. Resource license control is implemented with reference to the technical solution of the present invention. Since the implementation process is similar to the above embodiment of the present invention, it will not be described herein.

In addition, in the actual application, the resource license control center can be implemented in the following two networking modes according to the centralized and distributed functions.

As shown in FIG. 5, it is an example of networking of a resource license control system according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a dedicated license server. Its function is equivalent to the aforementioned resource license control center. It is used to centrally manage all the licenses of the user. The service modules are distributed on different application servers or telecom devices. Each service module directly accesses the license. The license server applies for a resource license. The license server dynamically determines the remaining resource licenses and returns the resource license result. The service module determines the service process based on the license result of the resource license, and resolves the resource through the resource license resolver when there is a resource license file. License file to obtain a license license.

An example of the process is shown in Figure 6:

Step 1: The service module receives the service request and applies for the resource license license to the license server. Step 2: The license server checks the current remaining resource license license and determines whether to issue the resource license license.

Step 3: If there is a resource license that can be issued, the license server performs the resource license license and deducts the resource license license 1;

Step 4: The license server returns a response message for successful application to the service module.

Step 5: After receiving the resource license, the service module performs the business operation.

In this embodiment, the resource license is distributed to the license server, and the resource license is dynamically distributed and the resource license usage rate is improved.

However, the solution relies on the license server to manage and control the resource license. When the number of application servers or telecom devices is large and the service module is running busy, each resource license request must be applied to the license server for each service module. Heavy loads also increase network traffic.

Because the functions of the resource license control center in the foregoing embodiments of the present invention are relatively centralized, in order to further improve the real-time performance and reliability of the system, as an improved solution, the resource license is controlled. Part of the function of the heart is placed in the telecom equipment. The resource control center is implemented by the license server and the license client according to the functions, so that the original centralized management becomes distributed management. To this end, the present invention provides another way, namely:

Referring to FIG. 7, the license server manages the entire license resource, and synchronizes the global data of the resource license to all the telecommunication devices or application servers when the system is started, and sends the latest resource license data to the telecommunication device according to the request of the telecommunication device. Or sent to the telecommunication device through the application server. The resource license global data includes the number of licenses of the license server, the number of licenses being used, and the number of remaining licenses.

Each telecommunication device or application server includes at least one License Client and at least one service module. The service module requests a resource license license from the license client of the local telecommunication device or the application server, and performs a service operation after obtaining the license of the license client. The license client performs resource license permission on the service module according to the resource license data obtained from the license server, and sends a license response message to the service module. The license client also periodically sends the resource license data to the license server, and updates the local resource license data according to the response message of the license server. The license data sent by the license client to the license server is the resource license incremental data or the resource license cumulative data. The incremental data refers to the newly occupied and newly released resource licenses of a single license client in a refresh cycle. The cumulative data of the resource license refers to the number of resource licenses accumulated and released by a single telecommunication device or application server from the start.

As shown in Figure 7, the data stored on the license server mainly includes the number of resource licenses used by the license clients and the latest resource license global data. In the first embodiment, when the license server and the license client exchange incremental data, the license client stores incremental data and locally available resource license data. In the second embodiment, when the license server and the license client exchange the cumulative number of resource licenses used by the license server, the license client stores the cumulative number of resource licenses and the locally available resource license data. Correspondingly, the data stored in the license client mainly includes the resource license incremental data or the cumulative number of resource licenses used, and the number of available resource licenses. The data in the License client can also be stored in other modules or devices.

Please refer to FIG. 8 , which is a flowchart of a resource license control method according to this embodiment, including, for example, Next steps:

A: The service module of the application server requests a resource license license from the license client of the application server;

B: The license client obtains the resource license from the license server and loads it into the resource license resolver of the service module.

C: The resource license parser parses the resource license data and obtains a resource license license;

D: The telecommunication device interacts with the application server, obtains a resource license from the application server, and performs a business operation according to the resource license.

Or include the following steps:

A: The service module of the telecommunication device requests a resource license license from the license client of the telecommunication device;

B: The license client obtains the resource license data from the license server and loads it into the resource license resolver of the service module.

C: The resource license parser parses the resource license data and obtains the resource.

License license;

D: The business module performs business operations based on the resource license.

Because the license server and the license client are distributed, the running status of the two servers and the data stored in the two are not synchronized. When the license server is started or restarted, the data on the license server needs to be initialized. Please refer to Figure 9. The data initialization steps of the License server are as follows:

The license server reads the total number of licenses and obtains the number of licenses used by the license clients of all telecommunication devices.

The license client suspends the license to the service module and returns the number of resource licenses used by the license server to the license server.

The license server collects the number of resource licenses used by each telecommunication device, generates resource license global data, and provides updated resource license data to all license clients.

The license client updates the locally available resource license data and restores the license to the service module. The telecommunication device or the application server may be abnormally terminated. After the telecommunication device or the application server is terminated, the license server considers that the resource license still occupies the license resource. Therefore, when the telecommunication device or the application server is started or restarted, the license server needs to send a message to the license server to initialize the resource license data of the license client, that is, the data of the telecommunication device or the application server needs to be initialized. , initialization steps for the telecommunication device or application server:

The license client clears the number of resources used by the local license and sends a message to the license server.

The license server clears the number of resource licenses used by the license client, updates the resource license global data, and sends the updated resource license data to all license clients.

The license client updates the locally available resource license data and provides the license to the service module by updating the local resource license data.

Please refer to FIG. 11 , which is a step for the telecommunication device or the application server to obtain the resource license data from the license server:

The license client periodically reports the resource license data of the local end to the license server.

The license server updates the resource license global data according to the resource license data of the upper layer, and sends the updated resource license data to all the license clients, where the updated resource license data includes at least the available resource license data;

The license client updates the local resource license data.

In a specific embodiment, the license client periodically reports the incremental data of the local end or the cumulative number of used resource licenses to the license server. If the incremental data is reported, the license client clears the incremental data when updating the local resource license data.

Optionally, the license client temporarily suspends the provision of the resource license license from the time of the license data to the update of the local resource license data.

The service module directly accesses the local license client for resource license. There are three types of license operations: Determine whether the service can be executed or apply for a new resource license or release the resource license.

When applying for a new resource license, if the license operation is to apply for a new resource license, then The source license client determines whether the remaining available resource licenses are sufficient according to the local resource license global data. If the number of resource licenses is insufficient, the application of the service module is rejected. If sufficient, the service module provides a license success response message, and the local service is available. The number of resource license data is reduced by 1.

If the license operation is to release the resource license, the number of locally available resource license data is increased by 1.

In addition, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a resource license control device, which can be directly applied to an application server or a telecommunication device, and includes:

The resource receiving module is configured to obtain resource license data.

If the device is applied to the application server, the resource license receiving module is a license client, and the resource license data is obtained through the license server. If the device is applied to the telecommunication device, the license receiving module includes a local input interface for receiving the locally input resource license data. For details on the resolution of the resource license file, refer to the previous description, and details are not mentioned here.

In addition, it should be noted that the resource license file includes, but is not limited to, license data organized in a file format, and license data not organized in a file format, such as simple license data. The spirit and scope of the Ming. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and the modifications
