Description

Method and server for transmitting product configuration parameters

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of data transmission technologies, and in particular, to a method and a server for transmitting product configuration parameters.

Background

The normal operation of the business process often requires data transmission between different servers or systems. For example, a certain system or server a needs to obtain data info, and the required data info is stored in another system or server B, then a needs to send a request for obtaining data info to B through the network, and B may return data info to a through the network.

For example, general network products (such as an online mobile business hall application system, a treasure picking application system and a treasure bringing system) have product configuration parameters required for realizing product functions. In order to provide service processing, an application system can be arranged at the front end of the network product, and the application system processes a service request sent by a client. In processing a service request, product configuration parameters for the specific service being processed may be required.

When a large number of products are involved, the product configuration parameters can be stored in the database, and meanwhile, a query system specially used for querying the database to obtain the product configuration parameters is arranged. The application system may comprise more than one server, e.g. a cluster of servers; the query system may also comprise more than one server, as for example a cluster of a plurality of servers. The application system is connected with the query system through a network, so that the transmission of the product configuration parameters is realized.

A method for transmitting product configuration parameters in the prior art is shown in fig. 1, and includes the following steps:

a1: a user sends a service request to an application system through operation on a client (such as a mobile phone and a personal computer);

a2: after receiving the service request, the application system performs corresponding service processing; in the process of service processing, the application system needs to inquire the configuration parameters of a certain product, so as to request the inquiry system to acquire the product configuration parameters of the required product through a network;

a3: the query system queries a database according to the request of the application system, acquires the product configuration parameters of the corresponding product, and returns the product configuration parameters to the application system;

a4: and the application system completes the service processing by using the returned product configuration parameters of the product and returns a processing result to the client.

The amount of data involved in the product configuration parameters of the prior art described above may be relatively large. When an application needs to process a large number of service requests from clients, frequent acquisition of product configuration parameters may be required. As mentioned above, the large amount of data of these product configuration parameters results in a large transmission bandwidth being occupied when the data is transmitted between the application system and the query system through the network.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting product configuration parameters according to an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the method for transmitting the product configuration parameters includes the following steps:

s310: the query system stores a product configuration metadata set that includes optional configuration parameters and corresponding aliases for the product.

In the embodiment of the method, the product can comprise a certain theme service provided by an e-commerce platform (such as a Shandong online shopping mall and Taobao). Taking the Payment client side as an example, the loan, the transfer and the flower in the Payment client side are three different products.

In this embodiment of the method, the set of product configuration metadata may include optional configuration parameters of the product. A product may include one or more configuration parameters. In this embodiment, the configuration parameters in the product configuration metadata set may also have corresponding aliases. The length of the alias is less than the configuration parameter number. For example, one (or a few) english characters may be used as an alias for a configuration parameter.

The product configuration parameters can be configured by research personnel in the development stage of the product or obtained by capturing by a system. Typically, different products each have one or more configuration parameters, many of which may even be as many as several hundred. These configuration parameters may be used to describe various types of attributes of the product. An application system performs some business processing of a product, typically requiring some or all of the configuration parameters involved in the product.

The configuration parameters may be stored in the form of key-value key value pairs. Product configuration parameters in the form of Key-value are shown, for example, in table 1 below:

TABLE 1 optional configuration parameters for products

Name of key	Optional value
		Type of platform	Taobao guarantee trading
Type of platform	Instant account transaction
		…	…

Capital channel	A credit card for enrollment,
		Capital channel	Industrial and commercial credit card, …
…	…

In the above table, the configuration parameters are set to be stored in the corresponding form. In the same row, the Key name and the Value can be two configuration parameters with corresponding relationship. As shown in the table above, for platform types, the corresponding parameters (i.e., the selectable value) that may be selected include an amortization transaction, an instant-to-account transaction, and the like.

After aliasing each configuration parameter involved in the configuration data in table 1 above, the following table 2 is shown:

TABLE 2 product 1 configuration metadata set

Name of key	Key name	Optional value	Optional value alias
				Type of platform	P	Taobao guarantee trading	S
Type of platform	P	Instant account transaction	F
				…	…	…	…
Capital channel	C	Credit card for enrollment	Z
				Capital channel	C	Industrial and commercial credit card	G
…	…	…	…

As indicated above, the alias may include less data than the configuration parameter number.

S320: and the application system receives and analyzes a service request sent by a client to obtain a product identifier corresponding to the service and a configuration parameter identifier required for processing the service.

The clients in embodiments of the present method may generally include personal computers, laptops, wireless phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), smart watches, or other computer devices and communication devices used by users. The user can trigger corresponding service through operation on the client; in response to the operation, the client may send a corresponding service request to the application system.

For example, a user of a certain pay bank needs to make a loan through the pay bank, and the user can access loan services in a page provided by a pay bank application on a terminal such as a mobile phone or a computer. The service request is, in this embodiment, for example, a loan service request.

After receiving the service request sent by the client, the application system can analyze the service request. Through analysis, the product identifier corresponding to the service and the configuration parameter identifier required for processing the service can be obtained.

The service condition may be included in the service request. Still taking the example that the payer uses the loan of paying money, the platform type and the fund channel of the loan can be two service conditions of the product. In this step, the application system may obtain, according to the service condition in the service request, the product identifier corresponding to the service and the configuration parameter identifier required for processing the service.

The application system may include one or more servers through which services are provided to one or more users and may obtain services from the querying system.

S330: and the application system sends a request for acquiring the product configuration metadata set corresponding to the product identification to the query system.

The application system may obtain a corresponding product configuration metadata set from the query system according to the product identifier determined in step S320. As still another example, when a user of a certain payment treasure makes a loan through loan transactions in the payment treasure, the application system sends a request for obtaining the product configuration metadata set corresponding to the identifier of the loan product to the query system.

S340: and the query system searches a product configuration metadata set corresponding to the product identification according to the request and returns the product configuration metadata set to the application system.

The query system can find the corresponding product configuration metadata set according to the product identification contained in the received request, and returns the corresponding product configuration metadata set to the application system.

For example, taking the foregoing example that a certain user of a payment bank loans through a loan service in the payment bank, the query system may find a product configuration metadata set corresponding to a loan product according to an identifier of the loan product and return the product configuration metadata set to the application system.

In this way, the application system may locally store a set of product configuration metadata like Table 2.

S350: and the application system sends a request for acquiring the alias of the configuration parameter corresponding to the product configuration parameter identifier to the query system.

The application system may send a request to the query system for obtaining the alias of the configuration parameter corresponding to the product configuration parameter identifier. For example, in the case that a user of a certain payer loans through a loan service in the payer, the application system sends a request for obtaining alias names of the corresponding configuration parameters, which are identified as 101 and 112, to the query system.

S360: and the query system acquires the configuration parameter alias corresponding to the product configuration data identifier according to the request and returns the configuration parameter alias to the application system.

The query system may store configuration parameters for the product, for example as shown in the following table:

TABLE 3 PRODUCT 1 CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS TABLE

For example, after receiving a request sent by the application system to obtain the alias names of the configuration parameters corresponding to the product configuration parameter identifiers 101 and 112, the query system may search the configuration parameter table to obtain the alias name of the configuration parameter corresponding to the product configuration parameter identifier, for example, two search results, P ═ S and C ═ Z, may be obtained.

It should be noted that the same product configuration parameter identifier may also correspond to multiple configuration parameter aliases or multiple configuration parameter aliases. For example, the product configuration parameter identifier 101 corresponds to "P ═ S, K ═ T, and W ═ Q …". Thus, what returns to the application system may be "P ═ S, K ═ T, and W ═ Q …". And are not limited thereto.

S370: and the application system receives the alias of the returned product configuration parameter and searches the corresponding product configuration parameter according to the local product configuration metadata set.

After receiving the alias of the returned product configuration parameter, the application system may perform processing according to the product configuration metadata set returned in step S350 in this embodiment, and restore the alias of the returned product configuration parameter to the product configuration data required for processing the client service request.

Furthermore, the application system can perform service processing by using the restored product configuration data.

As in the foregoing example where a certain user of a bank pay makes a loan through the loan service in the bank pay, the product configuration parameter returned by the query system is named "P ═ S; c ═ G ". The application system may look up P, S, C the configuration parameters for G based on the locally stored product configuration metadata set. Therefore, the corresponding product configuration parameter can be obtained as 'platform type is the Taobao guarantee transaction'; the capital channel is an industry and commerce credit card ".

By the embodiment of the application, the application system can obtain the product identifier corresponding to the service and the configuration parameter identifier required for processing the service by receiving and analyzing the service request sent by the client; the application system acquires a product configuration metadata set corresponding to the product identification from a query system, wherein the product configuration metadata set comprises optional configuration parameters and corresponding aliases of the product; the application system acquires the configuration parameter alias corresponding to the product configuration parameter identifier from a query system; and further searching the product configuration parameters corresponding to the configuration parameter aliases according to the local product configuration metadata set. When an application system processes a large number of service requests sent by clients, product configuration parameters are frequently acquired. Through the embodiment, the alias of the configuration parameters can be transmitted to replace the configuration parameters with longer original character length, so that the network bandwidth occupied by the product configuration parameters in the process of using and transmitting the product configuration parameters in a large quantity can be greatly reduced.

Fig. 4 is a method embodiment of transmitting product configuration parameters mainly based on the application system in fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4, including:

s410: and the application system receives a service request sent by the client.

In this way, the application system can receive a service request sent by a client.

S420: and the application system analyzes the service request to obtain a product identifier corresponding to the service and a configuration parameter identifier required for processing the service.

The service condition may be included in the service request.

and the application system analyzes the service request, and obtains a product identifier corresponding to the service and a configuration parameter identifier required for processing the service according to service conditions in the service request.

S430: the application system acquires a product configuration metadata set corresponding to the product identification from a query system, wherein the product configuration metadata set comprises optional configuration parameters and corresponding aliases of the product; the length of the alias is less than the configuration parameter number.

As previously mentioned, the configuration parameters stored in the query system may be in the form of Key-Value. In this way, the application system can also obtain and store configuration parameters in the form of Key-Value.

S440: and the application system acquires the configuration parameter alias corresponding to the product configuration parameter identifier from the query system.

S450: and the application system searches the product configuration parameters corresponding to the configuration parameter aliases according to the local product configuration metadata set.

Through the embodiment, the alias of the configuration parameters can be transmitted to replace the configuration parameters with longer original character length, so that the network bandwidth occupied by the product configuration parameters in the process of using and transmitting the product configuration parameters in a large quantity can be greatly reduced.

Other aspects of this step are similar to the above-mentioned step S310, and are not described herein again.

S520: and the application system sends a request for acquiring the product configuration metadata set to the query system.

In this embodiment, an application system is generally dedicated to processing the business of one or more products. The query system may be responsible for the storage of product configuration metadata sets for all or part of the product business. In this way, the application system dedicated to the business processing of a certain product may send the identifier of the product that is in charge of processing to the query system, and request the query system to obtain the product configuration metadata set corresponding to the identifier.

Specifically, the application system checks whether a product configuration metadata set corresponding to the identifier is locally stored at regular time. And if not, sending a request for acquiring the metadata set of the product configuration corresponding to the identification to a query system.

S530: and the query system searches the product configuration metadata set according to the request and returns the product configuration metadata set to the application system.

S540: and the application system receives and analyzes the service request sent by the client to obtain the product configuration parameter identification required by processing the service.

The service request may include a service condition. The analyzing, by the application system, the service request to obtain the product identifier corresponding to the service and the configuration parameter identifier required for processing the service may specifically include: and the application system analyzes the service request, and obtains a product identifier corresponding to the service and a configuration parameter identifier required for processing the service according to service conditions in the service request.

This step is similar to step S320 in the embodiment of fig. 3 in other respects, and is not described herein again.

S550: and the application system sends a request for acquiring the alias of the configuration parameter corresponding to the product configuration parameter identifier to the query system.

S560: and the query system acquires the configuration parameter alias corresponding to the product configuration parameter identifier according to the request and returns the configuration parameter alias to the application system.

As shown in table 3 above, similarly, for example, after the query system receives the request sent by the application system to obtain the alias of the configuration parameter corresponding to the product configuration parameter identifier 101 or 112, the configuration parameter table may be searched to obtain the alias of the configuration parameter corresponding to the product configuration parameter identifier, for example, two search results, P ═ S and C ═ Z, may be obtained.

S570: and the application system searches the product configuration parameters corresponding to the configuration parameter aliases according to the local product configuration metadata set.

The main difference between the embodiment of fig. 5 and the embodiment of fig. 3 lies in the condition that triggers the application system to send a request for obtaining the metadata set of the product configuration to the query system. In the embodiment of fig. 3, a service request trigger sent by a client may be received by an application system; in the embodiment of fig. 5, the application system may trigger, for example, to periodically check whether a metadata set corresponding to the product configuration corresponding to the identifier is locally stored.

In the 90 s of the 20 th century, improvements in a technology could clearly distinguish between improvements in hardware (e.g., improvements in circuit structures such as diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) and improvements in software (improvements in process flow). However, as technology advances, many of today's process flow improvements have been seen as direct improvements in hardware circuit architecture. Designers almost always obtain the corresponding hardware circuit structure by programming an improved method flow into the hardware circuit. Thus, it cannot be said that an improvement in the process flow cannot be realized by hardware physical modules. For example, a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), such as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), is an integrated circuit whose Logic functions are determined by programming the Device by a user. A digital system is "integrated" on a PLD by the designer's own programming without requiring the chip manufacturer to design and fabricate application-specific integrated circuit chips. Furthermore, nowadays, instead of manually making an integrated Circuit chip, such Programming is often implemented by "logic compiler" software, which is similar to a software compiler used in program development and writing, but the original code before compiling is also written by a specific Programming Language, which is called Hardware Description Language (HDL), and HDL is not only one but many, such as abel (advanced Boolean Expression Language), ahdl (alternate Language Description Language), traffic, pl (core unified Programming Language), HDCal, JHDL (Java Hardware Description Language), langue, Lola, HDL, laspam, hardsradware (Hardware Description Language), vhjhd (Hardware Description Language), and vhigh-Language, which are currently used in most common. It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that hardware circuitry that implements the logical method flows can be readily obtained by merely slightly programming the method flows into an integrated circuit using the hardware description languages described above.

The controller may be implemented in any suitable manner, for example, the controller may take the form of, for example, a microprocessor or processor and a computer-readable medium storing computer-readable program code (e.g., software or firmware) executable by the (micro) processor, logic gates, switches, an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic controller, and an embedded microcontroller, examples of which include, but are not limited to, the following microcontrollers: ARC 625D, Atmel AT91SAM, Microchip PIC18F26K20, and Silicone Labs C8051F320, the memory controller may also be implemented as part of the control logic for the memory. Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that, in addition to implementing the controller as pure computer readable program code, the same functionality can be implemented by logically programming method steps such that the controller is in the form of logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits, programmable logic controllers, embedded microcontrollers and the like. Such a controller may thus be considered a hardware component, and the means included therein for performing the various functions may also be considered as a structure within the hardware component. Or even means for performing the functions may be regarded as being both a software module for performing the method and a structure within a hardware component.

The systems, devices, modules or units illustrated in the above embodiments may be implemented by a computer chip or an entity, or by a product with certain functions.

For convenience of description, the above devices are described as being divided into various units by function, and are described separately. Of course, the functionality of the units may be implemented in one or more software and/or hardware when implementing the present application.

The memory may include forms of volatile memory in a computer readable medium, Random Access Memory (RAM) and/or non-volatile memory, such as Read Only Memory (ROM) or flash memory (flash RAM). Memory is an example of a computer-readable medium.

Computer-readable media, including both non-transitory and non-transitory, removable and non-removable media, may implement information storage by any method or technology. The information may be computer readable instructions, data structures, modules of a program, or other data.

As defined herein, a computer readable medium does not include a transitory computer readable medium such as a modulated data signal and a carrier wave.

It should also be noted that the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising an … …" does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
