Please refer to fig. 2. In this embodiment, the cabinet lock may have an indication function. Specifically, the cabinet lock may be provided with an LED lamp or the like. When receiving the appointed signal, the LED lamp changes correspondingly to remind the user. In this embodiment, the cabinet lock may further include a power supply part. The power supply part is used for supplying power to the cabinet lock. Specifically, for example, the cabinet lock may be electrically connected to a power source through a cable, so that the cabinet lock is powered on. The cabinet lock can also be powered by a loaded battery. The power supply to the cabinet lock can be realized by solar power supply or mechanical power generation. And will not be described in detail herein.

In this embodiment, the cabinet lock may also have a positioning function. Specifically, for example, the cabinet lock may be located by GPS, WIFI, or base station. The cabinet lock can also be positioned through Internet of things equipment such as ibeacon and WIFI probes. And will not be described in detail herein.

In this embodiment, the cabinet lock may function to open and close the cabinet door of the storage cabinet. Specifically, the cabinet lock can be communicated with other clients or a server to receive instructions and control the opening and closing of the cabinet door. The communication may include long-range communication and short-range communication. Specifically, for example, the cabinet lock may implement remote communication through GPRS, 3G, 4G, 5G, wifi, and the like. The cabinet lock can also realize near field communication through Bluetooth, NFC and WIFI Direct.

In this embodiment, the client may be configured to send an unlocking request to the server, so that the server sends an unlocking instruction to the cabinet lock of the target locker according to the unlocking request, so that the cabinet lock of the target locker is in the unlocked state. The unlocking request may be a cabinet lock request message directed to the target locker. When the server receives the request information, the server can execute a corresponding instruction to control the cabinet lock to be in an unlocking state.

In this embodiment, the client may be a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a smart phone, a digital assistant, a smart wearable device, or the like. Wherein, wearable equipment of intelligence can include intelligent bracelet, intelligent wrist-watch, intelligent glasses, intelligent helmet etc.. Of course, the client is not limited to the electronic device with certain entities, and may also be software running in the electronic device.

In this embodiment, the user may use the client to perform data interaction with the server through the network, so as to send an unlocking request or an inquiry request to the server. The query request may be used to query the status information of the locker, etc. And the user can perform data interaction with the cabinet lock through the client. For example, the unlocking request or the inquiry request is sent by bluetooth or NFC near field communication technology or the like. In this embodiment, the client may be configured to send an unlocking request to the server; wherein the unlocking request is directed to the cabinet lock of the target locker. The target locker may represent the locker to which the user requested to unlock.

In this embodiment, the server may be an electronic device with computing and network interaction functions; software that runs in the electronic device and provides business logic for data processing and network interaction is also possible.

In this embodiment, the server may be configured to receive the unlocking request; and sending an unlocking instruction to the cabinet lock of the target locker according to the unlocking request so as to enable the cabinet lock of the target locker to be in the unlocking state.

In this embodiment, the server may receive data sent by the user using the client, or may receive data sent by the cabinet lock. Specifically, for example, the server may be configured to receive an unlocking request sent by the client, and may also receive state information sent by the cabinet lock, where the state information may indicate that the corresponding locker is in an occupied state or an empty state.

Please refer to fig. 3. In one particular example scenario, a cell provides a plurality of storage cabinets for facilitating access to items purchased by users on the internet. Each locker may have a respective identifier. For example: 001. 002, 003, etc. Each locker corresponds to a locker lock. The cabinet lock can receive the server control and is in a locking state and an unlocking state; in the locked state, the cabinet lock obstructs opening of a cabinet door of the storage cabinet; in the unlocked state, the cabinet lock relieves the obstruction to the cabinet door.

In this scenario example, a user purchases an item on the web. When the merchant delivers the goods, the logistics list number is pasted on the package of the goods corresponding to the goods and is used for identifying the goods. The delivery person can scan the two-dimensional code on the parcel corresponding to the article by using the client to obtain the logistics list number corresponding to the article. In this scenario example, the logistics list number is used to identify the corresponding item, and the logistics list number can also be used as the item identification of the item, or the package identification of the package.

In the present scenario example, when a delivery person delivers the item to a locker of a cell, the delivery person opens a delivery person client and sends a query request to a server to query for status information of the locker near the delivery person. And after receiving the query request, the server feeds back the state information of the corresponding locker.

In the present scenario example, the carrier attaches the location information of the carrier when sending the query request. And the server calculates the position information of the storage cabinet stored by the server according to the position information and screens the storage cabinet information within 200 meters. The locker information comprises an identifier of the locker and corresponding state information. The server sends the information obtained by screening and the data information according to the third-party server, such as a map navigation server, to the delivery person client. So that the delivery person client presents the corresponding information to the user. Please refer to fig. 3. The carrier client may present a corresponding map with the carrier's location marked on the map, along with nearby locker identifications and locations.

In this scenario example, the delivery person client may also display different colors for the status corresponding to the locker according to the received status information. Specifically, the client responds according to the received identifier of the storage cabinet sent by the server and the corresponding state information, and obtains a preset color to display the identifier of the corresponding storage cabinet. If the received state information of the locker is in the idle state, the client presets the color of the locker identification to be green, so that the delivery person client displays that the color of the locker identification in the idle state is green. When the received state information of the locker is in the occupied state, the client presets the color of the locker identification to be red, so that the delivery person client displays that the locker identification in the occupied state is red. When the received state information of the locker is in the open state, the client presets the color of the locker identification to be yellow, so that the delivery person client displays that the locker identification in the open state is yellow.

In this scenario example, in the filtered locker identifier set, the server calculates and determines the locker identifier of the locker closest to the delivery person, to mark the locker identifier, and sends the locker identifier to the delivery person client, so that the delivery person client identifies the locker closest to the delivery person. Referring to fig. 3, in the present scenario example, the locker 001 is closest to the delivery person, and the server identifies it so that the client displays the corresponding information.

Please refer to fig. 4. In this scenario example, the delivery person, after receiving the information fed back from the server, presses the locker identifier "001" of the empty locker displayed on the delivery person client. After receiving the operation, the delivery person client pops up "whether to send an unlocking request", and the delivery person clicks "yes". The deliverer client sends an unlocking request for the locker identification "001" to the server.

In this scenario example, the cabinet lock corresponds to a locker, and correspondingly, the locker identification corresponds to the cabinet lock identification. The cabinet lock identification corresponding to locker identification "001" is "a". In this scenario example, after receiving the unlocking request, the server matches the locker identifier attached to the unlocking request to obtain the corresponding locker lock identifier. And according to the cabinet lock identification, the server sends an unlocking instruction to the cabinet lock represented by the cabinet lock identification.

In this scenario example, after receiving the unlocking instruction, the cabinet lock executes a corresponding operation to drive the lock body of the cabinet lock to be opened, so that the lock body is in an unlocked state, and the cabinet door of the locker is opened. After the goods delivery person puts the user in the locker to buy the goods, the door of the locker is closed, and the locker body is in a locked state.

In this scenario example, after the delivery person puts the user in the box to purchase the item, the delivery person client sends the box information to the server to represent that the delivery person has completed delivery work for the item, and the box information is accompanied by an item identifier (logistics list number) of the item and a put-in locker identifier "001". After receiving the locker entering information, the server establishes a mapping relation between the article identifier of the article and the locker identifier so as to bind the locker and the article. Correspondingly, the server marks the state information as an occupied state to indicate that the locker is in the occupied state.

In this scenario example, after receiving the locker entering information, the server determines, according to the order corresponding to the logistics order number, user information corresponding to the order, and sends notification information to the corresponding user client to notify the user that the item purchased by the user has been put into the locker. The notification information is attached with a corresponding locker identification so that a user can conveniently find the locker through the locker identification.

In this scenario example, after receiving the notification information, the user client presents the corresponding information to the user. Please refer to fig. 5. The user may click "request for opening the cabinet" to send an unlock request to the server. In this scenario example, the user clicks the "request for opening" button after locker identifications "001" and "006", respectively.

In this scenario example, the unlocking request sent by the user client is accompanied by the location information of the user client. And after receiving the unlocking request, the server judges the distance between the position information of the user client and the locker pointed by the unlocking request. In the example of the scenario, the distance between the position of the user when sending the unlocking request and the pointed locker is less than 20 meters, and the locker opening condition is met. And the server sends a cabinet opening instruction to the corresponding cabinet lock under the condition that the cabinet opening condition is judged to be met. The locker corresponding to "001" and "006" is opened. The user takes the article away and closes the door. And the server updates the corresponding locker state information.

In another example scenario, the user takes the item and lets others take it instead. The user uses the user client to send an unlock request to the server. And the server calculates the distance between the position information of the user client attached to the unlocking request and the pointed locker, and the calculated distance is 800 meters and exceeds the preset distance range by 20 meters. And the server sends a verification request to the user client to inquire whether the user continues to open the cabinet. And the user clicks 'yes' to enable the user client to feed back information for confirming continuous opening of the cabinet to the server.

In this scenario example, when the server receives the feedback information of the user client to continue to open the cabinet, the server sends a cabinet opening instruction to the corresponding cabinet lock, so that the corresponding cabinet lock is in an unlocked state, and the cabinet door of the storage cabinet is opened. The user is helped to take the articles out of the cabinet instead of the person taking the articles out of the cabinet and the cabinet door is closed. And the server updates the corresponding locker state information.

The implementation scenario described above provides a scenario in which a friend replaces an item. When the user uses the client to send the unlocking request, the position of the client is far away from the position of the corresponding locker, and the server can send verification information to confirm. Meanwhile, misoperation of a user can be prevented, and when the user does not arrive near the corresponding storage cabinet, the cabinet door of the storage cabinet is opened.

In another example scenario, after receiving the locker entering information, the server determines user information corresponding to the order according to the order corresponding to the logistics order number, and sends notification information to the corresponding user client to notify the user that the goods purchased by the user have been put into the locker.

In this scenario, when the user gets an item, the user finds the corresponding locker according to the notification information received by the user client. And the user uses the user client to scan the two-dimensional code on the locker, generates an unlocking request and sends the unlocking request to the server. The unlocking request is attached with user information and identification information represented by the two-dimensional code of the storage cabinet. When receiving an unlocking request sent by a client, the server verifies the information attached to the unlocking request and verifies whether the unlocking request meets the unlocking requirement.

In this scenario example, the server verification is successful. And the server sends a cabinet opening instruction to the cabinet lock of the corresponding storage cabinet, so that the corresponding cabinet lock is in an unlocked state, and the cabinet door of the storage cabinet is opened.

In another scenario example, a user goes to pick an item. When a user uses the user client to scan the two-dimensional codes on the storage cabinet, the two-dimensional codes on the other storage cabinet are scanned by mistake, and an unlocking request is generated and sent to the server. The unlocking request is attached with user information and identification information represented by the two-dimensional code of the storage cabinet. When receiving an unlocking request sent by a client, the server verifies the information attached to the unlocking request and verifies whether the unlocking request meets the unlocking requirement.

In this scenario example, the user's corresponding locker identification should be "001", and the scanned is the two-dimensional code of the locker of "002". And when the server carries out verification on the user information attached to the unlocking request and the identification information represented by the two-dimensional code of the locker, the verification fails. And returning the information of unlocking failure to the client.

In another specific example scenario, a cell provides multiple lockers for easy access to items purchased by a user. Each locker may have a respective identifier. For example: 001. 002, 003, etc. Each locker corresponds to a locker lock. In this scenario example, the locker identification of the server-side corresponding locker is also used as the identification of the corresponding locker lock. The cabinet lock can receive the control of the delivery person client side and control the delivery person client side to be in a locking state and an unlocking state; in the locked state, the cabinet lock obstructs opening of a cabinet door of the storage cabinet; in the unlocked state, the cabinet lock relieves the obstruction to the cabinet door. The locker lock may also send status information to the delivery person client and server via its network communication unit to characterize the status of the locker. Correspondingly, the server can update the state information of the locker of the cell in real time.

In this scenario example, a user purchases an item on the web. The delivery person observes the indicator lights on the locker when the delivery person delivers the item to the locker at the cell. When the indicator light is red, the indicator light indicates that the storage cabinet is in an occupied state, and when the indicator light is green, the indicator light indicates that the storage cabinet is in an empty state. In this scenario example, the indicator light on the locker with locker identification "001" displays green. And the delivery person initiates a pairing request to the cabinet lock of the locker through the delivery person client, wherein the pairing request is accompanied with the identity information of the delivery person client. And when the locker receives the pairing request, verifying the identity information. After the verification is passed, the pairing is successful, and the delivery person client side can perform data interaction with the cabinet lock.

In this scenario example, after the delivery person client successfully pairs with the cabinet lock via bluetooth, the delivery person sends an unlocking request to the cabinet lock via the delivery person client, so that the cabinet lock drives the lock body to be opened, and the lock body is in an unlocked state.

In this scenario example, after the delivery person puts in the item, the delivery person sends the corresponding locker identifier and item identifier to the server, so that the server binds the locker identifier and item identifier, and sends notification information to the corresponding user.

The above scenario example may implement requesting the locker lock of the locker to be opened through the near field communication technology.

In another specific example scenario, a cell provides multiple lockers for easy access to items purchased by a user. Each locker may have a respective identifier. Each locker corresponds to a locker lock which can receive the control of the delivery person client and is in a locking state and an unlocking state; in the locked state, the cabinet lock obstructs opening of a cabinet door of the storage cabinet; in the unlocked state, the cabinet lock relieves the obstruction to the cabinet door. The locker lock may also send status information to the delivery person client and server via its network communication unit to characterize the status of the locker. Correspondingly, the server can update the state information of the locker of the cell in real time.

In this scenario example, a user purchases an item on the web. When the delivery person delivers the item to the cell's locker, the delivery person uses the delivery person client to poll nearby locker locks to query each locker for status information in turn. In the state information of the locker acquired by the delivery person client, the locker with the locker identification '001' displays that the locker is in an empty state. According to the NFC approach communication technology, a delivery person uses a delivery person client to send an unlocking request to a storage cabinet with a storage cabinet identifier of '001'. The unlocking request is accompanied with the identity information of the delivery person. After the cabinet lock of the locker with the locker identification '001' receives the unlocking request, the cabinet lock is in an unlocking state, and the identity information of the unlocked delivery person is recorded for the server to check.

In another specific example scenario, a cell provides multiple lockers for easy access to items purchased by a user. Each locker may have a respective identifier. For example: 001. 002, 003, etc. Each locker corresponds to a locker lock. In this scenario example, the locker identification of the server-side corresponding locker is also used as the identification of the corresponding locker lock.

And the router determines the corresponding appointed cabinet lock according to the configuration list, sends an unlocking instruction to the corresponding appointed cabinet lock, and controls the cabinet lock to be in an unlocking state.

In this scenario example, after the cabinet lock receives the unlocking instruction sent by the router, the cabinet lock drives the lock body of the cabinet lock to be opened, so that the cabinet lock is in an unlocked state.

Please refer to fig. 6. The embodiment of the specification further provides a locker control method which is applied to a client side and can comprise the following steps.

Step S10: receiving a locker identification of a locker sent by a server; the locker identification is used for representing a locker.

In this embodiment, the storage cabinet may be a cabinet having a certain space for storing articles. Specifically, for example, a storage cabinet for receiving express in a community; or a storage cabinet for storing articles when shopping in a supermarket.

In this embodiment, the locker identification is used to indicate the locker. Specifically, the locker identification may be a number, a letter, or the like. The server may store the locker identification to represent the corresponding locker. And the user can find the corresponding locker according to the locker identification.

In this embodiment, the user may receive, through the client, the locker identifier of the locker sent by the server. Specifically, for example, the client may receive input from a user to send a query request to the server for a locker identifier. And when receiving the query request, the server sends the locker identification of the locker to the client.

In this embodiment, the client and the server may perform data interaction, and may transmit or receive data information through a specific protocol. Specifically, for example, the transmission may be performed by a Protocol such as a TCP/IP Protocol (transmission control Protocol/Internet Protocol) or a HyperText transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Step S12: and determining the locker in the idle state according to the received locker identification.

In this embodiment, a locker in an empty state is identified. Specifically, for example, the locker identification sent by the server includes the locker in the idle state and the lockers in other states, and the server marks the locker identification of the locker in the idle state. And the client determines the locker corresponding to the marked locker identification as the locker in the vacant state. For another example, the server only sends the locker identifier of the locker in the idle state, and the client determines the locker corresponding to the received locker identifier as the locker in the idle state. For another example, when the server sends the locker identifier, the server also sends the state information of the corresponding locker. Please refer to the following table. And the server adds the state information attribute to the locker corresponding to the locker identifier, so that the client determines the locker with the state information of 'vacant state' as the locker in the vacant state according to the received information.

Locker identification	Status information
			001	Occupancy state
002	Empty state
		……	……

Step S14: receiving a user input; and the locker identification of the locker in the idle state pointed by the user input is the target locker identification.

In this embodiment, the user input is used to select a target locker identification. The user input may include a preset operation of the user on the client interface. If the force of pressing the screen of the device by the user is greater than the preset threshold value, determining that the corresponding locker identifier is pressed as the target locker identifier. Of course, the user may also determine the target locker identification by shaking the client device. The user input may also include receiving an external device generated signal, etc. For example, gesture operation information of the VR device is received. The user input may also include the receipt or change of a sound signal. For example, the reception of a voice signal, the sound attribute value being greater than a preset attribute value, etc. It should be noted that the manner of the user input is not limited to the above examples, and other modifications are possible for those skilled in the art in light of the technical spirit of the present application, and all that can be achieved is encompassed in the scope of the present application as long as the functions and effects achieved by the present application are the same or similar. The target locker identification is used for representing the locker identification pointed by the user input.

Step S16: sending an unlocking request to the server; the target locker identification is attached to the unlocking request, so that the server sends an unlocking instruction to the locker lock corresponding to the target locker identification, and the locker lock corresponding to the target locker is in an unlocking state.

In this embodiment, the unlocking request is used to request unlocking of the cabinet lock corresponding to the target locker identifier. In this embodiment, the server may send an unlocking instruction to the cabinet lock corresponding to the target locker identifier according to the target locker identifier attached to the unlocking request. When the cabinet lock corresponding to the target locker receives the unlocking instruction, the lock body of the cabinet lock is driven to unlock, so that the target locker is in an unlocking state.

In this embodiment, an unlocking request is transmitted to the server. Specifically, the client sends an unlocking request to the server when the user input reaches a preset operation. For example, for a target locker identification, the user clicks "request to unlock". For another example, the user may input "request to unlock 001 # locker" by voice, etc. to reach the trigger condition. And will not be described in detail herein.

Through the embodiment, the storage cabinet can be controlled through the client side, and the storage cabinet does not need to be managed through the storage cabinet main cabinet.

In one embodiment, the locker corresponding to the locker identifier sent by the server is in an empty state; correspondingly, in the step of determining the locker in the vacant state, the locker corresponding to the received locker identification is taken as the locker in the vacant state.

In this embodiment, the locker corresponding to the locker identifier sent by the server is in an empty state. Specifically, the server may obtain, by screening according to the state information of the locker, a locker identifier of the locker in an empty state, and send the locker identifier to the client. Correspondingly, in the step of determining the locker in the vacant state, the client takes the locker corresponding to the received locker identification as the locker in the vacant state.

Through the implementation mode, a user can conveniently inquire the storage cabinet. For example, a delivery person may only want to know which storage cabinets are empty when delivering a delivery. Through above-mentioned embodiment, can improve delivery person work efficiency.

In one embodiment, the locker corresponding to the locker identifier sent by the server is in an occupied state; correspondingly, in the step of determining the locker in the idle state, after the locker identifier in the occupied state is removed from the stored locker identifier set, the locker corresponding to the rest locker identifier is taken as the locker in the idle state.

In this embodiment, the locker corresponding to the locker identifier sent by the server is in an occupied state. Specifically, the server may only send the locker identifier of the locker in the occupied state. Correspondingly, in the step of determining the locker in the idle state, after the locker identifier in the occupied state is removed from the stored locker identifier set, the locker corresponding to the rest locker identifier is taken as the locker in the idle state. Specifically, the client side may store a locker identifier of a locker in the corresponding region. After receiving the locker identification sent by the server, the client matches the received locker identification with the stored locker identification. And when the matching is successful, marking is carried out, and the locker represented by the marked locker identification is in an occupied state. And the client determines the locker corresponding to the unmarked locker identification as the locker in the vacant state.

Through the above embodiment, the storage cabinet states are the vacant state and the occupied state, and the client can take the storage cabinet corresponding to the rest storage cabinet identifications as the storage cabinet in the vacant state by receiving the storage cabinet identifications of the storage cabinet in the occupied state. Therefore, the storage cabinet identifier corresponding to the storage cabinet in the occupied state and the storage cabinet in the vacant state can be distinguished.

In one embodiment, the method may further comprise the steps of: and receiving the state information of the locker sent by the server, wherein the state information indicates that the corresponding locker is in an occupied state or an empty state.

In this embodiment, the occupied status identifies that the locker is in an occupied status, and the locker has stored items therein. The storage cabinet in the empty state marks that no articles are stored in the storage cabinet and can be used.

In this embodiment, the server may establish a mapping relationship between the state information and the locker identifier, so that the state information corresponds to the locker identifier to represent the corresponding locker. For example, for a locker, the server may be provided with a locker identifier and may also be provided with a status attribute, and the status attribute includes status information to indicate the status of the locker.

In this embodiment, the server may acquire the corresponding status information by sending the status information corresponding to the locker to the server through the locker lock, or the server may process the acquired status information according to a signal sent by the locker lock to the server, or the server may process the acquired status information according to data information sent by the user to the server. For example, a delivery person may close the door after placing an item. At this time, the cabinet lock sends the state information "occupied state" to the server, so that the server updates the state information of the corresponding cabinet. For another example, each time the server side receives a signal that the cabinet lock is locked, the server side switches the state information once, and the state information includes an "empty state" and an "occupied state". For example, after the delivery person has placed the item, the door is closed. At this time, the cabinet lock sends a signal that the cabinet lock is locked to the server, and the server converts the corresponding state information from the "vacant state" to the "occupied state". Similarly, when the user takes the article away, the cabinet lock can also send a signal that the cabinet lock is locked to the server. The server changes the corresponding state information from the occupied state to the vacant state. Of course, the server may process the received data information sent by the client to obtain the status information. For example, after the delivery person puts the articles into the locker, the delivery person sends information to the server through the client, which indicates that the articles have been put into the corresponding locker. And after receiving the information, the server updates the state information of the pointed locker to be in an occupied state. Of course, other modifications are possible in light of the above teachings and may be practiced by those skilled in the art, and it is within the scope of the appended claims if they perform the same or similar function or effect as the present application.

Through the implementation, the client can determine the locker in the vacant state according to the received locker identification and the state information. The user can also check the state information of the locker through the client.

After receiving the data, the server may send an instruction corresponding to the indicator to the cabinet lock, so that the indicator displays red color, and the like.

The embodiments in the specification are all described in a progressive mode, the same and similar parts among the embodiments can be referred to each other, and each embodiment focuses on the difference between the other embodiments.

The server in the embodiments of the present specification may be an electronic device having a certain arithmetic processing capability. Which may have network communication terminals, a processor, memory, etc. Of course, the server may also refer to software running in the electronic device. The server may be a distributed server, and may be a system having a plurality of processors, memories, network communication modules, and the like that cooperate with one another.

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 popular applications. 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.

Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that, in addition to implementing a client, server as pure computer readable program code, the same functionality can be implemented by logically programming method steps such that the client, server are in the form of logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits, programmable logic controllers, embedded microcontrollers and the like. Such a client, server may be considered as a hardware component, and the means included therein for implementing 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.

From the above description of the embodiments, it is clear to those skilled in the art that the present specification can be implemented by software plus a necessary general hardware platform. Based on such understanding, the technical solutions of the present specification may be embodied in the form of a software product, which may be stored in a storage medium, such as a ROM/RAM, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, or the like, and includes instructions for causing a computer device (which may be a personal computer, a server, or a network device) to execute the method according to the embodiments or some parts of the embodiments of the present specification.

The embodiments in the present specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same and similar parts among the embodiments can be referred to each other, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from the other embodiments. In particular, embodiments of a server, a user client, a computer storage medium may be explained with reference to the introduction of embodiments of the aforementioned method.

This description may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by a computer. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. The specification may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote computer storage media including memory storage devices.

While the specification has been described with respect to the embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are numerous variations and permutations of the specification that fall within the spirit and scope of the specification, and it is intended that the appended claims include such variations and modifications as fall within the spirit and scope of the specification.
