Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an activation control system 100, according to one embodiment of the present invention. The activation control system 100 is used to control activation of clients based on activation codes.
As shown in FIG. 1, the activation control system 100 includes one or more clients 110, a load balancing server 150, and one or more activation servers 200. Wherein the load balancing server 150 is respectively connected with one or more activation servers 200 in a communication manner, and one or more clients 110 can establish a communication connection with the load balancing server 150, for example, through a network connection in a wired or wireless manner. Here, the present invention does not limit the specific connection manner between the load balancing server 150 and the activation server 200 and the client 110.
The client 110 is a terminal device used by a user and installed with an operating system and needing to activate the operating system, and may specifically be a personal computer such as a desktop computer and a notebook computer, or may also be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a multimedia device, an intelligent wearable device, and the like, but is not limited thereto.
The activation server 200 is used for controlling activation of the operating system by one or more clients 110, and controlling the activation state of the operating system in the clients 110. The system can be realized as a computing device such as a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a processor chip, a mobile phone, a tablet computer and the like, and also can be realized as a system consisting of a plurality of computing devices.
In one embodiment, the client 110 may obtain local hardware information and send an activation request based on the hardware information, where the activation request is, for example, but not limited to, a request for activating an operating system in the client, and may also be a request for activating an application program resident in the client. The activation request includes, in addition to hardware information of the client 110, authentication information that requires authentication of the client at the time of activation.
It should be noted that, in the following embodiments of the present invention, only the activation control of the operating system in the client 110 is taken as an example, and the activation control scheme of the present invention is described in an expansion manner. However, the present invention is not limited to activation control of an operating system, and in some embodiments, the activation control scheme of the present invention may also be used to control activation of applications resident in client 110.
The load balancing server 200 may receive an activation request for the operating system from a client 110 and distribute the activation request to an appropriate target activation server to process the activation request. When receiving an online activation request of a client 110, the load balancing server 200 determines the most idle activation server 200 according to a load balancing algorithm, uses the activation server 200 as a target activation server corresponding to the client 110, and forwards the online activation request to the target activation server 200, so that the target activation server 200 processes the online activation request of the client 110 and controls activation of an operating system in the client 110. It should be noted that the load balancing algorithm employed by the load balancing server 200 is not particularly limited, and it is within the scope of the present invention to implement an algorithm for determining the most idle active server from a plurality of active servers according to the current load of each active server.
In one embodiment, the online activation request includes hardware information of the client 110 and authentication information, the hardware information including, for example, but not limited to, one or more of a motherboard identification number, a CPU identification number, a hard disk identification number, and a MAC address.
When processing the online activation request of the client 110, the target activation server 200 first verifies the verification information of the client 110, obtains the activation information corresponding to the verification information after the verification is passed, and returns the activation information to the client 110, so that the client 110 activates the operating system based on the activation information and uses the activated operating system online. Here, the activation information is, for example, an activation code.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the system 100 further includes a data storage device 130, where the data storage device 130 may be a local database residing in the activation server 200, or may be disposed at a plurality of geographic locations as a distributed database, such as HBase, and in short, the data storage device 130 is used for storing data, and the specific deployment and configuration conditions of the data storage device 130 are not limited by the present invention. Each activation server 200 may connect to the data storage device 130 and retrieve data stored in the data storage device 130. For example, the activation server 200 may directly read the data in the data storage device 130 (when the data storage device 130 is a local database of the activation server 200), or may access the internet in a wired or wireless manner and obtain the data in the data storage device 130 through a data interface.
The data storage device 130 stores activation information, and after the authentication information of the client passes, the activation server 200 may obtain the activation information corresponding to the authentication information from the data storage device 130 and send the activation information to the client 110.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, one or more clients 110 may share one activation information to activate the operating system. In other words, each activation information may be associated with one or more clients 110, and the activation information may be used by those associated clients 110. Moreover, each activation information-associated client 110 has a number limit, the number of clients associated with each activation information cannot exceed a threshold, and when the number of clients 110 associated with one activation information reaches the threshold, the activation information is in an occupied state with a zero pending denomination and cannot be used by other clients 110. In addition, each activation information also has a corresponding expiration date, and the client 110 associated with the activation information can only use the activation information within the expiration date.
In one embodiment, after acquiring the activation information, the client 110 returns the acquired activation information to the target activation server 200 via the load balancing server 150. After receiving the activation information returned by the client, the target activation server 200 may establish an association relationship between the activation information and the client, and may store the activation information and the association relationship between the activation information and the client 110 in the data storage device 130. Here, when the target activation server 200 establishes the association relationship between the activation information and the client 110, the activation information is in a state of being used by the client 110, and the client 110 occupies a use denomination of the activation information.
It should be noted that after the load balancing server 150 determines the target activation server 200 corresponding to the client 110, the client 110 establishes a long connection with the target activation server 200 through the load balancing server 150, and performs data transmission based on the load balancing server 150 and the target activation server 200.
In one embodiment, the target activation server 200 may monitor the connection status of the client 110 in real time, and when it is determined that the client is disconnected from the activation server, if the client 110 does not request offline activation, the target activation server may retrieve the activation information of the client 110 and cancel the association relationship between the activation information and the client 110.
In one embodiment, after the client 110 activates its operating system online based on the activation information, when there is an offline use demand, the client 110 may send an offline activation request to acquire an offline activation right, so that the operating system activated based on the activation information can be used continuously in an offline state disconnected from the activation server 200. Specifically, the load balancing server 150 receives the offline activation request sent by the client 110 and forwards the offline activation request to the previously determined target activation server 200, that is, the offline activation request of the client 110 is also sent to the target activation server 200, and the offline activation request of the client 110 is processed by the target activation server 200.
Upon determining that the client 110 has offline activation rights, the target activation server 200 returns an offline activation message to the client 110. Here, the offline activation message includes activation information, offline use time, offline use expiration time point, and the like. Based on the acquired offline activation message, the client 110 can use the activation information in an offline state disconnected from the activation server during the offline use time, that is, use the activated operating system offline.
In one embodiment, the activation server 200 of the present invention is adapted to execute the activation control method 300 to process an activation request of the client 110, and to control activation of an operating system in the client 110. The activation control method 300 of the present invention will be described in detail below.
In one embodiment, the activation server 200 of the present invention may be implemented as a computing device such that the activation control method of the present invention may be executed in the computing device.
FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a computing device 200, according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 2, in a basic configuration 202, a computing device 200 typically includes a system memory 206 and one or more processors 204. A memory bus 208 may be used for communication between the processor 204 and the system memory 206.
Depending on the desired configuration, the processor 204 may be any type of processing, including but not limited to: a microprocessor (UP), a microcontroller (UC), a digital information processor (DSP), or any combination thereof. The processor 204 may include one or more levels of cache, such as a level one cache 210 and a level two cache 212, a processor core 214, and registers 216. Example processor cores 214 may include Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs), Floating Point Units (FPUs), digital signal processing cores (DSP cores), or any combination thereof. The example memory controller 218 may be used with the processor 204, or in some implementations the memory controller 218 may be an internal part of the processor 204.
Depending on the desired configuration, system memory 206 may be any type of memory, including but not limited to: volatile memory (such as RAM), non-volatile memory (such as ROM, flash memory, etc.), or any combination thereof. System memory 106 may include an operating system 220, one or more applications 222, and program data 224. The application 222 is actually a plurality of program instructions that direct the processor 204 to perform corresponding operations. In some embodiments, application 222 may be arranged to cause processor 204 to operate with program data 224 on an operating system.
Computing device 200 also includes storage device 232, storage device 232 including removable storage 236 and non-removable storage 238.
Computing device 200 may also include a storage interface bus 234. The storage interface bus 234 enables communication from the storage devices 232 (e.g., removable storage 236 and non-removable storage 238) to the basic configuration 202 via the bus/interface controller 230. At least a portion of the operating system 220, applications 222, and data 224 may be stored on removable storage 236 and/or non-removable storage 238, and loaded into system memory 206 via storage interface bus 234 and executed by the one or more processors 204 when the computing device 200 is powered on or the applications 222 are to be executed.
Computing device 200 may also include an interface bus 240 that facilitates communication from various interface devices (e.g., output devices 242, peripheral interfaces 244, and communication devices 246) to the basic configuration 202 via the bus/interface controller 230. The example output device 242 includes a graphics processing unit 248 and an audio processing unit 250. They may be configured to facilitate communication with various external devices, such as a display or speakers, via one or more a/V ports 252. Example peripheral interfaces 244 can include a serial interface controller 254 and a parallel interface controller 256, which can be configured to facilitate communications with external devices such as input devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse, pen, voice input device, touch input device) or other peripherals (e.g., printer, scanner, etc.) via one or more I/O ports 258. An example communication device 246 may include a network controller 260, which may be arranged to facilitate communications with one or more other computing devices 262 over a network communication link via one or more communication ports 264.
A network communication link may be one example of a communication medium. Communication media may typically be embodied by computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, and may include any information delivery media, such as carrier waves or other transport mechanisms, in a modulated data signal. A "modulated data signal" may be a signal that has one or more of its data set or its changes made in a manner that encodes information in the signal. By way of non-limiting example, communication media may include wired media such as a wired network or private-wired network, and various wireless media such as acoustic, Radio Frequency (RF), microwave, infrared (I R), or other wireless media. The term computer readable media as used herein may include both storage media and communication media.
In a computing device 200 according to the present invention, the application 222 includes a plurality of program instructions that execute the activation control method 300, which may instruct the processor 204 to perform the activation control method 300 of the present invention, such that the computing device 200 controls activation of the operating system in the client 110 by executing the activation control method 300 of the present invention.
FIG. 3 shows a flow diagram of an activation control method 300 according to one embodiment of the invention. The method 300 is suitable for execution in an activation server 200, such as the aforementioned computing device 200.
As shown in fig. 3, the method 300 begins at step S310.
In step S310, an online activation request of the client 110 is received, where the online activation request includes hardware information and authentication information of the client 110. When sending the online activation request, the client 110 first obtains local hardware information, where the hardware information includes, for example, but not limited to, one or more of a motherboard identification number, a CPU identification number, a hard disk identification number, and a MAC address.
Subsequently, in step S320, the authentication information of the client is authenticated, and after the authentication is passed, the activation information corresponding to the authentication information is acquired from the data storage device, and it is determined whether the activation information corresponding to the authentication information is valid. The activation information is, for example, an activation code. Here, if the verification of the verification information is not passed, a message of verification failure is returned to the client 110, and the present activation event is ended.
It should be noted that one or more clients 110 may share one activation information to activate the operating system. In other words, each activation information may be associated with one or more clients 110, and the activation information may be used by those associated clients 110. Moreover, each activation information-associated client 110 has a number limit, the number of clients associated with each activation information cannot exceed a threshold, and when the number of clients 110 associated with one activation information reaches the threshold, the activation information is in an occupied state with a zero pending denomination and cannot be used by other clients 110. In addition, each activation information also has a corresponding expiration date, and the client 110 associated with the activation information can only use the activation information within the expiration date.
Based on the above, when judging whether the activation information corresponding to the verification information is valid, specifically, judging whether the activation information is already in an occupied state, and if so, judging that the activation information is invalid; in addition, it is also determined whether the activation information is still within the valid period, and if not, it is determined that the activation information is invalid. Accordingly, if the activation information is not in the occupied state and the activation information is within the valid period, it is determined that the activation information is valid.
In step S330, if it is determined that the activation information is valid, an identity for uniquely identifying the client identity is generated based on the hardware information of the client 110, and the activation information is transmitted to the client 110 corresponding to the identity based on the client identity. Subsequently, the client 110 may perform online activation on its operating system based on the activation information, and use the activated operating system online. The client 110 also returns the activation information it obtained to the activation server 200.
Subsequently, in step S340, the activation server 200 receives the activation information returned by the client 110, establishes an association relationship between the activation information and the client, and stores the activation information, the association relationship between the activation information and the client in the data storage device 130. Here, after the activation server 200 establishes the association relationship between the activation information and the client 110, the activation information is in a state of being used by the client 110, and the client 110 occupies a use denomination of the activation information.
It should be noted that, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the client 110 can use the operating system in the active state after the operating system is activated online based on the activation information in the case of establishing a communication connection (long connection) with the activation server 200. After the client 110 activates the operating system online based on the activation information, if the client 110 is disconnected from the activation server 200 for a long time, i.e., is in an offline state, the activation server 200 will retrieve the activation information that the client 110 has acquired. That is, the client 110 cannot continue to use the active information and the active operating system in the offline state.
Based on this, after the client 110 activates its operating system based on the activation information, the activation server 200 also monitors the connection state of the client 110 in real time, and determines whether the client 110 is disconnected from the activation server 200, that is, whether the client 110 is currently in an offline state.
Finally, in step S350, the connection status of the client 110 is monitored in real time, and when it is determined that the client is disconnected from the activation server 200 and is in the offline status, the activation server 200 will retrieve the activation information that the client 110 previously used for activation. The activation server 200 recovers the activation information to a state unused by the client 110 by canceling the association relationship between the activation information and the client 110, thereby recovering the activation information of the client 110, so as to provide the usage name of the client 110 to other clients 110, and enable other clients 110 to use the activation information. Therefore, the use permission of the activation information can be fully utilized, and the use efficiency of the activation information is improved.
According to an embodiment, after step S330, that is, after the client 110 activates its operating system online based on the activation information, when the client 110 has an offline use requirement, an offline activation request may be further sent to the activation server 200 to request to acquire an offline activation right, so that the operating system activated based on the activation information can be continuously used in an offline state disconnected from the activation server 200.
According to one embodiment, the offline activation request includes user information for the client 110. After receiving the offline activation request of the client 110, the activation server 200 first determines whether to allow the client 110 to be offline activated according to the user information, in other words, determines whether the client 110 has the offline activation right according to the user information. If it is determined that the client 110 has offline activation rights, an offline activation message is returned to the client 110. Here, the offline activation message includes activation information, offline use time, offline use expiration time point, and the like. Based on the acquired offline activation message, the client 110 can use the activation information in an offline state in which the client 110 is disconnected from the activation server during the offline use time, that is, use the operating system activated based on the activation information offline.
It should be understood that after the client 110 acquires the offline activation right, even if the client 110 is disconnected from the activation server 200 and is in an offline state, the activation server 200 does not recover the activation information acquired when the client 110 is online activated, and continues to maintain the association state of the activation information and the client 110.
According to one embodiment, one or more activation servers 200 are connected to the client 110 through the load balancing server 150, and the activation request sent by the client 110 is forwarded to the activation servers 200 through the load balancing server 150. Specifically, when the client 110 sends an online activation request, the load balancing server 150 receives the online activation request sent by the client 110, then determines a most idle activation server from one or more activation servers 200 connected thereto according to a load balancing algorithm, takes the most idle activation server as a target activation server, and forwards the online activation request of the client 110 to the target activation server, and the target activation server processes the online activation request of the client 110 to control the activation of the operating system by the client 110. It should be noted that the load balancing algorithm employed by the load balancing server 200 is not particularly limited, and it is within the scope of the present invention to implement an algorithm for determining the most idle active server from a plurality of active servers according to the current load of each active server.
After determining the target activation server 200, the client 110 establishes a long connection with the target activation server 200 through the load balancing server 150, and performs data transmission with the target activation server 200 based on the load balancing server 150. The target activation server may monitor the connection state of the client 110 in real time, and when it is determined that the client is disconnected from the activation server, if the client 110 does not request offline activation, the target activation server may acquire the activation information of the client 110 and cancel the association relationship between the activation information and the client 110.
Moreover, when the client 110 sends the offline activation request, the load balancing server 150 receives the offline activation request and forwards the offline activation request to the previously determined target activation server, so that the offline activation request of the client 110 is also sent to the target activation server, and the target activation server processes the offline activation request of the client 110.
That is, in the above steps, the activation server receives the online activation request and the offline activation request of the client 110, and actually, the target activation server receives the client-to-operating-system activation request forwarded by the load balancing server 150, that is, the activation request of the client 110 distributed by the load balancing server 150 is obtained.
According to the activation control method, the activation server can distribute the activation code of the operating system to one or more clients on line, and the clients can use the activation code on line after the operating system is activated. And when the activation server monitors that the client is in an offline state disconnected from the activation server, the activation code of the offline client is recycled, so that the use right of the activation code is distributed to other clients for use. Therefore, the activation code is recovered off line, the property right of the operating system can be protected, the activation code can be utilized to the maximum extent, the activation code resource is saved, the cost is saved, and the use efficiency of the activation code is improved.
Further, according to the activation control scheme of the present invention, the client may apply for offline activation to the activation server when there is an offline use requirement, so as to obtain an offline activation use right. In this way, the client can use the activated operating system based on the activation information in offline use time of the application. Therefore, the activation control scheme of the invention can meet various use requirements of users under the condition of protecting the property right of the operating system.
