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 invention. The activation control system 100 is used to control the activation of the client based on the activation code.
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 communicatively coupled to one or more activation servers 200, respectively, and one or more clients 110 may establish a communication connection with the load balancing server 150, such as by a wired or wireless network connection. Here, the present invention is not limited to a specific connection manner between the load balancing server 150 and the activation server 200 and the client 110.
The client 110, i.e. a terminal device used by a user and provided with an operating system and requiring activation of the operating system, may specifically be a personal computer such as a desktop computer or a notebook computer, or may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a multimedia device, an intelligent wearable device, or 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 activation states 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 can also 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, a request for activating an operating system in the client, but is not limited to this, and may also be a request for activating an application program residing in the client. The activation request includes, in addition to the hardware information of the client 110, authentication information that needs to authenticate the client at the time of activation.
In the following embodiments of the present invention, the activation control scheme of the present invention will be described only by taking activation control of an operating system in the client 110 as an example. 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 residing in client 110.
The load balancing server 200 may receive an activation request from the client 110 for the operating system and distribute the activation request to the appropriate target activation server to process the activation request. When the load balancing server 200 receives the online activation request of the client 110, it determines the most idle activation server 200 according to the 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 the operating system in the client 110. It should be noted that the load balancing algorithm adopted by the load balancing server 200 is not particularly limited, so long as the algorithm of determining the most idle active server from the plurality of active servers according to the current load of each active server is realized, and the algorithm is within the protection scope of the present invention.
In one embodiment, the online activation request includes hardware information of the client 110 including, but not limited to, one or more of a motherboard identification number, a CPU identification number, a hard disk identification number, a MAC address, and authentication information, for example.
When processing an online activation request of the client 110, the target activation server 200 firstly verifies the verification information of the client 110, acquires 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 an 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 a distributed database, such as HBase, disposed at a plurality of geographic locations, and in summary, the data storage device 130 is used to store data, and the specific deployment and configuration of the data storage device 130 is not limited by the present invention. Each activation server 200 may be connected 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 through 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 therein the activation information, and the activation server 200 may acquire the activation information corresponding to the authentication information from the data storage device 130 and transmit the activation information to the client 110 after the authentication information of the client passes.
It should be noted that, in an 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. And, each client 110 associated with the activation information has a number limitation, 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 to-be-used name of zero, and cannot be used by other clients 110. In addition, each activation information also has a corresponding validity period, and the client 110 associated with the activation information can only use the activation information during the validity period.
In one embodiment, after acquiring the activation information, the client 110 also 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, after the target activation server 200 establishes an 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 usage name 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 with the target activation server 200 based on the load balancing server 150.
In one embodiment, the target activation server 200 monitors the connection state of the client 110 in real time, and when determining that the client is disconnected from the activation server, if the client 110 does not request offline activation, the target activation server retrieves the activation information of the client 110 and cancels the association relationship between the activation information and the client 110.
In one embodiment, after the client 110 performs online activation on its operating system based on the activation information, the client 110 may send an offline activation request to request acquisition of offline activation rights when there is an offline use demand, 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. Specifically, the load balancing server 150 receives the offline activation request sent by the client 110, and forwards the offline activation request to the target activation server 200 determined previously, 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.
The target activation server 200 returns an offline activation message to the client 110 upon determining that the client 110 has offline activation rights. 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 offline use time, that is, offline use the activated operating system.
In one embodiment, the activation server 200 of the present invention is adapted to execute an activation control method 300 to process activation requests of the client 110, controlling 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 illustrates 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, 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. Processor 204 may include one or more levels of cache, such as a first level cache 210 and a second level cache 212, a processor core 214, and registers 216. The example processor core 214 may include an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), a Floating Point Unit (FPU), a digital signal processing core (DSP core), 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. The system memory 106 may include an operating system 220, one or more applications 222, and program data 224. The application 222 is in effect a plurality of program instructions for instructing the processor 204 to perform a corresponding operation. In some implementations, the application 222 can be arranged to cause the processor 204 to operate with the 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. Storage interface bus 234 enables communication from storage devices 232 (e.g., removable storage 236 and non-removable storage 238) to base configuration 202 via 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 the system memory 206 via the storage interface bus 234 and executed by the one or more processors 204 when the computing device 200 is powered up or the application 222 is 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 basic configuration 202 via 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. The example peripheral interface 244 may include a serial interface controller 254 and a parallel interface controller 256, which may be configured to facilitate communication via one or more I/O ports 258 and 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.). The example communication device 246 may include a network controller 260 that may be arranged to facilitate communication with one or more other computing devices 262 over a network communication link via one or more communication ports 264.
The 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 in a modulated data signal, such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism. A "modulated data signal" may be a signal that has one or more of its data set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of non-limiting example, communication media may include wired media such as a wired network or special purpose network, and 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 computing device 200 according to the present invention, application 222 includes a plurality of program instructions that execute activation control method 300, which may instruct processor 204 to execute activation control method 300 of the present invention, such that computing device 200 controls activation of the operating system in client 110 by executing activation control method 300 of the present invention.
Fig. 3 shows a flow chart of an activation control method 300 according to one embodiment of the invention. The method 300 is adapted to be executed in an activation server 200 (e.g., 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, one or more of a motherboard identification number, a CPU identification number, a hard disk identification number, and a MAC address, but is not limited thereto.
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, ending the present activation event.
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. And, each client 110 associated with the activation information has a number limitation, 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 to-be-used name of zero, and cannot be used by other clients 110. In addition, each activation information also has a corresponding validity period, and the client 110 associated with the activation information can only use the activation information during the validity period.
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, whether the activation information is still in the valid period is also judged, and if the activation information is not in the valid period, the activation information is judged to be invalid. Accordingly, if the activation information is not in the occupied state and the activation information is within the validity period, it is determined that the activation information is valid.
In step S330, if it is determined that the activation information is valid, an identification for uniquely identifying the identity of the client is generated based on the hardware information of the client 110, and the activation information is transmitted to the client 110 corresponding to the identification based on the identity of the client. The client 110 may then activate its operating system online based on the activation information, using the activated operating system online. And, the client 110 returns the acquired activation information 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, when the activation server 200 establishes an 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 usage name of the activation information.
It should be further noted that, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the client 110 can use the operating system in the active state after online activation of the operating system based on the activation information in a case where a communication connection (long connection) is established 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, i.e., is in an offline state, the activation server 200 will retrieve the activation information acquired by the client 110. That is, the client 110 cannot continue to use the activation 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, determines whether the client 110 is currently in an offline state.
Finally, in step S350, the connection state of the client 110 is monitored in real time, and when it is determined that the disconnection of the client from the activation server 200 is in an offline state, the activation server 200 retrieves the activation information previously used for activation by the client 110. The activation server 200 recovers the activation information of the client 110 by canceling the association relationship between the activation information and the client 110 to a state not used by the client 110, so as to recover the activation information of the client 110, and provide the usage name of the client 110 to other clients 110, so that the other clients 110 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 one embodiment, after step S330, that is, after the client 110 performs online activation on its operating system based on the activation information, when the client 110 has an offline use requirement, an offline activation request may also be sent to the activation server 200 to request to obtain offline activation rights, 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 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 activated offline according to the user information, in other words, determines whether the client 110 has offline activation authority 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 disconnected from the activation server during offline use time, that is, offline use of the operating system activated based on the activation information.
It should be understood that, after the client 110 acquires the offline activation authority, even if the client 110 is disconnected from the activation server 200 and is in an offline state, the activation server 200 will not recover the activation information acquired when the client 110 is activated online, 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 coupled to a client 110 via a load balancing server 150, and an activation request sent by the client 110 is forwarded to the activation server 200 via the load balancing server 150. Specifically, when the client 110 transmits an online activation request, the load balancing server 150 receives the online activation request transmitted 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, forwards the online activation request of the client 110 to the target activation server, and processes the online activation request of the client 110 by the target activation server to control activation of the operating system by the client 110. It should be noted that the load balancing algorithm adopted by the load balancing server 200 is not particularly limited, so long as the algorithm of determining the most idle active server from the plurality of active servers according to the current load of each active server is realized, and the algorithm is within the protection scope of the present invention.
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 monitors the connection state of the client 110 in real time, and when determining that the client is disconnected from the activation server, if the client 110 does not request offline activation, the target activation server obtains the activation information of the client 110 and cancels the association relationship between the activation information and the client 110.
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 target activation server determined previously, 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 in fact, the target activation server receives the activation request of the client to the operating system forwarded by the load balancing server 150, that is, obtains the activation request of the client 110 allocated by the load balancing server 150.
According to the activation control method, the activation server can distribute the activation code of the operating system to one or more clients online, and the clients use the activation code on the basis of the activation code online after activating the operating system. And when the activation server monitors that the client is in an offline state disconnected with the activation server, the activation codes of the offline client are recovered, so that the use permission of the activation codes is allocated to other clients for use. Therefore, the method and the device not only can protect the property rights of the operating system, but also can maximally utilize the activation code by offline recovery of the activation code, thereby being beneficial to saving the activation code resource, saving the cost and improving the use efficiency of the activation code.
Further, according to the activation control scheme of the invention, the client can apply offline activation to the activation server when offline use demands exist, so as to acquire the authority of offline activation use. In this way, the client can use the operating system activated based on the activation information offline in the 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 rights of the operating system.
