Fig. 6 is a schematic implementation flow diagram of an application configuration method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 6, the method includes:

s601, the edge terminal equipment determines the attribute information of the game matched with the target game area corresponding to the edge terminal equipment; and the side end equipment is used for analyzing and processing the acquired image of the target game area.

After the initialization of the edge device, in order for the edge device to accurately analyze a scene on the game area, the edge device needs to know the attribute information of the game to determine a target application for analyzing the acquired image of the target game area based on the attribute information of the game. The manner of obtaining attribute information of a game is described below:

in some embodiments, S601 may be implemented by: acquiring an image to be processed obtained by shooting a target game area; and analyzing and processing the image to be processed, and determining the attribute information of the game.

The image to be processed may include at least one image. In case the image to be processed comprises at least two images, the at least two images may be consecutive or non-consecutive. The at least one image may be a directly captured image or may be an image cut out from a captured video.

In implementation, the game attribute information corresponding to the image to be processed may be determined by a neural network model such as a classifier in the edge device.

In other embodiments, S601 may be implemented by: responding to an input operation of an input box for inputting a game name displayed by the frontend device; attribute information of the game is determined based on the input game name.

In implementation, after the initialization of the edge device, the edge device may display an input box for inputting a game name, and a user may input the game name to the input box, so that the edge device may determine attribute information of the game based on the input game name. In some embodiments, the frontend device may display, based on the input game name, a plurality of game identifiers corresponding to the input game name and matching with the game name, the game identifiers including the game name and version information, and the like, so as to determine the attribute information of the game in response to a user's operation on a target game identifier among the plurality of game identifiers.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the attribute information of the game is determined by analyzing and processing the image to be processed, and the user does not need to operate the edge-side equipment, so that the automation level of the edge-side equipment is improved, and the manpower maintenance cost is reduced; the attribute information of the game is determined by an input operation for a displayed input box for inputting a game name, and the determined attribute information of the game is accurate.

S602, the edge device determines the target application installed in the edge device based on the attribute information of the game.

S603, the edge device sends a first downloading request to the cloud server; the first download request indicates to download a configuration file for updating the target application; the cloud server receives a first downloading request sent by the side-end device.

Before the edge-side device sends the first downloading request to the cloud server, the current configuration file of the target application can be stored in the edge-side device. The application program may implement the rule or scenario corresponding to the current configuration file by executing the current configuration file.

In some embodiments, the method may further comprise: and acquiring the operating system information of the edge device.

In some embodiments, the current configuration file of the target application may include: a current configuration file of the target application that matches the operating system information of the edge device.

The operating system information may include operating system type information and/or operating system version information. The operating system type information may include one of: android system, apple IOS system, windows system, mac os system, linux system, etc. The same os type information may include different os version information, for example, in a windows system, the os version information of the windows system may include one of: windows7, windows8, windows10, and the like.

In this way, the current configuration file of the target application corresponding to the operating system of the edge device is stored in the edge device, and the current configuration files of other operating systems are not stored, so that the storage occupation of the edge device is greatly reduced.

In some embodiments, the first download request further indicates: and downloading the configuration file which is matched with the operating system information of the side terminal equipment and is used for updating the target application.

S604, the cloud server sends a configuration file for updating the target application to the edge device; and the edge terminal equipment receives a configuration file which is sent by the cloud server and used for updating the target application.

In some embodiments, the cloud server sends to the edge device: and the configuration file is matched with the operating system information of the edge device and used for updating the configuration file of the target application.

In some game update methods, if a game needs to be updated, the latest patch packages are downloaded on the game manager network, and these patch packages are configuration files, so that the device will update the game based on the game patch packages. However, in order to meet the update requirements of different devices, the patch package usually includes configuration files corresponding to various types of operating system information, which may result in a large file size of the patch package, not only increases the bandwidth pressure of the cloud server for transmitting data to the device, but also increases the memory usage of the device to a great extent.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the operating system information of the edge device is acquired through the edge device, and a request for downloading an updated configuration file matched with the operating system information of the edge device is sent to the cloud server, so that when the cloud server sends the updated configuration file to the edge device, only the updated configuration file matched with the operating system information of the edge device is sent to the edge device, and the updated configuration file unmatched with the operating system information of the edge device is not sent, thereby reducing the bandwidth pressure of the cloud server for transmitting data to the edge device to a great extent, and further reducing the memory occupation of the edge device to a great extent.

The scene on the game area may change frequently, for example, in general, the pattern on the game area is usually green, however, sometimes in order to cater for some holiday scenes, such as christmas or spring festival scenes, the place where the game can be played may change the pattern on the game area to red, which may cause the attribute information of the game to change, and accordingly, the operation and maintenance personnel may update the current configuration file of the target application, so that the result of the analysis processing on the scene of the red pattern is more accurate. However, after the holiday, the place where the game can be played usually removes the red pattern and continues to use the green pattern, and accordingly the profile of the target application returns to the current profile before updating. To implement the rollback of the configuration file, the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include the following steps S605 to S607.

S605, the edge device modifies the first update information into the second update information in response to the modification operation of the first update information configured in advance in the edge device.

The first update information indicates an up-to-date configuration file of the target application is used; the second update information indicates a configuration file that uses a previous version of the configuration file for updating the target application.

In some embodiments, the frontend device may modify the first update information into the second update information according to a user selection of the second update information in the configuration content. In other embodiments, the cloud server may determine to configure the second update information to the edge device, and send the second update information to the edge device, so that the edge device replaces the first update information with the second update information.

The version of the previous version of the configuration file is lower than the version of the updated configuration file. In some implementations, the previous version of the configuration file may be the current configuration file.

S606, the edge device sends a second downloading request to the cloud server based on the second updating information; the second download request indicates to download a previous version of the configuration file; and the cloud server receives a second downloading request sent by the side-end equipment.

S607, the cloud server sends the configuration file of the previous version to the edge device; and the edge terminal equipment receives the configuration file of the previous version sent by the cloud server.

The frontend device may update the target application after receiving the configuration file of the previous version.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, under the condition that the edge device determines that the configuration file of the previous version needs to be configured to the target application, the edge device may modify the first update information into the second update information, so that the configuration file of the previous version is acquired from the cloud server based on the second update information, rollback of the configuration file of the historical version is realized, and the occurrence of the condition that the configuration file of the historical version cannot be returned to the target application is avoided.

In a real-world scenario, the games matched by the game areas are usually constantly changing. For example, the target game area is used for playing game a, and when the game area for playing game B is insufficient, the target game area may be modified to the game area for playing game B, and for example, a change in the game matched to the target game area may be realized by changing the pattern of the game area, and when the games matched to the game areas are different, the attribute information of the games may be different. Since the target game area corresponds to the edge device, a change in the game on the game area may cause a change in the application for analyzing the game area.

Here, the description is only for illustrating one scenario in which the attribute information of the game changes, and in the actual process, there may be other scenarios in which the attribute information of the game changes, for example, the game version changes, the game rule changes, the pattern on the target game area changes, the positions of different areas on the game area change, and the like.

In order to enable the edge-side device to still analyze and process the acquired image of the target game area under the condition that the attribute information of the game changes, the embodiment of the disclosure provides the following technical scheme:

after the initialization of the edge device, determining that the attribute information of the game changes compared with the attribute information before the initialization of the edge device; determining a designated application installed in the frontend device based on the changed attribute information of the game; the appointed application is used for analyzing and processing the acquired image of the target game area; and acquiring a configuration file of the specified application from the cloud server.

The initialization of the edge device may include: and the edge terminal equipment unloads the installed target application. In some embodiments, the edge device may automatically perform an initialization procedure during the reboot. In other embodiments, the frontend device may perform the initialization procedure in response to a triggering operation for initialization in the setting.

In some embodiments, the frontend device may acquire an image to be processed obtained by photographing a target game area; and determining that the attribute information of the game changes under the condition that the game attribute information determined after the restarting of the edge device is different from the game attribute information determined before the restarting of the edge device based on the image to be processed.

The determined game attribute information before the restart of the edge device can be stored in the edge device, and the initialization process of the edge device will not affect the game attribute information before the initialization stored in the edge device.

In other embodiments, the edge device may respond to an input operation for an input box displayed for the edge device to input a game name; and determining that the attribute information of the game changes when the input game name is different from the game name determined before the restarting of the edge device.

The edge device displays an input box after initialization so that the user can input the game name through the input box.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the edge device is initialized and the attribute information of the game is changed, the edge device may reinstall the designated application corresponding to the changed attribute information of the game, and then acquire the configuration file of the designated application from the cloud server, so that the designated application can still perform analysis processing on the acquired image of the target game area by configuring the corresponding configuration file to the designated application even when the attribute information of the game is changed.

The following describes a manner in which the cloud server obtains the configuration file of the update target application:

firstly, the cloud server can obtain a first configuration list comprising a plurality of configuration file identifications arranged according to a version sequence; each configuration file identification is used for configuring the target application; each configuration file identifier comprises a file name and a version number; the file names of the configuration file identifications are the same, and the configuration file identifications are sequentially arranged according to the version numbers.

The plurality of profiles may be arranged from high to low or from low to high according to version numbers.

Secondly, the cloud server can determine the configuration file identifier of the latest version from the first configuration list.

And thirdly, the cloud server can identify the configuration file mapped by the configuration file with the latest version as the current configuration file of the target application.

Finally, the cloud server can respond to the update operation of the current configuration file to obtain the configuration file for updating the target application.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the cloud server maintains the first configuration list, so that configuration files with different versions and the same file name for configuring the target application can be acquired, and further, an update operation can be easily performed on the configuration file mapped by any configuration file identifier in the first configuration list.

In some embodiments, the manner in which the cloud server obtains the configuration file of the previous version and sends the configuration file of the previous version to the edge device may include the following:

firstly, the cloud server can generate a second configuration list based on a configuration file for updating the target application; the second configuration list includes: a plurality of configuration file identifiers arranged according to the version sequence; and a profile identification mapped with a profile used to update the target application.

In some embodiments, the cloud server may maintain the first configuration list and the second configuration list simultaneously. In other embodiments, the cloud server may delete the first configuration list after obtaining the second configuration list, so that the cloud server may only maintain the newly generated configuration list.

Secondly, the cloud server can receive a second downloading request sent by the side-end device; the second download request indicates to download: specifying a configuration file identifying the mapped previous version of the configuration file; the previous version of the configuration file is of a lower version than the version of the configuration file used to update the target application.

Finally, the cloud server may send the configuration file of the previous version mapped by the obtained specified configuration file identifier to the edge device when determining that the configuration file mapped by the specified configuration file identifier is based on the second configuration list.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, by continuously generating the new configuration list, the cloud device can obtain the configuration file identifiers of all versions of the target application from the newly generated configuration list, and then determine the configuration files of all versions based on the configuration file identifiers of all versions, so that the management of the configuration files of the target application is greatly facilitated, and the convenience of reading a certain version of the configuration file of the target application is improved.

In a real-world scenario, the configuration file list is usually damaged, for example, in some implementation scenarios, if the second configuration list is damaged, or if the mapping relationship between the specified configuration file identifier and the configuration file of the previous version is damaged, the cloud server cannot acquire the configuration file of the previous version based on the second configuration list. To solve this problem, the embodiments of the present disclosure may also propose the following method:

acquiring the configuration file of the previous version mapped by the specified configuration file identification based on the first configuration list under the condition that the configuration file of the previous version mapped by the specified configuration file identification cannot be determined based on the second configuration list; and sending the acquired configuration file with the specified configuration file identification to the frontend equipment to map the configuration file with the previous version.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the cloud server maintains the first configuration list and the second configuration list at the same time, and when the second configuration list is damaged, the configuration file of the previous version can be acquired by the first configuration list, so that the situation that the configuration file of the previous version cannot be acquired when a certain configuration list of the cloud server is damaged is avoided.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, because the different game scenes are caused by different attribute information of the game, the edge-side equipment can automatically acquire and update the corresponding configuration files according to the different scenes, and only one configuration file needs to be maintained on the edge-side equipment at the same time; the application is separated from the resource file, the resource file is managed by the cloud, any resource file is not contained in the initial application version package, and the application version package can be slimmed; in addition, the method can support the simultaneous upgrading of a large number of side-end devices, all the devices download the latest resource files in parallel through the cloud, and the state consistency can be achieved within a small time difference.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the resource files of all applications are managed through the cloud, an incremental version number is used as a unique identifier of each resource file, and the application version package does not contain any resource file any more, but only contains a resource name and a corresponding version number. In addition, the application service on the edge device completes the automatic updating of the configuration file through differential synchronization in a mode of regularly checking the latest version of the configuration file.

Fig. 7 is a schematic architecture diagram of another application configuration system provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 7, an application configuration system 700 may be the same as the application configuration system 100 described above. The application configuration system 700 includes: an edge device a, an edge device B, a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) interface 701, a cloud server 702, and a database (Data Base, DB) 703.

The edge device a may be installed with an application 1(service-1), an application 2(service-2), an application 3(service-3), and an application 4 (service-4). In the frontend device a, the configuration file of the application 1 may include: resource-a-v0.1 and resource-b-latest; resource-a-v0.1 may characterize the v0.1 version of resource-a, resource-b-latest characterizing the latest version of resource-b; the configuration file of application 2 may include: resource-c-v0.1 and resource-a-latest; the configuration file for application 3 may include resource-a-v0.2 and resource-b-latest. The configuration file for application 4 may include resource-a-late and resource-b-late.

The edge device B may be installed with an application 1(service-1), an application 2(service-2), an application 3(service-3), and an application 5 (service-5). In the frontend device B, the configuration file of the application 1 may include: resource-a-v0.1 and resource-b-latest; the configuration file of application 2 may include: resource-c-v0.1 and resource-a-v 0.2; the configuration file for application 3 may include resource-a-v0.2 and resource-b-v 0.1. The configuration file for application 5 may include resource-a-latest and resource-b-v 0.1.

The edge device a or the edge device B may obtain any configuration file from the cloud server 702 through the remote procedure call interface 701.

Any one of the above configuration files may be stored in the database 703, so that the cloud server 702 may read any one of the above configuration files from the database 703.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the configuration of the application in the edge device is completed through the cooperation of the cloud server and the edge device, and the configuration file is stored in the cloud service by taking the version number as an identifier and provides a remote procedure call interface for inquiry and downloading for the edge service to call. The frontier service needs to self-maintain the required configuration file name and the corresponding version number, and selects the version of the configuration file to download from the cloud end to the local in real time according to the application scene.

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a process of updating a configuration file list according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where as shown in fig. 8, a configuration file is stored in a cloud and a name + version (name + version) is used as a unique identifier, and when a certain configuration file needs to be updated, a new file is uploaded through a cloud management background (background-service), the new file is stored with an identifier of version +1, and a latest version number is updated, and the old file is still stored and downloaded with the name + version as an identifier.

Fig. 8 shows that the cloud management background may update the configuration file mapped by the configuration file identifier in the first configuration list to obtain the latest configuration file, and generate a second configuration resource list based on the latest configuration file identifier and the first configuration resource list, where the second resource list includes the latest configuration file identifier (resource-a-v0.3[ late ]) and the configuration file identifiers (resource-a-v0.2, resource-a-v0.1, resource-x-xxx, and so on) in the first configuration list. In practice, the first list of configured resources may be referred to as an old list of configured resources, and the second list of configured resources may be referred to as a new list of configured resources. The second configuration resource list can be displayed through the cloud management background. The first configuration resource list and the second configuration resource list may be both lists corresponding to the configuration file name resource-a.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the application service on the edge device checks whether the required resource service is updated or not in a timed polling or subscription manner, and when the difference between the locally maintained configuration file and the latest version of the cloud is found, determines whether the configuration file uses the latest configuration file or not, and if the latest configuration file is used, downloads the latest configuration file and replaces the locally corresponding configuration file.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the configuration file used by the application service on the edge device is stored in the cloud service, and the application version package does not contain the configuration file; the method comprises the following steps that an edge-side application checks a local configuration file version by calling a cloud RPC interface and automatically updates the configuration of a corresponding version; the configuration file is stored in the cloud end by the unique identification name + version, and the configuration file is uploaded through the cloud end management background and latest is updated to version + 1.

By the method, the edge device application version package does not need to contain any configuration file any more, so that the space occupation of the version package is reduced, and the bandwidth pressure can be relieved as the version package is transmitted through the network; the edge-side equipment automatically checks whether the local configuration file needs to be updated or not, automatically downloads the latest version and applies the latest version when the local configuration file needs to be updated, and does not need human intervention any more, so that the configuration updating efficiency is improved; and using the version number management profile, the backend device may support multi-version profile management under a particular scenario and roll-back to a historical version.

The following describes a full update scenario of the configuration file of the edge device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure: the user selects the configuration file to be updated through the cloud background management background, and after the new file is uploaded, the edge-side equipment automatically downloads the latest configuration file according to the local configuration and applies the latest configuration file to the local service.

And (3) rolling back the scene of the configuration file of the edge-side equipment: the user sets a specific version number (name + version) of the configuration file used by the user by modifying the parameters of the edge device, and the configuration file with the corresponding version number is automatically downloaded and applied after the application service is restarted. There are a variety of scenarios in parallel in places where games can be played: there is a configuration file, resource-a, used in multiple scenes simultaneously, where scene 1 uses the latest version of resource-a-latest and scene 2 uses the historical version of resource-a-v 0.1. The user keeps using the latest version of resource-a (corresponding to the first update parameter) all the time by modifying the game area parameter (corresponding to the update information) of scene 1, while scene 2 continues to use the v0.1 version profile (realized by modifying the first update parameter to the second update parameter), and a plurality of scenes operate in parallel without mutual influence.
