Detailed Description
Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that: the relative arrangement of the components and steps, the numerical expressions, and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure unless specifically stated otherwise.
The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the disclosure, its application, or uses.
Techniques, methods, and apparatus known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail but are intended to be part of the specification where appropriate.
In all examples shown and discussed herein, any particular value should be construed as merely illustrative, and not limiting. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.
It should be noted that: like reference numbers and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and thus, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be discussed further in subsequent figures.
Please refer to fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a charging process of a cloud resource in the prior art. As shown in fig. 1, in the cloud platform, when performing charging processing on a cloud resource object used by a user, an electronic device, for example, a charging server may first perform step S1100, receive a charging request, that is, receive a data request for charging the cloud resource object used by the user; then, in response to the data request, the electronic device may execute step S1200 to obtain information of the cloud resource object, for example, information such as identification information of the cloud resource object and configuration information of the user when using the cloud resource object may be obtained from the data request; then, the electronic device may generate a selection interface for the user to select the charging mode, and determine to perform step S1300, or perform step S1400 and step S1500 according to the user selection result.
Of course, in the specific implementation, a selection interface for selecting the charging mode may not be provided for the user; when charging is carried out, a charging bill for charging according to a fixed time length charging mode and a charging bill for charging according to a volume charging mode are displayed on an interface at the same time, and a user selects the charging bill according to needs. In addition, after the user has selected to perform charging according to the fixed time length charging mode and successfully pay, the electronic device does not need to perform charging again for the cloud resource object used by the user within the fixed time length, but directly skips the charging process, which is not described herein again.
In order to solve the problem that the existing cloud resource charging method is single in charging mode and poor in flexibility, which results in relatively poor user experience, this embodiment provides a charging method for cloud resources, where after an electronic device receives a charging request for a cloud resource object, it may first query, according to a user representation and a resource identifier in the charging request, whether a deduction quota matching the configuration information of the cloud resource object is included in an account resource of a user; and under the condition that the account resource contains the deduction quota, directly charging the cloud resource object according to the deduction quota and the use limit, so that the electronic equipment charges the cloud resource used by the user, and the diversity and flexibility of charging are improved.
< hardware configuration >
Referring to fig. 2, a schematic block diagram showing a hardware configuration of a server that can be used to implement the charging method of cloud resources of an embodiment is shown.
As shown in fig. 2, the server 2000 may include a processor 2100, a memory 2200, an interface device 2300, a communication device 2400, a display device 2500, and an input device 2600. The processor 2100 may be, for example, a central processing unit CPU or the like. The memory 2200 includes, for example, a ROM (read only memory), a RAM (random access memory), a nonvolatile memory such as a hard disk, and the like. The interface device 2300 includes, for example, a USB interface, a serial interface, and the like. Communication device 2400 is capable of wired or wireless communication, for example. The display device 2500 is, for example, a liquid crystal display. The input device 2600 may include, for example, a touch screen, a keyboard, and the like.
In this embodiment, the server 2000 may be configured to participate in implementing a charging method for cloud resources according to any embodiment of the present disclosure.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the memory 2200 of the server 2000 is configured to store instructions for controlling the processor 2100 to operate so as to support implementation of a charging method for cloud resources according to any embodiment of the present disclosure. The skilled person can design the instructions according to the disclosed solution of the present disclosure. How the instructions control the operation of the processor is well known in the art and will not be described in detail herein.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that although a plurality of devices of the server 2000 are illustrated in fig. 2, the server 2000 of the disclosed embodiments may refer to only some of the devices, for example, only the processor 2100 and the memory 2200. This is well known in the art and will not be described in further detail herein.
< method examples >
Please refer to fig. 3, which is a flowchart illustrating a charging method for cloud resources according to an embodiment. The charging method for cloud resources provided in this embodiment may be applied to an electronic device, where the electronic device may be a server in a cloud platform, for example, the server may be the server 2000 shown in fig. 2; or, the method may also be applied to a terminal device which may be in communication connection with a cloud platform, where the cloud platform includes at least one cloud resource object, and the cloud resource object may be one or more resource objects providing cloud computing services for a cloud server, a cloud database, and the like. As shown in FIG. 3, the method may include the following steps S3100-S3300, described in detail below.
Step S3100, receiving a charging request for a cloud resource object, wherein the charging request includes a user identifier of a user using the cloud resource object, a resource identifier of the cloud resource object, configuration information of the cloud resource object, and a usage amount of the user using the cloud resource object.
In this embodiment, the cloud resource object may be a resource object for providing cloud computing services in the cloud platform, and the resource object may be provided for a user to use, so that the user deploys an application program using the resource object, or provides data support for the application program, for example, the resource object may be a resource object such as a cloud server and a cloud database in the cloud platform.
In specific implementation, for the same cloud resource object, when the configuration selected by the user for use is different, the charging unit price finally used for charging is often different. For example, in the same cloud platform, the charging unit prices of cloud servers with configuration information of "four-core CPU 16G memory" and "eight-core CPU 32G memory" are often different. Therefore, when the electronic device charges for the cloud resource object used by the user, it needs to acquire the configuration information of the cloud resource object, and determine the charging unit price of the cloud resource object according to the configuration information.
In this embodiment, in order to increase the computing speed, when sending a charging request to the electronic device, the configuration information of the cloud resource object is sent to the electronic device at the same time, so as to prevent the computing device from consuming time again to obtain the configuration information; of course, in specific implementation, the configuration information of the cloud resource object may also be obtained in other ways, which is not limited herein.
The user identifier is information for uniquely identifying the user, and may be, for example, a user ID of the user; of course, in specific implementation, the mobile phone number of the user or other information with uniqueness may also be used to identify the user, which is not limited herein.
In this embodiment, the resource identifier is information for uniquely identifying a resource object, where the information may be category information when broadly divided, for example, a cloud server may be identified by "01", a cloud database may be identified by "02", and the like; when the resource object is divided in a narrow sense, the information may also include information such as the model and configuration of the resource object, which is not limited herein.
The usage amount is an amount of the cloud resource object used by the user, and the usage amount may be, for example, a usage duration or a usage flow.
In specific implementation, the charging request in this embodiment may be that when the user selects to use the cloud resource object in the cloud platform, the application server in the cloud platform generates the charging request according to the configuration information selected by the user, the usage amount selected by the user or actually used by the user of the cloud resource object, and sends the charging request to the electronic device for performing charging processing, for example, a charging server in the cloud platform.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the generation time of the charging request may be set as needed, for example, when the user selects to use the cloud resource object, the charging request may be generated according to the usage amount selected by the user; or, the user may use the cloud resource object first, after the user finishes using the cloud resource object, the application server obtains the usage amount of the cloud resource object actually used by the user in response to an operation triggered by the user and finishing using the cloud resource object, and generates the charging request according to the usage amount, which is not particularly limited herein.
After step S3100, step S3200 is executed, and whether a deduction quota matching the configuration information of the cloud resource object is included in the account resource of the user is queried according to the user identifier and the resource identifier.
In this embodiment, different from a manner in which, after receiving a charging request, a charging process is performed in a volume-based charging manner or a charging process is performed in a fixed-duration charging manner in the prior art, in this embodiment, in order to improve the flexibility of using cloud resources by a user and improve the viscosity and retention rate of the user in a cloud platform, a deduction quota is provided to the user by the method provided by this embodiment, when the electronic device performs the charging process on a cloud resource object used by the user in response to the charging request, it may be first queried whether an account resource of the user includes a deduction quota matching configuration information of the cloud resource object, and the charging process is performed according to the deduction quota and a usage quota of using the cloud resource object by the user.
In this embodiment, the deduction quota may be a quota for deducting usage quota of resource objects used by the user and configured in the same manner, for example, when the usage quota is a usage duration, the deduction quota may be a deduction ticket for deducting usage duration of cloud resource objects configured in the same manner; for another example, when the usage amount is usage traffic, the deduction quota may be a deduction ticket for deducting the usage traffic of the cloud resource object with the same configuration.
In particular implementations, the deduction quota may be obtained by a user purchase. For example, an interface for purchasing the charging deduction resources may be provided to the user by the cloud platform, and the corresponding deduction quota is generated to the account resource according to the charging deduction resources selected by the user in the interface, where the charging deduction resources may be resources including a preset duration and duration quotas of one or more cloud resource objects.
It should be noted that, in practice, when the volume charging mode is selected, the charging unit price of the cloud resource object with the same configuration is often higher than that of the fixed-duration charging mode, so that, in order to save the user cost and improve the user stickiness, so as to further improve the user experience, the charging unit price of the deduction quota provided in this embodiment may be smaller than that of the volume charging mode, that is, in this embodiment, the unit price of the deduction quota is smaller than that of the resource object directly charged according to the usage amount. Of course, in specific implementation, the unit price of the deduction quota may also be set to be greater than the unit price in the charging mode according to the fixed duration, that is, the unit price in the monthly wrapping mode, which is not described herein again.
In specific implementation, when the deduction quota is provided to the user, the deduction quota may be provided to the user in the form of a single cloud resource object and a charging deduction resource corresponding to the single configuration information, so as to be purchased by the user, for example, the charging deduction resource may be in the form of (a cloud server, "a quad-core CPU 16G memory", 100 hours).
Alternatively, the charging deduction resource may be in a combined form, for example, in order to increase user viscosity, the charging deduction resource may be formed by quotas of multiple kinds of configuration information of the same cloud resource object or a combination of quotas of multiple kinds of configuration information of multiple kinds of cloud resource objects, and after the user selects such charging deduction resource, deduction quotas corresponding to the cloud resource objects are generated in account resources of the user, respectively, that is, the charging deduction resource may be in a form of { (cloud resource object 1, configuration information 1, quota component 1), (cloud resource object 2, configuration information 2, quota component 2), … (cloud resource object n, configuration information n, quota component n) }, for example, { (cloud server, "quad-core CPU 16G memory", 50 hours), (cloud server, "eight-core CPU 32G memory", 10 hours), … (cloud database, "64G in memory", 40 hours) } which is not particularly limited herein.
Certainly, in specific implementation, the cloud platform may also provide, according to a user level of the user, a deduction quota of a certain cloud resource object fixedly configured for a corresponding duration to the user, where the user level may be determined according to a total duration of the user using the cloud resource object in the cloud platform, or may also be determined according to a total bill quota of the user using the cloud resource object in the cloud platform, and no special limitation is made here.
In addition, in this embodiment, before executing this step S3200, the method further includes: determining whether the user is a user meeting preset use conditions or not according to the user identification; and under the condition that the user meets the preset use condition, the charging processing is not carried out on the resource object.
In this embodiment, the preset using condition may include: whether the user is a year-in-package or month-in-package user corresponding to the resource object.
That is, after the user has previously charged the cloud resource object with the same configuration information for a fixed time length in the cloud platform, that is, when the user is a wrapped year or a wrapped month user of the cloud resource object, it may be determined that the user is a user meeting a preset use condition when the current time is within the fixed time length, and the charging process does not need to be performed on the cloud resource object used by the user, that is, the step S3200 and the subsequent step S3300 do not need to be performed again.
After the step S3200, executing step S3300, and if the account resource of the user includes the deduction quota, performing charging processing on the cloud resource object according to the deduction quota and the usage amount.
In this embodiment, when the account resource of the user includes the deduction quota matched with the configuration information of the cloud resource object used by the user, the cloud resource object may be charged according to the deduction quota and the usage amount.
Specifically, the charging the cloud resource object according to the deduction quota and the usage amount includes: and calling a resource deduction interface to charge the cloud resource object according to the deduction quota and the use limit, wherein the resource deduction interface is used for deducting the use limit from the deduction quota.
For example, a cloud resource object used by a user is set as a "cloud server", configuration information is a "quad-core CPU 16G memory", and a usage amount is 16 hours, then a deduction quota in the form of (the cloud server, "the quad-core CPU 16G memory", 100 hours) is included in account resources of the user, that is, in the case of a deduction quota matching the cloud resource object used by the user and the configuration information, a resource deduction interface may be called to perform charging processing on the cloud resource object, that is, a duration of use of the user is deducted from the deduction quota of the account resources of the user, and the deducted deduction quota is updated into the account resources of the user, that is, the updated deduction quota may be (the cloud server, "the quad-core CPU 16G memory", 84 hours).
In addition, in a case that the account resource of the user does not include the deduction quota, the method provided in this embodiment further includes: determining the charging limit of the cloud resource object according to the using limit; and calling a resource payment interface to perform charging processing on the cloud resource object according to the charging amount.
Specifically, when the account resource of the user does not include the corresponding deduction quota, the charging process may be performed in a volume-based charging manner directly according to the usage amount of the cloud resource object used by the user, for example, according to a formula: and calculating the charging amount, and calling a resource payment interface, namely, performing charging processing on the cloud resource object by using the interface for performing payment processing.
In addition, in a specific implementation, in order to improve flexibility of charging processing when the deduction quota is not included in the account resource of the user, the method provided in this embodiment further includes: under the condition that the deduction quota is not included in the account resources of the user, acquiring charging deduction resources corresponding to the cloud resource object from a resource database according to the resource identifier, the configuration information and the use limit; generating a selection interface for the user to select according to the charging deduction resources; and displaying the selection interface to a user, and carrying out charging processing on the cloud resource object according to the charging deduction resource selected by the user in the selection interface.
Specifically, under the condition that the account resources of the user do not include the corresponding deduction quota, the corresponding charging deduction resources can be inquired from a resource database providing the charging deduction resources according to the resource identification and the configuration information of the cloud resource object; then, generating and displaying a selection interface for the user to select according to the charging deduction resources; and then, charging the cloud resource object according to the charging deduction resource selected by the user in the selection interface. It should be noted that, the charging processing for the cloud resource object described herein may specifically be to call a resource payment interface to perform charging processing on the charging deduction resource selected by the user, and after the user successfully pays the charging deduction resource selected by the user, the usage amount of the cloud resource object used by the user is deducted from the corresponding deduction quota of the account resource through the resource deduction interface.
As can be known from the above steps S3100 to S3300, in the method of this embodiment, after the electronic device receives the charging request for the cloud resource object, the electronic device acquires, from the charging request, the user identifier of using the cloud resource object, the resource identifier of the cloud resource object, the configuration information, and the usage amount of the user using the cloud resource object; then, inquiring whether the account resources of the user have a deduction quota matched with the configuration information of the cloud resource object or not according to the user identifier and the resource identifier; and under the condition that the account resource has the deduction quota, the cloud resource object can be charged according to the deduction quota and the use limit. The method can improve the diversity and flexibility of the charging processing mode by inquiring whether the corresponding deduction quota exists in the user account resources and charging the use limit of the cloud resource object used by the user according to the deduction quota; meanwhile, the method enables the user to open or unsubscribe the cloud resource object at any time under the condition that the deduction quota exists in the account resources of the user, and enables the user to select to reuse the cloud resource object at any time under the condition that the deduction quota of the account resources of the user is not used up, so that the method can improve the user viscosity and the user retention rate.
