Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one … …" does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a commodity or system comprising such elements.

Before explaining the service providing method provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the practical meaning of guaranteeing the service quality of the service may be first illustrated:

as mentioned in the background, with the development of 5G communication networks, there is an increasing demand for users to provide services to APP operating with 5G communication networks. Such as live broadcast or video play services, users have an increasing demand for definition of video, wherein in live broadcast services, live video may include live video of games and sporting events, and may also include video required for realizing distance education or telemedicine. In addition, with the aid of the 5G communication network, the carrier device, the drive test device and the computer network on the vehicle can also form a vehicle network, in order to provide the user with automatic driving services by means of the vehicle network.

For the two services of the above example, to meet the requirements of users on definition and smoothness of live video, the computer network where the APP is located needs to have corresponding data transmission capability and data calculation capability. Similarly, computer networks in the internet of vehicles also have certain data transmission and computing capabilities to enable automatic driving. At this time, the service providing method provided by the following embodiments of the present invention can be used. The method provided by the embodiments of the invention can enable the computer network to have the data transmission capability and the computing capability meeting the service quality, thereby providing high-quality service for users.

It should be noted that the live service and the automatic driving service are only examples, and the present invention is not limited to the use scenario of the service providing method. The method provided by the embodiments of the invention is not only suitable for the 5G communication network, but also suitable for the 4G communication network or other communication networks.

Based on the above description, some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the case where there is no conflict between the embodiments, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. In addition, the sequence of steps in the method embodiments described below is only an example and is not strictly limited.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the service providing method according to the embodiment of the present invention may be performed by a configuration device. It is understood that the configuration device may be implemented as software, or a combination of software and hardware. The configuration device may in particular be a cloud orchestrator deployed in a cloud environment. As shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the steps of:

s101, obtaining target network performance indexes to be met by providing target services.

The configuration device may obtain target network performance metrics to be met to provide the target service. The target network performance index may be preset according to historical experience, and may be understood as an ideal value capable of ensuring the service quality. That is, if the computer network in which the APP is located can meet the target network performance index, the quality of service of the target service meets the user requirement, i.e., the target network performance index is an index that can meet the user requirement for the quality of service. Alternatively, the target network performance metrics may include network bandwidth, network latency, delay jitter, and the like.

Alternatively, the target service may be any service that can be provided by a computer network, and the present invention is not limited thereto. By way of example, the target service may be various services provided by the APP installed on the terminal device used by the general user, such as a video play service provided by the video APP, a live broadcast service provided by the live APP, a game service provided by the game APP, and so on; the system can also be an automatic driving service provided for users by the Internet of vehicles; various cloud services provided for enterprise users, such as providing services for enterprise users for data computation, data storage, and the like, are also possible.

For the acquisition of the target network performance index, in an alternative manner, the preset target network performance index can be directly acquired in response to the starting operation of the target service triggered by the user. Alternatively, a target service may correspond to multiple sets of target network performance metrics.

Taking the example of providing video playing service for the user, such starting operation may be a starting operation triggered by the user to the video APP, and the video APP and the target network performance index may not have a one-to-one correspondence. Taking live services as an example, the start operation may be that the user clicks into a live room in the live APP.

In practice, the target network performance indicators to be met for providing different target services are also typically different. Thus, in another alternative, in response to a user-triggered start operation of a target service, a service identifier is obtained, and a target network performance index corresponding to the target service is determined according to the service identifier.

Still taking the example of providing a video playing service to a user, the service identity may be considered as a program identity of this video APP. At this time, network performance data for the video playing service can be obtained according to the program identifier of the video APP.

S102, determining a first network performance index to be met by the computer network and a first computing resource to be provided when the target service is provided according to the target network performance index.

In general, a process of providing a target service mainly includes a data transmission process between a terminal device and a server and data calculation performed on the server.

Taking the video playing service provided for the user as an example, the video APP may send a video acquisition message to the server in response to an operation triggered by the user. After receiving the video acquisition message, the server can feed back the locally stored video data to the video APP, and the process is a data transmission process between the video APP and the server. Meanwhile, before feeding back the video data, the server can also encode the video data so as to feed back the encoded video data to the video APP. The encoding process of video data can be considered as a data calculation process performed on the server.

Based on the above description, it is easy to understand that, in order to ensure the quality of service of the target service, the transmission speed of data and the calculation speed of data are ensured. Therefore, after obtaining the target network performance index, the configuration device can decompose the target network performance index from the two angles of data transmission and data calculation respectively, so as to obtain a first network performance index to be met by the computer network and a first computing resource to be provided by the computer network. The first network performance index can ensure the service quality of the target service from the data transmission speed; the first computing resource is capable of guaranteeing a quality of service of the target service in terms of data computing speed.

Alternatively, the first network performance indicator may include network bandwidth, network latency, delay jitter, and the like. The first computing resource may include a CPU resource, a memory resource, a hard disk resource, and the like. And similar to the target network performance index, the decomposed first network performance index and first computing resource may also be considered as an ideal value capable of guaranteeing the quality of service.

S103, configuring the computer network according to the first network performance index and the first computing resource to provide the target service by the configured computer network.

Finally, the configuration device may configure the computer network according to the first network performance index and the first computing resource, and provide the target service for the user using the configured computer network. At this time, since the computer network can meet the first network performance index and can also provide the first computing resource, the computer network can ensure the service quality of the target service from both the transmission speed and the computing speed of the data.

In this embodiment, the configuration device first obtains a target network performance index to be satisfied by providing the target service, and then decomposes the target network performance index into a first network performance index to be satisfied by the computer network and a first computing resource to be provided by the computer network. And finally, configuring the computer network according to the first network performance index and the first computing resource obtained by decomposition, and normally providing target service for the user by utilizing the configured computer network.

In the method, the configuration of the whole computer network is realized through the unified management of the network performance index and the computing resource. Since the network performance index can reflect the data transmission speed of the computer network, the computing resource can reflect the computing speed of the computer network, so that the data transmission speed and the computing speed are considered at the same time when the computer network is configured. When the configured computer network is used for providing the target service for the user, the data transmission speed and the data calculation speed can meet the requirement of the user on the service quality of the target service, so that the computer network has the capability of guaranteeing the service quality of the target service.

Meanwhile, the unified management of the network performance index and the computing resource in the method is to realize the pull-through of the transmission capacity and the computing power of the whole computer network. Compared with the method that the network and the computing power are not pulled through, the service quality is guaranteed from the data transmission speed alone, the service quality of the target service can be guaranteed more comprehensively from different angles by using the method provided by the embodiment, and the use experience of a user is improved.

In practice, computer networks may include, in particular, communication networks and computing networks. Fig. 2 is a flowchart of another service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps. Meanwhile, the above embodiments are described taking a video playing service as an example, and the service providing method provided in this embodiment and the following embodiments may be described taking a live broadcast service as an example.

S201, obtaining target network performance indexes to be met by providing target services.

Optionally, the same target service can also have different levels of service quality, and the user can select different levels of service quality according to own requirements. Wherein, the service quality levels are different, and the target network performance indexes required for meeting the service quality levels are also different. Typically, one quality of service level corresponds to a set of target network performance metrics for the same target service.

For example, a live APP may provide a first level, a second level of quality of service. After the user selects the first level of service quality, 1080p high-definition live video can be seen. After purchasing the second level of service quality, the user can watch 720p high-definition live video. A user who does not purchase the corresponding quality of service level can view 480p high definition video or 360p standard definition live video.

For the case that there are different levels of quality of service, one way to optionally obtain the target network performance index may be: in response to a user-triggered start operation of a target service, such as clicking to enter a direct broadcast room in a direct broadcast APP, the configuration device obtains a user identifier and a service identifier, where the user identifier may reflect whether the user has purchased a certain level of quality of service, and the level of quality of service purchased. And the configuration equipment determines the target network performance index according to the preset corresponding relation between the network performance index, the service identifier and the user identifier. The target network performance indicator corresponds to a level of quality of service for a target service.

In addition to the above, in practice, the method provided in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 may be alternatively used to obtain the target network performance index.

S202, determining a first network performance index to be met by the communication network according to the target network performance index.

S203, determining a first computing resource to be provided by the computing network according to the target network performance index.

The above embodiments have explained that providing the target service mainly includes two processes of data transmission and data calculation. The computer network comprises a communication network for realizing data transmission, and a computing network for realizing data computation. Alternatively, the computing network may be a cloud computing network.

The decomposition of the target network performance index may be: according to the target network performance index, a first network performance index to be met by the communication network is obtained, and according to the target network performance index, a first computing resource to be provided by the computing network is obtained. The communication network meeting the first network performance index can ensure the transmission speed of data, and the computing network capable of providing the first computing resource can ensure the computing speed of data, so that the service quality level selected by the user is ensured from two aspects.

S204, configuring the computer network according to the first network performance index and the first computing resource to provide the target service by the configured computer network.

Finally, the configuration device may configure a computing network in the computer network according to the first computing resource, configure the communication network according to the first network performance index, and provide the user with the target service whose service quality meets the requirements by using the configured communication network and computing network.

In practice, a structure of a 5G communication network may be as shown in fig. 3. The communication network may include an access network and a core network, among others. The access network and the core network may also be connected by a bearer network (not shown in fig. 3).

Wherein the access network is formed by at least one 5G base station (gNB). The core network may include network exposure function network elements (Network Exposure Function, NEF for short), policy control function network elements (Policy Control Function, PCF for short), session management function network elements (Session Management Function, SMF for short), user plane function network elements (User Plane Function, UPF for short), access and mobility management function network elements (Access and Mobility Management Function, AMF for short), and so on. The function of each functional network element in the core network is the same as that in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

Based on the communication network with the structure, the configuration process of the communication network can be as follows: the configuration equipment sends the first network performance index obtained by decomposition to a NEF network element in the core network, and then the PCF network element in the core network configures the core network in the communication network. The PCF network element in the core network may further forward the received first network performance index to the access network through the AMF network element, so as to complete configuration of the access network.

For the configuration of the communication network, the network bandwidth, the network delay and the time jitter of the network equipment respectively contained in the core network and the access network are actually configured according to the first network performance index, and the data transmission speed in the process of providing the target service can be ensured after the configuration.

For the configuration of the computing network, the configuration device may directly configure the computing network according to the first computing resource, that is, the network device included in the computing network has an idle first computing resource to process the computation required in the process of providing the target service, and after the configuration, the computing speed of the data in the process of providing the target service may be ensured.

In this embodiment, the configuration device may acquire and decompose a target network performance index uniquely corresponding to the quality of service level and the target service. And then, the communication network can be configured according to the first network performance index obtained by decomposition, and the computing network can be configured according to the first computing resource obtained by decomposition, so that the service quality of the target service can be more comprehensively ensured from two aspects of data transmission and data computation.

It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the configuration device may be maintained by the network operator, that is, the communication network in the computer network may be regarded as being configured by the network operator. This network operator may also provide cloud computing services, so it may also be considered a cloud service provider. The computing network in the computer network may also be configured by the network operator. The communication network and the computing network have the same configuration, so that the service quality of the target service can be ensured from the two aspects of data transmission and data computation, and the service quality can be ensured more comprehensively.

In the service providing method provided in the above embodiments, decomposing the target network performance index is an important step of finally ensuring the service quality of the target service.

Alternatively, the process of decomposing the first network performance index from the target network performance index may be:

the target network performance index and the first network performance index may each include a network bandwidth, a network delay and a delay jitter, and the first network performance index obtained by decomposition may include the same network bandwidth and the same delay jitter as the target network performance index. That is, the network bandwidth and delay jitter to be satisfied by the network devices included in the access network and the core network in the communication network are the same as those included in the target network performance index.

The network time delay to be met by the whole communication network can be obtained after decomposition to be a first preset value, and the first preset value is smaller than the network time delay included by the target network performance index. The sum of network delays to be met by the access network and the core network in the communication network is a first preset value, that is, the sum of network delays to be met by a plurality of network devices included in the access network and the core network is a first preset value. But the network delay which is respectively satisfied by the access network and the core network, or the network delay which is to be satisfied by each network device can be arbitrarily configured, and only the network delay of the whole communication network is required to be ensured to be a first preset value.

The communication network is configured according to the first network performance index obtained after decomposition, so that the data transmission speed in the process of providing the target service can be ensured.

Alternatively, the process of decomposing the first computing resource from the target network performance index may be:

and determining the network delay to be met by the computing network as a second preset value according to the network delay contained in the target network performance index and the first network performance index. The sum of the first preset value and the second preset value is equal to the network delay contained in the target network performance index. And the configuration equipment determines the computing resource corresponding to the second preset value, namely the first computing resource according to the corresponding relation between the network time delay and the computing resource. The network devices included in the computing network are all capable of providing the first computing resource.

The computing network computer is configured according to the first computing resources obtained after the decomposition, so that the computing speed of data in the process of providing the target service can be ensured.

It can be seen that the above-mentioned index decomposition process breaks through the configuration barrier between the communication network and the computing network and between the access network and the core network, so that the configuration process is not independent but uniform. The unified management of the communication network and the computing network is realized, and the unified management of the access network and the core network is realized. This unified configuration is particularly evident in the network latency index.

If the communication network and the computing network cannot be managed uniformly, network delay cannot be allocated to the communication network and the computing network reasonably after the target network performance index. It is assumed that the configuration device allocates a smaller network delay to the communication network or the computing network, i.e. increases the network performance requirements of the communication network or the computing network. At this time, the communication network or the computing network may fail to provide the target service because the assigned network delay cannot be satisfied.

Similar to the above description, if the access network and the core network cannot be managed uniformly, the configuration device cannot allocate reasonable network delay to the access network and the core network, and may also cause failure in providing the target service.

The linkage and unified configuration mode provided by the embodiment of the invention can avoid the problems, ensure the normal starting of the target service and also ensure the service quality.

For example, for a live APP, the target network performance index corresponding to the first level of service quality selected by the user is assumed to include a network bandwidth of 10M, a network delay of 100ms, and a delay jitter of 10ms. The communication network in the computer network comprises an access network and a core network, the access network comprises a network device 1 and a network device 2, and the core network comprises a network device 3 and a network device 4. The computing network in the computer network comprises network devices 5 and 6.

The configuration device may decompose the network bandwidth and the delay jitter in the target network performance index to obtain: the first network performance index to be met by the communication network includes a network bandwidth of 10M and a delay jitter of 10ms, that is, the network bandwidths to be met by the network devices 1 to 4 in the communication network are all 10M and the delay jitter to be met is all 10ms.

The configuration device may also decompose the network delay in the target network performance index: the time delay to be met by the communication network is 40ms (i.e., the first preset value), and the time delay to be met by the computing network is 60ms (i.e., the second preset value). I.e. the network delay to be met by the entire communication network may be 40ms. Alternatively, the network delays to be satisfied by each of the network devices 1 to 4 may be 10ms. Of course, the network delays to be satisfied by the network devices 1 to 4 may be configured to other values, as long as the total of the network delays of the 4 network devices is 40ms.

The configuration device may further determine, according to a correspondence between the network delay and the computing resources, a computing resource that is required to satisfy the network delay of 60ms, that is, a first computing resource, where both the network device 5 and the network device 6 in the computing network are capable of providing the first computing resource.

After the above-mentioned decomposition, the network devices 1 to 4 in the communication network should be able to satisfy a network bandwidth of 10M, a delay jitter of 10ms, and a total network delay of 4 network devices is 100ms. The network device 5 and the network device 6 in the computing network should be able to provide the first computing resource. Finally, the communication network and the computing network are directly configured according to the indexes, so that the data transmission speed of the communication network can meet the target network performance indexes, and the data computing speed of the computing network can also meet the target network performance indexes, thereby ensuring the service quality of target service.

The configuration device can acquire the network environment of the current computer network in real time when the user triggers the starting operation of the target service, and can decompose the target network performance index in the mode. If the current network environment can meet the first network performance index and the first computing resource obtained by decomposition, the computer network can be directly configured according to the first network performance index and the first computing resource.

In practice, however, the entire computer network typically needs to provide different services to a plurality of users, and thus, when a user triggers a start operation, there may be a case where the network environment of the computer network cannot meet the first network performance index and the first computing resource. I.e., the quality of service of the target service provided by the computer network to the user does not meet the user's needs. Alternatively, the configuration device may send information directly to the device that provides the target service, taking the above example, and for the video playing service and the live broadcast service, the device that provides the target service may be a terminal device installed with an APP; for an autopilot service, the device that provides the target service is the vehicle. At this time, the terminal device or the vehicle is limited to the network environment of the current computer network and cannot start the APP or put the vehicle in an automatic driving mode. Alternatively, the configuration device may also reconfigure the computer network based on the current network environment selection.

Of course, in the process of successfully starting the target service and normally providing the service, the configuration device may also monitor the network environment of the computer network in real time, dynamically determine whether to re-decompose the network performance index according to the change of the network environment, and reconfigure the communication network and the computing network according to the re-decomposed index

In the process of providing the target service, fig. 4 is a flowchart of yet another service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, after step 103 or after step 204, the method may further include the steps of:

s301, monitoring the communication network and the computing network in the process of providing the target service to obtain a second network performance index of the communication network and a second computing resource which can be provided by the computing network.

Optionally, monitoring of the communication network and the computing network may be implemented by using a GTP Monitoring method, so as to obtain a second network performance index of the current communication network and a second computing resource that can be provided by the computing network. Optionally, the second network performance indicator may also include network bandwidth, network latency, and time jitter.

S302, the communication network and the computing network are configured according to the second network performance index and the second computing resource.

The configuration device may determine whether a reconfiguration of the communication network and the computing network is required based on the monitored content in step 301.

In particular, assuming that a communication network in a computer network is capable of meeting a first network performance index and a computing network is capable of providing a first computing resource, the quality of service of a target service that the entire computer network is capable of providing to a user is capable of meeting a user requirement.

It is assumed that the level of quality of service required by the user is the first level in the above-described embodiment. Then, from a data transmission perspective, optionally, if the target network performance indicator is better than the second network performance indicator, indicating that the current communication network is slow in data transmission, the communication network with the second network performance indicator cannot provide the target service of the first level of service quality, and the configuration device determines that the secondary target network performance indicator to be satisfied by being able to provide the secondary service quality (i.e., the second level of service quality in the above embodiment). The secondary target network performance index is also a preset value. Finally, the communication network in the computer network is reconfigured according to the secondary target network performance index.

With the example of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, for a live APP, the first level of quality of service corresponds to 1080p live video, and the secondary (i.e., second level of quality of service) corresponds to 720p live video. The target network performance index is clearly superior to the secondary target network performance index.

If the current communication network can only meet the second network performance index, if 1080p live video is still provided for the user, the phenomenon of live video blocking can occur due to the reduction of the data transmission speed, and the viewing experience of the user is greatly reduced although the quality requirement of the user on the image quality is met. In order to avoid this, the configuration device may reconfigure the communication network according to the secondary target network performance index, so as to ensure smooth data transmission under the condition of slightly losing image quality, and enable the user to obtain smooth viewing experience.

From the perspective of data computing, optionally, if the second computing resource does not satisfy the first computing resource, which indicates that the computing speed of the current computing network is slower, the computing network with the second computing resource cannot provide the target service of the first level service quality, and the configuration device may redetermine the network delay to be satisfied by the computing network to be a third preset value. And then, according to the corresponding relation between the network time delay and the computing resources, computing a third computing resource corresponding to a third preset value, and configuring the computing network according to the third computing resource. Since the third preset value is greater than the second preset value, the quality of service that the third computing resource can provide is lower than the quality of service that the first computing resource can provide.

Based on the above example, when the computing network only provides the second computing resource, if 1080p live video is still provided for the user, the encoding speed of the live video is reduced due to the reduction of the data computing speed, and the phenomenon of live video blocking also occurs, so that the viewing experience of the user is affected. And the configuration equipment reconfigures the computing network by utilizing the third computing resource determined according to the third preset value in the mode so as to ensure the speed of encoding the live video, and the user can obtain smooth viewing experience while slightly losing the image quality.

The above procedure, i.e. the configuration device dynamically adjusts the quality of service level of the target service from the first level to the second level according to the current network environment.

In practice, the data transmission speed of the communication network and the data calculation speed of the calculation network may be separately or simultaneously slowed down. The communication network or the computing network may be reconfigured separately or simultaneously according to the actual situation. In addition, when the network environments of the communication network and the computing network are changed, the configuration device may also be reconfigured to restore the quality of service level of the target service.

In this embodiment, in the process of providing the target service, the configuration device further monitors the network environments of the communication network and the computing network in the computer network in real time, that is, realizes real-time sensing of the network environments. The entire computer network can be dynamically configured in real time based on the perceived results. The quality of service of the target service provided is satisfactory to the user when the computer network is normal in the network environment. When the network environment of the computer network is not good enough, the continuous provision of the target service can be ensured by reducing the service quality.

The above embodiments describe the configuration of a computer network from the perspective of configuration equipment, and the process of monitoring the network environment of the computer network and dynamically configuring the computer network according to the monitoring result. The configuration device may be included in a service providing system, and fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, the system includes: terminal device 1, computer network 2 and configuration device 3.

The user may trigger a start-up operation of the target service on the terminal device 1, and the terminal device 1 may send a notification message to the configuration device 3. As with the embodiments described above, the target service may alternatively also include a live service, an autopilot service, and the like.

The configuration device 3, upon receiving the notification message, may initiate configuration of the computer network 2. The configuration procedure may be: the configuration device 3 obtains target network performance indicators to be met for providing the target service. And decomposing the target network performance index, namely determining a first network performance index to be met by the computer network 2 and a first computing resource to be provided when the target service is provided according to the target network performance index. Finally, the computer network 2 is configured according to the target network performance index and the first computing resource, and the target service can be provided for the user by utilizing the configuration result.

Alternatively, as described in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, one target service may have different quality of service levels, and a user may purchase one of the quality of service levels. At this time, the target network performance index may be obtained by: the terminal device 1 sends a notification message containing the service identity of the target service and the user identity. After receiving the notification message, the configuration device 3 obtains the target network performance index according to the program identifier and the user identifier in the notification message.

Optionally, the computer network 2 to be configured may in particular comprise a communication network 21 and a computing network 22, the communication network 21 in turn comprising in particular an access network 211 and a core network 212. Based on the network structure, the process of decomposing the target network performance index is as follows: determining a first network performance index to be met by the communication network 21 according to the target network performance index; the first computing resource to be provided by the computing network 22 is determined based on the target network performance metrics. The specific decomposition process may be described in the above embodiments, and will not be described herein.

The configuration device 3 may configure the communication network 21 and the computing network 22 according to the decomposition result, after which the terminal device 1 may provide the user with the target service satisfying the quality of service requirement. And during the process of providing the target service, the configuration device 3 may also monitor the network environments of the communication network 21 and the computing network 22 in real time, so as to obtain the second network performance index of the communication network 21 and the second computing resource of the computing network 22.

If the quality of service level of the target service provided to the user by using the second network performance index and the second computing resource cannot meet the user requirement, the configuration device 3 will reconfigure the computer network, that is, implement degradation of the service quality. The quality of service level of the target service provided by the computer network after reconfiguration is reduced to some extent, but the use experience of the user can be ensured. After the network environment is changed, the recovery of the service quality can be realized.

See the relevant description above for the reconfiguration procedure. And other parts of the embodiment not described in detail, reference is made to the relevant description of the embodiment shown in figures 1 to 4. The implementation process and technical effects of this technical solution are described in the embodiments shown in fig. 1 to 4, and are not described herein.

s401, obtaining target network performance indexes to be met by providing automatic driving service.

S402, determining a first network performance index to be met by the computer network and a first computing resource to be provided when the automatic driving service is provided according to the target network performance index.

S403, configuring a computer network according to the first network performance index and the first computing resource to plan a running path of the vehicle through the configured computer network.

The user may trigger a start-up operation of the autopilot service to the vehicle, and the vehicle may send a message to the configuration device in response to the start-up operation to obtain the target network performance index by the configuration device and decompose the target network performance index to obtain the first network performance index and the first computing resource. Specific exploded processes can be seen in the figures 1-4 and related description of the embodiments shown in figure 9 below. Thereafter, the computer network is configured according to the first network performance indicator and the first computing resource. Finally, the road test data acquired by the road test equipment are analyzed and calculated by utilizing the first computing resource of the computer network, so that a running path planned for the vehicle is obtained, and the running path is sent to the vehicle by utilizing the computer network meeting the first network performance index. The vehicle runs according to the running path, thereby realizing the automatic driving of the vehicle. Alternatively, the planned travel path may actually be considered as a path traveled by the vehicle in different travel states, including start-up, acceleration, deceleration, steering, parking, reversing, and the like.

Optionally, during the process of planning the driving path, the configuration device may also monitor the computer network in real time, and if the computer network does not meet the first network performance index and/or does not have the first computing resource, the computer network may be reconfigured.

The above-mentioned vehicles, drive test equipment and configured computer network may form an internet of vehicles. Based on the internet of vehicles, optionally, the computer network may also provide storage services for the driving data for the user. At this time, the configuration device may acquire and decompose the target performance index corresponding to the storage service, and configure the computer network to ensure continuous path planning.

The details of the embodiment not described in detail and the technical effects achieved by the embodiment can be seen in the embodiments shown in fig. 1 to 4 and fig. 9 described below, and will not be described again here.

Fig. 7 is a flowchart of yet another service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7, the method includes the following steps:

s501, obtaining target network performance indexes to be met by providing live broadcast services.

S502, determining a first network performance index to be met by the computer network and a first computing resource to be provided when the live service is provided according to the target network performance index.

S503, configuring a computer network according to the first network performance index and the first computing resource so as to play the live video through the configured computer network.

The user can trigger the live broadcast service starting operation to the live broadcast APP installed on the terminal equipment, for example, the user can trigger the operation of clicking to enter a direct broadcast room in the live broadcast APP. In response to the operation, the terminal device sends a message to the configuration device to obtain the target network performance index by the configuration device, and decomposes the target network performance index to obtain the first network performance index and the first computing resource. Specific exploded processes can be seen in the embodiments described in figures 1-4 and in the following description of figure 8. Thereafter, the configuration device configures the computer network in accordance with the first network performance indicator and the first computing resource. Finally, the live video can be encoded by using the first computing resource of the computer network, and the encoded live video is sent to the terminal device by using the computer network meeting the first network performance index. The user can smoothly watch the live video through the terminal equipment.

Optionally, during the process of playing the live video, the configuration device may also monitor the computer network in real time, and if the computer network does not meet the first network performance index and/or does not have the first computing resource, the computer network may be reconfigured to ensure stable playing of the live video.

The details of the embodiment not described in detail and the technical effects achieved by the embodiment can be seen in the embodiments shown in fig. 1 to 4 and fig. 8 described below, and will not be described again here.

For easy understanding, the specific implementation procedures of the service providing method and the service providing system provided above are exemplarily described in connection with the following different application scenarios.

(1) In a scenario of providing a live broadcast service, a live broadcast APP that can be installed on a terminal device used by a user. And the live service may have different quality of service levels, such as a first level of quality of service corresponding to 1080p live video and a second level of quality of service corresponding to 720p live video. The quality of service at each level provided by the live APP corresponds to a set of preset network performance metrics.

For example, when an APP live video is live and 1080p live video is played, a set of network performance metrics to be met by a computer network includes a network bandwidth of 10M, a network delay of 100ms, and a delay jitter of 10 ms. When the live APP provides a second level of quality of service, a set of network performance metrics to be met by the computer network include 5M network bandwidth, 150ms network delay, 20ms delay jitter.

The user can select the service quality of the corresponding level according to the own requirement. If the user selects the first level of service quality, after the user triggers an opening operation of the live broadcast service, for example, clicks to enter the live broadcast room 1 in the live broadcast APP, the terminal device will send a notification message containing the service identifier and the user identifier to the configuration device in response to the opening operation. The configuration device can determine the two groups of network performance indexes corresponding to the live broadcast APP according to the service identification in the notification message, and then determine 10M network bandwidth, 100ms network delay and 10ms delay jitter as target network performance indexes from the two groups of network performance indexes according to the user identification.

The configuration device may then decompose the target network performance index from a data transmission perspective and a data calculation perspective to obtain a first network performance index to be met by the computer network and a first computing resource to be provided by the computer network.

Alternatively, the computer network may comprise a communication network and a computing network, the communication network comprising an access network and a core network. Based on this computer network structure, the above decomposition process is actually: decomposing the target network performance index to obtain a first network performance index to be met by the communication network, and calculating a first computing resource to be met by the network.

The above-mentioned exemplary target network performance parameters are decomposed from the standpoint of satisfying the data transmission speed and the data calculation speed, so that the network bandwidth to be satisfied by the communication network is 10M, the delay jitter is 10ms, the network delay is 40ms, and the network delay to be satisfied by the calculation network is 60ms. It can be seen that the sum of the delays to be met by the communication network and the computing network is equal to the network delay contained by the target network performance parameter. And the sum of network delays to be met by each network device comprised by the access network and the core network in the communication network is 40ms.

And then, the configuration equipment determines corresponding first computing resources according to the 60ms network time delay to be met by the computing network, wherein the first computing resources can be determined according to the corresponding relation between the preset network time delay and the computing resources.

In the process of index decomposition, the configuration device can also acquire the network environment of the current computer network, and if the current network environment of the computer network can not support the decomposition result, the user can not enter the live broadcasting room 1.

If the current network environment of the computer network can support the above decomposition result, the configuration device may configure the communication network directly according to the network bandwidth of 10M, the delay jitter of 10ms, and the network delay of 40ms, and configure the computing network according to the first computing resource. More specifically, network devices included in the access network and the core network in the communication network each meet a network bandwidth of 10M and a delay jitter of 10ms, and a sum of network delays met by the respective network devices is 40ms.

The data transmission speed provided by the communication network and the data calculation speed provided by the calculation network configured according to the decomposition result can enable the user to smoothly watch 1080p live video, namely, the user can normally enter the live broadcasting room 1. The configuration process realizes linkage and unified configuration of the communication network and the computing network, and realizes linkage and unified configuration of the access network and the core network in the communication network.

In the process of starting and playing live video by the live APP, the computer network environment may change at any time, and the configuration equipment can monitor the network environment in real time to obtain the network environment of the communication network in the current computer network environment as follows: the network bandwidth is 5M, the network delay is 180ms, the delay jitter is 25ms, and the computing network can provide a second computing resource. At this time, the data transmission speed provided by the communication network is slow, the calculation speed provided by the calculation network is slow, and the computer network cannot smoothly provide 1080p video playing service for users.

At this time, the configuration device may obtain the secondary target network performance index required for providing 720p live video, i.e. 5M network bandwidth, 150ms network delay, and 20ms delay jitter. And decomposing the secondary target network performance index, and reconfiguring the computer network according to the decomposition result. After configuration, the user can watch 720p live video, and the user ensures the fluency of video playing on the basis of slightly losing image quality.

In practice, the communication network or the computing network may be separately present in a poor network environment, and in this case, only the communication network or the computing network may be separately reconfigured.

Such a scenario may be understood in conjunction with fig. 8.

(2) In the scenario of providing the autopilot service, unlike the live broadcast service, when the autopilot service is used by a user, the user only needs to plan a driving route in time and drive the autopilot service, so that the service quality level of the autopilot service is generally uniform for the user.

Based on this, the vehicle may send a notification message containing a service identification to the configuration device in response to a user-triggered service initiation operation. The configuration device may determine, according to the service identifier in the notification message, a target network performance indicator corresponding to the autopilot service including: 12M network bandwidth, 50ms network delay, 10ms delay jitter.

Alternatively, the computer network may comprise a communication network and a computing network, the communication network comprising an access network and a core network. Based on the computer network structure, the configuration device decomposes the target network performance index from the data transmission angle and the data calculation angle to obtain a first network performance index to be met by the communication network and a first calculation resource to be met by the calculation network. And the decomposition result is: the communication network has 12M network bandwidth, 10ms delay jitter, 20ms network delay and 30ms network delay. It can be seen that the sum of the delays to be met by the communication network and the computing network is equal to the network delay contained by the target network performance parameter. And the sum of network delays to be met by each network device comprised by the access network and the core network in the communication network is 20ms.

After the decomposition, the configuration device may further determine a corresponding first computing resource according to a 30ms network delay to be satisfied by the computing network, where the first computing resource may be determined according to a preset correspondence between the network delay and the computing resource.

If the current network environment of the computer network can support the above decomposition result, the configuration device may configure the communication network directly according to the network bandwidth of 12M, the delay jitter of 10ms, and the network delay of 20ms, and configure the computing network according to the first computing resource. More specifically, network devices included in the access network and the core network in the communication network each meet a network bandwidth of 12M and a delay jitter of 10ms, and a sum of network delays met by the respective network devices is 20ms.

The data transmission speed provided by the communication network and the data calculation speed provided by the calculation network configured according to the decomposition result can enable the vehicle to enter an automatic driving mode, namely smoothly planning a driving path for a user. The configuration process realizes linkage and unified configuration of the communication network and the computing network, and realizes linkage and unified configuration of the access network and the core network in the communication network.

In addition, the configuration device can also acquire the network environment of the current computer network in the process of index decomposition, and if the current network environment of the computer network can not support the decomposition result, the vehicle can not provide automatic driving service.

Such a scenario may be understood in conjunction with fig. 9.

(3) In the scenario of providing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS for short), the requirement of user presence classification model training is taken as an example for explanation:

in this scenario, the user is typically an enterprise user, and the model training service herein is the target service in the above embodiments, and the quality of service level of the model training service may be reflected in accuracy of classification and training efficiency. The higher the classification accuracy, the higher the training efficiency, and the higher the quality of service level.

When providing model training services with different levels of service quality, a user can select different levels of service quality according to own requirements.

After the user triggers the starting operation of the training service, the configuration equipment determines the target network performance index according to the user identification, decomposes the network target performance index, and configures the communication network and the computing network in the computer network according to the decomposition result. The configured communication network can ensure the service quality selected by the user from the angle of the data transmission speed, and the configured computing network can ensure the service quality from the angle of the computing resource.

In the process of the model training service, the configuration equipment can also monitor the network environment of the whole computer network in real time and adjust the configuration of the communication network and the computing network according to the network environment in real time, so that the model training service can be continuously performed.

The specific decomposition process of the target network performance index and the process of monitoring and reconfiguring the network in real time can be referred to the above scenario and the related description in the above embodiments, which are not repeated here.

Such a scenario may be understood in conjunction with fig. 10.
