Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In addition, the sequence of steps in the embodiments of the methods described below is merely an example, and is not strictly limited.
In an application scenario of the Internet of Vehicles (Internet of Vehicles), when a user wants to use a certain service, the user can generally obtain the corresponding service by installing corresponding software on a vehicle-mounted terminal of a vehicle, and the service includes a safety service such as driving route navigation and an entertainment service such as audio and video playing. When software is installed on a vehicle-mounted terminal, a license corresponding to the software often needs to be acquired. However, as the number of vehicles increases, the management burden of the license is heavier, and the centralized license management method usually causes that the license cannot be issued to the vehicle-mounted terminal in time.
To solve this problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a software license processing system, as shown in fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a software license processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the software license processing system includes: the system comprises a plurality of edge cloud servers, a plurality of network access devices, a vehicle-mounted terminal and a central cloud server.
The edge cloud servers are in communication connection with the central cloud server. The edge cloud server and the central cloud server are pre-stored with software installation packages corresponding to various software identifications provided by a software service provider and license authorization information corresponding to the software identifications; and the license authorization information corresponding to a certain software identifier indicates that the edge cloud server or the central cloud server is authorized to generate the software license corresponding to the software identifier. The method comprises the steps that a full amount of software installation packages and license authorization information are stored in a center cloud server in advance, and common software installation packages and license authorization information are stored in an edge cloud server in advance; the common software installation package can be determined according to information such as the download frequency or the installed quantity of the software in a certain time period.
Any edge cloud server in the edge cloud servers is communicated with the vehicle-mounted terminal through the network access equipment, and the same edge cloud server can be in communication connection with the network access equipment. The network access equipment comprises a drive test Unit (RSU) and a Base Station (BS), and the deployment of the network access equipment is adaptive to a road. In order to reduce the computing load when the network access device is in communication connection with the edge cloud server and improve the communication capacity, most of the edge cloud servers are deployed near the RSU or the base station. In the moving process of the vehicle, the vehicle-mounted terminal accesses network access equipment near the vehicle through a Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) or cellular mobile Communication mode and the like, and is in Communication connection with a corresponding edge cloud server based on the network access equipment.
In the embodiment of the present invention, it may be considered that deployment positions of the edge cloud server and the network access device are fixed, and therefore, a communication connection relationship between the edge cloud server and the network access device is also fixed. In the moving process of the vehicle, the roaming between different edge cloud servers is realized by accessing the network access equipment corresponding to the real-time position of the vehicle.
Assuming that when the vehicle is at a certain position, the network access device currently accessed by the vehicle-mounted terminal is a first network access device, the first network access device is in communication connection with a first edge cloud server, the first edge cloud server is one of the edge cloud servers, and the edge cloud servers are in communication connection with the center cloud server.
Based on the above assumption, when the user using the vehicle wants to install some software on the vehicle-mounted terminal to use the service corresponding to the software, the communication process between the vehicle-mounted terminal, the first network access device, and the first edge cloud server, as shown in fig. 2, may include the following steps:
201. the vehicle-mounted terminal responds to the request installation operation of the user for the software and generates a corresponding software installation request.
202. And the vehicle-mounted terminal sends the software installation request to the first network access equipment.
203. The first network access device sends the software installation request to the first edge cloud server.
Wherein, the operation of requesting the installation of the software by the user may be a selection operation of the software by the user in a software application market of the in-vehicle terminal. The software installation request comprises a software identifier needing to be installed and a vehicle identifier corresponding to the vehicle-mounted terminal.
For example, when a user wants to install a video playing software on the vehicle-mounted terminal to watch a video, in response to a selection operation of the video playing software in the software market of the vehicle-mounted terminal by the user, the vehicle-mounted terminal generates a software installation request corresponding to the video playing software, wherein a software identifier in the software installation request is a software identifier of the video playing software.
204. And if the first edge cloud server determines that the installation package of the target software corresponding to the software identifier in the software installation request and the license authorization information corresponding to the software identifier exist locally, the first edge cloud server generates the license corresponding to the target software.
205. The first edge cloud server sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the first network access device.
206. And the first network access equipment sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the vehicle-mounted terminal.
When the first edge cloud server generates the license corresponding to the target software in step 204, optionally, license configuration information corresponding to the software type may be determined according to the software type corresponding to the target software; then, a license corresponding to the target software is generated according to the license configuration information.
It can be understood that the license contains various configuration information, wherein part of the configuration information can be generated without the user participating in configuration, such as: the system comprises a registration code corresponding to a vehicle-mounted terminal and used for anti-counterfeiting verification, a License Key file (License Key) used in an information encryption transmission process, and configuration information such as a Digital Rights Management (DRM) file used for restricting rights such as copying in a software use process. And part of the configuration information is configured by the user, and the corresponding configuration information can be generated based on the input result of the user, such as: software functions that the user can use, the lifetime of the service, fee collection policies, etc.
In this embodiment, license configuration information corresponding to the software type is determined according to the software type corresponding to the target software, where the license configuration information is specific to the configuration information that can be generated only by the user participating in configuration. For configuration information that can be generated without the user participating in configuration, the determination process can refer to the prior art.
In order to reduce user operations and improve convenience of installing software for a user, the first edge cloud server may previously divide software into different software types based on differences between different pieces of software, and generate corresponding initial license configuration information according to the different software types.
For example, if software is classified according to the service types provided by the software, the software types can be classified into an entertainment class and a security class, wherein the entertainment class software includes: video playing software, weather forecast software and the like; the security class corresponds to software that provides services related to vehicle driving, such as: navigation software, autopilot software, and the like.
When the initial license configuration information corresponding to different types of software is generated in advance, for entertainment software, not all functions are usually provided for the user for free, taking video playing software as an example, some functions included in the software may be used after the user purchases corresponding rights, such as: and playing the video which can be watched by the member. Therefore, in generating the initial license configuration information corresponding to the entertainment software, the configuration content corresponding to the software functions that can be used may be set to include only a part of the functions that satisfy the basic service requirements of the user, not all of the functions.
For security software, the full amount of functionality is usually provided to the user for security. Therefore, when generating the initial license configuration information corresponding to the security software, all functions of the software are generally configured.
The initial license configuration information of the entertainment software and the security software is different in configuration of the software functions that can be used, and also different in terms of service life, fee collection policy, communication link selection policy, and the like of the corresponding services.
For example, for safety software, if the service life is short, frequent expiration may have a certain effect on the safety of vehicle driving; for entertainment software, on one hand, the driving safety of the vehicle is not affected, and on the other hand, users usually prefer to purchase a shorter service life, such as: purchasing members for a month, members for a quarter, etc. Thus, in generating the initial license configuration information, the security class software typically sets a longer service lifetime and the entertainment class software typically sets a shorter service lifetime.
In addition, the communication characteristics corresponding to the entertainment software and the safety software are considered, and different communication link selection priorities can be set for the entertainment software and the safety software. For example, entertainment-type video playing software generally needs to transmit a video stream with a large data volume, and a communication link with a wide bandwidth can be set to have a higher priority; the safety automatic driving software needs to transmit data timely and accurately, and a communication link with a high transmission rate can be set to have a high priority.
Based on the initial license configuration information generated in advance according to the software type, when the first edge cloud server receives the software installation request, the initial license configuration information corresponding to the type to which the target software belongs can be sent to the vehicle-mounted terminal according to the type of the target software corresponding to the software identifier contained in the software installation request, so that the user can edit or confirm the initial license configuration information. Then, the vehicle-mounted terminal feeds back final license configuration information to the first edge cloud server based on the operation of the user. And then, the first edge cloud server generates a license corresponding to the target software according to the final license configuration information.
Specifically, if the user approves the information setting in the initial license configuration information, a confirmation operation may be performed on an interface of the in-vehicle terminal, such as: and clicking a confirmation button, wherein the final license configuration information fed back to the first edge cloud by the vehicle-mounted terminal is the initial license configuration information. If the user does not approve the information setting in the initial license configuration information, editing operation can be performed on an interface of the vehicle-mounted terminal, the information in the initial license configuration information is modified, and in response to the completion of the user editing operation, the vehicle-mounted terminal feeds back the final license configuration information, namely the final modification result of the user, to the first edge cloud server.
Optionally, when determining license configuration information corresponding to the software type, the first edge cloud server may further obtain feature configuration information of a license corresponding to installed software on the vehicle-mounted terminal according to the software type corresponding to the target software, where the installed software is software corresponding to the software type of the target software; then, according to the feature configuration information of the license corresponding to the installed software, determining user preference information corresponding to the software type of the target software; finally, license configuration information is determined according to the user preference information.
The feature configuration information of the license is part of the configuration information included in the license. The feature configuration information of the license is used to determine preference information of the user. In the specific implementation process, the type of the configuration information included in the feature configuration information of the license can be set by a user, for example, the configuration information reflecting the personal habits of the user, such as the time when the user purchases the member service, the charging mode after the service life is expired, and the like, is set as the feature configuration information.
Based on the feature configuration information of the license, when determining the user preference information corresponding to the software type of the target software, the first edge cloud server only needs to acquire the feature configuration information of the license corresponding to the installed software on the vehicle-mounted terminal, and does not need to acquire all the configuration information of the license. Therefore, the data transmission amount between the vehicle-mounted terminal and the first edge cloud server can be reduced.
It is easy to understand that some software is installed on the vehicle-mounted terminal before the target software is installed, and for the installed software, when a user determines the corresponding license configuration information, certain configuration habits exist, namely, a certain user prefers to buy a member service monthly when installing entertainment software, and selects automatic renewal after the service life is expired. Therefore, by statistically analyzing the feature configuration information of the license corresponding to the installed software of the same software type as that of the target software, the preference information of the user can be determined; then, based on the determined user preference information, license configuration information that may be of interest to the user may be initially automatically generated for the user and provided to the user for confirmation.
If the user approves the preliminarily generated license configuration information, the first edge cloud server directly generates a license corresponding to the target software according to the preliminarily generated license configuration information; if the user does not approve the preliminarily generated license configuration information, the user can modify the preliminarily generated license configuration information, and then the first edge cloud server generates a license corresponding to the target software according to the modified license configuration information.
By determining the license configuration information of the target software according to the preference information of the user, the interaction between the user and the vehicle-mounted terminal can be effectively reduced, and the convenience of the user in installing the target software is improved.
Based on the determination policy of the license configuration information, after determining the license configuration information corresponding to the software type of the target software, the first edge cloud server generates the license corresponding to the target software according to the determined license configuration information.
And the vehicle-mounted terminal receives the installation package of the target software corresponding to the software identifier in the software installation request and the license corresponding to the target software fed back by the first edge cloud server, and installs the target software.
In an optional embodiment, in order to ensure that the information of the central cloud server and the information of the edge cloud servers are synchronized, after the first edge cloud server completes the generation processing of the license corresponding to the target software, the first edge cloud server may further send the vehicle identifier in the software installation request and the generated license corresponding to the target software to the central cloud server for storage.
Since the generation of the license requires a certain amount of time, the vehicle may be in a traveling state during the time when the license is generated, and the first edge cloud server may exit the communication coverage of the first edge cloud server.
Fig. 3 is an interaction flowchart of another software license processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, the method may include the following steps:
301. the vehicle-mounted terminal responds to the request installation operation of the user for the software and generates a corresponding software installation request.
302. And the vehicle-mounted terminal sends the software installation request and the vehicle running state information to the first network access equipment.
303. The first network access device sends the software installation request and the vehicle driving state information to the first edge cloud server.
304. And if the first edge cloud server determines that the installation package of the target software corresponding to the software identifier in the software installation request and the license authorization information corresponding to the software identifier exist locally, the first edge cloud server generates the license corresponding to the target software.
The specific processes of step 301 to step 304 are similar to those in the processing method of the software license illustrated in fig. 2, and are not described again here.
The driving state information of the vehicle includes position information of the vehicle, a vehicle direction angle, acceleration and the like, and may be obtained by various sensors mounted on the vehicle to predict a driving position of the vehicle.
305. And the first edge cloud server predicts the vehicle running position according to the vehicle running state information so as to determine a target edge cloud server corresponding to the vehicle position when the license corresponding to the target software is generated.
In step 305, if the first edge cloud server determines that the license corresponding to the target software is generated, and the target edge cloud server corresponding to the vehicle location is still the first edge cloud server, that is, the vehicle location is still within the communication coverage of the first edge cloud server, then step 306 and step 307 are executed.
If the first edge cloud server determines that the license corresponding to the target software is generated, and the target edge cloud server corresponding to the vehicle location is a second edge cloud server different from the first edge cloud server, then steps 308 to 310 are performed. The first edge cloud server is in wired connection with the second edge cloud server.
306. And the first edge cloud server sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the first network access equipment.
307. And the first network access equipment sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the vehicle-mounted terminal.
308. The first edge cloud server sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the second edge cloud server.
309. And the second edge cloud server sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the second network access equipment.
310. And the second network access equipment sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the vehicle-mounted terminal.
And after receiving the installation package of the target software corresponding to the software identifier in the software installation request and the license corresponding to the target software, which are fed back by the first edge cloud server or the second edge cloud server, the vehicle-mounted terminal installs the target software.
In the above-described embodiment, the software license processing method illustrated in fig. 2 and 3 corresponds to a case where the first edge cloud server locally has the installation package of the target software corresponding to the software identifier in the software installation request, and the license authorization information corresponding to the software identifier.
For a case that license authorization information corresponding to a software identifier does not exist locally in a first edge cloud server, an embodiment of the present invention provides another software license processing method, as shown in fig. 4, which may include the following steps:
401. the vehicle-mounted terminal responds to the request installation operation of the user for the software and generates a corresponding software installation request.
402. And the vehicle-mounted terminal sends the software installation request to the first network access equipment.
403. The first network access device sends the software installation request to the first edge cloud server.
It should be noted that, after receiving the software installation request, the first edge cloud server determines whether an installation package of the target software corresponding to the software identifier in the software installation request and license authorization information corresponding to the software identifier exist locally. It is easy to understand that, if the license authorization information corresponding to the software identifier does not exist locally in the first edge cloud server, the license of the target software corresponding to the software identifier cannot be generated correspondingly, and then the vehicle-mounted terminal cannot install the target software. Since the central cloud server stores the full amount of software installation package and license authorization information in advance, when the license authorization information corresponding to the software identifier does not exist locally in the first edge cloud server, step 404 is executed.
404. The first edge cloud server forwards the software installation request to the central cloud server.
405. And the central cloud server acquires the installation package of the target software corresponding to the software identifier and generates the license corresponding to the target software.
406. And the central cloud server sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the first edge cloud server.
407. And the first edge cloud server sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the first network access equipment.
408. And the first network access equipment sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the vehicle-mounted terminal.
In step 405, the process of generating the license corresponding to the target software by the central cloud server is similar to the process of generating the license corresponding to the target software by the first edge cloud, and is not described herein again.
And the vehicle-mounted terminal receives the installation package of the target software corresponding to the software identifier in the software installation request and the license corresponding to the target software fed back by the first edge cloud server, and installs the target software.
As described above, in the process of generating the license, the vehicle is in a traveling state, and there is a possibility that the first edge cloud server communication coverage is exited, and in order to ensure that the installation package and the license of the target software can be transmitted to the in-vehicle terminal, the center cloud server needs to predict the traveling position of the vehicle.
For this reason, in a case that the license authorization information corresponding to the software identifier does not exist locally in the first edge cloud server, an embodiment of the present invention provides another software license processing method, as shown in fig. 5, which may include the following steps:
501. the vehicle-mounted terminal responds to the request installation operation of the user for the software and generates a corresponding software installation request.
502. And the vehicle-mounted terminal sends the software installation request and the vehicle running state information to the first network access equipment.
503. The first network access device sends the software installation request and the vehicle driving state information to the first edge cloud server.
504. The first edge cloud server forwards the software installation request and the vehicle driving state information to the center cloud server.
505. And the central cloud server acquires the installation package of the target software corresponding to the software identifier and generates the license corresponding to the target software.
The specific processes of step 501 to step 505 are similar to those in the processing method of the software license illustrated in fig. 4, and are not described again here.
The driving state information of the vehicle includes position information of the vehicle, a vehicle direction angle, acceleration and the like, and may be obtained by various sensors mounted on the vehicle to predict a driving position of the vehicle.
506. And the central cloud server predicts the vehicle running position according to the vehicle running state information so as to determine a target edge cloud server corresponding to the vehicle position when the license corresponding to the target software is generated.
In step 506, if the first edge cloud server determines that the license corresponding to the target software is generated, and the target edge cloud server corresponding to the vehicle location is still the first edge cloud server, that is, the vehicle location is still within the communication coverage of the first edge cloud server, step 507 and step 509 are executed.
If the first edge cloud server determines that the license corresponding to the target software is generated, and the target edge cloud server corresponding to the vehicle location is a third edge cloud server different from the first edge cloud server, then steps 510 to 512 are performed.
507. And the central cloud server sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the first edge cloud server.
508. And the first edge cloud server sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the first network access equipment.
509. And the first network access equipment sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the vehicle-mounted terminal.
510. And the central cloud server sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the third edge cloud server.
511. And the third edge cloud server sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the third network access equipment.
512. And the third network access equipment sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the vehicle-mounted terminal.
And after receiving the installation package of the target software corresponding to the software identifier in the software installation request and the license corresponding to the target software, which are fed back by the first edge cloud server or the third edge cloud server, the vehicle-mounted terminal installs the target software.
In an optional embodiment, it is assumed that when the vehicle-mounted terminal completes installation of the target software and a user starts to use a service corresponding to the target software, a network access device currently accessed by the vehicle-mounted terminal is a first network access device, and the first network access device is in communication connection with the first edge cloud server.
Based on the above assumptions, fig. 6 is an interaction flowchart of another software license processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, which may include the following steps:
601. the vehicle-mounted terminal responds to the use operation of the target software by the user and generates a software use request corresponding to the target software.
602. And the vehicle-mounted terminal sends the software use request to the first network access equipment.
603. The first network access device sends the software use request to the first edge cloud server.
The operation of the user on the target software may be a service providing interface of the user on the target software, and a selection operation on a certain service, for example, a service interface of the user on navigation software, selects to generate a driving route from the place a to the place B. The software use request comprises a license corresponding to the target software.
604. And the first edge cloud server performs authentication processing on the software use request according to the license.
If the authentication is passed, step 605 is executed.
605. And the first edge cloud server sends service data corresponding to the software use request to the first network access equipment.
606. And the first network access equipment transmits the service data corresponding to the software use request to the vehicle-mounted terminal.
Since the set license configuration information restricts the service use authority of the user when using the service provided by the target software when the license is generated for the target software, the authentication processing of the software use request according to the license can be understood as determining whether the service requested by the software service request is within the use authority of the user according to the license configuration information contained in the license, and if the service is within the use authority of the user, the authentication is considered to be passed.
For example, assuming that the target software is a video player, the software use request is a video that can only be viewed by a member, and when the software use request is authenticated according to the license of the video player, if verification information such as a registration code in license configuration information of the license is verified to pass and the license configuration information indicates that the member service of the user is still within the usable period, the authentication is considered to pass, and video data corresponding to the video is provided to the vehicle-mounted terminal.
607. And if the first edge cloud server determines that the license corresponding to the target software meets the expiration reminding condition, generating expiration prompting information.
608. And the first edge cloud server sends the expiration prompt information to the first network access equipment.
609. And the first network access equipment sends the overdue prompt information to the vehicle-mounted terminal.
It is easy to understand that when the first edge cloud server performs authentication processing, various license configuration information in the license corresponding to the target software can be obtained, wherein the license configuration information includes information such as service use time limit, and when the first edge cloud server determines that the license corresponding to the target software meets the expiration reminding condition, the expiration reminding information is output to the vehicle-mounted terminal to remind a user to update the license corresponding to the target software. After the vehicle-mounted terminal receives the expiration prompt information, the user can input information on a configuration interface of the vehicle-mounted terminal to re-determine license configuration information, and the first edge cloud server updates the license corresponding to the target software based on the re-determined license configuration information.
The expiration reminding condition of the license can be configured when the license is generated, and can also be flexibly set through a configuration interface of the vehicle-mounted terminal in the process of using the target software, for example, when the license is generated, the expiration reminding information is sent when the service life is 5 days after the service life is due.
Based on the software license management system provided by the embodiment of the invention, after the vehicle-mounted terminal sends the software installation request to the first edge cloud server through the first network access device, if the first edge cloud server locally has the installation package of the target software corresponding to the software identifier in the software installation request and the license authorization information corresponding to the software identifier, the license corresponding to the target software is directly generated, and the installation package and the license of the target software are sent to the vehicle-mounted terminal through the first network access device, so that the vehicle-mounted terminal installs the target software. If the first edge cloud server does not locally have the installation package of the target software corresponding to the software identifier in the software installation request, forwarding the software installation request to the central cloud server so that the central cloud server acquires the installation package of the target software corresponding to the software identifier and generates a license; and then, the first edge cloud server receives the installation package and the license of the target software fed back by the central cloud server, and sends the installation package and the license of the target software to the vehicle-mounted terminal through the first network access device, so that the vehicle-mounted terminal installs the target software.
Therefore, the license corresponding to the software identifier in the partial software installation request can be generated by the first edge cloud server, and on one hand, the license management burden of the center cloud server can be reduced; on the other hand, because the edge cloud server is mostly arranged near the network access device, the communication distance with the vehicle-mounted terminal is short, and the edge cloud server only needs to generate and send the license for the vehicle-mounted terminal in the communication coverage range of the edge cloud server through the network access device, the corresponding license management burden is not large, and the license corresponding to the software to be installed can be rapidly and efficiently provided for the vehicle-mounted terminal.
In addition, when the license of the target software is generated and the installation package and the license of the target software corresponding to the software identifier are sent to the vehicle-mounted terminal, the running position of the vehicle is predicted based on the running state information of the vehicle, the installation package and the license of the target software are sent to the second edge cloud server matched with the position of the vehicle through the wired connection between the edge cloud servers, the installation package and the license of the target software are sent to the vehicle-mounted terminal through the second edge cloud server, and the vehicle-mounted terminal can be ensured to receive the installation package and the license of the target software.
