Based on the above description, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a charging rule adjustment method that can be executed by the above-mentioned electronic device (terminal or server); alternatively, the charging rule adjustment method may be performed by the terminal and the server together. For convenience of explanation, the method for adjusting the charging rule is executed by the electronic device in the following description; as shown in fig. 1, the charging rule adjustment method may include the following steps S101 to S103:

s101, acquiring at least one charging rule of a target product under a target object, and acquiring call data generated by calling the target product by the target object within a target time range, wherein the call data comprises N pieces of data to be charged, and N is a non-negative integer.

The charging rule may also be called a charging mode, a charging policy, a charging scheme, a charging card, etc. It should be understood that the charging rules are different, as are the meanings; for example, when outputting data products to the outside, an enterprise (i.e., a product provider) may typically charge for the usage of the client (i.e., an object, such as a target object), where usage charging refers to charging based on the usage of the resource by the client, including the number of calls (i.e., usage or usage) or the usage time. It should be noted that, when charging is performed according to the number of calls, one piece of data to be charged may refer to: calling single data to be charged generated by a target product once, wherein the calling times are N; when charging according to the usage time, a piece of data to be charged may also refer to: using a piece of time data generated by the target product, wherein the using time can be the sum of N pieces of data to be charged, and the like; the invention does not limit the specific content of the data to be charged. Accordingly, the target object may refer to any one of the served objects, and the target product may refer to any one of the provided products, and any one of the products may also be used to indicate the corresponding service, and so on.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the charging rules include, but are not limited to: pay-per-view, step-of-charge, excess package volume, segment package volume, unreachable package volume, subscription charging, and a mixed free and paid mode, etc.; the invention is not limited in this regard. Wherein, pay-per-view: charging according to the calling times and charging according to the single price of the product; step charging: as the number of calls increases, the billing criteria may gradually increase or decrease, such as full progressive steps: the number of steps exceeds 1, the full adaptation is carried out on the step 2, the charging is carried out according to a single price a in the interval (namely, the number of steps does not exceed 1), and after the number of steps exceeds 1, all calls are singly charged according to a new price b, and the charging is carried out according to the excessive progressive steps: the step number exceeding 1 is adapted to the step 2, the excess part is charged according to a single price a in the interval, and the excess part is charged according to a single new price b after the step number exceeding 1; excess packet amount fee: a packet quantity is predetermined, if the packet quantity is exceeded, additional payment is required, or the number of steps is exceeded by 1 st step, the excess part is adapted to the step 2, and the charging is exceeded by single piece; segmentation packet quantity: step charging is included, if the number of times exceeds the 1 st step, the excess is adapted to the 2 nd step, the total charging price is the sum of the step charging prices, and the cost is counted according to the total product price in the calling interval; amount of unread amount of packets: if the amount is reached, the price is charged according to the total price, and if the amount is not reached, the price of each product is charged according to the number of packages; subscription charging: subscription is carried out monthly or yearly, and fixed fees are paid; free and paid mixed mode: some services are offered for free, while other services are charged for, etc.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned at least one charging rule and the acquisition mode of the call data include, but are not limited to, the following:

the first acquisition mode is as follows: the electronic device may obtain a rule download link of at least one charging rule, may obtain a data download link of the call data, and perform rule download according to the rule download link, and perform data download according to the data download link, so that the charging rule downloaded based on the rule download link is used as at least one charging rule, and the data downloaded based on the data download link is used as the call data.

The second acquisition mode is as follows: the electronic equipment stores a charging rule set, wherein one charging rule set comprises a plurality of charging rules, and then the electronic equipment can select at least one charging rule from the charging rule set stored by the electronic equipment; correspondingly, the electronic equipment stores call data generated by calling the target product by the target object in a plurality of time ranges, and the electronic equipment can select call data generated by calling the target product by the target object in the target time range from the call data stored by the electronic equipment.

The third acquisition mode is as follows: the electronic device may have a billing rule generation component based thereon that the electronic device may employ to generate at least one billing rule for the target product under the target object. The charging rule generating component may include a charging rule management page (i.e., a client management interface or an object management interface) to perform background system configuration on the charging rule through the object management page; optionally, the electronic device may display the charging rule configuration page through the object management page, so that the charging rule is configured (i.e. generated) through the charging rule configuration page. Accordingly, the generation of the charging rule may be referred to as configuration of the charging card, the detailed information required for the charging logic corresponding to the charging rule is mainly determined according to the contract signing situation of the client, and the content of configuring the charging rule may include, but is not limited to: billing name, object identification, billing validation time, expiration time, products to which they pertain, and price and billing logic required for different billing, etc., as shown in fig. 2. The object identifier may be an object name or an object number, which is not limited in the present invention.

It should be noted that the charging rules may be stored in a relational database (such as MySQL or Oracle) to facilitate verification and historical data retention; alternatively, the charging rules may be stored in a non-relational database, which is not limited by the present invention.

It should be understood that, the above target time range may refer to a time range from a start time to a certain end time, and the specific value of the target time range is not limited in the present invention; for example, assuming that the electronic device calculates, in real time, the cost information required for the target object to call the target product, the interval time for calculating the cost information is 5 seconds, and the start time is t1, the end time point may be t2 or t2+5, respectively, and when calculating the cost information required for the target object to call the target product in the time range from the start time t1 to the end time point t2, the target time range is equal to the time range from the start time t1 to the end time point t 2; accordingly, in calculating the cost information required for the target object to call the target product in the time range from the start time t1 to the end time t2+5, the target time range is equal to the time range from the start time t1 to the end time t2+5, and so on.

S102, respectively carrying out cost calculation on the N pieces of data to be charged according to each charging rule in at least one charging rule to obtain a cost information set, wherein the cost information set comprises cost information of the N pieces of data to be charged under each charging rule.

For example, assume that the target object purchases and calls the target product (such as data product C), and three charging rules are signed by the target object and the product provider for the target product, namely charging according to the calling times, charging by the excess package amount and charging by the unread package amount, and the contract validity period is one year, then three charging rules of the target object under the target product need to be configured. Based on this, assuming that the number of calls of the target object to the target product is 100w (i.e., the above-mentioned call data includes 100w data to be charged) from the start time to a certain time point T1 (i.e., within the target time range) in the validity period, the electronic device may use the number of calls of 100w to calculate the charge information for charging according to the number of calls, the excess packet amount charging, and the unread packet amount charging, respectively, so as to implement charge calculation for the 100w data to be charged according to the three charging rules, respectively, thereby obtaining a charge information set, where the charge information set may include the charge information of the 100w data to be charged under the number of calls, the charge information of the 100w data to be charged under the excess packet amount charging, and the charge information of the 100w data to be charged under the unread packet amount charging.

S103, selecting target expense information from the expense information set, taking the target expense information as expense information required by calling a target product in a target time range, and calling a charging rule corresponding to the target product in the target time range by the target object as follows: charging rules corresponding to the target fee information.

It should be understood that the existing charging rules are not transparent enough, when the charging rules are different, the target object is difficult to compare among a plurality of charging rules, so that the situation of expenditure and self-income range cannot be judged in advance, the charging rules cannot be adjusted according to actual requirements, even when the target object uses services exceeding the charging range, the situation that the target object and the target product provider cannot unify the cost after the excessive charging is caused by the fact that the corresponding charging rules are not available, and the like. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can configure at least one charging rule for the target product aiming at the target object, so that the charging rule corresponding to the target product, namely the optimal charging rule, is determined in the at least one charging rule, and the target object calls the charging rule corresponding to the target product in the target time range.

In a specific implementation, when the target expense information is selected in the expense information set, the electronic device can select the target expense information from the expense information set according to the size relation of each expense information in the expense information set, wherein the target expense information is smaller than any expense information except the target expense information in the expense information set.

For example, assuming that the number of at least one charging rule is 3, and N pieces of to-be-charged data generated by calling the target product by the target object in the target time range are respectively M1, M2 and M3 in the cost information under the 3 charging rules, the electronic device may select the minimum cost information Min (M1, M2, M3) as the target cost information M, that is, as the cost information required by the target object to call the target product in the target time range, and at the same time, calculate the charging rule of the target cost information M (that is, the charging rule corresponding to the target cost information M) as the charging rule corresponding to the target product to be called by the target object in the target time range, that is, the optimal charging rule of the target product to be called by the target object in the target time range.

Based on the above description, the embodiments of the present invention also provide a more specific charging rule adjustment method, in which at least one charging rule of a target product under a target object is selected from a charging rule set, and the charging rule set is determined by a rule data source, that is, the charging rule set may change with a change of the rule data source. Accordingly, the charging rule adjustment method may be performed by the above-mentioned electronic device (terminal or server); alternatively, the charging rule adjustment method may be performed by the terminal and the server together. For convenience of explanation, the method for adjusting the charging rule is executed by the electronic device in the following description; referring to fig. 3, the charging rule adjustment method may include the following steps S301 to S305:

s301, when an updating instruction aiming at a rule data source is detected, updating the rule data source to obtain an updated rule data source, and determining change instruction data, wherein the change instruction data comprises the updated rule data source or charging rules indicated by the updating instruction.

Wherein the rule data source may include a billing rule for each of at least one product under a respective object, the at least one product including the target product, the at least one object formed by the respective objects including the target object. It should be appreciated that the rule data sources may be in one-to-one correspondence with the charging rule sets such that the charging rules in the charging rule sets should be the same as the charging rules in the rule data sources; based on the above, when the rule data source only includes the charging rule of the target product under the target object, each charging rule in the charging rule set is the charging rule of the target product under the target object.

Specifically, the electronic device may include an object management interface, and the user (i.e., the product provider) may perform a charging rule update operation through the object management interface; in this case, the electronic device may detect an update instruction for the rule data source. Wherein, the charging rule updating operation may refer to charging rule adding operation, and the updating instruction may refer to charging rule adding instruction; the charging rule updating operation may also refer to a charging rule modification operation, and the updating instruction may refer to a charging rule modification instruction at this time, and so on; the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments of the charging rule updating operation and the updating instruction.

S302, based on the change indication data, the charging rule sets are synchronized in real time, and the charging rule sets after the real-time synchronization are obtained.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may include a change data capturing (ChangeData Capture, CDC) module, which may also be referred to as a captured data change module, and the rule data source may be monitored by the change data capturing module, based on which, when the electronic device monitors that the rule data source is updated through the change data capturing module, the electronic device may synchronize the charging rule set in real time based on change instruction data through the change data capturing module, so as to obtain the charging rule set after real-time synchronization. Wherein the change data capturing module may refer to a flankcdc (an open source flank frame-based change data capturing tool); alternatively, the change data capturing module may also refer to SQL Server CDC (change data capturing tool based on relational database management system), and so on; the invention is not limited in this regard. The Apache Flink is a framework and a distributed processing engine, and is also a stream processing framework, which can be used for performing state calculation on unbounded and bounded data streams, and the Flink can provide an infinite data set, and has the advantages of low delay, high throughput, higher accuracy and better fault tolerance.

It should be noted that, the change data capturing module in the electronic device may obtain change instruction data, so as to synchronize the charging rule set in real time by using the change instruction data, and obtain the charging rule set after real-time synchronization; it should be understood that when the change indication data includes an updated rule data source, the electronic device may use the updated rule data source as a real-time synchronized charging rule set through the change data capturing module, that is, the updated rule data source may be adopted to synchronize all charging rules in the charging rule set in real time, so as to obtain a synchronized charging rule; when the change indication data comprises the charging rules indicated by the update instruction, the charging rules indicated by the update instruction can be adopted to carry out real-time synchronization of part of the charging rules on the charging rule set, so as to obtain the charging rules after real-time synchronization.

Further, the electronic device may further include a cache module and a stream processing framework module. In one embodiment, the charging rule set is located in the caching module and the flow processing framework module; based on the above, when the charging rule set is synchronized in real time based on the change instruction data by the change data capturing module to obtain the charging rule set after real-time synchronization, the electronic device can synchronize the charging rule set in the cache module in real time based on the change instruction data by the change data capturing module to obtain the charging rule set after real-time synchronization; then, the electronic device may synchronize the charging rule set in the stream processing frame module in real time using the real-time synchronized charging rule set in the buffer module, so that the stream processing frame module includes the real-time synchronized charging rule set. Optionally, the electronic device may synchronize the charging rule set in the cache module in real time based on the change instruction data by changing the data capturing module, and synchronize the charging rule set in the stream processing frame module in real time based on the change instruction data by changing the data capturing module, so that the cache module and the stream processing frame module both include the charging rule set after real-time synchronization.

In another embodiment, the charging rule set is located in the buffer module, and then the electronic device can synchronize the charging rule set in the buffer module in real time based on the change indication data by changing the data capturing module, so as to obtain the charging rule set after real-time synchronization.

Wherein, the cache module may refer to Redis (one kind of non-relational database), hbase (another kind of non-relational database), and so on; the invention is not limited in this regard. Accordingly, the stream processing framework module may refer to a Flink framework, a Storm framework (a stream processing framework that focuses on very low latency), and so on; the invention is not limited in this regard.

S303, obtaining at least one charging rule of a target product under a target object from the charging rule set after real-time synchronization, and obtaining call data generated by calling the target product by the target object within a target time range, wherein the call data comprises N pieces of data to be charged, and N is a non-negative integer.

It should be noted that, the electronic device may obtain, through the flow processing framework module, at least one charging rule of the target product under the target object. In one embodiment, when the buffer module and the stream processing frame module both include a real-time synchronized charging rule set, the electronic device may obtain, by the stream processing frame module, at least one charging rule of the target product under the target object from the real-time synchronized charging rule set located in the stream processing frame module; in another embodiment, when only the buffer module includes the charging rule after real-time synchronization, the electronic device may obtain, through the stream processing framework module, at least one charging rule of the target product under the target object from the charging rules after real-time synchronization in the buffer module, so as to update at least one charging rule of the target product under the target object in the stream processing framework module.

Illustratively, the stream processing framework module is a Flink, the cache module is a Redis, and the change data capturing module is a FlinkCDC, where the FlinkCDC may synchronize changes of the rule data source to the Flink in real time for real-time cost calculation. Specifically, the electronic device may monitor the rule data source in the database (i.e. charging rule monitoring) through the FlinkCDC, and insert, update and delete the data table in the database, so as to obtain the change indication data (such as charging rule adding and changing conditions) in real time, and further obtain the latest charging rule (i.e. at least one charging rule of the target product in the charging rule set after real-time synchronization under the target object); based on this, the electronic device may store the latest billing rules to Redis and synchronize to Flink through FlinkCDC, as shown in FIG. 4. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can better solve the problem of synchronization of the database and the cache data by changing the data capturing module.

It should be noted that, the enterprise has explicit charging standard or billing standard for the product provided by the enterprise, that is, the indexes that we need to monitor, such as the data volume (i.e. call number) requested by each object, the frequency of the request, whether the query is successful, etc., where these indexes can reflect the usage situation of the object and provide the information required by the enterprise, and the indexes corresponding to the target object for calling the target product in the target time range are obtained according to the call data. The call data can refer to log data in a production environment, and can be used for fault detection, performance analysis, safety monitoring, business analysis and the like; correspondingly, for enterprises of the output products, the real-time log data monitoring and collection can collect data such as object behaviors, business operations and the like, so that the calling condition of a client is counted for cost calculation and analysis; that is, the call data may include data such as behavior and business operations of the target object.

Specifically, the electronic device may perform a first logic process on the call data to obtain N data to be charged in the call data, and may perform a second logic process on the N data to be charged to obtain a target charging indicator, so as to perform a fee calculation on the N data to be charged according to each charging rule in the at least one charging rule, respectively, to obtain a fee information set, and perform a fee calculation on the target charging indicator according to each charging rule in the at least one charging rule, respectively, to obtain a fee information set, so as to implement a fee calculation on the N data to be charged. The first logic process and the second logic process may be logic processing operations in ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) logic process, that is, the first logic process or the second logic process may be at least one of the logic processes of Extract (Extract), transform (Transform), load (Load), and the like. Therefore, the electronic equipment can perform ETL logic processing on the call data to obtain the target charging index.

For example, the call data may include a plurality of data, and the first logic process is an extraction logic process, and then the electronic device may extract N data to be charged from the plurality of data, i.e. may obtain the required field data from the call data for use in the charging logic. Based on this, charging is performed according to the number of calls, and one piece of data to be charged means: when single data to be charged generated by a target product is called once, the electronic equipment can convert N pieces of data to be charged into target charging indexes through second logic processing, and the target charging indexes are call times corresponding to the N pieces of data to be charged; alternatively, charging is performed according to the usage time, and one piece of data to be charged means: when using one time data generated by the target product, the electronic device can convert the N data to be charged into the target charging index through the second logic processing, and the target charging index is the use time corresponding to the N data to be charged.

Further, the data generated by each object calling product may be stored in the target message queue, that is, the call data generated by the target object calling the target product in the target time range is stored in the target message queue, and then the electronic device may obtain the call data generated by the target object calling the target product in the target time range from the target message queue; any one of the call data is different from the other data in the call data. Accordingly, the electronic device may obtain, through the stream processing framework module, call data generated by calling the target product by the target object within the target time range from the target message queue, where in this case, the call data obtained by the stream processing framework module does not include duplicate data, that is, for any one of the call data, the any one data is obtained only once by the stream processing framework module, so as to implement precise once (exact-once) of the target message queue and the stream processing framework module, which may also be referred to as precise coincidence. The target message queue may be referred to as Kafka (one message queue), rock mq (another message queue), and so on; the invention is not limited in this regard. The Kafka has the characteristics of high throughput, sustainable data storage, easy expansion of a distributed system and the like, and is superior to other message queue frames in a data acquisition and transmission flow. For example, assuming that the flow processing frame module is a link and the target message queue is Kafka, the electronic device may collect Kafka data in real time through the flow processing frame module, and use the collected data as call data, based on which the electronic device may perform logic processing in the link, so as to obtain N data to be charged in the call data.

S304, respectively carrying out cost calculation on the N pieces of data to be charged according to each charging rule in at least one charging rule to obtain a cost information set, wherein the cost information set comprises cost information of the N pieces of data to be charged under each charging rule.

In the embodiment of the invention, the charging rule adjusting method refers to a process of continuously adjusting and optimizing the charging rule by adopting a real-time calculation mode according to the use condition of a real-time monitoring object, and the charging rule adjusting method provided by the invention can also be called as a real-time charging rule adjusting method.
