Description

Resource management method and system

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to a method and a system for resource management.

Background

Conference resources of an enterprise are generally divided into shared resources (e.g., concurrent resources) and shared resources (e.g., virtual meeting room (virtual meeting room, VMR) resources). The shared resources do not need to be distributed in advance, so that the shared resources can be shared and used by enterprise users, namely a plurality of conferences, and the special resources need to be distributed in advance and cannot be shared and used by the enterprise users, namely a conference. The occupancy rate of the shared resource will increase as the number of conferences and conference participants increases, while the occupancy rate of the dedicated resource will increase as the number of conference participants increases although not occupied by other conferences, and both the shared resource and the dedicated resource will prohibit new conference participants from participating when the occupancy rate reaches an upper limit.

Thus, when a meeting is initiated to invite a new meeting participant to the meeting, due to the limited meeting resources of the meeting, it may occur that meeting resources of the meeting reach an upper limit that prohibits the new meeting participant from meeting. At this time, the conference host either kicks off part of the conference participants of the conference to let the new conference participants join the conference, or contacts the enterprise administrator to delete some non-critical conference release part of the shared resources when the conference is a shared resource conference, or contacts the enterprise administrator to allocate the shared resources with larger specification when the conference is a shared resource conference and notifies the conference participants of the conference and the new conference participants to all rejoin the newly allocated conference. Therefore, in the existing resource management method, the shared resources and the dedicated shared resources are independent of each other and can only be singly managed, so that when the enterprise has idle shared resources or dedicated shared resources, the resources cannot be switched to use, thereby resulting in lower resource utilization rate and poorer user experience.

Disclosure of Invention

The embodiment of the application provides a resource management method and a system, which are used for solving the problems that the resource utilization rate is low and the user experience is poor because the existing resource management method cannot be used in a switching way when an enterprise has idle shared resources or special shared resources.

In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a resource management method, which is applied to a conference management service of a resource management system, where the resource management system further includes a conference resource service, a conference scheduling service, and a conference control service, and the method includes: the conference management service receives a first request sent by any enterprise user; wherein the first request indicates that the any enterprise user applies to create a first meeting or increase the number of enterprise users accessing the first meeting; in response to the first request, the conference management service sending a second request to the conference scheduling service when a first right is initiated; the first authority indicates that the first conference can perform conference resource dynamic scheduling, the second request indicates that the conference scheduling service subscribes a state of a first conference resource of the first conference to the conference resource service, and sends a conference resource dynamic scheduling policy to the conference control service based on the state of the first conference resource, and the conference resource dynamic scheduling policy indicates that the conference control service updates the first conference resource.

Through the design, the conference management service can determine whether the enterprise user starts the conference resource dynamic scheduling authority when the enterprise user applies for creating the conference or increasing the number of the enterprise users accessing the conference, if so, the conference scheduling service is instructed to subscribe the conference resource state of the conference to the conference resource service, and the conference resource dynamic scheduling strategy is sent to the conference control service based on the conference resource state to update the conference resource of the conference, so that when the conference resource of the conference reaches the upper limit, the idle conference resource of the enterprise can be dynamically scheduled to update the conference resource of the conference, thereby realizing smooth expansion of the conference resource of the conference, improving the resource utilization rate and improving the user experience.

In one possible design, after the conference management service receives the first request sent by any enterprise user, if the first request indicates that the any enterprise user applies to create the first conference, the conference management service may further send a third request or a fourth request to the conference resource service based on the type of the first conference resource carried in the first request, and receive a successful response of the third request or the fourth request returned by the conference resource service; wherein the third request indicates that the conference resource service allocates the first conference resource for the first conference after determining that there are free shared resources, and the fourth request indicates that the conference resource service allocates the first conference resource for the first conference after determining that there are free shared resources; the conference management service may send a fifth request to the conference control service; wherein the fifth request instructs the conference control service to initiate the first conference and to periodically send the state of the first conference resource to the conference resource service.

Through the design, when enterprise users apply for creating the conference, the conference management service can instruct the conference resource service to determine whether idle conference resources are allocated to the conference based on the type of conference resources of the conference carried in the application, and instruct the conference control service to start the conference and send the state of the conference resources of the conference to the conference resource service at regular time if the idle conference resources are determined to be allocated to the conference, so that the state of the conference resources of the conference can be monitored in real time, the resource utilization rate is improved, and the user experience is improved.

In one possible design, the conference management service may send a third request or a fourth request to the conference resource service based on the type of the first conference resource, and receive a successful response to the third request or the fourth request returned by the conference resource service, and if the first conference resource is a shared resource, the conference management service may send the third request to the conference resource service, and receive a successful response to the third request returned by the conference resource service after determining that the first conference resource has been allocated to the any enterprise user and that the first conference resource is idle; if the first conference resource is a shared resource, the conference management service may send the fourth request to the conference resource service, and receive a successful response of the fourth request returned by the conference resource service after determining that the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool is not greater than the first threshold.

Through the design, when the conference resource service is instructed to determine whether the idle conference resource is allocated to the conference, the conference management service can instruct the conference resource service to determine whether the shared resource is allocated to the enterprise user or not and instruct the conference resource service to determine whether the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool is not more than a first threshold value or not based on the type adjustment instruction content of the conference resource of the conference carried in the application of the enterprise user, if the conference resource of the conference is the shared resource, the conference resource service is instructed to determine whether the shared resource is allocated to the enterprise user or not, and if the conference resource is the shared resource, the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool is not more than a first threshold value, so that the conference resource allocated to the conference is ensured to meet the requirements of the enterprise user, and the user experience is improved.

In one possible design, before the conference management service receives the first request sent by the any enterprise user, the conference management service may also receive allocation information of the first authority sent by an enterprise administrator; wherein the allocation information indicates the enterprise users having the first authority.

Through the design, the dynamic scheduling authority of the conference resources of the enterprise users can be pre-allocated by the enterprise administrator, so that the enterprise users can start the dynamic scheduling authority of the conference resources, the conference created by the enterprise users can be ensured to be subjected to the dynamic scheduling of the conference resources, the resource utilization rate is improved, and the user experience is improved.

In one possible design, after the conference management service receives the first request sent by the any enterprise user, the conference management service may further determine, based on the allocation information of the first rights, whether the any enterprise user has the first rights; if any enterprise user does not have the first authority, the conference management service may receive a sixth request sent by any enterprise user and send a seventh request to the enterprise administrator; the sixth request indicates that any enterprise user applies for the first right, and the seventh request indicates that the enterprise administrator temporarily allocates the first right to any enterprise user.

Through the design, the dynamic scheduling authority of the conference resource of the enterprise user can be temporarily allocated by the enterprise administrator after the enterprise user temporarily applies for the conference resource, so that the enterprise user can start the dynamic scheduling authority of the conference resource, the conference created by the enterprise user can be ensured to be subjected to the dynamic scheduling of the conference resource, the resource utilization rate is improved, and the user experience is improved.

In one possible design, the first conference resource is a shared resource and the occupancy of the first conference resource is greater than a second threshold; the dynamic scheduling strategy of the conference resource comprises the following steps: the conference resource service determining that a second conference resource exists, the conference control service updating the first conference resource to the second conference resource; the second conference resource is a private resource allocated to any enterprise user by the conference resource service or is a private resource which is not allocated in an enterprise private resource pool, and the specification of the second conference resource is not less than a third threshold; alternatively, the conference resource service determines that the second conference resource is absent but a third conference resource is present, the conference control service updating the first conference resource to a fourth conference resource; the third conference resource is a dedicated shared resource allocated to any enterprise user by the conference resource service, or is a shared resource which is idle in an enterprise shared resource pool, the sum of the specification of the third conference resource and the specification of the first conference resource is not less than the third threshold, and the fourth conference resource is a superposition resource of the first conference resource and the third conference resource; or, the conference resource service determines that the second conference resource and the third conference resource are not present, and the conference control service updates the first conference resource to a fifth conference resource; the fifth conference resource is a superposition resource of the first conference resource and a redundant shared resource, and the redundant shared resource is generated based on an enterprise level.

By the above design, when the conference resource dynamic scheduling policy is sent to the conference control service by the conference scheduling service based on the state of the conference resource of the conference to update the conference resource of the conference, if it is determined that the conference resource of the conference is a private resource and the occupancy rate of the private resource is greater than the second threshold, the conference resource dynamic scheduling policy is to query whether there is a private resource with a specification not less than the third threshold (e.g., the conference resource of the conference is a 20-party private resource, whether there is a 25-party private resource) from the non-allocated private resource allocated to the enterprise user or the non-allocated private resource pool of the enterprise private resource pool for creating the conference, and to query whether there is a 25-party private resource from the private resource allocated to the enterprise user or the shared resource pool of the enterprise, inquiring whether the specification sum of the conference resource of the conference is not less than a third threshold value or the shared resource (for example, the conference resource of the conference is a 20-party shared resource, and inquiring whether the conference resource of the conference is a 5-party shared resource or not), if not, generating redundant shared resources based on enterprise grades (for example, the conference resource of the conference is a 20-party shared resource, and generating a 5-party shared resource), thereby dynamically scheduling the idle shared resources of the enterprise and the shared resources to update the conference resource of the conference when the conference resource of the conference reaches an upper limit, realizing mixed management of the shared resources and the shared resources, smoothly expanding the conference resource of the conference, improving the resource utilization rate and improving the user experience.

In one possible design, the first meeting resource is a shared resource and the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool is not greater than a fourth threshold; the dynamic scheduling strategy of the conference resource comprises the following steps: the conference resource service determining that a second conference resource exists, the conference control service updating the first conference resource to the second conference resource; the second conference resource is a private resource allocated to any enterprise user by the conference resource service or is a private resource which is not allocated in an enterprise private resource pool, and the specification of the second conference resource is not less than a third threshold; alternatively, the conference resource service determines that the second conference resource is absent but a third conference resource is present, the conference resource service updating the first conference resource to a fourth conference resource; the third conference resource is a dedicated shared resource allocated to any enterprise user by the conference resource service, or is a shared resource which is idle in an enterprise shared resource pool, the sum of the specification of the third conference resource and the specification of the first conference resource is not less than the third threshold, and the fourth conference resource is a superposition resource of the first conference resource and the third conference resource; or, the conference resource service determines that the second conference resource and the third conference resource do not exist, and updates the first conference resource to a sixth conference resource; the sixth conference resource is a superposition resource of the first conference resource and a redundant shared resource, and the redundant shared resource is generated based on an enterprise level.

By the above design, when the conference resource dynamic scheduling policy is sent to the conference control service by the conference scheduling service based on the state of the conference resource of the conference to update the conference resource of the conference, if it is determined that the conference resource of the conference is a shared resource and the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool is not greater than the fourth threshold, the conference resource dynamic scheduling policy is to query whether there is a shared resource with a specification not less than the third threshold (e.g., the conference resource of the conference is a 20-party shared resource, whether there is a 25-party shared resource), and query whether there is a shared resource in the shared resource pool or the enterprise shared resource pool allocated to the enterprise user who creates the conference, inquiring whether the specification sum of the conference resource of the conference is not less than a third threshold value or a shared resource (for example, the conference resource of the conference is a 20-party shared resource, and inquiring whether the conference resource of the conference is not less than 5-party shared resource or not), if not, generating a redundant shared resource based on the enterprise level (for example, the conference resource of the conference is a 20-party shared resource, and a 5-party shared resource is generated), thereby dynamically scheduling the idle shared resource and shared resource of the enterprise to update the conference resource of the conference when the conference resource of the conference reaches an upper limit, realizing the mixed management of the shared resource and the shared resource, smoothly expanding the conference resource of the conference, improving the resource utilization rate and improving the user experience.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

Some terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are explained below in order to understand the embodiments of the present application.

1) Conference resources refer to access paths when conference participants access a conference, e.g., 30 conference participants may access a conference with 30-party conference resources. Conference resources are generally divided into shared resources (e.g., concurrent resources) and shared resources (e.g., virtual conference room (virtual meeting room, VMR) resources).

2) The shared resources are not required to be distributed in advance, and can be shared and used by enterprise users, namely, a plurality of conferences can be shared. When the conference resource of one conference is a shared resource, the occupancy rate of the shared resource will increase as the number of conferences and conference participants increases, and the conference will prohibit new conference participants from participating when the occupancy rate reaches an upper limit.

For example, there are 100 sharing type resources in the enterprise sharing type resource pool, the first meeting created by the enterprise user a occupies 10 sharing type resources, the second meeting created by the enterprise user B occupies 30 sharing type resources, at this time, 60 sharing type resources in the enterprise sharing type resource pool are not occupied, and the occupancy rate of the enterprise sharing type resource pool is 40%. After the third meeting is created by the enterprise user C, if the third meeting occupies 50 parts of shared resources, the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool is changed from 40% to 90%, and the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool reaches the upper limit, so that the first meeting, the second meeting and the third meeting are all forbidden to be attended by new participants. Or after the number of meeting participants accessing the first meeting and the second meeting increases, if the shared resource occupied by the first meeting is changed from 10 to 50, the shared resource occupied by the second meeting is changed from 30 to 40, the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool is changed from 40 to 90%, and the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool reaches the upper limit, so that the first meeting and the second meeting can prohibit new meeting participants from entering. That is, the occupancy rate of the shared resource is the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool.

3) The special resources need to be allocated in advance and cannot be shared by enterprise users, namely, a meeting is special. When the conference resource of one conference is a shared resource, the shared resource will increase with the number of conference participants, although not occupied by other conferences, and the conference will prohibit new conference participants from participating when the occupancy reaches the upper limit.

For example, there are 4 private resources in the enterprise private resource pool, and the specifications are 10, 20, 30 and 40 respectively, where the 10 private resources are allocated to enterprise user a, the 20 private resources are allocated to enterprise user B, the 30 private resources are allocated to enterprise user C, and the 40 private resources are not allocated to any enterprise user. After the first meeting is created by the enterprise user a, the first meeting only occupies 10-party shared resources allocated to the enterprise user a, but does not occupy the shared resources allocated to other enterprise users (such as the enterprise user B or the enterprise user C) or not allocated to any enterprise user in the enterprise shared resource pool, if the number of meeting participants accessing the first meeting is 5, the occupancy rate of the 10-party shared resources of the first meeting is 50%, if the number of meeting participants accessing the first meeting is changed from 5 to 9, the occupancy rate of the 10-party shared resources of the first meeting is changed from 50% to 90%, and the occupancy rate of the 10-party shared resources of the first meeting reaches the upper limit, so that the first meeting prohibits new meeting participants from entering the meeting. I.e. the occupancy rate of a shared resource is the occupancy rate of a certain shared resource in the enterprise's shared resource pool.

4) The enterprise manager of any enterprise can apply for meeting resources of the enterprise to the ordering platform, including the number of enterprise users, the enterprise sharing type resource pool and the like, and after the application is successful, the ordering platform issues meeting resources of the enterprise to meeting resource service of the enterprise for storage, so that after any enterprise user of the enterprise applies for creating a meeting to meeting management service of the enterprise, the meeting management service of the enterprise can apply for meeting resources to meeting resource service of the enterprise for the meeting.

As shown in fig. 1, an exemplary process diagram of conference resource management is shown, where an enterprise administrator applies for conference resources of an enterprise to a subscription platform, including an enterprise shared resource pool and an enterprise private resource pool, and after the application is successful, the subscription platform issues the conference resources of the enterprise to a conference resource service for storage, and the conference resource service may notify the conference management service of the specification and occupancy rate of the conference resources of the enterprise.

When an enterprise user creates a conference, if the conference resource of the conference is a shared resource, since the shared resource does not need to be allocated in advance, after the enterprise user applies for creating the conference to the conference management service, the conference management service can directly determine whether an idle shared resource exists based on the specification and the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool notified by the conference resource service, if the idle shared resource exists, allocate the idle shared resource to occupy the conference, and report the occupation specification of the conference to the conference resource service. Because the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool will increase with the increase of the number of conferences and conference participants, when the occupancy rate reaches the upper limit, the conference will prohibit new conference participants from participating in the conference, at this time, the conference host will either kick off part of the conference participants already participating in the conference to let the new conference participants participate in the conference, or contact the enterprise administrator to delete some non-critical conferences, and release part of the shared resources occupied in the enterprise shared resource pool.

If the conference resource of the conference is a special shared resource, because the shared resource needs to be allocated in advance, after the enterprise user applies for creating the conference to the conference management service, the conference management service can determine whether the special shared resource allocated to the enterprise user is idle or not based on the identifier of the special shared resource allocated to the enterprise user carried in the application, and if so, inquire the specification of the special shared resource allocated to the enterprise user from the conference resource service, and determine the number of participants which can access the conference. Since the shared resources will not be occupied by other conferences but the occupancy will also increase as the number of conference participants increases, the conference will prohibit new conference participants from joining when the occupancy reaches an upper limit, at which point the conference host either kicks off part of the joining conference participants to join the new conference participant, or contacts the enterprise administrator to allocate the shared resources of greater specification and notifies the joining conference participant and the new conference participant to all rejoin the newly allocated conference.

5) The terminology used in the embodiments of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," "the," and "the" are intended to include, for example, "one or more" such forms of expression, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary. It should also be understood that in embodiments of the present application, "one or more" means one, two, or more than two; "and/or", describes an association relationship of the association object, indicating that three relationships may exist; for example, a and/or B may represent: a alone, a and B together, and B alone, wherein A, B may be singular or plural. The character "/" generally indicates that the context-dependent object is an "or" relationship.

Reference in the specification to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" or the like means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the application. Thus, appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," and the like in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments" unless expressly specified otherwise. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless expressly specified otherwise.

At least one of the embodiments of the present application includes one or more; wherein, a plurality refers to greater than or equal to two. In addition, it should be understood that in the description of this application, the words "first," "second," and the like are used merely for distinguishing between the descriptions and not for indicating or implying any relative importance or order.

Technical features involved in the embodiments of the present application are explained below in order to understand the embodiments of the present application.

As described in the background, when a meeting is started to invite a new meeting participant to the meeting, due to limited meeting resources of the meeting, it may happen that meeting resources of the meeting reach an upper limit to prohibit the new meeting participant from the meeting. At this time, the conference host either kicks off part of the conference participants of the conference to let new conference participants join, or contacts the enterprise administrator to delete some non-critical conference release part of the shared resources when the conference is a shared resource conference, or contacts the enterprise administrator to allocate more specific shared resources when the conference is a shared resource conference and notifies the conference participants of the conference and the new conference participants to all rejoin the newly allocated conference. For example, the conference resource of the first conference is a 3-party shared resource or a 3-party dedicated shared resource, 3 participants accessing the first conference are respectively enterprise user a, enterprise user B and enterprise user C, at this time, enterprise user D wants to enter the conference, but the occupancy of the enterprise shared resource pool reaches the upper limit or the occupancy of the 3-party dedicated shared resource reaches the upper limit, then enterprise user a as the conference host may kick off enterprise user B or enterprise user C to let enterprise user D enter the conference, or if the conference resource of the first conference is a 3-party shared resource, enterprise user a may also contact the enterprise administrator to delete some non-critical conferences, release the occupied part of the shared resource pool of the enterprise, if the conference resource of the first conference is a 3-party dedicated shared resource, enterprise user a may also contact the enterprise administrator to allocate dedicated shared resources with larger specifications (e.g. 4-party dedicated shared resource) to create a second conference, and notify enterprise user B, enterprise user C and user D to join the second enterprise again. Therefore, in the existing resource management method, the shared resources and the dedicated shared resources are independent of each other and can only be singly managed, so that when the enterprise has idle shared resources or dedicated shared resources, the resources cannot be switched to use, thereby resulting in lower resource utilization rate and poorer user experience.

In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a resource management method, where when a first request sent by any enterprise user is received by a conference management service, the first request may respond to the first request, and when a first authority is started, a second request is sent to a conference scheduling service, where the first request instructs any enterprise user to apply for creating a first conference or increasing the number of enterprise users accessing the first conference, the first authority instructs the first conference to enable a dynamic conference resource scheduling, the second request instructs the conference scheduling service to subscribe to a state of a first conference resource of the first conference to the conference resource service, and sends a conference resource dynamic scheduling policy to the conference control service based on the state of the first conference resource, and the conference resource dynamic scheduling policy instructs the conference control service to update the first conference resource. When enterprise users apply for creating conferences or increasing the number of enterprise users accessing the conferences, whether the enterprise users start the dynamic scheduling authority of conference resources is determined, if so, the conference scheduling service is instructed to subscribe the conference resources of the conferences to the conference resource service, and the conference resources of the conferences are updated by sending the dynamic scheduling strategy of the conference resources to the conference control service based on the state of the conference resources, so that the free conference resources of the enterprises can be dynamically scheduled to update the conference resources of the conferences when the conference resources of the conferences reach the upper limit, the conference resources of the conferences are smoothly expanded, the resource utilization rate is improved, and the user experience is improved.

The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application may be applied to a resource management system, and as shown in fig. 2, for example, the resource management system in fig. 2 includes a conference management service, a conference resource service, a conference scheduling service, and a conference control service.

The conference management service, also called dynamic scheduling authority management, is used for managing the dynamic scheduling authority of conference resources. For example, the conference management service may monitor and evaluate whether the conference is to trigger the dynamic scheduling of conference resources during the running of the conference to ensure that the conference runs reliably, and if the conference does not initiate the dynamic scheduling authority of conference resources, the conference management service may not trigger the dynamic scheduling of conference resources, and after the conference resources of the conference reach an upper limit, the conference control service may limit new participants to enter into the conference.

The conference resource service, also called dynamic scheduling data management, is used for providing data required by the dynamic scheduling policy of conference resources. For example, the status of the shared resources in the enterprise shared resource pool, the status of conference resources for any conference, the number of enterprise users, the enterprise level, and the like.

The conference scheduling service, also called dynamic scheduling policy management, is used for generating a conference resource dynamic scheduling policy. For example, a dynamic scheduling policy for conference resources is generated based on data provided by the conference resource service.

The conference control service, also called dynamic scheduling implementation management, is used for implementing the dynamic scheduling policy of conference resources. For example, conference resources for any conference are updated based on a conference resource dynamic scheduling policy.

It should be understood that each service in the resource management system may be deployed on one service node separately, for example, the conference management service is deployed on the service node a, the conference resource service is deployed on the service node B, the conference scheduling service is deployed on the service node C, the conference control service is deployed on the service node D, and two or more services in the resource management system may also be deployed on one service node simultaneously, for example, the conference management service and the conference resource service are deployed on the service node a, and the conference resource service and the conference scheduling service are deployed on the service node B. The service node may be a server, for example, a browser server, a mail server, a web server, a file server, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application. The server may also be referred to as a big data platform, a cloud server, or a server cluster, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

It should be understood that fig. 2 illustrates an exemplary resource management system for ease of understanding only, but this should not constitute any limitation to embodiments of the present application, and that the resource management system may include more or less components than illustrated, or may combine certain components, or may split certain components, or may have a different arrangement of components. The components in fig. 2 may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware. In addition, the combination or connection relationship between the components in fig. 2 may be modified, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The above describes a resource management system provided by the embodiments of the present application, and next describes a resource management method provided by the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 3, a flow chart of a resource management method according to an embodiment of the present application is provided, and the resource management method may be applied to the resource management system shown in fig. 2 or similar to the functional structure of fig. 2, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application. The specific flow of the resource management method is described below. It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the method is described by taking the conference management service as an execution subject of the execution method, and the execution subject of the execution method may be a chip, a chip system, or a processor applied to the conference management service by way of example and not limitation.

S301, the conference management service receives a first request sent by any enterprise user.

In some embodiments, the conference management service may receive a first request sent by any enterprise user, wherein the first request indicates that any enterprise user applies to create the first conference or increases the number of enterprise users accessing the first conference. For example, enterprise user a may not create the first meeting, before initiating the first meeting, enterprise user a may send a first request to the meeting management service indicating that enterprise user a applies to create the first meeting, or enterprise user a has created the first meeting, before initiating the first meeting, enterprise user a may send a first request to the meeting management service indicating that enterprise user a applies to increase the number of enterprise users accessing the first meeting.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, before receiving the first request sent by any enterprise user, the conference management service may further receive allocation information of the first right sent by the enterprise administrator, where the first right indicates that the conference created by the enterprise user with the first right can perform dynamic scheduling of conference resources, and the allocation information indicates that the enterprise user with the first right is pre-allocated by the enterprise administrator. For example, an enterprise administrator pre-allocates that enterprise users having a first authority have enterprise user a and enterprise user B, and both a first meeting created by enterprise user a and a second meeting created by enterprise user B can perform dynamic scheduling of meeting resources.

In addition, the enterprise user with the first authority may choose to start the first authority before the meeting created by the enterprise user is started, that is, start the first authority before the meeting, or may choose to start the first authority after the meeting created by the enterprise user is started, that is, start the first authority in the meeting, which is not limited in particular in the embodiment of the present application. For example, after sending a first request to the meeting management service indicating that the enterprise user a applies for creating the first meeting, the enterprise user a receives a notification about whether to activate the first right, that is, activate the first right after applying for creating the first meeting, that is, before activating the first meeting, or activate the first right after applying for increasing the number of enterprise users accessing the first meeting, that is, activate the first right after activating the first meeting.

S302, responding to the first request, and when the first authority is started, the conference management service sends a second request to the conference scheduling service.

In some embodiments, the conference management service may send a second request to the conference scheduling service when the first authority is initiated by any one of the enterprise users in response to the first request after receiving the first request sent by any one of the enterprise users indicating that any one of the enterprise users applies to create the first conference or increase the number of enterprise users accessing the first conference. The second request indicates that the conference scheduling service subscribes the conference resource service to the state of the first conference resource of the first conference, and sends a conference resource dynamic scheduling policy to the conference control service based on the state of the first conference resource, wherein the conference resource dynamic scheduling policy indicates that the conference control service updates the first conference resource.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, after receiving a first request sent by any one enterprise user, if the first request indicates that any one enterprise user applies to create a first conference, the conference management service may first send a third request or a fourth request to the conference resource service based on a type of a first conference resource of the first conference carried in the first request, and receive a success response of the third request or the fourth request returned by the conference resource service, where the third request indicates that the conference resource service allocates the first conference resource for the first conference after determining that there is an idle shared resource, and the fourth request indicates that the conference resource service allocates the first conference resource for the first conference after determining that there is an idle shared resource. For example, if the first conference resource is a shared-type resource, the conference management service may send a third request to the conference resource service indicating that the conference resource service determines whether the first conference resource has been allocated to any of the enterprise users and whether the first conference resource is idle, and receive a successful response to the third request returned by the conference resource service after determining that the first conference resource has been allocated to any of the enterprise users and that the first conference resource is idle; if the first conference resource is a shared resource, the conference management service may send a fourth request to the conference resource service indicating that the conference resource service determines whether the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool is not greater than the first threshold, and receive a successful response of the fourth request returned by the conference resource service after determining that the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool is not greater than the first threshold. And then sending a fifth request to the conference control service, wherein the fifth request instructs the conference control service to start the first conference and sends the state of the first conference resource to the conference resource service at regular time.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first authority may be pre-assigned to any user by the enterprise administrator, or may be temporarily assigned to any user by the enterprise administrator after receiving the temporary application of any enterprise user, so after receiving the first request sent by any enterprise user, the conference management service needs to determine whether any enterprise user has the first authority based on the allocation information of the first authority, that is, determine whether the enterprise administrator pre-assigns the first authority to any user. If any enterprise user does not have the first authority, the conference management service may send a seventh request to the enterprise administrator after receiving the sixth request sent by any enterprise user, and receive a successful response of the seventh request returned by the enterprise administrator, where the sixth request indicates any enterprise user to apply for the first authority, and the seventh request indicates the enterprise administrator to temporarily assign the first authority to any enterprise user.

The first authority of any enterprise user may be pre-assigned by an enterprise administrator before or temporarily assigned by the enterprise administrator after the first meeting is started, and any enterprise user may start the first authority before or after the first meeting is started, so the dynamic scheduling of meeting resources may be performed in three scenarios: the first authority is pre-allocated and started before the meeting, the first authority is pre-allocated and started in the meeting, and the first authority is temporarily allocated and started in the meeting. The following describes in detail the implementation of dynamic scheduling of conference resources in these three scenarios in combination with specific examples:

In scenario one, the first permissions of any enterprise user are pre-assigned by the enterprise administrator before the first meeting is initiated and initiated before the first meeting is initiated.

An exemplary flowchart of dynamic scheduling of conference resources in a first authority scenario, which is pre-allocated and started before a meeting, is provided in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4 a. The conference manager pre-assigns the first right to the enterprise user a. Enterprise user a may send a first request to the conference management service indicating that enterprise user a applies to create a first conference and initiate a first right.

Accordingly, after receiving the first request sent by the enterprise user a and indicating the enterprise user a to apply for creating the first conference, the conference management service may send a third request or a fourth request indicating the conference resource service to allocate the first conference resource for the first conference to the conference resource service based on the type of the first conference resource of the first conference carried in the first request indicating the enterprise user a to apply for creating the first conference, and receive a successful response of the third request or the fourth request returned by the conference resource service. After receiving the first request sent by the enterprise user a and indicating the enterprise user a to apply for creating the first conference, the conference management service may also respond to the first request indicating the enterprise user a to apply for creating the first conference, and send a second request to the conference scheduling service when the enterprise user a starts the first right, where the second request indicates the conference scheduling service to subscribe the conference resource service to the state of the first conference resource, and send the conference resource dynamic scheduling policy to the conference control service based on the state of the first conference resource. It should be understood that the conference management service may send the second request first and then send the third request or the fourth request, or may send the third request or the fourth request first and then send the second request, or may send the third request or the fourth request and the fourth request simultaneously, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application, and fig. 4a illustrates only one sending sequence for easy understanding, but this should not constitute any limitation for the embodiment of the present application. The conference management service, upon receiving a successful response to the third request or the fourth request returned by the conference resource service, may issue a fifth request to the conference control service indicating that the conference control service initiated the first conference and sent the state of the first conference resource to the conference resource service at a timing.

Accordingly, the conference scheduling service may subscribe to the state of the first conference resource with the conference resource service after receiving the second request sent by the conference management service.

Accordingly, the conference resource service may send the state of the first conference resource to the conference scheduling service after receiving the state of the first conference resource sent by the conference control service and the application of the state of the first conference resource subscribed to sent by the conference scheduling service.

Accordingly, the conference scheduling service may send a conference resource dynamic scheduling policy to the conference control service based on the state of the first conference resource after receiving the state of the first conference resource sent by the conference resource service, and update the conference state of the first conference.

In scenario two, the first rights of any enterprise user are pre-assigned by the enterprise administrator before initiating the first meeting, and are initiated after initiating the first meeting.

An exemplary flowchart of dynamic scheduling of conference resources in a scene of pre-allocation and start-up of the first authority in a conference is provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4 b. The conference manager pre-assigns the first right to the enterprise user a. Enterprise user a may send a first request to the conference management service indicating that enterprise user a applies to create a first conference.

Accordingly, after receiving the first request sent by the enterprise user a and indicating the enterprise user a to apply for creating the first conference, the conference management service may send a third request or a fourth request indicating the conference resource service to allocate the first conference resource for the first conference to the conference resource service based on the type of the first conference resource of the first conference carried in the first request indicating the enterprise user a to apply for creating the first conference. The conference management service, upon receiving a successful response to the third request or the fourth request returned by the conference resource service, may issue a fifth request to the conference control service indicating that the conference control service initiated the first conference and sent the state of the first conference resource to the conference resource service at a timing.

After the conference control service initiates the first conference, enterprise user a may also send a first request to the conference management service indicating that enterprise user a applies to increase the number of enterprise users accessing the first conference and initiate the first right.

Accordingly, the conference management service may send a second request to the conference scheduling service in response to a first request indicating that enterprise user a applies for increasing the number of enterprise users accessing the first conference, when enterprise user a initiates the first right, wherein the second request indicates that the conference scheduling service subscribes the conference resource service to a state of the first conference resource, and send a conference resource dynamic scheduling policy to the conference control service based on the state of the first conference resource.

In scenario three, the first rights of any enterprise user are temporarily assigned by the enterprise administrator after the first meeting is initiated, and are initiated after the first meeting is initiated.

Exemplary, as shown in fig. 4c, a flow chart of dynamic scheduling of conference resources in a scene of temporarily allocating and initiating a first authority in a conference is provided in an embodiment of the present application. The conference administrator does not pre-assign the first right to enterprise user a. Enterprise user a may send a first request to the conference management service indicating that enterprise user a applies to create a first conference.

After the conference control service initiates the first conference, enterprise user a may also send a first request to the conference management service indicating that enterprise user a applies for increasing the number of enterprise users accessing the first conference, and a sixth request indicating that enterprise user a applies for the first permission.

Accordingly, the conference management service may send a seventh request to the enterprise administrator, after receiving the first request and the sixth request sent by the enterprise user a, the request indicating that the enterprise user a applies to increase the number of enterprise users accessing the first conference, the seventh request indicating that the enterprise administrator temporarily assigns the first right to the enterprise user a, and may return a successful response to the sixth request to the enterprise user a after receiving a successful response to the seventh request returned by the enterprise administrator,

Accordingly, enterprise user a may initiate the first right after receiving a successful response to the sixth request returned by the conference management service.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, when the conference scheduling service sends the conference resource dynamic scheduling policy to the conference control service to update the first conference resource based on the state of the first conference resource, since the conference resource dynamic scheduling policy is related to the type of the first conference resource, the conference resource dynamic scheduling policy may have two types. The following describes these two dynamic scheduling policies for conference resources in detail in connection with specific examples:

when the first conference resource is a shared resource and the occupancy rate of the first conference resource is greater than the second threshold, the first conference resource dynamic scheduling policy is:

the conference resource service determines that second conference resources exist, the conference control service updates the first conference resources to the second conference resources, wherein the second conference resources are special-type resources allocated to any enterprise user by the conference resource service or special-type resources which are not allocated in an enterprise special-type resource pool, and the specification of the second conference resources is not smaller than a third threshold value;

the conference resource service determines that a second conference resource does not exist but a third conference resource exists, the conference control service updates the first conference resource into a fourth conference resource, wherein the third conference resource is a shared resource distributed to any enterprise user by the conference resource service or is a shared resource which is idle in an enterprise shared resource pool, the sum of the specification of the third conference resource and the specification of the first conference resource is not less than a third threshold, and the fourth conference resource is a superposition resource of the first conference resource and the third conference resource;

The conference resource service determines that the second conference resource and the third conference resource do not exist, the conference control service updates the first conference resource into a fifth conference resource and sends a capacity expansion notification to an enterprise administrator, wherein the fifth conference resource is an overlapped resource of the first conference resource and the redundant shared resource, and the redundant shared resource is generated based on the enterprise level.

Illustratively, the first conference resource of the first conference created by the enterprise user a is a 20-party shared resource, when the occupancy rate of the first conference resource is 90%, the occupancy rate of the first conference resource is greater than the second threshold value of 86%, from an unallocated shared resource pool allocated to the enterprise user a or the enterprise shared resource pool, whether there is a shared resource with a specification of not less than the third threshold value of 25 parties, and from a shared resource allocated to the enterprise user a or the enterprise shared resource pool, whether there is a shared resource with a specification of not less than 5 parties or a shared resource. If the shared resource with the specification of not less than 25 sides exists, the first meeting resource is updated to the shared resource with the specification of not less than 25 sides. If there is no private resource with the specification not smaller than 25 sides, but there is private resource or shared resource of 5 sides, the first conference resource is updated to be superposition of private resource of 20 sides and private resource or shared resource of 5 sides. If there is no shared resource with the specification not smaller than 25 parties, and there is no shared resource or shared resource of 5 parties, generating 5-party redundant shared resources based on the enterprise level. Therefore, when the first meeting resource reaches the upper limit, the idle shared resources and the shared resources of the enterprise can be dynamically scheduled to update the first meeting resource, the mixed management of the shared resources and the shared resources is realized, the meeting resource of the meeting is smoothly expanded, the resource utilization rate is improved, and the user experience is improved.

When the first conference resource is a shared resource and the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool is not greater than the fourth threshold, the second conference resource dynamic scheduling policy is:

the conference resource service determines that the second conference resource and the third conference resource do not exist, the conference control service updates the first conference resource to the sixth conference resource and sends a capacity expansion notification to an enterprise administrator, wherein the fifth conference resource is an overlapped resource of the first conference resource and the redundant sharing resource, and the redundant sharing resource is generated based on the enterprise level.

Illustratively, the first conference resource of the first conference created by the enterprise user a is a 20-party shared resource, when the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool is 95%, the occupancy rate of the enterprise shared resource pool is greater than 90% of the fourth threshold, from the non-allocated shared resource pool allocated to the enterprise user a or the enterprise shared resource pool, whether there is a shared resource with a specification of not less than 25 parties of the third threshold, and from the shared resource allocated to the enterprise user a or the enterprise shared resource pool, whether there is a shared resource with a specification of not less than 5 parties of the shared resource or the shared resource. If the shared resource with the specification of not less than 25 sides exists, the first meeting resource is updated to the shared resource with the specification of not less than 25 sides. If there is no private resource with the specification not smaller than 25 sides, but there is private resource or shared resource of 5 sides, updating the first meeting resource to superposition of shared resource of 20 sides and private resource or shared resource of 5 sides. If no special shared resource with the specification not smaller than 25 parties exists, and no special shared resource or shared resource with 5 parties exists, generating 5-party redundant shared resources based on the enterprise level. Therefore, when the first meeting resource reaches the upper limit, the idle shared resources and the shared resources of the enterprise can be dynamically scheduled to update the first meeting resource, the mixed management of the shared resources and the shared resources is realized, the meeting resource of the meeting is smoothly expanded, the resource utilization rate is improved, and the user experience is improved.
