Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of software technology, and more specifically to a resource management method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional software delivery models, tenants need to purchase software products, and the software vendor's technical staff must complete the installation and configuration of servers and clients, a highly complex process. With the continuous development of cloud computing and big data technologies, the SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model has gradually emerged. SaaS is a service provided by cloud computing at the application layer. In the SaaS model, SaaS vendors deploy application software on a unified server. Tenants do not need to purchase complete software systems, nor do they need to equip themselves with corresponding hardware systems and maintenance personnel. They only need to rent application software on demand via the internet. This is highly attractive to SMEs with limited budgets and insufficient technical resources. Tenants rent SaaS software provided by SaaS service providers to meet their business needs. Each tenant can rent one or more SaaS software programs, and one SaaS software program can provide services to multiple tenants. Most current SaaS software is based on a multi-tenant model, where multiple tenants rent services through the SaaS service provider's unified SaaS service platform, sharing software and hardware resources. Multiple tenants sharing the same application code and application instances can reduce the SaaS service provider's operational costs for development, deployment, operation, maintenance, and updates. At the same time, multiple tenants share the related costs of the software service, reducing the service purchase costs for each tenant enterprise. SaaS service providers make a profit by providing SaaS software to tenants.

[0003] A SaaS service platform primarily comprises the SaaS platform business system and the SaaS service support system. The SaaS platform business system is the core business operation system for tenants, mainly including the application scenario layer, business capability layer, and basic capability layer. The application scenario layer can configure different services according to the needs of different tenants; the business capability layer includes various software business capabilities, such as payment and settlement capabilities, which can be shared by multiple tenants, and different tenants' businesses can be executed according to the configurations in the application scenario layer; the basic capability layer includes various hardware resources, such as databases and caches. The SaaS service support system is the support system that provides SaaS services to tenants through the SaaS service platform. It provides tenants with complete business capabilities such as order placement, configuration and activation, management and control, operation, and billing. Order information from different tenants is sent to the SaaS platform business system, which then configures the services for each tenant based on this information. However, in existing technologies, due to the large volume of rentable services and tenants on the SaaS service platform, and the fact that different tenants rent different services, the SaaS platform business system can only achieve isolation between different tenants and cannot provide unified management and billing for multiple tenants. Therefore, when the SaaS service support system needs to bill tenants, it needs to obtain the required tenant data from the SaaS platform's business system through a big data computing platform, such as the consumption of rented resources. Then, the big data computing platform sends the required tenant data to the SaaS service support system, which can then use this data to bill tenants. Because this process requires the participation of a big data computing platform, it is costly and highly complex. Summary of the Invention

[0060] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0062] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0063] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0064] Before providing a detailed description of the embodiments of this application, the terms used or possibly used in the embodiments of this application will first be explained.

[0065] Big data, also known as massive data, refers to information that is so large in scale that it cannot be captured, managed, processed, and organized into information that helps businesses make more proactive business decisions within a reasonable timeframe using mainstream software tools.

[0066] SaaS (Software as a Service) platform: Software as a Service (SaaS) is a platform for operating SaaS software. SaaS providers build all the network infrastructure, software, and hardware operating platforms needed for enterprise IT infrastructure, and are responsible for all pre-implementation and post-maintenance services. Enterprises do not need to purchase hardware and software, build server rooms, or hire IT personnel; they can use information systems via the internet. SaaS is a software deployment model whose applications are designed specifically for network delivery, facilitating hosting, deployment, and access for users via the internet.

[0067] In related technologies, when a SaaS service support system needs to bill tenants, it needs to obtain the required tenant data from the SaaS platform business system through a big data computing platform, such as the consumption of rented resources. Then, the SaaS service support system sends the required tenant data to the SaaS service support system, and the SaaS service support system implements functions such as billing tenants. The process is very complex.

[0068] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a resource management method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. The method includes: receiving an order request message sent by a user; the order request message includes user identification information and resource information rented by the user. Acquiring available resource information and determining the user's resource configuration information based on the order request message and available resource information; the user's resource configuration information includes user identification information and resource information rented by the user. Determining a resource usage table based on the user's resource configuration information to record the user's usage information for rented resources. The resource usage table records the user's used information and historical usage information for rented resources. Acquiring the resource information used by the user in a resource service device and updating the resource usage table based on the user's used resource information. Generating billing information for the user's rented resources based on the resource configuration information, resource usage table, and a preset billing time period, and sending the billing information to the user.

[0069] In this way, for each user, their resource configuration information can be determined based on their order information and available resource information. That is, the user's resource configuration information includes relevant information about the resources they rent. Furthermore, based on this resource configuration information, a resource usage table can be established to record the user's usage information for rented resources, including usage history, to understand the user's resource usage. The resource service equipment can retrieve the user's resource usage information and update the resource usage table accordingly. Then, based on the resource configuration information, resource usage table, and preset billing period, the user's rented resource billing information is generated. In other words, the preset billing period determines the user's resource usage within that billing period. And based on the user's resource usage within that billing period, and according to the rented resource information in the resource configuration information, such as rental price and quantity, the user's rented resource billing information for that billing period can be generated. Therefore, based on the above method, the management of resources rented by each user can be achieved without utilizing a big data computing platform, and billing for these resources can be completed, greatly simplifying the billing process and improving work efficiency. A detailed explanation follows.

[0070] See Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a resource management method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the details are as follows:

[0071] Step S101: Receive the order request message sent by the user.

[0072] The order request message includes user identification information and information about the resources rented by the user. Specifically, the information about the resources rented by the user includes: the identification information of the resources rented by the user, the specifications and type of the resources rented by the user, the rental period, and the rental price.

[0073] In this embodiment, the user can determine the resources they need to rent based on actual requirements, and after generating a corresponding order, send an order request message to the resource management device. The order request message includes user identification information and information about the resources rented by the user. At this time, the resource management device receives the order request message sent by the user.

[0074] Step S102: Obtain available resource information and determine the user's resource configuration information based on the order request message and available resource information.

[0075] The user's resource configuration information includes user identification information and information on the resources rented by the user.

[0076] Specifically, after receiving an order request message from a user, the resource management device can parse the message to obtain the user's identification information and the resource information rented by the user. Then, it retrieves available resource information, for example, from storage media. Since the available resource information includes information on each type of resource that the resource service device can provide to the user for rent, it can determine whether the available resource information records the resource the user needs to rent based on the resource information rented by the user in the order request message. If so, it means the resource the user needs to rent is available. At this point, the user's resource configuration information can be generated based on the user's identification information and the resource information rented by the user in the order request message. The user's resource configuration information includes the user's identification information and the resource information rented by the user. For each type of resource rented by the user, corresponding resource configuration information for that rented resource is generated.

[0077] As one possible implementation, the resource information rented by the user includes the resource identification information, the type of resource, its specifications, rental period, and rental price. In other words, the user's resource configuration information includes the user's identification information and relevant information about the resources rented by the user.

[0078] It should be noted that the resource identification information rented by the user in the resource information can include the identifier of the resource rented by the user or the name of the resource. For example, the name of the resource rented by the user can be a real-time computing resource.

[0079] As one possible implementation, the available resource information includes the unused quantity of available resources. Therefore, based on the order request message and the available resource information, the user's resource configuration information is determined as follows:

[0080] Based on the order request message, obtain the resources rented by the user and the amount of resources required for rent.

[0081] Based on the information on the unused quantity of available resources, determine whether the target unused quantity meets the demand for rented resources. The target unused quantity refers to the unused portion of the unused available resources that the user has rented.

[0082] If the conditions are met, the user's resource configuration information is determined based on the order request message and available resource information.

[0083] Specifically, since a user's demand for rented resources may exceed the unused quantity of those resources in the available pool, it's necessary to determine whether the unused quantity of available resources can meet the user's demand before determining the user's resource configuration information. At this point, the resource management device parses the received order request message to obtain the user's rented resources and their demand. That is, the user's rented resource information in the order request message includes the user's rented resources and their demand, which the resource management device can obtain by parsing the order request message. Then, based on the identifier information of the rented resources in the available resource information, the target unused quantity (the unused quantity of the user's rented resources) is determined from the unused quantity of available resources. It is then determined whether the target unused quantity meets the user's demand. If it does, the user's resource configuration information is determined based on the order request message and the available resource information.

[0084] For example, suppose a computing resource is named "Real-time Computing Resource," and this resource is divided into two specifications: Specification 1 and Specification 2. Specification 1 is priced at 10,000 RMB / month, and Specification 2 is priced at 100,000 RMB / month. The unused quantity for Specification 1 is 1,000, and the unused quantity for Specification 2 is 100. Suppose user A needs to rent two Specification 1 Real-time Computing Resources. User A can send an order request message to the resource management device, which receives the message. This order request message contains user A's user identification information, which could be user A's username; it also includes the resource information rented by user A, namely, the resource name is "Real-time Computing Resource," the resource type is a computing resource, the specification is Specification 1, the required quantity is 2, the rental period is from October 1, 2021 to October 1, 2022, and the rental price is 10,000 RMB / month. The resource management device parses the received order request message and obtains that the user is renting real-time computing resources, and the required quantity is 2. At this point, the resource management device can obtain available resource information, which records the unused quantity of available resources. From the unused quantity information, it is determined that the unused quantity of real-time computing resources rented by User A is 1000, meaning the target unused quantity is 1000. Therefore, the resource management device can determine that the target unused quantity can meet the demand for rented resources. After determining that the target unused quantity can meet the demand for rented resources, User A's resource configuration information can be determined based on the aforementioned order request message and available resource information. As shown in Table 1, User A's resource configuration information includes: User A's username, the type of resource rented by User A is computing resources, the name of the computing resources is real-time computing resources, the specification of the rented resources is specification 1, the quantity of rented resources is 2, the rental period is from October 1, 2021 to October 1, 2022, and the rental price is 2 * 10,000 / month.

[0085] It should be noted that since the rental fee for real-time computing resources is determined by time, user A rented two 1-level real-time computing resources. The price of 1-level 1 is 10,000 / month, so the rental price is 2 * 10,000 / month.

[0086] Table 1. Resource Configuration Information for User A

[0087] User identification information User A Types of rented resources Computing resources Rented resource name Real-time computing resources Resource specifications Specification 1 Number of rented resources Specification 1:2 Rental period 2021.10.1～2022.10.1 Rental price Option 1: 2 * 10,000 / month

[0088] Step S103: Based on the user's resource configuration information, determine the resource usage table used to record the user's rental resource usage information.

[0089] The resource usage table records the usage information and historical usage information of the resources rented by users.

[0090] Specifically, after determining the user's resource configuration information, a resource usage table can be determined based on the user identification information and rented resource information within the user's resource configuration information to record the user's usage information for rented resources. The resource management device can obtain user identification information, rented resource identification information, the specifications and type of the rented resource, and the rental period from the user's resource configuration information. Then, based on this information, it determines the corresponding resource usage table for recording the user's usage information for rented resources. The user's usage information for rented resources includes the resource's already used information and historical usage information, i.e., historical usage details. Therefore, in this embodiment, the resource usage table can record both the already used information and historical usage information of rented resources.

[0091] As one possible implementation, the resource usage table includes a first sub-table and a second sub-table. The first sub-table records the usage information of resources rented by users, while the second sub-table records the historical usage information of resources rented by users.

[0092] Specifically, the "used" information for rented resources refers to the actual amount of resources that the user has used. The "historical" information for a user's rented resources includes the time and details of each use, i.e., the usage details. In other words, the "used" information is the cumulative amount of resources used by the user, while the "historical" information is a record of each instance of resource usage.

[0093] Step S104: Obtain the resource information used by the user in the resource service device, and update the resource usage table according to the resource information used by the user.

[0094] Among them, the resource information used by the user is used to indicate the relevant data information of the resources used by the user in the rented resources.

[0095] In this embodiment, once a user's resource usage table is determined, the user can use the rented resources. At this time, the resource management device can obtain the resource information used by the user from the resource service device. Specifically, the resource service device can send the user's resource usage information to the resource management device, which receives the user's resource usage information and thus obtains relevant data information about the resources used by the user in their rented resources. When the resource management device obtains the user's resource usage information, it indicates that the user has used their rented resources, and therefore the resource usage table corresponding to that user needs to be updated. Since the user's resource usage information includes user identification information, the resource management device can determine the user's resource usage table based on the user identification information and update the used information and historical usage information of the user's rented resources in the resource usage table based on the obtained user's resource usage information.

[0096] Furthermore, when the resource usage table includes a first sub-table and a second sub-table, the resource management device can update the first and second sub-tables based on the resource information used by the user. For example, if the user's resource information includes the quantity of resources used, and the first sub-table contains the quantity of resources already used, then the first sub-table can be updated to show the sum of the quantity of resources already used before the update and the quantity of resources used in the user's resource information. Since the user's resource information includes the usage time and corresponding quantity of resources, a new user record for their rented resources can be added to the second sub-table based on the usage time and corresponding quantity of resources contained in the user's resource information.

[0097] For example, suppose user B rents a storage resource named Storage Resource C for one month, with a rental specification of 500GB and a rental quantity of 1. Then, as shown in Table 2, the first sub-table of user B's resource usage table includes user identification information, the resource identification information of the rented resource, the resource specification type, the rental period, and the usage information of the rented resource. Since the user has not yet used Storage Resource C, the usage information of the user's rented resource in the first sub-table is 0GB. If user B uses Storage Resource C for the first time at time D, and the usage quantity is 10GB, the resource management device can obtain the resource information used by the user in the resource service device. This information includes at least user B's username, the time of use (D), and the usage quantity (10GB). Then, the resource management device can add a record to the second sub-table: "At time D, user B used Storage Resource C, with a usage quantity of 10GB"; and update the usage information of the user's rented resource in the first sub-table to 10GB. If user B uses Storage Resource C for the second time at time E, and the usage quantity is 20GB... At this point, the resource management device can again obtain the user's resource usage information from the resource service equipment. This information includes at least user B's username, the time of usage (E), and the usage quantity (20G). The resource management device can then add a record to the second sub-table: "At time E, user B used storage resource C, with a usage quantity of 20G." In the first sub-table, the used information for the user's rented resources is updated to 30G. In this way, after each use of rented resources, the resource management device can update the user's resource usage table stored in the resource management device based on the obtained user usage information, facilitating the monitoring of the user's usage of rented resources.

[0098] Table 2, the first sub-table of the resource usage table.

[0099]

[0100] Step S105: Based on the resource configuration information, resource usage table, and preset billing time period, generate the user's rental resource bill information and send the bill information to the user.

[0101] In this embodiment, when billing a user, the resource management device can determine the billing period based on a preset billing period and the rental period in the resource configuration information. Since billing varies depending on the resource rented, sometimes fees are charged based on the rental time, and sometimes based on the user's usage within the billing period, determining fees based on resource usage requires identifying the user's resource usage information within the billing period. Because the historical usage information recorded in the resource usage table includes the time and details of each resource usage, the resource management device can determine the user's resource usage information within that billing period from the historical usage information recorded in the resource usage table, based on the determined billing period. Then, based on the billing period, the user's resource usage information within that period, and the rental price in the resource configuration information, the device generates the user's rental resource billing information. The billing information for a user's rented resources includes at least the user's identification information, the resource's identification information, the resource's specifications and type, the billing period, the resource usage information, and the total cost for that billing period. After generating the user's billing information, the billing information is sent to the user.

[0102] It should be noted that the preset billing time period can be pre-set according to the needs of different users and their rented resources, and can be included in the user's order request message.

[0103] For example, suppose a computing resource is named "Real-time Computing Resource," and this real-time computing resource is divided into Specification 1 and Specification 2. Specification 1 is priced at 10,000 RMB / month, and Specification 2 is priced at 100,000 RMB / month; the unused quantity of Specification 1 is 1,000, and the unused quantity of Specification 2 is 100. Suppose user A needs to rent two Specification 1 real-time computing resources. In this case, user A can send an order request message to the resource management device, which receives the order request message sent by user A. This order request message includes user A's user identification information, which may be user A's username, and also includes the resource information rented by user A. That is, the resource name rented by user A is "Real-time Computing Resource," the type of the rented resource is a computing resource, the specification of the resource is Specification 1, the required quantity of the rented resource is 2, the rental period is from October 1, 2021 to October 1, 2022, and the rental price is 10,000 RMB / month. The process of determining user A's resource configuration information can be specifically referred to in the embodiment shown in Table 1, and will not be repeated here. Assuming user A's order request message includes a billing period of one month, in the first billing period, from October 1st to October 31st, 2021, the resource management device can generate billing information for user A's rented resources. First, based on user A's real-time computing resource configuration information, the resource management device determines that the price of real-time computing resource specification 1 is 10,000 / month, and the number of resources rented is 2. Since the real-time computing resource is charged based on time, it is not necessary to determine the usage information of the real-time computing resources rented by user A within this billing period from the historical usage information recorded in the resource usage table. It can be directly determined that the total cost within the billing period from October 1st to October 31st, 2021 is the product of the number of resources rented and the price of the rented real-time computing resource specification 1, which is 20,000. As shown in Table 3, the billing information for real-time computing resources rented by User A during the billing period from October 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021 includes: User A's username, the type of resource rented by User A as computing resources, the name of the computing resources as real-time computing resources, the specification of the rented resources as specification 1, the quantity of resources rented as 2, the billing period from October 1, 2021 to October 1, 2022, and the total cost as 20,000. After generating the billing information for the user's rented resources in the current billing period, the resource management device can send the billing information to the user.

[0104] Table 3. Billing information for real-time computing resources rented by User A.

[0105] User identification information User A Types of rented resources Computing resources Rented resource name Real-time computing resources Resource specifications Specification 1 Number of rented resources Specification 1:2 Rental period 2021.10.1～2022.10.1 Billing time cycle 2021.10.1～2021.10.31 Specifications and actual usage / Total cost 2*10,000

[0106] As one possible implementation, when the resource usage table includes a first sub-table and a second sub-table, the user's rented resource billing information is generated based on the resource configuration information, the resource usage table, and the preset billing period, including:

[0107] Based on the resource configuration information, the second sub-table, and the preset billing time period, generate the user's rental resource bill information and send the bill information to the user.

[0108] Furthermore, based on resource configuration information, the second sub-table, and the preset billing period, the user's rental resource billing information is generated, including:

[0109] Based on the second sub-table and the billing time period, determine the amount of data information on the rented resources used by the user within the billing time period;

[0110] Based on resource allocation information and the amount of rented resources used by the user within the billing period, generate the user's rented resource billing information.

[0111] Specifically, in this embodiment, when a user needs to be billed, the resource management device can determine the billing period based on a preset billing period and the rental period in the resource configuration information. Since the resource usage table includes a first sub-table and a second sub-table, and the second sub-table records the user's historical resource usage information, including the time and usage information for each resource usage, the resource management device can determine the amount of rented resources used by the user within the billing period from the second sub-table based on the determined billing period. Then, based on the rental price in the resource configuration information and the amount of rented resources used by the user within the billing period, the device generates the user's rental resource billing information. The user's rental resource billing information includes at least the user's identification information, the resource's identification information, the resource specification type, the billing period, the amount of rented resources used by the user within the billing period, and the total cost for the billing period. After generating the user's rental resource billing information, the device sends the billing information to the user.

[0112] For example, suppose a storage resource is named Storage Resource C, which is divided into three specifications: Specification 1: 500G, Specification 2: 800G, and Specification 3: 1T. Specification 1 is priced at 10 yuan / G, Specification 2 at 9 yuan / G, and Specification 3 at 8 yuan / G. The unused quantity of Specification 1 is 1000, the unused quantity of Specification 2 is 500, and the unused quantity of Specification 3 is 300. Suppose user F needs to rent one Specification 1 Storage Resource C. User F can send an order request message to the resource management device, which receives the order request message. This order request message contains user F's username and the resource information rented by user F; that is, user F rents Storage Resource C, the specification of the rented resource is Specification 1: 500G, the required quantity of the rented resource is 1, the rental period is from October 1, 2021 to October 1, 2022, and the rental price is 10 yuan / G. The resource configuration information of user F can be determined according to step S102, which will not be elaborated here. Based on user F's resource configuration information, the resource management device can determine a resource usage table to record the usage information of storage resource C rented by user F. The resource usage table includes a first sub-table and a second sub-table. The first sub-table records the used information of the rented resources, and the second sub-table records the user's historical usage information of the rented resources. The resource service device obtains the resource information used by the user and updates the resource usage table accordingly.

[0113] Assuming user F's order request message includes a billing period of one month, in the first billing period, from October 1st to October 31st, 2021, the resource management device can generate billing information for rented resources for user F. First, the resource management device can determine the price of storage resource C specification 1 as 10 yuan / GB and the rented resource quantity as 1 based on user F's storage resource C resource configuration information. Then, from the historical usage information of rented storage resource C recorded in the second sub-table, it can determine the amount of data used by user F on storage resource C during the first billing period from October 1st to October 31st, 2021. Assuming user F used a total of 300GB during the first billing period from October 1st to October 31st, 2021, the total cost at this time is the product of the usage amount of rented storage resource C and the price of storage resource C specification 1, which is 3000 yuan. As shown in Table 4, during the billing period from October 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021, the billing information for real-time computing resources rented by User A includes: User F's username, the type of resource rented by User F is storage resource, the name of the storage resource is storage resource C, the specification of the rented resource is specification 1: 500G, the quantity of the rented resource is 1, the billing period is from October 1, 2021 to October 1, 2022, and the total cost is 3000 yuan. After generating the billing information for the user's rented resources in the current billing period, the resource management device can send the billing information to the user.

[0116] It should be noted that the resource management method described in the above embodiments can be applied to SaaS platform systems or other platform systems that provide resource rental services, and this application does not limit it in this regard.

[0117] As one possible implementation, Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another resource management method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the details are as follows:

[0118] Step S201: Receive the order request message sent by the user.

[0119] For details, please refer to step S101, which will not be repeated here.

[0120] Step S202: Obtain available resource information and determine the user's resource configuration information based on the order request message and available resource information.

[0121] For details, please refer to step S102, which will not be repeated here.

[0122] Step S203: Based on the user's resource configuration information, determine the resource usage table used to record the user's rental resource usage information.

[0123] For details, please refer to step S103, which will not be repeated here.

[0124] Step S204: Receive the resource usage request message sent by the user.

[0125] The resource usage request message contains the identification information of the target resource.

[0126] In this embodiment, when a user needs to use rented resources, they can send a resource usage request message to the resource management device, which then receives the message. The resource usage request message carries identification information of the target resource, which may be the name of the rented resource the user needs to use.

[0127] Step S205: Based on the resource usage request message and the first sub-table, determine whether the user has permission to use the target resource.

[0128] Specifically, after receiving a resource usage request message, the resource management device can parse the message to obtain the user's identifier information and the identifier information of the target resource the user needs to use. Then, based on the user's identifier information and the target resource's identifier information, the resource management device can determine the first sub-table corresponding to the user and check whether the user has rented the target resource within that sub-table. If it is determined that the user has rented the target resource, it can then determine whether the user has the permission to use it. That is, based on the user's identifier information and the target resource's identifier information, the first sub-table corresponding to the user is determined, and it is determined whether the first sub-table records information related to the target resource rented by the user, thereby determining whether the user has the permission to use the target resource. If it is determined that the user has the permission to use the target resource, step S206 is executed; if the user does not have the permission to use the target resource, a message denying the use of the target resource is sent to the resource service device.

[0129] Step S206: When it is determined that the user has permission to use the target resource, a message allowing the user to use the target resource is sent to the resource service device.

[0130] The message that allows the use of the target resource carries the identification information of the target resource.

[0131] Specifically, when it is determined that a user has permission to use the target resource, the resource management device can send a message to the resource service device allowing the use of the target resource. Upon receiving the message allowing the use of the target resource, the resource service device can provide the user with the service for using the target resource.

[0132] Step S207: Obtain the resource information used by the user in the resource service device, and update the resource usage table according to the resource information used by the user.

[0133] For details, please refer to step S104, which will not be repeated here.

[0134] Step S208: Based on the resource configuration information, resource usage table, and preset billing time period, generate the user's rental resource bill information and send the bill information to the user.

[0135] For details, please refer to step S105, which will not be repeated here.

[0136] Step S209: Based on the first sub-table, determine whether the amount of resources rented by the user has been used has reached the preset threshold.

[0137] In this embodiment, the preset threshold can be the maximum usage of resources rented by a certain proportion of users. Since the first sub-table records the usage information of resources rented by users, the resource management device can determine whether the usage of resources rented by users has reached the preset threshold based on the first sub-table. If the preset threshold is reached, step S210 is executed.

[0138] It should be noted that the resource management device can pre-set a threshold for the resources rented by the user based on the resource information rented by the user. For example, the threshold can be pre-set to 70% of the usable amount of the resources rented by the user, or it can be 80% of the usable amount of the resources rented by the user. This application does not limit this.

[0139] Step S210: If the preset threshold is reached, an alarm message is sent to the user.

[0140] Specifically, if the amount of resources used by a user reaches a preset threshold, it means that the amount of resources used by the user is close to the total available amount of the resources. Continued use may result in the exhaustion of all available resources. At this time, the resource management device can send an alarm message to the user to inform the user of the usage status of the resources.

[0141] As one possible implementation, the resource management device can pre-set a first threshold and a second threshold, where the second threshold is higher than the first threshold. If the resource management device determines, based on a first sub-table, that the user's used resource usage has reached the first threshold but not the second threshold, it sends a notification to the user to inform them that their used resource usage has reached the first threshold. If the user's used resource usage has reached the second threshold, it sends an alarm to inform them that their used resource usage has reached the second threshold. In this way, the resource management device can control the user's use of their rented resources or place additional rental orders based on the notifications or alarms from the resource management device to meet the user's demand for those resources.

[0142] Step S211: Update the number of unused available resources in the available resources list based on the user's resource configuration information.

[0143] Specifically, after the resource management device determines the user's resource configuration information based on the user's order request message and available resource information, it indicates that the user has rented a certain amount of resources. At this point, it needs to update the unused quantity of that resource in the unused quantity of available resources in the available resource information to ensure the accuracy of the unused quantity information. The resource management device can determine the unused quantity of the target resource from the unused quantity of available resources based on the resource identifier information of the resources rented by the user in the user's resource configuration information. And based on the quantity of resources rented by the user in the user's resource configuration information, it updates the unused quantity of the target resource in the available resources.

[0144] In this way, for each user, the resource management device can determine the user's resource configuration information based on the user's order information and available resource information. Furthermore, based on the user's resource configuration information, a resource usage table can be established to record the user's rental resource usage information, including usage history, facilitating the monitoring of the user's resource usage. The resource service equipment retrieves the user's resource usage information and updates the resource usage table accordingly. Then, based on the resource configuration information, resource usage table, and preset billing time period, a billing information for the user's rental resources is generated. Therefore, using this method, management of each type of resource rented by each user can be achieved without relying on a big data computing platform, and billing for the user's rental resources can be completed, greatly simplifying the billing process and improving work efficiency.
