[0044] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solution of this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] It should be understood that the "indication" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be a direct indication, an indirect indication, or an indication of an association. For example, "A indicates B" can mean that A directly indicates B, for example, B can be obtained through A; it can also mean that A indirectly indicates B, for example, A indicates C, and B can be obtained through C; it can also mean that there is an association between A and B.

[0046] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "corresponding" may indicate a direct or indirect correspondence between the two, or an association relationship between the two, or a relationship between indication and being indicated, configuration and being configured, etc.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, "predefinition" can be achieved by pre-saving corresponding codes, tables or other methods that can be used to indicate relevant information in a device (for example, including a terminal device and a network device). This application does not limit its specific implementation method.

[0048] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for operating a timer according to an exemplary embodiment. The method can be executed by a computer device. Figure 1 As shown, the operation method of the timer may include the following steps:

[0049] Step 110: Obtain configuration information of the timer, the configuration information including: tracking target.

[0050] The configuration information of the timer is information for configuring various parameters of the calculator.

[0051] The configuration information includes a tracking target set for the timer, where the tracking target refers to the object that the timer stops tracking. For example, the tracking target is recorded as _lifeTimeTracker.

[0052] Optionally, the configuration information further includes at least one of the following parameters: trigger time _fireDate, static period _interval, dynamic period _dynamicInterval, whether to repeat _repeats, and trigger event block.

[0053] Step 120: Create a timer based on the configuration information.

[0054] After obtaining the configuration information of the timer, create the timer using the set configuration information.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the created timer may be a timer based on Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) technology. For example, Dispatch Source Timer belongs to GCD technology, and the created timer is a timer that encapsulates Dispatch Source Timer.

[0056] Step 130: Establish a follow-stop relationship between the timer and the tracking target.

[0057] After creating a timer, establish a follow-stop relationship between the timer and the tracking target. The follow-stop relationship between the timer and the tracking target means that the release or stop of the timer will cause the tracking target to release or stop.

[0058] Step 140: When the tracking target is released, based on the follow-stop relationship, stop and release the timer.

[0059] When the tracking target is released, the timer will automatically stop and release based on the follow stop relationship.

[0060] In summary, the timer operation method provided in this embodiment is that a tracking target can be set in the configuration information of the timer. When the tracking target is released, the timer will automatically stop and release based on the follow-stop relationship between the timer and the tracking target. The timer can be stopped without manual operation, thereby avoiding memory leaks caused by the cyclic execution of the timer.

[0061] In the exemplary embodiment, a follow-stop relationship between the timer and the tracking target is established through a defined release packet.

[0062] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for operating a timer according to an exemplary embodiment. The method can be executed by a computer device. Figure 2 As shown, the operation method of the timer may include the following steps:

[0063] Step 210: Obtain configuration information of the timer, the configuration information including: tracking target.

[0064] Step 220: Create a timer based on the configuration information.

[0065] Step 230: Create a release package and add the timer into the release package.

[0066] In a possible implementation, an Objective-C class named release package is defined, and a timer can be added to the release package.

[0067] Step 240: injecting a release packet into the tracking target, so that a follow-stop relationship is established between the timer and the tracking target.

[0068] Add a timer to the release package and inject the release package into the tracking target to establish a follow-stop relationship between the tracking target and the timer.

[0069] In a possible implementation, a strong reference release package is injected into the tracking target through runtime technology.

[0070] Step 250: When the tracking target is released, stop and release the timer based on the follow-stop relationship.

[0071] In a possible implementation, when the tracking target is released, the release package injected into the tracking target is automatically released based on the ARC technology; when the release package is released, the timer in the release package is stopped and released.

[0072] ARC is a memory management mechanism that sets a rule: when an object's reference count reaches 0, it is released. Therefore, when the tracking target is released, the reference count of the release package becomes 0 and it is automatically released.

[0073] In a possible implementation manner, stopping and releasing the timer in the release package is implemented based on the dealloc function of the release package.

[0074] Among them, the dealloc function is a function used to release memory.

[0075] Exemplary, with reference to Figure 3,For the timer's follow-stop function, the process includes the following: first, add the timer to the release package, then inject the release package into the tracking target, when the tracking target is released, the release package is released, and finally stop the timer in the dealloc of the release package.

[0076] In summary, the timer operation method provided in this embodiment defines a release package, adds a timer in the release package, and injects the release package into the tracking target, thereby establishing a follow-stop relationship between the tracking target and the timer, thereby ensuring the implementation of the follow-stop function of the timer.

[0077] In the exemplary embodiment, a dynamic period function is introduced for the timer.

[0078] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for operating a timer according to an exemplary embodiment. The method can be executed by a computer device. Figure 4 As shown, the operation method of the timer may include the following steps:

[0079] Step 410: Obtain configuration information of the timer, which includes: tracking target and dynamic period code block.

[0080] The dynamic period code block is a code block used to configure a dynamic period for the timer.

[0081] Step 420: Create a timer based on the configuration information.

[0082] Step 430: Establish a follow-stop relationship between the timer and the tracking target.

[0083] The follow-stop relationship is used to indicate the release of the timer and the release of the tracking target.

[0084] Step 440: When the tracking target is released, stop and release the timer based on the follow-stop relationship.

[0085] Step 450: When the timer is triggered, the updated trigger interval is obtained through the dynamic period code block.

[0086] Step 460: Trigger the timer again based on the updated trigger interval.

[0087] Each time the timer is triggered, the timer obtains the trigger interval from the next timer trigger through the dynamic period code block, thereby dynamically updating the trigger interval of the timer.

[0088] It should be understood that based on the dynamic cycle function, the trigger interval of each timer can be customized. In scenarios such as heartbeat detection and network timeout reconnection, the trigger interval of the timer can be changed according to the current number of triggers.

[0089] For example, in the scenario of network timeout and reconnection, based on the dynamic period function provided by this application, it can be set to re-request the network every 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 seconds.

[0090] Exemplary, with reference to Figure 5 For the dynamic cycle function of the timer, the following process is included: create a new timer; calculate the trigger time of the timer through the dynamic cycle block (i.e., the dynamic cycle code block); determine whether the timer needs to be released based on the current number of triggers of the timer; if the number of triggers of the timer reaches the limit, release the timer; if the number of triggers of the timer does not reach the limit, set the trigger time; based on the set trigger time, trigger the timer again.

[0091] To sum up, the timer operation method provided in this embodiment introduces a dynamic period function for the timer, and can customize the trigger interval of each trigger of the timer. Compared with the technical solution in the prior art that the timer can only set a fixed trigger interval, it can better support scenarios where the trigger interval needs to be dynamically changed.

[0092] In the exemplary embodiment, an object binding function is introduced for the timer.

[0093] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for operating a timer according to an exemplary embodiment. The method can be executed by a computer device. Figure 6 As shown, the operation method of the timer may include the following steps:

[0094] Step 610: Obtain configuration information of the timer, the configuration information including: tracking target.

[0095] Step 620: Create a timer based on the configuration information.

[0096] Step 630: Establish a follow-stop relationship between the timer and the tracking target.

[0097] The follow-stop relationship is used to indicate the release of the timer and the release of the tracking target.

[0098] Step 640: When the tracking target is released, stop and release the timer based on the follow-stop relationship.

[0099] Step 650: Establish a mapping relationship between the object and the timer.

[0100] In a possible implementation, the object is converted into a string; the timer is stored in a hash table, and the key of the timer in the hash table is a string, thereby establishing a mapping relationship between the object and the timer.

[0101] In a possible implementation, a memory address of the object is obtained; and the memory address is used as the converted string, thereby converting the object into a string.

[0102] That is, the memory address of the object is used as the keyword, and the keyword is mapped to a unique timer using a hash table, thereby realizing the function of object binding timer.

[0103] Step 660: Query the timer based on the mapping relationship.

[0104] Since the timer is bound to the object, when a timer query is needed, the object can be used as a parameter to find the timer bound to the object based on the mapping relationship.

[0105] In the embodiments of the present application, an object binding function is introduced for the timer, eliminating the need for the object to hold the timer. Since an object holding a timer requires declaring the timer in the object's code implementation, which requires a large amount of code, modifying the relationship between the object and the timer and binding the object to the timer can reduce the amount of code required during development.

[0106] Exemplary, with reference to Figure 7 ,For the object binding function of the timer, the following process is included: operate the timer through the object; determine whether to create a timer; if the timer is being created, use the memory address of the object as the key, map it to the timer using a hash table, and then determine whether the timer has expired. If the timer has expired, delete the record in the hash table; if the timer is not being created, use the memory address of the object as the key, search the timer from the hash table, determine whether the timer exists in the hash table, if the timer exists, operate the timer, and then determine whether the timer has expired. If the timer has expired, delete the record in the hash table.

[0107] In summary, the timer operation method provided in this embodiment introduces an object binding function for the timer, so that the object does not need to hold the timer, which can reduce the amount of code during development.

[0108] It can be seen from the above embodiments that based on the technical solution provided by this application, the timer can support the following functions: follow-up stop, object binding, and dynamic cycle.

[0109] For the timer shown in the embodiment of the present application, its architecture can be as follows: Figure 8 As shown, it includes: management module, configuration module, timer module and release module. The description of each module is as follows:

[0110] The management module provides timer-related functions and manages the timer's life cycle. It is the only external interface.

[0111] The configuration module provides relevant configuration supported by the timer;

[0112] The timer module implements relevant functions of the timer;

[0113] The release module implements the follow-stop function of the timer.
