Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of trial function control, and more specifically, to trial function control methods, servers, computer devices, and computer-readable storage media. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, enterprise management software develops new functions (features) from time to time based on market demand. These new functions are then tested by some customers to obtain their verification and feedback. To obtain customer verification and feedback on the new functions more efficiently, the trial functions for target clients can be controlled.

[0003] The existing method for controlling trial features is as follows: for a new trial feature, the target client that needs to try the new feature is identified, the developers develop a temporary patch package containing the new trial feature based on the current version of the target client, and install the temporary patch package on the target client. The target client can then use the new feature normally through the temporary patch package.

[0004] However, when it is necessary to control the trial functionality for a large number of target clients, a corresponding temporary patch package needs to be developed for each target client. This results in a large number of temporary patch packages being developed, leading to low efficiency in controlling the trial functionality. Summary of the Invention

[0030] Optionally, the step of periodically synchronizing the delayed target trial time of the target trial function to the target client includes:

[0031] If the target feature trial information table does not include the trial status table of the target client for the target trial function, then the historical usage of the target client for the target trial function is obtained;

[0050] This application provides a trial function control method, server, computer device, and computer-readable storage medium to improve the control efficiency of controlling the trial functions corresponding to a large number of target clients.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 The architecture of the trial functional control system in this application embodiment includes:

[0052] Server 101 and target client 102. When controlling the trial function, server 101 can connect to client 102. Server 101 can determine the target feature trial information table and synchronize the target feature trial information table to client 102. Client 102 can control the target trial function according to the target feature trial information table.

[0053] based on Figure 1 Please refer to the trial function control system shown. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a trial function control method disclosed in an embodiment of this application. The method includes:

[0054] 201. Determine the target feature trial information table; wherein, the target feature trial information table includes the trial function and the trial time corresponding to the trial function.

[0055] In this embodiment, when controlling the trial function, a target feature trial information table can be determined; wherein, the target feature trial information table includes the trial function and the trial time corresponding to the trial function.

[0056] 202. Periodically synchronize the target feature trial information table to the target client to control the target client's target trial function to be used within the target trial period, where the target trial period is the trial time corresponding to the target trial function in the target feature trial information table.

[0057] After determining the target feature trial information table, it can be periodically synchronized to the target client to control the trial of the target feature's functions within the target trial period. The target trial period is the trial time corresponding to the target trial function in the target feature trial information table. It's worth noting that delayed trial processing can also be implemented for the target client's target trial functions. This can be achieved by first obtaining the delayed trial request from the target client, then determining the delayed target trial time based on the request, and finally periodically synchronizing the delayed target trial time to the target client. Other reasonable delayed trial processing methods can also be used; specific methods are not limited here.

[0058] In this embodiment, a target feature trial information table can be determined. The target feature trial information table includes trial functions and trial times corresponding to the trial functions. The target feature trial information table is periodically synchronized to the target clients. When it is necessary to control the target trial functions corresponding to a large number of target clients, it is only necessary to synchronize the target feature trial information table to a large number of target clients to control the target trial functions corresponding to a large number of target clients to be used within the target trial time, thereby improving the control efficiency of controlling the target trial functions corresponding to a large number of target clients.

[0059] In this embodiment of the application, after periodically synchronizing the target feature trial information table to the target client, the target trial function of the target client can also be subject to delayed trial processing. There are various methods for specifically performing delayed trial processing on the target client's target trial function, based on... Figure 1 The trial function control method shown below describes one of the methods.

[0060] In this embodiment, when controlling the trial function, a target feature trial information table can be determined; wherein, the target feature trial information table includes the trial function and the trial time corresponding to the trial function.

[0061] One method for determining the target feature trial information table is to first obtain a preset function set, then identify trial functions from the preset function set and determine the corresponding trial periods for each trial function, and finally generate the target feature trial information table based on the trial functions and their corresponding trial periods. For example, the preset function set may include functions such as development banking, online banking, and expense management. Development banking and expense management can be identified as trial functions from the preset function set, and the trial periods for other trial functions such as development banking and expense management can be determined. For instance, the trial period for development banking could be from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2023, and the trial period for expense management could be from June 1, 2021 to June 1, 2023. Please refer to [link / reference] for details. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another trial function control method disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 In the cloud server, new trial functions can be added. Then, the new trial functions can be saved, submitted, and reviewed. If the review fails, the trial function will be set to a disabled state. If the review is approved, the trial period corresponding to the trial function will be set, and a target feature trial information table will be generated based on the trial function and the trial period corresponding to the trial function.

[0062] After determining the target feature trial information table, it can be periodically synchronized to the target client to control the trial of the target feature's functions within the target trial period. The target trial period is the trial time corresponding to the target trial function in the target feature trial information table. Specifically, the method for periodically synchronizing the target feature trial information table to the target client can be as follows: the server provides an interface to retrieve the target feature trial information table, and the table is periodically synchronized to the target client through this interface. Other reasonable methods for periodically synchronizing the target feature trial information table to the target client can also be used; specific methods are not limited here. Please continue reading. Figure 3 , Figure 3 After determining the target feature trial information table, an interface for obtaining the target feature trial information table can be provided, allowing the target client to execute a timed retrieval task to periodically obtain the target feature trial information table through the interface.

[0063] After periodically synchronizing the target feature trial information table to the target client, the target trial function on the target client can be delayed. Specifically, the method for delaying the trial of the target trial function on the target client can be as follows: first, obtain the delayed trial request sent by the target client for the target trial function; then, determine the delayed target trial time of the target trial function based on the delayed trial request; finally, periodically synchronize the delayed target trial time of the target trial function to the target client.

[0064] One method for determining the target trial time after the delay of the target trial function based on the delayed trial request is to first determine the first trial time of the target trial function in the delayed trial request, then determine whether the first trial time is greater than or equal to the target trial time, obtain the judgment result, and finally determine the target trial time after the delay of the target trial function based on the judgment result.

[0065] One method for determining the delayed target trial time based on the judgment result is as follows: if the first trial time is greater than or equal to the target trial time, then the first trial time is taken as the delayed target trial time; if the first trial time is less than the target trial time, then the target trial time is taken as the delayed target trial time.

[0066] One method for periodically synchronizing the delayed target trial time of the target trial function to the target client is as follows: If the target feature trial information table includes a trial status table for the target client regarding the target trial function, then first modify the target trial time of the target trial function in the trial status table to the delayed target trial time. The trial status table indicates that the target client has tried the target trial function and records the target trial time. Then, the delayed target trial time in the modified trial status table is periodically synchronized to the target client. Another method for periodically synchronizing the delayed target trial time in the modified trial status table to the target client is to synchronize the delayed target trial time in the modified trial status table to the target client based on the target client's identifier. The identifier can be a customer product instance identifier or other identifiers, such as "166795777314af1d74fecfbecd4d70ba".

[0067] It's worth noting that by periodically synchronizing the delayed trial time of the target trial feature to the target client, a trial status table for the target client regarding the target trial feature can be obtained. Specifically, this table can be generated by first calling an API to obtain the current usage data of the target client regarding the target trial feature when the network is stable and the target client is trying the feature; then, the trial status table can be generated based on this data. Furthermore, the target client can access the target trial feature through a logical method such as menus, frequently used functions, or navigation search.

[0068] It's worth noting that after synchronizing the target feature trial information table to the target client, if the network condition is poor, the target trial function can be controlled based on the target trial time in the target feature trial information table obtained by the target client. If the network condition is good and the target trial time of the synchronized and modified target trial function is available, the target trial function can be controlled based on the modified target trial time in the target feature trial information table obtained by the target client. If the network condition is good and the target trial time of the synchronized and delayed target trial function is available, the target trial function can be controlled based on the delayed target trial time obtained by the target client. Even with poor network conditions, the target trial function of the target client can still be controlled. With good network conditions, the target trial function of each client can be controlled based on the uniformly modified target trial time. Furthermore, the trial time can be extended according to the different needs of different clients. This allows for targeted control of the target trial function based on the different needs of different clients, improving both the comprehensiveness and the granularity of trial function control.

[0069] Another method for periodically synchronizing the delayed target trial time of the target trial feature to the target client is as follows: If the target feature trial information table does not include the target client's trial status table for the target trial feature, then first obtain the target client's historical usage data for the target trial feature, and then generate the target client's trial status table for the target trial feature based on the historical usage data. This trial status table indicates that the target client has tried the target trial feature and records the target trial time, which is the delayed target trial time. Finally, the delayed target trial time in the generated trial status table is periodically synchronized to the target client. Specifically, the method for periodically synchronizing the delayed target trial time in the generated trial status table to the target client can be based on the target client's identifier (customer product instance identifier or other identifier), or other reasonable methods for periodically synchronizing the delayed target trial time in the generated trial status table to the target client; no specific limitation is made here.

[0070] It's worth noting that the trial feature control method is compatible with license control. For trial features that have already been issued, the client will automatically cancel the control over the trial feature. For example, if the trial period for the "Open Banking" feature has expired and the trial has ended, client A will no longer be able to directly open the feature's interface by clicking the "Open Banking" menu; a message will appear indicating that the trial has ended and that continued use requires purchasing the product. Providing a notification that the trial has ended for expired trial features improves the user-friendliness of trial feature control. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a trial function control method disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 The pop-up window is used to display information such as the expiration date of the trial of feature A.

[0071] It is understood that, in addition to the methods described above for determining the target feature trial information table; in addition to the methods described above for delaying the trial of the target trial function on the target client; in addition to the methods described above for determining the delayed target trial time of the target trial function based on the delayed trial request; in addition to the methods described above for determining the delayed target trial time of the target trial function based on the judgment result; in addition to the methods described above for periodically synchronizing the delayed target trial time of the target trial function to the target client; other reasonable methods may also be used, and specific methods are not limited here.

[0072] In this embodiment, a target feature trial information table can be determined. This table includes trial functions and corresponding trial times. The target feature trial information table is periodically synchronized to target clients. When controlling the target trial functions for a large number of target clients, simply synchronizing the target feature trial information table to all target clients allows control over the target trial functions for all clients within the target trial time, improving control efficiency. Furthermore, the periodic synchronization enhances the real-time performance of trial function control. Secondly, even with poor network conditions, control of target trial functions for target clients remains possible. With good network conditions, control can be applied to the target trial functions of each client based on a uniformly modified target trial time. Additionally, the trial time can be extended according to the different needs of different clients, improving the comprehensiveness and granularity of trial function control, and enhancing its flexibility. This provides sufficient space for rapid market validation of functions and facilitates further exploration and follow-up with potential customers.

[0076] In this embodiment, a target feature trial information table can be determined. The target feature trial information table includes trial functions and trial times corresponding to the trial functions. The target feature trial information table is periodically synchronized to the target clients. When it is necessary to control the target trial functions corresponding to a large number of target clients, it is only necessary to synchronize the target feature trial information table to a large number of target clients to control the target trial functions corresponding to a large number of target clients to be used within the target trial time, thereby improving the control efficiency of controlling the target trial functions corresponding to a large number of target clients.
