[0002] With the development of internet technology, various types of e-commerce platforms have emerged.

[0034] Figure 1 An exemplary system architecture 100 is shown that can be applied to the information transmission method or information transmission apparatus of this application.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, the system architecture 100 may include terminal devices 101, 102, and 103, networks 104 and 106, a monitoring server 105, and video servers 107, 108, and 109.

Networks 104 and 106 may include various connection types, such as wired or wireless communication links or fiber optic cables, etc.

[0036] Users can use terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 to interact with server 105 via network 104 to receive or send messages, etc. Various communication client applications can be installed on terminal devices 101, 102, and 103, such as video playback applications, instant messaging tools, e-commerce management applications, etc.

[0037] Terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 can be various electronic devices with displays and web browsing capabilities, including but not limited to smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers.

[0038] The monitoring server 105 can analyze and process data such as video acquisition requests sent by terminal devices 101, 102, and 103; it can also analyze the network status of the warehouse to determine whether the warehouse network supports video transmission; and it can also interact with video servers 107, 108, and 109 through network 106 to transmit data.

[0039] Video servers 107, 108, and 109 can be deployed in the warehouse's computer room. Video servers 107, 108, and 109 can acquire and store real-time production videos from the warehouse so that monitoring servers can access the videos.

[0040] It should be noted that the information transmission method provided in this application embodiment is generally executed by the monitoring server 105, and correspondingly, the information transmission device is generally set in the monitoring server 105.

[0041] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices, networks, and servers shown is merely illustrative. Depending on implementation needs, any number of terminal devices, networks, monitoring servers, and video servers can be included.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 2The diagram illustrates a flow 200 of an embodiment of an information transmission method for a monitoring server according to this application. The monitoring server is communicatively connected to clients and video servers located in various warehouses across multiple warehouses. The information transmission method includes the following steps:

[0043] Step 201: In response to receiving a video acquisition request containing a warehouse identifier sent by the client, the warehouse indicated by the warehouse identifier is taken as the target warehouse, and the current network data and preset network data of the target warehouse are queried.

[0044] In this embodiment, the information transmission method operates with the electronic device on which it operates (e.g., Figure 1 The monitoring server 105 shown responds to receiving a client (e.g.) Figure 1 The video acquisition request sent by the terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 (shown) and containing a warehouse identifier can use the warehouse indicated by the warehouse identifier as the target warehouse to query the current network data and preset network data of the target warehouse. The warehouse identifier can be a string composed of various characters (e.g., numbers, letters, symbols, etc.) used to indicate and distinguish warehouses. It should be noted that the current network data can be various data used to characterize the current network status of the target warehouse. For example, the current network data may include current network bandwidth, uplink traffic, downlink traffic, network latency, etc. It should also be noted that the preset network data may include various network configuration information of the target warehouse (e.g., total bandwidth) and various thresholds preset by technicians (e.g., network bandwidth threshold, network latency threshold, packet loss rate threshold, etc.).

[0045] Step 202: Based on the comparison between the current network data and the preset network data, determine whether the current network of the target warehouse supports video transmission.

[0046] In this embodiment, the electronic device can determine whether the target warehouse's current network supports video transmission based on a comparison between current network data and preset network data. Specifically, the electronic device can determine whether the target warehouse's current network supports transmission by comparing one or more data items contained in the current network data with one or more corresponding data items in the preset network data. As an example, in response to determining that the current network bandwidth contained in the current network data is less than the network bandwidth threshold contained in the preset network data, it can be determined that the warehouse's current network does not support video transmission; in response to determining that the current network bandwidth contained in the current network data is not less than the network bandwidth threshold contained in the preset network data, it can be determined that the warehouse's current network supports video transmission.

[0047] Step 203: In response to determining that the target warehouse's current network supports video transmission, a video acquisition request is sent to the video server located in the target warehouse.

[0048] In this embodiment, in response to determining that the target warehouse's current network supports video transmission, the aforementioned electronic device can send a video acquisition request to the video server located in the target warehouse via a wired or wireless connection. It should be noted that the aforementioned wireless connection methods may include, but are not limited to, 3G / 4G connections, WiFi connections, Bluetooth connections, WiMAX connections, Zigbee connections, UWB (ultra-wideband) connections, and other currently known or future-developed wireless connection methods.

[0049] Step 204: Send the video returned by the video server located in the target warehouse to the client.

[0050] In this embodiment, after the electronic device sends the video acquisition request to the video server located in the target warehouse, it can receive the video returned by the video server and send the video to the client.

[0051] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of the information transmission method according to this embodiment. Figure 3 In this application scenario, firstly, the user uses client 301 to send a video acquisition request 303 containing a warehouse identifier to monitoring server 302. Then, monitoring server 302 uses the warehouse indicated by the warehouse identifier as the target warehouse, queries the current network data and preset network data of the target warehouse, and determines whether the current network of the target warehouse supports video transmission based on the comparison between the current network data and the preset network data. In response to determining that the current network of the target warehouse supports video transmission, the user sends the video acquisition request 303 to the video server 304 located in the target warehouse. Afterwards, video server 304 returns video 305 to monitoring server 302. Finally, monitoring server 302 returns video 305 to client 301.

[0052] The method provided in the above embodiments of this application, after receiving a video acquisition request containing a warehouse identifier sent by the client, queries the current network data and preset network data of the warehouse indicated by the target warehouse identifier. Then, based on the comparison between the current network data and the preset network data, it determines whether the current network of the target warehouse supports video transmission. In response to the determination that the current network of the target warehouse supports video transmission, it sends the video acquisition request to the corresponding video server. Finally, it sends the video returned by the video server to the client. This allows for dynamic control of video transmission and access to the warehouse based on the current network status of the warehouse, ensuring that video traffic does not affect normal business operations and improving the flexibility of data interaction.

[0053] Further reference Figure 4 This illustrates a flow 400 of another embodiment of the information transmission method. Flow 400 of the information transmission method includes the following steps:

[0054] Step 401: In response to receiving a video acquisition request containing a warehouse identifier sent by the client, the warehouse indicated by the warehouse identifier is taken as the target warehouse, and the current network data and preset network data of the target warehouse are queried.

[0055] In this embodiment, the information transmission method operates with the electronic device on which it operates (e.g., Figure 1 The monitoring server 105 shown responds to receiving a client (e.g.) Figure 1 The video acquisition request sent by the terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 shown, which includes a warehouse identifier, can use the warehouse indicated by the warehouse identifier as the target warehouse and query the current network data and preset network data of the target warehouse.

[0056] It should be noted that the aforementioned current network data may include the current network latency rate and the current packet loss rate, and the aforementioned preset network data may include the preset network latency rate and the preset packet loss rate. Here, the aforementioned current network latency rate can be the ratio of the network latency duration from a certain time to the current time to the total duration of that time period. The aforementioned current packet loss rate can be the ratio of the number of lost data packets to the number of transmitted data packets during that time period. The aforementioned preset network latency rate and preset packet loss rate can be values ​​preset by technicians based on extensive data statistics.

[0057] It should be noted that the current network data may also include the current bandwidth usage percentage and the current number of concurrent requests. The aforementioned preset network data may also include a preset table mapping bandwidth usage percentage to concurrent request thresholds. Here, the current bandwidth usage percentage may be the ratio of the current bandwidth of the target warehouse's network to the total bandwidth of the target warehouse's network. The current number of concurrent requests may be the total number of video retrieval requests containing the warehouse identifier of the target warehouse received by the electronic device but not returned to the client. In practice, the electronic device increments the current number of concurrent requests by 1 each time it receives a video retrieval request containing the warehouse identifier of the target warehouse; and decrements the current number of concurrent requests by 1 each time it returns the video indicated by the video retrieval request containing the warehouse identifier of the target warehouse to the client.

[0058] Step 402: In response to determining that the current network latency rate is greater than the preset network latency rate or the current packet loss rate is greater than the preset packet loss rate, determine that the current network of the target warehouse does not support video transmission.

[0059] In this embodiment, the electronic device can determine whether the current network latency rate is greater than the preset network latency rate, and whether the current packet loss rate is greater than the preset packet loss rate. In response to determining that the current network latency rate is greater than the preset network latency rate or the current packet loss rate is greater than the preset packet loss rate, it can be determined that the target warehouse's current network does not support video transmission, and then step 405 can be executed. In response to determining that the current network latency rate is not greater than the preset network latency rate and the current packet loss rate is not greater than the preset packet loss rate, step 403 can be executed.

[0060] Step 403: In response to determining that the current network latency rate is not greater than the preset network latency rate and the current packet loss rate is not greater than the preset packet loss rate, determine the concurrent request threshold corresponding to the current bandwidth usage percentage from the corresponding relationship table.

[0061] In this embodiment, in response to determining that the current network latency rate is not greater than the preset network latency rate and the current packet loss rate is not greater than the preset packet loss rate, the electronic device can determine the concurrent request threshold corresponding to the current bandwidth usage percentage from the corresponding relationship table.

[0062] Step 404: In response to determining that the current number of concurrent requests is greater than the determined concurrent request threshold, determine that the target warehouse's current network does not support video transmission.

[0063] In this embodiment, the electronic device can compare the current number of concurrent requests with a determined concurrent request threshold. In response to determining that the current number of concurrent requests is greater than the determined concurrent request threshold, the electronic device can determine that the target warehouse's current network does not support video transmission and execute step 405. In response to determining that the current number of concurrent requests is not greater than the determined concurrent request threshold, the electronic device can execute step 406.

[0064] Step 405: In response to determining that the target warehouse's current network does not support video transmission, a prompt message indicating current network congestion is sent to the client.

[0065] In this embodiment, in response to determining that the target warehouse's current network does not support video transmission, the aforementioned electronic device can send a prompt message indicating current network congestion to the client.

[0066] Step 406: In response to determining that the current number of concurrent requests is not greater than the determined concurrent request threshold, determine that the target warehouse's current network supports video transmission.

[0067] In this embodiment, the electronic device can determine that the target warehouse's current network supports video transmission in response to determining that the current number of concurrent requests is not greater than the determined concurrent request threshold.

[0068] Step 407: In response to determining that the target warehouse's current network supports video transmission, a video acquisition request is sent to the video server located in the target warehouse.

[0069] In this embodiment, in response to determining that the target warehouse's current network supports video transmission, the aforementioned electronic device can send the aforementioned video acquisition request to the video server located in the target warehouse via a wired connection or a wireless connection.

[0070] Step 408: Send the video returned by the video server located in the target warehouse to the client.

[0071] In this embodiment, after the electronic device sends the video acquisition request to the video server located in the target warehouse, it can receive the video returned by the video server and send the video to the client.

[0072] from Figure 4 It can be seen from this that, with Figure 2Compared to the corresponding embodiments, the information transmission method in this embodiment emphasizes the step of determining whether the target warehouse's current network supports video transmission based on a comparison between current network data and preset network data. Therefore, the solution described in this embodiment can introduce more data for comparison between the current network data and the preset network data, thereby more comprehensively determining whether the current network supports video transmission and further improving the flexibility of data interaction.

[0073] Further reference Figure 5 As an implementation of the methods shown in the above figures, this application provides an embodiment of an information transmission device, which is similar to... Figure 2 Corresponding to the illustrated method embodiment, this device can be specifically applied to a monitoring server. The monitoring server communicates with both the client and video servers located in various warehouses.

[0074] like Figure 5 As shown, the information transmission device 500 described in this embodiment includes: a query unit 501, configured to, in response to receiving a video acquisition request containing a warehouse identifier sent by the client, query the current network data and preset network data of the target warehouse, taking the warehouse indicated by the warehouse identifier as the target warehouse; a determination unit 502, configured to, based on a comparison between the current network data and the preset network data, determine whether the current network of the target warehouse supports video transmission; a first sending unit 503, configured to, in response to determining that the current network of the target warehouse supports video transmission, send the video acquisition request to a video server located in the target warehouse; and a second sending unit 504, configured to send the video returned by the video server located in the target warehouse to the client.

[0075] In this embodiment, in response to receiving a video acquisition request containing a warehouse identifier sent by the client, the query unit 501 can use the warehouse indicated by the warehouse identifier as the target warehouse and query the current network data and preset network data of the target warehouse.

[0076] In this embodiment, the determining unit 502 can determine whether the target warehouse's current network supports video transmission based on a comparison between the current network data and preset network data. Specifically, it can determine whether the target warehouse's current network supports transmission based on a comparison between one or more data items contained in the current network data and one or more corresponding data items in the preset network data.

[0077] In this embodiment, in response to determining that the target warehouse's current network supports video transmission, the first sending unit 503 can send the video acquisition request to the video server located in the target warehouse via a wired connection or a wireless connection.

[0078] In this embodiment, the second sending unit 504 can receive the video returned by the video server and send the video to the client.

[0079] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the current network data may include the current network latency rate and the current packet loss rate, and the preset network data may include the preset network latency rate and the preset packet loss rate. The determining unit 502 may be further configured to determine, in response to determining that the current network of the target warehouse does not support video transmission, either by determining that the current network latency rate is greater than the preset network latency rate or the current packet loss rate is greater than the preset packet loss rate.

[0080] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the current network data may further include the current bandwidth usage percentage and the current number of concurrent requests, and the preset network data may further include a preset correspondence table between bandwidth usage percentage and concurrent request threshold. The determining unit 502 may be further configured to, in response to determining that the current network latency rate is not greater than the preset network latency rate and the current packet loss rate is not greater than the preset packet loss rate, determine the concurrent request threshold corresponding to the current bandwidth usage percentage from the correspondence table; and in response to determining that the current number of concurrent requests is greater than the determined concurrent request threshold, determine that the current network of the target warehouse does not support video transmission.

[0081] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the determining unit 502 may be further configured to determine the target warehouse’s current network support for video transmission in response to determining that the current number of concurrent requests is not greater than a determined concurrent request threshold.

[0082] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the information transmission device 500 may further include a third sending unit (not shown in the figure). This third sending unit may be configured to send a prompt message indicating current network congestion to the client in response to determining that the target warehouse's current network does not support video transmission.

[0083] The apparatus provided in the above embodiments of this application, after receiving a video acquisition request containing a warehouse identifier sent by the client, the query unit 501 takes the warehouse indicated by the warehouse identifier as the target warehouse, queries the current network data and preset network data of the warehouse indicated by the target warehouse identifier, and then the determination unit 502 determines whether the current network of the target warehouse supports video transmission based on the comparison between the current network data and the preset network data. Then, the first sending unit 503, in response to the determination that the current network of the target warehouse supports video transmission, sends the video acquisition request to the video server, and finally the second sending unit 504 sends the video returned by the video server to the client. In this way, the video transmission and access of the warehouse can be dynamically controlled based on the current network status of the warehouse, so as to ensure that the video traffic does not affect the normal business operation and improve the flexibility of data interaction.

[0084] Further reference Figure 6 It illustrates a schematic diagram 600 of the interaction process between devices in an information transmission system according to this application.

[0085] The aforementioned information transmission system includes a client, a monitoring server, and video servers located in various warehouses. The monitoring server, in response to receiving a video acquisition request containing a warehouse identifier from the client, identifies the warehouse indicated by the warehouse identifier as the target warehouse, queries the current network data and preset network data of the target warehouse, determines whether the current network of the target warehouse supports video transmission based on a comparison of the current network data and the preset network data, and if so, sends the video acquisition request to the video server located in the target warehouse and sends the video returned by the video server in the target warehouse to the client.

[0086] like Figure 6 As shown, in the information transmission system, the interaction process 600 between devices may include the following steps:

[0087] Step 601: The client sends a video retrieval request containing the warehouse identifier to the monitoring server.

[0088] In this embodiment, the client can send a video acquisition request containing a warehouse identifier to the monitoring server via a wired or wireless connection.

[0089] Step 602: The monitoring server uses the warehouse indicated by the warehouse identifier as the target warehouse and queries the current network data and preset network data of the target warehouse.

[0090] In this embodiment, the monitoring server can use the warehouse indicated by the warehouse identifier as the target warehouse and query the current network data and preset network data of the target warehouse.

[0091] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the information transmission system may further include a network probing server and a warehouse terminal for each of the plurality of warehouses. The network probing server may periodically send network probing requests to the warehouse terminals of each warehouse to obtain network data (e.g., network latency, packet loss rate, bandwidth usage percentage, etc.) for each warehouse. For each of the plurality of warehouses, the warehouse terminal may determine whether the received network probing request is a target probing request. The target probing request may be a PING (Packet Internet Groper) command (e.g., PING 172.19.23.22) or other commands pre-specified by a technician. In response to determining that the network probing request received by the warehouse terminal is a target probing request, the warehouse terminal may execute the command indicated by the received target probing request and return the execution result to the network probing server. In response to determining that the network probe request received by a warehouse terminal is not the target probe request mentioned above, the warehouse terminal can send a data query request to the router or switch installed in the warehouse, and send the data returned by the router or switch (such as network bandwidth, network latency, packet loss rate, etc.) to the network probe server. The network probe server can cache the execution results and data returned by each warehouse terminal.

[0092] Step 603: The monitoring server determines whether the target warehouse's current network supports video transmission based on a comparison between the current network data and the aforementioned preset network data.

[0093] In this embodiment, the monitoring server can determine whether the target warehouse's current network supports video transmission by comparing the current network data with preset network data. Specifically, the monitoring server can determine whether the target warehouse's current network supports transmission by comparing one or more data items contained in the current network data with one or more corresponding data items in the preset network data.

[0094] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the aforementioned current network data may include the current network latency rate and the current packet loss rate, and the aforementioned preset network data may include the preset network latency rate and the preset packet loss rate. In response to determining that the current network latency rate is greater than the preset network latency rate or the current packet loss rate is greater than the preset packet loss rate, the monitoring server may determine that the current network of the target warehouse does not support video transmission.

[0095] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the aforementioned current network data may further include the current bandwidth usage percentage and the current number of concurrent requests. The aforementioned preset network data may further include a preset correspondence table between bandwidth usage percentage and concurrent request threshold. In response to determining that the current network latency rate is not greater than the preset network latency rate and the current packet loss rate is not greater than the preset packet loss rate, the monitoring server can determine the concurrent request threshold corresponding to the current bandwidth usage percentage from the aforementioned correspondence table. In response to determining that the current number of concurrent requests is greater than the determined concurrent request threshold, the monitoring server can determine that the current network of the target warehouse does not support video transmission.

[0096] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the monitoring server can determine that the target warehouse's current network supports video transmission in response to determining that the current number of concurrent requests is not greater than the determined concurrent request threshold.

[0097] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, in response to determining that the current network of the target warehouse does not support video transmission, the monitoring server may send a prompt message indicating current network congestion to the client.

[0098] Step 604: In response to determining that the network of the target warehouse currently supports video transmission, the monitoring server sends the video acquisition request to the video server located in the target warehouse.

[0099] In this embodiment, in response to determining that the network of the target warehouse currently supports video transmission, the monitoring server can send the video acquisition request to the video server located in the target warehouse via a wired or wireless connection.

[0100] Step 605: The video server located in the target warehouse returns the video indicated by the video acquisition request to the monitoring server.

[0101] In this embodiment, the video server located in the target warehouse can return the video indicated by the video acquisition request to the monitoring server via a wired or wireless connection.

[0102] Step 606: The monitoring server sends the video to the client.

[0103] In this embodiment, the monitoring server can send the aforementioned video to the client.

[0104] It should be noted that the specific operations of steps 601-606 above are basically the same as those of steps 201-204, and will not be repeated here.

[0105] The information transmission system provided in the above embodiments of this application, after receiving a video acquisition request containing a warehouse identifier from the client, the monitoring server queries the current network data and preset network data of the warehouse indicated by the target warehouse identifier. Then, based on the comparison between the current network data and the preset network data, the monitoring server determines whether the current network of the target warehouse supports video transmission. Subsequently, in response to determining that the current network of the target warehouse supports video transmission, the monitoring server sends the video acquisition request to the video server. Finally, the video returned by the video server is sent to the client. Thus, the video transmission and access of the warehouse can be dynamically controlled based on the current network status of the warehouse, so as to ensure that video traffic does not affect the normal business operation and improve the flexibility of data interaction.
