Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for determining a reference time. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many self-media devices are composed of multiple separate components, such as a photo wall made of multiple smart photo frames. The start-up time and progress of these separate components are often inconsistent during the operation process, which makes it difficult for the overall display effect of the self-media device to meet expectations. A common approach is to allocate a single start-up time for all the separate components.

[0003] However, once manufacturers sell a certain number of self-media devices, a large number of devices will start up simultaneously. Each time a task is executed, a request is made to the cloud, leading to peak access to the cloud. This peak access may be identified as an attack by the cloud and blocked by the firewall, causing the request to fail. Even if the firewall is bypassed through some means, there will still be periodic peak access to the cloud server. During these peak access times, more server resources are needed, and to solve the peak access problem, additional server resources must be added. Summary of the Invention

[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining a reference time according to an embodiment of this application. The method includes:

[0043] Step S110: Obtain identification information.

[0044] This application's embodiments can be applied to self-media devices. In this embodiment, the identification information can be the device's identity information, such as a factory serial number, a registration number assigned after registration on a cloud platform, or a number bound to the user's identity information. Each piece of identification information is unique.

[0045] Step S120: Generate a target reference time based on the identification information; the target reference time can be any time.

[0046] In this embodiment, a target base time can be generated through a trigger mechanism. For example, a target base time can be generated based on identification information when a user creates an account, binds their first device, or uses a specific function for the first time. It should be noted that the target base time can be any time of day, specifically accurate to milliseconds.

[0047] In some embodiments, generating a target reference time based on identification information includes:

[0048] Receive at least one pre-allocated time-limited interval;

[0049] Upon obtaining the identification information, a target reference time is generated; the target reference time can be any moment within the time limit interval.

[0050] In this embodiment, based on the country, region, time zone, or local area network where the device is located, at least one time restriction interval can be pre-assigned to different identification information. The target reference time generated based on the identification information can only be within the time restriction interval. Here, the length of the time restriction interval can be 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or even 1 hour or 2 hours; the specific duration is not limited.

[0051] In one optional embodiment, taking time zones as an example, device 1 corresponding to identification information 1 is located in the East 8 time zone, and device 2 corresponding to identification information 2 is located in the West 8 time zone. A time limit interval can be pre-assigned to device 1 in the East 8 time zone, such as 0:0:0:000 to 0:10:0:0000, and a time limit interval can be pre-assigned to device 2 in the West 8 time zone, such as 8:0:0:000 to 8:10:0:0000. Thus, the target base time corresponding to device 1 and device 2 are located in different time intervals, so when device 1 and device 2 need to make requests to the cloud, access peaks can be avoided, reducing the demand on server resources.

[0052] In one alternative embodiment, receiving at least one pre-allocated time limit interval includes receiving a plurality of pre-allocated time limit intervals.

[0053] In this embodiment, multiple time limit intervals can be pre-assigned to some identification information, and the target reference time generated based on the identification information can be located in any of these multiple time limit intervals.

[0054] Continuing with the time zone example, device 1 (identifier 1) is located in the East 8 time zone, and device 2 (identifier 2) is located in the West 8 time zone. Two different time limit intervals can be pre-assigned to device 1 in the East 8 time zone, such as 0:0:0:000~0:10:0:0000 and 8:0:0:000~8:10:0:0000. One time limit interval can be assigned to device 2 in the West 8 time zone, such as 8:0:0:000~8:10:0:0000. Therefore, when device 2 in the West 8 time zone experiences low access, device 1 in the East 8 time zone can generate the target base time within the two different time limit intervals, avoiding access peaks and reducing the demand on server resources. When device 2 in the West 8 time zone experiences high access, device 1 in the East 8 time zone only generates the target base time within the 0:0:0:000~0:10:0:0000 interval, achieving off-peak access. It should be noted that Device 1 and Device 2 can represent multiple devices respectively. In the example above, they are only used to distinguish devices located in different time zones.

[0055] In some embodiments, generating a target reference time based on identification information includes:

[0056] Receive multiple pre-allocated time-limited intervals;

[0057] Periodically obtain the number of target reference times generated within each time limit interval;

[0058] If the number of target reference times generated within the first time limit interval is greater than the first threshold, then target reference times are generated within the second time limit interval; if the number of target reference times generated within the second time limit interval is less than the first threshold; the first time limit interval and the second time limit interval are any two time limit intervals among multiple time limit intervals.

[0059] In this embodiment, multiple time-limited intervals are pre-assigned to some identification information. Once the target reference time corresponding to the identification information is determined, it will not change for a period of time. By periodically obtaining the number of target reference times generated in each time-limited interval, the probability of access peaks in each time-limited interval can be estimated. Therefore, when the number of target reference times in a time-limited interval is large, target reference times can be generated from other time-limited intervals first.

[0060] For example, taking a first threshold of 500 as an example, when an identifier is assigned to multiple time restriction intervals, if the target reference time generated in the first time restriction interval is 510 and the target reference time generated in the second time restriction interval is 180, then when there are operations such as creating an account, binding the first device, or using a specific function for the first time in the same country, region, or time zone, the target reference time will be generated first from the second time restriction interval.

[0061] In some embodiments, receiving at least one pre-allocated time-limited interval includes:

[0062] Receive the pre-allocated spare time limit interval;

[0063] If the number of target reference times generated in multiple time-limited intervals exceeds the first threshold, then a target reference time is generated in the backup time-limited interval.

[0064] In this embodiment, the regular time-limited interval has a higher priority than the backup time-limited interval. Target base times are generated only within the backup time-limited interval if the number of target base times already generated within the regular time-limited interval exceeds a first threshold. Here, each identifier can correspond to a separate backup time-limited interval, and multiple identifiers can share a single backup time-limited interval. This avoids generating too many target base times within the regular time-limited interval, reducing the probability of access spikes and the demand on server resources.

[0065] Step S130: The target reference time is determined as the reference time of at least one device associated with the identification information.

[0066] In this embodiment, the same identification information can be associated with only one device, or it can be associated with two or more devices simultaneously. Taking the generation of a target base time when a user creates an account as an example, this target base time can be used as the target base time for all devices associated with the created user account. Thus, multiple devices associated with the same identification information can run synchronously, improving the overall display effect of the devices.

[0067] In some embodiments, determining the target reference time as the reference time of at least one device associated with the identification information includes:

[0068] Obtain the working duration of a single cycle of the device;

[0069] Based on the target baseline time and working duration, determine the cycle baseline time for each cycle.

[0070] The target reference time and the cyclic reference time are determined as the reference time of at least one device associated with the identification information.

[0071] Once the target reference time for the equipment is determined, multiple cyclic reference times can be determined based on the operating duration of each cycle. These multiple cyclic reference times allow for the gradual synchronization of at least one device associated with the identification information.

[0072] In some embodiments, the device includes a multimedia device; determining the target reference time as the reference time of at least one device associated with the identification information includes:

[0073] The target reference time is determined as the reference time when at least one multimedia device associated with the identification information begins playing the video.

[0074] Taking the looping playback of a video segment on a multimedia device as an example, once the target reference time for a multimedia device to start playing the video is determined, the reference time for its next video playback can be determined based on the duration required for playback. During this process, when other multimedia devices associated with this multimedia account request to play videos, the determined reference time can be used as their target reference time, thus achieving synchronized operation of multiple devices associated with the same identification information.

[0075] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0076] Based on the target reference time and the duration of playback video in a single cycle of the multimedia device, multiple playback reference times are determined for loop playback.

[0077] For example, when the target base time of a multimedia device associated with the same multimedia account is determined to be 0:30:0:000, assuming that the duration required for playing the video is 30 minutes, the base times for starting to play the video next can be determined as 1:0:0:000, 1:30:0:000, 2:0:0:000, etc. When another multimedia device associated with this multimedia account initiates a request to play the video at 1:05:0:000, 1:30:0:000 can be used as its base time, thereby achieving synchronous operation of the two multimedia devices.

[0078] This application embodiment randomly matches a target reference time for different identification information and determines the target reference time as the reference time of at least one device associated with the same identification information. This ensures that multiple devices associated with the same identification information can run synchronously, improving the overall display effect of the devices, while also avoiding access peaks and reducing the demand on server resources.

[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of a reference time determination device provided in an embodiment of this application; this application provides a reference time determination device 200, including...

[0080] The acquisition module 210 is used to acquire identification information.

[0081] The generation module 220 is used to generate a target reference time based on the identification information; the target reference time can be any time.

[0082] The determination module 230 is used to determine the target reference time as the reference time of at least one device associated with the identification information.

[0083] This application's embodiments can be applied to self-media devices. In this embodiment, the identification information can be the device's identity information, such as a factory serial number, a registration number assigned after registration on a cloud platform, or a number bound to the user's identity information. Each piece of identification information is unique.

[0084] In this embodiment, a target base time can be generated through a trigger mechanism. For example, a target base time can be generated based on identification information when a user creates an account, binds their first device, or uses a specific function for the first time. It should be noted that the target base time can be any time of day, specifically accurate to milliseconds.

[0085] The same identification information can be associated with only one device, or with two or more devices simultaneously. Taking the generation of a target base time when a user creates an account as an example, this target base time can be used as the target base time for all devices associated with the created user account. As a result, multiple devices associated with the same identification information can run synchronously, improving the overall display effect of the devices.

[0086] In some embodiments, the generation module 220 is specifically used for:

[0087] Receive at least one pre-allocated time-limited interval;

[0088] Upon obtaining the identification information, a target reference time is generated; the target reference time can be any moment within the time limit interval.

[0089] In this embodiment, based on the country, region, time zone, or local area network where the device is located, at least one time restriction interval can be pre-assigned to different identification information. The target reference time generated based on the identification information can only be within the time restriction interval. Here, the length of the time restriction interval can be 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or even 1 hour or 2 hours; the specific duration is not limited.

[0090] In one optional embodiment, taking time zones as an example, device 1 corresponding to identification information 1 is located in the East 8 time zone, and device 2 corresponding to identification information 2 is located in the West 8 time zone. A time limit interval can be pre-assigned to device 1 in the East 8 time zone, such as 0:0:0:000 to 0:10:0:0000, and a time limit interval can be pre-assigned to device 2 in the West 8 time zone, such as 8:0:0:000 to 8:10:0:0000. Thus, the target base time corresponding to device 1 and device 2 are located in different time intervals, so when device 1 and device 2 need to make requests to the cloud, access peaks can be avoided, reducing the demand on server resources.

[0091] It should be noted that in this embodiment, multiple time limit intervals can be pre-assigned to some identification information, and the target reference time generated based on the identification information can be located in any of these multiple time limit intervals.

[0092] In some embodiments, the generation module 220 is further configured to:

[0093] Receive multiple pre-allocated time-limited intervals

[0094] Periodically obtain the number of target reference times generated within each time limit interval;

[0095] If the number of target reference times generated within the first time limit interval is greater than the first threshold, then target reference times are generated within the second time limit interval; if the number of target reference times generated within the second time limit interval is less than the first threshold, then the first and second time limit intervals are pre-allocated time limit intervals.

[0096] In this embodiment, multiple time-limited intervals are pre-assigned to some identification information. Once the target reference time corresponding to the identification information is determined, it will not change for a period of time. By periodically obtaining the number of target reference times generated in each time-limited interval, the probability of access peaks in each time-limited interval can be estimated. Therefore, when the number of target reference times in a time-limited interval is large, target reference times can be generated from other time-limited intervals first.

[0097] For example, taking a first threshold of 500 as an example, when an identifier is assigned to multiple time restriction intervals, if the target reference time generated in the first time restriction interval is 510 and the target reference time generated in the second time restriction interval is 180, then when there are operations such as creating an account, binding the first device, or using a specific function for the first time in the same country, region, or time zone, the target reference time will be generated first from the second time restriction interval.

[0098] In some embodiments, the generation module 220 is further configured to:

[0099] Receive the pre-allocated spare time limit interval;

[0100] If the number of target reference times generated in multiple time-limited intervals exceeds the first threshold, then a target reference time is generated in the backup time-limited interval.

[0101] In this embodiment, the regular time-limited interval has a higher priority than the backup time-limited interval. Target base times are generated only within the backup time-limited interval if the number of target base times already generated within the regular time-limited interval exceeds a first threshold. Here, each identifier can correspond to a separate backup time-limited interval, and multiple identifiers can share a single backup time-limited interval. This avoids generating too many target base times within the regular time-limited interval, reducing the probability of access spikes and the demand on server resources.

[0103] Obtain the working duration of a single cycle of the device;

[0104] Based on the target baseline time and working duration, determine the cycle baseline time for each cycle.

[0105] The target reference time and the cyclic reference time are determined as the reference time of at least one device associated with the identification information.

[0106] Once the target reference time for the equipment is determined, multiple cyclic reference times can be determined based on the operating duration of each cycle. These multiple cyclic reference times allow for the gradual synchronization of at least one device associated with the identification information.
