[0059] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings.

[0060] It should be noted that the implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0061] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-described drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily have to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. It should also be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data for display, analyzed data, etc.) involved in the present disclosure are all information and data authorized by the user or authorized by all parties.

[0062] The resource scheduling method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied in an application environment as shown in Figure 1 . Wherein, the terminal 102 communicates with the server 104 through the network, and the server 104 can be a server carrying a business platform, which can record the resource consumption of each account using the business platform, and the total resource consumption of the business platform. Wherein, the terminal 102 can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, notebook computers, smart phones, tablet computers, Internet of Things devices, and portable wearable devices. The Internet of Things device can be a smart speaker, a smart TV, a smart air conditioner, a smart vehicle device, etc. The portable wearable device can be a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a head-mounted device, etc. The server 104 can be implemented by an independent server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers.

[0063] In the application scenario of the present disclosure, the server 104 can record the resource consumption data of each account and the resource consumption data of the business platform in real time. The terminal 102 can obtain, in response to a resource scheduling request for multiple accounts, the resource consumption data of the business platform in a current time period from the server 104 as first resource consumption information, and obtain the resource consumption data of each account as second resource consumption information. According to the first resource consumption information and the second resource consumption information of each account, the total resource consumption of each account in a next time period of the current time period is predicted. Finally, the idle resources of the business platform can be allocated to each account in the next time period based on the total resource consumption of each account, which can improve the utilization rate of idle resources and reduce the waste of resources.

[0064] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a resource scheduling method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in Figure 2 , the method is applied to the terminal 102 in Figure 1 for example, and includes the following steps:

[0065] In step S210, in response to a resource scheduling request for multiple accounts, first resource consumption information of a business platform in a current time period and second resource consumption information of multiple accounts are obtained. The first resource consumption information is used to determine the idle degree of resources of the business platform in multiple time periods in the current time period, and the second resource consumption information is used to determine the resource consumption amount of each account in multiple time periods in the current time period.

[0066] Wherein, the account refers to an account for live streaming on the business platform.

[0067] Wherein, the current time period can include one time period, or multiple time periods. One time period can be one day, i.e. from 0 o'clock to 24 o'clock, or one week, one month, which can be determined according to actual conditions. If the current time period includes multiple time periods, the total resource consumption of each account in each time period is calculated, and finally the idle resources are allocated to each account based on the total resource consumption of each account in each time period according to a preset allocation method. For ease of explanation, the following content is described by taking the current time period as one time period as an example.

[0068] Wherein, the resource in the resource consumption information refers to technical resources provided by the business platform, which can be CDN bandwidth (Content Delivery Network) resources, or live streaming transcoding resources.

[0069] Specifically, taking one day as an example for a time period, the terminal 102 obtains the first resource consumption information of the service platform and the second resource consumption information of each account within one or more days from the server 104 in response to the resource scheduling request for multiple accounts, so as to predict the total resource consumption of each account in the next time period of the current time period according to the first resource consumption information that can be used to determine the resource idle degree of multiple time periods in the current time period, and the second resource consumption information that can be used to determine the resource consumption of each account in multiple time periods in the current time period.

[0070] In step S220, the total resource consumption of each account in the next time period of the current time period is predicted according to the first resource consumption information of the service platform and the second resource consumption information of each account.

[0071] In a specific implementation, since the total resource consumption of each account is the basis for the idle resource allocation of the service platform to each account in the next time period, in order to ensure the rationality of the allocation, in addition to the resource consumption of each account itself, the resource idle condition of the service platform also needs to be considered when determining the total resource consumption of each account, and the resource consumption of each account in different time periods is different, and the resource idle degree of the service platform in different time periods is also different, therefore, in the process of predicting the total resource consumption of each account in the next time period of the current time period, the resource consumption of each account in each time period in the current time period needs to be determined on the basis of the resource consumption of each account in each time period in the current time period, and the first resource consumption information that can be used to determine the resource idle degree of the service platform in different time periods is combined to determine the total resource consumption of each account in the current time period, which corresponds to the total resource consumption of each account in the next time period.

[0072] In step S230, the idle resource of the service platform is allocated to each account in the next time period based on the total resource consumption of each account.

[0073] In a specific implementation, based on the total resource consumption of each account, the priority of each account to obtain resources can be determined, and the idle resource allocation can be performed on each account in the order from high to low priority. Specifically, the allocation method can be: allocating resources to accounts with high priority, not allocating resources to accounts with low priority, or allocating more resources to accounts with high priority and less resources to accounts with low priority, which is not limited in the present application and can be determined according to actual needs.

[0074] In the resource scheduling method, in response to the resource scheduling request for the plurality of accounts, after obtaining the first resource consumption information that can be used to determine the resource idle degree of the plurality of time periods in the current time period, and the second resource consumption information that can be used to determine the resource consumption amount of each account in the plurality of time periods in the current time period, the total resource consumption amount of each account in the next time period of the current time period is predicted based on the first resource consumption information and the second resource consumption information, and the idle resources of the service platform in the next time period are allocated to each account based on the total resource consumption amount of each account. The method uses the total resource consumption amount of each account in the current time period to allocate the idle resources of the service platform, which can improve the utilization rate of the idle resources and reduce the waste of resources. Meanwhile, when determining the total resource consumption amount of each account, the peak and valley characteristics of the live streaming service and the different resource idle degrees of each time period are considered, and the first resource consumption information used to determine the resource idle degree of each time period is combined to determine the total resource consumption amount of each account, which can improve the accuracy of the determined total resource consumption amount and thus improve the rationality of the idle resource scheduling of the service platform.

[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, in step S220, the total resource consumption amount of each account in the next time period of the current time period is predicted according to the first resource consumption information of the service platform and the second resource consumption information of each account, which can be achieved by the following steps:

[0076] In step S221, the amplification coefficient corresponding to each time period in the current time period is determined according to the first resource consumption information of the service platform; the amplification coefficient is used to represent the resource idle degree of the service platform in each time period.

[0077] The amplification coefficient is negatively correlated with the resource idle degree, and the smaller the amplification coefficient is, the higher the resource idle degree is. Each time period can have a corresponding amplification coefficient, and the time period can be a minute or an hour, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0078] In a specific implementation, the current time period can be divided into a plurality of time periods according to the preset time length of each time period, for example, taking one day as the current time period, and setting the time length of each time period as 6 hours, the current time period can be divided into 0-6 o'clock, 6-12 o'clock, 12-18 o'clock, 18-24 o'clock, etc. The resource consumption amount of each time period and the target resource consumption amount in the current time period are determined from the first resource consumption information of the service platform. The amplification coefficient corresponding to each time period is determined according to the resource consumption amount of each time period and the target resource consumption amount in the current time period.

[0079] In step S222, the resource consumption amount of each account in each time period is determined according to the second resource consumption information of each account.

[0080] In specific implementation, the resource consumption amount of the account in each time period can be the average value or the median value of the resource consumption amount of the account in the time period. Since the resource consumption mode of the account in a time period is mostly continuous consumption, i.e., the resource is consumed at multiple time points in the time period, the resource consumption amount of each account at all time points in each time period can be determined according to the second resource consumption information of each account, and then the average value or the median value of the resource consumption amount at each time point in each time period is calculated as the resource consumption amount of each time period.

[0081] In step S223, for each account, the total resource consumption amount of the account in the current time period is obtained based on the resource consumption amount of the account in each time period and the amplification coefficient corresponding to each time period, which corresponds to the total resource consumption amount of the account in the next time period of the current time period.

[0082] The total resource consumption amount is used to represent the consumption degree of the account to the resources of the service platform.

[0083] In specific implementation, since the live broadcast service has peak and off-peak periods, the resources consumed by the same anchor in different time periods are different, and the idle condition of the resources of the service platform is also different in different time periods, so the total resource consumption amount of the same account in different time periods needs to be treated differently. When determining the total resource consumption amount of the account in the current time period, the total resource consumption amount of the account in each time period can be first determined based on the resource consumption amount of the account in each time period and the amplification coefficient corresponding to each time period, and then the total resource consumption amount of the account in the current time period is obtained based on the total resource consumption amount of each time period.

[0084] In this embodiment, when determining the total resource consumption amount of each account, the total resource consumption amount of each account in different time periods is treated differently, the amplification coefficient is combined to determine the total resource consumption amount of each account, considering the peak and off-peak characteristics of the live broadcast service and the different idle degrees of the resources in each time period, which can improve the accuracy of the determined total resource consumption amount, thereby improving the rationality of the idle resource scheduling of the service platform.

[0085] In an exemplary embodiment, in step S221, the amplification coefficients corresponding to the multiple time periods in the current time period can be determined according to the first resource consumption information of the service platform, which can be implemented by the following steps:

[0086] In step S221A, according to the first resource consumption information of the service platform, the resource consumption amount of each time period and the target resource consumption amount in the resource consumption amount of each time period are determined; the target resource consumption amount is greater than other resource consumption amounts in the resource consumption amount of each time period;

[0087] In step S221B, based on the resource consumption amount of each time period and the target resource consumption amount, the amplification coefficient corresponding to each time period is obtained.

[0088] In a specific implementation, since the amplification coefficient is used to represent the resource idle degree of each time period, and the resource idle degree is determined relative to the resource consumption peak period, therefore, the determination of the amplification coefficient can be determined by the resource consumption amount of each time period in the current time period and the resource consumption amount of the resource consumption peak period.

[0089] More specifically, according to the first resource consumption information of the service platform, the resource consumption amount of each time point in each time period can be determined first, and for any time period, the average or median value of the resource consumption amount of each time point in the time period is taken as the resource consumption amount of the time period. Further, according to the numerical value of the resource consumption amount, the target resource consumption amount, i.e. the target resource consumption amount, is determined from the resource consumption amount of each time period, as the resource consumption amount of the resource consumption peak period. Finally, based on the resource consumption amount of each time period and the target resource consumption amount, the amplification coefficient corresponding to each time period is obtained.

[0090] Further, in an embodiment, the implementation manner of step S221B can be: for each time period, the ratio between the resource consumption amount of the time period and the target resource consumption amount is obtained as the amplification coefficient corresponding to the time period.

[0091] In the above embodiment, by calculating the ratio between the resource consumption amount of each time period and the target resource consumption amount in the resource consumption amount of each time period as the amplification coefficient corresponding to each time period, the resource idle situation of each time period relative to the resource consumption peak period is represented by the amplification coefficient, so that the total resource consumption amount of each account using the idle resources of each time period can be determined according to the amplification coefficient subsequently.

[0092] In an exemplary embodiment, in the above step S223, based on the resource consumption amount of each account in each time period and the amplification coefficient corresponding to each time period, the total resource consumption amount of the account in the current time period is obtained, which can be implemented by the following steps:

[0093] In step S223A, based on the resource consumption amount of each account in each time period and the amplification coefficient corresponding to each time period, the total resource consumption amount of the account in each time period is obtained.

[0094] Step S223B, summing up the resource consumption amount of each time period to obtain the total resource consumption amount of the account in the current time period.

[0095] In a specific implementation, for each time period, the resource consumption amount of the account in the time period is multiplied by the amplification factor corresponding to the time period to obtain the total resource consumption amount of the account in the time period, and the total resource consumption amounts of the account in each time period are further added to obtain the total resource consumption amount of the account in the current time period.

[0096] In this embodiment, considering the influence of the peak and off-peak periods of the live streaming service on resource consumption, the total resource consumption amount of each time period is first calculated, and then the total resource consumption amount of the account in the entire current time period is determined based on the total resource consumption amounts of the time periods. This method of separately calculating the total resource consumption amounts of different time periods can improve the accuracy of the determined total resource consumption amount.

[0097] In an exemplary embodiment, the implementation manner of obtaining the total resource consumption amount of the account in each time period based on the resource consumption amount of the account in each time period and the amplification factor corresponding to each time period in step S223A further includes:

[0098] Based on the resource usage demand of each time period, control parameters of the time periods are determined; the control parameters are used to control the resource consumption amount of the service platform in each time period to be within the resource consumption amount of the resource usage peak period.

[0099] Based on the resource consumption amount of the account in each time period, the amplification factor corresponding to each time period, and the control parameters of each time period, the total resource consumption amount of the account in each time period is obtained.

[0100] The control parameters are used to control the resource consumption amount of the service platform in each time period to be within the resource consumption amount of the peak period.

[0101] It can be understood that in addition to the live streaming service, the service platform can also have some other services, that is, the resources of each time period can also be provided to other services in addition to the accounts, and therefore, when determining the total resource consumption amount of the account in each time period, the resource usage demand of other services in each time period also needs to be considered to avoid the idle resources of a time period being simultaneously used by other services and accounts to form a new resource consumption peak when the resource usage demand of other services is not considered.

[0102] In a specific implementation, the control parameter of each time period can be determined based on the resource usage demand of other services in each time period. Specifically, the control parameter of each time period can be determined according to a positive correlation between the control parameter and the resource usage demand of other services, that is, the greater the resource usage demand of other services in a time period, the greater the control parameter corresponding to the time period.

[0103] For example, there are four time periods: 0-t1, t1-t2, t2-t3, and t3-t4. It is known that some resources need to be reserved for other services in the time period t1-t2, so the traffic in the time period t1-t2 needs to be controlled not to rise too much. The control parameter A can be set as follows: 0-t1, t2-t3, and t3-t4 have no resource usage demand of other services, so the control parameter can be set to be small, for example, all set to 1. The time period t1-t2 has resource usage demand of other services, so the control parameter needs to be adjusted accordingly, for example, set to 10.

[0104]

[0105] After determining the service usage demand of each time period, the total resource consumption of the account in each time period can be obtained based on the resource consumption of the account in each time period, the amplification coefficient corresponding to each time period, and the control parameter of each time period.

[0106] Further, in an example embodiment, the implementation of obtaining the total resource consumption of the account in each time period based on the resource consumption of the account in each time period, the amplification coefficient corresponding to each time period, and the control parameter of each time period can be that, for each time period, the amplification coefficient corresponding to the time period, the control parameter, and the resource consumption of the account in the time period are multiplied to obtain the total resource consumption of the account in the time period.

[0107] In the above embodiment, considering that other services also have resource usage demand in each time period, the disclosure provides that the control parameter of each time period is determined based on the resource usage demand in each time period, and the resource consumption in each time period is controlled within the resource consumption in the peak period through the control parameter, so as to avoid that, when the resource usage demand of other services is not considered, the idle resources of a time period are simultaneously used by other services and the account, forming a new resource consumption peak.

[0108] In an example embodiment, in the step S230, based on the total resource consumption of each account, the idle resources of the service platform are allocated to each account in the next time period, including:

[0109] In step S231, based on the total resource consumption of each account, the priority of each account to obtain resources is determined.

[0110] In step S232, the idle resources of the service platform are allocated to the accounts according to the priority of the accounts to obtain resources in the next time period.

[0111] In a specific implementation, the priority of the accounts to obtain resources can be determined based on the total resource consumption of the accounts, with the condition that the total resource consumption is negatively correlated with the priority, that is, the higher the total resource consumption of an account, the lower the priority of the account to obtain resources, and vice versa. After the priority of the accounts to obtain resources is determined, the idle resources of the service platform can be allocated to the accounts in descending order of the priority.

[0112] For example, if the total resource consumption of account A is higher than that of account B, it can be determined that the priority of account B to obtain resources is higher than that of account A, and if the idle resources of the service platform in the next time period can only meet the demand of one account, account B can obtain the resources first.

[0113] In this embodiment, the priority of the accounts to obtain resources is determined based on the total resource consumption of the accounts, and then the resources are allocated to the accounts according to the priority, which can control the resource consumption in each time period to be less than that in the peak time period, and effectively schedule the idle resources of the service platform.

[0114] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, which is a flowchart of a resource scheduling method according to another embodiment, the method includes the following steps: Figure 3

[0115] In step S310, first resource consumption information of the service platform and second resource consumption information of a plurality of accounts in a current time period are obtained.

[0116] In step S320, the resource consumption in each time period and the maximum resource consumption in the resource consumption in each time period are determined according to the first resource consumption information of the service platform.

[0117] In step S330, for each time period, a ratio between the resource consumption in the time period and a target resource consumption is obtained as an amplification coefficient corresponding to the time period. The amplification coefficient is used to represent the idle degree of resources in each time period.

[0118] In step S340, the resource consumption of each account in each time period of the plurality of time periods is determined according to the second resource consumption information of each account.

[0119] In step S350, the control parameters of each time period are determined based on the resource usage demand of each time period. ​

[0120] Step S360: For each account, based on the account's resource consumption in each time period, the amplification factor corresponding to each time period, and the control parameters of each time period, obtain the total resource consumption of the account in each time period.

[0121] Step S370: Sum the total resource consumption for each time period to obtain the total resource consumption of the account in the current time period.

[0122] Step S380: Determine the priority of each account in obtaining resources based on the total resource consumption of each account;

[0123] Step S390: Based on the priority of each account in obtaining resources, allocate idle resources of the business platform to each account in the next time period.

[0124] The resource scheduling method provided in this embodiment uses the total resource consumption of each account within the current time period to allocate idle resources on the business platform. This can improve the utilization rate of idle resources and reduce resource waste. At the same time, when determining the total resource consumption of each account, the peak and off-peak characteristics of the live streaming business and the different levels of resource idleness in each time period are taken into consideration. The total resource consumption of each account in different time periods is treated differently, and the total resource consumption of each account is determined by combining an amplification factor. This can improve the accuracy of the determined total resource consumption, thereby improving the rationality of the scheduling of idle resources on the business platform.

[0125] In an exemplary embodiment, specific examples will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this disclosure by those skilled in the art.

[0126] refer to Figure 4 This is a waveform comparison of resource usage on a service platform before and after utilizing its idle resources, as illustrated in one embodiment. Figure 4 (a) is a waveform diagram of resource usage of the business platform before utilizing idle resources. Figure 4 (b) is a waveform diagram of resource usage for account M. Figure 4 (c) is a waveform diagram of resource usage for account N. Figure 4 (d) is a waveform diagram of resource usage on the business platform after the anchor account N uses idle resources.

[0127] The figure uses the current time period as an example, which includes four time periods: 0-t1, t1-t2, t2-t3, and t3-t4. Let the resource consumption of the business platform in each time period be C(i), where i represents the time period, and the target resource consumption be Cmax. From the figure, we can see that C(1) = a1, C(2) = a2, C(3) = a3, C(4) = a4, and Cmax = a3. Then, the amplification coefficient r for each time period can be calculated as follows:

[0128] r(1)=C(1) / C max=a1 / a3, r(2)=C(2) / C max=a2 / a3,

[0129] r(3)=C(3) / C max=a3 / a3, r(4)=C(4) / C max=a4 / a3.

[0130] The control parameters for each time period are as follows:

[0131]

[0132] The resource usage waveform of account M in the figure shows that the resource consumption of account M in each time period is as follows: b1, b2, b3, b4. Therefore, the total resource consumption of account M is:

[0133]

[0134] The resource usage waveform of account N in the figure shows that the resource consumption of account N in each time period is c1, c2, c3, and c4, respectively. Therefore, the total resource consumption of account N is:

[0135]

[0136] Assuming that the total resource consumption of account M is higher than that of account N, then account M will have a lower priority in obtaining resources than account N. If the idle resources of the business platform can only satisfy one account, then account N will have priority in obtaining resources. By overlaying the resource usage waveform of account N with the resource usage waveform of the business platform, it can be seen that the idle resources of the business platform are utilized by account N to varying degrees in different time periods, but only a small increase in cost is added. This confirms the effectiveness of the method proposed in this disclosure.
