[0031] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] During browser operation, web pages (referred to as services in this invention, hereinafter collectively referred to as services) cannot communicate with each other due to their different domains. Services (web pages in this invention) are developed by different developers, and their input and output parameters are custom-defined. Even with the same programming language and naming conventions, the same business meaning can be expressed using different variable names. Therefore, this invention provides a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for inter-service communication. Based on the output parameters of a first service running in the browser and a preset service matching mapping table, a second service matching the output parameters of the first service is determined from the service matching mapping table, and the second service is recommended. This enables communication between different services running in the browser, solving the problem of communication barriers between different services running in the browser.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of an inter-service communication method provided in one embodiment of this application. This embodiment uses the method applied to a browser as an example. The inter-service communication method includes:

[0036] S20. Obtain the output parameters of the first service; the first service is a service currently running on the browser.

[0037] In this step, before the browser runs, users can click on a link in the browser or other electronic devices to jump to or directly open a webpage, and enter information on the webpage according to different business needs. In this way, the browser can obtain the output parameters of the first service at runtime. At this time, the first service is the service currently running in the browser.

[0038] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the output parameters of the first service includes: providing the first service in the form of a first webpage; receiving first input information input in the first service, so that the first service outputs first service information based on the first input information; and obtaining the output parameters of the first service based on the first service information.

[0039] Based on the first service information, all output parameters of the first service can be obtained. To improve service matching efficiency and targeting, in some embodiments, obtaining the output parameters of the first service based on the first service information includes: obtaining key output parameters from the output parameters of the first service based on the first service information.

[0040] Specifically, the service is displayed in the browser as a webpage. During runtime, the browser receives initial input information from the user within the first service and outputs first service information based on this information. This service information includes the service's business data. Based on this first service information, the browser can obtain key output parameter fields from the first service's output parameters. For example, a user opens a webpage in the browser via a link. The webpage content is service A, which provides a service for querying personal information. The user inputs their personal information into the webpage. Based on the business needs of service A, the browser needs to obtain the output parameters of service A. Thus, during runtime, the browser can obtain the output parameters of service A based on the information input by the user.

[0041] S40. Based on the output parameters of the first service and a preset service matching mapping table, determine a second service that matches the output parameters of the first service from the service matching mapping table.

[0042] Specifically, after obtaining the output parameters of the first service, the browser iterates through the output parameters of the first service, parses a preset service matching mapping table, and matches key input parameters from the service matching mapping table that match the key output parameters of the first service to determine the second service. It should be noted that the second service can be one or more; this embodiment only describes one second service. For example, service A provides users with personal information queries. Because of the business needs of service A, it needs to recommend other services based on the output parameters of service A, such as weather recommendations. Therefore, based on the output parameters of service A and the preset service matching mapping table, it queries the mapping table for service B that matches the output parameters of service A. Service B is weather.

[0043] S60. Recommend a second service so that the second service runs with the output parameters of the first service as input parameters and outputs service information.

[0044] Specifically, after finding a second service that matches the output parameters of the first service, the second service is recommended, so that the browser can use the output parameters of the first service as the input parameters of the second service to run the second service and display the information of the second service on the webpage.

[0045] The inter-service communication method of this invention can determine a second service that matches the output parameters of the first service based on the output parameters of a first service running on a browser and a preset service matching mapping table, thereby recommending the second service. This enables communication between different services running on a browser and solves the problem that different services running on a browser cannot communicate.

[0046] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining a second service that matches the output parameters of the first service from the service matching mapping table based on the output parameters of the first service and a preset service matching mapping table (step S40) includes:

[0047] S401. Determine whether the first output parameter of the first service exists in the service matching mapping table. If the first output parameter of the first service exists in the service matching mapping table, then proceed to step S402.

[0048] S402. Determine the first input parameter corresponding to the first output parameter from the service matching mapping table.

[0049] S403. Based on the first input parameter, determine the second service applicable to the first input parameter from the service matching mapping table.

[0050] Specifically, when performing key parameter matching using the service matching mapping table provided in this embodiment of the invention, the matching process can be divided into precise matching and fuzzy matching based on different key fields and the content of the service matching mapping table. When the first output parameter of the first service exists in the service matching mapping table, precise matching is performed. When the first output parameter of the first service does not exist in the service matching mapping table, fuzzy matching is performed by filtering through constraint conditions.

[0051] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the service matching mapping table includes a dictionary table and a relationship mapping table;

[0052] The step of determining whether the first output parameter of the first service exists in the preset service matching mapping table (step S401) includes: determining whether the first output parameter of the first service exists in the dictionary table; the dictionary table includes two or more dictionary entries, each dictionary entry includes an entry identifier, a key parameter field name, and a service identifier to which the key parameter applies.

[0053] Determining the first input parameter corresponding to the first output parameter from the service matching mapping table (step S402) includes: determining the identifier of the first dictionary entry to which the first output parameter belongs; determining the identifier of the second dictionary entry corresponding to the first dictionary entry from the relation mapping table; and determining the first input parameter in the second dictionary entry from the dictionary table based on the second dictionary entry identifier.

[0054] The step of determining the second service applicable to the first input parameter from the service matching mapping table based on the first input parameter (step S403) includes: determining the dictionary entry to which the first input parameter belongs in the dictionary table; and determining the second service applicable to the first input parameter in the dictionary entry to which the first input parameter belongs.

[0055] For details, please refer to Figure 2a , Figure 2b As shown in the table below, the service matching mapping table provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a dictionary table (see...). Figure 2a ) and relational mapping table ( Figure 2b The dictionary table has two or more dictionary entries. Each dictionary entry includes an entry identifier, a key parameter field name, a service identifier to which the key parameter applies, the content type described by the key parameter field, and the key parameter type. The content described by the key parameter field includes: string, number, file, etc., as well as auxiliary fields. The auxiliary fields include length (describes the length of the string if it is a string), min (describes the minimum value if it is a number), and max (describes the maximum value if it is a number). The relation mapping table has two or more relation entries. Each relation entry includes an entry identifier, an output parameter key field, and an input parameter key field, as shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0056] Table 1

[0057]

[0058] Table 2

[0059]

[0060]

[0061] In this embodiment, during precise matching, since it is determined that the key output parameter in the output parameters of the first service obtained by the browser exists in the dictionary table, the identifier of the first dictionary entry to which the key output parameter belongs is determined based on the dictionary content. From the relational mapping table, the identifier of the second dictionary entry corresponding to the identifier of the first dictionary entry is determined. Based on the identifier of the second dictionary entry, the first input parameter in the second dictionary entry is determined according to the mapping relationship of the dictionary table. Here, the first input parameter is the input parameter of the second service. Based on the mapping, the dictionary entry to which the first input parameter belongs is determined. Based on the content of the dictionary entry to which the first input parameter belongs, the second service to which the first input parameter applies is queried. For example, when the browser runs, it obtains the output parameters of service A. By parsing the service matching mapping table, it finds that the output parameters of service A (e.g., location) exist in the dictionary table. Based on the mapping relationship of the dictionary table, the input parameter (e.g., city) corresponding to the output parameters of service A is found. Based on the input parameter (e.g., city), the corresponding service B is queried.

[0062] Specifically, the above embodiments are the operation steps of the service matching mapping table provided by the present invention when performing precise matching. Only part of the dictionary table is used, while the other part is used for fuzzy matching. It should be noted that precise matching is performed by the name of the parameter field, while fuzzy matching is performed by the type of the parameter field.

[0063] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, determining a second service that matches the output parameters of the first service from the service matching mapping table based on the output parameters of the first service and a preset service matching mapping table includes:

[0064] Determine whether the first output parameter of the first service exists in the service matching mapping table;

[0065] If not, then determine the content type described by the key parameter field of the first output parameter from the service matching mapping table;

[0066] From the service matching mapping table, determine the first set of input parameters that are of the same content type as the key parameter fields of the first output parameter;

[0067] Based on preset constraints, the first input parameter corresponding to the first output parameter is selected from the first input parameter set;

[0068] Based on the first input parameter, a second service applicable to the first input parameter is determined from the service matching mapping table.

[0069] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the service matching mapping table includes a dictionary table and a relationship mapping table;

[0070] The step of determining whether the first output parameter of the first service exists in the service matching mapping table includes: determining whether the first output parameter of the first service exists in the dictionary table; the dictionary table includes two or more dictionary entries, each dictionary entry includes an entry identifier, a key parameter field name, a service identifier to which the key parameter applies, a content type described by the key parameter field, and an auxiliary field;

[0071] If so, then determine the content type described by the key parameter field of the first output parameter from the service matching mapping table, including: if so, determine the content type described by the key parameter field of the first output parameter from the dictionary table entry to which the first output parameter belongs;

[0072] Determining the first set of input parameters from the service matching mapping table that has the same content type as the key parameter field of the first output parameter includes: determining the first set of input parameters from the dictionary table that has the same content type as the key parameter field of the first output parameter;

[0073] The step of filtering out the first input parameter corresponding to the first output parameter from the first input parameter set based on preset constraints includes: filtering according to the auxiliary field to filter out the first input parameter corresponding to the first output parameter that satisfies the preset constraints from the first input parameter set;

[0074] The step of determining the second service applicable to the first input parameter from the service matching mapping table based on the first input parameter includes: determining the dictionary entry to which the first input parameter belongs in the dictionary table; and determining the second service applicable to the first input parameter in the dictionary entry to which the first input parameter belongs.

[0075] Specifically, when the first output parameter of the first service does not exist in the service matching mapping table, the content type described by the key parameter field of the first output parameter is determined based on the contents of the dictionary table (e.g., string, number, or file). Based on the content type described by the determined key parameter field, the set of first input parameters with the same content type as the key parameter field is found. Filtering is performed based on auxiliary fields (length, min, max) to select the first input parameters corresponding to the first output parameter that meet preset constraints, namely the dictionary table and the relation mapping table. Based on the selected first input parameters, the second service to which the first input parameter applies is determined from the relation table. For example, when the browser runs, it obtains the output parameter (e.g., age) of service A. By parsing the service matching mapping table, it determines the content type (e.g., Number) described by the key parameter field of the output parameter (e.g., age) of service A. Based on the content type described by the key parameter field of service A, it finds the first set of input parameters that are the same as the content type described by the key parameter field of service A. It then filters the first input parameter (limit_age) that satisfies both the dictionary table and the relational mapping table. Based on the first input parameter (limit_age), it queries the corresponding service D.

[0076] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, recommending a second service, causing the second service to run with the output parameters of the first service as input parameters and output service information, includes:

[0077] The second service is recommended in the form of a second webpage, so that the second service runs the second service with the output parameters of the first service as the input parameters of the second service, and outputs service information on the second webpage interface.

[0078] Specifically, after retrieving the second service from the service matching mapping table, the second service is recommended in the form of a second webpage. This allows the second service to run using the output parameters of the first service as its input parameters, and the service information is displayed on the second webpage interface. For example, if a user enters user information on the first webpage, the browser determines the second service using the method provided in this embodiment of the invention. The second service runs using the output parameters of the first service as its input parameters. After determining the second service, it is recommended to the user in the form of a second webpage, and the service information is displayed on the second webpage interface.

[0079] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, after recommending a second service so that the second service runs the second service with the output parameters of the first service as the input parameters of the second service and outputs service information, the inter-service communication method further includes: updating the service matching mapping table.

[0080] In practical implementation, a platform can be built for developers and internal operations before the browser initiates inter-service communication. Developers and operations personnel can manage and maintain the service matching mapping table through this platform. This service matching mapping table is used to match input and output parameters between different services, ensuring that the output parameters of service A can be recognized by service B. Before using the service matching mapping table for parameter matching, developers and operations personnel enter information into the table to enrich its content, i.e., to store the business data of web service input and output. Simultaneously, the platform is used to update and maintain the mapping table.

[0081] Specifically, the service matching mapping table is constantly updated. Both service developers and platform operators can trigger updates to the service matching mapping table. When updating the service matching mapping table, a combination of push and pull methods can be used to update the service matching mapping table that already exists in the browser. The push method is a long-lived connection update, which means that when there is an update in the cloud, the browser automatically triggers and downloads the updated mapping table file through a long connection. The pull method is a periodic check for updates during service runtime. That is, the browser automatically checks the status when the service is running, and if there is an update, it downloads the updated mapping table file.

[0082] This invention provides a method for inter-service communication. The method involves obtaining the output parameters of a first service; determining a second service that matches the output parameters of the first service from the service matching mapping table based on the output parameters of the first service and a preset service matching mapping table; recommending the second service so that the second service uses the output parameters of the first service as its input parameters and outputs service information. This method, using key field matching, ensures that the input and output parameters between services match, thus solving the problem of mismatched input and output parameters between services and enabling communication between services after parameter matching.
