[0002] At present, many hardware states require regular detection by software and acquisition of corresponding operation data, such as regular acquisition of chassis temperature, voltage, positioning light, warning light, firmware version information (Field Replaceable Unit, referred to as FRU), etc. When these states change, corresponding tasks and events need to be triggered. For example, the storage device positioning light needs to be automatically extinguished after a certain period of time, and the sensor regularly monitors the temperature of the chassis FRU. When the temperature exceeds the specified threshold, the corresponding data needs to be checked again after a certain period of time to decide whether to report an alarm to achieve an anti-shake effect.

[0024] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0026] The method embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed in a server device or a similar computing device. Taking running on a server device as an example, Figure 11 is a hardware structure block diagram of a server device of a method for controlling a timed operation according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the server device may include one or more ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the figure) a processor 102 (the processor 102 may include but is not limited to a processing device such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA) and a memory 104 for storing data, wherein the server device may also include a transmission device 106 and an input / output device 108 for communication functions. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 1 The structure shown is only for illustration and does not limit the structure of the above server device. Figure 1 More or fewer components as shown, or with Figure 1 Different configurations are shown.

[0027] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, for example, software programs and modules of application software, such as the computer program corresponding to the control method of the timing operation in the embodiment of the present application. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, that is, to implement the above method. The memory 104 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some examples, the memory 104 may further include a memory remotely arranged relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories can be connected to the server device via a network. Examples of the above-mentioned network include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0028] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. The specific example of the above network may include a wireless network provided by a communication provider of the server device. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a network adapter (Network Interface Controller, referred to as NIC), which can be connected to other network devices through a base station so as to communicate with the Internet. In one example, the transmission device 106 can be a radio frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.

[0029] In this embodiment, a control method for timing operation is provided, which is applied to a timer control device, wherein the timer control device is connected to a timer database, wherein the timer database includes a plurality of timer entities registered by a plurality of objects, wherein the timer entity includes a control logic of the timer. Figure 2 is a flow chart of a control method for timing operation according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0030] Step S202, receiving a timer request sent by a target object, wherein the timer request includes timer requirement information of the target object, and the target object is any object among multiple objects;

[0031] Optionally, this embodiment includes but is not limited to being applied to scenarios where a scheduled task needs to be triggered. The target object includes but is not limited to a hardware device or a software application. That is, the object that needs to execute a scheduled task. For example, in a scenario where it is necessary to obtain the temperature, voltage, positioning light, warning light, and FRU firmware version information of the chassis on a regular basis, the corresponding tasks and events need to be triggered when these states change. For example, the storage device positioning light needs to automatically turn off after being lit for a certain period of time, and the sensor regularly monitors the temperature of the chassis FRU. When it is found that the temperature exceeds the specified threshold, it is necessary to check the corresponding data again after a certain period of time to decide whether to report an alarm to achieve an anti-shake effect, etc. These scenarios all involve regular monitoring of the chassis status.

[0032] Optionally, the timing requirement information sent by the target object (e.g., a software module or a hardware device) includes, but is not limited to, the following information: timing duration, which is the length of time the timer needs to wait, usually expressed in units such as milliseconds, seconds, minutes, etc. Time type, which can be a one-time timing (i.e., triggered only once) or a periodic timing (e.g., triggered every second, every minute, etc., continuously). Trigger event / action, which is the specific operation to be performed when the timer expires, such as sending a signal, executing a function, changing the state, etc. Priority, in a multi-tasking environment, it may be necessary to set the priority of the timer to determine which task is executed first when multiple timers expire at the same time. Identifier / ID, which is used to uniquely identify this timer for easy management and cancellation of the timer. Parameters, in some cases, the event triggered by the timer may require some parameters, which are also specified in the timing requirement information. Cancellation condition, which specifies under what conditions the timer should be canceled, such as a certain state being reached or an event occurring. Error handling, which is how to handle errors that may occur during the timer setting or execution process, such as a retry mechanism, recording an error log, etc. Synchronous / asynchronous, which specifies whether the execution of the timer is synchronous or asynchronous. Asynchronous timers are usually used without blocking the main program flow. Callback function / handler specifies the function or handler to be called when the timer expires. These timer requirement information ensures that the timer structure can be set and executed accurately as required, and also facilitates the management and monitoring of the timer structure. In actual applications, the specific information may vary depending on the application requirements and context.

[0033] Step S204, in response to the timer request, searching a target timer entity matching the target object from a timer database, wherein the target timer entity includes a plurality of logical control services;

[0034] Optionally, the timer database stores timer entities, which include all necessary information to describe and control the timer. Figure 3 As shown, the multiple logic control services included in the controller entity in this embodiment are: timer start service, timer timing service, timer judgment service, timer event service, and timer end service.

[0035] Among them, the timer start service provides a unified interface for starting the timer. The parameters that can be passed to the interface include: the timing duration required by the functional module, the chassis serial number, the data to be recorded (if it is necessary to compare whether the data has changed after a period of time), and the timer type (different timers are distinguished according to different functions or tasks). After calling the interface, the corresponding flag bit of the timer status is set, including: whether the timer is started and whether the specified time has arrived.

[0036] The timer timing service is implemented based on a state machine with a short patrol cycle. If the cycle of the state machine is set to 10 seconds, the system will patrol all types of timers in units of chassis every 10 seconds. If a timer has been started, the timing will be based on the timing duration set when the timer is started, and the corresponding timing will be performed each time it is patrolled. By observing the remaining time of the timer, it is determined whether the timer timing time has ended and whether the timer needs to be cleared; if the timing time is up, the corresponding event logic is triggered and the timer status flag is modified to release the timer.

[0037] The judgment logic service provides two interfaces based on the timer status flag to determine whether the timer has been started and whether the current time has not reached the time set by the timer.

[0038] Event logic service registers the corresponding callback function for each timer through the structure and function pointer to trigger the corresponding event when the timing time is up.

[0039] End logic service, the provided interface can ensure that the state of the timer is reset when the timer ends.

[0040] Step S206, constructing a timer structure using the target timer entity and the timer requirement information, wherein the timer structure includes control parameters of the logic control service;

[0041] Optionally, the control parameters of the logic control service included in the timer structure in this embodiment include but are not limited to the requirements of the target object for the timer, such as the start time of the timer, the timer type, the recorded data, etc. When constructing the timer structure, different programming languages ​​and libraries can be used, for example, in C++ language.

[0042] Step S208: Use the timer structure to control the timing operation on the target object.

[0043] Optionally, the timer structure is used to implement timing functions in the program. It can perform timing operations on the target object. The specific operation depends on the timing requirements of the target object. Timing operations include but are not limited to: Delayed execution, executing a function or operation after a specified delay. This is often used to control the order of events, delayed responses of user interfaces, etc. Periodic execution, repeatedly performing an operation at a certain time interval. This can be used for continuous monitoring of status, repetitive tasks, etc. Single execution, performing an operation once at a specified time point, and then the timer stops. Timeout detection, setting a timeout period, if a specific operation is not completed or a certain condition is met within this period of time, the corresponding timeout processing is performed. Timer expiration, after the timer is executed, some cleanup or end operations can be performed, such as closing resources, releasing memory, etc. Pause and resume, during the execution of a scheduled task, the timer can be paused and resumed, which is very useful when dynamic control of scheduled tasks is required. Cancel the timer, before or during the execution of a scheduled task, the timer can be canceled to stop all subsequent timing operations. Increment or decrement count, the timer can be used to increment or decrement count, for example to implement a countdown function. Synchronous and asynchronous operations, timers can be used for synchronous or asynchronous operations to ensure that code is executed at a specific point in time. Timestamp recording, timers can be used to record the timestamp of an event, such as recording the time of a user operation.

[0044] Through the above steps, since the timer device can search for the target timer entity that matches the target object from the timer database based on the timer request of the target object, and use the target timer entity and the timer requirement information to build a timer structure, wherein the timer structure includes the control parameters of the logic control service. It is only necessary to set up a timer entity to generate a corresponding timer structure according to different timer requirements, so that the timer structure can be used to control the timing operation of the target object, and there is no need to set multiple timers in the target object, nor is there a need to uniformly manage multiple timers. Thus, the resources of the timer are saved. Therefore, the problem that the timer occupies too many resources and cannot be effectively managed in the related art can be solved, so as to save timer resources and achieve the effect of efficiently managing timers.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, a timer structure is constructed using the target timer entity and the timer requirement information, including: sending the timer requirement information to the timer start service, wherein the timer requirement information includes: timer start duration, timer type, and timer triggered event; defining an initial timer structure through the timer start service, wherein the initial timer structure includes timer requirement parameters; defining a target function through the timer start service, and initializing an instance of the initial timer structure using the target function; and obtaining the timer structure by setting the parameter values ​​of the timer requirement parameters through the timer start service according to the timer requirement information.

[0046] Optionally, in this embodiment, the timer requirement information may be sent by the management platform of the target object to the timer start service. Figure 4 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the device for monitoring the chassis status in this embodiment, in which the specific functions of the management platform are abstracted into a unified function, and the specific entities of each management platform are constructed according to the template. Each management platform registers the corresponding timer in the timer database, and relies on the event logic service of the timer entity to trigger each to obtain and update the corresponding data. At the same time, each management platform is also provided with its own event logic service, and the event logic is triggered according to the updated data, for example, an abnormal temperature data is obtained to report an alarm, and the hard disk transmission rate is adjusted after obtaining abnormal SAS link related data.

[0047] Optionally, the timer requirement information may also include the data to be recorded by the timer, the timer start flag, and the timer timing completion flag. The timer start duration, timer type, data to be recorded by the timer, the event triggered by the timer, the timer start flag, and the timer timing completion flag in this embodiment are the main parameter parts that constitute the timer requirement parameters. For example, Figure 5 As shown, the defined timer structure includes the timer start duration, timer type, timer data to be recorded, timer triggered event, timer start flag, and timer timing completion flag. These parameters can be implemented in C language.

[0048] The timer start duration is the length of time that the timer structure starts to count after it is started, usually expressed in milliseconds, seconds, minutes, etc. The timer type can be a one-time timer, a periodic timer, or a real-time timer.

[0049] The data to be recorded by the timer refers to the type of data that the timer structure needs to monitor and record. For example, in performance monitoring, the timer structure may record processing time; in game development, the timer structure may record frame rate or animation update cycle.

[0050] The timer triggers an event when the timer structure reaches the set time. It can trigger specific events or actions. These events can be function calls, signal sending, UI update, etc.

[0051] The timer start flag is a status flag that indicates whether the timer structure has been started. Typically, this flag is set to true when the timer structure starts timing, and is set to false when the timer structure is completed or stopped.

[0052] The timer timing completion flag is set when the timer structure completes its scheduled time interval to indicate that the timing has been completed. This flag is usually used to control subsequent logic flows, such as resetting the timer structure, executing specific tasks, etc.

[0053] Optionally, the target function in this embodiment will be called by the timer. This function should perform all operations that the target object runs when the timer structure is triggered. The target function can be a function encoded in Python. This embodiment can also define a structure or class to save the settings of the timer. For example, use Python to define the timer structure. And use the initialized timer structure instance to start the timer.

[0054] This embodiment constructs a timer structure through the timer start service in the timer entity, which can meet the timer requirements of different target objects and improve the efficiency of timer structure construction.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, the timer control device further includes a state service, the state service is connected to the timer judgment service, and uses the timer structure to control the timing operation of the target object, including: triggering the operation of the timer structure; polling the timer structure according to a preset time period through the state service to obtain the operation status information of the timer structure;

[0056] In the process of polling the timer structure, the timer judgment service is started, and the parameter value of the timer type in the timer structure is obtained from the running status information through the timer judgment service; when the type of the timer structure is determined to match the target object from the parameter value of the timer type through the timer judgment service, the startup parameter in the timer structure is obtained; when the timer judgment service determines from the startup parameter that the timer structure is currently in the started state, the timer timing service is triggered to start, and the value of the polling period of the timer structure is obtained through the timer timing service; through the timer judgment service and based on the value of the polling period, it is determined whether the timing time of the timer structure has arrived; when the timer judgment service determines that the timing time of the timer structure has arrived, the timer event service is triggered to start, and the function pointer of the timer entity is called through the timer event service to trigger the target event of the target object through the function pointer, wherein the timing operation includes triggering the target event.

[0057] Optionally, the timer structures constructed in different programming languages ​​operate in different ways. For example, in Python, the time.sleep() function can be used to trigger the operation of the timer structure.

[0058] Optionally, the working principle of the timer structure of this embodiment for the timing operation of the target object includes: polling, judging the state, timing and triggering the event process. For example, in the case where the target object is a chassis, Figure 6 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0059] S601, status polling, traverses all timer structures in the chassis through the status service, and regularly queries the current status of the timer structure.

[0060] S602, the timer judgment service is started. When the state of the timer structure is polled, a judgment service is started to analyze the state. This service extracts the type parameters of the timer structure from the state information. The judgment service matches the extracted parameters with the target object. If the match is successful, it means that the timer is for the target object, and then the startup parameters in the timer structure are obtained.

[0061] S603, the judgment service uses the startup parameters to determine whether the timer structure has been started. If it is determined that it has been started, the start timer timing service will be triggered.

[0062] S604, the timer timing service starts working and obtains the polling period value of the timer structure. This period determines how often the service will update its status.

[0063] S605: The timer determination service determines whether the timing of the timer structure has reached a predetermined time according to the value of the polling period.

[0064] S606, if the timer judgment service determines that the timing time has arrived, it will trigger the start timer event service. This service will call the function pointer of the timer entity, which is associated with the target object and is used to trigger the target event of the target object. The target event triggered by the function pointer is the final result of the timing operation, which may involve the execution of certain specific actions or program flows.

[0065] S607: After completion, continue to traverse the next timer structure.

[0066] The entire process in this embodiment involves multiple service and judgment steps, which can ensure that the timer can accurately and effectively trigger the target event.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, when the timer judgment service determines that the timing time of the timer structure has arrived, the timer event service is triggered to start, and the function pointer of the timer entity is called through the timer event service to trigger the target event of the target object through the function pointer. The method also includes: obtaining event data generated by triggering the target event; sending the event data to the target object control device of the target object to adjust the operation of the target object through the target object control device.

[0068] Optionally, the event data may come from a sensor that monitors the target object. For example, a sensor triggered by a timer structure obtains data such as the temperature, voltage, positioning light, and warning light of the chassis. Once the target event is triggered, the relevant event data needs to be sent to the control device of the target object. This may involve transmission through a network, wireless communication, or other data transmission methods. Among them, the target object control device is a device or system that receives event data and adjusts the operation of the target object based on this data. The control device may perform a series of operations based on the received data, such as adjusting device parameters, starting or stopping a process, etc. The control device adjusts the operating state of the target object based on the event data in response to the triggered event. This may include optimizing performance, ensuring safety, meeting specific needs, etc.

[0069] For example, Figure 4 As shown, when the target object is a chassis, the data update service in the chassis management platform obtains updated chassis data through a function pointer pointing to an interface, and transmits the chassis data (for example, temperature data, abnormal reporting alarms, SAS link data) to the event logic service in the management platform. After receiving the chassis data, the event logic service adjusts the hard disk transmission rate in the chassis, etc.

[0070] This embodiment obtains event data generated by triggering a target event, sends the event data to a target object control device of the target object, and adjusts the operation of the target object through the target object control device without human intervention, thereby improving efficiency and accuracy.

[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, after using the timer structure to control the timing operation on the target object, the method also includes one of the following: adjusting the control parameters in the timer structure through the timer end service, and continuing to use the adjusted control parameters to control the timer structure to perform the timing operation on the target object; deleting the timer structure through the timer end service.

[0072] Optionally, this embodiment adjusts the control parameters in the timer structure through the timer end service: this means that after the timer completes its preset timing operation, the control parameters of the timer need to be reconfigured or adjusted. These control parameters may include the timer interval, the number of repetitions, the specific action performed, etc. After adjusting these parameters, the timer structure will continue to perform the timing operation on the target object according to the new settings, thereby achieving more flexible and dynamic timing control.

[0073] Optionally, this embodiment deletes the timer structure through the timer end service: In some cases, once the timer structure completes its predetermined operation, the timer structure may no longer be needed. In this case, deleting the timer structure can release the resources related to it and ensure the efficiency and performance of the system operation. After deleting the timer structure, the timing operation related to it will no longer be executed. Thereby saving timer resources.

[0074] This embodiment can adjust the behavior of the timer as needed and can also clean up resources in time when not needed, thereby improving the maintainability and scalability of the timer structure and better adapting to different application scenarios and requirements.

[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, before receiving a timer request sent by the target object, the method also includes: receiving a registration request sent by the target object control device of the target object through the timer start service, wherein the registration request includes the object type of the target object; responding to the registration request, constructing the target timer entity, and registering the target timer entity in the timer database.

[0076] Optionally, this embodiment receives a registration request from the target object control device through a timer startup service. The control device here is part of the target object and is responsible for sending the registration request. The registration request includes object type information of the target object. The object type can be a device type, a service type, or other attribute used to identify or classify the target object. After receiving the registration request, a response to the request is required. This usually means that the system accepts and processes the request from the target object control device. After responding to the registration request, a target timer entity will be constructed. This entity is a data structure or object used to manage timed tasks related to the target object. Finally, the constructed target timer entity is registered in the timer database. This database is used to store and manage all registered timer entities for subsequent scheduling and management. For example, Figure 4 As shown, the management platform of the chassis registers the timer entity in the database.

[0077] This embodiment can obtain necessary information to create and manage a timer entity through a registration request, and then can accurately execute a timing task when a specific timer request is received.

[0078] The present application is described below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0079] This specific embodiment takes the components in the chassis as an example, and provides a timer unified management method for chassis status monitoring, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0080] S701, abstract the timer used into a fixed and unified template (i.e., timer entity). According to the template, each functional module creates and constructs a structure describing the timer timer entity through the timer start logic when the timer needs to be started.
