[0056] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0057] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0058] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: obtaining the license information of the hardware license and the computer information corresponding to the computer, adding identification information to the license information, and entering the computer information and the hardware license information with the added identification information into the device information library; obtaining the monitoring result of the number of USB devices of the computer, and when the monitoring result changes, determining whether the changed USB device is the hardware license; when the changed device is the hardware license, determining the license information of the hardware license, updating the device information library according to the license information, and obtaining the changed device information library; and visually displaying the hardware license usage information in the changed device information library.

[0059] In this embodiment, for ease of description, the following description is made by taking a device for identifying and visualizing the use of a hardware license in real time as an execution subject.

[0060] Due to the existing technology for the use and management of hardware licenses, most of the current hardware license registration forms are paper-based. However, in actual use, there are problems such as unreasonable design of the paper registration form, incomplete information, users not filling out the form in time, users filling out the form in an irregular manner, the paper registration form cannot update the actual use of the hardware license in time, the hardware license use is not intuitive, and other hardware license management chaos, which results in some hardware licenses being actually idle, but the hardware licenses that are urgently needed cannot be found in time, resulting in a waste of time and resources.

[0061] The present application provides a solution to visualize the use of hardware licenses in real time. The use of hardware licenses can be displayed in real time in the form of a web page, including the function of the license, the number, the host name of the computer where the license is located, the location of the computer, and the name of the owner of the computer. When a hardware license is inserted into the computer, the data will be updated in time and displayed on the web page.

[0062] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the present application obtains the license information of the hardware license and the computer information corresponding to the computer, adds identification information to the license information, enters the computer information and the hardware license information with the identification information added into the device information library, obtains the monitoring result of the number of USB devices of the computer, and when the monitoring result changes, determines whether the changed USB device is the hardware license, and when the changed device is the hardware license, determines the license information of the hardware license, updates the device information library according to the license information to obtain the changed device information library, and performs a visual display according to the hardware license usage information in the changed device information library, displays the usage of the hardware license in real time, and improves the usage efficiency of the hardware license.

[0063] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment may be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, a real-time visualization device for hardware license usage, etc. The following takes the real-time visualization device for hardware license usage as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0064] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a real-time visualization method for hardware license usage, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the first embodiment of the real-time visualization method for hardware license usage in this application.

[0065] In this embodiment, the method for real-time visualization of hardware license usage includes steps S10 to S40:

[0066] Step S10, obtaining license information of the hardware license and computer information corresponding to the computer, adding identification information to the license information, and entering the computer information and the hardware license information with the identification information added into a device information library.

[0067] It should be noted that the license information and computer information are inherent to the license and the computer and are unchangeable. The license information is stored in the license and the computer information is stored in the corresponding computer. The identification information is added later and is used to mark the information, such as the number and other information. The database is a database for storing license information and computer information.

[0068] In a specific implementation, the license information of the hardware license can be obtained, the manufacturer information and product information are generated according to the license information, the unique license identification information is generated according to the manufacturer information and the product information, numbering information, classification information and remark information are added to the license information, and the entry information of the hardware license is obtained according to the unique license identification information, the numbering information, the classification information and the remark information, the computer information corresponding to the computer is obtained, the computer entry information is generated according to the computer number, unique computer identification information, computer name and location information in the computer information, and the entry information of the hardware license and the computer are entered into the device information library. Generally speaking, there are many different USB devices on a computer. Although the hardware licenses will have numbers, these numbers are added later by humans and cannot be directly recognized by the computer. Therefore, a unique identifier of the hardware license that can be recognized by the computer is required. The present invention selects a combination of VID and PID as the unique identifier, represented by VP. The input information of the hardware license includes [VP, Number, Class, Notice], where VP is a string composed of VID and PID, which is used as the unique identifier to distinguish USB. Number is a number added later to facilitate identification and search for a hardware license. Class is the classification of the license, such as dSPACE hardware license and carmaker hardware license. Notice is a note used to further supplement and improve the information of the hardware license, such as further subdividing dSPACE hardware license into ControlDesk, CFD, ModelDesk, MotionDesk, and AutomationDesk. Since the hardware license information finally displayed on the web page also includes the computer where a specific license is located, the computer number, name, and location of the computer, the information of the computer using the software must be entered in advance. The computer input information includes [Com_Number, UUID, Com_name, Location], where UUID is mainly used as the unique identifier of the computer. After the information to be entered is clear, the corresponding table can be established in the database to store the data. This patent chooses to use the SQL database and creates a new database named dongles, whose structure is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the basic information of the computer is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the basic information of dongle is as follows Figure 4Then create two tables named dongle_base_info and com_base_info respectively. dongle_base_info is used to store the basic information of the hardware license [VP, Number, Class, Notice], with primary key = VP, and com_base_info is used to store the basic information of the computer [Com_Number, UUID, Com_name, Location], with primary key = UUID.

[0069] In a feasible implementation manner, the step of entering the entry information of the hardware license and the entry information of the computer into the device information library includes:

[0070] Generate a license information table and a computer information table according to the input information of the hardware license and the input information of the computer;

[0071] Determine the license primary key value of the license information table and the primary key value of the computer information table;

[0072] Entering the input information of the hardware license and the input information of the computer into the license information table and the computer information table respectively;

[0073] The license information table and the computer information table are entered into a device information library.

[0074] In the specific implementation, in order to visualize the use of hardware licenses in the future, it is also necessary to store the relevant use information of the hardware license in the database. Therefore, it is necessary to create a new table in the dongle database to record the real-time use information of the license. Here, a new table named dongle_where is created, and the input information includes [Number, Class, Notice, Free, Com_name, Location, user], and the primary key = Number. The above database creation and table specific codes are all in the dongle_show\mydata\tb_build.py file. Figure 5 As shown, the newly created table can reflect the usage information of dongle.

[0075] Step S20, obtaining a monitoring result of the number of USB devices of the computer, and when the monitoring result changes, determining whether the changed USB device is the hardware license.

[0076] It should be noted that the monitoring result of the number of USB devices on the computer includes the change in the number of USB devices on the current computer device, which may specifically describe the number of newly added devices and the number of reduced devices.

[0077] In a specific implementation, when monitoring the number of USB devices on a computer, the insertion signal or removal signal of the USB device can be monitored. When the insertion signal or removal signal is detected, the USB hardware record can be triggered to generate a monitoring result, and the identification information of the current USB device can be determined. The current identification information is compared with the record information of the dongle database to determine whether the currently inserted or unplugged USB device is a hardware license.

[0078] In a feasible implementation manner, the step of obtaining a monitoring result of the number of USB devices of the computer and determining whether the changed USB device is the hardware license when the monitoring result changes includes:

[0079] Obtaining a monitoring result of the number of USB devices of the computer, and when the monitoring result changes, obtaining a list of devices after the change, and simultaneously tracing back the list of devices before the change;

[0080] Compare the device list after the change with the device list before the change to determine the changed USB device information;

[0081] The unique license identification information of the changed USB device information is determined, and the unique license identification information is compared with the unique license identification information of the hardware license to determine whether the changed USB device information is the hardware license.

[0082] In a specific implementation, when the monitoring result of the number of USB devices of a computer is obtained, when it is determined that the monitoring result has changed, a feasible method is to determine the changed USB device list, and at the same time trace back the USB device list before the change, and compare the changed device list with the device list before the change, determine the changed USB device information, determine the unique license identification information of the changed USB device information, compare the unique license identification information with the unique license identification information of the hardware license, and determine whether the changed USB device information is a hardware license. Specifically, the usage of the hardware license can be added to dongle_base_info. When the basic information of the hardware license is entered into the dongle_base_info table in the dongle database, the usage of the hardware license is automatically added to the dongle_where table, [Number, Class, Notice, Free, Com_name, Location, user], Number, Class, Notice are the inherent information of the hardware license, equal to its value in dongle_base_info, Free = 1, Com_name, Location, user are all equal to None. Monitor the changes in the number of USB devices on the computer in real time, determine whether the plugged-in or unplugged USB device is a hardware license in the library, filter out the plugged-in or unplugged USB devices, obtain their VPs, and then traverse the VP column in the dongle_base_info table in the dongle database to determine whether the VP of the device is in the database; dongle_where data is updated in real time.

[0083] Step S30, when the changed device is the hardware license, determine the license information of the hardware license, and update the device information library according to the license information to obtain a changed device information library.

[0084] In a specific implementation, when the changed device is a hardware license, the license information of the hardware license can be determined, and the device information library can be updated according to the license information. When updating, it can be determined whether the change type of the current changed device is unplugged or inserted, and the information of the current hardware license is updated according to the change type. For example, when the available quantity corresponding to a certain license X in the database is 2 and the maximum quantity is 4, and the current license is inserted, the corresponding current available quantity is reduced by 1, and the computer information of the current hardware license inserted is added to the used table to generate usage record data. Similarly, if it is unplugged, the unique identification information and corresponding computer information of the current hardware license can be obtained, the existing data records can be found, and the current records can be cleared, and the available quantity can be updated to 3. Therefore, the device information library can be updated according to the determined hardware license information to obtain the change information library.

[0085] In a feasible implementation manner, when the changed device is the hardware license, determining the license information of the hardware license, and updating the device information library according to the license information to obtain the changed device information library comprises:

[0086] When the changed device is the hardware license and the change type is new insertion, obtaining unique license identification information of the changed device, and obtaining license information according to the unique license information;

[0087] Acquire unique computer identification information of a local computer, and acquire computer parameters of the computer according to the unique computer identification information;

[0088] The user information is received, and the device information base is updated according to the license information, the computer parameters and the user information to obtain a changed device information base.

[0089] In the specific implementation, if it is a newly inserted device, the Number, Class, and Notice can be obtained from dongle_base_info according to the VP of the hardware license. Then the UUID of the local computer is obtained, and the relevant information of the computer where the hardware license is located is obtained from com_base_info according to the UUID, including Com_name and Location. Since it is newly inserted, Free = 0, that is, it is not in an idle state. Then a dialog box pops up to prompt the user to enter his or her name, corresponding to the User in dongle_where. Finally, all the usage information of the hardware license in dongle_where [Number, Class, Notice, Free, Com_name, Location, user] has been obtained and can be returned to dongle_where.

[0090] In a feasible implementation manner, when the changed device is the hardware license, determining the license information of the hardware license, updating the device information library according to the license information, and obtaining the changed device information library further comprises:

[0091] When the changed device is the hardware license and the change type is unplugging, acquiring unique license identification information of the changed device, and obtaining license information according to the unique license information;

[0092] The corresponding computer parameters and user information are determined according to the unique computer identification information, and the computer parameters and user information are updated and synchronized to a device information library to obtain a changed device information library.

[0093] In the specific implementation, if the hardware license is unplugged, the Number, Class, and Notice can be obtained from dongle_base_info according to the VP of the hardware license. Since it is unplugged, Free = 0, that is, it is in an idle state, User = None, and the relevant information of the computer, Com_name and Location are all None. Finally, all the usage information of the hardware license in dongle_where [Number, Class, Notice, Free, Com_name, Location, user] has been obtained and can be returned to dongle_where.

[0094] Step S40: Visually display the hardware license usage information in the changed device information library.

[0095] In the specific implementation, the change information library can be updated in real time and displayed in the form of a table on the web page, including the license category, number, host name of the computer, computer location and name of the computer owner, for easy viewing. When performing visual display, a web application can be built based on Flask. Flask is a lightweight web framework that defines a simple web application that connects to a MySQL database, queries all records in the dongle_where table, and sends the results to an HTML template for rendering, including using the mysql.connector library to connect to a MySQL database; defining a route processing function index(), which maps to the root URL of the application (' / '). When a user visits this URL, Flask calls this function; in the index() function, we execute a SQL query to retrieve all records from the dongle_where table; the query results (a list containing dongle records) are sent to the index.html template for rendering. Reference Figure 6 , Figure 6 It is a visualization diagram of the hardware license usage. When performing visualization, a query instruction is generated according to the license usage information in the change information library; the usage information of the target license is determined according to the query instruction; the usage information of the target license is rendered according to the preset template for visualization. Specifically, when the Flask application runs and receives a request for the root URL (' / '), it executes the index() routing processing function. This function retrieves dongle records from the database and sends them to the index.html template for rendering. The template uses the Jinja2 engine to insert the dongle data into the HTML table and generate the final HTML page, which is presented to the user through a web browser. After that, the usage time of the software corresponding to the hardware license can be calculated by recording the stay time of the hardware license on each computer, thereby obtaining the usage time and idle time of the employee using a certain software on a certain computer, which can more intuitively and truly reflect the usage of a certain software and the employee's preference for software.

[0096] The present embodiment provides a method for real-time visualization of hardware license usage, by obtaining license information of a hardware license and computer information corresponding to a computer, adding identification information to the license information, entering the computer information and the hardware license information with the identification information added into a device information library, obtaining a monitoring result of the number of USB devices of the computer, and when the monitoring result changes, determining whether the changed USB device is the hardware license, and when the changed device is the hardware license, determining the license information of the hardware license, updating the device information library according to the license information to obtain a changed device information library, and performing visualization according to the hardware license usage information in the changed device information library, displaying the usage of the hardware license in real time, and improving the usage efficiency of the hardware license.

[0097] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to understand the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the real-time visualization method for the use of hardware licenses in the present application.
