[0019] The implementation of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain implementations of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the implementations described herein. On the contrary, these implementations are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and implementations of the present disclosure are only for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0020] In the description of the implementation methods of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "an implementation" or "the implementation" should be understood as "at least one implementation". The term "some implementations" should be understood as "at least some implementations". The following may also include other explicit and implicit definitions. As used herein, the term "model" can represent the association relationship between various data. For example, the above-mentioned association relationship can be obtained based on a variety of technical solutions currently known and / or to be developed in the future.

[0021] It is understandable that the data involved in this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) shall comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and relevant provisions.

[0022] It is understandable that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the types, scope of use, usage scenarios, etc. of the personal information involved in the present disclosure should be informed to the user and the user's authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.

[0023] For example, in response to receiving an active request from a user, a prompt message is sent to the user to clearly prompt the user that the operation requested to be performed will require obtaining and using the user's personal information. Thus, the user can autonomously choose whether to provide personal information to software or hardware such as an electronic device, application, server, or storage medium that performs the operation of the technical solution of the present disclosure according to the prompt message.

[0024] As an optional but non-limiting implementation, in response to receiving an active request from the user, the prompt information is sent to the user in a manner such as a pop-up window, in which the prompt information can be presented in text form. In addition, the pop-up window can also carry a selection control for the user to choose "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0025] It is understandable that the above notification and the process of obtaining user authorization are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation of the present disclosure. Other methods that meet relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of the present disclosure.

[0026] The term "in response to" as used herein refers to a state in which a corresponding event occurs or a condition is satisfied. It will be understood that the timing of executing a subsequent action executed in response to the event or condition is not necessarily strongly related to the time when the event occurs or the condition is satisfied. For example, in some cases, the subsequent action may be executed immediately when the event occurs or the condition is satisfied; while in other cases, the subsequent action may be executed some time after the event occurs or the condition is satisfied.

[0027] Example Environment

[0028] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an application environment 100 according to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, application environment 100 may include multiple devices, for example, server device 110 may be connected to multiple client devices 120, 122, ..., and 124 via network 130. User 150 may use user account 140 to log in to any of the multiple client devices 120, 122, ..., and 124.

[0029] The user 150 can perform a desired operation on the logged-in device to modify the user data 160 associated with the user account 140 of the user 150. During the modification of the user data 160, the latest user data 160 can be uploaded to the server device 110 in real time, so as to generate shared user data that can be shared between the various client devices 120, 122, ..., and 124 at the server device 110. When the user uses the user account 140 to log in at other client devices (e.g., client devices 122, ..., and 124), the server device 110 can transmit the shared user data to the client device 122. At this time, no matter which client device is logged in using the user account 140, the latest user data can be accessed at the logged-in client device via the server device 110.

[0030] However, during the operation of each client device, network, and server device, problems such as failure and / or delay may occur, which may result in multiple copies of user data. During the data sharing process, data conflicts may occur between various devices due to device failure, network failure, etc. At this time, it is expected that data conflicts can be resolved in a more effective way to reduce the risk of data loss.

[0031] Highlights of the User Data Management Process

[0032] In order to at least partially address the deficiencies in the prior art, according to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, a method for managing user data of a user account is proposed. In summary, if it is determined that there are differences between copies of user data, the operation that caused the difference can be determined, and then the copies can be used to generate a final copy based on the complexity of the operation. In this way, the portion of the user data associated with more complex operations can be saved as much as possible, thereby reducing the risk of data loss and reducing the complexity of the user's potential operations for recovering lost data.

[0033] See also Figure 2 An overview of an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure is described. Figure 2 A block diagram 200 for managing user data for a user account according to some implementations of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 As shown, a first copy 210 associated with the user data 160 may be obtained from a server device 110 connected to a client device 120. Further, a second copy 220 associated with the user data 160 may be obtained from a client device 120 logged in using a user account 140. Further, it may be determined whether there is a difference between the first copy 210 and the second copy 220. If there is a difference 240, at least one operation 242 associated with the difference 240 may be further determined. Here, the at least one operation 242 may be an operation that results in a difference 240 between the two copies. Further, a third copy 230 of the user data may be generated based on a complexity 244 of the at least one operation 22 and using the first copy 210 and the second copy 220.

[0034] It will be appreciated that the complexity 244 of the operation 242 associated with the difference 240 can reflect to some extent the ease of operation for recovering data loss caused by data conflict. Therefore, when generating the third copy 230, the execution results of more complex operations can be retained as much as possible, thereby reducing the risk of data loss.

[0035] Detailed process of user data management

[0036] The general process of user data management has been described. Figure 2Describes more details about user data management. In the context of the present disclosure, differences between copies of user data may occur due to a variety of reasons. For example, while the client device 120 is pulling a remote copy of a data item in the cloud from the server device 110, the same data item may be modified locally. At this time, if a remote copy is received, there may be differences between the local copy existing at the client device 120 and the remote copy returned from the server device 110, and a data conflict will occur. For another example, when a client device submits a modified data item, if the same data item has been previously modified and updated to the server device 110, a data conflict may also occur at this time.

[0037] In the context of the present disclosure, data conflict has a special meaning. Data conflict here refers to a conflict of user data associated with a particular user account. It will be understood that user data may include one or more data items, and data conflict refers to a conflict for the same data item. According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, it can be detected whether the conditions for the occurrence of a data conflict are met, that is, the local copy and the remote copy for the same data item are inconsistent, and the local data item has been modified at the client device 120 logged in using the user account.

[0038] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, the method for managing user data may be executed upon detecting that a user logs in at the client device 120 using the user account 140. In this way, the method according to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure may be initiated only after detecting that a user logs in using the user account 140. In this way, the user data management method may be called only when needed, thereby reducing various related resource overheads.

[0039] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, the first copy 210 can be obtained from the server device 110, and the second copy 220 can be obtained from the client device 120. The method according to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure can be performed at any device that can obtain the above two copies. For example, the method can be performed at the client device 120, the method can be performed at the server device 110, or the method can be performed at other third-party devices.

[0040] Further, it is possible to compare whether there are differences between the first replica 210 and the second replica 220. If there are differences between the two replicas, a data conflict is detected, and the subsequent steps are performed. If no data conflict is detected, it is possible to continue waiting until a difference is found between the first replica 210 and the second replica 220. According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, one or more operations associated with the difference may be determined. The operation here refers to the operation that causes the difference. Assuming that the user data involves the volume setting of the client device, the volume setting in the first replica 210 is "off" and the volume setting in the second replica 220 is "on", then the operation that causes the difference at this time may represent a volume setting operation.

[0041] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, there may be multiple types of operations. For example, a setting operation may set configuration data of a client device, and an editing operation may edit document data using an application installed at the client device. Specifically, the configuration data may include at least one of the following: system configuration data of an operating system of the client device, application configuration data of an application installed at the client device. Figure 3 Describes more information about various operations.

[0042] Figure 3 A block diagram 300 is shown showing the complexity of user operations according to some implementations of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the system setting operation 310 can set the system configuration data of the operating system of the client device, such as volume setting 312, Bluetooth setting 314, etc. The system configuration data usually involves various preferences of the user when operating the client device. Such setting operations are usually relatively simple and only require configuration using simple controls such as a slide bar, a switch button, or a drop-down menu, so they have low complexity.

[0043] The application setting operation 320 may set the application installed at the client device. Assuming that a browser application, an input method application, etc. are installed at the client, the application setting operation 320 may include: a favorites setting 312 for setting the browser application, a word library setting for setting the input method application, etc. Compared with the system setting operation 310, the process of the application setting operation 320 is usually more complicated, and the input content is also more, for example, it is necessary to enter a name for the favorites, add a new common word to the word library, etc. At this time, the application setting operation 320 may have a medium complexity.

[0044] Further, the editing operation 330 may, for example, represent an editing operation performed using various applications installed at the client device. Assuming that a text editing application, an image editing application, etc. are installed at the client device, the editing operation 330 may include a text editing 332 operation performed using the text editing application, an image editing 334 operation performed using the image editing application, etc. Generally speaking, the editing operation 330 requires the use of an input device such as a keyboard and / or a mouse to perform complex input actions, so the editing operation 330 may have a high degree of complexity.

[0045] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, the following Figure 3 The complexity of various operations may be set in the order shown. For example, the complexity of the system setting operation 310 may be set to "low", the complexity of the application setting operation 320 may be set to "medium", and the complexity of the editing operation 330 may be set to "high". Subsequently, the complexity of the operation associated with the difference between the two copies of the user data may be obtained, and a third copy of the user data may be generated from the first copy and the second copy based on the determined complexity.

[0046] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, a corresponding generation strategy may be selected based on the complexity associated with the distinction. Figure 4 A block diagram 400 for generating a third copy according to some implementations of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4 As shown, a corresponding generation strategy 420 may be selected based on the determined complexity 244. For example, a predetermined threshold condition may be set for the complexity of the operation. If the complexity does not meet the predetermined threshold condition, a "discard strategy" may be selected, that is, the execution result associated with the target operation is discarded in the third copy. For another example, if the complexity meets the predetermined threshold condition, a "retain strategy" may be selected, that is, the execution result associated with the target operation is retained in the third copy.

[0047] Specifically, for the target operation in at least one operation, if it is determined that the complexity of the target operation does not meet the predetermined threshold condition, the execution result associated with the target operation can be discarded in the third copy. According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, the predetermined threshold condition may be: the complexity is greater than or equal to "medium". At this time, when the difference-related operation is a "system setting operation", the predetermined threshold condition is not met, and the execution result of the corresponding operation may not be retained in the third copy. Assuming that the detected operation is a volume setting operation, the execution result associated with the target operation can be discarded in the third copy because the operation is relatively simple.

[0048] In one example, based on the discarding strategy, any one of the first copy and the second copy can be used to create a third copy of the user data. At this time, even if the volume setting in the third copy is inconsistent with the user's current expectations, since the volume setting operation is not complicated, the user only needs to adjust the volume setting button at the client device to set the desired volume. Alternatively and / or additionally, the first timestamp of the first copy and the second timestamp of the second copy can be obtained respectively, and the two timestamps can be compared and the newer timestamp can be determined. Further, a third copy can be established based on the copy of the first copy and the second copy associated with the newer timestamp. Generally speaking, the copy with the newer timestamp can better reflect the user's latest needs, so establishing the third copy based on the copy with the newer timestamp can meet the user's latest needs to a greater extent, thereby reducing the risk of losing data.

[0049] Alternatively and / or additionally, the third copy 230 may be established based on the local copy (i.e., the second copy) at the client device currently being operated by the user. That is, the second copy 220 may be directly used as the latest third copy 230. At this time, the second copy 220 is the local data at the client device currently being operated by the user, and thus it can be considered that the local data is the latest data modified by the user and is more in line with the latest needs of the user.

[0050] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, when the difference-related operation is an "application setting operation" and / or an "editing operation", the predetermined threshold condition is met, and the execution result of the corresponding operation can be retained in the third copy based on the retention policy. Specifically, assuming that the detected operation is a favorites setting 312 operation, since the complexity of the operation meets the predetermined threshold condition of "greater than or equal to 'medium'", the execution result associated with the target operation should be retained in the third copy. For another example, assuming that the detected difference is caused by an "editing operation 330", it can be determined that the complexity of the operation meets the predetermined threshold condition, and the execution result of the "editing operation 330" should be retained in the third copy.

[0051] It will be understood that when the complexity of an operation meets a predetermined threshold condition, if the execution result of the operation is discarded, more labor is required to restore the execution result. Assuming that the operation involves modifying the favorites of the browser and the difference between the two copies is that one copy includes an additional favorite page, the favorite page can be retained in the third copy. In this way, the workload of the user manually entering the name of the favorite page and the link to restore the favorite page can be avoided. For another example, assuming that the operation involves editing text using a text application, and the difference between the two copies is that one copy includes an additional paragraph, the additional paragraph can be retained in the third copy. In this way, the additional workload caused by the user re-entering the additional paragraph can be avoided.

[0052] Continue to see Figure 4 , the generation strategy 420 can be further refined based on the relevant historical operations 410 of each replica, the amount of modified data 412, the level 414, and other factors. According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, in the process of generating the third replica, the historical operations related to each replica can be obtained respectively, and then the execution results can be retained in the third replica based on the historical operations. For example, the first group of historical operations associated with the first replica and the second group of historical operations associated with the second replica can be obtained respectively.

[0053] It will be understood that the historical operation may include one or more historical operations. For example, for a volume setting operation, the historical operation may include a previous operation of setting the volume to the current parameter. For another example, for an editing operation performed using a text application, the historical operation may include a series of previous operations, such as a corresponding previous operation for entering each word in a paragraph. Using the exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, the first set of historical operations and the second set of historical operations can create a more accurate third copy, so that the third copy includes more information that meets the user's needs.

[0054] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, in order to fully preserve the execution result in the third replica, the modified first data item associated with the first replica and the modified second data item associated with the second replica may be obtained respectively, and then the third replica may be created based on the first data item and the second data item. Figure 5 Describes more details about creating the third copy. Figure 5 A block diagram 500 is shown for combining a first replica and a second replica to generate a third replica in accordance with some implementations of the present disclosure.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, it is assumed that the user data relates to a document edited using a text application. At this time, the first copy 210 includes a first paragraph 512, a second paragraph 514, and a third paragraph 516, and the second copy 220 includes a fourth paragraph 520 and a second paragraph 514. All paragraphs in the first copy 210 and the second copy 220 can be combined to generate a third copy 230. At this time, the third copy 230 can include the following four paragraphs: the first paragraph 512, the fourth paragraph 520, the second paragraph 514, and the third paragraph 516.

[0056] It will be understood that, although the final version expected by the user may not include all four paragraphs, the third copy 230 generated by combining the two copies includes richer information. Compared with re-entering the content of a certain (certain paragraphs), the user can remove the undesired part from the third copy 230 through a simple "delete" operation, thereby obtaining the latest version of the document. According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, the order of each paragraph in the third copy 230 can be determined according to the order of each paragraph in the first copy 210 and the second copy 220, respectively. In this way, the third copy 230 can be made more consistent with the user's previous historical operations, thereby reducing the risk of data loss.

[0057] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, in order to generate the third copy 230, prompt information indicating the difference can be provided to the user. For example, a list and / or other formats can be used to represent the difference between the two copies, and the user can be prompted to select the desired portion to be retained. Feedback from the user regarding the prompt information can be received, and the third copy can be created using the first copy and the second copy based on the feedback. In this way, a customized selection tool can be provided to the user in a more flexible and accurate manner, thereby retaining the latest data portion desired by the user in the third copy.

[0058] For example, in Figure 5 In the example shown, the prompt information may include four identifiers corresponding to the first paragraph 512, the fourth paragraph 520, the second paragraph 514, and the third paragraph 516. The user can select (or not select) the identifier to include (or exclude) the corresponding paragraph in the third copy. For example, the user can select all four identifiers, and the third paragraph 230 will include the following: Figure 5 For another example, the user may select three identifiers corresponding to the first paragraph 512, the fourth paragraph 520, and the second paragraph 514, respectively. In this case, the third paragraph 230 may only include three paragraphs: the first paragraph 512, the fourth paragraph 520, and the second paragraph 514.

[0059] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, the user may be directly prompted that there is currently a data conflict, and the user is provided with a first copy 210 and a second copy 220. The user may choose to use any current version to generate a third copy 230, or the user may choose to combine two copies to generate a third copy.

[0060] will understand, although Figure 5The process of generating the third copy is described by taking a text document as an example, and the user data here may further include image data, audio data, video data, etc. In the case where the user data involves image data, objects located in different image copies may be included in the third copy. For example, the difference between two image copies may be stored in a separate layer, etc. In this way, the editing results of the user in different copies may be saved as much as possible, thereby reducing the risk of data loss.

[0061] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, in the process of generating the third replica, the levels of the modified data in each replica can be further considered, and then the relationship between the levels can be used to generate the third replica. For example, the first level of the modified data associated with the first replica and the second level of the modified data associated with the second replica can be obtained respectively. At this time, the third replica can be created based on the first level of the modified data in the first replica and the second level of the modified data in the second replica.

[0062] Figure 6 A block diagram 600 of user data including multiple levels according to some implementations of the present disclosure is shown. Assuming that the user data relates to favorites in a browser application, the favorites 610 may relate to a tree structure and may include multiple different levels. Figure 6 As shown, favorites 610 may be located at “layer 1”, web page 612 and favorites 620 may be located at “layer 2”, and web page 622 may be located at “layer 3”. Assuming that favorites 620 is deleted in the first copy, and a new web page (not shown) is further added to favorites 620 in the second copy, then at this time, since the other web page is a child node of favorites 620, this may indicate that the user may not want to delete favorites 620, but wants to further add web pages to favorites 620.

[0063] At this time, the generated third copy can retain the favorites 620 and the added new web page in the favorites 620. In this way, based on the hierarchy of each node in the tree structure, it can be ensured that the third copy includes more content in different copies, thereby reducing the risk of data loss.

[0064] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, in the process of generating the third copy, the amount of data of the difference between the copies can be further considered. If the amount of data involved is small, the difference can be discarded in the third copy. In this way, even if the latest data part expected by the user is not included in the third copy, manually adding the latest data part will not cause a large workload. If the amount of data involved is large, the difference can be included in the third copy. In this way, it can be ensured that the amount of lost data is within a controllable range, thereby reducing the additional workload caused by recovering the data.

[0065] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, when the third copy has been generated, the third copy may be sent to the server device so as to be used as user data shared among the client devices connected to the client device. Figure 7 A block diagram 700 for sharing user data between multiple client devices according to some implementations of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 7 As shown, the third copy may be sent to the server device 110 so that the shared copy 710 to be shared is stored at the server device 110. At this point, data sharing may be performed between the various client devices 120, 122, ..., and 124 connected to the server device 110. In this way, after the data conflict has been resolved, the latest version of the user data may be synchronized to the server device 110 so that the data is shared between the various client devices logged in with the same user account.

[0066] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, each client device logged in using a user account can receive a shared copy 710 from the server device 110. Further, each client device can locally update the received shared copy to generate a new local copy. Subsequently, the client device can upload a new local copy to the server device 110 so that a new shared copy can be stored at the server device 110. Further, each client device logged in using a user account can receive the new shared copy 710. Specifically, if it is determined that the shared copy 710 at the server device is updated to the fourth copy, one or more other client devices can receive the fourth copy from the server device 110. In this way, data sharing can be continuously performed between various client devices logged in using user accounts.

[0067] According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, the user can modify the generated third copy. Specifically, the user interaction with the third copy can be detected. In the case of receiving the user interaction of the user at the client device with respect to the third copy, the fifth copy of the user data can be generated based on the user interaction. For example, based on the type of the user data, the user can further perform a system setting operation, an application setting operation and / or an editing operation to obtain the latest data.

[0068] Furthermore, the updated fifth copy can be sent to the server device periodically and / or in response to other predetermined conditions, so that the fifth copy can be used as user data shared between various client devices connected to the client device. In this way, at various client devices logged in using the user account, the user data can be continuously modified based on the user's own needs, and can be shared with other client devices via the server device without the user's awareness.
