[0002] The software system of the CS (Client-Server) mode is a software system that is currently widely used. In the software system of the CS mode, there are a client and a server. The various functions executed by the client depend on the instruction decisions and configuration data of the server. Configuration data is crucial for whether the client can execute a certain function. Therefore, the server needs to update the configuration data of the client in a timely manner.

[0003] The current configuration update scheme is usually full update. Specifically, the client sends a configuration update request to the server, and the server sends the full configuration data corresponding to the client to the client, and the client updates the configuration data with updates among them.

[0004] In the above scheme, each time the configuration is updated, the server needs to send the full configuration data to the client. Since the full configuration data usually has a large amount of data, this will cause a large waste of bandwidth for the client. Summary of the Invention

[0045] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for the description of the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of this application. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings.

[0051] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0052] The embodiments of this application provide a method for configuration update. This method can be applied to a software system, and the software system can be the software system of a music application, the software system of a video application, etc. Refer to Figure 1 , the software system includes a server and a client. Both the server and the client can be computing devices, and the computing devices can be servers, mobile phones, tablet computers, desktop computers, laptop computers, etc.

[0053] The various functions executed by the client depend on the configuration data sent by the server. Therefore, the server needs to update the configuration data of the client in a timely manner. In the related art, the current configuration update scheme is usually a full update. Specifically, the client sends a configuration update request to the server, and the server sends the full configuration data corresponding to the client to the client. Among them, the full configuration data is all configuration items. Then, the client updates the configuration items with updates in the full configuration data sent by the server. In the solution of the related art, each time the configuration is updated, the server needs to send the full configuration data to the client. Since the amount of the full configuration data is usually large, this will cause a large waste of bandwidth for the client.

[0054] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for configuration update. In this method, the configuration items of the software system are divided into configuration classes and managed in the form of configuration classes. When the server updates the configuration of the client, it first determines the updated configuration classes with updates, and further determines the updated configuration items with updates in the updated configuration classes. Furthermore, the server only needs to send the updated configuration items to the client, which can effectively reduce the bandwidth occupation of the client during configuration update.

[0055] The following describes the method for configuration update provided by the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Refer to Figure 2 , this method may include the following steps:

[0056] Step 201: The server receives a configuration update request sent by the client.

[0057] Among them, the configuration update request carries the client attribute information of each configuration class of the software system in the client. Each configuration class includes at least one configuration item of the software system. The client attribute information includes the configuration class identifier information of the configuration class and the client version information of the configuration class.

[0058] In implementation, taking the software system as a music application as an example, when the music application has not been installed on the client, the client first sends a download request for the music application to the server. Furthermore, the server sends an installation package of the music application to the client. The installation package includes all configuration items of the music application, the configuration item identifiers of the configuration items, the server version information of the configuration items, and the server attribute information of the configuration classes to which the configuration items belong. The client installs the music application and uses the server version information of the configuration item as the client version information of the configuration item, uses the server attribute information of the configuration class as the attribute information of the configuration class, and uses the server version information of the configuration class as the client version information of the configuration class.

[0059] After installing the software system, the client can periodically send a configuration update request to the server, or send a configuration update request to the server when receiving an update instruction.

[0060] In a possible implementation, when the client periodically sends a configuration update request to the server, the heartbeat message can be reused as the configuration update request. Specifically, the process can be as follows:

[0061] A communication connection is established between the client and the server, such as a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) long connection. Then, the client starts a keep-alive heartbeat timer. When the keep-alive heartbeat timer reaches the specified timing condition, the client sends a heartbeat message to the server, and this heartbeat message can be used as the configuration update request, which carries the client attribute information of each configuration class of the software system in the client.

[0062] In another possible implementation, the heartbeat message can be reused as the configuration update request every N heartbeat messages. For example, the first heartbeat message is used as the configuration update request, the (N + 2)-th heartbeat message is used as the configuration update request, the (2N + 2)-th heartbeat message is used as the configuration update request, and so on. Among them, the value of N can be configured by relevant personnel according to requirements, such as N = 5.

[0063] In a possible implementation, the client version information and the server version information of the above configuration class can be version numbers, or can be the digest of each configuration item in the configuration class. The specific digest calculation can use content digest algorithms such as CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check), MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5), SHA256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256), etc.

[0064] In a possible implementation, the server can store configured server cookies, and the client can store configured client cookies. The following uses an example to illustrate cookies. Table 1 below shows the corresponding relationship between a configuration class identification information and the server version information of the configuration class.

[0065] Table 1

[0066] Configuration class identification information Server version information of the configuration class section1 1001 section2 2001 section3 3001 …… ……

[0067] The method for generating the configured server cookies can be to sort the configuration class identification information in lexicographical order, obtain the server version information of each configuration class, and splice them into a string to obtain the server cookies. Taking Table 1 above as an example, the server cookies are: section1=1001§ion2=2001§ion3=3001….

[0068] Correspondingly, the configured server cookies can be carried in the installation package of the software system sent by the server to the client, and the client can use the server cookies as the client cookies. The client attribute information of each configuration class of the software system in the client carried in the configuration update request sent by the client to the server can be the configured client cookies.

[0069] In a possible implementation, the client can store the configuration items in the format of configuration class, key of the configuration item, and value of the configuration item, as shown in Table 2 below:

[0070] Table 2

[0071] Configuration class identification information Key of the configuration item Value of the configuration item section1 key1 value1 section1 key2 value2 Section2 key6 value6 …… …… ……

[0072] Among them, the key of the configuration item can be the above-mentioned configuration item identification information.

[0073] Correspondingly, when a module needs to read the configuration, it can call the configuration reading interface. The input parameters of the configuration reading interface include the configuration class identification information and the key of the configuration item. Furthermore, the value of the configuration item can be obtained.

[0074] Step 202: The server determines the updated configuration class in the configuration classes of the software system in the server according to the client attribute information of each configuration class of the software system in the client and the server attribute information of each configuration class of the software system in the server, and determines the updated configuration items in the configuration items included in the updated configuration class.

[0075] In implementation, the configuration update includes three cases: value update of the configuration item, addition of a new configuration item, and deletion of a configuration item.

[0076] The following is an explanation of these three cases:

[0077] Case 1: Value update of the configuration item

[0078] When the value of a configuration item is updated, the server version information of the configuration item is also updated. For example, the version information of a configuration item is an incrementing numerical value. If the server version information of a certain configuration item is 10, when the value of this configuration item is updated, the server version information of this configuration item is updated to 11.

[0079] In addition, when the value of a configuration item is updated, it is also necessary to update the server version information of the configuration class to which the configuration item belongs. For example, the version information of a configuration class is an incrementing numerical value. If the server version information of a certain configuration class is 1001, when the value of a certain configuration item in this configuration class is updated, the server version information of this configuration class is updated to 1002. Another example is that the version information of a configuration class is the digest of each configuration item in the configuration class. When the value of a certain configuration item in this configuration class is updated, the digest of each configuration item in the configuration class is recalculated, and the server version information of this configuration class is updated to the recalculated digest.

[0080] Case 2: Adding a new configuration item

[0081] When adding a new configuration item, determine the configuration class to which the new configuration item belongs, add the new configuration item to the configuration class to which it belongs. If the configuration class to which it belongs is an existing configuration class, update the server version information of the configuration class to which it belongs.

[0082] There are multiple methods to divide configuration items into configuration classes. Several of them are exemplified below for illustration.

[0083] Method 1:

[0084] In the stage of developing a software system, it is preset that the maximum number of configuration items included in a configuration class is M. First, create a configuration class, assign configuration class identification information to it, and randomly assign existing configuration items to this configuration class. When all configuration items have been assigned, but the number of configuration items included in this configuration class has not yet reached M, determine the server identification information of this configuration class; when the number of configuration items included in this configuration class reaches M and there are still configuration items not assigned, determine the server identification information of this configuration class, and create the next configuration class, assign configuration class identification information to it, and randomly assign the remaining configuration items to the newly created configuration class. When all configuration items have been assigned, but the number of configuration items included in this configuration class has not yet reached M, determine the server identification information of this configuration class; when the number of configuration items included in this configuration class reaches M and there are still configuration items not assigned, determine the server identification information of this configuration class, and create the next configuration class, and so on until all configuration items are assigned to configuration classes.

[0085] After the software system is launched, if there are new configuration items, it is determined whether there is a configuration class that currently includes configuration items that do not reach M. If so, it is determined that the configuration class is the configuration class to which the new configuration item belongs. If not, a new configuration class is created, configuration class identification information is assigned to it, the newly created configuration class is determined to be the configuration class to which the new configuration item belongs, and the server version information of the newly created configuration class is determined.

[0086] Method 2:

[0087] During the software system development phase, X configuration classes are created in advance. For each configuration item, the hash value of its configuration item identification information is calculated, and the hash value is divided by X to obtain the remainder. The configuration class corresponding to the remainder is used as the configuration class to which the configuration item belongs.

[0088] After the software system is launched, if there is a new configuration item, the hash value of the configuration item identification information of the new configuration item is calculated, and the remainder is obtained by dividing the hash value by X. The configuration class corresponding to the remainder is used as the configuration class to which the configuration item belongs, and the server version information of the configuration class is updated.

[0089] Method 3:

[0090] Configuration classes are divided according to the type of configuration items, for example, switch class, URL (Uniform Resource Locator) address class, display text class, etc. Each type corresponds to a configuration class.

[0091] After the software system is launched, if there is a new configuration item, the type of the new configuration item is determined, the configuration class corresponding to the type is used as the configuration class to which the configuration item belongs, and the server version information of the configuration class is updated.

[0092] Case 3: Deleting configuration items

[0093] When deleting a configuration item, determine the configuration class to which the configuration item belongs, delete the configuration item in the configuration class to which it belongs, and update the server version information of the configuration class to which it belongs.

[0094] Regardless of the above situations, when the configuration is updated, the configuration class will definitely change, which may be a new configuration class or an update of the server version information of the configuration class. On this basis, after receiving the configuration update request sent by the client, the server first determines whether the client attribute information of each configuration class in the client of the software system and the server attribute information of each configuration class in the server of the software system are consistent. If they are consistent, it means that there is no configuration update, and the update response can be directly returned. If they are inconsistent, it is further determined to update the configuration class.

[0095] The method for determining the updated configuration class will be described as follows in different cases:

[0096] Case 1: The server does not have a newly added configuration class

[0097] If the client version information of the first configuration class with the first configuration class identification information is different from the server version information of the first configuration class, it indicates that there is a configuration item update in the first configuration class. Then, the first configuration class is determined as the updated configuration class.

[0098] For example, if the client version information of configuration class section1 is 1001 and the server version information of configuration class section1 is 1002, it indicates that there is a configuration item update in configuration class section1. Then, configuration class section1 is determined as the updated configuration class.

[0099] Case 2: The server has a newly added configuration class

[0100] If the server has a second configuration class with the second configuration class identification information, and the configuration update request does not carry the second configuration class identification information (that is, the second configuration class does not exist in the client), it indicates that the second configuration class is a newly added configuration class. Then, the second configuration class is determined as the updated configuration class.

[0101] For example, if the server has a configuration class with the configuration class identification information section22, and the configuration update request does not carry section22, it indicates that the configuration class with the configuration class identification information section22 is a newly added configuration class. Then, the configuration class with the configuration class identification information section22 is determined as the updated configuration class.

[0102] After determining the updated configuration class, the server determines the updated configuration items in the updated configuration class.

[0103] In the case where the updated configuration class is not a newly added configuration class, the server obtains the client version information of the configuration items included in the updated configuration class. Specifically, when the updated configuration class is determined and it is not a newly added configuration class, a request can be sent to the client to obtain the client version information of the configuration items included in the updated configuration class. Or, the configuration item identification information and the client version information of each configuration item can be carried in the configuration update request sent by the client to the server.

[0104] If the client version information of the first configuration item with the first configuration item identification information is different from the server version information of the first configuration item, the first configuration item is determined as the updated configuration item.

[0105] For example, if the client version information of configuration item con1 is 11 and the server version information of configuration item con1 is 12, it indicates that the value of configuration item con1 has been updated. Then, configuration item con1 is determined as an updated configuration item.

[0106] In addition, the configuration item identifier information, server version information, and value of the updated configuration item can be added to the update list and marked as updated. In a possible implementation, the configuration class identifier information and server version information of the updated configuration class can also be added to the update list.

[0107] If there is a second configuration item with the second configuration item identifier information in the updated configuration class and there is no second configuration item with the second configuration item identifier information on the client side, then the second configuration item is determined as an updated configuration item.

[0108] For example, if there is a configuration item with the configuration item identifier information con23 in the updated configuration class and there is no configuration item with the configuration item identifier information con23 on the client side, it indicates that the configuration item with the configuration item identifier information con23 is a newly added configuration item. Then, the configuration item with the configuration item identifier information con23 is determined as an updated configuration item.

[0109] In addition, the configuration item identifier information, server version information, and value of the updated configuration item can be added to the update list and marked as newly added. In a possible implementation, the configuration class identifier information and server version information of the updated configuration class can also be added to the update list.

[0110] If there is no second configuration item with the third configuration item identifier information in the updated configuration class and there is a third configuration item with the third configuration item identifier information on the client side, it indicates that the third configuration item has been deleted. Then, the third configuration item is determined as an updated configuration item.

[0111] For example, if there is no configuration item with the configuration item identifier information con51 in the updated configuration class on the server side and there is a configuration item with the configuration item identifier information con51 on the client side, it indicates that the configuration item with the configuration item identifier information con51 is a deleted configuration item. Then, the configuration item with the configuration item identifier information con51 is determined as an updated configuration item.

[0112] In addition, the configuration item identifier information of the updated configuration item can be added to the update list and marked as deleted. In a possible implementation, the configuration class identifier information and server version information of the updated configuration class can also be added to the update list.

[0113] In the case where the updated configuration class is a newly added configuration class, all configuration items in the updated configuration class are determined as updated configuration items.

[0114] In addition, the configuration item identification information, server version information, and value of the updated configuration item can be added to the update list and marked as new. In a possible implementation, the configuration class identification information and server version information of the update configuration class can also be added to the update list.

[0115] Step 203, the server sends a configuration update response to the client.

[0116] Among them, the relevant information of the updated configuration item is carried in the configuration update response. In the case where the updated configuration item is a newly added configuration item or a configuration item with an updated value, the relevant information may include the updated configuration item identification information, server version information, and value; in the case where the updated configuration item is a deleted configuration item, the relevant information may include the updated configuration item identification information.

[0117] In implementation, the server can carry the above update list in the configuration update response and return it to the client. In addition, the server can also calculate the server cookies of the configuration and carry them in the configuration update response and return them to the client together.

[0118] After receiving the configuration update response, the client updates the local configuration items according to the update list carried therein. In addition, in the case where the server cookies of the configuration are carried in the configuration update response, the client can update the client cookies of the local configuration to the server cookies.

[0119] In addition, after receiving the server version information of the updated configuration class and the server version information of the updated configuration item, the client can update the client version information of the updated configuration class to the server version information of the updated configuration class, and update the client version information of the updated configuration item to the server version information of the updated configuration item.

[0120] All the above optional technical solutions can be combined arbitrarily to form alternative embodiments of the present disclosure, which will not be elaborated herein one by one.

[0121] In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, the configuration items of the software system are divided into configuration classes and managed in the form of configuration classes. When the server updates the configuration of the client, it first determines the updated configuration classes with updates, and further determines the updated configuration items with updates in the updated configuration classes. Furthermore, the server only needs to send the updated configuration items to the client, which can effectively reduce the bandwidth occupation of the client during configuration update.

[0122] Based on the same technical concept, an embodiment of the present application further provides a device for configuration update. The device is applied to the server side of a software system, and the software system further includes a client side, as Figure 3 shown. The device includes a receiving module 510, a determining module 520, and a sending module 530, where:

[0123] The receiving module 510 is configured to receive a configuration update request sent by the client side. The configuration update request carries client attribute information of each configuration class of the software system in the client side. Each configuration class includes at least one configuration item of the software system, and the client attribute information includes configuration class identification information of the configuration class and client version information of the configuration class;

[0124] The determining module 520 is configured to determine an updated configuration class in the configuration classes of the software system in the server side according to the client attribute information of each configuration class of the software system in the client side and the server attribute information of each configuration class of the software system in the server side, and determine updated configuration items among the configuration items included in the updated configuration class;

[0125] The sending module 530 is configured to send a configuration update response to the client side. The configuration update response carries server attribute information of the updated configuration class and configuration data of the updated configuration items.

[0126] In a possible implementation, the device further includes an update module, configured to:

[0127] When a first configuration item of the software system is updated, determine the first configuration class to which the first configuration item belongs;

[0128] Update the server version information of the first configuration class.

[0129] In a possible implementation, the determining module 520 is configured to:

[0130] If the client version information of a second configuration class with second configuration class identification information is different from the server version information of the second configuration class, determine the second configuration class as the updated configuration class.

[0131] In a possible implementation, the determining module 520 is configured to:

[0132] If the client version information of a first configuration item with first configuration item identification information is different from the server version information of the first configuration item, determine the first configuration item as the updated configuration item;

[0133] If there is a second configuration item with second configuration item identification information in the update configuration class, and the client does not have a second configuration item with the second configuration item identification information, then the second configuration item is determined as the update configuration item.

[0134] In a possible implementation, the determining module 520 is configured to:
