However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.
[0026] This embodiment provides a calibration method for a measuring device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0027] Step 101: In response to the calibration request of the current calibration cycle, perform calibration tasks on the metrology equipment to be calibrated.
[0028] It should be noted that metrological equipment refers to devices used to measure and record various physical quantities, such as thermometers, pressure gauges, and electronic scales. Metrological equipment calibration refers to determining the indication error of a metrological device under specified conditions by comparing it with standard equipment, and making necessary adjustments to ensure the accuracy and consistency of its measurement results.
[0029] In this embodiment, in response to a calibration request for the current calibration cycle, a preset calibration procedure and professional field are matched based on the equipment information carried in the calibration request. Based on the matching result, a calibration task for the metrology equipment is generated, reducing manual ledger management and the need for delegation applications to the management platform, thereby improving calibration efficiency.
[0030] For example, based on the equipment information of the measuring equipment, it is determined which professional field the calibration of the measuring equipment belongs to, as well as the technical procedures to be used during calibration, and each calibration item in the technical procedures is obtained, thereby generating a calibration task.
[0031] Furthermore, the calibration task is sent to the calibration equipment associated with the metrology equipment to control the calibration equipment to perform the calibration task on the metrology equipment and collect the calibration data of the metrology equipment in real time, thereby improving the automation level of the calibration process and reducing errors.
[0032] It should be noted that this embodiment pre-sets the association between the measuring equipment and the calibration equipment according to the calibration type and specific calibration items. For example, a factory may have multiple measuring devices, including pressure gauges, temperature sensors, and voltmeters. Pressure gauges need to be associated with a pressure calibrator; temperature sensors need to be associated with a temperature calibration furnace; and voltmeters need to be associated with a multi-functional calibrator. During the calibration process where the calibration equipment performs calibration tasks on the measuring equipment, the parts that cannot be automated require the cooperation of verification personnel. This embodiment will not elaborate on these parts; the goal is simply to ensure the calibration effect.
[0033] Step 102: Generate calibration results for the metrology equipment based on the calibration data, and generate a QR code based on the calibration results.
[0034] Step 103: In response to the QR code scanning operation, obtain the pickup user information of the pickup user terminal that triggered the scanning operation.
[0035] In this embodiment, after the calibration task of the measuring equipment is completed, the calibration result of the measuring equipment is generated based on the calibration data. Here, the calibration result can be presented in the form of a calibration report. Specifically, for example, a calibration report is a document on the measurement accuracy and performance of a device, including the device information of the calibrated measuring equipment, the calibration procedure and process, the standard equipment or method used, the measurement data generated by the measuring equipment during the calibration process, the uncertainty analysis results, when the calibration was performed, the current calibration cycle (i.e., the validity period of the current calibration), and whether the device is qualified after calibration, etc.
[0036] The uncertainty analysis results include the traceability calibration value of the measuring equipment and the maximum permissible expanded uncertainty. The traceability calibration value is the standard reference value obtained through calibration of the measuring equipment; it is the theoretical measurement value that the equipment should achieve under specific conditions, used to ensure that the equipment's measurement values are consistent with national / international standards (i.e., "traceability"). Expanded uncertainty represents the possible error range of the measuring equipment's measurement results, used to quantify the reliability of the measurement results and help users understand the accuracy and risks of the measurement values.
[0037] Furthermore, a QR code is generated based on the calibration results and displayed using a screen or other device. The user picking up the equipment (i.e., the user receiving the metrology equipment) scans the QR code using their terminal (i.e., the user's terminal). They then need to enter their own information (i.e., the user's information), such as name, contact information, and department, to confirm their identity and obtain a list of equipment users, facilitating the management of the metrology equipment. After filling in their information, the user can quickly obtain detailed calibration results from the metrology equipment, eliminating the need for tedious manual searching of paper reports or hierarchical retrieval within the system, greatly improving information retrieval efficiency. Here, the calibration results within the QR code can be encrypted or digitally signed to prevent information tampering and ensure the authenticity and reliability of the calibration results.
[0038] Step 104: During the use of the measuring equipment, read the on-site measurement data of the measuring equipment, adjust the current calibration cycle according to the on-site measurement data, and determine the calibration cycle for the next calibration of the measuring equipment.
[0039] In this embodiment, the calibration frequency is dynamically adjusted based on the performance of the measuring equipment in different environments to improve the equipment's adaptability, avoid over-calibration or under-calibration, save manpower, time and costs, and extend the service life of the measuring equipment.
[0040] Step 105: Send the calibration cycle for the next calibration to the pickup user terminal.
[0041] The pickup user terminal is determined based on the pickup user information entered in the QR code.
[0042] Step 106: If a confirmation signal for the calibration cycle of the next calibration is received from the user terminal picking up the item, a calibration request for the next calibration of the metering equipment is generated according to the calibration cycle of the next calibration.
[0043] In this embodiment, after receiving the calibration cycle for the next calibration of the metering device, the user can send a confirmation signal through their own terminal to directly confirm the adjustment of the next calibration cycle, automatically triggering the next calibration task. This eliminates the need to submit applications repeatedly, reduces reliance on traditional management platforms, and shortens the response time for calibration tasks.
[0044] For example, if the user replies "Y" in the text message, this embodiment will automatically accept the request and reissue the calibration task.
[0045] By employing the above technical solutions, this application provides a calibration method, apparatus, storage medium, and computer equipment for metrological equipment. By automatically generating calibration tasks and sending them to the calibration equipment, it eliminates the tedious steps of manual information entry and calibration task allocation, reducing human operation time, lowering the error rate, and improving overall calibration efficiency. After calibration, the user information is bound to a QR code to confirm the identity of the person receiving the metrological equipment, thereby pushing the calibration results to the user's terminal via the QR code and avoiding information delays. Furthermore, the actual measurement status of the metrological equipment is continuously monitored, and the calibration cycle for the next calibration is dynamically adjusted based on the on-site measurement data, avoiding over-calibration or under-calibration, saving manpower, time, and costs, and extending the service life of the metrological equipment. This allows for dynamic adjustment of the calibration frequency based on the performance of the metrological equipment in different environments, improving equipment adaptability. Simultaneously, users can directly confirm the calibration cycle adjustment through the terminal, automatically triggering the next calibration task without needing to repeatedly submit applications, reducing reliance on traditional management platforms, and shortening calibration task response time. This application forms a closed loop from initial calibration to recalibration. After the calibration cycle is adjusted, the calibration task can be automatically regenerated, ensuring that the metrological equipment is always in optimal condition and improving the long-term reliability of measurement data.
[0046] Furthermore, as a refinement and extension of the specific implementation of the above embodiments, in order to fully illustrate the specific implementation process of this embodiment, before the step of responding to the calibration request of the current calibration cycle, the method further includes: if a short-range wireless communication tag is detected within a preset short-range wireless communication range, obtaining device information recorded in the short-range wireless communication tag; determining the metering device to be calibrated based on the device information; matching the device information with preset calibration conditions; if the calibration environment data of the metering device meets the target calibration conditions matched by the device information, generating a calibration request based on the device information and the calibration environment data; if the calibration environment data does not meet the target calibration conditions, generating a first warning message based on the calibration environment data; and displaying the first warning message.
[0047] It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the surface of the metering device is pre-attached with an NFC (Near Field Communication) tag. The NFC tag serves as the unique identifier for the metering device, and is pre-loaded with device information such as the metering device number, manufacturer, and serial number, providing a basis for the management of the metering device.
[0048] In this embodiment, an external sensing device supporting NFC functionality is pre-installed. When an NFC tag is detected within the sensing device's preset short-range wireless communication range, it indicates that the sensing device and the metering device with the NFC tag are relatively close. The NFC tag can automatically establish a connection with the sensing device based on radio frequency identification technology and begin exchanging data. This allows the sensing device to quickly obtain the metering device's information without complex setup or operation steps, thus improving calibration efficiency.
[0049] Furthermore, based on the equipment information, the metering equipment that needs to be calibrated in the current calibration cycle is determined, and the equipment information is matched with the preset calibration conditions for different types of equipment to obtain the target calibration conditions that match the equipment information.
[0050] It should be noted that if the measuring device to be calibrated is the device being calibrated for the first time, the duration of the current calibration cycle is determined according to the preset calibration procedure.
[0051] Next, the calibration environment data of the calibration environment where the metrology equipment is located is obtained. If the calibration environment data meets the target calibration conditions, it means that the calibration environment meets the calibration requirements corresponding to the metrology equipment, and the calibration equipment can be controlled to calibrate the metrology equipment. Based on the equipment information and calibration environment data, a calibration request for the metrology equipment is generated. If the calibration environment data does not meet the target calibration conditions, it means that the calibration environment does not meet the calibration requirements and cannot calibrate the metrology equipment. Based on the calibration environment data, a first warning message is generated and displayed to prompt relevant personnel to make adjustments, ensure the compliance of the calibration environment, avoid invalid operations, intercept non-compliant operations in advance, and ensure the reliability of calibration data.
[0052] It should be noted that in this embodiment, each calibration device corresponds to a sensing device, and the corresponding sensing device and calibration device are located in the same calibration environment to improve calibration efficiency and ensure calibration effect.
[0053] For a specific example, the calibration device associated with the metrology device to be calibrated and the corresponding sensing device are located in the same laboratory. When the metrology device is placed within the preset short-range wireless communication range of the sensing device in the laboratory, it can wirelessly communicate with the NFC tag attached to the surface of the metrology device to obtain the device information. Next, the sensing device (such as a sensor installed in the laboratory) acquires calibration environment data within the laboratory, such as temperature and humidity data. Then, it finds the target calibration condition matching the metrology device among the preset calibration conditions for different types of equipment and compares the calibration environment data with the target calibration condition to determine whether the current environment meets the calibration requirements of the metrology device. If the current environment meets the calibration requirements, a calibration request is generated, for example, "Calibration environment meets requirements, start calibration of metrology device A." If the current environment does not meet the calibration requirements, a first warning message is generated, for example, "Temperature exceeds limit, calibration prohibited," and this first warning message is displayed through voice broadcast or flashing lights to prevent the calibration task from starting.
[0054] Here, after generating a calibration task based on a calibration request, the conveyor belt can be controlled to transport the measuring device from a preset short-range wireless communication range to the calibration device, thereby enabling the calibration device to automatically perform calibration tasks on the measuring device.
[0055] Furthermore, as a refinement and extension of the specific implementation of the above embodiments, in order to fully illustrate the specific implementation process of this embodiment, generating a QR code based on the calibration result specifically includes: if the calibration result conforms to the preset result, generating a QR code based on the calibration result; if the calibration result does not conform to the preset result, generating a second warning message based on the calibration result, and generating a QR code based on the second warning message.
[0056] In this embodiment, different QR codes are generated based on whether the calibration result is qualified (i.e., the preset result) to ensure the reliability of the calibration.
[0057] For example, if the calibration result is satisfactory, a green QR code is generated based on the calibration result. After the user scans the code and enters their information, the calibration report is displayed. If the calibration result is unsatisfactory, a red QR code is generated. After the user scans the code and enters their information, a second warning message is displayed. This second warning message is generated based on the calibration result, for example, indicating that the sensor drift has exceeded the limit, to prompt the user to repair the measuring equipment and prevent its misuse.
[0058] Furthermore, as a refinement and extension of the specific implementation of the above embodiments, in order to fully illustrate the specific implementation process of this embodiment, the current calibration cycle is adjusted according to the on-site measurement data to determine the calibration cycle for the next calibration of the measuring equipment. Specifically, this includes: determining the measurement bias value of the measuring equipment based on the average value of the on-site measurement data within a preset monitoring period in the current calibration cycle and the traceability calibration value in the calibration results; determining the experimental standard deviation of the on-site measurement data based on the average value; determining the repeatability error rate of the measuring equipment based on the experimental standard deviation and the expanded uncertainty in the calibration results; if the repeatability error rate is greater than a preset threshold, determining the calibration cycle for the next calibration based on a first preset shortening coefficient and the current calibration cycle, and sending a first prompt message to the pickup user terminal, the first prompt message being determined based on the predicted monitoring cycle and the repeatability error rate; if the repeatability error rate is less than or equal to the preset threshold, determining the calibration cycle for the next calibration based on the measurement bias value.
[0059] In this embodiment, on-site measurement data of the measuring equipment within the current calibration cycle are collected periodically. The traceability calibration value is a calibrated standard reference value used to measure the accuracy of the measuring equipment. Expanded uncertainty is the range of uncertainty for the measurement result, used to determine whether the measuring equipment is within its normal operating range. Using both in combination, the performance of the measuring equipment is statistically quantified, ensuring the scientific validity of the calibration cycle adjustments.
[0060] Furthermore, as a refinement and extension of the specific implementation of the above embodiments, in order to fully illustrate the specific implementation process of this embodiment, determining the calibration cycle for the next calibration based on the measurement bias value specifically includes: determining the standard deviation of the average value based on the number of on-site measurement data within a preset monitoring period; determining the target statistic of the measurement bias value based on the standard deviation of the average value; determining the confidence interval of the measurement bias value based on the preset significance level and number corresponding to the target statistic; if the measurement bias value is not within the confidence interval, determining the calibration cycle for the next calibration based on a second preset shortening coefficient and the current calibration cycle, and sending a second prompt message to the pickup user terminal, the second prompt message being determined based on the predicted monitoring period and the measurement bias value; if the measurement bias value is within the confidence interval, determining the calibration cycle for the next calibration based on a preset extension coefficient and the calibration cycle.
[0061] In this embodiment, hypothesis testing is used to ensure the statistical rigor of the bias analysis and improve the reliability of the calibration cycle adjustment.
[0062] Specifically, real-time data from the actual use of the measuring equipment during the current calibration cycle is acquired periodically to obtain on-site measurement data of the measuring equipment within a preset monitoring period of the current calibration cycle, reflecting its performance changes. The sample size of the on-site measurement data must be greater than or equal to 25 to ensure statistical significance for the analysis. Furthermore, the on-site measurement data carries location information to pinpoint the actual location of the measuring equipment in use.
[0063] Next, the average value of the field measurement data is calculated to reflect the central tendency of the data.
[0064] For example, the average value is calculated according to the following formula. :
[0065] =
[0066] in, This is a sample from the on-site measurement data. This represents the number of samples in the field measurement data.
[0067] Then, based on the average value and the traceability calibration value in the calibration results, the measurement bias value of the measuring equipment is calculated. The measurement bias value represents the systematic deviation between the average value of the field measurement and the calibration reference value, and quantifies the overall offset of the measuring equipment.
[0068] For example, the measurement bias value is calculated according to the following formula. B :
[0069] B= -y s
[0070] in, y s This is the calibration value for traceability.
[0071] Here, if B If the value is not equal to 0, it indicates that there is a systematic error in the measuring equipment, which requires further analysis.
[0072] Furthermore, based on the average value, the experimental standard deviation of the field measurement data is calculated, and the repeatability error rate of the measuring equipment is calculated.
[0073] For example, the experimental standard deviation is calculated according to the following formula. s g :
[0074] s g =
[0075] The repeatability error rate (%) is calculated using the following formula. EV :
[0076] % EV = s g / USL ×100%
[0077] Here, the experimental standard deviation reflects the dispersion of the field measurement data, i.e., random error. The repeatability error rate measures the proportion of random error to the maximum permissible uncertainty, reflecting the consistency of measurement results from multiple measurements under the same conditions, and is used to assess the repeatability performance of the measuring equipment.
[0078] Furthermore, if the repeatability error rate exceeds a preset threshold, for example, % EV A return of >10% indicates an abnormality in the repeatability of the measuring equipment, suggesting a significant random error. The equipment requires immediate calibration to prevent production accidents caused by data deviations. Furthermore, the calibration cycle should be shortened, and the calibration frequency increased to prevent error accumulation due to prolonged periods without calibration.
[0079] For example, based on the predicted end time of the monitoring cycle and the repeatability error rate, a first prompt message is generated and sent to the user's terminal to prompt the user to immediately stop using the metering equipment and calibrate it. Furthermore, the current calibration cycle of the metering equipment is shortened according to a first preset shortening factor to obtain the calibration cycle for the next calibration.
[0080] For example, the initial notification message can be pushed to the user's terminal via SMS or an app. The content of the initial notification message could be:
[0081] "
Urgent Calibration Notice
[0082] Device ID: PS-2023-001
[0083] Monitoring period: December 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023
[0084] Repeatability error rate: 12% (threshold: 10%)
[0085] An abnormal device performance has been detected. Please stop using it immediately and perform calibration!
[0086] In this case, the first preset shortening factor can be set to 50%, thereby halving the current calibration cycle of the measuring equipment according to the first preset shortening factor, and using the halved measuring cycle as the next calibration cycle of the measuring equipment. That is, the next calibration cycle of the measuring equipment can be shortened from the original 12 months to 6 months, thereby increasing the monitoring of the measuring equipment.
[0087] Furthermore, if the repeatability error rate is less than or equal to a preset threshold, for example, % EV ≤10% indicates that the repeatability of the measuring equipment is good and acceptable. Continue to calculate the standard deviation of the mean, and based on the standard deviation of the mean, calculate the t-statistic of the measurement bias (i.e., the target statistic). The t-statistic standardizes the measurement bias value and is used to test whether it deviates significantly from zero, that is, whether there is a statistically significant bias.
[0088] For example, the standard deviation of the mean is calculated according to the following formula. σ b
[0089] σ b =
[0090] The t-statistic is calculated using the following formula:
[0091] t=
[0092] Furthermore, the confidence interval for the measurement bias value is determined by the preset significance level corresponding to the target statistic and the number of field measurement data within the preset monitoring period.
[0093] For example, a preset salience level α A value of 0.05 corresponds to a 95% confidence level. Degrees of freedom υ=n- 1. The critical value can be obtained by consulting the t-distribution table or statistical software. t υ,1-α / 2 This allows for the construction of a 95% confidence interval for the measured offset value. B-σ b · t υ,1-α / 2 B+σ b ·t υ,1-α / 2 The confidence interval represents the possible range of the true bias value at a 95% confidence level. If the confidence interval includes zero, the bias is not significant.
[0094] Furthermore, if the calculated measurement offset value meets the confidence interval, it indicates that the offset of the measuring equipment is significant and immediate calibration is required to avoid accidents. Additionally, the calibration cycle of the measuring equipment should be shortened, and the calibration frequency should be increased to prevent error accumulation due to prolonged lack of calibration.
[0095] For example, based on the predicted end time of the monitoring cycle and the measurement offset value, a second prompt message is generated and sent to the user's terminal to prompt the user to immediately stop using the metering equipment and calibrate it. Furthermore, the current calibration cycle of the metering equipment is shortened according to a second preset shortening factor to obtain the calibration cycle for the next calibration.
[0096] For example, the second notification message can be pushed to the user's terminal via SMS or an app. The content of the second notification message could be:
[0097] "
Urgent Calibration Notice
[0098] Device ID: PS-2023-001
[0099] Monitoring period: December 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023
[0100] Measurement offset: 2.064 (confidence interval: 0.0093, 0.1093)
[0101] An abnormal device performance has been detected. Please stop using it immediately and perform calibration!
[0102] In this case, the second preset shortening factor can be set to 60%, thereby shortening the current calibration cycle of the measuring equipment according to the second preset shortening factor, and obtaining the next calibration cycle of the measuring equipment. That is, the next calibration cycle of the measuring equipment can be shortened from the original 12 months to 7.2 months, thereby increasing the monitoring of the measuring equipment.
[0103] Furthermore, if the measurement bias value is within the confidence interval, it indicates that the measuring equipment is performing well and stably. The calibration cycle can be appropriately extended according to the preset extension factor to obtain the calibration cycle for the next calibration, thus avoiding over-calibration that wastes manpower and resources and saving resources.
[0104] For example, the preset extension factor can be set to 5%.
[0105] It is worth mentioning that if the metering equipment malfunctions within the preset monitoring period, this embodiment will determine the specific calibration time for the next calibration based on the end time of the preset monitoring period in which the malfunction occurred and the calibration period for the next calibration. The specific calibration time for the next calibration will be included in the calibration period for the next calibration, so that the user picking up the item will know the specific calibration arrangements when receiving the calibration period for the next calibration, and can make reasonable time arrangements.
[0106] For example, the calibration cycle for the next calibration can be integrated into a single notification message and pushed to the user's terminal via SMS or mobile app. For instance,
[0107] "

[0111] The next calibration cycle has been shortened from 12 months to 6 months. Or the next calibration cycle has been extended from 6 months to 12 months.

[0113] Please arrange for the equipment to be sent for inspection in advance to avoid affecting production.
[0114] Furthermore, as a refinement and extension of the specific implementation of the above embodiments, in order to fully illustrate the specific implementation process of this embodiment, a calibration request for the next calibration of the metering device is generated according to the calibration cycle of the next calibration. Specifically, this includes: determining a reminder time based on the calibration time in the calibration cycle of the next calibration, and generating a reminder message; if the current time is the reminder time, sending the reminder message to the pickup user terminal; if the current time is the calibration time, and a short-range wireless communication tag corresponding to the metering device is detected within a preset short-range wireless communication range, generating a calibration request for the next calibration of the metering device; if the current time is the calibration time, and no short-range wireless communication tag corresponding to the metering device is detected within the preset short-range wireless communication range, generating a third prompt message, and sending the third prompt message to the pickup user terminal.
[0115] In this embodiment, when a confirmation signal is received from the user terminal, it indicates that the user agrees to the arrangement of the calibration cycle for the next calibration. Therefore, a calibration request for the next calibration of the metering equipment is generated according to the calibration cycle for the next calibration.
[0116] Specifically, the reminder time is determined based on the calibration time in the next calibration cycle, and a reminder message is generated.
[0117] For example, a reminder can be sent a few days in advance, and the reminder message can be:
[0118]
Calibration Reminder
[0119] Device ID: TS-2023-008
[0120] Calibration date: 2024-01-31
[0121] Please prepare the equipment for testing in advance to ensure the calibration task is completed on time!
[0122] Furthermore, if the current time is the reminder time, a reminder message is sent to the user's terminal for package pickup. If the current time is the calibration time, and a short-range wireless communication tag corresponding to the metering device is detected within the preset short-range wireless communication range, it indicates that the metering device has been placed at the designated calibration location on time. Therefore, a calibration request for the next calibration of the metering device is generated. It should be noted that generating the calibration request for the next calibration of the metering device also requires determining the calibration environment data of the calibration environment, which is the same as the process for generating the calibration request described above, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.
[0123] If the current time is the calibration time, and no short-range wireless communication tag corresponding to the metering device is detected within the preset short-range wireless communication range, it indicates that the metering device has not been placed in the designated calibration location and may still be in use on the production line, which could easily cause an accident. In this case, a third prompt message is generated and sent to the user terminal for pickup.
[0124] For example, the third prompt message could be:
[0125] "[Calibration task error]"
[0126] Device ID: TS-2023-008
[0127] Calibration date: 2024-01-31
[0128] "No device detected. Please send it for inspection immediately!"
[0129] In this embodiment, the entire process from user confirmation to task generation, reminders, and execution is automated, reducing manual intervention. Users are reminded in advance to prepare and avoid forgetting, and the equipment status is monitored in real time on the calibration day to ensure task execution. An alarm is immediately triggered if the equipment is not in place to prevent production interruptions or data loss due to delays.
[0130] Furthermore, as a refinement and extension of the specific implementation of the above embodiments, in order to fully illustrate the specific implementation process of this embodiment, the metrology equipment calibration method further includes: receiving a query request; matching the equipment location information carried by the on-site measurement data of the metrology equipment with the query range in the query request; identifying the metrology equipment whose equipment location information matches the query range as the target equipment; comparing the time of receiving the query request with the current calibration cycle of the target equipment to generate calibration status information of the target equipment; and sending the calibration status information of the target equipment to the query user terminal corresponding to the query request.
[0131] In this embodiment, a user sends a query request to inquire about the calibration status of a metrology device. Upon receiving the query request, the system filters out target devices within the specified query range. Based on the time of the query request and the latest effective calibration cycle of the target device, the system determines the calibration status information of the target device (e.g., normal, about to expire, expired). The system then sends the calibration status information of the matching target device to the terminal corresponding to the query request.
[0132] For example, when a user is inspecting a certain area, they can open a mobile app and send a query request. In this embodiment, the calibration status information of the metering equipment currently in use in that area can be quickly retrieved based on the query request. If one of the metering devices shows that its calibration status is about to expire, the user can mark the device for future monitoring.
[0133] It is worth mentioning that the executing entity of this application can be a server. The server can be configured as an independent physical server, or as a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers. It can also be configured as a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
