Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart park technology, and in particular to a smart digital platform and a smart park middleware management system. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, park management is gradually shifting from traditional manual management to intelligent and information-based management. As a crucial support for modern park operations, park management systems aim to achieve real-time monitoring and efficient management of facilities, environment, security, and other aspects within the park by integrating various management functions. These systems typically include security monitoring systems, energy management systems, property management systems, and equipment maintenance systems, which together constitute the core framework of park management.

[0003] However, in current park management practices, various subsystems are often independent and managed separately. This management model prevents data from being transmitted and shared between subsystems, creating data silos. This not only wastes information resources but also limits the overall efficiency of park management. Therefore, how to break down the barriers between systems and achieve data interconnection has become an urgent problem to be solved in park management systems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a smart digital platform and a smart park middleware management system to solve the shortcomings of existing technologies where data cannot be transmitted and shared between various subsystems of park management.

[0005] This invention provides a smart digital platform, comprising a system device layer, an edge computing layer, and a data center layer, wherein the system device layer is connected to the edge computing layer, and the edge computing layer is connected to the data center layer; The system device layer is used to collect IoT data from various subsystems in the park and transmit the IoT data to the edge computing layer via the local area network; The edge computing layer is used to process the received IoT data and send the processed IoT data to the data center layer; The data center layer is used to store and analyze the processed IoT data, and to issue instructions to the edge computing layer based on the analysis results; The edge computing layer is also used to control and manage the system device layer based on the instructions.

[0006] According to the intelligent digital platform provided by the present invention, it further includes an integration middle platform and a business middle platform; The integrated platform is used to receive data from the edge computing layer and to aggregate and integrate the data; The business platform is used to build various business applications for the park based on the data aggregated and integrated by the integration platform.

[0007] According to a smart digital platform provided by the present invention, the data center layer and the business middle platform interact through a RESTful API to provide data and interface capabilities to the business middle platform.

[0008] According to a smart digital platform provided by the present invention, the various business applications of the park include at least access control management, visitor management, video surveillance, elevator control, parking management, lighting control, energy consumption monitoring, building equipment management, and conference room management.

[0009] According to a smart digital platform provided by the present invention, the various business applications of the park also include operation and maintenance business applications. The operation and maintenance business applications perform operation and maintenance management of the park by mining and analyzing historical operation and maintenance data and based on the analysis results.

[0010] According to a smart digital platform provided by the present invention, the subsystems of the park include at least an access control system, a visitor system, a video surveillance system, an elevator control system, a parking management system, a lighting management system, an energy consumption management system, a building automation system, and a conference room management system.

[0011] According to the present invention, the intelligent digital platform integrates system equipment integration, business integration, and portal integration. The system equipment integration refers to the integration of various subsystems and terminal devices in the park. The business integration refers to the integration of business and data between various subsystems in the park. The portal integration refers to the integration of various business applications in the park.

[0012] According to a smart digital platform provided by the present invention, the integration framework for business integration supports at least three integration methods, namely API integration, database integration, and message queue integration.

[0013] According to a smart digital platform provided by the present invention, the portal integration launches the integrated business applications through single sign-on or open authorization authentication methods.

[0014] The present invention also provides a smart park middleware management system, including a hyperconverged infrastructure platform and a smart digital platform as described above; The hyperconverged infrastructure platform is used to provide underlying hardware resources and infrastructure services for the smart digital platform based on private cloud technology, distributed processing technology, virtualization technology, and cluster technology. The intelligent digital platform is used to apply the resources and services provided by the hyperconverged infrastructure platform to provide data and service support for the integration of park businesses.

[0015] The intelligent digital platform and intelligent park middleware management system provided by this invention, through a hierarchical design of system device layer, edge computing layer, and data center layer, enables the system to centrally process IoT data from various subsystems within the park. This allows data that was originally scattered across various subsystems to be uniformly collected, processed, transmitted, and stored, effectively breaking down data silos and achieving interconnectivity between subsystems, providing strong support for intelligent park management. Furthermore, the edge computing layer not only processes IoT data from the system device layer but also sends the processed data to the data center layer, while simultaneously receiving instructions from the data center layer and controlling and managing the system device layer accordingly. This design allows data to be preprocessed and filtered at the edge computing layer during transmission, reducing the burden on the data center layer, improving data transmission efficiency, and enhancing data security. Attached Figure Description

[0016] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in this invention or related technologies, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments or related technologies will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are some embodiments of this invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the smart park middleware management system provided by the present invention; Figure 2 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of the intelligent digital platform provided by the present invention; Figure 3 This is the second structural schematic diagram of the intelligent digital platform provided by the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0019] In current park management practices, various subsystems are often managed independently. While this model ensures the independence and professionalism of each subsystem to some extent, it also brings significant drawbacks. First, due to the lack of effective data transmission mechanisms between systems, data silos are formed, leading to a waste of information resources and limiting the overall efficiency of park management. For example, while security monitoring systems can monitor park security in real time, they cannot share data with the energy management system, thus failing to adjust energy supply strategies based on pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Second, separate management means that collaboration between different subsystems requires manual intervention, increasing management costs and reducing efficiency. For instance, when the equipment maintenance system detects a malfunction in a facility, manual notification to the property management system is necessary for repairs, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and may lead to greater losses due to delayed information transmission. Furthermore, due to the lack of comprehensive and accurate data support, management often lacks sufficient basis for decision-making, potentially leading to blind and uncertain decisions that affect the long-term development of the park. Furthermore, users within the park may need to switch between different systems to obtain the services they require, which not only increases the complexity of user operations but may also affect the user experience due to inconsistent information.

[0020] In response, this invention provides a smart digital platform and a smart park middleware management system. By integrating multi-source data and based on a unified architecture and platform, it supports the collaborative construction and operation of various business systems, realizes system interconnection, data sharing, business collaboration, and efficiency improvement, thereby overcoming the above-mentioned defects.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the smart park middleware management system provided by the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a hyperconverged infrastructure platform 100 and a smart digital platform 200; The hyperconverged infrastructure platform 100 is used to provide underlying hardware resources and infrastructure services for the smart digital platform 200 based on private cloud technology, distributed processing technology, virtualization technology and cluster technology. The intelligent digital platform 200 is used to apply the resources and services provided by the hyperconverged infrastructure platform 100 to provide data and service support for the integration of park businesses.

[0022] It should be noted that the smart park middleware management system is the core of a smart park. It refers to the central platform responsible for integrating and managing various data and resources during the construction of a smart park. By integrating technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, it enables interconnectivity among various devices, systems, and applications within the park, providing functions such as data sharing and intelligent decision-making to support the park's operation and management.

[0023] Specifically, the smart park middleware management system comprises two parts: a hyperconverged infrastructure platform 100 and a smart digital platform 200, which are interdependent and supportive of each other. The hyperconverged infrastructure platform 100 provides the underlying hardware resources and infrastructure services for the smart digital platform 200, including high-speed, reliable, and secure storage and computing services. The smart digital platform 200, on the other hand, is a collection of digital platform technologies and products / services built upon this foundation. It utilizes the resources and services provided by the hyperconverged infrastructure platform 100 to further provide data access, data analysis and storage, general tools, business logic services, and development services, supporting the integration of park businesses. Therefore, the hyperconverged infrastructure platform 100 is the foundation and support of the smart digital platform 200, while the smart digital platform 200 is the application layer built upon this foundation; together, they constitute the core of the smart park middleware management system.

[0024] Understandably, a hyperconverged infrastructure platform is an integrated IT (Internet Technology) infrastructure platform that provides high-speed, reliable, and secure storage and computing services based on private cloud, distributed processing, virtualization, and clustering technologies. Here, technologies such as private cloud, distributed processing, virtualization, and clustering ensure that the platform can efficiently manage and utilize resources. Furthermore, the platform adopts a hyperconverged architecture, breaking down siloed infrastructure construction and highly integrating computing, network, and storage resources, thereby simplifying data processing logic and achieving high efficiency and scalability.

[0025] A smart digital platform is a collection of digital platform technologies and products / services built on a hyperconverged infrastructure platform. It can include business support service components, business integration components, IoT management components, video transcoding components, etc., providing data access, data analysis and storage, general tools, business logic services, and development services for park business integration. Here, the business support service components provide basic business support functions, such as user authentication and access control; the business integration components can integrate different business systems or applications to achieve data sharing and exchange; the IoT management components are responsible for connecting and managing IoT devices, enabling data collection, transmission, and analysis; and the video transcoding components are used to convert video data into different formats or resolutions to adapt to different devices and network conditions.

[0026] It should be understood that the aforementioned data access refers to the intelligent digital platform providing multiple data access methods, such as APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and database connections, to ensure the smooth flow of various data into the platform. The aforementioned data analysis and storage refers to the platform's ability to analyze and store data to support various business needs and decision-making processes. The aforementioned general tools refer to the platform's provision of a series of commonly used tools, such as data visualization and report generation, to simplify data processing and analysis. The aforementioned business logic services and development services refer to the platform's provision of necessary tools and support to developers to help them build and deploy various business applications.

[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, a hyperconverged infrastructure platform integrates computing, network, and storage resources, eliminating the problem of isolated infrastructure construction, thereby simplifying system complexity and improving overall system stability and reliability. By employing distributed processing and virtualization technologies, the system can efficiently process data from various subsystems within the park and store it in a reliable and secure storage system. This design ensures data real-time performance and accuracy, providing strong support for intelligent management of the park. Furthermore, due to the hyperconverged architecture, new hardware resources can be easily added when business expands or more resources are needed, without complex system reconstruction or upgrades. This scalability ensures the system can meet the ever-growing business needs of the park.

[0028] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 2 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of the intelligent digital platform provided by the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent digital platform 200 includes a system device layer 210, an edge computing layer 220, and a data center layer 230. The system device layer 210 is connected to the edge computing layer 220, and the edge computing layer 220 is connected to the data center layer 230. The system device layer 210 is used to collect IoT data from various subsystems in the park and transmit the IoT data to the edge computing layer 220 via the local area network. The edge computing layer 220 is used to process the received IoT data and send the processed IoT data to the data center layer 230; The data center layer 230 is used to store and analyze the processed IoT data, and to issue instructions to the edge computing layer 220 based on the analysis results; The edge computing layer 220 is also used to control and manage the system device layer 210 based on the instructions.

[0029] It should be noted that the smart digital platform aims to enable data interoperability between various subsystems within the park, thereby improving the overall operational efficiency and management level of the park. Therefore, the platform adopts a three-layer architecture of "cloud-edge-device". The structure of the platform will be described in detail below.

[0030] Specifically, the smart digital platform can include a system device layer, an edge computing layer, and a data center layer. The system device layer, or edge side, refers to various systems and devices within the park, such as access control systems, visitor systems, video surveillance subsystems, and elevator control systems. These form the foundation for digital management of the smart park and are responsible for data collection and initial processing. The edge computing layer, or edge side, refers to the implementation of edge computing gateways and artificial intelligence technologies at the device level, responsible for preliminary data processing, edge management, and intelligent empowerment. The data center layer, or cloud side, refers to the data center itself, whether public or local, providing powerful computing and storage capabilities and responsible for data storage, processing, analysis, and application. In this embodiment of the invention, the smart digital platform includes an overall architecture from edge-side systems and devices and edge-side edge computing gateways to cloud-side data centers. Based on the underlying resources provided by a hyper-converged infrastructure platform, it integrates various technologies and services to achieve digital management of the smart park.

[0031] The system device layer connects to the edge computing layer, enabling data transmission via a local area network (LAN). Collected IoT data is sent to the edge computing layer for initial processing. Located between the system device layer and the data center layer, the edge computing layer employs converged access technology and IoT (Internet of Things) access technology to achieve rapid access and transmission of edge data. Specifically, the edge computing layer receives data from the system device layer, processes it, and sends it to the data center layer. Simultaneously, the edge computing layer can receive instructions from the data center layer to control and manage various subsystems and devices within the system device layer. Furthermore, the edge computing layer can iteratively update local software services to ensure system continuity and reliability. The data center layer receives data from the edge computing layer and performs in-depth analysis and processing. It also sends instructions to the edge computing layer to control and manage edge and end-device devices. Through the cloud services provided by the data center layer, the deployment and innovation of smart park applications can be supported on the cloud, enabling application sharing and reducing park hardware maintenance costs. In addition, the data center layer is responsible for monitoring the runtime status of the Kubernetes (k8s) container service in the edge computing layer, managing its registration and activation, and achieving cloud-edge collaboration.

[0032] Understandably, after analyzing the data, the data center layer sends instructions to the edge computing layer. The edge computing layer then controls and manages the system devices based on these instructions, forming a closed-loop control system. This data analysis-based feedback mechanism enables the various subsystems to coordinate and cooperate with each other, achieving true interconnectivity. Furthermore, the data center layer can centrally store and deeply analyze the processed IoT data, which helps park managers extract valuable information from large amounts of data and obtain an overall understanding of the park's operation, providing decision support.

[0033] The intelligent digital platform provided in this invention employs a hierarchical design comprising a system device layer, an edge computing layer, and a data center layer. This allows the system to centrally process IoT data from various subsystems within the park, enabling unified collection, processing, transmission, and storage of data that was previously scattered across different subsystems. This effectively breaks down data silos, achieving interconnectivity between subsystems and providing strong support for intelligent park management. The edge computing layer not only processes IoT data from the system device layer but also sends the processed data to the data center layer. Simultaneously, it receives instructions from the data center layer and controls and manages the system device layer accordingly. This design allows data to be preprocessed and filtered at the edge computing layer during transmission, reducing the burden on the data center layer, improving data transmission efficiency, and enhancing data security.

[0034] Furthermore, due to its modular design, the intelligent digital platform allows for seamless connectivity between different layers via standard interfaces, resulting in excellent scalability and compatibility. When the park needs to add new subsystems or update existing ones, only the configurations of the system equipment layer, edge computing layer, and data center layer need to be adjusted accordingly, without requiring a large-scale overhaul of the entire system.

[0035] Based on any of the above embodiments Figure 3 This is the second structural schematic diagram of the intelligent digital platform provided by the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the intelligent digital platform 200 also includes an integration platform 240 and a business platform 250; The integration platform 240 is used to receive data from the edge computing layer 220 and aggregate and integrate the data; the business platform 250 is used to build various business applications for the park based on the data aggregated and integrated by the integration platform 240.

[0036] It should be noted that the smart digital platform can also include an integration platform and a business platform. The integration platform is an intermediate layer platform for data integration, system interconnection, and service sharing, which can provide stable, reliable, and efficient data support for the business platform. The business platform is a platform for building, managing, and operating various business applications in the park.

[0037] Specifically, various subsystems and devices on the edge side can connect to the edge gateway on the edge side via IoT protocols. The edge gateway then connects to the IoT platform, and the data is aggregated to the integration platform, enabling seamless IoT data flow from the edge to the device. The video surveillance system on the edge side can connect to the video platform via RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) video streams, and then aggregate the data to the integration platform. The integration platform can aggregate data from different systems, formats, and protocols, and perform cleaning, transformation, and standardization processing on the aggregated data to ensure data quality and consistency, thereby providing the business platform with readable data and usable API capabilities. The business platform can then use this data and capabilities, combined with front-end components, to build various applications and business logic for the park, such as access control, visitor management, and video surveillance. It should be understood that front-end components refer to reusable UI (User Interface) and logic code blocks used to describe a part of the user interface.

[0038] Based on any of the above embodiments, the data center layer 230 and the business middle platform 250 interact through a Restful API to provide data and interface capabilities to the business middle platform 250.

[0039] Specifically, in a cloud computing environment, data transfer and interface calls between the cloud-side data center and the business middleware can be achieved through a specific communication method (i.e., RESTful API). Here, RESTful API is a software architectural style used to build distributed systems. It is based on the HTTP protocol, allowing users to communicate between the client and the server.

[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, in the interaction between the data center layer and the business middle platform, the Restful API provides a standardized communication method, enabling the data center layer to provide data and interface capabilities to the business middle platform, thereby realizing the processing of business logic and the storage of data.

[0041] Based on any of the above embodiments, each subsystem of the park includes at least an access control system, a visitor system, a video surveillance system, an elevator control system, a parking management system, a lighting management system, an energy consumption management system, a building automation system, and a conference room management system. Accordingly, each system has its corresponding applications. The various business applications in the park include at least access control, visitor management, video surveillance, elevator control, parking management, lighting control, energy consumption monitoring, building equipment management, and conference room management.

[0042] Specifically, the access control system is the first line of defense for park security, primarily used for entry and exit management. It verifies the identity of personnel and vehicles entering and exiting the park through methods such as card swiping, passwords, and biometric identification (e.g., facial recognition), ensuring park security. The visitor management system mainly provides services such as visitor identity verification, reservation, navigation, and monitoring. Visitors can reserve visit times and locations through the system, which verifies visitor identity, provides navigation services to help visitors quickly find their destination, and records visitor movements through video surveillance, ensuring park security. The video surveillance system is mainly used for real-time monitoring, recording, and image acquisition during alarms within the park. By installing cameras and sensors, it provides 24 / 7, continuous, and comprehensive monitoring of key areas within the park, enabling information sharing between various systems and providing strong support for security work. The elevator control system is mainly used for the coordinated control of elevators, improving the safety and convenience of elevator use. The system uses hardware devices such as programmable logic controllers to achieve automatic elevator control and fault monitoring. Parking management systems are primarily used for parking management within the park. The system utilizes technologies such as license plate recognition and mobile payment to achieve rapid vehicle identification and automatic release, improving management efficiency and user experience. Simultaneously, the system can monitor available parking spaces in real time and provide guidance information to drivers, reducing time spent searching for their vehicles. Lighting management systems are mainly used for lighting control within the park. Through intelligent lighting systems, they achieve energy conservation, reduced consumption, and a comfortable and safe lighting environment. The system can automatically adjust brightness based on factors such as weather, time, and pedestrian flow, and can remotely adjust lighting effects in real time. Energy management systems are primarily used for energy consumption monitoring and management within the park. By monitoring facilities and equipment in real time, it collects and analyzes large amounts of energy consumption data, helping park managers develop reasonable energy management strategies, improve energy utilization efficiency, and reduce energy waste. Building automation systems are mainly used for the automated control and management of building equipment, including air conditioning, ventilation, water supply and drainage, and fire protection equipment. Through intelligent control and management, the system improves equipment operating efficiency and management efficiency, reducing maintenance costs. Meeting room management systems are primarily used for meeting room reservation and management within the park. The reservation system enables online reservation, approval, and inquiry functions for meeting rooms, improving the utilization and management efficiency of meeting rooms.

[0043] In this embodiment of the invention, the various subsystems of the park together constitute the core architecture of the smart park. Through these systems and corresponding applications, a safe, comfortable, and convenient environment and services can be provided for the people in the park.

[0044] Based on any of the above embodiments, the various business applications of the park also include operation and maintenance business applications, which perform operation and maintenance management of the park by mining and analyzing historical operation and maintenance data and based on the analysis results.

[0045] It should be noted that operations and maintenance (O&M) business applications refer to a series of O&M-related applications and tools developed in smart parks to ensure the normal operation and efficient management of the park. These applications can include multiple aspects, from infrastructure monitoring and fault handling to security management and performance optimization, to ensure the continuous stability of the park's business systems and processes, while supporting continuous growth.

[0046] Specifically, the operations and maintenance (O&M) applications can monitor various systems and equipment within the park in real time, including networks, servers, storage, and applications, ensuring their normal operation and compliance with expected performance metrics. When a system or device within the park malfunctions, the O&M applications can respond quickly and automatically troubleshoot and restore the system. Through automated fault handling processes, O&M personnel can more quickly locate problems and take appropriate solutions, thereby reducing the impact of failures on park operations. Furthermore, the O&M applications can also perform performance analysis and optimization of the park's systems and equipment to improve their operational efficiency and response speed.

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, by providing operation and maintenance business applications, not only can the park achieve efficient operation and maintenance management, but it can also improve the park's security and stability, providing a strong guarantee for the park's sustainable development. Through the mining and analysis of historical operation and maintenance data, and with the help of big data analytics and AI (Artificial Intelligence) large-scale model analysis technologies, the operation and maintenance business applications can further optimize the park's operation and maintenance processes and improve efficiency, making the park's operation and maintenance management more intelligent and efficient.

[0048] Based on any of the above embodiments, the integration content of the smart digital platform includes system equipment integration, business integration, and portal integration. The system equipment integration refers to the integration of various subsystems and terminal devices in the park. The business integration refers to the integration of business and data between various subsystems in the park. The portal integration refers to the integration of various business applications in the park.

[0049] It should be noted that in the integrated architecture, the core integration of the smart park mainly involves the unified integration management of the following three aspects: system and device integration, business integration, and portal integration. The integration architecture of system and device integration, business integration, and portal integration described in this embodiment of the invention is complementary to the "cloud-edge-device" layered architecture introduced in the above embodiments. The "cloud-edge-device" layered architecture describes a new information infrastructure architecture based on cloud computing, edge computing, and terminal devices, while system and device integration, business integration, and portal integration are the specific methods for integrating various systems, devices, and applications in the smart park under this layered architecture.

[0050] Specifically, system equipment integration focuses on the integration of various subsystems and devices within the park; business integration focuses on the integration of business and data between different systems; and portal integration focuses on the integration of user interfaces and information presentation. Unified management of these integration methods helps improve the overall efficiency and user experience of the smart digital platform. It should be understood that system equipment integration, business integration, and portal integration are implementation methods for the specific integration and management of various systems, devices, and applications in the smart park, based on a layered "cloud-edge-device" architecture. They complement each other and together constitute the complete integrated architecture of the smart digital platform.

[0051] Understandably, system equipment integration includes the integration of intelligent IoT subsystems within the smart park, various terminal devices within the park, and various video terminals. This is achieved through an IoT platform, which is based on a "cloud-edge-device" software architecture. In the cloud, it performs unified configuration and management of subsystem and device data, using object models and product drivers to uniformly model subsystems and terminal devices. At the edge, it enables subsystem and device access through edge gateways, and uses a driver engine to schedule the object models and product driver logic of subsystems and terminal devices, enabling data reading and command control. The edge gateway ensures the timeliness and security of data processing, while also enabling the IoT platform to adapt to more network environments and deployment methods, satisfying both public and private cloud deployments for multiple projects and local private deployments.

[0052] Business integration refers to the integration of business capabilities between different systems within the park, which is achieved through an integration framework. This framework includes a configuration management interface for access assets, providing development tools and reusable management functions for integration development, as well as a lightweight integration engine that can be used by project teams when only a small number of systems are being integrated.

[0053] Portal integration refers to integrating different applications (such as apps, web applications, and mini-programs) within an enterprise into the corresponding applications on a smart digital platform, providing users with a unified and convenient access point.

[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, the integrated architecture of system equipment integration, business integration and portal integration aims to achieve unified management and efficient collaboration of various systems, devices and applications within the smart park, thereby improving the park's intelligence level and management efficiency.

[0055] Based on any of the above embodiments, the integration framework for business integration supports at least three integration methods, including API integration, database integration, and message queue integration.

[0056] Specifically, within the business integration framework, by supporting multiple integration methods, it is possible to ensure efficient and reliable data exchange and collaboration between different systems, services, and applications. In this embodiment of the invention, the business integration framework supports at least three integration methods: API integration, database integration, and message queue integration.

[0057] Here, API integration refers to achieving data exchange and function calls between different systems or services by defining and using standard API interfaces. API integration provides flexibility, scalability, and maintainability because each system or service can define its own API interface and update or modify it as needed. Database integration refers to achieving data sharing and synchronization between different systems or services through database technologies (such as MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, etc.). Message queue integration refers to achieving asynchronous communication and data exchange between different systems or services using message queue technologies (such as Kafka, MQTT, RabbitMQ, RocketMQ, etc.). Message queues allow senders to send messages to queues, and receivers can asynchronously retrieve and process these messages from the queues. This approach decouples senders and receivers, improving system scalability and reliability.

[0058] Understandably, within the business integration framework, one can choose the appropriate integration method based on specific business needs and technical environment, or combine multiple integration methods to achieve more complex business scenarios.

[0059] Based on any of the above embodiments, the portal integration launches the various integrated business applications through single sign-on or open authorization authentication methods.

[0060] It's important to note that portal integration can launch various integrated business applications through authentication methods such as single sign-on or open authorization. In other words, using these authentication mechanisms allows users to access and use multiple integrated application systems more conveniently and securely. Launching integrated business applications here means that after using authentication mechanisms like single sign-on or open authorization, users can directly access other integrated applications from a single entry point (such as a unified login page or an already logged-in application) without having to log in to each application individually. This significantly improves user experience and system usability.

[0061] Specifically, Single Sign-On (SSO) allows a user to access one or more related, mutually trusted application systems by logging in only once. For example, within an enterprise, employees may need to access multiple different application systems (such as attendance, finance, and human resources systems). SSO allows employees to access all other systems by logging in once on one system, eliminating the need to log in to each system individually. The principle behind SSO is that when a user first accesses and logs into a system, that system interacts with an authentication server to verify the user's identity. Once authentication is successful, the authentication server generates a token or session, which is shared across all relevant systems to prove that the user has been authenticated.

[0062] Open authorization authentication methods can include OAuth 2.0 authentication. OAuth 2.0 is an open authorization framework that allows third-party applications to obtain limited access without needing the user's username and password. OAuth 2.0 is commonly used for third-party logins, such as logging into other applications using QQ, WeChat, or Weibo accounts. The principle behind OAuth 2.0 authentication is that it decouples users, third-party applications, and resources by introducing the roles of an authorization server and a resource server. Users authorize third-party applications to access data stored on the resource server without directly providing their username and password to the application.

[0063] For example, web applications in a smart park can launch specific integrated web applications via single sign-on; apps or mini-programs in a smart park can launch integrated apps or mini-programs via authentication methods such as OAuth 2.0; and specific apps or mini-programs can be integrated into apps or mini-programs in the smart park via SDK / H5. It should be understood that after authentication via OAuth 2.0, apps or mini-programs in the smart park can directly open the integrated functions within the app or mini-program via the SDK's API or H5 URL.

[0064] Understandably, a common prerequisite for achieving unified integration across various portal platforms is the need for the platform and these portals to synchronize specific master data, especially account master data. Once the master data is synchronized, secure authentication management can be achieved through authentication methods such as single sign-on and OAuth 2.0.
