Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The core of this invention is to provide a service configuration update method. In the prior art, updating service configuration requires pausing service operation, which is undoubtedly very wasteful for some simple configuration information modifications.

[0019] The service configuration update method provided by this invention includes registering the service's configuration information with a configuration center. The configuration information includes upper-layer configuration information based on a first execution entity and lower-layer configuration information based on a second execution entity. The configuration center returns the configuration information to the service. The configuration information is parsed, and the business modules are configured to implement the service's functions. The upper-layer configuration business of the service is executed to build an operation link between the first and second execution entities. Then, the lower-layer configuration business of the service is executed to create a first execution entity, which is added to the client list and its status is currently available. The service's configuration information is updated, the first execution entity is invoked, and the operation control of the second execution entity is achieved through the operation link to complete the service configuration update.

[0020] By dividing the service configuration information into upper-layer configuration information based on the configuration of the first execution subject and lower-layer configuration information based on the configuration of the second execution subject, and establishing an operation link between the first and second execution subjects through the upper-layer configuration business, and realizing operation control of the second execution subject based on the operation link, it is possible to run new services based on updated configurations without pausing the running services.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the service configuration update method provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] See Figure 1 In this embodiment of the invention, the service configuration update method includes: S1: Register the service configuration information to the configuration center. The configuration information includes upper-layer configuration information based on the configuration of the first execution entity and lower-layer configuration information based on the configuration of the second execution entity.

[0024] In this embodiment, the upper-layer configuration information is used to implement the upper-layer configuration services related to the first execution entity, and the lower-layer configuration information is used to implement the lower-layer configuration services related to the second execution entity.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first execution entity can be a service client, and the second execution entity can be an execution object related to the service client. This embodiment uses file upload service, cloud monitoring service, and remote store inspection service as examples.

[0026] When the service is a file upload service, the primary execution entity is the service client. The corresponding upper-level configuration information includes the file upload type, file verification rules, and file storage path. More specific upper-level configuration information may include Redis configuration and data information. Redis configuration may include the Redis IP address, port number, and connection duration; database information may include the database IP address and port number. The secondary execution entity is the cloud service platform. The corresponding lower-level configuration information may be the cloud service platform's password, used to access the platform's paid services.

[0027] When the service is a cloud-based monitoring service, the underlying configuration information consists of device control commands, with the service client being the primary execution entity. The upper-layer configuration information includes a database storing store, user, and product information. A second execution entity is used to utilize the cloud monitoring service; this entity can be a camera device or a store lock / unlock mechanism to ensure the normal operation of the store's monitoring service. Based on the target stores and devices selected from the database on the service client, the system controls the stores and their devices according to rules, enabling interaction between devices and users, such as opening and closing doors. Configuration updates can occur due to database changes, changes in product display, or changes in product quantity.

[0028] When the service is a remote store inspection service, the underlying configuration information is the logic for generating a to-do list based on non-conforming inspection items. The primary execution entity is the service client. The upper-layer configuration information includes a database storing store information, user information, product information, and inspection item rules. The secondary execution entity is the camera device, which uses the remote store inspection service to filter the corresponding target stores and target devices from the database and inspection item generation rules in the service client. It then processes the data of the stores and devices according to the rules, generating a to-do list corresponding to the conforming inspection items and returning it to the user for processing. Configuration updates can involve changing the database, modifying inspection items, or altering the to-do list.

[0029] S2: The configuration center returns configuration information to the service.

[0030] In this embodiment, the configuration center is used to update configuration information. After the configuration center returns the configuration information to the service, it performs configuration information verification. The configuration information verification process includes: The system checks whether the configuration information is incorrect or empty. If the configuration information is not empty and is error-free, the verification passes. The configuration information that passes the verification is then parsed.

[0031] Furthermore, after the configuration center returns the configuration information to the service, it also periodically monitors for updates to the configuration information. If an update is detected, the configuration information is verified.

[0032] S3: Parse the configuration information and configure the business modules to realize the function of the service.

[0033] In this embodiment, the process of configuring the business module to implement the service function includes: Receive underlying configuration information, create underlying configuration services, which include business processes and business channels, and write underlying configuration information into the business channels; Receive configuration information from the upper layer, create upper-layer configuration services based on the upper-layer configuration information, and transfer them to the lower-layer configuration services.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, after receiving the updated configuration information, the configuration center updates the upper-layer configuration service according to the upper-layer configuration information, and transmits it to the service channel in combination with the corresponding lower-layer configuration information to generate the latest service client.

[0035] S4: Execute the upper-layer configuration business of this service to build the operation link between the first execution subject and the second execution subject, then execute the lower-layer configuration business of this service to create the first execution subject, add the first execution subject to the client list, and set its status to currently available.

[0036] S5: Update the service configuration information, call the first execution entity, and control the operation of the second execution entity through the operation chain to complete the service configuration update.

[0037] In this embodiment, the configuration information for the update service includes at least one of the following: Update the upper-level configuration information, but do not update the lower-level configuration information; Update the underlying configuration information instead of updating the upper-level configuration information. Update the upper-level configuration information and the lower-level configuration information.

[0038] It should be noted that, taking the file upload service as an example, the underlying configuration business has been implemented for the existing cloud service platform. When the configuration information is updated, the service configuration information can be updated and used by following the steps of updating the upper-level configuration information. However, if a new cloud service platform is introduced, the underlying configuration information must be updated and the client generation logic of the new cloud service platform must be loaded. That is, the configuration information update and use must be completed by following the steps of updating the underlying configuration information.

[0039] This invention provides a service configuration update method that divides service configuration information into upper-layer configuration information based on a first execution entity and lower-layer configuration information based on a second execution entity. This new method enables the running of new services based on updated configurations without interrupting the current service. This method is applicable to situations where the connection method between services is relatively fixed, but the execution entity and configuration parameters may need to be modified.
