Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure can be applied to the financial sector, and more specifically relates to a method, apparatus, device, storage medium, and program product for continuous operation of timed tasks. Background Technology

[0002] In the current financial sector, web applications heavily rely on browser timers to automatically poll critical tasks such as market data updates and fund synchronization.

[0003] However, when users switch tabs or minimize windows, browsers reduce or freeze timers on background pages to conserve resources, leading to significant delays and accumulated errors in financial data updates. When users return to the trading interface, transactions may be interrupted due to session keep-alive failure. Existing technologies cannot guarantee both resource efficiency and the continuity and accuracy of scheduled tasks across a macro timeline, which has become a key issue limiting the user experience and reliability of financial web applications. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, this disclosure provides a method, apparatus, device, storage medium and program product for continuous operation of timed tasks.

[0005] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, a method for continuous execution of a scheduled task is provided, comprising: initializing a target timer set in the original page in response to a user's operation of opening an original page; triggering the start of the target timer according to a scheduled task request corresponding to the user's target operation in the original page, and recording a first timestamp at the time of triggering as the base time of the scheduled task; pausing the execution of the target timer and recording the current second timestamp when the original page is detected to have switched to the target page based on a preset monitoring tool; restarting the execution of the target timer and recording the current third timestamp when the target page is detected to have switched back to the original page and the target timer is in a state awaiting compensation; and performing time compensation on the target timer according to the time difference between the second timestamp and the third timestamp, so that the scheduled task can run continuously.

[0006] According to embodiments of this disclosure, monitoring is performed based on a preset monitoring tool, including: determining the switch between the original page and the target page through a preset visibility change event; wherein, when the state of the visible file in the handling function of the visibility change event is detected as hidden, it is determined that the original page is switched to the target page; when the state of the visible file in the handling function of the visibility change event is detected as visible, it is determined that the target page is switched to the original page.

[0007] According to embodiments of this disclosure, when the original page is switched to the target page, the original page is invisible; when the target page is switched to the original page, the original page is visible.

[0009] According to embodiments of this disclosure, time compensation is performed on a target timer based on the time difference between a second timestamp and a third timestamp, including: calculating the time difference between the second timestamp and the third timestamp and using it as a pause duration; and compensating for the next predetermined trigger time of the target timer in advance based on the pause duration.

[0010] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the next predetermined trigger time of the target timer is compensated in advance, including: obtaining the original interval duration of the target timer; subtracting the pause duration from the original interval duration to obtain the adjusted interval duration; and resetting the target timer based on the adjusted interval duration.

[0011] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, after restarting the target timer, the method further includes: calculating the virtual duration elapsed since the target timer was started based on the first timestamp, the third timestamp, and the original interval duration of the target timer; and, if it is determined that the virtual duration exceeds one or more timer task cycles, executing the expired timer task and updating the trigger time of the next timer task.

[0024] The embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure for ease of explanation. However, it will be apparent that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of the present disclosure.

[0025] In the technical solution disclosed herein, the user information (including but not limited to user personal information, user image information, user device information, such as location information) and data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, and displayed data) involved are all information and data authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties.

Corresponding operation entry points are provided for users to choose to authorize or refuse.

[0026] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, certain software, components, models and other existing solutions in the industry may be mentioned. These should be regarded as exemplary and are only intended to illustrate the feasibility of implementing the technical solution of this application. However, it does not mean that the applicant has used or necessarily used the solution.

[0027] In scenarios involving automated decision-making using personal information, the methods, devices, and systems provided in this disclosure all offer users corresponding entry points for choosing to agree to or reject the automated decision-making results. If the user chooses to reject, the process proceeds to the expert decision-making stage. Here, "automated decision-making" refers to the activity of automatically analyzing and evaluating an individual's behavioral habits, interests, or economic, health, and credit status through computer programs, and then making a decision. Here, "expert decision-making" refers to the activity of making decisions by personnel who specialize in a particular field, possess specialized experience, knowledge, and skills, and have reached a certain level of professional expertise.

[0028] The embodiments of this disclosure provide a method for continuous execution of a scheduled task, comprising: initializing a target timer set in the original page in response to a user's operation of opening an original page; triggering the start of the target timer according to the scheduled task request corresponding to the user's target operation in the original page, and recording a first timestamp at the time of triggering as the base time of the scheduled task; pausing the execution of the target timer and recording the current second timestamp when the original page is detected to have switched to the target page based on a preset monitoring tool; restarting the execution of the target timer and recording the current third timestamp when the target page is detected to have switched back to the original page and the target timer is in a state awaiting compensation; and performing time compensation on the target timer according to the time difference between the second timestamp and the third timestamp, so that the scheduled task can run continuously.

[0029] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, the method achieves continuity and accuracy of scheduled tasks on a macro timeline. By employing a closed-loop control mechanism of recording timestamps, pausing, and compensating, it solves the problem of cumulative drift of scheduled tasks caused by browser timer throttling or freezing due to page switching, ensuring the time accuracy of scheduled tasks during long-term operation. Furthermore, this method can intelligently sense changes in the application's operating environment (foreground and background) and make proactive adjustments, enabling web applications that rely on precise scheduled tasks to remain stable even when users frequently switch tabs, preventing transaction interruptions.

[0030] Figure 1 The diagram illustrates an application scenario of a timed task continuous execution method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, application scenario 100 according to this embodiment may include a first terminal device 101, a second terminal device 102, a third terminal device 103, a network 104, and a server 105. The network 104 serves as a medium for providing a communication link between the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the third terminal device 103, and the server 105. The network 104 may include various connection types, such as wired or wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables, etc.

[0032] Users can use the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103 to interact with the server 105 via the network 104 to receive or send messages, etc. Various communication client applications can be installed on the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103, such as shopping applications, web browser applications, search applications, instant messaging tools, email clients, social media platform software, etc. (for example only).

[0033] The first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103 can be various electronic devices with displays and support web browsing, including but not limited to smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers.

[0034] Server 105 can be a server that provides various services, such as a backend management server that supports websites browsed by users using the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103 (this is just an example). The backend management server can analyze and process data such as received user requests, and feed back the processing results (such as web pages, information, or data obtained or generated according to user requests) to the terminal devices.

[0035] It should be noted that the scheduled task continuous execution method provided in this embodiment can generally be executed by server 105. Correspondingly, the scheduled task continuous execution device provided in this embodiment can generally be located in server 105. The scheduled task continuous execution method provided in this embodiment can also be executed by a server or server cluster that is different from server 105 and capable of communicating with the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the third terminal device 103, and / or server 105. Correspondingly, the scheduled task continuous execution device provided in this embodiment can also be located in a server or server cluster that is different from server 105 and capable of communicating with the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the third terminal device 103, and / or server 105.

[0036] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices, networks, and servers shown is merely illustrative. Depending on implementation needs, any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers can be included.

[0037] The following will be based on Figure 1 The described scene, through Figures 2-5 The method for continuous execution of timed tasks according to the disclosed embodiments is described in detail.

[0038] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a method for continuous execution of a timed task according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the method for continuous execution of a timed task may further include operations S210 to S240.

[0040] In operation S210, in response to the user's operation of opening the original page, the target timer set in the original page is initialized.

[0041] In the embodiments of this disclosure, a timed task is generated when a user opens a web page and submits a form (or performs other operations on the page). This timed task is executed by a timer, and can be, for example, a task such as sending a verification code during a countdown to a target timer. The continuous execution of this timed task is described in detail below.

[0042] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating the initialization of a target timer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiments of this disclosure, in response to the user's operation of opening the original page, the initialization of the target timer set in the original page may further include operations S310 to S320.

[0044] When operating S310, in response to the user's operation of opening the original page, an initial timer state management object is initialized and the basic parameters of the initial timer are configured. The initial timer does not start periodic timed tasks.

[0045] In embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a user opening a web page, a centralized data container is established to manage the entire lifecycle state of the timer, rather than immediately starting a periodic timed task.

[0046] Specifically, when a user opens a web page, an initial timer state management object is created, and a series of basic parameter properties are configured for this object. For example, the execution cycle of the scheduled task is defined, and the timer is explicitly marked as being in the "not running" initial state.

[0047] In the S320 operation, a page visibility listener is registered for the initial timer after configuring the basic parameters, and the target timer is obtained.

[0048] In embodiments of this disclosure, to enable the initial timer to sense changes in its runtime environment (whether the page is on the front end or back end), this embodiment registers the initial timer with a page visibility listener to obtain the target timer.

[0049] Specifically, a page visibility listener is registered, and the event handler for that event is logically bound to the previously created state management object. This function will call subsequently defined functions based on the file's visibility status, enabling the timer to start and pause. Thus, a target timer integrating state management and environment awareness is initialized and ready to be started, awaiting a user-defined action (such as clicking a button) to trigger its initial startup.

[0050] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, on-demand startup is achieved by only building the management framework and registering listeners during the initialization phase, without starting the actual scheduled tasks. This avoids unnecessary resource consumption when the user has no intention of using the service, while ensuring that a scheduled service with intelligent compensation capabilities can be provided immediately when the user needs it.

[0051] In operation S220, based on the scheduled task request corresponding to the user's target operation within the original page, the target timer is triggered and the first timestamp of the trigger is recorded as the base time of the scheduled task.

[0052] In the embodiments of this disclosure, a target timer is triggered to run a scheduled task based on a user's target action request on a web page. Here, it is understood that the target action refers to an interactive behavior performed by the user on the page with a clear intention to initiate a scheduled task.

[0053] For example, clicking the button triggers a 60-second countdown to send a verification code; this 60-second countdown is a scheduled task. Furthermore, at this moment, the target timer starts, and at the exact instant of its start, it acquires and stores the current timestamp. This timestamp serves as the base time for the entire system, and all subsequent times are based on this base time.

[0054] When operating S230, based on the preset monitoring tool, if the original page is detected to switch to the target page, the target timer is paused and the current second timestamp is recorded; if the target page is detected to switch back to the original page and the target timer is in a state of pending compensation, the target timer is restarted and the current third timestamp is recorded.

[0055] In embodiments of this disclosure, monitoring is performed using a preset monitoring tool, including: determining the switch between the original page and the target page based on preset visibility change events. Specifically, when the visibility file's state is found to be hidden in the visibility change event handler, the original page is determined to switch to the target page. When the visibility file's state is found to be visible in the visibility change event handler, the target page is determined to switch to the original page.

[0056] Understandably, based on the preset page visibility listener, the switch between the original page and the target page is determined by the visibility change event being listened to.

[0057] Specifically, upon detecting a switch from the original page to the target page, the target timer is paused and the current second timestamp is recorded. This page switch is detected by checking if the visibility file is hidden in the visibility change event handler, thus determining that the original page has switched to the target page. At this point, the target timer is paused and the current time is recorded as the second timestamp.

[0058] For example, when a user clicks a button on a web page (i.e., the original page) to send a verification code after a 60-second countdown, during which the user switches the webpage to the background and switches to another news page (i.e., the target page), the original page is invisible. The target timer is paused and the current time is recorded as the second timestamp.

[0059] Understandably, at this point, the page visibility listener detects that the original page is in an invisible state (i.e., a hidden state), and determines that the page is switching from the original page to the target page.

[0060] Furthermore, upon detecting a switch from the target page to the original page and the target timer being in a pending compensation state, the target timer is restarted and the current third timestamp is recorded. It's understandable that the page switch is detected by checking if the visibility file status is visible in the visibility change event handler, thus determining that the target page has switched to the original page. At this point, the target timer's scheduled task is not yet complete and needs to continue; therefore, the target timer is restarted and the current time is recorded as the third timestamp.

[0061] For example, when a user switches to the news page (i.e., the target page) and then switches back to the web page (i.e., the original page), in order to continue the 60-second countdown on the web page, the target timer will change from a paused state to a restarted state and record the restart time as a third timestamp. It can be understood that at this point, the page visibility listener detects that the original page is visible, determining that the page has switched from the target page to the original page.

[0062] By using the browser's native visibility change events and the state of the visibility file to make judgments, the misjudgments and ambiguities that may occur during monitoring are effectively prevented, and accurate detection of the page visibility state is achieved.

[0063] In operation S240, time compensation is performed on the target timer based on the time difference between the second and third timestamps to ensure that the timed task runs continuously.

[0064] Figure 4A flowchart illustrating time compensation for a target timer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiments of this disclosure, time compensation for the target timer based on the time difference between the second timestamp and the third timestamp may further include operations S410 to S420.

[0066] In operation S410, the time difference between the second and third timestamps is calculated and used as the pause duration.

[0067] Specifically, based on the above, the second timestamp is the precise time when the timer was paused, and the third timestamp is the precise time when the timer resumed operation. By calculating the difference between these two timestamps, the precise pause duration can be obtained. This duration represents the time during which the progress of the scheduled task was halted due to the original page being invisible.

[0068] When operating S420, the next scheduled trigger time of the target timer is compensated in advance based on the pause duration.

[0069] For example, when the target page switches to the original page, the scheduled task restarts. In order to ensure that the target timer's scheduled task can run continuously, the time that was interrupted due to the page switch, i.e. the original page is not visible, is compensated for in the subsequent triggering time of the target timer.

[0070] For example, for a 60-second countdown timer task, when the original page is switched to the target page, the target timer is paused and the current time is recorded as the second timestamp of 15 seconds. When the target page is switched back to the original page and the target timer is in a state of waiting for compensation, the target timer is restarted and the current third timestamp is recorded as 30 seconds. The pause duration can be calculated to be 15 seconds.

[0071] Furthermore, when the target timer is restarted, its trigger time is advanced accordingly, specifically by 15 seconds. This ensures that a 60-second countdown timer will not experience a wait longer than 60 seconds due to page switching.

[0072] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, lost time is recovered by advancing the next trigger time. This mechanism, unlike simple resets or postponements, is key to achieving continuous rather than intermittent operation, ensuring the macroscopic continuity of the task cycle.

[0073] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the next predetermined trigger time of the target timer is compensated in advance, including: obtaining the original interval duration of the target timer; subtracting the pause duration from the original interval duration to obtain the adjusted interval duration; and resetting the target timer based on the adjusted interval duration.

[0074] For example, if the target timer executes by following the original fixed period when completing the timed task, after calculating the pause duration, in order to compensate the target timer for the next time at the predetermined trigger time (i.e., based on the original fixed period), the original fixed period is subtracted from the pause duration to obtain the adjusted interval duration.

[0075] Furthermore, when the target timer is restarted, it will not execute on the original fixed period, but will only wait for the adjusted interval before executing the next task.

[0076] Understandably, proactively adjusting the original fixed period of the target timer can offset the pause time that has already occurred by shortening the next waiting period, thus ensuring that the target timer's scheduled tasks are executed as scheduled as possible.

[0077] In another embodiment of this disclosure, if the target timer executes according to the original fixed cycle when completing its scheduled task, and the time the original page spends processing the invisible state (i.e., the target timer pause time) is too long, compensating for the next cycle in advance may not be sufficient, potentially missing more than one task execution. Based on this, this embodiment proposes calculating a virtual duration to simulate how many tasks should have been executed if the timer had been running continuously in the foreground, and then recovering these expired tasks all at once to ensure data integrity. A detailed description follows.

[0078] Figure 5 A flowchart illustrating the updating of the trigger time of the next timed task according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiments of this disclosure, after restarting the operation of the target timer, operations S510 to S520 may be further included.

[0080] In operation S510, the virtual duration elapsed since the target timer was started is calculated based on the first timestamp, the third timestamp, and the original interval duration of the target timer.

[0081] When operating S520, if it is determined that the virtual duration exceeds one or more scheduled task cycles, the expired scheduled task is executed and the trigger time of the next scheduled task is updated.

[0082] Specifically, based on the first and third timestamps determined above, the virtual duration is calculated. By calculating the number of tasks that should theoretically be executed within the virtual duration and comparing it with the actual number of tasks executed, it is determined whether one or more complete task cycles have been missed within the virtual duration.

[0083] Furthermore, if it is determined that the virtual duration exceeds one or more scheduled task cycles, the expired scheduled tasks are executed. After all expired tasks are executed, the next scheduled time is reset to the correct future time point, instead of immediately following the last reissued task to update the trigger time of the next scheduled task.

[0084] The embodiments disclosed herein ensure that all tasks that should have been triggered during the period are not lost, even after a long pause, greatly enhancing the continuity, robustness, and data reliability of scheduled tasks.

[0085] Based on the above-described method for continuous execution of scheduled tasks, this disclosure also provides a device for continuous execution of scheduled tasks. The following will be combined with... Figure 6 The device is described in detail.

[0086] Figure 6 A schematic block diagram of a timed task continuous operation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0087] like Figure 6 As shown, the timed task continuous operation device 600 of this embodiment includes an initialization module 610, a first timestamp recording module 620, a monitoring module 630, and a time compensation module 640.

In one embodiment, the initialization module 610 can be used to perform the operation S210 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0089] The first timestamp recording module 620 is used to trigger the start of a target timer based on the timed task request corresponding to the user's target operation within the original page, and record the first timestamp at the time of triggering as the base time of the timed task. In one embodiment, the first timestamp recording module 620 can be used to execute the operation S220 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0090] The monitoring module 630 is used, based on a preset monitoring tool, to pause the execution of the target timer and record the current second timestamp when it detects that the original page has switched to the target page; and to restart the execution of the target timer and record the current third timestamp when it detects that the target page has switched back to the original page and the target timer is in a state awaiting compensation. In one embodiment, the monitoring module 630 can be used to perform the operation S230 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0091] The time compensation module 640 is used to compensate the target timer based on the time difference between the second and third timestamps, so that the timed task can run continuously.

[0092] In embodiments of this disclosure, the initialization module 610 includes a basic parameter configuration submodule and a registration submodule.

[0093] The basic parameter configuration submodule is used to initialize an initial timer state management object in response to the user's opening of the original page, and to configure the basic parameters of the initial timer. The initial timer does not start periodic timed tasks. In one embodiment, the basic parameter configuration submodule can be used to perform the operation S310 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0098] In embodiments of this disclosure, the timed task continuous operation device 600 further includes an update module, which includes a virtual duration calculation submodule and an update submodule.

[0099] The virtual duration calculation submodule is used to calculate the virtual duration elapsed since the target timer was started, based on the first timestamp, the third timestamp, and the original interval duration of the target timer. In one embodiment, the virtual duration calculation submodule can be used to perform the operation S510 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0100] The update submodule is used to execute expired scheduled tasks and update the trigger time of the next scheduled task when it is determined that the virtual duration exceeds one or more scheduled task cycles.

According to embodiments of this disclosure, at least one of the initialization module 610, the first timestamp recording module 620, the monitoring module 630, and the time compensation module 640 can be at least partially implemented as hardware circuitry, such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic array (PLA), a system-on-a-chip, a system-on-a-substrate, a system-on-package, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or implemented in hardware or firmware by any other reasonable means of integrating or packaging the circuitry, or implemented in any one of the three implementation methods of software, hardware, and firmware, or in a suitable combination of any of these. Alternatively, at least one of the initialization module 610, the first timestamp recording module 620, the listening module 630, and the time compensation module 640 can be implemented at least partially as a computer program module, which can perform corresponding functions when the computer program module is run.
