[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present application.

For example, some operations / steps can be decomposed, combined, or partially merged, so the actual execution order may change according to the actual situation.

[0030] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 which are schematic structural diagrams of the cloud PC server 10 provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 and which are internal structural diagrams of the cloud PC server 10 provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0032] Exemplarily, the cloud PC server 10 provides cloud PC services for users. Specifically, users communicate with the cloud PC server through a relatively small cloud PC client, so as to achieve access to a personal PC and achieve the effect of logging in to a personal computer.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the cloud PC server 10 includes a baseboard, a plurality of cloud PC encoding cards 12, a network component 13, and a power supply component 14. Among them, a plurality of first card slots 111 are provided on the baseboard, and each cloud PC encoding card 12 is installed in the corresponding first card slot 111 to be connected to other components through the baseboard. It should be understood that Figure 2 in the cloud PC server 10 shown, the cloud PC encoding cards 12 are installed in some of the first card slots 111, while the other first card slots 111 do not have cloud PC encoding cards 12 installed. It should be noted that during the operation of the cloud PC server 10, as long as at least one of the first card slots 111 in the cloud PC server 10 has a cloud PC encoding card 12 installed, it can provide cloud PC services for the corresponding cloud PC client, and it is not necessary for all the first card slots 111 to be inserted with cloud PC encoding cards 12.

[0034] The network component 13 is provided on the bottom board and is communicatively connected to the cloud PC encoding card 12; the power supply component 14 is also provided on the bottom board to provide the working voltage for the cloud PC server 10. In a specific implementation process, the cloud PC encoding card 12 can exchange data with the cloud PC client through the network component 13, so as to provide cloud PC services for the cloud PC client through the cloud PC encoding card 12. It should be understood that in this application, different cloud PC encoding cards 12 are used to provide corresponding cloud PC services for different cloud PC clients. Compared with the cloud PC virtualized by server virtual resources, the cloud PC with higher performance can be provided for the cloud PC client through the hardware support of the physical encoding card, so that when the cloud PC runs application programs with higher memory, there will be no problems such as slow response, delay and frame freezing, thereby improving the user experience and the practicality of the cloud PC server 10.

[0035] In a specific implementation manner, the first card slot 111 includes a locking structure and an unlocking structure. The locking structure is used to fix the inserted cloud PC encoding card 12 on the card slot after the cloud PC encoding card 12 is inserted, and the unlocking structure is used to unlock the locked cloud PC encoding card 12 so that the cloud PC encoding card 12 can be removed from the first card slot 111 to realize the replacement of the cloud PC encoding card 12. It should be understood that the cloud PC encoding card 12 is used to provide cloud PC services for the cloud PC client. Since the performance of the hardware integrated on the cloud PC encoding card 12 is different, such as the hardware performance of the CPU, graphics card, memory, etc., the performance of the cloud PC can be adjusted by replacing the cloud PC encoding card 12.

[0036] In an embodiment, the cloud PC encoding card 12 further includes a computing unit, a video transmission unit, an audio transmission unit, a USB unit and a GPIO unit; the video transmission unit, the audio transmission unit, the USB unit and the GPIO unit are all connected to the computing unit; wherein, the video transmission unit is used to send the video information output from the computing unit to the corresponding cloud PC client through the network component 13, and the audio transmission unit is used to send the audio information output from the computing unit to the corresponding cloud PC client through the network component 13; the USB unit is used to perform data transmission with the USB external device externally connected to the corresponding cloud PC client; the GPIO unit is used to control the power state of the cloud PC encoding card 12.

[0037] Exemplarily, a computing unit, a video transmission unit, an audio transmission unit, a USB unit, and a GPIO unit are integrated on the cloud PC encoding card 12. So that the cloud PC encoding card 12 connects to the computing unit through the video channel provided by the video transmission unit, and informs the computing unit of the EDID of the current cloud PC encoding card 12, enabling the computing unit to provide the best resolution screen to the cloud PC client. The audio transmission unit of the cloud PC encoding card 12 is used to receive the audio collected from the cloud PC client or send the audio determined by the computing unit to the cloud PC client, thereby realizing the audio input or output of the cloud PC client. The USB unit of the cloud PC encoding card 12 is used to transmit the data of the USB external device received from the cloud PC client to the computing unit, so that the cloud PC can be controlled by USB external devices such as keyboards and mice. The GPIO unit of the cloud PC encoding card 12 is used to control the power state of the computing unit, thereby controlling the operation or shutdown of the cloud PC encoding card 12. In a specific implementation, when the cloud PC client logs in to the cloud PC, the GPIO unit controls the computing unit to enter the startup state to provide cloud PC services to the cloud PC client.

[0038] It should be noted that by integrating multiple data processing units in the cloud PC encoding card 12, the processing of the data required to run the cloud PC is realized through the cloud PC encoding card 12, and thus the corresponding cloud PC services can be provided to remote cloud PC clients.

[0039] In some embodiments, the cloud PC server 10 is also provided with a main control component to uniformly control and manage the resources and services in the cloud PC server 10. For example, the inserted cloud PC encoding cards 12 are uniformly controlled and managed.

[0040] In one embodiment, the base plate is further provided with at least one second card slot, and the network component 13 is installed in the second card slot.

[0041] In the specific implementation process, the base plate is further provided with at least one second card slot for installing the network component 13. It should be understood that the cloud PC encoding card 12 is installed in the cloud PC server 10 through the first card slot 111 to achieve communication connection with other components in the cloud PC server 10 through the first card slot 111, while the network component 13 is installed in the cloud PC server 10 through the second card slot and can also communicate with other components in the cloud PC server 10 through the second card slot. It should be understood that the structures of the first card slot 111 and the second card slot are the same or different to adapt to the corresponding inserted board cards, and the present application does not limit whether the specific structures of the first card slot 111 and the second card slot are the same.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is the internal structure diagram of the cloud PC server 10 provided by another embodiment of the present application.

[0043] In one embodiment, the network component 13 includes a first network switching board 131 and a second network switching board 132. The first network switching board 131 is installed on one of the second card slots, and the second network switching board 132 is installed on the other second card slot. Among them, the first network switching board 131 is used for data exchange with the user service data network, and the second network switching board 132 is used for data exchange with the cloud PC client and with the cloud PC encoding card 12, so that the cloud PC client can perform data exchange with the corresponding cloud PC encoding card 12.

[0044] As Figure 3 shown, the number of the second card slots is 2, and the first network switching board 131 and the second network switching board 132 are respectively installed on the two second card slots to achieve data exchange. It should be understood that Figure 3 all the first card slots 111 in the cloud PC server 10 shown are installed with cloud PC encoding cards 12.

[0045] In a specific implementation manner, the first network switching board 131 is used for data exchange with an external network, such as the user service data network. Among them, the user service data network includes, but is not limited to, the Internet and other service data networks except the communication network between the cloud PC encoding card 12 and the cloud PC client in the cloud PC server 10. The second network switching board 132 is used for data exchange with the cloud PC client and the cloud PC encoding card 12, so that the data of the cloud PC encoding card 12 can be transmitted to the cloud PC client through the second network switching card, so as to provide the corresponding cloud PC service for the user in the cloud PC client. It should be understood that through the first network switching board 131 and the second network switching board 132, data exchange with different networks is realized, so that different types of data can be allocated to different network channels, realizing physical isolation of the network, and further ensuring data security and improving data transmission efficiency.

[0046] In one embodiment, a plurality of the first card slots 111 are arranged side by side in the first surface area, the second surface area and the third surface area of the base plate, and the second surface area is located between the first surface area and the third surface area.

[0047] Exemplarily, the bottom plate includes two relatively arranged surfaces, and a first card slot 111 and a second card slot are provided in one surface so that each component in the cloud PC server 10 can be arranged on this surface. On this surface, there are a first surface area, a second surface area, and a third surface area. The second surface area is located between the first surface area and the third surface area. Among them, a plurality of first card slots 111 are arranged side by side in the first surface area, the second surface area, and the third surface area, so that a plurality of cloud PC encoding cards 12 can be installed in the cloud PC server 10. And by the side-by-side arrangement method, the occupied area when the cloud PC encoding card 12 is installed in the cloud PC server 10 can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the volume of the cloud PC server 10.

[0048] In one embodiment, the number of the first card slots 111 is 24.

[0049] Exemplarily, the number of the first card slots 111 is 24. That is, in the cloud PC server 10 provided in this embodiment, at most 24 cloud PC encoding cards 12 can be installed, so as to provide corresponding cloud PC services for 24 corresponding cloud PC client terminals.

[0050] It should be noted that the number of the first card slots 111 is only for illustrative purposes. In some other embodiments, the number of the first card slots 111 can be set to 8, 16, or 48, etc., to install the corresponding number of cloud PC encoding cards 12.

[0051] In one embodiment, 8 of the first card slots 111 are respectively arranged side by side in the first surface area, the second surface area, and the third surface area.

[0052] In a specific implementation, 8 first card slots 111 are respectively arranged in the first surface area, the second surface area, and the third surface area, so that the total number of the first card slots 111 is 24. It should be understood that by respectively arranging the first card slots 111 with the same number in the three areas, the occupied area for installing the cloud PC encoding cards 12 can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the volume of the cloud PC server 10.

[0053] In one embodiment, the area where the network component 13 is located is adjacent to the first surface area and the second surface area, and the area where the power supply component 14 is located is connected to the area where the network area is located and the third surface area.

[0054] Exemplarily, a network component 13 and a power supply component 14 also need to be arranged on the bottom plate. Exemplarily, the network component 13, the power supply component 14, and the first card slot 111 are on the same surface, and the area where the network component 13 is located is adjacent to the first surface area and the second surface area, and the area where the power supply component 14 is located is connected to the area where the network component 13 is located and the third surface area.

[0055] In a specific implementation process, from the perspective of the vertical base plate, on the base plate, eight first card slots 111 are arranged in parallel along a first direction, and three first card slots 111 are arranged side by side in a second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction; it should be understood that the area where the network component 13 is located is adjacent to the first surface area and the second surface area in the first direction, the area where the network component 13 is located is adjacent to the area where the power supply component 14 is located in the second direction, and the power supply component 14 is adjacent to the third surface area in the first direction. Through this setting method, the positions on the base plate can be effectively utilized, and each component is arranged compactly, thereby reducing the volume of the cloud PC server 10.

[0056] In one embodiment, the cloud PC server 10 further includes a cooling component, and the cooling component is used to cool down the cloud PC server 10.

[0057] Exemplarily, a cooling component is also provided in the cloud PC server 10 to cool down the cloud PC encoding card 12 in the working state and / or the components in the cloud PC server 10 in the working state, so as to prevent the cloud PC encoding card 12 or the components located inside the cloud PC server 10 from having a reduced operating speed or being damaged due to excessive temperature.

[0058] In a specific implementation manner, the cooling component is a ventilation member and / or a heat sink. The ventilation member, such as a fan, can be arranged on the side of the cloud PC server 10, and the heat sink can be arranged on the cloud PC encoding card 12.

[0059] In one embodiment, the cooling component includes a first cooling unit and a second cooling unit, and the first cooling unit and the second cooling unit are located on opposite sides of the cloud PC server 10.

[0060] Exemplarily, the cooling component is arranged at the edge of the cloud PC server 10. The cooling component specifically includes a first cooling unit and a second cooling unit, and the first cooling unit and the second cooling unit are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the cloud PC server 10 to achieve cooling of the inside of the cloud PC server 10.

[0061] In a specific implementation manner, the first cooling unit includes a plurality of fans, and the second cooling unit also includes a plurality of fans. The plurality of fans are arranged in parallel at the edge of the cloud PC server 10. Specifically, the connection direction of the first cooling unit and the second cooling unit is the second direction, and the plurality of fans in each cooling unit are arranged in parallel along the first direction to improve the cooling efficiency of the cloud PC encoding card 12.

[0062] The cloud PC server 10 provided by the above embodiments provides corresponding cloud PC services for multiple cloud PC clients through multiple cloud PC encoding cards 12 arranged inside. Compared with the cloud PCs virtualized from virtual resources by cloud servers without hardware such as CPUs, memories, and hard disks, the cloud PC services supported by the hardware of the physical encoding boards can effectively improve the performance of the cloud PCs, so that there will be no situations such as slow response, latency, and frame freezing when running applications with high memory occupancy on the cloud PCs. Furthermore, the user experience and the practicality of the cloud PC server 10 are improved. In addition, by integrating multiple cloud PC encoding cards 12 into one cloud PC server 10, the volume of the cloud PC server 10 providing cloud PC services can be reduced, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the server.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a schematic block diagram of the structure of a cloud PC system provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0064] As Figure 4 shown, the cloud PC system includes at least one cloud PC client 20 and a cloud PC server 10.
