Abstract

Provided in embodiments of the present disclosure are a data processing method and device, the method comprising: receiving a first request message from a target node, the first information containing at least one from among the following: information related to creating a data collection task, information related to updating a data collection task, and information related to cancelling a data collection task; and sending to the target node a first response message used to respond to the first request message.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A data processing method, applied to a source node, the method comprising:
receiving a first request message from a target node, wherein the first request message comprises information about creation of a data acquisition task; and
sending a first response message configured to respond to the first request message to the target node;
wherein the information about creation of the data acquisition task comprises descriptive information of an acquired target data object;
wherein the descriptive information of the acquired target data object comprises a context acquisition condition of the acquired target data object and a tag of the acquired target data object;
wherein the context acquisition condition of the acquired target data object comprises an acquisition condition, the acquisition condition comprising at least one of a reporting containing instruction or a reporting filtering instruction;
wherein the tag of the acquired target data object is a message tag in a signaling flow or a data tag in a target layer;
wherein the method further comprises:
performing data acquisition according to the information about creation of the data acquisition task, and sending an acquisition result to the target node; and

wherein performing data acquisition according to the information about creation of the data acquisition task and sending the acquisition result to the target node comprises:
adding a reporting triggering event Identity (ID) to an event monitor;
in a case where the event monitor monitors a triggering event corresponding to the reporting triggering event ID, querying a task ID of the data acquisition task corresponding to the reporting triggering event ID;
performing data acquisition on a data object corresponding to the descriptive information of the acquired target data object according to descriptive information of an acquisition configuration to obtain the acquisition result.
setting a first timer according to a reporting period, and setting a second timer according to reporting valid time;
in a case where the first timer is triggered, sending the acquisition result to the target node according to a reporting purpose ID; and
in a case where the second timer is triggered, clearing the first timer and the second timer, and then re-executing the step of querying the task ID of the data acquisition task corresponding to the reporting triggering event ID in the case where the event monitor monitors the triggering event corresponding to the reporting triggering event ID.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein one of the following applies:
when the data acquisition task is created successfully, the first response message includes the task ID of the data acquisition task and information representing that the data acquisition task is created successfully; or
when the data acquisition task fails to be created, the first response message includes information representing that the data acquisition task fails to be created and a reason why the data acquisition task fails to be created.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the acquisition result comprises at least one of the task ID of the data acquisition task, an ID of the source node, or an acquired data object array.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the acquired data object array comprises at least one of:
data object context data corresponding to the context acquisition condition of the acquired target data object; or
a data object array corresponding to the tag of the acquired target data object,
the data object array comprising at least one of an ID of the data object, a data value of the data object, or data generation time of the data object.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information about creation of the data acquisition task further comprises at least one of descriptive information of a reporting configuration or the descriptive information of the acquisition configuration.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein:
the descriptive information of the reporting configuration comprises at least one of the reporting triggering event ID, the reporting period, the reporting valid time, or the reporting purpose ID; or
the descriptive information of the acquisition configuration comprises at least one of a User Equipment (UE) sampling rate or a time sampling rate.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein sending the acquisition result to the target node comprises:
sending the acquisition result to the target node through a data distribution protocol.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein:
the data distribution protocol is a Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol or a Kalfa protocol; and the method further comprises: determining the task ID as the reporting purpose ID; or,
the data distribution protocol is a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP); and the method further comprises: determining an ID of the target node as the reporting purpose ID.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the method further comprises:
receiving a second request message from the target node, the second request message comprising information about updating of the data acquisition task; and
sending a second response message configured to respond to the second request message to the target node; or,
the method further comprises:
receiving a third request message from the target node, the third request message comprising information about cancellation of the data acquisition task, and
sending a third response message configured to respond to the third request message to the target node.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first request message further comprises information about updating of the data acquisition task;
wherein the information about updating of the data acquisition task comprises at least one of the task ID of the data acquisition task, descriptive information of a new acquired data target object, descriptive information of a new reporting configuration, or descriptive information of a new acquisition configuration;
the first response message or a second response message comprises at least one of: information representing that the data acquisition task is updated successfully, information representing that the data acquisition task fails to be updated, or a reason why the data acquisition task fails to be updated.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first request message further comprises information about cancellation of the data acquisition task;
wherein the information about cancellation of the data acquisition task comprises the task ID of the data acquisition task;
the first response message or a third response message comprises at least one of: information representing that the data acquisition task is canceled successfully, information representing that the data acquisition task fails to be canceled, or a reason why the data acquisition task fails to be canceled.

12. A communication device, comprising a processor, a memory, and a computer-readable program stored in the memory and capable of running in the processor, wherein the computer-readable program is executed by the processor to implement operations comprising:
receiving a first request message from a target node, the first request message comprising information about creation of a data acquisition task; and sending a first response message configured to respond to the first request message to the target node;
wherein the information about creation of the data acquisition task comprises descriptive information of an acquired target data object;
wherein the descriptive information of the acquired target data object comprises a context acquisition condition of the acquired target data object and a tag of
