Method and System for Account Parallel Processing

Abstract

A method for account parallel processing used by an account processing center to process a request for account operation is disclosed. The method comprises: (1) categorizing accounts as high parallel occurrence accounts and common accounts; (2) when receiving the request from the client for processing operation of an account, firstly determining whether the account is a high parallel occurrence account; and if the account is a high parallel occurrence account, continuing to a step (3), otherwise, conducting a step (4); (3) if the account is locked, queuing a current operation to wait until implementation of the current operation; and (4) further determining, by the account processing center, whether the account is locked and outputting an error message when the account is locked, otherwise implementing the current operation. Such method provides more high quality services to the high parallel occurrence accounts. As for the common accounts, when there is a high volume of parallel transactions on the common accounts, the volume of parallel processing can be effectively controlled by outputting an error message to prevent comment accounts from causing damage the system.

 calculating a respective number of operations of each account of the one ore more accounts in a predetermined period;   ranking each account of the one or more accounts according to their respective number of operations; and   designating a number of accounts with highest number of operations as high parallel occurrence accounts.   
     
     
         19 . The method as recited in  claim 16 , wherein the categorizing accounts as the high parallel occurrence account or the common account comprises saving account identifications of high parallel occurrence accounts into memory. 
     
     
         20 . The method as recited in  claim 13 , wherein the determining the type of the account comprises determining whether the account is a high parallel occurrence account upon receiving the request from a client for processing the account. 
     
     
         21 . The method as recited in  claim 20 , wherein the determining whether the account is the high parallel occurrence account upon receiving the request from the client for processing the account comprises:
 comparing an account identification of the account with account identifications of high parallel occurrence accounts stored in the memory;   in response to determining that there is a match between the account identification of the account and one of the account identifications of the high parallel occurrence accounts, determining that the account is the high parallel occurrence account; and   in response to determining that there is not a match between the account identification of the account and one of the account identifications of the high parallel occurrence accounts, determining that the account is the common account.   
     
     
         22 . The method as recited in  claim 13 , wherein the implementing the current operation comprises locking the account. 
     
     
         23 . The method as recited in  claim 22 , wherein the implementing the current operation further comprises implementing an operation on the account. 
     
     
         24 . The method as recited in  claim 23 , wherein the implementing the current operation further comprises releasing a corresponding lock of the account after the operation is implemented. 
     
     
         25 . A method comprising:
