Token-based billing model for server-side rendering service

摘要

A token-based billing model for delivering server-side rendered applications to remote users. A token represents a right to access a server-side rendered application. Each remote user is associated with one or more tokens. When a given token expires, the set of tokens associated with a user is decremented. The rate at which tokens expire are modulated based on aggregate load across the resources of the server-side rendered application provider, as well as the individual loads attributable to each of the users.

delivering, by one or more servers, a server-side rendered application to one or more client devices of remote users, wherein each of the one or more remote users is associated with a set of tokens, each token representing a right to access the server-side rendered application; and increasing or decreasing, by the one or more servers with respect to a base expiration rate, a respective current expiration rate at which tokens expire for at least one of the one or more remote users based on load observed at the one or more servers caused by delivering the server-side rendered application; providing by the one or more servers, a user interface to a client device of at least one of the remote users; configuring, by the one or more servers, the user interface for:
displaying at least one of a number of remaining tokens and an amount of usage time left at the current expiration rate;enabling the remote user to adjust session quality controls; andproviding the remote user with visual feedback of effects of the adjustments on the current expiration rate of the remote user's tokens.
