Automatic switching method and automatic switching system

An automatic switching method, wherein the method comprises:

• an automatic switching device monitoring in real time a service state of an operation server that operates in a preset first configuration;
• when the automatic switching device monitors that the operation server has terminated providing service for a client terminal system, the client terminal system comprising at least a first device and another device, the automatic switching device sending to the client terminal system a server switching prompt message for prompting a user of the client terminal system that the operation server is being switched and sending to a network device connected to the operation server a switching instruction for switching a current configuration of the network device;
• the network device switching the current configuration to a preset configuration for the network device according to the switching instruction and establishing a data communication between another client terminal system and a backup server, to enable the backup server to perform data communication with the another client terminal system, the another client terminal system comprising at least the first device and an other device, wherein the other device in the another client terminal system serves as a backup for the another device in the client terminal system,
• the method further comprises:
• when the automatic switching device monitors that the operation server has terminated providing service for the client terminal system receiving service from the operation server, the automatic switching device triggers the other device in the another client terminal system to be started;
• and/or
• correspondingly, sending to the first device in the client terminal system the server switching prompt message for prompting the user of the client terminal system that the operation server is being switched,
• wherein the preset configuration for the network device is a configuration which enables the backup server to provide service for the another client terminal system,
• wherein the preset first configuration is the configuration of a server when the server provides service.

An automatic switching system, wherein the system comprises:

• an automatic switching device,
• at least two client terminal systems,
• an operation server providing service for one of the at least two client terminal systems, a backup server providing service for another one of the at least two client terminal systems when the operation server has terminated providing service for the one of the at least two client terminal systems, the one of the at least two client terminals comprising at least a first device and another device, the operation server is physically connected to the backup server;
• and
• a network device, the one of the at least two client terminal systems communicates with the operation server via the network device,
• when the automatic switching device monitors that the operation server has terminated providing service for the one of the at least two client terminal systems, the automatic switching device sending to the operation server a switching instruction for switching a current configuration of the operation server to a preset second configuration and sending to the backup server a notification message for switching a current configuration of the backup server to a preset first configuration, such that the backup server provides service for the another one of the at least two client terminal systems, the another one of the at least two client terminal systems comprising at least the first device and an other device, wherein the other device in the another one of the at least two client terminal systems serves as a backup for the another device in the one of the at least two client terminal systems,
• when the automatic switching device monitors that the operation server has terminated providing service for the one of the at least two client terminal systems, the automatic switching device notifying the network device to switch a current configuration of the automatic switching device to a configuration and establish a data communication between the another one of the at least two client terminal systems and the backup server, which enables the backup server to communicate with the another one of the at least two client terminal systems, such that the backup server provides service for the another one of the at least two client terminal systems, the automatic switching device further triggers the other device in the another one of the at least two client terminal systems to be started,
• wherein the preset first configuration is the configuration of a server when the server provides service and the preset second configuration is the configuration for enabling a server to enter a waiting state.
