In particular, other input devices 230 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, switch keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, a light mouse (a light mouse is a touch-sensitive surface that does not display visual output, or is an extension of a touch-sensitive surface formed by a touch screen), and the like. The other input devices 230 are connected to other input device controllers 271 of the I/O subsystem 270 and are in signal communication with the processor 280 under the control of the other input device controllers 271.

The display screen 240 may be used to display information input by or provided to the user and various menus of the terminal apparatus 200, and may also receive user input. The display screen 240 may include a display panel 241 and a touch panel 242.

It is noted that other input control device controllers 270 may be connected to any one or more of the devices described above. The display controller 273 in the I/O subsystem 270 receives signals from the display screen 240 and/or sends signals to the display screen 240. After the display screen 240 detects the user input, the display controller 273 converts the detected user input into an interaction with the user interface object displayed on the display screen 240, i.e., realizes a human-computer interaction. The sensor controller 272 may receive signals from the one or more sensors 250 and/or transmit signals to the one or more sensors 250.

The embodiment of the present application relates to a cloud 100, and as shown in fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a possible cloud 100 related to the present application. The cloud owner deploys the cloud computing infrastructure of the cloud 100 itself, i.e., deploys computing resources 110 (e.g., servers), deploys storage resources 120 (e.g., memory), and deploys network resources 130 (e.g., network cards), among others. The public cloud owner (e.g., operator) then virtualizes the computing resources 110, storage resources 120, and network resources 130 of the cloud computing infrastructure and provides the corresponding services for use by cloud users (e.g., subscribers). The operator can provide the following three services for the user to use: cloud computing infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS).

The services provided by IaaS to the user are the utilization of the cloud computing infrastructure, including processing, storage, networking, and other basic computing resources 110, and the user can deploy and run any software, including operating systems and applications, in the cloud 100. Users do not manage or control any cloud computing infrastructure, but can control operating system selection, storage space, deployment applications, and possibly limited network component (e.g., firewall, load balancer, etc.) control.

The services provided by PaaS to users are applications developed or purchased by users using development languages and tools (e.g., Java, python, Net, etc.) provided by vendors, deployed to the cloud computing infrastructure. The user does not need to manage or control the underlying cloud computing infrastructure, including networks, servers, operating systems, storage, etc., but the user can control the deployed applications and possibly also the hosting environment configuration in which the applications are run.

The services provided by SaaS to the user are applications that the operator runs on the cloud computing infrastructure, and the user can access the applications on the cloud computing infrastructure through a client interface, such as a browser, on various terminal devices 200. The user does not need to manage or control any cloud computing infrastructure, including networks, servers, operating systems, storage, and the like.

It can be understood that an operator leases different tenants through any one of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, and data and configuration between different tenants are isolated from each other, thereby ensuring security and privacy of data of each tenant.
