[0061] By reading the detailed description below with reference to the accompanying drawings, the above and other purposes, features and advantages of the exemplary embodiments of the present application will become easy to understand. In the accompanying drawings, several embodiments of the present application are shown in an exemplary and non-limiting manner, and the same or corresponding reference numerals represent the same or corresponding parts, wherein:

[0066] The exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present application and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0067] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by technicians in the field to which this application belongs.

[0068] In the prior art, workflow codes are usually deployed in the business system, and the business system uses the workflow code to perform workflow management on multiple participating nodes in the target business process (i.e., the target business form approval process), thereby controlling multiple participating nodes to automatically execute the approval task of the target business form according to a predetermined process.

[0069] However, deploying the workflow code in the business side system requires coupling the workflow code with the business side system code. Therefore, deploying the workflow code in the business side system is not conducive to the maintenance and adjustment of the business side system code.

[0070] In view of the problems existing in the process of implementing workflow management for multiple participating nodes in a target business process in the prior art, an embodiment of the present application provides a business form approval method, in which a business form approval program is pre-deployed in each node included in a workflow system, so that the business form approval program in each participating node in the target business process controls the multiple participating nodes to automatically execute the approval task of the target business form according to the target business process, thereby realizing workflow management for multiple participating nodes in the target business process without deploying workflow code in the business party system, and thus will not affect the maintenance and adjustment of the business party system code, as shown in the specific example. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0071] 101. Receive first business form information corresponding to a target business form sent by a target preceding node.

[0072] Among them, different business processes require approval of different business forms, and the target business form is the business form that needs to be approved in the target business process; wherein, the first business form information corresponding to the target business form includes the first form data contained in the target business form and the unique identifier corresponding to the target business form, and the first predecessor approval result; wherein, the first predecessor approval result is the approval result input to the target predecessor node after the approver at the target predecessor node approves the target business form rendered and output by the target predecessor node, and the approval result input to the predecessor node corresponding to the target predecessor node after the approver at the predecessor node corresponding to the target predecessor node approves the target business form rendered and output by the predecessor node corresponding to the target predecessor node.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, the executing entity in each step is a business form approval program deployed in the current node; wherein the current node is any node participating in the target business process in the workflow system, and the workflow system includes multiple nodes; wherein the multiple nodes included in the workflow system present a directed acyclic graph structure, that is, the current node has one or more predecessor nodes and one or more successor nodes.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the approval result input by the approver at the target predecessor node, the business form approval program in the target predecessor node will send the first business form information corresponding to the target business form to the business form approval program in the current node. At this time, the business form approval program in the current node will receive the first business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by the target predecessor node.

[0075] It should be noted that, in actual application, when the target predecessor node is specifically the initiating node for creating the target business form, the first business form information corresponding to the target business form and sent by the target predecessor node does not include the first predecessor approval result.

[0076] 102. Obtain a preset node startup condition corresponding to the current node according to the unique identifier corresponding to the target business form, and determine whether the preset node startup condition is met.

[0077] Among them, for different business forms, the current node needs to meet different node startup conditions, that is, different business forms correspond to different current node startup conditions. The business party system will send the mapping relationship between the unique identifier corresponding to each business form and the current node startup condition to the business form approval program in the current node in advance. The business form approval program in the current node will store the mapping relationship between the unique identifier corresponding to each business form and the current node startup condition in the local storage space of the current node; Among them, because, in some cases, the current node can start the approval task of executing the target business form after receiving the first business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by the target predecessor node, and in some cases After the current node receives the first business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by the target predecessor node, it needs to receive the second business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by other predecessor nodes before it can start the approval task of executing the target business form. Therefore, the preset node start condition corresponding to the current node can be but is not limited to any one of the following conditions: (1) the business form approval program in the current node receives the first business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by the target predecessor node; (2) the business form approval program in the current node receives the first business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by the target predecessor node and the second business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by other predecessor nodes, etc.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the first business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by the target predecessor node, the business form approval program in the current node can obtain the preset node startup condition corresponding to the current node according to the unique identifier corresponding to the target business form, and determine whether the preset node startup condition is met.

[0079] 103. If the conditions are met, the target business form is rendered and output according to the first previous approval result and the first form data corresponding to the target business form, so that the approver corresponding to the current node can approve the target business form.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the preset node startup conditions are met, the business form approval program in the current node can render and output the target business form based on the first preceding approval result and the first form data corresponding to the target business form, that is, first render the target business form based on the first preceding approval result and the first form data corresponding to the target business form, and then output and display the rendered target business form, so that one or more approvers at the current node can approve the target business form.

[0081] It should be noted that when it is determined that the preset node startup condition is not met, the business form approval program in the current node needs to store the first business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by the target predecessor node into the local storage space and wait.

[0082] 104. When the current approval result input by the approver is received, the unique identifier corresponding to the target business form, the first preceding approval result, the current approval result and the first form data are sent to each target subsequent node.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the current approval result input by each approver, the business form approval program in the current node can send the unique identifier corresponding to the target business form, the first preceding approval result, the current approval result and the first form data to each target subsequent node, so that each target subsequent node can act as the current node and automatically execute the business form approval task according to the plan recorded in the above steps 101-104.

[0084] It should be noted that in actual application, the business form approval program in the current node also needs to send the unique identifier corresponding to the target business form, the first previous approval result, the current approval result and the first form data to the business party system for backup.

[0085] The embodiment of the present application provides a business form approval method. In the embodiment of the present application, after the business form approval program in the current node receives the first form data sent by the target predecessor node and carrying the first form data contained in the target business form, the unique identifier corresponding to the target business form and the first predecessor approval result, the business form approval program in the current node obtains the preset node start condition corresponding to the current node according to the unique identifier corresponding to the target business form, and determines whether the preset node start condition is met. When it is determined that the preset node start condition is met, the business form approval program in the current node renders and outputs the target business form according to the first predecessor approval result and the first form data corresponding to the target business form, so that one or more approvers at the current node approve the target business form. After receiving the current approval result input by each approver, the business form approval program in the current node can send the unique identifier, the first predecessor approval result, the current approval result and the first form data corresponding to the target business form to each target subsequent node, so that each target subsequent node automatically executes the business form approval task according to the above scheme. In an embodiment of the present application, the business form approval program in each participating node participating in the target business process controls multiple participating nodes to automatically execute the approval task of the target business form according to the target business process, thereby realizing workflow management of multiple participating nodes participating in the target business process without deploying workflow code in the business party system.

[0086] To explain in more detail below, the present application embodiment provides another business form approval method, which is applied to the current node in the workflow system. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0087] 201. Receive a unique identifier and a preset form template corresponding to each business form sent by a business party system, and store a mapping relationship between the unique identifier and the preset form template corresponding to each business form in a local storage space.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present application, the business party system will send the unique identifier and preset form template corresponding to each business form to the business form approval program in the current node in advance; after receiving the unique identifier and preset form template corresponding to each business form sent by the business party system, the business form approval program in the current node will store the mapping relationship between the unique identifier corresponding to each business form and the preset form template in the local storage space, so that the business form approval program in the current node can subsequently obtain the preset form template corresponding to a business form in the local storage space according to the unique identifier corresponding to a business form, and render the business form based on the preset form template corresponding to the business form.

[0089] 202. Receive first business form information corresponding to a target business form sent by a target preceding node.

[0090] Regarding step 202, receiving the first business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by the target predecessor node, please refer to Figure 1 The description of the corresponding parts will not be repeated here in the embodiments of the present application.

[0091] 203. Obtain the preset node startup condition corresponding to the current node according to the unique identifier corresponding to the target business form, and determine whether the preset node startup condition is met.

[0092] Among them, regarding step 203, obtaining the preset node startup condition corresponding to the current node according to the unique identifier corresponding to the target business form, and judging whether the preset node startup condition is met, please refer to Figure 1 The description of the corresponding parts will not be repeated here in the embodiments of the present application.

[0093] 204. If satisfied, modify the node attribute and the first form data corresponding to the current node.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the preset node startup conditions are met, the business form approval program in the current node can modify the node attributes and the first form data corresponding to the current node, so that the business form approval program in the current node has the conditions to meet the rendering of the target business form, and processes the first form data according to the business party system requirements.

[0095] Specifically, in this step, (1) when the preset node startup condition is specifically receiving the first business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by the target predecessor node, the business form approval program in the current node needs to send the first form data corresponding to the target business form to the business party system, so that the business party system determines the first modification information corresponding to the current node according to the first form data, and sends the first modification information corresponding to the current node to the business form approval program in the current node; after receiving the first modification information sent by the business party system, the business form approval program in the current node can modify the node attribute and the first form data corresponding to the current node according to the first modification information; (2) when the preset node startup condition is specifically receiving the first business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by the target predecessor node and the second modification information corresponding to the target business form sent by other predecessor nodes, When receiving business form information, the business form approval program in the current node needs to send the first form data and the second form data corresponding to the target business form to the business party system, so that the business party system can determine the second modification information corresponding to the current node according to the first form data and the second form data, and send the second modification information corresponding to the current node to the business form approval program in the current node; after receiving the second modification information sent by the business party system, the business form approval program in the current node can modify the node attributes, the first form data and the second form data corresponding to the current node according to the second modification information, wherein the second form data is the form data included in the second business form information; wherein, the target predecessor node and other predecessor nodes are all predecessor nodes of the current node, and the number of other predecessor nodes can be one or more, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0096] 205. Render and output the target business form according to the first previous approval result corresponding to the target business form and the modified first form data, so that the approver corresponding to the current node can approve the target business form.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, after the business form approval program in the current node modifies the node attributes and the first form data corresponding to the current node, it can render and output the target business form according to the first preceding approval result and the first form data corresponding to the target business form. That is, the target business form is first rendered according to the first preceding approval result and the first form data corresponding to the target business form, and then the rendered target business form is output and displayed, so that one or more approvers at the current node can approve the target business form.

[0098] Specifically, in this step, the business form approval program in the current node renders and outputs the target business form according to the first previous approval result corresponding to the target business form and the modified first form data in the following manner:

[0099] First, the preset form template corresponding to the target business form is obtained in the local storage space of the current node according to the unique identifier corresponding to the target business form; secondly, when the preset node startup condition is specifically receiving the first business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by the target predecessor node, that is, in step 204, the business form approval procedure in the current node modifies the node attribute and the first form data corresponding to the current node according to the first modification information, the target business form is rendered and output according to the preset form template corresponding to the target business form, the first predecessor approval result and the modified first form data; when the preset node startup condition is receiving the first business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by the target predecessor node and the second business form information corresponding to the target business form sent by other predecessor nodes, that is, in step 204, when The business form approval procedure in the previous node is to render and output the target business form according to the first previous approval result, the modified first form data, the second previous approval result, and the modified second form data when modifying the node attributes, the first form data and the second form data corresponding to the current node according to the second modification information; wherein the second previous approval result is the previous approval result included in the second business form information, that is, the second previous approval result is specifically the approval result input to the other previous nodes after the approvers at other previous nodes approve the target business form rendered and output by other previous nodes, and the approval result input to the previous nodes corresponding to other previous nodes after the approvers at the previous nodes corresponding to other previous nodes approve the target business form rendered and output by the previous nodes corresponding to other previous nodes.

[0100] 206. When the current approval result input by the approver is received, the unique identifier corresponding to the target business form, the first preceding approval result, the current approval result and the first form data are sent to each target subsequent node.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the current approval result input by each approver, the business form approval program in the current node can send the unique identifier corresponding to the target business form, the first preceding approval result, the current approval result and the first form data to each target subsequent node, so that each target subsequent node can act as the current node and automatically execute the business form approval task according to the plan recorded in the above steps 101-104.

[0102] Among them, for different business forms, the current node corresponds to different subsequent nodes. The business party system will send the mapping relationship between the unique identifier corresponding to each business form and the subsequent node corresponding to the current node to the business form approval program in the current node in advance. The business form approval program in the current node will store the mapping relationship between the unique identifier corresponding to each business form and the subsequent node corresponding to the current node in the local storage space of the current node.
