Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence technology, and in particular to a calling method and interface for determining the direction of an approval process. Background Art

[0002] This section is intended to provide a background or context to the embodiments of the invention recited in the claims. No admission is made that the description herein is prior art by inclusion in this section.

[0003] At present, the pre-approval of patent cases is implemented based on the activiti workflow engine. When designing the process, activiti supports writing judgment conditions on the routing line (such as "yes", "no", "qualified" or "unqualified" on the routing route, etc.) to achieve the purpose of different judgment logics going through different approval process links. For example, when the mutual inspection conclusion of the case is unqualified, the routing judgment of the mutual inspection return link is followed. However, there are some scenarios that activiti itself cannot support. For example, when a patent case has been replied to for review twice and has not passed, the default conclusion is that the pre-examination is unqualified. The reason is that the number of replies to be reviewed is a dynamic parameter, not a fixed parameter. Summary of the invention

[0026] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a calling method for determining the direction of an approval process in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method is applied to a calling interface, which is set between every two preset process link nodes of the approval process. The method includes the following steps:

[0027] Step 101: When determining that the direction of the current approval process needs to be determined by calling an interface, obtain the current business scenario parameters;

[0028] Step 102: Determine the approval process direction corresponding to the current business scenario parameters according to the current business scenario parameters and the relationship between the pre-configured business scenario parameters and the approval process direction;

[0029] Step 103: Determine a routing line according to the approval process direction corresponding to the current business scenario parameters; and find the approval process link node for processing the current business according to the determined routing line.

[0030] The calling method for determining the direction of an approval process provided by an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a calling interface, and the calling interface is set between every two preset process link nodes of the approval process. When the calling interface works: when determining that the current approval process direction needs to be judged by calling the interface, the current business scenario parameters are obtained; based on the current business scenario parameters, the relationship between the pre-configured business scenario parameters and the approval process direction, the approval process direction corresponding to the current business scenario parameters is determined; based on the approval process direction corresponding to the current business scenario parameters, a routing line is determined; based on the determined routing line, the approval process link node for processing the current business is found.

[0031] Compared with the technical solution in the prior art that determines the direction of the approval process based on fixed parameters, the business call is complex and cannot meet more approval business scenarios, the calling method for determining the direction of the approval process provided by the embodiment of the present invention can realize real-time interface calling to determine the direction of the approval process, thereby making the complex business interface and meeting more approval business scenarios. The calling method for determining the direction of the approval process is described in detail below.

[0032] In one embodiment, in the above step 101, the above calling method for determining the direction of the approval process may further include: determining whether the current direction of the approval process needs to be judged by calling an interface according to a preset identifier control expression.

[0033] In specific implementation, whether the current approval process direction needs to be judged by calling the interface is determined according to the preset identifier control expression, which further improves the flexibility of calling the approval process direction.

[0034] In one embodiment, the preset identifier control character expression is: ${url:interface address =='1'}, wherein url indicates that the direction of the approval process at this point needs to be determined by calling the interface, and the interface address is configured after url:, and the determination is made based on the return result of the interface address.

[0035] In specific implementation, the preset identifier control expression of ${url: interface address =='1'} is used to determine whether the current approval process direction needs to be judged by calling the interface, which further improves the flexibility and accuracy of calling the approval process direction.

[0036] In the above step 101, the business scenario may be a mutual inspection business scenario in the approval business, a scenario of whether there is a claim mode in quality inspection, a scenario of whether there is a claim mode in mutual inspection, a priority allocation scenario, and the like.

[0037] In one embodiment, in the above step 102, regarding the business scenario parameters, for example, the business scenario parameters corresponding to the priority allocation scenario can be the "assign_first" mentioned below, and the relationship between the business scenario parameters and the approval process direction can be a pre-configured table, which contains a full amount of business scenario parameters and the approval process direction corresponding to each business scenario parameter.

[0038] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned calling method for determining the direction of the approval process may also include pre-configuring the relationship between the business scenario parameters and the direction of the approval process according to the following method:

[0039] According to each approval business requirement, determine the business scenario where the direction of the approval process needs to be determined by calling the interface;

[0040] Assign corresponding business scenario parameters to each business scenario that needs to determine the direction of the approval process by calling the interface;

[0041] Configure the relationship between different business scenario parameters and different approval process directions.

[0042] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned implementation method of pre-configuring the relationship between the business scenario parameters and the approval process direction further improves the flexibility of calling the approval process direction.

[0043] In the above step 103, the routing line is determined according to the determined approval process trend, for example Figure 3 Fill in the routing line between the case information node and the node to be assigned, and find the approval process link node for processing the current business based on the determined routing line, such as Figure 3 The "To be allocated" node in .

[0044] In order to further understand how the present invention is implemented, Figures 2 to 4 Provide detailed explanation.

[0045] The embodiment of the present invention abstractly forms a method for determining the direction of a process by real-time interface calls to solve the problem of real-time judgment of business values. This method introduces interface judgment to determine the direction of process routing, which can replace the traditional variable method and expand the problems that the variable method cannot solve, thereby making complex business interfaces and simplifying them to meet more approval business scenarios. The following is a detailed introduction.

[0046] The calling method for determining the direction of the approval process provided by the embodiment of the present invention is a text marking method that reduces the complexity of code logic; the process is initiated, there are process variables, and the variables are applied on the branch to get this value. The way in which the universal symbol controls the process branching, how to form the specification, and the wildcard writing method reduce the amount of code; based on the branch direction judgment rules of the activiti workflow engine itself, it is controlled by means of process variables. However, in the actual working process, some parameters are not solidified at the time of initialization, but are dynamically variable. Based on such a scenario, the embodiment of the present invention requires a set of real-time calling interface to judge the direction mechanism, so the embodiment of the present invention abstractly forms a set of process direction judgment mechanism: ${url: interface address =='1'} syntax to solve the impact of real-time changing data on the process direction.

[0047] According to the approval business needs, different parameter configurations determine different approval directions of the process. Therefore, the direction of the process here will read the content of the parameter configuration table, but the workflow engine itself does not provide a mechanism to read the business table to determine the direction. Therefore, according to business needs, the embodiment of the present invention abstracts the expression language that supports the business interface to determine the direction of the process: ${url:interface address == '1'}; wherein, url indicates that the interface method is to be used for judgment, and the interface address is configured after url:. The return result of the interface address is used for judgment, and true or false is returned. If the return result is true, when the subsequent process direction is determined, the corresponding routing line will be automatically found, and the process link corresponding to the routing line will be finally determined, thereby solving the judgment of the complex approval business process direction. Next, combined with Figures 2 to 4 Give an example.

[0048] The process direction is determined according to the configuration content of the configuration center, for example: Figure 2 As shown in , if the configuration center checks the priority allocation (that is, the business scenario parameters of priority allocation), then Figure 3As shown, after the application is initiated, the process should automatically go to the stage to be assigned. It can be seen that the existing solution is to fill in the case information process stage node and the stage node to be assigned with fixed parameters, such as "yes", "no", "qualified" or "unqualified", etc., while the embodiment of the present invention sets a call interface to determine the direction of the approval process between every two preset process stage nodes, and the judgment condition is a real-time call interface, such as Figure 3 Fill in the "priority allocation and number release mode or no appointment mode and no claim" between the case information process link node and the process link node to be allocated. The interface calling implementation method can be: ${'url:xxx'='assign_first'}, where "xxx" is the interface address, which determines the direction of the approval process, and "assign_first" is the business scenario parameter. At this time, the business scenario is priority allocation.

[0049] In another example, the process direction is determined according to the configuration content of the configuration center. For example, if the quality inspection includes the claim mode (business scenario) in the configuration center, when it comes to the quality inspection stage, it will automatically flow to the quality inspection claim stage. For detailed implementation methods, please refer to the implementation of the priority allocation scenario above.

[0050] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention realize the interface-based operation of complex business logic, which makes the business logic flexible and controllable and achieves the purpose of easy maintenance.

[0051] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a calling interface for determining the direction of the approval process, as described in the following embodiment. Since the principle of solving the problem by the interface is similar to the calling method for determining the direction of the approval process, the implementation of the interface can refer to the implementation of the calling method for determining the direction of the approval process, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0052] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a calling interface for determining the direction of an approval process in an embodiment of the present invention. The calling interface is set between every two preset process link nodes of the approval process. Figure 4 As shown, the calling interface includes:

[0055] The determination unit 03 is used to determine a routing line according to the approval process trend corresponding to the current business scenario parameters; and find the approval process link node for processing the current business according to the determined routing line.

[0056] In one embodiment, the calling interface for determining the direction of the approval process may further include: a configuration unit for pre-configuring the relationship between the business scenario parameters and the direction of the approval process according to the following method:

[0057] According to the approval business requirements, determine the business scenarios that require determining the direction of the approval process by calling the interface;

[0058] Assign corresponding business scenario parameters to business scenarios that need to determine the direction of the approval process by calling interfaces;

[0059] Configure the relationship between different business scenario parameters and different approval process directions.

[0060] In one embodiment, the calling interface for determining the direction of the approval process may further include: a judgment unit for determining whether the direction of the current approval process needs to be judged by calling the interface according to a preset identifier control expression.

[0061] In one embodiment, the preset identifier control expression can be: ${url:interface address =='1'}, where url indicates that the direction of the approval process at this point needs to be judged by calling the interface, and the interface address is configured after url:, and the judgment is made based on the return result of the interface address.

[0062] Based on the above invention concept, Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also proposes a computer device 500, including a memory 510, a processor 520, and a computer program 530 stored in the memory 510 and executable on the processor 520, wherein the processor 520 implements the aforementioned fund information processing method when executing the computer program 530.
