Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the fields of information technology and fintech, and more particularly to a process method, apparatus, device and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the times, the concept of "letting data do the legwork so that the public doesn't have to" has taken root in people's hearts. The obvious change brought about by this is that various business processing matters are becoming increasingly clear, and workflows are being used more and more frequently in information systems. Because workflows in information systems are strongly correlated with business processing procedures, but in reality, business processing procedures often iterate and change continuously with actual management requirements, leading to constant modifications to the processes in the information system, increasing the complexity and cost of system management.

[0003] Currently, automated management system processes mainly employ three approaches: First, the state machine method. This method uses several fields to record the current state value. Each time the process changes, the state value is updated to record the process state. The state machine method is suitable for simple processes; for multiple processes, a separate table is used to record the process state. Second, the general process design method. This method uses a workflow engine to solve process problems. It uniformly organizes and analyzes all known processes, drawing a flowchart that includes all process scenarios. Each change in the process is calculated by the workflow engine and then adjusted according to the flowchart. Third, the specialized process design method. This method uses a workflow engine to solve process problems, drawing a separate flowchart for each business process, designing and handling each process individually.

[0004] State machines are only suitable for simple processes. For complex processes, using state machines requires the business logic layer to consider not only changes in business logic but also changes in process states, often leading to high code complexity and logical confusion. General process design, by introducing a workflow engine, eliminates the need for the business logic layer to consider process state changes, allowing it to focus on business logic. This method is easy to implement, but when any process is modified, the impact is global due to the general design, potentially affecting other processes. Furthermore, when a new process emerges, it may not integrate with existing processes, requiring a redesign of new process branches, further complicating the flowchart. Specialized process design, because it designs and develops specifically for each process, means that modifications to one process often do not affect others. New processes are also developed separately, resulting in good isolation between processes; a modification to one process will not affect others. However, this method involves more code and has higher maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, this disclosure provides process processing methods, apparatus, equipment and storage media.

[0006] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, a process processing method is provided, comprising: extracting the constituent elements of a flowchart, the constituent elements including process steps, execution roles, and personnel; generating a step routing table, a step role table, and a personnel role table based on the process logic of the flowchart, the step routing table recording the matching relationship between each process step and the next process step, the step role table recording the execution roles of each process step, and the personnel role table recording the personnel who perform the execution roles; responding to a process action request, matching the personnel corresponding to the execution role of the current process step based on the step role table and the personnel role table, and executing the current process step; matching the next process step of the current process step based on the step routing table, and repeating the previous step until the flowchart is completed.

[0007] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the elements of the process routing table include a current process stage number, a next process stage number, a first matching value, and a routing value. The first matching value represents the result of matching the current process stage and the next process stage based on a first preset condition, and the routing value represents the path from the current process stage to the next process stage. Matching the next process stage based on the process routing table includes: obtaining the first matching value based on the first preset condition; and obtaining the routing value corresponding to the first matching value from the process routing table to obtain the next process stage matching the current process stage.

[0008] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, the method further includes: generating a pre-process action table based on the process logic of the flowchart; wherein the pre-process action table records the current process step, the second matching value and the pre-process action corresponding to the second matching value, and the second matching value represents the result of condition matching based on the second preset condition before executing the current process step, used to determine whether the first preset condition needs to be modified based on the pre-process action.

[0009] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, before executing the current process step, the method further includes: obtaining the second matching value based on the second preset condition; when the second matching value satisfies the preceding condition, executing the preceding action, the preceding action being used to change the first preset condition, so that the next process step is changed according to the first preset condition; when the second matching value does not satisfy the preceding condition, executing the current process step.

[0010] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, the method further includes: generating a step-by-step action table based on the process logic of the flowchart; wherein the step-by-step action table records the current process step, the next process step, a third matching value, and the step-by-step action corresponding to the third matching value, wherein the third matching value represents the result of condition matching based on a third preset condition before entering the next process step after the current process step ends, and is used to determine whether the next process step needs to be changed based on the step-by-step action.

[0011] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, after the current process step is completed, the method further includes: obtaining the third matching value based on the third preset condition; when the third matching value meets the subsequent condition, performing a subsequent action, the subsequent action being used to modify the routing value and change the next process step; when the third matching value does not meet the subsequent condition, entering the next process step that was originally successfully matched.

[0012] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, the method further includes: when the flowchart changes, modifying the process routing table, the process role table, and the personnel role table based on the change logic.

[0013] Another aspect of this disclosure provides a process processing apparatus, comprising: a process element extraction module for extracting constituent elements of a flowchart, the constituent elements including process steps, execution roles, and personnel; a relationship table generation module for generating a step routing table, a step role table, and a personnel role table based on the process logic of the flowchart, the step routing table recording the matching relationship between each process step and the next process step, the step role table recording the execution roles of each process step, and the personnel role table recording the personnel who perform the execution roles; an action request execution module for responding to a process action request, matching the personnel corresponding to the execution role of the current process step based on the step role table and the personnel role table, and executing the current process step; and a process progress advancement module for matching the next process step of the current process step based on the step routing table, repeating the previous step, until the flowchart is completed.

[0014] A third aspect of this disclosure provides an electronic device comprising: one or more processors; and a memory for storing one or more programs, wherein when the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors perform the methods described above.

[0015] A fourth aspect of this disclosure also provides a computer-readable storage medium having executable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the methods described above.

[0016] According to the process processing method, apparatus, equipment, and storage medium provided in this disclosure, by simplifying the process into multiple component elements, various tables reflecting the process logic are generated based on these component elements. Managing the process through these tables makes the expression of the process more flexible and facilitates its management and modification. According to this method, when the process changes, some process logic can be modified by adjusting the step routing table; the operation is simple and does not affect the overall logic.

[0029] The embodiments of this disclosure provide a process processing method that simplifies the process into multiple components, generates multiple tables reflecting the process logic based on the components, and manages the process through tables, making the expression of the process more flexible and facilitating the modification and management of the process.

[0030] Figure 1 The diagram illustrates an application scenario of the process processing method and apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, application scenario 100 according to this embodiment may include process usage scenarios in the financial industry. Network 104 is used as a medium to provide a communication link between the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the third terminal device 103, and the server 105. Network 104 may include various connection types, such as wired, wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables, etc.

[0032] Users can interact with server 105 via network 104 using at least one of the first terminal device 101, second terminal device 102, and third terminal device 103 to receive or send messages, etc. Various communication client applications can be installed on the first terminal device 101, second terminal device 102, and third terminal device 103, such as shopping applications, web browser applications, search applications, instant messaging tools, email clients, social media platform software, etc. (for example only).

[0033] The first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103 can be various electronic devices with displays and support web browsing, including but not limited to smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers.

[0034] Server 105 can be a server that provides various services, such as a backend management server that supports websites browsed by users using the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103 (this is just an example). The backend management server can analyze and process data such as received user requests, and feed back the processing results (such as web pages, information, or data obtained or generated according to user requests) to the terminal devices.

[0035] It should be noted that the process processing method provided in this embodiment can generally be executed by server 105. Correspondingly, the process processing device provided in this embodiment can generally be located in server 105. The process processing method provided in this embodiment can also be executed by a server or server cluster that is different from server 105 and capable of communicating with the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the third terminal device 103, and / or server 105. Correspondingly, the process processing device provided in this embodiment can also be located in a server or server cluster that is different from server 105 and capable of communicating with the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the third terminal device 103, and / or server 105.

[0036] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices, networks, and servers shown is merely illustrative. Depending on implementation needs, any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers can be included.

[0037] The following will be based on Figure 1 The described scene, through Figure 2 The process processing method of the disclosed embodiments will be described in detail.

[0038] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a process processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the process processing method of this embodiment includes operations S210 to S240.

[0040] In operation S210, extract the components of the flowchart, including process steps, execution roles, and personnel.

[0041] Specifically, the flowchart includes multiple process steps arranged in logical order. Once one process step is completed, it moves to the next. Each process step includes the object that processes that step and the object being processed, i.e., the role in that step. Each role maps to a real-world participant. The process steps, roles, and personnel in the flowchart can be extracted and recorded in the following tables. IDs can be used to represent these roles in the step, role, and personnel tables. Additional descriptive items can be added to the tables as needed, such as the "region" in Table 1, indicating which regions the step applies to when the process is applicable to multiple regions.

[0042] Table 1. Steps

[0043]

[0044] Table 2 Character Table

[0045]

[0046] Table 3 Personnel Table

[0047]

[0048] When operating S220, based on the process logic of the flowchart, a process routing table, a process role table, and a personnel role table are generated. The process routing table records the matching relationship between each process step and the next process step, the process role table records the execution role of each process step, and the personnel role table records the personnel who perform the execution role.

[0049] Table 4. Link Routing Table

[0050]

[0051] Table 4 schematically illustrates the process routing table. The elements of the routing table include the current process stage number, the next process stage number, the first matching value, and the routing value. The first matching value represents the result of matching the current process stage and the next process stage based on a first preset condition. The routing value represents the path from the current process stage to the next process stage. The first preset condition can be a condition in various matching methods, including but not limited to comparison expressions, regular expressions, functions, chained processing, and SQL processing. Using multiple matching methods in combination makes process stage routing selection more flexible. Table 5 provides a detailed explanation of the matching methods and matching values.

[0052] Table 5 Matching methods and matching values

[0053]

[0054] In this embodiment, according to Table 4, a first matching value can be obtained based on the first preset conditions, and the routing value corresponding to the first matching value can be obtained from the process routing table to obtain the next process step that matches the current process step.

[0055] Table 6 Roles in Each Stage

[0056]

[0057] In this embodiment, the process role table records the correspondence between processes and roles. By having the corresponding role, one can see the items in the corresponding process.

[0058] Table 7 Personnel Roles

[0059]

[0060] In this embodiment, the personnel role table records the correspondence between personnel and roles, and the correspondence between personnel and roles can be many-to-many.

[0061] In operation S230, in response to a process action request, the system matches the personnel corresponding to the execution role of the current process step based on the step role table and the personnel role table, and then executes the current process step.

[0062] In this embodiment, process action requests can be initiated by the requesting personnel of the current process stage before each process stage is executed, or they can be initiated sequentially at the initial stage of a process, with each subsequent process stage being executed in order. Within each process stage, the corresponding personnel for the corresponding role can be retrieved from the stage role table and the personnel role table based on the stage ID to execute the current process stage.

[0063] In operation S240, the next process step of the current process step is matched based on the process routing table, and the previous step is repeated until the flowchart is completed.

[0064] In this embodiment, the matching value of the current routed link is calculated according to the link routing table to obtain the next process link, and the process is advanced to the next process link. After entering the next process link, the next process link becomes the current process link, and operations S230 and S240 are repeated to continue advancing the process progress.

[0065] According to the process processing method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the flowchart is changed to use table records for management, which is flexible in representation and facilitates process management and modification.

[0066] Based on operations S210 to S240, the process processing method provided in this embodiment may further include operation S250.

[0067] When operating S250, a list of preceding actions for each step is generated based on the process logic of the flowchart.

[0068] Table 8 Pre-processing Actions

[0069]

[0070] As shown in Table 8, the pre-process action table records the current process stage, the second matching value, and the pre-process action corresponding to the second matching value. The second matching value represents the result of condition matching based on the second preset condition after the previous process stage matches and enters the current process stage, before executing the current process stage. It is used to determine whether the first preset condition needs to be modified based on the pre-process action. The second preset condition includes at least several matching methods such as comparison expressions, regular expressions, functions, chained processing, and SQL processing.

[0071] In this embodiment, the pre-process action table is applied before the current process step is executed, including operations S251 to S253.

[0072] In operation S251, a second matching value is obtained based on the second preset condition. Specifically, the second preset condition can limit the overall execution conditions of the process and can be used to address special needs.

[0073] In operation S252, when the second matching value meets the preceding condition, the preceding action is executed. The preceding action is used to change the first preset condition, so that the next process step is changed according to the first preset condition.

[0074] In operation S253, when the second matching value does not meet the preceding conditions, the current process step is executed, and the next process step is determined based on the original first preset conditions.

[0075] For example, a condition can be set before the current process step. For instance, if the current time is November 7th, the date of the APEC summit in Beijing, it would normally be a weekday, but due to local regulations, it's a holiday during the summit. Because a 1-comparison expression is used, the value 1 > 0 is always true, so the preceding action `BJHoliday` is executed, converting November 7th to a holiday. When processing the current process step, the processing logic can be changed to handle special dates. Setting up a preceding action table increases the flexibility and richness of the process, simplifying process management complexity compared to drawing flowcharts.

[0076] It should be noted that in operation S252, changing the first preset condition can mean changing at least one of the multiple limiting attributes included in the first preset condition. For example, suppose the original first preset condition is a regular expression:

[0077] worktime@Holiday@location@@11*|**0;

[0078] This regular expression is used to determine whether the current process step occurs during working hours, holidays, or a specified location. Based on the above three combined conditions, the matching value of the next process step is obtained. When the conditions change, at least one of the working hours, holidays, and specified locations can be changed according to the actual situation, so that the original first preset condition changes. The first matching value obtained according to the first preset condition also changes accordingly, thereby changing the next process step.

[0079] Optionally, changing the first preset condition can also mean changing the first preset condition itself. For example, when the original first preset condition is a comparison expression, in some special periods, the first preset condition can be changed to a regular expression that combines multiple conditions.

[0080] The process processing method provided in this embodiment may further include operation S260.

[0081] When operating S260, a table of subsequent actions for each step is generated based on the process logic of the flowchart.

[0082] Table 9. Post-Step Actions Table

[0083]

[0084] As shown in Table 9, the post-process action table records the current process step, the next process step, the third matching value, and the post-process action corresponding to the third matching value. The third matching value represents the result of condition matching based on the third preset condition after the current process step ends and before entering the next process step. It is used to determine whether the next process step needs to be changed based on the post-process action. The third preset condition includes at least several matching methods such as comparison expressions, regular expressions, functions, chained processing, and SQL processing.

[0085] In this embodiment, the post-process action table is applied after the current process step is executed, including operations S261 to S263.

[0086] In operation S261, a third matching value is obtained based on the third preset condition.

[0087] In operation S262, when the third matching value meets the subsequent conditions, the subsequent action is executed. The subsequent action is used to modify the routing value and change the next process step.

[0088] In operation S263, when the third matching value does not meet the subsequent conditions, the process proceeds to the next step after the original successful match.

[0089] For example, in a company's vehicle dispatch process, according to the general dispatch procedure, when a vehicle dispatch request is made within the company on a weekday, it only needs to go through the department head approval stage A before proceeding to the dispatch stage B. However, when there are temporary adjustments such as dispatching vehicles to external locations, the vehicle needs to go through the company head approval stage C before dispatching. According to the process handling method provided in this embodiment, to deal with temporary adjustments, after the original department head approval stage A has been approved by some managers, a third preset condition can be added for subsequent judgment, that is, to determine whether the current vehicle dispatch is an external dispatch. The judgment result is a third matching value, which can be represented by a numerical value, an inequality, a truth value, etc. When the current vehicle dispatch is an external dispatch, the third matching value can be represented by a numerical value of 1; when the current vehicle dispatch is an internal dispatch, the third matching value can be represented by a numerical value of 0. In this embodiment, assuming the subsequent condition is whether the third matching value is greater than 0, if the third matching value is greater than 0, meaning the dispatch is for external use, then a subsequent action needs to be added: a unit head approval step C is added between the department head approval step A and the dispatch step B. That is, the next step after the department head approval step A is changed to the unit head approval step C. If the third matching value is not greater than 0, meaning the dispatch is for internal use, then no subsequent action is needed to adjust the process; the original process can be followed sequentially, executing the department head approval step A and the dispatch step B. Furthermore, during certain periods of strict control, the dispatch process is more stringent, requiring the execution of a subsequent condition. This subsequent condition could be, for example, a condition like 1>0 that is always true, strictly limiting the dispatch process during these periods to department head approval step A → unit head approval step C → dispatch step B.

[0090] The process processing method provided in this embodiment uses a combination of a pre-process action table and a post-process action table to make the process expression richer, more flexible, and more adaptable.

[0091] In this embodiment, when the flowchart changes, the step routing table, step role table, and personnel role table are modified based on the change logic. When a step pre-order table and a step post-order table exist, these tables can also be modified according to actual needs. The method provided in this disclosure organizes the components and logical relationships in the flowchart into a table management system, simplifying the representation of the flowchart, allowing for more flexible combinations of components, enhancing expressiveness, improving adaptability, and making management and modification simpler compared to flowcharts.

[0092] Figure 3A and Figure 3B Each of the following flowchart examples is illustrated schematically according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0093] like Figure 3A and 3BThis document illustrates the vehicle dispatch processes for a company's branches in Yunnan and Beijing. The Yunnan dispatch process includes steps YN001, YN002, YN003, YN004, YN005, and YN006, while the Beijing dispatch process includes steps BJ001, BJ002, BJ003, BJ004, and BJ005. Both processes can be managed using the same step routing table.

[0094] Table 10

[0095]

[0096] In the table, Yunnan is abbreviated as YN and Beijing as BJ. The matching method is shown in Table 5, where the matching value is the specific matching condition. As shown in Table 10, in the Yunnan vehicle dispatch process, the next steps after step YN002 include YN003, YN004, and YN006, all of which use regular expressions for matching. Specifically, when YN002 successfully matches YN003 using a regular expression, the corresponding route value is 1, and the process continues along the path indicated by this route value to the process branch containing YN003. When YN002 successfully matches YN004 using a regular expression, the corresponding route value is 2, and the process continues along the path indicated by this route value to the process branch containing YN004. When YN002 successfully matches YN006 using a regular expression, the corresponding route value is 3, and the process continues along the path indicated by this route value to the process branch containing YN006.

[0097] Table 11 shows the preliminary steps in one of the vehicle dispatching processes in Beijing.

[0098] Table 11

[0099]

[0100] For example, if the current time is November 7th, the date of the APEC summit in Beijing, it would normally be a weekday. However, due to local regulations designating the summit period as a public holiday, it is considered a weekday. Because a 1-comparison expression is used, where 1 > 0 is always true, the BJHoliday method is executed to convert November 7th into a public holiday.

[0101] Table 12 shows two subsequent actions in the Yunnan vehicle dispatch process.

[0102] Table 12

[0103]

[0104] As shown in Table 12, if, after matching, the next step after the current step YN002 is YN006 or YN004, then subsequent actions can be matched using SQL statements. For example, if certain branches implement strict controls for a period of time, requiring all bus applications to be approved by branch management (YN005) before use, meaning YN002 can only proceed to node YN003 before reaching node YN005, SQL matching can be used. If the original next step after YN002 was YN006, after SQL execution, the strict control condition is matched, and the `modiRoute` method is executed, changing the next process step to YN003. Then, after passing through YN005, YN006 is executed. The `modiRoute` method essentially modifies the routing value for matching the next node from the current node.

[0105] The process processing method provided in this disclosure simplifies the process into multiple components and generates various tables reflecting the process logic based on these components. Managing the process through these tables facilitates modification; if the process changes, the routing table can be adjusted directly. This method, in conjunction with pre-process and post-process action tables, makes the process expression richer, more flexible, and more adaptable, allowing for configuration and setting of different actions based on various conditions. Furthermore, this method employs multiple matching methods, making routing selection more flexible.

[0106] Based on the above-described process processing method, this disclosure also provides a process processing apparatus. The following will be combined with... Figure 4 The device is described in detail.

[0107] Figure 4 A schematic block diagram of a process processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0108] like Figure 4 As shown, the process processing device 400 in this embodiment includes a process element extraction module 410, a relationship table generation module 420, an action request execution module 430, and a process progress advancement module 440.

[0109] The process element extraction module 410 is used to extract the constituent elements of the flowchart, including process steps, execution roles, and personnel. In one embodiment, the process element extraction module 410 can be used to perform the operation S210 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0110] The relationship table generation module 420 is used to generate a process routing table, a process role table, and a personnel role table based on the flowchart's process logic. The process routing table records the matching relationship between each process step and the next process step, the process role table records the execution role of each process step, and the personnel role table records the personnel who perform the execution role. In one embodiment, the relationship table generation module 420 can be used to perform the operation S220 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0111] The action request execution module 430 is used to respond to a process action request, match the personnel corresponding to the execution role of the current process step based on the step role table and the personnel role table, and execute the current process step. In one embodiment, the action request execution module 430 can be used to execute the operation S230 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0112] The process progress advancement module 440 is used to match the next process step of the current process step based on the step routing table, repeating the previous step until the flowchart is completed. In one embodiment, the process progress advancement module 440 can be used to execute the operation S240 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0113] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the elements of the process routing table include the current process stage number, the next process stage number, a first matching value, and a routing value, wherein the first matching value represents the result of matching the current process stage and the next process stage based on a first preset condition, and the routing value represents the path from the current process stage to the next process stage.

[0114] The process progress advancement module 440 is specifically used to obtain the first matching value based on the first preset conditions; obtain the routing value corresponding to the first matching value from the process routing table, and obtain the next process step that matches the current process step.

[0115] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, the process processing device 400 further includes a pre-process module for generating a pre-process action table based on the process logic of the flowchart; wherein, the pre-process action table records the current process stage, the second matching value, and the pre-process action corresponding to the second matching value, and the second matching value represents the result of condition matching based on the second preset condition before executing the current process stage after the previous process stage matches and enters the current process stage, and is used to determine whether the first preset condition needs to be modified based on the pre-process action.

[0116] The pre-process module includes a pre-process condition judgment unit and a pre-process condition execution unit. The pre-process condition judgment unit is used to obtain the second matching value based on a second preset condition. The pre-process condition execution unit is used to execute a pre-process action when the second matching value satisfies the pre-process condition. The pre-process action is used to change the first preset condition, so that the next process step is changed according to the first preset condition.

[0117] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, the process processing device 400 further includes a step-following module. The step-following module is used to generate a step-following action table based on the process logic of the flowchart; wherein the step-following action table records the current process step, the next process step, a third matching value, and the corresponding follow-up action. The third matching value represents the result of condition matching based on a third preset condition before entering the next process step after the current process step ends, and is used to determine whether the next process step needs to be changed based on the follow-up action.

[0118] The subsequent module includes a subsequent condition judgment unit and a subsequent condition execution unit. The subsequent condition judgment unit is used to obtain the third matching value based on a third preset condition. The subsequent condition execution unit is used to execute a subsequent action when the third matching value meets the subsequent condition. The subsequent action is used to modify the routing value and change the next process step; when the third matching value does not meet the subsequent condition, it enters the next process step where the original matching was successful.

[0119] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, the process processing device 400 further includes a change processing module, which is used to modify the process routing table, the process role table, and the personnel role table based on change logic when the flowchart is changed.
