Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of process management technology, and in particular to a multi-stage process management method and apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] The storage of business order data is a crucial technical aspect affecting process progression, viewing, and retrieval, especially in the real estate sector where interactive processes involve multiple data processing steps. Each step is linked to contracts and attachments. The standardization of the order data structure determines the reliability of the data model, while the ease of data querying determines the complexity of business functionality implementation. A standardized and user-friendly data structure model allows for rapid development of business functions, facilitating simple and efficient completion of upper-level feature development. It also greatly aids in tracing and troubleshooting online issues. In existing technologies, business orders are mostly driven by state changes, resulting in relatively simple data structures where only one order record is created per process, failing to address the issue of state tracing.

[0085] Exemplary methods

[0086] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a multi-stage process management method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. This embodiment can be applied to electronic devices, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0087] Step 102: Based on the current business scenario, determine the target process for the corresponding process category.

[0088] Each process category includes multiple steps, and the target process includes some or all of the multiple steps included in its respective process category.

[0089] In this embodiment, the current business scenario can be any executable business scenario in the prior art, such as a real estate transaction scenario. Different business scenarios correspond to different process categories, and the number and types of steps included in different process categories may vary. For example, one process category includes 3 steps, while another process category includes 5 steps. In one example, when the current business scenario is a real estate transaction scenario, the corresponding process category includes steps such as subscription, purchase, and signing. Furthermore, the specific target process may include some or all of the steps in the process category to which it belongs. For example, the process category corresponding to the current business scenario includes 5 steps, while the corresponding target process may only include 4 steps, of which 1 step can be omitted because there is no data (e.g., no data is available because no operation was performed in the current business scenario).

[0090] Step 104: Based on the execution results of the multiple steps included in the target process, determine the documents corresponding to each step in the multiple steps, and obtain multiple documents corresponding to the target process.

[0091] Each document includes at least an identifier number corresponding to the current stage and a preceding identifier number. The identifier number corresponds to the current stage, and the preceding identifier number corresponds to the previous adjacent stage. Optionally, each document may also include a process identifier number representing the target process corresponding to the document. Based on the process identifier number, the document can be distinguished from documents corresponding to other processes. For example, if a large number of documents are stored in the database, all documents corresponding to a process can be extracted based on the process identifier number.

[0092] In one embodiment, the execution result can be a numerical value or other identifier of the action result, such as a status value. In this embodiment, corresponding documents are created for each step in the target process, realizing separate storage of information corresponding to each step, which is more conducive to subsequent operations.

[0093] Step 106: Based on the identifier and preceding identifier included in each document, determine the initial and / or final stages of the target process.

[0094] Optionally, the identifier of the previous document can be determined by the preceding identifier in each document. Based on the correspondence between the identifier and the preceding identifier, the previous document of a document can be quickly determined. By iteratively searching, the initial and / or ending stages of the target process can be determined, thus achieving traceability of the target process.

[0095] This disclosure provides a multi-stage process management method based on the above embodiments. Based on the current business scenario, a target process of a corresponding process category is determined. Each process category includes multiple stages, and the target process includes some or all of the multiple stages included in its process category. Based on the execution results of the multiple stages included in the target process, a document corresponding to each stage is determined, resulting in multiple documents corresponding to the target process. Each document includes an identifier and a preceding identifier for the stage. Based on the identifier and the preceding identifier included in each document, the initial stage and / or the ending stage of the target process are determined. This embodiment achieves rapid and accurate traceability of the target process by establishing corresponding documents for each stage in the process and associating multiple documents through identifiers and preceding identifiers, thus solving the problem of inability to trace processes in the prior art.

[0096] like Figure 2 As shown above, in the above Figure 1 Based on the illustrated embodiment, step 104 may include the following steps:

[0097] Step 1041: Determine the first identifier number corresponding to the first stage among multiple stages.

[0098] In this embodiment, the first step can be any step among multiple steps. The first identifier corresponding to the first step is to distinguish the first step from other steps among multiple steps. The first identifier only needs to uniquely identify the first step and can be confirmed using any encoding rule or numbering method. This embodiment does not limit the specific method of determining the first identifier. For example, it can be obtained by using a numerical number as the first identifier, or by encoding based on the data content corresponding to the first step.

[0099] Step 1042: Based on the order of the first step among the multiple steps included in the process category corresponding to the target process, determine the first pre-identifier number corresponding to the first step.

[0100] The process category includes multiple steps with a preset sequence.

[0101] The number of steps in the current target process and which specific steps are unknown are determined when the first step is executed. Since the target process corresponds to a process category, and the multiple steps in each process category have a known preset order, it is known what the previous step in the process category is. The identifier of the previous step is obtained as the prefix identifier of the first step, thus associating the first step with the previous step. At this point, there is a situation where the previous step in the process category is an unexecuted step in the target process. In this case, the search continues forward according to the preset order until the previous step that has been executed in the target process is found.

[0102] Step 1043: Based on the first identifier and the first pre-identifier, determine the first document corresponding to the first stage.

[0103] In this embodiment, the first identifier and the first preceding identifier are stored in the first document corresponding to the first step, which can accurately determine the previous step in the target process. After all the corresponding documents for all steps in the target process have been determined, fast and accurate traceability can be achieved.

[0104] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, step 1041 may include:

[0105] Based on the execution result of the first stage, determine the first state data corresponding to the first stage;

[0106] Generate the first identifier number corresponding to the first stage based on the first state data;

[0107] Step 1043 may include: determining the first document corresponding to the first stage based on the first identifier, the first pre-identifier, and the first status data.

[0108] In this embodiment, the first document also includes first status data; the first identifier determined based on the first status data corresponding to the first step can uniquely identify the first step. The first identifier determined based on the first status data can be determined by any encoding method, such as MD5 code, etc.; thus, the first identifier in the first document can be obtained more quickly.

[0109] like Figure 3 As shown above, in the above Figure 2 Based on the illustrated embodiment, step 1042 may include the following steps:

[0110] Step 301: Obtain the n second stages that are ranked before the first stage among the multiple stages included in the process category.

[0111] Where n is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

[0112] Step 302: Determine the target second stage based on n second stages.

[0113] The second stage of the objective corresponds to the second document, and each second document includes the corresponding second identifier, second pre-identifier, and second status data.

[0114] Step 303: Use the second identifier number included in the second document corresponding to the second stage of the target as the first pre-identifier number corresponding to the first stage.

[0115] In this embodiment, all second steps preceding the first step are first determined based on the order of multiple steps in the process category. At this time, there is a special case, namely, when n is 0. In this case, it means that there is no previous step before the first step. In this case, the first pre-identification number of the first step can be set to empty or set to 0. At this time, there is no target second step. The target second step is one of the n second steps (for example, the second step closest to the first step). The corresponding second document has the same structure as the first document, but the specific stored information content is different. The second identification number in the second document is used as the first pre-identification number of the first step, so as to establish a document association between the first step and the target second step.

[0116] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, step 302 may include:

[0117] From n second-stage processes, determine m second-stage processes that have execution results; where m is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

[0118] The target second stage is selected from among m second stages that is closest to the first stage in a preset order.

[0119] In this embodiment, since there may be second steps among the n second steps that do not belong to the target process, the n second steps are filtered based on the execution results to obtain m second steps with execution results. The second step among the m second steps that is closest to the first step in the order is taken as the target second step. By filtering, the second step without execution results is avoided as the target step, thus speeding up the determination of the target second step.

[0120] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, after performing step 1043, the method may further include:

[0121] Based on the first status data in the first document, obtain extended data corresponding to at least one extended operation related to the execution result of the first step;

[0122] At least one first extended document is identified based on at least one extended data and a first identifier.

[0123] In this embodiment, the extended business data is only associated with the business document identifier of the latest current state. Therefore, when the first document is generated in the first stage, the extended data is associated with the first identifier to determine it as the first extended document corresponding to the first document. For example, in the subscription stage, online payment and contract signing are performed, and the payment order business ID and contract ID are only associated with the subscription order master data ID. When the target process flows to other stages, the process identifier corresponding to the target process is used to determine all documents included in the target process. In this embodiment, the extended documents are associated with different stages through the first identifier, ensuring that even if the same extended data is used, it can be accurately distinguished which stage the extended data corresponds to based on its associated stage, thus achieving data isolation of extended data in different stages.

[0124] like Figure 4 As shown above, in the above Figure 1 Based on the illustrated embodiment, step 106, which determines the initial stage of the target process, may include:

[0125] Step 1061: Determine the previous document of the current document based on the previous identifier in the current document among multiple documents.

[0126] Step 1062: Determine whether the preceding identifier in the previous document is empty. If it is, proceed to step 1063; otherwise, use the previous document as the current document and proceed to step 1061.

[0127] Step 1063: Use the process corresponding to the previous document as the initial process.

[0128] In this embodiment, for any document corresponding to any step in any process, the identifier of the previous document can be determined based on the preceding identifier included in the document, until the upstream tracing reaches a document whose preceding identifier is empty (an empty preceding identifier indicates that there are no other documents before this document), which is the starting document of the process (corresponding to the starting step), thus realizing the upstream tracing of the process; tracing through the preceding identifier can improve the tracing speed and accuracy, and can quickly identify which steps in the current process relative to the corresponding process category have not been executed.

[0129] like Figure 5 As shown above, in the above Figure 1 Based on the illustrated embodiment, step 106, which determines the final stage of the target process, may include:

[0130] Step 1064: Based on the identifier in the current document among multiple documents, determine the next document that uses the identifier as the preceding identifier.

[0131] Step 1065: Determine whether the identifier included in the next document is the previous identifier of other documents. If so, use the next document as the current document and proceed to step 1064; otherwise, proceed to step 1066.

[0132] Step 1066: The step corresponding to the next document is taken as the closing step.

[0133] In this embodiment, for any document corresponding to any step in any process, the preceding identifier of the next document can be determined based on the identifier included in the document, until the identifier of a document is not the preceding identifier of any document, which is the end document of the process (corresponding to the end step), thus realizing the downward tracing of the process; tracing through identifier and preceding identifier can improve the tracing speed and accuracy, and can quickly identify which steps in the current process have not been executed relative to the corresponding process category.

[0134] The embodiments of steps 1061-1063 and steps 1064-1066 above can be executed according to actual needs, or both can be executed; when both are executed, they can be executed simultaneously or sequentially, and when executed sequentially, they can be executed first. Figure 4 The illustrated embodiment is then executed. Figure 5 The illustrated embodiment; or execute first. Figure 5 The illustrated embodiment is then executed. Figure 4 The execution order of the examples shown does not affect the results obtained in this example.

[0135] In some optional embodiments, the method provided in this embodiment may further include:

[0136] Based on the process identifier, identify the multiple documents corresponding to the target process from multiple documents stored in the database.

[0137] The database stores multiple documents that correspond to at least one process; the documents also include the process identifier number corresponding to the target process.

[0138] In this embodiment, when data analysis of the target process is required, categorized retrieval based on the process identifier corresponding to the target process allows for quick and convenient acquisition of data summary values ​​for each state. Examples include data indicators such as total subscription amount, number of subscription orders, and total contract value in real estate transactions. This embodiment uses a multi-order storage mode to isolate orders corresponding to different stages within the process, ensuring smooth workflow even when some stages are missing. It also makes data retrieval for each stage more convenient.

[0139] Any of the multi-stage process management methods provided in this disclosure can be executed by any suitable device with data processing capabilities, including but not limited to: terminal devices and servers. Alternatively, any of the multi-stage process management methods provided in this disclosure can be executed by a processor, such as by a processor executing any of the multi-stage process management methods mentioned in this disclosure by calling corresponding instructions stored in memory. Further details will not be elaborated below.
