Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the application of multimedia news in the fields of integrated production and dissemination technology, and in particular to a business process management method for cross-tenant digital integrated production of multimedia news. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the public opinion environment, media landscape, and communication methods have undergone profound changes. Platform shifts, channel transformations, and user-centric events have occurred, with communication methods shifting from audience-centric to user-centric scenarios, and the internet becoming the biggest variable. At this juncture of change, the broadcasting industry urgently needs to explore new paths for media convergence. News and publicity, as the core business of the broadcasting industry, holds a pivotal position.
[0003] Based on the cloud platform construction of the past few years, most broadcasting units have acquired the capability for full-process cloud-based production. However, in actual use, traditional program production on various channels rarely starts from topic selection and planning, failing to link materials and finished products with the topic. This results in a lack of a closed loop in planning, production, broadcasting, and evaluation, leaving the business process in a blind box state. New media production mostly involves editors writing drafts locally, sending them to the responsible editor for review via WeChat, and then publishing them directly on the internet platform after approval. This lacks data archiving, process tracking, and other management methods. Furthermore, due to the channel system and mechanisms, news production on each channel is independent, leading to resource waste, duplication of work, and a lack of synergy. Production and dissemination data cannot feed back into business production, resulting in overly simplistic and uninnovative programs.
[0004] The existing multimedia news production and dissemination methods described above have the following technical problems in actual business scenarios:
[0005] (1) The production process is fragmented and cannot be automatically tracked: the topics of each channel are produced within their respective channel tenants, and the management department cannot coordinate and manage them. They can only follow up on the subsequent production status manually; for programs that are not produced in the cloud, production data cannot be obtained.
[0006] (2) “Each operates independently” and “each uses its own resources”: For the same topic, each channel tenant collects materials separately, resulting in duplicated content and increased labor costs; the audio and video materials corresponding to the topic are stored in their respective tenants, which are closed off from each other and cannot achieve resource sharing.
[0007] (3) Traditional management methods cannot guide production: In traditional production methods, production, management and evaluation are disconnected and cannot form a closed loop to achieve full-process control; lack of digital guidance capabilities such as dissemination power and viewership ratings.
[0008] (4) Channel linkage is broken and the presentation format is monotonous: the existing process cannot meet the needs of business linkage between channels and cannot present the business production situation across channels, departments and business scenarios. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of this invention is to address the current problems in news production and dissemination, such as the inability to share content and coordinate production across channels and tenants, fragmented production processes, lack of traceability, interrupted management, and the inability to form a closed-loop management system after dissemination. This invention provides a business process management method for cross-tenant, multimedia, and digitally integrated news production. It breaks down channel tenant barriers to achieve content sharing, collaborative production, and digital operation in news production. With a global architecture, it provides a digitally integrated production platform for channel tenants, effectively solving the limitations of "small-scale" production within a single channel. Through closed-loop guided management, this invention unifies and aggregates data from the production source to the final dissemination after publication, feeding back into production and clearly demonstrating a traceable business process in a digital form, thereby improving the overall effectiveness of news production management from top to bottom.
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0011] A business process management method for cross-tenant multimedia news digital integration production is proposed, in which all channel tenants interact with each other using a shared resource pool as the center, and the generated data records are uniformly aggregated; the specific steps of the business process management method are as follows:
[0012] S1: When a channel tenant logs into the cloud platform and creates a topic within the channel, the created topic is aggregated into the shared resource pool. It is then determined whether the topic created by the channel tenant is already selected by other channel tenants in the shared resource pool. If the topic is selected, the topic is not recreated, and the user is directly redirected to the shared resource pool. If the topic is not selected, the created topic, along with the channel information, is synchronously added to the shared resource pool, and the user is then redirected to the shared resource pool. The shared resource pool provides cross-tenant services to channel tenants, allowing any channel tenant to access topics from all channel tenants, including itself, through the shared resource pool.
[0013] S2: When it is detected that a channel tenant enters the shared resource pool and claims or assigns a topic in the shared resource pool, the corresponding topic and the attachment content of the topic in the shared resource pool are updated to the channel tenant's own resource pool, and the production task information of the topic is generated accordingly. At the same time, it is determined whether the task type of the topic belongs to the new media task. If so, a new media article is created in the channel tenant to enter the new media business production process. If not, a traditional article is created in the channel tenant to enter the traditional program business production process.
[0014] S3: Monitor the business production process corresponding to the current topic for each channel tenant. When it is detected that a channel tenant has performed a new material association and binding operation for the current topic within the channel, determine whether the current topic is selected by other channel tenants in the shared resource pool. If so, generate a material update task and notify other channel tenants that have selected the current topic to confirm whether to update the new material. At the same time, update the new material to the shared resource pool and associate it with the attachment content of the current topic. If not, directly update the new material to the shared resource pool and associate it with the attachment content of the current topic. Whenever the shared resource pool completes the material update, further update the task information of all channel tenants that have selected the current topic, and monitor in real time whether any channel tenants that have selected the current topic have performed the operation of adding the new material to the article. If so, update the new media article or traditional article task corresponding to the current topic in the corresponding channel tenant.
[0015] S4: Monitor the completed new media or traditional articles submitted for review by each channel tenant, and publish the articles to the target platform according to the review results and the preset publishing method;
[0016] S5: Monitor the articles published by each channel tenant. If a new finished product is published, automatically associate and bind the new finished product with the corresponding topic. Determine whether the corresponding topic has been selected by other channel tenants in the shared resource pool. If so, generate a finished product update task and notify other channel tenants that have selected the topic. Then, synchronize the new finished product to the shared resource pool and associate and bind it with the attachment content of the corresponding topic. Update the topic status and attachment content in the channel tenant that published the new finished product. If not, directly synchronize the new finished product to the shared resource pool and associate and bind it with the attachment content of the corresponding topic. Update the topic status and attachment content in the channel tenant that published the new finished product.
[0017] As a preferred option, all channel tenants use the multimedia data platform as a unified management platform, which includes multi-tenant centralized resource management services, business monitoring services, a unified message management center, and data analysis services.
[0018] The multi-tenant centralized resource management service is used to uniformly manage data resources, including topic selection, materials, and finished products.
[0019] The business monitoring service is used for unified management and control of business production processes and to collect process data.
[0020] The unified message management center acts as a business process driver, supporting message notifications to users and the transmission of process records to the business monitoring service; all operations in the business production process will trigger the unified message management center to send messages and notify users of changes in status.
[0021] All channel tenants' production data for the entire business process of selecting, producing, and releasing new media and traditional programs are aggregated into the multimedia data platform with the cooperation of multi-tenant centralized resource management service, business monitoring, and unified message management center. At the same time, the multimedia data platform also collects data after program dissemination and conducts business data analysis through the data analysis service to guide production through reverse digitalization.
[0022] As a preferred option, after logging into the cloud platform, channel tenants can create topics within the channel in four ways: self-creation, manually adding and publishing tasks, cross-tenant topic selection, and adding multimedia articles.
[0023] Preferably, channel tenants can update attachments to a topic at any time after it is created. Each time an attachment is updated, the multi-tenant centralized resource management service will be triggered to synchronize the topic attachments to the shared resource pool. The content of the attachment update includes, but is not limited to, materials and finished products. The content of the attachment includes images, audio, video, text, and graphic text. The update operation of materials in the attachment includes adding and deleting materials. A topic can be selected by other channel tenants at any time after it is created, and each selection operation will trigger a change in the topic status through the multi-tenant centralized resource management service.
[0024] Preferably, in S4, traditional articles for each channel tenant are directly broadcast after approval, while new media articles published to the Internet are divided into manual and automatic modes. Before publication, it is first determined whether the new media article is automatically published. If so, it is automatically published to the corresponding external Internet platform after approval. If not, the user manually triggers the article push. In manual mode, the user can choose whether to schedule the publication when manually pushing the article. If so, the article is triggered for publication according to the user's scheduled time. If not, it is directly published to the Internet platform when manually pushed by the user.
[0025] Preferably, the channel tenant can directly access the shared resource pool to select topics created by all channel tenants across tenants. If the selected topic already has attachments in the shared resource pool, the multi-tenant centralized resource management service will automatically trigger the update of the existing topic attachments to the resource pool of the channel tenant that selected the topic when the topic is selected. If the selected topic has attachment updates after selection, the multi-tenant centralized resource management service will trigger the unified message management center to push a message to the channel tenant, and the channel tenant will manually trigger the retrieval of the updated attachment content from the multi-tenant centralized resource management service according to the operation instructions of the channel tenant.
[0026] Preferably, the multi-tenant centralized resource management service includes functions such as synchronizing topic attachments, modifying topic status, and notifying users. The multi-tenant centralized resource management service is built on an XXL-JOB-based distributed task scheduling platform. Hard link building services, migration services, and interface protocol conversion services are registered to the registration center of this distributed scheduling platform. The topic attachments are synchronized to the shared resource pool using asynchronous scheduling. The metadata mapping method of the interface protocol conversion service is used to modify the cross-tenant topic metadata information, thereby triggering a change in topic status.
[0027] As a preferred method, hard link technology is used in the process of synchronizing topic attachments to the shared resource pool using asynchronous scheduling. When it is necessary to use hard link to build services to synchronize topic attachments across tenants or directly to the shared resource pool, hard link mode is used to perform double copying to avoid the reuse of storage space.
[0028] As a preferred approach, after new media articles and traditional articles are published or broadcast, dissemination data should be obtained from external platforms. At the same time, dissemination data and business production data uniformly collected in the business production process should be processed together and data analysis results should be formed in a preset format. This data should be used to digitally guide news production and serve as a basis for business performance evaluation.
[0029] As a preferred approach, during the digital-guided news production process, the backend needs to utilize the data analysis service in the multimedia data platform to analyze the collected business production data and dissemination data, store the production operator information data using a data warehouse model, use the business production data weighted with dissemination data as an evaluation standard, and simultaneously construct a dissemination ranking list to recommend production topics.
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0031] This invention breaks down the barriers of traditional channel isolation through multi-service collaborative support, enabling content sharing among cross-channel tenants and facilitating business collaboration across channels, departments, and business scenarios. It avoids the duplication of material collection and increased labor costs due to individual efforts. The digital news production management platform provides an automated, closed-loop control mechanism, achieving integrated closed-loop management capabilities from planning, production, creation, broadcasting, and evaluation. Other advantages of this invention will be described in conjunction with specific implementation methods. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the overall process of cross-tenant multimedia news digital integration production and dissemination in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0035] The present invention will be further described and illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The technical features of each embodiment of the present invention can be combined accordingly, provided that there is no mutual conflict.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a business process management method for cross-tenant multimedia news digital integration production is provided. This method is implemented by pre-constructing a unified news production management platform. The present invention constructs a multi-tenant centralized resource management service that aggregates channel topics and enables material binding and interaction. Each channel can log in to the cloud platform as a channel tenant. Topics from each channel can be centered on a shared topic pool, and data interaction regarding topics, materials, and finished products can be conducted through the multi-tenant centralized resource management service. Corresponding data records are then managed and incorporated into the news production management platform. The news production management platform, as a unified, closed-loop management platform, possesses functions such as cross-tenant content sharing, task management, process tracking, and dissemination data analysis and feedback. This method also establishes a unified message management center embedded in the news production management platform. During business operations, topic interaction, and material / finished product exchange, the platform triggers user message notifications and transmits the processed process data to the news production management platform.
[0037] like Figure 1 The above describes the overall business logic of the news production management platform in this embodiment, which includes three modules: production and publishing, dissemination data analysis, and a multimedia data platform. The specific implementation of each of these three modules will be described in detail below.
[0038] (1) Production and Release: This module is divided into a shared resource pool and production services provided to all channel tenants. The business logic is designed with cross-tenant resource coordination as the basis. The resource types in the shared resource pool include topics, materials, and finished products, and can therefore be further divided into a shared topic pool, a shared material pool, and a shared finished product pool. Each channel tenant also has its own resource pool to store its own topic, material, and finished product resources. Each channel tenant user creates a topic, uploads and binds materials in their own tenant service module. The system backend automatically aggregates these materials into the shared resource pool of the multi-tenant centralized resource management service platform for other channel tenants to select and use. The duty manager of each channel tenant can screen topics in the shared topic pool. After screening topics reported by cross-tenants, the manager can select them and add them to their own tenant's topic pool for reporters or editors of the channel tenant to claim or assign tasks. The topic tasks are divided into new media tasks and traditional production tasks. New Media Tasks: Users can utilize multimedia scripts, Blue Cloud Smart Editing, and other new media production tools to produce articles for various new media platforms such as WeChat and APP. After review and approval by the editor or duty manager, the new media articles are distributed through multiple channels including WeChat, Weibo, and APP. Television Tasks: Editors edit scripts using the television program script module, produce programs using traditional editing tools, and after multi-level review and approval, the compiled content is sent to television for broadcast in a file format.
[0039] (2) Dissemination Data Analysis: This module supports dissemination data analysis for both new media and traditional programs. The results of this analysis are then used to inform the production of all media content, creating a closed-loop production management system. New media data is primarily obtained through data callbacks or scraping, and can include statistics such as readership, play counts, likes, and shares. Dissemination data analysis is conducted based on the unique evaluation indices of each platform. Traditional television programs primarily obtain viewership data by connecting with the State Administration of Radio and Television's big data platform, CSM Media Research, KuYun, and Huanwang, and then conduct viewership analysis.
[0040] (3) Multimedia Data Platform: This module is used to accumulate basic data for the entire process of digital integration, production, and dissemination of multimedia news. Data is stored and managed in data blocks for easy data combination later. This multimedia data platform serves as a unified management platform for all channel tenants, including multi-tenant centralized resource management services, business monitoring services, a unified message management center, and data analysis services. The multi-tenant centralized resource management service primarily focuses on unified control of data resources such as topic selection, materials, and finished products. The business monitoring service focuses on unified control of business production processes and collects process data. The unified message management center is the business process driver, supporting message notifications to users and transmitting process records to the business monitoring service. The selection, assignment, or claiming of topics, as well as the creation, submission, and publication status feedback of multimedia articles and manuscripts, all trigger the unified message management center to send messages and notify users of status changes. The data analysis service is the backbone of the data platform, used to analyze basic process data. It can be provided externally through interfaces for later production assessment and evaluation.
[0041] Based on this multimedia data platform, all channel tenants in the production and distribution module collect production data for the entire business process of selecting topics, producing, and distributing new media and traditional programs. This data is then aggregated into the multimedia data platform with the cooperation of multi-tenant centralized resource management service, business monitoring, and unified message management center. At the same time, the multimedia data platform also collects data after program dissemination through the dissemination data analysis module and conducts business data analysis through the data analysis service to guide production through reverse digitalization.
[0042] This invention designs a multi-tenant centralized resource management service, which can aggregate topic selection data, materials, and finished product resources from various channels. It utilizes a backend engine to uniformly manage cross-tenant topic selection logic, enabling cross-tenant data resource sharing and interaction. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the specific resource sharing and data interaction logic is as follows: 1) Editors submit topic selections within their own channel tenant. The corresponding topic triggers the "synchronize to shared topic pool" business process based on the combination of status parameters; 2) Topics in the shared topic pool can be provided to editors for selection. The selection operation is used to solve the problem of cross-tenant topic resource interaction; 3) Editors assign production tasks and bind materials to topics. The bound materials can be automatically updated and synchronized to the shared material pool according to the topic synchronization status; 4) The topic enters the production step and produces a finished product. After the review is completed, the finished product is synchronized to the shared resource pool; 5) If a topic is selected by other channel tenants, the synchronization update operation of the topic, materials, and finished product can be triggered manually through message notification to realize platform data interaction.
[0043] In this embodiment, based on the aforementioned apparatus, the main process of the cross-tenant multimedia news digital integration production and dissemination method is that each channel collaborates across tenants to produce and disseminate multimedia content, with the dissemination power analysis index feeding back into program production. The specific steps of the cross-tenant multimedia news digital integration production business process management method of the present invention are described in detail below. As mentioned earlier, in the implementation of this business process management method, all channel tenants interact with each other using a shared resource pool as the center, exchanging data on topics, materials, and finished products, and uniformly aggregating the generated data records. The specific implementation steps of the present invention are described in detail below. However, it should be noted that in the following steps, where there is no explicit order, the order of steps can be appropriately adjusted if it conforms to the implementation logic.
[0044] S1: When a channel tenant logs into the cloud platform and creates a topic within the channel, the created topic is aggregated into the shared resource pool. It is then determined whether the topic created by the channel tenant is already selected by other channel tenants in the shared resource pool. If the topic is selected, the topic is not recreated, and the user is directly redirected to the shared resource pool. If the topic is not selected, the created topic, along with the channel information, is synchronously added to the shared resource pool to form a new topic selected by the creator, and then the user is redirected to the shared resource pool. The shared resource pool provides cross-tenant services to channel tenants, allowing any channel tenant to access topics from all channel tenants, including itself, through the shared resource pool.
[0045] It should be noted that after logging into the cloud platform, channel tenants can create topics within their channels in various ways, which can be designed based on business convenience. For example, one implementation method can be set up as self-creation, manually adding and publishing tasks, cross-tenant topic selection, and adding multimedia articles. Different topic creation methods can be adopted for different use cases, and channel users can choose the most convenient reporting method according to their actual business operation process. Generally, different user roles can also be set within channel tenants, such as duty manager, reporter, editor, etc. Topics can be created by the channel's duty manager.
[0046] S2: When a channel tenant enters the shared resource pool and claims or assigns a topic in the shared resource pool, the corresponding topic and the attached content of the topic in the shared resource pool are updated to the channel tenant's own resource pool. The production task information of the topic is generated accordingly. At the same time, it is determined whether the task type of the topic belongs to the new media task. If so, a new media article is created in the channel tenant to enter the new media business production process. If not, a traditional article is created in the channel tenant to enter the traditional program business production process.
[0047] It should be noted that the specific process formats for new media business production and traditional program business production can be designed according to the actual relevant business framework. Generally speaking, when producing new media articles and traditional articles, users can utilize the cloud non-linear editing resources, cloud computing resources, and cloud storage resources available on the platform to complete news production. Furthermore, the specific formats of traditional and new media articles can be designed according to the actual relevant business, which is not the focus of this invention and is not a limitation. Generally speaking, the users who claim or assign topics can be reporters or editors. Claiming can be initiated by reporters or editors, while assignment can be initiated by the duty manager.
[0048] S3: Monitor the business production process corresponding to the current topic for each channel tenant. When it is detected that a channel tenant has performed a new material association and binding operation for the current topic within the channel, determine whether the current topic is selected by other channel tenants in the shared resource pool. If so, generate a material update task and notify other channel tenants that have selected the current topic to confirm whether to update the new material. At the same time, trigger the multi-tenant centralized resource management service to synchronize the new material to the shared resource pool and associate it with the attachment content of the current topic. If not, directly trigger the multi-tenant centralized resource management service to synchronize the new material to the shared resource pool and associate it with the attachment content of the current topic. In addition, whenever the shared resource pool completes the material update, further trigger the business monitoring service to update the task information of all channel tenants that have selected the current topic, and monitor in real time whether any channel tenants that have selected the current topic have performed the operation of adding new material to the article. If so, update the new media article or traditional article task corresponding to the current topic in the corresponding channel tenant.
[0049] It's important to note that in this step, the process of notifying other channel tenants who have selected the current topic to confirm whether to update with new materials can be achieved through the unified message management center. All other channel tenants selecting the current topic will receive this message through the unified message management center. The message can be delivered to relevant users of the channel tenant via instant messaging tools such as WeChat or other communication methods. However, each channel tenant needs to manually confirm whether to synchronize new materials from the shared resource pool. Only when the business monitoring service detects that a channel tenant has confirmed the need for new materials will the new materials in the shared resource pool be updated for that channel tenant. Similarly, after the new materials are updated to the channel tenant's own resource pool, the business monitoring service will continue to monitor whether users choose to add the materials to new media articles or traditional articles. Only if reporters, editors, or other users choose to add them will the new materials be actually added to the article.
[0050] S4: Monitor the completed new media or traditional articles submitted for review by each channel tenant, and publish the articles to the target platform according to the review results and the preset publishing method.
[0051] In this invention, the specific review process and publication method for completed new media articles or traditional articles can be adjusted according to actual circumstances. As a preferred approach, traditional articles for each channel tenant are directly broadcast after approval, while new media articles published to the internet are divided into manual and automatic modes. Before publication, it is first determined whether the new media article is for automatic publication. If so, it is automatically published to the corresponding external internet platform after approval. If not, the user manually triggers the article push. In manual mode, the user can choose whether to schedule publication when manually pushing the article. If so, the article is triggered for publication according to the user's scheduled time. If not, it is directly published to the internet platform when manually pushed by the user.
[0052] S5: Monitor the articles published by each channel tenant. If a new finished product is published, automatically associate and bind the new finished product with the corresponding topic. Determine whether the corresponding topic has been selected by other channel tenants in the shared resource pool. If so, generate a finished product update task and notify other channel tenants that have selected the topic. Then, trigger the multi-tenant centralized resource management service to synchronize the new finished product to the shared resource pool and associate and bind it with the attachment content of the corresponding topic. Then, update the topic status and attachment content in the channel tenant that published the new finished product. If not, directly trigger the multi-tenant centralized resource management service to synchronize the new finished product to the shared resource pool and associate and bind it with the attachment content of the corresponding topic. Then, update the topic status and attachment content in the channel tenant that published the new finished product.
[0053] Based on steps S1 to S5 above, the multi-tenant centralized resource management service can be used to enable each channel's topic selection to revolve around a shared topic pool. Data exchange regarding topic selection, materials, and finished products can be conducted through the multi-tenant centralized resource management service, and the corresponding data records can be uniformly managed by the news production management platform. The implementation of this entire process requires the coordinated operation of the multi-tenant centralized resource management service, business monitoring service, and unified message management center within the multimedia data platform.
[0054] Furthermore, in order to improve the level of news production management and realize the integrated closed-loop management capability from planning, production, production, broadcasting and evaluation, the present invention can further continue to execute step S6 after steps S1 to S5.
[0055] S6: After new media articles and traditional articles are published or broadcast, dissemination data must be obtained from external platforms. At the same time, dissemination data and business production data uniformly collected in the business production process must be processed together and data analysis results must be formed in a preset format. This data will be used to digitally guide news production and serve as the basis for business performance evaluation.
[0056] In this invention, the specific data processing methods and the resulting data analysis results can be designed and adjusted according to actual evaluation requirements and frameworks. As a preferred implementation, the aforementioned digitally guided news production process requires the backend to utilize the data analysis service in the multimedia data platform to analyze and collect business production data and dissemination data. A data warehouse model is used to store information data of production operators, and business production data weighted with dissemination data is used as an evaluation standard. Simultaneously, a dissemination ranking list is constructed to recommend production topics.
[0057] It should be noted that in this invention, channel tenants can update attachments to a topic at any time after creating it. Whenever an attachment is updated, the multi-tenant centralized resource management service will be triggered to synchronize the topic attachments to the shared resource pool. The content of the attachment update includes, but is not limited to, materials and finished products. The form of attachment content includes images, audio, video, text, and graphic text. The update operation of materials in the attachment includes adding materials and deleting materials.
[0058] In addition, topics can be selected by other channel tenants at any time after they are created, and each selection operation will trigger a change in the topic status through the multi-tenant centralized resource management service.
[0059] In addition, in step S1 above, since the duty manager can directly create topics for this channel by selecting topics across tenants, channel tenants can directly access the shared resource pool to select topics created by all channel tenants across tenants. If the selected topic already has attachments in the shared resource pool, the multi-tenant centralized resource management service will automatically trigger the update of the existing topic attachments to the resource pool of the channel tenant that selected the topic when the topic is selected. If the selected topic has attachment updates after selection, the multi-tenant centralized resource management service will trigger the unified message management center to push a message to the channel tenant, and the channel tenant will manually trigger the retrieval of the updated attachment content from the multi-tenant centralized resource management service according to the operation instructions of the channel tenant.
[0060] It's also important to note that due to differences in the production processes of new media content and traditional content, new media content demands higher real-time performance and inter-channel interactivity. Therefore, when executing new media tasks, the collaborative updating of new materials across channels can follow the method described in S3 above. Conversely, when executing traditional content production tasks, the traditional program production process can be directly applied, with each channel independently acquiring and processing materials. Material updates are not synchronized to the shared resource pool; the final product is updated to the shared resource pool for collaborative sharing among channel tenants. Of course, traditional content can also participate in the sharing and collaborative updating process in the shared resource pool along with new media content, depending on actual needs. Each channel tenant can specify this when creating a traditional task to allow for adjustments to the relevant processes as needed.
[0061] To better understand the specific implementation process of this invention, an implementation example of the business process management method for cross-tenant multimedia news digital integration production described in S1 to S6 will be given below. In this implementation example, the implementation process of the method is as follows:
[0062] (1) Channel tenants can create topics by logging into the cloud platform. There are four ways to create topics: self-creation, manual addition of publishing tasks, cross-tenant topic selection, and addition of multimedia articles. The created topics can be aggregated into the news production management platform. Channel tenants can choose the most convenient reporting method according to their actual business operation process. The specific operation methods are as follows: a) Self-creation: Enter the topic planning service module, fill in the topic title, select the column, and whether to automatically report, etc., to create a topic. b) Cross-tenant topic selection: Channel tenants enter the news production management platform service module, enter the shared topic pool to find topics reported by other tenants. When a channel tenant selects a topic from another tenant to produce and publish within its own tenant, the selected topic will automatically create the same topic in the topic planning module of its own tenant. This device uses the background engine to uniformly manage the cross-tenant topic selection logic, realizing cross-tenant sharing and interaction of topic resources. c) Add multimedia articles: Channel tenants can directly create articles in the multimedia article module, and generate a topic with the same title, column, and default automatic reporting status in the topic planning module. This type of operation primarily targets the business scenario of producing breaking news. It utilizes the method of adding multimedia articles in advance to supplement topic resources and business processes, thereby achieving digital business process management in this scenario. d) Manually adding publishing tasks: Enter the news production management platform, add a publishing task, and directly fill in information such as the completed topic title, publishing channel, and finished content. After submission, it will be automatically created in the tenant's topic planning module, and the topic will be automatically aggregated in the shared topic pool of the news production management platform. This type of operation is mainly for business scenarios where, after articles are produced through external circulation, it is necessary to collect dissemination and production data to this device.
[0063] (2) Based on the topic created in step (1), determine whether the topic status is "selected". If so, the system will not create the topic again and will directly jump to the shared topic pool to obtain all business topics.
[0064] (3) According to step (2), if the topic status is not selected, the topic carries channel information and is added to the shared topic pool. At the same time, jump to the shared topic pool to obtain all business topics.
[0065] (4) When a channel tenant claims or assigns a topic in the news production management platform, corresponding task information is generated. The task type of the topic in the assignment or claim operation is used to determine whether it is a new media task. If yes, the process jumps to step (5); otherwise, the process jumps to step (9).
[0066] (5) After determining that it is a new media task based on step (4), a new media task is generated in the multimedia manuscript module.
[0067] (6) During business operations, channel tenants can associate and bind topic attachments as needed. Channel tenants enter the topic planning module and bind materials to the topic. The system determines whether the topic is selected. If so, a material update task is generated in the news production management platform and a message is sent to the channel tenants who selected the topic. This triggers the multi-tenant centralized resource management service to initiate a synchronous update of the materials to the shared topic pool to update the attachment content of the topic. After the shared topic pool is updated, the business monitoring task for updating the multimedia manuscript corresponding to the topic is triggered. If the topic is not selected, the multi-tenant centralized resource management service is directly triggered to initiate a synchronous update of the materials to the shared topic pool to update the attachment content of the topic. After the shared topic pool is updated, the business monitoring task for updating the multimedia manuscript corresponding to the topic is triggered.
[0068] (7) Based on step (5), the channel tenant creates a new media article in the multimedia article. This device supports real-time updates of the corresponding attachments in the article. This function is based on step (6), where the channel tenant obtains the materials bound to the topic in the corresponding multimedia article new media task and uses them for article production. The completed new media article is submitted to the review process.
[0069] (8) After step (7) is completed, before the approved manuscript is published, it is first determined whether the manuscript is automatically published. If so, it will be automatically published to the corresponding external Internet platform after approval. Otherwise, the user manually triggers the manuscript push. In the case of manual push, the user can choose whether to schedule the publication. If so, the manuscript will be triggered for publication according to the user's scheduled time. If not, it will be directly published to the Internet platform when the user manually pushes it.
[0070] (9) Based on step (4), after determining that it is a traditional task, enter the traditional production module and generate a traditional production task.
[0071] (10) Based on the task generated in step (9), traditional manuscripts can be produced in the traditional manuscript service module.
[0072] (11) Based on the traditional manuscript generated in step (9), the channel tenant can enter the non-linear editing system to produce the finished product, and after review, it will be sent to the program broadcasting system in a file format.
[0073] (12) When the program is disseminated in step (8) or (11), the system background triggers the news production management platform to generate a task record, and at the same time updates the topic status and manuscript content, and triggers the business monitoring to complete the task status update.
[0074] (13) Based on step (12), the published finished product is automatically bound to the corresponding topic and the attachment information of the finished product is improved.
[0075] (14) Based on step (13), complete the finished product attachment update scenario. The finished product attachment update business process is the same as step (6). Determine whether the topic is selected. If so, generate a material update task in the news production management platform and notify the channel tenant that selected the topic. Trigger the resource management service to initiate a finished product synchronization update to the shared topic pool to update the attachment content of the topic. If the topic is not selected, directly trigger the resource management service to initiate a finished product synchronization update to the shared topic pool to update the attachment content of the topic.
[0076] (15) Based on the program delivery in steps (8) and (11), the business system automatically triggers the background multimedia data platform service to integrate and aggregate data from the entire business process of topic selection, production, and release, while also collecting data after program dissemination. This device uses the multimedia data platform service to collect data generated at each stage of the production process, and after data processing, reverse digitalization guides production.
[0077] This invention provides cross-tenant content sharing, task management, process tracking, and dissemination data analysis feedback functions by employing the collaborative support of multiple service devices such as multi-tenant centralized resource management service, unified message management center, and news production management platform. This achieves closed-loop unified management of the entire process and improves the overall effectiveness of news production management from top to bottom.
[0078] Furthermore, the multi-tenant centralized resource management service of this invention includes functions such as synchronizing topic attachments, modifying topic status, and notifying users. To facilitate the implementation of these functions, this invention can further build a distributed task scheduling platform based on XXL-JOB at the bottom layer of the multi-tenant centralized resource management service, register the hard link building service, migration service, and interface protocol conversion service to the registration center of this distributed scheduling platform, use asynchronous scheduling to synchronize topic attachments to the shared resource pool, and use the metadata mapping method of the interface protocol conversion service to modify cross-tenant topic metadata information, thereby triggering a change in topic status.
[0079] As a preferred approach, the asynchronous scheduling method is used to synchronize topic attachments to the shared resource pool, and hard link technology is used for storage. When it is necessary to use hard link to build services to synchronize topic attachments across tenants or directly to the shared resource pool, the hard link mode is used to perform double copying to avoid the storage space being reused.

The specific steps of the business process management method are as follows: S1: When a channel tenant logs into the cloud platform and creates a topic within the channel, the created topic is aggregated into the shared resource pool. It is then determined whether the topic created by the channel tenant is already selected by other channel tenants in the shared resource pool. If the topic is selected, the topic is not recreated, and the user is directly redirected to the shared resource pool. If the topic is not selected, the created topic, along with the channel information, is synchronously added to the shared resource pool, and the user is then redirected to the shared resource pool. The shared resource pool provides cross-tenant services to channel tenants, allowing any channel tenant to access topics from all channel tenants, including itself, through the shared resource pool. S2: When it is detected that a channel tenant enters the shared resource pool and claims or assigns a topic in the shared resource pool, the corresponding topic and the attachment content of the topic in the shared resource pool are updated to the channel tenant's own resource pool, and the production task information of the topic is generated accordingly. At the same time, it is determined whether the task type of the topic belongs to the new media task. If so, a new media article is created in the channel tenant to enter the new media business production process. If not, a traditional article is created in the channel tenant to enter the traditional program business production process. S3: Monitor the business production process corresponding to the current topic for each channel tenant. When it is detected that a channel tenant has performed a new material association and binding operation for the current topic within the channel, determine whether the current topic is selected by other channel tenants in the shared resource pool. If so, generate a material update task and notify other channel tenants that have selected the current topic to confirm whether to update the new material. At the same time, update the new material to the shared resource pool and associate it with the attachment content of the current topic. If not, directly update the new material to the shared resource pool and associate it with the attachment content of the current topic.
