[0061] The following is a further description of the system's functions:

[0062] The main functions of the system include:

[0063] 1. Data analysis;

[0064] Through the uploaded data that is referenceable and highly empirical, the data parameters of existing projects are analyzed and processed to find the construction parameters with high frequency between different projects, to build correlation relationships and provide a highly authentic reference for parameter management during the construction process.

[0065] 2. Data processing;

[0066] Based on the correlations generated in the above data analysis, we conduct a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the data in the construction process, from the macroscopic overall data pattern to the microscopic detailed data trend, and conduct all-round and multi-level mining. Through a scientific and rigorous screening process, we accurately select data parameters that are highly compatible with a single construction project from the massive data that has been analyzed, so that they can serve as a reliable reference and provide strong support for the smooth progress of the construction project.

[0067] 3. Real-time data entry and update interface;

[0068] Design a user-friendly interface through which construction personnel and management personnel can enter new data and update existing data in real time. The interface design is simple and intuitive, presents data in a table format, and provides quick editing and saving functions. At the same time, ensure the accuracy and consistency of data during the entry and update process through real-time data verification and prompt functions.

[0069] 4. Data display interface;

[0070] Develop visual data display components to present analysis results to users in the form of intuitive charts. Use common chart types such as bar charts, line charts, and pie charts to display different types of data, such as construction progress, equipment failure distribution, etc. At the same time, provide interactive data analysis functions, and users can deeply analyze data through operations such as filtering, sorting, and drilling.

[0071] 5. Data security measures;

[0072] For the platform, different operating permissions should be assigned according to different user roles such as administrators, data entry clerks, and data analysts. Administrators can manage platform system settings, user management, and comprehensive data management operations; data entry clerks can only insert and update data in specific data tables, and their operations will be recorded; data analysts mainly have the right to read and analyze data but cannot modify the original data.

[0073] Among them, data analysis, such as Figure 2 As shown, including:

[0074] Obtain uploaded data (project data parameters) that are referenceable and highly empirical from the data storage;

[0075] Check the integrity of the data, fill in the missing data parameters, and correct the abnormal data in the data;

[0076] Analyze the checked data, count the frequency of occurrence of each project data parameter, calculate the frequency of occurrence of different types of parameters between different projects, and mark the ones with high frequency as high confidence. Obtain multiple high-confidence construction parameters by analogy, and construct association rules (identify the association between the project data parameters in the data);

[0077] Evaluate and screen the generated association rules: check the rationality of the association rules and remove the rules that do not conform to the actual construction logic; sort the rules according to their importance (based on a comprehensive evaluation of confidence);

[0078] Output the evaluated and screened association rules;

[0079] Apply association rules to parameter management during the construction process as a reference with high authenticity: before construction, set the target range and warning value of the parameters according to the association rules; during construction, monitor the parameters in real time, and when the parameters are close to the warning value, determine the possible influencing factors and take preventive measures according to the association rules; when the parameters change abnormally, quickly locate the relevant parameters according to the association rules and make adjustments;

[0080] Finish;

[0081] Data processing, such as Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0082] Obtain association rules generated in data analysis;

[0083] Analyze the construction process data: a. Macro analysis: observe the data distribution in different construction stages (such as the proportion of various types of data in the foundation construction stage), and analyze the overall characteristics of data in different construction areas (such as the comparison of data trends on different floors); b. Micro analysis: track the slight fluctuations in the data of electromechanical construction equipment in a short period of time (such as the power change of a certain equipment per minute), and pay attention to the continuous changes in data in local construction processes (such as the temperature change trend in a certain welding process);

[0084] All-round and multi-level mining: mining by data type (such as mining the association between physical parameters and chemical parameters); mining by construction process (such as mining the association between data from material delivery to finished product output); mining by participating entities (such as data patterns corresponding to different construction teams);

[0085] Scientific and rigorous screening process: screening based on project scale (e.g., screening out data parameters with a wide impact range for large projects); screening based on construction difficulty (e.g., giving priority to data parameters related to high-difficulty construction links); screening based on resource allocation (e.g., screening out data closely related to equipment resources);

[0086] Accurately select data parameters suitable for a single construction project;

[0087] Apply data parameters as a reference to construction projects (e.g., to adjust construction plans, optimize resource allocation, etc.);

[0088] Real-time data entry and update interface, such as Figure 4 As shown, including:

[0089] Open the platform interface and determine the user's identity (construction worker / management personnel);

[0090] After confirming your identity, you will enter the table data display area, where existing data will be presented in table form, and you can perform data operations;

[0091] Choose to enter new data or update existing data, and perform the operation in the corresponding cell of the table (quick edit);

[0092] During data entry / update: trigger real-time data verification mechanism: verify whether the data format is correct (such as whether the number meets the required format), verify whether the data range is reasonable (such as whether the value is within the specified range); if the data does not meet the requirements, a prompt message will pop up (prompting the cause of the error), and return to the data operation area for modification; if the data meets the requirements, execute the save function;

[0093] The data is saved / updated successfully;

[0094] 4. Data display interface, including:

[0095] Get updated / analyzed / input data;

[0096] Select the visualization chart type according to the data type: if you want to compare data size (such as construction progress comparison at different stages), choose a bar chart; if you want to show the trend of data changes over time (such as the change of equipment operating parameters over time), choose a line chart; if you want to show the relationship between data proportions (such as the proportion of various equipment failures to total failures), choose a pie chart;

[0097] Build visual data display components: map data to corresponding charts (bar charts, line charts, pie charts, etc.); design chart styles (colors, labels, etc.);

[0098] Display visual charts to users;

[0099] Provide interactive data analysis functions: user-initiated operations (filtering, sorting, drilling, etc.); filtering: filtering and displaying data according to user-set conditions (such as a specific time period, a specific equipment type); sorting: arranging data in ascending or descending order (such as sorting equipment by the number of failures); drilling: drilling down from overall data to specific details (such as drilling from the overall construction progress to the progress details of a certain area);

[0100] Update visualization charts based on user actions;

[0101] 5. Data security measures, including:

[0102] The platform verifies the user's identity (determines whether it is an administrator or a common user);

[0103] If you are an administrator: you can manage platform system settings (such as adjusting system parameters, optimizing system architecture, etc.); perform user management (adding and deleting users, modifying user permissions, etc.); perform comprehensive data management operations (data backup, recovery, data structure modification, etc.);

[0104] If you are a common user: you can browse and view the platform data; you can adjust the display format (pictures, tables, text) of the read data, but you cannot modify the original data;

[0105] The present invention is committed to realizing electronic and automated management of data, has efficient data processing capabilities, and enables real-time input, updating and analysis of construction data.

[0106] In terms of data processing efficiency, real-time performance is outstanding. New data can be entered in the first place to avoid data aggregation delays and ensure that the data reflects the project status in a timely manner. Updates are efficient and data can be updated quickly when data changes to ensure data synchronization. Automated analysis saves time and energy for manual processing. From the perspective of management decision-making, electronicization and automation reduce manual errors, make data more accurate, provide a scientific basis for decision-making, and reduce decision-making risks. At the same time, the platform can quickly provide data and analysis results, allowing managers to make decisions quickly without waiting for data aggregation and collation, thereby improving project promotion efficiency.

[0107] The present invention covers aspects such as data analysis, data processing, real-time data entry and update interface, data display interface, and data security measures. By analyzing and processing data that is referenceable and highly empirical, an association relationship is constructed to provide a highly realistic reference for parameter management during the construction process. The construction data is comprehensively analyzed and mined using the association relationship, and after scientific screening, a reliable basis is provided for construction projects. The real-time data entry and update interface is concisely designed to facilitate operation by construction personnel and management personnel, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the data. The data display interface presents the analysis results in intuitive charts and provides interactive functions. In terms of data security, different operating permissions are assigned according to different user roles. Administrators can perform comprehensive management, data entry clerks can perform specific operations and record behaviors, and data analysts can read analysis data but cannot modify the original data.
