[0038] In addition, in the following description, specific details are provided to facilitate a thorough understanding of the examples. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the described aspects can be practiced without these specific details.
[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, a model building method is proposed. The model building method includes:
[0040] Setting the model to have two sides, one side being a static graph and the other side being a time-series graph; multiple static nodes are set in the static graph, and static nodes and spatial connection lines capable of connecting at least two static nodes are set in the static graph;
[0041] The timing diagram is automatically mapped based on the static diagram; after mapping, the static nodes generate corresponding timing nodes in the timing diagram, and the spatial connections generate corresponding timing connections connecting the timing nodes in the timing diagram.
[0042] In this embodiment, static nodes are set in the static diagram and distributed in the background diagram. The static nodes have spatial attributes, and each static node summarizes all matters at this spatial position (as Figure 1 shown). The static nodes are connected based on spatial connections; since the static nodes in the static diagram in the prior art do not have time attributes, in this embodiment, based on the mapping relationship, each icon in the static diagram is mapped one by one into the timing diagram, so that the icons at their respective spatial positions are converted into timing nodes and set in the timing diagram, and the timing nodes endow the matters between the spatial positions with event attributes.
[0043] In some embodiments, the mapping relationship is established in the following manner: the spatial list attribute is assigned to the static nodes by means of a linked list or an array, and the positions of the static nodes are recorded, and sequential group assignment is performed according to the positions of the static nodes; therefore, in the timing diagram, each timing node automatically generates the initial sequence and connection relationship based on the sequential group assignment, and each static node can map out a timing node one by one in the timing diagram. At the same time, the spatial connections between the static nodes will be mapped into the timing diagram to generate timing connections. At this time, the static diagram and the timing diagram are presented as two sides of the same coin and are automatically mapped, ensuring that signals are not missing or omitted during the software development process, being able to ensure that the corresponding static nodes and timing nodes describe the same event, ensuring quality consistency at the same time, and the timing diagram is automatically generated.
[0044] In this embodiment, in the static diagram of the software architecture, the static nodes are used to describe the components in the system that do not change with time or do not move dynamically. The static diagram mainly focuses on the static structure of the system, especially the internal structure of the existing things and their relationships with each other. Specifically for the static nodes, they represent the following aspects:
[0045] In a distributed system or network architecture, the static nodes refer to physical devices such as servers, routers, switches, etc. These devices are fixed in position during the operation of the system and do not move.
[0046] Software systems: In the software architecture diagram, the static nodes also represent different software systems or modules. These systems or modules are responsible for processing specific business logics or functions and maintain their structures and functions unchanged during the operation of the system.
[0047] Static data structures: In some cases, the static nodes also represent the static data structures in the system, such as database tables, file systems, etc. These data structures store the data required by the system and remain unchanged during the operation of the system.
[0048] In UML (Unified Modeling Language), static diagrams mainly include class diagrams, object diagrams, and package diagrams. Among them, class diagrams are used to define classes in the system, including describing the internal structure of classes and the relationships between classes; object diagrams show instances of classes and the relationships between these instances; package diagrams are used to organize class diagrams and object diagrams to show the overall structure of the system.
[0049] The static nodes in the static diagram of this embodiment usually represent components such as physical devices, software systems, or static data structures that do not change over time or do not move dynamically. These nodes maintain their structure and function unchanged during the operation of the system and are the cornerstone for the stable operation of the system model.
[0050] In the static diagram, connection relationships representing signal transmission are set between static nodes to express the signal processing relationships between static nodes of the system model; during the construction of the system model, the static diagram cannot be directly run, and corresponding sequence diagrams must be set to support the running order, specific signal transmission direction, and signal function conversion method of each static node in the static diagram.
[0051] In some embodiments, multiple timing activities are serially connected to the timing node based on a serial relationship;
[0052] As Figure 2 shown, in the sequence diagram, the timing nodes are arranged in parallel; each timing activity is serially arranged under the corresponding timing node;
[0053] The timing connection is between two timing nodes.
[0054] In the sequence diagram built in this embodiment, timing nodes are mapped to each static node one by one. Developers can add timing activities in the dropdown lines (the serial relationship is visualized as a dropdown line) of each timing node according to requirements. The dropdown line represents the chronological order, and the existence of the dropdown line gives the upstream and downstream relationship to the timing activities.
[0055] In this embodiment, the serial relationship is used to express the sequential occurrence order of timing activities;
[0056] The timing activities are configured to be set at specific positions in the serial relationship based on manual operations;
[0057] The timing connection is configured to connect at least two specific timing activities based on manual dragging.
[0058] In this embodiment, after the static diagram and the sequence diagram are automatically mapped based on the program, developers can add or delete timing nodes, adjust the timing connections between timing nodes, add or delete the timing connections between timing nodes in the sequence diagram according to requirements to further visualize the sequence diagram.
[0059] When building the system model, this embodiment supports directly dragging the connection relationships of each line in the sequence diagram to connect each sequence node, and the sequence diagram is automatically generated, greatly reducing the development complexity and significantly improving the system development speed. Since each static node is reflected in the sequence diagram, the problems of inconsistent event descriptions and missing signals are avoided. At the same time, this embodiment concretizes and simplifies the development process of the sequence diagram, and the quality consistency of the drawn sequence diagram is very high.
[0060] In some embodiments, the static node is an expandable node, and after expansion, a sub-static diagram of the same type as the static diagram model is generated;
[0061] When the static node is set as an expandable node, the corresponding sequence node in the sequence diagram is also configured as an expandable node; after the expansion of the sequence node, a sub-sequence diagram of the same type as the sequence diagram model is generated;
[0062] The sub-static diagram and the sub-sequence diagram are mapped to each other.
[0063] In some embodiments, the sub-static nodes and sub-sequence nodes in the sub-static diagram and the sub-sequence diagram can also be set as expandable, and the lower-level nodes after expansion can also be set as expandable, and developers can configure the required levels according to specific needs.
[0064] The sequence activities of the sequence diagram need to expand a new sequence diagram after being opened. Therefore, as Figure 3 shown, in the sequence diagram, at least part of the sequence activities are set to expand into a sub-sequence diagram after being opened; the sub-sequence diagram includes a plurality of sub-sequence nodes and a plurality of sequence activities of each of the sub-sequence modules; each of the sequence activities is set to be connectable based on a sequence connection line. The sub-static diagram - sub-sequence diagram composition mode of this embodiment is the same as the above-mentioned static diagram - sequence diagram. This embodiment can be applied to the development of system models with multi-layer modules - activities.
[0065] In some embodiments, the static diagram and the sequence diagram are configured to be switched arbitrarily based on human clicks and the like. Similarly, the sub-static diagram and the sub-sequence diagram are also configured to be switched arbitrarily based on human clicks and the like.
[0066] In some embodiments, the static node, the sequence node, and the sequence activity are all configured such that the model attributes can be custom-set. In the sequence diagram, the events and trigger orders of each sequence node can be customized;
[0067] The customizable attributes include attribute name, variable name, value, calculation book, formula, drop-down box, icon, screening option, and / or description item.
[0068] In this embodiment, the custom attributes in the static diagram and the sequence diagram can be fully characterized by various types of data and information such as text, charts, functions, formulas, numerical values, programs, etc. to represent their physical characteristics, mathematical characteristics or biological characteristics, and additional explanations are attached. In the sequence diagram, time series characteristics such as editable multimodal event information and trigger order can be edited.
[0069] This embodiment configures various attributes for the static nodes and the sequence nodes to make the static diagram and the sequence diagram more concrete. At the same time, in this embodiment, the sub-static diagrams, sub-sequence diagrams, and their respective lower-level diagrams are all configured with this function.
[0070] In some embodiments, a static calculation module is configured in the static diagram;
[0071] The static calculation module calculates the required numerical values based on the attributes configured for the static nodes in a manner of function operation and / or program.
[0072] Function operations and programs can directly call the required content in the attributes configured for the static nodes as needed, and are configured according to the needs of the developer to obtain the required data such as distance, materials used, personnel allocation, etc. At the same time, in this embodiment, the sub-static diagrams, sub-sequence diagrams, and their respective lower-level diagrams are all configured with this function.
[0073] In some embodiments, a dynamic calculation module is configured in the sequence diagram; the dynamic calculation module drives the simulation of each of the sequence activities in the sequence diagram in chronological order based on a program.
[0074] The dynamic calculation module of this embodiment drives the simulation operation of the sequence nodes in the order of time. On the time line, the prior sequence activities are calculated based on the added attributes to obtain the corresponding operation data and transmitted to the next sequence activity based on the sequence connection lines. Finally, the entire sequence diagram completes the simulation and obtains the intermediate data and the data after operation. These data can be exported based on reports, etc. Taking basic mathematical mixed operations as an example, the sequence diagram affects the calculation process of the data flow by adjusting the trigger order based on the operation rules contained in each model. Taking control logic design as an example, the sequence diagram affects the judgment environment process of the control logic conduction chain by adjusting the trigger order based on the NAND gate judgment rules contained in each model. Taking the process flow as an example, the sequence diagram affects the quality of the final product by adjusting the process order. And so on, the sequence diagram and the static diagram are two sides of the same thing, expressing the whole picture more richly and comprehensively.
[0075] At the same time, in this embodiment, the sub-static diagrams, sub-sequence diagrams, and their respective lower-level diagrams are all configured with this function.
[0076] In some embodiments, in a timing diagram, each timing node and timing activity are configured with different attributes according to the needs of the developer to support various function operation modes required specifically.
[0077] In some embodiments, in the timing diagram, as Figure 2 shown, the present invention adopts a tiled and expanded timing diagram, where each timing node is arranged in parallel; each timing activity is arranged in series and separated under the corresponding timing module; and each connection relationship is set between each timing module.
[0078] In some embodiments, the model is a knowledge tree model. The knowledge tree in this embodiment is a visual knowledge representation method that organizes knowledge according to its internal logical or hierarchical relationships to form a tree-like structure. In the knowledge tree, each knowledge point is represented as a node of the tree, and the connection relationships between the nodes reflect the logical or hierarchical relationships between the knowledge points. Specifically, a knowledge tree usually contains one or more root nodes, which represent the core concepts or basic knowledge points of a certain field or topic. Starting from the root node, multiple branches can be extended downward, and each branch represents a sub-field or sub-topic. On each branch, more detailed sub-nodes can be further extended, and these sub-nodes represent more specific and in-depth knowledge points. By constructing a knowledge tree, people can more clearly understand the knowledge structure of a certain field or topic, grasp the internal connections and logical relationships between knowledge points. At the same time, the knowledge tree can also help people sort out, summarize and generalize knowledge, improving the efficiency and quality of learning. In practical applications, the knowledge tree can be applied to multiple fields, such as education, scientific research, enterprise management, etc. In the field of education, teachers can use the knowledge tree to sort out teaching content to help students better understand and master knowledge; in the field of scientific research, researchers can use the knowledge tree to sort out the knowledge context of the research field to discover new research questions and directions; in the field of enterprise management, enterprises can use the knowledge tree to sort out the business processes and knowledge systems of the enterprise to improve the operation efficiency and innovation ability of the enterprise.
[0079] Due to the complex order of the root-branch relationships of the knowledge tree, the extremely large amount of data, and the complex connection relationships between branches, the model building method in this embodiment has a very good effect when applied to the development of the knowledge tree.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present disclosure should be covered by the protection scope of the present disclosure.
