[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings. The "electronic device" mentioned in the text may include a smart phone, a tablet computer, a smart TV, an e-book reader, an MP3 player (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III), an MP4 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV) player, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, and so on.

[0022] Figure 1 is a flowchart of the rule management method provided in an embodiment of this application. This embodiment is described by taking the method being used in an electronic device with computing capabilities as an example. The electronic device may be a user terminal or a server. The user terminal includes, but is not limited to: a computer, a tablet computer, etc. The type of the electronic device is not limited in this embodiment. The method at least includes the following steps:

[0023] Step 101: Receive a new creation request, and obtain a rule list according to the rule set identifier carried in the new creation request. The rule list includes at least one rule template, and the rule template includes at least one blank parameter.

[0024] Among them, the corresponding relationship between the rule set identifier and the rule list can be preset by developers. Developers can set multiple rule templates for each business goal as needed to achieve the business goal. The rule template includes at least one blank parameter. Among them, the blank parameter is of a parameter type defined by the developer, but its specific value is to be user-defined.

[0025] Taking the business goal of logistics quotation as an example, the rule template may include over-length fee for volume, fuel surcharge, peak season fee, overweight fee, basic freight, cumulative output of fees, and so on.

[0026] In an example, the rule template may include a condition part and a result part. The condition part and / or the result part includes a blank parameter, and the result part is the content to be executed after the above condition part is satisfied. Taking the rule template for over-length fee as an example, the rule template for over-length fee may be if the lower limit value (blank parameter) < the longest side of the product <= the upper limit value (blank parameter), then the over-length fee is RMB A yuan, and A is a blank parameter. The rule for cumulative output of fees may be to accumulate the output result values of other rule templates of the logistics quotation to obtain the final logistics quotation fee.

[0027] Step 102: Obtain a first target rule, which is obtained after the blank parameter in the rule template is added with a user-defined value.

[0028] Step 103: Generate a first execution code corresponding to the first target rule.

[0029] In summary, the rule management method provided by this application receives a new creation request, obtains a rule list according to the rule set identifier carried in the new creation request. The rule list includes at least one rule template, and the rule template includes at least one blank parameter; obtains a first target rule, which is obtained after the blank parameter in the rule template is added with a user-defined value; generates a first execution code corresponding to the first target rule; solves the problems of high complexity and high learning cost of powerful rule engines in the existing technology in the market; and achieves the effect of simplifying the operation of users for rule management.

[0030] Figure 2It is a flowchart of a rule management method provided by an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, it is described by taking the method being used in an electronic device with computing capabilities as an example. The electronic device can be a user terminal or a server. The user terminal includes, but is not limited to: computers, tablets, etc. The type of the electronic device is not limited in this embodiment. The method at least includes the following steps:

[0031] Step 201, receive a new creation request, and obtain a rule list according to the rule set identifier carried in the new creation request. The rule list includes at least one rule template, and the rule template includes at least one blank parameter.

[0032] Among them, the corresponding relationship between the rule set identifier and the rule list can be preset by developers. The rule set identifier includes at least one of a freight rate quotation identifier and a product quotation identifier. Developers can set multiple rule templates for each business objective as needed to achieve the business objective. The rule template includes at least one blank parameter. Among them, the blank parameter is a parameter type defined by the developer, but its specific value is to be customized by the user.

[0033] Taking the business objective of logistics quotation as an example, the rule template can include over-length fee for volume, fuel surcharge, peak season fee, overweight fee, basic freight, cumulative fee output, etc.

[0034] In one example, the rule template can include a condition part and a result part. The condition part and / or the result part includes a blank parameter. The result part is the content to be executed after the above condition part is satisfied. Taking the rule template of over-length fee as an example, the rule template of over-length fee can be if the lower limit value (blank parameter) cm < the longest side of the product <= the upper limit value (blank parameter) cm, then the over-length fee is RMB A yuan, and A is a blank parameter. The cumulative fee output rule can be to accumulate the output result values of other rule templates of the logistics quotation to obtain the final logistics quotation fee.

[0035] Step 202, display a user interaction interface, and display the at least one rule template in the user interaction interface.

[0036] Specifically, the implementation of this step can be: display the at least one rule template, and input boxes are displayed at the blank parameter positions of each rule template for the user to add custom values.

[0037] Furthermore, a submit button can also be displayed in the user interaction interface. When it is detected that the submit button is triggered, step 203 is executed.

[0038] Step 203, obtain a first target rule in which the blank parameters in the at least one rule template are added with custom values by the user.

[0039] It should be noted that in the several rule templates displayed in the user interface, the user can select a rule template that meets their needs for editing, that is, selectively add custom values to the blank parameters of one or more rule templates.

[0040] Step 204: Generate the first execution code corresponding to the first target rule and its corresponding first storage identifier.

[0041] The implementation of this step can be as follows: Developers pre-set the corresponding running code for each rule template, and the specific values of the blank parameters in the running code are blank. When generating the first execution code corresponding to the first target rule, the custom values added by the user to the blank parameters in the target rule can be directly added to the running code.

[0042] Taking the rule template for the over-length fee as an example, if the lower limit value (blank parameter) cm < the longest side of the product <= the upper limit value (blank parameter) cm, then the over-length fee is RMB A yuan. The lower limit value added by the user as a custom value is 120, the upper limit value added by the user as a custom value is 150, and the over-length fee added by the user as a custom value is 5. Then the code in the condition part of the first execution code can be MVEL.leftLtRightLe(120, in.skuVar.maxLength, 150).

[0043] Furthermore, before executing step 205, the first execution code can be run to verify whether there are errors in the rules configured by the user.

[0044] Step 205: Store the first execution code and the first storage identifier corresponding to it in the code library.

[0045] Optionally, the new request in step 201 carries a user identifier. After generating the first execution code, generate its corresponding first storage identifier and version information; store the corresponding relationship between the first execution code and the first storage identifier, and the corresponding relationship between the first storage identifier, the user identifier, and the version information in the code library.

[0046] Steps 201 to 205 can implement the above functions through the configuration management module. The electronic device can also be provided with an actuator module, which is responsible for rule execution and mainly consists of five parts: rule loading, rule parsing, rule matching, rule execution, and runtime data, and can execute the first execution code. Specifically, the first execution code can be run when receiving a quotation request, and the fee calculation result obtained by running the first code can be output.

[0047] In summary, the rule management method provided by this application receives a new request, obtains a rule list according to the rule set identifier carried in the new request. The rule list includes at least one rule template, and the rule template includes at least one blank parameter; obtains a first target rule, which is obtained after the blank parameter in the rule template is added with a user-defined value by the user; generates a first execution code corresponding to the first target rule; solves the problem in the prior art that the rule engines with powerful functions in the market have high complexity and high learning costs; achieves the effect of simplifying the operation of users for rule management; provides an easy-to-operate rule management user interface, thus truly realizing the support for non-technical personnel to flexibly edit rules.

[0048] Optionally, the user can also copy the rule set function in the user interface to achieve efficient batch addition of rules. The specific implementation can be to display a copy button in the user interface, and when it is detected that the copy button is triggered, receive a rule copy request, which carries a first storage identifier corresponding to the rule to be copied; obtain the first execution code corresponding to the first storage identifier in the code library; create a second storage identifier, and store the first execution code and the second storage identifier in the code library in correspondence.

[0049] In an example, the rules edited by the user can be modified. The specific implementation can be: display an edit button in the user interface; receive an edit request carrying a third storage identifier, which is generated when the edit button is triggered; obtain the first execution code corresponding to the third storage identifier, and display the first target rule and at least one rule template according to the first execution code; obtain a second target rule, which includes the first target rule and the rule obtained after the blank parameter in the rule template is added with a user-defined value by the user; generate a second execution code according to the second target rule, and use the second execution code to replace the first execution code corresponding to the third storage identifier in the code library.

[0050] If the user needs to adjust the quotation rules related to weight, he can very conveniently customize the quotation methods for different weight ranges on the user interface, and the background will automatically convert the input on the page into the corresponding running code, such as the mvel expression. The mvel expression corresponding to the condition part is: MVEL.leftLtRightLe({calculatedWeight1},out.skuVar.calculatedWeight,{calculated Weight2},true); the mvel expression corresponding to the cost accumulation rule is: {factor1}+{factor2}*Math.ceil(out.skuVar.calculatedWeight-{factor3}).

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided. A program is stored in the storage medium and is used to implement any one of the above rule management methods when executed by a processor.

In actual applications, the above functions can be allocated to different program modules according to needs, that is, the internal structure of the electronic device is divided into different program modules to complete all or part of the functions described above.
