Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of graphical models, and in particular, to a modeling method, device, electronic device, and storage medium based on relationships and relationship annotations. Background Art

[0002] In the existing model, the association relationships are configured first, and the information represented by each association relationship is specified; then the association relationships are used to connect the graphic elements to express specific logic. The specific technical solution diagram is as Figure 1 shown.

[0003] Configure association relationships: Configure each association relationship that needs to be used in sequence, and specify its display style and expression meaning; Drag and connect graphic elements: On the layer where the association relationship needs to be established, use the mouse to drag from one graphic element to another to create an association relationship; Select an association relationship: According to the different types of graphic elements at both ends of the connection, select different types of association relationships to express different meanings and logics.

[0004] The existing technical solutions for association relationships mainly have the following two problems: (1) If you want the association relationship to express more diverse and complex logics, a relatively cumbersome configuration process needs to be carried out before establishing the association relationship; (2) The meanings and logics expressed by the configured association relationships are relatively single, and the association relationships are triggered when the data changes.

[0005] In summary, in the traditional modeling method, when creating the association relationship between graphic elements, there are technical problems of cumbersome configuration, single meaning and logic of the configured association relationship, and poor flexibility of the triggering condition.

Detailed implementation manners

[0020] Next, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] In traditional modeling methods, when creating an associated relationship between graphic elements, the configuration is cumbersome, and the meaning and logic of the configured associated relationship are single, and the trigger condition has poor flexibility.

[0022] Based on this, in the modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations of the present invention, optional associated relationships between the starting graphic element to be connected and the ending graphic element to be connected are built-in in the modeling system. In this way, there is no need to perform a cumbersome process of configuring the associated relationship before establishing the associated relationship. In addition, after the initial associated relationship is established, a configuration page for the initial associated relationship will be displayed to configure the type and trigger condition of the initial associated relationship, thereby obtaining an associated relationship with annotations. The meaning and logic of the associated relationship with annotations are richer, and the trigger condition can also be configured, that is, the trigger condition is more flexible.

[0023] To facilitate the understanding of this embodiment, first, a modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention will be introduced in detail.

[0024] Embodiment 1: According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than here.

[0025] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2As shown, the method includes the following steps: Step S202, in response to a connection operation for connecting a starting primitive to be connected to an ending primitive to be connected, establish an initial association relationship between the starting primitive to be connected and the ending primitive to be connected; In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the starting primitive to be connected and the ending primitive to be connected are displayed through a graphical user interface of a modeling system, and optional association relationships between the starting primitive to be connected and the ending primitive to be connected are built in the modeling system.

[0026] Specifically, the above-mentioned starting primitive to be connected and ending primitive to be connected can be obtained by the user dragging and dropping primitives in the primitives built in the modeling system into the graphical user interface. The above-mentioned primitives can specifically include objects and processes. The above-mentioned connection operation can specifically be a drag operation, that is, by dragging the starting primitive to be connected to the ending primitive to be connected, an initial association relationship is established between the starting primitive to be connected and the ending primitive to be connected. As Figure 3 shown, the above-mentioned connection operation can also be a double-click operation. Specifically, first double-click on the starting primitive to be connected, and then double-click on the ending primitive to be connected, thereby establishing an initial association relationship between the starting primitive to be connected and the ending primitive to be connected. Of course, the above-mentioned connection operation can also be a single-click operation or a right-click operation. The embodiments of the present invention do not specifically limit the above-mentioned connection operation.

[0027] In addition, the above-mentioned primitives and association relationships are pre-programmed in the modeling system through a modeling language, and they have specific meanings and can be deduced and run later.

[0028] Step S204, in response to the end of the connection operation, display a configuration page of the initial association relationship in the graphical user interface. Among them, the configuration page includes: the types of each association relationship in the optional association relationships, and the trigger conditions corresponding to each association relationship; Specifically, if the connection operation is a drag operation, then the end of the connection operation is the end of the drag operation, that is, after dragging to the ending primitive to be connected and releasing the left mouse button, a configuration page of the initial association relationship will be displayed in the graphical user interface. As Figure 4 shown, the above-mentioned configuration page includes: the types of each association relationship in the optional association relationships, and the trigger conditions corresponding to each association relationship. As Figure 4 shown, the types include: conditional relationship, call relationship, unidirectional tagged relationship, bidirectional tagged relationship, and also include the symbols of each type of association relationship. The above-mentioned trigger conditions are the Figure 4 events in.

[0029] Step S206: In response to the configuration operation on the configuration page, create an annotated association relationship between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected, thereby obtaining a model composed of the starting element to be connected, the ending element to be connected, and the annotated association relationship. The annotated association relationship is used to represent the type and trigger conditions of the association relationship configured in the configuration operation.

[0030] Specifically, according to the scenario requirements, the user can select different association relationships and check which event (i.e., trigger condition) triggers the association relationship, complete the configuration operation on the configuration page, and then create an annotated association relationship between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected, obtaining a model composed of the starting element to be connected, the ending element to be connected, and the annotated association relationship. As Figure 5 shown, the annotated association relationship is used to express a specific logic (i.e., the call logic, which is displayed through the association relationship ontology, i.e., Figure 5 the arrow style in), and when this association relationship is triggered by what event (i.e., Figure 5 a and v in), indicating that it is triggered when the object is generated or the object changes).

[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, a modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations is provided. The starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected are displayed through the graphical user interface of the modeling system. Optional association relationships between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected are already built into the modeling system. The method includes: responding to a connection operation from the starting element to be connected to the ending element to be connected, establishing an initial association relationship between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected; responding to the end of the connection operation, displaying a configuration page for the initial association relationship on the graphical user interface, where the configuration page includes: the types of each association relationship in the optional association relationships and the triggering conditions corresponding to each association relationship; responding to a configuration operation on the configuration page, creating an annotated association relationship between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected, and thus obtaining a model composed of the starting element to be connected, the ending element to be connected, and the annotated association relationship, where the annotated association relationship is used to represent the type and triggering conditions of the association relationship configured in the configuration operation. Through the above description, it can be seen that in the modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations of the present invention, optional association relationships between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected are already built into the modeling system. In this way, there is no need to perform a cumbersome process of configuring association relationships before establishing the association relationship. In addition, after the initial association relationship is established, a configuration page for the initial association relationship will be displayed to configure the type and triggering conditions of the initial association relationship, and thus an annotated association relationship is obtained. The meaning and logic of the annotated association relationship are richer, and the triggering conditions can also be configured, that is, the triggering conditions are more flexible, alleviating the technical problems in traditional modeling methods, such as cumbersome configuration, single meaning and logic of the configured association relationship, and poor flexibility of the triggering conditions when creating association relationships between elements.

[0032] The above content briefly introduces the modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations of the present invention. The following will describe the specific content involved in detail.

[0033] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes the following steps: (1) Responding to a selection operation on the annotated association relationship, displaying a modification page for the annotated association relationship; Specifically, after obtaining the annotated association relationship, the annotated association relationship can be clicked to be selected, and then a modification page for the annotated association relationship is displayed. As Figure 6 shown, the page on the right is the modification page.

[0034] (2) Responding to a modification operation on the modification page, creating a modified annotated association relationship between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected.

[0035] Specifically, as Figure 6As shown in the figure, after setting the relationship probability to 0.5 and the logical judgment to (>10) on the modification page, a modified annotated association relationship is created between the starting primitive to be connected and the ending primitive to be connected. The modified annotated association relationship is marked with the relationship probability and the logical judgment, that is, by adding annotations to the association relationship, more abundant meanings and logics are expressed.

[0036] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the triggering conditions include: object generation, object change, and object disappearance.

[0037] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the modification page includes: relationship probability, optional type, and logical judgment.

[0038] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes the following steps: Respond to the deduction operation for the model and perform the deduction operation on the model.

[0039] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes the following steps: Respond to the deletion operation for the annotated association relationship and delete the annotated association relationship between the starting primitive to be connected and the ending primitive to be connected.

[0040] Specifically, the user can first select the above-mentioned annotated association relationship, and then click the delete key (such as the delete key), and the annotated association relationship can be deleted to re-select the association relationship.

[0041] The modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations of the present invention can concisely express more semantics and logics in the modeling scenario by creating an initial association relationship and setting annotations (types, events, relationship probabilities, logical judgments, etc.) for the initial association relationship according to the scenario. The user can check different annotations when creating the association relationship to endow the association relationship with more meanings and triggering conditions; and after creating the annotated association relationship, the attributes of the annotated association relationship can also be modified to add more identifiers (i.e., annotations) to express more semantics and logics, that is, on the premise of ensuring convenience and simplicity, more semantics and expressible logics are provided for the association relationship.

[0042] In the method of the present invention, the user can express the logical relationship between different primitives more richly. By adding identifiers to the association relationship, the types of logics that the association relationship can express can be further improved.

[0043] Embodiment 2: An embodiment of the present invention further provides a modeling device based on relationships and relationship annotations. This modeling device based on relationships and relationship annotations is mainly used to execute the modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The following is a specific introduction to the modeling device based on relationships and relationship annotations provided in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0044] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a modeling device based on relationships and relationship annotations according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 7 shown. The device mainly includes: a establishing unit 10, a display unit 20, and a creating unit 30, where: The establishing unit is configured to respond to a connection operation for connecting a starting primitive to be connected to a terminating primitive to be connected, and establish an initial association relationship between the starting primitive to be connected and the terminating primitive to be connected. The display unit is configured to respond to the end of the connection operation and display a configuration page of the initial association relationship in a graphical user interface. The configuration page includes: the types of each association relationship in the optional association relationships, and the triggering conditions corresponding to each association relationship. The creating unit is configured to respond to a configuration operation for the configuration page, create an annotated association relationship between the starting primitive to be connected and the terminating primitive to be connected, and then obtain a model composed of the starting primitive to be connected, the terminating primitive to be connected, and the annotated association relationship. The annotated association relationship is used to represent the type and triggering conditions of the association relationship configured in the configuration operation.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, a modeling device based on relationships and relationship annotations is provided. The starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected are displayed through the graphical user interface of the modeling system. Optional association relationships between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected are already built into the modeling system.

From the above description, it can be seen that in the modeling device based on relationships and relationship annotations of the present invention, optional association relationships between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected are already built into the modeling system. In this way, there is no need to perform a cumbersome process of configuring association relationships before establishing the association relationship. In addition, after the initial association relationship is established, a configuration page for the initial association relationship will be displayed to configure the type and triggering conditions of the initial association relationship, and then an annotated association relationship is obtained. The meaning and logic of the annotated association relationship are richer, and the triggering conditions can also be configured, that is, the triggering conditions are more flexible, alleviating the technical problems in traditional modeling methods where the configuration is cumbersome, the meaning and logic of the configured association relationship are single, and the triggering conditions have poor flexibility.
