[0002] The existing model is to first configure the association relationship and specify the information represented by each association relationship; then use the association relationship to connect the elements to express specific logic. Figure 1 shown.

[0003] Configure association relationships: Configure each association relationship that needs to be used in turn, and specify its display style and expression meaning;

[0004] Drag and drop to connect elements: On the layer where you want to establish an association, use the mouse to drag from one element to another to create an association;

[0043] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] In traditional modeling methods, when creating association relationships between graphic elements, the configuration is cumbersome, the meaning and logic of the configured association relationships are simple, and the triggering conditions are inflexible.

[0045] Based on this, in the modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations of the present invention, an optional association relationship between the starting graphic element to be connected and the ending graphic element to be connected has been built into the modeling system. In this way, there is no need to go through the tedious process of configuring the association relationship before establishing the association relationship. In addition, after the initial association relationship is established, the configuration page of the initial association relationship will be displayed, and the type and trigger conditions of the initial association relationship will be configured to obtain an annotated association relationship. The meaning and logic of the annotated association relationship are richer, and the trigger conditions can also be configured, that is, the trigger conditions are more flexible.

[0046] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is first introduced in detail.

[0047] Example 1:

[0048] 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 a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0049] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0050] Step S202 , in response to a connection operation from the start primitive to be connected to the end primitive to be connected, establishing an initial association relationship between the start primitive to be connected and the end primitive to be connected;

[0051] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the starting primitives to be connected and the ending primitives to be connected are displayed through the graphical user interface of the modeling system, and the modeling system has built-in optional association relationships between the starting primitives to be connected and the ending primitives to be connected.

[0052] The above-mentioned starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected can be elements built into the modeling system, obtained by the user dragging the elements to the graphical user interface. The above-mentioned elements can specifically include objects and processes. The above-mentioned connection operation can specifically be a drag-and-drop operation, that is, by dragging the starting element to be connected to the ending element to be connected, thereby establishing an initial association relationship between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected, such as Figure 3 As shown, the above connection operation can also be a double-click operation, specifically, first double-clicking on the starting element to be connected, and then double-clicking on the ending element to be connected, thereby establishing an initial association relationship between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected. Of course, the above connection operation can also be a single-click operation, or a right-click operation. The embodiment of the present invention does not impose specific restrictions on the above connection operation.

[0053] In addition, the above-mentioned graphic elements and their relationships are obtained in advance through programming in the modeling system through the modeling language. They have specific meanings and can be deduced and run subsequently.

[0054] Step S204: In response to the completion of the connection operation, a configuration page of the initial association relationship is displayed on the graphical user interface, wherein the configuration page includes: the type of each association relationship among the optional association relationships and the triggering condition corresponding to each association relationship;

[0055] Specifically, if the connection operation is a drag operation, the end of the connection operation is the end of the drag operation, that is, after dragging to the end element to be connected, releasing the left mouse button, the configuration page of the initial association relationship will be displayed in the graphical user interface, such as Figure 4 As shown, the above configuration page includes: the type of each relationship in the optional relationship, the triggering conditions corresponding to each relationship, such as Figure 4 As shown, the types include: conditional relationship, call relationship, unidirectional labeled relationship, bidirectional labeled relationship, and symbols of each type of association relationship. The trigger condition mentioned above is Figure 4 Events in .

[0056] Step S206, in response to the configuration operation for the configuration page, creates an annotated association relationship between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected, thereby obtaining a model consisting of the starting element to be connected, the ending element to be connected and the annotated association relationship, wherein the annotated association relationship is used to characterize the type and triggering conditions of the association relationship configured in the configuration operation.

[0057] Specifically, according to the needs of the scene, the user can select different association relationships and check the event (i.e., trigger condition) when the association relationship is triggered. After completing the configuration operation on the configuration page, a labeled association relationship is created between the start element to be connected and the end element to be connected. A model consisting of the start element to be connected, the end element to be connected, and the labeled association relationship is obtained, such as Figure 5 As shown, the annotated association relationship is used to express specific logic (i.e., call logic, which is displayed through the association relationship ontology, i.e. Figure 5 ), and the event at which the association is triggered (i.e. Figure 5 The a and v in the __name__ indicate that the event is triggered when an object is created or changed).

[0058] In an embodiment of the present invention, a modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations is provided, in which a starting element to be connected and an ending element to be connected are displayed through a graphical user interface of a modeling system, and an optional association relationship between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected is built into the modeling system. The method includes: in response 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; in response to the end of the connection operation, displaying a configuration page of the initial association relationship on the graphical user interface, wherein the configuration page includes: the type of each association relationship in the optional association relationship, and the trigger condition corresponding to each association relationship; in response to the 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, thereby obtaining a model consisting of the starting element to be connected, the ending element to be connected and the annotated association relationship, wherein the annotated association relationship is used to characterize the type and trigger condition of the association relationship configured in the configuration operation. From the above description, it can be seen that in the modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations of the present invention, an optional association relationship between the starting graphic element to be connected and the ending graphic element to be connected has been built into the modeling system. In this way, there is no need to perform a tedious process of configuring the association relationship before establishing the association relationship. In addition, after the initial association relationship is established, the configuration page of the initial association relationship will be displayed, and the type and trigger conditions of the initial association relationship will be configured to obtain an annotated association relationship. The meaning and logic of the annotated association relationship are richer, and the trigger conditions can also be configured, that is, the trigger conditions are more flexible, which alleviates the technical problems in traditional modeling methods when creating association relationships between graphic elements, such as cumbersome configuration, single meaning and logic of the configured association relationship, and poor flexibility of the trigger conditions.

[0059] The above content briefly introduces the modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations of the present invention. The specific contents involved are described in detail below.

[0060] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0061] (1) In response to a selection operation on a labeled relationship, a modification page for the labeled relationship is displayed;

[0062] Specifically, after obtaining the annotated relationship, you can click to select the annotated relationship to display the modification page of the annotated relationship, such as Figure 6 As shown, the page on the right is the modification page.

[0063] (2) In response to a modification operation on the modification page, a modified annotated association relationship is created between the start element to be connected and the end element to be connected.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As 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 element to be connected and the ending element to be connected. The modified annotated association relationship is annotated with the relationship probability and logical judgment, that is, by adding annotations to the association relationship, richer meanings and logic are expressed.

[0065] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the triggering conditions include: object generation, object change, and object disappearance.

[0066] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the modification page includes: relationship probability, optional type and logical judgment.

[0067] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0068] In response to the deduction and running operation for the model, the model is deduced and run.

[0069] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0070] In response to a deletion operation on the labeled association relationship, the labeled association relationship between the to-be-connected start graphic element and the to-be-connected end graphic element is deleted.

[0071] Specifically, the user may first select the aforementioned labeled association relationship, and then click a delete key (such as a delete key) to delete the labeled association relationship, so as to select a new association relationship.

[0072] The modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations of the present invention creates initial relationships and assigns annotations (such as type, event, relationship probability, and logical judgment) to these relationships based on the scenario, enabling the modeling scenario to concisely express more semantics and logic. When creating relationships, users can select different annotations to give them more meaning and trigger conditions. After creating annotated relationships, they can also modify their properties to add more identifiers (i.e., annotations) to express more semantics and logic. This provides relationships with more semantics and expressible logic while ensuring convenience and simplicity.

[0073] In the method of the present invention, users can express the logical relationships between different graphic elements in a richer manner. By adding identifiers to the association relationships, the types of logic that can be expressed by the association relationships can be further improved.

[0074] Example 2:

[0075] An embodiment of the present invention also provides a modeling device based on relationships and relationship annotations. The modeling device based on relationships and relationship annotations is mainly used to execute the modeling method based on relationships and relationship annotations provided in Example 1 of the present invention. The following is a detailed introduction to the modeling device based on relationships and relationship annotations provided in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0078] A display unit, configured to display a configuration page of the initial association relationship on a graphical user interface in response to the end of the connection operation, wherein the configuration page includes: a type of each association relationship among the optional association relationships and a trigger condition corresponding to each association relationship;

[0079] A creation unit is used to respond to a configuration operation on a configuration page, create an annotated association relationship between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected, and then obtain a model consisting of the starting element to be connected, the ending element to be connected and the annotated association relationship, wherein the annotated association relationship is used to characterize the type and triggering conditions of the association relationship configured in the configuration operation.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present invention, a modeling device based on relationships and relationship annotations is provided, which displays the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected through the graphical user interface of the modeling system, and the modeling system has built-in optional association relationships between the starting element to be connected and the ending element to be connected. The device includes: in response 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; in response to the end of the connection operation, displaying a configuration page of the initial association relationship on the graphical user interface, wherein the configuration page includes: the type of each association relationship in the optional association relationship, and the trigger condition corresponding to each association relationship; in response to the 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, thereby obtaining a model composed of the starting element to be connected, the ending element to be connected and the annotated association relationship, wherein the annotated association relationship is used to characterize the type and trigger condition of the association relationship configured in the configuration operation. From the above description, it can be seen that in the modeling device based on relationships and relationship annotations of the present invention, an optional association relationship between the starting graphic element to be connected and the ending graphic element to be connected has been built into the modeling system. In this way, there is no need to perform a tedious process of configuring the association relationship before establishing the association relationship. In addition, after the initial association relationship is established, the configuration page of the initial association relationship will be displayed, and the type and trigger conditions of the initial association relationship will be configured to obtain an annotated association relationship. The meaning and logic of the annotated association relationship are richer, and the trigger conditions can also be configured, that is, the trigger conditions are more flexible, which alleviates the technical problems in traditional modeling methods when creating association relationships between graphic elements, such as cumbersome configuration, single meaning and logic of the configured association relationship, and poor flexibility of the trigger conditions.
