[0038] To deepen the understanding of the present invention, the following will further elaborate on the present invention in combination with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] This embodiment proposes a low-code platform system that can simplify the development process, improve development efficiency, and has good user permission management and process control functions;

[0041] It includes a main interface, an online development module, a permission management module, a process management module, a system settings module, a log management module, and an application management module.

[0042] Main interface: Integrates a real-time data statistics panel (application construction progress, system resource occupancy rate, user activity), supports custom component layout and theme switching, adopts a two-tier design of sidebar + top navigation, arranges module entrances according to functional priorities, and supports users to customize quick access paths.

[0043] Online development: Provides report development and menu development functions, allowing users to quickly generate business data reports and front-end function modules through a graphical interface. Provides more than 20 preset chart templates such as bar charts, line charts, and heat maps, supports accessing multi-source data (MySQL, MongoDB, third-party system interfaces) through SQL or API, allows users to dynamically filter the report data range through form controls (drop-down boxes, date pickers), and generates interactive reports. Builds more than 50 standard front-end components (tables, forms, pop-ups), supports component property linkage (table column width adaptation, form validation rules) through JSON configuration; generates menu modules that automatically adapt to multi-terminal interfaces such as Web, H5, and mini-programs, and outputs standardized React / Vue code for secondary development.

[0044] Permission management: Includes user management, department management, position management, and role management to finely control users' access and operation permissions to system resources. Supports defining row-level and field-level permissions for data by role; position permissions within a department can inherit the default configuration of the superior, and at the same time, exception rules are supported for overriding. Permission change operations (role assignment, resource authorization) automatically trigger log records, supporting operation traceability and compliance verification.

[0045] Process management: Provides process template design and process setting functions, enabling enterprises to create preset process models and execute work processes according to different business scenarios. Includes more than 10 general process templates such as financial reimbursement, procurement approval, and customer work orders, supports importing BPMN 2.0 standard files for extension, defines process logic by dragging nodes (approval, countersign, conditional branch), and supports setting parallel / serial approval rules and automatic timeout jumps. Automatically triggers different branch processes according to business data, reducing the need for manual intervention.

[0046] System Settings: Include menu management, scheduled tasks, data dictionaries, and parameter management to configure and manage the menu structure, automatically executed tasks, data standardization, and system parameters in the system. Support infinite-level menu configuration, allowing the adjustment of menu order and parent-child relationships by dragging and setting icons and visibility conditions; implement task sharding execution based on the Quartz framework, support failure retry and dependent task chain configuration; define the mapping relationship of enumeration values to ensure semantic consistency of data across the system.

[0047] Log Management: Record the login operations of system users and operations on resources or data to monitor system usage and audit user behavior. Identify high-frequency operation patterns (batch export, sensitive data access) through clustering algorithms and generate user behavior heatmaps to assist in security management; store logs for the past N months in Elasticsearch for real-time retrieval, and compress and archive historical logs to object storage.

[0048] Application Management: Provide system monitoring functions, including service monitoring, cache monitoring, and online user monitoring, to ensure the stable operation and high availability of services. Monitor API response time, error rate, thread pool status, and perform threshold alarms, visually display cache hit rate and memory fragmentation rate, and support one-click cleaning of invalid keys and capacity expansion suggestions.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] According to Figure 1 As shown, this example proposes an operation method for a low-code platform, including the following steps:

[0051] I. Clarify requirements and goals

[0052] Before starting any development work, it is first necessary to clarify business requirements and development goals. The core of this step lies in:

[0053] Identify business requirements: Communicate with relevant business departments to understand their specific requirements and expectations. This can be carried out through requirement surveys, questionnaires, or face-to-face meetings.

[0054] Define development goals: Based on business requirements, clarify development goals and implementation paths. This includes determining the problems to be solved, functional modules, user roles, etc.

[0055] II. Design the flowchart

[0056] The design of the flowchart is the core step in low-code development, mainly including the following content:

[0057] Draw the process framework: Use the process design tool of the low-code platform to draw the framework of the business process. This usually includes start nodes, end nodes, and various intermediate step nodes.

[0058] Define process nodes: Add specific operations and logic to each process node, such as data input, conditional judgment, task assignment, etc.

[0059] Set connections between nodes: Define the connection relationships between various nodes to ensure the logic and coherence of the process.

[0060] Data input: Integrate form components to allow users to input necessary information during the process execution.

[0061] Conditional judgment: Apply IF-THEN-ELSE logic to make automatic decisions based on input data or system status.

[0062] Task assignment: Based on the RBAC model (Role-Based Access Control), assign tasks to specific users or roles.

[0063] Define error-catching nodes and retry logic to ensure that the process can automatically recover or notify relevant personnel for handling when encountering exceptions (data validation failure, external system timeout).

[0064] Set node connections, sequential flow and parallel flow design:

[0065] Sequential flow: Connect nodes in sequence according to the business logic to form a linear execution path.

[0066] Parallel flow: When multiple tasks need to be executed simultaneously (parallel approval by multiple departments), use fork and merge nodes to achieve concurrent processing of the process.

[0067] Dynamically select the next node based on the output data of the node.

[0068] Set fallback paths and conditions to allow the process to return to the previous node or the starting point under specific circumstances.

[0069] Before formal deployment, test the logic and connection relationships of each process node through the simulation function provided by the platform to identify potential errors.

[0070] According to the test feedback, adjust the node processing order, optimize the conditional judgment logic, and reduce the process execution time and resource consumption.

[0071] III. Development and testing

[0072] After designing the flowchart, the next step is the actual development and testing:

[0073] Development implementation: According to the flowchart design, use a low-code platform for development. Usually, this step can be quickly completed by dragging and dropping components, configuring parameters, etc.

[0074] Test Verification: After development is completed, sufficient testing is required to ensure the correctness and stability of the process. Testing can be divided into unit testing, integration testing, and user testing.

[0075] IV. Deployment and Optimization

[0076] After development and testing are completed, the last step is deployment and optimization:

[0077] Deployment to Production: Deploy the developed flow chart to the production environment and put it into formal operation.

[0078] Continuous Optimization: After going live, based on user feedback and actual operation conditions, conduct continuous optimization and improvement. This includes fixing bugs, optimizing performance, adding new features, etc.

[0079] The present invention can provide functions such as online development, permission management, process management, system settings, log management, and application management. Through the main interface, it provides visual development tools and prefabricated components and templates, enabling both developers and non-technical personnel to quickly build application programs through simple drag-and-drop operations and configurations, reducing manual coding, greatly improving the software development efficiency and flexibility, and reducing development costs; moreover, the present invention provides powerful permission management and process control functions to adapt to rapidly changing business requirements. At the same time, the present invention conducts sufficient testing during the development process to ensure the correctness and stability of the process, and performs continuous optimization after subsequent deployment to improve stability.
