Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of civil aircraft manufacturing technology, and in particular to a method, system, device and medium for generating an airline manual for civil aircraft flight operations manuals. Background Art

[0002] The process of distributing a browse-only civil aircraft manual from the manufacturer to an airline typically involves four stages: manufacturer administrators push manual updates, airline administrators receive the manuals, airline administrators push manual updates, and airline viewers view the manuals. In many cases, airlines also need to customize the manufacturer's manuals before submitting them to aviation authorities for approval or internal use, often adding two intermediate steps: airline editing and distribution.

[0003] In each link of civil aircraft manual processing, it usually involves collaborative editing by multiple people. The existing processing method is to manage the civil aircraft manual using Word files, manually split the Word files and divide the work, and edit them through multi-person collaboration. However, in the process of multi-person collaboration, inconsistent editing habits or other situations are inevitable, resulting in format confusion after document merging and difficulty in document version management. This makes the compilation of civil aircraft manuals inefficient, and manually merging versions after manual modification requires a lot of manpower investment.

[0004] Based on the above problems, the applicant proposed the technical solution of this application. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The present invention performs tree structure parsing after receiving the manual and adopts JackRabbit storage to realize multi-version storage and management of aircraft operation manuals, identifies difference content through comparison, and divides it into OEM-only changes, airline-only changes, and OEM and airline changes at the same time, realizes element and attribute level content changes and displays DM change data on a DM basis, and automatically updates DM addition, deletion and modification record files, airline change summaries and effective chapter directories when the airline releases them.

[0026] The concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of the method for generating an airline manual for civil aircraft flight operations manuals according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the invention easier to understand, the invention is further described below with reference to specific diagrams. However, the invention is not limited to the following implementation cases.

[0029] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings in this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification so that people familiar with this technology can understand and read them. They are not used to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Therefore, they have no substantive technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change in the proportion relationship or adjustment of the size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention without affecting the efficacy and purpose that can be achieved by the present invention.

[0030] The first embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for generating an airline manual for civil aircraft flight operation manuals. Between the processing steps of the manufacturer administrator pushing manual updates, the airline administrator receiving the manuals, the airline administrator pushing manual updates, and the airline browser viewing the manuals, two intermediate links, namely, the airline editing the manual and the airline publishing the manual, are added. This enables automatic generation of the airline manual when there are multiple versions of the manual pushed by the supplier, thereby avoiding the low efficiency and high investment caused by manual manual merging.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for generating an airline manual for a civil aircraft flight operations manual disclosed in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0032] Step S1: Receive the supplier push manual and perform tree-structured processing, store the supplier push manual, determine the version information of the supplier push manual, and if the version information is the first edition manual, copy the supplier push manual to generate an airline version data package. If the version information is a revised manual, store the revised manual, and identify the difference in content between the revised manual and the historical version manual. The historical version manual is the latest stored version of the supplier push manual.

[0033] Specifically, the first edition of the flight operations manual is received, that is, the manual pushed by the supplier. The data of this type of manual adopts the technical publication data standard (i.e., S1000D specification and ATA Spec 2300 specification). The manual pushed by the supplier is stored in the JackRabbit content warehouse and then parsed. The tree-structured processing forms several data modules DM. Each data module DM follows the XML Schema definition of S1000D. The data module DM is the smallest management unit of the flight operations manual data. Each DM is an XML file. Version storage is performed in the content warehouse. There are multiple versions of the manual pushed by the supplier, but there is only one airline version. The airline editors implement the airline version data change by processing the manual change data and finally publish the airline version manual.

[0034] After receiving the supplier-pushed manual, the version is checked. If it's the initial edition, it's stored directly and copied to generate the airline-version data package. If it's a revised version, multiple versions of the supplier-pushed manual will exist in the JackRabbit content warehouse after storage. The current revised version and previous versions will need to be identified for differences, and the subsequent airline manual content will be processed according to the processing type.

[0035] Step S2: determining the processing type of the airline manual content according to the recognition result of the difference content recognition, editing the content of the airline version data package according to the processing type, and determining the edited airline version data package as the content part of the airline manual.

[0036] Specifically, the processing types of the airline manual content are divided into supplier revision processing, airline revision processing and simultaneous revision processing. The supplier revision processing means that only the supplier pushed manual is modified, the airline revision processing means that only the airline version data package is modified, and the simultaneous revision processing means that both the supplier pushed manual and the airline version data package are modified.

[0037] When performing supplier revision processing and simultaneous revision processing, if the predefined processing strategy is to accept supplier modifications in batches, the data module of the supplier revision processing will be retained in the airline version data package. If the predefined processing strategy is to accept airline modifications in batches, the data module of the airline revision processing will be retained in the airline version data package, and the data module of the supplier revision processing will not be retained in the airline version data package.

[0038] The tree-structured supplier manual push is used to identify changes in the supplier's OEM content, and the new version of the supplier's OEM DML file is parsed to identify the OEM's newly added DM, modified DM, and deleted DM based on the issueType attribute and dmlEntryType attribute in the DML file. In the manual tree management, the DM change data is displayed and divided into OEM revised manual data, airline revised manual data, and OEM and airline simultaneous revised manual data. In other words, if the OEM makes changes but the airline does not, the OEM revision is processed; if the OEM does not make changes but the airline makes changes, the airline revision is processed; if the OEM makes changes and the airline makes changes, the OEM and airline simultaneous revision is processed.

[0039] The specific OEM revision process is that when the OEM adds, modifies or deletes DM, the OEM will be followed or batch-followed, and the OEM new version DM data will be updated to the airline version through JackRabbit, and the airline will implement the DM addition, modification or deletion operations; when the OEM adds, modifies or deletes DM, the airline will be followed or batch-followed, and the airline version DM data will remain unchanged.

[0040] The specific process of airline revision is to add DM tasks and make changes through the editor.

[0041] The specific process of simultaneous revision of OEM and airline is as follows: when OEM adds, modifies or deletes DM, airline also adds, modifies or deletes DM at the same time, follows OEM processing or batch follows OEM processing, updates OEM new version DM data to airline version through JackRabbit, airline DM data is OEM new version data; when OEM adds, modifies or deletes DM, airline also adds, modifies or deletes DM at the same time, follows airline processing or batch follows airline processing, airline version data remains unchanged.

[0042] In one example, in the case where there are multiple versions of manuals pushed by suppliers, after editing the content of the airline version data package, the method for generating an airline manual for a civil aircraft flight operations manual further includes:

[0043] In step S21, the revised manual is used as the current version, and the latest stored supplier-promoted manual is used as the previous version. A file comparison is performed between the current and previous versions, and between the current and airline version data packages. The file comparison follows Schema constraints, and the results are converted to HTML using a Transformer for page display. The file comparison results highlight the addition, modification, and deletion of elements and attributes in the data module DM.

[0044] Specifically, the file comparison utilizes the XMLUnit library and technical publication data standards (i.e., S1000D and ATASpec 2300) to compare three XML files: the previous OEM version of the Flight Operations Manual, the current OEM version, and the airline version. The comparison adheres to schema constraints. Each file is returned as a separate fragment, with diff tags generated by the diffing base, along with any conflicting edits.

[0045] After the comparison, the returned difference object XmlThreeWayDiffResult, the XML file is rendered through the flight operations manual style file, and converted to HTML using Transformer for page display. For example, new flight operations manual DM elements are marked in green, modified flight operations manual DM elements are marked in yellow, and deleted flight operations manual DM elements are marked in red. For new, modified, or deleted DM elements and attributes, by accepting the OEM changes and updating the OEM changes to the airline version, no operation is performed, and the airline data remains unchanged. Through file comparison, element-level OEM changes and airline changes are merged to achieve the addition, modification, and deletion of DM elements. File comparison can also follow the OEM revision or restore button to achieve changes to the entire flight operations manual DM.

[0046] Step S3: Generate a change summary, an airline catalogue, and a record of additions, deletions, and modifications of the airline manual based on the historical editing information of the content editing, and merge the content part, the change summary, the airline catalogue, and the record of additions, deletions, and modifications to generate the airline manual.

[0047] Specifically, the historical editing information changed by the airline is obtained according to the identification number attribute of the element identifying the update reason in the data module DM, and is written into the change summary of the airline manual, thereby realizing the automatic generation of the change summary.

[0048] After the airline manual is edited, it is finalized. Manual changes are divided into airline changes and OEM changes. The change summary, effective chapter directory and DM addition, deletion and modification record file record the actual changes of the airline manual. If the OEM changes, but does not follow the OEM modification, it will not be recorded. According to the id attribute of the reasonForUpdate element in the DM, the airline changes are obtained and the airline change summary (00U file) is written to achieve automatic update of the airline change summary. When finalizing, the effective chapter directory (00S file) is processed, and the issueType and issueDate attributes of the 00S file are updated according to the issueType and issueDate attributes of the DM to achieve automatic update of the airline's effective chapter directory. When finalizing, the DM addition, deletion and modification record file (DML file) is also processed, and the issueType attribute of the corresponding DM is modified to identify the change type (new, changed, deleted, revised, status, rinstate-status, rinstate-changed, rinstate-revised) and issueDate to achieve automatic update of the DM addition, deletion and modification record file.

[0049] The present invention uses JackRabbit and Mysql, and combines the S1000D specification and the ATA Spec2300 specification to realize the multi-version storage and management of flight operation manuals, that is, the storage and management of the previous OEM version of the manual, the current OEM version and the airline version. In the version storage, there are multiple OEM versions, and there is only one airline version. The airline editors process the manual change data to realize the airline version data change, and finally publish the airline version manual. After receiving the first edition of the manual, a tree structure is parsed. The revised manual generates a difference list by parsing the special file DML file of the flight operation manual. The DML file is an XML file that records the addition, deletion and modification of the flight operation manual. Its file name starts with DML and is used to identify OEM changes. By following the OEM or following the airline, the DM (data module) level OEM changes and airline changes are merged. DM changes include DM additions, DM modifications and DM deletions.

[0050] The present invention displays DM change data in the manual tree management, and divides it into OEM revision, airline revision and OEM and airline revision manual data. By using the xmlUnit library and technical publication data standards (i.e., S1000D specification and ATASpec 2300 specification) to perform flight operation class file comparison, the three XML files of the flight operation class manual OEM previous version, OEM current version comparison and airline version are compared, and the Schema constraints are followed during the comparison. Each file is returned as a separate fragment, in which the diff tags are produced by the diffing base, and there are other conflict edits; the returned difference object XmlThreeWayDiffResult, the XML file is rendered through the flight operation class manual style file, and converted to html for page display using Transformer, thereby realizing the merging of element-level OEM changes and airline changes, and DM element and attribute changes include the addition, modification and deletion of DM elements and attributes.

[0051] During the manual publication process, the present invention distinguishes between airline and OEM changes. The change summary, effective chapter directory, and DM addition, deletion, and modification log file record the actual changes made by the airline manual. If the OEM changes are made but the OEM modifications are not followed, no record is kept. By processing the special files DML, 00U, and 00S of the flight operations manual, the DM addition, deletion, and modification log file, airline change summary, and effective chapter directory are automatically updated when the airline publishes the manual.

[0052] A second embodiment of the present invention discloses an airline manual generation system for civil aircraft flight operation manuals, including an airline receiving module, an airline editing module, a file comparison module and an airline publishing module.

[0053] The airline receiving module is used to receive the supplier-pushed manual and perform tree-structured processing, store the supplier-pushed manual, determine the version information of the supplier-pushed manual, and if the version information is the first edition manual, copy the supplier-pushed manual to generate an airline version data package; if the version information is a revised manual, store the revised manual, and identify the difference in content between the revised manual and the historical version manual. The historical version manual is the latest stored version of the supplier-pushed manual.

[0054] The airline editing module is used to determine the processing type of the airline manual content according to the recognition result of the difference content recognition, edit the content of the airline version data package according to the processing type, and determine the edited airline version data package as the content part of the airline manual.

[0055] The file comparison module is used to use the revised manual as the current version manual and the latest stored version of the supplier-pushed manual as the previous version manual, perform file comparison processing on the current version manual and the previous version manual, and perform file comparison processing on the current version manual and the airline version data package. The file comparison processing follows the Schema constraints, and the file comparison processing results are converted into HTML using Transformer for page display.

[0056] The airline publishing module is used to generate a change summary, an airline chapter directory and an addition, deletion and modification record of the airline manual based on the historical editing information of the content editing, and merge the content part, the change summary, the airline chapter directory and the addition, deletion and modification record to generate the airline manual.
