Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a method and system for managing costs for periodic surveys. Background Technology

[0002] Provincial and municipal government departments independently manage special survey funds, issuing periodic survey tasks to lower-level agencies on a monthly, bi-weekly, weekly, and daily basis, with the lowest level being the county. Lower-level agencies are responsible for assigning survey tasks to survey sites and personnel. Survey personnel obtain and complete product data from survey sites. Fund administrators pay survey personnel according to their workload, within a fixed special survey fund.

[0003] Different survey sites report different products, and the product categories can change with seasons, months, weather, etc.; the survey sites and the survey personnel associated with them also frequently change. Due to the uncertainty of survey sites and survey products, survey tasks created by higher-level organizations can only specify the scope of the survey organization and the survey products. After a survey task created by a higher-level organization is issued to a lower-level organization, the lower-level organization (city, county) is responsible for maintaining the survey sites, reported products, and current survey personnel.

[0004] Currently, there is no information system in government departments to manage funds at both levels. The expenses of investigators cannot be calculated online. The allocation of expenses by higher-level agencies is based on the workload of investigators reported by lower-level agencies. Higher-level agencies cannot verify the accuracy of the data reported by lower-level agencies and need to perform statistics manually, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive and prone to errors, but also makes it impossible to trace the history of expense calculations. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a method and system for managing expenses in periodic surveys, enabling online management of provincial and municipal funding for periodic surveys.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for cost management of periodic surveys, including:

[0007] Obtain survey tasks for periodic reporting;

[0008] Identify the survey sites to be used for completing the survey tasks;

[0009] The data submitted by the investigators associated with the survey sites within a preset time period are statistically analyzed to obtain the workload of the investigators.

[0010] The cost of this assessment is allocated based on the workload of the investigators, and the allocated cost corresponding to the workload is determined. The cost of this assessment is the cost allocated for the preset time period based on the preset funds, which are the costs pre-set in the preset year based on the administrative divisions at the corresponding level of the survey task.

[0011] In one possible implementation, if the survey task is a provincial task created by a provincial administrative division, then the step of statistically analyzing the data submitted by the survey personnel associated with the survey sites within a preset time period to obtain the workload of the survey personnel includes:

[0012] Exclude city-level dedicated outlets used to expand the provincial-level tasks from the survey outlets to obtain the target outlets;

[0013] The data submitted by the investigators associated with the target sites during the preset time period are statistically analyzed to obtain the workload of the investigators.

[0014] In one possible implementation, if the survey task is an extended task created by a municipal administrative division based on a provincial administrative division, then determining the survey sites used to fill in the survey task includes:

[0015] The extended task is treated as a city-level task created by the city-level administrative division.

[0016] Identify dedicated municipal-level service points for expanding the aforementioned provincial-level tasks;

[0017] The municipal-level dedicated service points will be used as survey points for filling out the extended tasks.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the allocation of the calculation fee based on the workload of the investigators, and the determination of the allocation fee corresponding to the workload, includes:

[0019] Based on the statistical workload, the number of times the survey personnel filled out the form, the percentage of times they filled out the form, the number of products they filled out, and the percentage of products they filled out.

[0020] The cost of this measurement is allocated using a preset cost-per-use rule to determine the allocated cost corresponding to the number of times reported by the survey personnel.

[0021] The cost of this measurement is allocated using a preset cost measurement rule based on the percentage of times reported by the surveyor, and the allocated cost is determined to correspond to the percentage of times reported by the surveyor.

[0022] The cost of this measurement is allocated using a preset product quantity cost measurement rule to determine the allocated cost corresponding to the product quantity reported by the investigators.

[0023] The cost of this measurement is allocated using a preset product quantity percentage cost measurement rule to determine the allocated cost corresponding to the product quantity percentage reported by the investigators.

[0024] The cost distribution under preset indicators, including preset cost measurement rules based on the number of times, preset cost measurement rules based on the percentage of times, preset cost measurement rules based on the number of products, and preset cost measurement rules based on the percentage of the number of products, is evaluated to determine the standard cost measurement rule; and the allocated cost for the investigators under the standard cost measurement rule is determined.

[0025] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a cost management system for periodic surveys, comprising:

[0026] The task management module is used to obtain survey tasks for periodic reporting and to determine the survey sites used to complete the survey tasks.

[0027] The workload statistics module is used to statistically analyze the data entered by the survey personnel associated with the survey sites within a preset time period to obtain the workload of the survey personnel.

[0028] The payment module is used to allocate the calculated cost based on the workload of the investigators and determine the allocated cost corresponding to the workload. The calculated cost is the cost allocated for the preset time period based on the preset funds, which are the costs pre-set in a preset year based on the administrative divisions at the corresponding level of the investigation task.

[0029] In one possible implementation, if the survey task is a provincial task created by a provincial administrative division, the workload statistics module is used for:

[0030] Exclude city-level dedicated outlets used to expand the provincial-level tasks from the survey outlets to obtain the target outlets;

[0031] The data submitted by the investigators associated with the target sites during the preset time period are statistically analyzed to obtain the workload of the investigators.

[0032] In one possible implementation, if the survey task is an extension task created by a municipal administrative division based on a provincial administrative division, then the task management module is used to:

[0033] The extended task is treated as a city-level task created by the city-level administrative division.

[0034] Identify dedicated municipal-level service points for expanding the aforementioned provincial-level tasks;

[0035] The municipal-level dedicated service points will be used as survey points for filling out the extended tasks.

[0036] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, including:

[0037] Memory, used to store computer programs;

[0038] When a processor executes a computer program stored in the memory, it implements the steps of the method described in any of the preceding descriptions.

[0039] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that causes a computer to perform the steps of the method described in any of the above descriptions.

[0040] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer program product, the computer program product comprising: computer program code, which, when run on a computer, causes the computer to perform the methods described in any of the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0041] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of this application are as follows:

[0042] This application provides a method and system for managing costs in periodic surveys. First, a survey task for periodic reporting is obtained; for example, this survey task can be a task created for a provincial-level administrative division or a task created for a municipal-level administrative division. Then, survey sites for reporting the survey task are determined. Next, the data submitted by survey personnel associated with the survey sites within a preset time period is statistically analyzed to obtain the workload of the survey personnel; for example, the preset time period can be the period corresponding to the first quarter of a specified year. Then, the calculated cost is allocated based on the statistically obtained workload to determine the allocated cost corresponding to the workload; wherein, the calculated cost is the cost allocated for the preset time period based on preset funds; the preset funds are the costs pre-set in a preset year based on the administrative division at the corresponding level of the survey task.

[0043] Taking a survey task created for a municipal-level administrative division as an example, the preset funding is the municipal-level funding set for that municipal-level administrative division in a specified year. The calculated cost is based on the municipal-level funding set for the first quarter. In practical application, for each survey site used to complete the municipal-level task, the workload of survey personnel associated with that site in the first quarter can be calculated, and the funding set for the first quarter by the municipal-level administrative division can be allocated, thus achieving online management of municipal-level funding in periodic surveys. Similarly, when a survey task is created for a provincial-level administrative division, online management of the corresponding provincial-level funding can also be achieved. In this way, the workload of survey personnel associated with each survey site used to complete periodic surveys is automatically calculated, while also achieving specialized management of both provincial and municipal-level funding.

[0053] The acquisition, transmission, storage, and use of data in this application all comply with the requirements of relevant national laws and regulations.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a method for managing expenses for periodic surveys is provided, applied to an expense management system. The method includes:

[0055] S101: Obtain a survey task for periodic reporting;

[0056] In practical implementation, the expense management method provided in this application embodiment can be used for periodic surveys such as monthly, ten-day, weekly, and daily surveys. First, it can obtain survey tasks created by the expense administrator. For example, the survey task can be created for a provincial-level administrative division or a municipal-level administrative division; this is not limited here. Furthermore, there can be one, two, or multiple survey tasks, which can be set according to actual application needs.

[0057] S102: Determine the survey sites to be used for completing the survey task;

[0058] In the specific implementation process, after obtaining the survey tasks for periodic reporting, the survey sites used to complete these tasks can be determined. In practice, the survey sites used to complete these tasks can be the range of survey sites specified by the fund administrator through the fund management system. For example, if the survey task is a task created by a provincial-level administrative division (which can be denoted as a provincial task), the survey sites used to complete this provincial task can be survey sites created by the provincial-level administrative division, or survey sites created by the municipal-level administrative division, or survey sites created by the county-level administrative division. That is to say, the survey sites used to complete provincial tasks can be survey sites created by the same level of administrative division (i.e., the province) or survey sites created by lower-level (e.g., municipal or county-level) administrative divisions. In practice, the fund administrator can distribute the survey tasks to the survey sites of the corresponding administrative divisions through the fund management system.

[0059] For example, if a survey task is created by a municipal-level administrative division (which can be denoted as a municipal-level task), the survey sites used to fill in the information for this municipal-level task can be survey sites created by the municipal-level administrative division or survey sites created by the county-level administrative division. In other words, the survey sites used to fill in the information for a municipal-level task can be survey sites created by the same level of administrative division (i.e., the municipal level) or survey sites created by a lower-level (e.g., the county level) administrative division. In practical applications, the budget administrator can distribute the survey task to the survey sites of the corresponding administrative division through the budget management system.

[0060] S103: Statistically analyze the data submitted by the investigators associated with the survey sites within a preset time period to obtain the workload of the investigators;

[0061] In the specific implementation process, after determining the survey sites used to complete the survey task, the data submitted by the survey personnel associated with those sites within a preset time period can be statistically analyzed to obtain the workload of the survey personnel. For example, the preset time period can be a period pre-set by the budget administrator through the expense management system, such as January. Of course, the specific value of the preset time period can be set according to actual application needs and is not limited here. For a specific example, the preset time period is the first quarter, the survey task is R, the survey sites used to complete the survey task are A and B, the survey personnel associated with survey site A are a1 and a2, and the survey personnel associated with survey site B are b1, b2, and b3; for survey task R, it is necessary to statistically analyze the data submitted by survey personnel a1 and a2, as well as survey personnel b1, b2, and b3 in the first quarter to determine the workload of the relevant survey personnel in completing survey task R.

[0062] It should be noted that the fund administrator can use the fund management system to set up the survey forms for the survey tasks according to the actual application needs; in this way, the investigators can fill in the corresponding survey forms based on the survey tasks, thus ensuring the data reported by the investigators.

[0063] S104: Allocate the calculated cost based on the workload of the investigators, and determine the allocated cost corresponding to the workload; the calculated cost is the cost allocated for the preset time period based on the preset funding, and the preset funding is the cost pre-set in the preset year based on the administrative division of the corresponding level of the investigation task.

[0064] In the specific implementation process, after statistically analyzing the data submitted by investigators associated with the survey sites within a preset time period to obtain their workload, the calculated costs can be allocated based on the statistically analyzed workload, thereby determining the allocated costs corresponding to the statistically analyzed workload. The calculated costs are based on preset funding allocated to a preset time period; given a fixed preset time period and preset funding, the calculated costs are a fixed amount. Preset funding is the cost set for the corresponding administrative division level of the survey task within a preset year, and this cost is usually a fixed amount. In practical applications, the preset year and preset funding can be fixed values ​​pre-set by the funding administrator through the cost management system. For example, for provincial-level tasks, the preset funding can be provincial-level funding; for municipal-level tasks, the preset funding can be municipal-level funding. In this way, whether it is a provincial or municipal task, the calculated cost can be allocated online based on the workload of the survey personnel associated with the survey sites that submitted the task, provided that the cost is a fixed amount. This ensures the special management of the pre-set funds for the corresponding level of administrative divisions. Moreover, it changes the previous work mode of lower-level reporting workload and higher-level review. It can automatically calculate the workload of the survey personnel, reduce manpower and time costs, and improve the accuracy of the calculation.

[0065] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, survey sites can be managed hierarchically. Provincial, municipal, and county-level administrative divisions can all establish general survey sites for handling provincial tasks. Municipal and county-level administrative divisions can both establish survey sites for handling municipal tasks. Municipal-level administrative divisions can also establish dedicated survey sites (which can be referred to as municipal-level dedicated sites) for extending provincial tasks. Provincial tasks can be reported through these dedicated survey sites, but only municipal-level funds are recorded. Furthermore, the fund administrator can use the expense management system to set the management year for expenses used in periodic surveys, and to manage the provincial and municipal funds for the current management year.

[0066] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, if the survey task is a provincial task created by a provincial administrative division, then step S103: statistically analyze the data entered by the survey personnel associated with the survey sites within a preset time period to obtain the workload of the survey personnel, including:

[0067] S201: Exclude city-level dedicated outlets used to expand the provincial-level tasks from the survey outlets to obtain the target outlets;

[0068] S202: Statistically analyze the data submitted by the investigators associated with the target site during the preset time period to obtain the workload of the investigators.

[0069] In the specific implementation process, steps S201 to S202 are implemented as follows:

[0070] If the survey task is a provincial-level task created by a provincial-level administrative division, then from the designated survey sites used to fill in the provincial-level task, city-level dedicated survey sites used to expand the provincial-level task are excluded, thus obtaining the target survey sites. For example, a provincial-level administrative division issues the created provincial-level task to a city-level administrative division. After receiving the provincial-level task, the city-level administrative division expands the task based on its interested featured products and important locations, and the city-level dedicated survey sites fill in the expanded task. In practical application, excluding city-level dedicated survey sites used to expand the provincial-level task from the survey sites used to fill in the provincial-level task ensures accurate allocation of provincial funds. After obtaining the target survey sites, the data filled in by the survey personnel associated with the target survey sites within a preset time period is statistically analyzed to obtain the workload of the corresponding survey personnel. In this way, the workload of survey personnel associated with city-level dedicated survey sites is excluded during the allocation of provincial funds, improving the efficiency of provincial fund allocation.

[0071] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, if the survey task is an extended task created by the municipal administrative division based on the provincial administrative division, then step S102: determining the survey sites used to fill in the survey task includes:

[0072] S301: Treat the extended task as a city-level task created by the city-level administrative division;

[0073] S302: Identify dedicated municipal-level service points for expanding the provincial-level tasks;

[0074] S303: The municipal-level dedicated outlets will be used as survey outlets for filling out the extended tasks.

[0075] In the specific implementation process, steps S301 to S303 are implemented as follows:

[0076] If the survey task is an extension of a provincial task created by a municipal administrative division based on a provincial administrative division, then the extension task is treated as a municipal task created by the municipal administrative division; that is, an extension task created by a municipal administrative division based on a provincial task is considered a municipal task. Then, a dedicated municipal survey site is identified for extending this provincial task; this dedicated municipal survey site is used as the survey site for completing the extended task. Subsequently, the data submitted by the survey personnel associated with this dedicated municipal survey site can be statistically analyzed to determine the workload of the corresponding survey personnel. This ensures the accuracy of subsequent municipal funding allocation.

[0077] It should be noted that if the survey task is a task created by a municipal administrative division (i.e., a municipal task), after determining the survey sites used to fill in the municipal task, the data filled in by the survey personnel associated with the survey sites can be directly statistically analyzed to determine the data filled in by the associated survey personnel, thus providing a guarantee for the special management of municipal funds in the future.

[0078] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S104: Allocate the calculation fee according to the workload of the investigators, and determine the allocation fee corresponding to the workload, including:

[0079] S401: Based on the statistical workload, obtain the number of times the survey personnel filled out the form, the percentage of times, the number of products, and the percentage of the number of products.

[0080] S402: Using a preset cost-based rule for each number of times, allocate the cost of this measurement to determine the allocated cost corresponding to the number of times reported by the investigators;

[0081] S403: Using a preset cost measurement rule based on the percentage of times, allocate the cost of this measurement to determine the allocated cost corresponding to the percentage of times reported by the surveyor;

[0082] S404: Using a preset product quantity cost measurement rule, allocate the cost of this measurement to determine the allocated cost corresponding to the product quantity reported by the investigator;

[0083] S405: Using a preset product quantity percentage cost measurement rule, allocate the cost of this measurement to determine the allocated cost corresponding to the product quantity percentage reported by the investigator;

[0084] S406: Evaluate the cost distribution under the preset cost measurement rules based on preset frequency, preset cost measurement rules based on preset frequency percentage, preset cost measurement rules based on preset product quantity, and preset cost measurement rules based on preset product quantity percentage, and determine the standard cost measurement rules from these.

[0085] S407: Determine the allocated costs for the investigators under the standard cost measurement rules.

[0086] After obtaining the workload of the investigators, the following steps are taken: First, based on the statistical workload, the number of times investigators submitted reports, the percentage of times reported, the number of products submitted, and the percentage of products submitted. The percentage of times reported is the ratio of the number of times a single investigator submitted reports to the total number of times all investigators submitted reports; the percentage of products submitted is the ratio of the number of products submitted by a single investigator to the total number of products submitted by all investigators. Then, based on the number of times investigators submitted reports, the percentage of times reported, the number of products submitted, and the percentage of products submitted, the corresponding preset cost measurement rules are used to allocate the costs for this calculation, thus determining the appropriate allocated costs. In other words, different cost measurement rules can be used to allocate the costs for this calculation. This ensures the flexibility of cost allocation.

[0087] In one exemplary embodiment, after obtaining the number of times, the percentage of times, the number of products, and the percentage of the number of products reported by the investigators based on the statistical workload, the cost of this calculation can be allocated using a preset frequency cost measurement rule, thereby determining the allocated cost corresponding to the number of times reported by the investigators under this measurement rule; the cost of this calculation can be allocated using a preset frequency percentage cost measurement rule, thereby determining the allocated cost corresponding to the percentage of times reported by the investigators under this measurement rule; the cost of this calculation can be allocated using a preset product quantity cost measurement rule, thereby determining the allocated cost corresponding to the number of products reported by the investigators under this measurement rule; and the cost of this calculation can be allocated using a preset product quantity percentage cost measurement rule, thereby determining the allocated cost corresponding to the percentage of the number of products reported by the investigators under this measurement rule. In this way, the cost distribution of all investigators under each measurement rule can be determined. Then, the cost distribution under the preset cost rules based on preset frequency, preset cost percentage, preset product quantity, and preset product quantity percentage can be evaluated according to preset indicators to determine the standard cost measurement rule. In practical applications, the standard cost measurement rule for subsequent cost allocation can be automatically selected from multiple preset cost measurement rules based on preset indicators. Alternatively, the cost administrator can manually select a cost measurement rule as the standard cost measurement rule from multiple preset cost measurement rules in the cost management system according to actual application needs, and then carry out subsequent cost allocation.

[0088] It should be noted that the preset indicators can be manually selected by the fund administrator from a variety of pre-set indicators in the cost management system according to actual application needs. For example, the rationality of cost distribution under various preset cost measurement rules can be evaluated based on central tendency, dispersion, and distribution shape. Examples of preset indicators include mode, median, mean, geometric mean, harmonic mean, interquartile range, range, mean deviation, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, skewness coefficient, and kurtosis coefficient. In the specific implementation process, the relevant cost measurement rules can be evaluated based on the indicators selected by the fund administrator. This allows for the determination of a standard cost measurement rule from multiple rules, thereby obtaining the allocated costs for investigators under the standard cost measurement rule. In this way, while allocating the calculated costs according to the investigators' workload, the cost distribution under various cost measurement rules can be evaluated, supporting the fund administrator in selecting the most reasonable measurement rule, thus ensuring the accuracy of cost allocation for investigators. Furthermore, it achieves traceability of investigation tasks, workload calculations, and cost measurement rules, providing a guarantee for the fairness and impartiality of subsequent cost allocation.

[0089] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, after determining the allocated fees for investigators under the standard fee measurement rules, the corresponding investigation fees can be paid to the bank accounts associated with the investigators, and the relevant transfer information can be recorded.

[0090] Based on the same inventive concept, such as Figure 5 As shown in the embodiments of this application, a cost management system for periodic surveys is also provided, the cost management system comprising:

[0091] Task management module 10 is used to obtain survey tasks for periodic reporting and to determine the survey sites used for reporting the survey tasks.

[0092] The workload statistics module 20 is used to statistically analyze the data filled in by the survey personnel associated with the survey site within a preset time period to obtain the workload of the survey personnel.

[0093] The fee payment module 30 is used to allocate the calculated fee based on the workload of the investigators and determine the allocated fee corresponding to the workload. The calculated fee is the fee allocated for the preset time period based on the preset funds. The preset funds are the fees pre-set in the preset year based on the administrative divisions at the corresponding level of the investigation task.

[0094] In this embodiment of the application, if the survey task is a provincial task created by a provincial administrative division, the workload statistics module 20 is used for:

[0095] Exclude city-level dedicated outlets used to expand the provincial-level tasks from the survey outlets to obtain the target outlets;

[0096] The data submitted by the investigators associated with the target sites during the preset time period are statistically analyzed to obtain the workload of the investigators.

[0097] In this embodiment of the application, if the survey task is an extended task created by a municipal administrative division based on a provincial administrative division, then the task management module 10 is used to:

[0098] The extended task is treated as a city-level task created by the city-level administrative division.

[0099] Identify dedicated municipal-level service points for expanding the aforementioned provincial-level tasks;

[0100] The municipal-level dedicated service points will be used as survey points for filling out the extended tasks.

[0101] In this embodiment of the application, the system further includes a cost management module 40, which is used for:

[0102] The management year for the periodic survey expenses is set, as well as the amount of the pre-set provincial and municipal funds for the periodic surveys under the current management year.

[0103] In this embodiment of the application, the fee payment module 30 is used for:

[0104] Based on the statistical workload, the number of times the survey personnel filled out the form, the percentage of times they filled out the form, the number of products they filled out, and the percentage of products they filled out.

[0105] The cost of this measurement is allocated using a preset cost-per-use rule to determine the allocated cost corresponding to the number of times reported by the survey personnel.

[0106] The cost of this measurement is allocated using a preset cost measurement rule based on the percentage of times reported by the surveyor, and the allocated cost is determined to correspond to the percentage of times reported by the surveyor.

[0107] The cost of this measurement is allocated using a preset product quantity cost measurement rule to determine the allocated cost corresponding to the product quantity reported by the investigators.

[0108] The cost of this measurement is allocated using a preset product quantity percentage cost measurement rule to determine the allocated cost corresponding to the product quantity percentage reported by the investigators.

[0109] The cost distribution under preset indicators, including preset cost measurement rules based on the number of times, preset cost measurement rules based on the percentage of times, preset cost measurement rules based on the number of products, and preset cost measurement rules based on the percentage of the number of products, is evaluated to determine the standard cost measurement rule; and the allocated cost for the investigators under the standard cost measurement rule is determined.

[0110] In this embodiment of the application, the system further includes a basic information maintenance module 50, which is used for:

[0111] Maintain basic information for periodic surveys of provincial, municipal, and county-level administrative divisions; the basic information includes survey outlets, survey personnel, survey personnel's bank accounts, survey products, and survey forms; wherein the survey outlets, survey personnel, and survey personnel's bank accounts are linked together.

[0112] Once the allocation fee corresponding to the statistical workload is determined, the allocation fee can be paid into the bank account associated with the investigator.

[0113] It should be noted that if a survey location changes, the associated investigators and their bank account information must be updated accordingly; similarly, if an investigator changes, their new bank account information must be maintained. This ensures the accuracy of fee allocation. Furthermore, in addition to paying survey fees to investigators' bank accounts, the fee payment module 30 can also record corresponding transfer records.

[0114] The following describes the expense management system provided in this application embodiment with reference to specific embodiments. Specifically, the expense management system includes an expense management module 40, a basic information maintenance module 60, a task management module 10, a workload statistics module 20, an expense payment module 30, and a basic information maintenance module 50; wherein:

[0115] The expense management module 40 is used to manage survey expenses on an annual basis. It can determine the amount of expenses for periodic surveys at the provincial level (referred to as provincial funds) and the amount of expenses for periodic surveys at the municipal level (referred to as municipal funds) on an annual basis.

[0116] The Basic Information Maintenance Module 50 is used to maintain basic information for periodic surveys, including provincial, municipal, and county-level survey sites, survey personnel, survey personnel bank accounts, survey products, and survey forms. The survey sites, survey personnel, and survey personnel bank accounts are linked together. Survey sites can be managed hierarchically; general sites for reporting provincial tasks can be set up at the provincial, municipal, and county levels, while dedicated survey sites can be set up at the municipal level. These dedicated sites can be used to report provincial tasks, but only those reported will be included in provincial funding. If a survey site changes, the associated survey personnel and their bank account information must also be updated; if a survey personnel changes, the bank account information of the new personnel must be maintained.

[0117] The task management module 10 is used to manage survey tasks, allowing superiors to distribute reporting tasks to lower-level survey sites for completion; it supports setting survey form templates and survey site scope; and it periodically generates survey tasks according to task categories and issues them to survey personnel for completion; the provincial, municipal, and county levels also need to review and archive the survey data; in addition, when filling in provincial tasks, tasks filled in by government staff and municipal-level special tasks can be excluded.

[0118] The workload statistics module 20 is used to calculate the workload of each person filling out the form for provincial-level tasks and the workload of each person filling out the form for municipal-level tasks.

[0119] For provincial-level expenses, it is necessary to calculate the workload of each person filling out the provincial-level task. For data filled out by government staff on behalf of others, and for data on special locations and special products for municipal-level extensions of provincial-level tasks, the workload and expenses will not be counted in the provincial-level funding.

[0120] For city-level expenses, it is necessary to compile statistics on the periodic reporting tasks created at the city level, as well as the workload corresponding to the city-specific locations and products in the provincial-level tasks; data filled out by government staff is not included in the workload or expenses.

[0121] It should be noted that the workload statistics module 20 supports statistics by time interval; multiple workload statistics tasks can be created within the same year; in practical applications, the time interval, task scope, survey network scope, and cost calculation can be set. Furthermore, the cost management system also supports statistics by time interval for the number of reports submitted by survey personnel, the percentage of such reports, the number of products submitted, and the percentage of products submitted.

[0122] The fee payment module 30 includes three parts: fee measurement rules, fee rule evaluation, and fee payment.

[0123] In the specific implementation process, four types of preset cost measurement rules can be adopted, including cost measurement rules based on the proportion of the number of times investigators fill out forms, cost measurement rules based on the proportion of the number of products filled out by investigators, cost measurement rules based on the number of times investigators submit reports, and cost measurement rules based on the number of products filled out by investigators. For cost rule evaluation, it supports the evaluation of cost distribution for these four types of cost measurement rules: proportion of the number of forms, proportion of the number of products, number of reports, and number of products. The rationality of the cost distribution can be evaluated from the perspectives of central tendency, dispersion, and distribution shape. For example, the cost distribution under various cost measurement rules can be evaluated based on preset indicators such as mode, median, mean, geometric mean, harmonic mean, interquartile range, range, mean deviation, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, skewness coefficient, and kurtosis coefficient. The fund administrator selects the final allocation standard based on the evaluation results. In practical applications, the fund administrator can select the final allocation standard based on the evaluation results in the current year, and in the next year, the fund administrator can also select other allocation standards based on the current evaluation results; this is not limited here. In this way, the payment module 30 determines the allocation fee for the investigator based on the selected final allocation standard, and then pays the corresponding investigation fee to the bank account associated with the investigator and records the transfer history.

[0124] In this embodiment, the provided cost management system for periodic surveys enables the statistical analysis of workload across provincial and municipal levels for survey products, outlets, and rapidly changing business scenarios. It allows for the allocation of fixed costs based on surveyor workload, evaluation of various allocation rules, and selection of the most reasonable allocation rule by the cost administrator. This changes the previous work model of lower-level staff reporting workload and higher-level staff reviewing it. The system automatically calculates surveyor workload, reducing manpower and time costs and improving calculation accuracy. Simultaneously, it ensures traceability of survey tasks, workload calculations, and cost allocation rules, guaranteeing fairness and impartiality in cost allocation.

[0134] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of this application also provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that causes a computer to perform the steps of the cost management method for periodic surveys described above.

[0135] In some possible implementations, the various aspects of the cost management method for periodic surveys provided in this application can also be implemented in the form of a program product, which includes program code that, when the program product is run on a device, causes the control device to perform the steps in the cost management method for periodic surveys according to the various exemplary embodiments of this application described above.

[0136] This application provides a method and system for managing costs in periodic surveys. First, a survey task for periodic reporting is obtained; for example, this survey task can be a task created for a provincial-level administrative division or a task created for a municipal-level administrative division. Then, survey sites for reporting the survey task are determined. Next, the data submitted by survey personnel associated with the survey sites within a preset time period is statistically analyzed to obtain the workload of the survey personnel; for example, the preset time period can be the period corresponding to the first quarter of a specified year. Then, the calculated cost is allocated based on the statistically obtained workload to determine the allocated cost corresponding to the workload; wherein, the calculated cost is the cost allocated for the preset time period based on preset funds; the preset funds are the costs pre-set in a preset year based on the administrative division at the corresponding level of the survey task.

[0137] Taking a survey task created for a municipal-level administrative division as an example, the preset funding is the municipal-level funding set for that municipal-level administrative division in a specified year. The calculated cost is based on the municipal-level funding set for the first quarter. In practical application, for each survey site used to complete the municipal-level task, the workload of survey personnel associated with that site in the first quarter can be calculated, and the funding set for the first quarter by the municipal-level administrative division can be allocated, thus achieving online management of municipal-level funding in periodic surveys. Similarly, when a survey task is created for a provincial-level administrative division, online management of the corresponding provincial-level funding can also be achieved. In this way, the workload of survey personnel associated with each survey site used to complete periodic surveys is automatically calculated, while also achieving specialized management of both provincial and municipal-level funding.
