This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section is used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of the prior art.

[0003] Wireless communication technology has rapidly evolved over the past few decades, with each generation bringing significant improvements and advancements. The first generation of wireless communication technology was based on analog technology and offered only voice services. However, with the advent of the second-generation (2G) technology, digital communication and data services became possible, and text messaging was introduced. 3G technology marked the introduction of high-speed internet access, mobile video calling, and location-based services. The fourth-generation (4G) technology revolutionized wireless communication with faster data speeds, better network coverage, and improved security. Currently, the fifth-generation (5G) technology is being deployed, promising even faster data speeds, low latency, and the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. With each generation, wireless communication technology has become more advanced, sophisticated, and capable of delivering more services to its users.

[0004] Generally, a fulfilment management services in network nodes encompass the coordination and optimization of tasks within a network environment. These fulfilment management services aim to streamline and automate the workflow process by ensuring efficient resource allocation, task scheduling, and intelligent routing.

More specifically, the processor is a hardware processor.

[0043] As portable electronic devices and wireless technologies continue to improve and grow in popularity, the advancing wireless technologies for data transfer are also expected to evolve and replace the older generations of technologies. In the field of wireless data communications, thedynamic advancement of various generations of cellular technology are also seen. The development, in this respect, has been incremental in the order of second generation (2G), third generation (3G), fourth generation (4G), and now fifth generation (5G), and more such generations are expected to continue in the forthcoming time.

[0044] Radio Access Technology (RAT) refers to the technology used by mobile devices / user equipment (UE) to connect to a cellular network. It refers to the specific protocol and standards that govern the way devices communicate with base stations, which are responsible for providing the wireless connection. Further, each RAT has its own set of protocols and standards for communication, which define the frequency bands, modulation techniques, and other parameters used for transmitting and receiving data. Examples of RATs include GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), LTE (Long-Term Evolution), and 5G. The choice of RAT depends on a variety of factors, including the network infrastructure, the available spectrum, and the mobile device's / device's capabilities. Mobile devices often support multiple RATs, allowing them to connect to different types of networks and provide optimal performance based on the available network resources.

[0045] A Fulfilment management system supports translation of any kind of incoming request from a northbound interface to plurality of outgoing predefined sequence of calls from application program interface (API) to southbound API. The fulfilment management system can take a single request containing superset of all attributes (of all the southbound APIs) and then execute the sequence of southbound API calls (workflow) and provides final response after completion of APIs. Fulfilment management system processes which are configured to run any process supports sequential, parallel, conditional and loop workflow pattern.

[0046] The fulfilment management system (FMS) is a robust and flexible solution for managing complex inter-system communications, translating requests into actionable tasks, and ensuring efficient execution of these tasks based on predefined workflows. The FMS orchestrates and manages requests and responses between different systems or interfaces. The key functions performed by the FMS may include:

[0047] Translation of Requests: The FMS accepts any incoming request from a northbound interface. This request can then be translated into multiple outgoing API calls to one or more southbound interfaces.

[0048] Superset of Attributes: The system can manage a single request that contains a superset of all attributes of all the southbound APIs. This enables it to understand and manage complex requests that might cover multiple aspects of the system's functions.

[0049] Sequential Execution of API Calls: After translating the incoming request, the FMS can execute a sequence of API calls to the southbound interfaces. The sequence and number of these calls (n) can vary based on the requirements of the incoming request.

[0050] Response Generation: The FMS provides milestone or final responses after the completion of the individual or all API calls. This ensures the northbound interface is kept informed of the progress and outcomes of its requests.

[0051] Workflow Pattern Support: The FMS is designed to support various workflow patterns. This includes sequential execution (one step after another), parallel execution (multiple steps at the same time), conditional execution (based on certain conditions), and loop execution (repeated steps). The choice of pattern depends on the specific needs of the process or request being managed.

[0052] An application programming interface (API) is a set of protocols, rules, and tools that specifies how software components should interact and communicate with each other. The APIs are used in all kinds of digital environments such as Web APIs, for example, HTTP APIs or REST APIs; Operating System APIs define how different software applications interact with the operating system. For example, if a software program needs to display a window on your screen, it uses an API provided by the operating system to do so. For example, if an application needs to retrieve some data from a database, it uses a database API to send a query to the database and receive the results. In the context of the Fulfilment Management System, APIs would be used to send requests between different systems or interfaces (northbound and southbound interfaces), allowing them to communicate and share data.

[0053] As discussed in the background section, Traditional FMS workflows are often static and predefined, making them inflexible to changes in the network environment or businessrequirements. Designing workflows typically requires manual effort from developers or engineers to define the sequence of APIs, their parameters, and the associated logic. This process is time- consuming and prone to human error. Integrating new APIs or changing existing ones in a workflow can be challenging in traditional systems due to the static nature of the workflows. In conventional systems, retrieving relevant data metrics for different network nodes can be cumbersome and may require separate queries or manual data extraction. Managing the states of a workflow, such as request schema, attributes, endpoints, and mappings, can be complex and error-prone in traditional systems.

[0054] To overcome these and other inherent problems in the art, the present disclosure proposes a solution of a method and system for dynamic workflow creation in a fulfilment management system (FMS) that leverages a combination of triggers, such as images or flowcharts, and a trained model to automate and adapt workflows based on the needs of different network nodes. This approach addresses the rigidity of traditional workflows by allowing for dynamic adjustments to the workflow as the inputs change, thereby enhancing the system's flexibility and responsiveness to varying requirements. Furthermore, the proposed solution automates the process of designing workflows by extracting the sequence of APIs from the provided triggers and generating the workflow dynamically using the trained model. This reduces the reliance on manual efforts, thereby decreasing the likelihood of errors and increasing efficiency. The automation extends to the integration and modification of APIs, as updates to the trigger automatically result in corresponding changes in the generated dynamic workflow, simplifying the process of incorporating new APIs or altering existing ones. In addition, the solution streamlines the retrieval of relevant data metrics for different network nodes by automatically fetching this information based on the generated dynamic workflow. This eliminates the need for separate queries or manual data extraction, leading to a more efficient approach to data management. Finally, the proposed method and system facilitate the automatic creation and association of states within the workflow, such as request schema, attributes, endpoints, and mappings. This enhances the accuracy and reliability of the workflow management process, addressing the complexity and error-proneness associated with state management in traditional systems.

[0072] FIG. 1B illustrates an exemplary block diagram of a system

[0101] for dynamic workflow creation in a fulfilment management system (FMS), in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG.1B, the system

[0101] includes a receiving unit

[0103] , an extraction unit

[0105] , a workflow generation unit

[0107] , and a retrieving unit

[0109] , wherein all the components are assumed to be connected to each other in a manner as obvious to the person skilled in the art for implementing features of the present disclosure. Also, in FIG.1 only a few units are shown, however, the system

[0101] may comprise multiple such units or the system

[0101] may comprise any such numbers of said units, as required to implement the features of the present disclosure.

[0073] The system

[0101] for dynamic workflow creation in a fulfilment management system (FMS) is shown in FIG.1B. The dynamic workflow refers to a flexible and adaptable sequence oftasks or processes that can be automatically generated and modified in response to specific inputs or conditions. Unlike static workflows, which are predefined and unchangeable, dynamic workflows adjust and optimize based on real-time data, user inputs, or changing requirements. For example, in a fulfilment management system, a user might upload a flowchart depicting a series of steps for processing an order. The system analyses this input and dynamically generates a workflow that includes tasks such as inventory check, payment processing, packaging, and shipping. Also, API signatures change based on data metric information retrieved. For instance, if the earlier network node is busy (obtained from data metrics), then another instance of that network node is selected, resulting in changes in API signatures. This adaptability ensures that the workflow can reroute tasks to available nodes, maintaining efficiency and continuity. This dynamic effect allows the workflow to remain efficient and relevant to the current context, enhancing productivity and accuracy.

[0074] The system

[0101] comprises the receiving unit

[0103] . The receiving unit

[0103] is configured to receive a trigger, wherein the trigger corresponds to at least one of an image or a flow chart or a voice or a video representing a sequence of application programming interfaces (APIs). The trigger facilitates in initiating the dynamic workflow creation process within the system. The trigger can be an image, such as a diagram or photograph, or a flow chart that visually depicts the sequence of APIs involved in a particular workflow. The ability of the receiving unit

[0103] to accept triggers in these formats allows for a more intuitive and user-friendly way for users to input the desired sequence of APIs. Once the trigger is received, it is passed on to other components of the system for further processing, including the extraction of the API sequence, generation of the dynamic workflow, and retrieval of data metrics based on the generated workflow. This process facilitates the automation and customization of workflows in the fulfilment management system (FMS), addressing the limitations of traditional static workflows.

[0075] The system

[0101] comprises the extraction unit

[0105] communicatively coupled to the receiving unit

[0103] . The extraction unit

[0105] is configured to extract the sequence of APIs that corresponds to one or more network nodes based on the received trigger. Once the receiving unit

[0103] receives the trigger, which could be in the form of an image, a flow chart, a voice command, or a video representing a sequence of APIs, this information is forwarded to the extraction unit

[0105] .

[0076] The extraction unit

[0105] then processes the trigger to identify and extract the specific sequence of APIs depicted in the trigger. The extraction involves using image processing or video processing techniques to identify the one or more network nodes and requests within the trigger input. For example, if a user uploads a flowchart, the extraction unit

[0105] analyses the visual elements of the flowchart to identify nodes such as inventory, PCF

[0122] , and UDM

[0124] , as well as specific requests like "Find free number." Examples of the one or more network nodes includes, but not limited only to PCF

[0122] , SMF 108, UDM

[0124] , and other network nodes of the network architecture as disclosed in FIG.1A.

[0077] The extraction unit

[0105] processes the trigger to map the identified one or more nodes and requests to the sequence API calls. The sequence of API calls is then sequenced to create a dynamic workflow. For instance, in a flowchart illustrating network operations, the extraction unit

[0105] would recognize each visual element representing a node or a request, extract the corresponding API calls, and determine their sequence. For voice commands, NLP techniques transcribe the spoken words into text and analyse the text to identify the sequence of API calls and corresponding network nodes. Video inputs are processed by breaking down the video into frames and analysing each frame to identify key elements that represent API calls and their sequence.

[0078] The sequence defines the order and nature of the APIs that need to be executed for a particular process or task within the fulfilment management system (FMS). The extraction process facilitates in automating and customizing workflows in the FMS, allowing for greater flexibility and efficiency in workflow management. For example, a user uploads a video demonstrating a workflow with various API interactions between network nodes. The extraction unit

[0105] employs advanced video processing algorithms to analyse the video content, identifying frames that represent distinct API calls and the associated nodes. By recognizing patterns and sequences within the video, the extraction unit

[0105] determines the order and parameters of the API calls. The extracted sequence is then used to create a dynamic workflow, ensuring that the correct API calls are made to the appropriate network nodes in the specified order.

[0079] The system

[0101] comprises the workflow generation unit

[0107] communicatively coupled to the extraction unit

[0105] . The workflow generation unit

[0107] is configured to generate, using one or more trained models, a dynamic workflow based on the extracted sequence of APIs. Once the extraction unit

[0105] has identified and extracted the sequence of APIs from the receivedtrigger, this sequence is passed on to the workflow generation unit

[0107] . Here, a trained model is employed to transform the extracted sequence of APIs into a dynamic workflow.

[0080] The one or more trained models comprise at least one of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for image processing, a Transformer-based model such as BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) for Natural Language Processing (NLP), and a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) for video processing. The CNN is trained on a dataset of flowchart images annotated with corresponding API calls and network nodes, enabling it to identify nodes such as inventory, PCF, and UDM within new flowchart images. The Transformer-based model is trained on a dataset of voice commands and textual descriptions of workflows paired with correct API sequences, allowing it to transcribe and interpret spoken instructions to extract relevant API calls and their sequence. The RNN model is trained on videos demonstrating various workflows, with each frame annotated with corresponding API interactions, enabling it to analyse the sequence of frames to identify key elements and the order of API calls for generating a dynamic workflow from video inputs. The trained model is trained on a dataset comprising various interfaces and corresponding API signatures, incorporating techniques from Natural Language Processing, for example, Vector DB, retrieval augmented generation (RAG).

[0081] The signatures correspond to information relates to the API, including details such as API credentials, parameters, attributes, request schema, response schema, terms of use, error messages, endpoints, and data models. Each network node is associated with different API documentation or signatures. Consequently, the model is trained on the comprehensive information to accurately understand and generate the necessary API sequences for various network nodes. For example, an API for accessing user data might have documentation specifying the required authentication credentials, input parameters like user ID, attributes such as username and email, the format of the request and response, usage terms, error messages, and the endpoint URL. Each network node is associated with different API documentation or signatures. Consequently, the model is trained on this comprehensive information to accurately understand and generate the necessary API sequences for various network nodes. For instance, a network node handling inventory management will have distinct API signatures detailing how to query, update, and manage inventory data, while another node for user authentication will have APIs focused on login, token generation, and session management.

[0082] The dynamic workflow generated by the workflow generation unit

[0107] is configured for specific sequence of APIs and is configured to be adaptable, allowing for changes in the workflow as the requirements of the FMS evolve. The ability to generate dynamic workflows based on different sequences of APIs is a key feature of the system, providing flexibility and efficiency in workflow management that addresses the limitations of traditional static workflows.

[0083] The system

[0101] comprises the retrieving unit

[0109] communicatively coupled to the workflow generation unit

[0107] . The retrieving unit

[0109] is configured to retrieve one or more data metrics from a storage unit based on the generated dynamic workflow, where the one or more data metrics are associated with the one or more network nodes. After the workflow generation unit

[0107] has created the dynamic workflow using the extracted sequence of APIs, the retrieving unit

[0109] fetches relevant data metrics that are necessary for the execution of the workflow. The data metrics could include information such as network performance, resource availability, or other node-specific parameters for the proper functioning of the workflow. The storage unit, from which the data metrics are retrieved, serves as a repository for all such data, ensuring that the retrieving unit

[0109] has access to the most up-to-date information. By associating these data metrics with the respective network nodes involved in the workflow, the system

[0101] ensures that each node can operate optimally, based on its current state and available resources. The capability of retrieving relevant data metrics dynamically based on the workflow requirements enhances the efficiency and adaptability of the FMS, addressing some of the key challenges in traditional workflow management systems.

[0084] Referring to FIG. 2 an exemplary method flow diagram

[0200] , for dynamic workflow creation in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention is shown. In an implementation the method

[0200] is performed by the system

[0101] . As shown in Figure 2, the method

[0200] starts at step

[0202] .

[0085] At

[0204] , the method flow

[0200] as disclosed by the present disclosure comprises receiving, by a receiving unit

[0103] , a trigger, wherein the trigger corresponds to any or a combination of an image or a flow chart representing a sequence of application programming interfaces (APIs). The trigger is received as an uploaded image or flow chart created on a page or a whiteboard by the user. In a preferred implementation, the trigger may be received at a user device, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. For instance, a user may create the flow chart on a sheet of paper and uploadon the user device. Furthermore, the method comprises performing, by the receiving unit

[0103] , image processing to the received trigger.

[0086] The trigger facilitates in initiating the dynamic workflow creation process within the system. The trigger can be an image, such as a diagram or photograph, or a flow chart that visually depicts the sequence of APIs involved in a particular workflow. The ability of the receiving unit

[0103] to accept triggers in these formats allows for a more intuitive and user-friendly way for users to input the desired sequence of APIs. Once the trigger is received, it is passed on to other components of the system for further processing, including the extraction of the API sequence, generation of the dynamic workflow, and retrieval of data metrics based on the generated workflow. This process facilitates the automation and customization of workflows in the fulfilment management system (FMS), addressing the limitations of traditional static workflows.

[0087] Next at step

[0206] , the method comprising extracting, by an extraction unit

[0105] , the sequence of APIs that corresponds to one or more network nodes based on the received trigger. The sequence of APIs includes a series of API signatures, each signature of the series of API signature comprises at least one of parameters, data types, and return values that define a specific function or method associated with an API.

[0088] The signatures correspond to information relates to the API, including details such as API credentials, parameters, attributes, request schema, response schema, terms of use, error messages, endpoints, and data models. Each network node is associated with different API documentation or signatures. Consequently, the model is trained on the comprehensive information to accurately understand and generate the necessary API sequences for various network nodes. For example, an API for accessing user data might have documentation specifying the required authentication credentials, input parameters like user ID, attributes such as username and email, the format of the request and response, usage terms, error messages, and the endpoint URL. Each network node is associated with different API documentation or signatures. Consequently, the model is trained on this comprehensive information to accurately understand and generate the necessary API sequences for various network nodes. For instance, a network node handling inventory management will have distinct API signatures detailing how to query, update, and manage inventory data, while another node for user authentication will have APIs focused on login, token generation, and session management.

[0089] Now, the sequence of APIs may be captured from the received trigger at the receiving unit

[0103] . Once the receiving unit

[0103] receives the trigger, which could be in the form of an image or a flow chart representing a sequence of APIs, this information is forwarded to the extraction unit

[0105] . The extraction unit

[0105] then processes this trigger to identify and extract the specific sequence of APIs depicted in the trigger. The sequence defines the order and nature of the APIs that need to be executed for a particular process or task within the fulfilment management system (FMS). The extraction process facilitates in automating and customizing workflows in the FMS, allowing for greater flexibility and efficiency in workflow management.

[0090] Further, at step

[0208] the method encompasses generating, by a workflow generation unit

[0107] using a trained model, a dynamic workflow based on the extracted sequence of APIs. The trained model is trained based on a dataset comprising a plurality of interfaces and their corresponding API signatures. The trained model is trained further based on Natural Language Processing and image processing techniques. Once the extraction unit

[0105] has identified and extracted the sequence of APIs from the received trigger, this sequence is passed on to the workflow generation unit

[0107] . Here, a trained model is employed to transform the extracted sequence of APIs into a dynamic workflow. The trained model is trained on a dataset comprising various interfaces and corresponding API signatures, incorporating techniques from Natural Language Processing and / or image processing. The dynamic workflow generated by the workflow generation unit

[0107] is configured for specific sequence of APIs and is configured to be adaptable, allowing for changes in the workflow as the requirements of the FMS evolve. The ability to generate dynamic workflows based on different sequences of APIs is a key feature of the system, providing flexibility and efficiency in workflow management that addresses the limitations of traditional static workflows.

[0091] In an implementation, the dynamic workflow may utilise AI / ML techniques to train on a plurality of interfaces and also their corresponding API signatures. In a preferred implementation, generating automatically generate a dynamic workflow based on Natural Language Processing and / or image processing techniques but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Continuing with the above example, the uploaded image on the user device may be processed using image processing techniques for automatically generating a dynamic workflow.

[0092] In an implementation, the method flow comprises creating a set of states further comprising a request / response schema, a set of attributes, a plurality of end points and a plurality of mappings.Furthermore, automatically stitching the set of states and subsequently, automatically generating dynamic workflow.

[0093] For example, the method flow involves creating a set of states, each comprising a request / response schema, a set of attributes, a plurality of endpoints, and a plurality of mappings. For example, consider a fulfilment management system designed to automate the processing of online orders. The method would create several states to manage different stages of the order process.

[0094] One state might be the "Check Inventory State." In this state, the request / response schema includes a request with the item ID and quantity, and the response provides the availability status. The attributes associated with this state could include the item ID, quantity, and warehouse location. The endpoints would involve the inventory service URL, and the mappings would connect the request details to the inventory database fields and map the response to an availability status.

[0095] Another state could be the "Process Payment State." Here, the request / response schema involves sending payment details in the request and receiving the transaction status in the response. Attributes might include the credit card number, expiration date, and amount. The endpoints would point to the payment gateway URL, with mappings that link the payment details in the request to the payment gateway fields and map the response to the transaction status.

[0096] A third state might be the "Package Item State" In this state, the request / response schema includes order details in the request and packaging status in the response. Attributes could encompass the order ID, item list, and packaging instructions. The endpoints would refer to the packaging service URL, with mappings that connect the order details in the request to the packaging system fields and map the response to a packaging status.

[0097] Finally, there could be a "Ship Order State." In this state, the request / response schema involves shipment details in the request and a tracking number in the response. Attributes might include the order ID, destination address, and shipping method. The endpoints would point to the shipping service URL, with mappings that link the shipment details in the request to the shipping service fields and map the response to the tracking number.

[0098] Furthermore, the fulfilment management system automatically stitches these states together to form a coherent sequence and subsequently generates a dynamic workflow. For example, the system links the "Check Inventory" state to the "Process Payment" state, then to the "Package Item" state, and finally to the "Ship Order" state. It would be appreciated by the person skilled in the art that the automatic stitching facilitates that the workflow executes in the correct order. If the "Check Inventory" state indicates an item is out of stock, the dynamic workflow can adjust by including a state to "Notify Customer" or "Reorder Item," demonstrating the flexibility and adaptability of the dynamic workflow. Further, the proposed technique minimizes manual effort, streamlines the integration process, and ensures that the workflow remains efficient and relevant to the current context.

[0099] Thereafter, the method

[0200] comprises at step

[0210] retrieving, by a retrieving unit

[0109] , one or more data metrics from a storage unit based on the generated dynamic workflow, where the one or more data metrics are associated with the one or more network nodes. After the workflow generation unit

[0107] has created a dynamic workflow using the extracted sequence of APIs, the retrieving unit

[0109] fetches relevant data metrics that are necessary for the execution of the workflow. The data metrics could include information such as network performance, resource availability, or other node-specific parameters for the proper functioning of the workflow. The storage unit, from which the data metrics are retrieved, serves as a repository for all such data, ensuring that the retrieving unit

[0109] has access to the most up-to-date information. By associating these data metrics with the respective network nodes involved in the workflow, the system

[0101] ensures that each node can operate optimally, based on its current state and available resources. The capability of retrieving relevant data metrics dynamically based on the workflow requirements enhances the efficiency and adaptability of the FMS, addressing some of the key challenges in traditional workflow management systems. The data metrics corresponds to information associated with the one or more network nodes, segregation of an API based on application, schema associated with request or response, and one or more attributes associated with the schema associated with request or response. The one or more data metrics comprises a repository of data associated with the one or more network nodes. Further, the data may be associated with API segregation that may comprise a request / response schema encompassing a set of attribute details.

[0100] Segregation of the API is based on application refers to organizing and categorizing APIs according to their specific functions and use cases within different applications. For example, when the system receives a trigger in the form of a flowchart or image, it employs AI / MLtechniques to interpret the sequence of APIs. These APIs are then segregated based on their application. For instance, APIs related to number management might include functions for querying available numbers and updating their status. APIs for network provisioning might include configuring the Policy Control Function (PCF) and the Unified Data Manager (UDM). When generating a dynamic workflow, the system ensures that the APIs are grouped and utilized according to their specific applications, such as number management or network provisioning, thereby optimizing the workflow for efficiency and accuracy. This segregation allows the system to automatically associate the appropriate set of states for each application, ensuring that the generated workflow aligns with the distinct functional requirements of each API category.

[0101] The method terminates at step

[0212] .

[0102] FIG. 3A illustrates an exemplary workflow [300a] created by fulfilment management service (FMS), in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0103] At

[0302] , an image, video, or voice corresponding to a sequence of application programming interfaces (APIs) is uploaded. This uploaded media acts as a trigger for the workflow generation process within the Fulfilment Management System (FMS).

[0104] At

[0304] , the sequence of APIs, corresponding to one or more network nodes, is extracted based on the received trigger. AI / ML-based techniques are then employed to interpret the trigger and generate a dynamic workflow based on the extracted sequence of APIs. These techniques involve analysing the uploaded media to understand the structure and interactions of the APIs visually or audibly represented.

[0105] At

[0306] , one or more data metrics are retrieved from a storage unit based on the generated dynamic workflow. The one or more data metrics provide essential information associated with the one or more network nodes (include Network Node 1, Network Node 2, Network Node 3, and Network Node 4) disclosed at

[0308] .

[0106] FIG.3B illustrates an exemplary workflow created by a fulfilment management service (FMS), in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0107] The process starts when the user provides workflow [300b] as a trigger in the form of a flowchart or image. The trigger is received by the system's receiving unit, which can interpret inputs such as voice, video, or images that represent a sequence of APIs.

[0108] Upon receiving the trigger, the extraction unit processes the flowchart to extract the sequence of APIs associated with different network nodes. Each step in the flowchart corresponds to specific API calls. For example, "Step 1: Find free number inventory" involves an API call to query the database for available numbers, while "Step 2: Update number status inventory" involves another API call to change the status of the selected number to reserved.

[0109] The workflow generation unit then utilizes one or more trained models, which have been trained on datasets comprising various interfaces and their corresponding API signatures. These models are further refined using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and image processing techniques to accurately interpret the details of the flowchart. Based on the extracted sequence of APIs, the workflow generation unit creates a dynamic workflow that automates the outlined steps.

[0110] Once the dynamic workflow is generated, the retrieving unit accesses relevant data metrics from a storage unit. These metrics are associated with the network nodes involved in the workflow. For example, during "Step 3: Create provisioning PCF" and "Step 4: Create provisioning UDM," the system retrieves necessary configuration data for the Policy Control Function (PCF) and User Data Management (UDM) systems, respectively. This ensures that all provisioning steps are correctly executed based on the predefined API signatures.

[0111] Each step in the flowchart comprises specific API signatures that define parameters, data types, and return values. These signatures ensure that each API call performs its intended function, such as querying databases, updating statuses, or provisioning network functions. The system also creates a set of states that include request schemas, attributes, endpoints, and mappings, which are automatically associated by the workflow generation unit to form a coherent and executable workflow.
