[0022] As mentioned earlier, information technology (IT) is a general term for various technologies used primarily for managing and processing information. Operational technology (OT) is the specialized expertise provided by automation control system operators within a factory to support the automation control system and ensure normal production. It controls the production equipment in factories and production lines. With the advancement of digitalization, the integration of IT and OT has become a trend in modern enterprise development. Currently, the integration of IT and OT is limited to displaying product information. For example, when querying a product on a display interface, detailed information about the product or the factory to which it belongs can be retrieved. However, this integrated display of product information alone does not enable operators to understand how business data flows between various business departments. For example, it does not allow IT or OT staff to understand the specific business execution processes and data relationships, nor does it allow operators to monitor production status during the production process. Therefore, existing integrated IT and OT display methods cannot meet enterprise needs.

[0023] In an embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the business information of the target business, the target data table is determined from the IT system, and the first process node is determined from the OT system, and the target data table and the first process node are displayed on the display interface, as well as the relationship between the target data table and the first process node, and the first process node. This allows for the integrated display of the IT system and the OT system, allowing staff to clearly view the correlation between the data of the IT system and the OT system, as well as the integrated workflow of the IT system and the OT system. Since the first process node is the process node being executed in the business execution process, this allows staff to determine the execution progress of the business, allowing staff to monitor the production situation in the production process, improving the digital display effect of the integration of the IT system and the OT system, and thus meeting the enterprise's monitoring needs for business processes. The following is a detailed description of the business process display method, device, and electronic device provided in conjunction with the embodiments of the present application.

[0024] FIG1 is a flowchart of a business process display method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1 , the business process display method 100 includes the following steps:

[0025] Step 101: Obtain business information of the target business.

[0026] Obtain the business information of the target business. The target business can be an order placed by a customer, for example, a customer needs to purchase 100 products, or it can be an internal production demand of the enterprise, etc.

[0027] Step 102: Determine at least one target data table related to the target business from a plurality of data tables included in the information technology system based on the business information.

[0028] An information technology system, i.e., an IT system, includes multiple data tables, each of which stores multiple data. Based on business information, at least one target data table related to a target task is determined from the IT system. The target data table is a various data table including target business. For example, the target data table may be a customer order data table including a target task, a production information data table, a cost calculation data table, and the like.

[0029] Step 103: Based on the business information, obtain the business execution process related to the target business from the operation technology system.

[0030] The operational technology system, or OT system, includes multiple business execution processes. Based on business information, the business execution process related to the target business is obtained from the OT system. The business execution process can guide each device in the OT system on how to complete the target business. For example, if the target business is the customer's demand to purchase 100 products, the business execution process in the OT system includes producing products, packaging products, and shipping products out of the warehouse, etc.

[0031] Step 104: According to the execution progress of the target business, determine the first process node in the execution state from the business execution process.

[0032] The business execution process includes multiple process nodes, for example, the business execution process includes the production product process node, the packaging product process node, the product delivery process node, etc.

[0033] According to the execution progress of the target business, the first process node in the execution state is determined from the business execution process. For example, if the target business has been executed to the process node of the packaged product, the process node of the packaged product being executed is determined as the first process node.

[0034] Step 105 : Display at least one target data table and a first process node in a display interface, and display associations between the target data table and the first process nodes, and between the first process nodes.

[0035] At least one data table and a first process node are displayed in the display interface. The data table can be displayed in the form of a table thumbnail or in the form of an icon, and the first process node can be displayed in the form of an icon. The first process node includes a hierarchical relationship. For example, under the process node for producing products, there are process nodes such as transporting raw materials, controlling production equipment production, and shipping finished products. Under the process node for packaging products, there are process nodes such as product packing and sealing. The association relationship between the target data table and the first process node, and between the first process nodes, is displayed in the display interface. The association relationship can be displayed in the form of a line or in a hierarchical manner, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0036] In one example, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a display interface provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2, the display interface displays data tables 201, 202, and 203 related to the target business, as well as process nodes 204, 205, 206, and 207 being executed related to the target business. There is an association relationship between data table 202 and process node 204, there is an association relationship between process node 205 and process node 204, there is an association relationship between process node 206 and process node 204, and there is an association relationship between process node 207 and process node 206. In this example, the connection relationship is displayed in the form of lines.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, based on the acquired business information of the target business, the target data table is determined from the IT system, and the first process node is determined from the OT system, and the target data table and the first process node are displayed on the display interface, as well as the relationship between the target data table and the first process node, and the first process node. This allows for the integrated display of the IT system and the OT system, allowing staff to clearly view the correlation between the data and the IT system and the OT system, as well as the integrated workflow of the IT system and the OT system. Since the first process node is the process node being executed in the business execution process, this allows staff to determine the execution progress of the business, allowing staff to monitor the production situation during the production process, thereby improving the digital display effect of the integration of the IT system and the OT system, and thus meeting the company's monitoring needs for business processes.

[0038] In one possible implementation, when displaying at least one target data table and a first process node in a display interface, and displaying the association relationship between the target data table and the first process node, and between the first process nodes, at least one target data table and a first process node can be displayed on the display interface with a first brightness, and displaying the association relationship between the target data table and the first process node, and between the first process nodes on the display interface with a first brightness.

[0039] On the display interface, all target data tables and first process nodes are displayed with the first brightness, for example: the target data table and the first process node are highlighted, and the association relationship between the target data table and the first process node, and between the first process nodes is displayed with the first brightness. The association relationship can be displayed with a line of the first brightness, for example: the associated target data table is connected to the first process node through a line, and the associated first process nodes are connected through a line, and the line is displayed with the first brightness.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, the first process node is displayed at the first brightness on the display interface. Since the first process node is the process node being executed, the staff can monitor the business process, clearly display the current execution progress of the target business, and highlight the relationship between the target data table and the first process node, and between the first process nodes. This can achieve the integrated display of the IT system and the OT system, allowing the staff to clearly view the correlation between the data between the IT system and the OT system, and how the IT system and the OT system work in integration, thereby improving the digital display effect of the integration of the IT system and the OT system.

[0041] In one possible implementation, based on the execution progress of the target business, a second process node in an unexecuted state or an executed state is determined from the business execution process, and then the second process node is displayed at a second brightness in the display interface, and the association relationship between the first process node and the second process node, and between the second process nodes is displayed at the second brightness, wherein the second brightness is less than the first brightness.

[0042] In the business execution process, a second process node that has not been executed or has been executed for the target business is determined. For example, if the target business has been executed to the process node for packaging the product, the product delivery process node that needs to be executed later, or the production product process node that has been executed is determined as the second process node, and the association relationship between the first process node (the process node in the execution state) and the second process node, and the association relationship between the second process nodes are displayed on the display interface with a second brightness. For example, the association relationship between the first process node and the second process node, and the association relationship between the second process nodes are displayed in low brightness on the display interface.

[0043] It should be noted that when the association relationship between the first process node and the second process node, and between the second process nodes, is displayed at the second brightness on the display interface, the first process node is displayed at the first brightness to form a brightness contrast with the process nodes that have not been executed or have been executed.

[0044] In one example, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a display interface including a second process node provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 3, process nodes 301, 302, 303, and 304 are first process nodes, process nodes 305, 306, and 307 are second process nodes, and data tables 308, 309, and 310 related to the target business are displayed in the display interface. Process node 307 is an executed process node, and process nodes 305 and 306 are unexecuted process nodes. After executing process node 307, process node 301 is executed. There is an association between data table 308 and process node 301, there is an association between process node 302 and process node 301, there is an association between process node 303 and process node 301, there is an association between process node 304 and process node 303, there is an association between process node 305 and process node 304, and there is an association between process node 306 and process node 305. Data table 307, data table 308, data table 309, process node 301, process node 302, process node 303 and process node 304, and the associations between them are displayed with the first brightness, and process node 305 and process node 306, as well as the associations between them, are displayed with the second brightness.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, the second process node is displayed with a second brightness in the display interface, and the relationship between the first process node and the second process node, and between the second process nodes, is displayed with a second brightness. This allows staff to clearly know the currently unexecuted process nodes, as well as the relationship between the process nodes to be executed and the process nodes being executed or already executed, thereby improving the digital display effect of the integration of IT systems and OT systems, and can meet the company's monitoring needs for business processes.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the business process display method may further determine, based on the business information, a target value chain node in the enterprise value chain that is associated with the target business, wherein the enterprise value chain is composed of at least one value chain subchain, each value chain subchain includes at least one value chain node, and the target value chain node is used to indicate the business category to which the target business belongs. The target value chain node and the relationship between the target value chain node and a target data table are then displayed on a display interface at a first brightness, and irrelevant value chain nodes and the relationship between the irrelevant value chain node and at least a portion of the data table are displayed on the display interface at a second brightness, wherein the irrelevant value chain nodes are value chain nodes in the enterprise value chain other than the target value chain node.

[0047] The enterprise value chain is a system centered around the enterprise's internal value activities. These activities can be divided into two categories: primary activities and supporting activities. Primary activities involve the production, marketing, and payment of physical products to buyers, as well as product support and after-sales service. Support activities refer to the inputs and infrastructure that support the enterprise's primary activities.

[0048] The enterprise value chain includes at least one value chain subchain, each of which includes at least one value chain node. Each value chain node corresponds to a business category. For example, a value chain subchain corresponds to a business value chain, and the business value chain summary includes a production planning management node, a supply chain management node, and so on. A target value chain node associated with the target business is determined based on the business information, and the target value chain node and the relationship between the target value chain node and the target data table are displayed on the display interface at a first brightness.

[0049] The value chain nodes other than the target value chain node in the enterprise value chain are determined as irrelevant value chain nodes, and the irrelevant value chain nodes and the association relationship between the irrelevant value chain nodes and at least part of the data tables are displayed on the display interface with a second brightness. The data tables in the IT system are associated with the value chain nodes, and one value chain node corresponds to multiple data tables. In one example, there is an association relationship between the irrelevant value chain node and the target data table. The target data table is displayed on the display interface with a first brightness, the irrelevant value chain node is displayed on the display interface with a second brightness, and the association line between the target data table and the irrelevant value chain node is displayed on the display interface with a second brightness.

[0050] In one example, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a display interface including an enterprise value chain provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 4, the enterprise value chain includes value chain sub-chains 401 to 406, each value chain sub-chain includes three value chain nodes, value chain nodes 4011, 4013 and 4022 in value chain sub-chain 401 and 402 are target value chain nodes, data tables 407, 408 and 409 are target data tables, data tables 410 and 411 are other data tables, and the enterprise value chain includes classification 412, classification 413, classification 414, classification 415, classification 416 and classification Class 417, each classification is used to represent at least one value chain node. The value chain nodes in the enterprise value chain are associated with data tables through classification. As shown in Figure 4, classification 412 includes value chain node 4011 and value chain node 4022, and classification 413 includes value chain node 4022 and value chain node 4013. Therefore, in the display interface, classification 412, classification 413, value chain node 4011, value chain node 4013, value chain node 4022, data table 407, data table 408 and data table 409, and the relationships between them are displayed with the first brightness, and the remaining irrelevant value chain nodes and data tables, as well as the relationships between them, are displayed with the second brightness.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the display interface also displays the enterprise value chain, and displays the value chain nodes in the enterprise value chain associated with the target business, as well as the association relationship between the value chain nodes and the target data table with a first brightness, thereby enabling staff to determine the business category to which the target business belongs in the enterprise, and displaying the association relationship between the remaining irrelevant value chain nodes and at least part of the data table with a second brightness, thereby enabling IT data corresponding to each business category to be displayed on the display interface, and the IT data is associated with OT data, thereby improving the digital display effect of the integration of IT systems and OT systems, and can meet the enterprise's monitoring needs for business processes.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the business process display method can also obtain relevant data from the information technology system and the operation technology system based on the acquired information display requirements and the association relationship between the data table and the process nodes in the business execution process, and generate information to be displayed based on the relevant data, and display the information to be displayed on the display interface.

[0053] Obtain information display requirements. This information display requirement is the information that the staff needs to monitor. The information display requirement is related to the target business and the execution progress of the target business. For example, when the target business is food production, environmental information, humidity information, etc. need to be displayed during the production process.

[0054] According to the information display requirements and the relationship between the data table and each process node in the business execution process, relevant data is obtained from the information technology system and the operation technology system. For example, the production plan in the IT system and the production efficiency and yield rate in the OT system can be obtained based on the relationship. After obtaining the relevant data, the information to be displayed is generated based on the relevant data. The information to be displayed can be in tabular form, such as a production efficiency change table, a production equipment usage time table, or in the form of indicators, such as the current temperature and humidity, etc.

[0055] In one example, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a display interface provided by an embodiment of the present application, including information to be displayed. As shown in Figure 5, based on Figure 2, the display interface displays a table, table 502, table 503, table 504, table 505, table 506, indicator 507, indicator 508 and indicator 509. It should be understood that Figure 5 is only a specific display example of an embodiment of the present application and should not impose any limitations on the embodiment of the present application.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, data can be obtained from IT and OT systems based on the acquired information display requirements and the association between the data table and the process nodes in the business execution process, so as to generate the information to be displayed required by the staff, so that the staff can monitor the data indicators when executing the target business, and can monitor the execution process of the business, thereby improving the digital display effect of the integration of IT systems and OT systems, and can meet the company's monitoring needs for business processes.

[0057] In one possible implementation, when displaying the association relationship between the target data table and the first process node, and between the first process nodes, the association relationship between the target data table and the first process node, and between the first process nodes can be displayed in the form of a two-dimensional visual knowledge graph, or the association relationship between the target data table and the first process node, and between the first process nodes can be displayed in the form of a three-dimensional layered exploration view.

[0058] Figures 2 and 3 display the association relationships between the target data table and the first process node, and between the first process nodes, in the form of a two-dimensional knowledge graph. In one example, Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional hierarchical exploration view provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 6, the association relationships between the target data table and the first process node, and between the first process nodes, can be displayed in the form of a three-dimensional hierarchical exploration view.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, the association relationship between the target data table and the first process node, and between the first process nodes can be displayed in the form of a two-dimensional knowledge graph or a three-dimensional layered exploration view, thereby allowing staff to choose to display the association relationship in two dimensions or in three dimensions. The staff has a high degree of freedom, improves the digital display effect of the integration of IT systems and OT systems, and can meet the company's monitoring needs for business processes.

[0060] In one possible implementation, the business process display method can also receive a query instruction for the business to be queried, and then determine at least one data table to be queried related to the business to be queried from multiple data tables included in the information technology system according to the query instruction, and obtain multiple third process nodes related to the business to be queried from the operation technology system according to the query instruction, and display the association relationship between the data table to be queried and the third process nodes, and between the third process nodes in the display interface.

[0061] The system can receive a query instruction for a specific business, such as a request to inquire about the execution of a product production business. Based on the query instruction, it can identify data tables related to the business in question from the IT system, such as business details and production yield rates. It can also retrieve multiple third-party process nodes related to the business in question from the operational technology system. These third-party process nodes are the execution steps required to complete the business in question, i.e., all the process nodes required to complete the business in question. The display interface then displays the associations between the data tables in question and the third-party process nodes, as well as between the third-party process nodes themselves.

[0062] It should be understood that when displaying the association relationship between the data table to be queried and the third process node, and between the third process nodes in the display interface, it can be displayed in the form of a two-dimensional visual knowledge graph or in the form of a three-dimensional hierarchical exploration view, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, the business process display method can also receive query instructions, and determine the data table to be queried related to the business to be queried from the IT system according to the query instructions, and determine the third process node related to the business to be queried in the OT system, and display the data table to be queried and the third process node, and the association relationship between the third process nodes on the display interface, thereby enabling the inquirer to clearly query the complete execution process of the business, and enabling the inquirer to clearly understand how the IT system and the OT system work together, thereby improving the digital display effect of the integration of the IT system and the OT system.

[0064] In a possible implementation, the business process display method may further obtain the execution time of a first process node in an executing state. If the execution time of the first process node is greater than a preset time threshold, an alarm message is displayed on the display interface, wherein the alarm message is used to indicate that a device executing the first process node has failed.

[0065] and / or,

[0066] Obtain fault report information from the information technology system and / or the operational technology system, and display a second alarm message on the display interface based on the fault report information, wherein the second alarm message is used to indicate that a device related to the business execution process indicated by the fault report information has failed.

[0067] A time threshold is pre-set, which can indicate that the execution time of the process node is too long. It should be understood that the set time threshold is greater than the time required to execute the process node. For example, if the time required to execute the process node is 10 minutes, the time threshold can be set to 15 minutes to ensure that the process node can be completed within the time threshold.

[0068] The execution duration of the first process node in the execution state is obtained, for example, the duration of the cargo handling process node. If the execution duration of the first process node exceeds a time threshold (for example, if the time threshold is 15 minutes and the cargo handling process node is 20 minutes), the execution duration of the first process node is too long, and an alarm message is displayed on the display interface. This alarm message may indicate a failure in the equipment executing the first process node, such as a malfunction of a transport cart or a malfunction of a robotic arm executing the cargo handling process node.

[0069] Fault information of equipment related to the business execution process of the target business can also be received from the information technology system and / or the operational technology system. It should be understood that when the equipment is started, the information technology system and / or the operational technology system will control the equipment to perform self-inspection. If the equipment fails, fault report information will be generated in the information technology system and / or the operational technology system.

[0070] After obtaining the fault report information, the second alarm information for the equipment related to the business execution process where the fault occurs is displayed on the display interface according to the fault report information, for example: the freight cart of the cargo handling process node to be executed fails, the robotic arm fails, etc.

[0071] It should be understood that the alarm information can be displayed on the display interface by flashing red or highlighting red to remind the staff that the equipment has failed, which is not limited to this embodiment of the present application.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, the execution duration of the first process node being executed can be obtained, so that it can be determined whether the equipment executing the current first process node is faulty based on the relationship between the execution duration of the first process node and the time threshold, and / or fault report information in the information technology system and / or the operation technology system can be obtained, so that it can be determined whether the equipment related to the business execution process is faulty, thereby realizing equipment fault monitoring, and allowing staff to discover equipment failures in a timely manner, thereby improving the digital display effect of the integration of IT systems and OT systems.
