Embodiment 2
A more preferable solution is based on the method for report generation performed by a computing device according to Embodiment 1. Referring to Fig. 3, it illustrates a methodological flowchart of a method for report generation performed by a computing device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Taking a certain network product to be performed statistics as an example, the method for report generation performed by a computing device may comprise:
Step 202: an apparatus for report generation obtaining preset configuration information of a data index;
wherein, the configuration information of the data index is preset by the statistician, the configuration information may include a name and an identification of the data index, a statistical object corresponding to the data index, a statistical mode of the data index, extraction location information of an original flow corresponding to the data index, etc. When a statistical object corresponding to the data index is not an bottom layer object, i.e., the statistical object includes at least one sub-object, and the data index is an aggregation of congeneric indexes corresponding to the at least one sub-object, the configuration information of the data index may further contain identifications of the congeneric indexes corresponding to the at least one sub-object and an aggregation mode.
Step 204: the apparatus for report generation obtaining concrete parameters of the data index according to the configuration information of the data index.
Specifically, the apparatus for report generation may extract an original flow corresponding to the data index, and count the extracted original flow according to the statistical mode of the data index, to obtain the concrete parameters of the data index.
When the statistical object is a network product, the original flow may include an operation log generated during the operation of the statistical object corresponding to the data index. Specifically, when the user uses a certain network product, the network product can record various operations of the user in real time. In an example where the user uses a certain social network, the server of the social network may record information such as the user's operation and time of logging in the social network, operation and time based on the social network, operation and time of using an application in the social network, and operation and time of exiting the social network, as the user's operation logs, and then sort and store them.
The server, as used herein, may refer to one or more server computers configured to provide certain server functionalities, such as monitoring, alteration, and database management. A server may also include one or more processors to execute computer programs in parallel.
An exemplary computing system for a server may include a processor, a storage medium, a monitor, a communication module, a database, peripherals, and one or more bus to couple the devices together. Certain devices may be omitted and other devices may be included. The processor may include any appropriate processor or processors. Further, processor can include multiple cores for multi-thread or parallel processing. Storage medium may include memory modules, such as ROM, RAM, and flash memory modules, and mass storages, such as CD-ROM, U-disk, removable hard disk, etc. Storage medium may store computer programs for implementing various processes, when executed by processor. Further, the monitor may include display devices for displaying certain user interface contents such as splash screens. Peripherals may include I/O devices such as keyboard and mouse, and communication module may include network devices for establishing connections through the communication network. Database may include one or more databases for storing certain data and for performing certain operations on the stored data, such as database management, data extraction /analysis.
The apparatus for report generation may extract and count the original flow according to the extraction location information of corresponding original flow contained in the configuration information of the data index.
Specifically, the extraction location information of the original flow may be an extraction interface of the original flow. The apparatus for report generation extracts the original flow from the interface, and counts according to the statistical mode in the configuration information of the data index, to obtain the concrete parameters of the data index. Wherein, the statistical mode may be a parameter calculation formula, or an algorithm program, or a pointer for calling the algorithm program, etc. For example, if the data index is the duration for each user to log in a social network, the statistical mode may be an formula for calculating the login duration.
More preferably, for a corresponding statistical object includes at least one sub-object, and the data index can be obtained by aggregating the congeneric indexes corresponding to the at least one sub-object, the apparatus for report generation may extract the concrete parameters of the congeneric indexes from an index database, according to the identifications of the congeneric indexes contained in the configuration information of the data index; and aggregate the concrete parameters of the congeneric indexes to obtain the concrete parameters of the data index. The apparatus for report generation may perform an aggregation according to an aggregation mode contained in the configuration information of the data index, wherein the aggregation mode may include a direct addition or a duplicate removal addition.
Step 206: the apparatus for report generation storing the concrete parameters of the data index and the identification of the data index in correspondence in the index database.
The apparatus for report generation may store the concrete parameters of the data index obtained through the statistics in correspondence to the identification of the data index in the index database, for the convenience of subsequent extraction.
Step 208: the apparatus for report generation obtaining preset configuration information of the report, the configuration information of the report including the identification of the data index contained by the report.
When a report is to be represented, the apparatus for report generation may obtain the preset configuration information of the report. Specifically, the statistician may preset the configuration information of the report to be represented, the configuration information of the report includes the identification of the data index contained in the report. When the user selects to represent a report corresponding to a certain statistical object, the apparatus for report generation obtains configuration information of the report.
Step 210: the apparatus for report generation extracting the concrete parameters of the data index from the preset index database according to the identification of the data index.
Step 212: the apparatus for report generation generating the report containing the extracted concrete parameters of the data index.
The apparatus for report generation generates and represents a complete report according to the extracted concrete parameters of the data index.
Through the above method, when a statistician needs to count a new report, he can directly configure a configuration file of the new report, and directly extract the concrete parameters of the data index from the index database according to the identification of the data index in the configuration file to generate the report. When the statistician needs to count a new data index, he can also configure a configuration file of the data index, and the apparatus for report generation obtains the concrete parameters of the new data index by counting the original flow or aggregating the concrete data of the congeneric indexes according to the configuration file, thereby improves the extendibility of the data system. In addition, in a case where a plurality of reports include the same data index, the plurality of reports can directly extract the concrete parameters of the data index from the index database, without counting the data index respectively, thereby improves the reusability of the data index.
In conclusion, the apparatus for report generation according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention by obtaining the concrete parameters by counting the original flow according to the preset configuration file of the data index, storing the concrete parameters in the index database, and extracting the required concrete parameters of the data index from the index database according to the preset configuration information of the report when a report is to be represented and generating the report, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that the data indexes of various reports need to be counted respectively, and achieves the purpose of improving the extendibility and the reusability of the data system.
