Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments will be described below in order to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.

Fig. 1 illustrates a flowchart of a method of generating a business rule expression according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Here, the method may be performed by a computer program, or by a dedicated system or computing device for generating business rule expressions, as examples.

Referring to fig. 1, in step S10, index items and/or rule constitutions capable of constituting business rules are presented to a user. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, business rules may include index items and/or rule composers. Here, the index item may be used to measure business related aspects, and the rule composer may indicate elements composing the rule in addition to the index item.

As examples, rule composers may include brackets, logical operators, arithmetic operators, relational operators, and/or function process names.

Here, the logical operators may include, but are Not limited to, and, or, xor, not, etc.; the arithmetic operators may include, but are not limited to + (addition), subtractive, multiplicative, divided, complementary, and |! (factorial operation) and the like; the relational operators may include, but are not limited to > (greater than), < (less than), = (equal to),.ltoreq (less than or equal to),. Gtoreq (greater than or equal to),. Noteq (not equal to), and the like.

In one example, the metrics may include attribute fields of the business data, which may also be referred to as base metrics.

That is, the base index may refer to an attribute field in service data (i.e., service data to be processed) acquired through user upload or through other channels.

Here, a plurality of data records may be included in the service data. Each business data may originate from a local database or may originate from a database on the internet cloud. As an example, one data record per row of the business data table, one column of the data record is an attribute field.

The basic index is an attribute field of the data record. For example, after acquiring a service data, an attribute field of the service data may be extracted, and the extracted attribute field may be directly used as a base index. That is, the base index may be directly extracted from the business data without any processing.

In another example, the index item may include a composite field generated based on the attribute field.

Here, the composite field may refer to a new index (which may also be referred to as a custom index) obtained by corresponding processing of one or more base indexes (i.e., attribute fields). For example, taking the basic index as an "identity card number", the customized index "age" can be obtained after the "identity card number" is subjected to the processing method of "age extraction", and the customized index "sex" can be obtained after the "identity card number" is subjected to the processing method of "sex extraction".

Further, the composite field may also refer to a new custom indicator obtained by corresponding processing of one or more base indicators and/or custom indicators that have been generated. That is, the composite field may be generated based on the base index either directly or indirectly (i.e., in this case, directly based on the custom index that has been generated).

The step of generating the composite field based on the attribute field will be described in detail with reference to fig. 3, and the present invention will not be described herein.

In step S20, a user selection of a presented index item and/or rule constituent is received.

Here, the user may effect selection of the index item and/or rule constituent by various technical means. As an example, the step of receiving a user selection of a presented index item and/or rule constituent may include: and receiving at least one operation of clicking, long pressing, double clicking and dragging of the displayed index item and/or rule composition by the user. The invention is not limited thereto but may be selected by a person skilled in the art in other ways.

In step S30, the index item and/or rule composition selected by the user is displayed in the rule edit section.

Here, the index item and/or the rule constitution symbol selected by the user may be displayed in the rule edit section in various manners.

For example, in the case that the selection of the displayed index item and/or rule constituent by the user is a drag operation, the drag operation may refer to that the index item and/or rule constituent is dragged into the rule editing area, so as to realize display in the rule editing area.

In an alternative embodiment, in the course of performing the drag operation, a plurality of drop positions may be displayed in the rule edit section in response to the drag operation for each dragged object (i.e., the dragged index item or the rule composer). In this case, the drag operation may include dragging the dragged object to one of a plurality of drop positions. Here, the plurality of placement positions may be recommended placement positions of the object determined based on the dragged object.

As an example, the index items and/or rule composers may be presented as button controls. Accordingly, the step of displaying the user-selected index item and/or rule constituent in the rule edit section may comprise: text content corresponding to the user-selected index item and/or rule constituent is displayed in the rule edit section. Alternatively, the step of displaying the user-selected index item and/or rule constituent in the rule edit section may comprise: a button control corresponding to the user-selected index item and/or rule constituent is displayed in the rule edit section.

Fig. 2 illustrates an exemplary diagram of an editing interface of a business rule expression according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the presentation of the editing interface shown in fig. 2 is only an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art may present the index item and rule composition and rule editing area in other ways.

For example, the step of providing the editing interface may include: the editing interface is provided when an operation for creating a business rule expression is received or an editing operation for editing an existing business rule expression is received.

As an example, when an editing operation is received for editing an existing business rule expression, it is detected whether the existing business rule expression is being applied to a business decision, and if the existing business rule expression is not currently applied, an editing interface is provided. If the existing business rule expression is currently being applied to a business decision, a message is presented to the user prompting that the existing business rule expression cannot be edited.

Taking the example shown in fig. 2 as an example, the "calculation process editing area" in the editing interface shown in fig. 2 is a rule editing area, and in addition, index items and/or rule composers are displayed in a toolbar of the editing interface, wherein the "method" column in the toolbar displays rule composers, such as logical operators "and", "or", "not", and a function processing name "method 1", etc. The 'index' column in the tool bar shows the index items, and the 'index' column can show the basic index and the custom index, and it is understood that each index item can be derived from different data tables, and the index items corresponding to different data tables can be the same or different.

In addition, the index items and/or rule components can be indirectly displayed by further displaying the established rule in the 'basic rule' column, and accordingly, the index items and/or rule components constituting the basic rule can be selected at one time according to the selection of the basic rule by the user.

The "visualization" option and the "custom code editing" option in the editing interface shown in fig. 2 can be used to switch the operation modes of the rule editing region.

For example, when the "visualization" option is selected, rule editing may be performed according to an operation mode of editing an existing element, where the index item and/or the rule composer may be displayed as a corresponding control, and a user may perform operations such as moving, deleting, and/or adding to the corresponding control to edit, so as to obtain a complete rule expression. Further, when the "custom code editing" option is selected, editing may be performed in the form of input text (e.g., code), where the user may manually input at least a portion of the index items and/or rule components that make up the rule expression, resulting in a complete rule expression.

Here, the editing operation may be performed in any one of the operation modes, and when switching from one operation mode to another operation mode, linkage of the contents of the regular expression is performed. However, it should be understood that the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above two modes, and any other operation modes for generating a regular expression may be employed, for example, the above two operation modes may be fused to obtain another operation mode; alternatively, other modes of operation, such as voice input, may be employed.

Returning to fig. 1, in step S40, according to the editing operation performed by the user in the rule editing area, editing processing is performed at least for the displayed index item and/or rule composition to obtain the business rule expression.

Here, after the index item and/or rule composition selected by the user is displayed in the rule edit section, various operations such as movement, deletion, addition, and the like can be performed thereon to obtain the business rule expression. Here, as an example, all elements constituting the business rule expression may be acquired by a user's selection operation, for example, a user-selected index item and/or a rule composer may be displayed in a rule edit area, and other elements in addition thereto may be obtained by the user through operations such as selection from a drop-down menu, manual entry, and the like.

In addition to the above manner, the business rule expression may be obtained according to an operation performed by the user in the rule edit section to input text content corresponding to the index item and/or the rule composition. As an example, in the editing interface shown in fig. 2, when switching to the operation mode of custom code editing, the user may manually input the respective index items and/or rule constitutions of the rule expression. Here, for example, based on an input operation performed by the user in the rule edit section, a list of text contents corresponding to candidate index items and/or candidate rule components may be provided at a position close to the input operation for the user to select the input text contents therefrom.

In an alternative embodiment, the method for generating a business rule expression according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include: the operation mode of the rule editing area is set to generate business rule expressions in different operation modes set in the rule editing area.

In one example, the operation mode of the rule edit section may be set to an edit mode. In the case where the operation mode is set to the edit mode, according to an edit operation performed by the user in the rule edit section, edit processing is performed at least for the displayed index item and/or rule composition to obtain a business rule expression.

In another example, the operation mode of the rule edit section may be set as the input mode. In the case where the operation mode is set as the input mode, the business rule expression is obtained according to an operation performed by the user in the rule edit section to input text content corresponding to the index item and/or the rule composition.

Optionally, the method for generating a business rule expression according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include: and linking the business rule expression in the editing mode with the business rule expression in the input mode. In this way, results obtained in one mode of operation can be conveniently synchronized under another mode of operation to further facilitate the generation of regular expressions by the user.

Here, taking the editing interface shown in fig. 2 as an example, after setting a rule name, a rule description, a decision result, and a corresponding rule tag, operations may be performed on index items and/or rule constitutions therein in the rule editing area to obtain a business rule expression. When a selection of a "save" button on the editing interface is received, a rule containing the business rule expression may be generated.

Here, it should be understood that after obtaining the business rule including the business rule expression, a decision may be made on the business data based on the obtained business rule. For example, the method may further comprise: and sending the business rule to a business processing platform and/or a business decision node so that the business processing platform and/or the business decision node processes the business to be processed based on the business rule. Therefore, service data corresponding to the target service to be judged can be obtained, the service data is judged through the service rule, and a decision result corresponding to the target service is generated.

Here, if the business rule is a rule for determining whether the user is a loanable user, and the target business to be determined is a request for applying for a loan input by the target user, based on the request, personal information of the target user is acquired from a business system or database as the business data. Matching the personal information of the target user with the business rule; if the matching is successful, judging the target user as a loanable user, and generating a decision result for indicating a loan application through the target user; otherwise, generating a decision result for indicating refusal of the loan application of the target user.

In addition, the business rules described above may be applied in a financial wind-control scenario, such as anti-fraud, to apply business rules to business data, such as transactions, to determine if it is a fraudulent transaction. The present invention is not limited thereto, and the business rule related scheme of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be applied to other scenarios for making business decisions.

For the case where the index item includes a composite field generated based on the attribute field, the step of generating the composite field based on the attribute field will be described below with reference to fig. 3.

Fig. 3 shows a flowchart of the steps of generating a composite field based on attribute fields according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 3, in step S100, an existing index item and/or index composer is presented to a user.

As an example, an existing index item may include an attribute field of business data and/or a composite field that has been generated. Here, each composite field may be obtained by processing the attribute field and/or the composite field that has been generated. Further, by way of example, the indicator composer may include brackets, arithmetic operators, and/or function process names.

For example, the step of presenting to the user the existing index items and/or index composers may comprise: displaying the existing index item according to a data table of service data related to the existing index item; and/or, the index constituent is presented according to the category of the index constituent. Here, when generating the composite index, existing index items may be partitioned and presented according to the data table to which they belong or depend, and/or index composers may be categorized based on certain criteria and presented according to categories (e.g., arithmetic operators, functions, etc.).

In step S200, a user selection of a presented existing index item and/or index composer is received.

Here, the user may effect selection of an existing index item and/or index constituent by various technical means. As an example, the step of receiving a user selection of an existing indicator term and/or indicator composition of a presentation may comprise: and receiving at least one operation of clicking, long pressing, double clicking and dragging of the displayed existing index item and/or index composition by the user. The invention is not limited thereto but may be selected by a person skilled in the art in other ways.

In step S300, the existing index item and/or index composition selected by the user is displayed in the index editing area.

Here, the existing index item and/or index constituent selected by the user may be displayed in the index editing region in various ways.

For example, in the case that the selection of the displayed existing index item and/or index composition by the user is a drag operation, the drag operation may refer to that the existing index item and/or index composition is dragged into the index editing area, so as to realize display in the index editing area.

As an example, existing index items and/or index composers are presented as button controls. Accordingly, the step of displaying the user-selected existing index item and/or index constituent in the index editing region may include: displaying text content corresponding to the existing index item and/or index composition symbol selected by the user in the index editing area; or, a button control corresponding to the existing index item and/or index composition character selected by the user is displayed in the index editing area.

In step S400, according to the editing operation performed by the user in the index editing area, editing processing is performed at least on the displayed existing index items and/or index composers to obtain a composite field.

Here, after the existing index item and/or index composer selected by the user is displayed in the index editing region, a compound field may be obtained by performing various operations thereon such as movement, deletion, addition, and the like. Here, as an example, all elements constituting the compound field may be acquired by a user's selection operation, for example, an existing index item and/or index composer selected by the user may be displayed in the index editing region, and other elements in addition thereto may be obtained by the user through operations such as selection from a drop-down menu, manual entry, and the like.

In addition to the above manner, the compound field may be obtained according to an operation performed by the user in the index editing region to input text content corresponding to an existing index item and/or index composition. As an example, when switching to the custom code editing mode of operation, the user may manually enter each of the existing index items and/or index composers that make up the compound field. Here, for example, based on an input operation performed by the user in the index editing region, a list of text contents corresponding to candidate existing index items and/or candidate index constitutions may be provided at a position close to the input operation for the user to select the input text contents therefrom.

In an alternative embodiment, the method for generating a business rule expression according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include: setting an operation mode of the index editing region.

In one example, the operation mode of the index editing region may be set to an editing mode. In the case where the operation mode is set to the edit mode, according to an edit operation performed by the user in the index edit section, at least editing processing is performed for the displayed existing index item and/or index composition to obtain a composite field.

In another example, the operation mode of the index editing region may be set as the input mode. In the case where the operation mode is set as the input mode, the compound field is obtained according to an operation performed by the user in the index editing region to input text content corresponding to an existing index item and/or index composition.

Optionally, the method for generating a business rule expression according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include: and linking the composite field in the editing mode with the composite field in the input mode. In this way, results obtained in one mode of operation can be conveniently synchronized under another mode of operation to further facilitate user generation of compound fields.

An example of generating a composite field based on existing pointer items and/or pointer composers will be described below with reference to fig. 4-9B.

Fig. 4 shows an exemplary diagram of an index management interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the presentation form of the index management interface shown in fig. 4 is only an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art may also present the existing index items and index composers and the index editing region in other manners.

For example, the step of providing the index management interface may include: the editing interface is provided when an operation for newly creating a composite field is received or an editing operation for editing an existing composite field is received.

In this example, the process of generating a custom indicator based on existing indicator entries and/or indicator composers is described using a composite field as an example of a custom indicator.

The "calculation process editing area" in the index management interface shown in fig. 4 is an index editing area, and an existing index item and/or an index constitutive symbol are displayed in a toolbar of the index management interface, wherein a "method" column in the toolbar displays an index constitutive symbol, such as an arithmetic operator "count", "average", "maximum", "minimum", "sum", and the like. The "index" column in the toolbar shows existing index items.

The "visualization" option and the "custom code editing" option in the index management interface shown in fig. 4 may also be used to switch the operation mode of the index editing region.

FIG. 5 illustrates an exemplary diagram of selecting an existing metric item and/or metric constituent by a single click operation according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 5, when a click operation is received on an existing index item and/or index constituent shown in the "toolbar" (e.g., "id number acquisition age"), the selected existing index item and/or index constituent is displayed in the index editing area, for example, the selected "id number acquisition age" may be automatically added to the position of the cursor in the index editing area.

FIG. 6 illustrates an exemplary diagram of selecting an existing pointer item and/or pointer composition by a drag operation according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Here, the drag operation may refer to dragging an existing index item and/or index composition into the index editing region.

In an alternative embodiment, in the course of performing the drag operation, a plurality of drop positions may be displayed in the index editing area in response to the drag operation for each dragged object (i.e., an existing index item or index composer being dragged). In this case, the drag operation may include dragging the dragged object to one of a plurality of drop positions. Here, the plurality of placement positions may be recommended placement positions of the object determined based on the dragged object.

As shown in fig. 6, the drag operation may refer to dragging an existing index item and/or index constituent (e.g., "id number acquisition age") shown in the "toolbar" into the index editing area.

Fig. 7 illustrates an exemplary diagram of performing an operation in an index editing region according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

For example, a list of candidate existing index items and/or text contents corresponding to candidate index constituent symbols matched with the input text contents can be provided according to the content input by the user at a position close to the input operation (such as a position where a cursor is positioned in an index editing area), so that the user can select the input text contents, and the input efficiency is improved.

In an alternative embodiment, the method for generating a business rule expression according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include: and modifying the existing index items and/or index composition symbols displayed in the index editing area.

For example, a drag operation on a specified object in a displayed existing index item and/or index composition may be received, and a plurality of cue modification positions may be displayed in an index editing region in response to the drag operation, at which time the drag operation is to drag the specified object to one of the plurality of cue modification positions.

Fig. 8A to 8C illustrate exemplary diagrams for adjusting the placement positions of existing index items and/or index composers in an index editing region according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

For example, when a drag operation is received on a specified object (for example, "id card number acquisition age") in the index editing region, the display style of the mouse may be changed to a grip form, and in the course of the specified object being dragged, two cue modification positions are displayed in the index editing region (as shown in fig. 8B), and the specified object is dragged to one of the two cue modification positions to complete the drag operation (as shown in fig. 8C).

In another example, the editing operation may include modifying text content corresponding to the displayed existing pointer item and/or pointer constituent.

For example, an operation for selecting a specified object in the displayed existing index item and/or index composer may be received, and in response to the operation, an editing state for text content corresponding to the selected specified object is entered, in which the text content corresponding to the specified object is modified according to an input of a user.

Fig. 9A and 9B illustrate exemplary diagrams for modifying text contents corresponding to an existing index item and/or index composer in an index editing region according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 9A, when an operation for selecting a specified object in the index editing region is received (for example, a mouse is stopped (river) at a position where the specified object in the index editing region is located, and the specified object is double-clicked), an editing state is entered. Text content entered by the user is received in the edited state (as shown in fig. 9B).

Here, if there is no existing index item and/or index composition corresponding to the input text content, the text content corresponding to the specified object is not changed, i.e., the text content corresponding to the specified object remains unchanged.

Alternatively, at least one candidate content matching the input text content may be provided at a position close to the input operation according to the received text content input by the user, a selection of any one of the provided at least one candidate content by the user is received, and the original text content corresponding to the specified object is replaced with the selected candidate content.

Here, it should be understood that the above-mentioned step of modifying an existing index item and/or index constituent in the index editing area is also applicable to modifying an index item and/or rule constituent displayed in the rule editing area, and the disclosure of this part will not be repeated.
