Referring to a flow chart of a complete vehicle configuration management method shown in fig. 1, the method is applied to a terminal, a complete vehicle configuration management system is configured on the terminal, and a complete configuration characteristic base, an engineering vehicle type and configuration relation, a rule matrix and a complete vehicle configuration cycle iterative algorithm are maintained in the complete vehicle configuration management system;

the method comprises the following steps:

s101: and receiving vehicle type configuration conditions input by an external user through a finished vehicle customization interface of the finished vehicle full-configuration management system, wherein the vehicle type configuration conditions comprise an appointed engineering basic vehicle type and a selected configuration characteristic code.

In this embodiment, the users may be divided into two types, one type is an external user, specifically, a user who needs to perform vehicle customization, and only inputs vehicle type configuration conditions to the entire vehicle full configuration management system, but cannot process the inside of the integrated configuration system, and the other type is an internal user, specifically, a user who can set internal constraint conditions in the entire vehicle full configuration management system, and the internal user may specifically be a salesperson, a logistics worker, a financial worker, and the like.

Specifically, the terminal is configured with a complete vehicle complete configuration management system, the complete vehicle complete configuration management system is provided with a complete vehicle customization interface, the complete vehicle customization interface displays the engineering basic vehicle type for customization and optional configuration characteristics, and an external user can input vehicle type configuration conditions through the complete vehicle customization interface, wherein the vehicle type configuration conditions comprise the specified engineering basic vehicle type and the selected configuration characteristic codes. As an example of the present application, the vehicle type configuration condition input by the external user may be (UI2CP 2; C00R), where UI2CP2 is the engineering base vehicle type specified by the external user, i.e., the specified engineering base vehicle type, and C00R is the configuration feature code selected by the external user, i.e., the selected configuration feature code.

It should be noted that the designated engineering base vehicle model and the selected configuration feature code input by the user come from the engineering vehicle model and configuration relationship and rule matrix, which is described in detail below.

S102: and traversing all configuration feature families including the specified engineering basic vehicle type in the engineering vehicle type and configuration relation and the rule matrix, and dividing the configuration feature families into a relevant group and a non-relevant group according to the relevance of the configuration feature families and the vehicle type configuration conditions.

The engineering vehicle type and configuration relation and the rule matrix I describe constraint relations between engineering basic vehicle types and configuration characteristics and between different configuration characteristics, and can be represented by a multi-dimensional variable array. The multidimensional variable array comprises a configuration feature family, a configuration feature family category, a configuration feature, an engineering base vehicle type, a constraint relation (namely a vehicle type configuration relation constraint formula) between the engineering base vehicle type and the configuration feature, and a configuration feature applicability identifier, which can be respectively represented by matrixes C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 and C6, and based on this, the engineering vehicle type, the configuration relation and the rule matrix I can be expressed by the following modes:

I_xy＝(C1,C2,C3,C4,C5,C6) (1)

wherein C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6 may be characterized as follows:

thus, any row in the engineering vehicle type, the configuration relation and the rule matrix can be represented as follows:

wherein x is a positive integer from 1 to n, and n is a positive integer greater than 1.

F_xAnd O_xAre all selected from a full configuration feature base library, wherein O_xIs the first element in the engineering vehicle type and configuration relationship and rule matrix, O_xIn particular to configuration feature correspondenceConfiguration feature code of (1), F_xIs used for the reaction of O_xAttribution to classify, F_xF in (1) denotes a family of configuration features, thus F_xSpecifically, the configuration feature family code corresponding to the configuration feature. F_xAnd O_xIs constant, some of the configuration feature families may include a plurality of configuration features, for example, a skylight "SUN ROOF" of a configuration feature family includes 3 configuration features, and the configuration feature family code is S35, and the configuration feature code under the configuration feature family includes S35S, S35X and S35Y, which respectively represent a skylight with normal skylight, a skylight without skylight, and a skylight with panoramic view, and some of the configuration feature families F_xWith only one configuration feature O_xThis is not intended to be exemplary.

T_xIs used to describe F_xComplete vehicle necessity identification, T_xThe value of (d) may be only M, which represents a family of configuration features necessary throughout the vehicle, or R, which represents a family of configuration features not necessary throughout the vehicle. M_xIs used to describe O_xThe method is applicable to engineering basic vehicle types. S_xIs used to describe O_xAt M_xA constraint relational expression of other relevant configuration characteristics in the range of engineering basic vehicle types, which is obtained by logically mixing (A) and (B)&) Logical operation relationships are represented by logical OR (/) and logical NOT (-). A. the_xIs used to describe O_xApplicable engineering basic vehicle type M_xApplicability of (A)_xThe values of (A) are only A (optional), R (required), B (reference), A represents the O_xAt M_xOptionally, R represents the O_xAt M_xUpper satisfies S_xConditions are necessary when F_xWhen M, the engineering basic vehicle type M_xMust have an O with attribute B_xAs a reference configuration, the F is set in a vehicle type configuration condition which is freely customized by a customer_xB attribute O when configuration characteristics of A or R are not defined_xAnd adding the configuration default of the benchmark configuration into the vehicle model configuration condition freely customized by the customer.

After receiving vehicle type configuration conditions input by a user, the terminal can traverse the engineering vehicle type, the configuration relation and the rule matrix to determine all feature families containing the specified engineering basic vehicle type, and then the terminal divides the configuration feature families into a relevant group and a non-relevant group according to the relevance of the configuration feature families and the vehicle type configuration conditions. For convenience of description, the related group may be referred to as a and the non-related group as B.

S103: and aiming at each configuration feature family in the relevant group and the non-relevant group, adding configuration feature codes matched with the vehicle type configuration conditions in the configuration feature families to a matching set by using a whole vehicle configuration loop iterative algorithm, adding configuration feature codes unmatched with the vehicle type configuration conditions in the configuration feature families to an excluding set, and adding configuration feature codes which cannot be determined whether the configuration feature codes are matched with the vehicle type configuration conditions in the configuration feature families to a set to be confirmed.

The whole vehicle configuration grouping loop iteration algorithm is an algorithm for determining that the configuration features belong to a matching set or an excluding set or a set to be confirmed based on necessity identification of the configuration features in the feature family and information of applicability of the configuration features on applicable engineering vehicle types. It is designed based on the axiom of the fact that "any one functional feature of a car must be composed of optional features plus basic features" and "a family of configuration features is only related to a limited family of other configuration features". The whole vehicle configuration grouping loop iteration algorithm has corresponding processing logic for a relevant group and a non-relevant group. The processing logic for the relevant groups and the non-relevant groups is described in detail below.

For the related group a, it includes the following cases:

1.1 one group of one F_xOne row O_x

Since there is only one row O_xTherefore, the constraint expression aiming at the engineering vehicle type and configuration relation and the rule matrix I can only execute logic AND operation with the constraint expression, and if the constraint expression is also executed and operated with other configuration characteristics, more than one row of O is needed_xBased on this, the availability flag Av is a mandatory choice of R, and the availability flag a indicates that there is a dependency, which is also a mandatory choice. See in particular the following table:

TABLE 1

Wherein Fc refers to a feature family, Ft refers to a vehicle necessity identification of the feature family, M refers to a necessary configuration feature family on the vehicle, R refers to an unnecessary configuration feature family on the vehicle, Av refers to a configuration feature Ox on an applicable engineering basic vehicle type M_xThe applicability of the above is that whether the column is selected or not indicates whether the configuration feature code corresponding to the configuration feature needs to be selected or not, and a complete vehicle configuration combination is generated, wherein Y indicates the configuration feature code O marked as Y_xAdding to the matching set, N denotes NO, and identifying as Y configuration feature code O_xAdding the configuration feature code O to the exclusion set, wherein the absence indicates that the condition does not exist and the configuration feature code O is marked as' uncertain and input required to be matched_xAdding to the set to be confirmed for subsequent confirmation.

In this case, the processing logic can be seen in the following table:

1.3 one group of one F_xOne row O_x&A F_xOne row O_x

In this case, the processing logic can be seen in the following table:

In this case, the processing logic can be seen in the following table:

TABLE 4

1.5 one group of one F_xMultiple rows of O_x&A F_xMultiple rows of O_x

In this case, the processing logic can be seen in the following table:

For the non-correlated group B, it includes the following cases:

The terminal may add the configuration feature codes corresponding to the configuration features of the configuration feature family in the relevant group a and the configuration feature family in the non-relevant group B to the matching set or the excluding set based on the above-mentioned complete vehicle configuration loop iteration algorithm. It is understood that in some cases, it is not possible to determine whether the configuration characteristics match or do not match the vehicle type configuration conditions, and the corresponding configuration characteristic codes can be added to the set to be confirmed for subsequent confirmation in combination with the known information.

S104: and determining whether the configuration feature codes in the set to be confirmed are matched with the vehicle type configuration conditions or not in a circular traversal mode by combining the engineering vehicle type, the configuration relation and the rule matrix, the matching set, the excluding set and the whole vehicle configuration circular iterative algorithm, and adding the configuration feature codes into the corresponding set until the configuration feature codes of each configuration feature family in the relevant group and the non-relevant group are added into the matching set or the excluding set.

It can be understood that when the configuration feature codes are added to the matching set or the excluding set, some configuration features are not determined to be selected or excluded, the configuration features are added to the set to be confirmed first, along with the updating of the matching set and the excluding set, the terminal may determine whether the configuration features are matched with the vehicle type configuration conditions or not by combining an engineering vehicle type and configuration relationship and rule matrix, the matching set, the excluding set and the whole vehicle configuration cyclic iteration algorithm in a cyclic traversal manner, if the configuration features are determined to be matched, the configuration features are added to the matching set, if the configuration features are not matched, the configuration features are added to the excluding set, if the configuration features are not determined to be matched, the configuration features are added to the matching set or the excluding set continuously in a cyclic traversal manner until the configuration feature codes of each configuration feature family in the related group and the non-related group are added to the matching set or the excluding set, i.e., until the set to be acknowledged is empty.

It should be noted that, for any feature family, if there is a configuration feature code matching the vehicle type configuration condition, it may be written as a first configuration feature code, and the terminal adds the first configuration feature code to the matching set, and simultaneously adds the remaining configuration feature codes in the feature family to which the first configuration feature code belongs to the exclusion set.

S105: and generating a whole vehicle configuration combination matched with the vehicle type configuration conditions according to the configuration feature codes in the matching set.

S106: and displaying the whole vehicle configuration combination.

After the terminal adds all the configuration features in the feature families of the related group and the non-related group to the matching set or the excluding set, because the matching set is the set of the configuration feature codes corresponding to the configuration features matched with the vehicle type configuration conditions, the corresponding configuration features need to be selected, and the excluding set is the set of the configuration feature codes corresponding to the configuration features unmatched with the vehicle type configuration conditions, the corresponding configuration features need to be excluded, so the terminal generates the whole vehicle configuration combination matched with the vehicle type configuration conditions based on the configuration feature codes in the matching set.

The whole vehicle configuration combination is a configuration combination meeting the user requirements, and it should be noted that the whole vehicle configuration combination may be one or multiple. The terminal displays the whole vehicle configuration combination so as to be convenient for a user to view. The whole vehicle configuration management system can also provide a selection control, when the whole vehicle configuration combination comprises a plurality of whole vehicle configuration combinations, the terminal can also respond to selection operation triggered by an external user and send the whole vehicle configuration combination selected by the external user to a downstream Material management system so as to determine a Bill of materials (BOM) corresponding to the whole vehicle configuration combination.

The BOM is composed of a series of part rows containing a material configuration relation constraint formula, the material configuration relation constraint formula is used for constraining the application range of the parts, and the engineering basic vehicle type codes and the configuration characteristic codes used by the material configuration relation constraint formula are from engineering vehicle types, configuration relations and a rule matrix I. The method for managing the full Vehicle configuration provided in this embodiment is used to analyze a configurable BOM of a product of a Vehicle type by using a Vehicle configuration combination Code (VC) corresponding to a Vehicle configuration combination determined by the method for managing the full Vehicle configuration provided in this embodiment, so as to obtain a single Vehicle BOM of a customized Vehicle type, and this step is generally performed in a downstream Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System, such as an Enterprise management solution System (SAP).

In practical application, an internal user such as a salesperson selects a group of representative vehicle type configurations at the beginning, and a whole vehicle configuration combination of a batch of engineering basic vehicle types is obtained by the whole vehicle full configuration management method of the embodiment and is used for conventional inventory vehicle type production. Most of the vehicle type configurations customized individually by the customer are modified on the basis of the VC calculated by the vehicle full-configuration management method of the embodiment, so that the delivery time is shortened.

In some cases, an intelligent recommendation strategy can be maintained in the whole vehicle configuration management system, so that the terminal can determine the whole vehicle configuration combination matched with the intelligent recommendation strategy according to the whole vehicle configuration combination and the intelligent recommendation strategy.
