The electronic device may be a desktop computer, an industrial computer, a notebook computer, a server, or other computing device. The electronic equipment can be in man-machine interaction with a user through a keyboard, a mouse, a remote controller, a touch panel or voice control equipment and the like.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a method for providing a visual interactive interface 11 for a database. The order of the steps in the flow chart may be changed and some steps may be omitted according to different needs.

Referring to fig. 1, a method of providing a visual interactive interface 11 for a database may include the following steps.

Step S11, displaying the target entity 120 and the first associated entity 130 associated with the target entity 120 in the image display area 111, and displaying the entity information of the target entity 120 in the information display area 112, wherein the target entity 120 is marked as a central entity.

In an embodiment, a database may include a plurality of entities, each entity having an association with at least one other entity. The database may be a knowledge graph database and the entities may be entities within the knowledge graph database. The interactive interface 11 may refer to a human-machine interface 11 of a database. The number of first associated entities 130 associated with the target entity 120 may be one or more, which is related to the number of first associated entities 130 that the target entity 120 has a semantic relationship with the central entity in the knowledge-graph.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the interactive interface 11 may include an image display area 111 and an information display area 112. The image display area 111 may be used to display a result of an instruction input by the user on the interactive interface 11, and the image display area 111 may display the target entity 120 and the first associated entity 130 associated with the target entity 120, for example, a connection line is displayed between the target entity 120 and the first associated entity, as shown in fig. 2, a connection line with an arrow is set between an employee of the target entity 120 and a manufacturing site of the first associated entity 130, where the arrow points to the first associated entity 130 associated therewith from the target entity 120; or the first associated entity 130 is arranged annularly around the target entity 120, etc. The information display area 112 may be used to display entity information of the central entity, and since the target entity 120 is marked as the central entity, the information display area 112 displays the entity information of the target entity 120. The entity information may include data information and attribute information, and if the target entity 120 is an employee, the data information includes department information, job number information, job entry date, and the like, for example, the data information is: and (4) department: manufacturing department, job number: h20211217, date of entry: 2019/06/11, the attribute information includes name, number, etc., for example, name: a1, name: a2, so the complete entity information is: name: a1, department: manufacturing department, job number: h20211217, date of entry: 2019/06/11, respectively; name: a2, department: manufacturing department, job number: h20211218, date of entry: 2019/06/11. The central entity "employee" is shown in fig. 2 as the target entity 120, and the information display area 112 is used for displaying entity information of the target entity 120 "employee". The image display area 111 may default to have a central entity when the interactive interface 11 is opened, or the image display area 111 may be blank when the interactive interface 11 is opened, and the corresponding central entity is displayed by receiving an instruction. In other embodiments, the entity information may be displayed together with the text information and the picture information, or only the picture information, so as to facilitate the reference.

Step S12, a marking instruction corresponding to the first associated entity 130 is received.

The marking instruction can be set according to actual requirements, for example, the marking instruction can be a double-click signal, a single-click signal or a voice instruction. Specifically, when the user double-clicks or single-clicks the first associated entity 130 through the mouse, a double-click or single-click signal is generated, and the image display area 111 receives the double-click or single-click signal designating the first associated entity 130.

Step S13, based on the marking instruction, marks the first associated entity 130 as the central entity.

The image presentation area 111 receives the double-click or single-click signal designating the first associated entity 130, and marks the first associated entity 130 as a central entity.

Step S14, displaying the entity information of the first associated entity 130 in the information display area 112 based on the first associated entity 130 being marked as the central entity.

When the first associated entity 130 is designated as a central entity, the information presentation area 112 may be updated, and the information presentation area 112 may be used to display entity information of the first associated entity 130, as shown in fig. 3. The target entity 120 is a central entity, and when the first associated entity 130 is designated as the central entity, the information display area 112 is updated, and the entity information that previously displays the target entity 120 is updated to display the entity information of the first associated entity 130, that is, the information display area 112 is updated from the one shown in fig. 2 to the one shown in fig. 3. For example, the entity information of the first associated entity 130 is: manufacturing: one or two places are displayed in the information display area 112. For ease of reading, there may also be a result or identification of the result in the information presentation area 112.

Further, the step of updating the information display area 112 includes: based on the fact that the first associated entity 130 is marked as a central entity, the entity information of the first associated entity 130 displayed in the information display area 112 is switched to display the entity information of the target entity 120, or the entity information of the first associated entity 130 and the entity information of the target entity 120 are displayed in the information display area 112.

In an embodiment, the information may be switched in the information presentation area 112, or after the information of the target entity 120 is presented and the first associated entity 130 is marked as a central entity, the information of the first associated entity 130 is added in the information presentation area 112.

In an embodiment, the method for providing the visual interactive interface 11 for the database may further include: acquiring a retrieval string; based on the search string, the corresponding target entity 120 and the first associated entity 130 associated with the target entity 120 are matched. In this embodiment, the target entity 120 and the first associated entity 130 associated with the target entity 120 can also be searched by inputting the search string. As shown in fig. 4, in order to facilitate the input of the search string, the interactive interface 11 is further provided with a search input area 113, and the search input area 113 allows the user to input the search string, and after matching the corresponding target entity 120 and the first associated entity 130, the search string is displayed in the image display area 111, as shown in fig. 5. If the acquired search word string is not an entity in the knowledge graph, the search word string is not displayed, if the acquired search word string comprises at least two entities, one entity can be selected to be displayed, and an entity with a higher level is displayed, or both entities are displayed, and the relationship between the two entities is displayed.

Further, the visual interactive interface further includes an output identifier, and the output identifier is displayed in the information display area 112. The method of providing a visual interactive interface 11 for a database may further comprise: receiving an output instruction corresponding to the output identifier; generating a document of entity information of the central entity based on the output instruction; and outputting the document.

As shown in fig. 5, the output identifier may be an output button or an output typeface, such as displaying "export," so that, after clicking the identifier, the database may generate an EXCEL document or a PDF document from the information of the information presentation area 112 and output the generated document. If the target entity 120 is a document, the information display area 112 displays a plurality of specific documents, and sets each document to be previewable, and when the name of the document is clicked, the document can be previewed, and after the output identifier is clicked, the database can generate an EXCEL document or a PDF document from the information in the information display area 112, and output the generated document.

In one embodiment, based on the first associated entity 130 being marked as a central entity, a second associated entity 140 associated with the first associated entity 130 is queried; the first associated entity 130 and the second associated entity 140 are displayed in the image display area 111.

The second associated entity 140 may be displayed along with the first associated entity 130 at the same time as the first associated entity 130, or may be annularly arranged on the peripheral side of the first associated entity 130, the number of the second associated entities 140 may be one or more, and if there are more, the fan-shaped structures are annularly arranged on the peripheral side of the first associated entity 130. The number of second associated entities 140 is related to the number of first associated entities 130 for which the first associated entities 130 have a semantic relationship in the knowledge-graph. As shown in fig. 6, the target entity 120 is an employee, the first associated entity 130 is a manufacturing site, and the second associated entity 140 is a factory. The first and second associated entities 130, 140 shown in fig. 6 are shown with a connecting line with an arrow pointing from the first associated entity 130 to the second associated entity 140 associated therewith. Further, based on the semantic relationship in the knowledge-graph, the second associated entity 140 may also have a third associated entity associated therewith, the third associated entity may also have a fourth associated entity associated therewith, and so on, which interact in a manner similar to the interaction between the target entity 120 and the first associated entity 130, and the first associated entity 130 and the second associated entity 140.

In an embodiment, no matter the entities are arranged in a ring or in a line, the entities and the entities associated therewith may be set with different colors at the same time, that is, the color of the first associated entity 130 is the same as the color of the line between the first associated entity 130 and the target entity 120, so that the distinction by color is facilitated and the association relationship between the entities is displayed more clearly.

In an embodiment, the image presentation area further comprises first attributes of the target entity 120 and the first associated entity 130. The first attribute may be a quantity, i.e. the number of included attributes. As shown in fig. 7, the target entity 120 and the first associated entity 130 each have a number displayed thereon, which is the number of profile information 150 respectively contained by the target entity 120 and the first associated entity 130. If the image display area displays a second associated entity 140, a third associated entity, etc., the number of the brief information 150 included in the corresponding associated entity is also displayed. The target entity 120 employee shown in fig. 7 contains 1677 pieces of profile information, and the first associated entity 130 manufacturer contains 2 pieces of profile information 150. The first attribute may partially obscure the corresponding entity, and as shown in fig. 7, the first attribute of the target entity 120 (e.g., employee) is 1677 (i.e., employee number is 1677), and the first attribute 1677 is partially obscured on the target entity 120, so that the first attribute of the target entity 120 can be directly viewed. The information display area 112 may display all the entity information, and when the displayed information exceeds the current page range, the information display area 112 displays a scroll bar, and the related information can be looked up by dragging the scroll bar.

In an embodiment, the method for providing the visual interactive interface 11 for the database may further include: receiving a viewing instruction corresponding to the target entity 120 or the first associated entity 130; based on the viewing instruction, profile information 150 corresponding to the target entity 120 or the first associated entity 130 is displayed, wherein the profile information 150 is a portion of the entity information. That is, by clicking or double clicking the location of the target entity 120 or the first associated entity 130, the brief information 150 of the target entity 120 or the first associated entity 130 is displayed, the brief information 150 is a part of the entity information, and the brief information 150 is the same kind of information, for example, as shown in fig. 7, if the target entity 120 is an employee, the brief information 150 is the name of the employee, if the first associated entity 130 is a manufacturing place, the brief information 150 is one place or two places included in the manufacturing place. To facilitate distinguishing the differences between the target entity 120, the first associated entity 130 and the brief information 150, the images of the target entity 120 and the first associated entity 130 may be set to be the same size, while the image of the brief information 150 is smaller than the images of the target entity 120 and the first associated entity 130, while the color of the brief information 150 is set to be the same as its corresponding entity color for easy reference. In fig. 7, receiving the viewing instruction of the employee of the target entity 120, the image display area 111 displays 1677 employee name information included in the employee of the target entity 120, because the number of employees is too large, only 6 employees a 1-a 6 are shown in the figure, meanwhile, an operation arrow is set on the target entity 120, receiving the instruction of the operation arrow, and the image display area 111 is turned forward or backward for easy reference, in other embodiments, the number of the brief information 150 displayed on one page may be set to 8, 10, etc., and meanwhile, the brief information 150 may be set to have the same or different distance from the target entity 120. The brief information 150 may be configured to be movable, and a drag command for the brief information 150 may be received, and the position of the brief information 150 may be moved in the image display area 111 following the command.

In an embodiment, the method for providing the visual interactive interface 11 for the database may further include: receiving a viewing instruction corresponding to a profile 150; the name of the target entity 120 or the name of the first associated entity 130 is switched to the name of the profile 150. For example, clicking on a1 in fig. 7, the name of the target entity 120 is switched to a1, as shown in fig. 8, and the information presentation area 112 is changed to have only the related information of a 1.

In an embodiment, the name of the target entity 120 or the name of the first associated entity 130 may also be switched to the name of the profile 150, and the first attribute of the target entity 120 may be switched to the first attribute associated with the profile 150. Since the target entity 120 and the first associated entity 130 display the information related to each other, when the target entity 120 is switched to the brief information 150, the first associated entity 130 also displays the information related to the brief information 150, as shown in fig. 8, since the target entity 120 is switched to employee a1, the first attribute of the target entity 120 is modified to 1, the first attribute of the manufacture place of the first associated entity 130 is modified to 1, and the information display area 112 is switched to the entity information of a 1. If a plurality of employee names are all A1, the first attribute of the target entity 120 is modified to the number of the employees with the same name, the attribute of the first associated entity 130 is correspondingly modified, and the information display area 112 simultaneously displays all the entity information with the name A1. At this point, a viewing instruction corresponding to the first associated entity 130 is received, and the profile 150 corresponding to the first associated entity 130 is displayed as information associated with the target entity 120A 1. For example, if employee A1 is department in the data information, the manufacturing site summary information 150 of the first related entity 130 is only displayed at one place, as shown in FIG. 9. If the target entity 120 is an employee, the manufacturing site displays brief information 150 having one or two locations, as shown in FIG. 10.

In one embodiment, a viewing instruction corresponding to the first associated entity 130 is received, and based on the viewing instruction, the profile information 150 corresponding to the first associated entity 130 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 10, the profile information 150 at the manufacturing site of the first associated entity 130 is displayed at one site and at two sites. Receiving a viewing instruction corresponding to a brief information 150, the name of the first associated entity 130 is switched to the name of the brief information 150, as shown in fig. 11, when the viewing instruction is received at one location of the brief information 150, the name of the first associated entity 130 is switched from the manufacturing location to one location, since the central entity is the target entity 120, the information display area 112 is not changed, at this time, the first attribute of the target entity 120 is changed, that is, when one location is selected, the number of employees of the target entity 120 is changed to the number of employees belonging to the one location, which is changed from 1677 to 852. After the name of the first associated entity 130 is switched to the name of the brief information 150, the first associated entity 130 receives the viewing instruction and displays other brief information 150 corresponding to the first associated entity 130, as shown in fig. 12, only two brief information 150 are displayed at this time. When one of the remaining profiles 150 receives the viewing command, the name of the first associated entity 130 is switched to the two viewed profile names, and the first attribute of the target entity 120 is changed at the same time. As shown in fig. 13, the name of the first associated entity 130 is modified to be one or two, and at this time, the first attribute of the target entity 120 is changed to 1677, and since the manufacturing site includes only one or two, when both of them are selected, the number of employees is displayed as the number of all employees. The corresponding second associated entity 140 may also perform corresponding interaction, that is, the non-central entity may perform the above interaction manner, so as to filter the specific information.

In an embodiment, the method for providing the visual interactive interface 11 for the database may further include: receiving a revocation instruction corresponding to the target entity 120 or the first associated entity 130; the name of the target entity 120 or the first associated entity 130 is switched to the name of the target entity 120 or the name of the first associated entity 130, and the information presentation area 112 is switched to the information of the target entity 120.

The revocation instruction may be to restore the modified name between the first associated entity 130 and the target entity 120 to an initial state, as shown in fig. 14; or, the state is withdrawn to the previous step, for example, the state in fig. 13 is withdrawn to the state in fig. 11, and after the withdrawal instruction is received again, the state in fig. 11 is withdrawn to the initial state, so as to facilitate the subsequent review and search. The withdrawal instruction may be a voice instruction, such as receiving a voice "return" or "withdraw" to allow name exchange of the target entity 120 or the first associated entity 130. The withdrawal instruction can also be right click, and when the mouse is moved to a corresponding entity, the withdrawal operation can be carried out after the instruction of the right click is received.

Step S15, receiving a moving instruction corresponding to the central entity; based on the movement instruction, the central entity is moved.

In one embodiment, the image presentation area 111 may receive movement instructions corresponding to a central entity. The movement instruction may be an operation of long-clicking and moving the mouse or an operation of moving the mouse after left-clicking, and when the movement instruction corresponding to the center entity is received, the position of the center entity in the image display area 111 is moved.

In one embodiment, while moving the central entity, the associated entities move synchronously, and the positions of the associated entities relative to the central entity are not changed, while moving the non-target entity 120, the positions of the other associated entities are not changed, and only the position of the moved entity is changed; in another embodiment, when the central entity is moved, only the position of the central entity is moved, and the positions of the other associated entities are not changed.

Fig. 15 shows that the target entity 120 and the first associated entity 130 are arranged in a ring shape, the four first associated entities 130 form a ring structure and are arranged outside the target entity 120, and if the name of the first associated entity 130 needs to be viewed, the corresponding positions of the ring structure can be clicked to display, and fig. 16 shows a schematic diagram of all the four first associated entities 130, so that in order to view the entire view of the image display area 111, the position of pulling the target entity 120 can be integrally dragged to other positions of the image display area 111. If the contents of all the first associated entities 130 are directly viewed in fig. 15, the portion of the first associated entities 130 beyond the image display area 111 is not displayed. The connection between the first correlation entity 130 and the target entity 120 may not correspond to its ring structure at the target entity 120. When some first associated entities 130 do not need to be viewed, the mouse can be moved to the corresponding connecting line, and the corresponding first associated entities 130 can be turned off by receiving the deletion instruction of the mouse, and fig. 17 shows the view after the two first associated entities 130 of the document and the machine are turned off, at this time, the positions of the employees of the target entity 120 are dragged, and the positions of the first associated entities 130 are adjusted, and if the first associated entity 130 of the technical level is pushed alone, the positions of the employees can be adjusted alone, as shown in fig. 18.

In one embodiment, the interactive interface 11 may further include an entity profile area 114, the entity profile area 114 configured to list information for all entities and first attributes in the database. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the entity profile area 114 displays content including "employee (1677), manufacturer (2), technical level (5), document (224), model (5)". I.e., the database contains 1677 employees 'information, 2 manufacturing departments' information, 5 technical levels of information, 224 documents of information, and 5 models of information. The user can display the corresponding entity in the image display area 111 by clicking the entity in the profile area, and the information of the entity is displayed in the information display area. The entity profile area 114 may present all of the entity information or only a portion of the entity information, which may be some of the entities that are queried with high frequency.

The method for providing the visual interactive interface 11 for the database can visually display the entities and the entity association relationship in the database, has good graphic presentation effect of the entity association relationship, can realize the retrieval of the data in the database in a double mode of search box and click interaction, and can also download the inquired data by a user.
