Description

Device graphic display method and device

The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 200610103941.3, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Technical equipment

The present invention relates to the field of network management technologies, and in particular, to a device graphics display method and apparatus. Background technique

With the rapid development of communication services, the scale of network construction is getting larger and larger, and the structure is becoming more and more complicated. Therefore, effectively managing the network and resources is one of the keys to ensuring the normal operation of the network. As the core part of resource management, device management requires effective management of each board and each port.

There are often multiple chassis in a device. Each chassis has multiple slots for inserting boards. There are multiple ports on each board, as shown in Figure 1:

There are five chassis on the E1 device, five slots on the third chassis E13, and multiple ports on the second slot E132.

In large data management systems, especially in telecom operation management systems, it is difficult for real devices to correspond to the actual structure and resource usage of the device, simply from the tabular data. Therefore, most of the graphical methods are used to show the structure and resource usage of the device.

In the prior art, the relationship between the device to the chassis, the chassis to the slot, and the slot to the board is usually utilized to reflect the relationship between them. As shown in Figure 2, one device includes n chassis, and the chassis 1 includes m slots. When performing device graphic presentation, n chassis are displayed from top to bottom according to the association relationship between the device and the chassis; in each chassis, each slot is displayed from left to right according to the association relationship between the chassis and the slot. The slot in which the plate is inserted can directly display the plates associated with the slot, each slot or panel having the same size and shape. In this way, the frame 1 will be displayed as a horizontally arranged slot or plate, and the total number of slots and plates is m.

At present, with the increase of business functions, new types of equipment are continuously introduced, and the shape and types of equipment are constantly increasing. This single presentation is not accurate for special devices. For example, a device consisting of two frames, where the positions of the plates in the two frames are not all horizontally placed, and the size and shape of the plates are inconsistent, the existing graphic display technology cannot be true. The structure of the equipment is displayed to bring inconvenience to the construction and production of the equipment. Summary of the invention

The main purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a device graphic display method, which solves the problem that the display mode is single in the prior art and cannot display the real structural condition of the complex device, and the structure of various devices is truly displayed.

Another object of embodiments of the present invention is to provide a device graphic presentation device that simply and efficiently exhibits the structure of various devices.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a device graphic display method, where the method includes the steps of: establishing various chassis models, and storing slot scale information in each chassis model;

Obtain the frame model corresponding to the device to be displayed and its slot scale information;

The presentation graph of the device is generated according to the obtained slot scale information.

An embodiment of the present invention further provides a device graphic presentation device, where the device includes: a chassis model establishing module, configured to establish various chassis models, including generating slot scale information in the chassis model and saving the storage module Medium

a storage module, configured to store slot scale information in each chassis model;

a query module, configured to obtain, from the storage module, all the chassis models corresponding to the device to be presented and the slot scale information thereof;

And a graphics generating module, configured to generate a presentation mode of the device according to the obtained slot scale information.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the frame of different structures in various devices is corresponding to the corresponding frame model by model design, and the slot scale information in each chassis model is stored. In this way, when you need to view the device structure in the network, you only need to obtain all the chassis models and their slot scale information corresponding to the device from the stored information. Then, based on this information, the presentation graphics of the device are automatically generated. In this way, not only can the actual structure of various devices be simply and effectively displayed, the data information required in device management is greatly reduced, and complex device graphics of various irregular shapes can be conveniently displayed in one design. Improve equipment management efficiency. In particular, for the resource management and network management of the telecommunication enterprise, there are tens of thousands of devices to be managed. By using the embodiment of the present invention, the specific chassis model is bound to the slot information, and only hundreds of management can be reduced to The data information of dozens of frame models can be used. Moreover, when a device with a new structural frame is added to the network, it is only necessary to increase the frame model in the database, which greatly reduces the workload of the manager.

detailed description

The embodiment of the present invention maps the frame of different structures in various devices to the corresponding frame model by model design, and stores the slot scale information in each frame model. In this way, when the device structure in the network needs to be viewed, all the chassis models corresponding to the device and the slot scale information of the device are obtained from the stored information, and then the presentation graphics of the device are automatically generated according to the information.

In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention, including the following steps: Step 301: Establish various chassis models, and store slot scale information in each chassis model. Since all the frames are placed from top to bottom in one device, it is only necessary to record the frame order regardless of the placement of the frames in the device. There can be multiple slots in one frame, and the position of the board depends entirely on the position of the slot. Therefore, for a chassis, if you want to understand the structure inside the chassis, you only need to determine the positional relationship of each slot. That is to say, the figure of a device can be considered to be composed of one or more frame graphics, and each frame graphic is determined by the number and positional relationship of its internal slots.

Based on this relationship, the present invention utilizes the example model design principle to establish various chassis models. That is, the same model can correspond to multiple instances. The size and shape of these instances can be consistent, such as the chassis in different devices and the slots in the chassis. The difference between these examples is that the business in the instance is different. In the case of the case 1 and the case 2, their shapes are the same. The difference is that the first slot of the instance chassis 1 has a board inserted, and the first slot of the instance chassis 2 has no card.

Since there are a large number of instances of the chassis in the device, and the structure is divided, the number of chassis models is very limited. In this way, the position information of each slot in the frame model can be established and saved to the database by defining the panel, and then the view can be used to make the frame instances with similar structures share the location information.

Taking into account the ease of use, the position information of the groove can be characterized by a parameter such as the position, size and/or shape of the groove relative to the scale of the frame size parameter. The process of establishing the slot scale information in the chassis model can be implemented by means of graphic design, and the specific process will be described in detail later.

Step 302: When you need to view the device structure on the network, obtain all the chassis models and their slot scale information corresponding to the device.

To facilitate the device administrator to query the chassis model, you can configure the chassis model numbers and their order in the network on the NMS. In this way, corresponding to each device, the frame model number corresponding to the device and its arrangement order are obtained according to the configuration information in the network, and then the frame model corresponding to the frame model number is obtained from the storage information in sequence. And its slot scale information.

If the device model or structure in the network changes, you can modify these configuration information so that the administrator can find the information of all the chassis models corresponding to the device.

As described above, a device consists of one or several frames. Therefore, a device graphic is composed of graphics of these frames, and a frame graphic is inserted from one to several slots or slots. The graphics of the board are combined. Each chassis is associated with a chassis model in the database. In this way, all the frames belonging to this chassis model can share this part of the information.

Step 303: Generate a presentation graphic of the device according to the slot scale information.

After obtaining the information of each frame model and its slot scale, use the following procedure to generate a graphic for each frame:

Assume that the actual width of the chassis in the drawing is Swidth and the actual height is Sheight.

First, calculate the position, length, and width of the slot slot (k) that should be placed in the drawing.

Slot(k) The actual abscissa in the graph = 3101; (1 X coordinate scale xSwidth + Sxi; slot (k) in the graph of the actual vertical sitting #=slot(k) Y coordinate scale xSheight + Syi; The actual width of slot(k) in the graph = the width of the slot (k) scale xSwidth;

The actual height of slot(k) in the graph = the height scale of the slot (k) xSheight.

Where Sxi and Syi are the vertex coordinate values of the chassis.

Next, draw the pattern of slot(k) according to the calculated actual position of slot(k).

Finally, if a board is inserted in the slot (k), the board is drawn according to the size ratio of the slot slot (k). After all the frame graphics are drawn according to the above process, the presentation graphics of the device are generated.

First, based on the calculated specific values, use development tools (such as C++, Java, etc.) to implement or reference certain images into specific graphical representations, such as device block diagrams, frame diagrams, slot diagrams, board diagrams, etc., and then calculate The specific dimensions combine the above graphics to achieve a complete device graphic.

Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a flowchart of establishing a chassis model in the method of the present invention, including the following steps: Step 401: Obtain basic information of a chassis model, and the information may include a height, a length, a number of slots, and the like of the chassis.

Step 402: Check whether there is panel design information in the database that matches the basic information of the chassis model. If yes, go to step 403; otherwise, go to step 404.

Step 403: Display the graphic according to the panel design information of the frame model stored in the database. Then, proceed to step 406.

Step 404: Initialize the display graphic according to the number of slots in the frame model.

If it is the panel graphic of the initial design of the frame model, an initial graphical representation can be provided, such as the one shown in Figure 5. There are five basic slots in the frame model, which are horizontally arranged S 1 , S 2 , and S3 . , S4, S5.

Step 405: Design a frame model graphic according to the position of the slot in the chassis, including the slot arrangement, the vertices of the slot, and the size of the slot. '

Zoom in or out the graphics of each slot as needed, and modify the coordinates, alignment, etc. of the slots in the chassis. For example, the graphic of the frame model after the design is completed is shown in Figure 6.

Step 406: Obtain the scale of the position of each slot in the chassis model, that is, the slot scale information of the slot.

The position of each slot in the frame model is mainly the ratio of the apex, length and width of each slot to the length and width of the frame model. After the graphic design of the frame model is completed in step 405, the coordinates, length and width of the vertex of the frame model, and the coordinates, length and width of the vertex of each slot are obtained. Suppose i is the serial number of slot Si in the frame model, the vertex coordinates of Si are [SiX, SiY], the width of slot Si is siW, and the height is siH; the coordinates of the vertex of the frame model are [X, Y], The height of the box model is SFH, the width is SFW, then for slot Si:

The abscissa scale of Si = )siX - X| / SFW;

The ordinate scale of Si = |siY - Y I / SFH;

Si width scale = siW / SFW;

The height scale of Si = siH / SFH;

In this way, the slot scale information for each slot can be calculated.

Step 407: Save the slot scale information of each slot to the database.

In this way, a chassis model is built. When there is a frame corresponding to the model in the device to be viewed, the information is extracted from the database, and the frame can be completely displayed. If the device to be viewed also includes other chassis, the frame model information corresponding to other chassis is also extracted from the database, and all the information can be used to display a complete device panel structure.

It should be noted that, in step 403 of the foregoing process, after the frame model panel matching the input frame model basic information in the database is displayed, the process may proceed to step 405 to perform on the basis of the displayed frame model panel. Graphic Design.

The device graphics presentation process of the embodiment of the method of the present invention is exemplified below.

Referring to Figure 7, the device has two frames S71 and S72. Among them, there are five slots in the frame S71.

S711, S712, S713, S714, and S715, only the slots S711, S712, and S714 are inserted with the board; the frame S72 has four slots S721, S722, S723, and S724, and only the slots S721, S722, and S724 are inserted with the boards.

If there are no two types of frame models in the database, the panel models of the two frames are first designed.

After design, the design result of the frame model panel corresponding to the frame S71 is shown in Figure 8. The design result of the frame model panel corresponding to the frame S72 is shown in Figure 9.

After the design is completed, the frame model shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 and its slot scale information are stored in the database.

When the graphics of the device shown in Figure 7 are needed, the above information is obtained from the database to generate the device. Prepared graphics.

It should be noted that the information of whether each slot is inserted into the board may be configured in advance on the management device. When the device graphics are displayed, according to the information of whether the configured slot is inserted, the slot of the slot may be located at the slot. The pattern of the board is drawn, and the pattern of the slot is directly drawn for the slot without the board.

A person skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the steps in implementing the above method embodiments can be completed by a program instructing related hardware, and the program can be stored in a computer readable storage medium, and the program is executed. All or part of the steps in the above method embodiments may be included. The storage medium may be a read only memory, a random access memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, or the like.

Referring to FIG. 10, FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing the structure of an embodiment of a device for displaying a device in the present invention:

The device comprises: a frame model building module M1, a storage module M2, a query module M3, and a graphic generation module M4. The chassis model establishing module M1 is configured to create various chassis models, including generating slot scale information in the chassis model and storing the information in the storage module M2. The storage module M2 is configured to store slots in each chassis model. The scale module information is used by the query module M3 to obtain all the chassis models corresponding to the device to be presented and the slot scale information of the device to be presented when the device graphics are to be presented; the graphics generation module M4 is configured to obtain the slot according to the query module M3. The scale information generates a presentation graphic of the device.

The frame model building module M1 includes a scale calculation submodule Mil and a write submodule M12. The scale calculation sub-module Mil is used to calculate the scale occupied by the position of each slot in the chassis model; the write sub-module M12 is used to write the calculated scale information to the storage module M2.

The graphic generation module M4 includes: a slot position sub-calculation module M41 and a drawing sub-module M42. The slot position calculation sub-module M41 is configured to calculate vertex coordinates, width, and height of the slot according to the slot scale information, the frame height, and the frame width acquired by the query module M2. The drawing module M42 is configured to calculate the slot according to the slot position. The vertex coordinates, width, and height information of the slot calculated by the module M41 are used to draw a pattern of each slot in the frame.

In order to enable the graphics generation module M4 to generate the presentation graphics of the device according to the slot scale information, the scale calculation submodule Mil needs to be based on the basic information of the chassis model, including the height of the chassis, the length ratio, the number of slots, the location, Size, etc., calculate the scale of each slot in the frame model, including the coordinates of the vertices of each slot in the frame, the length and width of each slot, and the length and width of the frame model. Proportional information of degrees.

For a specific calculation process, reference may be made to the previous description of the method embodiment of the present invention, and details are not described herein again. In this way, after each chassis model is designed and the slot scale of each slot in the computer frame model is completed, it is persisted, and the information is written into the storage module M2 by the write submodule M12.

When the device structure in the network needs to be viewed, the query module M3 queries the storage information in the storage module M2 according to the configuration information of the device, and obtains the frame model and the slot ratio information corresponding to the device. Then, the graphics generation module M4 generates a presentation pattern of the device based on the slot scale information.

After obtaining the information of each frame model and its slot scale, the slot position calculation sub-module M41 first generates the graphics of each frame according to the following procedure:

Slot(k) The actual abscissa in the graph = the X coordinate scale of slot(k) xSwidth + Sxi; the actual ordinate of slot(k) in the graph = the Y coordinate scale of slot(k) xSheight + Syi; slot( k) the actual width in the graph = the width of the slot (k) xSwidth;

The actual height of slot(k) in the graph = the height of slot(k) xSheight.

Where Sxi and Syi are the vertex coordinate values of the chassis.

Then, the drawing sub-module M42 draws the pattern of the slot(k) according to the calculated actual position of the slot (k). Once the graphics of all the slots in a frame have been drawn, a complete frame graphic will be displayed. Once all the frame graphics have been drawn, a complete device graphic is generated.

Of course, in the above process of drawing the groove, according to the configuration information of the device, if a board is inserted in the slot (k), the board is drawn according to the size ratio of the slot (k), otherwise, only the board can be drawn. An empty slot, and identifies that the slot has no card. The graphic format of the last presentation may be determined according to requirements, for example, according to whether the slots in the configuration information are inserted into the board to identify the state of the slot in each slot, and the pattern of the slot in which the slot is inserted is added with a stripe or a ground color to Show the difference between the slot and the slot without the board.

While the invention has been described by the embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood that
