detailed description

It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

The present invention provides a tree-based selection method. As shown in FIG. 1 , a flow diagram of a first embodiment of a tree-based selection method according to the present invention is shown. The tree-based selection method includes:

S10. When receiving an instruction that the user selects a wildcarding level, determining, according to the instruction, a wildcarding level selected by the user;

Taking resource modeling of telecommunication services as an example, telecommunication resources are classified into network elements and objects (also called components). Generally, network elements are relatively specific devices, such as base stations, power supplies, routers, etc., and objects are some Small device or virtual device, For example, a board, a cell, and the like. Before managing a resource, first specify the type of the device to be managed. Generally, at least two types are included, one is a network element type and the other is an object type. The user needs to operate on a certain device, which is represented in the resource management system, that is, an object type under a certain network element type.

The wildcarding hierarchy is used to indicate the level by which the user selects resources in the resource tree, and can be divided into five hierarchical types, which are a full network layer, a network element grouping layer, a network element layer, an object grouping layer, and an object layer. A wildcarding hierarchical selection area is set in the resource management system, and the wildcarding hierarchical selection area may be configured with a plurality of different wildcarding levels, and each of the wildcarding levels belongs to only one of the five hierarchical types. And different wildcard levels can belong to the same level type. The user selects any one of the wildcarding levels in the pull-down menu of the wildcarding layer selection area. At this time, the resource management system receives an instruction triggered by the user selecting the wildcarding level, and determines, according to the instruction, the user selected pass. With the level.

S20. When the wildcarding layer is not the entire network layer, display the network element tree on the first display area according to the wildcarding level and the preset network-wide node information.

The network-wide node information includes information about each node and its associated relationship in a tree-like structure, for example, which network element groups are included in the entire network, and which network elements are included in each network element group, and each network element includes Which objects are grouped, which objects are grouped under each object group, and the whole network node information is stored in advance on the resource management system. A first display area and a second display area are further disposed on the resource management system, where the first display area is used to display a network element tree, and the second display area is used to display an object tree. The network element tree is used to display tree structure information of each network element group and its network element under the entire network, where the object tree is used to display tree structure information of each object group under the specified network element, or grouping each object and The tree structure information of its object. The first display area may be juxtaposed on the same plane as the second display area.

The information displayed by the network element tree is different under different communication levels, and the different levels are switched and selected on the wildcarding layer selection area, and the network element tree information of different resources can be displayed correspondingly on the first display area. . Selecting the entire network layer in the wildcarding layer selection area, indicating that all the resources in the specified network element type and the specified object type are managed; and selecting the network element grouping layer (the network element grouping can be understood as a parent including at least one network element) A node, for example, a plurality of base stations under the same city node, is configured to manage all the specified network element types and resource types of the specified object type in the specified network element grouping instance (such as a city), and select the network element layer to indicate the specified network element. All the resources of the specified object type are managed by the instance; the object grouping layer is selected to manage the resources of all the specified object types in the specified object grouping instance under the specified network element instance; the object layer is selected to represent the specified network element instance and the specified object. The instance is managed. Among them, an instance is a concrete instantiated object of a type, and a type is a general term for an instance of the same kind of attribute.

S30. Determine an object to be processed according to a selection state of a node selected by the user on the network element tree and the information of the entire network node, where the selection state includes at least selecting the node and all its child nodes, and selecting This node and some of its child nodes, select this node but not all its child nodes.

The node on the network element tree may be a network element grouping node or a network element node. The selection state includes not only selecting the node and all its child nodes, selecting the node and some of its child nodes, selecting the node but not selecting all of the child nodes, and including not selecting the node but selecting all of the child nodes. The node is not selected but some of its children are selected, and the node and all its children are not selected. These six selection states exist in both the network element tree and the object tree. among them,

Select this node and all its children: it means that this node and all the nodes below are selected.

The node is not selected but all its child nodes are selected: it indicates that the node is not selected, and all nodes under this node are selected.

Select this node and its partial sub-nodes: it indicates that this node is selected, and the node in the lower part of this node is selected.

The node is not selected but some of its children are selected: the node is not selected, and the node in the lower part of the node is selected.

The node is selected but all its child nodes are not selected: it indicates that the node is selected, and all nodes under this node are not selected.

The node and all its children are not selected: the node is not selected, and all nodes under this node are not selected.

When the wildcarding layer is a network element grouping layer, the network element tree displays information of all network element groups under the entire network; when the wildcarding layer is a network element layer/object grouping layer/object layer, The network element tree displays information about all network element groups and their network elements in the entire network. When a user selects a network element group or a network element on the network element tree, the default selection state is that the node and all its child nodes are not selected, and the network element grouping is selected as an example. When the user first clicks the left mouse button to select a When the network element is grouped, the selection state of the network element group is changed from the selected node and all its child nodes to the unselected node but all the child nodes are selected. On this basis, if the user clicks the right mouse button, the selection state of the network element grouping is never selected, but all the child nodes are selected to be selected as the selected node and all its child nodes; if the user clicks the left mouse button Then, the selection state of the network element grouping is not selected, but all the child nodes are selected to be unselected and all of the child nodes are not selected. When the selected state of the network element grouping is that the node and all its child nodes are not selected, if the user first clicks the right mouse button to select the network element grouping, the selection state of the network element is never selected and the node is not selected. All child nodes are changed to select this node but not all of its children.

When the user does not select the network element group and directly selects some network elements under the network element group, the selection state of the network element group is correspondingly changed to not selecting the node but selecting some of the child nodes, and the basis is If the user clicks the right mouse button on the network element group, the selection state of the network element group is not selected, but the selected child node is changed to the selected node and some of its child nodes; When the left mouse button is clicked on the network element group, the selection state of the network element group is not selected, but some of the child nodes are selected to be unselected but all the child nodes are selected.

The user can randomly switch between different wildcarding levels in the wildcarding layer selection area. When switching the wildcarding level, the selected node and its selection state in the previous meta-level hierarchical network element tree are switched to the wildcarding level. After successful, it is automatically loaded into the NE tree of the switched wildcard hierarchy.

According to the tree-based selection method of the present invention, the nodes on the resource tree support the display of six selection states, and the different selection states correspondingly determine different objects to be processed selected by the user, and provide a complex tree structure based on the user. The flexible selection of the selection mode of the object to be processed realizes that the object to be processed selected by the user is quickly and accurately determined according to the selection state of the node on the resource tree, which simplifies the operation of selecting a resource on the complex tree structure.

Further, with reference to FIG. 2, a second embodiment of the tree-based selection method of the present invention is proposed based on the first embodiment. In this embodiment, a second display area is displayed alongside the first display area; the above step S30 Includes:

S31. When the wildcarding level is an object grouping layer or an object layer, according to a selection state of the network element node selected by the user on the network element tree and the network-wide node information, on the second display area. Demonstrating an object tree, wherein, when there is a network element node or an object grouping node having no child nodes in the object tree, displaying a selection state of the network element node or the object grouping node in the object tree is not selectable;

When the wildcarding layer is the object grouping layer, all the network element groups and their network elements in the entire network are displayed on the network element tree. After the user selects the network element group or the network element from the network element tree, Determining, by the resource management system, the selected network element and its selection status, and displaying all object groups under the selected network element on the object tree according to the selected state of the selected network element and the information of the entire network node .

When the wildcarding layer is the object layer, all the network element groups and network elements of the entire network are displayed on the network element tree, and after the user selects the network element group or the network element from the network element tree, Determining, by the resource management system, the selected network element and its selection status, and displaying all object groups under the network element on the object tree according to the selected state of the network element and the information of the entire network node Its object.

S32. When receiving an instruction that the user selects an object grouping node or an object node from the object tree, determining an object to be processed according to a selection state of the object grouping node or the object node selected by the user and the network-wide node information.

When the wildcarding layer is an object grouping layer, after the user selects one or more object groups on the object tree, the resource management system selects a group according to a selected state of the selected object and the network-wide node information. It is determined that the object to be processed is all the objects grouped under the selected object.

When the wildcard hierarchy is an object layer, after the user selects one or more objects on the object tree, the resource management system determines to wait according to the selected state of the selected object and the information of the entire network node. The object being processed is the selected object.

Referring to FIG. 3(a), reference numeral 10 denotes the selected node and all its child nodes, numeral 20 denotes that the node is not selected but all its child nodes are selected, reference numeral 30 denotes the selected node and its partial child nodes, and reference numeral 40 denotes The node is not selected but some of its sub-nodes are selected. The reference numeral 50 indicates that the node is selected but all its sub-nodes are not selected. The reference numeral 60 indicates that the node and all its sub-nodes are not selected, and the reference numeral 70 indicates that it is not selectable; b) After the network element in the red frame on the left display area is selected, the object tree on the right side hangs the object under the selected two network elements. Referring to FIG. 4, after the network element in the red frame on the left first display area is selected, the object tree on the right side hangs the object under the selected one network element. Referring to FIG. 5, after the network element in the red frame on the left first display area is selected, the object tree on the right side hangs the object under the selected one network element.

When there is no object grouping under the network element selected in the first display area (that is, there is no object under the network element), the network element mounted on the object tree displays an unselectable state; When there is no object under an object group of the network element on the object tree, the object grouping on the object tree displays an unselectable state. Referring to FIG. 6 , when a network element in the first display area on the left side is selected and there is no object grouping under the network element, the selection state of the network element on the right object tree is not selectable to represent the network element. Unable to expand the display down. On the object tree, when there is no object under the object grouping, the selection state of the object group display on the object tree is not selectable. among them,

Not optional: indicates that there is no configuration object under the selected resource instance, only displayed on the object tree.

It can be understood that after the selection state of the node on the network element tree of the first display area is changed, in the second display area The updated object tree is displayed on the domain.

Further, the above step S30 further includes:

When the wildcarding layer is a network element grouping layer, all the network element groups in the entire network are displayed on the network element tree, and the second display area is grayed out. After the user selects the network element group from the network element tree, the resource management system determines, according to the selected state of the selected network element group and the information of the entire network node, that the object to be processed is all the networks under the selected network element group. The object of the yuan.

When the wildcarding layer is a network element layer, all the network element groups and their network elements in the whole network are displayed on the network element tree, and the second display area is grayed out. After the user selects a network element packet or a network element from the network element tree, the resource management system determines that the to-be-processed object is selected according to the selected network element group or the selected state of the network element and the network-wide node information. All objects under the network element.

After the step S10, the tree-based selection method further includes:

When the wildcarding layer is the entire network layer, the default user selects the objects of all the network elements in the entire network. In this case, the user does not need to select a node from the network element tree or the object tree, and the first display area and the The second display area is grayed out, and the resource management system automatically determines that the object to be processed is an object of all network elements in the entire network.

a network element tree displayed on the first display area for displaying a tree structure of the network element resource instance. The tree model used is a six-state tree because of the selection and display of the six states; the object displayed on the second display area The tree is used to display the object tree structure under the specified NE instance. The tree model used is a seven-state tree because it supports the selection display of seven states. In the present invention, the six-state tree and the seven-state tree are referred to as a seven-state linkage tree. The following will explain the working mode of the seven-state linkage tree according to the different levels of integration selected.

Assume that the network element resources preset in the resource management system have the following levels:

Network element root node

The B3 and B4 network elements have the following object levels:

The network element type selected by the current operation is B, and the object type selection is D, then each wildcard level is displayed as follows:

(1) Whole network layer: At this time, the first display area and the second display area are both grayed out, indicating that all resources under the specified network element type and the specified object type are selected, that is, a total of six nodes D12 to D17.

(2) Network element grouping layer: At this time, the first display area is lit, the object tree is grayed out, and the network element tree exhibits the following structure:

Network element root node

|__A1

|__A2

When the A1 network element grouping is selected, it indicates that all resource instances of the B element type D object type under A are selected, that is, D12 to D15.

(3) NE layer: At this time, the first display area is lit, the object tree is grayed out, and the network element tree displays the following structure:

Network element root node

When a B3 network element is selected, it indicates that all resource instances of the D object type under the B3 network element are selected, that is, D12 to D13.

(4) Object grouping layer: At this time, the first display area is lit, and the object tree is also lit, but the node on the tree is empty. The network element tree shows the following structure:

Network element root node

When the network element B3 is selected, the B3 network element node will be hung on the object tree first, and then all the object grouping nodes under the object tree B3 node. The object tree displays the following structure:

Object tree root node

When the object group C6 is selected, it indicates that all objects under the C6 object group under the B3 network element are selected, that is, D12.

(5) Object layer: At this time, the first display area is lit, and the object tree is also lit, but the node on the tree is empty. The network element tree shows the following structure:

Network element root node

Object tree root node

At this time, any node in D12 to D15 can be selected at will, and which node is selected indicates which resource is operated.

In the telecommunication service, there are hierarchical relationships between resources of the same type. For example, a board is attached to a board, but sometimes only the parent node needs to be operated. Therefore, the present invention proposes three traditional selection states. The node and all its child nodes, the selected node and its partial child nodes, and the selected node but not all of the child nodes are selected to distinguish whether the selected state of the node is included, thereby obtaining six selection states. That is, the node and all its child nodes are selected, the node is not selected but all its child nodes are selected, the node and some of its child nodes are selected, the node is not selected but some of the child nodes are selected, and the node is selected but not selected. All the child nodes, the node and all its child nodes are not selected, so that by selecting an appropriate selection state (selecting the node but not selecting all its child nodes), only the selected node is selected instead of the child node. And the traditional three choice states are unable to achieve this.

Whether the state of the node is selected or unselected is because the same type of resources in the telecommunication service also has a hierarchical relationship. For example, a board is attached to the board, and sometimes only the parent node needs to be operated. This can be done by selecting only the node but not the child node. If there is no similar selection situation, the seven-state tree can also be set as a four-state tree (the node and all its child nodes are selected, the node and some of its child nodes are selected, the node is selected but all its child nodes are not selected. , not optional) to use.

The tree-based selection method proposed by the invention displays different resource tree structures under different generalization levels, the selection state is more abundant, and the selection mode is more flexible, and the user can quickly and intuitively select the object to be processed according to the requirements. The selection method is simple and easy to use.

Further, a third embodiment of the tree-based selection method of the present invention is proposed based on the second embodiment. In this embodiment, when the user selects a node from the network element tree or the object tree, the tree-based selection The method also includes:

When the wildcarding layer is the network element grouping layer or the network element layer, the number of the network elements is selected by the statistical user in the network element tree, and when the number of the collected network elements is greater than the preset first threshold, The first prompt information is displayed, where the first prompt information is used to prompt the user that the number of selected network elements in the network element tree exceeds a maximum number of defined network elements;

The first threshold indicates the number of network elements that the user can select at most in the network element tree, and the second threshold indicates that the user is in the network. The maximum number of objects that can be checked on the object tree. The third threshold indicates the maximum number of NEs that can be mounted on the object tree.

The values of the first threshold, the second threshold, and the third threshold are set according to actual needs. Referring to FIG. 7, when the number of network elements selected by the user on the left cell tree is greater than 3, the system displays the first prompt information, that is, exceeds the set maximum number of network elements. Referring to FIG. 8, when the number of objects selected by the user on the right object tree is greater than 10, the system displays the second prompt information, that is, exceeds the set maximum number of measurement objects. Referring to FIG. 9, when the user is in the network element layer (selecting to the network element), the user selects three network elements. When the user switches the wildcard level to the object layer (2G switching measurement), the system according to the set object. The maximum number of NEs that can be mounted on the tree is 2 to display the third prompt information, that is, the measurement object tree under the two network elements can be loaded at most; when the set third threshold is greater than the first threshold, When the allocation level is switched from the network element layer to the object grouping layer or the object layer, the number of the largest network elements that can be selected by the user in the network element tree is smaller than the maximum number of network elements that can be mounted on the object tree. The system does not prompt that the number of NEs loaded into the object tree exceeds the set value.

The tree-based selection method proposed by the present invention proposes three selection restriction conditions when the user selects a network element or an object, avoids occupying too many resources while operating too many resource nodes, and restricts the operation of the user in security. Within a reasonable range.

The present invention further provides a resource management system. As shown in FIG. 10, a schematic diagram of a functional module of a first embodiment of the resource management system of the present invention is shown. The resource management system includes:

The receiving module 100 is configured to receive an instruction that the user selects a wildcard hierarchy;

The processing module 200 is configured to determine, according to the instruction, a wildcarding level selected by the user when receiving an instruction that the user selects a wildcarding level;

Taking resource modeling of telecommunication services as an example, telecommunication resources are classified into network elements and objects (also called components). Generally, network elements are relatively specific devices, such as base stations, power supplies, routers, etc., and objects are some A small device or virtual device, such as a board or a cell. Before managing a resource, first specify the type of the device to be managed. Generally, at least two types are included, one is a network element type and the other is an object type. The user needs to operate on a certain device, which is represented in the resource management system, that is, an object type under a certain network element type.

The wildcarding hierarchy is used to indicate the level by which the user selects resources in the resource tree, and can be divided into five hierarchical types, which are a full network layer, a network element grouping layer, a network element layer, an object grouping layer, and an object layer. A wildcarding hierarchical selection area is set in the resource management system, and the wildcarding hierarchical selection area may be configured with a plurality of different wildcarding levels, and each of the wildcarding levels belongs to only one of the five hierarchical types. And different wildcard levels can belong to the same level type. The user selects any one of the wildcarding levels in the pull-down menu of the wildcarding layer selection area. At this time, the receiving module 100 of the resource management system receives an instruction triggered by the user selecting the wildcarding level, and the processing module 200 is configured according to the The instructions determine a pass level selected by the user.

The display module 300 is configured to display the network element tree on the first display area according to the wildcarding level and the preset network-wide node information when the wildcarding layer is not the entire network layer;

The information of the entire network node includes information of each node and its associated relationship after the resources of the entire network are hierarchically organized according to a tree structure. For example, which network element groups are included in the entire network, which network elements are included in each network element group, which object groups are included in each network element, and which objects are under each object group, and the whole network node information is pre-stored in the resource management system. on. The display module 300 of the resource management system is further provided with a first display area for displaying a network element tree and a second display area for displaying an object tree. The network element tree is used to display tree structure information of each network element group and its network element under the entire network, where the object tree is used to display tree structure information of each object group under the specified network element, or grouping each object and The tree structure information of its object. The first display area may overlap or intersect with the second display area, or may be juxtaposed on the same plane.

The information displayed by the network element tree is different according to different communication levels, and different levels are switched on the wildcarding layer selection area, and different resources can be displayed correspondingly on the first display area of the display module 300. NE tree information. Selecting the entire network layer in the wildcarding layer selection area, indicating that all the resources in the specified network element type and the specified object type are managed; and selecting the network element grouping layer (the network element grouping can be understood as a parent including at least one network element) A node, for example, a plurality of base stations under the same city node, is configured to manage all the specified network element types and resource types of the specified object type in the specified network element grouping instance (such as a city), and select the network element layer to indicate the specified network element. All the resources of the specified object type are managed by the instance; the object grouping layer is selected to manage the resources of all the specified object types in the specified object grouping instance under the specified network element instance; the object layer is selected to represent the specified network element instance and the specified object. The instance is managed. Among them, an instance is a concrete instantiated object of a type, and a type is a general term for an instance of the same kind of attribute.

The processing module 200 is configured to determine an object to be processed according to a selection state of a node selected by the user on the network element tree and the information of the entire network node, where the selection state includes at least the selected node and All child nodes, select this node and some of its child nodes, select this node but not all its child nodes.

When the wildcarding layer is a network element grouping layer, the network element tree displays information of all network element groups under the entire network; when the wildcarding layer is a network element layer/object grouping layer/object layer, Displaying all network element groups under the entire network in the network element tree and Information about the network element. In the processing module 200, when a user selects a network element group or a network element on the network element tree, the default selection state is that the node and all its child nodes are not selected, and the network element grouping is selected as an example. When the user first clicks the left mouse button to select a network element group, the selection state of the network element group is changed from the selected node and all its child nodes to the unselected node but all the child nodes are selected. On this basis, if the user clicks the right mouse button, the selection state of the network element grouping is never selected, but all the child nodes are selected to be selected as the selected node and all its child nodes; if the user clicks the left mouse button Then, the selection state of the network element grouping is not selected, but all the child nodes are selected to be unselected and all of the child nodes are not selected. When the selected state of the network element grouping is that the node and all its child nodes are not selected, if the user first clicks the right mouse button to select the network element grouping, the selection state of the network element is never selected and the node is not selected. All child nodes are changed to select this node but not all of its children.

According to the resource management system of the present invention, the nodes on the resource tree support the display of the six selection states, and the different selection states correspondingly determine different objects to be processed selected by the user, thereby providing the user with a flexible selection based on the complex tree structure. The selection method of the object to be processed realizes that the object to be processed selected by the user is quickly and accurately determined according to the selection state of the node on the resource tree, and the operation of selecting the resource on the complex tree structure is simplified.
