Please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a flow chart of an ESOP-based data management method shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The data management method includes steps S110 to S130, which are described in detail as follows:

S110. Obtain the basic information and configuration file of the target object, the basic information includes the object identifier, the configuration file is used to describe the fund trust business established by the target object as the beneficiary, and the configuration file includes the asset allocation identifier.

In this embodiment, the object is the entrusting party, and the target object is the specific entrusting party; multiple entrusting parties can be stored in the business system, and the entrusting party's basic information and configuration files need to be obtained, where the basic information is used to describe the entrusting party's basic circumstances, such as the entrusting party’s name, contact information, etc.; the configuration file is used to describe the fund trust business established by the beneficiary as the target object. A trust business that manages, uses or disposes of.

It is worth noting that the basic information in this embodiment contains the object identifier, which is unique and used to identify the object, for example, the object identifier is the entrusting party ID (Identity document); the configuration file contains The asset allocation identifier set by the business. The asset allocation identifier is unique and is used to identify which fund trust business it is. The asset allocation identifier is the asset source identifier of the entrusting party, that is, after the entrusting party entrusts the fund trust business The delivered funds are identified through unique identification processing, for example, the asset configuration identification is the configuration ID.

In this embodiment, the basic information and configuration files of all objects are stored in the storage of the business system. When the target information of a specific object needs to be displayed, the basic information and configuration files of all objects can be read from the storage, and the selection Basic information and profiles of a target audience.

S120. Send the object identifier and the asset configuration identifier to the data system, so that the data system can match the local incentive information with the object identifier and the asset configuration identifier, and determine the target object and the target information corresponding to the target object; the target information includes information related to the fund trust business Corresponding incentive data.

In this embodiment, the business system and the data system communicate through a wired or wireless network. When the business system needs to communicate with the data system, the business system sends an HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol, Hypertext Transfer Prtcl) request, request parameters For object identification and asset configuration identification, the data system receives HTTP requests, extracts request parameters, and verifies local incentive information with object identification and asset configuration identification. Wherein, in an example of this embodiment, the local incentive information includes a local identifier, and the process of the data system verifying the object identifier and the asset configuration identifier includes: the data system verifies whether the local identifier includes the object identifier, and when it is determined that the local identifier includes the object identifier , further verify whether the local identifier contains the asset configuration identifier, and when it is determined that the local identifier includes the asset configuration identifier, it means that the verification is passed; when the local identifier does not include the object identifier, there is no need to verify the asset configuration identifier, and the data system can send The business system returns an object identifier error message; when the local identifier includes the object identifier but the local identifier does not include the asset configuration identifier, the data system may also return a configuration identifier error message to the business system.

In some examples, the business system receives the object identifier error information returned by the data system, and the object identifier error information is generated when the data system determines that the local identifier does not include the object identifier; or, receives the configuration identifier error information returned by the data system, and the configuration identifier The information is generated by the data system when it determines that the local identification includes the object identification and the local identification does not include the asset configuration identification.

In another example of this embodiment, the process of the data system verifying the object ID and the asset configuration ID includes: when the data system verifies that the local ID includes both the object ID and the asset configuration ID, but the object ID and the asset configuration ID are in the data system When the same object does not correspond to the same object, the data system can also return an error message to the business system, so that the business system can verify the relationship between the object ID and the asset configuration ID.

In some examples, the business system is used to receive the error information returned by the data system, and the error information is used to generate when the data system determines that the local identifier includes the object identifier and the asset configuration identifier, and the object identifier and the asset configuration identifier do not correspond to the same object.

In this embodiment, when the data system passes the verification of the object ID and the asset configuration ID, it identifies which object is the business system object according to the object ID, and matches the target information corresponding to the object in the data system according to the asset configuration ID, where the target information Corresponding to the fund trust business.

It is worth noting that the local identifier is stored in the memory of the data system, which contains all the identifiers in the data system, and the target information of each object only exists in the data system, so the data system can match according to the object identifier and asset configuration identifier After receiving the target information, the target information is sent to the business system for display.

In an example of this embodiment, the process of the data system verifying the object identifier and the asset configuration identifier includes: the local incentive information includes all incentive data, and the data system is used to determine the basic information based on the object identifier, and determine When obtaining the configuration file, determine the incentive data that matches the local basic information and the configuration file, and the target object corresponding to the incentive data from all the incentive data.

The data system can find the basic information stored locally according to the object identifier, and can find the configuration file stored locally according to the asset configuration identifier. Each incentive data corresponds to a basic information and configuration file. When the basic information and configuration file are found , then the unique corresponding incentive data can be further matched from all the incentive data, and the associated target object can be determined according to the incentive data.

In an embodiment of the present application, when matching the unique corresponding incentive data from all incentive data according to the basic information and configuration files, the following steps can be taken:

Normalize the information in the basic information, configuration files, and incentive data to obtain the corresponding standard basic information, standard configuration information, and standard incentive information;

Combine standard basic information and standard configuration information to generate combined information;

Determine the degree of correlation between the combined information and the standard incentive information, and determine the target incentive data, that is, the unique corresponding incentive data, from all the incentive data based on the correlation.

Specifically, the information in the basic information, configuration files, and incentive data is replaced by common characters and preset character correspondences to obtain character strings of the same type, and then normalized to obtain corresponding standard information.

The correlation between the combined information and the standard incentive information is determined by the following formula:

Among them, X represents the combined information, which is composed of characters x _i ; Y represents the standard incentive information, composed of characters y _i ; i represents the character identifier, and n represents the number of characters corresponding to the longest information in the combined information and the standard incentive information. After the correlation between the combined information and the standard incentive information is calculated, the highest correlation is determined, and the incentive data corresponding to the highest correlation is used as the target incentive data, that is, the unique corresponding incentive data.

Of course, when the object identifier and/or asset configuration identifier is wrong, or the data system does not have the basic information corresponding to the object identifier or the configuration file corresponding to the asset configuration identifier locally, the data system cannot determine the basic information and configuration file, and the data system cannot Associated with the corresponding incentive data, at this time the data system can return an error message to remind the business system.

S130. Display the target information returned by the data system.

The business system receives the target information and displays the target information so that users can view the target information.

In this embodiment, the business system sends the object ID and asset configuration ID of the object to the data system, and then the data system verifies the object ID and asset configuration ID, determines the target object according to the object ID, and determines the fund trust information based on the asset configuration ID. The target information corresponding to the business, the target information includes incentive data, and then the business system displays the incentive data returned by the data system, realizing the association between the business system and the data system, and enabling the business system to display through object identification and asset configuration identification The target information that this system does not have, realizes the accurate docking of the data of the business system and the data system, and improves the consistency and management efficiency of the data of each system.

As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a flowchart in an exemplary embodiment before step S110 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2. Before obtaining the basic information and configuration files of the target object, the data management method further includes:

S1111. Enter the object name and attribute information of the target object to create a target account of the target object.

In this embodiment, the business system will enter the information of the target object, and create a target account of the target object on the business system, so as to facilitate subsequent management of the target object by establishing the target account. Wherein, the information of the target object includes the object name and attribute information of the target object. The object name is, for example, the company name. The attribute information is used to describe the characteristics of the target object. The attribute information includes the contact information of the target object. For example, the contact information includes the company Correspondence address, office address, contact name, position, office phone number and email address, etc.; this attribute information also includes the target object's listing status (listed or not), stock status (stock name, code, etc.). It can be understood that the created target account includes the object name and attributes.

In one example, as shown in Figure 4, the business system will provide an account display interface. The account display interface includes the existing target account and the corresponding information viewing control of the target account, and jumps to the account information viewing interface through the information viewing control , the specific information of the target account can be viewed in the account information viewing interface; the account display interface also includes an account creation control, and the user can create an account by triggering the account creation control, and the account display interface will switch to the account creation page, as shown in As shown in Figure 5, the account creation interface includes a form control, and the object name and attribute information of the target object can be entered by triggering the form control. After the object name and attribute information are entered, the target object can be created by triggering the "Create" control target account. Among them, when the "create" control is triggered, the account creation interface will jump to the account information viewing interface.

S1112. Generate a unique object identifier for the target account.

In an example of this embodiment, when the target account is successfully established, the business system automatically generates a unique object identifier for the target account to distinguish each object. The object identifier can be a company ID, and the encoding rule is EBT20210622001, and EBT is fixed The prefix letters represent the employee equity incentive trust. The middle 8 digits are the year, month, and day when the account was created in the business system, and the last 3 digits are the natural cycle of creating the account in the business system, which increases naturally from 001.

In another example of this embodiment, a third-party system can also generate a unique identifier for the target account, and the third-party system sends the unique identifier to the business system, and the business system encrypts and generates the unique identifier based on the unique identifier generated by the third-party system. Unique object identifier; the unique identifier generated by a third party is encrypted to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the unique identifier.

S1113. Use the object name, attribute information, and object identifier as basic information.

In this embodiment, the object name, attribute image, and object ID are used as basic information. In an example, after the "Create" control is triggered to indicate that the target account is successfully created, the business system will automatically generate a unique object ID. At this time The account creation interface will be adjusted to the account information viewing interface, and the account information viewing interface will display the basic information of the target object, that is, the object name, attribute image and object ID will be displayed.

It is understandable that after the target account is created for the target object, the basic information of the target account can also be modified; since there are multiple object accounts in the business system, the account can also be searched, specifically through the basic information of the object ID, or object name to search to see a specific object.

In this embodiment, after the target account is established for the target object, the business system can obtain the object identifier of the target object by reading the basic information.

As shown in Figure 6, Figure 6 is a flowchart in an exemplary embodiment before step S110 in the embodiment shown in Figure 2, before obtaining the basic information and configuration files of the target object, the ESOP-based data management method Also includes:

S1121. Enter the relevant information of the fund trust business and the securities account information.

In this embodiment, after the target account is created for the target object, it is necessary to create a fund trust business for the target object. At this time, it is necessary to enter the relevant information of the fund trust business and the securities account information, wherein the relevant information of the fund trust business includes funds Basic business information of the trust business, such as business name, business ID, business type (support options/restricted stock unit RSU), business effective date, business termination date, and whether to establish the British Virgin Islands (The British Virgin Islands, BVI) company. Securities account information includes securities account name, account type, business identifier, object login identifier, etc., where the account type can be BVI or trust (BVI means that the account is established for a BVI company, and trust means that it does not open a BVI company), and the object The login ID refers to the ID for the target object to log into the business system, and the business ID is the business ID of the securities account, which is used to identify the securities account.

In this embodiment, the relevant information of the fund trust business also includes BVI information. When the "whether to establish a BVI" in the basic business information, if the input is "yes", the BVI information needs to be input, and when the input is "no ", there is no need to enter; the BVI information includes BVI establishment fee, BVI management fee, establishment time, etc.

In one example, as shown in Figure 7, the business system will provide a fund trust business display interface, which includes the existing fund trust business of the target object and the business viewing controls corresponding to the fund trust business, through The business viewing control jumps to the fund trust business information viewing interface, and the fund trust business information viewing interface can view the relevant information of the fund trust business and the securities account information; the fund trust business display interface also includes a new business control, and the user can pass This business creates a new control to create a new fund trust business. At this time, the fund trust business display interface will jump to the new business page, as shown in Figure 8. The new business page includes a form control, and funds can be entered by triggering the form control After the relevant information of the trust business and the securities account information are entered, the fund trust business of the target object is created by triggering the "Add" control. Among them, when the "add" control is triggered, the new business page will jump to the fund trust business information viewing interface.

S1122. Enter the asset allocation identifier from the data system for the target object in the securities account information, where the asset allocation identifier corresponds to the fund trust business in the data system.

In this embodiment, after the fund trust business of the target object is established by entering the relevant information of the fund trust business and the securities account information, the business system needs to enter the asset allocation identification for the target object, wherein the asset allocation identification is from the data system. It can be a unique identifier automatically generated by the data system, and the asset allocation identifier corresponds to the fund trust business in the data system, the data system sends the asset allocation identifier to the business system, and the business system automatically enters the asset allocation identifier in the securities account information .

S1123. Generate a configuration file according to the relevant information of the fund trust business and the securities account information entered into the asset configuration identifier.

In this embodiment, after the asset allocation identification is entered in the securities account information, a configuration file is generated according to the relevant information of the fund trust business and the securities account information, and then the business can read the configuration file to obtain the target object's fund allocation identification .

It can be understood that after the configuration file of the target object is generated, the information in the configuration file can also be modified; since the target object can have multiple configuration files, the configuration files can also be searched, specifically by business name or Asset configuration IDs are searched to view specific configuration files.

It is worth noting that the securities account information includes business identifiers and object login identifiers, of which asset configuration identifiers correspond to business identifiers and object login identifiers, that is, an asset configuration identifier corresponds to a single business identifier & a single object login identifier; in order to improve the data system The security of the transmission can also be verified according to the service identification and the object login identification and the data system. The data management method provided in this embodiment also includes:

Send the service ID and the object login ID to the data system, so that the data system will suspend returning the target information when verifying that the local incentive information does not match the service ID and the object login ID.

In some examples, the local incentive information includes a local identifier, and the data system is used to determine that the local incentive information and the service identifier Matches the object login ID.

Wherein, in an example, after the business system and the data system are successfully connected and the data is synchronized, the business system sends the business identifier and the object login identifier to the data system, and the data system also performs consistency verification on the business identifier and the object login identifier. verification, that is, the data system verifies whether the local identifier includes the business identifier and the object login identifier. If the object login ID matches, the data system will continue to send the target information to the business system to continue data synchronization; when the data system verifies that the local ID does not include the business ID and object ID, the data system will suspend sending the target information to the business system. , the data system can send identification error information to the business system.

In another example, the business system may also send the object ID and asset configuration ID to the data system. After the data system passes the verification, it returns a connection success message to the business system. At this time, the business system sends the business ID and the object login ID to To the data system, the data system sends the target information to the business system after verifying the service ID and the object login ID.

In another embodiment, the business identifier and the object login identifier are sent to the data system, so that when the data system verifies that the local identifier does not include the business identifier and the object login identifier, the data connection between the data system and the business system will not be affected this time. and update, but return a reminder message, the business system will display the reminder message "The business ID and object login ID are inconsistent with the data system, please verify".

It is understandable that since the business ID and the object login ID are entered in the business system; after the business ID and the object login ID are entered in the business system, the business system will first send the business ID and the object login ID to the data system , so that the data system stores the service ID and object login ID.

It should be noted that in this embodiment, the target information also includes beneficiary information corresponding to each beneficiary, and the beneficiary information is associated with the incentive data; before displaying the target information returned by the data system, the information provided in this embodiment based on ESOP's approach to data management also includes:

Read the beneficiary information from the data system according to the incentive data returned by the data system; or, receive the beneficiary information returned by the data system and the incentive data at the same time.

The beneficiary information includes the name of the beneficiary, the company to which the beneficiary belongs, the certificate number, contact information, etc. Since the beneficiary information is associated with the incentive data, in an example, after the data system returns the incentive data, the business system Read the beneficiary information from the data system. For example, after the data system returns the incentive data, the business system sends a beneficiary information request, and the data system sends the beneficiary information to the business system; for another example, after the data system returns the incentive data, the business system and the data The system has established data docking, and the business directly reads the beneficiary information associated with the incentive data from the data system.

In another example, after the data system determines the incentive data, the data system determines the associated beneficiary information according to the incentive data, and returns the incentive data and the beneficiary information at the same time.

It should be noted that the incentive data in this embodiment includes the number of incentives awarded to each beneficiary by the target object and the incentive attribution information of each beneficiary. The number of incentives, for example, the number of incentives issued by company A to employee 1 is 300 shares, and the number of incentives issued by company A to employee 2 is 6000 shares; the incentive attribution information of each beneficiary refers to the incentive account of each beneficiary, The incentive attribution information includes at least one of vested incentives, effective vested incentives and pending incentives; vested incentives refer to the amount of incentives after maturity (that is, incentives that have been credited), pending vesting incentives refer to The number of immature incentives (that is, the number of incentives that have not yet been credited), the effective vested incentives refer to: vested - vested and canceled incentives, and the vested and canceled incentives are credited and the deduction has been cancelled. number of incentives. In some examples, the number of incentives granted by the target object to a certain beneficiary = already vested + to-be-vested + cancellation to-be-vested.

In this embodiment, the target information includes the beneficiary information of all beneficiaries, and the incentive data corresponding to each beneficiary information. Since the beneficiary information and incentive data of all beneficiaries are displayed, the amount of data is large, and this embodiment can By screening and displaying the beneficiary information and incentive data of some beneficiaries, at this time, displaying the target information includes:

According to the screening information carried in the beneficiary screening instruction, select the target beneficiary that matches the screening information from all beneficiaries; display the beneficiary information corresponding to the target beneficiary on the display interface, and display the target beneficiary granted to the fund trust business Incentive quantity and incentive attribution information of target beneficiaries.

It can be that the user sends a beneficiary screening instruction through an operation, and the beneficiary screening instruction includes the screening information of the target beneficiary, and then the business system can receive the beneficiary screening instruction and select from all beneficiaries according to the screening information of the target beneficiary. The target beneficiary that matches the screening information is screened out; the screening information includes but is not limited to the name of the beneficiary, the company to which the beneficiary belongs, the certificate number, contact information, etc.; Go to the beneficiary screening instruction carrying the beneficiary name "Niu Niu", and find the beneficiary named "Niu Niu" from the names of all beneficiaries, so as to determine "Niu Niu" as the target beneficiary; jointly displayed in a display interface The beneficiary information corresponding to the target beneficiary, as well as the number of incentives granted to the target beneficiary by the target object in the fund trust business and the incentive attribution information; it is understandable that the target object can have multiple fund trust businesses, and one fund trust There are multiple beneficiaries corresponding to the business, and a beneficiary can appear in multiple fund trust businesses. Therefore, here is the number of incentives granted to the target beneficiary by the target object in the fund trust business corresponding to the asset allocation identifier and Incentive attribution information. For example, as shown in Figure 9, the display interface shown in Figure 9 shows the beneficiary information of the beneficiary Niu Niu, and the incentive data of the beneficiary Niu Niu in the fund trust business of "Plan A".

It can be understood that when a display interface displays beneficiary information of the target beneficiary and incentive attribution information of the target beneficiary, at least one of vested incentives, effective vested incentives and incentives to be vested may be displayed.

It is worth noting that the business data and the data system in this embodiment have been associated with data. When the data transmission in the data system changes, the business data will also receive the data change synchronously. Therefore, in step S130 in this embodiment Afterwards, ESOP-based data management methods also include:

When any parameter contained in the target information displayed in the display interface changes in the data system, the data update message automatically returned by the data system is received, and the data update message contains the updated target information; the updated target information is displayed in the display interface target information. The data update message automatically returned by the data system will be updated in real time by the business system, so that the data of the business system and the data system can be kept in sync at any time.

In some examples, changed parameters are marked.
