Patent ID: 7412688

Claim:
A workflow defining system, comprising: a state setting module, which at least sets a request form generating state, a debug department manager state, and a debug engineer state; an instruction generating module, which generates a sending instruction, a receiving instruction and a returning instruction, and a debug completing instruction for the request form generating state, the debug department manager state, and the debug engineer state, respectively; and a path generating module, which generates a first path, a second path, a third path, and a fourth path according to the sending instruction, the receiving instruction, the returning instruction, and the debug completing instruction, wherein the first path points from the sending instruction to the debug department manager state, the second path points from the receiving instruction to the debug engineer state, the third path points from the returning instruction to the request form generating state and the fourth path points from the debug completing instruction to a generated fourth state or a work finishing state, wherein personnel of the debug request form generating department select instructions generated for the request form generating state, for execution, only on a first terminal device, a manager of a debug department selects instructions generated for the debug department manager state, for execution, only on a second terminal device, and a debug engineer selects instructions generated for the debug engineer state, for execution, only on a third terminal device.
