Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and system for integrating a dynamic scene Database (DB) with a Human Machine Interface (HMI) application. The method comprises receiving a scene specification. The scene specification comprises scene data and one or more parameters associated with the scene data. Further, a data pool and a design interface are generated based on the scene specification and a business logic associated with the scene data. Thereafter, a dynamic scene DB is developed based on the one or more parameters, the data pool and the design interface. Furthermore, the scene data in the dynamic scene DB is updated when the scene data in the scene specification is updated. Lastly, the dynamic scene DB is integrated with a HMI application for displaying a view. The HMI application retrieves the updated scene data from the dynamic scene DB for displaying an updated view.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and system for integrating a dynamic Business Logic (BL) Database (DB) with a Human Machine Interface (HMI) application. The method comprises receiving a Business Logic (BL) specification. The BL specification comprises BL data and one or more parameters associated with the BL data. Further, one or more state charts of the BL data are generated from the BL specification. Thereafter, a dynamic BL DB is developed based on the one or more parameters and the one or more state charts. Furthermore, the BL data in the dynamic BL DB is updated when the BL data in the BL specification is updated.
