Use cases Concept and use cases Process

In software engineering we have the famous use cases.

On a college assignment I come across the following:

UCC - Concept use cases
CPU - Process use cases
UCR - Cases of use of Relay

UCR - would be the use cases related to reporting.

But the UCC and the UCP??

What is the purpose of making this separation of use cases?

It wouldn’t all be the same?

I did a lot of research and found nothing on these acronyms, everything leads me the case of normal use.

UCP refers me to "use case point". UCC never seen... "Case of complex use", maybe? Both would be, for me, related to point counting by function and not with software modeling. Is there any reference to people who contextualize these acronyms?

@Caffé, I have a work where it is requested cases of use of concept and cases of use of processes, I gave a vast searched by the web and also found nothing.. this would be software engineering. In the end I think it’s all the same thing..

Interesting, I’ll even try to find out because I’ve always seen the use cases in a generalized way, without these subdivisions.

Short Answer: The difficulty in finding material on the subject is because there is not even this differentiation in the literature.

Long Answer Edited with the question edit.

Really all this is use case. But in this exercise, they are logically divided into their project, grouping use cases by types.

For example, a possible interpretation of this separation:

The cases of concept use, are those that do not exist in practice, they exist only in thought. In this case, there are two that would apply. For example, searching for a patient’s record facilitates two other use cases, but in practice, it is not a use case that some actor initiates. In practice it is within two other use cases and separation only simplifies modeling.

Cases of process use, on the other hand, would be those that facilitate or standardize a process. For example, to mark or cancel a query. This type of use case can generate data for reporting use cases.

And the cases of report use, would be the use cases that generate the report itself. For example, the use case "Consult Schedule", would allow a doctor to see a report based on the process of scheduling and cancelling appointments.
