Format conversion method and device of special interface tool

Abstract

The invention discloses format conversion method and device of a special interface tool, which are used for realizing the conversion of widget among arbitrary formats. The widget format conversion method comprises the following steps of: selecting a corresponding target template from a template base according to a target format to be converted of a source widget, wherein each template in the template base is used for describing file information of a widget in a corresponding format; unpacking the source widget to obtain a source widget file set; carrying out format recognition according to the source widget file set to determine a source format, and selecting a corresponding source template from the template base according to the source format; carrying out correlation on the file information with the same semanteme in the source template and the target template according to a widget body, and generating a target widget file set on the basis of the source widget file set; and packing the target widget file set to obtain a target widget, wherein the widget body is used for describing the semanteme correlation of the file information among each template in the template base. The invention reduces the development cost of the widget and improves the development efficiency of the widget and code reuse ratio.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mobile communication, in particular to a format conversion technology of a special interface tool (widget). Background technique [0002] Widget (special interface tool) is a lightweight web application program, used to achieve a single function and to quickly and directly access the content on the Web2.0 or Internet (Internet), the user installs the engine responsible for running the widget After that the widget can be used. In order to standardize the development process of widgets, W3C (World Wide Web Consortium, World Wide Web Consortium) defines widgets: a widget is an interactive single-target application program, and a widget is used to display or update local or Web data, and Packaged in a certain format to facilitate downloading and installation on the user's PC (Personal Computer, personal computer) or mobile terminal. [0003] Different from applications on traditional PCs and mobile terminals, widgets...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] For users with professional domain knowledge and programming experience, the widget format can be converted manually, but the conversion efficiency and accuracy are relatively low, and most users cannot realize the widget format due to lack of professional domain knowledge and programming experience convert

[0006] In the prior art, widget format conversion tools are provided: Amnesty Generator and Widgetop, but they can only convert widgets with a specific format to another specific format, for example, Amnesty Generator can only convert Google gadgets to Windows Vista side Widgets in the bar, Widgetop can only convert widgets running on Apple Dashboard to Web widgets that can run on web pages

It can be seen that the extensibility of the existing widget format conversion tools is low, and the conversion of widgets between arbitrary formats cannot be realized, which makes the development cost of widgets high, and the development efficiency and code reuse rate of widgets are low
