Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of data processing, and in particular to electronic devices, methods, media, and programs capable of exporting user-readable restricted files. Background Technology

[0002] During online testing, each test station needs to test and evaluate thousands of items. Sometimes, quality control engineers or suppliers need to know the settings of the constraint documents and perform cross-checks. However, since all the constraint documents are only readable with the help of specific software, and such software is unavailable to engineers who are not operating in the testing area, knowing the settings of the constraint documents and performing cross-checks is not feasible for quality control engineers or suppliers.

[0003] Existing software's "print" function can print out some data, but it still requires a significant amount of processing to make the data readable. Engineers need to be proficient in Excel to handle the data, and the probability of errors or data loss during processing is high. Furthermore, due to the lack of readable files and standard templates, comparing constraint files between different manufacturers is a massive undertaking. The only method is for one person to read the data while another compares it one by one; this method is inflexible in comparison and conversion, and carries the risk of quality issues due to incorrect constraint checks leading to incorrect settings.

[0004] Therefore, it is desirable to provide a method and device capable of exporting user-readable restricted files. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This disclosure provides an electronic device, method, medium, and program for exporting user-readable restricted files.

[0006] Some aspects of this disclosure relate to an electronic device capable of exporting user-readable restricted files, comprising: a memory having instructions stored thereon; and a processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory such that the electronic device performs the following operations: presenting a graphical user interface to a user and displaying instructions on the graphical user interface guiding the user to the next step; receiving a filename input by the user; searching a database for a file with the same name as the received filename in response to the user activating an interactive button associated with the electronic device; and after finding the file with the same name in the database, decompressing and decoding data packets of the file with the same name and converting them into a file in a user-readable format.

[0007] Other aspects of this disclosure relate to a method for exporting a user-readable restricted file via an electronic device, comprising: presenting a graphical user interface to a user and displaying instructions on the graphical user interface guiding the user to the next step; receiving a filename input by the user; searching a database for a file with the same name as the received filename in response to the user activating an interactive button associated with the electronic device; and, after finding the file with the same name in the database, decompressing and decoding the data packets of the file with the same name and converting them into a file in a user-readable format.

In some embodiments where network interface 21 uses a wireless protocol, network interface 21 may also include one or more antennas (not shown) or circuit nodes for coupling to multiple antennas. Electronic device 100 can provide an internal network to user equipment through network interface 21.

[0022] Power supply 22 provides power to the internal components of electronic device 100 via internal bus 27. Power supply 22 may be a self-contained power source, such as a battery pack, whose interface is powered by a charger connected to a socket (e.g., directly or via another device). Power supply 22 may also include removable, replaceable rechargeable batteries, such as NiCd, NiMH, Li-ion, or Li-pol batteries. External network interface 23 may include various network interface cards and circuitry implemented in software and / or hardware to enable communication between electronic device 100 and an external network provider (e.g., an Internet service provider or a multi-system operator (MSO)).

[0023] Memory 24 includes a single memory or one or more memories or storage locations, including but not limited to random access memory (RAM), dynamic random access memory (DRAM), static random access memory (SRAM), read-only memory (ROM), EPROM, EEPROM, flash memory, logic blocks of an FPGA, hard disk, or any other layer of a memory hierarchy. Memory 24 can be used to store any type of instructions, software, or algorithms, including software 25 used to control the general functions and operation of electronic device 100.

[0024] Processor 26 controls the general operation of electronic device 100 and performs management functions related to other devices (such as user equipment) in the network. Processor 26 may include, but is not limited to, a CPU, hardware microprocessor, hardware processor, multi-core processor, single-core processor, microcontroller, application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), DSP, or other similar processing device, capable of executing any type of instructions, algorithms, or software for controlling the operation and functions of electronic device 100 according to embodiments described in this disclosure.

Processor 26 may include, for example, portions or circuits of an integrated circuit (IC), a single processor core, an entire processor core, a single processor, a programmable hardware device such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and / or a system comprising multiple processors.

[0025] The internal bus 27 can be used to establish communication between components of the electronic device 100 (e.g., 20-22, 24 and 26).

[0026] Although specific components are used to describe electronic device 100, different components may be present in alternative embodiments. For example, electronic device 100 may include one or more additional controllers, memory, network interfaces, external network interfaces, and / or user interfaces. Additionally, one or more of these components may not be present in electronic device 100. Furthermore, in some embodiments, electronic device 100 may include... Figure 1 One or more components not shown in the diagram. Additionally, although in Figure 1 Individual components are shown, but in some embodiments, some or all of a given component may be integrated into one or more other components in the electronic device 100. Furthermore, the circuits and components in the electronic device 100 may be implemented using any combination of analog and / or digital circuitry.

[0027] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating an exemplary method 200 for exporting a user-readable restricted file according to embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. This method 200 can, for example, be derived by... Figure 1 The illustrated electronic device 100 performs this action, and according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the electronic device 100 can be an application running on a computer system. Reference will now be made to... Figures 1-6 The present disclosure will describe in detail an electronic device according to embodiments thereof and a method for using the electronic device.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in step S201, a graphical user interface (GUI) is presented to the user, and instructions guiding the user to the next step are displayed on the GUI. According to an example embodiment of the invention, the electronic device 100 can be an application running on a computer system, export_excel_dfile.exe, which represents exporting a readable, limited file in Excel format. In this case, the GUI presented to the user can be a DOS window, and the instructions displayed on the GUI guiding the user to the next step are as follows: Figure 3 The prompt asks the user to enter the filename they want to export and then press Enter to execute.

[0029] Those skilled in the art will understand that the application export_excel_dfile.exe is only one example of electronic device 100, which can also be a software implementation, hardware implementation, or a combination of software and hardware implementation such as export_word_dfile.exe and export_txt_dfile.exe.

[0030] In step S202, the filename input by the user is received.

[0031] In step S203, in response to the user activating the interactive button associated with the electronic device, a file with the same name as the received filename is searched in the database. Again, taking the electronic device 100 performing method 200 as the application export_excel_dfile.exe running on a computer system as an example, in the case of a DOS window graphical user interface, the interactive button could be the computer's Enter key. That is, in response to the user pressing the Enter key, a file with the same name as the received filename is searched in the database. Similarly, those skilled in the art should understand that the DOS window and the Enter key are merely examples of graphical user interfaces and interactive buttons, and not limitations.

[0032] In step S204, after a file with the same name is found in the database, the data packet of the file with the same name is decompressed and decoded and converted into a file in a user-readable format.

[0033] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after decompressing, decoding and converting the data packet of the found file with the same name into a user-readable format, the graphical user interface displays the successful export of the file and the time taken, and displays instructions to guide the user to the next step, so as to improve the user experience.

[0034] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the total time required to export each restricted file by the method of the present invention is less than 3 seconds.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the filename of the successfully exported file is the filename entered by the user.

[0036] like Figure 4 The diagram illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a user-readable restricted file successfully exported. The user inputs a file named "D_Version2__B48A_20M1_20211115_104339.003" and selects Excel as the file format. The graphical user interface displays that the file was successfully exported and that the export time was 1.7 seconds. It also provides instructions on how to continue exporting other files and how to close the tool. The exported file, D_Version2__B48A_20M1_20211115_104339.003.xlsx, can be found in the root directory. This file is readable, copyable, sendable, and can undergo other data processing.

[0037] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step S204 can be further decompressed into step S204-1, decompressing the data packet of the file with the same name to obtain the original data structure; step S204-2, using the open-source Python language to decode the original data structure to obtain Python decoded data; and step S204-3, using the open-source Python language to format the Python decoded data and convert it into a file in a user-readable format.

[0038] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the formatting of the Python decoded data using the open-source Python language includes importing the Python decoded data into a template corresponding to the user-selected file format based on the Python open-source language, thereby generating a file in the user-selected file format. Here, user-readable formats include, but are not limited to, Excel, Word, and TXT.

[0039] In step S205, if no file with the same name is found in the database, an alarm message and possible reasons are displayed on the graphical user interface, and instructions are displayed on the graphical user interface to guide the user to the next step.

[0040] like Figure 5 The illustration shows an exemplary case of a user-readable restricted file export failure, where the user inputs a filename of "D_Version2__B48A_20M1_20211115_104339.004", and the graphical user interface displays that the file is not found in the database. The possible reasons are that the filename is incorrect or that the file is a new file and a corresponding restricted file has not yet been generated in the database. The illustration also provides instructions on what to do if you want to continue exporting other files and if you want to close the tool.

[0041] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the method 200 further includes receiving modifications to the configuration file by the user before presenting the graphical user interface to the user, in order to establish a connection to the database corresponding to the modified configuration file. According to an embodiment of the present invention, each test station has its own database, and a connection to the database can be established by setting its configuration file.

[0042] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, receiving user modifications to the configuration file includes receiving database IP, SID, PORT, username and password input by the user, and replacing the original data in the configuration file with the received database IP, SID, PORT, username and password.

[0043] Figure 6An exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown, illustrating a schematic diagram of the entire process from inputting the file name "D_Version2_BandQ__B48A_20M0_20150702_140116.003" into the application export_excel_dfile.exe to exporting data in a user-readable Excel format.

[0044] The aforementioned electronic devices capable of exporting user-readable restriction files allow users to easily and conveniently create such files, saving significant time and improving the user experience. Furthermore, by modifying configuration data, these devices can be flexibly applied to different manufacturers, and standardized templates and operations reduce the probability of errors and packet loss, as well as quality risks.

[0045] This invention can be implemented by electronic devices, methods, and / or computer program products. A computer program product may include a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program instructions loaded thereon for causing a processor to implement various aspects of the invention.
