Abstract
Description

[0002] Option display refers to the display of multiple candidate objects so that users can select one or more candidate objects from the multiple candidate objects as the value of the option. It is a common application scenario in the computer field. For example, in the scenario of filling out a form, the part to be filled in can be regarded as a variable, and multiple optional items can be set. Each optional item corresponds to an object. In this way, the user can select one or more objects from the preset multiple objects from the multiple optional items as the content to be filled in.
[0003] In the process of variable selection, multiple options need to be displayed to the user so that the user can select the value of the variable from the multiple options.

[0052] The embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0055] It should be noted that the concepts such as "first" and "second" mentioned in this application are only used to distinguish different objects, devices, modules or units, and are not used to limit the order or interdependence of the functions performed by these devices, modules or units.
[0056] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "plurality" mentioned in the present application are illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that unless otherwise clearly indicated in the context, it should be understood as "one or more".
[0057] Variable selection refers to selecting one or more objects from multiple optional objects as the value of the variable, which is a common application scenario in the computer field. For example, when you need to determine the value of a part of a text or chart, you can regard the part that needs to be determined as a variable. Users can trigger the display of multiple optional items through operations, and each optional item corresponds to an object. Then, the user can select one or more optional items from multiple optional items, and the object corresponding to the selected optional item is the object corresponding to the variable.
[0058] In actual application scenarios, selectable objects can be displayed through an object display bar. Specifically, the object display bar may include multiple object display items, and each object display item may correspond to a selectable object. However, if the number of variable selectable items is large, one object display bar may not be able to display all object display items. Moreover, too many object display items are not conducive to users finding the objects they want to select.
[0059] To this end, the objects corresponding to the variables can be displayed through a multi-level object display column. Specifically, the objects can be classified according to their attributes, and the common attributes of each type of objects can be determined. In addition, a parent object display column and a child object display column can be set. Each object display item in the parent object display column is used to display an object, or to display the common attributes of a type of objects. If an optional item in the parent object display column is used to display the common attributes of a type of objects, then the object display item can correspond to a child object display column. The child object display column is used to display each object corresponding to the common attribute. In this way, by displaying the common attributes of a type of objects instead of displaying each object in the type of objects, the number of objects displayed in the parent object display column is reduced, making it easier for users to view the objects corresponding to the variables.
[0060] Specifically, when users edit flowcharts, they may need to adjust the values of the variables corresponding to the nodes in the flowchart. For example, in an application editing scenario, users can develop application services within the Application Platform as a Service (aPaaS) platform. The aPaaS platform has low-code or zero-code features, and users can create applications on the aPaaS platform by “dragging, pulling, and dropping” elements and modules provided by the platform, achieving low-threshold rapid creation of applications. In the process of using the aPaaS platform to generate applications, users can first build flowcharts related to the produced applications, so that they can refer to the flowcharts for subsequent application production.
[0061] In the aPaaS platform, users can edit and produce application-related processes. For example, users can edit the process of application data processing for reference in the subsequent process of producing applications in the aPaaS platform. The process is usually displayed in the form of a flowchart. Users can edit the required flowchart in the process editing page provided by the aPaaS platform.
[0062] For example, when a user selects a variable through a terminal device such as a computer, the terminal device can display the following information: Figure 1 The interface shown. Figure 1 The interface shown includes a variable display bar 10, an object display bar 20 and an object display bar 30. Optionally, Figure 1It can be the interface displayed by the aPaaS platform.
[0063] The variable display bar 10 includes a variable display area 11 and an expansion display control 12. After the objects included in the variable are determined, the variable display area 11 can be used to display the objects included in the variable. When selecting a variable, the user can trigger the expansion display control 12 to cause the terminal device to display the object display bar 20.
[0064] The object display bar 20 includes an object display item 21, an object display item 22, and an object display item 23. Among them, the object display item 21 is used to display the relevant information of the object 1, and is also used as a control to trigger the operation of determining the object 1 as a variable to be selected. The object display item 23 is used to display the relevant information of the object 2, and is also used as a control to trigger the operation of determining the object 3 as a variable to be selected. The object display item 22 displays the relevant information of the common attribute 1, and is also used as a control to trigger the operation of displaying the object display bar 30.
[0065] Specifically, the object display bar 30 includes object display item 21, object display item 32 and object display item 33. Among them, object display item 31 is used to display the relevant information of object 3, and is also used as a control to trigger the operation of determining object 3 as a variable to be selected. Object display item 32 is used to display the relevant information of object 4, and is also used as a control to trigger the operation of determining object 4 as a variable to be selected. Object display item 33 is used to display the relevant information of object 5, and is also used as a control to trigger the operation of determining object 5 as a variable to be selected. Object display bar 30 is a child object display bar of object display bar 20, and objects 3, 4 and 4 displayed in object display bar 30 all have a common attribute 1.
[0066] In this way, although the variable corresponds to five optional objects, namely object 1, object 2, object 3, object 4 and object 5, by extracting the common attributes of object 3, object 4 and object 4, object 3, object 4 and object 5 can be displayed in the child object display column (i.e., object display column 30), and the upper-level object display column (i.e., object display column 20) can include three object display items. In this way, the number of object display items in the upper-level object display column is reduced, which is convenient for users to view.
[0067] In some possible implementations, among the multiple objects corresponding to the variable, some objects can be used as common attributes of other objects. In other words, the common attributes of the objects may also be determined as the value of the variable as the object. How to display objects that can be used as common attributes of other objects is an urgent problem to be solved.
[0068] For example, if the object is displayed as a common attribute in the parent object display column, and multiple objects corresponding to the common attribute are displayed in the child object display column, although the user can better understand the hierarchical relationship between different objects, due to the existence of the child object display column, the user often does not realize that the common attributes displayed in the parent object display column can also be used as variable values.
[0069] Alternatively, if the parent object display column and the child object display column are not used for display, but the common attributes and the objects corresponding to the common attributes are displayed as objects of the same level in the same level object display column, although the problem of confusing the common attributes with the objects will not arise, the number of objects displayed in the same level object display column will increase, affecting the user's selection of the object corresponding to the variable.
[0070] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, an embodiment of the present application provides an object determination method, which is described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the specification.
[0071] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 An information interaction diagram of an object determination method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application can be applied to application scenarios where the value of a variable needs to be determined. For example, it can be applied to application scenarios in which parameters or actions corresponding to flowchart nodes are determined in flowchart editing scenarios. Among them, the object determination method can be executed by an object determination device, and the device can be implemented by software and integrated into the user's client. Among them, the client can be a software client or a web client of aPaaS. If the client is a software client of aPaaS, the client can be integrated into a personal computer (Personal Computer, PC) or a mobile terminal. In some possible implementations, the client can be a module with a flowchart editing function in the software, such as an aPaaS module. The above-mentioned other software can be software with instant messaging function, such as office software. That is, the above-mentioned client can be an aPaaS module in instant messaging software.
[0072] like Figure 2 As shown, the method specifically comprises the following steps:
[0073] S201: Displaying a first object display column.
[0074] In order to facilitate the user to select the object corresponding to the variable, an object display bar can be displayed to the user. In the embodiment of the present application, the variable whose value is to be determined is called the target variable. In the actual application scenario, when the user edits the flowchart using the aPaaS platform, the user may need to determine the value of a parameter in the flowchart node. Accordingly, the parameter whose value needs to be determined can be regarded as the target variable. By executing Figure 2 The method described selects the value of the target variable.
[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the target variable may include one object or multiple objects. An object is a unit that can be selected as a target variable in one operation triggered by a user. That is, a user triggers a selection operation once to select one object as a target variable. If the target variable includes multiple objects, the user may trigger multiple selection operations, thereby determining multiple objects to be selected as the first object.
[0076] The first object display bar includes multiple first object display items. In an embodiment of the present application, the object display item is a display area on the interface displayed by the terminal device (or other display device) for displaying an object or a common attribute. The object display bar is a display area on the interface displayed by the terminal device (or other display device) that includes one or more object display items. It can be understood that the object display bar can display relevant information about the object or common attributes, and can also display one or more controls. The object display bar can include one or more object display items, and can also display other content, such as relevant information of the object display bar (such as attribute information such as the name of the object display bar) or scroll controls, etc. Among them, the scroll control is used to adjust the object display item displayed in the object display bar.
[0077] Optionally, the area of the first object display column may be a preset area, or may be determined according to the number of object display columns corresponding to the target variable. For an introduction to this part, please refer to the following text, which will not be repeated here.
[0078] Optionally, the display of the first object display bar can be triggered based on a user operation. For example, if the first object display bar is a child object display bar of a certain object display bar corresponding to the target variable, the user can trigger the display of the first object display bar by triggering the operation on the parent object display bar of the first object display bar. For an introduction to triggering the display of the first object display bar through the parent object display bar of the first object display bar, please refer to the following, which will not be repeated here.
[0079] Alternatively, if the first object display bar is the first object display bar corresponding to the target variable, the user can trigger the display of the first object display bar through the control of the display area corresponding to the target variable. Specifically, the display area corresponding to the target variable may include an expansion display control. The user can trigger an operation on the expansion display control, for example, a single-click operation or a double-click operation can be triggered on the expansion display control to trigger the display of the first object display bar.
[0080] For example, in Figure 1In the implementation shown, if the object display bar 20 is regarded as the first object display bar, the display of the first object display bar can be triggered by expanding the display control 12. Before displaying the object display bar corresponding to the target variable, the terminal device can point to the display variable display bar 10. If the user wants to select the object corresponding to the target variable, the user can click the expanded display control 12 to trigger the display of the first object display bar (i.e., the object display bar 20).
[0081] In actual application scenarios, some objects displayed in the object display column may conflict with the target variable, and these objects cannot be selected as variables. To this end, these objects can be displayed in different display modes. That is, the first object display column may include objects that can be selected as target variables and objects that cannot be selected as target variables. In this way, in order to avoid users confusing objects that cannot be selected as target variables with objects that can be selected as target variables, they can be distinguished by different display modes.
[0082] That is, in the first object display column, object display items corresponding to objects that can be selected as target variables can be displayed based on the first display mode, and object display items corresponding to objects that cannot be selected as target variables can be displayed based on the second display mode. The first display mode can be, for example, a conventional display mode, that is, the object display items are displayed according to preset parameters. The second display mode is a display mode different from the conventional display mode, for example, it can include a display mode such as adjusting the color of the text in the object display item, adjusting the background color of the object display item, etc., which will not be repeated here.
[0083] It should be noted that even if object A cannot be selected as the target variable, there is a possibility that a sub-object of object A can be selected as the target variable. Accordingly, when the user selects the target variable, although the user cannot trigger the selection operation on object A, it is possible to trigger the selection operation on the sub-object of object A. As described later, the user controls the display of the object display bar of the sub-object by triggering the expansion display operation. In other words, if an object corresponds to a lower-level display bar, then even if the user cannot trigger the selection operation on the object display item corresponding to the object, the user can trigger the expansion display operation on the object display item corresponding to the object. Corresponding to Figure 1 In the illustrated implementation, if the first object cannot be selected as the target operation, then the following step S202 cannot be executed, but step S203 can be executed.
[0084] S202: In response to a selection operation triggered on a target first object display item, a first object is selected.
[0085] If the user wants to select a certain object as the target variable, the user can trigger a selection operation on the object display item corresponding to the object. Specifically, assuming that the multiple objects displayed in the first object display column include the first object, in order to select the first object as the target variable, the user can trigger a selection operation on the first object display item corresponding to the first object in the first object display column. In the embodiment of the present application, the first object display item corresponding to the first object is referred to as the target first object display item. After the selection operation is triggered for the target first object display item, it is determined that the target variable includes the first object, and the first object can be said to be selected.
[0086] In an embodiment of the present application, the first object is proposed for an object that can be selected as a target variable as an object and can also be used as a common attribute of other objects and corresponds to the sub-object display bar. That is, the user can trigger different operations on the target first object display item. According to different operations triggered by the user, the first object can be selected as the target variable, or the object display bar corresponding to the first object can be controlled to display. In an embodiment of the present application, the operation for selecting the first object as the target variable is called a selection operation. When the user wants to select the first object as the target variable, the user can trigger a selection operation for the target first object display item.
[0087] It is understandable that, in addition to the first object, the user can also trigger a selection operation on other objects that can be selected as target variables and can also be used as common attributes of other objects corresponding to the sub-object display column.
[0088] In some possible implementations, the target first object display bar may include a first control for triggering a selection operation. That is, the user may trigger a selection operation on the first object through the first control. Specifically, the user may trigger a preset operation on the first control, such as a single-click operation or a double-click operation. After obtaining the preset operation triggered by the user on the first control, it may be determined that the user has triggered a selection operation on the target first object display item, thereby determining that the target variable includes the first object.
[0089] Optionally, the first control can be hidden to improve the simplicity of the page. For example, the target first object display bar can be used as the first control, and the first control can be displayed at the bottom of the screen, and the second control for triggering the expansion display operation is located above the first control. In this way, the user can trigger the selection operation by clicking the target first object display bar. If the user wants to view the second object display bar, the first control will not be triggered because the second control is located above the first control. For an introduction to the second control and the second object display bar, please refer to the following, which will not be repeated here.
[0090] As described above, the target variable may include one object or multiple objects. Accordingly, after the first object is selected as the target variable, other objects may also be selected as the target variable.
[0091] In order to distinguish between the object selected as the target variable (e.g., the first object) and the object not selected as the target variable, after the first object is selected as the target object, the target first object display item can be displayed according to the third display mode to prompt the user that the first object is selected as the target variable. For example, the background color of the target first object display item can be changed. Alternatively, the color or thickness of the text in the target first object display item can also be adjusted. In other words, the display mode of the object display bar corresponding to the object selected as the target variable is different from the display mode of the object display bar corresponding to the object not selected as the target variable. The user can distinguish between the object selected as the target variable and the object not selected as the target variable through different display modes.
[0092] S203: In response to the expansion display operation triggered for the target first object display item, display the second object display bar.
[0093] In addition to selecting the first object as the target variable, the user can also control the display of the sub-objects of the first object by triggering the expansion display operation. Specifically, the user can trigger the expansion display operation for the target first object display item. After obtaining the expansion display operation, the second object display bar can be displayed according to the expansion display operation. The second object display bar is the sub-object display bar corresponding to the first object. The second object display bar includes at least one second object display item. The object displayed by the second object display item is the sub-object of the first object.
[0094] It should be noted that step S202 does not conflict with step S203. For example, in some possible implementations, the user may first trigger a selection operation for the target first object display item, select the first object as the target variable, and then trigger an expansion display operation for the target first object display item to view the sub-objects of the first object. Alternatively, in some other possible implementations, the user may first trigger an expansion display operation for the target first object display item to view the sub-objects of the first object, and then trigger a selection operation for the target first object display item to select the first object as the target variable.
[0095] The sub-object of the first object may include an object related to the first object. The sub-object of the first object may not have a logical superior-subordinate relationship with the first object. Specifically, for multiple objects that the variable may correspond to, multiple objects with common attributes may be classified into one category, and one object in this category is used as the superior object, and the other objects are used as sub-objects.
[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, both the expansion display operation and the selection operation are triggered by the user for the target first object display item. Optionally, the user can trigger the expansion display operation and the selection operation through different operations. For example, assuming that the object determination method is executed by a terminal device including a mouse, the user can trigger the selection operation by left-clicking the target first object display item, and select the first object as the target variable. In addition, the user can also trigger the expansion display operation by right-clicking the target first object display item, and control the terminal device to display the second object display bar.
[0097] Alternatively, the user may also trigger different operations through different controls. Specifically, as described above, the selection operation may be triggered by the user through the first control. Correspondingly, the display operation may be triggered by the user through the second control. Both the second control and the first control belong to the target first object display item.
[0098] For example, in Figure 3-a In the implementation shown, a variable display column 310 and an object display column 320 are included. The object display column 320 includes an object display item 321, an object display item 322, and an object display item 323. Among them, the object display item 321 is used to display object A, the object display item 322 is used to display object B, and the object display item 323 is used to display object C.
[0099] The object display item 322 may include a first control for triggering a selection operation. Optionally, the first control may be hidden to improve the simplicity of the page. Figure 3-a In the corresponding implementation, the object display item 322 can be used as the first control. In addition, the object display item 322 also includes a control 322-1. The control 322-1 can be used as a second control to trigger a display operation. If the user clicks the control 322-1, the terminal device can display the object display bar 330. The object display bar 330 is used to display the sub-objects of object B. Figure 3-a In a corresponding implementation, the sub-objects of object B include object D, object E and object F.
[0100] In some possible implementations, the user may not know the function of the second control. Accordingly, the display mode of the second control may be changed when the user triggers a preset operation. The preset operation may include, for example, a hover operation, that is, the user moves an operation control such as a cursor to the position of the second control. If the preset operation triggered by the user for the second control is obtained, the second control may be displayed based on the fourth display mode to prompt the user that the first object has at least one child object.
[0101] For example, in Figure 3-aBased on the implementation shown in FIG. 1 , before the user triggers the expansion display operation, if the user moves the cursor or other operation controls to the position of the control 322-1, it can be regarded that the user has triggered the hover operation on the control 322-1. Accordingly, the terminal device can change the display mode of the control 322-1, for example, it can display Figure 3-b Compared with before the hover operation is triggered, Figure 3-b In the implementation shown, the background color of the control 322-1 is changed, so that the user knows that the control 322-1 can be clicked (or triggered by other means), thereby guiding the user to trigger the expansion display operation through the control 322-1. Figure 3-b The remaining part and Figure 3-a The corresponding parts are the same or similar and will not be repeated here.
[0102] In some possible implementations, there may be multiple objects corresponding to lower-level display columns among the objects displayed in the first object display column. That is, in addition to the target first object display item, other first object display items in the first object display column can also be used to trigger the expansion display operation. Accordingly, these first object display items that can be used by the user to trigger the expansion display operation can also include controls for triggering the expansion display operation. If these controls are highly similar to the second controls, after the second object display column is expanded and displayed, the user may not be clear about the first object display item corresponding to the second object display column.
[0103] In order to distinguish different sub-object display bars, after displaying the second object display bar, the display mode of the second control may be adjusted to prompt the user that the second object display bar corresponds to the target first object display item.
[0104] For example, in Figure 3-a Based on the implementation shown in FIG. 1 , after the user triggers the expansion display operation, the terminal device can change the display mode of the control 322-1, for example, it can display the following Figure 3-c Compared with before the expansion display operation is triggered, Figure 3-c In the implementation shown, the line in the control 322-1 is displayed in bold. Thus, if there are other object display items including controls such as the control 322-1 in the object display bar 320, since the line in the control 322-1 is displayed in bold, the user can distinguish the control 322-1 from other controls for triggering the expansion display operation. Thus, the user can know that the object display bar 330 corresponds to the display item 322. Figure 3-c The remaining part and Figure 3-a The corresponding parts are the same or similar and will not be repeated here.
[0105] The embodiment of the present application provides an object determination method. If a user wants to select an object included in a target variable, a first object display column can be displayed to the user first. The first object display column includes at least one first object display item. Each first object display item corresponds to an object that can be included in the target variable. The first object display column includes a target first object display item. The target first object display item is used to display the first object. The user can trigger a selection operation or an expansion display operation for the target first object display item. Among them, the selection operation is used to determine that the target variable includes the first object. The expansion display operation is used to trigger the display of the second object display column. The second object display column is used to display the sub-objects of the first object, including at least one second object display item. The second object display item is used to display the sub-objects of the first object. In this way, for different objects with a superior-subordinate relationship, the user can control the expansion display of the sub-objects of the first object by triggering the expansion display operation, and can also determine that the target variable includes the first object by triggering the selection operation. In this way, the object display item in the object display column can be used to select the superior object as the target variable, and can also be used to trigger the expansion display of the sub-object, so that the user can select the object corresponding to the target variable.
[0106] As described above, the superior-subordinate relationship between objects is relative. That is, the first object may be a child object of other objects, and the object displayed in the second object display column may also be a child object of the superior object.
[0107] In some possible implementations, the objects displayed in the second object display bar may include the second object. The second object may serve as a parent object of other objects. In this way, the user may trigger an expansion display operation for the second object display item corresponding to the second object to trigger display of the sub-objects of the second object.
[0108] Specifically, the second object display item corresponding to the second object may be referred to as a target second object display item. A user may trigger an expansion display operation for the target second object display item. For example, the target second object display item may include a third control, and the user may trigger an expansion display operation by clicking the third control. A third object display bar may be displayed to the user for triggering an expansion display operation for the target second object display item. The third object display bar includes at least one third object display item, and the object displayed by the third object display item is a sub-object of the second object.
[0109] For example, in Figure 3-a Based on the implementation shown in FIG. 1 , after the user triggers the expansion display operation for the object display item 322, if the user triggers the expansion display operation for the object display item corresponding to the object E in the object display column 330, the terminal device may display the following Figure 3-d The interface shown.
[0110] exist Figure 3-d In the illustrated implementation, the object display bar 330 includes an object display item 331, an object display item 332, and an object display item 333. The object display item 331 is used to display the object D. The object display item 332 is used to display the object E. The object display item 333 is used to display the object F. The object display item 331 includes a control 331-1, which is used to trigger the expansion display operation of expanding and displaying the sub-object corresponding to the object D. The object display item 332 includes a control 332-1, which is used to trigger the expansion display operation of expanding and displaying the sub-object corresponding to the object F.
[0111] If the user wants to view the sub-objects of object F, the user can trigger the expansion display operation through the control 332-1, for example, the user can click the control 332-1. After the user triggers the expansion display operation for the object display item 332, the object display bar 340 can be displayed. The object display bar 340 is used to display the sub-objects of object E. Figure 3-d In the corresponding implementation, the sub-objects of object E include object F, object H and object I.
[0112] Furthermore, in order to prompt the user that the object display bar 340 corresponds to the object display item 332, the control 332-1 may be highlighted. Thus, the object 331-1 is not displayed in bold, and the object 332-1 is displayed in bold, so that the user can clearly determine that the object display bar 340 corresponds to the object display item 332.
[0113] In actual application scenarios, the target variable may correspond to multiple levels of object display columns. In this way, if the number of object display columns is large, the object display columns may affect the display of other content on the page. To this end, the total area of the object display columns corresponding to the target variable can be controlled.
[0114] As a possible implementation, the total area of the object display bar can be preset, and all the object display bars corresponding to the target variable can be controlled to use the area. That is, assuming that the total area of the object display bar corresponding to the target variable is X, if one object display bar corresponding to the target variable is currently displayed, then the area of the object display bar can be X; if two object display bars corresponding to the target variable are currently displayed, then the area of the object display bar can be 0.5X; if N object display bars corresponding to the target variable are currently displayed (N is a positive integer), then the area of the object display bar can be X / N.
[0115] As another possible implementation, a threshold value for the number of object display columns (hereinafter referred to as the first threshold value) and a maximum area may be set. When the number of object display columns corresponding to the target variable is not greater than the first threshold value, the object display column corresponding to the target object may be displayed with a preset area. When the number of object display columns corresponding to the target variable is greater than the first threshold value, the total area of the object display column corresponding to the target variable may be controlled to be the above-mentioned maximum area.
[0116] Based on the above introduction, an example is given. Before displaying the third object display bar, the number of display bars corresponding to the target variable can be counted, and it can be determined whether the number of display bars corresponding to the target variable is less than the first threshold. If the number of display bars corresponding to the target variable is less than the first threshold, then after displaying the third object display bar, the number of display bars corresponding to the target variable is not greater than the first threshold. Accordingly, the third object display bar can be displayed based on a preset area.
[0117] If the number of display columns corresponding to the target variable is not less than the first threshold, then after the third object display column is displayed, the number of display columns corresponding to the target variable is greater than the first threshold. Accordingly, the first area can be determined according to the maximum area and the number of display columns corresponding to the target variable, and the third object display column can be displayed based on the first area. The first area is equal to the ratio of the maximum area to the number of display columns corresponding to the target variable. In addition, the area of the displayed object display column can also be adaptively adjusted. That is, when the third object display column is displayed, the area of the first object display column and the area of the second object display column can also be adjusted to the above-mentioned first area.
[0118] Optionally, if a plurality of object display columns are displayed horizontally, the area of the object display column may be adjusted to the first area by adjusting the width of the object display column.
