Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of thermostats, and in particular to a visualized multi-interface design method, system, device and storage medium for thermostats. Background Art

[0002] With the application of color screen technology in thermostats, it is increasingly favored by users for its aesthetic, dynamic and other performances. However, the complexity of its technical architecture places higher and higher requirements on engineers, which makes it particularly important to quickly and efficiently design a color screen interface. The current existing technical solution is to first modify the control parameters required by each interface in the control parameter configuration file according to the product technical documentation (such as control enable, position, size, background color, events, etc.), and then summarize the font size and picture information corresponding to the text on each interface as parameters, and export them as files that can be recognized by the program through the conversion tool. After the conversion is completed, the corresponding reference processing must be done in the program, and finally the program can be downloaded to the thermostat for operation after it is compiled.

[0003] The prior art has the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1) Parameters not used in the configuration file will occupy extra memory, resulting in memory waste. At the same time, a lot of time will be spent in the program pre-compilation stage, resulting in low compilation efficiency;

[0005] 2) The steps for converting fonts and pictures into files that can be recognized by the thermostat are cumbersome, and multiple parameters need to be entered. The conversion can only be done when there is a network connection, which results in low efficiency. Wrong parameter filling will also make the file unusable.

[0006] 3) When modifying parameters in the configuration file, the control status cannot be intuitively felt. At the same time, it is easy to make mistakes in the parameter configuration process, resulting in unknown problems in the display / operation interface. Moreover, when the parameters are modified in the subsequent requirements, it takes time to search in the configuration file. Summary of the invention

[0007] To this end, the embodiments of the present invention provide a visual multi-interface design method, system, device and storage medium for a temperature controller to solve the technical problems that the pre-compilation stage of the prior art takes a lot of time, and the configuration parameter process is prone to errors and low efficiency.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0090] With the application of color screen technology in thermostats, it is increasingly favored by users for its aesthetic, dynamic and other performances. However, the complexity of its technical architecture places higher and higher requirements on engineers, which makes it particularly important to quickly and efficiently design a color screen interface. The current existing technical solution is to first modify the control parameters required by each interface in the control parameter configuration file according to the product technical documentation (such as control enable, position, size, background color, events, etc.), and then summarize the font size and picture information corresponding to the text on each interface as parameters, and export them as files that can be recognized by the program through the conversion tool.

[0110] Further, refer to Figure 5 , adding font library and picture files according to the user's needs, including: adding font library includes: clicking the add font library file button to open the font library folder interface and selecting the font library file to be added; judging whether the font library file conforms to the font library format; if it conforms, judging whether the font library parameter area contains this font library file; if it does not contain, adding the font library file to the parameter storage area; if it contains, interrupting the addition of the font library file.

[0111] The logic for determining whether a file conforms to the font library format is:

[0112]

[0113] Among them, 1 means yes, 0 means no, x means the suffix of the current search file, *.ttf, *.woff, *.otf represent the three supported font library formats, and if the suffix meets one of the above three formats, it is 1, otherwise it is 0.

[0117] refer to Figure 6, adding a picture file includes: clicking the add picture file button to open the picture folder interface and selecting the picture file to be added; judging whether the picture file conforms to the picture format; if it conforms, judging whether the picture parameter area contains this picture file; if it does not contain, adding the picture file to the parameter storage area; if it contains, interrupting the addition of the picture file.

[0118] The logic for determining whether a file conforms to the image format is as follows:

[0119]

[0120] Among them, 1 means yes, 0 means no, x means the current search file suffix, *.png, *.jpg, *.svg, *.bmp represent the four supported image formats, and the value is 1 if the current search image file suffix meets one of the above four formats, otherwise it is 0.

[0121] The logical formula for determining whether the image parameter storage area contains this file is as follows:

[0122]

[0123] Among them, 1 means yes, 0 means no, x means the current file name, p names Indicates all related file names in the parameter storage area.

[0124] Further, refer to Figure 8 , read the control parameter configuration file and font file, including: click the read configuration file button and select the storage path of the configuration file; determine whether the control parameter configuration file exists; if it exists, read the file data and save it to the control parameter storage area and read the corresponding control parameters according to the current interface; determine whether all controls have been read; if the reading is completed, determine the font file; if not, determine whether the current control is enabled, if not, read the corresponding space parameters according to the current interface; if yes, create and configure parameters according to the control type and parameter data; determine whether the font file exists, if not, pop up a window to prompt that the font file does not exist; if the font file exists, read the file data and save it to the font storage area.

[0125] Determine whether the control configuration file has a logical formula:

[0126]

[0127] Among them, 1 means existence, 0 means non-existence, and x represents the file name under the path. Its content cannot be empty and must match the specified content to be valid.

[0128] The logical formula for determining the existence of a font file is as follows:

[0129]

[0130] Among them, 1 means existence, 0 means no, x means the font file name in the path, and its name suffix is ​​.c format to be valid.

[0131] The logical formula for judging that all controls have been read is as follows:

[0132]

[0133] Among them, 1 means yes, 0 means no, x means the interface where the control is located, and d means the current interface.

[0134] The logic formula for judging whether the current control is enabled is as follows:

[0135]

[0136] Among them, 1 means yes, 0 means no, and x represents the control enable value.

[0137] Further, refer to Fig. 9 , generate font files and image files, including: click a one-click font file generation button and search the font parameter storage area to determine whether the font parameters have been retrieved; if the retrieval is not complete, retrieve the uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers in the current font and convert other characters into corresponding uincode codes, call the font conversion function to generate files and re-retrieve the font parameter storage area; if the retrieval is complete, search the font parameter storage area and determine whether the font parameters have been retrieved, if the retrieval is not complete, determine whether the conversion is successful, if the conversion is successful, re-retrieve the font parameter storage area; if the conversion is not successful, record the name of the font that has not been successfully converted; determine whether all fonts have been successfully converted, if not, pop up a window of all the fonts that have not been successfully converted, if yes, end.

[0138] After clicking the one-click generate button, the automatic conversion logic starts to run. The font parameter storage area is retrieved, which mainly includes the font library file name, path, font name to be converted, size, character content to be converted and other information. These will be used as parameters to participate in the function of generating files. The logic for judging whether the font parameter retrieval is completed is the same as the logic formula for judging whether the file retrieval is completed. After each font type is retrieved, the number of font parameters increases by 1, and it is compared with the total number of font parameters to determine whether it is completed. After completion, it is necessary to check again whether all font parameter storage areas have been converted. The logic for judging whether the conversion is successful is to check whether the font name to be converted in the parameter storage area has the same name in the generated file. The logic can refer to the logic formula for judging whether the font library parameter storage area contains this file.

[0139] For unsuccessful conversions, the file names will be recorded to determine whether the conversion is successful. The logical formula is as follows:

[0140]

[0141] Among them, 1 means yes, 0 means no, and x means the name of the font that was not successfully converted. If the value is empty, it means that all the conversions are successful. Otherwise, a pop-up window will prompt all the fonts that were not successfully converted, which is used by the operator to locate which type of fonts were not successfully converted and quickly solve the problem.

[0142] refer to Fig.10 , click the single Generate Font File button to open the font conversion interface, click to select the font library file and enter the font size and the character content to be converted, click the Start Conversion button, determine whether the parameters are correct, if the parameters are wrong, terminate the conversion, if the parameters are correct, retrieve the uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers in the current font and convert other characters to corresponding uincode codes, call the font conversion function to generate a file for conversion and determine whether the conversion is successful, if successful, end, if failed, a pop-up window will prompt that the font conversion failed.

[0143] After clicking the single button to generate font files, the logic starts. The difference from one-click generation is that the operator needs to enter the required parameters before conversion. At this time, it is necessary to judge the correctness of the parameters, as follows:

[0144]

[0145] Among them, 1 means yes, 0 means no, x1 means input font library file, x2 means input character content, and x3 value means font size and is a number. Only when all three conditions are met can it be correct.

[0146] refer to Fig.11 , generating an image file includes: clicking a one-click image file generation button and searching the image parameter storage area to determine whether the image parameters have been retrieved; if the retrieval has not been completed, calling the image conversion function to generate a file and re-retrieve the image parameter storage area; if the retrieval is complete, searching the image parameter storage area and determining whether the image parameters have been retrieved; if the retrieval has not been completed, determining whether the conversion is successful; if the conversion is successful, re-searching the image parameter storage area; if not, recording the names of the unconverted images and re-searching the image parameter storage area; if the retrieval is complete, determining whether all images have been converted successfully; if there are unconverted images, a pop-up window will be displayed for all unconverted images; if all conversions are successful, the process ends.

[0147] After clicking the button of one-click generation of image file, the logic starts, and the image parameter storage area is retrieved, which mainly includes the image file name, path and other information. These will be used as parameters to participate in the function of generating image files. The logic of judging whether the image parameter retrieval is completed is the same as the logic formula of file retrieval completion. After each image is retrieved, the number of image parameters increases by 1, and it is compared with the total number of image parameters to determine whether it is completed. After completion, it is necessary to check again whether all image parameter storage areas have been converted. The logic of judging whether the conversion is successful is the same as the logic formula of file conversion success. For subsequent logic, please refer to the logic of one-click generation of font files.

[0148] refer to Fig.12 , click the Manually Generate Image File button, a pop-up window of image conversion interface will appear and click to select an image file, enter the image conversion format and click the Start Conversion button. At this time, determine whether the parameters are correct. If not, end. If correct, call the image conversion function to generate the file and determine whether the conversion is successful. If successful, end. If not, a pop-up window of image conversion failure will appear.

[0149] The formula for judging the correctness of the parameters is as follows:

[0150]

[0151] Among them, 1 means yes, 0 means no, x1 means the input image file, and x2 means the input image format. Only when both conditions are met can it be correct.

[0152] Further, refer to Figure 7 , generate the control parameter configuration file required by the user, including: double-clicking the control on the interface to create a chart and determine the control creation type; if the control creation type is not a button, picture or character, determine whether the current is a second / third level interface, if it is not a second / third level interface, retrieve and determine whether there are unused controls in the control corresponding to the control parameter storage area; if the control creation type is a button, picture or character, retrieve and determine whether there are unused controls in the control corresponding to the control parameter storage area; if not, a pop-up window will be displayed to prompt that the control has been used up; if it exists, create the control, fill in the control parameters and automatically synchronize them to the corresponding parameter storage area, click the Generate Configuration File button to open the file stream to read the control parameter area for read and write operations, and generate the control parameter configuration file.

[0153] Determine the logical formula for creating a control type:

[0154]
