[0002] With the development of science and technology, many fields are continuously achieving automation to liberate manpower and improve efficiency. Whether it's automated manufacturing, automated testing, or automated experimentation, automated operating systems are widely used. In automated operating systems, the entire automated process is typically broken down into multiple operation nodes to adapt to the automation needs of different scenarios. For example, in the field of automated biochemistry, automated experiments can be performed on samples (e.g., target liquids). The experimental process of this automated experiment can include multiple operation nodes, which can be automatically executed by the experimental equipment.
[0003] Once the automated process is created, it is usually run directly. However, there is a lack of technology to demonstrate changes in sample location. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention was proposed in view of the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a sample traceability preview method for an automated process is provided. The automated process includes multiple operation nodes executed by an automated operating system for a sample and the execution order of the multiple operation nodes. The sample traceability preview method for the automated process includes:
[0006] The human-computer interaction interface displays multiple preset operation nodes, including a target preset operation node, which corresponds to a sample disk template.
[0007] In response to a selection operation and an execution order setting operation of at least some of the preset operation nodes among a plurality of preset operation nodes, the plurality of operation nodes and the execution order of the plurality of operation nodes included in the automated process are determined, wherein the plurality of operation nodes include at least one target preset operation node.
[0008] In response to the preview operation, a sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node is displayed in the human-computer interaction interface. Based on the preset position information of the preset traceability sample, and according to the execution order of at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes, the position traceability information of the preset traceability sample is displayed on the sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node. The preset position information is used to indicate the position of the preset traceability sample in the sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node, and the position traceability information is used to indicate the position change of the preset traceability sample after the execution of the automated process.
[0009] For example, before determining the multiple operation nodes included in the automated process and the execution order of the multiple operation nodes in response to the selection operation and execution order setting operation of at least some of the multiple preset operation nodes, the method further includes: configuring operation areas corresponding one-to-one with the multiple preset operation nodes in response to the operation area configuration operation for the multiple preset operation nodes; displaying the multiple preset operation nodes in the human-computer interaction interface, including: displaying the preset operation nodes corresponding to the same operation area in the same display area in the human-computer interaction interface.
[0010] For example, before determining the multiple operation nodes and the execution order of the multiple operation nodes included in the automated process in response to the selection operation and execution order setting operation of at least some of the multiple preset operation nodes, the method further includes: configuring a sample disk template corresponding one-to-one with the target preset operation node in response to the node configuration operation for the target preset operation node among the multiple preset operation nodes.
[0011] For example, the method further includes: in response to a node adjustment operation, performing sample disk adjustment on some or all of the preset operation nodes among a plurality of preset operation nodes, while keeping the sample disk template in the created automated process unchanged, wherein the sample disk adjustment includes configuring sample disk templates for preset operation nodes other than the target preset operation node among the plurality of preset operation nodes and / or changing the sample disk template corresponding to the target preset operation node.
[0012] For example, before configuring a sample disk template corresponding one-to-one with the target preset operation node in response to a node configuration operation for a target preset operation node among multiple preset operation nodes, the method further includes: creating multiple sample disk templates in response to a sample disk creation operation; wherein, the node configuration operation includes: selecting a single sample disk template from the multiple sample disk templates for each preset operation node among the target preset operation nodes, as the sample disk template corresponding to that preset operation node.
[0013] For example, before creating multiple sample tray templates in response to the sample tray creation operation, the method further includes: creating multiple template materials in response to the material creation operation; and creating multiple sample tray templates in response to the sample tray creation operation, including: creating multiple sample tray templates based on multiple template materials, wherein each sample tray template includes at least one template material from the multiple template materials.
[0014] For example, the sample tray template includes at least one sample position, each sample position in the sample tray template representing a single position within the sample placement area of the target preset operation node to which the sample tray template belongs; based on the preset position information of the preset traceability sample, and in accordance with the execution order of at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes, the position traceability information of the preset traceability sample is displayed on the sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node, including: based on the preset position information, and in accordance with the execution order of at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes, sequentially highlighting the sample positions corresponding to the preset traceability sample on the sample tray template, and / or connecting the sample positions corresponding to the preset traceability sample in adjacent sample tray templates to form a traceability line for the preset traceability sample, wherein the position traceability information includes the highlighted sample positions and / or the traceability line.
[0015] For example, displaying a sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node in a human-computer interaction interface includes: in the human-computer interaction interface, arranging and displaying the sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node in the execution order of at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes.
[0016] For example, in the human-computer interaction interface, at least one sample disk template corresponding to a target preset operation node is arranged and displayed in the order of execution, with any two sample disk templates aligned at the center.
[0017] According to another aspect of the present invention, a sample traceability preview system for an automated process is also provided.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more apparent, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely a subset of embodiments of the present invention.
[0031] To at least partially address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a sample traceability preview method for an automated process. This method determines multiple operation nodes and their execution order within the automated process in response to selection and execution order setting operations, and displays preset traceability information of the sample location on a sample tray template in response to a preview operation. This approach allows users to preview the sample location change trend before the automated process is executed, facilitating a preview of the automated process setup and sample location traceability effects. The sample traceability preview method can be applied to any electronic device, i.e., executed by any electronic device. Specifically, it can be applied to the processor of any electronic device, i.e., executed by the processor of any electronic device. The electronic device can be the automated device itself, or it can be a different electronic device that can communicate with and connect to the automated device (e.g., the control system described below). The communication connection described herein can be implemented using any wired and / or wireless connection method.
[0032] For example, Figure 1 A schematic flowchart of a sample traceability preview method for an automated process according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The automated process includes multiple operation nodes executed on a sample by an automated operating system and the execution order of the multiple operation nodes. An operation node may include at least one corresponding operation, which may be executed by a corresponding automated device. For example, operation node A includes a movement operation and a centrifugation operation; the movement operation may be executed by a robotic arm, and the centrifugation operation may be executed by a centrifuge. It is understood that the multiple operation nodes of the automated process can be executed by an automated operating system, which may include automated devices and corresponding control systems. For example, automated devices may include robotic arms, centrifuges, vortex mixers, pipetting workstations, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), etc. The automated devices and corresponding control systems may be any existing or future-developed automated devices and corresponding control systems. Users can create automated processes as needed, and the multiple operation nodes of the automated process may have a specific execution order. For example, the automated process may include operation node 1, operation node 2, operation node 3, and operation node 4, which can be executed sequentially in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4; that is, the operation corresponding to operation node 1 is executed first, and then the operation corresponding to operation node 2 is executed.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the sample traceability preview method of this automated process includes steps S1100, S1200 and S1300.
[0034] In step S1100, multiple preset operation nodes are displayed in the human-machine interface. These preset operation nodes include a target preset operation node, which corresponds to a sample tray template. The electronic device used to execute the sample traceability preview method for the automated process may include an output device or be communicatively connected to an output device. The output device may include a display, etc. A human-machine interface can be provided and displayed on the display screen. For any given preset operation node, it can be pre-configured, meaning it can be displayed in the human-machine interface without user creation. For example, for general operation nodes, pre-configured preset operation nodes are possible. Alternatively, any given preset operation node can be user-created, meaning the user can create preset operation nodes as needed. For example, a user can create at least one preset operation node through a node creation operation and can set the corresponding operation (e.g., moving samples, centrifugation), node name, node icon, etc., for the created preset operation node. The multiple preset operation nodes displayed in the human-machine interface can all be pre-configured, all created by the user, or partially pre-configured and partially created by the user. The human-computer interface can display identification information for multiple preset operation nodes. This identification information may include the node icon and / or node name of the preset operation node. Among these preset operation nodes, a target preset operation node may be included. The target preset operation node may correspond to a sample tray template. The sample tray template can be a graphical representation of the physical sample placement area in the human-computer interface. For example, a target preset operation node N may correspond to one or more operations. The target preset operation node N may correspond to a sample tray template n, and the sample placement area corresponding to the sample tray template n may be a 16-well microplate. Therefore, the operation corresponding to the target preset operation node N can be performed on the samples placed in the 16-well microplate, and the sample tray template n can be a graphical representation of the 16-well microplate. The sample tray template can be used to display the position of the samples.
[0035] In step S1200, in response to the selection operation and execution order setting operation of at least some of the preset operation nodes among the multiple preset operation nodes, the multiple operation nodes included in the automation process and the execution order of the multiple operation nodes are determined, wherein the multiple operation nodes include at least one target preset operation node.
[0036] Electronic devices used for sample traceability previewing methods to execute automated processes may include input devices or be communicatively connected to input devices. For example, input devices may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a mouse, keyboard, trackball, touchpad, touchscreen, microphone, etc. Users can use the input device to perform various user operations described herein, such as selection operations and execution order setting operations, as well as preview operations, operation area configuration operations, etc., described below. The way a user performs any operation through the input device may include, but is not limited to: triggering controls in the human-computer interaction interface through a mouse, touchscreen, etc., inputting voice commands through a microphone, inputting operation commands corresponding to shortcut keys through keyboard shortcuts, etc. The human-computer interaction interface displays multiple preset operation nodes. In the human-computer interaction interface, users can use the input device to perform selection operations and execution order setting operations for at least some of the multiple preset operation nodes. Users can select at least some of the preset operation nodes as multiple operation nodes included in the automated process through selection operations, and determine the execution order of the multiple operation nodes through execution order setting operations for the selected at least some preset operation nodes. It is understood that multiple preset operation nodes include target preset operation nodes configured with sample tray templates. Selected preset operation nodes can serve as operation nodes in an automated process. To demonstrate sample position changes through the sample tray template, the multiple operation nodes in the automated process can include at least one target preset operation node; that is, at least one target preset operation node can be selected as an operation node in the automated process. For example, a preset operation node 1 can be selected from multiple preset operation nodes through a selection operation. By executing an order setting operation, preset operation node 1 can be configured as the first operation node in the automated process. For instance, the node icon corresponding to preset operation node 1 can be dragged to the automated process building area in the human-computer interaction interface. The first preset operation node dragged to this automated process building area automatically becomes the first operation node in the automated process. Similarly, a preset operation node 3 can be selected from multiple preset operation nodes through a selection operation. By executing an order setting operation, the selected preset operation node 3 can be configured as the second operation node in the automated process. For instance, the node icon corresponding to preset operation node 3 can be dragged to the automated process building area; it is the second preset operation node to enter the automated process building area and can automatically connect with the node icon corresponding to the first operation node to serve as the second operation node in the automated process. The human-computer interaction interface can display node icons corresponding to multiple operation nodes included in the automated process. The node icons can be arranged and displayed in sequence according to the execution order of the multiple operation nodes. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a human-computer interaction interface according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2As shown, the node selection area of the human-computer interaction interface displays N preset operation nodes. Users can select a preset operation node in the node selection area and drag it to the automation process building area to create an automation process. Figure 2 The automated process setup area displays the created automated processes, which include the first operation node, the second operation node, the third operation node, and the fourth operation node that are executed sequentially.
[0037] In step S1300, in response to the preview operation, a sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node is displayed in the human-machine interface. Based on the preset position information of the preset traceability sample, and according to the execution order of at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes, the position traceability information of the preset traceability sample is displayed on the sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node. The preset position information indicates the position of the preset traceability sample in the sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node, and the position traceability information indicates the position change of the preset traceability sample after the automated process is executed. Before the automated process is executed, the user can preview the position change of the preset traceability sample through the preview operation. The user can perform the preview operation using an input device. For example, the human-machine interface may have a preview control, which can be clicked to perform the preview operation. In response to the preview operation, the sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node of the automated process (i.e., the target preset operation nodes included in the automated process) can be displayed in the human-machine interface. For example, a new display window can be provided in the human-machine interface, in which the corresponding sample tray template can be displayed according to the execution order of at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes. The preset position information is used to indicate the position of a preset traceability sample in a sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node. In some embodiments, the position change of the preset traceability sample during the execution of the automated process can be simulated based on multiple operation nodes of the automated process, thereby determining the position of the preset traceability sample in the sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node of the automated process. In other embodiments, the preset position information of the preset traceability sample may include the preset position of each sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node, that is, the position change of the preset traceability sample is set to move sequentially to the preset position of each sample tray template. Based on the preset position information of the preset traceability sample, the specific position of the preset traceability sample in the sample tray template can be determined, thereby allowing the display of the position traceability information of the preset traceability sample.
[0038] The number of preset traceability samples can be one or more. In some embodiments, the location traceability information of the preset traceability samples can include highlighting the location of the preset traceability samples in a color that distinguishes them from other samples. The highlighting colors of different preset traceability samples can be different, and the user can determine the location change of the preset traceability samples based on the highlighted locations. For example, based on the preset location information of the preset traceability samples (the locations of the preset traceability samples in the sample tray templates corresponding to target preset operation nodes 1, 2, and 3, respectively), the locations of the preset traceability samples can be highlighted in the sample tray templates corresponding to target preset operation nodes 1, 2, and 3, respectively, to display the location traceability information of the preset traceability samples and thus indicate the expected location change of the preset traceability samples. In other embodiments, the locations of the preset traceability samples can be sequentially connected according to the execution order of the target preset operation nodes among multiple operation nodes to indicate the location change of the preset traceability samples. For example, based on the preset location information of the preset traceability samples (the positions of the preset traceability samples in the sample tray templates corresponding to target preset operation nodes 1, 2, and 3, respectively), a line can be drawn connecting the position of the preset traceability sample in the sample tray template corresponding to target preset operation node 1 with its position in the sample tray template corresponding to target preset operation node 2, and another line can be drawn connecting the position of the preset traceability sample in the sample tray template corresponding to target preset operation node 2 with its position in the sample tray template corresponding to target preset operation node 3. This displays the location traceability information of the preset traceability samples, thereby indicating the expected position change of the preset traceability samples. The display of the location traceability information of the preset traceability samples can be implemented in any manner.
[0039] In the above technical solution, in response to the selection operation and execution order setting operation, the multiple operation nodes and execution order of the automated process are determined. In response to the preview operation, based on the preset location information of the preset traceability sample, the location traceability information of the preset traceability sample is displayed on the sample tray template. Thus, the position change trend of the sample in the created automated process can be previewed, allowing users to understand the status after the automated process is executed, judge whether the automated process is created reasonably, and thereby improve the efficiency and accuracy of users in creating automated processes.
[0040] For example, the sample tray template includes at least one sample position, where each sample position represents a single location within the sample placement area of the target preset operation node to which the sample tray template belongs. A sample position can be a graphical representation of the physical location of a sample within its corresponding sample placement area in the human-computer interaction interface. For instance, the sample tray template could be a graphical template corresponding to a 16-well cell culture plate in the human-computer interaction interface, where each of the 16 wells can correspond to a sample position. Figure 3 A schematic block diagram of a sample tray template according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the sample tray template can be a rectangle with 16 circles inside. Each circle can represent a sample position. This sample tray template can correspond to a target preset operation node A, and the operation corresponding to the target preset operation node A can be executed on the sample in the sample position. The sample tray template can be used to display the position of the sample.
[0041] Step S1300, based on the preset location information of the preset traceability sample, displays the location traceability information of the preset traceability sample on the sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes, according to the execution order of at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes, including step S1310. In step S1310, based on the preset location information, according to the execution order of at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes, the sample positions corresponding to the preset traceability sample on the sample tray template are sequentially highlighted, and / or the sample positions corresponding to the preset traceability sample in adjacent sample tray templates are connected to form a traceability line for the preset traceability sample. The location traceability information includes the highlighted sample positions and / or traceability lines. The preset location information may include the position of the preset traceability sample in the sample tray template corresponding to the target preset operation node in the automated process. The sample position corresponding to the preset traceability sample in the sample tray template can be determined based on the preset location information.
[0042] In some embodiments, the sample position of a preset traceability sample in the sample tray template corresponding to each target preset operation node in the automated process can be determined based on preset location information. According to the sample position of the preset traceability sample in the sample tray template, the sample positions corresponding to the preset traceability sample on the sample tray template can be highlighted sequentially according to the execution order of each target preset operation node in the multiple operation nodes of the automated process. Different preset traceability samples can be highlighted with different colors. The user can determine the positional changes of the preset traceability sample based on the highlighted sample positions. Figure 4 A schematic diagram illustrating the location tracing information of a preset tracing sample according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 4As shown, the sample position in the second column of the first row in sample tray template 1 corresponding to target preset operation node A is highlighted; the sample position in the second column of the first row in sample tray template 2 corresponding to target preset operation node B is highlighted; and the sample position in the first column of the second row in sample tray template 3 corresponding to target preset operation node C is highlighted. This demonstrates the positional changes of the preset traceability sample within the sample placement area corresponding to the sample tray template during the expected execution of the automated process. For simplicity, Figure 4 The sample tray templates corresponding to other operation nodes after the target preset operation node C are not shown, but they can clearly show the display method of the preset traceability sample location traceability information.
[0043] In other embodiments, the sample positions corresponding to the preset traceability samples in adjacent sample tray templates can be connected according to the sample positions of the preset traceability samples in each sample tray template to form a traceability line for the preset traceability samples. Figure 5 A schematic diagram illustrating the location tracing information of a preset traceability sample according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 5 As shown, the sample position in the first row and second column of the sample disk template 1 corresponding to the target preset operation node A is connected to the sample position in the first row and second column of the sample disk template 2 corresponding to the target preset operation node B, and the sample position in the first row and second column of the sample disk template 2 corresponding to the target preset operation node B is connected to the sample position in the second row and first column of the sample disk template 3 corresponding to the target preset operation node C. Figure 5 The lines connecting the sample positions are called traceability lines. These traceability lines can have arrows indicating the direction of sample movement. This allows us to demonstrate the positional changes of the pre-defined traceability samples within the corresponding sample placement area of the sample tray template during the expected execution of the automated process.
[0044] Optionally, while highlighting the sample position corresponding to the preset traceability sample on the sample disk template, the sample positions corresponding to the preset traceability samples on the sample disk templates of two adjacent target preset operation nodes can be connected.
[0045] In the above technical solution, based on preset position information, the sample positions corresponding to preset traceability samples on the sample tray template are sequentially highlighted according to the execution order of at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes. This highlights the sample positions of the preset traceability samples on the sample tray template, allowing for better determination of the preset traceability sample's position. Connecting the sample positions corresponding to preset traceability samples in adjacent sample tray templates forms a traceability line for the preset traceability sample. This connection better indicates changes in the position of the preset traceability sample. Simultaneously highlighting the sample positions corresponding to the preset traceability samples on the sample tray template and connecting the sample positions corresponding to preset traceability samples in adjacent sample tray templates not only better identifies the preset traceability sample but also better indicates changes in its position, thus providing insight into the execution status of the automated process.
[0046] For example, step S1300 displays a sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node in the human-computer interaction interface, including step S1320. In step S1320, in the human-computer interaction interface, the sample tray templates corresponding to at least one target preset operation node are arranged and displayed according to the execution order of at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes.
[0047] In the human-computer interaction interface, sample templates corresponding to the target preset operation nodes can be displayed in any arrangement according to the execution order of the target preset operation nodes in the automated process. For example, multiple sample templates can be displayed alternately from left to right and top to bottom. For instance, if the automated process includes target preset operation nodes 1, 2, and 3 executed sequentially, in the human-computer interaction interface, sample template 2 corresponding to target preset operation node 2 can be displayed to the upper right of sample template 1 corresponding to target preset operation node 1, and sample template 3 corresponding to target preset operation node 3 can be displayed to the lower right of sample template 2 corresponding to target preset operation node 2. Multiple sample templates are arranged alternately from left to right in the human-computer interaction interface. Multiple sample templates can also be displayed alternately from top to bottom. The sample templates in the human-computer interaction interface can be displayed in any arrangement according to the execution order.
[0048] In the above technical solution, the human-computer interaction interface displays sample tray templates corresponding to at least one target preset operation node in the execution order of at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes. Therefore, by displaying the sample tray templates in the execution order, the execution order of the operation nodes in the automated process can be shown to the user, making it easier for the user to better determine the positional changes of the samples and understand the execution status of the automated process.
[0049] For example, in the human-computer interaction interface, sample tray templates corresponding to at least one target preset operation node are arranged and displayed in the execution order, with the center aligned between any two sample tray templates. The execution order can be the execution order of the target preset operation nodes corresponding to the sample tray templates in the automated process, that is, the execution order of at least one target preset operation node in the automated process. The center alignment direction can be any direction, for example, the center alignment direction can be from left to right, from top to bottom, or from upper left to lower right. In the human-computer interaction interface, the sample tray templates can be arranged and displayed in the execution order, with the center aligned between any two sample tray templates. It can be understood that the centers of all sample tray templates in the human-computer interaction interface are on a straight line.
[0050] In the above technical solution, in the human-computer interaction interface, the sample tray templates corresponding to the target preset operation nodes are arranged and displayed in the execution order, with any two sample tray templates aligned to the center. Therefore, this center-aligned display method can more clearly and explicitly show the execution order of the target preset operation nodes corresponding to the sample tray templates, thereby clearly showing the positional changes of the samples to understand the execution status of the automated process.
[0051] For example, prior to step S1200, the sample traceability preview method for the automated process further includes step S1400. Step S1400 can be executed before step S1200. In step S1400, in response to the operation area configuration operation for multiple preset operation nodes, operation areas corresponding one-to-one with the multiple preset operation nodes are configured. The operation area can be used to classify the preset operation nodes. For example, the operation area can be the laboratory area type where the operation corresponding to the preset operation node is executed. The operation area can also be the classification type of the operation corresponding to the preset operation node. The operation area can include extraction area, AGV area, rotary plate stack area, antibody equipment area, analysis workstation area, pipetting workstation area, etc. The corresponding operation area can be set for each of the multiple preset operation nodes as needed through the operation area configuration operation. Optionally, the operation area can have a corresponding code, and the preset operation node can be configured to belong to the operation area corresponding to the code by configuring the corresponding code to the preset operation node. Different preset operation nodes can have the same or different operation areas.
[0052] Step S1100 includes step S1110. In step S1110, in the human-computer interaction interface, preset operation nodes corresponding to the same operation area are displayed in the same display area. Preset operation nodes in the same operation area can be preset operation nodes of the same type. For example, preset operation nodes belonging to the extraction operation area can all perform extraction operations, but the specific parameters and forms of the extraction operations can be different. The display area of preset operation nodes in the human-computer interaction interface can be divided into multiple display areas according to the number of operation areas, and each display area displays preset operation nodes of the same operation area. When the user performs selection operations and execution order settings operations on preset operation nodes, they can quickly select the appropriate preset operation node according to the operation area.
[0053] The above technical solution configures operation areas that correspond one-to-one with multiple preset operation nodes. In the human-computer interaction interface, preset operation nodes corresponding to the same operation area are displayed in the same display area. Therefore, users can determine the type of preset operation node based on the display area where the preset operation node is located, facilitating the selection of appropriate preset operation nodes and enabling users to quickly locate the preset operation node in the target operation area. This reduces filtering time and improves the efficiency and accuracy of automated process creation.
[0054] For example, prior to step S1200, the sample traceability preview method for the automated process further includes step S1500. Step S1500 can be executed before step S1200. In step S1500, in response to a node configuration operation for a target preset operation node among multiple preset operation nodes, a sample tray template corresponding one-to-one with the target preset operation node is configured. The preset operation node selected for configuring the sample tray template among multiple preset operation nodes is the target preset operation node. The sample tray template can be pre-configured, that is, a sample tray template that can be configured for the target preset operation node without user creation. For example, a preset sample tray template can be used for a general sample placement area. The sample tray template can also be created by the user, that is, the user needs to create the sample tray template before configuring the sample tray template for the target preset operation node. The user can perform the node configuration operation using an input device. For example, the user can determine the sample tray template corresponding to the selected target preset operation node among multiple sample tray templates. There can be multiple selected target preset operation nodes, and different target preset operation nodes can correspond to the same or different sample tray templates. It is understandable that, since the sample placement areas corresponding to different target preset operation nodes may be in different locations, but the types of sample placement areas may be the same. For example, the sample placement areas corresponding to two target preset operation nodes may both be 48-well cell culture plates. Therefore, different target preset operation nodes can correspond to the same sample tray template. For example, target preset operation node 1 and target preset operation node 2 both correspond to the sample tray template of a 48-well cell culture plate.
[0055] In the above technical solution, in response to node configuration operations, a sample disk template is configured that corresponds one-to-one with the target preset operation node. This allows for flexible binding of the sample disk template to the target preset operation node, more accurately adapting to the user's actual application scenarios.
[0056] For example, the sample traceability preview method for an automated process further includes step S1600. In step S1600, in response to a node adjustment operation, sample tray adjustment is performed on some or all of the preset operation nodes among multiple preset operation nodes, while keeping the sample tray template in the created automated process unchanged. The sample tray adjustment includes configuring sample tray templates for preset operation nodes other than the target preset operation node among the multiple preset operation nodes and / or changing the sample tray template corresponding to the target preset operation node. The node adjustment operation can be performed using an input device to adjust the sample trays on some or all of the multiple preset operation nodes. The sample tray adjustment may include configuring sample tray templates for preset operation nodes other than the target preset operation node (i.e., preset operation nodes among the multiple preset operation nodes that are not configured with sample tray templates). The sample tray adjustment may also include changing the sample tray template corresponding to the target preset operation node. The node adjustment operation can change the sample tray template corresponding to the preset operation node, but can keep the sample tray template in the created automated process unchanged. Step S1500 allows configuring corresponding sample disk templates for target preset operation nodes among multiple preset operation nodes. Step S1200 allows creating an automated process, which may include at least one target preset operation node. For example, after creating an automated process based on multiple preset operation nodes, the created automated process can form an independent process file. The content of this process file can be generated based on the preset operation nodes included in the automated process at the time of creation and the order of the preset operation nodes. The node adjustment operation may not adjust the process file of the created automated process, but only the preset operation nodes. A new automated process can be created based on the adjusted preset operation nodes, or the preset operation nodes of an existing automated process can be replaced based on the adjusted preset operation nodes to adjust the existing automated process.
[0057] In the above technical solution, in response to a node adjustment operation, the sample trays of some or all of the multiple preset operation nodes are adjusted, while keeping the sample tray templates in the created automated process unchanged. This allows for flexible adjustment of the sample tray templates corresponding to the preset operation nodes, facilitating flexible setup of automated processes. Furthermore, the node adjustment operation does not affect the sample tray templates included in the created automated process, ensuring the normal execution of the created automated process.
[0058] For example, before configuring the sample tray template corresponding one-to-one with the target preset operation node in step S1500 in response to the node configuration operation for the target preset operation node among multiple preset operation nodes, the sample traceability preview method of the automated process further includes step S1700. In step S1700, in response to the sample tray creation operation, multiple sample tray templates are created. In some embodiments, a three-dimensional model of the sample placement area can be established using a modeling tool, and this three-dimensional model is the sample tray template. In other embodiments, there may be pre-set graphical components, and the sample tray template is created by combining the graphical components. The node configuration operation includes: for each preset operation node among the target preset operation nodes, selecting a single sample tray template from the multiple sample tray templates as the sample tray template corresponding to that preset operation node. For example, after the user clicks on any target preset operation node, they can enter the sample tray template configuration menu, which can display the names or identifiers of multiple sample tray templates, etc. The user clicks on the name or identifier to determine the corresponding sample tray template for that target preset operation node.
[0059] In the above technical solution, in response to the sample tray creation operation, multiple sample tray templates are created. For each preset operation node in the target preset operation node, a single sample tray template is selected from the multiple sample tray templates to serve as the sample tray template corresponding to that preset operation node. Therefore, various forms of sample tray templates can be created to meet non-standard needs and flexibly adapt to displaying changes in sample position under various circumstances.
[0060] For example, before creating multiple sample tray templates in response to the sample tray creation operation in step S1700, the sample traceability preview method of the automated process further includes step S1800. It is understood that step S1800 can be executed before step S1700. In step S1800, multiple template materials are created in response to the material creation operation. For example, various components can be provided, and template materials can be created by combining the components. For example, components may include sample position components, label components, button components, text components, container components, etc., and a container component can hold 16 sample position components to create template materials with 16 sample positions.
[0061] Step S1700 includes step S1710. In step S1710, multiple sample tray templates are created based on multiple template materials, wherein each sample tray template includes at least one template material from the multiple template materials. A sample tray template can be built using at least one template material from the multiple template materials, that is, a sample tray template includes at least one template material. For example, at least one template material can be selected from the multiple template materials, and components can be added to the selected template material to create a sample tray template. For example, for the template material of the above 16 sample positions, label components and button components can be added to the template material to create a sample tray template.
[0062] In the above technical solution, in response to the material creation operation, multiple template materials are created, and based on these multiple template materials, multiple sample tray templates are created. This allows for the creation of sample tray templates in various formats to meet non-standard needs. Furthermore, creating sample tray templates based on template materials is simple and convenient, improving the user experience.
[0063] By way of example, according to another aspect of the present invention, a sample traceability preview system for an automated process is also provided. Figure 6 A schematic block diagram of a sample traceability preview system 600 for an automated process according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The automated process includes multiple operation nodes executed by an automated operating system for a sample and the execution order of the multiple operation nodes. The sample traceability preview system 600 for the automated process includes a display module 610, a determination module 620, and a traceability preview module 630.
[0064] The display module 610 is used to display multiple preset operation nodes in the human-computer interaction interface, wherein the multiple preset operation nodes include target preset operation nodes, and the target preset operation nodes correspond to sample tray templates. The determination module 620 is used to determine the multiple operation nodes included in the automated process and the execution order of the multiple operation nodes in response to a selection operation and an execution order setting operation for at least some of the multiple preset operation nodes, wherein the multiple operation nodes include at least one target preset operation node. The traceability preview module 630 is used to display the sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node in the human-computer interaction interface in response to a preview operation, and based on the preset position information of the preset traceability sample, display the position traceability information of the preset traceability sample on the sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node according to the execution order of the multiple operation nodes, wherein the preset position information indicates the position of the preset traceability sample in the sample tray template corresponding to at least one target preset operation node, and the position traceability information indicates the position change of the preset traceability sample after the execution of the automated process.
[0065] For example, before determining the multiple operation nodes and their execution order in an automated process in response to a selection operation and an execution order setting operation for at least some of the multiple preset operation nodes, the sample traceability preview system 600 for the automated process further includes: a first configuration module. The first configuration module is used to configure operation areas corresponding one-to-one with the multiple preset operation nodes in response to an operation area configuration operation for the multiple preset operation nodes; the display module 610 includes: a first display submodule. The first display submodule is used to display the preset operation nodes corresponding to the same operation area in the same display area in the human-computer interaction interface.
[0066] For example, before determining the multiple operation nodes and their execution order in an automated process in response to a selection operation and an execution order setting operation for at least some of the multiple preset operation nodes, the sample traceability preview system 600 for the automated process further includes a second configuration module. The second configuration module is used to configure a sample tray template corresponding one-to-one with the target preset operation node in response to a node configuration operation for a target preset operation node among the multiple preset operation nodes.
[0067] For example, the sample traceability preview system 600 for automated processes further includes a first adjustment module. The first adjustment module is used to adjust the sample trays of some or all of the preset operation nodes among multiple preset operation nodes in response to a node adjustment operation, while keeping the sample tray template in the created automated process unchanged. The sample tray adjustment includes configuring sample tray templates for preset operation nodes other than the target preset operation node among the multiple preset operation nodes and / or changing the sample tray template corresponding to the target preset operation node.
[0068] For example, before configuring a sample tray template corresponding one-to-one with a target preset operation node in response to a node configuration operation for a target preset operation node among multiple preset operation nodes, the sample traceability preview system 600 of the automated process further includes: a first creation module. The first creation module is used to create multiple sample tray templates in response to a sample tray creation operation; wherein, the node configuration operation includes: for each preset operation node among the target preset operation nodes, selecting a single sample tray template from the multiple sample tray templates as the sample tray template corresponding to that preset operation node.
[0069] For example, before creating multiple sample tray templates in response to a sample tray creation operation, the automated process sample traceability preview system 600 further includes: a second creation module. The second creation module is used to create multiple template materials in response to a material creation operation; the first creation module includes: a first creation submodule. The first creation submodule is used to create multiple sample tray templates based on the multiple template materials, wherein each sample tray template includes at least one template material from the multiple template materials.
[0070] For example, the sample tray template includes at least one sample position, and each sample position in the sample tray template represents a single location within the sample placement area of the target preset operation node to which the sample tray template belongs; the traceability preview module 630 includes: a first traceability preview submodule. The first traceability preview submodule is used to, based on preset location information and in accordance with the execution order of at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes, sequentially highlight the sample positions corresponding to preset traceability samples on the sample tray template, and / or connect the sample positions corresponding to preset traceability samples in adjacent sample tray templates to form a traceability line for the preset traceability sample, wherein the location traceability information includes the highlighted sample positions and / or the traceability line.
[0071] For example, the traceability preview module 630 includes a second traceability preview submodule. The second traceability preview submodule is used to arrange and display sample tray templates corresponding to at least one target preset operation node in the human-computer interaction interface according to the execution order of at least one target preset operation node among multiple operation nodes.
[0072] For example, in the human-computer interaction interface, at least one sample disk template corresponding to a target preset operation node is arranged and displayed in the order of execution, with any two sample disk templates aligned at the center.
