[0023] Sample Environment

[0024] FIG1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. As shown in FIG1 , the example environment 100 may include an electronic device 110 .

[0025] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports interface interaction. Application 120 may be any suitable type of application for interface interaction, including, but not limited to, workflow editing applications. Workflows are used to define and automate a series of steps or tasks in a business process. User 140 may interact with application 120 via electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0026] In the environment 100 of Figure 1, if the application 120 is in an active state, the electronic device 110 can present an interface 150 for supporting interface interaction through the application 120. The interface 150 can be an editing interface for the workflow, and the editing interface is used to edit the node graph corresponding to the workflow. The node graph corresponding to the workflow is a graph that graphically represents each step / task in the workflow. In some embodiments, the node graph may include multiple nodes, and each node may correspond to a step or a task. For any two nodes in the node graph, the two nodes may or may not have an association relationship. Two nodes with an association relationship can be connected in the node graph with any appropriate relationship, for example, connected with a predetermined line element, and the line element can be a straight line, a curve, a broken line, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0027] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 communicates with the server 130 to enable the provision of services for the application 120. The electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a handheld computer, a portable game terminal, a VR / AR device, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio broadcast receiver, an e-book device, a gaming device or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface for the target user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.).

[0028] The server 130 may be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system consisting of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. For example, the server 130 may include a computing system / server such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, and the like. The server 130 may provide background services for the application 120 that supports interface interaction in the electronic device 110.

The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth connection, a mobile network connection, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connection, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the electronic device 110 may implement signaling interaction through the communication connection between the two.

[0030] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0031] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example Interaction

[0033] 2A to 2F illustrate example interfaces 200A to 200F according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, which may be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in FIG1 .

[0034] As shown in Figure 2A, the electronic device 110 may present an interface 200A (workflow editing interface), which may present a node graph 210 corresponding to the workflow. The node graph 210 may include multiple nodes, such as node 211, node 212, node 213, and so on.

[0035] In node graph 210, two associated nodes can be connected using a target method, while two unassociated nodes can be left unconnected. The target method can be based on a predetermined line element or any other appropriate connection method. Line elements can be straight lines, broken lines, curves, etc., which are not described in detail here.

[0036] In certain embodiments, there are two nodes of associated relationship for calling relationship in sequence.Using Fig. 2 A as an example, the relationship corresponding to node 212 and node 213 is a calling relationship in sequence, and in the running process of workflow, node 212 can be called first, and then node 213 can be called.In other embodiments, there are two nodes of associated relationship for the relationship between parent node and child node, that is, there can be hierarchical relationship between two associated nodes, wherein parent node is the upper level corresponding to child node.Using Fig. 2 A as an example, child node 218 and node 212 are the relationship between parent node and child node, wherein node 212 is parent node in this relationship, and child node 218 is child node in this relationship.

[0037] In some embodiments, a parent node may include multiple child nodes, and the number of child nodes included in each parent node can be set according to needs, which will not be described in detail here. Taking Figure 2A as an example, node 212 may correspond to four child nodes.

[0038] In some embodiments, for a parent node (first node) in the node graph 210, the electronic device 110 may present a first set of candidate ports associated with the parent node. The first node may be any appropriate node, such as an agent. The first set of candidate ports may correspond to different types, and the number of the first set of candidate ports may be set as needed. For example, if the first node is an agent, the first set of candidate ports may include at least one of the following: a prompt port, a tools port, a language model port, and a memory port.

[0039] 2A as an example, for node 212, interface 200A may present a first group of candidate ports 214 associated with node 212. The first group of candidate ports 214 may include port 1, port 2, port 3, and port 4, and port 1, port 2, port 3, and port 4 correspond to different types.

[0040] It should be noted that the first group of candidate ports 214 associated with the node 212 presented in the interface 200A may be triggered to display after the node 212 is added to the node graph 210 of the interface 200A. Of course, the first group of candidate ports 214 may also be triggered to display under other triggering conditions. For example, after the node 212 is added, the electronic device 110 may trigger the display of the first group of candidate ports 214 in response to a predetermined trigger button being selected.

[0041] The process of adding node 212 is described below.

[0042] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present a node add control in interface 200A, where the node add control is used to add a node to the node graph 210. In response to selecting the node add control in interface 200A, the electronic device 110 may present a second set of candidate nodes. The second set of candidate nodes may include all selectable parent nodes, including node 212, and may also include non-parent nodes, etc. Taking FIG. 2B as an example, the electronic device 110 may present a second set of candidate nodes 220 in interface 200B. This second set of candidate nodes may include node 212, and may also include node 1, node 2, node 3, etc. The electronic device 110 may also provide a search control in interface 200B to enable the user to search for the node to be added based on the search control. In response to selecting node 212 in the second set of candidate nodes 220 (e.g., by clicking or double-clicking), the electronic device 110 may add node 212 to the node graph 210 in interface 220B.

[0043] In other embodiments, node 212 may be both a parent node corresponding to multiple child nodes and a child node corresponding to other parent nodes. Taking Figure 2C as an example, the interface 200C may include node 230 (third node). The electronic device 110 may present a group of candidate ports 231 associated with the node 230 in the interface 200, wherein the group of candidate ports 231 includes port 5, port 6, and port 7. In response to the selection of port 7 corresponding to the node 230, the electronic device 110 may present a third group of candidate nodes corresponding to port 7, and the third group of candidate nodes includes node 212. In response to the selection of node 212, the electronic device 110 may add node 212 to the node graph 210 in the interface 200C, and at this time, node 212 is a child node corresponding to the parent node 230.

[0044] Taking Figure 2A as an example, for each of port 1, port 2, port 3 and port 4 corresponding to node 212, there is a selection control corresponding to the port (the corresponding selection control in Figure 2 is "+"). The user can click the selection control corresponding to port 4 so that the electronic device 110 can receive the selection of port 4 in the first candidate port 214. In response to the selection of port 4 in the first candidate port 214, the electronic device 110 can provide a first group of candidate nodes 215 corresponding to port 4. The first group of candidate nodes 215 includes child node 1, child node 2, child node 3 and child node 4, etc. It should be noted that this group of candidate nodes 215 can be displayed in any appropriate manner, such as being displayed in the form of a window in the interface 200A (as shown in Figure 2A), or being displayed by jumping from the interface 200A to another interface, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0045] In response to selecting child node 4 (second node) from the first group of candidate nodes 215, electronic device 110 may associate child node 4 with node 212, so that node 212 can call child node 4 during the execution of the workflow. In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may connect node 212 and child node 4 in a target manner in node graph 210 to indicate that node 212 is associated with child node 4. The target manner may be any appropriate manner, such as a manner of connection based on a predetermined line element, or any other appropriate connection manner. The line element may be a straight line, a broken line, a curve, or the like. In some embodiments, child node 4 may also be laid out in a predetermined layout manner in node graph 210, such as being laid out in a plurality of layout manners relative to node 212 in node graph 210, such as being laid out in a bottom layout, a left layout, an upper layout, or the like, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0046] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may select a child node from a set of candidate nodes corresponding to each port of node 212 and associate it with node 212. In other words, node 212 may include multiple child nodes, with each port corresponding to one child node. Taking FIG2D as an example, node 212 may include child nodes 4, 10, 11, and 12, with child nodes 4, 10, 11, and 12 associated with node 212, respectively.

[0047] In some embodiments, the parent node is configured to call multiple child nodes corresponding to the parent node based on the target order during the operation of the workflow. Taking Figure 2D as an example, node 212 is configured to call child node 4, child node 10, child node 11 and child node 12 based on the target order during the operation of the workflow. For each child node in the multiple child nodes included in node 212, the child node can be called 0 times, can be called once or multiple times, etc., which will not be described in detail here. As an example, the electronic device 110 can call child node 10, child node 11, child node 4 and child node 12 in sequence. As another example, the electronic device 110 can call child node 10, child node 11, child node 4, child node 12 and child node 11 in sequence.

[0048] In some embodiments, the target order may be a predetermined order, ie, the system has a built-in logic implementation to set the target order.

[0049] In some other embodiments, the target order may also be an order indicated by configuration information of the node 212. The configuration information may be in any appropriate form, such as a code representation.

[0050] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 provides a viewing control corresponding to each parent node in the node graph 210 to support the user to view the code representation corresponding to the parent node, where the code representation corresponding to the parent node represents the calling order corresponding to multiple child nodes included in the parent node.

[0051] Taking FIG2E as an example, electronic device 110 may provide a first viewing control 241 for node 212 in interface 200E. In response to selection of first viewing control 241, electronic device 110 may present a first code representation 242 for node 212. First code representation 242 indicates the target order in which the multiple child nodes included in node 212 are called, i.e., indicates the target order in which child node 4, child node 10, child node 11, and child node 12 are called.

[0052] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 provides a viewing control corresponding to each subnode in the node graph 210 to enable the user to view the code representation corresponding to the subnode, where the code representation corresponding to the subnode represents the calling logic of the subnode.

[0053] 2F as an example, electronic device 110 may provide a second viewing control 251 for child node 4 in interface 200F. In response to selection of second viewing control 251, electronic device 110 may present a second code representation 252 for child node 4. Second code representation 252 indicates the call logic for child node 4.

[0054] It should be noted that the code representation corresponding to the parent node and the code representation corresponding to the child node can be displayed in any appropriate manner, such as in the form of a window, or by jumping from interface 200F or interface 200E to another interface for display, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0055] Based on this approach, embodiments of the present disclosure can associate multiple child nodes with a first node based on a set of candidate ports corresponding to the first node, so that the first node can call these multiple child nodes during the execution of the workflow. Thus, embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the efficiency and flexibility of workflow editing.
