[0023] Various example implementations of the scheme are described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example Environment

[0025] FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. As shown in FIG. 1, the example environment 100 can include an electronic device 110.

[0026] In this example environment 100, the electronic device 110 can run an application 120 that supports interface interaction. The application 120 can be any suitable type of application for interface interaction, examples of which can include, but are not limited to, a development application or other suitable application that supports workflow creation. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0027] In the environment 100 of FIG. 1, the electronic device 110 can present an interface 150 for supporting creation of a workflow through the application 120 if the application 120 is in an active state.

[0028] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 communicates with a server 130 to implement provisioning of services to the application 120. The electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal including a mobile handset, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a palmtop computer, a portable gaming 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 electronic book device, a game device, or any combination thereof, including an apparatus and peripherals or peripherals thereof, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface to the user (such as “wearable” circuitry, etc.).

[0029] The server 130 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing 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 basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

The server 130 can provide background services for the application 120 in the electronic device 110 that supports virtual scenarios.

[0030] A communication connection can be established between the server 130 and the electronic device 110. The communication connection can be established through a wired manner or a wireless manner. The communication connection can include, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth connection, a mobile network connection, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connection, and the like, and embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this regard. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the electronic device 110 can implement signaling interaction through the communication connection therebetween.

[0031] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only, without implying any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0032] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the drawings.

[0033] Example process

[0034] FIG. 2 illustrates a flowchart of a process 200 of creating a workflow, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In the context of the present disclosure, “creating a workflow” can include various forms, for example, a new workflow can be created using the example process 200, or an existing workflow can be opened and edited using an editing interface as introduced below. The process 200 can be implemented at the electronic device 110. The process 200 will be described below with reference to FIG. 1.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 2, in response to the received editing operation, the electronic device 110 adds a first node for text processing to the node connection graph, at block 210.

[0036] The process 200 will be described below with reference to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 illustrates an example editing interface 300, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 3, the interface 300 can be a node editing interface for creating a workflow. As shown, the electronic device 110 can present a plurality of interface elements corresponding to a plurality of node types in the interface 300, for example, interface element 305-1 to interface element 305-6. As an example, the interface element 305-1 can be used to add a knowledge base node, the interface element 305-2 can be used to add a code node, the interface element 305-3 can be used to add a message node, the interface element 305-4 can be used to add a text processing node, the interface element 305-5 can be used to add an image flow node, and the interface element 305-6 can be used to add a database node.

[0038] In some embodiments, in addition to the above specific nodes, embodiments of the present disclosure can also support the addition of other appropriate types of nodes. For example, the electronic device 110 can support a user to add an already created other workflow as a single processing node to the node connection graph.

[0039] As an example, the electronic device 110 can receive a user selection of the interface element 305-4 to add a first node 315 to the node connection graph. The first node 315 is also referred to as a text processing node.

[0040] At block 220, the electronic device 110 obtains configuration information of the first node via a set of input controls associated with the first node, the configuration information being used to indicate a text processing process corresponding to the first node.

[0041] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the first node 315 can indicate a processing type of the text processing process corresponding to the first node 315. As shown in FIG. 3, the electronic device 110 can provide a first input control 325 for configuring the processing type.

[0042] As an example, the electronic device 110 can present a set of candidate types supported based on a trigger of the input control 325. Such a set of candidate types can correspond to different text processing processes, examples of which can include but are not limited to: string concatenation, string split, text replacement, string word count, text format conversion, text verification, and the like.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 3, the electronic device 110 may, for example, receive a user selection of the type “string concatenation” via the input control 325, and determine that the first node 315 corresponds to a string concatenation process.

[0044] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the first node 315 can also indicate an input parameter of the text processing process. As shown in FIG. 3, the electronic device 110 can provide a second input control 330 for configuring the input parameter.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second input control 330 can support a user to configure the input parameter by referencing a target data object of a second node associated with the first node 315.

[0046] Taking FIG. 3 as an example, in a case where the user selects the data source as “reference”, the electronic device 110 can present at least one node associated with the first node 315 in the second input control 330. Such at least one node may, for example, include one or more upstream nodes of the first node 315, e.g., the second node 310.

[0047] Further, the electronic device 110, for example, can receive a user selection of the second node 310 and can present one or more data objects associated with the second node 310 accordingly. In some embodiments, such one or more data objects can include data objects defined in the second node 310 processing process, or output data objects.

[0048] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110, for example, can also filter or screen specific data objects based on the type of the text processing process. For example, when the text processing process involves processing of a string, the electronic device 110, for example, can display only data objects containing the string.

[0049] Further, the electronic device 110 can receive a user selection of a target data object in the set of data objects and can configure the input parameter accordingly. Taking FIG. 3 as an example, the electronic device 110, for example, can complete the configuration of the input parameter "Stringl" based on the user selection of the target data object "key0". In this way, the value of the input parameter "Stringl" will be determined based on the target data object "key0".

[0050] In some embodiments, the second input control 330 can also support defining a new input parameter. For example, when the user selects the data source as "input", the user can configure the value of the input parameter "String2" via the second input control 330.

[0051] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the first node 315 can also indicate at least one operator of the text processing process. As shown in FIG. 3, the electronic device 110, for example, can receive a user selection of the set button in the fourth input control 335 and can display a third input control 340 for configuring the at least one operator accordingly.

[0052] In some embodiments, the third input control 340 can correspond to the text processing type of the first node 315. For example, when the first node 315 corresponds to "string concatenation", the third input control 340 can be used to configure a "concatenation symbol" for "string concatenation". As another example, when the first node 315 corresponds to "string split", the third input control 340 can be used to configure one or more "split symbols" for "string split".

[0053] As an example, the third input control 340, for example, can indicate that the user selects one or more operators from a set of pre-set operators. Alternatively, the third input control 340, for example, can also support user free input of a specific operator.

[0054] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the first node 315 can further indicate an expression corresponding to the text processing process. As shown in FIG. 3, the electronic device 110 can provide a fourth input control 335 for inputting the expression. In some embodiments, such an expression can indicate a specific operation process of the text processing, which can be expressed by means of appropriate non-programming code, for example.

[0055] Taking "string concatenation" as an example, the fourth input control 335 obtains the expression input by the user, for example, to define the specific concatenation order of "string concatenation". Taking FIG. 3 as an example, the user can input the expression through the fourth input control 335 to specify the processing process of "string concatenation" as connecting the input parameters "String1" and "String2" by using the specified concatenation symbol (for example, comma). In some embodiments, the fourth input control 335 can also support the user to freely input other character content to be concatenated, and the like.

[0056] Based on the above configuration process, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support the user to conveniently configure the text processing process of the to-be-worked workflow in a graphical manner, thereby improving the efficiency of workflow development.

[0057] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also connect the output of the first node 315 to the input of one or more third nodes 320 based on the received connection operation in the node connection graph. Accordingly, in the processing process of the target workflow, the output result of the text processing process of the first node 315 will be provided as the input of the third node 320.

[0058] In block 230, the electronic device 110 creates a target workflow based on the node connection graph.

[0059] In some embodiments, after completing the editing of the node connection graph, the electronic device 110 can trigger the corresponding debugging process based on the control 345, for example. Additionally, the electronic device 110 can also create and publish the corresponding target workflow based on the triggering of the control 350.

[0060] As an example, the electronic device 110 can create a corresponding target workflow based on the configuration information of each node in the node connection graph and the connection between the nodes, and the like. Such a target workflow can be published or shared to other users, for example.

[0061] In some embodiments, such a target workflow can be independently published, or can trigger the creation and / or publication of an application based on the target workflow, for example, a bot or an agent.

[0062] Based on the process described above, embodiments of the present disclosure can support configuring a text processing process of a workflow when processing a request by adding a text processing node, thereby improving the efficiency of workflow development.
