Operation processing methods, devices and related equipment
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510379427.5, filed on March 26, 2025, entitled "Work Processing Method, Apparatus and Related Equipment", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to the field of data processing technology, and in particular to a job processing method, apparatus and related equipment. Background Technology
[0003] In real-world applications, users may need to process data on web pages while working, such as analyzing form data or adding new data. For example, in a financial approval scenario, users might approve expense reports from various departments on a web page. During the approval process, users might need to accumulate the total amount from one or more departments' expense reports. In this case, users can click a jump button on the web page to navigate to Microsoft Office and use the appropriate extensions to continue their work. For instance, they could navigate to Excel and use Excel's SUM function (an extension) to sum the total amount from one or more departments' expense reports on the web page.
[0004] In practice, for specific browser types, developers can customize the execution script that is bound to the extension, and develop a connection file for the extension to connect to the browser, as well as job function code that is automatically executed after the extension is called. Thus, while the user is performing tasks on a webpage in the browser, the browser and the extension can establish a communication connection through the execution script and the connection file, and continue to perform the corresponding operations in the Office software according to the operation logic indicated by the job function code.
[0005] However, the large number of browser types and extensions required necessitates developers creating customized code for different browser types and extensions, resulting in higher development costs. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of this, this application provides a job processing method to enable the invocation of an extension program in the target program to continue executing a job on a webpage, thereby reducing development costs. This application also provides a corresponding job processing apparatus, computing device, computer-readable storage medium, and computer program product.
[0007] Firstly, this application provides a job processing method, which can be executed by a corresponding job processing device (which may be a console hereinafter referred to as a console). Specifically, the job processing device receives a calling instruction sent from a browser based on a preset protocol. The calling instruction includes a target field, the value of which includes an identifier of an operation template and an identifier of the data to be processed. The operation template includes multiple operations, such as an operation flow for defining multiple operations and their execution order. The data to be processed is data associated with a job in the browser, such as form data related to the job in a webpage of the browser. Then, the job processing device obtains the operation template according to the identifier of the operation template in the calling instruction, and calls at least one extension program corresponding to the target program to execute multiple operations in the operation template on the data to be processed according to the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed in the calling instruction. Each of the at least one extension program is used to execute at least one operation in the operation template. For example, the target program may be Office software, such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.
[0008] In this way, the job processing device can call the corresponding extension program to perform multiple operations in the operation template according to the operation template indicated by the call command, so as to continue the job in the target program. This allows any type of browser to send a call command indicating the operation template and the data to be processed, and the job processing device can call any extension program, thereby decoupling the browser and extension program. As a result, developers do not need to perform customized development for various browsers and various extension programs, which can effectively reduce the development cost of developers.
[0009] In one possible implementation, when the job processing device invokes at least one extension program corresponding to the target program to execute multiple operations in the operation template on the data to be processed based on the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed in the invocation instruction, specifically, it may start the target program and create a work file. The data to be processed is then processed within the work file, where the operations in the operation template are executed. This work file may include a workbook, such as a Word document in Word office software. Thus, the job processing device can load the extension programs corresponding to each operation in the operation template, and after at least one extension program has been loaded, it invokes at least one extension program corresponding to the target program based on the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed in the invocation instruction, executing multiple operations in the operation template on the data to be processed within the work file. In this way, the job processing device automatically starts the target program and sets up the data processing environment (including creating a work file and invoking extension programs), achieving decoupling between the browser and the extension programs, thereby effectively reducing development costs for developers.
[0010] In one possible implementation, when determining the loading status of an extension, the job processing device can poll the values of variables in a registry key, where each variable corresponds to at least one extension. Then, based on the variable values, the job processing device can determine the loading status of at least one extension, including whether loading is complete. In this way, by polling the variable values in the registry key, the job processing device can sense the loading status of extensions and, upon determining that an extension has finished loading, promptly invoke the extension to perform the corresponding operations on the data to be processed, thereby executing the job within the target program.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the preset protocol is the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) protocol, and the target field is the path field in the URL protocol. When the job processing device retrieves the operation template based on the identifier of the operation template in the invocation command, it can specifically parse the invocation command to obtain the value of the path field. The value of the path field includes the identifier of the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed. Thus, the job processing device can retrieve the operation template based on the identifier. In this way, the job processing device can determine which operation template to use to continue executing the job based on the invocation command of the custom URL protocol, ensuring that subsequent operations on the job are performed correctly.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the operation template is a macro, which includes an operation flow that includes multiple operations executed sequentially.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the job processing device can also acquire configuration operation data before receiving the invocation command sent by the browser based on a preset protocol. This configuration operation data consists of user-inputted operation template data. The job processing device then generates the operation template based on the configuration operation data. In this way, the job processing device supports user-defined configurations for data processing, improving the flexibility of data processing and enhancing the user experience.
[0014] Secondly, this application provides a job processing apparatus, comprising: a communication module for receiving a call instruction sent from a browser based on a preset protocol, the call instruction including a target field, the value of the target field including an identifier of an operation template and an identifier of data to be processed, the operation template including multiple operations, and the data to be processed being data associated with a job in the browser; an acquisition module for acquiring an operation template according to the identifier of the operation template in the call instruction; and a call module for calling at least one extension program corresponding to the target program to execute multiple operations in the operation template on the data to be processed according to the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed in the call instruction, each of the at least one extension program being used to execute at least one operation in the operation template.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the calling module is configured to: start the target program; create a work file in which at least one operation in the operation template is performed on the data to be processed, the work file may include a workbook; load the extension programs corresponding to each operation in the operation template; and after at least one extension program is loaded, call at least one extension program corresponding to the target program according to the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed in the calling instruction, and perform multiple operations in the operation template on the data to be processed in the work file.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the job processing apparatus further includes: a polling module for polling the values of variables in a registry key, the variables corresponding to at least one extension; and a determining module for determining the loading status of at least one extension based on the values of the variables, the loading status including loading completion.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the preset protocol is the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) protocol, and the target field is the path field in the URL protocol; the acquisition module is used to: parse the call command to obtain the value of the path field, the value of the path field including the identifier of the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed; and acquire the operation template according to the identifier of the operation template.
[0018] In one possible implementation, the operation template is a macro, which includes an operation flow that includes multiple operations executed sequentially.
[0019] In one possible implementation, the communication module is further configured to acquire configuration operation data before receiving a call instruction sent by the browser based on a preset protocol, wherein the configuration operation data is operation template data input by the user; the device also includes a generation module, which is configured to generate an operation template based on the configuration operation data.
[0020] The job processing apparatus provided in the second aspect corresponds to the job processing method provided in the first aspect. Therefore, the technical effects of any implementation in the second aspect can be referred to the technical effects of the corresponding implementation in the first aspect, and will not be repeated here.
[0021] Thirdly, this application provides a computing device, which includes at least one processor and at least one memory; the at least one memory is used to store instructions, and the at least one processor executes the instructions stored in the at least one memory to cause the computing device to perform the job processing method in the first aspect or any possible implementation thereof. It should be noted that the memory may be integrated into the processor or may be independent of the processor. The computing device may also include a bus. The processor is connected to the memory via the bus. The memory may include readable storage memory and random access memory.
[0022] Fourthly, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed on at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform the job processing method described in the first aspect or any possible implementation thereof.
[0023] Fifthly, this application provides a computer program product containing instructions that, when run on at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform the job processing method in the first aspect or any possible implementation of the first aspect.
[0024] Based on the implementation methods provided in the above aspects, this application can be further combined to provide more implementation methods. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To reduce development costs when calling extensions in the target program to continue executing tasks on a webpage, this application provides a task processing method. Based on multiple operations defined in the operation template, the corresponding extension of the target program is called to continue executing tasks in the browser (such as data processing tasks or operations in the browser). This decouples the browser from the extension, eliminating the need for developers to perform customized development for various browsers and extensions, thereby effectively reducing development costs.
[0035] The technical solution to be protected in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] Referring to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of an exemplary computing device according to this application. As shown in Figure 1, the computing device 10 includes a browser 101, a console 102, a target program 103, and multiple extension programs. For ease of understanding, Figure 1 illustrates the computing device 10 with four extension programs, namely extension programs 201 to 204.
[0037] The console 102, or job processing device, can be an application running on the computing device 10, used to launch the target program 103 and call various extension programs. In practical applications, the console 102 can be installed simultaneously with the target program 103 and multiple extension programs on the computing device 10.
[0038] The target program 103 can be a program that supports job execution within a browser, such as Office, WPS, or other office software, or other programs that provide basic functionality. A job within a browser refers to a task to be performed in the browser environment or an operation to be performed on data displayed on a webpage. For example, in a financial approval scenario, a job within a browser could be a task to approve multiple expense reports presented on a webpage.
[0039] Extension programs are used to provide extended functions to the target program 103, thereby combining the basic functions of the target program 103 with the extended functions provided by the extension programs, which can improve work efficiency. For example, when the target program 103 is Office software, the extension program can be an Office add-in (such as an Office add-in for converting document formats, an Office add-in for processing data in forms, etc.). Extension programs 201 to 204 in the computing device 10 can provide different extended functions.
[0040] In practical applications, users can perform tasks in browser 101, such as processing form data on web pages displayed by browser 101. Furthermore, during the user's task, they can choose to jump to the target program 103 to call the corresponding extension to continue the task.
[0041] At this time, browser 101 can send a call instruction based on a preset protocol to console 102 based on the user's operation. This call instruction includes a target field, the value of which includes an identifier for the operation template and an identifier for the data to be processed. The operation template can be pre-configured, and it includes multiple operations required for the task in browser 101. The data to be processed could be, for example, form data from a webpage. Console 102 can obtain the corresponding operation template based on the identifier of the operation template carried in the call instruction, and, based on the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed carried in the call instruction, call at least one extension program corresponding to the target program to execute the multiple operations in the operation template on the data to be processed. When multiple extension programs are called, each extension program is used to execute at least one operation in the operation template, and different extension programs can be responsible for performing different operations.
[0042] In this way, the console 102 can call the corresponding extension to perform multiple operations in the operation template of the data to be processed according to the operation template indicated by the call command, so as to continue the job in the target program 103. This allows any type of browser to send a call command to indicate the operation template and the data to be processed, and the console 102 can call any extension, thereby decoupling the browser 101 and the extension. As a result, developers do not need to perform customized development for various browsers and various extensions, which can effectively reduce the development cost of developers.
[0043] For example, the above describes the process of redirecting a job in browser 101 to target program 103 for continued execution, implemented by console 102 through software.
[0044] In other implementations, the console 102 can also be implemented in hardware. In this case, the console 102 can be implemented using a processor or a physical device including a processor. The processor can be a central processing unit (CPU), or any combination of an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic device (PLD), a complex programmable logical device (CPLD), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a generic array logic (GAL), a system-on-chip (SoC), a software-defined infrastructure (SDI) chip, an artificial intelligence (AI) chip, or a data processing unit (DPU). Furthermore, the console 102 can include one or more processors, and the types of processors can be one or more. The specific number and types of processors can be determined according to the actual application's business requirements; this application does not impose any limitations on this.
[0045] It is worth noting that the computing device 10 shown in Figure 1 is merely an illustrative example and is not intended to limit the scope of the application. For example, other possible computing devices 10 may include more types or more numbers of target programs or extension programs. Alternatively, in other possible computing devices 10, the console 102 may be integrated with the target program 103. In this case, the browser 101 can directly send a call instruction to the target program 103 and determine the operation template and the data to be processed based on the call instruction, thereby calling the corresponding extension program in the target program 103 to continue executing the job.
[0046] Next, various non-limiting specific implementation methods of the job processing procedure will be described in detail.
[0047] Referring to Figure 2, a flowchart illustrating a job processing method according to this application is provided. This method can be applied to the computing device 10 shown in Figure 1, or to other applicable computing devices. The following description uses the computing device 10 shown in Figure 1 as an example.
[0048] The job processing method shown in Figure 2 may specifically include:
[0049] S201: Browser 101 sends a call instruction of a preset protocol to console 102. The call instruction includes a target field. The value of the target field includes the identifier of the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed. The operation template includes multiple operations. The data to be processed is data associated with the job in browser 101.
[0050] The data associated with the job in browser 101 refers to the data that needs to be processed when the user jumps to another program to continue executing the job. For example, for the job of approving expense reports on a webpage, the data associated with the job (i.e., the data to be processed) is one or more expense reports to be processed, such as one or more expense reports used to calculate the total expense amount.
[0051] In practical applications, users can use browser 101 to access web pages and perform tasks on those pages, such as viewing form data or performing data analysis. Furthermore, if browser 101 does not provide the necessary functions for the user's task on the data to be processed (such as calculating the average of the form data), the user can redirect the task to target program 103 and call the corresponding extension program to continue executing the task within target program 103, thus performing the desired operations on the data to be processed.
[0052] In one possible implementation, the webpage can be configured with a function button for program navigation. While working on the webpage, the user can click this function button to navigate to the target program 103 and continue executing the task. Correspondingly, after the user clicks the function button, the browser 101 can generate a call command based on a pre-configured communication protocol and send the call command to the console 102 to invoke the console 102. For example, the browser 101 can send a call command based on the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) protocol to the console 102, which may carry an identifier for the operation template and an identifier for the data to be processed.
[0053] For example, during the installation of target program 103 and multiple extension programs on computing device 10, console 102 can be installed simultaneously on computing device 10. Console 102 can be registered in the operating system (such as Windows) of computing device 10, and browser 101 can be associated with console 102 within computing device 10. For instance, a mapping relationship can be established between the identifier of browser 101 and the identifier of console 102 within computing device 10. After executing the URL protocol on the webpage, browser 101 can invoke console 102 associated with browser 101 based on URL protocol call commands, such as the shell and open commands built into the operating system as shown in Figure 3, thereby achieving cross-process communication between browser 101 and console 102.
[0054] The command includes a target field, whose values include the identifier of the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed. For example, the identifier of the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed can be the value of the parameter "%1" in the command shown in Figure 3. Thus, the console 102 parses the command to obtain the value of this parameter, that is, the identifier of the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed. For example, the identifier of the data to be processed can be, for instance, the identifier of a form; correspondingly, the data to be processed is the data in that form.
[0055] As an implementation example, when the default protocol is specifically the URL protocol, the target field in the invocation command can be the path field in the URL protocol, which can be used to indicate the address being accessed. In practical applications, developers can redefine the path field in the URL protocol so that the path field in the invocation command generated by the browser can carry new information, specifically, the identifier of the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed.
[0056] In other implementation examples, the target field in the call instruction can also be the query field in the URL protocol. This query field can be used to indicate the information content to be requested. Thus, developers can redefine the query field in the URL protocol in advance so that the query field in the call instruction generated by the browser 101 can carry the identifier of the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed.
[0057] In other embodiments, the communication protocol used by browser 101 to send the call command may also be other types of protocols, and there is no limitation on this.
[0058] An operation template includes multiple operations. For example, an operation template can be a macro in the target program 103, which can include an operation flow. This operation flow includes multiple operations that process the data associated with the job sequentially. In practical applications, the console 102 can be configured with multiple operation templates, such as operation template A and operation template B as shown in Figure 4. Different operation templates can include different operations or operation flows with different execution orders. Thus, the browser 101 can use the identifier of the operation template to indicate the operation template that the console 102 needs to load and execute.
[0059] Operation templates can be predefined by developers, such as allowing developers to schedule multiple operations to be performed sequentially on data. In this way, computing device 10 can automatically execute the entire process of redirecting a job on a webpage to the target program 103 without user intervention, thereby simplifying user operations.
[0060] Alternatively, the operation template can be defined by the user. For example, the user can input operation template data in the target program 103, and the console 102 or the target program 103 can use this operation template data as configuration operation data, generate the corresponding operation template based on the configuration operation data, and associate the operation template with a function button on the webpage. Thus, when the user clicks the function button on the webpage, the browser 101 can provide the identifier of the operation template associated with the function button to the console 102. In this way, the computing device 10 supports user-defined configurations for data processing, improving the flexibility of data processing and enhancing the user experience.
[0061] In practical applications, the call instructions sent by browser 101 to console 102 can also carry more types of information, such as the identifier for the target program and information for identity login.
[0062] For example, when computing device 10 includes multiple programs, and the job in browser 101 can continue to execute within these multiple programs, the calling instruction sent by browser 101 to console 102 can also carry the identifier of the target program. This identifier can be used to indicate the target program among the multiple programs for continuing to execute the job. For instance, computing device 10 may include multiple office software programs, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. In the case of processing form data on a webpage (such as bolding the data in the form), browser 101 can send the identifier of Excel (i.e., the identifier of the target program) to console 102 to instruct console 102 to continue executing the job in Excel. The program capable of continuing to execute the job refers to a program that has the function of performing corresponding operations on the data to be processed associated with the job. For example, when summing form data on a webpage, both Excel and PowerPoint may have the function of summing the form data, thus allowing the job to continue to execute within Excel and PowerPoint. Word may not have the function to sum up form data, so the job cannot be executed in Word.
[0063] S202: Console 102 obtains the operation template based on the identifier of the operation template in the call instruction.
[0064] The obtained operation template includes multiple operations, which are the operations required to process the data to be processed in relation to the job.
[0065] In one possible implementation, as shown in Figure 5, during the installation of multiple extensions, the computing device 10 can register predefined protocols (such as URL protocols), operation template identifiers, and parameter placeholders for the identifiers of the data to be processed within the protocol locally. It can then bind the protocol and parameter placeholders to the console 102, for example, by establishing a mapping relationship between the protocol name, the parameter placeholder name, and the identifier of the console 102. The parameter placeholders indicate the position of the parameter values of the operation template identifier and the identifier of the data to be processed within the target field. Simultaneously, the console 102 can be associated with virtualized parameters of a general operation template (or a virtual operation template), as shown in Figure 5.
[0066] In this way, after being invoked by browser 101, console 102 can parse the parameters passed by browser 101. Specifically, it can parse the values of parameter placeholders to obtain the identifier of the operation template (as well as the identifier of the data to be processed and other information), and assign the identifier of the operation template to the virtualization parameter. Thus, console 102 can load the actual operation template according to the identifier of the operation template. For example, when the identifier of the operation template is used to indicate operation template A, console 102 can load operation template A according to the identifier of the operation template, as shown in Figure 4.
[0067] During the installation of the extension, users do not need to be aware of or intervene in the process of protocol registration, parameter placeholder registration, and virtualization parameter association between console 102 and the general operation template, which simplifies the user's operation and improves the user's installation experience.
[0068] S203: Based on the operation template and the identifier of the data to be processed in the call instruction, the console 102 calls at least one extension program corresponding to the target program 103 to perform multiple operations in the operation template on the data to be processed, wherein each called extension program is used to perform at least one operation in the operation template.
[0069] In one possible implementation, after console 102 is invoked, it can start and run target program 103 through functions provided by the operating system. For example, it can start and run target program 103 from multiple programs in computing device 10 based on the target program identifier provided by browser 101. After starting and running, target program 103 can load corresponding extensions. Specifically, target program 103 can load all extensions by default after starting and running; for example, Office software can load all Office add-ins (i.e., extensions) by default after starting and running. Alternatively, target program 103 can load only at least one extension corresponding to multiple operations in the operation template. For example, it can load only at least one extension required to execute the job based on the operation template received by console 102 or the loading instruction sent by console 102. After the extensions are loaded, console 102 can use the loaded extensions to execute multiple operations in the operation template on the data to be processed in target program 103.
[0070] In some practical applications, the data to be processed may need to be processed within a working file created by the target program 103. For example, the working file created by the target program 103 may be a workbook. Specifically, when the target program 103 is Word, the created working file may be a Word document; when the target program 103 is Excel, the created working file may be an Excel document, etc.
[0071] However, the target program 103 may not notify the console 102 whether the working file has been created and the extensions have been loaded. Therefore, the console 102 can synchronize its status with multiple extensions to determine when to initiate the execution of the operation template, i.e., to initiate the execution of the operation template after confirming that the working file has been created and the extensions have been loaded.
[0072] For example, as shown in Figure 6, console 102 can control the target program 103 to start and run. After starting and running, the target program 103 can create a working file and, after creating the working file, begin loading one or more extensions. As shown in Figure 6, after the target program 103 finishes loading the extension, the extension can update the value of the variable corresponding to the extension in the registry key. Correspondingly, console 102 can poll the value of the variable in the registry key, which indicates whether the extension has finished loading. For example, when the value of the variable is 0, it indicates that the target program 103 has not loaded the extension corresponding to the variable; when the value of the variable is 1, it indicates that the target program 103 has finished loading the extension corresponding to the variable. In this way, console 102 can determine the loading status of at least one extension corresponding to multiple operations in the operation template based on the polled variable values. This loading status indicates whether the extension has finished loading. For example, the loading status can include two states: loading complete or loading incomplete, corresponding to the variable values of 1 and 0, respectively. Since loading the extension depends on the target program 103 completing the creation of the working file first, the completion of the extension loading indicates that the working file has been created. Thus, once the console 102 determines that at least one extension has been loaded, it can begin to execute multiple operations in the operation template.
[0073] In this case, there can be one variable in the registry key. When the target program 103 has finished loading all the extensions, one of the extensions can update the value of the variable in the registry key. For example, the last extension can update the value of the variable in the registry key, or a pre-specified extension can update the value of the variable in the registry key, etc.
[0074] Alternatively, there can be multiple variables in the registry key, and each variable can correspond to an extension that the target program 103 can load. Thus, for one extension, after the target program 103 finishes loading the extension, the extension can update the value of the variable corresponding to that extension in the registry key. Accordingly, the console 102 can determine whether the extension has finished loading by polling the value of this variable. Therefore, the console 102 can determine whether the target program 103 has finished loading multiple corresponding extensions by polling the values of multiple variables in the registry key.
[0075] Furthermore, console 102 can poll the values of variables in the registry keys corresponding to at least one extension participating in the job execution, based on the operation template. And, after determining that at least one extension has finished loading based on these variables, console 102 can begin executing multiple operations in the operation template even if other extensions not participating in the job execution have not finished loading. For example, target program 103 can load extensions 201 to 204 sequentially, and the extensions participating in the job execution in browser 101 are extensions 202 and 203. During the loading of each extension by target program 103, console 102 can poll the values of variables in the registry keys corresponding to extensions 202 and 203. And, after determining that target program 103 has finished loading extensions 202 and 203, console 102 can begin executing multiple operations in the operation template even if target program 103 has not yet loaded extension 204. This improves the overall efficiency of continuing the job in target program 103.
[0076] After determining that at least one extension program participating in the job has been loaded (or all extension programs have been loaded), console 102 can obtain the data to be processed in the job based on the identifier of the data to be processed, and can call at least one extension program corresponding to multiple operations in the operation template to perform corresponding operations on the data to be processed (that is, execute multiple operations in the operation template) based on the operation template.
[0077] As an example, the extensions loaded by the target program 103 can provide atomic-level operations (or atomic-level functions), such as login, setting the point of view (POV), and opening a form. Furthermore, each extension can provide a calling interface, which could be, for example, the plugin function interface shown in Figure 4 or a component object model (COM), allowing the console 102 to call the extension to perform corresponding operations through the interfaces provided by each extension.
[0078] For example, taking opening a form in Excel as an example, as shown in Figure 7, the operation template loaded by console 102 can be a macro. This macro can include four operations executed sequentially: login, setting POV, opening the form, and summing. Console 102 can then pass the identifier (and other information) of the data to be processed to the macro and execute each operation within it sequentially. Specifically, during the login operation, console 102 can call extension 1 to log in and verify the user's identity using the interface provided by extension 1. During the setting POV operation, console 102 can call extension 2 to set the POV members in the form using the interface provided by extension 2, such as filtering the data in the form by setting POV members. During the opening the form operation, console 102 can call extension 3 to access the form on the webpage using the interface provided by extension 3. The identifier of the data to be processed can be passed as a parameter to extension 3 to obtain the data to be processed in the form. When performing a cumulative summation operation, console 102 can call extension 4 according to the interface provided by extension 4 to sum the data of the POV members in the form and obtain the corresponding sum value, as shown in Figure 7. In this way, console 102 can continue to perform operations on the form in Excel office software.
[0079] Thus, after the user clicks the function button on the webpage to jump to the program to execute the job, the console 102 can determine the operation template and the data to be processed according to the call instruction of the preset protocol sent by the browser 101, and call the corresponding extension program to execute multiple operations in the operation template on the data to be processed, so as to continue to execute the job in the target program 103, thereby realizing the automated continuation of the job.
[0080] Furthermore, for any type of browser, it only needs to provide calling instructions for indicating operation templates and data to be processed. The console 102 can then call any extension, thereby decoupling the browser 101 from the extension. This eliminates the need for developers to perform customized development for various browsers and extensions, effectively reducing development costs and improving the scalability and flexibility of interaction between the web page and the extension.
