Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If code editing is performed in a sequential manner without framework and hierarchy, then the editing process is simple, but the code editing efficiency is low and modification is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The editing interface is segmented into multiple functional areas: a structure presentation area displaying framework structure and component hierarchy, and an editing area for modifying component attributes. This segmentation allows developers to work with code systematically through hierarchical structures rather than sequential text editing, improving efficiency while maintaining interface organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a spatial dimension to code editing by presenting code structure visually in a tree-like hierarchy rather than linear text. The structure presentation area displays framework structure and component relationships in a multi-dimensional layout, allowing developers to navigate and edit code across different hierarchical levels simultaneously, thereby improving editing efficiency.
2Productivity
If a visualized editing interface with framework structure and hierarchy is implemented, then code editing efficiency is improved, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The structure presentation area serves multiple functions: it displays the framework structure, shows component hierarchy, enables component selection, and provides contextual information for editing. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate interface elements, managing complexity while enhancing development efficiency through an integrated visual interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The structure presentation area acts as an intermediary between the raw code and the developer. It translates complex code structures into visual hierarchical representations, making it easier to understand and edit. This intermediary layer simplifies the interaction between developer and code while maintaining the underlying framework structure.
3Adaptability or versatility
If global control management area is added for code, resource, and style management, then management capability is enhanced, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The global control management area merges code management, resource management, and style management into a single integrated interface region. This consolidation allows developers to access and control multiple aspects of project configuration from one location, enhancing management capability while avoiding the proliferation of separate interface elements.

AI summary
A visualized editing method, device and apparatus are provided. The method includes: displaying an editing interface; in a page presentation state of the editing interface, displaying, on the editing interface, a structure presentation area and an edition area, wherein the structure presentation area comprises a framework structure and a hierarchy of components described with an interface presentation language, and the editing area comprises an editable attribute of each component; in response to a component selection operation, selecting a target component from the components in the framework structure and the hierarchy of the structure presentation area; and in response to an editing operation on the target component, editing logical description codes of an attribute of the target component in the edition area. Accordingly, it is possible to improve code editing efficiency.
