The form types can comprise purchase type forms, sales type forms, close type forms and the like, and each type of form comprises a plurality of controls in the above multiple types of controls. The embodiment establishes the association relationship between each type of form and various controls in advance. For example, the purchase class form includes an input box control "named buyer & base color gray & size 3 × 2", a date selection control "named purchase date & base color light blue & size 4 × 3", an upload control "named purchase item photo & base color white & size 8 × 8", and the like, the reimbursement class form includes an input box control "named reimbursement applicant & base color white & size 3 × 2", an input box control "named reimbursement amount & base color gray & size 3 × 2", an upload control "named invoice picture & base color white & size 6 × 3", and the like, and the association relationship is prestored in the control library 111.

In this embodiment, the preset rules are sorted from high to low according to the calling frequency, and in other embodiments, the preset rules may be sorted from near to far according to the creation date.

The preset algorithm is a merging algorithm.

The sorting the controls in the control library 111 according to the associated form types according to the preset algorithm and the preset rule includes:

a1, acquiring form types corresponding to the controls in the control library 111 and the number of times of the calls of the controls in a first preset time period (for example, the last half year).

For example, taking the form type as the purchase type form as an example, the number of calls of the input box control with the name of reimbursement applicant & under color white & size 3 × 2 is 75852, the number of calls of the input box control with the name of buyer & under color white & size 3 × 2 is 29818, the number of calls of the date selection control with the name of purchase date & under color light blue & size 4 × 3 is 58756, and the number of calls of the upload control with the name of purchase item photo & under color white & size 8 × 8 is 38192.

And A2, filling the name of each control and the calling times thereof into a sequence in a preset format according to the associated form type.

In this embodiment, the sequence of the preset format is { a 1: b1, a 2: b2, A3: b3, … … Ai: bi, wherein Ai represents the ith control, and Bi represents the calling times of the ith control. For example, the sequence of the purchase class form is { "input box control entitled buyer & base gray & size 3 x 2": 75852 "input box control with name buyer & base color white & size 3 x 2": 29818, "date selection control named date of purchase & bottom color light blue & size 4 x 3": 58756, "upload control named purchase item photo & undertone white & size 8 x 8": 38192 times }.

A3, averagely dividing the sequence into a plurality of subsequences each containing a preset number (for example, 2) of controls.

For example, the divided subsequences are: { A1: b1, a 2: b2}, { A3: b3, a 4: b4}, … …, { An-1: bn-1, An: bn }. If the number of the remaining controls is less than the preset number after the sequence is divided into a plurality of subsequences containing the preset number of controls, the remaining controls are put into a new subsequence, and the subsequence containing the preset number of controls can also be filled with default values in a filling mode.

And A4, merging the adjacent subsequences into a sequence, comparing the calling times of all controls contained in the merged sequence, and sequencing the controls in each merged sequence according to the sequence of the calling times of the controls from high to low.

A creating step: responding to a request of a user for newly building a form, building an initial form according to the request, and displaying the initial form in a first preset area of a display interface, wherein the request for newly building the form comprises a form type.

The request of the user for creating the new form may be triggered by a physical key provided by a hardware operation interface of the electronic apparatus 1, or may be triggered by a virtual key displayed on a human-computer interaction interface provided by the electronic apparatus 1. The initial form is a blank form. The type of the form included in the request can be determined by providing an input box to be displayed on the display interface for a user to input text; or by providing a drop-down box displayed on the display interface for the user to determine in which form type to select from the drop-down box.

The first preset area may be a left position of the initial form, or a right or lower position of the initial form.

A display step: and acquiring the sorted control associated with the form type of the initial form from the control library 111, and displaying the associated sorted control in a second preset area of the display interface in a preset manner, so that a user can select the control from the second preset area.

A receiving step: and receiving a control selected by a user, and configuring the control at a corresponding position of the initial form according to the dragging operation of the user on the selected control.

In this embodiment, the preset mode may be a pull-down frame mode, or may be a scroll display mode at preset time intervals (for example, every 10 seconds), and the second preset area is an area on the initial form that does not overlap with the first preset area.

For example, the user may drag and place a selected input box control "name buyer & bottom color gray & size 3 x 2", a date selection control "name purchase date & bottom color light blue & size 4 x 3", and the like at a selected position in the initial form.

A generation step: and generating a new form according to the control selected by the user and the position of the control on the initial form, and storing the generated new form in the database 112.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the form generation program 10 when executed by the processor 12 further performs the following steps prior to the generating step:

For example, in the present embodiment, after the control is placed on the initial form, the electronic apparatus 1 may adjust the name of the control and/or the size of the control by providing an input box for the user to input text, and may also adjust the display color of the control by providing a drop-down box for the user to display alternative colors from the drop-down box. In other embodiments, the user may also resize the control by dragging.

Meanwhile, the initially configured position of the control may not meet the requirements of the user, the user may adjust the position of a single control through a dragging operation, and may also perform one-key typesetting on all selected controls through a layout function of the layout of the control library display interface (for example, the typesetting manner of the one-key typesetting includes basic layout, column separation, mixed layout, column separation offset, and the like).

In another embodiment of the present invention, the form generation program 10 when executed by the processor 12 further performs the following steps after the generating step:

the new form in database 112 is sent to the user in response to a request from the user to invoke the new form.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the form generation program 10 when executed by the processor 12 further implements the steps of:

and updating the control with the adjusted attribute information in each form in the database 112 to the control library 111 every second preset time (for example, 1 month).
