1) read in traditional form information:

See Fig. 1, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, according to step 402-403, by client computer 100 provided by the invention, read the image that comprises traditional form information by scanner 108 from described paper printing medium, by image identification and converting unit 116, the image transitions that reads is called the Word file of .DOC for expansion;

Again according to step 404, the interface that provides by common object repository 114, traditional form information read module 301 in the traditional form recognition unit 113 reads in the traditional form information in the above-mentioned Word file, comprise: the font of text, size of images, position etc. in the content of the height of the pattern of position in document file page of form quantity, form, form lines, wire frame, form line number, columns, each cell, width, cell, the cell in the document, and, these information are stored in the routine data district 112 of system storage 102 according to step 405.

2) Identification and analysis:

See Fig. 1, Fig. 3 and Fig. 5, according to step 501-503,302 pairs of traditional form informations that read in of computation analysis module in the traditional form recognition unit 113 carry out data unit and system conversion, obtain Web list layout and appearance information one to one, cell as total total how many row, every row has plurality of units lattice etc., these information is write the XML character string 117 of record Web list template data, and be stored in the routine data district 112 of system storage.These layouts and appearance information specifically comprise: list block split position information, lines, wire frame style information, cell line number, columns, each cell height, width, cell sum, size of images, memory location etc.

Then, be written in order to determine the information characteristics storehouse 241 of control and control field attribute defaultly from server 200 shown in Figure 2.This information characteristics storehouse 241 includes the information characteristics of control and control field attribute, and this information characteristics storehouse 241 forms by user and system interaction, can expand according to user's needs.

According to step 505-506, identification module 303 in the traditional form recognition unit 113 is after to the traversal of the cell in the traditional form information, determine related between non-empty cell lattice and adjacent blank cell defaultly, the principle of this deterministic process is: non-empty cell lattice are related with the blank cell on its right side, when the right side does not have blank cell, related with the blank cell of below, when right side and below all do not have blank cell, then according to step 511, these non-empty cell lattice are nonreciprocal control of correspondence independently; The meaning of this association is: the source that can be used as the information key word of determining corresponding control class of adjacent blank cell and field attribute after the text in these non-empty cell lattice defaultly.Such as, the corresponding label control that directly shows " date " printed words of cell that has comprised text " date ", blank cell adjacent on the right of its is then according to " date " printed words, and one of correspondence is with the text box of calendar control and is bound the field of a date type.

Then, according to step 507-510, determine the pairing control kind of each cell, be interactive controls according to the control in the Web data form of its establishment promptly defaultly, or the nonreciprocal control.The principle of this deterministic process institute foundation is: the corresponding nonreciprocal control of non-empty cell lattice, comprise: label control, picture control, the Input that can not edit etc. specifically are that key word is compared in information characteristics storehouse 241 and searched the corresponding controls classification with the cell content; The corresponding interactive controls of blank cell comprises: editable single file, editable multiline text frame control, combobox control, list control, single selected control part, final election control or calendar control etc.; Be that key word is compared in information characteristics storehouse 241 and searched the corresponding controls classification specifically, if search less than then being set to default attribute with the content of the related non-empty cell lattice of adjacent with it (left or top).For example: determine a cell that has comprised text " name ", then the label control of its corresponding direct videotex " name "; And the cell that is somebody's turn to do " name " is right-hand or the blank cell of below, be that the corresponding controls classification is searched in key word 241 comparisons in the information characteristics storehouse then with " name ", the corresponding combobox control of final definite this blank cell in order to selection name in list of names, perhaps filled in the Input of name by the user, these two kinds of controls all are interactive controls.

Simultaneously, identification module 303 in the traditional form recognition unit 113 is determined each cell corresponding controls field attribute also defaultly, the principle of this deterministic process is: the field of the corresponding regular length of non-empty cell lattice, character types, perhaps corresponding fixing picture URL, the i.e. memory location of picture; Blank cell is that the field attribute of determining correspondence searched in key word in information characteristics storehouse 241 with adjacent related non-empty cell lattice content; Such as, a content is the cell of text " name ", the corresponding controls field data types is " character type ", length is 4, the text box field data types of the blank cell correspondence that it is adjacent is " character type ", and length is 8, promptly allows to insert the name of four Chinese character length.

3) Revise and set:

Above step has been determined the pairing control of each cell defaultly, and this control is to the preset data type and the field length of the data source field of association, but generally, deviation to some extent still among these default definite results.These deviations at first come from the deviation of the adjacent cells lattice association that the traditional form form that varies brings, such as, cell that has comprised content of text improperly with adjacent another one blank cell pairing; Secondly in information characteristics storehouse 241, can't find with the cell that comprises content of text in the identical value of text, thereby can't determine the data type and the length of pairing control of adjacent blank cell and associate field, can only be set to default value according to step, and this default value might not meet reality or user's expection.

User in the traditional form recognition unit 113 revises with setting module 304 and provide an interaction page on this question on the display of client computer 100, and the user can pass through this interaction page, utilizes mouse and keyboard by the above-mentioned deviation of mutual correction.

As shown in Figure 6, in this interaction page, each nonreciprocal control of determining can put demonstration with traditional form units corresponding case defaultly, and the default attribute of each interactive controls all is suspicious, so a combobox control all can occur on corresponding position, the shown default value of this control is the value that the identification module 303 in the traditional form recognition unit 113 is determined in above-mentioned identification and analytical procedure.The user can make amendment by clicking this combobox, selects the value that the user is desired in the tabulation that demonstrates, to determine the correct control type and the data type of associate field.The all amateur term of statement text of all values in this tabulation, but meet the statement text that reality is accustomed to.Such as: the identification module 303 in the traditional form recognition unit 113 is that a cell that includes content of text " name " has determined that the pairing control of its adjacent blank cell is an Input defaultly, the statement text of default demonstration is " an input name ", and the user can directly import name in text frame control when using this Web list.This moment, the user then can select " import name or select name in list of names " in the tabulation of combobox, thereby determined another index value, the corresponding drop-down text box control of this index value.The user both can directly import name in this drop-down text box when using this Web list later on, also can click combobox, selected a name in the list of names that shows.

Shown in Fig. 7-A, in identical interaction page, the control of being set up adjacent association by the identification module in the traditional form recognition unit 113 303 can connect with a fine rule defaultly, the user is after selecting " reassigning input field " on the right mouse button menu that does not need on the mutual label control, select corresponding interactive controls can change adjacent association again, see Fig. 7-B.

Afterwards, in the Web data form, need to be provided with association between the interactive controls.The meaning of setting this association is, carries out when mutual when the user utilizes the list of this dynamic creation, and the change of control data can influence other control and set new data range of choice, and this helps improving user experience and raises the efficiency.Such as, when the user selects " sales department " in a combobox, another one is in order to only to show that the employee's of sales department list of names is selective in the combobox of selecting employee's name, when in this combobox, choosing a name, another one is in order to then only to show the client list relevant with this name in the combobox that shows customer list, the value in order to a plurality of Inputs of demonstration customer data in addition then changes thereupon.Its essence is that the identification field with each control is an index, revise a character string field in first tables of data 242, this string table is understood the master control of this control and other control and by control relationship and rule change etc.; An embodiment of this related method to set up is as shown in Figure 8: in same interaction page, on the right mouse button menu of each interactive controls, select " influencing other input field ", select the interactive controls influenced by it again, on the menu that ejects, select again to be subjected to its scope that influences and rule, comprise the value of control, the state and the appearance attribute of control.User in the traditional form recognition unit 113 revises with the automatic judgement of setting module 304 meetings, prompting and eliminating and can cause the closed loop of system mistake related, and promptly the A control influences the B control, and the B control influences the C control, and the C control influences the situation of A control again.

As Fig. 6, Fig. 7-A, Fig. 7-B and shown in Figure 8, with regard to the classification of control and field attribute and user interactions the time, program interface provided by the invention all adopts and meets the statement text that the non-computer professional distinguishes custom, the all corresponding a kind of control of each bar statement text, perhaps one group of field attribute that comprises data type and field length, this corresponding informance is stored in the information characteristics storehouse 241.

4) Send and storage:

When the user confirms to submit to by clicking " submissions " or " finishing " button, promptly represent the identification of list and the end of reciprocal process, obtained the complete information data of the Web list template that traditional form information that basis reads in will create.See Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, sending module 305 in the traditional form recognition unit 113 is stored in the Web list layout of above-mentioned correspondence and appearance information and Web list template data in the routine data district 112 of system storage with XML character string 117 forms, and this XML character string 117 sent to server 200, by it these data are write first tables of data 242.

5) Resolve:

See Fig. 2 and Fig. 9, when the user of a networking client 100 clicks a hypertext link at certain Web page, this point hits to described server 200 and proposes one for the mutual application of the Web data form of storing template information, according to step 901, Web list template resolution unit 231 is extracted the list identification parameter from this request.

List identification parameter with extraction in step 901 is an index, according to step 902, Web list template resolution unit 231 extracts the control field that all are associated with this sign from first tables of data 242, the identification field, classification field, default value field, appearance attribute field, the location field that comprise control, and embody the relevant character string field that other control is influenced, indicate the path of second tables of data 243 of binding and the field of sign in addition with the example of this template that will create.

According to step 903, data field value according to above extraction, Web list template resolution unit 231 is at a new Web page, or in a DIV label of an existing page, thereby all controls of dynamic creation in service are created an example of this template, and bind corresponding field in second tables of data 243 for all controls in the example according to step 904, again according to step 905, load the example list backstage responder 232 that influences other control behavior that can trigger when corresponding control data change, at last according to step 906, this example is sent to the networking client 100 of filing a request with hypertext language form (HTML) mutual to respond.

So far, complete passing through is as shown in figure 10 read in traditional form information from the routine information carrier, discerns and the process end of the corresponding Web data form of back establishment alternately.
