step S101, display attribute information of the first tab is acquired from the tab editing page.
In this embodiment, the tab editing page is implemented in a web page, and based on the characteristics of the web page, the display of the tab editing page does not need to depend on a specific operating system, that is, the operating system of the first electronic device 10 that displays the tab editing page is not limited, and the first electronic device 10 only needs to have a browser.
In this embodiment, the first tag is a tag edited by the user on the tag editing page of the first electronic device 10, and the display attribute information of the first tag may be some attribute information representing how the first tag is displayed, for example, attribute information such as a font, a font size, a color, and a position coordinate of text in the first tag.
Step S102, converting the display attribute information of the first label into preset format information of the first label.
In this embodiment, the preset format information may be one or more of metadata format information, print instruction information, or picture information, and the metadata format information may be formed by encapsulating display attribute information in a JSON form or an XML form, so as to: on one hand, cross-platform transmission of the display attribute information is facilitated, on the other hand, the display attribute information is stored in the form of metadata format information, so that the corresponding tags are restored and then displayed in the tag editing page according to the metadata format information, and the requirement of a user on continuous editing on the basis is met. The print instruction information is in the form of information that can be directly recognized by the printer 30, and in a case where the first electronic device 10 is communicatively connected to the printer 30 via a network, for example, in a fifth scenario shown in fig. 5, the first electronic device 10 may directly transmit the print instruction information to the printer 30 via the network. The picture information is a scene which is not required to be edited again by the user on the basis of the current label, and at the moment, the display attribute information of the label is not required to be converted into metadata format information, and only the image information needs to be converted, so that the printing requirement is met.
Step S103, sending the preset format information of the first label to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device prints the first label according to the preset format information of the first label.
In this embodiment, the first electronic device 10 edits the first label to generate the preset format information of the first label, and sends the preset format information of the first label to the second electronic device 20, where the second electronic device 20 first converts the preset format information of the first label into the printing instruction information of the first label, and then sends the printing instruction information of the first label to the printer 30, so as to complete printing of the first label.
In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to edit the first tag again based on the currently edited first tag, the display attribute of the first tag needs to be stored, and in order to facilitate the storage, and also in order to restore the first tag to the tag editing page according to the stored information, the display attribute information of the first tag is converted into the metadata format information of the first tag to be stored, so that the first electronic device 10 is further in communication connection with the cloud server 40, and the embodiment of the present invention further includes step S104.

In this embodiment, when the user needs to edit again based on the first tag, the first electronic device 10 may read out the stored metadata format information of the first tag from the cloud server 40, and restore the first tag to the tag editing page according to the metadata format information of the first tag, so as to display the first tag for the user to edit again in the tag editing page.
In this embodiment, in order to facilitate integration with third-party software, data in the third-party software is converted into a tag and then edited, and the embodiment of the present invention further includes steps S201 to S203.
Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a process of providing data conversion into tags in third-party software according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the process includes the following steps:
in step S201, data to be printed is received.
In this embodiment, the data to be printed may be data in an Excel form, or may also be data written in a text file according to a preset rule, and the Excel form file or the text file in which the data to be printed is written is imported into the first electronic device 10, so as to facilitate importing multiple pieces of data at one time, and simultaneously generate multiple corresponding tags.
Step S202, analyzing the data to be printed, generating a label corresponding to the data to be printed, and displaying the label on a label editing page.
In this embodiment, first, data to be printed in an import file is read, and the data to be printed is parsed into a label format and then displayed on a label editing page. For example, the data to be printed is shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
| Name (I) | Sex | Class of class |
| Zhang San | For male | One class in a small |
| Li Si | Woman | Middle and second class |
Two labels are generated after the analysis: as shown in fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a tag generated after data parsing of third-party software according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 9, the data in table 1 is analyzed to generate two tags, the two tags may be set to be displayed as a paging, where "<1/2>" in fig. 9 indicates that a first tag is displayed on a first page, "<2/2>" indicates that a second tag is displayed on a second page, where "<" and ">" respectively indicate buttons for turning pages forward and backward, it should be noted that fig. 9 is only a schematic diagram, and an actual page may display other information and corresponding function buttons or icons as needed, which are conventional implementations of page design in the prior art, and are not described herein again.
In step S203, display attribute information of a label corresponding to the data to be printed is acquired from the label edit page.
In this embodiment, step S203 is similar to step S101, and is not described herein again.
In this embodiment, in the second scenario shown in fig. 2, the first electronic device 10 is communicatively connected to the printer 30, the second electronic device 20 is communicatively connected to the cloud server 40, the second electronic device 20 executes steps S101 to S104, that is, a user edits a second tag in a tag editing page on the second electronic device 20 and obtains display attribute information of the second tag, the second electronic device 20 converts the display attribute information of the second tag into preset format information of the second tag and then sends the preset format information of the second tag to the first electronic device 10, and the first electronic device 10 prints the second tag according to the preset format information of the second tag, so that the embodiment of the present invention further includes steps S301 to S303.
Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 shows a printing flow chart of the first electronic device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, where the printing flow chart includes the following steps:
step S301, receiving preset format information of a second tag sent by a second electronic device, where the preset format information of the second tag is obtained by converting display attribute information of the second tag by the second electronic device, and the display attribute information of the second tag is obtained by the second electronic device from a tag editing page.
In the present embodiment, the second tab is a tab edited by the user on the tab editing page of the second electronic device 20, and the display attribute of the second tab may be some attribute information that characterizes how the second tab is displayed, like the first tab.
Step S302, converting the preset format information of the second label into the printing instruction information of the second label.
In this embodiment, the preset format information of the second label may be picture information of the second label or metadata format information of the second label, and since the printer 30 in this embodiment may be a printer from a different manufacturer and with a different model, in order to mask a difference in model of the printer 30, the embodiment of the present invention uniformly packages the print drivers provided by different printers 30, and as an implementation manner, the conversion of the preset format information of the second label into the print instruction information of the second label may be implemented in the following manner:
first, model information of the printer is acquired.
And secondly, calling a printing driver interface matched with the model of the printer, and converting the preset format information of the second label into the printing instruction information of the second label.
In this embodiment, the printers 30 of different models may correspond to different print drivers, and convert the preset format information of the second label into the print instruction information of the second label through the different print drivers. Some manufacturers can open the printing instruction of the printer produced by the manufacturers, for the printers of the manufacturers, the preset format information of the second label can be converted into the printing instruction information of the second label according to the opened printing instruction and the printing driving program, and under the condition, the printing attribute information included in the printing instruction information of the second label is richer, so that the printing effect is better. For a printer with a print instruction not opened by a manufacturer, the preset format information of the second label can still be converted into the print instruction information of the second label according to the print driver, and in this case, the print instruction information of the second label includes print attribute information meeting the most basic print requirement, so that the second label can also be printed.
Step S303, sending the printing instruction information of the second label to a printer, so that the printer prints the second label according to the printing instruction information of the second label.
