Description

Method, device, equipment and storage medium for synchronizing element attributes in document

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of information processing technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a device, and a storage medium for synchronizing element attributes in a document.

Background

The document may be edited by various document editing software such as word processing software, graphic processing software, presentation creating software, etc., and when the user edits the document using these software, the same element (e.g., the same text box, button, page title, etc.) may be input at different locations of the document. The same elements may exist in the same page or in different pages, so that modifications to one element may occur, requiring the same modifications to other identical elements to be made equally frequently. For example, in a presentation, elements in page 1 are copied into page 2 such that there are elements in page 2 that appear exactly as in page 1. When elements in page 1 are modified in the future, it is also necessary to modify elements in page 2 accordingly. It can be seen that once editing is required, the problem of inefficient modification is faced in finding and modifying the same elements one by one.

Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with aspects of the invention as detailed in the accompanying claims.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any or all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various information, these information should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one type of information from another. For example, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information, without departing from the scope of the invention. The word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at … …" or "at … …" or "responsive to a determination", depending on the context.

The document related to the embodiment of the invention can be edited by various document editing software such as word processing software, graphic processing software, presentation making software and the like. When a user edits a document using such software, the same element may be entered at a different location in the document. The elements within the document may be text elements, shape elements, etc., e.g., text boxes, buttons, page titles, etc. As shown in FIG. 1A, a document editing software interface diagram illustrating a document formed by a multi-page presentation is shown in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. A page may represent a container that may carry a presentation. Such as one page in Microsoft PowerPoint, or one canvas in the his Wo Bai board. An element, as in the figure, may be an object placed into a page for carrying content. Corresponding to an object in Microsoft PowerPoint, or to an element in a plate of his Wo Bai. For example, a shape, a picture, etc. are all elements.

In the related art, elements in the page 1 are often copied into the page 2, and thus, the elements in the page 1 and the page 2 can be presented in a uniform manner. When an element in page 1 is to be modified, the same element in page 2 also needs to be looked up and modified. Sometimes, to present some more cool features, an element animation may also be set, or some element may be obscured by other elements in some pages. At this time, it may happen that the elements in the page 1 can be directly edited, but the same elements in the page 2 are blocked by other elements, if it is desired to edit the elements in the pages 1 and 2, the other elements used for blocking the same elements in the page 2 need to be removed, and after the same elements are modified, the other elements are moved back to the original positions, so that the modification efficiency is low whether the same elements are searched or the other elements are moved.

In view of this, the embodiment of the invention provides a document element attribute synchronization scheme capable of improving modification efficiency, in which an associated element can be generated from an original element set, when detecting that an attribute of the original element set in the document is changed, attribute data or textures in the original element set can be obtained, and when the original element set is modified, the obtained attribute data is utilized to synchronously modify the associated element, or textures of the original element set are utilized to render the associated element, so that a user is not required to search and modify the associated element, and the problem of low modification efficiency caused by searching and modifying the associated element can be avoided.

The method for synchronizing the element attributes in the document provided in this embodiment may be implemented by software, or may be implemented by a combination of software and hardware or by hardware, where the hardware involved may be composed of two or more physical entities, or may be composed of one physical entity. The method of the embodiment can be applied to electronic equipment. The electronic device may be an intelligent writing device such as an intelligent interaction tablet, a digital tablet, or an intelligent writing device such as a smart phone, an intelligent learning machine, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant ), or the like.

In one embodiment, a smart interactive tablet is illustrated as an example. The execution subject of the embodiment of the invention can be an intelligent interaction panel, document editing software installed in the intelligent interaction panel, and the like.

The intelligent interaction panel, also called as an interaction intelligent panel, can be integrated equipment for controlling the content displayed on the display panel and realizing man-machine interaction operation through a touch technology, and integrates one or more functions of a projector, an electronic whiteboard, a curtain, a sound, a television, a video conference terminal and the like. The intelligent interaction tablet may be pre-installed with the document editing software, or may be downloaded and installed from a third party device or server when the document editing software is needed. The third party device is not limited in this embodiment.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be exemplified with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1B, FIG. 1B is a flow chart illustrating a method of synchronizing element attributes within a document according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps 102 through 104:

in step 102, acquiring attribute data or textures in an original element set if the attribute of the original element set in a document is detected to be changed; the original element set comprises one or more original elements, and the document also comprises associated elements generated by the original element set;

In step 104, the associated elements are synchronously modified with the acquired attribute data or rendered using the texture of the original element set while modifying the original element set.

In this embodiment, the association element may be generated from a set of original elements, and the set of original elements may include one original element or may include a plurality of original elements. It will be appreciated that, in the case where the set of primitive elements includes a plurality of primitive elements, each primitive element may be a plurality of elements selected according to the user's requirement in the page, and the plurality of primitive elements are not limited to be combined into one object. I.e. the elements do not need to be particularly associated with each other, but may be elements of the same page that are not or are related. Correspondingly, the associated element can correspond to an original element, and the mapping relation is simply called single element mapping; the association element may also correspond to a plurality of original elements, and this mapping relationship is simply referred to as multi-element mapping. The associated element and the original element set can be in different positions of the same page or in different pages. The following is an example of the association element and the original element set in different pages. FIG. 2A is a single pixel map diagram according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2B, a multi-element mapping diagram is shown according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2A, the original set of elements in page 2 is made up of one element, and the associated elements in page 1 are generated from the elements in page 2. In FIG. 2B, the original set of elements in page 2 is made up of multiple elements (e.g., 3 elements), and the associated elements in page 1 are generated from the set of elements in page 2.

In one example, the original element set includes the entire content of one page in the document, and then the associated element in a certain page may correspond to the entire content of another page, and this mapping relationship is simply referred to as page mapping. As shown in FIG. 2C, a page mapping diagram is shown in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. An element is placed in page 1 that presents the full appearance of page 2. The elements of the complete page 2 are displayed in page 1 and still only one element. It can be seen that in this embodiment, the associated element corresponds to the entire content of another page, thereby expanding the diversity of element mapping.

The initial association element may be the same as the original set of elements, and the initial association element may be referred to as the same element of the original set of elements, or a repeating element. After the initial association element is generated, the association element may be changed with any change to the original set of elements in one example, and only with a partial change to the original set of elements in another example. For this purpose, the modified association element may be the same as the original element set, or may have a difference.

Two approaches are provided below for illustration of how the association elements are generated.

In one embodiment, the association element may be a mirror image of the original set of elements, the association element sharing the same texture as the original set of elements. For example, an initial association element may be created by right clicking on the select "mirror" control after the original set of elements is selected.

The texture of each element may be composed of one or more sub-textures, and the texture of the original set of elements is composed of the textures of the original elements it contains. When a graphics processing operation requires texture data (e.g., for rendering a frame (image) to be displayed), it is typically first fetched from a memory storing the texture data required for the rendering process, and then the fetched texture data is used by the graphics processor to perform the required rendering operation.

Texture (Texture) is a concept in computer graphics and is commonly used in the rendering of 3D models. The 3D model in the computer may be formed by a triangle splice, such as a horse using a triangle splice. The model of a real horse is more similar when the triangles are more. The process of drawing a pattern on a triangle is called "Texture Mapping", and the drawn pattern is called Texture, and the process of Texture Mapping may be the process of Mapping a planar pattern to a 3D massive triangle surface. For example, a large number of 3D model building and rendering computations may be handed to a dedicated Graphics Processor (GPU), which may operate differently than a CPU, and may be computationally intensive in parallel, and thus may be more adept at performing texture and model computations and rendering. In computer 2D rendering, 3D achievements are also often borrowed to improve 2D rendering performance. For example, two triangles are used to stitch into the same rectangle as the screen drawing area, and then the pattern is rendered onto the rectangle. Textures can be rendered and synthesized (Composition), and the process of synthesis can also be computed in the GPU, which is very efficient.

The elemental texture used for rendering of the present embodiment may be the texture of the elemental portion that it is synthesized to before the final rendered image. In a hardware-accelerated computer system, it may reside in a dedicated GPU memory (commonly referred to as "video memory"); in non-accelerating computer systems, they may exist in the memory of the conventional descriptions. It can be accessed using a pointer to this memory region.

In this embodiment, since the association element may share the same texture as the original element set, the association element may be a mirror image of the original element set, modified as the original element set is modified. The mode of sharing textures is adopted, and is irrelevant to operation, and is the common use of a piece of binary data on a memory and a display card.

In another embodiment, the association element is a pre-created element that is the same as the original set of elements. As an example, the original set of elements may be selected and then the original set of elements may be created by copy-and-paste. Further, the modifying the association element synchronously by using the acquired attribute data includes: and carrying out serialization operation on the attribute data of the original element set, and carrying out deserialization operation on the associated element by utilizing the obtained serialization data so as to reconfigure the attribute of the associated element and synchronously modify the associated element and the original element set.

The serialization may be writing the physical object state into the ordered byte stream according to a certain format, and the anti-serialization may be reconstructing the object from the ordered byte stream, recovering the object state.

This embodiment uses both serialization and de-serialization to achieve that when modifying the original set of elements, the associated elements are modified synchronously by retrieval and rearrangement from the data.

It should be understood that other ways of modifying the association element synchronously with the modification of the original element set may also be employed, and will not be described in detail herein.

In some scenarios, it may be desirable for the associated element to interact equally with the original set of elements, i.e., the associated element of the map presentation is identical to the original set of elements, for which any modification to the original set of elements is synchronously changed to the associated element. While in other scenarios, there may be the following requirements: partial modifications to the original set of elements may be synchronized to the associated elements, while additional partial modifications are not desired to be synchronized to the associated elements. As shown in FIG. 2C, the element sizes in page 1 and page 2 may be sized like normal elements, and the associated elements in page 1 may not be sized when the element sizes in page 2 are modified. The associated element size in page 1 does not necessarily look always as large as page 2. Page 1 as shown in FIG. 2C is actually resized so that the associated element presents page 2 that is smaller than the actual page 2.

To this end, in one embodiment, the attributes may be divided into preset unique attributes and preset generic attributes. Aiming at the preset unique attribute, the associated element is modified along with the modification of the original element set; aiming at the preset general attribute, the associated element is not modified along with the modification of the original element set. Correspondingly, the acquiring the attribute data or the texture condition in the original element set further comprises: the changed attribute is a preset unique attribute; that is, when it is detected that the attribute of the original element set in the document is changed and the changed attribute is a preset unique attribute, attribute data or texture in the original element set is acquired. Further, the method further comprises: and when the general attribute of the original element set in the document is detected to be changed, modifying the original element set, wherein the associated element is kept unchanged.

Therefore, by dividing the attributes into preset unique attributes and preset general attributes, the special properties of part of the attributes can be reserved on the premise that the associated elements and the original element set are identical, and the requirements of different scenes are met.

Regarding how to divide the preset unique attributes and preset generic attributes, in one example, they may be preconfigured by a user or software developer as desired. In another example, for the case where the associated element is a mirror image of the original set of elements and the associated element shares the same texture as the original set of elements, the unique attribute may be an attribute that would cause a texture change in the original set of elements, and the generic attribute is an attribute that would not cause a texture change in the original set of elements. For example, when the primitive element set is composed of one primitive element, the common attribute may be an element attribute corresponding to operations such as rotating the primitive element, moving the primitive element position, scaling the primitive element size, and the like, and the attribute does not cause the primitive element texture to change. The unique attribute can be an element attribute corresponding to operations such as font size, color, graphic type and the like in the changed element, and the attribute can cause the original element texture to change. When the original element set includes a plurality of original elements, the texture of the original element set is composed of the textures of the plurality of original elements, and at this time, the common attribute of a single original element may be changed to the unique attribute of the original element set. For example, if the original element set is the whole page 2 and the original element a in the original element set moves, since the original element a is a part of the page 2 and the associated element in the page 1 is the whole page 2, the original element a moves to cause the texture of the page 2 to change, and accordingly, the associated element is changed as a result of being displayed in the page 1.

The embodiment divides the general attribute and the unique attribute by whether the texture of the original element set is changed or not, so that the dividing time can be saved, and the automatic dividing is realized.

It should be understood that the general attribute and the unique attribute are divided by whether the texture of the original element set is changed or not, and other modes can be adopted for dividing according to the requirement, which is not described in detail herein.

In some scenarios, there may be a need to asynchronously modify the original element set while modifying the associated element, which may be referred to as no interaction. And when the attribute of the associated element in the document is detected to be changed, modifying the associated element, wherein the original element set is kept unchanged. For the case where there is a division of attributes, the attributes may include generic attributes and unique attributes. The embodiment can realize that the original element set is not changed along with the change of the associated element.

In other scenarios, there may be a need to be able to synchronously modify the original set of elements while modifying the associated elements. In one embodiment, when the attribute of the associated element in the document is detected to be changed, the associated element and the original element set can be modified at the same time. In another embodiment, for the case of dividing the attribute into a preset unique attribute and a preset general attribute, it may be implemented that: and if the change of the unique attribute of the associated element in the document is detected, synchronously modifying the associated element and the original element set. Further, when the general attribute of the associated element in the document is detected to be changed, the associated element is modified, and the original element set is kept unchanged. In this embodiment, the original set of elements may change as the unique attributes of the associated elements change, rather than as the generic attributes of the associated elements change, thereby expanding the diversity of interactions.

Regarding how to synchronously modify the associated element and the original element set, in one example, if the associated element is a pre-created element identical to the original element set, and it is detected that a change occurs in a unique attribute of the associated element in the document, attribute data in the associated element is obtained, and when the associated element is modified, the original element set is synchronously modified by using the obtained attribute data.

In this embodiment, the original element set may be synchronously modified in a manner of attribute reset.

In another example, if the associated element is a mirror image of the original set of elements, operations on the associated element are correspondingly forwarded onto the original set of elements to modify both the original set of elements and the associated element by modifying the texture of the original set of elements.

The associated element is a brush image generated using the original set of elements. The mouse or touch operation of the related elements comprises pressing and moving and lifting, and the operation is correspondingly forwarded to the original element, so that the same operation is carried out on the original element. In this way, any changes in the presentation made by the original element according to the operation are re-reflected to the associated element.

In this embodiment, the operation of the associated element is forwarded to the original set of elements such that the original set of elements is similar to receiving the operation from the user, thereby modifying the texture of the original set of elements, thereby enabling modification of the original set of elements and associated elements.

Regarding elements, not only text elements, graphic elements, etc., in practical applications, there may be a need for inserting software into a page, and for this purpose, contents presented by elements in a document may further include: window of application program. The application may be not only a third party application but also current document editing software. FIG. 2D is a schematic diagram of elements comprising a program window according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In page 1 an element is shown which presents a window of a calculator application. It can be seen that the presentation of application windows in a page can be implemented. The calculator is an application program in the system and is a window program. The window program will adapt the layout appropriately when resizing the window so that it can be better displayed normally at the new size.

For elements comprising an application window, there may be at least two ways of presentation after adjusting the size of the element, in one example, resizing the element may result in a change in the size of the program window and the layout inside the window may be re-adaptively adjusted. In another example, resizing elements does not cause the layout inside the window to change, but instead adjusts the window as bitmap scaling.

FIG. 2E is a schematic diagram of another element containing a program window according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The schematic adjusts the window in a manner that adjusts the window, and the layout inside the window changes. FIG. 2F is a schematic diagram of another element containing a program window according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The diagram adjusts the window in a way that scales the bitmap, and the layout inside the window does not change. But the image is deformed by stretching. Of course, if the aspect ratio is maintained while the element is resized, the scaling is not stretch deformed but merely enlarged or reduced.

In the invention, another presentation scheme can be extended to realize the elements in a certain page, and the content behind the program can be equivalently displayed (equivalent to that the area where the elements are located is transparent). For example, the document is presented in a document editing software window, and the content presented by the elements in the document includes: and displaying the content at the position corresponding to the position of the element in the next layer of the layer where the document editing software window is positioned. As shown in fig. 2G, there is another elemental schematic illustrating the present invention according to an exemplary embodiment. In the schematic diagram, although the elements are in one page, the content of other programs behind the program interface can be displayed, and the displayed effect is similar to that the area where the elements are located is hollowed-out and transparent.

On the operating system, since all windows are synthesized by the system (instead of rendering of windows in the old operating system overlapping each other), the synthesized result of all windows behind the current window can be obtained at any time through the API of the system. For example, the obtained result may be used as a bitmap, and the bitmap may be cut to a location area where the current element is located and displayed; the result of the composition of all the subsequent windows may also be obtained from the GPU.

The various technical features of the above embodiments may be arbitrarily combined as long as there is no conflict or contradiction between the combinations of the features, but are not described one by one, so that the arbitrary combination of the various technical features of the above embodiments also falls within the scope of the disclosure of the present specification.

For example, a single element map (an associated element corresponding to one original element)/multiple element maps (an associated element corresponding to multiple original elements) may implement equal interactions, i.e., an associated element may interact equally with an original element, where the map presents the same associated element as the original element. For example, there are two different implementations: 1. true generation is a mere element. Any editing of the element can simultaneously acquire the latest editing data of the element and synchronize the latest editing data to the original element. 2. A brush mirror image is generated, i.e. only displayed the same at the display level. The mouse or touch operation of the related element comprises pressing, moving and lifting, and can be correspondingly forwarded to the original element, so that the same operation is carried out on the original element. In this way, any changes in the presentation of the original element according to the operation are re-reflected to the new mirrored element. For mapping a brush image, basically both the operating system and the mainstream UI framework are supported, so they can be used directly. While forwarding an operation to another element may only be supported by a portion of the UI framework, forwarding logic may be handled by itself for unsupported UI frameworks.

The single element mapping/multi-element mapping can also realize no interaction, namely only the content of the original element is displayed, any interaction action on the associated element does not influence the original element set, and the associated element is just like a shadow element. This embodiment may be implemented in a shared texture manner.

For the case that the associated element corresponds to the whole content of another page, the same interaction and no interaction can be realized, and the page and the element are realized by the same UI realization mode, so that the technical realization is identical, and the description is omitted here.

For elements containing program windows, in one example, modifications to application windows in an element may synchronously modify the actual application window. Embedding the application window into this document editing software can be implemented through the system API in the main graphical operating system. When a program is embedded, all interactions naturally occur on that program at this time, since the actual program itself is displayed at this time. In another example, the actual application window cannot be modified by the element that contains the program window. On an operating system, thumbnails of some other program window are typically available using the system API. Of course this thumbnail is not a small picture that has lost accuracy, but is a texture that is present in the graphics card device. The texture can be displayed in the document editing software by using the system API, and the texture is specifically shown in the area where the specified mirror image element is located.

It can be seen from the above embodiments that the element that is created repeatedly by the user is changed into one element and several mirror images of this element, avoiding the situation that multiple edits are required to modify all elements. In addition, other programs can be embedded into the program, so that in the same program, the playing of the presentation is controlled to directly control the area to which the target program should be started, and the situation that the projection needs to be minimized and then the program is searched in other folders is avoided.

Describing the functions that the present invention can implement in a specific example, the user may make a text (the original set of elements) in the first page, and then animate it: moving it from left to right. In the second page, the same text (associated element) is made, and in the second page, at the position where the animation of the first page ends, the animation to be made is enlarged. At this time, if the text is found to need modification, both the first page and the second page are needed to be modified. The text modification can be regarded as modification of the unique attribute, and the animation setting of the element can be regarded as modification of the general attribute, so that when the text of the first page is modified by adopting the scheme, the text of the second page is synchronously modified, but the animation setting of the original element in the first page does not influence the animation of the associated element in the second page.
