The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with one or more embodiments of the present specification. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of one or more embodiments of the specification, as detailed in the claims which follow.
It should be noted that: in other embodiments, the steps of the corresponding methods are not necessarily performed in the order shown and described herein. In some other embodiments, the method may include more or fewer steps than those described herein. Moreover, a single step described in this specification may be broken down into multiple steps for description in other embodiments; multiple steps described in this specification may be combined into a single step in other embodiments.
In an embodiment, the display scheme of the present specification may be applied to a display device, and the display device may include an electronic device equipped with an integrated display unit, such as a mobile phone equipped with an electronic display screen, a tablet device, a notebook computer, a palm computer (PDAs), a wearable device (such as smart glasses, a smart watch, etc.), and the like.

As shown in fig. 1, the data large screen 101 is connected with a computer 102 as a control device, and it is understood that the computer 102 may be connected with only 1 data large screen 101, or may be connected with a plurality of data large screens 101 at the same time, and controls the plurality of data large screens 101 to respectively and independently display data to form independent display screens or part of independent display screens. For example, the display device may include a stand-alone projector, and a control device such as a computer, a mobile phone, or a tablet device connected to the projector. The specific form of the display device is not limited in the description, and in the operation process, the display device may determine a target template to be displayed in response to configuration operation of a user, and display a target object generated by configuring the target template according to the obtained target data, thereby realizing a display effect in response to personalized configuration of the user.
The alternative templates to be displayed related to the scheme can be generated in advance according to the corresponding scenes. In one embodiment, the items in the preset item library can be sorted and combed according to at least one dimension of industry, application type and the like. Taking the application type as an example, the items in the item library can be further classified according to the segmentation dimensions of enterprise internal items, business items interacted inside and outside the enterprise, government affair-oriented public items, public service-oriented public service items and the like. And then further subdividing the application level and/or the content level of the similar items corresponding to the categories, and performing shot concatenation and application transition on common applications of the similar items and/or specific applications of partial items according to the item scripts of the items to acquire application characteristics of the common applications and/or the specific applications. Further, the geographic scenes corresponding to all the items in the item library can be counted in a geographic scene exhaustive mode, and a plurality of application templates corresponding to all the geographic scenes are generated according to the application characteristics; generating uniform data interfaces respectively corresponding to the application templates according to the application characteristics and the historical application contents of the applications corresponding to the application templates, wherein any uniform data interface comprises a group of (at least one) predefined template data items; and finally, storing each application template and the corresponding template data item in a template library in an associated manner. After a user selects a certain application template (target template), target data corresponding to each data item (target data item) can be input according to a panel data item corresponding to the target template and a corresponding application scene, and a target object generated by configuring the target template according to the target data can be used as a display object of display equipment to be displayed to the user.
In one embodiment, the application template may include various forms. As an exemplary embodiment, the application templates may include general application templates corresponding to a plurality of application scenarios, for example, any general application panel may correspond to a plurality of application scenarios, where any application scenario is pre-associated to a group of data items, so that, when a user selects a general application template and specifies a certain application scenario corresponding to the template, the corresponding data item pre-associated with the application scenario is determined, and the user may specify corresponding target data for the data item to configure the selected general application template. As another exemplary embodiment, the application templates may further include specific application templates corresponding to certain application scenarios, and after the user selects each specific application template, the corresponding application scenario and the corresponding data item are determined, and then the user may specify corresponding target data for the data item to configure the selected specific application template.
In the template library generated in the above manner, a plurality of application templates can be classified according to application scenes, and each classified application template is stored in the storage space corresponding to the application scene. Of course, scene statistics may also be performed on each application template, and at least one application scene corresponding to any application template is recorded in association with the application template. The application templates can be provided to the display device in a cloud platform manner for selection by a user, or can be pre-packaged and provided to the display device, the display device can add the obtained application templates as alternative templates to be displayed to the user, and the description does not limit the application templates. Any alternative template generated in the process has pre-associated template data items for any alternative scene, so that after a user selects a target template according to a desired display effect and specifies the target scene, the user does not need to determine target data corresponding to the desired display effect and data format more information thereof by himself, and only needs to input corresponding target data according to template data items (predefined information such as data content and data format required by the target template) corresponding to the target template, so that efficient setting of the display effect of the target template can be realized, the workload of the user is saved, and the template setting efficiency is improved.
For the template generated by the above process, the user can select and configure in the display device to generate and display the corresponding target object. The following description is made with reference to a flow chart of an exhibition method shown in fig. 2. Referring to fig. 2, the display method applied to the display device may include the following steps:
step 202, displaying the alternative templates, and determining a target template selected by the user from the alternative templates.
In one embodiment, the presentation device may present alternative scenes in the presentation configuration interface so that the user selects a target scene from the presented alternative scenes. Accordingly, the presentation apparatus may present, in a case where a scene setting operation performed by a user is detected, an alternative template that matches a target scene specified by the scene setting operation. And then responding to a template selection operation carried out by the user aiming at the displayed at least one alternative template, and determining the at least one alternative template corresponding to the operation as a target template. At this time, a plurality of candidate templates may exist in the same application scene, and a user may first determine an application scene corresponding to a target object that needs to be presented, and then select a suitable candidate template from the plurality of candidate templates corresponding to the application scene as the target template for generating the target object. The application scenes related in this embodiment may be understood as application scenes to which a target object to be displayed belongs or application scenes corresponding to application projects to which the target object belongs, and the like, and accordingly, the alternative scenes may also exist in various forms, for example, an organization construction scene, a traffic scene, a infrastructure scene facing government affairs, a public welfare scene facing the public, a logistics scene facing an enterprise, a monitoring scene, and the like, and are not described again.
Step 204, determining a target data item associated with the target template according to the target scene set by the user, and acquiring target data specified by the user for the target data item.
In one embodiment, the presentation device may present the alternative template, and then present the alternative scene corresponding to the target template for selection by the user after the user selects the target template therein. Correspondingly, the display device may display the candidate scenes corresponding to the determined target template, where each candidate scene has a mapping relationship with the data item, and then, when it is detected that the user performs a scene selection operation with respect to at least one candidate scene, determine, according to the corresponding mapping relationship, the data item corresponding to the selected at least one candidate scene as the target data item. At this time, the same candidate template may correspond to multiple candidate scenes, and the user may first determine a target template corresponding to a target object to be displayed, and then select an application scene where the target object is located as the target scene from the multiple candidate scenes corresponding to the target template, so as to determine a corresponding target data item. There may be at least one alternative scene corresponding to any of the above alternative templates, and there may be at least one (set of) data item corresponding to each alternative scene, so that each alternative template has at least one set of associated data items, and any set of data items may uniquely correspond to one alternative scene. A set of data items corresponding to any of the alternative scenarios is target data for enabling a user to specify data content and data format that are in accordance with the data items predefined.
In an embodiment, the user may specify the target data in a plurality of ways, and correspondingly, the display device may also obtain the target data specified by the user in a plurality of ways. For example, when a user may import a pre-generated data file in batch, where the data file includes target data corresponding to the target data item, and the target data may conform to data content and data format predefined by the target data item, the presentation device may receive the data file imported by the user and use data included in the data file as the target data, thereby simplifying data import workload of the user. Or, the display device may also display at least one data input control corresponding to the target data item to the user, determine data input by the user in the at least one data input control as target data, and at this time, obtain the target data temporarily input by the user through the displayed data input control. Or, the user may specify, for the target data item, a data interface corresponding to a data source providing the target data, so that the presentation device obtains the target data by accessing the data interface; correspondingly, the display device may determine a data interface specified by the user for the target data item, and then determine the data obtained by accessing the data interface as the target data, at this time, the target data generated by the data source may be provided to the display device in real time by means of the data interface, so as to achieve a real-time display effect of the target object.
And 206, configuring the target template according to the target data, and displaying the generated target object.
In this embodiment, the process of configuring the target template according to the target data is a process of filling the target template with the target data according to a data format and a filling rule predefined by the target data item. For example, in the case that the target template is a line drawing, the target template before configuration is a blank line drawing (only horizontal and vertical coordinates, no specific broken line), and the target object obtained after configuration is a complete line drawing for display, where target display elements such as horizontal, vertical coordinates, and broken lines of the line drawing all correspond to target data specified by a user. Other forms of target templates are similar and will not be described in detail.
In an embodiment, a user may implement a display attribute adjustment operation to adjust a display attribute for a target template or a target object. Correspondingly, the display device may detect the display attribute adjustment operation through periodic detection or operation triggering, and adjust the display attribute of the target template or the target object in response to the detected display attribute adjustment operation. The display attribute adjustment operation can be implemented for the selected target template and the generated target object, so that the display effect can be adjusted in a targeted manner before the target object is displayed, the advance determination of the display effect of the target object is facilitated, and the configuration and display efficiency of the target object are further improved. The display attributes may include a plurality of types, which are not limited in this specification, and for example, the display attributes may include a display angle, a display direction, a rotation speed, an object size, a theme background, a material special effect, a line thickness, a font size, an element color, and the like, which are not described in detail.
In an embodiment, the target object may be displayed in display units corresponding to different types of display devices, for example, a data large screen, a computer screen, a tablet device screen, a mobile phone screen, and the like, because the display units corresponding to different types of display devices are often different in size, in order to achieve a better display effect, the display attribute of the target object may be adjusted in a targeted manner according to the device type of the display device. Accordingly, the display device may determine a device type of the display device for displaying the target object, and then adjust the display attribute of the target object to match the device type, so as to display the target object in the display device. Through the adjustment process, the display attribute of the target object is adapted to the equipment type of the display equipment, and the more optimized display effect is facilitated.
In an embodiment, a user may perform an interactive operation with respect to a target presentation element included in a target object in a presentation state. At this time, the presentation device may receive an interactive instruction issued for a target presentation element included in the target object in the presentation, and then, the presentation device may present preset information corresponding to the target presentation element according to the interactive instruction, for example, information corresponding to statistical data, a data introduction, an element description, and the like of the target presentation element. Or, the display device may also adjust the display attribute of the target display element according to the interaction instruction, so as to implement a visual response to the interaction operation. Of course, as a response to the interactive instruction, the display device may also display the preset information and adjust the display attribute of the target display element, which is not described in detail herein.
Through the embodiment, the display device can pertinently determine the corresponding target data item according to the target template selected by the user and the designated target scene, and automatically configuring a target template according to the acquired target data, displaying the configured target object, therefore, the user only needs to designate a corresponding target scene according to the actual application requirement, and selects a target template corresponding to the display effect to be presented from a plurality of alternative templates provided by the display equipment, the target data item corresponding to the target template in the target scene can be obtained without self-investigation and determination of the specific required data item according to the actual application scene, therefore, the alternative template, the alternative scene and the corresponding data item are provided, so that the operation process of generating the target object by the user is greatly simplified, the workload of the user is reduced, and the generation and display efficiency of the target object is improved. Moreover, because the target object is generated by using the standardized target template uniformly provided by the platform, the generated target object has the same display style, and the more specialized visual object display effect is convenient to realize.
With reference to fig. 3 to fig. 6, a process of generating and displaying a target object by the display device according to a user operation will be described in detail by taking a control device connected with a data large screen (and a display device formed by the data large screen) as an example. Referring to fig. 3, the process may include the steps of:
step 302, detecting a scene setting operation performed by a user, and determining a target scene set by the user.
The application scene related to the present embodiment should be understood as an application scene to which a target object to be displayed belongs or an application scene corresponding to an application item to which the target object belongs. In this embodiment, a plurality of candidate templates may exist in the same application scene, and a user may first determine an application scene corresponding to a target object that needs to be displayed, and then select a suitable candidate template from the plurality of candidate templates corresponding to the application scene as the target template for generating the target object.
In an embodiment, the display device may display the alternative scenes in a display configuration interface corresponding to the data large screen, so that the user can select the target scene from the alternative scenes. The alternative scenes can be displayed in the form of characters, images or characters plus images, wherein the images can be static pictures, such as thumbnails of common application panels corresponding to the alternative scenes; or the dynamic display device may also be a dynamic picture, such as a dynamic display effect of a common application panel corresponding to the alternative scene. Or, a scene search box can be displayed for the user, so that the user can directly input the scene name of the target scene to be set through the search box under the condition that the number of the candidate scenes is large, the target scene is quickly positioned, and the searching speed of the user is increased.
As shown in fig. 4, the presentation device may present a plurality of candidate scenes 403, such as a capital construction scene, a logistics scene, a public service scene, a traffic scene, a monitoring scene, and the like, in a configuration interface corresponding to a new project 402 of a presentation configuration interface 401, and in the case that there are more candidate scenes, a user may also trigger more identifiers 404 by mouse clicking, touch controlling, and the like, so as to present more candidate scenes. The multiple candidate scenes may also be displayed according to the categories to which the multiple candidate scenes belong, for example, the infrastructure scenes and the traffic scenes may be divided into a public category, the logistics scenes and the monitoring scenes may be divided into an enterprise category, the public service scenes may be divided into a public category, and the like, and the description does not limit the specific scenes, the categories of the scenes, the specific display modes, and the like.
In the case where a scene setting operation performed by the user is detected, the presentation apparatus may determine an alternative scene set by the user according to the scene setting operation. As shown in fig. 4, if it is detected that the user clicks the "monitoring scene" by manipulating the mouse, it may be determined that the target scene specified by the user is the monitoring scene.
And 304, displaying the alternative template corresponding to the target scene.
Further, after the target scene selected by the user is determined, at least one alternative template corresponding to the target scene may be correspondingly presented. Similarly, the alternative templates may be displayed according to template types, for example, the alternative templates may be pre-divided into a plurality of categories, such as mimicry templates (e.g., 3D models with special presentation effects corresponding to elements such as maps, buildings, vehicles, trees, etc.), chart templates (e.g., pie charts, bar charts, line charts, etc.), etc., and then the alternative templates may be displayed in a secondary manner according to each category, or of course, the alternative templates belonging to different categories may be simultaneously displayed under each category of the templates to which they belong, which is not described again.
In addition, according to the difference of account number authority (account number grade, account number purchased service, and the like) of the user login, only alternative scenes or alternative templates of the user owning the use authority can be displayed in a targeted manner, such as free or purchased alternative scenes or alternative templates, and the like, so as to simplify the configuration interface corresponding to the user; or all the alternative scenes or the alternative templates can be displayed, but corresponding use permission limits are set for the displayed alternative scenes or alternative templates according to the use permission of the user, so that the user is promoted to open the use permission for more alternative scenes or alternative templates.
Step 306, detecting the template selection operation performed by the user, and determining the target template selected by the user.
The user can perform a template selection operation on at least one of the displayed candidate templates to select a target template from the candidate templates according to a desired display effect.
In an embodiment, the display device may also recommend and display more high-frequency alternative templates used in the current target scene for the user according to history template selection records of other users or the current user, so that the user selects the high-frequency alternative template as the target template, and the workload of the user for selecting the target template is further reduced.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, as shown in fig. 5, after the user sets the monitoring scene as the target scene, the currently set target scene 501 (monitoring scene) may be displayed in the configuration interface corresponding to the newly-built project, and the interface theme 502 (template selection) of the current configuration interface is correspondingly displayed, so as to prompt the user to select the target template required by the user in the current configuration interface. A plurality of alternative templates can be displayed in the configuration interface, such as an application template 1-an application template 6 in the figure, and of course, a user can control to display more alternative templates through a sliding block on the right side of the interface. When it is detected that a preview operation performed by a user for any one of the candidate templates (for example, a mouse is placed above a certain candidate template for a time period exceeding a preset time period, or a right-click mouse menu is clicked above the certain candidate template and a preview option is selected), the display device may display an effect preview picture of the candidate template for which the preview operation is performed, for example, a static picture such as a thumbnail of a common application panel corresponding to the candidate scene or a dynamic picture such as a dynamic display effect of the common application panel corresponding to the candidate scene, and details are not repeated.
After the candidate template to be selected is found, the user may perform a template selection operation on the candidate template, and accordingly, after the display device detects the template selection operation, the selected candidate template corresponding to the template selection operation may be determined as the target template selected by the user. The template selection operation may have various forms, for example, the template selection operation may be performed by sequentially clicking to select (select the whole frame or select a specific position), a candidate template to be selected, and then clicking a corresponding "confirm" or "add" button to select the target template; or, the display interface may be divided into an effect preview sub-interface and an alternative template sub-interface, and the user may select an alternative template in the alternative template sub-interface and drag the selected alternative template to an appropriate position of the effect preview sub-interface, so as to select the target template.
Step 308, a data specifying interface containing the target data item associated with the target template is presented.
In step 310, target data specified by the user for the target data item is obtained.
In an embodiment, after the user selects any one of the candidate templates, the display device may correspondingly display the data item associated with the candidate template in the data selection interface, so that the user knows information such as data content and data format corresponding to the target data required for generating the target object by using the candidate template.
Still taking fig. 5 as an example, after the user selects the application panel 2, the sub-interface theme can be shown in the corresponding template data sub-interface: template data item 503 and, accordingly, at least one data specifying control is exposed in the sub-interface. The data specifying control may include a data input control 504, in which case, the user may directly input text-form target data in the control, and accordingly, the presentation device may determine data input by the user in at least one data input control as the target data. The data specifying control may further include a batch import control 505, where a user may select a pre-generated data file through the batch import control, where the data file may include target data corresponding to the target data item and conforming to data content and data format predefined by the target data item, and correspondingly, the display device may receive the data file imported by the user, and use data included in the data file as the target data. The data specifying control may further include a data interface control 506, and at this time, the user may specify, for the target data item, a data interface corresponding to a data source providing the target data through the control, so that the display device obtains the target data by accessing the data interface; correspondingly, the display device may determine a data interface specified by the user for the target data item, and then determine the data obtained by accessing the data interface as the target data, at this time, the user is allowed to provide the target data generated by the data source to the display device in real time in a manner of specifying the data interface, so as to facilitate the realization of the real-time display effect of the target object.
In another embodiment, the presentation device may also present the data specification interface corresponding to the target template after the user selects a part of the alternative templates as the target template, where the data specification interface may include a data input control, a batch import control, and/or a data interface control corresponding to the target data item. In addition, the display device can also combine the target data items respectively corresponding to the target templates selected by the user and then display the combined target data items in the data designation interface, and receive the target data designated by the user in batches or one by one through the corresponding controls in the data designation interface, and the specific display and determination mode is not repeated.
Step 312, configure the target template according to the target data to generate the target object.
In this embodiment, the process of configuring the target template according to the target data is a process of filling the target template with the target data according to a data format and a filling rule predefined by the target data item. For example, in the case that the target template is a line graph, the target template before configuration is a blank line graph (only horizontal and vertical coordinates, no specific broken line), and the target object obtained after configuration is a complete line graph for presentation, and target presentation elements such as horizontal, vertical coordinates, broken lines and the like of the line graph all correspond to target data specified by a user. For another example, in the case that the target template is an earth 3D model, the target template before configuration is a blank earth 3D model that only includes default target display elements (such as country boundaries) and the target object obtained after configuration is an earth 3D model for display, and the model may include display elements such as data statistics of each country, interaction schematic curves and interaction data between different countries. The display process of other forms of target templates is similar to that, and is not described in detail.
Step 314, determine the device type and/or detect a display attribute adjustment operation.
Step 316, adjusting the display properties of the target template and/or the target object.
In an embodiment, the target object may be displayed in a display unit corresponding to different types of display devices, for example, a data large screen, a computer screen, a tablet device screen, a mobile phone screen, or the like. Because the sizes of the display units corresponding to different types of display equipment are often different, in order to achieve a better display effect, the display attribute of the target object can be adjusted in a targeted manner according to the equipment type of the display equipment. Accordingly, the display device may determine a device type of the display device for displaying the target object, and then adjust the display attribute of the target object to match the device type, so as to display the target object in the display device. The specific display attribute adjustment mode may have various forms, for example, when the display unit corresponding to the display device is a data large screen, the arrangement mode of a plurality of target objects and/or the display attributes such as the sizes of the objects may be adaptively adjusted according to the shape of the data large screen, for example, when the size of the data large screen is a horizontal rectangle of 10m × 6m, each target object may be arranged in a plurality of horizontal rows, and when the size of the data large screen is a longitudinal rectangle of 5m × 8m, each target object may be arranged in a single column or a plurality of columns in the longitudinal direction, thereby achieving a better display effect. The adjustment rule can be preset according to information such as the size of the display unit, so that the display equipment can be directly adjusted according to the adjustment rule; alternatively, the control device may also use a preset arrangement template for arrangement, so as to reduce the time for adjusting the display properties of the target objects and arranging the layout. Through the adjustment process, the aim of adapting the display attribute of the target object to the equipment type of the display equipment is fulfilled, and the more optimized display effect is facilitated.
In one embodiment, the user may adjust the presentation property of the target template or target object by performing a presentation property adjustment operation. Correspondingly, the display device may detect the display attribute adjustment operation through periodic detection or operation triggering, and adjust the display attribute of the target template or the target object in response to the detected display attribute adjustment operation. The display attribute adjustment operation can be implemented for the selected target template and the generated target object, so that the display effect can be adjusted in a targeted manner before the target object is displayed, the advance determination of the display effect of the target object is facilitated, and the configuration and display efficiency of the target object are further improved. The display attributes may include a plurality of types, which are not limited in this specification, and for example, the display attributes may include a display angle, a display direction, a rotation speed, an object size, a theme background, a material special effect, a line thickness, a font size, an element color, and the like, which are not described in detail.
And 318, displaying the target object according to the adjusted display attribute.
After the target object is generated according to the user operation and the display attribute of the target object is correspondingly adjusted, the target object can be displayed in the display unit according to the corresponding display attribute. For example, in a case that the display device is a notebook computer (control device) connected to a large data screen, the notebook computer may display the relevant content in the step 302 and 316 through an integrated display screen assembled by the notebook computer, and after the generation of the target object and the adjustment of the display attribute are completed, the user may preview the final display effect of each template object on the integrated display screen (e.g., the overall display effect of the entire display interface corresponding to each template). When the display effect of the target object meets the user expectation, the user can control the notebook computer to send the object content, the display attribute and other related information of the target object to the data large screen for displaying by implementing display confirmation operation, so that the display effect expected by the user is presented on the data large screen. Of course, the above processes of selecting the target template, the target scene and adjusting the display attribute of the target object may also be directly performed with real-time data display in the data large screen, so that the user can efficiently adjust the display object or the display attribute according to the actual display effect of the data large screen, thereby avoiding rework as much as possible.
For another example, in a case that the display device is a mobile phone (control device) equipped with an integrated screen, the mobile phone may display the related content in the step 302 and 316 through the integrated display screen equipped with the mobile phone, and directly display the target object on the integrated display screen according to the object content of the target object and the related information such as the display attribute after the target object generation and the display attribute adjustment are completed, so as to present the display effect expected by the user on the mobile phone screen. Of course, the display device may also send the object content, the display attribute, and other relevant information of the target object to other display devices for displaying, which is not limited in this specification.
As shown in fig. 4 and fig. 5, the final effect of the target object can be shown in the schematic diagram of the object effect shown in fig. 6. In the monitoring scenario shown in fig. 6, the object display interface may include a plurality of target objects, such as a global monitoring data entry 601, a monitoring organization quantity overview 602, an event recognition success rate proportion representation 603, a global monitoring project distribution representation 604, a monitoring project data quantity distribution proportion representation 605, a monitoring equipment supplier distribution representation 606, and an alarm information viewing entry 607. Of course, the text information such as "real-time data large screen of the monitoring platform" above the object display interface may also be a target object set and generated by the user, and is not described again. The display attributes such as the overall background of the object display interface, the theme skin, the display position, the object size (occupying the proportion of the screen display area), the font size of the object display element in the object, the element color, and the like can be set by the user, and naturally, the display attribute which is not specially set by the user can be the display attribute preset by the object template corresponding to the object, and is not repeated. Note that the dotted line frames around the respective target objects in fig. 6 are only for describing the different target objects in a distinguished manner, and the respective dotted line frames may not be displayed when the target objects are actually displayed.
And step 320, receiving an interactive instruction sent by a user aiming at the target display element.
And 322, displaying preset information of the target display element or adjusting the display attribute of the target display element.
In one embodiment, the user may perform an interactive operation with respect to a target presentation element included in the target object in the presentation state. At this time, the presentation device may receive an interactive instruction issued for a target presentation element included in the target object in the presentation, and then may present preset information corresponding to the target presentation element according to the interactive instruction, for example, information such as statistical data, data introduction, and element description corresponding to the target presentation element. Or, the display device may also adjust the display attribute of the target display element according to the interaction instruction, so as to implement a visual response to the interaction operation. Of course, as a response to the interactive instruction, the display device may also display the preset information and adjust the display attribute of the target display element, which is not described in detail herein.
Still taking fig. 6 as an example, when the target object is displayed on the object display interface shown in fig. 6, the user may perform an interactive operation on the target object in the display state. For example, a user may manipulate the earth 3D model in the global monitoring item distribution diagram 604 through a mouse to adjust the display attributes such as rotation and zoom of the model. For another example, the user may click on a map area corresponding to country a in the global monitoring item distribution schematic 604 shown in fig. 6, and after receiving the interactive instruction corresponding to the click operation, the display device may further display the monitoring item statistical information or other detailed information corresponding to country a in response to the instruction, and may further switch the earth 3D model into a map display interface corresponding to a country a map; furthermore, after the user clicks a display area corresponding to a certain area a1 (such as a certain province, a certain state, etc.) in the country a, the user can correspondingly display the relevant information of the area a 1; similarly, the user can further click on the display areas such as the city, the county and town, the village, the venue and the like, so as to correspondingly display the preset information corresponding to different display depths in the display equipment. Of course, for any displayed target display element, the user can also input corresponding data in real time, so that the display data can be flexibly updated, and the display effect of the target display element can be conveniently adjusted.
In fact, the display device may also display the alternative templates to the user, and then after the user selects the target template from the alternative templates, may further display the alternative scene corresponding to the target template for the user to specify, that is, implement the operation flow of first selecting the target template and then specifying the target scene. The following description is made with reference to a flowchart of another presentation method shown in fig. 7. The object configuration and display process corresponding to the above process may include the following steps:
step 702, detecting a template selection operation performed by a user, and determining a target template selected by the user.
And 704, displaying the alternative scenes corresponding to the target template.
Step 706, detecting a scene specifying operation performed by the user, and determining a target scene specified by the user.
The application scene related to the embodiment may be understood as an application scene to which a target object to be displayed belongs or an application scene corresponding to an application item to which the target object belongs. In this embodiment, the same candidate template may be pre-associated with multiple candidate scenes, and the user may first determine, according to the display effect to be presented, a target template corresponding to a target object to be displayed, and then select a suitable candidate scene from the multiple candidate scenes corresponding to the target template to be used for determining the target data item associated with the target template.
In the case that a template selection operation performed by the user is detected, the presentation device may determine an alternative template selected by the user according to the template selection operation. Further, after the target template selected by the user is determined, at least one alternative scene corresponding to the target template may be correspondingly presented, and then, under the condition that the scene specifying operation performed by the user is detected, the target scene specified by the user may be determined according to the scene specifying operation. In addition, according to the difference of account number authority (account number grade, account number purchased service, and the like) of the user login, only alternative scenes or alternative templates of the user owning the use authority can be specifically shown, such as alternative scenes or alternative templates which are free or purchased, and the like, so as to simplify the configuration interface corresponding to the user; or all the alternative scenes or the alternative templates can be displayed, but corresponding use permission limits are set for the displayed alternative scenes or alternative templates according to the use permission of the user, so that the user is promoted to open the use permission for more alternative scenes or alternative templates.
At step 708, a data specification interface is presented that includes the target data item associated with the target template.
Step 710, obtaining target data specified by the user for the target data item.
Step 712, configure the target template according to the target data to generate the target object.
Step 714, determine device type and/or detect a display attribute adjustment operation.
Step 716, adjusting the display properties of the target template and/or the target object.
Step 718, displaying the target object according to the adjusted display attribute.
And 720, receiving an interactive instruction sent by the user aiming at the target display element.
And step 722, displaying preset information of the target display element or adjusting the display attribute of the target display element.
The specific implementation process of the steps 708-722 is not substantially different from the step 408-422 in the embodiment shown in fig. 4, and therefore the description of the step 408-422 can be taken into consideration, and the description thereof is omitted here.
Corresponding to the foregoing embodiment, the present disclosure further provides a display method applied to a data large screen. As shown in fig. 8, the method may include the steps of:
step 802, displaying alternative templates suitable for a data large screen, and determining a target template selected by a user from the alternative templates.
Step 804, determining a target data item associated with the target template according to a target scene set by the user for the data large screen, and acquiring target data specified by the user for the target data item.
Step 806, configuring the target template according to the target data to generate a target object, and sending the target object to the data large screen for displaying.
In an embodiment, the data large screen and a control device such as a computer connected with the data large screen together form the display device, wherein the control device is used for generating the target object by the method, and the data large screen is used for displaying the generated target object. Besides the data large screen, the control device can be connected with other display units, such as a display assembled on the control device or a small display connected with the display. Correspondingly, in order to facilitate a user to quickly view the display effect of the target object, the control device may display the alternative template and the user-oriented interactive interface in the other connected display units in the process of generating the target object by the method, display the preview display effect of the generated target object for the user to view and adjust, and send the target object to the data large screen for display after the user determines the final display effect of the target object. Of course, the alternative template, the user-oriented interactive interface, and the target object may also be directly displayed in a data large screen in the process of generating the target object, and the generated target object is directly displayed in the data large screen, which is not limited in this disclosure.
In addition, the data large screen can be installed at a monitoring center, a service center, a dispatching center, a market, a scenic spot and the like; accordingly, the control device connected thereto may be installed at the corresponding location, or the control device may be a remote device connected to the data large screen via a network. Of course, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific size of the data large screen.
