In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the interface 40 may also include a tab template query control "query" to allow a user to quickly find a created tab template by entering information such as a template name when maintaining and managing the created tab template.

The following describes the procedure of drawing the label template through the drawing control corresponding to the label template item:

in response to an operation to "draw" the label template drawing control in the interface 40, the interface 60 is displayed, the interface 60 including a component list (left), a drawing area (middle), and a setting area (right), the component list including a text component and an identification code component.

In response to an operation on a text component in the component list, generating a text item and displaying in the drawing area, and displaying a text content setting control in the setting area, such as interface 70 shown in fig. 7; in response to a first operation of the text content setting control, text content of a text item is acquired and displayed in the text item displayed in the drawing area, as shown in fig. 7, for example, a keyboard input "circulation card: "; in response to a second operation of the text content setting control, a variable selection control is displayed, as shown in fig. 7, for example, at the "circulation card" that has been entered: "after character bit mouse right click, then at": "post display" @ "and display a variable selection control, such as that shown in FIG. 7, which presents variable names of variables in a list; in response to the operation of the variable selection control, determining the variable code of the text item associated with the business data and displaying the variable code in the text item displayed in the drawing area, as shown in fig. 7, clicking the variable name "flow card" in the variable selection control by the left button of the mouse of the user, and after the setting of the text item is completed, displaying an interface 80 as shown in fig. 8, and displaying "flow card" at a set position in the label template: it should be noted that the content contained in the final printed label does not directly include "@ ProductionFlowCardNote", but rather the service data associated with the variable code that is obtained from the service system, in this embodiment the template and the variable function to indicate which service data needs to be obtained from the service system and in what presentation form to present in the label.

Further, for example, on the basis of the interface 80, the user again operates the text components in the component list, and in response to this operation, the notebook computer generates text items and displays them in the drawing area, and displays text content setting controls in the setting area, such as the interface 90 shown in fig. 9. Thereafter, unlike the foregoing, the user performs only the first operation (keyboard input "specification: XXX") and does not perform the second operation (right click) on the text content setting control, and after the setting of this text item is completed, an interface 100 as shown in fig. 10 is displayed.

In response to the operation on the identification code component in the component list, generating an identification code item, displaying the identification code item in the drawing area, and displaying an identification code information setting control in the setting area, as shown in an interface 110 in fig. 11, it should be noted that, in fig. 11, the operation of adding the identification code item is further performed based on the interface 100 in fig. 10, and in fig. 11, the default identification code is a two-dimensional code; in response to a first operation of the identification code information setting control, the identification code information content of the identification code item is acquired, as shown in fig. 11, for example, a "circulation card" is input by a keyboard: "; in response to a second operation of the identification code information setting control, a variable selection control is displayed, as shown in fig. 11, for example, in the case of the "circulation card" which has been input: "after character bit mouse right click, then at": "post display" @ "and display a variable selection control, such as that shown in FIG. 11, which presents variable names of variables in a list; in response to the operation on the variable selection control, determining the variable code associated with the service data of the identifier code item, as shown in fig. 11, clicking the variable name "flow card" in the variable selection control by the left button of the user mouse, and after completing the setting of the identifier code item, displaying an interface 120 as shown in fig. 12, where it is to be noted that, in the content contained in the label finally printed, the identifier code corresponds to the service data associated with the selected variable code obtained from the service system, and after scanning the two-dimensional code by using a two-dimensional code scanning program of, for example, a smart phone, the smart phone displays a "flow card: XXXX ", which is the actual flow card number value in the service data.

In some embodiments, in the process of drawing a label template:

as shown in fig. 7 and 9, when the text item is generated and displayed in the drawing area, the setting area also displays a text format setting control "font", "font size", and a text item position setting control "coordinates", "rotation", so that the user sets the text format or position of the text item. The settings area may also include a delete control "delete" for deleting text items.

As shown in fig. 11, when the identification code item is generated and displayed in the drawing area, the setting area also displays an identification code type setting control "identification code type", an identification code item size setting control-wide and high in the setting area, an identification code item position setting control "coordinate", "rotation", so that the user sets the identification code type, size, or position of the identification code item. The settings area may also include a delete control "delete" for deleting text items. For example, if the user selects the identification code type as a bar code, the identification code type is converted and the interface 130 shown in fig. 13 is displayed, and the two-dimensional code in the interface 110 shown in fig. 11 is replaced with the bar code.

In some embodiments, in the process of drawing the label template, the operation on the text component in the component list and the operation on the identification code component in the component list respectively include a drag operation. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the text component of the left mouse click component is dragged and dropped to a location in the drawing area (the location is arbitrarily selected by the user and is subsequently adjustable according to the text item location setting control of the text content setting controls).
