By the way, in the low code development tool, when developing a group of similar applications (hereinafter referred to as applications), it is possible to develop a common part between applications and an individual part different for each application separately and continuously. When developing a similar application group using a low-code development tool, there are the following two development methods.

The first development method using the low-code development tool is a development method that creates a common part of the same appearance or function for each application. In this development method, since the common part is implemented in each application, the development cost (time and cost) of the overlapping part between the applications is required. In addition, in this development method, since the common part is implemented in each application, there is a risk that different settings are made between the applications even though they are the common part.

The second development method using the low-code development tool is a development method that solves the problem of the first development method of the low-code development tool. Specifically, in the second development method, a template used for application development is created in advance, and when the template is selected when developing a new application, the application can be developed from a state where it has been completed to some extent. It will be possible to start. This second development method is useful as a copy source, but if the selected template is changed after selecting the template, it is difficult to reflect the change in the application to be developed. That is, in the second development method, when it becomes necessary to change the common part after or during the creation of the application, it becomes necessary to change the individual application.

The control unit 102 is functionally conceptually provided with a calling function unit 102a, a synthesis function unit 102b, and the like.

The calling function unit 102a calls the template application 106a and the product application 106b from the storage unit 106.

When the product application 106b is called by the calling function unit 102a, the synthesis function unit 102b temporarily synthesizes the behavior setting held by the product application 106b with the behavior setting held by the template application 106a associated with the product application 106b. Then, the synthesis function unit 102b reflects the behavior setting held by the template application 106a in the product application 106b. As a result, when the common part between the product applications 106b in the behavior settings included in the template application 106a is changed, the change can be reflected in the created product application 106b.

Here, an example of the change process of the template application 106a will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 17. FIGS. 12 to 17 are diagrams for explaining an example of the change process of the template application.

For example, when adding a spreadsheet output function (for example, Excel (registered trademark) output function) to a registration system application group (application group using a registration application template) which is an example of the product application 106b, the synthesis function unit 102b As shown in FIG. 12, a spreadsheet output button is arranged as a screen element in the template application 106a according to the user's operation.

Further, when the spreadsheet output button is arranged in the template application 106a, the synthesis function unit 102b additionally creates a logic flow of the spreadsheet output function for the template application 106a as shown in FIG. Further, the synthesis function unit 102b sets the spreadsheet output process for the placeholder in the logic flow setting data of the template application 106a.

Further, when the spreadsheet output processing is set for the logic flow setting data, the synthesis function unit 102b requests the template application 106a to perform an event (table calculation) of clicking the spreadsheet output button, as shown in FIG. Output click) is created. Then, the synthesis function unit 102b sets the event setting data that links the spreadsheet output click and the logic flow of the spreadsheet output function to the specifications of the template application 106a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the synthesis function unit 102b creates a spreadsheet output possible variable for the template application 106a. Then, the synthesis function unit 102b sets the variable setting data that can be output as a spreadsheet created as a variable in the specifications of the template application 106a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the synthesis function unit 102b creates a spreadsheet output impossibility for the template application 106a as a setting of a truth determination condition. Then, the synthesis function unit 102b sets the condition setting data for which spreadsheet output is not possible, which is created as the setting of the authenticity determination condition, in the specifications of the template application 106a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the composition function unit 102b creates a setting for the template application 106a to lock the spreadsheet output button when the condition setting data cannot be spreadsheet output as a business rule. Then, the synthesis function unit 102b sets the lock of the spreadsheet output button created as the business rule in the specifications of the template application 106a as the business rule setting data.

Further, the synthesis function unit 102b reflects the change in the specifications of the template application 106a in the specifications of the product application 106b.

Next, an example of the product application 106b to which the change in the specifications of the template application 106a is reflected will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 22. 18 to 22 are diagrams for explaining an example of a product application in which changes in the specifications of the template application are reflected.

When the spreadsheet output button is arranged in the template application 106a, the synthesis function unit 102b also arranges the spreadsheet output button as a screen element for the product application 106b as shown in FIG. Further, when the logic flow of the spreadsheet output function is added to the template application 106a, the synthesis function unit 102b displays the logic flow setting data of the product application 106b when the spreadsheet output button is clicked, as shown in FIG. Place the logic flow of the spreadsheet output function for the placeholder in. As shown in FIG. 20, the composition function unit 102b automatically automatically registers the placeholder in the logic flow setting data of the product application 106b even if the spreadsheet output button is not clicked. The logic flow of the spreadsheet output function may be created so that the logic flow setting data can be edited.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the synthesis function unit 102b creates a setting for the product application 106b to unlock the spreadsheet output button when the condition setting data can be spreadsheet output as a business rule. do. As a result, as shown in FIG. 22, the synthesis function unit 102b is in a state where spreadsheet output possible can be selected as the variable setting data set in the product application 106b.

Next, using FIGS. 23 and 24, an example of a process of reflecting the specifications of the template application 106a in the specifications of the product application 106b when the layout placeholder and the logic flow are not set in the template application 106a will be described. .. 23 and 24 are diagrams for explaining an example of processing for reflecting the specifications of the template application in the specifications of the product application.

When the layout placeholder or the logic placeholder is not set in the template application 106a, it is difficult to uniquely reflect the changes made to the specifications of the template application 106a to the specifications of the product application 106b. Here, the layout placeholder is an area (position) in which screen elements can be freely (arbitrarily) laid out in the product application 106b. Further, the logic placeholder is a point (position) in which the logic flow can be freely (arbitrarily) laid out in the product application 106b.

For example, as shown in FIG. 23, the synthesis function unit 102b creates a template application 106a including the card A as a screen element (step S2201). Next, the synthesis function unit 102b uses the template application 106a to create a product application 106b including the card A as a screen element (step S2202).

Next, the synthesis function unit 102b creates a card B as a screen element in the product application 106b (step S2203) and creates a card C as a screen element in the template application 106a according to the user's operation (step S2204). ). After that, the synthesis function unit 102b reflects the change of the template application 106a in the product application 106b (step S2205). At that time, if the layout placeholder is not set in the template application 106a, the composition function unit 102b applies the card C created in the template application 106a to the product application 106b as shown in FIG. 23. In relation to the card B created in 106b, it is difficult to determine what kind of arrangement should be reflected.

Further, for example, the synthesis function unit 102b creates a template application 106a including the process A as a logic flow as shown in FIG. 24 (step S2301). Next, the synthesis function unit 102b uses the template application 106a to create a product application 106b including the process A as a logic flow (step S2302).

Next, the synthesis function unit 102b creates a process B as a logic flow in the product application 106b (step S2303) and creates a process C as a logic flow in the template application 106a according to the user's operation (step S2304). ). After that, the synthesis function unit 102b reflects the change of the template application 106a in the product application 106b (step S2205). At that time, when the logic placeholder is not set in the template application 106a, the synthesis function unit 102b applies the process C created in the template application 106a to the product application 106b as shown in FIG. 24. In relation to the process B created in 106b, it is difficult to determine what kind of arrangement should be reflected.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the composition function unit 102b creates screen elements and logic flows for the template application 106a according to the layout placeholder and the logic placeholder set in the template application 106a. Thereby, when the change of the screen element or the logic flow for the template application 106a is executed, the change of the screen element or the logic flow for the template application 106a can be uniquely reflected in the product application 106b.

Next, using FIG. 25, a process of temporarily synthesizing the behavior setting held by the product application 106b by the synthesis function unit 102b in the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment with the behavior setting held by the template application 106a. An example will be described. FIG. 25 is a diagram for explaining an example of a temporary synthesis process of the behavior setting held by the product application and the behavior setting held by the template application in the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment.

In the present embodiment, when the product application 106b is called, the synthesis function unit 102b temporarily synthesizes the specifications of the product application 106b and the specifications of the template application 106a. As a result, at the time of development or execution of the product application 106b, the defined elements (control setting data, variable setting data, condition setting data, business tool setting data, logic flow setting data, event setting data) of the template application 106a are displayed. It can be treated as if it were an element defined in the product application 106b. As a result, it becomes possible to update the variable setting data of the template application 106a from the product application 106b, refer to the condition setting data of the template application 106a from the product application 106b, and the like.

Here, synthesis means, as shown in FIG. 25, creating a union of the specifications of the product application 106b and the specifications of the template application 106a. Further, here, "temporary" means that the composition result of the specification of the product application 106b and the specification of the template application 106a is not saved. Alternatively, "temporary" may be to save the composition result of the specification of the product application 106b and the specification of the template application 106a excluding the change of the specification of the template application 106a.

Next, an example of the synthesis process by the synthesis function unit 102b of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 to 35. 26 to 35 are diagrams for explaining an example of the synthesis process by the synthesis function unit of the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment.

First, an example of a synthesis process of the control setting data included in the specifications of the product application 106b and the control setting data included in the specifications of the template application 106a will be described. In this embodiment, a layout placeholder is set in the template application 106a. As shown in FIG. 26, the layout placeholder (LayoutPlaceHolder) is an identifier (Id) of the layout placeholder, a display name (Name) of the layout placeholder, and an identifier of control setting data placed (set) in the layout placeholder (setting). ChildIds), identifiers (PlaceId) of layout place items associated with layout placeholders, etc. Further, in the present embodiment, a layout place item is set in the product application 106b. As shown in FIG. 27, the layout place item (LayoutPlaceItem) is an identifier (Id) of the layout place item, a display name (Name) of the layout place item, and an identifier of control setting data placed (set) in the layout place item (setting). ChildIds), layout placeholder identifiers (PlaceId) associated with layout place items, etc. are included.

When synthesizing the control setting data included in the specifications of the product application 106b and the control setting data included in the specifications of the template application 106a at the time of developing the product application 106b, the composition function unit 102b is a product as shown in FIG. 27. A layout place item having the same identifier (PlaceId) as the layout placeholder is created for the position of the layout placeholder in the application 106b. Then, the synthesis function unit 102b adds the control setting data created in the layout placeholder of the template application 106a to the control setting data of the product application 106b. As a result, the child control setting data can be set in the product application 106b.

When synthesizing the control setting data included in the specifications of the product application 106b and the control setting data included in the specifications of the template application 106a when the product application 106b is executed, the composition function unit 102b has a layout as shown in FIG. 28. Using placeholders and layout place items, the screen element (Card) placed (set) in the template application 106a and the screen element (Button1) placed (set) in the product application 106b are combined.
