Description

  The present invention relates to techniques related to a method for structuring components that support multiple screens using a single code in a business application.

  A screen refers to a device that executes a business application and processes data input / output. Recently, with the advent of various screens such as desktops, tablet PCs, and smartphones, screens have been multiplexed. There is a need for a business application function extension so as to support a screen (N-Screen).

  For example, record set data (eg, employee information, order information, etc.) and record field data (eg, name, gender, product code) are provided to the user according to the screen size, resolution, type of input device, and the like. , Etc.) are required to be provided in different forms of user interface (UI) and interaction schemes.

  The business application can prepare various UI and UX (user experience) components, such as grids / tables / radio buttons / list boxes, for each set data or field data for the same type of record. It is possible to create source code that can selectively control the most suitable component for the screen on which the application is executed. In this case, even if the purpose of the function (for example, direct entry of field values or selection from the list) is the same, the source code created in the business application differs depending on the selected component, so that multiple screens can be created. Source code must be created.

  Business applications can use various methods to support multiple screens in business operations.

  For example, a business application creates a single source code that defines the type, form, arrangement and operation structure of components for each data based on the screen that is the smallest or the least functional among the supported screens And a method of applying it collectively to the support target screen can be used. While this approach reduces development costs and is simple, it does not maximize the efficiency of screen-specific characteristics and resource usage, and only provides the minimum level of functions and quality that are commonly available on the supported screens. Has the limitation that it can be provided.

  In yet another embodiment, the business application may use a method that uses the same components for each data in the assisted screen but provides some selectable options. For example, a business application may prepare several alternative resources (eg, graphic files by type, etc.) and then provide a modified UI according to a selection for one of them. However, since the input / output structure of the components is determined, it is difficult to provide components optimized for the characteristics of all the screens according to the above method.

  In another embodiment, the business application may include a component in which a UI form and an interaction method are differently applied according to a screen size, a resolution, and an input device type. A method of searching for and providing a corresponding component can be used. Such a method can provide a high quality UI / UX for each screen to be supported, but requires the development of source code corresponding to the number of screens to be supported in advance, thereby wasting memory and increasing development costs. Can bring.

  On the other hand, as described above, a series of operations of selecting a component providing the UI / UX and applying the selected component to the screen provide the final data stored in the system to the user and obtain the data from the user. It can be seen as a means to achieve the end purpose of a business application that wants to reflect changed data to data permanent storage. However, as described above, some methods have various limitations, and a method that can achieve the final purpose of the business application while compensating for the limitations is required.

  The present invention has been derived in response to such a request, and according to various embodiments, information about data objects and input / output methods that must be processed in components is managed in a business application, and the All input / output functions, including the interaction of the above, are managed in components using information provided from the business application. In this case, there is no need to develop a plurality of source codes for the support target screen in advance, and the business application provides a UI and UX optimized for each support target screen even if the business application has only a single source code. be able to.

On the other hand, if the third extension data unit 114 is not the target stage, the UI / UX component 100 can transmit the event to the second extension data unit 113 that is closest to the third extension data unit 114. On the other hand, if the target stage does not exist in the extension data units 112, 113, and 114, the UI / UX component 100 can attempt to process the event via the basic data unit 111. However, if the transmitted event cannot be processed even in the basic data unit 111 because it follows the individual function, the event is transmitted to the second extended input / output unit 123 located at the outermost position of the input / output unit.

In the second step, the one or more extended data units 112, 113, 114 and the one or more extended input / output units 122, 123 can notify the container 140 of a state change event (for example, call handleEvent ()). it can. In a third step, the container 140 can invoke an aggregate method in response to the notification of the state change event. In a fourth step, the invoked set method can access the extension interface through role-specific instances, and thus ultimately invoke methods for the extension.

  If the user directly calls the wrapper method of the container 140, the extended function can be processed according to the following steps. In a first step, the user can invoke a wrapper method defined by the container 140. In the second step, the invoked wrapper method can invoke the aggregate method of the container 140. In the third step, the invoked collective method can access the extension interface through role-specific instances, thereby ultimately calling the method for the extension.
