First, step S1 is performed: a description editing window is provided to be displayed on the display for the user to input an editing instruction through the description editing window.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the first window providing module 10 is configured to provide a description editing window 80 to be displayed on the display 91 for a user to input editing instructions through the description editing window 80. In specific implementation, after the user starts the circuit drawing system 1, the first window providing module 10 will provide a description editing window 80 as shown in FIG. 4 for display on the display 91.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the input of the editing instruction is performed by a text description. The description editing window 80 displays an editing field 81 and a completion key 82. The editing field 81 includes a node field 811 and a name editing field. 813 and connection relationship edit field 815. The name editing field 813 allows the user to enter the name of a specific node in text, that is, the name of the named node. The connection relationship editing field 815 is used for the user to input the electronic components connected to the specific node in a text description manner. Taking Figure 4 as an example, the user names the node number 1 as SPI_IO2_R and defines The node of number 1 is connected to the pin of electronic component E561 number 3, the pin of electronic component SPIR1 number 1, and the pin of electronic component SPIR4 number 1. Here, the electronic component E561 is defined by the system as Flash ROM, and the electronic components SPIR1 and SPIR4 are defined by the system as resistors.

Go to step S2: receive the editing instruction and an editing completion instruction, and provide a beautified editing window for display on the display according to the editing completion instruction.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the instruction receiving module 20 is configured to receive an editing instruction and an editing completion instruction inputted by a messenger through the description editing window 80. Specifically, in this embodiment, the text messages (ie, editing instructions) input by the user in the edit field 81 are all received by the instruction receiving module 20. After describing the connection relationship of each node and defining the electrical connection relationship between the electronic components, the user presses the completion key 82 to enter an editing completion instruction, and the editing completion instruction will be received by the instruction receiving module 20.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the second window providing module 30 is configured to provide a beautifying editing window 70 to be displayed on the display 91 according to the editing completion instruction, wherein the beautifying editing window 70 and the description editing window 80 are separated from each other to allow use. The user can only perform one operation on the description editing window or the landscaping editing window at a time. In specific implementation, after the user inputs the editing completion instruction through the description editing window 80, the second view The window providing module 30 then provides a beautified editing window 70 as shown in FIG. 5 according to the editing completion instruction.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the embodiment of the present invention, a circuit diagram 71 is displayed in the beautification editing window 70, and the circuit diagram 71 is drawn according to the editing instruction input by the user in the editing field 81. Following the example shown in Figure 4, that is, the circuit diagram 71 displayed in the beautification editing window 70 will include the electronic components E561, SPIR1 and SPIR4, and the pin of the electronic component E561 number 3 will be electrically connected to the electronic components SPIR1 and SPIR4 number 1 (As they are connected to the same node in common).
