The following describes the man-machine interface generation method, computer-readable storage medium, computing device and function execution device of the present invention by describing specific embodiments and referring to the drawings. Those skilled in the art can understand the technical concepts and effects of the present invention through the disclosure. However, without departing from the logic of the present invention, those skilled in the art can design alternative embodiments based on the content of the present invention without departing from the scope of the attached patent application. That is to say, this description is not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention, and each aspect shown below is an exemplary configuration of the present invention.

The method for generating a man-machine interface according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1-3 .

The method for generating a man-machine interface in the embodiment of the present invention includes at least a generating program 600 . The step 610 includes: on the computing device 30 , based on the function F of a function option 110 , generating a function parameter interface 200 corresponding to the function F, wherein the function parameter interface 200 includes at least one parameter 210 . In this embodiment, function F may include various functions related to I/O settings (such as general-purpose input and output (GPIO), analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), pulse-width modulation (PWM), and universal asynchronous transceiver (UART) , input capture (input capture), set system time (real-time clock, RTC) and set display module backlight brightness, etc.). The function option 110 is an option to express the function F, for example, visually or textually. For example, referring to FIG. 1 , the function option 110a indicates the GPIO function, and the function option 110b indicates the ADC function. The meaning of the so-called "corresponding function F" can be, for example, that the parameters 210 required for different I/O setting functions are different (for example, GPIO must set the register number and pull-up resistor state, UART must set the baud rate (baud rate) )Wait). Therefore, the function parameter interface 200 corresponding to the function F will include the parameters 210 required for setting the function F. That is to say, both the content and quantity of the parameter 210 will change corresponding to the function F. Therefore, the selected function option 110 will serve as an input to the computing device 30 , and the computing device 30 will determine the function F and the corresponding parameter 210 according to the input. Afterwards, the corresponding parameter 210 is output on the function parameter interface 200 .

Step 620 includes: on the computing device 30 , using a program generation unit (not shown) to generate a function code associated with the function F and the parameter 210 . In this embodiment, the function code is generated corresponding to the desired function of the function F (for example, converting an analog signal into a digital signal). And in the function code, the variable required by the function is generated corresponding to the parameter 210 .

Step 630 includes: outputting the function code to the function execution device 40 , wherein the function execution device 40 generates a plurality of instructions associated with the function F when executing the function code. Wherein, the output of the function code can be through any wired or wireless connection method. For example, transmitting the function code through a universal serial bus (USB), wired Ethernet or wireless local area network, etc., are all included in the scope of the definition of "output" in this disclosure. However, the connection methods listed above are only examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The description continues with step 630 . The plural commands refer to control signals sent to specific components inside the function executing device 40 in order to make the function executing device 40 execute the function F. That is, these commands are intended to control specific components inside the function executing device 40 . For example, when the expected effect of the function F is analog/digital conversion, these instructions can control the analog-digital converter inside the function executing device 40 to convert the input signal.

The aforementioned program codes are executed by the function executing device 40 to generate input/output control instructions and input/output temporary storage instructions respectively. The input/output control command is intended to control the main board 410 of the function execution device 40 to perform input and (or) output for a specific input interface and (or) output interface corresponding to the function F. For example, when the function corresponding to the function F is ADC, the input/output control instruction controls the specific pin associated with the ADC to perform the input of the analog signal, and controls the specific pin associated with the ADC to perform the input of the digital signal after the signal conversion is completed. output.

Continuing from the above, the input/output temporary storage command is intended to control the temporary storage of the function executing device 40 so that the storage according to the parameter 210 can be written and/or written out corresponding to the function F. For example, the parameter 210 may include a designated register number, which is included as a variable in the input/output register code, so that the input/output register command can control the numbered register to perform Write and/or write out.

Through the configuration of the aforementioned program 600 , the man-machine interface generation method of an embodiment of the present invention can automatically generate the corresponding function code according to the function F of the function option 110 and the parameter 210 of the function reference interface 200 . This saves writing codes for I/O function settings, achieves the purpose of fast I/O settings, and also reduces the technical threshold and cost.

In addition, the computing device 30 of the method for generating a human-machine interface according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a function selection interface 100 . The function selection interface 100 includes multiple function options 110 corresponding to multiple functions (such as GPIO, ADC, PWM, UART, input capture, and RTC). And the function selection interface 100 can be provided by the display element 310 of the computing device 30 to present to the user. Meanwhile, the plurality of function options 110 can be selected by the user. Specifically, the user's selection can be input into the computing device 30 through any input device 320 (such as a keyboard, a mouse, and a touch screen, etc.). After receiving the trigger events of the input devices 320 , the computing device 30 generates the corresponding function parameter interface 200 for the objects clicked, touched or typed (ie, the selected function F). Likewise, the function parameter interface 200 can also be provided by the display element 310 of the computing device 30 and presented to the user. At the same time, the parameters 210 of the function parameter interface 200 can also be edited by the user, and input into the computing device 30 through, for example, any of the aforementioned input devices 320 . The way for the user to edit may include directly typing in a value, clicking on the drop-down menu 215 or pulling a parameter slider (not shown). After receiving the trigger events of the input devices 320 , the computing device 30 generates a function code corresponding to the function F for the objects selected, touched or typed (ie, the edited parameters 210 ).

Under this configuration, the user can select the function option 110 according to the expected I/O function, and modify the parameter 210 of the function F through the function parameter interface 200 . In this way, the user can quickly select the function F and modify its parameters 210 without manually writing program codes.
