Wherein, in the process that the terminal automatically executes the operation flow by simulating the user input, if there is a user input or the focus state changes, the operation flow is exited. Embodiment 2 FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an automatic execution method of a terminal operation flow according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the following steps are included: Step S201: An automatic input matching pattern database is established in advance, wherein each record is Indicates what kind of event can trigger the automatic input process when the system is in a certain state, that is, the record includes the following fields: [1, execute system status condition, 2. execute trigger condition, 3. execute flow, 4. self-learning History, 5, execution flow calculation, 6, execution termination conditions, 7, execution of interrupt conditions]. The meanings of the fields in the record are as follows: Execution system status condition: Indicates the requirement that the initial system state of the self-learning or execution automatic input process must be met. Execution trigger condition: If the execution trigger condition occurs under the condition that the execution system status condition is satisfied, the self-learning or the automatic input flow is started. If this condition is empty, then as long as the system state transitions to the execution system state condition, the self-learning or automatic input process can be started; that is, when it is empty, the item always matches successfully. Execution process: Self-learning or an existing execution auto-input process has been completed. Before self-learning, this item can be empty, indicating that the process needs to be calculated through self-learning. Self-learning history: Record self-learning data for performing process calculations. Execution process calculation: The calculation and judgment logic of the self-learning history is used to update the execution flow. Execution termination condition: The self-learning end event is also the execution process termination event. Execution Interrupt Condition: A UI input event that causes an exception to exit during the automatic input process execution. In step S202, an automatic input capture monitoring point is set, and in the automatic input matching mode database, the first two items can be matched at the same time, and the start time of the successful matching is recorded. Step S203, determining whether to execute the automatic input process according to whether automatic execution execution flow data is present, if yes, proceeding to step 205; if not, executing step S204 to execute the self-learning process. Step S204, cyclically monitoring the possible i-th user input event, and recording the event Ti and the offset Ti from the relative start time to the learning record data: (Ti, the user input event i), until the self-learn termination is judged Valid, or the abnormal exit judgment is valid, and the two determine the validity and invalidity of the record set flag respectively. The following N indicates the number of user input operations that have been stored when the self-learning termination judgment is valid. Step S205: Start the timer T=Ti in the automatic input process from 0..N-1, and simulate sending the user input event i when the timer expires. In the meantime, an abnormal exit logical judgment is performed on all UI events, and there is a possibility that an automatic input interrupt occurs. Step S206, clearing the automatic input timer T. If the self-learning record in the current database record has a valid new item, executing the automatic input execution flow calculation logic, and updating the "automatic input" column data i=0..N: (Delay Ti, user input event i). This embodiment provides a method for universal automatic input, self-learning and automatic execution of a terminal, and defines an automatic input database matching record format. The implementation can start from an automatic input execution mode, and gradually expand and facilitate implementation. Embodiment 3 FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an automatic execution method of a terminal operation flow according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the following steps are included: Step S301: Initialize adding a record in an automatic input matching mode database. Each record includes the following fields: [match status, match event, automatic input execution flow data, self-learning record data, automatic input execution flow calculation logic, self-learn termination judgment logic, automatic input interrupt or abnormal exit judgment logic]. Each of the fields corresponds to each field in the second embodiment, but the field names are different. Step S302, setting an automatic input capture monitoring point, in the automatic input matching mode database, the two items can be matched at the same time, and the start time of the successful matching is recorded. Step S303, determining whether to execute the automatic input process according to whether automatic execution execution flow data is present, and if yes, proceeding to step S305; if not, executing step S304 to execute the self-learning process. Step S304, cyclically monitoring the possible i-th user input event, and recording the event Ti and the offset Ti from the relative start time to the learning record data: (Ti, the user input event i), until the self-learn termination is judged Valid, or the abnormal exit judgment is valid, and the two determine the most recent mark of the record. Valid and invalid. The following N indicates the number of user input operations that have been stored when the self-learning termination judgment is valid. Step S305, starting from 0..N-1, the timer T=Ti is automatically started in the automatic input process, and the user input event i is simulated after the timer expires. In the meantime, an abnormal exit logical judgment is performed on all UI events, and there is a possibility that an automatic input interrupt occurs. Step S306, the automatic input timer T is cleared. If the self-learning record in the current database record has a valid new item, the automatic input execution flow calculation logic is executed, and the "automatic input" column data i=0..N: (Delay Ti, user input event i). Embodiment 4 FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an automatic stop of an alarm clock according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the method includes the following steps: Step S401: Initializing a record in the automatic input matching mode database: [Alarm module ringing And in the focus state, trigger event: None, Auto Input: Empty, Learning Record: Empty, Bell Auto Input Judgment Logic: Take the last three sample average values to write "Automatic input, column, self-learning termination condition: Bell termination , automatic input interrupt condition: there is user input or focus change.] Step S402, set the system to automatically input the capture monitoring point, which can be implemented in the alarm module. When the "alarm module is ringing and in focus" is captured, it is automatically In the input matching mode database, the first two entries can be matched at the same time, and the matching time is successfully matched. Step S403, the third item "automatic input" is displayed, if the automatic input execution process is not If yes, go to step S405 and execute the automatic input process. Step S404, start monitoring the stop ringing of possible user input. And record the time offset of the event from the initial ringing to the learning record in the database, and mark the new record as valid: ( Τ, the user stops the ringing input event, valid), go to S408. 4 gather S405, automatically input content, start timer T. Step S406, UI input event judgment: If the above-mentioned timer expires, then go to S407; if the automatic input interrupt condition is satisfied: there is user input or focus change, then Go to S408, otherwise continue this step 4 judgment processing. In step S407, the corresponding user input event is sent by analog. This embodiment includes only one automatic input event, that is, the self-learning termination condition is automatically satisfied subsequently: the ringing is terminated. Step S408, clearing the automatic input timer T. If the self-learning record in the database record has a valid new item, the ringing automatic input judgment logic is executed, and if there are three valid records, the delay offset data is averaged. The corresponding possible multiple users stop the ringing input event and select the most recent one, and update the current "automatic input," the column is: (automatic ringing delay T, last time ringing user input event). 5 is a flow chart for automatically viewing a new short message in the fifth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the following steps are included: Step S501: Initializing a record in the automatic input matching mode database: [New short message prompt status under IDLE Trigger event: LCD open display, automatic input i=0..N: empty (delay Ti, user input event i), learning record: empty (the last three automatic input records and whether it is valid;), new SMS automatically View judgment logic: Take the sample average of the last three operands and write it after the "automatic input," column, self-learning termination condition: the first new message is opened, since Input interrupt condition: users enter or focus changes]. N indicates the maximum number of automatic input events to be monitored. In this example, setting N is large enough. The following is to save the limitation of the number of user input events. Step S502, setting the system to automatically input the capture matching monitoring point, which can be implemented in the short message application module. When the current IDID status is captured and there is a new SMS message prompt, and the LCD is detected to be turned on, or subsequently received an LCD open message, then both cases have an automatic input matching mode database found in the first two records as above. At the same time, the matching is successful, and the start time of the matching success is recorded. In step S 503, the third item "automatic input" is viewed. If the automatic input execution flow is not empty, then step S506 is performed to execute the automatic input process, otherwise the self-learning user input event number i=0 is initialized. Step S504, cyclically monitoring the possible i-th user input to view the new short message event, and recording the event and its occurrence relative to the previous reference time offset Ti to the learning record in the database: (Ti, user input event i, effective). The previous reference time is the last recorded user input event time, and the first use start time is used as the reference time. Step S505, performing self-learn termination condition determination, if terminated, setting a learning record valid flag, and then transferring to S510; otherwise, performing an automatic input interrupt condition judgment, if interrupted, setting a learning record invalid flag, and then changing to S510; otherwise, i is incremented, and then transferred S504. Step S506, according to the automatic input content, start the timer T of the next user input i to be executed. Step S507, determining whether the upper timer expires the event, if yes, go to S508; otherwise, judge whether to turn 510 according to the automatic input interrupt condition; otherwise, continue the determination in this step. Step S508, the analog user input event i is sent. In step S509, it is determined whether the user input event has been executed, and if not, then the process proceeds to S506 to continue to the next automatic input process. Step S510, clearing the automatic input timer T; if the learning record mark is valid, updating the self-learning record in the database, and executing the new short message automatic viewing and judging logic, if the latest three records are consistent, then each delay time is biased After moving the Ti average calculation, update to the current "Auto Input" execution bar.
