Fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a table editing method according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application. The form editing method may be interactively executed by the first terminal 201, the second terminal 202 and the server 203 shown in fig. 2, it should be noted that the form editing method is interactively implemented by the first terminal 201, the second terminal 202 and the server 203 for example only, and in a practical case, the form editing method is implemented by N terminals and a server; the table editing method includes the following steps S601 to S612:

in step S601, the first terminal sends the attribute data of the target table to the server.

The first terminal is a terminal for initiating collaborative editing. Specifically, as shown in fig. 5a, when the first terminal triggers a table creation entry in the social page, the first terminal displays a table configuration window in the social page; correspondingly, the user can configure the attribute data of the target form in the form configuration window, and after the configuration of the attribute data of the target form is completed, the first terminal sends the attribute data of the target form to the server.

In step S602, the server creates a target table.

In one implementation, the server creates a target table according to the received attribute data of the target table; when the server creates the target table, the table identifier of the target table is generated and stored, wherein the table identifier of the target table may include but is not limited to: target table version number, target table link address, etc.

Step S603, the server sends the table identifier of the target table to the first terminal and the second terminal.

In step S604, the server sends the target table to the first terminal and the second terminal in the form of a table message.

The second terminal is a terminal that includes the same social page as the first terminal, and it can also be understood that the user of the second terminal and the user of the first terminal have an association relationship in the social application (the user of the first terminal and the user of the second terminal belong to the same social page together). The server sends the target form to the first terminal and the second terminal in the form of a form message, the form message is displayed in social pages of the first terminal and the second terminal, and the target form is displayed in the form message.

Step S605, when the target cell in the target table of the second terminal is selected, generating a collaborative editing request, where the collaborative editing request is used to request the server for the permission to perform collaborative editing in the target table.

The collaborative editing request carries the table identifier of the target table and the identity information of the second terminal (e.g., the identity information of the user of the second terminal).

Step S606, the second terminal sends the collaborative editing request to the server.

In step S607, the server detects whether the second terminal has the authority to edit the target form.

Specifically, the server may verify that the second terminals all have the authority to edit the target form based on the collaborative editing request sent by the second terminal; the specific verification method may be as follows: and verifying whether the user corresponding to the second terminal and the user corresponding to the first terminal participate in the same social page or not, or verifying whether the table identifier of the target table sent by the second terminal is consistent with the table identifier of the target table initiated by the first terminal.

In step S608, the server returns a response message to the second terminal.

The response message is used to indicate a response result of the collaborative editing request of the server to the second terminal, for example, the response message is used to indicate that the second terminal has a right to edit the target table, or the response message is used to indicate that the second terminal does not have a right to edit the target table.

In step S609, the second terminal edits the target table.

Specifically, if the second terminal has the authority to edit the target table, the second terminal edits each cell of the target table, and the table content generated by editing is displayed in the target table of the social page of the second terminal in real time.

In step S610, the second terminal sends the form editing operation to the server.

In step S611, the server sends the table editing operation algorithm expression generated by the second terminal to the first terminal.

It can be understood that the first terminal may also edit each cell of the target table, and the table content generated by editing is displayed in the target table of the social page of the first terminal in real time, and meanwhile, the first terminal also sends the table editing operation to the server; similarly, the server sends the form editing operation of the first terminal to the second terminal.

In step S612, the first terminal (second terminal) merges the table contents.

In detail, after receiving the form editing operation of the second terminal (the first terminal), the first terminal (the second terminal) may adopt a collaborative editing algorithm (OT algorithm) to merge the form editing operation of the second terminal (the first terminal) into a current target form of the first terminal (the second terminal), so as to display the content of the form being collaboratively edited by each user in real time in the social page.

In the embodiment of the application, the first terminal can send the attribute data of the target form submitted by the user for the first time to the server; the server generates a target table and a table identifier of the target table, sends the table identifier of the target table to the first terminal and the second terminal, and sends the target table to the first terminal and the second terminal in a form of table messages; the second terminal requests a verification authority (whether the editing authority of the target form is provided or not) from the server; and the server sends the response message to the second terminal, and if the second terminal has the authority of editing the target form, the second terminal can directly edit each cell of the target form, and the form content edited by the second terminal can be displayed in real time in the social page of the first terminal or other terminals. In the process, the server provides data processing service for each terminal participating in collaborative editing, for example, the server verifies the form editing authority of each terminal, the server performs conflict processing on the submitted form editing operation of each terminal, and the server stores the form content submitted by each terminal; in the process of performing collaborative editing on the target form, the existence of the server accelerates the data interaction process and the collaborative editing process among the terminals participating in the collaborative editing, and further improves the information collection efficiency and the statistical efficiency.

The form editing scheme depicted in fig. 6 involves interaction between both the terminal and the server. The following describes the processing logic of the server and the terminal in the table editing scheme.

The terminal interacts with the server through a protocol layer, and the form protocol is responsible for processing the opening of the target form and the acquisition of form contents in the target form. The room protocol is responsible for handling the collaborative editing rights of the user. The form co-change protocol (OT change protocol) is responsible for handling form editing operations and form editing conflicts. The form management module and the form task module are both responsible for managing stored logical relations between a plurality of target forms and each social page, for example, a target form with a form identifier of A of the target form is a target form belonging to a first social page, and a target form with a form identifier of B of the target form is a target form belonging to the first social page, so that the incidence relations between the plurality of target forms and the plurality of social pages are ensured; the form task module also has the following functions: table editing operation or table editing conflict generated by a table editor is butted; receiving the table editing operation returned by the protocol layer (including but not limited to the table protocol and the room protocol) to the terminal; processing the conflict between the table editing operation generated by the terminal and the table editing operation generated by the server; and fourthly, submitting the local form editing operation to the protocol layer and transmitting the operation to the server. Specifically, the processing logic of the form task module can be seen in fig. 9, and fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of the processing logic of the form task module according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. And the table collaborative editing algorithm is responsible for processing the conflict and combination of the table editing operation pushed to the terminal by the background and the table editing operation generated by the terminal. The form editor is responsible for displaying form contents generated by collaborative editing of a plurality of users participating in social interaction, and transferring form editing operations generated by the plurality of users participating in social interaction to the form task module, and submitting the form editing operations to the server by the form task module.
