The creating module 111 is configured to create a communication file and initialize the communication file. In the preferred embodiment, the creation of the module 111 to initialize the communication file is implemented by setting a plurality of different control key values. The first user interface 12 only needs to change the set control key value to issue the control command. Of course, in other embodiments, the creation module 111 can also initialize the communication file by setting other types of control commands, such as a data read command and a data transfer command.

For example, you can create and initialize a communication file for test control: Test Start=0 Test Finish=0 A Function Test Result=0 B Function Test Result=0 C Function Test Result=0

In the communication file created above, each control key value Test Start, Test Finish, A Function Test Result, B Function Test Result, and C Function Test Result are all initialized to 0. The control key value Test Start is used to set whether to start the test command. When Test Start becomes 1, it indicates that the command second user interface 13 starts to execute the test task; the control key value Test Finish is used to set whether the test is completed, when Test Finish When it becomes 1, it means the first The test task of the second user interface 13 is completed; the control key value A Function Test Result, B Function Test Result, and C Function Test Result respectively indicate the execution status of each test task, wherein a value of 1 indicates that the test passes, and a value of 0 indicates that the test task is not Passed the test.

When the first user interface 12 needs to communicate with the second user interface 13, the first user interface 12 first issues a control command to the created communication file. For example, in the present embodiment, the release control command is to set Test Start=1.

The receiving module 112 is configured to receive a control command issued by the first user interface 12 by using a communication file.

The transmitting module 113 is configured to transmit the issued control command to the second user interface 13 by using the communication file.

After receiving the control command transmitted by the transmission module 113, the second user interface 13 executes a corresponding task according to the control command, and after the task is executed, an execution result is obtained, and the execution result is sent to the communication. file. In the preferred embodiment, the execution result sent by the second user interface 13 may be each control key value, or may be other types of data, such as a path for executing the result data. For example, in the preferred embodiment, the second user interface 13 performs the A, B, and C test tasks, and the A and C pass the test, and if the B fails the test, the test result is issued to set the A Function Test Result=l. , B Function Test Result=0, C Function Test Result=1, when A, B, C are all tested, and set Test Finish=1.

The receiving module 112 is further configured to receive a task execution result of the second user interface 13 by using the communication file.

The transmitting module 113 is further configured to transmit the received task execution result to the first user interface 12 by using the communication file.

The first user interface 12 receives the task execution result, and can continue to perform other tasks according to the task execution result.

2 is a flow chart of a preferred embodiment of the user interface communication method of the present invention. First, in step S11, the creation module 111 creates a communication file and initializes the communication file. In the preferred embodiment, the creation of the module 111 to initialize the communication file is implemented by setting a plurality of different control key values. The first user interface 12 only needs to change the set control key value to issue the control command. Of course, in other embodiments, the setting communication file can also be initialized by setting other types of control commands, such as a data read command and a data transfer command.

In step S12, the first user interface 12 issues a control command to the created communication file.

In step S13, the receiving module 112 receives the control command issued by the first user interface 12 through the communication file, and the transmitting module 113 transmits the released control command to the second user interface 13 by using the communication file.

In step S14, after receiving the control command transmitted by the transmission module 113, the second user interface 13 executes the corresponding task according to the control command, and obtains an execution result after the task is executed.

In step S15, the second user interface 13 sends the execution result to the communication file.

In step S16, the receiving module 112 receives the task execution result of the second user interface 13 by using the communication file, and the transmitting module 113 is connected by the communication file. The received task execution result is transmitted to the first user interface 12. The first user interface 12 receives the task execution result, and can continue to perform other tasks according to the task execution result.
