Abstract

An interface enables a user to select a graphical object to include in a flow. The graphical object is associated with code, and this code may relate to presenting digital content. The interface further allows a user to define a graphical relationship in the flow, such as a connection between the graphical object and another element of the flow. The interface may present the flow in a first area of a display and the digital content in a second area of the display. The code may be executed based on the graphical relationship. For example, the graphical relationship may indicate an order for executing code sections associated with the flow and data exchanged within the code sections.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by a processor, information selecting a first graphical object and a second graphical object to include in a flow;
determining, by the processor, first code associated with the first graphical object and second code associated with the second graphical object, wherein at least one of the first code or the second code relates to presenting digital content;
determining, by the processor, a graphical relationship between the first graphical object and the second graphical object, wherein the graphical relationship includes a connection between the first graphical object and the second graphical object;
presenting, by the processor, the flow in a first area of a display, and the digital content in a second area of the display;
and
executing, by the processor, the first code and the second code, wherein executing the first code and the second code includes:
determining, based on the graphical relationship, an order to perform the first code and the second code,
determining, based on the graphical relationship, data exchanged between the first code and the second code, and
executing the first code and the second code based on the order and the exchanged data.

6 more elements

A device comprising:

a memory;
and
a processor configured to:
receive information identifying a first graphical object and a second graphical object to include in a flow,
determine first code associated with the first graphical object and second code associated with the second graphical object, wherein at least one of the first code or the second code relates to presenting digital content,
determine a graphical relationship between the first graphical object and the second graphical object, wherein the graphical relationship includes a connection between the first graphical object and the second graphical object,
present the flow in a first area of a display and the digital content in a second area of the display,
determine, based on the graphical relationship, an order to perform the first code and the second code and data exchanged between the first code and the second code,
execute the first code and the second code based on the order and the exchanged data, and
store results from executing the first code and the second code in the memory.

7 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium to store instructions, the stored instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
receive information identifying a first graphical object and a second graphical object to include in a flow,
determine first code associated with the first graphical object and second code associated with the second graphical object, wherein at least one of the first code or the second code relates to presenting digital content,
determine a graphical relationship between the first graphical object and the second graphical object, wherein the graphical relationship includes a connection between the first graphical object and the second graphical object,
present the flow in a first area of a display and the digital content in a second area of the display,
determine, based on the graphical relationship, an order to perform the first code and the second code and data exchanged between the first code and the second code,
execute the first code and the second code based on the order and the exchanged data.
