Abstract

The invention provides a method for allowing multiple users to edit a shared electronic document at the same time, comprising: separately appointing an edition right to at least a part of the electronic document for each user; judging whether each user wanting to open the electronic document has the edition right: if not, refusing operation of the user; multiple users with the edition right each edit at least a part of the electronic document according to their respective edition rights; and storing the parts the multiple users have edited. And it can make multiple users possess different edition rights to the same document, so as to make multiple users able to edit the same document at the same time and store the edited contents of each user into the same document.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to information processing technology, in particular to a method and device for simultaneously editing a shared electronic document by multiple users. Background technique [0002] Electronic documents suitable for editing with a computer have been commonly used. Users can create, edit, modify and save electronic documents using application programs that process electronic documents. In the past, operations on these electronic documents were basically only performed by a single user, but with the development of network technology, mutual communication between computers has been realized, making it possible for multiple users to edit the same electronic document. At this time, electronic The document is placed at a shared location or is in shared mode. The so-called simultaneous editing of the same electronic document by multiple users means that multiple users edit the same electronic document in parallel and save their e...
