Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of document collaboration technology, and specifically relates to a document collaborative interaction method and system. Background Art
[0002] Document view tracking is a very convenient technical means in collaborative work. Document view tracking means that in a multi-person collaborative environment, when a user chooses to view the current view of another collaborative member, the system automatically adjusts the user's view to the same area as the selected member and enables the collaborative members to view the content synchronously. This makes it convenient for team members to quickly understand each other's work progress, discuss specific content, or review content together.
[0003] Existing perspective tracking technologies (such as Figma) have the following functions: (1) In the system interface, each online collaborator will display a small avatar, usually located in the upper right corner of the top of the file. These avatars indicate whether other members are currently online and their position in the file. (2) When a user clicks on the avatar of a collaborator, the system captures the member's current view state, including information such as the design area they are viewing and the zoom level. (3) The system then smoothly transitions the user's view to the same view state as the selected member, ensuring that the user can see what the selected member is focusing on.
[0004] With the development of remote collaboration and online editing tools, users need more efficient ways to collaborate with multiple people in real time. Existing collaborative editing platforms (such as Figma) provide basic perspective following functions, allowing users to synchronize their views by clicking on the avatars of other collaborative members. However, once the user needs to edit the document or view other parts, they need to manually close the collaborative state before operating; when the editing is completed, the collaborative operation needs to be triggered again to start synchronizing the view. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of this application is to overcome the defects of complex collaborative interaction operations of existing documents.
[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, this application proposes a document collaborative interaction method, including:
[0007] When a user request for view following is detected, the view following state is entered, the document content location data of the collaborative member and the relative position of the current scrolling area are sent to the user, the document browsing area of the collaborative member is displayed on the user interface, and the user interface display is updated in real time according to the collaborative member's operation;
[0008] When the user sets a pause operation, the system enters a temporary detachment state and continues to record the collaborative member's document browsing area data, but no longer sends the collaborative member's browsing area data to the user;
[0009] When the user is detected to perform the set follow-up operation, the view-following state is restored;
[0010] When it is detected that the user has set a stop following operation, the view following state is closed and the browsing area data of the collaborative members is no longer sent to the user.
[0011] As an improvement of the above method, the setting of the pause operation includes: mouse scrolling, shortcut keys or document editing operations.
[0012] As an improvement of the above method, the setting recovery follow-up operation includes: mouse gesture, clicking a setting button, shortcut key or no action for more than a set time.
[0013] As an improvement to the above method, the method further includes: displaying the identifications of all users who operate on the current document on the user interface.
[0014] The present application also provides a document collaborative interaction system, which is implemented based on the above method, and the system includes:
[0015] The interface display module is used to display document content, collaborative member identification and function buttons in the interface;
[0016] A document collaboration module, used to send the document location data of the collaboration member and the relative location of the current scrolling area to the user who initiates the follow-up in real time; and
[0017] The action monitoring module is used to monitor user operations on the interface and perform corresponding actions.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are:
[0019] This application allows users to operate collaborative document content and browse areas outside of the view following function without closing or interrupting the view following function, and can automatically and quickly return to the view following function. This technical solution can be extended to scenarios where collaborative software view following functions are required, shortening the user's operation path and improving a wide range of software user experiences.

[0023] The technical solution of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, this application proposes a document collaborative interaction method and system, aiming to improve the user's collaborative experience and work efficiency. The method includes:
[0025] 1. Document content display and navigation;
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the areas displayed on the interface during document collaboration include:
[0027] Content display area: Gets the document content from the server based on the current user ID and renders it to the content display area of the user interface.
[0028] Navigation bar area: The IDs of the online members of the current document are obtained through the server, and these members are displayed in the navigation bar area so that users can quickly select the perspective of the collaborative member to follow.
[0029] 2. Perspective following initialization;
[0030] After the user selects a collaboration member through the navigation bar and confirms it, the client sends a collaboration request to the server.
[0031] After receiving the request, the server records the document content location data of the selected collaborative member and the relative position of the current scrolling area, and sends these data to the user who initiated the follow-up to ensure that the displayed content is consistent with the collaborative member in real time.
[0032] 3. View following status;
[0033] After receiving the data returned by the server, the user enters the perspective following state. At this time, the server continuously synchronizes the real-time data of the document content location of the collaborative members to keep the user's view consistent with that of the collaborative members.
[0034] The system notifies the user that they are currently in the viewfollowing state and provides options to watch, exit follow, and enter temporary detachment mode.
[0035] 4. Temporarily exit the mode;
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, when it is detected that the user performs a specific mouse event (such as scrolling, editing content) or a keyboard event (such as a set key combination), the system determines that the user needs to enter a temporary separation state and notifies the user that the following state has been currently separated.
[0037] In this mode, the server continues to record the user's current page location and the page location of the collaborative members, but no longer synchronizes changes between the two.
[0038] The system provides users with an operation button or shortcut key to resume following, allowing users to resynchronize back to the perspective of collaborative members at any time.
[0039] 5. Automatic recovery and following;
[0040] If the system detects that the user has no operation (such as scrolling, editing content) for more than a preset time (e.g. 5 seconds) in the temporary detached state, or the user actively triggers the resumption of follow-up, the server will resynchronize the document content location data of the collaborative members to make the user's view consistent with that of the collaborative members. Actively triggered actions include: mouse gestures, clicking set buttons or shortcut keys, etc.
[0041] 6. Stop following
[0042] The user can choose to turn off view tracking, and the system will determine that the tracking is over and stop all related data synchronization operations.
[0043] The present application also provides a document collaborative interaction system, which is implemented based on the above method and includes:
[0044] The interface display module is used to display the document content, collaborative member identification and function buttons in the interface. The document content status is divided into perspective following status, temporary detachment status and closed perspective following status. Function buttons include resume following and close following. Collaborative members include members who are currently editing or viewing the same document online.
[0045] The document collaboration module is used to send the collaborative member's document location data and the relative position of the current scrolling area to the user who initiates the follow-up in real time.
[0046] The monitoring action module is used to monitor the user's operations on the interface and perform corresponding actions, including: monitoring the user's selection of the collaborative member logo to enter the perspective following state, monitoring the mouse or shortcut key actions or editing operations to enter the temporary separation state, monitoring the mouse gestures or clicking buttons or shortcut key actions or no action timeout to enter the perspective following state, and monitoring the mouse or shortcut key actions to enter the closed perspective following state.
[0047] This application allows users to operate collaborative document content and browse areas outside of the view following mode without closing or interrupting the view following mode, and can automatically and quickly return to the view following mode. This technical solution can be extended to scenarios where collaborative software view following is required, shortening the user's operation path and improving a wide range of software user experiences.
