[0017] The following describes embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0018] It should be noted that the titles of any section / subsection provided herein are not limiting. Various embodiments are described throughout this document, and any type of embodiment may be included under any section / subsection. Furthermore, the embodiments described in any section / subsection may be combined in any manner with any other embodiments described in the same section / subsection and / or in different sections / subsections.

[0019] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may be included below. The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may be included below.

[0020] The embodiments of the present disclosure may involve user data, data acquisition and / or use, etc. These aspects shall comply with the corresponding laws, regulations and relevant provisions. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, processing, forwarding, use, etc. are carried out on the premise that the user is aware of and confirms them. Accordingly, when implementing the various embodiments of the present disclosure, the types, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the data or information that may be involved should be informed to the user and the user's authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations. The specific notification and / or authorization method may vary according to the actual situation and application scenario, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0021] If this specification and the solutions in the examples involve the processing of personal information, such processing will be done only with a legitimate basis (such as with the consent of the subject of personal information or as necessary for the performance of a contract) and only within the prescribed or agreed scope. A user's refusal to process personal information other than that required for basic functions will not affect the user's use of basic functions.

[0022] As briefly mentioned above, some traditional content sharing applications allow users to select part of a document and share it with other applications (e.g., instant messaging applications). Such part of the content can be shared in a conversation window such as an instant messaging application in a card style.

[0023] However, with traditional sharing solutions, users cannot effectively set permissions for shared objects. This can result in objects without document permissions being unable to view the shared content. This means only users with document permissions can view the objects, which impacts the efficiency and reach of content sharing. Furthermore, if it is desired that the object can view the shared content, traditional sharing solutions may also grant the object permissions, potentially compromising the security of content sharing.

[0024] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a content management solution. According to the solution, a configuration operation is received for a target content block in a first document, wherein the configuration operation is performed on the target content block. Based on the configuration operation, the target object is associated with the target content block, such that the target object has a first permission with respect to the target content block.

[0025] Based on the above approach, embodiments of the present disclosure can enable objects that do not have access / management permissions for a document to have access / management permissions for content blocks within the document, without changing the objects that have document permissions. Furthermore, the permissions of these other objects for content blocks can be adjusted quickly and easily. This improves the efficiency of content sharing while ensuring the security of content sharing.

[0026] Various example implementations of this solution are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Sample Environment

[0028] FIG1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. In environment 100, an application 120 is installed on a terminal device 110. A user 140 can interact with application 120 via terminal device 110 and / or devices attached to terminal device 110. Application 120 can be an office suite application, a document application, a chat application, or the like. Alternatively, application 120 can be a browser, which can, for example, provide access to and content sharing capabilities via a web page.

[0029] In the environment 100 of FIG1 , if the application 120 is in an active state, the terminal device 110 may present an interface 150 of the application 120 . The interface 150 may include various interfaces that the application 120 may provide.

[0030] It should be understood that although the application 120 is shown as being included in the terminal device 110 in FIG. 1 , part of the processing capability of the application 120 may also be at least partially based on the server 130 , for example.

[0031] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 communicates with the server 130 to enable the supply of services to the application 120. The terminal device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio broadcast receiver, an e-book device, a gaming device or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.). The server 130 can be various types of computing systems / servers that can provide computing power, including but not limited to mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in cloud environments, and the like.

[0032] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0033] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Sample interface

[0035] Figures 2A to 2C and Figure 3 show example interfaces 200A to 200C and an example interface 300 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the interfaces shown in the drawings are merely examples, and various interface designs may actually exist. The various graphical elements in the interface may have different arrangements and different visual representations, one or more of which may be omitted or replaced, and one or more other elements may also exist. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. The example interfaces 200A to 200C and the example interface 300 may be presented at the terminal device 110. For ease of discussion, the example interfaces 200A to 200C and the example interface 300 will be described with reference to the environment 100 of Figure 1.

[0036] In some embodiments, if application 120 is active, terminal device 110 may provide an application interface of application 120. In some embodiments, in response to application 120 being started, terminal device 110 may present a default application interface of application 120. Further, in response to detecting a viewing operation on a certain document (e.g., a first document), terminal device 110 may present a first application interface and present the first document in the first application interface. Such a first application interface may also be referred to as a viewing interface of the first document, for example. The first application interface and the default application interface here may be the same application interface or different application interfaces. For example, the default application interface may be a function introduction interface of application 120, and the first application interface may be an application interface used to present the first document.

[0037] The example interfaces 200A to 200C shown in Figures 2A to 2C can be, for example, viewing interfaces of a document 205 (e.g., "Document A"). In some embodiments, the document 205 can include, for example, a content block 210 (also referred to as a target content block). The content block 210 can include, for example, a content block in the document 205 that supports independent multi-party collaboration, also referred to as a synchronization block. For example, different users can collaboratively edit the synchronization block in different documents. In some embodiments, such a synchronization block can also be synchronized between documents and sessions. It will be understood that, although not shown, the document 205 can include multiple content blocks, and the present disclosure does not limit the number of content blocks in the document 205.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device 110 receives a configuration operation on the content block 210 in the document 205, and the operation object of the configuration operation is the content block 210. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can determine that a configuration operation for the content block 210 has been received in response to receiving a trigger operation (such as a click operation, a long press operation, a double-click operation, etc.) for the content block 210. Based on the received configuration operation, the terminal device 110 associates the target object with the content block 210 so that the target object has a first permission with respect to the content block 210. The target object here may include, for example, but is not limited to, a user object, a group object, an object corresponding to a specified email address, and an aggregate object corresponding to a specified document, etc. The first permission may, for example, include management permission, access permission, sharing permission, reading permission, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure. It should be noted that the second permission of the target object here with respect to the document 205 does not change due to the configuration operation. That is, the terminal device 110 can, for example, allow an object that previously did not have permission to the document 205 to be associated with the content block 210 without changing the object's permission to the document 205 (that is, the object still does not have permission to the document 205).

[0039] Regarding the specific method of associating the target object with the content block 210, in some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can present a configuration window 230 (also referred to as a management window, setting window, etc.) for the content block 210 in response to a configuration operation on the content block 210 in the document 205. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can present multiple configuration windows with different functions. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can directly present the configuration window 230 in response to a configuration operation on the content block 210. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also present an operation bar for managing the content block 210 in response to receiving a trigger operation for the content block 210. The terminal device 110 can receive configuration operations for the content block through the operation bar. The configuration operation here can indicate a management request and / or a sharing request for the content block 210.

[0040] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG2A , the terminal device 110 may present an operation bar 220 in response to receiving a trigger operation for a content block 210. The operation bar 220 may include, for example, a configuration control 221 for sharing the content block 210. The terminal device 110 may determine that a configuration operation for the content block 210 has been received in response to receiving a selection operation for the configuration control 221. The terminal device 110 may then present a configuration window 230 in association with the operation bar 220. It will be understood that the operation bar 220 and / or the configuration window 230 may be presented in any appropriate form and at any appropriate location in the interface, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0041] It should be noted that the current user (i.e., user 140 corresponding to terminal device 110) must have at least the permission to manage content block 210. Only users with permission to manage content block 210 (including the current user) can perform configuration operations on content block 210. It should also be noted that a user with permission to manage content block 210 is not necessarily a user with permission to manage document 205, but a user with permission to manage document 205 must have permission to manage content block 210.

[0042] Based on the first configuration operation received via the configuration window 230, the terminal device 110 may associate the target object with the content block 210, so that the target object has the first permission with respect to the content block 210. It will be understood that since the content block 210 is content in the document 205, an object having permission with respect to the document 205 directly has permission with respect to the content block 210. The first configuration operation may be, for example, a content block sharing operation. For example, in response to receiving a content block sharing operation to share the content block 210 with the target object, the terminal device 110 may associate the target object with the content block 210, so that the target object has the first permission with respect to the content block 210.

[0043] In some embodiments, the configuration window 230 may include an operation control 231 for managing at least one object associated with the content block 210 and an operation control 232 for associating at least one additional object with the content block 210. As shown in Figures 2A and 2B, the terminal device 110 may present an example interface 200B in response to receiving a trigger operation for the operation control 231 in the example interface 200A. The example interface 200B includes a configuration window 240 for managing at least one object associated with the content block 210. The configuration window 240 displays at least one object associated with the content block 210 (for example, it may include "Users who can access this document in the synchronization block project," "User A," "Users who can access this document in the host document A," and "Users who can access this document in the group chat A," as shown in Figure 2B) and permission information 241 of the at least one object with respect to the content block 210.

[0044] In some embodiments, at least one object associated with the content block 210 includes a first aggregated object. In response to the document 205 being shared with the first group of objects, the terminal device 110 may associate the first aggregated object with the content block 210. That is, the first aggregated object corresponds to the first group of objects associated with the document 205. The first group of objects may, for example, include the "users whose synchronized block project can access the document" shown in FIG. 2B , and the first group of objects has permission to access the document 205. The permissions of the first group of objects with respect to the content block 210 are determined based on the permissions of the first group of objects with respect to the document 205. That is, after the content block 210 is shared, the first group of objects with permission to access the document 205 may have permission to access the content block 210 by default, and the first group of objects with permission to manage the document 205 may also have permission to manage the content block 210 by default, and so on (that is, the "follow document permission" in the permission information 241 shown in the figure).

[0045] In some embodiments, content block 210 may also be synchronized to a document other than document 205 (e.g., a second document). In this case, terminal device 110 may associate a second aggregated object with content block 210 in response to content block 210 being synchronized to the second document. Therefore, at least one object associated with content block 210 may include a second aggregated object. The second aggregated object may, for example, correspond to a second group of objects with permissions to the second document (e.g., "Users whose host document A can access this document" as shown in FIG2B ). That is, after content block 210 is synchronized to the second document, the second document includes content block 210. The second group of objects with permissions to the second document may be associated with content block 210. In some embodiments, the permissions of the second group of objects with respect to content block 210 are determined based on the permissions of the second group of objects with respect to the second document. For example, the second group of objects with permission to access the second document may have access rights to content block 210 by default.

[0046] In some embodiments, content block 210 may also be synchronized to a target session. In response to content block 210 being synchronized to the target session, terminal device 110 may associate a fourth aggregate object with content block 210. In this case, the at least one object associated with content block 210 may include a fourth aggregate object. The fourth aggregate object corresponds to a fourth group of objects in the target session. The target session may include a private chat session with another user, as well as a group chat session with multiple other users. Therefore, the fourth group of objects may include one object in the private chat session (e.g., "User A" shown in FIG. 2B ), and / or multiple objects in the private chat session (e.g., "Users in Group Chat A with Access to Document" shown in FIG. 2B ). That is, after content block 210 is synchronized to the target session, the fourth group of objects in the target session may be associated with content block 210. In some embodiments, the fourth group of objects in the target session may have access rights to content block 210 by default.

[0047] In summary, the at least one object associated with the content block 210 may include at least a first aggregate object, a second aggregate object, and a fourth aggregate object. The configuration window 240 may display the at least one object and permission information 241 of the at least one object with respect to the content block 210. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may further adjust the permission information of the at least one object with respect to the content block 210 based on the received second configuration operation. It should be noted that since the first aggregate object may have permissions (such as access permissions, management permissions, etc.) to the document 205, the second group of objects and the fourth group of objects may only have permissions to the content block 210 but not to the document 205. Therefore, in some embodiments, the terminal device 110 cannot adjust the permission information of the first aggregate object with respect to the content block 210, and the terminal device 110 may only adjust the permission information of the second aggregate object and the fourth aggregate object with respect to the content block 210.

[0048] Exemplarily, the terminal device 110 may adjust the permissions of the second group of objects with respect to the content block 210 in response to receiving a configuration operation for the permission information corresponding to the second group of objects in the permission information 241. As shown in FIG2B , the permission information 241 may include multiple permission adjustment controls, each of which may present permission information of a corresponding group of objects (e.g., “readable”). The terminal device 110 may adjust the permissions of the second group of objects with respect to the content block 210 (e.g., to “unreadable”) in response to receiving a configuration operation for the adjustment control corresponding to the second group of objects in the permission information 241.

[0049] Similarly, in some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may further adjust the permissions of the fourth group of objects with respect to the content block 210 based on the fourth configuration operation received in the configuration window 240. Exemplarily, the terminal device 110 may adjust the permissions of the fourth group of objects with respect to the content block 210 in response to receiving a configuration operation for the permission information corresponding to the fourth group of objects in the permission information 241. The terminal device 110 may adjust the permissions of the fourth group of objects with respect to the content block 210 (for example, to "unable to read") in response to receiving a configuration operation for the adjustment control corresponding to the fourth group of objects (for example, "User A" and "Users in group chat A who can access the document") in the permission information 241.

[0050] The above describes a scenario where content block 210 and / or document 205 are shared / synchronized, resulting in some objects having permissions to the content block. The following describes a scenario where content block 210 is created, resulting in some objects having permissions to the content block. Taking the creation of content block 210 in document 205 as an example, in some embodiments, terminal device 110 associates a third aggregate object with content block 210 in response to the creation of content block 210 in document 205. The third aggregate object corresponds to a third group of objects associated with document 205, and the permissions of the third group of objects with respect to content block 210 are determined based on the permissions of the third group of objects with respect to document 205. In other words, objects in the third group that have permission to access document 205 have permission to access content block 210 by default, and objects in the third group that have permission to manage document 205 also have permission to manage content block 210 by default, and so on. For example, if the third group of objects has permissions on the document 205 , then in response to the content block 210 being created in the document 205 , the third group of objects has permissions on the content block 210 by default without being shared.

[0051] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may also create a virtual authorization group that includes a target object, with members of the virtual authorization group having first permissions with respect to the content block 210. For example, the terminal device 110 may create the virtual authorization group that includes the target object via a configuration window. For example, the configuration window 240 may include an operation control 242 for associating the target object with the content block 210. As shown in Figures 2A, 2B, and 2C, the terminal device 110 may present an example interface 200C in response to receiving a trigger operation for the operation control 232 in the example interface 200A and / or in response to receiving a trigger operation for the operation control 242 in the example interface 200B. The example interface 200C includes a configuration window 250 for associating the target object with the content block 210. The configuration window 250 includes an add entry 251. The terminal device 110 may receive, through the add entry 251, the target object to be added to the virtual authorization group and the permissions set for the target object with respect to the content block 210. For example, the terminal device 110 can receive, through the addition entry 251, the object "User B" to be associated with the content block 210, and the permission for the object "User B" to the content block 210 as "Readable" (i.e., User B will have the reading permission / access permission to the content block 210). In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also configure the target object's permission information regarding the document 205 via the configuration window 250. The target object associated with the content block 210 may or may not have the permission to access the document 205. For example, the terminal device 110 can configure the object "User B" to have the permission to access the content block but not the permission to access the document.

[0052] The configuration window 250 may also include a notification selection control 253 and an input box 254. For example, in response to receiving a selection operation on the notification selection control 253, the terminal device 110 may determine to send a notification message to the target object to be added to the virtual authorization group. This notification message may be used to inform the target object that it has been added to the virtual authorization group and associated with the content block 210. The terminal device 110 may also receive user input via the input box 254. This user input may be sent as a notification message to the target object to be associated with the content block. The configuration window 250 may also include a send control 255. For example, in response to receiving a trigger operation on the send control 255, the terminal device 110 may determine to send the user input received via the input box 254 to the target object received via the add entry 251 (i.e., the target object to be associated with the content block).

[0053] Alternatively or additionally, for content block 210, if terminal device 110 adds a new object associated with the content block 210 (e.g., a new object added to a virtual authorization group), terminal device 110 may further send a notification message indicating the addition of the new associated object to a group of objects that have management rights for content block 210. For example, if user 123 has management rights for content block 210 and terminal device 110 adds a new target object associated with content block 210, terminal device 110 may send a notification message indicating the addition of the new associated object to user 123.

[0054] In some embodiments, an object associated with a content block 210 (e.g., a target object) may be allowed access to a viewing interface of the content block 210 based on a configuration operation. If the target object has permission to access the document 205, the viewing interface may display the entire contents of the document 205, including the content block 210. If the target object does not have permission to access the document 205, the viewing interface may only display the content block 210 within the document 205. For example, as shown in FIG2A and FIG3 , the operation bar 220 may further include a content block sharing control 222. For example, the terminal device 110 may share the content block 210 with the target object in response to a trigger operation on the content block sharing control 222. The target object may, by default, only have access to the content block 210, but not to the document 205. For example, in response to receiving an access operation from the target object on the shared content block 210, the target object's terminal device may present an example interface 300, as shown in FIG3 . Example interface 300 may, for example, be a viewing interface that only displays the content block 210.

[0055] In summary, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, objects that do not have access / management permissions for a document can also have access / management permissions for content blocks within the document without changing the objects that have document permissions. Furthermore, the permissions of these other objects for content blocks can be adjusted quickly and easily. This improves the efficiency of content sharing while ensuring the security of content sharing.

[0056] Example Process

[0057] FIG4 shows a flow chart of a process 400 of content management according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 400 may be implemented at the terminal device 110, the server 130, and / or a combination thereof. The process 400 is described below with reference to FIG1.
