Description

Table content processing method and electronic device

[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202410527652.4, filed on April 28, 2024, and entitled "Table content processing method and electronic device", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of data processing, in particular to a table content processing method and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0003] As a means of organizing and arranging data, tables are widely used in various fields such as education, finance, and medical treatment. In many cases, users will reuse the content of the table.

[0004] Users usually reuse the content of the table by copying and pasting. However, the current copying and pasting methods for table content are relatively rough and cannot meet the needs of users, resulting in poor user experience. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a table content processing method and an electronic device to better meet the needs of users and improve the user experience when using the content of the table by copying and pasting.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, in a first aspect, the present application provides a table content processing method. In response to a first selection operation on a target area of a table, the target content in the table is selected. The target area is a partial area of the table, and the target content is all the content in the target area. The starting cursor of the first selection operation is located at the Pth row and Qth column of the table, and the ending cursor of the first selection operation is located at the Mth row and Nth column of the table. The target area is the Qth column to the Nth column in the Pth row to the Mth row of the table. P and M are different. The table is located in a picture, a PDF, a webpage, or a content extraction interface.

[0007] The table content processing method provided by the present application can select all the content in the local area between the starting cursor and the ending cursor corresponding to the first selection operation when the user selects the target area of the table in the picture, the PDF, the webpage, or the content extraction interface. In this way, the user can move the starting cursor and the ending cursor of the selection operation to flexibly frame the content to be selected for copying and pasting. Therefore, the present application can better meet the selection needs of users and improve the user experience when using the content of the table by copying and pasting.

[0008] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the table further includes a table header, and in response to the first selection operation on the table content without selecting the table header, the method further includes: selecting the table header corresponding to the target content.

[0009] When selecting the table content, the user usually has the intention of selecting the table header. Through the above implementation, the table header corresponding to the target content selected by the user can be selected when the user does not select the table header, so that the selected content can be more consistent with the selection intention of the user, and the user experience is improved.

[0010] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, in the case where the table is located in the content extraction interface, before the target content in the table is selected in response to the first selection operation on the table content, the method further includes:

[0111] The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The terms used in the implementation manner part of the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described in some embodiments.

[0112] Tables are widely used in various fields as a means of organizing and arranging data. For the content in the table, users can reuse it through copying and pasting.

[0113] The copying operation mainly involves the selection of table content. When the table is located in an interface that cannot be directly edited by the user (such as a picture interface, a portable document format (PDF) interface, a web page interface, and a content extraction interface), for the table content in the interface, one selection scheme is to select by smearing in the word selection mode, but this method usually needs to be smeared multiple times, which is inefficient.

[0114] Another selection scheme is to select directly in the interface by moving the cursor, however, in many cases, this way cannot accurately identify the selection intention of the user, resulting in a large difference between the selected content and the selection intention of the user. Exemplarily, as shown in (a) of FIG. 1, the cursor moving range corresponding to the selection operation of the user is from "inspection 4" to "30.00" (that is, the user wants to select the whole row corresponding to "inspection 4", that is, the 5th row), and the system finally not only selects the 5th row, but also selects the 2nd and 3rd columns in the 1st to 4th rows.

[0115] Exemplarily, as shown in (b) of FIG. 1, the cursor moving range corresponding to the selection operation of the user is from "inspection 1" to "inspection 4" (that is, the user wants to select the 1st column in the 2nd to 5th rows), and the system finally not only selects the 1st column in the 2nd to 5th rows, but also selects the 2nd and 3rd columns in the 2nd to 4th rows.

[0116] Exemplarily, as shown in (c) of FIG. 1, the cursor moving range corresponding to the selection operation of the user is from the number "1" corresponding to "inspection 1" to "inspection 4" (that is, the user wants to select the 1st and 2nd columns in the 2nd to 5th rows), and the system finally not only selects the 1st and 2nd columns in the 2nd to 5th rows, but also selects the 3rd column in the 2nd to 4th rows.

[0117] Exemplarily, as shown in (d) of FIG. 1, if the user wants to select "theme 2" and the corresponding "date 1" and "place 2", the user may move the cursor from "date 1" to "place 2" when selecting, and the system finally not only selects "date 1", "theme 2" and "place 2", but also selects "theme 1" and "place 1".

[0118] The above schemes cannot balance the selection efficiency and accurately identify the selection intention of the user when copying and selecting the table content in the interface that cannot be directly edited, and it is difficult to meet the user demand, resulting in poor user experience.

[0119] Therefore, the present application provides a table content processing method, which can balance the selection efficiency and accurately identify the selection intention of the user when copying and selecting the table content in the interface that cannot be directly edited, can better meet the user demand, and improve the user experience.

[0120] The table content processing method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to an electronic device, which can include but is not limited to a personal computer (PC), a smart phone, a netbook, a tablet computer, a palm computer, a smart screen, etc. In order to facilitate the description, the electronic device is exemplarily taken as a mobile phone in the following embodiments of the present application.

[0121] Figure 2 is a flowchart illustrating a table content processing method provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 2, the table content processing method provided in this embodiment may include the following steps:

[0122] S110, Display the first interface.

[0123] The first interface can be an image interface, a PDF interface, a webpage interface, or any other interface that the user cannot directly edit. The first interface can include the target table, which may or may not have borders.

[0124] S120, In response to the content extraction operation on the first interface, display the extraction result on the first interface.

[0125] Content extraction can be a long press operation by the user on the first interface, or a click on the content extraction button. The electronic device can respond to the content extraction operation on the first interface by analyzing and extracting text and table information from it. The table information can include the area where the table is located, the table header, the table body, the correspondence between rows and columns, and the correspondence between cells in the table (e.g., one-to-one, one-to-many, one-to-blank).

[0126] The extraction results displayed on the first interface may include a table corresponding to the target table. In some embodiments, the table headers and bodies in the extraction results can be displayed differently to more intuitively show the table content. For example, as shown in Figures 3(a) and (b), in response to the content extraction operation on the first interface, the text in the table headers of the displayed extraction results is underlined, and the color of the underline can be distinguished from the color of the text in the table to achieve a better differentiated display effect.

[0127] In some embodiments, the table area can be differentiated from the non-table area to more intuitively display the table content. For example, as shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b), the areas containing "Human-Computer Interaction Leads the Future" and "Organizer: xxx" in the first interface are non-table areas, while the areas containing "Date," "Main Body," "Location," and their corresponding specific content are table areas. In response to the content extraction operation on the first interface, the table area and the non-table area are displayed with different colors in the extraction results. In some embodiments, different backgrounds can also be used to differentiate the table area from the non-table area.

[0128] In some embodiments, in a case where there is a first cell (i.e., a merged cell) in the target table, and the merged cell corresponds to a plurality of second cells, the table corresponding to the extraction result can include a plurality of first sub-cells split based on the first cell, and the first sub-cells can correspond to the second cells one by one.

[0129] Exemplarily, as shown in (a) of FIG. 5 and (b) of FIG. 5, there is a merged cell in the target table of the first interface, i.e., the cell where “Date 1” is located and the cell where “Date 2” is located, where “Date 1” corresponds to “Topic 1” and “Topic 2”, and “Date 2” corresponds to “Topic 3”, “Topic 4” and “Topic 5”. In response to the content extraction operation on the first interface, in the displayed extraction result, the cell where “Date 1” is located is split into two sub-cells, and the text in the two sub-cells is “Date 1” respectively, and the two sub-cells correspond to “Topic 1” and “Topic 2” respectively, and the cell where “Date 2” is located is split into three sub-cells, and the text in the three sub-cells is “Date 2” respectively, and the three sub-cells correspond to “Topic 3”, “Topic 4” and “Topic 5” respectively.

[0130] By splitting the merged cell, the user's selection demand for the table content can be better met. For example, if the user wants to select “Topic 2” and the corresponding “Date 1” and “Location 2” in (b) of FIG. 5, the user can directly move the cursor from “Date 1” in the first column and the third row to “Location 2” to select the third row when selecting, without selecting “Topic 1” and “Location 1” as shown in (d) of FIG. 1.

[0131] In some embodiments, after splitting the merged cell, the text position in the original merged cell can be maintained in the table corresponding to the extraction result, and a mark can be set for each cell after splitting to indicate each cell after splitting. In this way, in the extraction interface, the content in a merged cell can be displayed at only one place, so that when the content in the merged cell is more, the crowded degree of the content displayed in the extraction interface can be reduced, and the user experience can be improved.

[0132] Exemplarily, as shown in (a) of FIG. 6 and (b) of FIG. 6, there are merged cells in the target table of the first interface, i.e., the cells where "Date 1" is located and the cells where "Date 2" is located, where "Date 1" corresponds to "Topic 1" and "Topic 2", and "Date 2" corresponds to "Topic 3", "Topic 4" and "Topic 5". In response to the content extraction operation on the first interface, in the displayed extraction result, the cell where "Date 1" is located is split into two sub-cells, and the left and right sides of the two sub-cells are each provided with a triangular mark, and the cell where "Date 2" is located is split into 3 sub-cells, and the left and right sides of the 3 sub-cells are each provided with a triangular mark.

[0133] It can be understood that the mark provided for the split cell can also be a rhombus, a circle or other shapes, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations thereto.

[0134] In some embodiments, in the case where there is a blank cell in the target table, the blank cell can also be displayed in the position of the blank cell in the table corresponding to the extraction result, so that the cursor of the subsequent selection operation can be moved to the position of the blank cell.

[0135] Exemplarily, as shown in (a) of FIG. 7 and (b) of FIG. 7, in the target table of the first interface, the cell in the 3rd row and the 3rd column is a blank cell. In response to the content extraction operation on the first interface, in the displayed extraction result, a blank cell is displayed in the position of the original blank cell.

[0136] S130, in response to the first selection operation on the table content, the target content in the table is selected.

[0137] The table can be located in a picture, a PDF or a webpage, or can be located in a content extraction interface displayed after a content extraction operation is performed on the picture, the PDF or the webpage. The embodiments of the present application will be exemplarily described below with the table located in the content extraction interface.

[0138] The first selection operation can be an operation of moving a cursor in the table of the content extraction interface when the user copies. In response to the first selection operation for the table content, the electronic device can select all content in a target area of the table. The target area can be a partial area of the table or the entire area of the table, and the target area can be determined according to the positions of the start cursor and the end cursor of the first selection operation. For example, if the start cursor of the first selection operation is located at the Pth row and the Qth column of the table and the end cursor of the first selection operation is located at the Mth row and the Nth column of the table, the target area can be the Qth column to the Nth column in the Pth row to the Mth row of the table. P and M can be the same or different, and Q and N can be the same or different, where P and M can be different when Q and N are the same, and P and M can be different when Q and N are the same.

[0139] For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 8, the start cursor of the first selection operation is located at the 2nd row and the 1st column of the table, and the end cursor of the first selection operation is located at the 2nd row and the 3rd column of the table, and the selected target area is the 1st column to the 3rd column of the 2nd row of the table.

[0140] For example, as shown in (b) of FIG. 8, the start cursor of the first selection operation is located at the 1st column of the 1st row of the table, and the end cursor of the first selection operation is located at the 1st column of the 8th row of the table, and the selected target area is the 1st column in the 1st row to the 8th row.

[0141] For example, as shown in (c) of FIG. 8, the start cursor of the first selection operation is located at the 1st column of the 2nd row of the table, and the end cursor of the first selection operation is located at the 2nd column of the 5th row of the table, and the selected target area is the 1st column and the 2nd column in the 2nd row to the 5th row.

[0142] For example, as shown in (d) of FIG. 8, the start cursor of the first selection operation is located at the 1st column of the 3rd row of the table, and the end cursor of the first selection operation is located at the 3rd column of the 3rd row of the table, and the selected target area is the 1st column to the 3rd column of the 3rd row of the table.

[0143] For example, as shown in (e) of FIG. 8, the start cursor of the first selection operation is located at the 1st column of the 2nd row of the table, and the end cursor of the first selection operation is located at the 3rd column of the 3rd row of the table, and the selected target area is the 1st column to the 3rd column in the 2nd row and the 3rd row.

[0144] For example, as shown in (f) of FIG. 8, the start cursor of the first selection operation is located at the 1st column of the 2nd row of the table, and the end cursor of the first selection operation is located at the 3rd column of the 3rd row of the table, and the selected target area is the 1st column to the 3rd column in the 2nd row and the 3rd row.

[0145] In some embodiments, the target region can also be the middle row and the middle column of the table. For example, as shown in (g) of FIG. 8, the starting cursor of the first selection operation is located at the second column of the second row of the table, and the ending cursor is located at the third column of the fifth row of the table. The selected target region is the second column and the third column in the second row to the fifth row of the table.

[0146] By this table content selection manner, when the user selects the target region of the picture, the PDF, the webpage or the table in the content extraction interface, the local region between the starting cursor and the ending cursor corresponding to the first selection operation can be selected according to the first selection operation (that is, the rows between the starting cursor and the ending cursor, and the columns between the starting cursor and the ending cursor). In this way, the user can move the starting cursor and the ending cursor of the first selection operation to flexibly select the content to be selected for copying and pasting, so as to better meet the selection requirements of the user and improve the experience of the user when using the table content by copying and pasting.

[0147] Since the user usually has the intention to select the table header when selecting the table content, in some embodiments, when the table header exists in the table but the first selection operation does not select the table header, the electronic device can also select the table header corresponding to the target content when selecting the target region according to the first selection operation of the user, so that the selected content is more in line with the selection intention of the user and the user experience is improved.

[0148] For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the table header (that is, “payment item”, “quantity”, “amount”) exists in the table. The target content selected by the electronic device according to the first selection operation of the user is “inspection 2”, “2”, “20.00”, “inspection 3”, “1” and “14.00”. The electronic device also selects the table header “payment item” corresponding to “inspection 2” and “inspection 2” by means of the dashed box, the table header “quantity” corresponding to “2” and “1”, and the table header “amount” corresponding to “20.00” and “14.00”. The electronic device can also select the table header corresponding to the target content by other means, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0149] In some embodiments, when the first selection operation selects both the table header and the table body, the electronic device can also differentially display the selected table header region and the table body region. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the first selection operation selects both the table header (that is, the first row) and the table body (that is, the second to fourth rows). The color of the selected table header region is different from the color of the table body region.

[0150] The electronic device can also differentially display the selected table header region and the table body region by setting different selection styles for the selected table header region and the table body region and other means.

[0151] S140, in response to the same content search operation, selecting all rows or all columns in the table that include the target content.

[0152] The same content search operation can be a selection operation of the user for a same content search option. For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 11, the same content search option (i.e., the "Search Same" option) can be arranged to the right of the full selection option. The same content search option can also be arranged to the left of the full selection option, and the embodiments of the present application do not make a specific limitation in this regard.

[0153] The same content search option can appear together with the copy option, or after the target content in the table is selected according to the first selection operation of the user, the same content search option can be displayed only when there is content in the table that is the same as the target content.

[0154] After the user triggers the same content search option, the electronic device can select all rows or all columns in the table that include the target content, which can improve the flexibility and convenience of the first selection operation and improve the selection efficiency. For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 11 and (b) of FIG. 11, after the electronic device selects "Theme 3" according to the first selection operation of the user, in response to the operation of the user clicking the "Search Same" option, the third row and the fourth row that include the target content "Theme 3" are selected.

[0155] In some embodiments, after the user triggers the same content search option, the electronic device can directly copy the selected content to the clipboard after selecting all rows or all columns in the table that include the target content, so as to further improve the selection efficiency. For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 12 and (b) of FIG. 12, after the electronic device selects "Theme 3" according to the first selection operation of the user, in response to the operation of the user clicking the "Search Same" option, the third row and the fourth row that include the target content "Theme 3" are selected. At the same time, the content of the third row and the fourth row is copied, and the user is prompted that the selected content has been copied to the clipboard.

[0156] S150, in response to the first operation, entering a multi-selection mode, and in the multi-selection mode, in response to a second selection operation for the table content, selecting corresponding content in the table.

[0157] In some embodiments, the first operation can be a long press operation of the touch point corresponding to the end cursor of the first selection operation of the user. The electronic device can enter the multi-selection mode in response to the first operation, and select corresponding content in the table according to the first selection operation and the second selection operation of the user after entering the multi-selection mode. The second selection operation can be a single selection operation or a multiple selection operation.

[0158] Specifically, if the selection region corresponding to the first selection operation (hereinafter referred to as the first selection region) and the selection region corresponding to the second selection operation (hereinafter referred to as the second selection region) do not overlap, the first selection region and the second selection region are both selected.

[0159] For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 13, (b) of FIG. 13, and (c) of FIG. 13, the electronic device selects the 2nd row in the table in response to the first selection operation, and enters the multi-selection mode in response to a long press operation of the contact corresponding to the end cursor of the first selection operation. In the multi-selection mode, the 4th row and the 5th row in the table are selected again in response to the second selection operation (the start cursor of the second selection operation is located at the 1st column of the 4th row, and the end cursor is located at the 3rd column of the 5th row). After the contact is released (i.e., the long press operation ends), the multi-selection mode is exited, and finally the electronic device selects the 2nd row, the 4th row, and the 5th row in the table.

[0160] If the first selection region and the second selection region overlap, the non-overlapping part of the first selection region and the second selection region is selected.

[0161] For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 14, (b) of FIG. 14, and (c) of FIG. 14, the electronic device selects the 2nd row to the 5th row in the table in response to the first selection operation, and enters the multi-selection mode in response to a long press operation of the contact corresponding to the end cursor of the first selection operation. In the multi-selection mode, the 3rd row and the 4th row selected in the first selection operation are released in response to the second selection operation (the start cursor of the second selection operation is located at the 1st column of the 4th row, and the end cursor is located at the 3rd column of the 3rd row). After the contact is released, the multi-selection mode is exited, and finally the electronic device selects the 2nd row and the 5th row in the table.

[0162] For example, as shown in (d) of FIG. 14, (e) of FIG. 14, and (f) of FIG. 14, the electronic device selects the 2nd row to the 5th row in the table in response to the first selection operation, and enters the multi-selection mode in response to a long press operation of the contact corresponding to the end cursor of the first selection operation. In the multi-selection mode, the 5th row selected in the first selection operation is released in response to the second selection operation (the start cursor of the second selection operation is located at the 1st column of the 6th row, and the end cursor is located at the 3rd column of the 5th row). After the contact is released, the multi-selection mode is exited, and finally the electronic device selects the 2nd row to the 4th row, and the 6th row in the table.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first operation can also be a long press operation on a non-text region in the interface. Illustratively, as shown in (a) of FIG. 15, (b) of FIG. 15, (c) of FIG. 15, and (d) of FIG. 15, the electronic device enters the multi-selection mode in response to a long press operation on a non-text region in the interface. In the multi-selection mode, in response to a first selection operation, the electronic device selects the second to fifth rows in the table, and in response to a second selection operation (the start cursor of the second selection operation is located at the first column of the fourth row of the table, and the end cursor is located at the third column of the third row of the table), the third and fourth rows selected in the release of the first selection operation. After the touch point is released, the multi-selection mode is exited, and finally the electronic device selects the second and fifth rows in the table.

[0164] In some embodiments, the user can also long press a non-text region in the interface after a selection operation, enter the multi-selection mode, and in this case, the region selected by the electronic device can be determined according to the selection operation before entering the multi-selection mode and the selection operation after entering the multi-selection mode. Illustratively, as shown in (a) of FIG. 16, (b) of FIG. 16, (c) of FIG. 16, and (d) of FIG. 16, the electronic device selects the second to fifth rows in the table in response to a first selection operation, and enters the multi-selection mode in response to a long press operation on a non-text region in the interface. In the multi-selection mode, in response to a second selection operation (the start cursor of the second selection operation is located at the first column of the fourth row of the table, and the end cursor is located at the third column of the third row of the table), the third and fourth rows selected in the release of the first selection operation. After the touch point is released, the multi-selection mode is exited, and finally the electronic device selects the second and fifth rows in the table.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first operation can also be an operation in which the user selects a multi-selection option. Illustratively, as shown in (a) of FIG. 17, (b) of FIG. 17, (c) of FIG. 17, and (d) of FIG. 17, the electronic device selects the second to fifth rows in the table in response to a first selection operation, and enters the multi-selection mode in response to a click operation on a multi-selection option in the interface. In the multi-selection mode, in response to a second selection operation (the start cursor of the second selection operation is located at the first column of the fourth row of the table, and the end cursor is located at the third column of the third row of the table), the third and fourth rows selected in the release of the first selection operation. Finally, the electronic device selects the second and fifth rows in the table.

[0166] The multi-selection option can be arranged to the right of the copy option as shown in (a) of FIG. 17, or can be arranged at other positions, such as to the right of the select-all option, and embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0167] The table content processing method provided in the embodiments of the present application can select all the content in the local area (i.e., between the row where the starting cursor is located and the row where the ending cursor is located, and between the column where the starting cursor is located and the column where the ending cursor is located) between the starting cursor and the ending cursor corresponding to the first selection operation when the user selects the target area of the table in the picture, the PDF, the webpage or the content extraction interface. In this way, the user can flexibly frame the content to be selected by moving the starting cursor and the ending cursor of the selection operation to copy and paste, so that the present solution can better meet the selection requirements of the user and improve the experience of the user when using the table content by copying and pasting.

[0168] In the case that the selected content of the electronic device meets the selection intention of the user, the user can copy the selected content and paste it to other positions.

[0169] The paste operation mainly involves the display of the copied content. FIG. 18 is a paste display interface of the copied content provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in (a) of FIG. 18 and (b) of FIG. 18, each row of the selected content includes 3 columns, but after being pasted in the memo, the selected content is merged into 1 column, which causes the meaning of the displayed content after pasting to be not clear and the readability to be poor. In addition, for the text content of a cell in the selected content that is naturally line-wrapped, such as the text content corresponding to the 4th row of the 1st column of the table in (a) of FIG. 18: “ordinary visual inspection”, when displayed after pasting, it is also displayed in two rows, such as the 4th row “ordinary visual inspection” and the 5th row “check” of the memo in (b) of FIG. 18, which further causes the readability to be poor.

[0170] Therefore, another table content processing method is provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method performs text processing on the selected content according to the semantics of the selected content when copying, and displays the processed selected content, so as to improve the readability of the displayed content after pasting and improve the user experience.

[0171] The table content processing method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to an electronic device, which can include but is not limited to a personal computer (PC), a smart phone, a netbook, a tablet computer, a palm computer, a smart screen and the like. In order to facilitate the description, the electronic device is exemplarily taken as a mobile phone in the subsequent embodiments of the present application.

[0172] FIG. 19 is a flow diagram of another table content processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 19, the another table content processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application can include the following steps:

[0173] S210, in response to the paste operation after the first content in the table is copied, the second content is displayed.

[0174] The electronic device can text-process the first content according to semantics of the first content to obtain second content, which can include the first content.

[0175] Specifically, in a case where the table has a table header, the electronic device can first associate the first content with a corresponding table header according to semantics of the first content to obtain second content, and then display the second content. In this way, the user can more easily understand the meaning of the pasted content through the table header, thereby improving the readability of the pasted content.

[0176] For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 20 and (b) of FIG. 20, "Inspection 1", "Inspection 2", and "General vision inspection" in the selected first content are displayed after being associated with the table header "Payment item"; "1", "3", "2" are displayed after being associated with the table header "Quantity"; and "16.00", "20.00", "30.00" are displayed after being associated with the table header "Amount".

[0177] For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 21 and (b) of FIG. 21, "Energy", "Carbohydrate", "Protein", and "Fat" in the selected first content are displayed after being associated with the table header "Item"; "1", "3", "2" are displayed after being associated with the table header "Quantity"; and "16.00", "20.00", "30.00" are displayed after being associated with the table header "Amount". The table header "Nutrient reference value %" is respectively associated with the corresponding content "21%", "16%", "7%", and "40%" and merged into one word group for display.

[0178] For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 22 and (b) of FIG. 22, the table header "Related elements" in the selected first content is respectively associated with the corresponding content "Cl2, O3, concentrated HNO3", "Activated carbon", and only the corresponding content is displayed without repeating the "Related elements" word.

[0179] In some embodiments, in a case where the table does not have a table header, the electronic device can first infer a corresponding table header according to semantics of the first content, then associate the first content with the corresponding inferred table header to obtain second content, and then display the second content. In this way, the user can more easily understand the meaning of the pasted content through the inferred table header, thereby improving the readability of the pasted content.

[0180] Exemplarily, as shown in (a) of FIG. 23 and (b) of FIG. 23, it is presumed that the table header corresponding to "December 1" and "December 2" in the selected first content can be time, the table header corresponding to "Psychology" and "Introduction to Economics" can be course, the table header corresponding to "Zhang San" and "Li Si" can be teacher, and the table header corresponding to "A College" and "B College" can be sponsor college. When displayed, the first content is displayed in association with the presumed table header.

[0181] In some embodiments, the second content can also be obtained by adding corresponding punctuation marks according to the semantic relationship between texts in the first content, and then the second content is displayed. In this way, the information hierarchy and relationship in the first content can be strengthened, the readability of the pasted content can be improved, and the user can quickly read and understand.

[0182] For example, a colon is added between texts that have an explanatory relationship. Exemplarily, as shown in (a) of FIG. 24 and (b) of FIG. 24, the second column of each of the second to seventh rows of the selected first content is used to explain the specific amount corresponding to the first column. When displayed, a colon ":" is added between the first column and the second column of each of the second to seventh rows of the first content.

[0183] For another example, a dash is added between texts that have a start-end relationship. Exemplarily, as shown in (a) of FIG. 25 and (b) of FIG. 25, "XX International Airport T1" in the selected first content has a start-end relationship with "Bus Station 1" and "Bus Station 2", respectively. When displayed, a dash "— " is added between "XX International Airport T1" and "Bus Station 1" and between "XX International Airport T1" and "Bus Station 2", respectively.

[0184] In some embodiments, the line break between continuous semantic texts in the first content can also be deleted. Exemplarily, as shown in (a) of FIG. 26 and (b) of FIG. 26, in the selected first content, the continuous semantic text "ordinary vision examination" in the cell in the first column of the fourth row has a line break between "ordinary vision" and "examination" due to the size limitation of the cell. When displayed, the line break is deleted, so as to improve the readability of the pasted content, and the user does not need to perform the operation of deleting the line break when editing the pasted content, which can reduce the editing operation of the user and improve the user experience.

[0185] In some embodiments, the position relationship between texts in the first content can also be adjusted according to the information type of each text, the semantic relationship between texts, the font size of each text, and other information, so as to strengthen the information hierarchy and relationship of the first content, improve the readability of the content pasted by the user, and facilitate the user to quickly read and understand.

[0186] Specifically, the information types of the texts in the first content can be analyzed by named entity recognition (NER) or the like, and the texts can be classified according to the information. Then, the semantic relationship between the texts in the first content can be analyzed by a chat generative pre-trained transformer (chatGPT) or the like. In addition, the position relationship between the texts in the first content can be adjusted according to the font size of the texts.

[0187] For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 27 and (b) of FIG. 27, in the first content, the texts “08:35” and “11:40” represent the takeoff time and the landing time of the airplane (there is a start-end relationship between “08:35” and “11:40”), “3h5m” represents the flight duration, and the font of the texts “08:35” and “11:40” is the largest. Therefore, the texts “08:35” and “11:40” can be displayed first, and a hyphen can be added between the texts “08:35” and “11:40”. The text “3h5m” can be displayed next to the texts “08:35” and “11:40”, and the text “3h5m” can be enclosed in parentheses. The texts “A airport T3” and “B airport T3” represent the takeoff place and the landing place of the airplane, and the texts “A airport T3” and “B airport T3” can be displayed in a new line. A hyphen can be added between the texts “A airport T3” and “B airport T3”. The texts “Economy class” and “￥3000” represent the ticket price and the corresponding cabin, and the texts “Economy class” and “￥3000” can be displayed in a new line. The texts “Economy class” and “￥3000” can be connected by a symbol “|”. The texts “CA1xx international route”, “Local area network”, and “xx77W” represent other secondary information, and the texts “CA1xx international route”, “Local area network”, and “xx77W” can be displayed in the last line. The texts “CA1xx international route”, “Local area network”, and “xx77W” can be connected by a symbol “|”.

[0188] In some embodiments, when the table style can be displayed at the paste position, the electronic device can display a table format paste option. After the user selects the table format paste option, the electronic device can display the style of the table at the paste position. The electronic device can display the original style of the table, or can redraw the original style of the table and display the redrawn table style. The original style of the table can be obtained when the table is copied, or can be generated according to the positions of the texts in the first content. The following examples are used to illustrate the electronic device displaying the table style after redrawing the table style.

[0189] Exemplarily, as shown in (a) of FIG. 28 and (b) of FIG. 28, the selected first content does not include a table header, and the electronic device can add a corresponding table header when displaying, and the added table header can more clearly indicate the meaning of the pasted content, improving the readability of the pasted content. The electronic device can also adjust the thickness of the border corresponding to the table header, so that the border corresponding to the table header is thicker. The electronic device can also adjust the texture color of the table header to distinguish the texture color of the table header from the table body. The electronic device can also adjust the font of the text corresponding to the table header (such as font size, font style, font color, font slant, bold, underline, etc.) to distinguish the text in the table header from the text in the table body, to strengthen the hierarchy and relationship between the table header and the table body, and to improve the readability of the pasted content.

[0190] The table content processing method provided by the embodiments of the present application can improve the user experience when the user uses the table content by copying and pasting, because the displayed second content is obtained by text processing or table redrawing on the first content (i.e. the content copied by the user in the table) according to the semantics of the first content, so that the pasted second content has higher readability than the copied first content.

[0191] It can be understood that the operation input by the user on the electronic device in the present application is not limited to touch operation, but can also be voice control operation, air gesture operation or remote control operation, etc.; the touch operation input by the user is not limited to click operation and gesture operation, but can also be other operations, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not particularly limit this.

[0192] The naming method of the operation input by the user in the embodiments of the present application is only an example, which should not be understood as a limitation of the embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the same operation can also use other names. Similarly, the naming of various functions, interfaces and interface elements in the embodiments of the present application is only an example, which is not used to limit the present application, and in other embodiments, other names can also be used.

[0193] In addition, the user interface shown in the embodiments of the present application is only an example, which is not used to limit the present application, and in some embodiments, the user interface displayed by the electronic device can include more or less interface elements than the illustration to realize more or less functions; the position of each interface element can be adjusted as needed; each function can also be realized by other interface elements, or can also be realized in other user interfaces, and the embodiments do not particularly limit this.

[0194] Those skilled in the art can understand that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not intended to limit the present application. In possible cases, the execution order of one or more steps in the above steps can be adjusted, for example, in some embodiments, step S140 and step S150 can be executed before step S130, and in some embodiments, step S150 can be executed before step S140. Selective combination can also be made to obtain one or more other embodiments, for example, in some embodiments, steps S110, S120, S140 and S150 can all not be executed, and in some embodiments, part of steps S110-S150 can be executed. Those skilled in the art can make selective combination of any of the above steps as needed, and any embodiment that does not deviate from the spirit of the present application falls within the protection scope of the present application.

[0195] Based on the same concept, as an implementation of the above method, the embodiment of the present application provides a data processing apparatus, which corresponds to the embodiments related to the selection operation during copying in the above method embodiments. For ease of reading, the details of the embodiments related to the selection operation during copying in the above method embodiments will not be repeated one by one, but it should be clear that the apparatus in the present embodiment can correspondingly implement all the contents of the embodiments related to the selection operation during copying in the above method embodiments.

[0196] FIG. 29 is a structural schematic diagram of a data processing apparatus provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 29, the data processing apparatus provided by the present embodiment can include a selection module 210.

[0197] The selection module 210 is configured to: in response to a first selection operation on a target region of a table, select target content in the table, the target region being a partial region of the table, the target content being all content in the target region, a starting cursor of the first selection operation being located at a Pth row and a Qth column of the table, an ending cursor of the first selection operation being located at an Mth row and an Nth column of the table, the target region being the Qth column to the Nth column in the Pth row to the Mth row of the table, P and M being different, and the table being located in a picture, a PDF, a webpage or a content extraction interface.

[0198] As an optional implementation, the table further includes a table header, and in a case where the first selection operation does not select the table header of the table, the selection module 210 is further configured to: select the table header corresponding to the target content.

[0199] As an optional implementation, the data processing apparatus further includes a display module 220, and the display module 220 is configured to: in a case where the table is located in the content extraction interface, display a first interface before selecting the target content in the table in response to the first selection operation on the table content, the first interface including the target table.
