Solution Overview

Problem

Existing document sharing technologies limit prompt information display to the meeting client, restricting its applicability and failing to meet user requirements when documents are shared in a browser.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that extend prompt information display to the browser by comparing attribute information of a document being viewed in the browser with a shared document in a meeting client, and displaying prompt information when a matching condition is met, allowing users to return to the meeting client for coordinated browsing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If prompt information display is limited to the meeting client only, then the system complexity is reduced, but the adaptability and user experience are worsened when documents are shared in a browser

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server is designed to handle multiple functions: it receives attribute information from both meeting clients and browsers, compares document attributes across different platforms, and sends prompt information to various clients. This multi-functional design allows the system to support both meeting client-only sharing and browser-based sharing without requiring separate systems, thus improving adaptability while managing complexity through a centralized universal platform

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary between meeting clients and browsers. It receives attribute information from browsers, compares it with document information from meeting clients, and coordinates prompt information distribution. This intermediary role enables seamless integration between different platforms (meeting client and browser) without direct complex interactions between them, improving adaptability while the server manages the complexity centrally

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If prompt information is displayed in the browser, then the user experience and browsing efficiency are improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional comparison and coordination mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrowsing efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by having the meeting client send document attribute information to the server in advance before the browser needs to display the document. This pre-positioning of attribute information allows the server to quickly compare and determine whether prompt information should be displayed in the browser, improving browsing efficiency while the complexity of the comparison mechanism is managed through this preparatory step

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The browser independently receives and displays prompt information based on server instructions without requiring complex local comparison mechanisms. The browser's role is simplified to receiving attribute information, sending it to the server, and displaying received prompt information, thus improving browsing efficiency while keeping the browser's device complexity low by relying on the server for the complex comparison logic

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention relates to a prompt method and apparatus based on document sharing, a device, and a medium. The method comprises: receiving a display trigger operation of displaying a first document in a browser; sending attribute information of the first document to a server, the server being used for comparing the attribute information of the first document with attribute information of a second document, and sending preset prompt information to the browser when determining, according to a comparison result, that a prompt condition is satisfied, and the second document being a shared document that is actively shared by a meeting client in a real-time meeting interface; and receiving the preset prompt information, and displaying the preset prompt information while displaying the first document in the browser.
