Context-Aware Clipboard Pasting for Multi-Field Content Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current copy and paste operations on electronic devices are cumbersome and inefficient, particularly when selecting and pasting content across different applications or pages, leading to poor user experience due to the need for precise cursor adjustments and repetitive operations.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device extracts and processes clipboard content based on the copy and paste pages to provide relevant and error-corrected content as options, tailored to user intent and the specific input requirements of each page, reducing the need for manual selection and repetitive operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user manually selects and copies content using a cursor, then the user can control which content is copied, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming due to repeated cursor adjustments
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies and extracts relevant content from the source page without requiring manual user selection. The electronic device performs self-service by analyzing the copy page, understanding user intent, and automatically selecting appropriate content for copying, thereby eliminating the need for manual cursor operations
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the copy page and pre-identifies potential content that matches the paste scenario requirements before the user initiates the copy operation. This preliminary action allows the system to have content ready for copying, reducing the time needed during the actual copy operation
2Loss of information
If the user copies entire content from a source, then all information is available for pasting, but the user must delete unwanted parts manually which is inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the relevant and needed content from the source page based on the paste scenario and user intent analysis. Instead of copying entire content and then deleting unwanted parts, the electronic device intelligently extracts only the necessary information, improving paste preparation efficiency while maintaining content completeness
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from analyzing the paste page requirements and user behavior patterns to determine what content should be copied. By continuously learning from paste scenarios and user preferences, the system refines its content extraction accuracy, ensuring the right content is copied without manual intervention
3Quantity of substance
If the user needs to copy multiple spaced pieces of information, then all information can be captured in one copy, but the user must repeatedly switch between apps to paste each piece
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple scattered pieces of relevant information into a single unified paste operation. By analyzing the source page and identifying multiple relevant content elements, the electronic device combines them into one consolidated paste action, allowing the user to paste all information in a single operation rather than repeatedly switching between apps
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides a universal paste solution that adapts to different paste scenarios and multiple types of content. The electronic device creates a multi-functional paste capability that can handle various content types (text, images, links) and paste into different applications simultaneously, making the pasting operation versatile and efficient
4Adaptability or versatility
If the paste content is not tailored to the specific page requirements, then any content can be pasted, but the user experience deteriorates due to irrelevant content
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by tailoring the copied content specifically to the requirements of the target paste page. Instead of providing generic or universal content, the electronic device analyzes the paste page's input box type, expected content format, and contextual requirements to ensure the copied content is locally optimized for that specific destination, thereby improving user experience

AI summary
This application provides a clipboard content pasting method and a related apparatus. An electronic device may identify, based on a copy page and a paste page, a paste scenario and a user intent of performing copying and pasting by a user. Based on the paste scenario and the user intent, the electronic device may extract, from copied content, to-be-pasted content that meets the user intent and that matches an input box on the paste page. The electronic device may provide the to-be-pasted content on the paste page for the user to select and input the to-be-pasted content into the input box on the paste page. The foregoing method can effectively improve copying and pasting efficiency of the user, and improve copying and pasting experience of the user.
