Content Block Linking for Direct Reference Viewing in Documents
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing document processing systems require users to jump between pages to access referenced content, leading to inefficiencies in viewing and managing collaborative documents, and lack effective methods for synchronous document updates across multiple users.
Innovation Solution
Implementing connection identifiers between content blocks within a page to allow direct viewing of referenced content without page jumps, and using document version identifiers to synchronize document updates across client devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a link of another page is embedded into one page to access another page, then the association between page contents is enhanced, but it is inconvenient to search and view reference content in another page
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces connection identifiers as intermediary elements that mediate between content blocks on different pages. Instead of embedding full page links, the system uses compact connection identifiers that point to specific content blocks, enabling direct navigation to reference content without loading entire pages, thus improving both association and ease of viewing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to page content navigation by implementing cross-page content block connections. This allows users to navigate between specific content blocks across different pages rather than navigating between entire pages, creating a finer-grained navigation dimension that improves reference content accessibility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users view and edit documents collaboratively online, then cooperative office requirement is met, but server monitoring pressure increases for synchronous document updates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments document monitoring into content block-level operations. Instead of monitoring entire documents, the system divides documents into content blocks and tracks changes at this granular level. This segmentation allows the server to monitor only specific modified content blocks rather than entire documents, reducing monitoring pressure while supporting collaborative editing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality monitoring where the server focuses computational resources on monitoring and synchronizing only the specific content blocks that have been modified, rather than uniformly monitoring entire documents. This approach optimizes server resource allocation by applying monitoring intensity locally where changes occur.
3Ease of operation
If connection identifiers are displayed at associated positions of content blocks, then direct viewing of referenced content is enabled, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying to simplify connection identifier management. Instead of implementing complex direct referencing mechanisms, the system creates simplified connection identifier copies that represent content block relationships. These identifiers are displayed at associated positions and can be triggered to directly view referenced content, reducing operational complexity while maintaining functionality.
Data Source
AI summary
A page content processing method, apparatus and device, and a readable medium are provided. The method comprises: in response to a connection operation of a target content block in a current page, determining a connection content block of the target content block; and at an associated location of one of the target content block and the connection content block, displaying a connection identifier of the other content block, so as to view the other content block by using the connection identifier. Also provided are a document synchronization method, apparatus and device, a medium, a tree structure-based document processing method, apparatus and device, and a medium.
