Data Block Reference Updates for Reliable Online Document Editing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing real-time referencing functions in online document technologies often result in the loss of referenced content when users perform operations like moving or dragging, leading to inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for controlling data blocks that maintain reference relationships by updating these relationships based on operations such as inserting, deleting, or moving sub-data blocks, ensuring synchronized updates across documents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If real-time referencing function is implemented in online documents, then document utilization rate is improved, but referenced content may be lost during operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors operations on data blocks and automatically updates reference relationships. When a user performs operations like moving or dragging data blocks, the system detects these changes and adjusts the reference relationships accordingly, ensuring referenced content remains synchronized and intact across all documents that reference it.
Solution Approach 2:
The reference relationship system is designed to be dynamic rather than static. It automatically adapts when data blocks are moved, inserted, deleted, or replaced by updating the reference relationships in real-time. This dynamic adjustment mechanism ensures that referenced content maintains its integrity and correctness even as the document structure changes.
2Ease of operation
If data block operations (inserting, deleting, moving, replacing) are performed, then document editing flexibility is improved, but reference relationship accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system proactively updates reference relationships immediately when data block operations are detected, rather than waiting for potential errors to occur. By performing the update action in advance and automatically, the system prevents reference relationship inaccuracies before they can affect document integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The reference relationship management system operates autonomously without requiring user intervention. When users perform data block operations, the system automatically detects the changes and updates the reference relationships itself, freeing users from manual management while ensuring accuracy is maintained through automated tracking and adjustment.

AI summary
A method, an apparatus and a system for controlling a data block, an electronic device, and a storage medium is provided. The method includes, receiving a target operation being performed on a first data block in a first document, the first data block having a reference relationship with a second document and the target operation including inserting, deleting, moving or replacing a sub-data block under the first data block; and updating the reference relationship between at least one data block in the first document and the second document on the basis of the target operation.
