Solution Overview

Problem

The conventional method of manually processing electronic submissions into standard format documents is inefficient and prone to errors, leading to low efficiency and accuracy in document processing.

Innovation Solution

A document processing method and device that acquire a template with a hierarchical structure, generate folder labels, and match document labels to associate documents with corresponding folders, thereby automating the association process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual processing method is used to classify electronic submissions into folders, then flexibility and adaptability are maintained, but processing efficiency is low and error rate is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidaccuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical classification process with an automated computer-based system that uses label matching algorithms. The system automatically generates labels for documents and folders, matches them using similarity calculation, and performs classification without human intervention, thereby improving both efficiency and accuracy simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables documents to self-classify by automatically generating document labels based on document content analysis, comparing them with folder labels, and autonomously determining the appropriate folder for storage. This self-service mechanism eliminates manual processing while maintaining high accuracy through automated label matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Speed

If automated label matching is implemented, then processing speed increases, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the automated classification system into distinct functional modules: label generation module, label matching module, and document-folder association module. Each module performs a specific task, making the overall complex system manageable and maintainable while achieving high processing speed through specialized automated operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The label matching mechanism serves multiple functions: it compares document labels with folder labels, calculates similarity degrees, determines matching results, and guides document classification. This multi-functional approach reduces the need for separate complex systems while maintaining high processing speed.

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

AI summary

A document processing method and device are provided. The method includes: acquiring a template of a standard format document, the template including folders having a hierarchical structure, generating folder labels corresponding to the folders on the basis of the folders, acquiring a document to be processed, generating a document label of the document to be processed on the basis of the document to be processed, determining whether there is a folder label matched with the document label of the document to be processed, and associating the document to be processed with the folder corresponding to the matched folder label in a case that there is the folder label.
