Document Browsing State Restoration for Seamless Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing document sharing methods in video conferences result in poor user experience due to document jumps, requiring manual adjustment of the reading position after switching documents, which disrupts the continuity of the browsing process.
Innovation Solution
A document display method that determines the existence of historical browsing status data for a target document based on an identifier in the access request, allowing the display to be controlled according to this data, thereby restoring the document to its previous browsing status.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If document sharing is implemented in video conferences, then users can share and browse documents together, but the browsing continuity is disrupted when switching between documents
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-fetches and caches browsing status data (such as scroll position, highlighted text, and selection state) before the user actually switches documents. When a user navigates from document A to document B, the system has already prepared the browsing status data for document B in the background, enabling seamless restoration of the browsing state without interruption or manual adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and maintains copies of browsing status data for multiple documents simultaneously. Instead of losing the browsing state when switching documents, the system preserves copies of the browsing status (including scroll position, selected text, and viewing state) for each document, allowing users to resume exactly where they left off when returning to any previously viewed document.
2Device complexity
If manual adjustment of reading position is required after document switching, then document sharing functionality is simple to implement, but user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages the restoration of browsing status without requiring user intervention. When a user switches between documents, the system autonomously detects the transition, retrieves the cached browsing status data for the target document, and restores the viewing state (scroll position, selected text, etc.) automatically, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and providing a seamless experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where browsing status changes in one document are automatically detected and used to restore the appropriate state when switching to another document. The system continuously monitors browsing status updates and uses this feedback information to maintain browsing continuity across document transitions, creating a responsive and intuitive user experience.
Data Source
AI summary
The present application discloses a document display method and a device related thereto. The method comprises after receiving a first access request triggered by a first user on a first document, determining whether historical browsing status data of a second document exists based on an identifier to be used carried in the first access request for uniquely identifying the second document, controlling a display of the second document based on the identifier to be used and the historical browsing status data of the second document when it is determined that the historical browsing status data of the second document exists, such that the second document can be displayed based on a browsing status recorded by the historical browsing status data, and the second document being displayed can be restored to the browsing status presented by the second document when the second document was displayed at the last time.
