Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for commenting on document content do not effectively diffuse and extend comment information, limiting users to replying within the document, which is inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for information processing that create and publish comment information from a content interface to a separate discussion interface, allowing associated users to view and interact with comments without entering the document.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If comment information is confined to the document interface, then the document structure remains simple, but information diffusion and user interaction are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation diffusion capabilityVSAvoidinterface structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the comment system into two separate interfaces: the document interface for viewing and the discussion interface for interaction. This segmentation allows comment information to be diffused independently from the document structure, enhancing information diffusion capability while maintaining clear functional boundaries in each interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions comment interaction from a single-dimensional document view to a multi-dimensional system by introducing a separate discussion interface. This dimensional change enables users to interact with comments in a dedicated space, improving information diffusion and user engagement without complicating the original document structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If users must enter the document to view comments, then comment context is preserved, but user efficiency and accessibility are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction efficiencyVSAvoidcomment context
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a discussion interface as an intermediary between the document and users. This intermediary presents comment information in a dedicated space, allowing users to interact efficiently with comments without entering the document, while still maintaining access to comment context through the intermediary's presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If comment information is published to a separate interface, then information diffusion is enhanced, but synchronization between interfaces becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidinterface synchronization
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the discussion interface receives and displays comment information published from the document interface. This feedback loop ensures that comment data flows smoothly between interfaces, enhancing information accessibility while managing synchronization through structured data exchange and update mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The disclosure provides a method, apparatus, terminal and storage medium for information processing. The method of information processing includes: in response to a first operation event on a first content in a content interface of a first document, creating first comment information of the first content in the content interface, and publishing the first comment information to a discussion interface, wherein the content interface and the discussion interface are different interfaces, and the discussion interface is configured to display information published by a current user and an associated user of the current user.
