Document Content Segmentation via Hyperlink Replacement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large documents become slow and cumbersome, making it difficult to access and manage content, especially when updated frequently, as older entries become less relevant but still need to be retained.
Innovation Solution
A method to select content from a rendered document, generate a new document with the selected content, and replace the original content with a link to the new document, allowing for efficient document size reduction without losing important information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the document continuously accumulates all entries throughout the year, then all historical content is preserved and accessible, but the document size increases and performance degrades
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the document into multiple segments or sections, where each segment can be independently managed. When the document becomes too large, users can split it into multiple smaller documents while maintaining links between related content, thus preserving historical information while improving performance of individual document segments
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested structure where documents can contain links to other documents or sections. This allows historical entries to be nested within or linked to the main document structure, preserving access to all content while keeping the primary document size manageable through hierarchical organization
2Productivity
If the document size is reduced by removing older entries, then document performance improves, but historical content becomes inaccessible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates copies or references to historical content rather than storing full duplicates. By using links, references, or pointers to older entries, the system maintains access to historical information while avoiding the performance degradation of storing redundant data in the main document
Solution Approach 2:
The patent moves historical content to a different dimensional space, such as external storage, separate document files, or a database structure. This allows the main document to remain lightweight while historical content remains accessible through cross-references or navigation mechanisms in another dimension of the storage hierarchy
3Ease of operation
If a shortcut is implemented to move selection into a new document, then document organization efficiency improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic features that reduce manual complexity. When creating new documents or splitting content, the system automatically manages links, updates references, and maintains relationships between documents without requiring users to manually configure complex connection structures, thus improving ease of operation while controlling system complexity
Data Source
AI summary
A computer implemented method that renders a document and receives a selection of a portion of the rendered document along with a linked document command from a user. The method prompts the user for a title for a new document for the selected portion. Creating a new document in response to receiving a title with the selected portion inserted into the new document. The method further includes replacing the selected portion with the title in the rendered document, with the title being a link to the new document.
