Document Table Group Fields for Fast Group Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems lack the ability to efficiently create and manage group fields in documents, limiting the functionality and flexibility in handling group-related data entries.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a method and apparatus that allows for creating a group field in a document table, associating target cells with groups, and enabling quick access to these groups through operation events, enhancing the types of fields and facilitating fast group navigation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional table fields are used in documents, then the document structure is simple and easy to maintain, but the functionality for managing group-related data is limited and inflexible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges document table fields with group management functionality by allowing table cells to be associated with groups. When a cell is associated with a group, operations on the cell can trigger group operations, combining document editing and group management into a unified system that enhances adaptability without significantly increasing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling table fields to serve dual purposes: traditional data storage and group management. The same table cell can function as both a data entry field and a group operation trigger, allowing one system to perform multiple functions including data management, group creation, and group operations
2Productivity
If group management functionality is added to document tables, then user interaction and efficiency in accessing group information is improved, but the complexity of field types and data management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing the association relationship between table cells and groups. Once associated, the cell automatically inherits group operations, eliminating the need for separate group management steps and improving access efficiency while keeping the implementation straightforward
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the table cell as an intermediary between the document system and group management system. The cell acts as a mediator that translates document editing operations into group operations, simplifying the interface for users while managing the complexity of coordinating between different systems

AI summary
The present invention provides an information processing method, and apparatus, a terminal, and a storage medium. The information processing method comprises: in response to a first operation event creating a group field in a target table of a first document; in response to a second operational event, associating a target cell corresponding to the group field with at least one target group; in response to a third operation event based on the target cell, opening or joining the target group; wherein the group field is a field with a field type of group. The present disclosure enriches the types of fields and enables fast jumping of groups.
