Document Hierarchical Structure Management via Indicator Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managing hierarchical document structures during creation and editing is complex due to changes such as adding or removing elements, which can impact other parts of the document, complicating the editing process.
Innovation Solution
A method to identify and determine hierarchical levels within a document by interpreting indicators such as prefixes, stems, and suffixes, and associating document portions with these levels, allowing for dynamic updating of the structure and formatting based on user requests.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a hierarchical structure is used to organize document sections, then comprehension and internal cross-referencing are improved, but management of the hierarchical structure during creation and editing becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects hierarchical indicators in the document and generates the hierarchical structure without requiring manual configuration. The processor autonomously identifies indicators, determines hierarchical levels, and associates portions with levels, eliminating the need for users to manually manage the complex hierarchical structure while preserving comprehension benefits
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of hierarchical level association dynamically based on detected indicators. By interpreting indicators and determining hierarchical levels automatically, the system adapts the document structure parameters without manual intervention, resolving the contradiction between maintaining clear hierarchy and avoiding management complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If elements are added, removed, or moved within the hierarchical structure, then the document can be updated and edited, but impacted portions of the document must be updated which complicates the editing process
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes feedback mechanisms where changes to hierarchical indicators automatically trigger updates to associated document portions. When an indicator is modified, the processor detects this change and propagates updates to all associated portions, ensuring consistency while simplifying the editing process through automated feedback loops
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary association of document portions with hierarchical levels before editing occurs. By pre-establishing these associations based on detected indicators, the system prepares the document structure so that subsequent edits automatically trigger appropriate updates without requiring manual intervention during the editing process
Data Source
AI summary
A method and computing system are provided for determining a hierarchical structure associated with a document. The hierarchical structure may be associated with a plurality of elements of the document. A map of the document may be generated. The map may include a plurality of links to one or more of the elements of the document.
