Solution Overview

Problem

Current document editing systems require users to delete and reinsert content when modifying online documents that contain content from other platforms, which is cumbersome and prone to errors.

Innovation Solution

A document editing method and apparatus that allows users to edit the description information of document insertion content, display a link editing page, acquire and update the target link address information, and subsequently update the document insertion content with the corresponding target content, all without deleting the original content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users delete and reinsert content to modify document insertion content, then the content can be updated, but the editing process becomes cumbersome and error-prone

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting convenienceVSAvoidediting process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the link address information from the document insertion content and stores it separately in a data structure (e.g., JSON object). This allows the content to be updated by simply replacing the link address without requiring deletion and reinsertion operations, thereby simplifying the editing process while maintaining content functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a copy of the link address information that can be independently modified. By storing the link address in a separate data structure, users can edit the link address without affecting the original document structure, enabling easy content updates through copying and pasting new link addresses rather than deleting and reinserting entire content blocks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If users delete and reinsert content to modify document insertion content, then the content can be updated, but the risk of errors increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent update reliabilityVSAvoidediting operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By extracting the link address information from the embedded content and storing it separately, the system eliminates the risk of errors associated with deleting and reinserting content. Users can simply update the link address in the separate data structure, ensuring reliable content updates without the potential pitfalls of content deletion and reinsertion operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system automatically retrieves and displays the updated content based on the new link address. This feedback loop ensures that content updates are reflected accurately in the document, reducing the risk of errors by providing immediate verification of the update process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If content from another content platform is inserted into the online document, then rich media resources can be integrated, but the content cannot be easily modified

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent integration capabilityVSAvoidcontent modification ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the link address information from the inserted content and stores it separately in the document's data structure. This allows content from external platforms to be integrated while maintaining easy modifiability, as users can update the link address without needing to delete and reinsert the content, thereby preserving both integration capability and modification ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal mechanism that works for content from different platforms by storing link addresses in a standardized data structure. This multi-functional approach allows the same editing mechanism to be applied to content from various sources, enabling easy modification while maintaining the versatility of integrating content from different content platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A document editing method includes: displaying a shared document page including content of a target shared document and description information of document insertion content. The target shared document and the document insertion content are from different content platforms. The method includes displaying a link editing page of the document insertion content in response to an editing operation on the description information of the document insertion content; acquiring target link address information edited through the link editing page; and updating the document insertion content to target content corresponding to the target link address information.
