Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in accessing and operating on associated information of words in documents, as existing systems fail to effectively extract and display such information during the editing process.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for document processing that extracts keywords from user operations, searches a preset database for associated information, and displays prompt information to facilitate operations on that information, including modes and areas for interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If associated information is stored in a database for later retrieval, then information completeness is improved, but user awareness and accessibility of the information deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassociated informationVSAvoiduser awareness
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary extraction of associated information from the document content and stores it in a database before the user needs it. When the user selects a word, the system quickly retrieves the pre-extracted associated information from the database and displays it, avoiding the need for real-time extraction and improving both information availability and user awareness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary database that stores pre-extracted associated information between the document content and the user interface. This intermediary layer allows the system to prepare information in advance and present it to users on demand, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and user accessibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If associated information is displayed to users, then information accessibility is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential associated information from the document content and stores it in a simplified format in the database. When displaying to users, it presents only the most relevant information (such as entity names and basic relationships) rather than all possible data, reducing system complexity while maintaining accessibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the associated information into different levels of detail and displays them hierarchically. The primary display shows essential information directly, while more detailed information can be accessed through additional user interactions, reducing the initial display complexity while maintaining comprehensive accessibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If the system extracts and displays associated information in real-time during editing, then user productivity is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser productivityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts associated information from the document content in advance and stores it in a database before the user editing process begins. During editing, when users select words, the system performs quick lookups in the pre-prepared database rather than extracting information in real-time, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system combines the information extraction and storage operations into a single preprocessing step that occurs before user interaction. This merging of operations allows the system to perform comprehensive extraction once, then serve multiple user queries efficiently from the stored data, improving productivity without proportionally increasing processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A document processing method, apparatus, and device, and a medium are provided. The method comprises: in response to an operation performed by a user on a current document, extracting a keyword from document content of the current document; determining associated information corresponding to the keyword by performing searching in a preset database based on the keyword; and displaying prompt information, wherein the prompt information is configured to indicate information related to the associated information.
