Electronic Document Page Insertion via Unified Preview Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current document editing software is cumbersome and time-consuming when inserting or replacing discontinuous pages from one electronic document into another, requiring complex user operations across multiple interfaces.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a user interface with input and preview regions to easily select and modify page positions, allowing for efficient insertion or replacement of pages from one electronic document with pages from another by determining page change positions and adding or replacing pages based on user inputs and operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If discontinuous pages are selected through multiple user operation interfaces, then pages can be inserted or replaced, but the operation process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate user operation interfaces into a single integrated interface. This unified interface allows users to simultaneously perform page selection, position specification, and insertion operations without switching between multiple interfaces, thereby reducing operational complexity while maintaining full page editing functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The unified user operation interface serves multiple functions: displaying source document pages, displaying target document pages, allowing page selection, specifying insertion positions, and executing insertion operations. This multi-functional interface eliminates the need for separate interfaces for each operation step
2Measurement precision
If multiple separate interfaces are used for page selection and insertion, then precise page control is achieved, but the time required for operation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The unified interface displays both source and target document pages simultaneously, allowing users to pre-identify and select the pages to be inserted and their target positions before executing the insertion operation. This preliminary visualization eliminates the need for multiple sequential interface interactions
Solution Approach 2:
By combining page display, selection, and position specification functions into a single interface view, the system allows users to accurately identify page positions and insertion points without navigating through multiple interfaces, thereby maintaining precision while reducing operation time
