Document Processing System for Centralized Reference Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing document processing systems do not efficiently display associated documents based on reference relationships, leading to difficulties in accessing and managing reference information.
Innovation Solution
A document processing method and apparatus that determine a target document and display associated documents based on their reference relationships, including documents that refer to the target document and those referred to by it, enhancing user efficiency in viewing and managing associated documents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If document reference relationships are tracked individually, then document associations are maintained, but user efficiency in accessing associated documents deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges scattered document references into a centralized display interface. When users view a target document, the system consolidates all associated documents (both those referencing the target and those the target references) into a single unified view, eliminating the need to manually search multiple locations for related documents.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary display interface that mediates between the target document and its associated documents. This intermediary layer automatically retrieves and organizes document information based on reference relationships, providing users with streamlined access without requiring direct navigation through complex document networks.
2Device complexity
If document information is displayed separately, then data structure is simple, but information completeness for reference management deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically identifying and retrieving all associated documents before the user needs them. When a target document is viewed, the system proactively gathers document information based on pre-established reference relationships, ensuring complete reference information is ready for display without requiring additional user searches.
3Device complexity
If manual document reference tracking is used, then system complexity is low, but time consumption for document management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically tracking and managing document reference relationships without requiring manual user intervention. The system autonomously identifies associated documents, retrieves their information, and presents them in an organized display, freeing users from time-consuming manual document management tasks while maintaining reasonable system complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
A document processing method and apparatus, and an electronic device are provided. The method comprises: determining a target document; and displaying document information of an associated document on the basis of an association relationship between the target document and the associated document, wherein the document information of the associated document comprises a first document having a first reference relationship with the target document, and/or a second document having a second reference relationship with the target document, the first reference relationship indicates that the associated document refers to the target document, and the second reference relationship indicates that the target document refers to the associated document.
