Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing online document processing systems lack the ability to automatically execute specific processing flows based on trigger conditions, limiting the automation of functions and enrichment of field types within online documents.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that generate a target button field in a cell of an online document's table in response to an operation event, where the button field is associated with a trigger condition, and executes a corresponding processing flow when the trigger condition is satisfied, enhancing automation and functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional online document fields are used, then the document structure is simple and easy to implement, but the field types are limited and automation functions are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a button field that can serve multiple purposes: it can be a simple display element or trigger complex processing flows with conditions, subflows, and actions. This single field type replaces the need for multiple specialized field types, enhancing versatility while maintaining system simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The button field is designed to be dynamic in nature - it can transition from a static display element to an active trigger for processing flows. The field's behavior changes based on configuration, allowing it to adapt to different functional requirements without requiring separate fixed field types for each function.
2Extent of automation
If manual processing flows are used, then the system implementation is straightforward, but the automation level is low and user interaction is repetitive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements processing flows that are pre-configured with conditions, subflows, and actions. When a button field is triggered, these pre-prepared flows execute automatically, eliminating the need for users to manually perform repetitive tasks and significantly increasing automation level.
Solution Approach 2:
The button field mechanism provides feedback loops where processing flows can include conditions that evaluate current state and subflows that can modify it. This creates automated feedback mechanisms that reduce manual intervention while maintaining ease of operation through intuitive button interactions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If basic field types are used in online documents, then the implementation is simple, but the functional enrichment is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The button field serves as a universal element that can trigger various processing flows with different conditions and actions. This single field type replaces multiple specialized field types, enriching functionality while keeping the field structure simple and unified.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing flow associated with the button field is segmented into conditions, subflows, and actions. This segmentation allows complex functionality to be built from simple, manageable components, enabling functional enrichment without increasing overall system complexity.
