E-book Note Merging via Proximity Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
E-book reading experiences fragmentation and inefficiency in note content management, leading to cumbersome note organization and reduced learning efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method is introduced that displays note combination options during e-book reading, allowing users to select and combine current and target character content based on positional relationships, generating a combined note content that improves relevance and operability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If users create multiple separate notes during e-book reading, then note content coverage increases, but note organization complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate notes into a single integrated note by detecting proximity between notes and automatically merging their content. This reduces the number of separate notes from multiple to one unified note, decreasing organizational complexity while preserving comprehensive content coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection of note proximity and automatically merges notes before the user needs to organize them. By proactively combining notes based on their spatial relationship in the e-book, the system eliminates the need for manual organization later, reducing time consumption and complexity.
2Reliability
If users manually organize and collate notes after reading, then note relevance improves, but time consumption and operational burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic note merging based on detected proximity relationships between notes and the e-book content. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual note organization by the user, maintaining high note relevance through automated spatial analysis while completely eliminating the time and effort required for secondary collation.
3Loss of information
If users create detailed notes for each reading segment, then learning completeness improves, but note management efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple detailed notes created during reading into a single comprehensive note by detecting their proximity relationships. This preserves all the detailed learning content from each reading segment while consolidating it into one manageable note, thereby maintaining learning completeness while significantly improving note management efficiency.

AI summary
Provided are a method of generating a note, an electronic device, and a storage medium, which relate to a field of artificial intelligence, and in particular to fields of information processing and e-book technology. The method includes: displaying, in a process of displaying an e-book reading page, at least one note combination option for a first note generation instruction, in response to the first note generation instruction being detected; determining a second note generation instruction associated with a target note combination option, in response to an operation of selecting the target note combination option from the at least one note combination option; and combining a current character content associated with the first note generation instruction with a target character content associated with the second note generation instruction, so as to generate a combined note content.
