Document Editing With Embedded Calendar Event Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing document editing systems do not effectively display and manage events or tasks associated with specific time points within documents, limiting user experience and collaboration among multiple users.
Innovation Solution
Integrate a calendar function into document editing systems, allowing users to add and display target events at specific times, enabling visual representation of tasks and events within documents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a calendar function is integrated into document editing systems, then user experience and collaboration are enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the calendar function with the document editing system by integrating calendar components into the document interface. Users can add, edit, and view events directly within the document, combining document editing and calendar management into a single unified system, thereby enhancing user experience without requiring separate applications
Solution Approach 2:
The document editing system is designed to perform multiple functions including text editing, document viewing, and calendar event management. The calendar function shares the same interface and operational mechanisms as the document editing functions, allowing users to manage both documents and events within a single application, thus improving ease of operation
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users can view and edit documents simultaneously, then collaboration is improved, but conflicts over event management may arise
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements real-time feedback mechanisms that notify users when changes are made to calendar events or documents by other users. This allows collaborative users to see each other's changes immediately and adjust their own work accordingly, maintaining consistency and reducing conflicts in multi-user environments
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows users to set permissions and access levels in advance for document and calendar event management. By pre-defining who can view, edit, or delete specific events and documents, the system prevents conflicts before they arise and ensures consistent collaboration among multiple users

AI summary
A document editing method and apparatus, and an electronic device. The method comprises: in response to receiving an invoking request for a calendar function in a document, displaying a calendar in the document (101); in response to receiving a first adding request for adding a target event corresponding to target time to the calendar, adding the target event to the calendar (102); and displaying, in the document, a target calendar in which the target event is added (103). The target event can be displayed in the document by means of the target calendar, so that it is convenient for document editors or other users related to the document to intuitively see, when viewing the document, specific events that need to be executed at specific time points.
