Online Document Display in Instant Messaging Framework
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for combining online documents and instant messaging result in long waiting times for users when viewing or editing documents, as they need to switch between applications, and users miss notification messages, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that display online documents within an instant messaging window, allowing users to receive notifications and interact with documents without leaving the messaging interface by generating a notification message and acquiring a target link address to display the document directly in the messaging window, integrated with the messaging framework.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users jump to a browser to view or edit online documents, then document viewing and editing functionality is achieved, but user waiting time increases and users cannot access IM notification messages
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the online document viewing and editing functionality with the instant messaging application by integrating a webview component into the IM interface. This allows the document container to load and display online documents directly within the IM window, eliminating the need to switch to a separate browser application and thereby reducing user waiting time while maintaining full document accessibility
2Ease of operation
If users jump to a browser to view or edit online documents, then document viewing and editing functionality is achieved, but users miss notification messages, leading to poor user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the IM notification system with the online document interface by integrating the document container within the IM application framework. Users can receive and view IM notification messages while simultaneously viewing and editing online documents in the same interface, preventing any loss of notification information and maintaining continuous awareness of communication updates
3Reliability
If online documents are displayed in a separate browser, then document functionality is complete, but application switching is required, reducing efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates a webview component into the instant messaging application, allowing the online document container to load and execute complete document functionality (viewing, editing, formatting) directly within the IM interface. This merger eliminates the need for application switching while preserving full document capabilities, thereby significantly improving user efficiency and productivity

AI summary
Provided are a method and apparatus for displaying an online document, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method for displaying an online document includes, in response to receiving an interactive instruction for a first user through the online document, generating an online document notification message in the instant messaging session list of the first user, where the interactive instruction includes that a second user mentions the first user or that the second user mentions the content published by the first user in the online document; in response to receiving an instruction triggering the online document notification message, acquiring a target link address; and jumping to the target link address in an instant messaging window through a document container and displaying the online document in the instant messaging window, where the document container is integrated into an instant messaging framework.
