Portrait Table Display for Simultaneous Header and Content Viewing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inefficiencies in viewing data in online spreadsheets due to limited display content on user equipment, particularly when dealing with large amounts of data.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for displaying table information, where first information from a header row and second information from a target content row with the same column identifier are displayed in a portrait orientation, allowing users to view both simultaneously and improving data accessibility through row information display instructions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all data are displayed directly in a table region in online spreadsheet, then complete data information is provided, but the display content is limited by user equipment screen size resulting in lower viewing efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the table data into multiple portrait-oriented display regions, each showing a subset of rows with their corresponding header information. This allows the complete data to be divided into manageable portions that can be displayed simultaneously or sequentially, resolving the contradiction between showing all data and maintaining viewing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the traditional horizontal table display into a vertical portrait orientation, where header row information is displayed alongside content row information in a vertical stack. This dimensional change allows more information to fit within the limited screen space while maintaining data completeness and accessibility.
2Ease of operation
If traditional horizontal table display is used, then data structure is clear, but users need to scroll extensively to view both header and content rows simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the header row display with the content row display by showing both simultaneously in each portrait-oriented region. Users can view the relationship between headers and content without scrolling, as both are presented together in the vertical layout, eliminating the time loss from scrolling while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary organization of data into portrait-oriented units that contain both header and content information ready for display. This pre-arranged structure allows users to access any header-content pair immediately without needing to scroll through intermediate rows, saving time while maintaining operational simplicity.

AI summary
Provided are a method and apparatus for displaying table information, an electronic device and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The method for displaying table information includes: acquiring a row information display instruction of a target table, where the row information display instruction includes information of a target content row; and displaying, in a portrait orientation, first information in a header row of the target table and second information in the target content row according to the row information display instruction, where a cell in which the first information is located and a cell in which the second information is located have a same column identifier.
