Solution Overview

Problem

Existing document application programs require users to manually enter stem information for each question, leading to low efficiency in creating collection forms, as they need to perform multiple transformations and processing operations, which occupies significant terminal resources.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that displays an import window in response to a trigger event, allowing users to enter text content once to automatically generate a questionnaire form with multiple questions through parsing, reducing the need for separate transformations and improving resource efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually enter stem information for each question in document application programs, then question generation can be performed through transformation, but the creation efficiency of collection forms is low and terminal resources are significantly occupied

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequestionnaire form creation efficiencyVSAvoidtime for manual entry and transformation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the text content into multiple questions through automatic parsing. The text entry interface receives continuous text content, which is then automatically divided into individual questions based on parsing rules and patterns, eliminating the need for manual entry of each question stem information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a text entry interface as an intermediary between the user and the question generation process. Instead of directly transforming manually entered stem information, the system uses this interface to receive bulk text content and automatically generates multiple questions, reducing the transformation workload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Extent of automation

If document application programs perform multiple transformations and processing operations on entered stem information, then questions can be generated, but terminal resources are significantly occupied

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic question generationVSAvoidterminal resource occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary parsing on the text content to identify and extract questions before the actual question generation process. By pre-processing the text to recognize question patterns, boundaries, and structures, the system reduces the complexity and resource requirements of subsequent transformation operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
