Solution Overview

Problem

Existing audio/video conferencing systems require complex and lengthy processes to navigate embedded document links within shared documents, disrupting the flow of presentations.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allows simultaneous access to both the current and target documents by obtaining a target document address through a shortcut operation on the embedded link in the real-time interactive interface, enabling quick page jumping between documents.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a user clicks on an embedded document link in a shared document during an audio/video conference, then the target document can be opened, but the current document display is interrupted and the presentation flow is disrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedocument link accessVSAvoidpresentation continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a new spatial dimension for document display by implementing a slide overview window that overlays the current presentation. When a user activates the slide overview function, the current document is minimized or moved to the background, and a new window displaying an overview of all slides is presented in the foreground. This dimensional transition allows users to navigate between documents and slides without completely interrupting the presentation flow, as the original document remains accessible in the background while the overview provides quick navigation capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If the overall links embedded in shared documents are opened using conventional methods, then the target document can be accessed, but the process becomes long and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelink opening processVSAvoiddocument navigation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-generating and displaying slide thumbnails and overview information before the user needs to navigate to a specific slide or document section. The slide overview window is prepared in advance, showing all available slides and their content previews. When a user activates this function, they can immediately see the complete structure and jump to any slide without going through multiple intermediate steps, thus reducing navigation time and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces the slide overview window as an intermediary between the current document view and the target document content. Instead of directly opening the target document which would interrupt the presentation, the slide overview serves as a mediator that allows users to preview, select, and navigate to target content in a controlled manner. This intermediary layer simplifies the navigation process by providing a visual map of all slides and enabling quick selection without complex operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Disclosed in embodiments of the present disclosure are a page jumping method, apparatus, and device. The method comprises: in response to a first operation on a target document link in a real-time interaction interface, acquiring a target document address corresponding to the target document link, the target document link being nested in a current document, and the current document being a shared document displayed in the real-time interaction interface; and presenting the current document in the real-time interaction interface, and displaying the target document on the basis of the target document address. According to the technical solution provided by the present disclosure, in an audio/video conference, a sharer and a sharee can quickly operate the link of the target document to quickly open the link nested in the current document, such that a user can conveniently and simultaneously access the current shared document and the target document.
