Table Cell Link Processing for Automated File Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems face inefficiencies when handling links in tables, as users must manually download and input target files pointed by links, leading to reduced user efficiency and potential security and accessibility issues.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for processing information that determines fields in a table in response to operation events, obtaining and displaying target files pointed by links in cells, and storing these files as attachments, thereby improving user efficiency and security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users manually download and input target files one by one, then file processing can be completed, but user efficiency is reduced and time is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual file download and input operations into a single batch processing operation. The system automatically retrieves all target files pointed to by links in the table and writes them into the table in one operation, eliminating the need for users to manually download and input each file separately, thus significantly improving user efficiency and reducing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically obtaining target files and writing them into the table without requiring manual user intervention. The automated batch processing mechanism handles the entire file retrieval and insertion process independently, freeing users from repetitive manual tasks and improving overall productivity.
2Reliability
If target files are stored externally via links, then file accessibility is maintained, but security risks increase and user effort increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces the table structure as an intermediary between external links and file storage. Instead of directly storing files externally or requiring manual user handling, the system uses the table's attachment field as a mediator to automatically retrieve and store target files within the table structure, thereby improving security while reducing user effort.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically handles file retrieval and storage without requiring users to manually download and input files. This self-service mechanism not only reduces user effort but also enhances security by centralizing file management within the secure table environment, eliminating the need for users to handle external files manually.

AI summary
The disclosure provides a method and apparatus for processing information, an electronic device and a storage medium. The method for processing information includes: determining a first field in a first table in response to a first operation event, where the first field corresponds to one or more first cells, and the one or more first cells have links recorded therein; determining a second field in the first table in response to a second operation event, where the second field corresponds to one or more second cells; and obtaining, in response to a third operation event, a target file pointed to by a link in a first cell corresponding to the first field, and displaying the target file in a second cell corresponding to the first cell.
