Solution Overview

Problem

Current database products lack the ability to convert specific areas in a table into Gantt charts, albums, or boards, failing to meet users' diverse needs for data visualization.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for table data displaying that allows users to select and highlight data on an original table page and then convert it into different display modes, such as board views, album views, or Gantt chart views, upon triggering specific conversion components.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If table data is displayed in a traditional table format, then data structure and storage are simple, but user experience and data visualization capability are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata display modeVSAvoiddisplay system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic display mode conversion where the same table data can be rendered in different formats (table view, board view, album view, Gantt chart view) based on user selection. The system dynamically transforms the data presentation without changing the underlying data structure, resolving the contradiction between display versatility and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal display system where a single table data structure serves multiple display purposes. By introducing conversion components that can transform data into different visual formats, the system achieves multi-functionality without requiring separate data structures for each display type, thus maintaining simplicity while enhancing adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If multiple display modes are added to meet diverse user needs, then user experience improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidconversion system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the conversion logic into separate conversion components (first conversion component for board view, second for album view, third for Gantt chart view). Each component independently handles a specific display transformation, making the system modular and easier to manage. This extraction approach improves user experience by providing multiple display modes while controlling complexity through component separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the display conversion process into distinct functional modules. Instead of implementing all display modes in a monolithic system, the conversion capabilities are divided into separate components that can be independently activated. This segmentation reduces the perceived system complexity while maintaining ease of operation through multiple display options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If table data is converted to different views, then data visualization capability improves, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata visualizationVSAvoiddata processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary data organization by maintaining a standardized table data structure as the foundation. The conversion components then build upon this pre-organized data rather than processing raw data from scratch for each display mode. This preliminary structuring simplifies the data processing complexity while enabling versatile visualization through the conversion components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a method, apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium of table data displaying. The method comprises: in response to a selection operation on at least part of table data on an original table page, highlighting selected table data on the original table page; and in response to a trigger operation on a target conversion component, displaying the selected table data in a target display mode on a target table page, wherein the target display mode is related to the target conversion component. In this way, the present disclosure can diversify the data display modes and meet different users' needs.
