Unified Document Template Attribute Creation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when creating new documents from templates due to the separation of document and template functions, leading to inefficient management and usage, as they need to remember multiple storage paths and manually copy documents.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and apparatus that allows a document to be both a document and a template, enabling users to add a document template attribute with a single operation, thereby integrating user paths and eliminating the need to manually save or copy documents, allowing direct creation of new documents from existing ones.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If document and template functions are separated into different file types and storage paths, then document management and template management can be independently organized, but users need to remember multiple storage paths and manually copy documents, increasing operational complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges document and template functions into a unified system where a single file can serve both purposes. By adding a template attribute to existing documents, the system eliminates the need for separate storage paths and manual copying operations, allowing users to create templates directly from documents within the same interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling files to simultaneously function as both documents and templates. The template attribute allows a single file type to fulfill multiple roles, eliminating the distinction between document-specific and template-specific file types and simplifying user operations.
2Reliability
If users manually copy documents to create templates, then template creation is possible, but the process requires additional steps and time, reducing productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining template attributes and structures within the document system. When users need to create a template, the system already has the necessary framework in place, requiring only the addition of a template attribute rather than manual copying and restructuring of document contents.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements an automated copying mechanism where the template attribute enables direct replication of document structures and contents into templates without manual intervention. This automated copying process maintains reliability while significantly improving productivity by eliminating manual copy operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple file types are used for documents and templates, then function-specific management is achieved, but users need to remember different storage paths and operations, increasing memory burden
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reduces memory burden by implementing universal file handling where the same file type can serve as both document and template. The template attribute provides the necessary function-specific management capability without requiring users to remember different storage paths or file type distinctions.
