Workflow System Shared Document Editing Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current online workflow systems lack effective collaboration tools, leading to inefficient workflow processing due to poor writing experiences and inability to facilitate simultaneous editing among multiple users.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for information processing that displays a shared document editing page in response to a workflow trigger, allowing multiple users to input and submit content, and transmitting the workflow to designated users, enhancing collaboration and automation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If online workflow is processed by users writing work contents and transmitting them online, then online transmission is implemented, but the writing experience is poor and collaboration among multiple people is impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the writing/editing functionality with workflow submission by integrating a rich text editor directly into the workflow submission interface. This allows users to both write and submit workflow contents in a unified environment, improving writing experience while maintaining collaboration capabilities through shared document access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a universal editing platform that supports multiple users to write, edit, and collaborate on workflow contents simultaneously. The system provides multi-functional capabilities including real-time editing, version control, and collaborative authoring, enabling both good writing experience and multi-user collaboration.
2Productivity
If traditional online workflow transmission is used, then transmission is achieved, but workflow processing efficiency is low due to lack of collaboration tools
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated workflow routing and notification systems that reduce manual intervention. The system automatically routes workflows to appropriate users, sends notifications, and tracks processing status, improving efficiency without requiring complex manual coordination mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a centralized workflow management system that acts as an intermediary between users and workflow processes. This mediator coordinates collaboration, manages document versions, and orchestrates workflow transmission, simplifying the overall system architecture while enabling efficient multi-user collaboration.

AI summary
Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a method, apparatus, device, and medium for information processing, wherein the method includes: in response to a trigger operation for a workflow type, displaying an editing page comprising a workflow identification and/or a workflow content, and the workflow content comprising a document, the document being a co-operable shared document; receiving, on the editing page, an edited content input by a predetermined user; and in response to a submission instruction for the workflow type, transmitting a corresponding workflow to a first user. Therefore, the application of collaboration of a plurality of parties in the workflow enhances the degree of automation and efficiency of workflow processing and satisfies the needs of a plurality of parties to interact in workflow processing.
