Electronic Worksheet Reference Object Data Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Presenters face challenges in organizing and displaying information from multiple objects in a structured manner during business meetings and presentations, with paper copies being inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
An electronic worksheet system with an object display area and an object storage clip, allowing objects to be attached and displayed, where a reference object with a specific parameter determines the data displayed, enabling easy organization and presentation of information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If paper copies of presentations are provided to users, then information can be distributed to multiple users, but convenience and interactivity are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses electronic copies of presentations and objects that can be dynamically displayed and modified, replacing physical paper copies. The electronic worksheet allows multiple users to access and interact with the same presentation data without distributing physical copies, thereby improving convenience while maintaining information availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic worksheet enables dynamic display of objects and data that can be modified, rearranged, and updated in real-time. This dynamic nature allows users to interact with the presentation material more conveniently compared to static paper copies, while the system maintains the ability to distribute information to multiple users simultaneously.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple objects are displayed together, then comprehensive information can be presented, but organization and clarity are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the presentation into distinct objects that can be independently displayed, attached, and organized on the electronic worksheet. Each object can be separately managed while contributing to the overall presentation, making it easier to organize comprehensive information without sacrificing clarity.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic worksheet allows objects to be nested within a hierarchical structure where related objects can be grouped together. This nesting capability enables comprehensive information to be presented in an organized manner, with sub-elements nested within parent elements, improving both completeness and organization.
3Adaptability or versatility
If data is displayed without reference to specific objects, then general information can be shown, but relevance and specificity are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces reference objects as intermediaries that link general data to specific contexts. When an object is attached to the electronic worksheet, it serves as a reference that determines which data is displayed and how it is displayed. This intermediary mechanism maintains data relevance while preserving the flexibility to display different data based on the attached reference object.

AI summary
The present description refers to a method, apparatus and computer-readable storage medium for displaying an electronic worksheet that includes an object display area to display one or more objects and an object storage clip for attaching one or more objects in an object stack, attaching a first reference object to the object storage clip, the first reference object including a first reference parameter, and displaying a first information object in the object display area, where data displayed by the first information object is specific to the first reference parameter of the first reference object attached to the object storage clip.
