WYSIWYG Editor With Continuous Coordinate System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current online document generation tools lack flexibility and freedom in content layout design, requiring programming skills and are not capable of supporting content overlaps or responsive designs across various devices, making it difficult for ordinary users to create high-quality, dynamic, and 3D content without technical expertise.
Innovation Solution
A true WYSIWYG editor system that uses a continuous coordinate system to allow users to place content anywhere within a document, including overlapping, and includes a Content Management System for formatting and 3D transformations, enabling users to create online documents with advanced functionality without programming skills.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional document generation tools are used, then basic document creation is possible, but layout flexibility and freedom are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The document is divided into independent content objects that can be individually positioned, sized, and styled. Each content object acts as a separate entity that can be manipulated independently, enabling flexible layouts without requiring complex programming.
Solution Approach 2:
A continuous coordinate system serves as an intermediary between the user's design intentions and the final document output. This coordinate system translates user actions into precise positioning commands, enabling WYSIWYG editing without requiring users to understand underlying programming concepts.
2Ease of manufacture
If programming skills are required for document generation, then sophisticated layouts and functionality can be achieved, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service capabilities through drag-and-drop functionality and automatic coordinate system management. Users can directly manipulate content objects on the canvas without needing to write code or understand programming languages, yet still achieve sophisticated layouts.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical programming system with a graphical user interface-based system. Instead of requiring users to write and execute code, the system uses visual elements, drag-and-drop operations, and automatic coordinate translation to achieve the same functional results.
3Measurement precision
If content objects are placed using traditional methods, then basic positioning is possible, but total freedom and precision in placement is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical positioning methods with a continuous coordinate system that automatically calculates and maintains precise positions. Users simply drag and drop content objects, and the system handles the complex coordinate mathematics behind the scenes to achieve exact positioning.
4Shape
If 3D content transformations are implemented, then visual quality and interactivity improve, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
3D content is segmented into individual transformable objects that can be independently manipulated. Each 3D element maintains its own transformation properties, allowing complex 3D effects to be achieved through composition of simpler individual transformations rather than requiring a single complex system.

AI summary
A method and system facilitate online document generation and publication in true What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get fashion without requiring any programming or computer engineering skills. The online document may be a full website with any functions demanded including 3D features. They system includes a graphical user interface module configured to display on a user device display a document on a working area for display to other users over a network and to display tools for a user to manipulate the document, and further configured to receive user input via the user device display, wherein the tools displayed include one or more content objects configured to be placed in a desired location in the document on the working area, and a coordinate system module configured to track absolute positions of the content objects placed in the document on the working area, the coordinates including horizontal position, vertical position, and layer.
