Background

The employees in the enterprise can generate a large amount of electronic documents including various files and data during the work, which are important information resources and intellectual achievements of the enterprise, so that the document management is more and more emphasized. Enterprises typically have specialized servers or systems for storing various types of documents. Compared with the traditional local document editing mode by the local user, the document in the server is often edited by multiple users in a cooperation mode, for example, multiple employees edit a department business summary online, multiple users log personal information in a registry, and the like.

When a plurality of users edit a collaborative document, the users can usually perform operations such as arbitrary addition, deletion or modification in the collaborative document, and when the information is asymmetric among the users, the edited content of the whole document is easily confused, and the preservation of important information in the document is not facilitated. In addition, collaborative documents cannot support multiple users to edit simultaneously, and when one user edits a document, other users can only open the document in a read-only manner, resulting in inefficient editing.

It is to be noted that the information disclosed in the above background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and thus may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

Detailed Description

Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

In one scheme of the related art, the editing right is set for the collaborative document to limit the editing behavior of the user and preserve the document content, however, the editing right is usually a uniform standard for the entire collaborative document, and when important information exists in the document, a higher editing right needs to be set, which may affect the editing of the non-important content in the document by a general user, and cause inconvenience in use. In another scheme of the related art, real-time edited content of each user is presented to other users through real-time transmission, so as to reduce edited content conflicts between users, thereby supporting simultaneous editing of multiple users, however, real-time transmission needs to occupy a large amount of network resources, when the transmission condition is not ideal, transmission delay may still cause edited content conflicts of different users, and the scheme also cannot support a way that a user downloads to local editing.

In view of the above, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a collaborative document editing control method. Fig. 1 shows a system architecture 100 of a collaborative document editing program, which includes a creating user terminal 101 that uploads a collaborative document for the first time, a server 102 that stores the collaborative document and respective history data of the collaborative document, and a plurality of editing user terminals 103 that can edit the collaborative document. Wherein, the creating user terminal 101 uploads the collaboration document to the server 102, and the server 102 can control editing of the collaboration document by the method of the present exemplary embodiment. The editing user terminal 103 may also send a request to the server 102, and then perform the editing control method of the present exemplary embodiment on the collaborative document in a manner of downloading to the local and uploading to the server 102 after editing, or in a manner of direct online editing. It should be noted that, when the creating user terminal 101 edits the collaboration document again after uploading the collaboration document for the first time, it is usually necessary to request downloading from the server 102 to local editing or online editing, and therefore the collaboration document editing control method according to the present exemplary embodiment may also be applied. Thus, the method in the present exemplary embodiment may be applied to both the server 102 shown in fig. 1 and the user terminals (101, 103). As shown in fig. 2, the collaborative document editing control method may include the steps of:

step S210, acquiring a collaboration document, wherein the collaboration document comprises a target field.

The target field refers to a part specified in the existing content of the collaborative document, such as a text, a sentence or sentences of text, a character, etc. in a text document, or a cell, a row, a column, etc. in a table document, or one or several pages in a presentation document, etc. Taking the example that the collaborative document is a text document, the creating user can divide the document by taking paragraphs as basic units, so that each paragraph becomes a target field, and each target field is respectively set with a modification rule and managed. Of course, the creating user may also perform a coarser or finer division according to actual needs, for example, merge multiple paragraphs into one target field, or designate one line, one sentence of text, or even one character as a target field. If the creating user does not specify a target field, the system may default to the entire document as the target field. After the division and designation of the object fields are completed, the server may number all the object fields in the background, such as field 1, field 2 …, etc., record the numbering order of the object fields and all the characters contained in each object field, and then identify and sort the object fields according to the numbers.

Step S220, responding to the modification operation aiming at the target field, and displaying a preset electronic signature for the collaborative document and/or the target field according to a preset modification rule so as to identify that the target field is modified.

The preset modification rule refers to displaying a preset electronic signature and a preset electronic signature display mode (including position, style and the like) when the target field is modified. The preset electronic signature is used for indicating that the affiliated user of the signature carries out modification operation on the target field, and may include the account number, the machine name, the time when the modification operation occurs or other self-defined labels and other contents of the affiliated user.

FIG. 3 shows an interaction flow in the collaborative document editing system according to the embodiment, and referring to the figure, setting of the target field and the preset modification rule can be performed by a creating user of the collaborative document when uploading the document to the server; after the editing user terminal performs modification operation on the target field, the server may display a preset electronic signature, for example: editing a user terminal to download a collaboration document and modify a target field, detecting that the target field is modified by a server when the collaboration document is uploaded to a server, and displaying a preset electronic signature; or the target field of the collaborative document is modified online by the editing user terminal, and the server can add or display the preset electronic signature in real time. The preset electronic signature can be presented in various ways, such as identifying the target field involved in the modification operation with different font colors or background colors, adding the modified electronic signature in the form of an annotation in the blank of the document beside the target field, or adding the modified electronic signature in the form of a transparent watermark in the target field, or presenting the modified electronic signature in the form of an annotation when other users click the target field, and the like. The predetermined electronic signature may be displayed at a location of the target field, or may be displayed at a predetermined location of the collaborative document, such as a title, an end, etc. Generally, in order to prevent counterfeit electronic signatures, the system may be configured to directly display the preset electronic signature in the collaborative document after acquiring the user terminal information for performing the modification operation from the background, or the user terminal may automatically send the preset electronic signature information to the server, so that the server displays the preset electronic signature in the collaborative document in a preset manner.

A scenario to which the method in this embodiment is applied is exemplarily illustrated by taking the collaboration document diagram in fig. 4 as an example. After the editing user C opens the collaborative document 400, a field to be modified is selected from the collaborative document, where the field may be a complete paragraph or a part of a paragraph, for example, the user C may select to enter a modification mode to perform modification operations such as inserting new content into the field 3 and deleting original content, if the user C wants to modify the last two lines (denoted as field 3) of the 3 rd paragraph in fig. 4. When user C modifies, field 3 may be highlighted with a special color, or other fields may be faded, shaded, etc. for ease of identification. After the modification is completed, the system may automatically display a predetermined electronic signature 403 for field 3.

In an exemplary embodiment, in order to facilitate the creation user of the collaborative document to strengthen the management of some key fields, the target fields may include a restricted editing field, and the preset electronic signature may include a creativity electronic signature; the method may further comprise: adding and displaying a creative electronic signature to the collaborative document and/or the restricted editing field in advance, wherein the creative electronic signature is convertible.

As described above with reference to fig. 3, the edit restriction field refers to a field designated as non-editable by the creating user, and may be one or more fields that can be set by the creating user when uploading the collaboration document. The creativity electronic signature is a special type of the preset electronic signature, and is used for indicating that the user to which the electronic signature belongs is a creator of the collaborative document, and the creativity electronic signature can be usually added and displayed in advance by the creator when uploading the collaborative document, and can be displayed at the editing-restricted field or at a preset position of the collaborative document, such as a title, an end, and the like. The electronic signature may be distinguished from a common predetermined electronic signature by a specific color or pattern, or a word such as "create", "author", or the like may be identified in the creative electronic signature to indicate the creative electronic signature, or the like. The creativity electronic signature being transferable means that its style, content, etc. may be altered.

Further, in an exemplary embodiment, the modification operation may include a change operation, wherein, in response to the modification operation for the target field, displaying a preset electronic signature for the collaborative document and/or the target field according to a preset modification rule may include: converting the attribute of the creative electronic signature in response to a change operation for the restricted edit field; displaying the creativity electronic signature of a conversion attribute. When other users change the editing-restricted field, the attribute of the creativity electronic signature is converted and displayed to indicate that the editing-restricted field is changed or inform other users that the changing operation is illegal. In an exemplary embodiment, the attributes of the creative electronic signature may include color attributes; the converting attributes of the creative electronic signature may include: and converting the color attribute of the creativity electronic signature from a first preset color to a second preset color. As shown in FIG. 4, a creative electronic signature 401 is added to the title portion of the collaboration document 400, and when other users attempt to modify the title, the creative electronic signature 401 may change from red to black to perform the function of identification or notification. In addition, the above-mentioned function can also be realized by attribute conversion of other aspects, such as changing the shape of the creativity electronic signature, adding a specific identifier to the creativity electronic signature, and the like.

In addition to making modifications to existing content of the collaborative document, new content may need to be written during editing. In an exemplary embodiment, the preset modification rule may include a write rule; the method may further comprise: in response to a write operation directed to adding a new field in the collaborative document, adding a writable electronic signature for the new field according to the write rule.

The writing rules may include user authority for writing, a writing location, an upper limit of the number of characters written, and the like, for example, which users are allowed to write a new field, whether a new field is allowed to be written at any location, or whether a new field is allowed to be written in a target field (in some scenarios, it may be set that writing a new field in a target field is one of modification operations on a target field, and a modification rule is applied), and a maximum character limit for writing a new field each time, and the like. The writing rule may be set by a creating user of the collaborative document at the time of uploading the document, or a uniform rule may be distributed by the server, or the like. The writable electronic signature is another special type of the preset electronic signature, and is used for indicating that the affiliated user of the electronic signature performs writing operation on the new field. The electronic signature can be distinguished from the common preset electronic signature and the creatable electronic signature by a specific color or pattern, and can also be distinguished by identifying characters and the like, for example, characters such as "write", "new" and the like are identified in the writable electronic signature. As shown in FIG. 4, user B has written field 2 in the collaborative document 400 and the writeable electronic signature may be as shown at 402. When the document is opened by another user, it can be known that the field 2 is added by the user B through the writable electronic signature 402, and a creating user or a system administrator of the collaborative document may perform tracing management on the field 2 according to the writable electronic signature 402.

After writing a new field, the system may set a number for the new field in the background while adjusting all subsequent target fields backward by one number, for example, after writing a new field after field 3, the system may set the new field to field 4, adjust the original field 4 to field 5, and so on. The system background can also set a secondary number for the new field (relative to the primary number for the original target field), and fig. 5 shows a scheme for hierarchically numbering fields. As shown in fig. 5, a secondary number may be generated when adding new fields between fields of the same level number, e.g., the new fields written between field 3 and field 4 are numbered in the order of fields 3-1, 3-2. The fields of the secondary number are preceded and the fields of the primary number are followed, with the addition of a new field in between, and a continuation number may be added according to the secondary number, e.g. the new field written between field 3-1 and field 4 is continued according to 3-2, 3-3. The fields with the primary numbers are in front of each other, the fields with the secondary numbers are behind each other, and when new fields are added in the middle, the numbering can be continued in the reverse direction according to the secondary numbers, for example, the new fields written between the field 3 and the field 3-1 can be numbered as 3-a and 3-b, wherein a represents-1, b represents-2, and the like to form reverse ordering, and when 26 letters are used up, the ordering can be continued according to the order of aa and ab. The following may generate three-level numbers, even four-level numbers, etc., which may be ordered according to the above rules. The number of the field is the basis for managing the mutual sequence of different fields by the background of the system, and the whole document is always arranged according to the number sequence of the field no matter the collaborative document is modified or written, so that the editing disorder of the document can be reduced. Of course, the field numbers in fig. 5 may be recorded only in the background of the system and not displayed in the document, or may be displayed in a specific form, for example, in the form of locked text at the start position of each field, and marked with a special color, etc. This embodiment is not particularly limited thereto.

A scenario to which the method in this embodiment is applied is exemplarily illustrated by taking a schematic diagram of a collaboration table document in fig. 6 as an example. Fig. 6 is a trial opinion table 600 of a new product, wherein users participating in trial need to fill trial opinions in column B of the opinion table 600 within a limited time and arrange in the order of submission time, and column a is an automatically generated sequence number set as unchangeable; the 8 th, 18 th, 28 th and so on submitted users will obtain prizes, and the signatures will be automatically generated in column C after the prizes are submitted. The trial opinion table 600 is a collaborative form document, wherein column a is a limited editing field 601, a creativity electronic signature 604 is added and displayed in the trial opinion table 600 in advance, and the creativity electronic signature 604 may display a color change when a user changes the limited editing field 601; the content filled by the user in column B becomes a new field 602, the writing rule of which is that the user participating in the trial has the writing right, the new field 602 is arranged according to the writing time sequence, and column C generates a corresponding signature (i.e. a writable electronic signature 603).

In order to prevent the conflict of different users for modifying the content, when a user modifies the target field, other users can be limited to modify the target field at the same time. Thus, in an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: locking the target field in response to a modify operation directed to the target field. Locking means that other users are not allowed to edit, and can be presented in a specific way, such as identifying the target field with a specific color, or adding a locked graphical symbol, etc. When the editing user opens the collaborative document, it can be seen which fields are being edited by other users, so that the target fields with the current editing state being idle can be selected for editing. When the editing user modifies a target field that has been locked, the server may refuse its modification operation and send a notification. As shown in FIG. 4, when user D modifies field 4, a corresponding location in the document may generate a lock flag 404 to inform other users that the field is in an edited state. After user D completes the modifications and submits the system, the system may unlock field 4.

In an exemplary embodiment, in order to enable the creating user and each editing user of the collaborative document to know the editing progress of the document in time, the method may further include: sending a notification to a specified address after the modify operation for the target field is completed. The designated address may be a terminal address of a creating user or a related editing user of the collaborative document, or a terminal address of a system administrator, or the like. The notification may be sent by the system as an instant message, or by sending an email to the mailbox address of the creating user. Referring to fig. 3 described above, in addition to modifying the target field, a notification may be sent when the edit-restricted field is changed or a new field is written. The content of the notification may include a name of the collaborative document, a user name for performing a modification operation or a write operation, the content of the modification or the write, and the like.

It should be noted that fig. 3 is only an exemplary illustration of the interaction flow in the exemplary embodiment. Not limited to the case shown in fig. 3, in other embodiments, the steps of displaying the preset electronic signature, converting the attribute of the creativity electronic signature, displaying the writeability electronic signature, and the like may also be performed by the editing user terminal or the creating user terminal; the notification after the modification operation can also be sent to the creating user terminal or the server by the editing user terminal, or sent to all users in the whole system by the editing user terminal in a group message mode.

In addition to managing modification operations in the form of electronic signatures as described above, the user's modification request may be verified to determine whether modification is permitted. In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: responding to a modification request aiming at the target field, and verifying the modification request according to the preset modification rule; and if the modification request passes the verification, receiving a modification operation aiming at the target field.

The modification rule may be a modification condition and a limitation set for the target field, for example, a user who has what authority may modify the field, whether to allow a modification operation of deleting the original content, whether to insert new content has a character number limitation, and the like. Generally, a collaboration document may include a plurality of target fields, and a creating user may set different modification rules according to the importance degree of each target field, and may particularly set strict modification limits for some target fields containing important information, for example, a document related to a department business may allow all department employees to review, but only the department employee to modify, where an important paragraph containing business data only allows the department manager to modify; for example, in a table document in which personal information of all the employees is recorded, only the employees are allowed to modify cells corresponding to the personal information of the employees. It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the division of the target field and the setting of the modification rule may also be performed by the server according to a default or preset scheme, and may also be performed by a system administrator, or performed by a new creating user after the creating user transfers the identity of the creating user to another user. This embodiment is not particularly limited thereto.

When an editing user needs to modify a certain target field of the collaborative document, a modification request can be sent to the system, and then the system checks according to the modification rule. Usually, the modification request may include two requests, the first request enters a modification mode, the server verifies the identity information, for example, it verifies whether it has a modification right through an account number, a machine name, an IP address, and the like, and the verification of the identity information may also be in a form of a password, for example, the creating user may set a password for the target field, and the editing user may trigger the modification after inputting a correct password. The second request may be to return the modified content to the server, which checks whether the modification complies with the rules. In practical application, two requests can be combined into one time, and the server only checks once; in some scenarios only limiting the modification authority and not limiting the modification mode, the second request and verification can be omitted. This embodiment is not particularly limited thereto.

When the modification request is verified, the system may receive a modification operation for the target field, modify the target field, and may display a corresponding preset electronic signature.

Therefore, in the exemplary embodiment, different modification rules can be set for different target fields in the collaborative document, so that differentiated management of the collaborative document by taking the fields as units is realized, for example, a strict modification rule can be set for important fields, and a common modification rule is set for non-important fields, so that the integrity and the safety of important information can be ensured, the use by a user is facilitated, and the balance between the safety and the convenience is achieved. Moreover, the method of the embodiment can support multiple users to edit different fields simultaneously without real-time transmission, and also support a mode that the users download the collaborative document to the local and upload the collaborative document back to the server after editing, so that the editing efficiency of the collaborative document is improved under the condition of less network resource occupation, and the multiple users can edit simultaneously without conflict.

It should be noted that, when the above embodiments are executed on the server, each time the user performs a modification operation, only the modification permission of the target field may be opened to the user, that is, although the user can view the entire collaboration document, only the target field is actually modifiable, so the server may simultaneously open and modify different target fields to different users, and after the server obtains the modification operation of the target field, the server updates in the entire system, so that each user terminal obtains the latest version of the collaboration document. When the above embodiments are executed on the user terminal, the user terminal may obtain a complete collaborative document from the server, and when the user performs modification operation, in order to ensure consistency of the collaborative document in the entire system, the latest modification condition of the collaborative document may be shared by each user terminal in the entire system in real time, so that each user terminal may open or close modification authority of a specific target field for the user on the terminal according to the latest modification condition of other user terminals, so as to prevent conflicting modifications.
