Method and device for updating a thesaurus

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide a lexicon updating method and device. The method comprises the following steps of: receiving an entry uploaded by a first terminal when the mobile terminal displays entries in a first temporary lexicon on a screen; determining that the entry satisfies a preset push condition; searching a second terminal having similar or same input behaviors with the first terminal according to the push condition; and pushing the entry to the second terminal so as to update a second temporary lexicon. Through the characteristics of the temporary lexicons, the entries in the temporary lexicons are cleared, and the capacities of the temporary lexicons are ensured to be at a relatively low level, so that the other lexicons of input method systems are still on the existing lexicon capacity level, the quantity of keywords in the lexicons is greatly decreased, the correctness of preferred words of the users during the input is ensured, and the occupation of the resources of computation devices such as CPU, internal memory and the like is on a reasonable level.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of input methods, in particular to a method for updating the word database and a device for updating the word database. Background technique [0002] With the popularization and development of computer technology, input methods have become an important tool for users to interact with computers. Users of different professional fields, different interests and usage habits have increasingly higher requirements for the intelligence of input methods. [0003] At present, the input method vocabulary generally covers a part of the vocabulary used by users, usually including some commonly used vocabulary, and some vocabulary is not covered by the input method thesaurus. [0004] In daily life, many current affairs news are hot topics discussed by people, such as the Olympic Games, typhoons, etc. This is the fact that current affairs news appears for a short time. When users discuss these current affairs news, users n...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The lexicon is too large, there are too many homophones, and the number of candidates increases. The probability of using these words among the overall users is relatively low. Users who do not need to use these words will be disturbed, resulting in a low accuracy rate of the preferred words when users input

[0007] Moreover, a large thesaurus will greatly occupy the resources of computing devices such as CPU (Central Processing Unit, central processing unit) and internal memory.
