Method, device and equipment for inquiring route information

[0077] In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only These are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0078] The inventor found through research that in the prior art, if a user needs to query route information when using a smart device, he first needs to exit the currently used application, then find the icon of the application with the route query function, and click the icon to enter the application. Application, enter the departure and destination at the specified location respectively, and then click query to obtain the route information that the user wants to query.

[0079] This series of operation processes is cumbersome for the user, thereby causing inconvenience for the user to operate.

[0080] In order to solve the above problem, in the embodiment of the present invention, considering that in practical applications, the input content before the user needs to query the route information and the received communication content may express the user's intention to query the route information, it is possible to use The current user input and/or the currently received communication to identify the user's intent to query the route information, thereby automatically in the event that the user input or received communication shows the intent to query the route Query the route information that the user wants to query, and present the route information obtained by the query on the terminal.

[0081] For example, a user enters "I want to go to Wangjing from Wudaokou" in the process of chatting with friends in the instant messaging software, and the input content "I want to go to Wangjing from Wudaokou" can express that the user wants to query from "Wudaokou" to "Wandaokou" to "Wangjing" the intent of the route. In the embodiment of the present invention, the user's intention to inquire about the route from "Wudaokou" to "Wangjing" can be identified according to the user's input content "I want to go from Wudaokou to Wangjing", and the user can automatically inquire about the route from "Wudaokou" to "Wangjing" ”, and present the route information obtained by the query on the terminal. In this way, the user does not need to exit the operation interface of the instant messaging software and enter an application program with a route query function for query, and can obtain the route information that the user wants to query, thereby simplifying the user operation and improving the user experience.

[0082] For another example, the user receives the communication content "You want to go to Wangjing from Wudaokou" in the process of chatting with friends in the instant messaging software, and the input content "You want to go to Wangjing from Wudaokou" can express that the user wants to query. The intention of the route from "Wudaokou" to "Wangjing". In the embodiment of the present invention, the user's intention to inquire about the route from "Wudaokou" to "Wangjing" can be identified according to the received communication content "You want to go from Wudaokou to Wangjing", and the user can automatically inquire about the route from "Wudaokou" to "Wandaokou" to The route information of "Wangjing", the route information obtained by the query is presented on the terminal. In this way, the user does not need to exit the operation interface of the instant messaging software and enter an application program with a route query function for query, and can obtain the route information that the user wants to query, thereby simplifying the user operation and improving the user experience.

[0083] By way of example, the embodiments of the present invention may be applied to figure 1 the scene shown. In this scenario, the terminal 101 and the server 103 can interact through the network 102 .

[0084] As an example, in the above scenario, first, the terminal 101 may acquire the content currently input by the user and/or the communication content currently received on the terminal as the current content. Then, the terminal 101 can upload the acquired current content to the server 103 through the network 102 . The server 103 may first determine whether the current content contains the current place noun, and if so, delete the current place noun from the current content to obtain the content to be matched, and then compare the content to be matched with the pre-recorded sentence pattern with the query route semantics The template is matched, and if the to-be-matched content matches the sentence pattern template, the route information query is performed based on the current gazetteer. Then, the server 103 sends the route information obtained by the query to the terminal 101 through the network 102, and instructs the terminal 101 to present the route information.

[0085] As another example, in the above scenario, firstly, the terminal 101 may acquire the content currently input by the user on the terminal and/or as the current content. Then, the terminal 101 first determines whether the current content contains the current place noun, and if so, the terminal 101 sends the current content to the server 103 through the network 102 . Wherein, the thesaurus information of the current place noun may be stored on the terminal 101 in advance. The server 103 deletes the current place noun from the current content to obtain the to-be-matched content, and then matches the to-be-matched content with a pre-recorded sentence pattern template with query route semantics, if the to-be-matched content matches the sentence pattern template , the route information query is based on the current gazetteer. Then, the server 103 sends the route information obtained by the query to the terminal 101 through the network 102, and instructs the terminal 101 to present the route information.

[0086] As yet another embodiment, in the above scenario, first, the terminal 101 may acquire the content currently input by the user and/or the communication content currently received on the terminal as the current content. Then, the terminal 101 first determines whether the current content contains the current place noun, and if so, the terminal 101 deletes the current place noun from the current content to obtain the content to be matched, and then compares the content to be matched with the pre-recorded semantics of the query route If the content to be matched matches the sentence template, the terminal 101 can send a route query request for the current place noun to the server 103 through the network 102 . The server 103 may query the route information based on the current gazetteer according to the route query request, and send the queried route information to the terminal 101 through the network 102, so that the terminal 101 presents the route information. Wherein, the thesaurus information of the current place noun may be pre-stored on the terminal 101; the pre-recorded sentence template with the query route semantics may be sent by the server 103 to the terminal 101 through the network 102 in advance.

[0087] It can be understood that, in the above application scenarios, although the actions of the embodiments of the present invention are described as being partially performed by the terminal 101 and partially performed by the server. However, these actions may also be all performed by the terminal 101 or all performed by the server 103 or partially performed by the terminal 101 and the server 103 in other combined manners. The present invention is not limited in terms of the execution subject, as long as the actions disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention are executed.

[0088] It should be noted that the above application scenarios are only shown for the convenience of understanding the present invention, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited in this respect. Rather, embodiments of the present invention can be applied to any scenario where applicable.

[0089] Various non-limiting embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0090] Exemplary method

[0091] see figure 2 , showing a schematic flowchart of a method for querying route information in an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the method may include the following steps, for example:

[0092] S201: Acquire user input content and/or received communication content as current content.

[0093] In order to determine the intent of the route information that the user wants to inquire about through the user's input content or received communication content, the terminal can obtain the user's current input content and/or the currently used application program through the input method system The communication content currently received by the program is taken as the current content. For example, for user input content, when the user triggers an input operation in the currently used application, the terminal can call the input method system, so that the user can use the input method system to input content in the currently used application, so that the input method The system can obtain the current content entered by the user in the currently used application.

[0094]As an example, if the terminal obtains the current content through an input method system, the current content may be content input by the user or communication content received by Haofa when the user uses a chat application to chat , the chat application can be any instant messaging software such as WeChat, Yixin, QQ, etc.

[0095] As another example, if the terminal obtains the current content input by the user on the terminal through the input method system, the current content input by the user on the terminal may also be the content input by the user when using an application with a search function to search . For example, the current content input by the user may be the content input by the user when searching using a browser.

[0096] In addition, the current content input by the user on the terminal may also be content input in other scenarios using the input method.

[0097] S202: If the current place noun is found in the current content, delete the current place noun from the current content to obtain the content to be matched.

[0098] S203: Match the to-be-matched content with a pre-recorded sentence pattern template, wherein the sentence pattern template has the semantics of asking for a route.

[0099] During specific implementation, the current gazetteer may be found in an existing gazetteer, that is, the current gazetteer belongs to the gazetteer included in the gazetteer. It is understood that the place names in the gazetteer may include place names and building names. Therefore, the current place noun may be a specific place name, for example, the current place noun may be "Wudaokou", "Wangjing", and so on. Alternatively, the current place noun may also be the name of a landmark building, for example, the current place noun may be "Oriental Pearl TV Tower", "Nanjing Xuanwu Gate", and so on.

[0100] When searching for the current gazetteer in the current content, the current content input by the user may be split first, the complete sentence input by the user may be split into multiple words, and each split word may be compared with the words in the gazetteer table. The gazetteer is compared to determine the current gazetteer in the current input content. For example, the current content entered by the user is "I want to go from Wudaokou to Wangjing", when looking for the place nouns in the content, firstly split "I want to go from Wudaokou to Wangjing", and the split result is "I #有#from #wudaokou#到#wangjing", compare the split words "I", "yao", "cong", "wudaokou", "to" and "wangjing" with the place nouns in the list of place nouns, If it is found that the place nouns have place nouns "Wudaokou" and "Wandaokou", it is determined that the current place nouns in the current input content are "Wudaokou" and "Wandaokou" and "Wandaokou".

[0101] It can be understood that, when the current content input by the user includes place nouns, sometimes the user has the intention to inquire about the route, but sometimes the user may not have the intention to inquire about the route. For example, if the current content input by the user is "Wudaokou is really fun", the user probably does not have the intention to inquire about route information when inputting the content. Therefore, when it is determined that the current content input by the user contains the current place noun, it is also necessary to further determine whether the semantics expressed by the current content input by the user is to inquire about the route. In specific implementation, the current place noun can be deleted from the current content, the current content input by the user who deletes the current place name can be used as the content to be matched, and the content to be matched is matched with a pre-recorded sentence pattern template to determine Whether the user has the semantics of querying route information, wherein the pre-recorded sentence template has the semantics of querying the route. Specifically, if the content to be matched contains the sentence pattern template, it is considered that the content to be matched matches the sentence pattern template, that is to say, the current content input by the user corresponding to the content to be matched has a query route information. semantics. For example, the pre-recorded sentence template is "from ** to **", the current content input by the user is "how to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing", and the content to be matched corresponding to the current content is "how to get from ** to **" , the content to be matched "how from ** to **" contains the sentence template "from ** to **", then it is considered that the content to be matched "how from ** to **" and the sentence template "from ** to **" **", that is to say, the current content "how to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing" entered by the user has the semantics of asking for route information.

[0102] In this embodiment, the sentence pattern template with the semantics of querying the route is recorded before the template is used to judge whether the content to be matched has the semantics of querying the route information. Wherein, the recording manner of the sentence pattern template may have various implementation manners.

[0103] As an example, in order to realize the recording of the sentence pattern template, before S203, it may further include: in response to a user editing operation on the sentence pattern template, recording the content input under the user editing operation as the sentence pattern template.

[0104] It can be understood that the developer may know some content that the user may input when he wants to query the route. In this case, the developer may directly input the sentence template by performing the user editing operation. For example, if the developer knows that "from ** to **" will be entered when the user wants to query the route, the developer can directly enter "from ** to **" through the user's edit operation to trigger the record "From * *to**" is a sentence template. For another example, if the developer knows that "how to get to **" will be entered when the user wants to query the route, the developer can directly input "how to get to **" through the user's editing operation to trigger the recording of "how to get to **" Sentence template.

[0105] As another example, in order to realize the recording of the sentence template, before S203, the method may further include: for jumping to the historical user behavior of performing route query on an application with a route query function, obtaining the historical user behavior before the historical user behavior. User input content and/or received communication content, as the first historical content; if the first historical content contains a first historical place noun and the location represented by the first historical place noun is related to the historical user In the behavior, the designated position used for querying the route is consistent, and the sentence pattern template is extracted and recorded from the part of the first historical content excluding the part of the first historical place noun.

[0106] For the convenience of description, in the following description, "historical user behavior" means "the behavior of the user jumping to an application with a route query function to perform a route query".

[0107] It can be understood that the user input content and the received communication content before the historical user behavior may express the user's intention to query the route information. In other words, the user jumps to the application with the route query function to execute the route query. Either the input or the communication received may have the semantics of asking for directions. For example, the user jumps to "Baidu Map" to query a certain route information. Before the user jumps to "Baidu Map" to query the route information, the historical content entered by the user is "I don't know how to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing". The input content "I don't know how to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing" before jumping to "Baidu Map" to query the route information may express the user's intention to query the route information. Therefore, the user input content and/or the received communication content before the historical user behavior can be acquired as the first historical content, and the sentence pattern template is recorded according to the first historical content.

[0108] It can be understood that, for the first historical content, the first historical content may or may not have the semantics of querying the route. For example, the user jumps to "Baidu Map" to query a certain route information. Before the user jumps to "Baidu Map" to query the route information, the first historical content entered by the user is "Stop talking, I'm going to be busy" , but the first historical content "I'm not talking, I'm going to be busy" does not have the semantics of querying route information. In view of this situation, after acquiring the first historical content, it can be judged whether the first historical content contains the semantics of the query route, and then only the first historical content containing the semantics of the query route is used to record the sentence template, and Sentence templates are not recorded with first historical content that does not contain query route semantics.

[0109] In order to determine whether the first historical content contains the semantics of the query route, it is possible to first determine whether the first historical content contains the first historical place noun. If the first historical content contains the first historical place noun and the If the position represented by the first historical place noun is consistent with the designated position used for querying the route in the historical user behavior, it is determined that the first historical content has the semantics of querying the route.

[0110] It should be noted that the first historical place noun may include two place names or one place name. The following is an introduction to the first historical place noun containing two place names and the first historical place noun containing one place name.

[0111] When the first historical place noun includes two place nouns, for example, the first historical content input by the user is "I don't know how to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing", and the first historical place noun contained in the first historical content is "Wudaokou" and "Wandaokou", after the user enters the content, they jump to "Baidu Map" to query the route information from "Wudaokou" to "Wangjing", that is to say, the location information and usage of the first historical place nouns The location of the query route is the same, both are "Wudaokou" and "Wangjing". Then it can be determined that the first historical content "I don't know how to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing" has the semantics of asking for a route.

[0112] After it is determined that the first historical content has the semantics of asking for a route, the part of the first historical place noun from the first historical content may be excluded as the sentence pattern template and recorded. For example, the first historical content is "I don't know how to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing", and the part of the first historical place nouns "Wudaokou" and "Wandaokou" from "I don't know how to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing" is "I don't know" How to get from ** to **", you can use "I don't know how to get from ** to **" as a sentence template and record it.

[0113] Further, considering that different content may be used to express the same semantics when the user inputs content, in order to make the recorded sentence template more widely applicable to the user's variable input content, this embodiment can also be based on the above description. On the basis of excluding the first historical place nouns in the first historical content, parts that do not affect the semantics of the query route are removed, so as to obtain a sentence pattern template and record it. For example, the first historical content is "I don't know how to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing", and the part of the first historical place nouns "Wudaokou" and "Wandaokou" from "I don't know how to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing" is "I don't know" How to get from ** to **", "I don't know how" can be removed from it, so as to extract "from ** to **" with the semantics of asking the route as a sentence template and record it.

[0114] When the first historical place noun includes a place noun, for example, the first historical content input by the user is "I don't know how to go to Wangjing", and the first historical place noun contained in the first historical content is "Wangjing" , the user jumps to "Baidu Map" after entering the content to query the route information from the current location to "Wangjing", that is to say, the location information represented by the first historical place noun is consistent with the formulation location used for querying the route , are "front positioning position" and "Wangjing". Then it can be determined that the first historical content "I don't know how to get to Wangjing" has the semantics of asking for directions.

[0115] After it is determined that the first historical content has the semantics of asking for a route, the part of the first historical place noun from the first historical content may be excluded as the sentence pattern template and recorded. For example, the first historical content is "I don't know how to go to Wangjing", and the part of the first historical place noun "Wangjing" is removed from "I don't know how to go to Wangjing" as "I don't know how to go to **", you can use "I don't know how to **" is used as a sentence template and recorded.

[0116]Further, considering that different content may be used to express the same semantics when the user inputs content, in order to make the recorded sentence template more widely applicable to the user's variable input content, this embodiment can also be based on the above description. On the basis of excluding the first historical place nouns in the first historical content, parts that do not affect the semantics of the query route are removed, so as to obtain a sentence pattern template and record it. For example, the first historical content is "I don't know how to go to Wangjing", and the part that removes the first historical place noun "Wangjing" from "I don't know how to go to Wangjing" is "I don't know how to get there". Then remove "I don't know", so as to extract "how to get to **" with the semantics of asking the route as a sentence template and record it.

[0117] As another example, in order to realize the recording of the sentence template, before S203, it may further include: obtaining the second historical content input by the user; if the second historical content contains a second historical place noun, obtain the second historical content extracting an initial template from the second historical content excluding the part of the second historical place noun; in response to a confirmation operation for the initial template, recording the initial template as the sentence template.

[0118] It should be noted that, in order to realize the record of the sentence template, the second historical content input by the user can also be directly obtained. When the second historical content contains a second historical place noun, the second historical The content excluding the part of the second historical place noun is used as an initial template, and it is up to the developer to judge whether the initial template has the semantics of asking for a route. If the initial template has the meaning of the route query, the initial template is recorded as the sentence template, and if the initial template does not have the meaning of the route query, the initial template is discarded. For example, for the initial templates "how to get to **" and "** is really fun", when the developer confirms the initial template and thinks that "how to get to **" has the semantics of asking for directions, then "how to get to **" is used as a sentence When the developer confirms the initial template and thinks that "** is fun" does not have the semantics of asking for a route, the initial template is discarded.

[0119] S204: If the to-be-matched content matches the sentence pattern template, query route information based on the current place noun to obtain target route information.

[0120] It can be understood that, the number of place nouns contained in the current content input by the user may have various situations.

[0121] As an example, the current gazetteer includes a first gazetteer and a second gazetteer. For example, the current content input by the user is "I want to go from Wudaokou to Wangjing", and the current content includes the first place noun "Wudaokou" and the second place noun "Wandaokou". When the current content input by the user includes a first gazetteer and a second gazetteer, the target route information is used to indicate a route between the location represented by the first gazetteer and the location represented by the second gazetteer . For example, if the current content input by the user is "I want to go from Wudaokou to Wangjing", the target route information may be used to indicate the route information between the position indicated by "Wudaokou" and the position indicated by "Wandaokou".

[0122] As another example, the current gazetteer contains only the third gazetteer. For example, the current content input by the user is "How to go to Wangjing?", and the current content only includes the third place noun "Wangjing". When the current content input by the user only includes a third place noun, the target route information is used to indicate a route between the position represented by the third place noun and the current location of the terminal. For example, if the current content input by the user is "How to get to Wangjing?", the target route information may be used to indicate the route information between the position indicated by "Wangjing" and the user's current positioning position.

[0123] It should be noted that the query method of the target route information may be specifically: based on the sentence template and the current place noun, determine the departure location and the destination location; calculate the distance from the departure location to the destination location route; generate target route information indicating the route.

[0124] It should be noted that, if the number of the current place nouns is different, the corresponding sentence pattern templates may also be different. Correspondingly, the specific methods for determining the departure location and the destination location are also different. The following describes specific methods for determining the location of the departure place and the location of the destination for the current place noun as one and the current place noun as two.

[0125] When the number of the current place noun is one, and the sentence pattern template is "how to go**", the departure position and the destination position correspond to the current positioning position and the current place noun. For example, if the current content input by the user is "How to get to Wudaokou", the current place noun is "Wudaokou", then the departure position is the current positioning position, and the destination position is the position indicated by "Wudaokou".

[0126] When the number of the current place nouns is two, they are the first place noun and the second place noun respectively, and the sentence pattern template is "from "the first place noun" to "the second place noun"", then , the departure location is the location indicated by the first place noun, and the destination location is the location indicated by the second place noun. For example, if the current content input by the user is "How to get from Wangjing to Wudaokou", then the first place noun is "Wandaokou", the second place noun is "Wudaokou", then the departure location is the position indicated by "Wandaokou" , the destination location is the location indicated by "Wudaokou".

[0127] It can be understood that, after the target route information for indicating the route is generated, the target route information can also be presented on the terminal, so that the user can view the target route information that conforms to his query intention.

[0128] In this embodiment, according to the content input by the user on the terminal, it is judged whether the current content input by the user contains the current place noun, and if so, delete the current place name from the current content to obtain the content to be matched; The recorded sentence pattern template with the query route semantics is matched; if the content to be matched matches the sentence pattern template, the route information query is performed based on the current place noun, and the route information obtained by the query is displayed on the terminal. It can be seen that the user can directly obtain the route information that the user wants to query without having to exit the current application, switch to the application with the route query function, and query the route information through a series of operations. Necessary user actions are reduced and the user experience is improved.

[0129] The following takes a specific scenario as an example to introduce a method for querying route information. In this specific scenario, the user is using WeChat to chat with a friend, and during the chat, the user enters the content "How do I get from Wudaokou to Wangjing?". Among them, "Wudaokou" and "Wangjing" are geographical nouns contained in the existing geographical noun table; the pre-recorded sentence template is "from ** to **".

[0130] see image 3 , showing a schematic flowchart of a method for querying route information in an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include the following steps:

[0131] S301: The user inputs the content "how to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing".

[0132] S302: The terminal obtains the current content "how to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing" input by the user.

[0133] S303: The terminal sends the current content "How to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing" to the server.

[0134] S304: The server finds the current place nouns "Wudaokou" and "Wandaokou" from the current content "How to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing".

[0135] S305: The server deletes "Wudaokou" and "Wangjing" from "How to get from Wudaokou to Wangjing", and obtains the content to be matched "How to get from ** to **".

[0136] S306: The server matches the to-be-matched content "how to go from ** to **" with the sentence template "from ** to **", and confirms "how to go from ** to **" and "from ** to *" *" to match.

[0137] S307: The server searches and obtains route information from the position indicated by "Wudaokou" to the position indicated by "Wandaokou".

[0138] S308: The server sends the route information to the terminal.

[0139] S309: The terminal presents the route information.

[0140] In this embodiment, according to the content input by the user on the terminal, it is judged whether the current content input by the user contains the current place noun, and if so, delete the current place name from the current content to obtain the content to be matched; The recorded sentence pattern template with the query route semantics is matched; if the content to be matched matches the sentence pattern template, the route information query is performed based on the current place noun, and the route information obtained by the query is displayed on the terminal. It can be seen that the user can directly obtain the route information the user wants to query without exiting the current application, switching to the application with the route query function, and querying the route information through a series of operations. The number of user actions is reduced and the user experience is improved.
