[0022] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention, it can be implemented according to the content of the specification. And in order to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following specifically illustrates the specific embodiments of the present invention. Description of the Drawings

The drawings are only for the purpose of showing the preferred embodiments and are not considered to be a limitation of the present invention. Moreover, throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals are used to represent the same components. In the drawings:

[0027] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention can be more thoroughly understood and the scope of the present invention can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0028] Figure 1 shows a flowchart of a book search method provided by an embodiment of the present invention based on the connection between a plugin and a host application, as Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0029] Step S110, receiving a book search operation triggered by a user at the search entry of the plugin, and searching for a first book data entry that matches the search keyword in the plugin database.

[0030] Among them, the functions of the plugin include book reading, book search, book purchase, etc. Specifically, in implementation, the various functions of the e-book application program can be integrated and pluginized to obtain the plugin described in this embodiment. This plugin can be embedded into other applications, and users can quickly call out the plugin to use the plugin functions during the process of using the host application.

[0031] A search entry is displayed on the search page of the plugin. For example, the search entry includes a search term input box and a search button. The user enters a search keyword in the search term input box and then clicks the search button, thus performing a book search operation. After receiving the book search operation, the first book data entry that matches the search keyword is searched for in the database corresponding to the plugin. The first book data entry contains multiple information items of the book.

[0032] Step S120, if the first book data entry is empty, use the access interface between the plugin and the host application to invoke the host application to search for the book information search results that match the search keyword.

[0033] Among them, the plugin is embedded in the host application. In actual applications, the operator will embed its own plugin product into the application it develops, or two operators in a cooperative relationship will embed one party's plugin into the application of the other party.

[0034] If the first book data entry is empty, that is, the search function of the plugin fails to search for a book data entry that matches the search keyword. For example, if the copyright of the book is not obtained and there is no corresponding book resource in the plugin database, then the host application of the plugin is used to search again. Specifically, through the access interface between the plugin and its host application, the host application is called to search using this search keyword to obtain the book information search results.

[0035] Step S130, encapsulate the book information search results in a preset format to obtain a second book data entry.

[0036] Generally, the information items and display styles included in the search results of the plugin are inconsistent with those included in the search results of the host application. Directly presenting the search results of the host application in the plugin or directly jumping to the search result page of the host application is inconsistent with the information items and formats displayed by the user during normal plugin searches. Inevitably, the user will think that the plugin cannot meet their search needs and will jump to other applications to search, thus giving up using the plugin.

[0037] Based on this, in the method of this embodiment, the book information search results obtained by searching the host application are acquired, and then, they are encapsulated according to the data format (i.e., the preset format) of the book data entry in the plugin to obtain a second book data entry, which is equivalent to assembling the book information search results of the host application into the data format required by the plugin search result page.

[0038] Step S140, render and display the second book data entry on the search result page of the plugin.

[0039] Finally, the second book data entry is rendered and displayed on the search result page of the plugin. The data of the second book data entry essentially comes from the host application of the plugin, but is displayed on the search result page of the plugin, and the display form is the display form of the search results of the plugin. It can be seen that during the search process, the host application is only used to provide data and not to display data. For users, the process of jumping to the host application for searching is imperceptible, and the page presented to the user is always the plugin page. The plugin can meet their search needs and avoid the loss of plugin users.

[0040] According to the book search method based on the connection between the plugin and the host application provided in this embodiment, the plugin is embedded in the host application, and there is a connection interface between the plugin and the host application. When the user searches in the plugin, if no book data entry matching the search keyword is found in the plugin database, the host application is invoked through the connection interface to search for the book information search results matching the search keyword. It can be seen that by connecting the search of the plugin with the search of its host application and invoking the host application for search when the search result of the plugin is empty, the situation of empty search results can be reduced, and the probability of plugin user loss can be decreased, thereby helping to improve the user retention rate. Secondly, the search results obtained by the host application are assembled into the format specified by the plugin and displayed on the search result page of the plugin. Users cannot tell that the search results come from the host application and think that the plugin can meet their search needs, which also helps to reduce the probability of plugin user loss.

[0041] Figure 2 The flowchart of the book search method based on the connection between the plugin and the host application provided in another embodiment of the present invention is shown, as Figure 2 shown, and the method includes the following steps:

[0042] Step S210, receive the book search operation triggered by the user at the search entry of the plugin, and search in the plugin database for the first book data entry matching the search keyword.

[0043] Receive the user's book search operation, determine the search keyword according to the book search operation, and search in the plugin database for the first book data entry matching the search keyword. Among them, the various functions of the e-book application are integrated and pluginized to obtain the above-mentioned plugin. The plugin database stores book resources, and the book resources are stored in the form of book data entries. The book data entries include information items such as book covers, book names, book authors, book introductions, and book ratings.

[0044] Step S220, if the first book data entry is empty, use the connection interface between the plugin and the host application to invoke the host application to search for the book information search results matching the search keyword.

[0045] If no first book data entry matching the search keyword is found in the plugin database, the host application is invoked through the interface between the plugin and its host application for a second search to search for book information search results matching the search keyword in the database of the host application.

[0046] For example, a user enters the title of a book in the search page of the plugin for searching. If there is no relevant resource of this book in the plugin database, the title is passed to the host browser through the interface between the plugin and the host browser. The host browser uses this title to conduct another search, and the search results include relevant information about the book, such as the introduction of the book author, the cover picture of the book, the relevant website of the book, and so on.

[0047] Step S230: According to the preset book data entry template, extract book information items from the book information search results, and encapsulate the book information items to obtain a second book data entry.

[0048] In this embodiment, after obtaining the book information search results retrieved by the host application, according to the preset book data entry template, each book information item is extracted from the book information search results, and each book information item is encapsulated to obtain a second book data entry.

[0049] Among them, the preset book data entry template stipulates the book information items included in the data entry and the display styles of each book information item. The book information items may include: book website, book details information, book introduction information, book pictures, and so on. Specifically, the preset book data template contains information on the display position and size of the information item indicating the picture type, such as the display position and size of the book cover, and information on the number of display characters, font, and font size of the information item indicating the character type, such as only the first 200 characters of the book introduction are displayed, the font is regular script, and the font size is No. 4, and information on the display style of the information item indicating the number type, and so on. In short, the preset book data entry template is set based on the format of the book data entry of the plugin. Using the preset book data entry template to encapsulate each book information item aims to assemble the information retrieved from the host application into the format of the book data entry in the plugin search result page. In this way, the effect of search processing jump but the display page does not jump is achieved, avoiding giving users the feeling that the search jumps from the plugin to the outside, which helps to reduce the user churn rate of the plugin.

[0050] Among them, for the book website extracted from the book information search results of the host application, a book data entry is set to link to the web page of this book website, so that it can be jumped to the web page corresponding to this website in the subsequent process. For example, the book data entry corresponding to the book cover picture is set to link to the web page corresponding to this book website.

[0051] Optionally, store the second book data entry into the plugin database to enrich the resource data of the plugin database, so as to reduce the situation where the plugin search result is empty.

[0052] Step S240, render and display the second book data entry on the search result page of the plugin.

[0053] Render and display the second book data entry corresponding to each book information item on the search result page of the plugin.

[0054] Step S250, in response to the user's triggering operation on the second book data entry linked to the page of the book website, utilize the communication interface between the plugin and the host application to invoke the host application to search for the book website and jump to and display the web page corresponding to the book website.

[0055] On the search result page of the plugin, there is a second book data entry with a link to the web page of the book website. When the user clicks on this second book data entry, they can be redirected to the web page corresponding to the book website. That is, when viewing the search results, they are directly redirected to the web page of the host application that displays the book website.

[0056] In the prior art, if the user cannot find a matching search result in the application, they will switch to another application for searching, which requires a large number of user operations. In the method of this embodiment, on the one hand, it is possible to extract valid book information items from the search results of the host application and render and display them on the search result page of the plugin. Moreover, it also extracts the book website searched by the host application and adds an entry on the search result page to directly jump to the web page of this website. The user can quickly view the relevant web pages of the searched book, saving user operations, and thus helping to reduce the user churn rate of the plugin.

[0057] Step S260, add a book cover element to the bookshelf page of the plugin, where the book cover element is linked to the web page corresponding to the book website.

[0058] Step S270, in response to the user's triggering operation on the book cover element, utilize the communication interface between the plugin and the host application to invoke the host application to search for the book website and jump to and display the web page corresponding to the book website.

[0059] Optionally, after extracting the book website of the book information search result, display a prompt message to add to the bookshelf. In response to the user's triggering operation to add to the bookshelf, add a book cover element to the bookshelf page of the plugin.

[0060] On the bookshelf page of the plugin, add a book cover element that links to the web page corresponding to the book URL. Clicking on this book cover element can jump to the web page of the book URL, which is equivalent to providing a quick jump entry to the web page of the book URL for the user. Subsequently, when the user wants to view the information of this book, there is no need for the user to search in the host application again. The user can operate on the bookshelf page of the plugin to jump to the web page of the book URL, reducing the user's operation to view the web page of the book URL.

[0061] According to the book search method based on the connection between the plugin and the host application provided in this embodiment, the plugin is embedded in the host application, and there is a connection interface between the plugin and the host application. When the user searches in the plugin, if no book data entry matching the search keyword is found in the plugin database, the host application is invoked through the connection interface to search for the search result of book information matching the search keyword; then, information items including the book URL are extracted from the search result of the host application, assembled into the format required for the plugin search result page, and displayed on the search result page of the plugin, achieving the effect of search processing jump but the display page does not jump, avoiding giving the user the feeling of searching from the plugin to the outside, which helps to reduce the user churn rate of the plugin. At the same time, in the stage of viewing the search results, the user can jump to the web page corresponding to the book web page in the host application by clicking on the book data entry, saving the user's operations of searching and filtering information, which helps to reduce the user churn rate of the plugin. In addition, an entry for jumping to the web page of the book URL in the host application is rendered and displayed on the search result page of the bookshelf page of the plugin, providing a quick jump entry to the web page of the book URL for the user. Subsequently, when the user wants to view the relevant information of this book, there is no need for the user to search in the host application again. The user can operate on the bookshelf page of the plugin to jump to the web page of the book URL, reducing the user's operation to view the web page of the book URL.

[0062] An embodiment of the present invention provides a non-volatile computer storage medium, and the computer storage medium stores at least one executable instruction, and the computer executable instruction can execute the book search method based on the connection between the plugin and the host application in any of the above method embodiments.

[0063] The executable instruction can specifically be used to cause the processor to perform the following operations:

[0064] Receive the book search operation triggered by the user at the search entry of the plugin, and search for the first book data entry matching the search keyword in the plugin database;

[0065] If the first book data entry is empty, use the connection interface between the plugin and the host application to invoke the host application to search for the search result of book information matching the search keyword;

[0066] Encapsulate the search results of book information in a preset format to obtain the second book data entry;

[0067] Render and display the second book data entry on the search result page of the plugin.

[0068] In an alternative manner, the executable instructions cause the processor to perform the following operations:

[0069] Extract at least one book information item from the book information search results according to a preset book data entry template, and encapsulate the at least one book information item.

[0070] In an alternative manner, at least one book information item includes: a book website URL, and the second book data entry includes: a second book data entry that links to the web page corresponding to the book website URL; the executable instructions cause the processor to perform the following operations:

[0071] In response to a trigger operation by the user on the second book data entry, utilize the communication interface between the plugin and the host application to invoke the host application to search for the book website URL and jump to display the web page corresponding to the book website URL.

[0072] In an alternative manner, at least one book information item further includes one or more of the following:

[0073] Book details information, book author information, book introduction information, book pictures.

[0074] In an alternative manner, the executable instructions cause the processor to perform the following operations:

[0075] Add a book cover element to the bookshelf page of the plugin, where the book cover element links to the web page corresponding to the book website URL;

[0076] In response to a trigger operation by the user on the book cover element, utilize the communication interface between the plugin and the host application to invoke the host application to search for the book website URL and jump to display the web page corresponding to the book website URL.

[0077] In an alternative manner, the executable instructions cause the processor to perform the following operation: Store the second book data entry in the plugin database.

[0078] In the above - mentioned method, by integrating the search of the plug - in with the search of its host application and invoking the host application for search when the search results of the plug - in are empty, the situation of empty search results can be reduced, the probability of user loss can be decreased, which is helpful for improving the user retention rate. Secondly, assembling the search results obtained from the host application into the format specified by the plug - in and displaying them on the search result page of the plug - in, users can't tell that the search results come from the host application and think that the plug - in can meet their search needs, which also helps to reduce the probability of user loss of the plug - in.
