Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a content extraction method and device, a terminal and a storage medium, and relate to the technical field of computers. The method comprises: receiving a selection operation on a target control; determining a control class name of the target control according to the selection operation; determining an extraction rule corresponding to the control class name as an extraction rule of the target control, the extraction rule being used to determine an extraction manner of the target content; and extracting the target content in the target control according to the extraction rule. The content in the target control is extracted by the extraction rule. Since the extraction rule corresponds to the control class name of the target control, that is, the extraction rule is adaptively set for the control class name of the target control, the target content in the target control can be extracted more targetedly, and the problem of less effective content extracted due to the extraction of a single type of content is avoided.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a content extraction method, apparatus, terminal, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] When using mobile devices, it's often necessary to retrieve content from the user interface to achieve other functions. For example, this could involve retrieving text content and performing automatic searches, or retrieving geolocation information and using it as a destination for navigation. Typically, an application's user interface can display various types of controls, each displaying different content. For instance, a text display control might show text content, a location display control might show geolocation information, and a music sharing control might show music information.

[0003] Typically, when extracting content from a control, the operating system only extracts the text content within that control. For example, in an instant messaging application, when a user receives music shared by a friend and long-presses the music, the operating system extracts text information such as the song title, artist name, and album name from the control containing the music.

[0004] However, since there are many types of content in the control, extracting only the content of type A in the control will not meet the user's need to extract the target content of type B when the target content is type B. Furthermore, extracting only the content of type A in the control will not be possible if the control does not contain content of type A, resulting in a small amount of effective content being extracted. Here, effective content refers to the target content that the user needs the operating system to extract. Summary of the Invention

The extraction rule for control class name a includes the arithmetic expression: CE_c == null ? (a+b):c. That is, when control content c is not empty, control content c is used as the target content in the extracted target control; when control content c is empty, control content a + control content b is used as the target content in the extracted target control.

[0093] Content extraction path: This content extraction path is used to extract the content of the control in the target control.

[0094] Control content: Control content is used to represent the parameter content in the control, such as: text content, image content displayed in the control, or links, product information, information sources, etc. included in the control.

Terminal 11 has an operating system and at least one application installed. The operating system can be Android or iOS.

[0097] Terminal 11 and server 13 are connected via communication network 12, which can be a wired network or a wireless network. The wired network can be a metropolitan area network, a local area network, a fiber optic network, etc., and the wireless network can be a mobile communication network or a Wi-Fi network.

[0098] Server 13 is used to configure the above extraction rules and send the extraction rules to terminal 11 through communication network 12.

[0099] The content extraction method involved in the embodiments of this disclosure will be explained in conjunction with the above definitions. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a content extraction method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 2 As shown, taking the application of this content extraction method in the terminal's operating system as an example, the content extraction method includes:

[0100] Step 201: Receive the selection operation on the target control.

[0101] This selection action instructs the operating system to extract the target content from the target control.

[0102] Optionally, the target control is displayed in the user interface of the terminal, and the user can select the target control in the user interface. Optionally, when the terminal is a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or tablet, the user can long-press the target control in the user interface to select the target control. When the terminal's display screen is a pressure-sensitive touch screen, the user can also use pressure touch to select the target control. When the terminal is a desktop computer or a portable laptop, the user can complete the selection operation of the target control through input from an external device, such as clicking the target control with a mouse or entering a shortcut key on the keyboard.

[0103] Step 202: Determine the control class name of the target control based on the selection operation.

[0104] Optionally, when the selection operation is a long press, pressure touch, or click operation to select a target control, the method for determining the control class name of the target control includes at least the following: after receiving the selection operation, the operating system obtains the coordinate position of the selection operation in the user interface, determines the selected target control based on the coordinate position, and obtains the control class name of the target control from the target application corresponding to the target control; when the selection operation is an operation completed by entering a keyboard shortcut, the method for determining the control class name of the target control includes at least the following: the operating system pre-stores the correspondence between the shortcut keys corresponding to the user interface where the target control is located and the triggered operations, searches the correspondence based on the received shortcut key to find the selection operation corresponding to the shortcut key as a selection operation of the target control, and obtains the control class name of the target control from the target application corresponding to the target control.

[0105] Step 203: Determine the extraction rule corresponding to the control class name as the extraction rule for the target control.

[0106] Optionally, this extraction rule is used to determine how the target content is extracted.

[0107] Optionally, the operating system pre-stores the correspondence between control class names and extraction rules. This correspondence is illustrated in a table below:

[0108] Table 1

[0109] Control Class Name Extraction rules Textview Rule a Button Rule b

[0110] As shown in Table 1, the control class name "Textview" corresponds to extraction rule "rule a", and the control class name "Button" corresponds to extraction rule "rule b".

[0111] Optionally, the extraction rule includes at least one of an arithmetic expression and a content extraction path.

[0112] Step 204: Extract the target content from the target control according to the extraction rules.

[0113] Optionally, after determining the extraction rule corresponding to the control class name by the control class name, the target content is extracted by the extraction rule.

[0114] In summary, the content extraction method provided in this embodiment extracts content from the target control through extraction rules. Since the extraction rules correspond to the control class name of the target control, that is, the extraction rules are adaptively set for the control class name of the target control, it can achieve more targeted extraction of target content from the target control, avoiding the problem of less effective content extracted due to extracting only one type of content.

[0115] In an optional embodiment, the extraction rule includes at least one of an arithmetic expression and a content extraction path, wherein the arithmetic expression is used to select and extract control content from the target control, and the content extraction path is a path used to extract control content from the target control, the control content including the target content. Please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a content extraction method provided by another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 3 As shown, taking the application of this content extraction method in the terminal's operating system as an example, the content extraction method includes:

[0116] Step 301: Receive the selection operation on the target control.

[0117] This selection action instructs the operating system to extract the target content from the target control.

[0118] Optionally, the target control is displayed in the terminal's user interface, where the user can select it.

[0119] Step 302: Determine the control class name of the target control based on the selection operation.

[0120] Optionally, when the selection operation is a long press, pressure touch, or click operation to select a target control, the method for determining the control class name of the target control includes at least the following: after receiving the selection operation, the operating system obtains the coordinate position of the selection operation in the user interface, determines the selected target control based on the coordinate position, and obtains the control class name of the target control from the target application corresponding to the target control; when the selection operation is an operation completed by entering a keyboard shortcut, the method for determining the control class name of the target control includes at least the following: the operating system pre-stores the correspondence between the shortcut keys corresponding to the user interface where the target control is located and the triggered operations, searches the correspondence based on the received shortcut key to find the selection operation corresponding to the shortcut key as a selection operation of the target control, and obtains the control class name of the target control from the target application corresponding to the target control.

[0121] Step 303: Determine the extraction rule corresponding to the control class name as the extraction rule for the target control.

[0122] Optionally, this extraction rule is used to determine how the target content is extracted.

[0123] Optionally, the extraction rule includes at least one of an arithmetic expression and a content extraction path; that is, the extraction rule may include one of an arithmetic expression and a content extraction path, or it may include both an arithmetic expression and a content extraction path.

[0124] Step 304: Obtain the control content in the target control.

[0125] Optionally, the operating system can obtain the control content from the target control through reflection calls, or it can extract the control content through the extraction path corresponding to the control class name of the target control.

[0126] Optionally, when extracting control content using the extraction path corresponding to the control class name, the extraction rule must include at least an arithmetic expression and an extraction path. This is illustrated by assuming the extraction rule includes both an arithmetic expression and a content extraction path. The operating system pre-stores the correspondence between control class names and extraction rules; please refer to Table 2 below.

[0127] Table 2

[0128]

[0129]

[0130] For illustrative purposes, the control class name is ListView, and the extracted control content A is shown below: www.xxxxx.com.xxxxIf we extract the content C of the control: "Shared by xxx", and extract the content D of the control: "This is a video from me, come and see", then when the link in the content A of the control is empty, the content C + the content D of the control will be used as the target content; when the link in the content A of the control is not empty, the link will be used as the target content.

[0131] Step 305: Determine the control content that matches the arithmetic expression.

[0132] The control content that conforms to the arithmetic expression is the control content that participates in the arithmetic logic of the arithmetic expression. For example, if the control content obtained from the target control includes control content A, control content B, and control content C, and the arithmetic expression is control content A + control content C, then control content A and control content C are the control content that conforms to the arithmetic expression.

[0133] Step 306: Determine the target content based on the arithmetic expression and the content of the control that conforms to the arithmetic expression.

[0134] Optionally, based on the arithmetic expression, the target content in the control content is determined after performing operations such as combining and selecting the control content that conforms to the arithmetic expression.

[0135] As illustrated in Table 2 above, for a control named Textview, the content extracted via extraction path a includes at least control content A and control content B. The arithmetic expression determines the final target content as control content A + control content B. For a control named Button, the content extracted via extraction path b includes at least control content C. The arithmetic expression determines the final target content as control content C. For a control named Listview, the content extracted via extraction path c includes at least control content A, control content C, and control content D. In the arithmetic expression, null indicates an empty parameter. According to the arithmetic expression, when control content A is not empty, control content A is determined as the final target content; when control content A is empty, control content C + control content D is determined as the final target content.

[0136] Step 307: Extract the target content from the target control based on the content extraction path.

[0137] Optionally, if the extraction rules do not include the above arithmetic expression, the content of the control is extracted from the target control according to the content extraction path, and the extracted control content is used as the target content.

[0138] Optionally, the content extraction path can also be a path for extracting specified target content, and the specified target content can be extracted from the target control according to the content extraction path.

[0139] Optionally, since applications typically have multiple versions, and each version may use different protocols, the same content extraction path may display different path content in different versions. Therefore, for the same content extraction path and different versions, an extraction path table is included, which includes the correspondence between content extraction paths and version numbers. Optionally, if the target control is a control in the target application, and the target application has a corresponding version number, and the content extraction path is the path corresponding to the version number in the extraction path table, then before extracting the target content from the target control based on the content extraction path, it is also necessary to determine the version number of the target application and look up the path corresponding to the version number in the extraction path table as the content extraction path.

[0140] For illustrative purposes, please refer to Table 3 below for the extraction path table:

[0141] Table 3

[0142]

[0143] Optionally, when the target control is the topmost control corresponding to the selection operation, the content extraction path is recursively performed starting from the topmost control and proceeding downwards layer by layer. This recursion is used to retrieve the content of the target control and the content of controls located below it.

[0144] It is worth noting that steps 304 to 306 and step 307 can be performed only, or only step 307 can be performed.

[0145] In summary, the content extraction method provided in this embodiment extracts content from the target control through extraction rules. Since the extraction rules correspond to the control class name of the target control, that is, the extraction rules are adaptively set for the control class name of the target control, it can achieve more targeted extraction of target content from the target control, avoiding the problem of less effective content extracted due to extracting only one type of content.

[0146] The content extraction method provided in this embodiment selects or combines the control content obtained from the target control through arithmetic expressions. This allows for the extraction of control content from the target control that better meets the user's requirements, resulting in target content that better meets the user's needs and increasing the proportion of effective content extracted.

[0147] In an optional embodiment, the extraction rules are sent from the server to the terminal. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a content extraction method provided by another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the content extraction method includes:

[0148] Step 401: The server receives the configuration operation corresponding to the target control class name.

[0149] Optionally, the target control class name is the control class name corresponding to the target application.

[0150] Alternatively, the configuration operation that the server typically receives corresponding to the target control class name is an operation in which the administrator inputs code instructions through an external input device, which are used to configure the target control class name.

[0151] Optionally, the target control class name can be a generic class name, such as the generic class name of a text box being "textview", the generic class name of a list being "listview", and the generic class name of a button control being "button". Optionally, the target control class name can also be a custom class name defined by the application developer, which is different from the generic class name. For example, in an application, the class name of a text box is customized as "com.tencent.mm.plugin.sns.ui.widget.TextView". Then, the administrator can obtain the custom class name of the control in the application by debugging the application and perform corresponding configuration operations for the custom class name.

[0152] Step 402: The server generates extraction rules corresponding to the target control class name based on the configuration operation.

[0153] Optionally, the extraction rule is used to extract the target correspondence in the target control, and the control class name of the target control is the target control class name mentioned above.

[0154] Optionally, the extraction rule includes at least one of arithmetic expressions and content extraction paths. Optionally, the extraction rule generated based on the configuration operation includes at least one of the following:

[0155] First, the extraction rule includes an arithmetic expression, which is used to select and extract the content of the control in the target control. The content of the control includes the target content. The configuration operation includes a formula configuration operation, which generates an arithmetic expression based on the formula configuration operation, and generates an extraction rule corresponding to the class name of the target control based on the arithmetic expression.

[0156] Second, the extraction rule includes a content extraction path, which is a path used to extract the content of the control in the target control. The content of the control includes the target content. The configuration operation includes a path configuration operation, which generates a content extraction path based on the path configuration operation, and generates an extraction rule corresponding to the class name of the target control based on the content extraction path.

[0157] It is worth noting that when configuring the content extraction path, the version of the target application also needs to be considered. That is, the extraction path corresponding to the same control class name may be different for different version numbers. The content extraction path is one of the paths in the extraction path table. Therefore, when configuring the content extraction path, first determine the version number of the target application, store the correspondence between the content extraction path and the version number in the extraction path table, and generate the extraction rules corresponding to the target control class name based on the extraction path table.

[0158] Third, the extraction rule includes an arithmetic expression and a content extraction path. The extraction rule is generated based on the configuration methods for the arithmetic expression in the first case and the content extraction path in the second case. It is worth noting that when the content extraction path corresponds to different version numbers, the arithmetic expression also differs based on that version number, and the arithmetic expression corresponds to the content extraction path. For illustration, the expression for the target control class name A and its extraction rule is as follows:

[0159] A, [list] path, [list] content

[0160] Here,

list

list

[0161] As an illustration, the expression for the control class name and extraction rule is in the form of:

[0162] "com.tencent.mm.plugin.sns.ui.widget.SnsPostDescPreloadTextView","fZf / Text View / text / Object / vXw / CharSequence,"fYV / TextView / text / Object / vWU / CharSeque nce,miuiCE_fZf / TextView / text / Object / vXw / CharSequence+fYV / TextView / text / Ob ject / vWU / CharSequence, where "com.tencent.mm.plugin.sns.ui.widget.SnsPost DescPreloadTextView" is the control class name, "fZf / TextView / text / Object / vXw / CharSequence," fYV / TextView / text / Object / vWU / CharSequence, is the extraction path, miuiCE_fZf / Text View / text / Object / vXw / CharSequence+fYV / TextView / text / Object / vWU / CharSeque nce is an arithmetic expression.

[0163] The correspondence between extraction rules and control class names is shown in Table 4 below:

[0164] Table 4

[0165]

[0166] Step 403: The server sends the extraction rule to the terminal with the target application installed.

[0167] Optionally, after generating the extraction rules, the server sends the extraction rules to the terminal where the target application is installed.

[0168] Alternatively, the server may send the extraction rule to the terminal with the target application installed after the extraction rule has been regenerated due to a version update of the target application.

[0169] Optionally, the server can also send extraction rules to terminals of a specific brand.

[0170] Optionally, when the target control in the target application has a custom class name, the server can send the extraction rules only to the terminal where the target application is installed; when the target control in the target application has a generic class name, the server can send the extraction rules to any terminal.

[0171] Step 404: The terminal receives the extraction rules sent by the server.

[0172] The server is used to receive configuration operations corresponding to the control class name and generate the extraction rules based on the configuration operations.

[0173] Step 405: The terminal receives the selection operation on the target control.

[0174] This selection action instructs the operating system to extract the target content from the target control.

[0175] Optionally, the target control is displayed in the terminal's user interface, where the user can select it.

[0176] Step 406: The terminal determines the control class name of the target control based on the selected operation.

[0177] Optionally, when the selection operation is a long press, pressure touch, or click operation to select a target control, the method for determining the control class name of the target control includes at least the following: after receiving the selection operation, the operating system obtains the coordinate position of the selection operation in the user interface, determines the selected target control based on the coordinate position, and obtains the control class name of the target control from the target application corresponding to the target control; when the selection operation is an operation completed by entering a keyboard shortcut, the method for determining the control class name of the target control includes at least the following: the operating system pre-stores the correspondence between the shortcut keys corresponding to the user interface where the target control is located and the triggered operations, searches the correspondence based on the received shortcut key to find the selection operation corresponding to the shortcut key as a selection operation of the target control, and obtains the control class name of the target control from the target application corresponding to the target control.

[0178] Step 407: The terminal determines the extraction rule corresponding to the control class name as the extraction rule for the target control.

[0179] Optionally, this extraction rule is used to determine how the target content is extracted.

[0180] Optionally, the extraction rule includes at least one of an arithmetic expression and a content extraction path; that is, the extraction rule may include one of an arithmetic expression and a content extraction path, or it may include both an arithmetic expression and a content extraction path.

[0181] In this embodiment, the extraction rule includes an arithmetic expression and a content extraction path as an example for illustration.

[0182] Step 408: The terminal obtains the control content in the target control.

[0183] Optionally, the operating system can extract the content of the control by using the content extraction path corresponding to the control class name of the target control.

[0184] Optionally, the operating system pre-stores the correspondence between control class names and extraction rules. Please refer to Table 2 or Table 4 above for the correspondence.

[0185] Step 409: The terminal determines the control content that matches the arithmetic expression.

[0186] The control content that conforms to the arithmetic expression is the control content that participates in the arithmetic logic of the arithmetic expression. For example, if the control content obtained from the target control includes control content A, control content B, and control content C, and the arithmetic expression is control content A + control content C, then control content A and control content C are the control content that conforms to the arithmetic expression.

[0187] Step 410: The terminal determines the target content based on the arithmetic expression and the content of the control that conforms to the arithmetic expression.

[0188] Optionally, based on the arithmetic expression, the target content in the control content is determined after performing operations such as combining and selecting the control content that conforms to the arithmetic expression.

[0189] As illustrated in Table 2 above, for a control named Textview, the content extracted via extraction path a includes at least control content A and control content B. The arithmetic expression determines the final target content as control content A + control content B. For a control named Button, the content extracted via extraction path b includes at least control content C. The arithmetic expression determines the final target content as control content C. For a control named Listview, the content extracted via extraction path c includes at least control content A, control content C, and control content D. In the arithmetic expression, null indicates an empty parameter. According to the arithmetic expression, when control content A is not empty, control content A is determined as the final target content; when control content A is empty, control content C + control content D is determined as the final target content.

[0190] In summary, the content extraction method provided in this embodiment extracts content from the target control through extraction rules. Since the extraction rules correspond to the control class name of the target control, that is, the extraction rules are adaptively set for the control class name of the target control, it can achieve more targeted extraction of target content from the target control, avoiding the problem of less effective content extracted due to extracting only one type of content.

[0191] The content extraction method provided in this embodiment selects or combines the control content obtained from the target control using arithmetic expressions, thereby extracting control content from the target control that better meets the user's requirements and obtaining target content that better meets the user's requirements.

[0192] The content extraction method provided in this embodiment, when the target application includes different version numbers, lists the content extraction path and arithmetic expression for different version numbers, to avoid the inability to obtain control content in the new version of the target application due to version updates.
