[0094] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 1 This diagram illustrates an application runtime environment provided in one embodiment of this application. The application runtime environment may include: terminal 10 and server 20.

[0096] Terminal 10 can be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, game console, e-book reader, multimedia playback device, wearable device, or PC (Personal Computer). Optionally, a chat application client can be installed on terminal 10.

[0097] In this embodiment, a chat application refers to any application capable of sending and receiving chat messages, such as social applications, instant messaging applications, shopping applications, game applications, office applications, live video streaming applications, etc. The chat messages can be between two user accounts, within a group, or between a user account and a system account (such as the account corresponding to an AI (Artificial Intelligence) question-and-answer system). This embodiment does not limit the scope of the application.

[0098] Server 20 provides a backend server for terminal 10 to support terminal 10 in implementing the various functions provided in the embodiments of this application. Optionally, server 20 may be a backend server for the chat application described above, providing backend services for the chat application client in terminal 10. Server 20 may be a single server, a server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or a cloud computing service center. Optionally, server 20 may provide backend services for multiple terminals 10 simultaneously.

[0099] Optionally, terminal 10 and server 20 can communicate with each other via network 30.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a message processing method for a chat application according to an embodiment of this application. This method can be applied to a terminal, where the executing entity for each step can be... Figure 1 The terminal 10 in the application runtime environment shown can also be a client of a chat application installed on terminal 10. The method may include the following steps (210-230):

[0101] Step 210: Display the chat session interface, which includes chat messages.

[0102] The chat session interface is a user interface used to display sent and received chat messages and to implement the function of sending and receiving chat messages. The chat session interface can be an interface for private chat between two user accounts, an interface for group chat between multiple user accounts, or an interface for sending and receiving messages between user accounts and other accounts (such as system accounts, public accounts, etc.).

[0103] The chat session interface includes chat messages. Optionally, chat messages include at least one of the following: text messages, image messages, and voice messages. The message content of a text message can be a single character, a word, a sentence, or a combination of multiple sentences. The message content of an image message can include one or more images. The message content of a voice message can include one or more audio clips. Optionally, message bubbles are displayed in the chat session interface, displaying the message content of the chat messages.

[0104] Optionally, chat messages also include file messages. File messages refer to messages corresponding to files transmitted by users through the chat session interface. The message content of a file message includes one or more files, which can be text, tables, images, or other types of files; this embodiment does not limit this. For example, user A sends a document file to user B through a chat application. Optionally, the chat session interface also includes information such as avatars and nicknames of the accounts participating in the chat session.

[0105] Step 220: In response to the content selection operation of the chat message, display the toolbar corresponding to the selected message content in the chat message.

[0106] The aforementioned content selection operation refers to the operation of selecting message content in a chat message. Users can select all message content in a chat message as the selected message content, or they can select a portion of the message content as the selected message content. Optionally, the content selection operation includes touch operations. The aforementioned touch operations include single-click operations, long-press operations, double-click operations, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit these types.

[0107] The toolbar described above is an interface element used to provide users with various operation tool options. Optionally, the toolbar can be displayed as a rectangle or a rounded rectangle, etc. Optionally, the toolbar can be displayed at the top of the chat session interface or next to the selected message content for user operation. Optionally, the toolbar includes a search tool option, which is a selection item corresponding to the search tool and used to implement the search function provided by the search tool.

[0108] Optionally, the toolbar may also include at least one of the following operation tool options: forwarding tool option, favorite tool option, delete tool option, citation tool option, copy tool option, translation tool option, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0109] Optionally, content selection can be performed on multiple chat messages. That is, the selected message content can include the content of a single chat message or the content of multiple chat messages.

[0110] Optionally, the toolbar will contain different operation tool options depending on the selected message content.

[0111] Step 230: In response to the selection operation for the search tool option, display the search interface corresponding to the selected message content.

[0112] Optionally, the above selection operation includes a click operation, but other operations are also possible, and this application embodiment does not limit this. The above search interface is used to implement a search function related to the selected message content. Optionally, the search interface includes recommended search results related to the selected message content. These recommended search results can be search results related to the keywords obtained by the chat application after intelligently identifying and extracting keywords from the selected message content. Recommended search results can include web pages, articles, public accounts, mini-programs, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0113] In one example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the chat session interface 30 displays chat message 31 and a toolbar 32 that appears after selecting chat message 31. After the user clicks the search tool option 33 in the toolbar 32, a search interface 34 is displayed, which shows search results 35 related to chat message 31.

[0114] In summary, the technical solution provided in this application enriches the operational functionality by displaying a toolbar corresponding to the selected message content after the user performs a content selection operation on the chat session interface, allowing the user to choose the desired operation. Furthermore, by setting a search tool option in the toolbar, an entry point for implementing the search function is provided. Users only need to select the message content in the chat session interface and click the search tool option to trigger the search function, without needing to switch applications or input keywords. This significantly improves the efficiency of performing search operations on certain content in chat messages and reduces operational complexity.

[0115] In an exemplary embodiment, the above method further includes the following steps:

[0116] Step 231: In response to the selection operation for the search tool option, determine multiple search terms based on the selected message content.

[0117] The search terms mentioned above are words from the selected message content that may serve as the subject of the search. Optionally, multiple search terms may include the words the user wants to search for.

[0118] Optionally, the process of determining multiple search terms based on the selected message content is as follows: The selected message content is segmented into words to obtain the segmentation results. This segmentation refers to dividing text content into characters or words. The segmentation results of the selected message content can be obtained through this process. These segmentation results include single characters or single words. Optionally, a neural network model can be used to segment the selected message content. This application embodiment does not limit the technical means used to implement the segmentation.

[0119] Optionally, the selected message content can be pre-filtered before word segmentation. This filtering process involves removing special characters or spaces from the selected message content. For example, filtering can remove emoticons or redundant symbols from the selected message content. This allows for subsequent word segmentation of the filtered selected message content, improving the accuracy of the segmentation process.

[0120] The following is an example of one possible word segmentation method, but word segmentation solutions are not limited to this method.

[0121] When chat messages include text messages, the text content within the text messages is segmented to obtain words. Optionally, the text content is segmented using Natural Language Processing (NLP).

[0122] When chat messages include image messages, the text content contained in the image messages is recognized; the recognized text content is then segmented into words. Optionally, the text content contained in the image messages is recognized through text recognition processing, and then the recognized text content is segmented as described above. Optionally, the text content contained in the image messages is recognized through Optical Character Recognition (OCR).

[0123] When chat messages include voice messages, speech recognition processing is performed on the voice messages to obtain the corresponding text content; the recognized text content is then segmented into words. Optionally, the text content contained in the voice information is obtained through speech recognition processing, and then the recognized text content is segmented as described above. Optionally, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is used to perform speech recognition processing on the voice messages to obtain the corresponding text content.

[0124] Optionally, after segmenting the selected message content into multiple words, each word is scored for recommendation, and words with recommendation scores higher than a threshold are selected as the search terms. The recommendation score can be calculated by considering multiple dimensions such as the search popularity of each word and the user's historical search records; this embodiment does not limit the specific calculation method used.

[0125] Step 232: Display multiple search terms determined based on the selected message content in the search interface corresponding to the selected message content.

[0126] Optionally, the search interface may include multiple search terms determined based on the selected message content.

[0127] Optionally, the search interface includes search results related to multiple search terms. Optionally, the search results related to multiple search terms are arranged according to their relevance to the multiple search terms. Optionally, the search results related to multiple search terms are arranged according to pageviews. Optionally, the arrangement of the search results related to multiple search terms can be changed as needed, such as for ad placement.

[0128] In an exemplary embodiment, one possible way to display search terms in the search interface is as follows:

[0129] 1. Detect the number of search terms.

[0130] 2. If the number of search terms determined based on the selected message content is greater than the threshold number, initialize and display the recommended search terms and search term display control of the threshold number in the search interface.

[0131] Optionally, the above threshold number is a preset value, such as 5 or 6, and this application embodiment does not limit it.

[0132] Optionally, the recommended search terms are determined from multiple search terms based on at least one condition, such as the user's search history (which could be the current user's search history or the search history of all users), semantic information of words, and contextual information. This improves interface simplicity, saves interface space, and ensures that normal user operation is not affected.

[0133] 3. In response to a trigger action on the search term display control, display other search terms in the search interface besides the recommended search terms.

[0134] In one example, such as Figure 4As shown, the search interface 40 displays multiple recommended search terms 41 and search results 42 corresponding to the multiple recommended search terms 41. The search interface 40 also displays a search term display control 43. When the user clicks the search term display control 43, other search terms 44 besides the recommended search terms 41 are displayed in the search interface 40. The search interface 40 also displays the text content 45 corresponding to the selected message content and a word selection control 46. The word selection control 46 can be used to trigger the display of the word selection interface (not shown in the figure). For a detailed description of the word selection interface and the word selection control 46, please refer to the following embodiment.

[0135] In one example, such as Figure 5 As shown, it provides an example of another search interface. Figure 5 (a) shows the search interface 51 and loading prompt icon 54 in the loading state; Figure 5 (b) Shows the search interface 52 and error message 55 in the error state; Figure 5 (c) shows the search interface 53 and refresh control 56 in refresh state.

[0136] Step 233: In response to the search trigger operation for the target search term among multiple search terms, display the search results interface corresponding to the target search term.

[0137] Optionally, the aforementioned target search term refers to any one of multiple search terms. The search results display interface includes search results related to the target search term, such as search results containing the target search term.

[0138] In one example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the chat session interface 30 displays chat messages 31 and a toolbar 32 that appears after selecting chat message 31. After the user clicks the search tool option 33 in the toolbar 32, a search interface 34 is displayed. The search interface 34 displays search results 35 related to chat message 31, as well as a search term display control 61. After the user clicks the search term display control 61, a search result display interface 62 corresponding to the target search term is displayed. The search result display interface 62 displays search results 63 related to the target search term.

[0139] In summary, the technical solution provided by the embodiments of this application, by displaying search terms in the search interface, allows users to perform touch operations on the search terms to achieve fast searching, reducing operational complexity and improving search efficiency and flexibility.

[0140] Please refer to Figure 7 This document illustrates a flowchart of a message processing method for a chat application according to another embodiment of this application. This method can be applied to a terminal, where the executing entity for each step can be... Figure 1 The terminal 10 in the application runtime environment shown can also be a client of a chat application installed on terminal 10. The method may include the following steps (701-708):

[0141] Step 701: Display the chat session interface, which includes chat messages.

[0142] Step 702: In response to the content selection operation of the chat message, display the toolbar corresponding to the selected message content in the chat message.

[0143] Optionally, the toolbar includes at least one operation tool option, such as a search tool option, a forward tool option, a favorite tool option, a delete tool option, a quote tool option, a copy tool option, a translation tool option, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0144] In an exemplary embodiment, step 702 includes the following two implementation methods:

[0145] Method 1: In response to the default selection action for chat messages, identify the message content that is selected by default in the chat messages; display the toolbar corresponding to the selected message content in the chat messages.

[0146] Optionally, the default selection operation mentioned above includes a long press operation, but other operations are also possible, and this application embodiment does not limit this. Optionally, the message content in the default selected state includes all message content corresponding to the chat message. In this case, the selected message content includes the message content in the default selected state.

[0147] Optionally, when the chat message includes text messages, the message content in the default selected state includes the entire text content of that text message. When the chat message includes image messages, the message content in the default selected state includes the entire text content obtained by image recognition processing of that image message. When the chat message includes voice messages, the message content in the default selected state includes the entire text content obtained by speech recognition processing of that voice message.

[0148] Method 2: In response to a manual selection action in a chat message, identify the message content that is manually selected in the chat message; display the toolbar corresponding to the selected message content in the chat message.

[0149] The aforementioned manual selection operation refers to manually adjusting the selected message content in a chat message. In this case, the selected message content includes message content in a manually selected state. Optionally, the manually selected message content includes multiple discontinuous segments of words within a single chat message. By directly selecting multiple discontinuous segments of words in the chat message and then performing the corresponding operation, the number of operation steps is effectively reduced, greatly improving the flexibility of the operation.

[0150] In an exemplary embodiment, the above-described content selection operation for chat messages also includes a multi-selection operation for multiple chat messages. In response to the multi-selection operation for multiple chat messages, the message content corresponding to the multiple chat messages is merged, and the merged message content is determined as the selected message content; a toolbar corresponding to the selected message content in the chat messages is displayed. In this case, the user can select multiple chat messages and then perform corresponding operations on the selected message content. For example, if a user receives two messages, namely "XX City XX District XX Street XX Community" and "Recipient XXX, Phone XXXX", the user can select both messages simultaneously and then perform corresponding operations on the merged message "XX City XX District XX Street XX Community, Recipient XXX, Phone XXXX", such as mailing or copying, improving operational flexibility.

[0151] In an exemplary embodiment, the chat session interface displays the text content corresponding to the chat message. In Method 2, the step of determining the message content in the chat message that is in a manually selected state in response to a manual selection operation on a chat message includes the following sub-steps:

[0152] a) Receive at least one selection operation for the text content corresponding to the chat message.

[0153] Each selection operation is used to select one item from the chat message. For example, the selection operation can be a swipe selection operation, where the user performs a swipe selection operation on the text content corresponding to the chat message, and the words that the swipe selection operation passes through are the selected message content, or the words between the start and end points of the swipe selection operation are the selected message content.

[0154] Optionally, if the chat message includes a text message, the text content corresponding to the chat message includes the text content contained in the text message.

[0155] Optionally, if the chat message includes an image message, the text content corresponding to the chat message includes the text content obtained by image recognition processing of the image message.

[0156] Optionally, if the chat messages include voice messages, the text content corresponding to the chat messages includes the text content obtained by performing speech recognition processing on the voice messages.

[0157] For example, when a chat message is an image or voice message, the corresponding text content can be displayed next to the message, as shown below. This allows users to manually select all or part of the message content as needed by performing the manual selection operation described above.

[0158] b. Determine the message content selected by at least one selection operation as the message content that is manually selected in the chat message.

[0159] Step 703: In response to the selection operation for the search tool option, the selected message content is segmented to obtain the segmented words of the selected message content.

[0160] Step 704: Identify multiple search terms among the words in the segmented text of the selected message content.

[0161] Step 705: Display the search interface corresponding to the selected message content. The search interface includes the aforementioned search terms.

[0162] The search interface is used to perform a search function related to the selected message content. Optionally, the search interface includes a word selection control, which triggers the display of the word selection interface. Optionally, the search interface includes search results related to the chat message. The search results related to the chat message include preliminary search results obtained after intelligent searching based on the chat message. The search interface corresponding to the selected message content can also be understood as a display interface for preliminary search results obtained after intelligent searching of key content in the chat message. Optionally, if the chat message does not contain key content, the above intelligent search operation is not performed, and the search results are not displayed in the search interface.

[0163] Step 706: In response to a specified trigger operation on the search interface, display the word selection interface corresponding to the selected message content.

[0164] Optionally, the aforementioned specified triggering operation can be a triggering operation for the word selection control in the search interface. Of course, in some other embodiments, it can also be a triggering operation for a specified area in the search interface, such as when the user clicks on the specified area to trigger the display of the word selection interface. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0165] The word selection interface includes words obtained after segmenting the selected message content. Optionally, the word selection interface can be a standalone interface or a window. For example, the word selection interface may be displayed above the search interface, superimposed on top of it. Optionally, the word selection interface may be a floating window, displayed above the search interface, which can be dragged and moved by the user.

[0166] Optionally, keywords and non-keywords are determined from the selected message content. Keywords are displayed in the word selection interface, while non-keywords are not. Keywords include words that reflect user intent or contain key information, such as the subject, verb, and noun in a sentence. Non-keywords include words without actual meaning or that do not affect user understanding, such as "um" or "ah." Optionally, non-keywords include modal particles. Optionally, non-keywords do not contain key information. After determining the keywords and non-keywords, the keywords are displayed in the word selection interface or search interface. By actively excluding non-keywords, user interface space is saved, user intent is more accurately analyzed, and the user experience is improved.

[0167] Optionally, the step of determining the keywords and non-keywords in the selected message content can be performed after step 703. In this case, the keywords can be displayed in the search interface, while the non-keywords are not displayed in the search interface.

[0168] Step 707: In response to the word selection operation on the word selection interface, determine the target word that is selected.

[0169] Optionally, the word selection operation is a sliding selection operation. In an exemplary embodiment, one implementation of step 707 is as follows: In response to a sliding selection operation on the word selection interface, the words traversed by the sliding trajectory of the sliding selection operation are determined as target words in the selected state.

[0170] A swipe trajectory refers to the path traversed by an object (such as a user's finger) performing a swipe selection operation. When a terminal receives a swipe selection operation, it can record the position coordinates of the touch points in real time; the swipe trajectory is thus formed by the sequential connection of multiple touch points. The words traversed by the swipe trajectory refer to the areas where the display area of ​​the words intersects with the swipe trajectory.

[0171] Step 708: Perform a search operation related to the target words.

[0172] For example, a search is performed to find search results containing the target words, and the search results are displayed. Optionally, the search results display interface mentioned in the above embodiment displays the search results obtained from the above search, and the target words are displayed in the text editing box (i.e., the search box) in the search results display interface, and the target words are editable text. In this way, the needs of users to modify the target words and then search again when they are not satisfied with the search results can be effectively met, making the search operation more flexible.

[0173] Optionally, search keywords are determined based on target words, and search results related to the search keywords are obtained. When there are multiple target words, in one example, the search keywords can be determined based on the target words and a preset logical relationship, such as an "AND" relationship, in which case the search results need to include all target words. In another example, the search keywords can be obtained by concatenating multiple target words in a set order. For example, if the target words include "game" and "video," concatenating these two target words yields "game video" as the search keyword. Furthermore, the aforementioned set order can be the selection order of the target words or the arrangement order of the target words in the word selection interface; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0174] In one example, such as Figure 8 As shown, the chat session interface 30 displays chat messages 31 and a toolbar 32 that appears after selecting chat message 31. After the user clicks the search tool option 33 in the toolbar 32, a search interface 34 is displayed. The search interface 34 displays search results 35 related to chat message 31, a search term display control 61, and a word selection control 81. When the user clicks the word selection control 81, a word selection interface 82 is displayed, where the user can select a target word 83 by sliding a selection. Then, the user clicks the search button 84 to trigger a search operation related to the target word 83.

[0175] In an exemplary embodiment, if step 702 is performed in mode 2, a search results display interface corresponding to the selected message content in the chat message is displayed in response to the selection operation for the search tool option.

[0176] like Figure 9 As shown, the chat session interface 30 displays chat messages 31. After the user selects word 91, a toolbar 32 is displayed. After the user clicks the search tool option 33 in the toolbar 32, a search results display interface 62 for word 91 is displayed. The search results display interface 62 displays search results 63 related to word 91. The user can also edit word 91 in the text editing box 92 in the search results display interface 62.

[0177] In summary, the technical solution provided by the embodiments of this application allows users to quickly select the desired search terms to trigger the corresponding search operation by displaying multiple search terms determined based on the selected message content in the search interface, without requiring users to manually select and input search terms, which is efficient and fast.

[0178] In addition, if users want to conduct further searches, the word segmentation results of the selected message content can be displayed in the word selection interface. Users can also select target words in the word selection interface to perform corresponding search operations on the target words. This enables flexible and customized selection of search terms and better meets the actual search needs of users.

[0179] Please refer to Figure 10 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a processing method for a chat application according to another embodiment of this application. This method can be applied to a terminal, where the executing entity for each step can be... Figure 1 The terminal 10 in the application runtime environment shown can also be a client of a chat application installed on terminal 10. The method may include the following steps (1001-1005):

[0180] Step 1001: Display the chat session interface, which includes chat messages.

[0181] Step 1002: In response to the content selection operation for the chat message, determine the selected message content in the chat message.

[0182] The selected message content mentioned above can be either message content that is selected by default in the chat message or message content that is manually selected in the chat message. For details, please refer to the description in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0183] Optionally, in response to a content selection action on a chat message, a toolbar is displayed, which may include at least one action tool option, such as a search tool option.

[0184] Step 1003: Display the word selection interface corresponding to the selected message content.

[0185] The word selection interface includes words obtained after segmenting the selected message content.

[0186] Optionally, step 1003 above is performed in response to a selection of a search tool option in the toolbar. By directly displaying the word selection interface, the user's operation steps are simplified, and the operation complexity is reduced.

[0187] Step 1004: In response to the word selection operation on the word selection interface, determine the target word that is selected.

[0188] Optionally, the word selection operation is a sliding selection operation. The sliding trajectory formed by the sliding selection operation is determined by the starting position, passing position, and ending position of the sliding selection operation. Optionally, in response to the sliding selection operation on the words displayed in the word selection interface, the display style of the selected target word is changed. Optionally, the selected target word is highlighted. The aforementioned selected target word is the word selected by the user through the sliding selection operation. Of course, the method of selecting target words is not limited to the sliding selection operation; it can also be achieved through clicking or other operations, which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0189] Optionally, the words traversed by the sliding trajectory are identified as the target words in the selected state. Determining the selected target words by the words traversed by the sliding trajectory is more convenient and faster, and avoids selecting words outside the sliding trajectory, improving the flexibility and accuracy of selecting multiple discontinuous word segments while reducing operational complexity and better aligning with user habits. From a technical implementation perspective, it is also simpler. Optionally, a single sliding selection operation can determine one word, or multiple consecutive or discontinuous words.

[0190] In one possible implementation, the sliding trajectory may include multiple segments. When the sliding trajectory includes multiple segments, the words traversed by each segment are determined; the target words in the selected state are determined; wherein, the target words include the words traversed by each segment of the sliding trajectory.

[0191] Optionally, users can perform multiple swipe selection operations in the word selection interface. Optionally, the word selection interface can support users performing multiple swipe selection operations and record the resulting multiple swipe trajectories. Optionally, multiple swipe selection operations can determine multiple segments of words. In this method, users can simultaneously select multiple non-contiguous words in a text as target words, and then perform corresponding operations on the target words, such as a search operation.

[0192] Step 1005: Perform the corresponding operation on the target words.

[0193] Optionally, the operation performed in step 1005 above includes at least one of the following operation methods:

[0194] Operation Method 1: Perform a search operation on the target words;

[0195] Operation Method 2: Perform a forwarding operation targeting the target words;

[0196] Operation Method 3: Perform a sharing operation on the target words;

[0197] Method 4: Add the target words to your favorites list;

[0198] Operation Method 5: Perform a copy operation on the target words;

[0199] Operation Method Six: Perform translation operations on the target words;

[0200] Operation Method 7: Perform document creation operation for the target words.

[0201] In an exemplary embodiment, after step 1004, a text editing box is displayed in the word selection interface, and the following step is further included: displaying the target word in the text editing box. That is, the text editing box includes the target word. The text editing box refers to a control that allows text editing. Optionally, the target word in a selected state is displayed in the text editing box, and the selected target word is editable text. In the text editing box, the user can edit the selected target word.

[0202] In response to editing operations performed on the target word, the modified target word is displayed in the text editing box. The aforementioned editing operations refer to actions such as adding or deleting from the target word. The modified target word refers to the word obtained after modifying the target word through editing operations.

[0203] Optionally, step 1005 above can be performed as follows: Perform the corresponding operation on the modified target word. Optionally, performing the corresponding operation on the modified target word can be achieved by long-pressing the modified target word, or by clicking the operation option in the word selection interface. By providing the function of further editing the selected target word, more user needs can be met, user operations can be simplified, and users do not need to edit the search text separately.

[0204] In an exemplary embodiment, after step 1004 described above, the following steps are also included:

[0205] 1. Display multiple operation options. Different operation options correspond to different operations. Optionally, the above multiple operation options can also be directly displayed in the word selection interface displayed in step 1003, without waiting for the target word to be selected before displaying them. Optionally, the above multiple operation options can be displayed in the word selection interface, or they can be displayed in a separate interface. Optionally, the above separate interface can be a pop-up window that displays multiple operation options.

[0206] 2. In response to a selection operation for a target operation option among multiple operation options, an operation corresponding to the target operation option is performed on the target word. The above-mentioned target operation option refers to any one of the multiple operation options. The user can select the target operation option according to their own intention, and then perform the operation corresponding to the target operation option to achieve the user's purpose. The above operation options include, but are not limited to, search operation options, forwarding operation options, sharing operation options, favorite operation options, copy operation options, translation operation options, and document creation operation options.

[0207] In an exemplary embodiment, the application program that performs the operation and the application program that displays the chat session interface are the same application program, that is, the above-mentioned chat application. The method flow provided in the embodiments of the present application is applied to the same application program. When the user wants to implement a certain function, there is no need to switch back and forth between multiple application programs, which can effectively reduce the operation complexity.

[0208] In one example, as Figure 11 shown, the chat session interface 30 displays chat messages 31 and a toolbar 32 displayed after the user selects the chat message 31. After the user clicks the search tool option 33 in the toolbar 32, a word selection interface 82 is displayed, and the user can select the target word 83 through a sliding selection operation in the word selection interface 82. In addition, a search control 84 is also displayed in the word selection interface 82.

[0209] In an exemplary embodiment, each word in the word selection interface is displayed with a word segmentation display effect. That is, there is a certain degree of differentiation between each word. For example, the word selection result includes multiple word options, and each word option displays a word. A word option can be a rectangular or other shaped interface element area.

[0210] In one example, as Figure 12 shown, the word selection interface 120 displays a word segmentation display effect. For example, the character "你" corresponds to a display box 121, indicating that "你" is a single character after word segmentation; the word "喝茶" corresponds to a display box 122, indicating that "喝茶" is a two-character word after word segmentation.

[0211] In summary, the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application performs word segmentation processing on the text content corresponding to the chat message, displays the word segmentation result in the word selection interface, and can select the target word from the word segmentation result through a word selection operation, thereby implementing the function of performing corresponding operations on the target word, improving the flexibility, convenience, and accuracy of performing operations on chat messages, reducing the operation complexity, and enriching the functions that can be performed in the chat session interface.

[0212] Please refer to Figure 13The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a search processing method provided in another embodiment of this application. This method can be applied to a terminal, where the executing entity for each step can be... Figure 1 The terminal 10 in the application runtime environment shown can be the operating system of the terminal 10, or the client of an application (such as a chat application or other application) installed and running on the terminal 10. This method may include the following steps (1301-1305):

[0213] Step 1301: Display the user interface.

[0214] The user interface can be any display interface shown on the terminal. For example, it can be the user interface displayed by the operating system, such as the desktop or settings interface, or it can be the user interface displayed by an application installed on the terminal, such as the chat session interface of a chat application, the game interface of a game application, the video playback interface of a video application, and so on.

[0215] Step 1302: In response to a content selection operation on the user interface, determine the selected interface content in the user interface.

[0216] This content selection operation is used to select interface content within the user interface. It should be noted that the interface content can be visible within the user interface, such as text; or it can be invisible within the interface, such as audio content.

[0217] The selected interface content can be all or part of the interface content. Furthermore, the selected interface content can include text, images, or voice, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0218] Step 1303: Display the word selection interface corresponding to the selected interface content. The word selection interface includes words obtained after word segmentation of the selected interface content.

[0219] When the selected interface content is in text format, the selected text content is directly segmented to obtain words.

[0220] When the selected interface content is in a non-text format (such as an image or voice), the non-text selected interface content is recognized to obtain the text selected interface content. Then, the text selected interface content is segmented to obtain words. The above recognition processing includes, but is not limited to, image recognition processing and voice recognition processing.

[0221] Step 1304: In response to the word selection operation on the word selection interface, determine the target word that is selected.

[0222] Word selection can be a sliding selection, a clicking selection, or other forms of selection. For example, in the case of a sliding selection, the words that the sliding path passes through are identified as the selected target words; or, the words within the closed shape formed by the sliding path are identified as the selected target words.

[0223] Step 1305: Perform the corresponding search operation for the target words.

[0224] Optionally, search keywords are determined based on target words, and search results related to the search keywords are obtained. When there are multiple target words, in one example, the search keywords can be determined based on the target words and a preset logical relationship, such as an "AND" relationship, in which case the search results need to include all target words. In another example, the search keywords can be obtained by concatenating multiple target words in a set order. For example, if the target words include "game" and "video," concatenating these two target words yields "game video" as the search keyword. Furthermore, the aforementioned set order can be the selection order of the target words or the arrangement order of the target words in the word selection interface; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0225] In summary, the technical solution provided in this application embodiment performs word segmentation on the selected interface content, displays the segmentation results in the word selection interface, and allows the user to select target words from the segmentation results through word selection operations, thereby realizing the function of performing search operations on target words. This significantly improves the efficiency of performing search operations on certain content in the interface and reduces the complexity of operations.

[0226] Below, in conjunction with Figure 14 This paper describes the methods for obtaining and displaying search results in the embodiments of this application. The process can be as follows:

[0227] 1. Perform intent analysis on the input search terms.

[0228] In one example, an intent classification model is used to determine the intent category corresponding to the search term. The intent classification model can be a pre-trained machine learning model used for intent classification. When training this model, training samples can be manually labeled and then used to train the model. The output of the intent classification model can include the weight of the search term in each intent category.

[0229] Optionally, the above-mentioned intent classification includes, but is not limited to, articles, public accounts, mini-programs, videos, etc., which can be set according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0230] 2. Perform result recall for each intent category to obtain the recall results for each category.

[0231] Optionally, recall methods include, but are not limited to, inverted index recall, term recall, vector recall, and pattern matching recall. Recall refers to retrieving search results related to the search term from a database.

[0232] 3. Sort the recall results for each category separately.

[0233] For the recall results of each category, a relevance ranking algorithm can be used to rank them within that category. For example, the recall results can be scored based on dimensions such as timeliness and relevance, and then ranked according to the scores.

[0234] 4. Combine the recall results from all categories and sort the results for output.

[0235] After sorting the recall results for each category, a few of the top-ranked results can be selected, and then further sorted. This sorting can also be done by comprehensively scoring the recall results based on dimensions such as timeliness, relevance, intent weighting, and diversity. Finally, a few results with scores above a threshold are selected as the final search results.

[0236] It should be noted that, in order to simplify the description, only a few exemplary embodiments are described in this application. The various embodiments of this application can be combined arbitrarily, that is, the relevant description in one embodiment can be applied to another embodiment, and this application does not limit this.
