Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the field of the Internet, and more specifically, to an information search method, an apparatus, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium, a computer program product, and a computer program product. Background Art

[0002] When a user searches for information on the client, the client usually needs to display two pieces of information to the user: one part of the information is the recommended words associated with the search words entered by the user, and the other part of the information is the search results obtained through the search engine on the server. Therefore, the client needs to send requests to the recommended word service function entity used to determine the recommended words and the pre-fetch service function entity used to pre-fetch search results in the server system based on the search words entered by the user, and display the recommended words obtained from the recommended word service function entity to the user as quickly as possible, and display the pre-fetched search results to the user when the user issues a search instruction. If the user changes the search word, the client still needs to send two requests as described above. That is, every time the user enters a search word, it needs to be implemented by sending two requests and receiving two responses. Therefore, the traditional information search method wastes the client's computing resources and network bandwidth. Summary of the invention

The first response message indicates a recommendation word result corresponding to the query information to be used for display to the user, and the second response message indicates a pre-fetched search result corresponding to the query information to be used for display to the user.

[0022] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein, which are instead provided for a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are only for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0023] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0024] As described above, the traditional information search method needs to execute two requests for sending and receiving in response to each input of the user's search, which occupies the computing resources of the user device of the client and increases the network bandwidth overhead. For example, if the user wants to enter the query information "Beijing weather", then the user may enter one by one during the input process: "Beijing", "day", "air". When the user enters "Beijing", the client will encapsulate the query information "Beijing" into a recommendation word request message and send the message to the recommendation word service function entity on the server system side, and the client will also encapsulate the query information "Beijing" into a pre-fetch service request message and send the message to the pre-fetch service function entity on the server system side. After that, the client will show the user the recommendation word results related to "Beijing" based on the response message. On the other hand, the client will also save the pre-fetch search results related to "Beijing". Before the user issues a search instruction, the client will send two request messages and receive two response messages corresponding to the request every time the user adds or changes the query information. Therefore, there is still room for optimization in this search process.

[0025] As mentioned above, there is an urgent need for an information search method to quickly, efficiently and at a low cost complete the process of displaying recommended words and pre-fetching search results for query information input by a user.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an information search scheme is proposed. In this scheme, a transit function entity can be set at the server end to receive a request message from a client, and then the transit function entity will ask the corresponding service function entity for a recommendation result and a pre-fetched search result based on the request message, and return the two results to the client in the form of a response message corresponding to the request message. For example, the recommendation service function entity located at the server end can generate a recommendation response message in response to receiving a recommendation request message sent by the client, and the response message can be returned to the client in a chunked transmission (chunked) encoding mode in the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP); in addition, the recommendation service function entity also sends a pre-fetch service request message to the pre-fetch service function entity based on the recommendation request message, and after receiving the pre-fetch service response message returned by the pre-fetch service function entity, the recommendation service function entity returns the pre-fetched search result to the client in a chunked transmission encoding mode in the Hypertext Transfer Protocol.

[0027] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which various embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. Figure 1As shown, the example environment 100 includes a client 110 and a server system 120. In some embodiments, the client 110 may include, but is not limited to, a personal computer, a server computer, a handheld or laptop device, a mobile device (such as a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant PDA, a media player, etc.), a multi-processor system, a consumer electronics product, a minicomputer, a mainframe computer, a distributed computing environment including any one of the above systems or devices, etc. In addition, in addition to the traditional arrangement, the server system 120 can also be located in the cloud and respond based on the request message from the client 110.

[0028] For a more detailed description Figure 1 The message transmission process is now referred to Figure 2 Describes the message transmission between the client and server systems. Figure 2 A high-level pipeline diagram of a process for searching for information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 As shown, after receiving the query information (i.e., query) input by the user, the client 210 may generate a request message containing the query information, and send the request message to the server system 220 at 201. Thereafter, at 203, the server system 220 may determine the keyword results associated with the query information based on the request message. At 205, the server system 220 may return the recommendation word results as a first response message to the client 210. In addition, at 207, the server system 220 may also determine the pre-fetched search results associated with the query information based on the request message, and at 209, the server system 220 may return the pre-fetched search results as a second response message to the client 210.

[0029] It should be understood that the process 203 of determining the recommendation word result and the process 207 of determining the pre-fetched search result by the server system 220 are not limited to Figure 2 The order shown is executed, that is, except Figure 2 In the case of sequential execution shown in FIG. 2 , process 203 and process 207 can be executed in parallel. In addition, process 205 of returning a first response message can be executed immediately after determining the recommendation word result, and process 209 of returning a second response message can be executed immediately after determining the pre-fetched search result. In this way, client 210 can display the recommendation word result to the user, and display the pre-fetched search result to the user based on the user's instruction.

[0030] The technical solution described above is only used as an example, and does not limit the present invention. It should be understood that the client 210 and the server system 220 can also be arranged in other ways and connection relationships. Figure 3 Let's describe the information search process in more detail.

[0031] Figure 3 FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a process 300 for searching information based on a server system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the process 300 may be performed on a server system. Figure 1 The server system 120 and Figure 2 The server system 220 is implemented. Figure 3 The information search process 300 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is described. For ease of understanding, the specific examples mentioned in the following description are exemplary and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0032] At 302, the server system 220 may receive a request message from the client 210. It should be understood that the request message contains query information. Here, the request message is not a "search request message" in the traditional technical solution, because the request message is not triggered by the user's search action, but may be triggered by the user's action of inputting query information. It should also be understood that the query information may be at least a part of the query item input by the user. As an example, when a user wants to search for information about "Beijing weather", if the user first enters "Beijing" in the search bar, "Beijing" is the query information. When the user subsequently enters "day", the query item "Beijing day" is the query information. The client 210 is configured to display the recommended word results such as "Beijing weather", "Beijing sports" and the like to the user based on the query information input by the user in real time. And the client 210 is also configured to obtain pre-fetched search results from the server system 220 side based on the query information input by the user in real time, so that when the user triggers the search instruction or the user selects a recommended word result from the displayed multiple recommended word results for search, the client 210 can display the pre-fetched search results to the user.

[0033] At 304 , the server system 220 may determine, based on the request message, recommendation word results and pre-fetched search results corresponding to the query information.

[0034] In some embodiments, in order to determine the recommendation word results and pre-fetch search results, the server system 220 may generate a recommendation word request message and a pre-fetch service request message associated with the query information based on the request message. It should be understood that the server system 220 may include multiple functional entities. As an example, Figure 4 Another high-level pipeline diagram of the process for searching for information according to the above-described embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4In the example, the server system 420 may include a transfer function entity 421, a recommendation service function entity 422, and a pre-fetch service function entity 423. Therefore, at 401, the transfer function entity 421 in the server system 420 may be configured to receive a request message containing query information from the client 410, and generate a recommendation request message and a pre-fetch service request message corresponding to the query information.

[0035] Afterwards, the transfer function entity 421 sends a recommendation word request message and a pre-fetch service request message to the recommendation word service function entity 422 and the pre-fetch service function entity 423 in the server system 420, respectively. As an example, at 402, the transfer function entity 421 sends the recommendation word request message to the recommendation word service function entity 422. After that or at the same time, at 403, the transfer function entity 421 sends the pre-fetch service request message to the pre-fetch service function entity 422.

[0036] In addition, the transfer function entity 421 is also configured to receive a recommendation response message from the recommendation service function entity 422 and a pre-fetch service response message from the pre-fetch service function entity 423. As an example, at 404, the recommendation service function entity 422 determines the recommendation result based on the recommendation request message, and at 405, the recommendation service function entity 422 transmits the recommendation result as a recommendation response message to the transfer function entity 421. After or at the same time as the process 404, at 407, the pre-fetch service function entity 423 determines the pre-fetch search result based on the pre-fetch service request message, and at 408, the pre-fetch service function entity 423 transmits the pre-fetch search result as a pre-fetch service response message to the transfer function entity 421. In this way, by setting the transfer function entity 421 in the server system 420, the present disclosure can realize that the client can receive two results determined by the server system 420 by sending a request message once, thereby saving bandwidth overhead on the client side.

[0037] It should be understood that the recommendation word response message includes the recommendation word result corresponding to the query information, and the pre-fetch service response message includes the pre-fetch search result corresponding to the query information. Figure 4 The order shown is executed, that is, except Figure 4 The above processes may be executed in other orders, for example, processes 402 and 403 are executed in parallel, processes 404 and 407 are executed in parallel, processes 405 and 408 are executed in parallel, etc.

[0038] In addition, in some embodiments, the request message may include a recommendation word request message, so the recommendation word service function entity may partially replace the above-mentioned transfer function entity. Figure 5FIG. 4 shows another high-level pipeline diagram of a process for searching for information according to the above-described embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 In the example, the server system 520 may include a recommendation service function entity 521 and a pre-fetch service function entity 522. Therefore, at 501, the recommendation service function entity 521 in the server system 520 may be configured to receive a recommendation request message including query information from the client 510. Then, at 502, the recommendation service function entity 521 determines a recommendation result based on the recommendation request message.

[0039] In addition, a pre-fetch service request message can be generated based on the recommendation word request message, and a pre-fetch service response message can be generated based on the pre-fetch service request message, and the pre-fetch service response message includes the pre-fetch search results corresponding to the query information. As an example, at 504, the recommendation word service function entity 521 sends the pre-fetch service request message to the pre-fetch service function entity 522, and at 505, the pre-fetch service function entity 522 determines the pre-fetch search results, and then at 506, the pre-fetch search results are returned to the recommendation word service function entity 521 as a pre-fetch service response message. In this way, by setting the recommendation word service function entity in the server system 520 as a transit function entity, the present disclosure can realize that the client can receive two results determined by the server system 520 by sending a request message once, thereby saving bandwidth overhead on the client side.

[0040] At 306, the server system 220 may return the recommendation word result as a first response message to the request message to the client 210. As an example, Figure 4 As shown, at 406, the transfer function entity 421 returns the recommendation result as a recommendation response message to the client 410. As another example, Figure 5 As shown, at 503 , the recommendation word service function entity 521 returns the recommendation word result as a recommendation word response message to the client 510 .

[0041] At 308, the server system 220 may return the pre-fetched search results as a second response message to the request message to the client 210. As an example, Figure 4 As shown, at 409, the transfer function entity 421 returns the pre-fetch search result as a pre-fetch service response message to the client 410. As another example, Figure 5 As shown, at 507 , the recommendation word service function entity 521 returns the pre-fetched search results to the client 510 as a pre-fetch service response message.

[0042] Preferably, the first response message and the second response message of the request message are transmitted sequentially based on the block transfer encoding method in the hypertext transfer protocol. That is, the number of response messages of the request message can be one, the first response message includes the start information of the response message of the request message, and the second response message includes the end information of the response message. Therefore, the client 210 only needs to receive one response message to obtain the recommendation word results and pre-fetch the search results, thereby saving bandwidth resources on the client side.

[0043] Figure 6 A flowchart of a client-side process 600 for searching for information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is also shown. In some embodiments, the process 600 may be performed Figure 1 Client 110 and Figure 2 The client 210 is implemented. Figure 6 The information search process 600 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is described. For ease of understanding, the specific examples mentioned in the following description are exemplary and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0044] At 602, the client 210 may send a request message to the server system based on the query information input by the user. It should be understood that the request message contains the query information. Here, the request message is not the "search request message" in the traditional technical solution, because the request message is not triggered by the user's search action, but may be triggered by the user's action of inputting query information. As an example, when a user wants to search for information about "Beijing weather", if the user first enters "Beijing" in the search bar, "Beijing" is the query information. When the user subsequently enters "day", the query item "Beijing day" is the query information.

[0045] At 604, the client 210 may receive a first response message and a second response message to the request message from at least one service function entity in the server system 220. As an example, the first response message may be used to indicate a recommendation word result corresponding to the query information to be used for display to the user, and the second response message may be used to indicate a pre-fetched search result corresponding to the query information to be used for display to the user. As an example, the client 210 may display recommendation word results such as "Beijing Weather", "Beijing Sports", etc. to the user based on the query information input by the user in real time. And the client 210 is also configured to obtain pre-fetched search results from the server system 220 side based on the query information input by the user in real time, so that when the user triggers a search instruction or the user selects a recommendation word result from multiple displayed recommendation word results for search, the client 210 can display the pre-fetched search results to the user.

[0046] In some embodiments, the at least one service function entity may be a recommendation word service function entity or a pre-fetch service function entity, configured to provide a recommendation word service function or a pre-fetch service function. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one service function entity may also be a transit service function entity, configured to provide a forwarding service function. In some embodiments, the first response message and the second response message of the request message are transmitted sequentially based on a block transfer encoding method in a hypertext transfer protocol.

[0047] It should be understood that the request message may include addressing information indicating the addressing to at least one service function entity in the server system 220. For example, the request message may include address information to the recommendation word service function entity, so that when the transit function entity receives the request message, the request message may be directly forwarded to the recommendation word service function entity based on the address information. For another example, the request message may include address information to the pre-fetch service function entity, so that when the transit function entity receives the request message, the request message may be directly forwarded to the pre-fetch service function entity based on the address information. In this way, the working mechanism of the transit function entity may be defined on the client side, so that when the server system 220 includes other function entities in addition to the recommendation word service function entity and the pre-fetch service function entity, the client 210 may determine the destination function entity to send the request message by itself. In this way, the scalability of the server-side function entity is increased.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the client 210 receives a search instruction input by the user, for example, the user touches the "search" instruction, or the user selects one of the recommended word results, the client 210 needs to compare the pre-fetched search results with the query information. If the pre-fetched search results hit the query information, the pre-fetched search results are displayed to the user. If the pre-fetched search results do not hit the query information, the client 210 directly re-initiates the search request based on the query information. In this way, the accuracy of the search results can be improved and the user experience can be improved.

[0049] Through the above embodiments, the present disclosure provides an improved process for message communication between a client and a server system during an information search process. By executing the improved process of the present disclosure, the number of times a client sends a request can be reduced, thereby significantly reducing the system overhead and bandwidth of the client during the process of a user inputting query information. In addition, the present disclosure utilizes the chunked encoding method in the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to transmit two results determined by the server system side in one response message, thereby reducing the number of times a client receives a request, further reducing the system overhead and bandwidth of the client.

[0050] In addition, the present disclosure also provides a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which stores computer instructions for causing a computer to execute at least one process of the above embodiments. The present disclosure further provides a corresponding computer program product, which includes a computer program that can implement at least one process of the above embodiments.
