[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0030] The information prompt method and electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0031] The information prompt method provided in this application can be applied to Figure 1 In the scenario shown, the specific Figure 1 Provide detailed explanation.

[0032] Figure 1 The figure is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of an information prompt method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0033] The information prompt method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the application scenario of inputting a URL on a web page, such as Figure 1 As shown, when a user opens a browser, a URL search bar 11 may be displayed, and the user may enter a URL in the URL search bar 11. The browser may be a browser set in any electronic device, such as a computer, a mobile phone, a tablet, and the like.

[0034] Based on the above application scenarios, when users enter a URL on a web page, they often cannot remember the complete URL, so they need to use system recommendations to complete the URL input. The system recommendations come from the user's historical browsing history. When the user starts typing, all URLs in the browsing history are displayed as system recommendations.

[0035] Since there are a large number of URLs recommended by the system and most of them are recommended in the form of complete URLs, it is difficult for users to find the URLs they need from the many URLs recommended by the system.

[0036] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an information prompt method, that is, receiving a first input from a user in a URL input control; in response to the first input, obtaining text information input in the URL input control; based on the text information, displaying at least one character group corresponding to a target URL unit, wherein the target URL unit is a URL unit associated with the position of the first character.

[0037] In this way, the URL is divided into multiple URL units and URL input prompts are performed in units of URL units, that is, based on the text information that the user has already entered in the URL input control, at least one character group recommended for input in the URL unit associated with the first character currently input is displayed to provide a prompt before the user's next URL input. In this way, the user can quickly perform the next input based on the recommended character group, gradually narrowing the URL recommendation range, thereby reducing the difficulty for the user to select a URL.

[0038] It should be noted that the information prompting method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by an information prompting device or a control module in the information prompting device for executing the information prompting method. In the embodiment of the present application, the information prompting method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the information prompting device executing the information prompting method as an example.

[0039] Figure 2 The figure is a flow chart of an information prompting method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the information prompt method may include the following steps:

[0041] Step 210: Receive a first input from a user in a URL input control.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the URL input control can be a search bar for the user to input the URL, and the URL input control can be used to display and receive the URL input by the user. The first input can be one or multiple characters input by the user at the same time. For example, the first input can be the user inputting a character "l" in the search bar, and of course, the user can also input four characters "mail" at the same time. In addition, the first input can also be the user selecting the input of the target character group recommended by the system.

[0043] Step 220: In response to the first input, obtain the text information input in the URL input control.

[0044] Here, when the first input is a character input by the user, the first character is the character input corresponding to the first input; when the first input is multiple characters input by the user at the same time, the first character may be the last character of the multiple characters; when the first input is an input in which the user selects a target character group recommended by the system, the first character may be the last character in the acquired text information.

[0045] In addition, the text information may include all characters that have been entered in the URL input control, including the first character corresponding to the first input. The text information may be used as a basis for displaying a character group for prompting the user to enter the next URL. For example, after the user enters "l" in the search bar, the system may obtain all text information "mail" that has been entered in the search bar, including "l".

[0046] Step 230: display at least one character group corresponding to the target website unit based on the text information.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the target URL unit may be a URL unit associated with the position of the first character. For example, the target URL unit may be the next URL unit after the first character, that is, the first URL unit, the target URL unit may also be the URL unit where the first character is located, that is, the second URL unit, and the target URL unit may also be the previous URL unit before the first character, that is, the third URL unit.

[0048] In addition, the character group can be used to prompt the user before the next URL input. Each character group may include at least one character, and the types of characters include but are not limited to numbers, letters, symbols, etc.

[0049] It should be noted that the URL unit can be a unit separated by a URL unit separator in a URL, and each URL can include multiple URL units. Here, the URL unit separator can be an identifier of the end of the URL unit, such as the symbol "." and the symbol " / ". For example, the URL www.sjmd.com / more / includes four URL units, and these four URL units include four character groups "www", "sjmd", "com" and "more" respectively, and two adjacent URL units are separated by the symbol "." and the symbol " / ".

[0050] Exemplarily, the system may search for multiple matching URLs for the text information currently entered in the search bar, and then recommend character groups corresponding to target URL units in these URLs to the user.

[0051] Based on this, in an optional implementation, after step 230, the information prompt method may further include:

[0052] receiving a second input of a target character group in at least one character group by a user;

[0053] In response to the second input, characters in the target character group are input into the URL input control.

[0054] Here, the target character group can be a character group that meets the user's needs among at least one character group prompted by the system, and the target character group can be used as a part of the website to be input into the website input control after being selected by the user. The second input can be an input for selecting the target character group from at least one character group, and the second input can be used to control the input of characters in the target character group into the website input control.

[0055] In addition, when the text information meets the preset error correction condition, the target character group may also be a character group obtained after error correction in the target URL unit.

[0056] Specifically, inputting the characters in the target character group into the URL input control may be to replace all the character groups in the URL unit where the first character is located, or to complete the characters after the first character based on the existing text information, or to directly input the target character group after the first character, or to replace the characters in the corresponding URL unit that are different from the characters included in the target character group.

[0057] In a specific example, suppose the user enters "mail.", the screen displays the system-recommended prompts such as "123", "134", "15680", etc., and the user clicks "123" and enters "123" into the search bar.

[0058] In this way, by receiving the second input from the user and inputting the characters in the target character group into the URL input control, the characters required by the user can be selected to complete the URL, which is convenient and fast and improves the user input efficiency.

[0059] In addition, in an optional implementation, after the characters in the target character group are input into the URL input control in response to the second input, the information prompt method may further include:

[0060] Enter the URL unit separator after the target character group in the URL input control.

[0061] Here, since each URL unit uses a URL unit separator as a unit end mark, after the target character group selected by the user is input into the URL input control, the URL unit separator can be automatically added.

[0062] In a specific example, if the URL unit separator is ".", after the user clicks "123" and enters "123" into the search bar, "." may be automatically entered.

[0063] In this way, by entering a URL unit separator after the target character group in the URL input control, it can be indicated that the user has completed the input of a URL unit, making it easier for the system to recommend at least one character group for the next URL unit for subsequent prompts.

[0064] Therefore, by dividing the URL into multiple URL units and providing URL input prompts in units of URL units, that is, based on the text information already entered by the user in the URL input control, at least one character group recommended for input in the URL unit associated with the first character currently input is displayed to provide prompts before the user's next URL input. In this way, the user can quickly perform the next input based on the recommended character group, gradually narrowing the URL recommendation range, thereby reducing the difficulty for the user to select a URL.

[0065] Based on the above steps 210-230, in a possible embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the above step 230 may specifically include: steps 2301-2303, wherein:

[0066] Step 2301, obtaining N first target URLs from M candidate URLs according to the text information.

[0067] Here, the text information can be matched with the prefix of the first target website, that is, the text information can be prefix-matched with the M candidate websites respectively, and the N websites with prefix matching are determined as the first target website, where M and N are positive integers, and M≥N.

[0068] In addition, the candidate URLs may include at least one of: URLs browsed in the user's history, URLs with a total number of hits exceeding a third preset value, and registered URLs, wherein the popular URLs, i.e., URLs with a total number of hits exceeding a third preset value, may be obtained by counting the browsing habits of users across the entire network, and the registered URLs may be obtained through the yellow pages of the entire network, and the candidate URLs may be used as a source of the N first target URLs. The first target URL may be a URL with the same prefix as the text information among the candidate URLs, and the first target URL may be used as a basis for the system to prompt the character group.

[0069] In a specific example, assuming that there are 30 candidate URLs, if the text information is "www.sjmd", all URLs prefixed with "www.sjmd" are obtained from the 30 candidate URLs as the first target URL, such as obtaining the URL www.sjmd.com. For another example, if the text information is "www.", all URLs prefixed with "www." are obtained from the 30 candidate URLs as the first target URL, such as obtaining the URL www.qwer.com and the URL www.sjmd.com.

[0070] Based on this, in an optional implementation manner, before step 2301, the information prompt method may further include:

[0071] Get M alternative URLs;

[0072] Delete the characters corresponding to the URL header in the alternative URL;

[0073] The candidate URL after the deletion operation is divided into K URL units according to the URL unit separator, and K character groups corresponding to the K URL units in the candidate URL are obtained.

[0074] Here, K is a positive integer. Exemplarily, each candidate URL may be divided into a plurality of URL units according to a URL unit separator, and the URL units may be used to obtain a character group corresponding to the URL unit.

[0075] In a specific example, before dividing the units, the URL header of the alternative URL, such as "http: / / " or "https: / / ", etc., can be removed first. This is because users usually directly enter the content after http: / / or https: / / when entering the URL. For example, the URL is https: / / www.sancun.com / more / , but users usually directly enter www.sancun.com / more / . Then, the alternative URL with the URL header removed can be divided into 4 URL units according to "." and " / ", and 4 character groups are obtained, such as: "www", "sancun", "com" and "more".

[0076] Thus, by deleting the URL header of the candidate URL and dividing the candidate URL into K URL units according to the URL unit separator, K character groups are obtained, which can be conveniently recommended to prompt users in units of URL units, making it easier for users to browse and select.

[0077] Step 2302, determine whether the first character is a URL unit separator, if so, execute step 2303; if not, execute step 2304;

[0078] Step 2303, displaying N character groups corresponding to the first URL unit in the N first target URLs.

[0079] Here, when the first character is a URL unit separator, the target URL unit may be the next URL unit after the first character, that is, the first URL unit. The character group corresponding to the first URL unit in the first target URL may be the character group in the URL unit corresponding to the first URL unit in the first target URL.

[0080] In a specific example, Figure 4 As shown, when "mail" has been entered, the user enters "." in the URL input control 41, the system will automatically search for URLs with the prefix "mail." as the first target URL to be recommended. If three first target URLs are searched, such as "mail.sancun.com / ", "mail.huzi.com / " and "mail.basi.com / ", the three character groups "sancun", "huzi" and "basi" in the URL unit corresponding to the first URL unit after "mail." in the three first target URLs will be displayed.

[0081] In addition, in another optional implementation, the above step 3302 may include:

[0082] Based on the text information, obtaining the number of user history inputs of the character group corresponding to the first URL unit in each first target URL;

[0083] According to the number of historical inputs by the user, N character groups corresponding to the first website unit in the N first target website are arranged and displayed.

[0084] Here, the number of historical user input times may be the number of times the user has previously input the character group corresponding to the first URL unit in the first target URL based on the text information, and the number of historical user input times may be used as a basis for arranging and displaying the N character groups.

[0085] In a specific example, 5 first target URLs have been obtained. At this time, the 5 character groups need to be arranged and displayed according to the number of times the user has previously entered the 5 character groups corresponding to the first URL unit in the first target URL in the search bar. For example, if a user enters "www.", the most frequently entered character group for the next first URL unit is "ccty", followed by "mmty", then "ccty" is arranged before "mmty" for display. Of course, a more complex sorting model can also be used here, which is not limited here.

[0086] In this way, by arranging and displaying the N character groups corresponding to the first URL unit in the N first target URLs according to the user's historical input times, the system can make the character groups recommended by the system more in line with the user's usage habits and more convenient for the user to complete the input of the next URL unit.

[0087] Step 2304, displaying N character groups corresponding to the second URL units in the N first target URLs.

[0088] Here, when the first character is a character other than the URL unit separator, the target URL unit may be the URL unit where the first character is located, that is, the second URL unit. The character group corresponding to the second URL unit in the first target URL may be the character group in the URL unit corresponding to the second URL unit in the first target URL.

[0089] In a specific example, Figure 5 As shown, when "mail" has been entered, the user enters "2" in the URL input control 41, the system will automatically search for URLs with the prefix "mail.2" as the first target URL to be recommended. If three first target URLs are searched, such as "mail.223.com / ", "mail.234.com / " and "mail.25680.com / ", the three character groups "223", "234" and "25680" in the URL unit corresponding to the second URL unit where "2" is located in the three first target URLs will be displayed.

[0090] In addition, in an optional implementation, the above step 2303 may include:

[0091] In the case where there is at least one URL unit separator before the first character, based on the character group input in the URL unit before the URL unit separator in the text information, obtaining the user's historical input times of the character group corresponding to the second URL unit in each first target URL;

[0092] According to the number of historical inputs by the user, N character groups corresponding to the second website unit in the N first target website are arranged and displayed.

[0093] Here, the number of historical user inputs may be the number of times the user has previously input the character group corresponding to the second URL unit in the first target URL based on the text information, and the number of historical user inputs may be used as a basis for arranging and displaying the N character groups.

[0094] In a specific example, 5 first target URLs have been obtained. At this time, the 5 character groups need to be arranged and displayed according to the number of times the user has previously entered the 5 character groups corresponding to the second URL unit in the first target URL in the search bar. For example, if the user who entered "www.c" has the second URL unit character group entered most often "ccty", then "ccty" will be displayed, followed by "cmty", and "ccty" will be arranged before "cmty" for display. Of course, a more complex sorting model can also be used here, which is not limited here.

[0095] In this way, by arranging and displaying the N character groups corresponding to the second URL units in the N first target URLs according to the user's historical input times, the system can make the character groups recommended by the system more in line with the user's usage habits and more convenient for the user to complete the input of the current URL unit.

[0096] In this way, by obtaining the first target URL from the candidate URLs and displaying the corresponding character groups, character groups that meet the conditions can be recommended to the user, helping the user to quickly and accurately complete the URL input.

[0097] In addition, in an optional implementation manner, the above step 230 may also include:

[0098] When the text information meets the preset error correction condition, T second target URLs are obtained from the M candidate URLs;

[0099] In the case where the first character is a URL unit separator, T character groups corresponding to the third URL unit in the T second target URLs are displayed, and the third URL unit is the previous URL unit before the first character;

[0100] When the first character is a character other than the URL unit separator, T character groups corresponding to the second URL unit among the T second target URLs are displayed.

[0101] Here, when the first character is a URL unit separator, the target URL unit can also be the previous URL unit before the first character, that is, the third URL unit. The character group corresponding to the third URL unit in the second target URL can be the character group in the URL unit corresponding to the third URL unit in the second target URL.

[0102] Since errors may occur when users input a URL, correction can be performed by means of edit distance correction, noise channel model correction, etc. Among them, the preset error correction condition may include that the edit distance between the text information and the first S characters of the second target URL is less than a first preset value, or the input error probability corresponding to the text information is greater than a second preset value, and the input error probability is the probability that the user inputs the first S characters of the second target URL as text information, wherein T is a positive integer, M≥T, and the number of characters included in the text information is S. The preset error correction condition can be used to determine whether the text information input by the user needs to be corrected. The second target URL can be a possible standard URL obtained after correcting the text information. The prefix of the second target URL is similar to the text information. The second target URL can be used as the basis for the system to prompt the character group.

[0103] The calculation method of the edit distance error correction is as follows: assuming that the text information is a string A including S characters, the first S characters of the second target URL are string B, and only three operations, namely insertion, deletion and replacement, are used, and at least X steps are required to transform string A into string B, then X is the edit distance from string A to string B. Since users usually only enter one character incorrectly, the first preset value can be set to 2, that is, when the edit distance between the S characters included in the text information and the first S characters of the candidate URL is 1, the candidate URL can be determined as the second target URL.

[0104] In addition, the calculation method of the error correction of the noise channel model is as follows: a probability value is assigned to the editing operation between common characters, such as a high probability of inputting errors between adjacent characters on the keyboard and a high probability of inputting errors between vowel characters. Based on the probability value, the probability that each input is a standard input is calculated as the input error probability.

[0105] In a specific example, the character currently input by the user is ".", and the text information already entered in the search bar is "maip.", and there is no URL with the prefix "maip." in the alternative URLs or the URL with the prefix "maip." is less popular, but there is an alternative URL with the prefix "mail." which is more popular, and the editing distance between "maip." and "mail." is 1, which is less than the first preset value 2. Therefore, the alternative URL with the prefix "mail." can be obtained as the second target URL, and the character group "mail" in the URL unit corresponding to the third URL unit in the second target URL is displayed as the standard character group recommended for error correction.

[0106] In another specific example, the character currently input by the user is "l", and the text information already entered in the search bar is "mau", there is no URL with the prefix "mau" in the alternative URLs, but there is an alternative URL with the prefix "mai", assuming that the probability of "i" being mistakenly input as "u" is 0.4, and the second preset value is 0.3, then the probability of incorrect input is greater than the preset value at this time. Therefore, the alternative URL with the prefix "mai" can be obtained as the second target URL, and the character group "mail" in the URL unit corresponding to the second URL unit in the second target URL is displayed as the standard character group recommended for error correction.

[0107] In this way, by obtaining the second target URL and displaying the corresponding character group when the text information meets the preset error correction conditions, the corresponding character group can still be recommended to the user when the user makes an input error, helping the user to correct the error and complete the URL input.

[0108] In order to better describe the entire solution, based on the above embodiments, a specific example is given. Figure 7 As shown, the information prompt method may include steps 601-608, which are explained in detail below.

[0109] Step 601, segment the user's historical browsing URLs by URL units.

[0110] In a specific example, the URL header of the user's historical browsing URLs, such as "http: / / " or "https: / / ", is deleted, and the user's historical browsing URLs are divided into multiple modules, i.e., URL units, according to URL unit separators, such as "." or " / ". For example, www.sancun.com / more / can be divided into four modules "www", "sancun", "com" and "more".

[0111] Step 602, segmenting the URLs or registered URLs whose total web-wide click volume exceeds a third preset value according to URL units.

[0112] In a specific example, the URL headers of the URLs or registered URLs whose total network click volume exceeds the third preset value are deleted, such as "http: / / " or "https: / / ", and the URLs or registered URLs whose total network click volume exceeds the third preset value are divided into multiple modules, i.e., URL units, according to URL unit separators, such as "." or " / ". For example, www.sancun.com / more / can be divided into four modules "www", "sancun", "com" and "more".

[0113] Step 603, obtaining the input text information.

[0114] In a specific example, the text information input by the user in the URL input control is obtained, and the alternative URL with a prefix consistent with the text information can be used as the first target URL based on the text information. In addition, if there is an error in the text information input by the user, that is, the text information meets the preset error correction condition, the alternative URL with a prefix consistent with the text information after the error correction is used as the second target URL. Among them, the alternative URL can include at least one of the URLs with a total network click volume exceeding the third preset value in step 601 and the registered URLs in step 602.

[0115] Step 604: Check whether the URL unit has been input.

[0116] In a specific example, to determine whether the last URL unit in the input text information has been inputted, it can be determined by whether the last character, that is, the first character, is a URL unit separator. If the last character is a URL unit separator, the URL unit has been inputted; if the last character is a character other than a URL unit separator, the URL unit has not been inputted. If the URL unit has been inputted, step 605 is executed; if the URL unit has not been inputted, step 606 is executed.

[0117] Step 605: Display the character group corresponding to the first URL unit.

[0118] In a specific example, the current URL unit has been input, and the next URL unit, that is, the first URL unit, and the corresponding character group are displayed. If the input content is a prefix of a stored text, the stored text is recalled. For example: www. is the prefix of www.sancun.com, and www.ccty is the prefix of www.ccty.com. In addition, the text information can be sorted according to the number of times the user has entered it. For example, for a user who has entered www., the next module that is most often entered is ccty, and ccty is displayed.

[0119] Step 606, displaying the character group corresponding to the second URL unit.

[0120] In a specific example, the input of this URL unit has not been completed, and the character group corresponding to the current URL unit, that is, the second URL unit, is displayed. If the input content is a prefix of the stored text, the stored text is recalled. For example: ww is the prefix of www, and cc is the prefix of ccty. At the same time, the URL unit before the URL unit must also be completely matched. For example: if the user input is www.cc, in addition to recalling ccty, a complete URL starting with www.ccty is required. On the contrary, if there is only the URL wap.ccv.xyz in the alternative URLs, since it does not start with www.cc, although cc is also a prefix of ccv, the result of ccv will not be recalled. In addition, the text information can be sorted according to the number of times the user has entered it in history. For example, for users who have entered www., the next module entered at most is ccty, then ccty will be displayed.

[0121] Step 607: input the target character group selected by the user.

[0122] In a specific example, the user clicks on a character group that meets his / her requirements in the prompt, the system receives the second input of the selection, and displays the character group selected by the user in the URL input control.

[0123] Step 608, input the URL unit separator.

[0124] In a specific example, after the character group selected by the user is displayed in the URL input control, the URL unit separator is automatically completed.
