[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.
[0018] 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.
[0019] The information search method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Figure 1 A flowchart of an information search method according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method is applied to an electronic device and includes:
[0021] Step 110: In response to a first input, obtain first search information associated with the first input.
[0022] The first input includes the touch input performed by the user on the screen, not limited to inputs such as click, slide, drag, etc.; the first input may also be the user's air input, gesture action, facial action, etc., and the first input also includes the user's input on physical buttons on the device, not limited to inputs such as pressing, etc. Moreover, the first input includes one or more inputs, wherein the multiple inputs may be continuous or intermittent.
[0023] The first input is used for first search information input by a user based on a designated search input control.
[0024] The controls in this application are carriers for displaying information, including but not limited to text labels, symbol labels, and image labels.
[0025] See also Figure 2 In the search input box shown in the figure, the user enters the first search information "XXXXXX" to be searched.
[0026] Optionally, the first input is also used for the user to trigger the link search function provided in this embodiment through a specified input method.
[0027] See also Figure 2 , the user can long press the illustrated search input box or the illustrated “Search” option (magnifying glass icon), and the “Link Search” option (such as Figure 3 As shown), the user clicks on the "Link Search" option.
[0028] Further, based on the user's first input, the link-type search function is activated, thereby displaying a plurality of application options below the search input box.
[0029] Optionally, the multiple application options displayed may be all application options downloaded in the electronic device.
[0030] Optionally, the multiple application options displayed may also be all application options that support the link-based search function among the offline applications in the electronic device.
[0031] Optionally, the multiple application options displayed may also be all application options in the offline applications in the electronic device, for which the link-based search function preset by the user is turned on.
[0032] Optionally, the multiple application options displayed may also be all application options that have been downloaded in the electronic device and support the search function.
[0033] The number of the multiple application options displayed is at least two, and includes at least two applications in step 120 .
[0034] Correspondingly, in this step, in response to the first input, first search information input in the first input is obtained for use in subsequent steps.
[0035] Step 120: In response to the second input, determine at least two applications associated with the second input.
[0036] The second input includes the touch input performed by the user on the screen, not limited to inputs such as clicking, sliding, and dragging; the second input can also be the user's air input, gesture action, facial action, etc. The second input also includes the user's input on physical buttons on the device, not limited to inputs such as pressing, etc. Moreover, the second input includes one or more inputs, wherein the multiple inputs can be continuous or intermittent.
[0037] The second input is used for the user to select at least two application options from the plurality of application options displayed above.
[0038] Among them, under the effect of the second input, the above-displayed application options can change from "unselected state" to "selected state", and can also change from "selected state" to "unselected state".
[0039] Optionally, the second input is also used for the user to trigger a search action by specifying an input.
[0040] For example, after the user selects at least two application options from among the multiple application options displayed, he clicks the search option. Figure 2 Magnifying glass icon shown.
[0041] Correspondingly, in this step, in response to the second input, at least two applications selected in the second input are determined.
[0042] Among them, the first input and the second input are mainly used to input target search information and select at least two applications, and other user inputs used to activate functions, trigger actions, etc. can be part of the first input or the second input, or can be other preset user inputs.
[0043] For example, the user may also trigger display of multiple application options through a second input.
[0044] For another example, the user may also trigger the display of multiple application options through other preset inputs.
[0045] Step 130: Search in at least two applications based on the first search information.
[0046] In this step, when a search action is triggered, a search is performed in at least two applications based on first search information input by a user.
[0047] Exemplarily, one search method is: searching in at least two applications simultaneously.
[0048] For example, the user inputs "Which place is fun in XX city" as the first search information, and the user selects the browser and the weather application through the second input. Therefore, in this step, searches are performed in the browser and the weather application based on "Which place is fun in XX city", and finally the places in XX city listed in the browser and the weather conditions of the city provided by the weather application are obtained.
[0049] Exemplarily, another search method is: searching in at least two applications in sequence.
[0050] For example, the user inputs "Which place is fun in XX city" as the first search information, and the user selects the browser and the navigation application through the second input. Therefore, in this step, first, based on "Which place is fun in XX city", the places in XX city listed in the browser are obtained, and then based on the places in XX city listed in the browser, the navigation route provided by the navigation application is obtained.
[0051] Step 140: Outputting search results obtained by searching based on at least two application programs respectively.
[0052] Optionally, the output method is not limited to: displaying on a screen, playing on a device, etc.
[0053] Optionally, the form of the search results is not limited to: text, image, voice, etc.
[0054] See also Figure 4 For example, the search results are displayed below the illustrated search input box, and the search results obtained based on the search for each application can be displayed as a separate window.
[0055] Furthermore, each independent window has an editing function, and the user can perform operations such as copying in any window, and can also control to directly jump to the interface of the corresponding application to display the search results in the interface.
[0056] Thus, in an embodiment of the present application, a user can input first search information in a search input control (such as a search input box) through a first input, and select at least two applications through a second input, thereby obtaining the first search information, and determining at least two applications, to search in the selected at least two applications based on the first search information, and then output search results obtained based on the search of each application. It can be seen that in an embodiment of the present application, for matters related to a matter, search results of multiple applications can be obtained based on the user's input of a question, thereby solving the problem of cumbersome operations caused by the user switching back and forth between different applications.
[0057] In the process of the information search method of another embodiment of the present application, between step 110 and step 120, the method further includes:
[0058] Step A1: Based on the first search information, display at least two application options.
[0059] The at least two application options are arranged in order from strong to weak according to the relevance of the applications indicated by them to the first search information.
[0060] Optionally, based on the first search information, keywords included in the first search information are obtained, and the relevance between each application and the keyword is determined. Applications with stronger relevance are displayed first for quick selection by the user.
[0061] For example, the first search information includes: "Where is the best place in XX city? I want to go there tomorrow." Therefore, based on the keyword extraction of the first search information, we can get "where", the keyword expresses a question, and thus a certain browser that is more closely related to the question will be recommended to the user first; based on the keyword extraction of the first search information, we can get "place", the keyword expresses something related to the address, and thus a certain map application that is more closely related to the address will be recommended to the user first; based on the keyword extraction of the first search information, we can get "I want to go there tomorrow", the keyword expresses the behavior of traveling, and thus a certain weather application that is more closely related to the behavior of traveling will be recommended to the user first.
[0062] Optionally, the analysis of the correlation between any application and the first search information is determined based on the proportion of the same type of keywords in the first search information, the keywords representing the subject, and the semantics expressed by the keywords.
[0063] For example, the first search information includes: "Where is the best place in XX city?" The keyword representing the subject is "where?", so a certain browser has the strongest relevance compared to other applications.
[0064] In this embodiment, a method for recommending applications to users is provided. In this method, the application options to be displayed are determined in combination with the first search information, and the relevance of the indicated applications to the first search information is arranged and displayed in order of relevance from strong to weak. Thus, users can quickly filter out the applications they want to use, avoiding blind selection among a large number of applications, and further simplifying user operations.
[0065] In the process of the information search method of another embodiment of the present application, step 130 includes:
[0066] Sub-step B1: Searching in at least two applications according to a first order associated with the second input.
[0067] Optionally, during the implementation of the second input, the user may select at least two application options from among the displayed multiple application options in a first order.
[0068] For example, among the displayed multiple application options, the user first clicks the option of application one, then clicks the option of application two, and finally clicks the option of application three, so that the first order is: application one, application two, application three.
[0069] Furthermore, during the implementation of the second input, after the user completes the selection of the application options, the selected application options are arranged in order, and then the user can also adjust the arrangement positions between the application options, such as swapping the positions of two adjacent application options, so that this embodiment can obtain the adjusted first order.
[0070] Correspondingly, in this step, a related search is performed in at least two applications in sequence according to a first order.
[0071] For example, see Figure 5 , follow the directions of the arrows to complete the search in the three applications in turn to get the final search results.
[0072] In this embodiment, an application link search function is provided in the search function, wherein the user can customize an application link.
[0073] It should be noted that an application link contains a path consisting of multiple nodes. Figure 5 In the example, application 1, application 2, and application 3 are located on three nodes in the application link respectively, and these three nodes form a path in a certain order.
[0074] Optionally, in this embodiment, search results obtained by searching based on various application programs may be output and displayed in sequence according to the search order.
[0075] Optionally, in this embodiment, the search results obtained by searching based on each application program may be output in sequence according to the search order, and the search results obtained by searching based on each application program may be displayed synchronously.
[0076] In this embodiment, the user can select multiple applications from the electronic device to add them to form an application link. The order of the applications on the link is the order in which they are added. If they are added in batches at one time, the order of the applications on the link can be the order of the applications when they are selected in batches. The maximum length of the link does not exceed the total number of applications that can be added. Further, based on the application link provided by this embodiment, relevant searches are performed in each application in the link in sequence according to the first order. In particular, based on this ordered search, the application can be searched based on the search results obtained by searching the previous application, and the search information is gradually enriched, and the search results are more detailed, achieving the effect of intelligent search.
[0077] In the process of the information search method of another embodiment of the present application, the at least two applications include a first application and a second application arranged in a first order; step B1 includes:
[0078] Sub-step C1: Search in the second application based on the first search result obtained by searching the first application.
[0079] In this embodiment, based on the application link provided in the previous embodiment, a progressive search method is provided.
[0080] For reference, the first search information input by the user is taken as the original information I(0), and the original information I(0) is input into the first node A(0) of the link. After A(0) searches I(0), it obtains information I(1), and I(1) is input into the next node A(1) for searching again, and so on, until the information obtained by the search is transmitted to the last node A(N) of the link.
[0081] For example, the first search information includes: "Where is the best place in XX city? I want to go there tomorrow." The first search information is first entered into a certain browser to obtain "AA Scenic Area". The information of "AA Scenic Area" is then entered into a certain navigation to obtain a route from the current location to "AA Scenic Area" and the places along the route. The location information of these places along the way is entered into a certain weather to obtain the weather conditions at the passing locations.
[0082] If the search fails in a certain node in the middle, the search process can be terminated.
[0083] In this embodiment, multiple applications are combined into an application link for information search. Each node on the application link can search for information. The search result of the previous link node is used as the information of the next node for search until the information search process is completed. In this way, the search information is continuously expanded, so that the search results are continuously becoming more comprehensive and rich, so that most of the user's needs can be taken into account, avoiding the user's manual search again, and further simplifying the user operation.
[0084] In the process of the information search method of another embodiment of the present application, the at least two applications include a third application and a fourth application arranged in a first order; step 140 includes:
[0085] Sub-step D1: output at least two third search results obtained by searching based on the third application.
[0086] Sub-step D2: receiving a third input for at least one third search result.
[0087] The third input includes the touch input performed by the user on the screen, not limited to click, slide, drag and other inputs; the third input can also be the user's air input, gesture action, facial action, etc. The third input also includes the user's input on the physical button on the device, not limited to press and other inputs. Moreover, the third input includes one or more inputs, wherein the multiple inputs can be continuous or intermittent.
[0088] Sub-step D3: In response to the third input, output a fourth search result obtained by searching in a fourth application based on at least one third search result.
[0089] The third input is used for, when a plurality of search results are obtained through searching based on one application, for the user to select one or more of the search results as the search information for the next application.
[0090] For example, see Figure 6 In the window corresponding to application one (i.e., the third application in this embodiment), two search results, "Scenic Area A" and "Scenic Area B", are displayed. The user can select "Scenic Area A", so that application two (i.e., the fourth application) can search for "Driving Route B" to "Scenic Area A" based on "Scenic Area A", and then application three can search for the weather conditions of the locations along "Driving Route B" based on "Driving Route B".
[0091] Optionally, in the search process of this embodiment, if there are multiple results obtained by searching based on an application on a certain node, the multiple search results are merged by default as the search information of the next node, so that the search results obtained by searching based on all applications can be displayed synchronously without the need for user selection. Furthermore, after synchronous display, based on the user's selection of any search result in any application, the search results displayed on the subsequent nodes can be updated accordingly.
[0092] Optionally, during the search process of this embodiment, when there are multiple results obtained by searching based on an application on a certain node, only the multiple search results on the node are output and displayed for the user to select. After the user selects, the subsequent search process is continued.
[0093] In this embodiment, when there are multiple results obtained by searching based on an application on a certain node, the user can also manually select any of the search results as the search information for the application on the next node. It can be seen that based on the user's customized selection, the subsequent search results are closer to the user's needs.
[0094] In the process of the information search method of another embodiment of the present application, the at least two applications include a fifth application and a sixth application, and the fifth application and the sixth application are applications of the same type; step A1 includes:
[0095] Sub-step E1: Search in the fifth application and the sixth application simultaneously.
[0096] In this embodiment, there is no limit on the number of applications on a node, and it can be one or more.
[0097] The applications on one node are of the same type.
[0098] For example, if the user selects two video applications through the second input, the two video applications are set on the same node.
[0099] During the search process, based on the search results obtained by searching the application on the previous node, the two video applications on the node can be searched simultaneously.
[0100] Among them, in the process of implementing the second input, after the application link is initially formed, the user can add the same type of application on any node through the specified input to generate the final link.
[0101] For example, see Figure 7,On the third node of the link, the user can increase the number of applications to three.
[0102] In this embodiment, on the basis of unidirectional link information search, multiple parallel applications can be adjusted on a certain node, and the added applications have the same properties as the original applications on the node, such as all music applications, or all video applications. Further, searches can be performed based on multiple parallel applications on the same node to obtain corresponding search results respectively. The user can manually select the most suitable result from them, or the system can automatically combine these multiple search results together as search information input to the next node. It can be seen that this embodiment makes the search process diverse and improves search efficiency.
[0103] In summary, the purpose of this application is to provide an information search method based on multiple applications, wherein the user can drag multiple application icons to form an application link to achieve a link-based search; in addition, the user can also dynamically adjust the order structure of the link to achieve the best search effect.
[0104] It should be noted that the information search method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by an information search device or a control module in the information search device for executing the information search method. In the embodiment of the present application, the information search device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the information search device executing the information search method as an example.
