Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of computer, and more particularly, to an information processing method and device, a user terminal, a computer program product and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of information and intelligent society, nowadays, electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets, computers and televisions have become an indispensable part of our lives. With the rapid and effective information dissemination of the Internet, most of the information people obtain every day is obtained through electronic devices. Electronic devices play an important role in communication, culture and education, and entertainment.

[0003] For most electronic products nowadays, various rich application software is usually used to display multimedia information such as images, texts, audios and videos. If a user wants to obtain information in an application software, the user needs to open the application software, find and view the information displayed by the corresponding function module, and operate the corresponding function module. In some electronic products, some plug-ins can also display information of some commonly used function modules of the software on the desktop or home page of the electronic product, so that the user can more conveniently and quickly view the information of the function module. However, the user can only view the information in the function module preset by the application manufacturer, and cannot directly process the information in the function module on the desktop in a diversified manner.

[0004] Moreover, the information displayed by each software on the electronic device is independent, and there is no interactive interface between the software, so the user can only manually switch between the software, and cannot quickly call multiple software to realize interactive operation between the software. For example, the prices of the same product on different shopping platforms are usually different, and if a user wants to buy the desired product at the most favorable price, the user often needs to repeatedly query and switch between multiple shopping platform software, and manually compare the prices of the product, which consumes a lot of time and effort, and the user experience is poor.

[0005] Therefore, an information processing method capable of quickly obtaining and processing diversified information of various application software is needed to reduce the manual operation of the user, meet the diversified information processing needs of the user, and improve the user experience.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure more apparent, exemplary embodiments according to this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments of this disclosure. It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein.

[0035] Also, in the present specification and drawings, steps and elements having substantially the same or similar functions are denoted with the same or similar reference numerals, and repeated description on these steps and elements will be omitted.

[0036] Also, in the present specification and drawings, elements are described in singular or plural form according to the embodiment. However, the selection of singular and plural forms for the proposed case is merely for convenience of explanation and is not intended to limit the disclosure thereto. Therefore, the singular form can include the plural form, and the plural form can also include the singular form, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0037] In the present specification and drawings, steps and elements having substantially the same or similar functions are denoted with the same or similar reference numerals, and repeated description on these steps and elements will be omitted. Meanwhile, in the description of the present disclosure, the terms "first", "second", and the like are used only to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or order.

[0038] For the convenience of describing the present disclosure, the concepts related to the present disclosure are introduced below.

[0039] The method of the present disclosure can be based on artificial intelligence (AI). Artificial intelligence is a theory, method, technology, and application system that uses a digital computer or a machine controlled by a digital computer to simulate, extend, and expand human intelligence, perceive the environment, acquire knowledge, and use the knowledge to obtain the best results. In other words, artificial intelligence is a comprehensive technology of computer science that attempts to understand the essence of intelligence and produces a new intelligent machine that can react in a similar way to human intelligence. For example, for an artificial intelligence-based method, it can recognize a user's instruction in a similar way to a human through the naked eye, such as through expression analysis, gesture recognition, motion recognition, etc., to acquire the user's purpose and match the user with the service the user wants.

[0040] Human-Computer Interaction Techniques refers to the technology of realizing the dialogue between human and computer through computer input and output devices in an effective way. Human-Computer Interaction Techniques includes that the machine provides a large amount of information and prompts to the human through the output or display device, and the human inputs information to the machine through the input device, answers questions and prompts. Human-Computer Interaction Techniques is one of the important contents in the design of computer user interface. The transformation and upgrading of traditional industries to intelligence, digitization and informatization is the main driving force for the growth of the human-computer interface market. Human-computer interface is the main force of information interaction with its rich information display form, convenient system control and promotion of human-computer communication. Effective use of human-computer interaction can not only improve the efficiency and quality of production, but also enhance the user experience. In the present disclosure, the user's indication can be obtained through various human-computer interaction methods, and the information is processed. At the same time, the information processing method for user terminal provided by the present disclosure can enable the user to quickly call multiple software to complete the information matching between the software without frequent switching between the software, which provides a new idea for human-computer interaction for user terminal.

[0041] In summary, the scheme provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure relates to computer technologies such as artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction. The embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Figure 1 is an exemplary schematic diagram showing a scenario of information processing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0043] As shown in Figure 1 , the application provider uploads the application software to the network after the development of the application software is completed, and the user can obtain the application software through browsing the webpage or through information pushing. When the user installs the application software, the user can call the network connection interface of the user terminal to transfer data, information and services with the application provider through the network. In this example, the information interaction between the application provider and the user is realized through the network communication of their respective network access terminals, and the server can provide services and support for the network communication.

[0044] Optionally, the user terminal can be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a portable computer, a smart television, a wearable device (such as a smart bracelet, a smart watch) and the like with display function. The user terminal can also be a client that installs a browser or various applications (including system applications and third-party applications). The user terminal can obtain information through application programs, applets, webpages and the like, and display the information on the display screen of the user terminal.

[0045] Optionally, the network can be an Internet of Things (IoT) based on the Internet and / or a telecommunications network, which can be a wired network or a wireless network, for example, which can be a local area network (LAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a wide area network (WAN), a cellular data communication network, and the like electronic network capable of realizing information exchange functions.

[0046] Optionally, the server can be a standalone physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDNs, and basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0047] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart illustrating an information processing method 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0048] In step S210, the first function module of the first application is set as a first function component, so that the first function component includes information of the first function module of the first application.

[0049] In step S220, the second function module of the second application is set as a second function component, so that the second function component includes information of the second function module of the second application.

[0050] For commonly used or representative function modules or interfaces in an application, the function modules or interfaces can generally be set as function components to facilitate users to quickly obtain information in the modules. For embodiments of the present disclosure, the function component can be a desktop widget capable of reflecting interface information of an application, but the function component is not limited to being placed on the home page or desktop of the user terminal, and can also be placed on various display interfaces of the user terminal.

[0051] It should be understood that the first function component and the second function component can be different function components of the same application software, and the first function component and the second function component can also be function components of different application software. The first function component and the second function component can have the same or similar information, or the first function component and the second function component can have an interface for information interaction.

[0052] In step S230, an indication for matching the first function component with the second function component is received.

[0053] Optionally, receiving the instruction for matching the first functional component with the second functional component can be achieved through various information input devices capable of converting the user's instruction into a signal recognizable by the user terminal, such as a mouse, keyboard, touchscreen, voice control device, or motion recognition device. This instruction can be achieved through specific user operations on the mouse, keyboard, touchscreen, etc. (e.g., clicking a matching selection control with the mouse to indicate the matching of the first and second functional components, pressing a predetermined matching activation key on the keyboard to indicate the matching of the first and second functional components, or dragging a functional component to a predetermined matching activation position on the touchscreen to indicate the matching of the first and second functional components, etc.), or through recognition and analysis of the user's voice, image, behavior, etc. (e.g., using the user's voice input to indicate the matching of the first and second functional components, acquiring and analyzing the user's image (e.g., through facial recognition, etc.) to indicate the matching of the first and second functional components, or acquiring and analyzing the user's actions (e.g., through gesture recognition, etc.) to indicate the matching of the first and second functional components, etc.).

[0054] In step S240, the matching result corresponding to the indication is output.

[0055] It should be understood that the way the matching result corresponding to the instruction is output can be diverse. For example, the matching information can be displayed on a screen, the matching result can be conveyed to the user through voice broadcast, or the matching status or degree can be indicated to the user through signal indicator lights. The matching result between the first functional component and the second functional component can be realized in various ways that allow the user to perceive and obtain information, such as sound, light, heat, and electricity.

[0056] Matching the first functional component with the second functional component can be achieved by extracting or searching for identical or similar information. Matching the first functional component with the second functional component can also be based on the analysis of one or more multimedia information such as text descriptions, images, audio, or video related to the functional component. This analysis process can be based on a pre-defined similarity function related to the information to be matched.

[0057] Optionally, in response to an instruction to match the first functional component with the second functional component, a container for matching information between the first and second functional components can be generated, and the result of the information matching can be output in the container.

[0058] Optionally, the matching process between the first functional component and the second functional component may also include a matching confirmation process, whereby the user can confirm the matching of the first functional component and the second functional component through a matching confirmation control.

[0059] Optionally, the matching result between the first functional component and the second functional component can be output either by displaying the matching content information in the first functional component and the second functional component respectively, or by displaying the matching content information in the information matching result display component.

[0060] Optionally, the information processing method 200 can perform information matching on the information of the first functional module of the first application corresponding to the first functional component and the information of the second functional module of the second application corresponding to the second functional component.

[0061] For example, if there is related information to be compared in the information of the first functional module and the information of the second functional module, the result of comparing the information of the first functional module of the first application corresponding to the first functional component with the information of the second functional module of the second application corresponding to the second functional component can be output in response to an instruction for comparing the first functional component with the second functional component.

[0062] According to embodiments of this disclosure, in a shopping application scenario where the first functional module is the first shopping cart of a first shopping software and the second functional module is the second shopping cart of a second shopping software, information matching can be performed between the products in the first shopping cart and the products in the second shopping cart. After information matching is completed, the matched product information can be displayed in the first and second functional components, and the preferred product information among the matched products in the first and second functional components can be highlighted. The preferred products can be determined based on the product's price and / or product reviews. Optionally, when matched product information exists in the first and second functional components, a delete selection control can be displayed. This delete selection control is used to delete non-preferred products from the matched products in the shopping cart of the first or second shopping software. Furthermore, when matched product information exists in the first and second functional components, a payment selection control can be displayed. This payment selection control is used to make payment for the preferred products among the matched products in the first and / or second shopping carts.

[0063] Furthermore, the information processing method 200 can match not only information that can be directly obtained from the functional modules, but also content information that cannot be directly obtained from the functional modules, but can be indicated by the functional modules. For example, when the matching information is audio, the functional modules may only reflect the audio name, but the method of this disclosure can still be used to match the specific audio content indicated by the functional modules.

[0064] According to embodiments of this disclosure, content information indicated by the first functional module of the first application can also be obtained from the first functional component; the content information indicated by the first functional module of the first application can be retrieved through the second functional component; and the retrieval results can be output, and the retrieval results can be used as the result of matching the first functional component and the second functional component. In this application scenario of matching information retrieval, the second functional component can be a browser functional component (e.g., a web browser, an app with information browsing function, etc.), and the content information indicated by the first functional module of the first application can be at least one of text, image, audio, and multimedia information.

[0065] It should be noted that the information matching process in the information processing method of this disclosure can be implemented either on a user terminal or on a network server. That is, in response to an instruction to match the first functional component with the second functional component, the user terminal can perform matching processing on the first functional component and the second functional component and output a matching result corresponding to the instruction; or, in response to an instruction to match the first functional component with the second functional component, the user terminal can send the information of the first functional component and the second functional component to the network server for matching processing, and based on the matching processing result of the network server, the user terminal outputs a matching result corresponding to the instruction.

[0066] Furthermore, the information used for matching can be either information directly displayed by the functional component or information from the database corresponding to the functional component. That is, in response to an instruction to match the first functional component with the second functional component, information matching can be performed on the first information displayed by the first functional component and the second information displayed by the second functional component, and the matching result can be output; or, in response to an instruction to match the first functional component with the second functional component, information matching can be performed on the information in the database corresponding to the first functional component and the information in the database corresponding to the second functional component, and the matching result can be output. It should be understood that the database corresponding to the functional component can be either a relevant database file stored on the user terminal or a relevant database file stored on a network server.

[0067] Figure 3 This is an exemplary schematic diagram illustrating an information processing procedure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, the user first issues an instruction to the user terminal to set the first functional module as the first functional component. In response to this instruction, the user terminal displays the first functional component on its screen. Similarly, the user issues an instruction to the user terminal to set the second functional module as the second functional component. In response to this instruction, the user terminal displays the second functional component on its screen. At this time, the user terminal can display the first functional component and the second functional component simultaneously, such that the first functional component includes information about the first functional module of the first application, and the second functional component includes information about the second functional module of the second application.

[0069] Next, the user sends an instruction to the user terminal to match the first functional component with the second functional component.

[0070] The user terminal receives an instruction to match the first functional component with the second functional component. In response to this instruction, it collects information corresponding to the first functional component and information corresponding to the second functional component, and provides this information to the information processing backend. The information processing backend then performs matching processing on the information corresponding to the first functional component and the information corresponding to the second functional component. Optionally, the information processing backend here can be either the user terminal's information processing backend or a network server used for information processing.

[0071] After the matching process is completed, the information processing backend will provide the matching results of the first functional component and the second functional component to the user terminal, and the user terminal will output the matching results of the first functional component and the second functional component to the user.

[0072] Figures 4A-4I This is a schematic diagram illustrating the display interface of a user terminal that performs product information matching using the information processing method of this disclosure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0073] Figure 4A and Figure 4B This is a schematic diagram illustrating a shopping cart interface of shopping software according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4A It can be seen that users added items such as insulated water bottles and air fryers to their shopping carts on shopping app A. Users can then retrieve product information for these items from their shopping carts, such as product name, price, and ratings, among other things. Similarly, from... Figure 4B It can be seen that users added items such as thermos flasks and air fryers to their shopping carts on shopping app B. Users can then obtain product information for these items from B's shopping cart, such as product name, price, and ratings. For shopping apps A and B, the same or similar products may have different prices, ratings, specifications, and other information.

[0074] To easily compare information about identical or similar products in shopping apps A and B, the shopping carts of apps A and B can be set as desktop widgets. This process can be done through the "Add Desktop Widgets" module, similar to... Figure 4C and Figure 4D The human-computer interaction interface shown in the figure is used to implement this. For example, when a user clicks the "Add Widget" button in the figure, the user terminal sets the shopping cart-related function module of the shopping software as a desktop function component. During the process of setting the shopping cart-related function module of the shopping software as a desktop function component, a simplified thumbnail of the shopping cart can be displayed.

[0075] Once the shopping carts of shopping app A and shopping app B are set as desktop widgets, the shopping cart widgets of shopping app A and shopping app B can be displayed on the user's terminal desktop (e.g., ...). Figure 4E(As shown). Users can view the product information in the shopping carts of shopping software A and shopping software B through the shopping cart function components of shopping software A and shopping software B. Furthermore, on this interface, the shopping cart function components of shopping software A and shopping software B can perform corresponding display changes and / or trigger related function operations according to the user's commands to zoom in, zoom out, pan, etc.

[0076] According to embodiments of this disclosure, users can translate the shopping cart function components of shopping software A and shopping cart function components of shopping software B to overlap, thereby enabling the matching of identical or similar items between the items in the shopping cart of shopping software A and the items in the shopping cart of shopping software B to further obtain instructions on preferred items among the matched items (such as...). Figure 4F (As shown).

[0077] Optionally, in response to an instruction to match identical or similar products, a container (e.g., ...) can be generated for matching product information in the shopping cart of shopping software A with that in the shopping cart of shopping software B. Figure 4G (As shown).

[0078] During the matching process, the confirmation of identical or similar products can be achieved by performing similarity analysis on one or more pieces of information in the product's text description, images, or display videos. This analysis process can be performed on the user's terminal or on the web server.

[0079] After the matching operation is completed, the product matching results can be output in the shopping cart function component of shopping software A and the shopping cart function component of shopping software B. Alternatively, the product matching results can be output in the container used to match the product information in the shopping cart of shopping software A with the product information in the shopping cart of shopping software B. Optionally, the product matching results can also be output in the product matching result display component.

[0080] To make the comparison results of matched product information clearer, the preferred products among the same or similar products can be highlighted, or the same or similar products in the shopping carts of shopping software A and shopping software B can be displayed in a corresponding manner, so that users can more easily and quickly obtain the preferred product information and make a selection.

[0081] It should be understood that preferred products can be determined based on evaluation criteria such as product price, product rating, product parameters, or a combination thereof. For example, when determining preferred products based on price, the product with the lower price among identical or similar products can be selected as the preferred product and highlighted (e.g., ...). Figure 4HAs shown), this helps users quickly find information on affordable products. When determining preferred products based on product ratings, products with higher ratings among similar or identical products can be selected as preferred products and highlighted (e.g., ...). Figure 4I (As shown), this helps users quickly obtain information about well-reviewed and more trustworthy products. Similarly, when determining preferred products based on product price and ratings, an evaluation function for product selection can be formed based on the product price and ratings. Then, based on the calculation result of the product evaluation function, preferred products are determined, and the information of preferred products is provided to users to help them quickly obtain information about cost-effective products.

[0082] Optionally, a control for confirming and comparing prices of similar products can also be displayed on the user's terminal desktop (e.g., ...). Figure 4J (As shown). Users can click the "Match Similar Products" button to indicate whether the products in the shopping cart of shopping app A are the same or similar products to those in the shopping cart of shopping app B. Optionally, the matching can be performed using the default product comparison method (e.g., according to the judgment criteria for the same or similar products pre-set by the desktop component provider), or it can be performed according to the product comparison method selected by the user (e.g., the desktop component provides a human-computer interaction interface for the user, allowing the user to filter comparison criteria).

[0083] Additionally, the container used to match the product information in the shopping cart of shopping software A with that in the shopping cart of shopping software B may also include controls for adding functional components (such as...). Figure 4J As shown in the figure, the function component addition control is used to add the function components of new shopping software to be matched into the container, so as to realize the matching of product information of multiple shopping software.

[0084] Optionally, if matching product information exists in both the first and second functional components, a delete selection control (such as...) can be displayed. Figure 4K (As shown). Through this delete selection control, users can delete non-preferred items from the same or similar products in the shopping cart of shopping software A or shopping software B.

[0085] Optionally, if matching product information exists in both the first and second functional components, a payment selection control (such as...) can also be displayed. Figure 4K(As shown). This payment selection control allows users to directly check out selected items from the same or similar products in the shopping carts of shopping app A and / or shopping app B, without having to open shopping app A and / or shopping app B separately. This reduces the number of steps required for user operations and improves the user experience. It should be understood that after product information is matched, the payment selection control can be used to directly check out selected items in the shopping cart of shopping app A, or in the shopping cart of shopping app B, or even in both shopping carts of shopping app A and shopping app B.

[0086] Through the Figures 4A-4K As described in the text, the information processing method disclosed herein enables product information matching to directly match all identical or similar products in the user's shopping cart on the user's desktop and automatically mark the preferred products. This significantly reduces manual operation by the user, improves the efficiency of comparing similar products, and enhances the user experience.

[0087] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the information processing method described herein can also perform information matching on text, images, audio, multimedia information, etc.

[0088] For example, when the matching information is text, such as Figure 5A As shown, two documents to be matched can be added as desktop widgets. The system receives a matching instruction from the user, processes the document information within the widget, and displays the results in the widget. It should be understood that the two documents to be compared can be displayed through different widgets within the same application or through widgets within different applications. The formats of the two documents can be the same or different. The documents can be displayed using document editing software (e.g., Word editor, TXT editor, etc.) or various document display software (e.g., browser, PDF reader, etc.).

[0089] Optionally, the information to be matched can be not only information directly displayed by the functional component, but also information not displayed on the functional component, but indicated by the functional component. That is, the information processing method described in this disclosure can also perform information matching on the content information indicated by the first functional module of the first application corresponding to the first functional component and the content information indicated by the second functional module of the second application corresponding to the second functional component.

[0090] For example, when the matching information is text, such as Figure 5B As shown, icons for two documents to be matched can be added as desktop functional components. Then, the user's information matching instruction is obtained. In response to the information matching instruction, the information in the document corresponding to the document icon is matched, and the matching result is displayed in the display component. Optionally, the desktop functional component and the display component for displaying the matching result can be located in the same container or in different containers.

[0091] Furthermore, the information processing method disclosed herein can also be applied to the interaction of various identical or similar application software, for example, such as Figure 5C As shown, the audio playback modules of the first and second music software can be set as desktop widgets. When the first music software plays a song, the user can select to search for the same audio in the desktop widgets, allowing the user's terminal to search the network for the song being played in the first music software and play the same song in the second music software. In many cases, different music playback software have different music libraries, and the same song may have multiple versions. Depending on the user's membership level in each software, the resources they can access may also differ. Figure 5C The method shown allows users to more easily find the songs they want.

[0092] Furthermore, the information processing method disclosed herein can also be applied to the interaction of various application software. For example, it can obtain content information indicated by a first functional module of a first application from a first functional component; retrieve the content information indicated by the first functional module of the first application through a second functional component; and output the retrieval results, using the retrieval results as the matching results. For example, such as... Figure 5D As shown, the audio playback module of music software and the search module of browser software can be set as desktop widgets. When the music software is playing a song, the user can select to search for information about that song in the desktop widget, allowing the user's terminal to search the network for the song being played by the music software and display the song information in the browser. In the traditional operation mode, the user needs to manually record the song information and then search in the browser. With the information processing method disclosed in this invention, the user does not need to open multiple software programs separately; information interaction and / or functional interaction between multiple applications can be achieved directly in the desktop widget, improving the user experience.
