[0009] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Although specific embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein, but rather these embodiments are provided for a more thorough and complete understanding of the present invention. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0010] In the description of embodiments of the present invention, the term “includes” and similar terms are open-ended inclusions meaning “includes, but not limited to, ~”. The term “based on” should be understood as “based on at least part of”. The term “one embodiment” or “the embodiment” should be understood as “at least one embodiment”. The term “some embodiments” should be understood as “at least some embodiments”. Other explicit and implicit definitions may be included below. The term “model” as used herein can indicate relationships between each data. For example, the above relationships can be derived based on various currently known and / or future technical solutions.

[0011] It is understood that data related to this technical solution (including, but not limited to, the data itself, the acquisition of the data, or the use of the data) must comply with applicable laws and related designated requirements.

[0012] It is understood that, before using the technical solutions disclosed in each embodiment of the present invention, the user should be notified in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations regarding the type, scope, and circumstances of use of personal information related to the present invention, and the user's consent should be obtained.

[0013] For example, when responding to an unsolicited request from a user, the system explicitly informs the user that the requested operation requires the acquisition and use of the user's personal information by sending the user information. This allows the user to independently choose whether to provide personal information to software or hardware, such as an electronic device, application, server, or storage medium, that performs the operation of the technical solution of the present invention, based on the information provided.

[0014] As a selective but non-restrictive implementation, a method for sending information to a user in response to receiving an unsolicited request from the user may, for example, utilize a pop-up window, where the information can be displayed in text form. Furthermore, the pop-up window may also include selection controls for the user to choose whether to "agree" or "disagree" to providing personal information to the electronic device.

[0015] The notification and user authorization process described above is merely a general overview and does not limit the implementation of the present invention. It is understood that other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of the present invention.

[0016] The term "in response to" used here refers to the occurrence of the corresponding event or the fulfillment of the condition. It should be understood that the timing of the execution of a subsequent action performed in response to such an event or condition is not necessarily strongly correlated with the timing of the event's occurrence or the condition's fulfillment. For example, in some cases, the subsequent action may be executed simultaneously with the occurrence of the event or the fulfillment of the condition, or it may be executed some time after the event or condition has been fulfilled.

[0017] <Example Environment> Image processing technology is widely applied in various fields to generate various object information cards in order to provide summary information about an object in a visual manner. Below, we will describe an application environment for generating object information cards, using item management as an example. Figure 1 shows a block diagram 100 of an application environment according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the information card 120 may be a control in the user interface 110 of an application. The application here may be various types of applications, including but not limited to social applications, video applications, and short video applications.

[0018] During operation by the terminal user of the application, an information card 120 can be provided in the user interface 110. When the user clicks on the information card 120, the user can be guided to open the page corresponding to the information card 120. As shown in Figure 1, the information card 120 may be a single image, which may contain various related information about the subject (e.g., a duffel bag). Here, the subject may be, for example, an item for sale on an online sales website, and each subject may have its own page. In existing technical solutions for generating information cards 120, information can be manually extracted from pages to create the information card 120. However, if there are a large number of subjects, this results in a significant workload, so it is desirable to generate information cards for subjects in a more easy and effective way.

[0019] <Overview of Information Card Generation> To at least partially solve the deficiencies in the prior art, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method for generating an information card for a target is proposed. Referring to FIG. 2, an overview according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described, and FIG. 2 shows a block diagram 200 for generating an information card for a target according to some embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, a page address 210 of a page 220 including a set of attributes of a target object can be received. In this example, the target can represent the sales item "duffel bag", and the page 220 may be a page for selling "duffel bag" on an online sales website.

[0020] Furthermore, a set 230 of page elements within the page 220 is obtained. The page elements 230 may be various elements such as images, texts, videos, links, etc. defined within the page 220. Based on the set 230 of page elements, a set 240 of attributes of the target object, such as an image and name of the item, can be determined. Subsequently, an information card 120 for the target object can be generated based on the set 240 of attributes.

[0021] Using an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, various attributes of a target can be directly extracted from a target page, and thereby an information card can be automatically generated using the extracted various attributes. According to this method, the process of generating an information card does not require much manual work, and by simply inputting the page address 210 for the target, an information card can be automatically generated based on the information within the page 220 corresponding to the page address 210.

[0022] <Detailed Process of Information Card Generation> Having already described the overview of generating information cards, various details will be explained below. According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in the process of obtaining a set of page elements within a page, the code within the page can be analyzed to extract various structured information defined within the page. In one example, the extracted structured information can be managed according to the structure shown in Table 1 below. [Table 1] TIFF0007858771000002.tif82170

[0023] As shown in Table 1, rows 1-7 show the title of the extracted page (i.e., title), and the style of the title is width=375, height=1224. Rows 8-91 show information about other page elements within the page. For example, rows 7-62 show the content within the page (i.e., content), which may include multiple parts such as the image (i.e., img) shown in rows 7-18, the link (i.e., link) shown in rows 19-33, the video (i.e., video) shown in rows 34-47, and the text (i.e., text) shown in rows 48-62. Furthermore, rows 63-91 show the components within the page (i.e., component), which may include multiple components such as the plugin (i.e., swiper) shown in rows 63-77 and the image shown in rows 78-91.

[0024] Based on various extraction techniques currently known and / or to be developed in the future, various page elements can be extracted from a page. This method allows for the extraction of multifaceted information from a page, thereby providing a data basis for determining various attributes of the subject. Table 1 merely illustrates one example of how to store the extracted information; it should be understood that alternative and / or additional means can be used to store the extracted information.

[0025] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a target set of attributes is determined based on a set of page elements. Specifically, the set of attributes can be determined based on at least one of the following: semantic analysis of the set of page elements, or a machine learning model that describes the relationships between the set of page elements and the set of attributes. By using the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, target attributes can be extracted using a variety of methods, thereby improving the efficiency of generating information cards.

[0026] Specifically, semantic analysis can be performed based on the data structure shown in Table 1, and corresponding attributes can be determined. For example, corresponding attributes can be found based on information such as each keyword on the page. In the context of the present invention, the set of attributes may include at least one of the following: name, description, image, brand, price, selling points, etc. Specifically, text can be searched using keywords such as "name" and "price" to determine the corresponding attributes. Alternatively, for example, an image in a prominent position on the page may be used as the target image. Furthermore, for example, the target image can be determined by identifying whether the content within the image matches the name of the target. This method allows for the determination of various attributes of the target in a simple and effective way, thereby facilitating the insertion of various information into the information card.

[0027] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, each attribute of a target can be determined based on a machine learning model. For example, a pre-trained machine learning model can be obtained, which can describe the relationships between a set of page elements and a set of attributes. For example, the training process can be performed using an annotated page sample. When the data shown in Table 1 is input to the trained model, information such as the name, description, image, brand, price, and selling points of the target can be received from the model. This method makes full use of the powerful processing capabilities of the machine learning model to determine various attributes of the target in a more accurate way. Alternatively and / or additionally, the attributes of the target can be determined in a more accurate way by performing cross-validation using the two methods described above.

[0028] According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, each attribute extracted in various functional ways can be stored, and each attribute can be stored in the data structure shown in Table 2. In Table 2, each extracted attribute can be stored in each field. For example, the name of the object, "Duffel Bag," can be stored in the title field "title," the price of the object, "199.00," can be stored in the price field "price," the description of the object, "Cowhide material...", can be stored in the description field "description," and the image of the object can be stored in the image field "image." [Table 2]

[0029] According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a template can be used to specify the layout of an information card. More details regarding templates will be described with reference to Figure 3, which shows a block diagram 300 in which data is populated into a template according to several embodiments of the present invention to generate an information card. As shown on the left side of Figure 3, the template 310 may include a background image 370 and a set of insertion positions corresponding to sets of attributes. Specifically, the background image 370 can display the background of the information card. An image of the subject can be inserted at the image position 320, the name of the subject at the name position 330, the price of the subject at the price position 340, the brand of the subject at the brand position 350, and a description of the subject at the description position 360.

[0030] According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, each position can be defined in various ways. For example, for image position 320, the position of the upper-left corner (x0, y0) of the image in template 310 can be specified, along with the width and height of the image. Alternatively and / or additionally, the position of the upper-left corner (x0, y0) and the position of the lower-right corner (x1, y1) of the image can be specified.

[0031] Furthermore, when generating target information cards, the target information cards can be generated by inserting a set of attributes into a set of insertion positions. At this time, a mapping relationship can be established between each field shown in Table 2 and each position in template 310, thereby making it easy to insert attributes corresponding to each position. The right side of Figure 3 shows the generated information card 370, in which the attributes corresponding to each position have already been inserted. According to this method, in the management information card process, it is only necessary to insert the extracted attributes into the corresponding positions, thus simplifying the information card generation process. Furthermore, if it is necessary to adjust the layout of the information card, the background image, insertion positions, and corresponding attributes in the template can be adjusted, thereby allowing for more efficient modification of the information card.

[0032] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, one or more candidate templates can be predefined. For example, a simple template and a detailed template can be established, in which case the simple template may include only the image and price of the subject, while the detailed template may include more information such as the image, description, and price of the subject. When generating an information card, a template can be obtained to specify the layout of the information card, and furthermore, an information card for the target subject can be generated based on the template. Using the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the layout of each content within the information card can be predefined, thereby facilitating the display of various information related to the target subject.

[0033] According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a corresponding template can be selected based on the page type of the page. Specifically, multiple candidate templates can be established by determining the page type of the page based on the set of page elements, where the page type includes at least one of single-target type, multiple-target type, and homepage type. More details will be illustrated with reference to Figure 4, which shows a block diagram 400 of the correspondence between pages and templates according to several embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] As shown in Figure 4, the single-target type 410 indicates that the target page relates to only one target, for example, a single item "duffel bag". The multiple-target type 420 indicates that the target page relates to multiple targets, for example, multiple items "duffel bag" and "handbag". The homepage type 430 indicates that the target page relates to the homepage of a specific store, and that homepage can provide an entry point to access multiple items. Templates can be pre-specified for various types of pages; for example, template 412 can be specified for the single-target type 410, template 422 for the multiple-target type 420, and template 432 for the homepage type 430. In this case, the attribute information shown in Table 2 can be expanded as shown in Table 3. In Table 3, the page type field "page_type" can specify the page type. [Table 3]

[0035] Furthermore, a template matching the page type can be selected from multiple candidate templates. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a corresponding template can be automatically selected based on the page type entered by the user. Using the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, multiple candidate templates can be pre-customized based on different page types. This method allows various types of pages to be presented according to different layouts, thereby enabling information cards to provide more information in a more appropriate layout.

[0036] According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an interaction interface for receiving a page address can be provided. More details will be described with reference to Figure 5, which shows a block diagram 500 of a page for generating an information card according to several embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Figure 5, a generated page 510 can be provided, and interaction between the user and the generated page 510 can be detected. For example, when it is detected that the user has entered a page address into an input box 520, the target attributes can be extracted from the page indicated by the page address by performing the method described above, and a corresponding information card can be generated.

[0037] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a user can enter one or more page addresses into the input box 520. It should be understood that the generated page 510 is merely illustrative, and page addresses can be received by other means, for example, a user can drag a file containing one or more page addresses into the input box 520. Alternatively and / or additionally, a user can enter the entrance address of an online sales website into the input box 520 and specify a hierarchical range of traversed pages. In this case, corresponding information cards can be generated for objects within multiple pages belonging to that hierarchical range. Using the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a user can generate one or more information cards at once when needed, thereby improving generation efficiency.

[0038] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the corresponding template may be automatically selected based on a specified page type, or the user may be allowed to manually select the template for the information card. Specifically, an interaction interface for selecting a template can be provided, and when an interaction with the interaction interface is detected, a template corresponding to the interaction can be selected from a plurality of candidate templates. Using the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the user can select the template they expect, thereby ensuring that the generated information card better matches the user's expectations. Alternatively and / or additionally, the user can verify whether the automatically selected template is appropriate for the page of the item, thereby enabling the generation of an information card that better matches the user's expectations.

[0039] It should be understood that the generation page 510 mentioned above may also be a page of the application management tool. For example, the user who can decide what kind of information cards to generate using the application management tool may be a user of the application management tool, such as an application administrator.

[0040] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, each generated information card can be stored in a repository to provide a matching information card to the terminal user of the application. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the generated information card can be sent to a client device running the application to provide a page in response to the detection of interaction with the information card. Figure 6 shows a block diagram 600 presenting a generated information card to a user according to several embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Figure 6, the application's user interface 610 can provide an information card 620 to the terminal user of the application. The information card 620 may be generated based on a page of multiple object type 420 in Figure 4, in which case the information card 620 may include multiple objects, such as images of a duffel bag and a handbag. When it is detected that the terminal user has clicked on the information card 620, the corresponding page can be opened to provide a sales page for multiple items.

[0041] According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the target object can include at least one of a physical item and a virtual item. It should be understood that the above describes the process of generating an information card using only an example of a physical item as the target. Alternatively and / or additionally, the target can further include virtual items, such as audio, video, games, applications, pages, etc. Specifically, a corresponding information card can be provided on the client device running the application while a terminal user is using the application. For example, while a user is watching a sports game video, an information card pointing to a news page related to that sports game can be provided, and while a user is watching a movie promotional video, an information card pointing to a movie ticket sales website can be provided. Using the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, information cards can be generated for a wider variety of targets, thereby providing terminal users with more comprehensive information.

[0042] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an information card can be updated based on the content the user is viewing before it is presented. Assuming the user is viewing light-colored content, the background image in the template can be updated to a light color; and assuming the user is viewing gray-colored content, the background image in the template can be updated to a gray color. This method allows for the presentation of information cards in an application in a more collaborative manner. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the background image in an information card can be updated based on the application's interface style. This method allows the same information card to be shared across multiple different applications. This method simplifies the process of generating and managing information cards.

[0043] Using an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, one or more information cards for a target can be created using an information card generation tool. This method eliminates the need for extensive manual work during the information card generation process; simply entering the page address for the target allows for the automatic generation of information cards based on the information on the page corresponding to that page address.

[0044] <Exemplary process> Figure 7 shows a flowchart of a method 700 for generating an information card for a target according to several embodiments of the present invention. In box 710, the page address of a page containing a set of attributes for the target is received. Upon receiving the page address, the method proceeds to box 720. In box 720, a set of page elements within the page is obtained, and in box 730, a set of attributes for the target is determined based on the set of page elements. In box 740, an information card for the target is generated based on the set of attributes.
