Chat Interface Search Integration for Continuous Input
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current chat interface methods require users to leave the chat interface to search for information, leading to interrupted conversations, increased operational costs, and poorly organized information transmission.
Innovation Solution
An information input method that allows users to input encoded strings, determine target query strings, search for results, extract relevant content, and reconstruct it into template information recognizable by the chat client, enabling direct transmission without leaving the chat interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the user leaves the chat interface to perform search in other software, then the search function can be executed, but the continuous chat process is interrupted and the number of operations increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the search function with the chat interface by integrating a search box directly into the input area of the chat client. This allows users to perform searches without leaving the chat window, combining two previously separate functions (chatting and searching) into a unified interface, thereby maintaining chat continuity while enabling search capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The chat input interface is designed to serve multiple functions: it can accept direct text input for chatting, accept search keywords for information retrieval, and automatically distinguish between the two based on the input content. This multi-functionality eliminates the need to switch between chat and search applications.
2Loss of information
If the user performs multiple searches, then the required information can be found, but the switching cost increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent maintains continuous search action within the chat interface by keeping the search box integrated and the search results displayable within the same window. Users can perform multiple searches in sequence without exiting the chat interface, ensuring the useful action of searching continues uninterrupted, thereby eliminating repeated switching costs.
3Loss of information
If the user uses copy/paste or screenshot to send search results, then the information can be transmitted, but the information is disordered and the layout is poorly organized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary organization of search results before transmission. The system automatically extracts key information from search results and formats it into a structured template that is ready for sending. This preliminary formatting action eliminates the need for users to manually copy, paste, or screenshot disorganized information, as the information is already organized when retrieved.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically performs the information organization and formatting tasks that would otherwise require manual user effort. The search result processing is self-service oriented, where the system itself extracts, formats, and prepares the information for transmission without requiring user intervention for copying or pasting.

AI summary
An information input method and device are provided, which are related to the technical field of input method. The method comprises: acquiring candidates corresponding to an encoded string that is inputted, and determining a target query string from the candidates; searching the target query string, and obtaining a corresponding search result; extracting corresponding target content from the search result; and when an information-ending interface of a first chat client is detected to be triggered, using a first template provided by the first chat client to reconstruct the target content into first template information recognizable by the first chat client, and sending the first template information to a second chat client.
