For example, WeChat applet from Tencent, Paibao applet from Alisba, and Instant application from Google (Android Apps), among others. Compared with the traditional application which can be used after being downloaded and installed, the instant application can be used without installation, and the instant application has the advantages of simplicity, high efficiency and the like.

The instant application may be provided with an information search function. Thus, the user can search for data information using the instant application. For example, the bus instant application may be provided with a bus route and/or bus stop search function for searching bus route data information; the cinema instant application may be provided with a movie and/or cinema search function for searching movie data information and/or cinema data information.

In the prior art, a client may run a specific application with an instant application search function, and the specific application may be, for example, WeChat, Paibao, or the like. The specified application may be provided with an application search interface that may include a first search term input control and a first search button control. Therefore, when the instant application is required to be used for searching data information, a user can construct application search terms which can be used for searching the instant application with the search function matched with the self requirement; the application search term may be entered at the first search term entry control; the first search button control may be triggered.

The client, in response to a triggering event of the first search button control, may send an instant application acquisition request to a first server, where the first server may be a server corresponding to the specified application program, and the instant application acquisition request may carry the application search term. The first server may receive the instant application acquisition request; a designated instant application matching the application search term may be obtained; the specified instant application may be sent to the client. The client may receive the specified instant application; the specified instant application may be run; an information search interface for the specified instant application may be provided.

The information search interface of the specified instant application may include a second search term input control and a second search button control. Therefore, a user can construct an information search word which can be used for searching out data information matched with the self requirement; the information search term may be input at the second search term input control; the second search button control may be triggered.

The client, in response to a triggering event of the second search button control, may send a data information acquisition request to a second server, where the second server may be a server corresponding to the specified instant application, and the data information acquisition request may carry the information search term. The second server may receive the data information search request; specified data information matched with the information search words can be acquired; the specified data information may be sent to the client. The client can receive the specified data information; the specified data information may be displayed. Thus, the user can obtain the specified data information satisfying the own needs.

For example, when the data information of the bus route needs to be searched 333, the user can construct the application search word "bus"; the application search word 'public transport' can be input in an application search interface of a specified application program so as to search out a specified instant application with a public transport route search function; an information search word "333" may be constructed; the information search word "333" may be input in the information search interface of the specified instant application to search out 333 data information of the bus route.

In the process of implementing the present application, the inventor finds that at least the following problems exist in the prior art:

in the prior art, a user is inconvenient to use the instant application to search data information, the operation is complex, and the experience is not high. The concrete expression is as follows. On the one hand, it is often unclear to the user what type of search functionality the instant application provides. Therefore, it is difficult for the user to construct an appropriate application search term to search out an instant application having a search function matching the own needs. On the other hand, the user needs to input the application search term in the first search term input control; triggering a first search button control to search out an instant application with a search function matched with the requirement of the instant application; then, information search terms need to be input in the second search term input control; the second search button control needs to be triggered to search out the data information meeting the self requirement. Therefore, in the whole data information searching process, a user needs to perform multiple input operations and multiple trigger operations respectively, so that the whole searching process is complicated in operation and low in user experience.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The embodiment of the application provides a searching method. The searching method takes a server as an execution subject. The server may be one server or a server cluster including a plurality of servers. For example, the server may be a jingdong server, a paypal server, a WeChat server, a Google server, or the like.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 6-fig. 10, the present embodiment may include the following method steps. It should be noted that for purposes of explanation, FIG. 1 illustrates various method steps performed in a particular order. However, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present embodiments may include more or fewer method steps. Additionally, the method steps illustrated in FIG. 1 may be performed sequentially or in parallel (e.g., using parallel processors or a multi-threaded environment).

Step S11: specified geographic location data is received from a client.

In this embodiment, the client may be, for example, a pc (personal computer), a server, an industrial personal computer (industrial control computer), a mobile smart phone, a tablet electronic device, a portable computer (e.g., a laptop computer, etc.), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a desktop computer, an intelligent wearable device, or the like.

The client may be provided with a positioning function. The Positioning function may be implemented by a GPS (Global Positioning System), a BDS (BeiDou Navigation Satellite System), a GLONASS (GLONASS Satellite Navigation System), a Galileo Satellite Navigation System (Galileo Satellite Navigation System), a base station Wireless signal, a WIFI (Wireless-Fidelity) signal, a Bluetooth (Bluetooth) signal, or the like, or may be implemented by any combination of the above-mentioned methods.

The specified geographic location data may be used to describe a geographic location of the client, and may specifically be longitude and latitude (longitude and latitude) data. For example, the longitude data of the specified geographic location data may be 116.389550 and the latitude data may be 39.928167.

In this embodiment, as described above, the client may have a positioning function. Therefore, the client can acquire the geographic position data of the client and can upload the geographic position data of the client to the server. The server may receive the uploaded geographical location data, and may use the received geographical location data as the designated geographical location data.

In particular, the client may be installed with a specific application, which may be, for example, a WeChat or a Payment treasure, etc. After the designated application program is operated, the geographic position data of the client can be obtained, and the geographic position data can be uploaded to a server to be obtained. Alternatively, the client may be installed with a designated application program, which may be provided with an information search interface, which may include a search term input box. The user may trigger the search term input box so that the search term input box may obtain a Focus (Focus). In this way, after detecting that the search word input box obtains a focus, the designated application program may obtain the geographic location data of the client, and may upload the obtained geographic location data to a server. Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the client may also obtain the geographic location data of the client in other manners, which is not limited in this embodiment.

The client can specifically acquire the geographical position data of the client through a satellite navigation system (such as a GPS, BDS, GLONASS or Galileo satellite navigation system), also can acquire the geographical position data of the client through a base station signal of mobile communication, and also can acquire the geographical position data of the client through a WIFI device or a Bluetooth device of a third party.

Step S12: at least one target information point is determined based on the specified geographic location data.

In this embodiment, the server may provide a set of information points. The set of Information points may comprise at least one Information Point (Point of Information). Each information point may correspond to a geographic entity, which may be, for example, "qingshan bridge bus stop", "gold cinema movie center store", or "kendyyu times square store", etc.

Each information point may correspond to at least one service tag. The service tag may be used to describe a service provided by the information point, and the service tag may specifically be a text tag or the like. For example, the information point "qingshan bridge bus stop" may provide services as follows: 333, 345 and 378 Suzhou buses are taken at the bus station of the Qingshan bridge. Then, the service label corresponding to the information point "qingshan bridge bus station" may include text labels of qingshan bridge, suzhou, bus station, and the like. As another example, the information point "kendyyu times square shop" may provide the service as: ordering in the kentucky times square shop. Then, the service tag corresponding to the information point "kentucky square" may include text tags of the round square, suzhou, restaurants, and the like.

In one implementation of this embodiment, each information point may correspond to one geographical location data. The geographic position data may be used to describe a geographic position of the information point, and the geographic position data may specifically be latitude and longitude data. For example, the geographical location data of the information point "qingshan bridge bus stop" may be (116.389550, 39.928167). The geographic location data (116.389550, 39.928167) may specifically represent a longitude data of 116.389550 and a latitude data of 39.928167.

In another implementation of this embodiment, each information point may correspond to a geo-location code. The geographical position code may be used to describe a geographical position of the information point, and the geographical position code may be specifically a character string generated by calculating geographical position data of the information point according to a preset algorithm. The preset algorithm may be, for example, a tail-removing algorithm or a GeoHash algorithm. For example, the geo-location code generated by computing the geo-location data (116.389550, 39.928167) according to the GeoHash algorithm may be wx4 g.

In this embodiment, each geolocation code may be used to represent a geographic range. Generally, the number of digits of each geo-location code is inversely related to the geographic range that the geo-location code represents. That is, the greater the number of bits per geolocation code, the smaller the geographic scope represented by the geolocation code, and thus, the more precise the geolocation code describes. For example, the number of bits of the geo-location code GeoHash _ a may be 5 bits, and the number of bits of the geo-location code GeoHash _ B may be 6 bits. Then the geographical position described by the geographical position code GeoHash B is more accurate than the geographical position code GeoHash a.

The prefix of a geo-location code may represent a larger geographical range relative to the one geo-location code. In addition, the geolocation code may represent a larger geographic range with a fewer number of bits of prefix relative to the geolocation code with a greater number of bits of prefix. For example, one geolocation code may be wx4g0ec 1. Then the prefix wx4g0e of the geolocation code, relative to the geolocation code wx4g0ec1, may represent a larger geographic range; the geolocation encodes a larger geographic range than the less significant number of bits of the prefix wx4g0e, which may represent a larger geographic range.

Thus, the server can identify how far and how close the geographic location described by two or more geo-location codes is based on the number of bits with the same prefix for the two or more geo-location codes. Specifically, the more bits of the two or more geo-location codes have the same prefix, the server may identify that the geo-location described by the two or more geo-location codes is closer. Correspondingly, the less the number of bits of the two or more geo-location codes having the same prefix, the server may identify that the geo-location described by the two or more geo-location codes is further away.

In this embodiment, the server may select at least one information point from the information point set based on the designated geographic location data; each of the selected information points may be taken as a target information point. For example, 1, 3, 7, or 12 information points may be selected from the set of information points as target information points.

In an implementation manner of this embodiment, as described above, each information point in the information point set may correspond to one piece of geographic location data. As such, for each information point in the information point set, the server may calculate a geographic distance between the information point and the client based on the geographic location data corresponding to the information point and the specified geographic location data; at least one information point with a geographic distance less than or equal to a preset distance may be selected from the set of information points. The preset distance may be flexibly set according to actual needs, and may be, for example, 500m, 700m, or 1000 m.

For example, the server may calculate the geographical distance using the formula S ═ R · arccos (cosb1 · cosb2 · cos (a1-a2) + sinb1 · sinb 2). Wherein S represents a geographic distance; r represents the radius of the earth; a1 represents longitude data in the geographical location data corresponding to the information point; b1 represents the dimension data in the information point corresponding geographical location data; a2 denotes longitude data in the specified geographical position data; b2 represents dimension data in the specified geographical location data. Of course, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above formula for calculating the geographic distance is merely exemplary, and that there may be other formulas or methods for calculating the geographic distance.

In another implementation manner of this embodiment, as described above, each information point in the information point set may correspond to one piece of geographical location data. As such, the server may also determine a specified geographic range based on the specified geographic location data. The specified geographic range may be any shaped geographic range, such as circular, rectangular, polygonal, etc. The geographic location described by the specified geographic location data may be located at any location within the specified geographic range, such as a center, a diagonal intersection, and the like. Thus, the server can identify whether each information point in the information point set is located within the designated geographic range based on the geographic position data corresponding to the information point; at least one information point located within the specified geographical range may be selected from the set of information points.

For example, the specified geographic location data may be (116.389550, 39.928167). The server may establish a square designated geographical range with the geographical position described by the designated geographical position data as a diagonal intersection point and 1000m as a side length. The square may have a latitude range of [39.923675,39.932659] and a longitude range of [116.383693,116.395407] specifying a geographic range.

The geographical position data corresponding to the information point POI _ a may be (116.385693, 39.925675). The corresponding geographical location data of the information point POI _ B may be (116.385693, 39.942659). Then, the server may recognize that the information point POI _ a is located inside the specified geographical range of the square, and may recognize that the information point POI _ B is located outside the specified geographical range of the square.

In another implementation manner of this embodiment, as described above, each information point in the information point set may correspond to one geo-location code. In this way, the server may calculate the geographical location code corresponding to the designated geographical location data based on a preset algorithm; the calculated geographical position code can be used as a designated geographical position code; the geographical position code corresponding to each information point in the information point set can be identified, and whether the geographical position code and the designated geographical position code meet a preset matching rule or not can be identified; at least one information point corresponding to the geographical position code and the designated geographical position code meeting a preset matching rule can be selected from the information point set. The preset algorithm may be, for example, a tail-removing algorithm or a GeoHash algorithm.

The matching rule may be a numerical value with the same prefix number in the geo-location code, for example, it may be 7 bits, 6 bits, or 5 bits, etc. In the actual process, the numerical values with the same prefix digit in the matching rule can be flexibly set according to the requirement. For example, when at least one information point in a larger geographic range needs to be selected, the numerical value with the same prefix digit in the matching rule can be set to be smaller; when at least one information point in a smaller geographic range needs to be selected, the numerical value with the same prefix digit in the matching rule can be set to be larger.

Step S13: and determining at least one target instant application and at least one target search word corresponding to each target information point.

In this embodiment, the server may provide a set of instant applications. The set of instant applications may include at least one instant application. The Instant application may be an application that can be used without installation, and specific examples thereof may be a WeChat applet of Tencent, a Paoba applet of Aliiba, and an Instant application (Android Apps) of Google. For example, the instant application may be "8684 bus", or "kentucky +", etc.

Each instant application may correspond to at least one attribute information, and the attribute information may be, for example, a function tag of the instant application, description information of the instant application, an inbound link number (inbound link) of the instant application, an outbound link number (outbound link) of the instant application, or a PageRank value of the instant application. Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the attribute information is only an example, and in practice, the instant application may also correspond to other attribute information or attribute information.

The function label corresponding to the instant application may be used to describe a function provided by the instant application, and the function label may be a text label or the like. For example, the instant application "8684 bus" may provide bus route and/or bus stop search functionality. Then, the function tag corresponding to the instant application "8684 bus" may include a text tag such as a bus. As another example, an instant application of "kendiry +" may provide a dining function. Then, the functional label corresponding to the "kendiry +" of the instant application may include a text label of ordering, etc. Of course, in order to describe the functions provided by the instant application "kendiry +", the functional tags corresponding to the instant application "kendiry +" may also include functional tags such as hamburger, kendiry, KFC, and the like.

The description information corresponding to the instant application may be used to describe in detail the functions provided by the instant application. The description information of the instant application can be text information, image information, any combination thereof and the like. For example, the description information of the instant application may be text profile information of the instant application, etc. Specifically, for example, the description information of the instant application "8684 public transport" may be: 8684 the public transport collects the information of more than 400 cities across the country, and provides the most convenient travel scheme for the users by using the algorithm.

The number of inbound links corresponding to the instant application may be the number of links pointing to the instant application program, and the links may be, for example, URL addresses or the like. The number of out-links for an instant application may be the number of links the instant application points to other instant applications. The PageRank value of the instant application may be a value calculated using a PageRank algorithm based on the number of incoming chains and the number of outgoing chains of the instant application.

In this embodiment, for each target information point, the server may select at least one instant application from the instant application set as a target instant application corresponding to the target information point.

In one implementation of this embodiment, the server may provide a set of information points and a set of instant applications, as described above. Each information point in the information point set can correspond to at least one service label, and each instant application in the instant application set can correspond to at least one function label. Thus, for each target information point, the server can perform semantic matching on the service tag corresponding to the target information point and the functional tag corresponding to the instant application in the instant application set; at least one instant application corresponding to the successfully matched functional label can be used as a target instant application corresponding to the target information point. Wherein, here, successful matching can be understood as: the two tags are identical or the semantics of the two tag representations are identical. For example, a bus stop and a bus stop may be considered to represent the same bus stop semantics.

For example, the set of instant applications may include the instant applications "8684 public transport" and "kentucky +". The function label of the instant application "8684 public transport" may include text labels such as public transport, and the function label of the instant application "kendiry +" may include text labels such as meal ordering, hamburger, kendiry, and KFC. The service label of the target information point 'Qingshan bridge bus station' may include text labels of Qingshan bridge, Suzhou, bus station, and the like.

Then, the server can perform semantic matching on service labels of the Qingshan bridge, Suzhou or bus station corresponding to the target information point 'Qingshan bridge bus station' and the function label bus, meal ordering, hamburger, Kendeji and KFC corresponding to each instant application in the instant application set respectively to obtain the successfully matched function label bus; the instant application '8684 bus' corresponding to the function tag bus can be used as the target instant application corresponding to the target information point 'qingshan bridge bus stop'.

In another implementation of this embodiment, the server may provide a set of information points and a set of instant applications, as described above. Each information point in the set of information points may correspond to at least one service tag, and each instant application in the set of instant applications may correspond to at least one attribute information. Thus, for each target information point, the server may calculate, based on the service tag corresponding to the target information point and at least one attribute information corresponding to each instant application in the instant application set, a feature value corresponding to each instant application in the instant application set; at least one instant application with a characteristic value greater than or equal to a preset threshold value can be selected from the instant application set as a target instant application corresponding to the target information point.

Specifically, for each target information point, for each instant application in the instant application set, the server may calculate, based on the service tag of the target information and at least one attribute information corresponding to the instant application, a feature value corresponding to the instant application using a preset function. For example, the at least one attribute information corresponding to the instant application may include description information of the instant application, an in-chain number of the instant application, and an out-chain number of the instant application, and then the server may use a preset function Score ═ a · CS + b · PM + c · PR + d to calculate a characteristic value corresponding to the instant application, where a, b, c, and d are coefficients, respectively; CS represents the word frequency of the service label of the target information appearing in the description information of the instant application; PM represents the number of incoming chains of the instant application; PR denotes the number of out-links for the instant application. Of course, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above-mentioned predetermined function is only an example, and there may be other functions or methods to calculate the feature value corresponding to the instant application.

It should be noted that the preset function and the preset threshold may be flexibly set by a developer according to actual needs. Of course, the preset function and the preset threshold may also be obtained by training through a machine learning algorithm. Specifically, at least one sample target information point and at least one sample instant application set can be obtained; the at least one sample target information point and the at least one sample immediate application set may be trained according to a machine learning algorithm, so as to obtain the preset function and the preset threshold. The machine learning algorithms may include naive bayes, decision trees, logistic regression, neural networks, and the like.

In this embodiment, the server may provide at least one search term set. Each set of search terms may include at least one historical search term and may correspond to a user identification. The user identifier may be used to identify a user, for example, an account, a mailbox, a mobile phone number, a nickname, and the like of the user. The historical search terms in each set of search terms may be from the user identified by the corresponding user identification for that set of search terms. For example, the user identifier of zhangsan may be zhangsan, and the client may upload each search term input by zhangsan to the server. The server may receive the search term uploaded by the client, and may use the received search term as a historical search term in a search term set corresponding to the user identifier zhangsan.

As such, the server may receive a specified user identification from a client; a target search term set corresponding to the specified user identification can be obtained from the at least one search term set; for each target information point, at least one historical search word can be selected from the target search word set as at least one target search word corresponding to the target information point.

The specified user identifier may be a user identifier of a current login user of the client or a user identifier of a historical login user. Specifically, the client may obtain a user identifier of a current login user or a historical login user, and may upload the obtained user identifier to the server. The server may receive the uploaded user identifier, and may use the received user identifier as a designated user identifier. In particular, the client may be installed with a specific application, which may be, for example, a WeChat or a Payment treasure, etc. After the designated application program is operated, the user identification of the current login user or the historical login user can be obtained, and the user identification can be uploaded to a server to obtain the user identification. Alternatively, the client may be installed with a designated application program, which may be provided with an information search interface, which may include a search term input box. The user may trigger the search term input box so that the search term input box may obtain focus. In this way, after detecting that the search word input box obtains a focus, the designated application program may obtain a user identifier of the current login user or the historical login user, and may upload the obtained user identifier to the server. Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the client may also obtain the user identifier of the current login user or the historical login user in other manners, which is not limited in this embodiment. It should be noted that the client may obtain the user identifier of the current login user or the historical login user before or after obtaining the geographical location data of the client. Of course, the client may also obtain the user identifier of the current login user or the historical login user while obtaining the geographical location data of the client.

Specifically, for each target information point, the server may perform semantic matching on the service tag of the target information point and the historical search term in the target search term set; at least one history search word successfully matched can be used as a target search word corresponding to the target information point. Here, successful matching here can be understood as: the service identification is the same as the historical search term, or the service tag has the same semantic meaning as the historical search term.

For example, the set of target search terms may include the historical search terms 333 roads public transportation, chicken, kentucky. The service label corresponding to the target information point of the Qingshan bridge bus station can comprise text labels of the Qingshan bridge, Suzhou, the bus station and the like. Then, the server can semantically match a service label Qingshan bridge, Suzhou or bus station corresponding to a target information point 'Qingshan bridge bus station' with a historical search term bus 333 way, Dawanji and Kendeji in the target search term set; 333 routes of the history search words which are successfully matched can be used as target search words corresponding to the target information point 'Qingshan bridge bus stop'.

In one implementation of this embodiment, each search term set may further include at least one sub search term set. Each set of sub-search terms may include at least one historical search term and may correspond to a type tag. The type tag may be used to indicate the type of the historical search term in the set of sub-search terms. The type tag may be a text tag, and the like, and the type may be a bus route, a travel destination, a dish name, and the like.

For example, the set of Search words Search _ Query _ a may include a set of sub-Search words Search _ Query _ a1, Search _ Query _ a2, Search _ Query _ A3. The type tag corresponding to the sub Search word set Search _ Query _ a1 may include a bus route, and specifically may include the history Search words 333 route, 345 route, 578 route, and the like. The type tag corresponding to the sub Search word set Search _ Query _ a2 may include a travel destination, and specifically may include a history Search word round time square, a suzhou park, and the like. The type tag corresponding to the sub-Search term set Search _ Query _ a3 may be a name of a dish, and specifically may include a historical Search term big-plate chicken, hamburger, and the like.

In this way, in this embodiment, after receiving the specified user identifier from the client, the server may obtain, from the at least one search term set, a target search term set corresponding to the specified user identifier. Therefore, for each target information point, the server can perform semantic matching on the service tag corresponding to the target information point and the type tag corresponding to each sub search word set in the target search word set; the sub search word set corresponding to the successfully matched type label can be used as a target sub search word set; at least one historical search term can be selected from the target sub-search term set to serve as a target search term corresponding to the target information point. Specifically, the server may select all or part of the historical search terms from the target sub-search term set as target search terms corresponding to the target information point. For example, the server may select at least one historical search term having the same service tag or the same semantic meaning as the service tag corresponding to the target information point from the target sub-search term set as the target search term corresponding to the target information point.

Step S14: and searching at least one search result matched with at least one target search word corresponding to each target information point by using at least one target instant application corresponding to each target information point.

In this embodiment, for each target instant application corresponding to each target information point, the server may use the target instant application to search for at least one target search term corresponding to the target information point, so as to obtain at least one search result corresponding to the target information point.

In particular, as previously described, the server may provide a set of instant applications. The set of instant applications may include at least one instant application. Each instant application may correspond to a server. For convenience of description, a server executing the embodiment of the present application may be referred to as a first server, and a server corresponding to the instant application may be referred to as a second server. In this way, for each target instant application corresponding to each target information point, the first server may send a search request to the second server corresponding to the target instant application, where the search request may carry at least one target search term corresponding to the target information point. The second server corresponding to the target information point can receive the search request and can search at least one target search word corresponding to the target information point to obtain at least one search result; the at least one search result may be sent to the first server. The first server may receive the at least one search result as a search result corresponding to the target information point.

For example, the target instant application corresponding to the target information point "qingshan bridge bus stop" may include "8684 bus" and "drip bus", and the corresponding target search term may include 333 routes.

Then, the first server may send a search request to a second server corresponding to the target instant application "8684 public transport," where the search request may carry target search terms 333. The second server corresponding to the target instant application "8684 public transport" may receive the search request, and may search for the target search term 333 road to obtain at least one search result; the at least one search result may be sent to the first server. The first server may receive the at least one search result as a search result corresponding to a target information point "qingshan bridge bus stop".

Similarly, the first server may also send a search request to a second server corresponding to the target instant application "drip public transportation", where the search request may carry target search terms 333. The second server corresponding to the target instant application 'dripping public transportation' can receive the search request, and can search for a target search word 333 way to obtain at least one search result; the at least one search result may be sent to the first server. The first server may receive the at least one search result as a search result corresponding to a target information point "qingshan bridge bus stop".

Step S15: and sending at least one search result corresponding to each target information point to the client.

In this embodiment, the server may send at least one search result corresponding to each target information point to the client. The client can receive and display at least one search result corresponding to each target information point.

For example, in the aforementioned step S11, the client may be installed with a specific application program, and the specific application program may be provided with an information search interface, and the information search interface may include a search word input box. After detecting that the search word input box obtains a focus, the designated application program can obtain the geographic position data of the client, and can upload the obtained geographic position data to a server. Then, in step S14, the client may present at least one search result corresponding to each target information point on the information search interface.

In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the server may further send, to the client, at least one target application identifier corresponding to each target information point, where each target application identifier may be used to identify one target instant application corresponding to the target information point, and the target application identifier may specifically be, for example, a name, an icon, a link address, and the like of the target instant application. The client can receive and display at least one target application identifier corresponding to each target information point, so that when a user is unsatisfied with a search result displayed by the client, the user can obtain a corresponding target instant application based on the displayed target application identifier, and then can search by using the obtained target instant application to obtain a new search result.

In this embodiment, the user experience may be: when a user carries a client to a position near a certain geographic position, the client can send geographic position data corresponding to the geographic position to a server. The server can receive the geographic position data sent by the client; the received geographic location data may be designated geographic location data; at least one target information point may be determined based on the specified geographic location data; at least one target instant application and at least one target search term corresponding to each target information point can be determined; at least one target instant application corresponding to each target information point can be used for searching out at least one search result matched with at least one target search word corresponding to the target information point; at least one search result corresponding to each target information point may be sent to the client. The client can display at least one search result corresponding to each target information point. Therefore, the user can obtain at least one search result without inputting search words at the client and triggering the search button control to perform search operation.

For example, when zhang san carries a client to travel to a place near a certain bus stop, zhang san can obtain a bus route or a travel route without constructing an application search word and an information search word or performing multiple input operations and multiple search trigger operations on the client. For example, a bus route taken by Zhang III frequently or a travel route between the bus stop and Zhang III frequently traveling destination is obtained.

In this embodiment, the server may receive specified geographic location data from the client; at least one target information point may be determined based on the specified geographic location data; at least one target instant application and at least one target search term corresponding to each target information point can be determined; at least one target instant application corresponding to each target information point can be used for searching out at least one search result matched with at least one target search word corresponding to the target information point; at least one search result corresponding to each target information point may be sent to the client. Compared with the prior art, in the embodiment, after receiving the specified geographic position data from the client, the server can directly return at least one search result to the client. Therefore, the method and the device can avoid processes of constructing the application search word, inputting the application search word in the first search word input control, constructing the information search word, inputting the information search word in the second search word input control and the like, so that the user operation in the whole search process is simplified, and the user experience is improved.

Specifically, the server may select at least one word directly from the set of words as a search word. Or, the server may further perform filtering processing on the words in the word set by using a preset filtering rule to obtain a sub-word set, where the sub-word set may include at least one word; at least one word may be selected from the set of subword words as a search term. The preset filtering rule may be, for example, to filter out words included in a preset stop word set, where the preset stop word set may include at least one word that is no longer used. Alternatively, the preset filtering rule may be, for example, to filter out non-independent ideographic words, where the non-independent ideographic words may be, for example, o.

Specifically, the server may arbitrarily select at least one word from the word set or the sub-word set as a search word. Of course, the server may also select at least one word from the word set or the sub-word set as a search word in other manners. For example, the server may be provided with a preset dictionary.

It should be noted that, in the present specification, each embodiment is described in a progressive manner, and the same and similar parts among the embodiments may be referred to each other, and each embodiment is described with emphasis on differences from other embodiments. In particular, for server and computer storage media embodiments, because they are substantially similar to method embodiments, the description is relatively simple, and reference may be made to some descriptions of method embodiments for relevant points.

In addition, it is understood that one skilled in the art, after reading this document, may conceive of combinations of some or all of the embodiments recited in this document that are within the scope of the present disclosure and protection without the exercise of inventive faculty.

In the 90 s of the 20 th century, improvements in a technology could clearly distinguish between improvements in hardware (e.g., improvements in circuit structures such as diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) and improvements in software (improvements in process flow). However, as technology advances, many of today's process flow improvements have been seen as direct improvements in hardware circuit architecture. Designers almost always obtain the corresponding hardware circuit structure by programming an improved method flow into the hardware circuit. Thus, it cannot be said that an improvement in the process flow cannot be realized by hardware physical modules. For example, a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), such as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), is an integrated circuit whose Logic functions are determined by programming the Device by a user. A digital system is "integrated" on a PLD by the designer's own programming without requiring the chip manufacturer to design and fabricate a dedicated integrated circuit chip 2. Furthermore, nowadays, instead of manually making an Integrated Circuit chip, such Programming is often implemented by "logic compiler" software, which is similar to a software compiler used in program development and writing, but the original code before compiling is also written by a specific Programming Language, which is called Hardware Description Language (HDL), and HDL is not only one but many, such as abel (advanced Boolean Expression Language), ahdl (alternate Language Description Language), traffic, pl (core unified Programming Language), HDCal, JHDL (Java Hardware Description Language), langue, Lola, HDL, laspam, hardbyscript Description Language (vhr Description Language), and the like, which are currently used by Hardware compiler-software (Hardware Description Language-software). It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that hardware circuitry that implements the logical method flows can be readily obtained by merely slightly programming the method flows into an integrated circuit using the hardware description languages described above.

The systems, devices, modules or units illustrated in the above embodiments may be implemented by a computer chip or an entity, or by a product with certain functions.

The systems, devices, modules or units illustrated in the above embodiments may be implemented by a computer chip or an entity, or by a product with certain functions.

The application may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by a computer. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. The application may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote computer storage media including memory storage devices.
