It should be understood that the method steps shown in any of the flowcharts of the present application are not required to be performed in the exact order shown. Some steps may be performed before others, or incorporated into other steps, some steps may be performed concurrently, and so on.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a network topology according to the present invention. Comprising a network device 2 and a plurality of user devices 1. The network device 2 may be connected to a plurality of user devices 1 via a network, where the network includes, but is not limited to, the internet, a wide area network, a metropolitan area network, a local area network, a VPN network, a wireless Ad Hoc network (Ad Hoc network), and the like. In addition, network devices 2 include, but are not limited to, network servers, network hosts, and the like. The user equipment 1 may be any electronic product that can interact with a user through a keyboard, a mouse, a remote controller, a touch panel, or a handwriting device, for example, a computer, a mobile phone, a PDA, a tablet computer, a game console, or an IPTV. The communication between the network device 2 and the user equipment 1 may be based on packet data transmission such as TCP/IP protocol, UDP protocol, etc. The user equipment 1 and the network and communication means connected thereto are only examples, and other existing or future network devices, user equipment or network and communication means may be applicable to the present invention, and shall be included in the scope of the present invention and incorporated herein by reference.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a system structure for user text input in network interaction according to an aspect of the present invention.
And when the user needs to adopt the input method for inputting, activating the input method. Specifically, a script or function may be inserted into a client or a website accessed by the user to enable the user to activate the input method of the present invention. For example, if the MSN, QQ, or hectomethi where the user logs in has a tag that activates the input method, the user can input text by the input method after activating the tag. Or, the webpage accessed by the user has the label for activating the input method, and after the label is activated, the user can input characters on the webpage of the website through the input method. Or, the input method is the only input method currently on the user equipment 1, and the input method is in an activated state under the condition that any user wants to input text.
The user equipment 1 of the present invention comprises a first acquiring means 11, a first transmitting means 12 and a first receiving means 13, and the network equipment 2 of the present invention comprises a second receiving means 21, a second acquiring means 22 and a second transmitting means 23.
The first obtaining means 11 is used for obtaining an input sequence provided by a user. Specifically, when the user activates the input method of the present invention, the user equipment 1 is activated, and when the user performs an input in a visited client (e.g. an input box of an IM chat tool such as QQ, MSN, Hi, etc.) or a web page (e.g. a message distribution area of a community), the first obtaining device 11 obtains an input sequence provided by the user. For example, a user moves a cursor to a text entry area (an input box of an IM instant chat tool, a text entry area of a community, etc.) and clicks a mouse, and then input can be made in the text entry area. Without loss of generality, assume that the user taps the following keys on the keyboard in sequence, where each key tap is 1 and the time to press is below a threshold:
C,A,O,M,E,I,W,A,N,G。
according to an embodiment of the present invention, the information provided by each of the above-mentioned strokes of the user is put into the input sequence, i.e., when the user presses the C key, an input information indicating that the C key is pressed is obtained by the computer 11, and "C" is entered into the input sequence. In the following, the input sequence is identified by the keys or key combinations represented by the information constituting the input sequence, and takes the form of the input sequence "XX", the double quote parts representing the corresponding keys or key combinations. For example, an input sequence representing the pressing of key C is referred to as input sequence "C", and an input sequence representing the sequential pressing of keys C, a, O, M, E, I is referred to as input sequence "CAOMEI".
The first sending means 12 is configured to send the input sequence to the network device 2. The specific transmission procedure is dependent on the network the user equipment 1 is accessing. For example, if the user equipment 1 is a computer and the networking mode with the network equipment 2 is the internet, the first sending device 12 can send the input sequence "C" to the network equipment 2 through the internet.
The second receiving means 21 is adapted to receive a user-provided input sequence sent by said user equipment 1.
The second obtaining means 22 is used for obtaining the input vocabulary entry option set generated by matching query in the word stock based on the input sequence. The second obtaining means 22 may call a thesaurus provided in the network device 2, perform matching query in the thesaurus, and generate an input entry option set, or call a public interface of a third server, call a thesaurus provided in the third server, perform matching query in the thesaurus, and generate an input entry option set. Specifically, the second acquisition means 22 performs a matching query in the thesaurus based on the input information "C" to generate the input term option set. The second obtaining device 22 uses different algorithms to translate the input sequence "C" according to different input modes, which include general english alphabet input, chinese pinyin, chinese strokes, and so on. Taking english input as an example, if the associative input is not considered, the second obtaining device 22 will generate an input entry option set containing one input entry option, i.e. the english letter C. If associative input is considered, this set will include at least one word beginning with the letter c. If Chinese pinyin input is used, the input entry option set will include each Chinese character having a pinyin time-first letter C. For example, if it is assumed that the user enters chinese, the set includes chinese characters such as "from, here, where, here, +, eating, going, getting, turning, bad. Hereinafter, the same identification means is used for the input sequence and the input entry option set obtained by inputting the input sequence to briefly clarify their correspondence, and the set is referred to as a set "C".
The second sending means 23 is configured to send the set of input term options to the user equipment 1. Likewise, the specific sending process is dependent on the network the user equipment 1 is accessing.
The first receiving means 13 is used for receiving the input entry option set provided by the network device based on the input information.
The first obtaining device 11 is further configured to obtain, through human-computer interaction, selection indication information used by the user to select an input entry option, where the human-computer interaction may be various human-computer interaction methods in the prior art. The first acquiring means 11 first informs the user of the collection by any known means of providing human-readable information by a computer, such as a screen display, a speaker, etc. The present example takes the screen display as an example without loss of generality. Since more Chinese characters are contained in the set "C" and it may be difficult to display them completely in a prompt bar, 5 entry options may be displayed in the prompt bar per row and given sequence number labels before, to facilitate the user's selection by pressing the number keys on the keyboard. In addition, the prompt bar also comprises a front button and a back button, so that a user can conveniently click the front button and the back button through a mouse to display the input entry options of the next row. Preferably, the user may also command the display of the next row of entry options by pressing a designated key on the keyboard, such as the pagedown key. The user may then select one of these entry options through various prior art techniques. For example, selection may be made by typing in a number key selection via a keyboard, clicking a mouse selection, clicking a touch screen selection, voice recognition selection, and the like. However, regardless of the selection method, a selection instruction message is generated, for example, a number indicated by a numeric key of a keyboard, click information of a mouse, click information of a touch panel, information of voice, or the like, or the selection instruction message itself may include a term selected by the user.
The second sending means 23 is further configured to send the set of input term options to the user equipment 1. Likewise, the specific sending process is dependent on the network the user equipment 1 is accessing.
The first receiving means 13 is further configured to receive a set of input term options provided by the network device based on the input information.
The first obtaining device 11 is further configured to obtain, through human-computer interaction, selection indication information used by the user to select an input entry option, where the human-computer interaction mode may be any human-computer interaction mode in the prior art. The first acquiring means 11 first informs the user of the collection by any known means of providing human-readable information by a computer, such as a screen display, a speaker, etc. The present example takes the screen display as an example without loss of generality. Since more Chinese characters are contained in the set "C" and it may be difficult to display them completely in a prompt bar, 5 entry options may be displayed in the prompt bar per row and given sequence number labels before, to facilitate the user's selection by pressing the number keys on the keyboard. In addition, the prompt bar also comprises a front button and a back button, so that a user can conveniently click the front button and the back button through a mouse to display the input entry options of the next row. Preferably, the user may also command the display of the next row of entry options by pressing a designated key on the keyboard, such as the pagedown key. The user may then select one of these entry options through various prior art techniques. For example, selection may be made by typing in a number key selection via a keyboard, clicking a mouse selection, clicking a touch screen selection, voice recognition selection, and the like. However, regardless of the selection method, a selection instruction message is generated, for example, a number indicated by a numeric key of a keyboard, click information of a mouse, click information of a touch panel, information of voice, or the like, or the selection instruction message itself may include a term selected by the user.
The first sending means 12 is further configured to send the selection indication information to the network device 2.
The second receiving means 21 is further configured to obtain selection indication information sent by the user equipment 1 and indicating that the user selects an input entry option.
The second obtaining device 22 is further configured to obtain the input entry option selected by the user equipment according to the selection indication information. For example, if the number indicated by the numeric key of the keyboard is 3, and the entry option 3 to be currently displayed in the user equipment 1 is "peat", the "peat" is obtained as the entry option of this time; obtaining an input entry option 3 which is displayed in the user equipment 1 and clicked by a mouse, wherein the input entry option is 'peat', and the obtained 'peat' is the input entry option; similarly, if the clicked position of the touch screen is the input entry option 3 displayed in the user equipment 1 and the input entry option is "peat", the "peat" is obtained as the input entry option, and the like. Or the obtained selection indication information directly contains 'peat coal' as the entry option of the current input.
Referring to fig. 3, when the user inputs all the contents desired to be input and enters the interactive phase, the user will give the user equipment 1 a confirmation message, and then:
the first obtaining device 11 is further configured to obtain confirmation information, which is input by the user and used for performing network interaction on the input content, where the input content includes the input terms previously selected by the user. For example, in the IM instant chat tools such as MSN, QQ, and Baidu hi, when the user inputs all the information to be input, the user clicks the "send" button, or clicks "Enter", or speaks "send" confirmation information to the voice recognition system, and when the user inputs all the information to be input in the community, the user equipment 1 clicks the "post" confirmation button, and the like, the user equipment 1 acquires the confirmation information.
The first obtaining device 11 is further configured to obtain confirmation information, which is input by the user and used for performing network interaction on the input content, where the input content includes the input terms previously selected by the user. For example, in the IM instant chat tools such as MSN, QQ, and Baidu hi, when the user inputs all the information to be input, the user clicks the "send" button, or clicks "Enter", or speaks "send" confirmation information to the voice recognition system, and when the user inputs all the information to be input in the community, the user equipment 1 clicks the "post" confirmation button, and the like, the user equipment 1 acquires the confirmation information.
The first sending device 11 is further configured to send confirmation information to the network device 2, where the confirmation information may be only confirmation information that informs the network device 2 that the user can input the item selected so far for interaction, or confirmation information that includes input content that the user wishes to interact.
The second receiving means 21 is further configured to receive confirmation information sent by the user equipment 1 for performing network interaction on the input content.
The confirmation information executing device 24 executes corresponding operations according to the confirmation information. Specifically, the network device 2 determines the current environment of the user (for example, in an instant chat tool environment such as IM or in a community), and performs a corresponding operation according to the environment (for example, sending input content to a chat object or publishing in the community).
In a preferred embodiment, the user equipment 1 further includes an interactive object information sending device 14 and a first instant communication establishing device 15, and the network equipment 2 further includes a second instant communication establishing device 26:
the interaction object information sending means 14 is used for sending information of an object which desires to interact to the network device 2. The object that is desired to be interacted with may be one object or a plurality of objects, and the object may be a machine (such as a widget) in addition to other users, and the information of the object that is desired to be interacted with is information that enables the network device 2 to identify the object that is desired to be interacted with. For example, in the MSN chat, if the user selects to send an instant message to a contact in the MSN, the interaction object information sending device 14 sends MSN identification information (such as an account number) of the contact to be interacted to the network device 2; if the request for sending the instant message is a request for sending the instant message to a plurality of contacts, the information of the plurality of contacts to be contacted is sent to the network device 2; if the object of the instant message request is a group, the identification information (e.g., group number) of the group is sent to the network device 2.
The second receiving means 21 is further configured to receive information of an object that the user equipment desires to interact with, which is sent by the user equipment.
The second instant communication establishing means 26 is used for establishing instant communication with the object with which the user equipment 1 wishes to interact. The first instant communication establishing means 15 is used for establishing instant communication with the object which is desired to interact through the network device 2. That is, the user establishes contact with the object that the user wishes to interact with through the network device 2, the user inputs the sequence through the user device 1, and the network device 2 obtains the input content of the user and transmits the input content to the instant messaging object that the user wishes to interact with according to the confirmation of the user.
It should be noted that the user may receive information transmitted from another user via the network device 2 as an object to be interacted with. The user equipment 1 may first establish contact with the object desired to interact through the network equipment 2 and then transmit the content through steps S1 to S14. It is also possible to send the content to the network device 2 first and then to send information of the object that wants to interact to establish the connection.
In a preferred embodiment, the user equipment 1 further comprises a user related information obtaining device 16, and the confirmation information executing device 24 further comprises a vocabulary entry option issuing device (not shown):
the user-related information acquisition means 16 acquires the user-related information. The related information may be identity information of the user (such as login information of an instant chat tool or a community), setting of an interactive tool, an operating environment of the user equipment, and the like.
The first sending means 12 is further configured to send the information related to the user to the network device 2.
The second receiving means 21 is further configured to receive the relevant information of the user sent by the user equipment 1.
And the entry option release device is used for releasing the input entry options selected by the user in the community according to the related information of the user. For example, when a user logs in a community, the first sending device 12 sends the login information of the user to the second receiving device 21, and when the user inputs the content to be input in the friend dynamic input box of the community, and then confirms the sending, the confirmation information executing device 24 identifies the identity of the user according to the login information of the user, acquires the friend information of the user, and publishes the content input by the user in the friend dynamic through the vocabulary entry option publishing device.
In a preferred embodiment, the network device 2 further comprises a calling device (not shown) and a sharing device (not shown):
the calling device is used for calling the input history of the user according to the related information of the user.
And the sharing device is used for sharing the input history in the interactive object.
Specifically, through the related information of the user, particularly the identity information in the related information, the calling device can call the history input record of the user under the identity, and share the history input record with the object in the interaction through the sharing device, so that the interaction object can better communicate. For example, if a user discusses a professional problem in a professional group, although a professional vocabulary is difficult to type, the user can type the professional vocabulary more conveniently by sharing the history input records among the users in the group.
In a preferred embodiment, the user does not make a selection from the set "C", but presses the A key of the keyboard, as is known to those skilled in the art, at which point the set of alternative entries will converge. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: as one of the alternative ways to each other: the first obtaining device 11 and the first sending device 12 perform obtaining and sending operations again, and the second receiving device 21 receives a new input sequence sent by the ue again, so as to obtain an input sequence "a"; thereafter, step S4, the second obtaining device 22 integrates the new input sequence with the previously received input sequence to obtain an integrated result, and obtains a new input term option set generated by performing a matching query in the thesaurus based on the integrated result; specifically, the second obtaining device 22 integrates the previous input sequence "C" and the new input sequence "a" to obtain an integration result "CA", or a new input sequence "CA", and then uses this as an entry to search for corresponding input entry options from the thesaurus again, and returns a set "CA" formed by these input entry options to the user equipment 1.
In a preferred embodiment, the second obtaining means 22 is further configured to:
-performing a matching query in said lexicon based on said input sequence, resulting in a preliminary query result;
-processing the preliminary query result to generate the set of input term options according to the user's input history.
Specifically, in the query result obtained based on the input sequence "CAOMEI", strawberry "is the first entry in the input entry option set, and then, through the input history of the user," peat "is the entry more commonly used by the user, the position of the entry is corrected to the first entry. Because the input history of the user is obtained according to the related information of the user, particularly the identity information of the user, the recorded input history of the user is different under different identities, so that the user can use different word banks for different identities. For example, if a user uses a professional word in a professional forum, the user inputs "caomeei" when he posts information in the professional forum, and "peat" is used as the first entry option according to his history. And when the user chats with other users in the instant communication tool, the user can input 'CAOMEI' and 'strawberry' as the first entry option, so that great convenience is brought to the user.
In a preferred embodiment, the network device 2 further performs the following steps further including the updating means 25:
the updating device 25 is used for updating the word stock according to the input entry options selected by the user; therefore, the universal word stock can be used for learning, and when a large number of users use a word with high frequency in a short time, the word can be quickly recorded by the universal word stock. The updating device 25 is further configured to update the historical input record of the user according to the input entry option selected by the user; thus, the personal word stock of the user can learn the input habits of the user.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart of a method for user text input in network interaction according to an aspect of the present invention.
And when the user needs to adopt the input method for inputting, activating the input method. Specifically, a script or function may be inserted into a client or a website accessed by the user to enable the user to activate the input method of the present invention. For example, if the MSN, QQ, or hectomethi where the user logs in has a tag that activates the input method, the user can input text by the input method after activating the tag. Or, the webpage accessed by the user has the label for activating the input method, and after the label is activated, the user can input characters on the webpage of the website through the input method. Or, the input method is the only input method currently on the user equipment 1, and the input method is in an activated state under the condition that any user wants to input text.
In step S1, the user device 1 acquires an input sequence provided by the user. Specifically, when the user activates the input method of the present invention, the user equipment 1 is activated, and when the user performs input in the accessed client (e.g. input box of IM chat tools such as QQ, MSN, Hi, etc.) or web page (e.g. message distribution area of community), the user equipment 1 obtains the input sequence provided by the user. For example, a user moves a cursor to a text entry area (an input box of an IM instant chat tool, a text entry area of a community, etc.) and clicks a mouse, and then input can be made in the text entry area. Without loss of generality, assume that the user taps the following keys on the keyboard in sequence, where each key tap is 1 and the time to press is below a threshold: c, A, O, M, E, I, W, A, N, G.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the information provided by each of the above-mentioned strokes of the user is put into the input sequence, i.e., when the user presses the C key, an input information indicating that the C key is pressed is obtained by the computer 11, and "C" is entered into the input sequence. In the following, the input sequence is identified by the keys or key combinations represented by the information constituting the input sequence, and takes the form of the input sequence "XX", the double quote parts representing the corresponding keys or key combinations. For example, an input sequence representing the pressing of key C is referred to as input sequence "C", and an input sequence representing the sequential pressing of keys C, a, O, M, E, I is referred to as input sequence "CAOMEI".
In step S2, the user equipment 1 transmits the input sequence to the network equipment 2. The specific transmission procedure is dependent on the network the user equipment 1 is accessing. For example, if the user device 1 is a computer and the networking manner with the network device 2 is the internet, the user device 1 may transmit the input sequence "C" to the network device 2 through the internet.
The network device 2 receives the user-provided input sequence sent by the user device 1 in step S3.
In step S4, the network device 2 acquires the input term option set generated by performing a matching query in the thesaurus based on the input sequence. The network device 2 may call a thesaurus provided in the network device 2, perform matching query in the thesaurus, and generate an input entry option set, or call a public interface of a third server, call a thesaurus provided in the third server, perform matching query in the thesaurus, and generate an input entry option set. Specifically, the network device 2 performs a matching query in the thesaurus based on the input information "C" to generate the input entry option set. The network device 2 uses different algorithms to translate the input sequence "C" according to different input modes, which include general english alphabet input, chinese pinyin, chinese strokes, and the like. Taking english input as an example, if associative input is not considered, the network device 2 generates an input entry option set containing one entry option, i.e., the english letter C. If associative input is considered, this set will include at least one word beginning with the letter c. If Chinese pinyin input is used, the input entry option set will include each Chinese character having a pinyin time-first letter C. For example, if it is assumed that the user enters chinese, the set includes chinese characters such as "from, here, where, here, +, eating, going, getting, turning, bad. Hereinafter, the same identification means is used for the input sequence and the input entry option set obtained by inputting the input sequence to briefly clarify their correspondence, and the set is referred to as a set "C".
In step S5, the network device 2 sends the input term option set to the user device 1. Likewise, the specific sending process depends on the network the user equipment 1 is accessing.
In step S6, the user equipment 1 receives the input term option set provided by the network equipment based on the input information.
In step S7, the user equipment 1 obtains selection instruction information for selecting the entry option by the user through human-computer interaction, where the human-computer interaction may be various human-computer interaction methods in the prior art. The user device 1 first informs the user of the collection by any known means of providing human-readable information by a computer, such as a screen display, a speaker, etc., as typical examples. The present example takes the screen display as an example without loss of generality. Since more Chinese characters are contained in the set "C" and it may be difficult to display them completely in a prompt bar, 5 entry options may be displayed in the prompt bar per row and given sequence number labels before, to facilitate the user's selection by pressing the number keys on the keyboard. In addition, the prompt bar also comprises a front button and a back button, so that a user can conveniently click the front button and the back button through a mouse to display the input entry options of the next row. Preferably, the user may also command the display of the next row of entry options by pressing a designated key on the keyboard, such as the pagedown key. The user may then select one of these entry options through various prior art techniques. For example, selection may be made by typing in a number key selection via a keyboard, clicking a mouse selection, clicking a touch screen selection, voice recognition selection, and the like. However, regardless of the selection method, a selection instruction message is generated, for example, a number indicated by a numeric key of a keyboard, click information of a mouse, click information of a touch panel, information of voice, or the like, or the selection instruction message itself may include a term selected by the user.
In step S8, the user equipment 1 sends the selection instruction information to the network equipment 2.
In step S9, the network device 2 obtains selection instruction information indicating that the user selects the entry option sent by the user device 1.
In step S10, the network device 2 obtains the entry option selected by the user device according to the selection indication information. For example, if the number indicated by the numeric key of the keyboard is 3, and the entry option 3 to be currently displayed in the user equipment 1 is "peat", the "peat" is obtained as the entry option of this time; obtaining an input entry option 3 which is displayed in the user equipment 1 and clicked by a mouse, wherein the input entry option is 'peat', and the obtained 'peat' is the input entry option; similarly, if the clicked position of the touch screen is the input entry option 3 displayed in the user equipment 1 and the input entry option is "peat", the "peat" is obtained as the input entry option, and the like. Or the obtained selection indication information directly contains 'peat coal' as the entry option of the current input.
The above steps S1 to S10 may be repeated until the user inputs all information desired to be input. For example, after the user performs steps S1 to S10 to obtain an input term option of "peat over coal", the user repeats steps S1 to S10 to obtain an input term option of "what" is.
When the user enters the interaction phase, in which the user inputs all the content desired to be input, the user will give the user device 1 a confirmation message, and then:
in step S11, the user equipment 1 acquires the confirmation information input by the user for performing network interaction on the input content including the input term previously selected by the user. For example, in the IM instant chat tools such as MSN, QQ, and Baidu hi, when the user inputs all the information to be input, the user clicks the "send" button, or clicks "Enter", or speaks "send" confirmation information to the voice recognition system, and when the user inputs all the information to be input in the community, the user equipment 1 clicks the "post" confirmation button, and the like, the user equipment 1 acquires the confirmation information.
In step S12, the user equipment 1 sends the network equipment 2 the confirmation information, which may be only the confirmation information notifying the network equipment 2 that the user can input the item selected so far for interaction, or the confirmation information including the input content that the user wishes to interact.
In step S13, the network device 2 receives the confirmation information sent by the user device 1 for performing network interaction on the input content.
In step S14, the network device 2 executes corresponding operations according to the confirmation information. Specifically, the network device 2 determines the current environment of the user (for example, in an instant chat tool environment such as IM or in a community), and performs a corresponding operation according to the environment (for example, sending input content to a chat object or publishing in the community).
In a preferred embodiment, the user equipment 1 and the network equipment 2 further perform the following operations:
in step S15, the user equipment 1 transmits information of an object that desires to interact with to the network equipment 2. The object that is desired to be interacted with may be one object or a plurality of objects, and the object may be a machine (such as a widget) in addition to other users, and the information of the object that is desired to be interacted with is information that enables the network device 2 to identify the object that is desired to be interacted with. For example, in an MSN chat, if a user selects to send an instant message to a contact in the MSN, the user equipment 1 sends MSN identification information (such as an account number) of the contact to be interacted to the network equipment 2; if the request for sending the instant message is a request for sending the instant message to a plurality of contacts, the information of the plurality of contacts to be contacted is sent to the network device 2; if the object of the instant message request is a group, the identification information (e.g., group number) of the group is sent to the network device 2.
In step S16, the network device 2 receives the information of the object that the user device desires to interact with, which is sent by the user device.
In step S17, the network device 2 establishes instant messaging with the object with which the user device 1 wishes to interact. In step S18, the user equipment 1 establishes instant messaging with the object that wishes to interact through the network equipment 2. That is, the user establishes contact with the object that the user wishes to interact with through the network device 2, the user inputs the sequence through the user device 1, and the network device 2 obtains the input content of the user and transmits the input content to the instant messaging object that the user wishes to interact with according to the confirmation of the user.
It should be noted that the user may receive information transmitted from another user via the network device 2 as an object to be interacted with. The steps S15 to S18 are not in sequence with the steps S1 to S14. The user equipment 1 may first establish contact with the object desired to interact through the network equipment 2 and then transmit the content through steps S1 to S14. It is also possible to send the content to the network device 2 first and then to send information of the object that wants to interact to establish the connection.
In a preferred embodiment, the user equipment 1 and the network equipment 2 further perform the following operations:
in step S19, the user equipment 1 acquires the relevant information of the user. The related information may be identity information of the user (such as login information of an instant chat tool or a community), setting of an interactive tool, an operating environment of the user equipment, and the like.
In step S20, the network device 1 sends the relevant information of the user to the network device 2.
In step S21, the network device 2 receives the user-related information sent by the user device 1.
In step S22, the network device 2 publishes the input entry option selected by the user in the community according to the relevant information of the user. For example, when a user logs in a certain community, the user device 1 sends login information of the user to the network device 2, and when the user inputs content to be input in a friend dynamic input box of the community, and then confirms the sending, the network device 2 identifies the identity of the user according to the login information of the user, acquires friend information of the user, and releases the content input by the user in friend dynamic.
In a preferred embodiment, the network device 2 further performs the following steps:
in step S23, the network device 2 retrieves the input history of the user according to the relevant information of the user.
In step S24, the network device shares the input history with the object performing interaction.
Specifically, through the related information of the user, especially the identity information in the related information, the network device 2 can retrieve the history input record of the user under the identity, and share the history input record with the object in the interaction, so that the interaction object can better communicate. For example, if a user discusses a professional problem in a professional group, although a professional vocabulary is difficult to type, the user can type the professional vocabulary more conveniently by sharing the history input records among the users in the group.
In a preferred embodiment, the user does not make a selection from the set "C", but presses the A key of the keyboard, as is known to those skilled in the art, at which point the set of alternative entries will converge. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: as one of the alternative ways to each other: the ue 1 performs steps S1 and S2 again, and the network device 2 performs step S3 again to receive the new input sequence sent by the ue, so as to obtain an input sequence "a"; thereafter, step S4 integrates the new input sequence with the previously received input sequence to obtain an integrated result, and obtains a new input term option set generated by performing a matching query in the thesaurus based on the integrated result; specifically, the network device 2 integrates the previous input sequence "C" and the new input sequence "a" to obtain an integration result "CA", or a new input sequence "CA", and then, uses this as an entry to search for corresponding input entry options from the thesaurus again, and returns a set "CA" formed by these input entry options to the user device 1.
In a preferred embodiment, step S4 further includes the following steps:
in step S41, performing matching query in the thesaurus based on the input sequence to obtain a preliminary query result;
in step S42, the preliminary query result is processed according to the input history of the user to generate the input term option set.
Specifically, in the query result obtained based on the input sequence "CAOMEI", strawberry "is the first entry in the input entry option set, and then, through the input history of the user," peat "is the entry more commonly used by the user, the position of the entry is corrected to the first entry. Because the input history of the user is obtained according to the related information of the user, particularly the identity information of the user, the recorded input history of the user is different under different identities, so that the user can use different word banks for different identities. For example, if a user uses a professional word in a professional forum, the user inputs "caomeei" when he posts information in the professional forum, and "peat" is used as the first entry option according to his history. And when the user chats with other users in the instant communication tool, the user can input 'CAOMEI' and 'strawberry' as the first entry option, so that great convenience is brought to the user.
In a preferred embodiment, the network device 2 further performs the following steps:
in step S25, the network device 2 further updates the thesaurus according to the entry option selected by the user; therefore, the universal word stock can be used for learning, and when a large number of users use a word with high frequency in a short time, the word can be quickly recorded by the universal word stock. The network device 2 also updates the historical input record of the user according to the input entry option selected by the user; thus, the personal word stock of the user can learn the input habits of the user.
The foregoing description of specific embodiments of the present invention has been presented. It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and that various changes and modifications may be made by one skilled in the art within the scope of the appended claims.
