Description of drawings

In order to be illustrated more clearly in the embodiment of the invention or technical scheme of the prior art, to do to introduce simply to the accompanying drawing of required use among the embodiment below, apparently, accompanying drawing in describing below only is some embodiments of the present invention, for those of ordinary skills, under the prerequisite of not paying creative work, can also obtain other accompanying drawing according to these accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is the process flow diagram of the method that provides of the embodiment of the invention;

Fig. 2 is the synoptic diagram of the system that provides of the embodiment of the invention.

Embodiment

Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention is clearly and completely described, obviously, described embodiment only is the present invention's part embodiment, rather than whole embodiment.Based on the embodiment among the present invention, those of ordinary skills belong to the scope of protection of the invention not making the every other embodiment that is obtained under the creative work prerequisite.

Referring to Fig. 1, the method that the input method resource is provided that the embodiment of the invention provides may further comprise the steps:

S101: receive the input method resource sharing request that the user sends;

Wherein, the input method resource can comprise data class resource and functionality resources.Input habit settings such as the particular data (as translation, encyclopaedia result, Web side navigation data, the candidate list buffer memory that in passing input, obtains) that the data class resource can comprise various dictionaries (organizing employee/mailbox/special-purpose dictionaries such as term in dictionary, classified lexicon, cell dictionary, the tissue etc. as basic dictionary, group dictionary, user thesaurus, user), obtain from the isomery information server, input method skin, error correction mode; Functionality resources comprises the more new resources of input method redaction, feature card etc.

In embodiments of the present invention, can on user interface, provide the user to send the inlet of request by input method system, for example, can in the configuration menu of input method system, increase shared collaboration option is set, the user can open the user interface that input method provides by selecting this option, inlet on user interface sends the request of shared collaboration input method resource to input method system then.Wherein, concrete request content has multiple, and therefore, the inlet that provides on the user interface also may be a plurality of, and the user can select the inlet that oneself needs, sends concrete shared collaboration request to input method system.About content more concrete in this part, hereinafter have in further detail and introduce.

S102: according to described user's input method resource sharing request, the input method resource of determining the targeted customer and being used to share, and set up cooperation relation between each targeted customer;

S103: according to described cooperation relation, the input method resource that is provided for sharing to described targeted customer.

Wherein, share the input method resource that is used to share for the ease of fully utilizing each targeted customer, can merge sharing the input method resource that is used to share according to concrete cooperation relation, then, the input method resource that is used to share after described targeted customer provides merging.Certainly, also can not carry out the merging on the physical significance, between each targeted customer, set up the shared collaboration relation on the logical meaning.About this part content, hereinafter have and describe in detail.

Need to prove, why can there be personalized input method resource at each user, be because each user may have different input habits, for example, the lexical set that each user has own preference to use also has the input method skin style of own preference etc., perhaps, each user also can have lexical set of oneself using always or the like owing to the difference of occupation, identity etc.

Though be relatively independent individuality between each user, but in fact, the existence of this contact under certain specific scene, may have certain contact between the certain customers, owing to also can have some general character between this user's the personalized input method resource.For example, the user of identical occupation or identity may use similar specialized vocabulary, and the user with same interest hobby may like the input method skin of identical style, or the like.For example, for certain player of World of Warcraft, have recreation noun " Ai Ze Lars ", " Druid " etc. in its user thesaurus, these recreation nouns also may be used for other users that are all the player of World of Warcraft; And for example, for certain Movie Reviewers, have movie name " The Knot " etc. in its user thesaurus, for this user, the vocabulary in other Movie Reviewers' the user thesaurus also may be oneself need use; For another example, certain user's download new input method skin, the similar user of the style that other and this user likes also may like this input method skin, or the like.

Therefore,, then be equivalent between different user, set up cooperation relation, help accelerating each user's input speed if the user can use the input method resource that has certain user who gets in touch with it in the process of using the input method service; Simultaneously, also can improve the utilization factor of input method resource.The embodiment of the invention is exactly on the basis of above-mentioned analysis, proposition the input method service method is provided.

In embodiments of the present invention, be equivalent to have shared input method resource between the user of cooperation relation, for example, if described cooperation relation is two-way shared collaboration relation, then have among the user of this cooperation relation, each user's input method resource can be used by other users, simultaneously, this user also can use other users' input method resource, thereby has improved the participation of input method resource in generating processes such as candidate item, group speech, has also promptly improved the utilization factor of input method resource.

Share the input method resource between the user with cooperation relation in order to be implemented in, the cooperation relation of how setting up between the user is the comparison key.In the embodiment of the invention, give the user with the initiative of setting up cooperation relation, the user can select which user to set up cooperation relation with according to the needs of oneself, shares which input method resource or the like.Because the cooperation relation between the user is to set up according to user's needs, therefore, makes the user to send request according to actual needs, be convenient to improve the validity of the cooperation relation of foundation, avoid the user being caused interference owing to reasons such as erroneous judgements.

As mentioned before, in embodiments of the present invention, can provide the multiple inlet that is used to the request that sends to the user, the user can select inlet to send the resource sharing request according to the needs of oneself.Respectively this is at length introduced below.

Embodiment one

In this embodiment one, if the user need share certain input method resource between known user, be equivalent to for sending requesting users, the targeted customer is known, the input method resource of sharing between these users also is known.At this moment, the user just can carry the user profile of appointment in the input method resource sharing request that sends, and needs shared input method resource information.

Wherein, when designated user, multiple mode can be arranged, for example, can specify by name, promptly directly in request, carry user's title; Also can wait and specify required user by organizational structure, region, user's configuration.

During specific implementation, if the user selects to send request from this inlet to input method system, then input method system can provide corresponding input frame, and can be in modes such as comboboxs, the prompting user selects which kind of mode to come designated user in, and shares which kind of or which input method resource.For example, the user can list the various specific modes that can select in combobox when specifying required user, if the user has selected to specify by name, then can activate corresponding input frame, and the title of being imported the user by the user in input frame gets final product.The user then can list the existing alternative input method resource of this user in combobox when specifying the input method resource that need share, the input method resource that the user therefrom selects to need to share gets final product.

Need to prove, the embodiment of the invention is to realize on the basis that the user has carried out registering, because each user is when registration, information such as its title, organizational structure, region can be provided by the user, therefore, after the user has selected to specify required user by certain mode, can in log-on message, search corresponding user.For example, when the user has specified certain organizational structure, then can in log-on message, search qualified all users of organizational structure, then these users be got final product as required user.

Like this, be the equal of that the user initiates to have set up the input method user group, intragroup each user can realize sharing specific input method resource.For example, if between the employee of certain company, share specialized dictionary, then the specialized dictionary of each employee in the said firm can be merged together, use input method to carry out words when input, can utilize the specialized dictionary after the merging to provide candidate item to each employee each employee.Like this, for each employee, be equivalent on original basis, increase the capacity of specialized dictionary, and the part that increases can have very high utilization factor for the employee, simultaneously, because only be that dictionary at this appointment merges, the dictionary capacity after therefore merging can be not excessive yet, to such an extent as to the normal input of interference user.

As fully visible, in this embodiment one, the user is when sending the resource sharing request, need resources shared, and need to share between which user all be known, and in this case, the input method service method that this embodiment one is provided can may further comprise the steps:

Step 1: receive the request of user in the input method resource of the shared among users appointment of appointment;

Step 2: according to described input method resource sharing request, the user of described appointment is defined as the targeted customer, the input method resource of the described appointment that each targeted customer had is defined as needing shared input method resource, and between described targeted customer, sets up two-way cooperation relation;

Step 3: when certain targeted customer imported, the input method resource comprehensive that all targeted customers are used to share provided the input method service to this targeted customer together.

As mentioned before, for the ease of input method resource comprehensive that all targeted customers are used to share together, provide the input method service, can at first the input method resource that is used to share be merged to this targeted customer.In this embodiment one, owing to be between each targeted customer, to set up two-way shared relation, therefore, each targeted customer's specific input method resource all can be merged together, then, use the input method resource after merging, candidate item is provided or organizes speech to each targeted customer.

Wherein, the user can be when temporary needs is arranged, by the resource sharing between said method realization user, for example, user A, B, C play certain online game just together, then can between these three users, share cell dictionary temporarily, after finishing this recreation, can also select to destroy the cooperation relation between the three about this recreation.If each targeted customer has more stable cooperation relation, then can set up long-term cooperation relation, at this moment, just the input method resource that need will be used to share is kept at input method server or each targeted customer's client terminal local, so that when importing again later on, the input method resource after these users still can utilize these to merge.

Certainly, because the input method resource of sharing is provided by each targeted customer, therefore, when the input method resource that is used to share as certain targeted customer takes place to upgrade, then the input method resource that is used to share in this cooperation relation also can be upgraded thereupon, be equivalent to form a kind of iterative relation,, can continue to optimize the input method resource that is used to share by this iterative relation.

Below by several concrete examples, introduce the application of the method for this embodiment one.

Example 1, suppose that user A lectures phonetic/Chinese relevant knowledge for user B, C, the D of non-Chinese native.Teaching for convenience, user A allows user B, C, D use the input method based on the embodiment of the invention, concrete, user A can send request to input method system, user B, C, D as the targeted customer, are set resources such as the basic dictionary of shared among users, user thesaurus, input error correction mode and classified lexicon.User B, C, carry out the exercise of phonetic, Chinese character input when D is flat by input method.User A has put some in order and has been suitable for the input error correction mode of user B, C, D by the observation to user B, C, D input, has also chosen some classified lexicons.Because these input method data of user A and user B, C, D are shared, therefore, user B, C, D also can use these error correction modes and classified lexicon, finish the input of words.

Example 2, suppose that certain organization internal need do client investigation, distribute the employee to investigate separately, qualified customer name and the contact method thereof that obtains separately gathered, each client is discussed afterwards together, make evaluation.Employee A, B, C has got in touch a part of client separately, can set up customer information dictionary then separately about the finding of oneself, each entry wherein can comprise customer name, customer name is to (these data can be finished in the subsidiary small tool of input method) such as mapping relations of network address/mailbox, by this customer information dictionary, when the user imports certain client's title, input method can demonstrate the relevant information that has mapping relations with this title, it is network address/mailbox etc., the button of directly pressing appointment just can be with screen demonstration on this relevant information, as shown in Figure 2.

Because when gathering, each employee's finding all needs to be entered in certain file, for the ease of finishing this typing process, just can set up sharing of customer information dictionary between employee A, B, the C, like this, each employee's customer information dictionary will be merged together, each employee can use the dictionary after the merging to import.That is to say, when the work of getting in touch separately as each user is finished, customer name entry in the customer information system is gathered, can obtain the customer information dictionary, this customer evaluation work for next step has brought facility, promptly each member in the group can be shared the customer information dictionary, like this, each member can export the customer name that other members relate to easily, and can import client's mailbox, website information easily by customer name, thereby has promoted complete group input efficiency.

Example 3, suppose that user A and user B have set up sharing edition upgrading resource C.After the A start in certain day, the input method software on the machine obtains the notice that new edition is upgraded from server, and update software is to latest edition.At this moment, shared resource version information that can user A is all upgrades, at this moment, and with the also renewal thereupon of shared resource C of user B.And after user B start networking, following several situation can be arranged: (1) is if user A discovery user B is online and resource C version user B is lower than user A, then can upgrade by proactive notification B, at this moment, user B can obtain up-to-date version information by synchronous shared resource C, and need not be from the input method downloaded.(2) discovery the other side version changes to some extent during the synchronous shared resource C of user B when start and user A, user B can select preferentially to obtain the edition upgrading resource from user A, if (user A is not online as yet from user A failed download, or downloading process is made mistakes, retry has no resolution), then transfer to obtain the edition upgrading resource to the input method server.

The edition upgrading resource is shared between this targeted customer, directly particularly favourable from the user of server acquisition upgrading for those.All be in education network such as user A and user B, and edition upgrading resource C is at public network.Obtain the renewal of edition upgrading resource C as user A after, can be used as the data source that user B carries out edition upgrading fully, promptly user B can directly obtain the more new data of edition upgrading resource C from user A, and need not download from public network.Therefore the education network because user A and user B coexist, and is compared from the public network data download, can be faster in the data rate of education network inside, and user B can obtain the more new data of edition upgrading resource C more apace by user A.

Embodiment two

In actual applications, may have following situation: certain user thinks that certain the input method resource of oneself is relatively good, also may be useful to other users, then want it is openly used for other users, but this user does not have the specific aim user.That is to say that the user just hopes and announce a kind of input method resource that can share, but intended target user not.

The embodiment of the invention also can provide such request inlet, when the user sends request by this inlet, input method system can point out the user to specify needs shared input method resource, and after the user specified, input method system just can be announced this input method resource in particular range.

During specific implementation, the user is the request that sends on the client of input method system, and input method client can send to request the input method server then, by the input method server input method resource that this user can share is announced in the whole network.Certainly, the input method server may receive the request of the open input method resource of a plurality of users' transmissions, at this moment, the input method server can be set up input method resource thesaurus, when whenever receiving the request of the open input method resource that the user sends, a record can increased in input method resource thesaurus.Each user can visit this input method resource thesaurus, and input method resource thesaurus can represent the input method resource that can be used to share.Need to prove, can only preserve descriptive information in the input method resource thesaurus, promptly being equivalent to only is a catalogue, and the user can know according to this catalogue has to share for which input method resource, but the real data of input method resource not necessarily is kept in this input method server.

Other users can be by visit input method resource thesaurus, and which input method resource knows has can be used to share, and can therefrom select then oneself needs, and adds to share.That is to say, in the user interface that input method system provides, can also comprise a kind of inlet, by this inlet, the user can check the input method resource that can be used to share on the current network, the user selects after certain input method resource, being equivalent to this user becomes the targeted customer of this input method resource, therefore, can between this targeted customer and this input method Resource Owner, set up cooperation relation, this input method resource and the disclosed input method resource of this user with this targeted customer merges then, like this, this targeted customer just can use the disclosed input method resource of this user.Equally, other user also can add shared by same mode, becomes the targeted customer that this is shared, and therefore, for one was shared, its targeted customer's number can be ever-increasing.

In the foregoing description,, when user B adds this input method resource C shared in request, also the original input resource of user B C can be shared out, make the two-way cooperation relation of formation between user A and the user B if user A discloses input method resource C.

In actual applications, under the situation of this embodiment two, have following special circumstances: request user B is before request adds sharing of this input method resource C, can not have this input method resource C, at this moment, be equivalent to user B and just need the disclosed input method resource of user A, can take out with user A shared but user B self does not have corresponding input method resource.In this case, be equivalent to when carrying out the merging of input method resource, just the input method resource with user A has offered user B.

Above-mentioned this situation has reasonable application in actual applications: for example, certain user is when installing input method first, if be left intact, the operable input method resource of this user general resource of having only input method system to provide then to all users, as basic dictionary etc., if but only use this resource, the efficient of input may be lower.At this moment, this user just can check the input method resource that other users share out by the inlet that input method system provides, and then, can select the input method resource that oneself needs, initiate to add the request that this is shared to input method system, make this input method resource of sharing for own used.

As fully visible, in the method for this embodiment two, concrete can may further comprise the steps:

Step 1: receive the user and initiate to share the request of specifying the input method resource;

Step 2: other users in network issue the input method resource information that described appointment is shared, and receive other users and add the request that this is shared;

Step 3: user and this user who shares of request adding of described initiation sharing request are defined as the targeted customer, the input method resource that described appointment that each targeted customer had is shared needing to be defined as the input method resource shared, and sets up the two-way cooperation relation between the described definite targeted customer;

Step 4: when certain targeted customer imported, the input method resource comprehensive that all targeted customers are used to share provided the input method service to this targeted customer together.

In above description, certain user is after having announced the input method resource of oneself, and other all users can add sharing of this input method resource.In actual applications, the influence that causes for the number that prevents sharing users is excessive, the user is when disclosing certain input method resource of oneself, can set sharing users constraint condition, for example, maximum number that can the target setting user, then receive when the user adds shared request at every turn, can at first judge this shared current target total number of users, if the current goal total number of users is less than described maximum number, then can allow this user to add this and share, otherwise, this user's request can be refused.

Can find by description embodiment two, in embodiment one, though when initiating sharing request, specified the targeted customer,, it is shared in fact also can to allow other users to add.That is to say that also the cooperation relation that the user can be set up is announced to other users in network, other users also can add this and share if desired.Certainly, at this moment, also can set sharing users constraint condition, for example, organizational structure that can limited subscriber, region, shared expansion depth etc.When receiving certain user's adding sharing request, can judge at first whether this user satisfies predefined sharing users constraint condition, if satisfy, then this user can be added this and share, otherwise, can refuse this user's adding sharing request.Wherein, the expansion depth of sharing is meant the transitive relation between the targeted customer, for example, constraint condition can be set at: do not allow to remove initial target and add with outdoor new user, the targeted customer of appointment, no longer allow other users to add this and share during then except the initiation request; Constraint condition can also be set at: only allow the user who has set up cooperation relation with the initial target user just can add, that is to say, if the initial target user is regarded as the good friend B of the user A that creates cooperation relation, then having only the good friend C of these good friend B can add this shares, if certain user and this user's good friend B is without any relation, or the good friend of its good friend C, then this user will not be allowed to add and should share.

In above-mentioned embodiment one and embodiment two, after setting up cooperation relation, when the input method service is provided for each targeted customer, all need to use all targeted customers' shared data.In this case, for the ease of realizing, concrete module can be divided into computing module and memory module.Wherein, computing module does not need to know the input method resource that is used to share specifically is where to leave in, as long as it initiate request of access to memory module; And memory module need know the input method resource that is used to share specifically is where to exist, so that obtain actual data.During specific implementation, each targeted customer's shared data may be incorporated in together, also can only set up cooperation relation in logic, but physically still deposits separately.Certainly, because before setting up cooperation relation, the specific input method resource that is used to share that each targeted customer has may leave server in, also may be kept at subscriber's local, therefore, concrete situation has a variety of, at length introduces below by concentrated typical situation.Need to prove, for convenience of description,, simply be described as " each targeted customer's shared data " hereinafter with " the specific input method resource that is used to share that each targeted customer has ".

(1) if before constituting cooperation relation, each targeted customer's shared data is all on server, then directly on server, open up a blocks of data space for all targeted customers, this space can also be divided into some fragments, is respectively applied for basic dictionary, classified lexicon, website data, the skin information or the like of loading.That is, server can directly obtain each targeted customer's shared data, is kept at above-mentioned data space after the merging and gets final product.If use configuration also shared; be equivalent to all targeted customers can have influence on other targeted customers in real time to any alter operation of these data use result; certainly can not allow different user simultaneously same data to be carried out write operation; can use protection lock mechanism to control; about protection lock mechanism; because of being known technology, therefore repeat no more here.

(2) each targeted customer is before constituting cooperation relation, and each comfortable local data space is deposited the input method resource.After forming cooperation relation, the shared data in the input method resource separately is merged together.Data after the merging can extract from each user's storage space and be stored on the server, make things convenient for the targeted customer to visit, operate.

(3) each targeted customer is before constituting cooperation relation, each comfortable local data space is deposited the input method resource, form after the cooperation relation, each targeted customer's shared data can be merged together, and on each targeted customer's machine, preserve a local version.Like this, each targeted customer can use the shared data after the local merging of preserving to calculate when importing.When this input method resource of certain targeted customer need be upgraded, can at first compare with the local version of preserving, if desired, upgrade again.

As seen, first three kind mode all is at first each targeted customer's shared data to be merged, and the shared data after the described merging is defined as the input method resource that is used to share, utilizes the described input method resource that is used to share, and provides the input method service to each targeted customer.

(4) each targeted customer is before constituting cooperation relation, and each comfortable local data space is deposited the input method resource.Different with preceding several modes is that after forming cooperation relation, shared data is not to merge to be put into server or subscriber's local afterwards, but continues to be retained in each targeted customer this locality, just sets up cooperation relation in logic between each user.That is to say, each targeted customer's input method resource is not merged together veritably, just input method system is when providing the input method service for certain targeted customer, can be by this user of visit and other each targeted customers' input method resource, come to generate candidate item, as long as each targeted customer's input method resource can be accessed for this targeted customer.Certainly, in this manner, under the situation of certain user's off line, the shared data that this user provides will be difficult to be used by other users.

Certainly, if each targeted customer's shared data does not merge, then described computing module can be placed on the input method server, owing to can both carry out mutual between input method server and each targeted customer, therefore, when needing to calculate at every turn, can initiate request to each targeted customer by the server unification, the shared data that each targeted customer returns oneself gets final product.

Perhaps, also computing module can be placed on each targeted customer's client terminal local, certainly, need establish a communications link between each targeted customer this moment, and the communication protocol that can make an appointment and use, certainly, each targeted customer need note other targeted customers' that have cooperation relation with it information such as IP address.When certain targeted customer need import, can obtain shared data by communicating to connect to other each targeted customers.

Certainly, preserving type is not limited to above-mentioned several, for example, if before forming cooperation relation, each targeted customer's specific input method resource is all on server, then also can leave the input method resource after merging in same data cell, but leave the data cell that was used to deposit each targeted customer's input method resource originally respectively in, or the like.Concrete which kind of location mode of using can be selected by the user equally.

At the aforementioned situation that need merge, introduce the shared data that specifically how to merge the targeted customer below to each targeted customer's shared data.

In actual applications, have the branch of input method in network and local input method usually, for input method in network, each user's input method resource is kept on the input method server all; For local input method, the input method resource is generally held in this locality, and it may be to be kept on the server that part input method resource is also arranged certainly.In embodiments of the present invention, need not distinguish input method in network or local input method, only need know that the input method resource that needs to share is to get final product at server or in this locality.

Wherein, as mentioned before, if the specific input method resource of each targeted customer under the same cooperation relation is all on server, then server directly takes out each targeted customer's specific input method resource, is kept at the data space that the user for this cooperation relation opens up after each targeted customer's input method resource merges then.Therefore, what each targeted customer read and write is same data space, can in time come into force, so a user's write operation does not need to notify other users.

Before each targeted customer is constituting cooperation relation, each comfortable local data space is deposited under the situation of input method resource, deposit data after will merging if desired is to the input method server, and then each targeted customer will shared data separately sends to the input method server and gets final product.Shared data after will merging if desired is kept at this locality separately, then can have following dual mode to finish at least:

(1) point-to-point mode, directly link up between each targeted customer: set up communicating to connect between each targeted customer by IP or LAN (Local Area Network), communicate to connect by this, can transmit data mutually between each targeted customer, for example, user A and user B have set up the cooperation relation for input method resource C, then can between user A and user B, establish a communications link, user A can pass to user B by this input method resource C that communicates to connect oneself, simultaneously, user B also can pass to user A by this input method resource C that communicates to connect oneself.Like this, just can realize all targeted customers' shared data is combined, and preserve in this locality of each targeted customer respectively.

In this manner, the input method resource part of each targeted customer's self-responsibility is carried out write operation, and simultaneously, each targeted customer must be in the local maintenance list of targeted subscribers, and regular then or each targeted customer's machine of real-time informing upgrades corresponding data.

(2) centralized, by transit server: promptly can assist the merging of finishing shared data by server.For example, each targeted customer can transfer to specific input method resource separately respectively intermediate server (can be input method server or other servers), after the shared data merging of this intermediate server with each targeted customer, return to each targeted customer more respectively, perhaps be kept in the server.Certainly,, partly carry out write operation, then regularly or the real-time informing server by the shared data of each targeted customer's self-responsibility if each targeted customer's shared data is constantly to change.Server reference object user list, regular or real-time shared data after other targeted customers send renewal.Therefore, in this manner, which user can not need to know concerning each targeted customer has share the input method resource with oneself.

Embodiment three

In actual applications, also may have following situation: certain user thinks that certain the input method resource of oneself may be more useful to certain or certain user, so wanting to provide it to this or these user uses, that is to say, this user knows oneself to want to disclose which kind of input method resource, know also whom the targeted customer is, but this user may not need the targeted customer also its resource sharing to be come out.

At this moment, the embodiment of the invention also can provide such request inlet, and the user passes through this inlet and sends when asking, and input method system can point out the user to specify needs shared input method resource, and the intended target user.During specific implementation, similar with embodiment one, difference is, at this request, input method system can be set up and send this requesting users to the unidirectional cooperation relation between the targeted customer of described appointment, merge the input method resource that is used to share if desired, then only need disclosed input method resource with the user, merge in specified targeted customer's the input method resource, targeted customer's input method resource needn't offer this user, can not have cooperation relation between each targeted customer, promptly input method resource separately can not merge yet yet.

Step 1: receive the request that the user offers the input method resource of appointment designated user;

Step 2: described designated user is defined as the targeted customer, the input method resource of described appointment is defined as the input method resource that is used to share, and set up and send this requesting users to the unidirectional cooperation relation between the described targeted customer;

Step 3: utilize the described input method resource that is used to share, provide the input method service to each targeted customer.

So this embodiment three suitable a kind of users recommend pattern,, some input method resources are effectively utilized by more user by user's recommendation.For example, user B may not know that input method has fuzzy sound error correction, therefore, never opens this function; But this user B influences the speed of words input owing to problems such as cacoepies owing to the phonetic input error through regular meeting.Simultaneously, the friend user A of user B is known the fuzzy sound error correction of input method by certain approach, uses after sensation relatively to be fit to user B, so user A just can recommend this function to user B.Certainly, in embodiments of the present invention, user A does not need to notify user B manually to open this function, but send the request that this function is used at user B to the input method server, like this, the input method server just can be opened above-mentioned fuzzy sound error correction to user B, makes in the input calculating process of user B, add the computing process of this fuzzy sound error correction, accelerated user's words input speed.

Above-mentioned each embodiment has been introduced the present invention's corresponding implementation method in various concrete application, in actual applications, may not need all to use in all cases shared input method resource sometimes.For example, set up the cooperation relation of proprietary term dictionary between the member of certain company, still, during the editing document, just needed to use above-mentioned cooperation relation during these users only are on duty; When the user carries out and works other inputs that have nothing to do (for example), use this cooperation relation may cause interference to user's normal input on the contrary by instant communication software and friend's chat etc.

Based on above-mentioned consideration, can allow the user that shared constraint condition is set, be used for the use of cooperation relation is limited.For example, can provide a application list, be used for showing when only in these application programs, importing, just use this cooperation relation, otherwise, this cooperation relation ignored.As, just use in the time of can specifying in the internal office work system input, and do not use this cooperation relation when in instant software, browser etc., importing.

As fully visible, when realizing the embodiment of the invention, can produce a lot of information, for the ease of safeguarding the information that produces in the shared procedure, the embodiment of the invention can adopt the form of user's registration table to realize.Wherein, the form of recorded information can be a tlv triple in user's registration table, comprise list of targeted subscribers, shared input method resource, shared constraint condition, certainly, as can be known described by preamble, it is dispensable to share constraint condition, and the situation of Jie Shaoing only is a kind of implementation of the embodiment of the invention here.Referring to table 1, wherein listed the record format of user's registration table.

Table 1

For example, for above-mentioned embodiment one, the user can increase a record in user's registration table after initiating request, and the content that the user is selected on user interface is written in each field of this record respectively.Concrete, the input method resource of this user's appointment is written to " the input method resource of sharing " field, user with this user and this user's appointment, be written to " list of targeted subscribers " field, if this user has specified shared constraint condition, then can also write corresponding " sharing constraint condition " field.

For above-mentioned embodiment two, the user is after the request of the input method resource of initiating open appointment, also can increase a record in user's registration table, just under original state, " list of targeted subscribers " field in this record may have only this user oneself; When other users send this request of sharing of adding, these users are added in " list of targeted subscribers " field of this record, generate list of targeted subscribers.If this user is provided with shared constraint condition, then when receiving this request of sharing of adding that other users send, can obtain shared constraint condition by this record in the inquiring user registration table, and judge whether the user satisfies should shared constraint condition.

For above-mentioned embodiment three, the user is initiating after input method resource with appointment offers the request of designated user, also can in user's registration table, increase a record, certainly, in order to distinguish mutually with embodiment one, can on this record, add sign, need carry out unidirectional resource sharing only to show; Perhaps also can increase " cooperation relation type " field in record, it is unidirectional indicating this cooperation relation type, and indicates and initiate requesting users and get final product.

Need to prove that each involved example of the embodiment of the invention is all only quoted as an example, during specific implementation, can replace accordingly or adjust at actual conditions.For example, the specialized dictionary that relates in each example also can be the cell dictionary in actual applications, and specialized dictionary only is used to illustrate, and should not regard limitation of the present invention as.As, when a plurality of employees have the demand of using certain cell dictionary, this cell dictionary of these employees can merging, each employee can obtain the candidate item that provides according to the cell dictionary after this merging when carrying out the words input then.
