Description

Method and equipment for generating network operation auxiliary information based on relational graph

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of networks, in particular to a technology for generating network operation auxiliary information based on a relation graph of an entity object through a computer.

Background

With the continuous development of network technology and computer technology, internet application and other network applications have become the main tools for people to live, work and study, such as information acquisition, online entertainment, online learning, online transaction, online shopping, etc. Meanwhile, people can also perform related network operations when using the applications, for example, after a user inputs a search request (query) in a search engine, the search engine can return a search result corresponding to the query to the user, and when the user mouse stays in a book in a webpage, introduction information of the book can be displayed. In order to facilitate the user to obtain more relevant information and improve the user experience of the user, the user also wants to provide auxiliary information, such as recommendation information, relationship information, etc., relevant to the network operation to the user after performing relevant network operation. How to generate the auxiliary information related to the network operation plays a very critical role.

The existing method usually adopts a statistical analysis or probability method to mine the relation keywords of the related entity words, and although the method can provide certain auxiliary information, the relevance of the recommendation information acquired by the user is not high, so that the information acquisition efficiency of the user and the user experience are reduced. The main reason is that the existing method usually does not generate network operation auxiliary information based on the relationship graph of the entity object, for example, for the entity object of "car", the relationship graph includes "toy car", "model car", "vehicle car", etc., while the method based on statistical analysis or probability may only obtain information of "car total mobilization", etc., but cannot obtain auxiliary information of "toy car", "model car", "vehicle car", etc., if the user is only interested in "model car", then the relevance of the information provided by the existing method to the user may not be high, and the user experience is not high. The existing method usually mines the relation key words of the related entity words, but some network operations cannot directly provide the entity words, for example, a user clicks the network operation of the book by a mouse, and the operation does not directly generate the entity words. Therefore, the existing method has a limited effect on such network operations that cannot directly provide the physical words, and the user usually also wants to provide related auxiliary information on such network operations that cannot directly provide the physical words. Obviously, the relevance of the auxiliary information acquired by the user is not high by using the existing method, and the existing method cannot well support certain network operations which cannot directly provide entity words, so that the information acquisition efficiency of the user and the user experience are reduced.

Therefore, in view of the above two aspects, it is one of the problems that those skilled in the art need to solve how to improve the correlation of the auxiliary information acquired by the user and provide the auxiliary information for various network operations of the user.

The first obtaining device 11 ', the second obtaining device 12', the generating device 14 'and the providing device 15' are respectively the same as or similar to corresponding devices shown in fig. 1, and therefore, the description is omitted here and included herein by way of reference.

Specifically, the third obtaining device 13' performs matching query in the object relation library according to the entity word to obtain the relation map corresponding to the first entity object. Here, the object relation library stores one or more relation maps corresponding to the first entity object; the object relation library is stored in the providing device 1, or in a third party device connected with the providing device 1 through a network, etc.; the object relational library can be established or updated by means such as presetting, user customization or downloading from the third-party devices.

For example, the third obtaining device 13' queries whether there is a relationship map corresponding to the real word "how much the real word" shows "in the object relation library, and when the relationship map corresponding to the real word" how much the real word "shows" is stored in the object relation library, such as "how much the real word" is bought "," how much the real word "shows" is bought ", and" how much the real word "is bought", or "how much the real word" is bought ".

Those skilled in the art will understand that the above-mentioned manner of performing a matching query in the object relational library according to the entity word "hartley upward mapping time" to obtain the relational map corresponding to the first entity object is merely an example, and other manners, which may occur now or in the future, of performing a matching query in the object relational library according to the entity word to obtain the relational map corresponding to the first entity object may be applicable to the present invention, and should be included in the scope of the present invention and included by reference.

If the number of times that the candidate entity object a and the candidate entity object B appear in the web page at the same time is greater than the preset threshold value x, the object a and the object B have a mapping relationship, the updating device 16 ' obtains the mapping relationship between the candidate entity object a and the candidate entity object B, if the mapping relationship between the candidate entity object a and the candidate entity object B is already stored in the object relationship library, the updating device 16 ' updates the mapping relationship between the candidate entity object a and the candidate entity object B, and if the mapping relationship between the candidate entity object a and the candidate entity object B is not stored in the object relationship library, the updating device 16 ' establishes the mapping relationship between the candidate entity object a and the candidate entity object B. Here, the same data source includes, but is not limited to: browsing pages, search logs, or structured data.

For example, the updating device 16' obtains the mapping relationship between the candidate entity objects according to the similarity between the candidate entity objects.
