The marketing mode focuses on the transmitting of value, the interaction of content, the layout of system, accurately positioning, and the burning hot development of microblogging also makes It is especially pronounced to obtain its marketing effectiveness.The range that is related to of microblogging marketing include certification, effective bean vermicelli, topic, name win, open platform, Whole operation etc., certainly, microblogging marketing also have its disadvantage: effective number of fans deficiency, content of microblog update too fast etc.."

When user browses by terminal 400 and replys this microblogging, it is desirable to which the content of input is that " microblogging is marketed Current a kind of marketing mode of prevalence ", then can be in alternative input field 402 according to traditional input method when user inputs micro- In successively display " laugh at, wind, wonderful, weak ... " etc. and the composition everyday expressions of micro-word character, and next user thinks input " rich " word may not occur in alternative input field then, even if occurring, it is also possible to be come because frequency of use is not high Rearward position, needing user to click turnover key can just find, and be inconvenient.

And according to this programme, then can inquiring information relevant to the return operation for inputting micro-, to be that Zhang San delivers micro- Rich, it is " rich " and " type " that character associated with micro-word is then inquired in the microblogging, and then extracts " rich " from the microblogging " type " two characters are shown in alternative input field 402, to accurately provide the character conduct that will be inputted for user Alternative input item avoids user and is manually entered.

As shown in Figure 4 B, it can be combined with existing input method for " laugh at, wind, wonderful, weak ... " for inquiring etc. and micro-word The character of everyday expressions is formed, and " rich " and " type " two characters inquired from microblogging are shown in alternative input field together In 402, to provide bigger alternative space for user, and under normal circumstances, associated character " rich " and " type " with work as The relationship of the character micro-of preceding input is even closer, so " rich " and " type " two characters are shown in " laugh at, wind, wonderful, weak ... " Before equal characters, and its, by inquiring in the microblogging of Zhang San the frequency of occurrences of " rich " and " type " two characters it is found that " rich " The frequency of occurrences is greater than the frequency of occurrences of " type " word, it is possible to determine that " rich " word is it is more likely that user inputs next word of micro-word Symbol, so that " rich " word is shown in front of " type " word.

As shown in Figure 4 C, the number that associated characters are extracted from relevant information can be set in user, thus from Zhang San Microblogging in when extracting associated character, can continue to extract one or more characters after the character in alternative input field User is shown in 402, after display " rich " and " type " two individual characters, can according to number of characters from small to large according to The secondary character for being shown in the two characters and inquiring later, such as user setting extract associated word from associated information According with number is 4, then to be inquired from the microblogging of Zhang San using micro-as 4 continuation characters of starting point include: " microblogging, ", " micro- Type blog ", " microblogging marketing ", " fire of microblogging ", " content of microblog ", then can also show in the first page of alternative input field 402 " type is rich ", " Bo Ying ", " in rich " etc. three, " type blog ", " rich marketing ", " rich content " etc. can then be sequentially displayed in alternative defeated In the subsequent page of lairage 402, so as to provide phrase and/or short sentence alternately input item for user, only so as to user Multiple characters that will be inputted just are inputted by one click operation.
