Example 2

The embodiment of the invention provides an information searching method.

At present, in order to meet the search requirement of a user on information in a specific field, a plurality of search platforms for the specific field appear, the information in the specific field can be generally divided into several fixed types of information, and when the user wants to search the information in the specific field, the terminal can search the information by the method provided by the embodiment of the invention.

The specific field may be a video field, etc. The video search platform is a search platform aiming at the video field, the video information can be generally classified into types of movies, television shows, or art and the like, and the terminal can search the video information of the movies, the television shows or the art and the like by the method provided by the embodiment of the invention.

Referring to fig. 2-1, the method specifically includes:

step 201: acquiring a keyword input by a user, and determining the type of the keyword;

the terminal provides a search interface for a user, wherein the search interface comprises a keyword input box and a search button. The user can input a keyword in the keyword input box and submit a search request to the terminal by clicking a search button. The terminal stores a keyword library corresponding to each type, and for each type, the keyword library corresponding to the type comprises the keywords of the type. For example, the type of the word may be a name type or a place type, and the keyword library corresponding to the name type includes a large number of names, and the keyword library corresponding to the place type includes a large number of places.

Specifically, when a search request submitted by a user clicking a search button is received, a keyword input by the user is acquired from a keyword input box. And determining a keyword library in which the keyword is located according to the keyword. And determining the type corresponding to the determined keyword library as the type of the keyword.

For example, the embodiment of the present invention is described by taking a video search as an example. Such as the search interface shown in fig. 2-2, which includes a keyword entry box and a search button. When receiving a search request submitted by clicking a search button by the user A, the keyword Zhang III input by the user is acquired from the keyword input box. And determining that the keyword library in which the keyword Zhang III is positioned is a name word library according to the keyword Zhang III. According to the determined keyword library, namely the name word library, acquiring a corresponding type from the corresponding relation between the type of the word and the keyword library shown in the table 1 as the name type, and determining the name type as the type of the keyword Zhang III.

TABLE 1

Type of word	Keyword library
		Name type	Name word bank

……

Step 202: if the type of the keyword is a preset type, generating a corresponding search request message for each information type in a preset type set, wherein the search request message corresponding to each information type carries the keyword;

one or more word types can be preset, that is, one or more preset types exist, and the preset types can be a name type or a place name type and the like. The information included in the server may be divided into fixed information of several information types, which constitute a preset type set. For example, the video information in the video server may be classified into a movie category, a tv play category, an art category, and the like, and the movie category, the tv play category, the art category, and the like constitute a preset type set.

The method specifically includes the steps of comparing the determined type of the keyword with a preset type, if the type of the keyword is the same as a certain preset type, generating a corresponding search request message for each information type in a preset type set according to the keyword and each information type included in the preset type set, and for each information type, carrying the keyword and the information type in the search request message corresponding to the information type.

For example, assuming that the preset type is a name type, the types of video information included in the preset type set include a movie type, a tv series type, and a variety type. Comparing the type name type of the keyword 'zhang san' with a preset type name type, and comparing that the type of the keyword 'zhang san' is the same as the preset type, generating three search request messages respectively including a first search request message, a second search request message and a third search request message according to the type movies, the television plays and the synthesis of the three video information included in the keyword 'zhang san' and the preset type set, wherein the first search request message carries the keyword 'zhang san' and the movie type, the second search request message carries the keyword 'zhang san' and the television plays, and the third search request message carries the keyword 'zhang san' and the synthesis.

If the type of the keyword is different from the preset type, the keyword is directly sent to the server, and the server searches the information matched with the keyword according to the keyword.

Further, for the keyword input by the user, the type of the keyword may also be uncertain, and the corresponding search request message is generated for each information type in the preset type set directly according to the keyword input by the user and the information type included in the preset type set.

After the search request message corresponding to each information type is generated through the operations of the above steps 201 and 202, the generated search request message is transmitted to the server through the following operation of the step 203.

Step 203: sending a search request message corresponding to each information type to a server, so that the server respectively acquires information of each information type matched with the keyword according to the search request message corresponding to each information type;

the search platform comprises one or more servers for storing resources, and according to the difference of the number of the servers for sending the search request message, the step can be realized by a first mode and a second mode, specifically:

firstly, sending a search request message corresponding to each information type to a server included in a search platform, so that the server respectively acquires information of each information type matched with the keyword according to the search request message corresponding to each information type.

Preferably, the load information of each server is acquired from each server, respectively, according to the address of each server included in the search platform. And according to the load information of each server, determining a server with the minimum load from each server, and then sending the search request message corresponding to each information type to the server. Therefore, the search request message can be sent to the server with smaller load, and the server can search information quickly.

For example, the generated three search request messages are sent to a server included in the search platform, so that the server obtains movie video information matched with the keyword "zhang san", tv series video information matched with the keyword "zhang san", and art video information matched with the keyword "zhang san" respectively according to the three search request messages.

Secondly, determining a server corresponding to each search request message in the search request messages corresponding to each information type, and respectively sending each search request message to the server corresponding to each search request message, so that each server can acquire information matched with the keyword according to the received search request message.

The server corresponding to each search request message in the search request messages corresponding to each information type may be determined in the following manner, specifically:

and respectively acquiring the load information of each server from each server according to the address of each server included in the search platform. And selecting each server with the load smaller than a preset load threshold value from each server according to the load information of each server. Assuming that the first number is the number of the information types included in the preset type set, if the number of the selected servers is greater than the first number, obtaining the first number of servers with the minimum load from the selected servers, and enabling each search request message in the search request messages corresponding to each information type to respectively correspond to one server in the first number of servers. And if the number of the selected servers is equal to the first number, directly enabling each search request message in the search request messages corresponding to each information type to respectively correspond to one server in the first number of servers. If the number of the selected servers is smaller than the first number, respectively determining the server corresponding to each search request message in the search request messages corresponding to each information type according to the selected load information of each server, so that the number of the search request messages corresponding to the server with large load is small, and the number of the search request messages corresponding to the server with small load is large. Therefore, the search request message corresponding to each information type is separately developed and sent to the plurality of servers, and the plurality of servers synchronously process the search request message, so that the information searching speed can be increased, and the searching time can be saved.

For example, assume that servers 1, 2, 3, and 4 are included in the search platform. And respectively acquiring the load information of each server from each server according to the address of each server included in the search platform. And selecting each server with the load smaller than a preset load threshold value from each server according to the load information of each server, and enabling the three search request messages to respectively correspond to one server if the selected servers are servers 1, 2 and 3, namely enabling the first search request message to correspond to server 1, the second search request message to correspond to server 2 and the third search request message to correspond to server 3. And sending the first search request message to the server 1, so that the server 1 acquires the movie video information matched with the keyword Zhang III according to the first search request message. And sending the second search request message to the server 2, so that the server 2 acquires the video information of the television series matched with the keyword 'zhang san' according to the second search request message. And sending the third search request message to the server 3, so that the server 3 acquires the variety video information matched with the keyword Zhang III according to the third search request message.

For another example, assuming that the selected servers are servers 1, 2, 3, and 4, the 3 servers with the smallest load are 1, 2, and 3, and the three search request messages correspond to one server, respectively, from among the selected servers 1, 2, 3, and 4, that is, the first search request message may correspond to server 1, the second search request message may correspond to server 2, and the third search request message may correspond to server 3. The first search request message is transmitted to the server 1, the second search request message is transmitted to the server 2, and the third search request message is transmitted to the server 3.

As another example, assume that the selected servers are servers 1 and 2, and that the load of server 1 is greater than the load of server 2. The first search request message may be made to correspond to server 1 and the second search request message and the third search request message may each be made to correspond to server 2. The first search request message is transmitted to the server 1, and the second search request message and the third search request message are transmitted to the server 2.

Further, a control server may be arranged to which the terminal transmits a search request message corresponding to each information type. The control server determines a server corresponding to each search request message in the search request messages corresponding to each information type according to the load information of each server, and forwards each search request message to the server corresponding to each search request message.

After the search request message corresponding to each information type is sent to the server through the operation of step 203, the server searches for information of each information type matching the keyword according to the search request message corresponding to each information type, and then receives the information of each information type sent by the server through the operation of step 204.

Step 204: receiving information of each information type sent by a server;

if the terminal transmits all the search request messages corresponding to each information type to one server in step 203, the terminal receives the information of each information type transmitted by the one server. If the terminal separately transmits the search request message corresponding to each information type to different servers in step 203, the terminal receives information transmitted by different servers.

For example, it is assumed that the video information of movie 1, movie 2, and movie 3 of the movie class transmitted by the reception server 1, the video information of drama 1, drama 2, and drama 3 of the drama class transmitted by the reception server 2, and the video information of anarchy 1, anarchy 2, and anarchy 3 of the anarchy class transmitted by the reception server 3 are received.

Further, after the server acquires the information of each information type matched with the keyword, for each information type, the server may further acquire an information score of each information of the information type, and sort the information of the information type according to the information score of each information and in an order of ascending or descending the information score. And then sending the sorted information of each information type to a terminal, and receiving the sorted information of each information type by the terminal. For each other information type, the information of each other information type can be sorted according to the above manner.

The server may obtain the information score of each piece of information of the information type by the following operations, specifically:

and calculating the correlation degree between each piece of information of the information type and the keyword. And setting a weight value of each piece of information according to the information type and the position of the keyword in each piece of information of the information type. And calculating the information score of each piece of information according to the correlation degree between each piece of information and the keyword and the weight value of each piece of information.

Further, for each sorted information type, the server may further retain a preset number of information with the largest score in the information type. For each kind of sorted information of other information types, the preset number of pieces of information with the largest score in the information of each kind of information can be respectively reserved according to the above mode together with the information of the kind of information type. Then the server sends the information reserved in each information type to the terminal, and the terminal receives the information of each information type sent by the server.

After receiving the information transmitted from the server by the operation of step 204, the information is displayed by the operation of step 205 as follows.

Step 205: information of each information type is displayed.

Specifically, one information type is arbitrarily acquired from a preset type set as the first information type. An information score for each information of the first information type is obtained. And sorting the information of the first information type according to the information score of each information. And rendering the sorted information of the first information type into a display page. For each other information type except the first information type in each information type, the information of each other information type can be rendered into the display page together with the first information type according to the operation. And displaying the display page.

The information score of each piece of information of the first information type can be obtained in the following way, specifically:

a degree of correlation between each information of the first information type and the keyword is calculated. And setting a weight value of each piece of information according to the first information type and the position of the keyword in each piece of information of the first information type. And calculating the information score of each piece of information according to the correlation degree between each piece of information and the keyword and the weight value of each piece of information.

For information of different information types, the weight values of the keywords at different positions of the information are different. For example, for video information of the movie class, the weight value when the keyword of the name type is located in the "lead actor" or "director" field of the video information is higher than the weight value when the keyword is located in the "video vignette" or the like field. For the video information of the variety, the weight value of the keyword of the name type is higher when the keyword is located in the "title" field of the video information than when the keyword is located in the "director" field or the like.

Wherein, the information score of the information can be calculated by adding or multiplying the correlation between the information and the keyword and the weight value of the information.

For each other information type except the first information type in the preset type set, the information score of the information of each other information type can be obtained according to the above mode together with the first information type.

For example, movie 1, movie 2, and movie 3 are video information of the movie class. The correlation degrees between movie 1, movie 2, and movie 3 and the keyword "zhang san" are calculated, respectively, assuming that the calculated correlation degrees are 1, 0.8, and 0.5, respectively. Assume that the keyword "zhang san" is located in the "lead actor" field of movie 1, in the "director" field of movie 2, and in the "title" field of movie 3. The weight values of movie 1, movie 2, and movie 3 are set to 1, 0.8, and 0.5, respectively, according to the movie class and the position of the keyword "zhang san" in movie 1, movie 2, and movie 3. According to the correlations 1, 0.8, and 0.5 between the keyword "zhang san" and the movies 1, 2, and 3, and the weighted values of 1, 0.8, and 0.5 for the movies 1, 2, and 3, respectively, the information scores of 2, 1.6, and 1 for the movies 1, 2, and 3 are calculated, respectively. And sequencing the information of the movies, wherein the sequenced video information is movie 1, movie 2 and movie 3. The sorted movie-like video information movie 1, movie 2 and movie 3 are rendered into a presentation page as shown in fig. 2-3.

Similarly, the information scores of the series 1, the series 2 and the series 3 are respectively calculated to be 0.9, 3 and 2.5 according to the operation, the information of the series is sorted, and the sorted video information is the series 2, the series 3 and the series 1. The video information series 2, 3 and 1 of the sorted series are rendered into a presentation page as shown in fig. 2-3.

Similarly, the information scores of hederarchy 1, hederarchy 2 and hederarchy 3 were calculated to be 1, 0.7 and 2, respectively. And sequencing the information of the heddles, wherein the sequenced video information comprises the heddles 3, the heddles 1 and the heddles 2. And rendering the video information heddles 3, the heddles 1 and the heddles 2 of the sorted heddles into a display page as shown in figures 2-3. The presentation page as shown in fig. 2-3 is then displayed.

Further, the information of each information type may also be sorted by the server. And the terminal receives the sorted information of each information type sent by the server and then displays the information of each information type.
