Be appreciated that the embodiment of the present invention is not for the particular content of the first candidate characters and acquisition process thereofLimited.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in entity storehouse, hit the target entity entry of described the first candidate characters, toolBody can comprise: target entity entry comprises described the first candidate characters and described the first candidate charactersThe primary importance of the first corresponding character in above-mentioned current input string and described the first candidate characters are at orderThe second place in mark entity entry is consistent, can ensure thus the accurate filling of preset character string. CorrespondingGround, above-mentioned steps 202 specifically can comprise: search entity storehouse, obtain hitting described the first candidate charactersTarget entity entry; Described target entity entry can comprise described the first candidate characters and describedThe primary importance and described first of the first character corresponding to one candidate characters in described current input string waitedIt is consistent that word selection accords with the second place in described target entity entry. For example, in above-mentioned application example 1,Target entity entry " the Mi month passes " comprises that the first candidate characters " month pass " and the first candidate characters " month pass " are rightAnswer the first character " yue " and " zhuan " primary importance and first in current input string " smyuezhuan "Candidate characters " moon " is identical with " biography " second place in target entity entry " the Mi month passes ", wherein, onState primary importance and the second place and be all positioned at penultimate and position last.

And for example, in above-mentioned application example 2, target entity entries such as " steamed glutens braised in soy sauce " comprises the first candidateCharacter " braised in soy sauce roasting " and the first candidate characters " braised in soy sauce roasting " corresponding the first character " hongshaokao " are being worked asPrimary importance in front input string " hongshaokaosha " and the first candidate characters " braised in soy sauce roasting " are " redBarbecue bran " etc. the second place in target entity entry identical, the equal position of above-mentioned primary importance and the second placeIn first of positive number. Concrete, in current input string, described the first character " hongshaokao " positionIn first of positive number, be positioned at described preset character string " sha " before; Corresponding, at target entity wordIn bar " steamed gluten braised in soy sauce ", described the first candidate characters " braised in soy sauce roasting " is to be also positioned at first of positive number, andWhat be positioned at corresponding preset character string fills character " bran " before.

Be appreciated that in the time of definite primary importance and the second place, can using multiple syllables in the first character asAn entirety, this entirety can take an identical position, the first candidate corresponding to the plurality of syllableCharacter also can be used as an entirety and takies an identical position; Or, can be by the first characterEach syllable is as a unit independently, and each unit takies a position, and each syllable is correspondingThe first candidate characters also can be used as an independently unit take a position. The embodiment of the present invention pairConcrete deterministic process in primary importance and the second place is not limited.

In the optional embodiment of one of the present invention, the above-mentioned entity storehouse of searching, obtains hitting described first and waitsThe step of the target entity entry of word selection symbol, specifically can comprise:

Step S1, preset character string that described current input string is comprised be as vacancy character, withThe coupling string obtaining to described the first candidate characters and described vacancy character combination;

Step S2, according to character position, by the first candidate characters in described coupling string and described entity storehouseThe second character that middle entity entry is corresponding mates, and goes here and there corresponding target entity word to obtain described couplingBar; Described the second character is identical with described the first candidate characters and described the second character is real in described targetThe second place in pronouns, general term for nouns, numerals and measure words bar first character corresponding with described the first candidate characters is in described current inputPrimary importance in string is consistent.

This optional embodiment is according to the first candidate characters corresponding to the first character in current input string and pre-Put the corresponding vacancy character combination of character string and obtain coupling string, and according to character position to this coupling string and entityThe corresponding character string of entry is mated, and goes here and there corresponding target entity entry to obtain this coupling, thus canObtain comprising that corresponding the first character of the first candidate characters and the first candidate characters is in above-mentioned current input stringThe primary importance target entity consistent with the second place of the first candidate characters in target entity entryEntry.

In the optional embodiment of one of the embodiment of the present invention, the preset character string that single occurs can be correspondingOne or more vacancy character.

Wherein, when corresponding 1 the vacancy character of preset character string that occurs at single, no matter preset character stringComprise several characters, its corresponding vacancy character all can take a position in coupling string. For example,For above-mentioned application example 1 and above-mentioned application example 2, step S1 can be by preset character string " sm " and" sha ", as 1 vacancy character " ", can determine that the first candidate characters " moon " and " biography " are in coupling thusPrimary importance in string is respectively second and the 3rd.

In the time of the corresponding multiple vacancy character of preset character string of single appearance, its corresponding vacancy character is passableTake the multiple positions in coupling string. In a kind of application example 3 of the present invention, user C wish will be inputtedCertain verse " is uprooted midday standing grain day ", but only knows front two words " hoe standing grain " and a rear word " noon " of this verse, does not knowCentre two words " day works as " of this verse of road, therefore can input current input string by input method procedure" chuhesmwu ", step S1 can be using preset character string " sm " wherein as 2 vacancy characters" ", can determine the first candidate characters " hoe ", " standing grain " and " noon " primary importance in coupling string thusBe respectively first, second with the 5th.

In actual applications, sometimes may run into: cannot determine preset character string corresponding vacancy characterThe problem of number, in the entity entry hitting, the number of the corresponding vacancy character of this preset character string can beArbitrarily. For example, in a kind of application example of the present invention, user's wish will be inputted " steamed gluten braised in soy sauce ", canInput current input string " hongshaosha " by input method procedure, due to uncertain preset character string" sha " corresponding several vacancy characters, only need definite the first candidate characters " to braise in soy sauce " in coupling stringPrimary importance be the first, and preset character string " sha " can a corresponding character, now hits thisThe entity entry of coupling string can comprise " stewed fish with brown sauce ", " pork braised in brown sauce "; Preset character string " sha " also canWith corresponding two characters, the entity entry that now hits this coupling string can comprise " soy sauce chicken wings ", " redBarbecue bran "; Preset character string " sha " also can corresponding three characters, the reality of now hitting this coupling stringPronouns, general term for nouns, numerals and measure words bar can comprise " beef with brown sauce face " etc.

In the optional embodiment of another kind of the present invention, in order to improve the hit rate of the first candidate characters and to fill outFill the rich of result, the preset character string that the embodiment of the present invention can occur at single respectively can be correspondingUnder one, the situation of multiple vacancy characters, obtain corresponding multiple coupling strings, obtain multiple by couplingThe target entity entry that coupling string is corresponding.

In another optional embodiment of the present invention, in above-mentioned current input string, can also carry firstPointing character string, this first pointing character string can be used for indicating preset character string the number of corresponding vacancy characterOrder. For example, in above-mentioned application example 1, preset character string " sm " in current input string " sm#yuezhuan "" # " afterwards can be used for indicating corresponding 1 the vacancy character of preset character string " sm "; And for example, answer above-mentionedWith in example 3, in current input string " chuhesm&wu ", preset character string " sm " " & " is afterwards availableIn corresponding 2 the vacancy characters of the preset character string of instruction " sm ".

In another optional embodiment of the present invention, in above-mentioned current input string, can also carry the second fingerShow character string, this second pointing character string can be used for the corresponding vacancy of the uncertain preset character string of indicating userThe number of character. For example, in a kind of application example 4 of the present invention, user D wish will be inputted LaosSight spot name " Luang Prabang ", but only know rear two words " La Bang " of this sight spot name, do not know this sight spot name instituteThe total number of word accounting for, therefore can input current input string " sm*labang ", preset word by input method procedureSymbol string " sm " " * " afterwards can be used for the uncertain preset character string of indicating user the number of corresponding vacancy characterOrder. In such cases, can for preset character string the number of corresponding vacancy character repeatedly attempt,To obtain corresponding target entity entry.

It should be noted that, if user determine preset character string the number of corresponding vacancy character, canIn current input string, not carrying the second pointing character string, or, can also in current input string, carryThe 3rd pointing character string, the 3rd pointing character string can be used for indicating user and determines a preset character string correspondenceThe number of vacancy character, in such cases, can think that the preset character string that single occurs can correspondence oneIndividual vacancy character.

In addition, it should be noted that above-mentioned preset character string, the first pointing character string, the second directiveSymbol string and the corresponding character string of the 3rd pointing character string are just as application example of the present invention, realityUpper, those skilled in the art can adopt arbitrary string as above-mentioned preset word according to practical application requestSymbol string, the first pointing character string, the second pointing character string and the 3rd pointing character string, in addition, adoptingIn preset character string, the first pointing character string, the second pointing character string and the 3rd pointing character string two kinds withWhen upper, can distinguish etc. two or more character strings, the embodiment of the present invention is for above-mentioned preset wordSymbol string, the first pointing character string, the second pointing character string and the corresponding concrete word of the 3rd pointing character stringSymbol string is not limited.

And above-mentioned steps S1 is according to the first candidate characters and the corresponding vacancy character combination of preset character stringObtain the mode of coupling string just as optional embodiment, in fact, those skilled in the art can basisPractical application request adopts other modes to obtain coupling string, for example, and can also be according to preset character string correspondenceThe target location of each the first candidate characters determined in vacancy character, and above-mentioned target location is installed by eachOne candidate characters, second character corresponding to entity entry in entity storehouse mates etc.
