Referring to fig. 1, the method of identifying a search engine in a browser page may include the following steps.

In step 101, a designated location area in a browser page is determined.

In step 102, feature information of the designated location area is obtained, and the feature information includes text or images in the designated location area.

In step 103, a search engine in the browser page is identified according to the feature information.

To sum up, the method for identifying a search engine in a browser page provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure determines a designated location area in the browser page; acquiring feature information of the specified position area, wherein the feature information comprises a text or an image in the specified position area; and identifying the search engine in the browser page according to the characteristic information, wherein the identification of the search engine in the browser page can be realized only by determining a certain specific position area in the browser page without completely analyzing the source code of the page, so that the time for identifying the search engine is shortened, and the effect of improving the identification efficiency is achieved.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for identifying a search engine in a browser page according to another exemplary embodiment, which may be applied to an electronic device installed with at least one browser, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a personal computer, or the like. Referring to fig. 2, the method of identifying a search engine in a browser page may include the following steps.

In step 201, an identifier of a browser corresponding to a browser page is obtained.

This step may be performed by an operating system in the electronic device or by a third party application in the electronic device. When the step is executed by an operating system in the electronic device, the operating system may be an operating system used in a mobile terminal such as Android, iOS, Windows Phone (WP), Symbian, BlackBerry OS, or the like, or an operating system used in a personal computer such as Windows, MacOS, UNIX, or Linux. When this step is performed by a third-party application in the electronic device, the third-party application may be a program installed in the electronic device and having an identification function of recognizing a browser corresponding to the browser page, such as a third-party application such as an input method, a music player, or a social application.

the identification of the browser may be a character or a character string capable of uniquely identifying a browser, and the identification of the browser may be a name, a number, a software version number, or the like of the browser. When a user opens a browser in the electronic device, an operating system or a third-party application in the electronic device may obtain an identifier of the browser currently opened by the user.

In step 202, the identification of the address bar in the browser is queried according to the identification of the browser.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device may store in advance a correspondence between the identifier of each browser and the identifier of the address bar in the browser. After the identifier of the browser is obtained, the electronic device may query the identifier of the address bar in the browser according to the pre-stored correspondence through the identifier of the browser.

Or, the electronic device may also send the acquired identifier of the browser to the server, and the server queries the identifier of the address bar in the browser according to the identifier of the browser.

for example, five browsers are installed in the electronic device of one user, the identifiers of the browsers corresponding to the five browsers are A, B, C, D and E, respectively, and the correspondence between the identifier of each browser and the identifier of the address bar in the browser is shown in table 1.

Identification of browser	identification A	Identification B	Identification C	Identification D	identification E
						identification of address bar	identification a	Identification b	identification c	Identification d	Identification e

TABLE 1

For example, a user opens a browser installed in the electronic device, the electronic device obtains that the identifier of the browser is an identifier a, and the identifier (identifier a) of the address bar in the browser can be found according to the identifier (identifier a) of the browser and the table 1.

In step 203, according to the identifier of the address bar in the browser, the location area where the address bar is located is determined to be the designated location area.

according to the identifier of the address bar in the browser, the electronic device can determine that the location area where the address bar is located is the designated location area. For example, the electronic device acquires the identifier of the address bar in the current browser, that is, the location coordinate of the address bar can be acquired through the identifier of the address bar.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, after acquiring the identifier of the address bar in the current browser, the electronic device may determine, according to the identifier of the address bar, a location area of the address bar in the browser page, and determine the location area of the address bar in the browser page as the specified location area.

In a possible implementation manner, when determining a location area where the address bar is located in the browser page as the designated location area, a certain specific location coordinate of the address bar in the browser page, such as a coordinate of a center of the address bar in the browser page, may be first determined, and a preset area around the specific location coordinate may be determined as the designated location area, where the preset area around the specific location coordinate may be related to a type of the browser, and sizes of the address bar in pages of different types of browsers are usually different, so that an identifier of the browser and the preset area around the specific location coordinate may be stored in the electronic device in advance, and the preset area around the specific location coordinate may be determined according to an identifier query of the browser.

alternatively, when the position area where the address bar is located in the browser page is determined as the designated position area, a plurality of specific position coordinates of the address bar in the browser page, for example, coordinates of four corners (upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right) of the address bar in the browser page may be determined, and an area surrounded by the plurality of specific position coordinates may be determined as the designated position area.

for example, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a location area determination corresponding to the embodiment shown in fig. 2, in fig. 3, a location 31 is a location of a center of an address bar in a browser page, and when the electronic device displays the browser page, a preset area 32 around the location 31 may be determined as a location area according to coordinates of the location 31.

Or, referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is another schematic diagram illustrating the determination of the designated location area according to the corresponding embodiment of fig. 2, in fig. 4, locations 41, 42, 43, and 44 are positions of four corners of an address bar in a page of the browser, respectively, and the electronic device determines a rectangular area 45 surrounded by the locations 41, 42, 43, and 44 in the page of the browser as the designated location area according to coordinates of the locations 41, 42, 43, and 44 in the page of the browser.

In step 204, the text in the designated location area is read by calling the screen reading component interface of the operating system.

The electronic device can read the text in the designated position area through a screen reading component interface provided by a frame in an operating system. The screen reading component interface may obtain the text content in the specified location area obtained in step 203, for example, by reading the text in the address bar in fig. 3 (local food-thousand degrees) or fig. 4 (movie watching-cat searching local life) through the screen reading component.

Optionally, the processes in step 203 and step 204 may also be completed by a screen reading component provided by the system, for example, when the system used in the electronic device is Android, at this time, the electronic device may call a findaccessibitynodenfesbyviewid function provided by the system, transmit the identifier of the address bar of the browser to the findaccessibitynodenfesbyviewid function, and directly read the text of the address bar of the browser by the function according to the identifier of the address bar.

in step 205, keywords in the text are extracted.

A plurality of fixed texts or texts in fixed formats can be preset in the electronic device, the texts read in step 204 are compared with the fixed texts or the texts in fixed formats, and if the read texts contain the fixed texts, the fixed texts are extracted as keywords; and if the read text format is the same as the fixed format text, determining the keywords in the fixed format text as the keywords. For example, in the fixed format text "XXX-kilo degree", the "kilo degree" is the keyword of the fixed format text.

For a search engine, the several predefined fixed formats of text include all the search pages that may occur using the search engine. For example, for a "thousand-degree" search engine, the fixed text may be the fixed text displayed in the address bar in all search pages searched by the "thousand-degree one stroke", "thousand-degree news", "thousand-degree novel book city", "thousand-degree map", "thousand-degree bar", "thousand-degree picture", "thousand-degree music-mobile version", and so on; the fixed format text may be "XXX-kilo degrees", "XXX-kilo degree picture search", "XXX-kilo degrees video", etc., all displayed in the address bar of a search page searched using the engine. Based on the example of step 204, in step 205, the electronic device compares the text read in step 204 with the fixed format text to extract the fixed text. Taking the text in the address bar (local food-kilo degree) in fig. 3 as an example, in this step, the electronic device compares the text in the fixed format with the text in the (local food-kilo degree), and determines that the format of the (local food-kilo degree) conforms to the fixed format (XXX-kilo degree), so that the keyword "kilo degree" in the fixed format (XXX-kilo degree) is extracted as the extraction result.

As another example, the keywords in the fixed format may be located in different positions in the text, such as fixed format 1 (cat-XXX), fixed format 2 (XXX-kilo), fixed format 3 (XXX-guggle-XXX), and so on. In fixed format 1, fixed format 2, and fixed format 3, "XXX" represents a character string of indefinite length, "hunt cat-" represents a fixed character string prefix, "-kilo degree" represents a fixed character string suffix, and "-guggle-" represents a fixed keyword contained in the character string. Different fixed formats have different keyword extraction methods, the fixed format 1 can extract prefixes, the fixed format 2 can extract suffixes, the fixed format 3 can extract keywords identified in character strings, and the keyword extraction results are 'cat search', 'kilo-degree' and 'guggle', respectively.

in step 206, the search engine corresponding to the keyword is identified as the search engine.

optionally, a search engine corresponding to the keyword may be queried according to the keyword and a pre-stored correspondence between the keyword and the search engine; and identifying the search engine corresponding to the keyword as the search engine in the browser page.

Based on the example in step 205, the electronic device stores the corresponding relationship between each keyword and each search engine in advance, so this step can identify the search engine corresponding to the keyword as the search engine. For example, the "cat search" keyword corresponds to the "cat search" search engine, the "kilo degree" keyword corresponds to the "kilo degree" search engine, and the "guughe" keyword corresponds to the "guughe" search engine.

For example, a possible implementation manner of the present embodiment is described by taking a scenario in which the electronic device is a mobile phone and the user searches for related content of "today's weather" by using a "thousand-degree" search engine in an a-browser in the mobile phone as an example. When a user clicks an icon of an A-browser on the mobile phone, the mobile phone acquires an identifier A of the A-browser, and finds an address bar identifier a corresponding to the identifier A of the A-browser in a corresponding relation between the browser and the address bar identifier of the browser stored in the mobile phone in advance. Then, after the user selects the 'kilo-degree' search engine in the first browser, a search homepage of the 'kilo-degree' search engine is displayed on a screen of the mobile phone, the mobile phone reads characters (at one kilo-degree) in an address bar in the search homepage according to the address bar identification a at the moment, then extracts the keyword 'kilo-degree', the mobile phone determines that the search engine currently used by the user is the 'kilo-degree' search engine at the moment, and the mobile phone can call the search engine in the page of the browser based on the identified result so as to provide more services for the user. For example, at this time, when the user types in a word "today weather" in a search box of a "thousand degree" search engine by using an input method, the mobile phone can call the search engine in a page of the browser to search for a link related to the "today weather", and the searched link is displayed in an input candidate word menu of the input method, and after clicking the link, the user can directly transfer to a search result page calling the "today weather" searched by the "thousand degree" browser, without the need that the user types a number of Chinese characters of the "today weather" in a search box of a homepage of the "thousand degree" search engine, and then clicks a search button, the user can transfer to a search result page of the "today weather", so that application scenarios of the search engine in the browser are increased, and the mobile phone can provide more recommended quick search content links based on the current search engine, or provide related application entries.

To sum up, in the method for identifying a search engine in a browser page provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, an identifier of a browser corresponding to the browser page is obtained; inquiring the identification of an address bar in the browser according to the identification of the browser; determining a position area where the address bar is located as the specified position area according to the identification of the address bar in the browser, calling a screen reading component interface of an operating system to read a text in the specified position area, and extracting keywords from the text; the search engine corresponding to the keyword is identified as the search engine, the browser in the browser page can be identified only by determining a certain specific position area in the browser page, and the source code of the page does not need to be completely analyzed, so that the time for identifying the search engine is shortened, and the effect of improving the identification efficiency is achieved.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for identifying a search engine in a browser page according to yet another exemplary embodiment, which may be applied to an electronic device installed with at least one browser, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a personal computer, or the like. Referring to fig. 5, the method of identifying a search engine in a browser page may include the following steps.

In step 501, it is determined whether there is an input location in the browser page, if yes, go to step 502, otherwise, go to step 505.

if there is an input location, then execute steps 502-504, 506, 507 in sequence; if there is no input location, steps 505-507 are performed sequentially.

In step 502, an input location in a browser page is determined.

The input location may also be the location of the input component in the browser's page. For example, the input component may be a text input box, and the input position in the browser page is the position of the text input box; alternatively, when an input component in the page of the browser is in the activated to-be-input state, the input position may also be a position where a cursor in the input component flickers.

In step 503, a predetermined area around the input position is determined as a designated position area.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of fig. 5, which illustrates a method for determining a designated location area according to an input location. Taking the input position as the position where the cursor flickers, each designated position area in fig. 6 is an area that has a certain range with the input position 61 as the reference point and the input position being above, below, left, right, or centered thereon, and the designated position area may be a schematic diagram of a rectangle, a circle, or a polygon with a custom shape, and in fig. 6, the designated position area is represented by a range within a dashed line frame.

Optionally, if the browser page where the input position is located is a position where the page is zoomed, step 503 determines a ratio of the zooming of the page, and then determines the size of the area at the specified position according to the ratio of the zooming of the page. For example, when the browser page in which the input position is located is a browser page reduced by 80%, the designated position area originally determined according to the input position is also reduced by 80%.

in step 504, the image within the specified location area is intercepted by calling the screen capture component interface of the operating system.

The image capturing tool can be a screenshot program called by the operating system or a screenshot program carried by the operating system. When the screenshot program called by the operating system is used for screenshot, the screenshot program intercepts the image in the designated position area according to the designated position area provided in the step 503.

Or, when the screenshot is captured by using the screenshot program carried by the operating system, the screenshot program corresponding to the PrintScreen key may be called first, and then the full-screen image obtained by the screenshot program is captured according to the information of the specified location area obtained in step 502 and step 503 to obtain the image in the specified location area.

In step 505, the entire image of the browser page is intercepted.

if the browser page has no input position or the input position cannot be identified in the browser page, the operating system intercepts the whole image of the browser page, wherein the whole image can be a screen shot of a current browser page window or a whole screen shot of content contained in the current browser page. When the whole image is used for capturing the screen of the current browser page window, the screen capturing program can capture the image of the area occupied by the current browser page window; when the whole image is the whole screen capture of the content in the current browser page, the screen capture program can capture the content in the current browser step by step, and then the content in the browser captured step by step is spliced into the whole image. The step-by-step capturing process may be that, first, a partial sub-image from the topmost end to a certain middle position of the image is captured, then, a sub-image … from the position to the next position is captured downwards until the next position is a sub-image at the bottommost end of the image, at this time, an image processing program is invoked to splice the images into a complete image, and thus, the whole screenshot of the content contained in the browser page is obtained after the process.

In step 506, image features of the image are extracted.

in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when capturing the whole image of the browser page, the electronic device may perform pattern segmentation on the whole image, segment the whole image into a plurality of segmented images including relatively complete patterns, and perform image feature extraction on each segmented image.

in step 507, the search engine corresponding to the image feature is identified as the search engine.

Optionally, when identifying a search engine, a template image matching the image feature may be determined; inquiring a search engine corresponding to the template image according to the template image and a corresponding relation between the template image and the search engine which is stored in advance; and identifying a search engine corresponding to the template image as a search engine in the browser page.

Wherein the image feature may be a set of local features representing the image. In the acquired image, the image features of the image are extracted, and the extraction method may be a SIFT (Scale artifact Feature Transform) Feature extraction method and an image edge (image edge) extraction method.

If the image features are extracted by using an SIFT feature extraction method, a scale space is established at first, and the function of the scale space is to simulate the multi-scale features of image data. The scale space may be constructed in a manner that establishes an image pyramid. For example, the image pyramid can be divided into eight scale spaces with labels "1X", "2X", "3X" … "8X" from top to bottom according to the scale. In order to obtain the extreme point in the scale space, the sampling point in each image feature needs to be compared with all adjacent points of the sampling point, and the adjacent points comprise adjacent sampling points of the sampling point in the same scale space and corresponding sampling points of the adjacent sampling points and adjacent scales of the sampling points.

for example, the sampling point is the sampling point at the central position in nine sampling points in the nine-grid-shaped position relationship in the scale space with the label of "3X", and the other eight sampling points are all adjacent sampling points at the same scale as the sampling point at the central position; meanwhile, the sampling points corresponding to the eight adjacent sampling points in the scale spaces with the labels of 2X and 4X are all adjacent scale corresponding sampling points of the adjacent sampling points of the sampling point at the central position. In this case, the central sampling point needs to be compared with not only eight sampling points of the same scale, but also nine sampling points corresponding to the nine sampling points in the nine-grid-shaped position relationship in the adjacent scale "2X" and "4X" scale spaces, so as to ensure that the extreme point is detected in both the scale space and the two-dimensional image space. If the sampling point is the maximum or the minimum in the comparison, the sampling point is regarded as a feature point of the image feature in the scale space. And then, calculating the direction parameters of the characteristic points by using a module value and a direction formula according to the coordinates of the characteristic points, so that the characteristic points cannot be changed in parameters due to the rotation of the image.

Through the above processing procedure, each feature point of the image has: position coordinates, the scale and the direction parameters. In the subsequent image matching process, each feature point is matched with the matched image according to the three pieces of information, and if three points of which the information is matched with the three pieces of information of the feature point exist in the matched image, the feature point is considered as a matched point. Then, the proportion of the matching points which are the characteristic points in the matching image is counted, and whether the matching image is the image corresponding to the image or not is judged according to the proportion. For example, if the ratio exceeds 80%, the matching image is considered to be the image corresponding to the image, where the 80% is only one data for illustrating the implementation of the present disclosure to determine whether the matching image is the image corresponding to the image, and does not limit other possible ratio values in the present disclosure.

In step 507, the corresponding search engine is a search engine in the browser page according to the image matched with the image feature. Each search engine is provided with a plurality of matching images corresponding to the image feature, and when the image feature and a certain matching image form a matching relation, the search engine corresponding to the matching image is considered as the search engine corresponding to the image feature.

To sum up, the method for identifying a search engine in a browser page provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure determines an input position in the browser page; determining a predetermined area around the input position as the designated position area; intercepting the image in the designated position area; extracting image features of the image; identifying a search engine corresponding to the image characteristics as the search engine; if the browser page does not have an input position, the whole image of the browser page is intercepted, the browser in the browser page can be identified only by determining a certain specific position area in the browser page, and the source code of the page does not need to be completely analyzed, so that the time for identifying a search engine is shortened, and the effect of improving the identification efficiency is achieved.
