Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments of the specification.
As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a search method, where the method includes:
step S110: in response to the search instruction:
step S120: acquiring key characters input by a user in a search box;
step S130: acquiring a plurality of windows in an active state, wherein each window of the plurality of windows in the active state corresponds to loaded display content for window output;
step S140: searching based on the key characters and the windows to generate a first search result;
step S150: and outputting the first search result, wherein the first search result is used for indicating a first window which is matched with the key character on the corresponding display content in the plurality of windows in the active state.
The search method provided by the embodiment can be a search method applied to various user terminals. The user terminal may include: a desktop Personal Computer (PC), a notebook computer, a tablet computer, or a wearable device such as a mobile phone.
The step S110 may include:
displaying a search box, and enabling the search box to enter a preparation state so as to receive content input by a user from a human-computer interaction interface (e.g. a physical keyboard, a virtual keyboard, a voice acquisition interface);
user input confirming the search is detected, or an automatic search instruction triggered by the detection of new information content in the search box is detected.
The step S120 may specifically include:
after the search instruction is acquired, the key character is acquired based on the content input by the user, for example, the subject content of the content input by the user is extracted.
In some embodiments, all of the content received by the search box may be searched as the key character. In other embodiments, the content input by the user is processed by a bag-of-words method, etc., and the key information is extracted as the key character.
In step S130, a window that is opened and in an active state in the current state of the electronic device is obtained.
In this embodiment, the window in the active state may include: the device starts and completes the window for content loading. In this way, if the electronic device detects that the window is switched from one window a to another window B in an active state, the electronic device directly performs a switching operation to display the window B, and then the display content in the window B can be seen without regenerating a window and filling the display content into the window.
In summary, the window in the active state in this embodiment may be a window that has been started and completed loading content by the electronic device, and in general, the electronic device does not have processing threads allocated to the windows, and the processing threads are in an active state or a standby state, and if window switching or processing related to the window operation is performed, the electronic device does not need to additionally allocate resources (e.g., storage resources and/or computing resources) to the window again, and may directly operate the window by using the allocated resources (e.g., established threads).
In this embodiment, the window in the active state may be a window in the foreground of the electronic device, for example, a window displayed on the topmost layer of the display interface and available for the user to directly view and operate, or a window in the background, and the user may switch the window, so that the window may be created without reestablishing the window.
Of course, the display status of these active windows may include: the task bar is displayed on the desktop in the form of a window, or displayed on the desktop in the form of an icon, or displayed on the task bar of the desktop in the form of a minimized window.
If the electronic device is a mobile device such as a mobile phone, a background window in an active state may not be displayed currently. If the current electronic device is in the small window display mode, that is, the display area of the window provided by the electronic device is smaller than that of the display screen, the background window in the active state may be the window covered by the foreground window.
In step S140 in this embodiment, a matching search is performed on the key characters in the search box and the content displayed in the plurality of windows in the active state, so as to obtain a first search result.
The first search result herein may include: search success, search failure, and the like. For example, when the search is successful, then the first search result may include: and the window identification of the window matched with the key character and the display content matched with the key character in the window.
After the search is completed, the first search result is output. Here, outputting the first search result includes: and displaying and outputting the first search result, and/or outputting the first search result in a voice mode.
For example, the step S150 may include:
when the search is successful, (namely, one display content of at least one window in the plurality of windows in the active state meets a preset matching relation with the key character), the corresponding part of the content of the window which is matched with the key character to be successful can be directly displayed; the first window may be a window in which the display content and the key character satisfy the preset matching relationship. In other embodiments, the first window may be a new window for displaying the search result, for example, a dedicated window for displaying the display content having a matching relationship with the key character (i.e., satisfying the preset matching relationship) in the first window. Of course, the first window may also be a display window on which the search box is displayed, and when the search is successful, the display content having a matching relationship with the key character may be directly displayed below the search box.
The step S150 may further include: when the search fails, prompt information of the search failure can be displayed on a search page displaying the search box.
By using the searching method of the embodiment, when a user opens a plurality of applications or opens a window of one application, the user can search whether contents required by the user currently exist in other internal windows through the searching window in the electronic device. For example, a user a writes a paper by using a computer, the writing of the paper opens a document window 1, and also opens a document window 2, a document window 3 and a web page window 1, and reference data required for the user a to write the paper may be in the document windows 1 to 3 and the web page window 1. If it is necessary for the user a to find corresponding content to provide reference for writing a thesis in the prior art, the user may need to sequentially switch the foreground window to the document window 2, the document window 3, and the web page window 1, and then check and/or search in these windows, which is obviously inefficient. In this embodiment, a user can directly input content related to search by using the search box, the electronic device can acquire the key characters, automatically search in the document window 2, the document window 3 and the webpage window 1, generate corresponding search results, and output the search results, obviously, the user does not need to manually switch each window, and check and search in the corresponding window one by one, so that the search efficiency and the intelligence are obviously greatly improved, the user operation is simplified, and the user experience and the intelligence of the electronic device are improved.
Optionally, the method further comprises:
and calling the search boxes which are independent from the plurality of windows in the active state according to a preset mode.

The windows in the active state comprise search interfaces called by the outside, the external search box can be in butt joint with the windows through the search interfaces, so that key characters are submitted into the windows, information matching search with display contents in the windows is carried out, and search results of a single window corresponding to the window are returned to a search program corresponding to the external search box through the search interfaces. Of course, the correspondence between the search box and the window is not limited thereto.
In still other embodiments, the search box may be a system search box provided within an operating system of the electronic device; when the operating system searches, a search interface for information interaction between the search box and the windows does not need to be arranged on each window. The operating system may acquire a storage region of the display content of each active window, match the key characters of the search box with the display content of the active windows in the corresponding storage region, and then generate the first search result. In still other embodiments, the operating system may copy the display contents in the active window to the search cache region, mark the source window of each display content, search and match the key characters with the display contents in the search cache region, and obtain the search matching result with the display contents of each window, thereby generating the first search result.
In summary, the search box in this embodiment is independent of the searched windows, and is an outer search box of the searched windows in the active state. The external search box may be a search box provided by a search application internal to the device or may be an internal search component of the operating system. The operating system here may be a windows operating system or an android operating system or an apple (iOS) operating system.
In this embodiment, the preset mode call may be used for various modes of starting the search box, and several optional modes are provided as follows:
the first alternative is as follows:

In this embodiment, for convenience of search, a second search result is obtained based on the search box and the identifier of the application that is not started. And outputting the second search result. For example, the content currently searched by the user may be in an application that is not started, but since the application is not started, the electronic device may have no way to directly return the display content having a matching relationship with the key character, so that the application identifier of the corresponding application is output as a second search result, which is convenient for the user to obtain the information that the user wants to search by starting the corresponding application, and the like.
Optionally, the method further comprises:
detecting a selection operation input by a user;
and determining a plurality of windows corresponding to the search instructions for responding to the search box according to the selection operation.
In this embodiment, the method further includes detecting a selection operation input by the user, where the selection operation may be a window for selecting a search instruction corresponding to the response search box. And the window corresponding to the search instruction is a searched object, namely a searched window.
For example, the windows currently in an active state in the electronic device include M windows, and N of the windows may be searched for in response to the search instruction according to a selection operation input by the user.
In some embodiments, a window identifier of a window currently in an active state may be displayed on a display page of the search box, and a check box for checking a corresponding window input by a user may be detected to select a part or all of the windows in the active state as a window for responding to a search instruction corresponding to the search box this time. If the user does not check the corresponding window, that is, under the default condition, the search instruction searches all windows corresponding to the search box, that is, searches all windows.
Optionally, the plurality of windows in an active state includes:
at least two windows of the same application in an active state;
and/or the presence of a gas in the gas,
at least two windows of different applications that are in an active state.
In this embodiment, the multiple windows may be different windows of the same application, for example, multiple windows opened by a word application respectively.
In some embodiments, the multiple windows may be windows of different applications, such as a web page window of a web page, an application window of a social application, or a reading window of a reading application, etc.
The windows searched at a time in this embodiment may include: at least two windows of one application, and different windows of at least two applications.
Obviously, in this embodiment, the number of the windows to which the search instruction corresponding to the search box points may be multiple or multiple, and the search box has the characteristic of a wide searchable range.
In some embodiments, the step S130 may further include:

In the former embodiment, the window responding to the search instruction this time is determined based on the selection operation of the user, that is, the searched window is determined based on the selection operation of the user. In this embodiment, the electronic device may automatically determine the searched window. Specifically, for example, a first display position of the search box is first obtained, then second display positions of the windows in the active state are obtained, and the searched window is automatically determined based on a relative position relationship between the first display position and the second display positions.
For example, the search box may be a search box that is displayed in suspension. The floating display here may be displayed on the uppermost layer. The searched window may be: a window at least partially covered by the search box.
In other embodiments, when a user operates multiple windows, if the user wants to search the contents of which window, the user may be used to move the search boxes to the corresponding window attachments, so in this embodiment, it may be determined whether the corresponding window is a window that needs to respond to the search instruction according to the distance between the search boxes and the windows.
In some embodiments, the determining whether a relative positional relationship between the first display position and the second display position of the nth window in an active state satisfies a preset positional relationship includes:
when the covering of the cable frame is displayed on at least one application window of a first application, determining that second display positions of all active windows of the first application and the first display position meet the preset position relation; and the display area of the N windows in the active state is smaller than that of the display screen.
At this time, if one search box covers one window of the document application, all the windows in the active state of the document application may be considered to belong to the windows that need to be searched in response to the search instruction.
Further, in order to avoid unnecessary searching and reduce false searching, when the display proportion of the cable frame, which covers and is displayed on at least one application window of the first application, is greater than a preset proportion, it is determined that the second display positions of all windows in an active state of the first application and the first display position satisfy the preset position relationship; and the display area of the N windows in the active state is smaller than that of the display screen.
For example, the preset ratio is 0.3, if the current application a has 3 active windows, where the search box is covered on one or more windows of the application a, the window with the largest current coverage area of the search box is selected, and the display ratio is calculated. For example, if the search box is covered by 50% of the window, it may be considered that obviously, if the ratio is greater than the preset ratio of 0.3, it may be considered that all the windows in the active state of the current application a are the windows that need to be searched.
By setting the preset proportion, unnecessary search caused by careless small part of the search box covering the application which does not need to search can be further reduced. In the present embodiment, the display ratio may be selected from 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and preferably 0.5 or more.
In other embodiments, the determining whether a relative positional relationship between the first display position and the second display position of the nth window in an active state satisfies a preset positional relationship includes:
judging whether the search box is covered on the nth window in an active state or not according to the first display position and the second display position;
when the search frame is covered on the nth window in the active state, determining that the first display position of the search and the second display position of the nth window in the active state meet the preset position relation.
In the embodiment, the window which is focused on which the current search box is covered is not displayed, but the window which is focused on which the search box is covered is known, and all the windows which are covered and in the active state are the windows which need to be searched.
In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

Example 2:
the present example provides a search method mainly in that a search is for at least one running program that has run. For example, when writing a paper, a user needs to find a lot of data, and opens multiple web pages or multiple different application interfaces to view the content. If the user writes a certain viewpoint during writing, a search function is started, keywords are input, and the search result is the part which corresponds to the content displayed on the multiple webpages or different applications and is related to the keywords. In order to simplify the search, in the embodiment, a search box capable of searching across windows is provided, when a keyword input by a user in the search box is detected, the keyword is compared with content displayed by a plurality of webpages and/or a plurality of applications, and information content meeting the matching degree requirement after comparison is output as a search result of the cross-window search in the electronic device.
The multiple windows may be multiple different windows corresponding to one application, for example, a browser application, and may correspond to multiple different windows, and the document editing application (e.g., a word) may start multiple words each corresponding to one window; the multiple windows may also be respective windows of multiple different applications. Multiple windows, searched at once, may also include different windows for different applications in some embodiments, which may enable cross-application searching. Of course, the single search may be performed for a combination of the two cases. 1. A window (a window corresponding to a different page that can be loaded by a user through multiple operations) of multiple different pages already loaded in an application already in a working state, that is, a window spanning multiple different pages under one application; 2. the windows corresponding to the applications that are already in the working state, i.e., the windows across different applications. The result of the search is also the presentation of the application program matching successfully or/and the presentation of the corresponding content of the application program matching successfully in the screen for the at least one running program that has already run.
