Description

Input method and device and method and device for updating word stock

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of input methods, in particular to an input method and device and a method and device for updating a word stock.

Background

For users of languages such as chinese, japanese, korean, etc., it is generally necessary to interact with the computer through an input method program. For example, a user may type an input string through a keyboard, and then the input string is converted into a candidate item of a corresponding language and displayed by an input method program according to a preset standard mapping rule, so that the candidate item selected by the user is displayed on a screen.

In the input process of the existing input method program, the word frequency of the corresponding entry in the word stock can be updated according to the on-screen word of the user, so that the on-screen word can be ranked at a position closer to the front in the candidate items in the subsequent input process, and the user can conveniently select the on-screen word. For example, in a certain input process, it is assumed that the candidate corresponding to the input string "wod" includes: "my", "my zone", "my brother", etc., and the user screens "my", the input method program may increase the word frequency of the entry "my" in the lexicon; then the entry "my" may appear in the preferred or second choice position of the candidate item for the user to screen when the input string in the subsequent input process is "wod".

However, in practical applications, the user may have the following personalized input habits: for a particular entry shorthand, for most entry spellings, for example, it is customary to enter "My" by the total-spelling input string "Wodou" and "My" by the shorthand input string "wod". If the user inputs the input string 'wo dou' again in the re-input process and selects the candidate item 'me all' to be displayed on the screen, the input method program can increase the word frequency of 'me all' as well; thus, when the user subsequently intends to input "my" through the input string "wod", since the input string "wod" is a simple spelling of "goodou", the input method program may find the corresponding entry "my", etc. in the thesaurus according to "wod", and when the word frequency of "my" is greater than that of "my", the entry "my" will be arranged in front of "my", and the user needs to manually select "my" in the candidate to implement the screen-up operation of "my", which will affect the input efficiency.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

For languages such as Chinese, the nature of Chinese is such that a shorthand and a full spell can correspond to the same entry. However, the existing input method program often adjusts the word frequency of the related entry based on the on-screen content of the user after the user performs the on-screen operation, however, the adjustment strategy does not consider the personalized input habit of the user, so that the ordering conflict between the simple spelling and the full spelling corresponding entries is easily caused. For example, if a user is accustomed to entering "my all" through the full pinyin input string "goodou" and entering "my" through the simple pinyin input string "wod" and the user screens "my all" through the full pinyin input string "goodou" more often, adjusting the word frequency of the relevant terms based on the user's on-screen content in the prior art will result in a higher word frequency of "my all" in the thesaurus; thus, when the user inputs the abbreviated spelling input string "wod", since "wod" is the abbreviated spelling of "goodou", the candidate item corresponding to "wod" includes "all me", and since the word frequency of "all me" is high, the candidate item "all me" will be ranked in the preferred position, the user needs to manually select a candidate item among the candidate items to realize the screen-on operation of the candidate item "my" meeting the intention, which affects the preference rate and the input efficiency. In addition, if the user screens wrong preferences due to misoperation (such as clicking a space), the wrong content on the screen needs to be deleted by pressing a backspace key and then input again, which not only brings inconvenience to the input of the user, but also reduces the input efficiency.

It can be seen that, since different input strings "goodou" and "wod" may correspond to the same entry "all me", when the user enters "goodou" on screen "all me", the word frequency of "all me" is increased, thereby causing a sorting conflict between the entry "all me" and "my" corresponding to the input string "wod".

In order to solve the above problems, in the embodiment of the present invention, an input string is added to a structure of a lexicon, and specifically, a mapping relationship between the input string and an entry is recorded by the lexicon; in addition, in the process of updating the word stock according to the content of the screen, the embodiment of the invention adjusts the word frequencies of the entries corresponding to different input string types, so that the word frequencies of the same entry corresponding to different input string types are different, and the corresponding entries and the word frequencies can be respectively obtained and sequenced according to the different input string types corresponding to the current input string in the input process.

Specifically, the different input string types of the embodiment of the present invention may include: an original input string and a related input string, wherein the original input string can be used for representing an input string originally input by a user, the related input string can be used for representing an input string related to the original input string, the related input string is different from the original input string and corresponds to the same term as the original input string, for example, if the user screens 'Wodou' on the input string 'Wodou', the 'Wodou' can be called as the original input string, and the 'wod', 'wd' and the like can be called as the related input string of 'Wodou'; as another example, if the user has "My" screened through input string "wod," wod "may be referred to as the original input string, and" goodou "," wd ", etc. as the relevant input string of" wod ".

In the embodiment of the present invention, in the mapping relationship between the input strings, the entries, and the word frequencies according to the on-screen content of the user and the original input strings corresponding to the on-screen content, the process of updating the word frequencies of the entries corresponding to the on-screen content may include: if the original input string is the same as the input string in the mapping relation, increasing the word frequency of the entry corresponding to the on-screen content in the mapping relation by a first increment; if the original input string is related to the input string in the mapping relation, increasing the word frequency of the entry corresponding to the on-screen content in the mapping relation by a second increment; under the condition that the original input string is the same as the input string in the mapping relationship, the input string and the entry in the mapping relationship are the input string input by the user and the corresponding content on the screen (for example, the input string 'wrodou' and the corresponding content on the screen, 'me', or the input string 'wod' and the corresponding content on the screen, 'my'), because the input string input by the user and the corresponding content on the screen can reflect the input habit of the user on the content on the screen, the embodiment of the invention can better reflect the increased increment of the word frequency of the entry corresponding to the original input string in the mapping relationship of the input habit of the user on the content on the screen, can enable the ordering result to better conform to the input habit of the user, and improve the preference rate and the input efficiency of the user.

By the embodiment of the invention, in the input process, the mapping relation among the input strings, the vocabulary entries and the word frequency can be searched according to the current input strings of the user so as to obtain the target vocabulary entries corresponding to the input strings and the word frequency of the target vocabulary entries, and the target vocabulary entries are sequenced and displayed according to the word frequency of the target vocabulary entries; the embodiment of the invention can better reflect that the word frequency of the entries in the mapping relation of the input habits of the user on the input strings and the corresponding on-screen contents is increased by larger increment, so that the sequencing result can better accord with the input habits of the user, and the preference rate and the input efficiency of the user are improved.

In an application example of the present invention, if a user is accustomed to inputting "all" through a full pinyin input string "goodou" and inputting "my" through a simple pinyin input string "wod", and the user inputs "all" through the full pinyin input string "goodou" for a relatively large number of times, the embodiment of the present invention may maintain a mapping relationship among input strings, terms, and term frequencies, and adjust the term frequencies of related terms in the mapping relationship based on the on-screen content of the user and the original input string corresponding thereto:

in the embodiment of the present invention, the mapping relationship among the input strings, the entries, and the word frequencies may include a plurality of data records. For example, in the case where "all me" is input by the spell input string "goodou", the corresponding mapping may include: data records 1 of "goodou", "my all" and word frequency, and related input strings of "goodou" (such as "wod", "wd", etc.), "my all" and data records 2 of word frequency, since the input string in data record 1 is the same as the original input string "goodou", a larger first increment x can be added for the word frequency of the entry in data record 1; since the input string in data record 2 is related to the original input string "goodou," a smaller second increment y may be added to the term frequency of the term in data record 2. Thus, the word frequency of the input string "goodou" corresponding to the term "my all" in the thesaurus can be made larger, and the word frequency of the input string "wod" corresponding to the term "my all" is made smaller.

As another example, where "my" is input by the shorthand input string "wod," the corresponding mapping may include: "wod", "my" and word frequency data records 3, and "wod" related input strings (e.g., "wroou", "wd", etc.), "my" and word frequency data records 4, since the input string in data record 3 is the same as the original input string "wod", a larger first increment x may be added for the word frequency of the entry in data record 3; since the input string in data record 4 is related to the original input string "wod," a smaller second increment y may be added to the frequency of the entry in data record 4. Thus, the word frequency of the input string "wod" corresponding to the entry "my" in the thesaurus can be made large.

It can be seen that, under the condition that the user is accustomed to inputting "me all" through the full spelling input string "goodou" and accustomed to inputting "me" through the simple spelling input string "wod," the word frequency updating of the embodiment of the present invention can make the word frequency of the entry "me all" corresponding to the full spelling input string "goodou" in the thesaurus larger and the word frequency of the entry "me" corresponding to the simple spelling input string "wod" larger. Thus, when the user inputs the abbreviated spelling input string "wod", because the word frequency of the word "wod" corresponding to the entry "my" is relatively high, and the word frequency of the word "wod" corresponding to the entry "my" is relatively low, the candidate item "my" meeting the input intention of the user can be arranged at a front position, such as a preferred position, so that the ranking result can better meet the input habit of the user, and the preferred rate and the input efficiency of the user are improved.

Method embodiment one

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a method for updating a thesaurus according to the present invention is shown, which specifically may include:

the updating the word frequency of the entry corresponding to the on-screen content in the mapping relationship among the input string, the entry, and the word frequency may include:

step 101, if the original input string is the same as the input string in the mapping relation, increasing the word frequency of the entry corresponding to the content on the screen in the mapping relation by a first increment; and

step 102, if the original input string is related to the input string in the mapping relation, increasing the word frequency of the entry corresponding to the on-screen content in the mapping relation by a second increment; wherein the first increment may be greater than the second increment.

The embodiment of the present invention may be applied to an input method program of an input mode such as keyboard symbol input, handwriting input, voice input, etc., and for convenience of description, the embodiment of the present invention refers to a code character string input by a user in the input mode as an input string. In the field of input methods, for input method programs in, for example, chinese, japanese, korean, or other languages, an input string input by a user may be generally converted into a candidate for a corresponding language. The process of updating the lexicon and the input process of the invention are mainly explained by taking Chinese as an example, and other languages can be referred to each other. It is to be understood that the chinese input method may include, but is not limited to, a full pinyin, a simple pinyin, a stroke, a five-stroke, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to a specific input method program corresponding to a certain language.

The input method program can be run on the intelligent terminal, and the intelligent terminal specifically includes but is not limited to: smart phones, tablet computers, electronic book readers, MP3 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III) players, MP4 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV) players, laptop portable computers, car-mounted computers, desktop computers, set-top boxes, smart televisions, wearable devices, and the like.

According to some embodiments, the input string may include, but is not limited to: a key symbol or a combination of a plurality of key symbols input by a user through a key. The key symbol may specifically include: pinyin, strokes, kana, etc.

In embodiments of the present invention, the on-screen content may be used to represent one or more characters corresponding to an input string. The content on the screen can be characters of languages such as Chinese characters, English characters, Japanese characters and the like, and the content on the screen can also be symbol combinations in the forms of characters, characters and the like. The color text includes but is not limited to a drawing composed of lines, symbols and words, for example, examples of the color text may include: ": p ",": o ",": etc.

The embodiment of the invention adds the input string of the user in the structure of the word stock, and particularly records the mapping relation between the input string and the corresponding entry of the content on the screen through the word stock; in addition, in the process of updating the word stock according to the content of the screen, the embodiment of the invention adjusts the word frequencies of the entries corresponding to different input string types, so that the corresponding word frequencies of the same entry under different input string types are different. According to some embodiments, the word library used for storing the mapping relationship between the input strings, the entries, and the word frequencies may be a user word library, and the like.

In an optional embodiment of the invention, the method may further comprise: acquiring a target data record matched with the on-screen content of the user from the mapping relation among the input strings, the entries and the word frequency;

then the original input string is the same as the input string in the mapping relationship, which may include: the original input string is the same as the input string in the target data record; the correlation of the original input string with the input strings in the mapping relationship may include: the original input string is related to an input string in the target data record.

For example, if the user is "wondou" on screen "me" through the spelling input string, "the following target data records matching the content on screen of the user can be obtained from the mapping relationship among the input string, the entry, and the word frequency: data records 1 for "gooou", "wodo", and word frequency, and data records 2 for "wodou" and its associated input strings (e.g., "wod", "wd", etc.), "wodo", and word frequency. Because the input string in the data record 1 is the same as the original input string "gooou", a first increment x which is larger can be added aiming at the term frequency of the entry in the data record 1; since the input string in data record 2 is related to the original input string "goodou," a smaller second increment y may be added to the term frequency of the term in data record 2.

For convenience of description, in the embodiment of the present invention, a mapping relationship between an input string, an entry, and a word frequency may include: a first mapping relationship and a second mapping relationship; specifically, a mapping relationship corresponding to the original input string, the first term, and the term frequency may be referred to as a first mapping relationship, for example, the data record 1 of "goodou", "my all", and the term frequency in the above example may be a data record corresponding to the first mapping relationship. In the first mapping relation, "gooou" is called an original input string, "all of me" is called a first term, and the term frequency of all of me represents the term frequency called the first term. Referring to the mapping relationship between the relevant input string, the second term, and the word frequency as the second mapping relationship, for example, the data record 2 of "wod", "me all", and the word frequency in the above example may be the data record corresponding to the second mapping relationship. In this second mapping, "wod" is referred to as a related input string, "me all" is referred to as a second term, and the term frequency of "me all" characterizes the term frequency referred to as the second term.

In practical applications, the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship may include a plurality of data records, and the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship may be stored in the same or different word banks, which is to be understood that the specific storage manner of the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the associating the original input string with the input string in the mapping relationship may specifically include:

the original input string is an input string in a full spelling form, and the input string in the mapping relation is an input string in a simple spelling form corresponding to the original input string; and/or

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the original input string input by the user is an input string in a full spelling mode, for example, the original input string input by the user is "goodo" and the content on the screen is "all me", where "goodo" is an input string in a full spelling mode of "all me", and a relevant input string corresponding to "goodo" may include: an input string in the form of a simple spelling such as "wod", "wd", etc. After the input method program acquires an original input string 'goodou', a content 'my all' on a screen, and related input strings 'wod' and 'wd', a first increment is added to the word frequency of a first entry 'my all' corresponding to the original input string 'goodou' in a first mapping relation, a second increment is added to the word frequency of a second entry 'my all' corresponding to a related input string 'wod' in a second mapping relation, and a second increment is added to the word frequency of a second entry 'my all' corresponding to the related input string 'wd' in the second mapping relation.

When the original input string input by the user is an input string in the abbreviated form, for example, the original input string input by the user is "wod", and the content on the screen is "my", wherein "wod" is the input string in the abbreviated form of "my", and the relevant input string corresponding to "wod" may include: an input string "wode" in full spell form, and an input string "wd" in simplified spell form. After the input method program acquires the original input string "wod", the content "my" on the screen, and the related input strings "wode" and "wd", the word frequency of a first entry "my" corresponding to the original input string "wod" in the first mapping relationship is increased by a first increment, the word frequency of a second entry "my" corresponding to the related input string "wode" in the second mapping relationship is increased by a second increment, and the word frequency of the second entry "my" corresponding to the related input string "wd" in the second mapping relationship is increased by a second increment.

In yet another optional embodiment of the present invention, the method may further comprise: and establishing a mapping relation among the input strings, the entries and the word frequencies according to the on-screen content of the user and the corresponding original input strings.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the mapping relationships among the input strings, the entries, and the word frequencies, such as the first mapping relationship corresponding to the original input string and the second mapping relationship corresponding to the related input string, may be established and updated according to the input process of the user. Specifically, when the user uses the input method program for the first time, the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship may be null, after the user generates the on-screen content through the input method program, the input method program may establish the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship corresponding to the input string in the lexicon according to the on-screen content of the user, and when the user generates the same on-screen content next time, the input method program may update the established first mapping relationship and the established second mapping relationship in the lexicon.

In order to more clearly illustrate the method for updating a thesaurus according to the embodiment of the present invention, an implementation process of the method for updating a thesaurus according to the present invention is described below with reference to specific examples.

Application example 1

Referring to table 1, an example of a mapping relationship between an input string, an entry, and a word frequency according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

TABLE 1

Input string	Entry word	Word frequency
			wod	My	100
wod	I all	105
			wod	I get	110
wod	I am to	115
			wod	I arrive at	120
wode	My	200
			wode	I get	205
wode	Wold	210
			wodou	I all	300

Assuming that the user's input process generated the on-screen content "My" by "wod", Table 1 can be updated to obtain Table 2, wherein the first increment x of "wod" for "My" is greater than the second increment y of "woode" for "My".

TABLE 2

Assuming that the user's re-entry process produced the on-screen content "My' through" woode ", Table 2 can be updated to obtain Table 3, wherein a first increment x of" woode "for" My "is greater than a second increment y of" wod "for" My ".

TABLE 3

Input string	Entry word	Word frequency
			wod	My	100+x
wod	All I am	105
			wod	I get	110+y
wod	I aim at	115
			wod	I arrive at	120
wode	My	200+y
			wode	I get	205+x
wode	Wald & lt & gt	210
			wodou	I all	300

Application example 2

Step A1, the user generates the content "My" on the screen by inputting the string "wod";

step A2, inquiring a first mapping relation according to an original input string 'wod' and the content 'my' on the screen, and establishing a corresponding first mapping relation on the assumption that the corresponding first mapping relation does not exist (the mapping relation among the original input string 'wod', a first entry 'my' and word frequency), wherein according to some embodiments, the initial word frequency of the first entry in the first mapping relation can be 0;

step A3, increasing the word frequency of the first entry in the first mapping relation by a first increment x, wherein the updated first mapping relation is shown in Table 4;

TABLE 4

Original input string	First entry	Word frequency
			wod	My	x

Step A4, obtaining relevant input strings corresponding to My, including input strings in a full spelling form 'wode' and input strings in other simple spelling forms 'wde' and 'wd'; for example, a second mapping relationship is queried according to the related input string "wode" and the second term "my", and if there is no corresponding second mapping relationship, a corresponding second mapping relationship (a mapping relationship between the related input string "wode", the second term "my", and the word frequency) is established, according to some embodiments, the initial word frequency of the second term in the second mapping relationship may be 0;

step A5, increasing the word frequency of the second entry in the second mapping relationship by a second increment y, wherein the updated second mapping relationship is shown in Table 5;

TABLE 5

Related input string	Second entry	Word frequency
			wode	My	y

			wd	My	y

Step A6, the user generates the content of the upper screen "Woou" by inputting the string "Woodou";

step A7, inquiring a first mapping relation according to an original input string 'goodou' and an on-screen content 'me all', and establishing a corresponding first mapping relation on the assumption that the corresponding first mapping relation does not exist (mapping relation between the original input string 'goodou', a first entry 'me all' and a word frequency), wherein according to some embodiments, the initial word frequency of the first entry in the first mapping relation can be 0;

step A8, increasing the word frequency of the first entry in the first mapping relationship by a first increment x, wherein the updated first mapping relationship is shown in Table 6;

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present invention, different word frequency increments are assigned to the first entry corresponding to the original input string and the second entry corresponding to the related input string, specifically, the first entry corresponding to the original input string of the user is assigned with a larger word frequency increment, and the second entry corresponding to the related input string is assigned with a smaller word frequency increment, where the original input string and the entry in the first mapping relationship are the input string input by the user and the corresponding on-screen content thereof, and the input string input by the user and the corresponding on-screen content thereof can reflect the input habit of the user on the input string and the corresponding on-screen content thereof, so that the updated word frequency more conforms to the input habit of the user.

In summary, in the prior art, entries corresponding to the original input string and the related input string are not distinguished, so that the entry currently required by the user is arranged behind, and the entry currently not required by the user is arranged in front, even in the preferred position, thereby reducing the preferred rate.

In order to solve the above problems and improve the preference rate, the embodiment of the present invention adds the input string of the user in the structure of the lexicon, specifically, records the mapping relationship between the on-screen content and the input string of the user through the lexicon; moreover, the process of updating the word frequency of the entry corresponding to the on-screen content in the mapping relationship among the input string, the entry and the word frequency according to the on-screen content of the user and the original input string corresponding to the on-screen content of the user in the embodiment of the present invention may include: if the original input string is the same as the input string in the mapping relation, increasing the word frequency of the entry corresponding to the on-screen content in the mapping relation by a first increment; if the original input string is related to the input string in the mapping relation, increasing the word frequency of the entry corresponding to the content on the screen in the mapping relation by a second increment, wherein the first increment is larger than the second increment; under the condition that the original input string is the same as the input string in the mapping relationship, the input string and the entry in the mapping relationship are the input string and the corresponding content on the screen (such as the input string 'wrodou' and the corresponding 'my', or the input string 'wod' and the corresponding 'my') input by the user, and the input string and the corresponding content on the screen input by the user can reflect the input habit of the user on the input string and the corresponding content on the screen, so that the embodiment of the invention can better reflect the increased increment of the word frequency of the entry corresponding to the original input string in the mapping relationship of the input habit of the user on the input string and the corresponding content on the screen, and further ensure that the updated word frequency is more in line with the input habit of the user.

Method embodiment two

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of an input method according to the present invention is shown, which may specifically include:

step 201, according to a current input string of a user, searching in a mapping relation among the input string, terms and word frequencies to obtain a target term corresponding to the current input string and the word frequency of the target term;

step 202, sequencing and displaying the target entry according to the word frequency of the target entry.

The current input string may be used to represent the input string currently entered by the user, i.e., the input string currently received by the input method program.

In the input process, according to the current input string of the user, the mapping relation among the input string, the vocabulary entry and the word frequency can be searched to obtain the target vocabulary entry corresponding to the input string and the word frequency of the target vocabulary entry, and the target vocabulary entry is used as the candidate item to be sequenced and displayed according to the word frequency of the target vocabulary entry.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, when the original input string corresponding to the on-screen content is the same as the input string in the mapping relationship, the word frequency of the entry corresponding to the on-screen content in the mapping relationship may be increased by a first increment, and when the original input string corresponding to the on-screen content is related to the input string in the mapping relationship, the word frequency of the entry corresponding to the on-screen content in the mapping relationship may be increased by a second increment; the first increment is greater than the second increment. The embodiment of the invention can better reflect that the word frequency of the entries in the mapping relation of the input habits of the user on the input strings and the corresponding on-screen contents is increased by larger increment, so that the sequencing result in the input process can better accord with the input habits of the user, and the preference rate and the input efficiency of the user are improved.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the associating the original input string corresponding to the on-screen content with the input string in the mapping relationship may specifically include:

Still take application example two as an example to illustrate the input method of the present invention. After steps a1 through a10 are completed, assuming that the user again wants to input "my" through the input string "wod", the input method program may perform the following steps:

step B1, the input method program searches for the mapping relationship among the input string, the entry, and the word frequency according to the current input string "wod" of the user, and the target entry corresponding to the current input string "wod" can be found and obtained by: "My", etc.; wherein, the word frequency of the target entry "my" corresponding to the current input string "wod" is x, and the word frequency of the target entry "my" corresponding to the current input string "wod" is y;

and step B2, sequencing and displaying the target entries according to the word frequency of the target entries, wherein the word frequency x of the target entry My is greater than the word frequency y of the target entry My, so the My can still be arranged in front of the My, even in a preferred position, the user can quickly select the required candidate, and the input efficiency of the user is improved.

In practical applications, the word library of the input method program may be various, for example, in addition to the word library for storing the mapping relationship between the input strings, the entries, and the word frequencies according to the embodiment of the present invention, the word library of the input method program may further include: in order to improve the coverage rate of the candidate items corresponding to the current input string presented to the user, some embodiments of the present invention may further obtain the candidate items corresponding to the current input string through another lexicon other than the lexicon used for storing the mapping relationship between the input string, the vocabulary entry, and the word frequency in the embodiments of the present invention, in such a case, the target vocabulary entry and the vocabulary entries from another lexicon participate in the sorting together, and in the corresponding sorting process, there may be a vocabulary entry deduplication process, for example, if the target vocabulary entry is duplicated with the vocabulary entries from another lexicon, the target vocabulary entry is preferentially retained, the vocabulary entries from another lexicon are discarded, and the like.

In an optional embodiment of the invention, the method may further comprise: searching in a system word bank according to a current input string of a user to obtain a system entry corresponding to the current input string and a word frequency of the system entry; and sequencing and displaying the target entry and the system entry according to the word frequency of the target entry and the word frequency of the system entry.

Application example three

In practical application, a user can display English words on a screen in a Chinese state, and if some simple spellings of the Chinese words and English words are repeated, sequencing conflict is easy to occur between the Chinese words and the English words. For example: when a user first generates a "hold" of the content on the screen by inputting the string "hold", and then generates a "traffic light" of the content on the screen by inputting the string "hong lveng", and the user again wants to display an english word "hold" by inputting the string "hold", the "traffic light" of the chinese word may be arranged in front, and the "hold" of the english word required by the user may be arranged in the rear, and the user needs to manually select the "hold".

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the entries in the mapping relationship may include entries corresponding to different languages, for example, the first entry and the second entry may be entries corresponding to different languages, so that the ordering conflict between the entries corresponding to different languages, for example, the ordering conflict between an english word and an english word, may be solved.

The method for updating the word stock and the input method can solve the problem of the ordering conflict between the English words and the Chinese words, and the specific processing process can comprise the following steps:

step C1, the user generates the content of the screen (English word) hold by inputting the string "hold";

step C2, establishing the following first mapping relation for the content "hold" on the screen and the corresponding original input string "hold": the mapping relation among the original input string 'hold', the first entry 'hold' and the word frequency is assumed that the initial word frequency of the first entry 'hold' is 0;

step C3, increasing the word frequency of the first entry in the first mapping relation newly established in the step C2 by a first increment x; the current word frequency of the first entry "hold" is x;

because the content of the upper screen is "hold" which is an English word, the "hold" has no corresponding related input string, and the corresponding second mapping relation can not be updated.

Step C4, generating a screen-on content traffic light by the user through an input string 'honglvdeng';

step C5, establishing a first mapping relation as follows according to the on-screen content traffic light and the corresponding original input string Honglvdeng: the mapping relation between an original input string 'honglvdeng', a first entry 'traffic light' and a word frequency; the initial word frequency of the first entry traffic light is assumed to be 0;

step C6, increasing the word frequency of the first entry in the first mapping relation newly established in the step C5 by a first increment x; the current word frequency of the first entry traffic light is x;

step C7, obtaining relevant input strings corresponding to the traffic lights, wherein the relevant input strings comprise input strings in other simple spelling forms, such as 'hold', 'hongld', and the like; taking a related input string "hold" as an example, the following second mapping relationship can be newly established: a mapping relation among the related input string 'hold', the second term 'traffic light' and the word frequency; the initial word frequency of the second entry traffic light is 0;

step C8, increasing the word frequency of the second entry in the second mapping relation newly established in the step C7 by a second increment y; the current word frequency of the second entry traffic light is y;

step C9, receiving a current input string "hold" of a user, searching in the mapping relation among the input string, the entries and the word frequency according to the current input string "hold" of the user, and searching to obtain a target entry corresponding to the current input string "hold" comprises: hold, traffic lights, etc.; wherein the word frequency of the target entry 'hold' is x, and the word frequency of the target entry 'traffic light' is y;

and step C14, sequencing and displaying the target entries according to the word frequency of the target entries, wherein the word frequency x of the target entry 'hold' is greater than the word frequency y of the target entry 'traffic light', so that the 'hold' can be arranged in front of the traffic light, even in a preferred position, a user can quickly select required candidates, and the input efficiency of the user is improved.

Application example four

The embodiment of the invention can also be applied to solving the sequencing conflict in the zero initial consonant and vowel. Wherein, the zero initial consonant and vowel means that a, e, o and the like can be independently used as an independent full spelling syllable, and can also be used as ai, an, ang and ao; ei. en, eng, er; simple spelled vowels of other syllables such as ou.

For example: the user generates the on-screen content "small amount" by inputting the string "xiaoe"; then the user generates the content of the upper screen of "two small" by inputting the string "xiaoer"; when the user inputs the current input string "xiaoe" again, since the zero initial vowel "e" is a simple spelling of the syllable "er", that is, the input string "xiaoe" is a simple spelling of the input string "xiaoe", the candidate "xiaodi" may be arranged in front of the "xiao", and the candidate "xiaodi" required by the user is arranged behind the input string "xiaoe", and the user needs to manually select "xiaodi".

The word bank updating method and the input method can solve the problem of sequencing conflict in the zero initial consonants and vowels. The specific implementation process is similar to that of the second application example and that of the third application example, and therefore will not be described herein.

To sum up, in the input process, the embodiment of the present invention may search the mapping relationship among the input string, the entry, and the word frequency according to the current input string of the user to obtain the target entry corresponding to the input string and the word frequency of the target entry, and sort and display the target entry according to the word frequency of the target entry; the embodiment of the invention can better reflect that the word frequency of the entries in the mapping relation of the input habits of the user on the input strings and the corresponding on-screen contents is increased by larger increment, so that the sequencing result can better accord with the input habits of the user, and the preference rate and the input efficiency of the user are improved.
