Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.

In practical applications, the input requirements of some custom terms are often associated with the first scenario corresponding to some specific APP. For example, the user's profession is a commercial customer service that requires high frequency input during work, "you are, the commercial is inexpensive and is packaged and posted! "so the following mapping of strings to custom terms can be set by adding custom terms: "nh" → "you good, the item is inexpensive and good, and the package is mailed! ". However, the custom entry is often frequently applied in a first scenario corresponding to an instant messaging APP, but is hardly used in a second scenario corresponding to other APPs (e.g., a search APP, a web page APP, a document APP, etc.); the user-defined entries are usually set in the front candidate positions (such as the first-choice position, the second-choice position, and the like) of the input method program by the user, and thus the user-defined entries will cause waste of the candidate positions of the input method program in the second scenario.

The embodiment of the invention provides an input scheme, which can acquire an input string of a user and input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string; determining a target self-defined entry matched with the input string and the corresponding input environment characteristics according to the mapping relation between the self-defined entry matched with the input string and the input environment characteristics; and displaying the target self-defined vocabulary entry as a candidate item corresponding to the input string.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the input environment characteristics in the mapping relationship between the custom entry and the input environment characteristics can be used to represent the input environment of the application program, for example, to which the custom entry is applicable, that is, the custom entry is valid in the application program corresponding to the input environment characteristics in the mapping relationship, and the custom entry is invalid in the application program corresponding to the input environment characteristics that do not appear in the mapping relationship; according to the embodiment of the invention, the target self-defined entry is determined according to the mapping relation between the self-defined entry matched with the input string and the input environment characteristics, so that the target self-defined entry can be matched with the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string, and thus, the self-defined entry unmatched with the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string can be eliminated, so that the candidate positions occupied by the self-defined entry unmatched with the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string can be saved, the interference of the self-defined entry unmatched with the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string on the user input can be reduced, and the input experience of the user can be improved.

In an application example of the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that a user sets the following mapping from a character string to a custom entry by adding the custom entry: "nh" → "you good, the item is inexpensive and good, and the package is mailed! ", and assume that the custom entry" hello, the item is good, inexpensive, and is packaged by a package! "the corresponding input environment features include: the instant messaging APP can use the self-defined entry as a candidate item corresponding to the input string "nh" when the input environment characteristic corresponding to the input string "nh" is the instant messaging APP. In the embodiment of the present invention, the mapping relationship between the custom entry and the input environment features can exclude the custom entry that does not match the input environment features corresponding to the input string, for example, suppose that the custom entry "hello, the good and cheap goods, and package mail! "the corresponding input environmental characteristics do not include: and in the case of the document APP, the user-defined entry may not appear in the candidate item corresponding to the input string "nh" when the input environment characteristic corresponding to the input string "nh" is the document APP, so that the candidate position occupied by the user-defined entry not matching the input environment characteristic corresponding to the input string can be saved.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, one character string may correspond to one custom entry, where the custom entry may correspond to an input environment characteristic. Alternatively, a string may correspond to multiple custom terms, where different custom terms matching the string may correspond to different input environment characteristics, such as string "nh," which may correspond to "good, inexpensive, and package! "hello," kernel, "etc., where" hello, the item is good quality, inexpensive, and is packaged by a file! The corresponding input environment features are instant messaging APPs, the corresponding input environment features of the user's your' are mail APPs, and the corresponding input environment features of the kernel are document APPs and the like.

The processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the application environment shown in fig. 1, as shown in fig. 1, the client 100 and the server 200 are located in a wired or wireless network, and the client 100 and the server 200 perform data interaction through the wired or wireless network.

Optionally, the client 100 may run on a terminal, and the 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.

The keyboard symbol input mode refers to inputting through keys on a keyboard, the handwriting input mode refers to handwriting on a screen through a built-in touch pen, and the voice input mode refers to converting voice signals input by a user into texts.

For convenience of description, the embodiment of the present invention refers to the encoded character string input by the user in the above 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 input process of the embodiment of the invention is 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.

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 the embodiment of the invention, the input environment characteristics can be used for representing the environment information of the terminal when the user inputs the information. The input environment characteristics can reflect the input intention of the user to a certain extent, so that the relation is established between the input environment characteristics and the input intention of the user, the input intention of the user can be indirectly identified, and the input efficiency of the user is improved.

In practical applications, the input environment features may include various types of features. Optionally, the input environment feature may include: at least one of a temporal environment feature, a location environment feature, a climate environment feature, an application environment feature, and a page environment feature.

Therefore, the input environment characteristics of the embodiment of the invention can have real-time performance, and the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string can be acquired in real time in the input process.

For an input string, its reception time may be taken as a corresponding temporal environment characteristic.

Location information obtained according to an IP (Internet Protocol) address thereof, a GPS (Global Positioning System) of the terminal, or a mobile communication network may be used as a corresponding location environment characteristic.

The input method program as a hosted program can be hosted by any host program and can be invoked by the host program to realize input in the host program, for example, a user can type an input string in the host program and select a candidate item corresponding to the input string to be displayed on a screen. In the embodiment of the present invention, the application program environment characteristic corresponding to the input string may be information of a host program corresponding to the input method program.

Optionally, the application environment characteristic corresponding to the input string may be determined according to the identification characteristic of the current object being served by the input method program, for example, when the input method program is in operation, the GetModuleFilename finds a program path name "C: programfiless microsoft office 1winword.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the application environment features may include: an application identification and/or an application category. For example, "word" is an application identifier, "word" corresponds to an application category that is an office category, and so on. It is understood that one skilled in the art can classify the application programs into corresponding application program categories according to the actual application requirements, for example, examples of the application program categories may include but are not limited to: an instant messaging category, a document category, a search category, a web page category, a shopping category, a travel category, and the like.

The page environment features may be used to characterize the page environment provided by the application or website, and optionally, the page environment may include, but is not limited to: an instant messaging page environment, a document page environment, a mail page environment, a password entry page environment, a game page environment, a search page environment, a travel page environment, a shopping page environment, a social page environment, a movie page environment, a reading page environment, and the like.

Of course, the input environment features of the embodiment of the present invention may include other environment features, such as physical environment features of barometric pressure, altitude, temperature, humidity, etc., in addition to the time environment feature, the location environment feature, the application environment feature, and the page environment feature. Wherein, it is understood that the embodiment of the present invention does not impose limitation on the specific input environment features.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in the mapping relationship between the custom entry and the input environment feature, the input environment feature may be used to represent an input environment of an application program to which the custom entry is applicable, for example, where the input environment feature is taken as an application program environment feature, the custom entry is valid in the application program corresponding to the input environment feature in the mapping relationship, and the custom entry is invalid in the application program corresponding to the input environment feature that does not appear in the mapping relationship.

In practical application, a setting interface corresponding to the mapping relation between the self-defined entry and the input environment characteristics can be provided for a user. According to an embodiment, the setting interface may be provided during the adding process of the custom entry, for example, the adding interface of the custom entry may include: the input environment feature option can be used for indicating the input environment of an application program, for example, to which the custom entry is applicable. According to another embodiment, the setting interface may be provided after the custom entry is added, for example, the setting interface may include: and input environment characteristic options corresponding to the added self-defined entries need to be set. It can be understood that, a setting interface corresponding to the mapping relationship between the user-defined entry and the input environment feature may be determined by a person skilled in the art according to the actual application requirement, and the specific setting interface is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of description, in the embodiment of the present invention, the customized entry is stored by using a customized thesaurus, and the addition of the customized entry may be used to add the customized entry in the customized thesaurus, and optionally, the customized thesaurus may be used to record a mapping relationship between the character string and the customized entry.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the target self-defined entry is determined according to the mapping relation between the self-defined entry and the input environment characteristics, so that the target self-defined entry can be matched with the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string, and thus, the self-defined entry which is not matched with the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string can be eliminated, candidate positions occupied by the self-defined entry which is not matched with the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string can be saved, the interference of the self-defined entry which is not matched with the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string on the user input can be reduced, and the input experience of the user can be improved.

Those skilled in the art can determine a corresponding storage manner for the mapping relationship between the user-defined entry and the input environment feature according to the actual application requirement, for example, the mapping relationship between the user-defined entry and the input environment feature may be separately stored, for example, the mapping relationship between the character string, the user-defined entry, and the input environment feature may be stored, and the mapping relationship between the character string, the user-defined entry, and the input environment feature may include: and defining the mapping relation between the entries and the input environment characteristics.

According to the storage mode corresponding to the mapping relation between the user-defined entry and the input environment characteristics, the embodiment of the invention can provide the following technical scheme for determining the target user-defined entry matched with the input string and the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string according to the mapping relation between the user-defined entry and the input environment characteristics:

technical solution 1

In technical solution 1, the process of determining the target custom entry matched with the input string and the corresponding input environment feature in step 201 may include: determining target input environment characteristics corresponding to the self-defined entries matched with the input strings according to the mapping relation between the self-defined entries matched with the input strings and the input environment characteristics; and if the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string are matched with the target input environment characteristics, taking the input string matched with the input string as a target self-defined entry matched with the input string and the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string.

Wherein the determination of matching to the input string may be made using known techniques. For example, the user-defined entry matched with the input string may be determined according to a mapping relationship between the character string and the user-defined entry, and specifically, the mapping relationship between the character string and the user-defined entry may be searched according to the input string of the user to obtain the user-defined entry matched with the input string.

The process of determining the target input environment characteristics corresponding to the customized entry matched with the input string according to the mapping relationship between the customized entry matched with the input string and the input environment characteristics may specifically include: and matching the self-defined entry matched with the input string with the self-defined entry in the mapping relation between the self-defined entry and the input environment characteristics, and if the matching is successful, taking the input environment characteristics corresponding to the successfully matched self-defined entry as the target input environment characteristics corresponding to the self-defined entry matched with the input string.

After determining the target input environment characteristics corresponding to the custom entry matched with the input string, it may be determined whether the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string match the target input environment characteristics, and if so, the custom entry matched with the input string may be used as the target custom entry matched with the input string and the input environment characteristics corresponding thereto. It can be understood that, if the input environment feature corresponding to the input string does not match the target input environment feature, the first custom entry may be discarded, that is, the first custom entry is excluded from appearing in the candidate item corresponding to the input string.

Technical solution 2

In technical solution 2, the process of determining the target custom entry matched with the input string and the corresponding input environment feature in step 201 may include: according to the input string of the user and the corresponding input environment characteristics, the mapping relation among the character string, the user-defined entry and the input environment characteristics is searched, so that the target user-defined entry matched with the input string and the corresponding input environment characteristics is obtained. Specifically, the character string, the custom entry and the data record corresponding to the mapping relationship between the input environment features may be obtained, the input string of the user is matched with the character string in the data record, the input environment features corresponding to the input string are matched with the input environment features in the data record, and if both matching succeeds, the custom entry in the data record may be used as the target custom entry matched with the input string and the input environment features corresponding thereto. It can be understood that the embodiment of the present invention does not impose any limitation on the specific process of searching in the mapping relationship between the character string, the custom entry, and the input environment feature.

The process of determining the target self-defined vocabulary entry matched with the input string and the corresponding input environment feature is described in detail in the above technical scheme 1 and technical scheme 2, and it can be understood that a person skilled in the art can adopt any one of the technical scheme 1 and the technical scheme 2 according to the actual application requirement, or can also adopt other technical schemes to determine the target self-defined vocabulary entry matched with the input string and the corresponding input environment feature.

Step 203 may represent the target custom entry obtained in step 202 as a candidate corresponding to the input string. According to an embodiment, the target custom entry may be displayed in a preset candidate location, where the preset candidate location may be a candidate location specified by a user, for example, the adding interface of the foregoing custom entry may further include: the candidate position option can be used for representing the position of the self-defined entry in the candidate, and the candidate position option can be represented by numbers of 1, 2, 3 … and the like, wherein 1, 2 and 3 respectively represent the positions of one selection, two selection, three selection and the like.

In an application example of the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that a user sets the following mapping from a character string to a custom entry by adding the custom entry: "wdk" → "i am at the five crossing", and the location environment characteristics corresponding to the assumption that the custom entry "i am at the five crossing" include: in the five-crossing area, if the position environment characteristic corresponding to the input string "wdk" is the five-crossing area, the self-defined term "i am at the five-crossing" may be used as a candidate corresponding to the input string "wdk". The position environment characteristics corresponding to the self-defined entry 'i at the five road junctions' are assumed to be excluded: in the beijing area, when the location environment characteristics corresponding to the input string "wdk" are the beijing area, the huilongguan area, and the like, the custom entry may not appear in the candidate item corresponding to the input string "wdk", so that the candidate location occupied by the custom entry not matching the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string can be saved.

In an application example of the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that a user sets the following mapping from a character string to a custom entry by adding the custom entry: "cm" → "i am high xxxCM body weight 60Kg, asking for how large size to wear? "and the user-defined term" i height xxxCM weight 60Kg, how large size to ask for? "the corresponding page environment features include: in the shopping page environment, under the condition that the page environment characteristic corresponding to the input string "cm" is the shopping page environment, the self-defined entry "i height xxxCM weight 60Kg, how large size to ask for question? "is used as a candidate corresponding to the input string" cm ". Suppose a custom entry of' I height xxxCM 60Kg in weight, how big size to ask for? "the corresponding page environment feature does not include: in the document page environment, under the condition that the page environment characteristic corresponding to the input string 'cm' is the document page environment, the self-defined entry can not appear in the candidate item corresponding to the input string 'cm', so that the candidate position occupied by the self-defined entry which is not matched with the input environment characteristic corresponding to the input string can be saved.

To sum up, in the processing method of the embodiment of the present invention, the input environment characteristics in the mapping relationship between the customized entry and the input environment characteristics can be used to represent the input environment of the application program to which the customized entry is applicable, for example, that is, the customized entry is valid in the application program corresponding to the input environment characteristics in the mapping relationship, and the customized entry is invalid in the application program corresponding to the input environment characteristics that do not appear in the mapping relationship; according to the embodiment of the invention, the target self-defined entry is determined according to the mapping relation between the self-defined entry and the input environment characteristics, so that the target self-defined entry can be matched with the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string, and thus, the self-defined entry which is not matched with the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string can be eliminated, candidate positions occupied by the self-defined entry which is not matched with the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string can be saved, the interference of the self-defined entry which is not matched with the input environment characteristics corresponding to the input string on the user input can be reduced, and the input experience of the user can be improved.

Method embodiment two

Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a processing method according to the present invention is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:

step 301, determining the screen-up probability of a user for a user-defined entry under the condition of the input environment characteristics according to input behavior data corresponding to the input environment characteristics;

step 302, determining the updating prompt information corresponding to the self-defined entry according to the screen-up probability, and outputting the updating prompt information.

The embodiment of the invention can determine and output the updating prompt information corresponding to the self-defined entry according to the screen-on probability of the user to the self-defined entry under the condition of the input environmental characteristics, and the updating prompt information can lead the user to reasonably update the added self-defined entry, thereby improving the utilization rate of the self-defined entry.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the update prompting message may include: deleting information of the self-defined entry so that the user can delete the self-defined entry with low on-screen probability in the self-defined word bank. For example, if a user adds a certain custom entry and sets an input environment characteristic corresponding to the custom entry, but the user hardly uses the custom entry, so that the probability of being on the screen of the custom entry is very small (for example, less than 1%), the user may be prompted to delete the custom entry.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the update prompting message may include: and modifying information of the character strings corresponding to the self-defined entry is defined so as to reduce the interference of the self-defined entry to other entries under the condition of moderate on-screen probability. For example, if a user adds a certain custom entry, sets an input environment characteristic corresponding to the custom entry, and uses the custom entry, but the user hardly uses the custom entry and uses the custom phrase, but uses another candidate item more frequently than the custom entry, the user may be prompted to modify a character string corresponding to the custom entry. For example, assume that the user sets the following mapping of a string to a custom entry by adding the custom entry: "nh" → "you good, the item is inexpensive and good, and the package is mailed! ", and assume that the custom entry" hello, the item is good, inexpensive, and is packaged by a package! "the corresponding input environment features include: and the instant messaging APP assumes that the user inputs ' good through ' nh ' under the condition of the instant messaging APP, the commodity is cheap and is packaged and posted! However, other candidates such as "hello" and "hello" are also input through "nh", so that the user can be prompted to modify the character string corresponding to the custom entry (for example, to modify to "nhsp", etc.), and the interference of the custom entry to other entries can be reduced.

In practical applications, the

steps

301 and 302 may be performed according to a preset period, which may be determined by those skilled in the art according to practical application requirements, for example, the preset period may be 24 hours, 48 hours, and the like.

The input behavior data corresponding to the input environmental characteristics can be used for characterizing the input behavior data generated by the user under the condition of the input environmental characteristics. In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the input behavior data corresponding to the input environment feature may include: and the user inputs the information of the user-defined entry on the screen under the condition of the input environment characteristics and/or the information of the character string corresponding to the user-defined entry under the condition of the input environment characteristics. For example, the user inputs information about the custom entry and/or the character string corresponding to the custom entry in a certain APP or a certain application program category.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the step 301 of determining the on-screen probability of the user for the custom entry under the condition of the input environment feature may include: and obtaining the screen-on probability of the user for the user-defined entry under the condition of the input environment characteristics according to the screen-on times a of the user for the character string corresponding to the user-defined entry under the condition of the input environment characteristics and the input times b of the user for the user-defined entry and the character string corresponding to the user-defined entry under the condition of the input environment characteristics, wherein a and b are integers exceeding 0.

For languages such as Chinese and Japanese, one input string usually corresponds to multiple candidate items, and in the case that a user inputs a character string corresponding to a custom entry, the required candidate items can be displayed on the screen; therefore, in practical applications, a is usually greater than b or a is equal to b. In the embodiment of the present invention, the screen-up probability may be obtained according to a and b, and optionally, the screen-up probability may be a ratio of b to a, and of course, a person skilled in the art may determine the screen-up probability in a statistical manner.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the on-screen probability does not exceed a first threshold, and the updating the prompt information may include: deleting information of the self-defined entry; and/or

The screen-up probability exceeds a first threshold and does not exceed a second threshold, and the updating the prompt information may include: and self-defining the modification information of the character strings corresponding to the entries.

Those skilled in the art can determine the first threshold and the second threshold according to the practical application requirement, wherein the range of the first threshold and the second threshold may be [0,1], alternatively, the range of the first threshold and the second threshold may be [0,0.5], for example, the first threshold is 0.1, the second threshold is 0.3, etc., and it is understood that the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific first threshold and the second threshold.

In practical application, the update prompt information may be output in a pop-up window mode, a voice prompt mode, or the like.

In summary, the processing method of the embodiment of the present invention can determine and output the update prompt information corresponding to the custom entry according to the on-screen probability of the user for the custom entry under the condition of the input environment characteristic, and the update prompt information can enable the user to reasonably update the added custom entry, thereby improving the utilization rate of the custom entry.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the update prompting message may include: deleting information of the self-defined entry so that the user can delete the self-defined entry with lower probability of being displayed on a screen. For example, if a user adds a certain custom entry and sets an input environment characteristic corresponding to the custom entry, but the user hardly uses the custom entry, so that the probability of being on the screen of the custom entry is very small (for example, less than 1%), the user may be prompted to delete the custom entry.

Method embodiment three

Referring to fig. 4, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a processing method according to the present invention is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:

step 401, determining a corresponding requirement entry of a user under the condition of the input environment characteristics according to input behavior data corresponding to the input environment characteristics;

and 402, outputting adding prompt information corresponding to the required entry, so that a user sets the required entry as a self-defined entry through the adding prompt information.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the corresponding requirement entry of the user under the condition of the input environment characteristics can be determined according to the input behavior data corresponding to the input environment characteristics, so that the mining of the requirement entry can be realized, and the intelligence of an input method program can be improved.

In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the input behavior data may include: and the user inputs the entries with the length exceeding the length threshold under the condition of the input environment characteristics. The length threshold may be determined by those skilled in the art according to the actual application requirements, for example, the length threshold may exceed 5, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific length threshold.

In another optional embodiment of the present invention, the step 401 of determining the requirement entry corresponding to the user under the condition of the input environment characteristic may include: determining the screen-on times of entries with the length exceeding a length threshold according to input behavior data corresponding to the input environment characteristics; and judging whether the entries with the lengths exceeding the length threshold are required entries or not according to the screen-on times of the entries with the lengths exceeding the length threshold. For example, when the number of times of screen-on of the entry whose length exceeds the length threshold exceeds the number threshold, the corresponding entry is determined as the required entry, and a person skilled in the art may determine the number threshold according to the actual application requirement, for example, when the preset period corresponding to step 401 is 24 hours, the number threshold exceeds 5, and the like. It can be understood that the above process of determining the required entry according to the number of times of screen display of the entry whose length exceeds the length threshold is only an example, and actually, a person skilled in the art may also determine the required entry according to the number of times of screen display of the entry whose length exceeds the length threshold in unit time or the number of times of screen display in an adjacent preset period.

In one example of the invention, assuming that a user often inputs a certain relatively long term in an APP (e.g., "welcome, i are intelligent assistants, and what can be used for your will"), the user may be prompted to use the term as a custom term under the APP to improve the input efficiency for the term.

In practical application, the adding prompt information may be output in a pop-up window mode, a voice prompt mode, or the like.

In summary, the processing method of the embodiment of the present invention can determine the required entry corresponding to the user under the condition of the input environment characteristic according to the input behavior data corresponding to the input environment characteristic, thereby mining the required entry and improving the intelligence of the input method program.

It should be noted that, for simplicity of description, the method embodiments are described as a series of motion combinations, but those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the described motion sequences, because some steps may be performed in other sequences or simultaneously according to the present invention. Further, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the embodiments described in the specification are presently preferred and that no moving act is required as an embodiment of the invention.
