Detailed Description

In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood, 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 only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. 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.

The inventor of the present application finds, through research, that, in the prior art, when a user uses an intelligent device, if the user needs to jump from one application program to another application program, the user needs to exit the currently used application program, then find an icon of the application program that the user wants to use, and click the icon to enter the application program, so that the user can use the application program. This series of operations is cumbersome for the user, and causes inconvenience to the user.

In order to solve the above problem, in the embodiment of the present invention, considering that in an actual application, input content of a user before application jump is performed may express an intention of an application that the user wants to jump to, the application jump intention of the user may be identified by using content currently input by the user, an application that meets the application jump intention of the user is selected, and a shortcut of the selected application is presented. For example, the user inputs "i go to download and see" in the process of chatting with friends in the instant messaging software, and the input content "i go to download and see" can express the intention of wanting to jump to the application program of the application program download class. The embodiment of the invention can identify that the application program which the user wants to jump to is the application program of the application program downloading class according to the input content of the user, i.e. I go to download and see, and select the application program of the application program downloading class or the application programs of some application program downloading classes and display the shortcut of the selected application program, so that the user can click the shortcut of the application program which the user wants to jump to without exiting the operation interface of the instant messaging software, thereby realizing the jump of the application program.

For example, embodiments of the present invention may be applied to the scenario shown in FIG. 1. In this scenario, the terminal 101 and the server 103 may interact with each other via the network 102.

As an example, in the above-described scenario, first, the terminal 101 may acquire the content currently input by the user. Then, the terminal 101 can upload the acquired target content to the server 103 via the network 102. The server 103 may determine the program type corresponding to the target content through a pre-established correspondence between the user input content and the program type. Then, the server 103 selects a target application program from the application programs in the target type, and instructs the terminal 101 to present the shortcut of the target application program.

As another example, in the above-described scenario, first, the terminal 101 may acquire the content currently input by the user. Then, the terminal 101 determines, as the target type, the program type corresponding to the acquired target content, based on the correspondence relationship between the user input content and the program type established in advance. The correspondence between the pre-established user input content and the program type may be transmitted by the server 103 to the terminal 101 through the network 102 in advance. After determining the target type, the terminal 101 may select a target application from the applications in the target type, and present a shortcut of the target application.

As yet another example, in the scenario described above, first, the terminal 101 may obtain the content currently input by the user on the terminal. Then, the terminal 101 uploads the acquired target content to the server 103 via the network 102. The server 103 may determine a program type corresponding to the target content as the target program through a pre-established correspondence between the user input content and the program type. The server may then send the target type to the terminal 101 via the network 102. The terminal 101 selects a target application program from the application programs under the target program, and presents a shortcut of the target application program.

It is to be appreciated that in the application scenarios described above, while the actions of the embodiments of the invention are described as being performed in part by the terminal 101 and in part by the server. These actions may be performed entirely by the terminal 101 or entirely by the server 103 or in some other combination by the user terminal 101 and the server 103. The invention is not limited in its implementation to the details of execution, provided that the acts disclosed in the embodiments of the invention are performed.

It should be noted that the above application scenarios are only presented to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited in any way in this respect. Rather, embodiments of the present invention may be applied to any scenario where applicable.

Various non-limiting embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Exemplary method

Referring to FIG. 2, a flowchart illustrating a method for presenting an application shortcut in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, the method may include, for example, the steps of:

s201: and acquiring the target content currently input by the user.

In a specific implementation, when a user uses the terminal to perform an input operation currently, the terminal may acquire a content currently input by the user on the terminal itself as a target content. For example, in order to determine an application to which the user wants to jump through the input content of the user, the terminal may acquire, as the target content, the content currently input by the user in the currently used application through the input method system. Specifically, when the user triggers an input operation in the currently used application program, the terminal may invoke the input method system, so that the user may use the input method system to input content in the currently used application program, and thus the input method system may acquire the target content currently input by the user in the currently used application program.

As an example of obtaining the content currently input by the user on the terminal through the input method system, the target content input by the user on the terminal may be the content input by the user in the chat process using a certain APP. For example, the target content may be content that the user enters during a chat using WeChat. As another example, the target content may be content that the user enters during a chat using easy trust.

As another example of obtaining the content currently input by the user on the terminal through the input method system, the target content input by the user on the terminal may also be the content input by the user when searching by using a certain APP. For example, the target content may be content that is input by a user when searching using a browser.

In addition, the target content input by the user on the terminal may also be content input in other scenes using an input method.

S202: and determining a program type corresponding to the target content as a target type according to a pre-established corresponding relationship between the user input content and the program type.

It will be appreciated that the user input content may to some extent be indicative of the intent of the type of application to which the user wishes to jump. For example, if the user inputs "i want to watch a movie", the user is likely to have an intention to jump to an application program that can implement a video playing function. As another example, if the user entered "I want to download a view," the user is likely to have an intent to jump to an application that can implement the application download functionality.

In practical applications, the types and the number of the applications are many, and different applications can realize different functions. Among these applications, some applications can implement a specific function, and these applications capable of implementing a specific function can be regarded as a type of application, that is, applications having the same specific function have the same program type. For example, applications such as Tencent video, Youkou video, Aiqiyi video and the like can all realize a video playing function, and can be regarded as applications of a "video playing class", that is, the types of the applications are all "video playing classes". For example, applications such as internet music, dog music, and hundred music can all realize a music playing function, and these applications can be regarded as applications of "music playing class", that is, the types of the applications are all "music playing class".

It should be noted that, in the correspondence relationship established in advance, the user input content and the program type may be correspondingly recorded. For example, the correspondence relationship records the user input content "i want to watch a movie" and the program type "video-class application" at the same time. For example, the correspondence relationship records both the user input content "i want to listen to music" and the program type "music playing class application".

It should be noted that, in order to provide shortcuts of various application programs for different contents currently input by the user, correspondence relationships between a plurality of user input contents and program types may be established in advance. For example, the pre-established correspondence may include a correspondence between a user input content "i want to watch a movie" and a program type "video type application", may also include a correspondence between a user input content "i go to download and watch" and a program type "download type application", may also include a correspondence between a user input content "i go to listen to music" and a program type "music playing type application", and the like.

After the corresponding relationship is established, if a shortcut of an application program needs to be recommended for a user based on target content currently input by the user, a program type corresponding to the target content currently input by the user may be determined as a target type by using the established corresponding relationship between the user input content and the program type. Specifically, the determining manner of the target type may include, for example: according to the target content currently input by the user, the target corresponding relation recording the user input content matched with the target content is found in the pre-established corresponding relation, and the program type recorded in the target corresponding relation is determined as the target type.

For example, assuming that the user input content is "i want to watch a movie", a correspondence recorded with "i want to watch a movie" may be found from correspondence between a plurality of user input contents and program types established in advance according to "i want to watch a movie", and then "video class application" recorded in the correspondence may be taken as a target type.

In this embodiment, the correspondence between the user-input content and the program type is established in advance before the correspondence is used to determine the application to present the shortcut for the target content. The establishment of the corresponding relationship may be implemented in various ways.

As an example, to implement the pre-establishment of the corresponding relationship, before S202, the method may further include: and establishing the corresponding relation based on the historical user input content before the jump in the historical application program jump behavior and the historical program type of the historical application program after the jump.

It should be noted that, in order to accurately present the shortcut of the application program that the user may jump to on the terminal, the establishment of the correspondence relationship is implemented by counting a plurality of samples. Historical user input content before a user jumps in application jump behavior and a historical program type to which a jumped historical application belongs can be used as a sample. It is understood that a single statistical sample is not representative. For example, in a certain statistical sample, a user jumps to the application program of "internet cloud music" after inputting "i'm have seen a video", but obviously, the user intention embodied by the input content of the user "i'm have seen a video" is to jump to a video-type application, rather than a music-type application such as "internet cloud music", and thus, it is clear that the correspondence relationship between "i'm have seen a video" and "internet cloud music" does not conform to the actual user intention. In order to avoid that a few statistical samples which do not accord with the user intention are used for establishing the corresponding relation, the historical user input content before jumping and the historical program type to which the historical application program after jumping belong in the jumping behaviors of a plurality of historical application programs can be counted when establishing the corresponding relation samples.

In a first possible implementation manner, when the corresponding relationship between the user input content and the program type is established based on a plurality of historical application program skipping behaviors, if the historical user input content before skipping in the plurality of historical application program skipping behaviors is the same, the occurrence frequency of the historical program type to which the historical application program after skipping belongs in the plurality of historical application program skipping behaviors can be counted, and the corresponding relationship is established based on the historical program type with the largest occurrence frequency and the historical user input content. That is, what is recorded in the correspondence is the history program type with the largest occurrence number and the history user input content.

It will be appreciated that the user's historical application jump behavior may generally manifest the user's application jump intent to some extent. However, there are a few historical application jump behaviors that do not correctly represent the user's application jump intent. For example, after a user inputs "i see a video", the user jumps to a "music playing class" application program for some reason, and jumps to a "train ticket purchasing class" application program for some reason, so that the historical application program jumping behaviors cannot correctly represent the application program jumping intentions of most users. In practical applications, among a large number of historical application jump behaviors, the historical application jump behaviors that cannot correctly represent the user application jump intention are few. In most historical application jump behaviors, the application jump intentions presented by the historical user input contents before jumping are consistent with the application jump intentions after jumping. For example, in most historical application jump behaviors, the user jumps to the "video play class" application after entering "i'm's view of video". And in only a few historical application program jumping behaviors, the user jumps to application programs except for the video playing class such as the music playing class, the online shopping class and the like after inputting the video watched by the user.

In order to enable the established corresponding relationship to accurately reflect the relationship between the user input content and the user application program skipping intention, in the first possible implementation manner mentioned above, the corresponding relationship may be established based on the historical user input content and the historical program type with the largest occurrence number. For example, the number of jumps to jump the application to the "video playback class" application after "i have seen video" is input in the historical application jump behavior is the largest, and the correspondence between the "video playback class" and "i have seen video" may be established. The establishment mode can effectively shield invalid data in the historical behavior data, so that the established corresponding relation can be used for predicting the application program which the user wants to jump to based on the input content of the user more accurately.

In a second possible implementation manner, when the corresponding relationship between the historical user input content and the historical program type is established based on the multiple historical application program skipping behaviors, if the skipped historical application programs in the multiple historical application program skipping behaviors belong to the same historical program type, the historical user input content before skipping with the largest occurrence number in the multiple historical application program skipping behaviors can be counted, and the corresponding relationship is established based on the historical user input content before skipping with the largest occurrence number and the historical program type, that is, the historical user input content before skipping with the largest occurrence number and the historical program type are recorded in the corresponding relationship.

It will be appreciated that the user input is related to the language style of the user, and that the input may be presented differently for different users for the same application jump intent. For example, when a plurality of users express the intention to watch a video, some users adopt the input content of "i watch the video"; some users adopt input content of 'watching video and cheering'; still another input that the user takes is "i want to see the video". Thus, a situation may arise in which: in the jumping behaviors of a plurality of historical applications, the historical user input content before jumping is different, but the historical applications after jumping belong to the same program type. In this case, in consideration that a few historical application jump behaviors cannot correctly reflect the application jump intention of the user, in order to enable the established correspondence to accurately reflect the relationship between the user input content and the application jump intention of the user, in the second possible implementation manner mentioned above, the correspondence may be established based on the historical user input content before the jump with the largest occurrence number and the historical user input content and the historical program type. For example, in the historical jumping behavior, the historical user input content with the largest input times before the application program jumps to the video playing class is "i see video", and the corresponding relationship between "i see video" and the video playing class "may be established.

On the basis of the second possible implementation manner, in order to enable the established correspondence between the historical input content and the program type to be more widely applicable to the variable input content of the user, in order to allow the established correspondence between the historical input content and the program type to express the same semantic meaning by using the incompletely same content when the user inputs the content, when the correspondence is established, the feature content may be extracted from the historical user input content and the correspondence between the feature content and the program type is established on the basis of the feature content, and then the feature content and the historical program type are correspondingly recorded in the established correspondence, that is, the user input content recorded in the correspondence is the feature content extracted from the historical user input content, and the balance virtual type recorded in the correspondence is the historical program type. For example, "see video" that "i have seen video" in the user input content is extracted as the feature content, and the established correspondence includes "see video" and "video playback class".

Further, for the correspondence relation between the feature content and the program type, when it is necessary to recommend a shortcut of an application program to a user based on target content currently input by the user, if the target content includes the feature content recorded in the correspondence relation, the program type recorded in the correspondence relation may be determined as the target type. Specifically, the determining manner of the target type may include, for example: determining a target corresponding relation matched with the target content in a pre-established corresponding relation, wherein the characteristic content recorded in the target corresponding relation is contained in the target content; and determining the program type recorded in the target corresponding relation as the target type.

For example: the user inputs "i want to watch a movie now" and "want to watch a movie" and "video applications" are recorded in the correspondence, and the "i want to watch a movie" input by the user includes "want to watch a movie" recorded in the correspondence, and the "video applications" recorded in the correspondence may be determined as the target type.

As another example, to implement the pre-establishment of the corresponding relationship, before S202, the method may further include: and responding to the editing operation of the corresponding relation, and establishing the corresponding relation based on the content and the program type which are correspondingly input under the editing operation.

It is understood that some content that may be input by the user and that may express the application that the user wants to jump to may be known to the developer, and for this case, the corresponding relationship may not be established based on the historical behavior data of the user, and the developer may directly input the content and the corresponding program type through the editing operation to establish the corresponding relationship. For example, if the developer knows that the user wants to jump to the application of "train ticket purchase class" in the case where the user inputs "i want to buy a train ticket", the developer may directly input "i want to buy a train ticket" and "train ticket purchase class" through an editing operation to trigger establishment of a correspondence between "i want to buy a train ticket" and "train ticket purchase class". As yet another example, in order to achieve the pre-establishment of the corresponding relationship, the corresponding relationship may also be established through tf-idf algorithm before S202.

For example, assuming that a class of application programs is regarded as a document, the content input by all users before jumping to the class of application programs in the historical jumping behavior is regarded as a word, for an article consisting of the words, the tf-idf value of each word is calculated by using a tf-idf algorithm, the words are sorted according to tf-idf, and the user input content represented by the word with the high tf-idf value can better express the intention of the user needing to jump to the class of application programs, so that the user input content represented by the word with the high tf-idf value can be selected to establish a corresponding relation with the program type of the class of application programs.

For example, if an application program of "video play class" is regarded as a document, input content "i go to listen to music" before a user jumps to "video play class" in one history jump behavior is regarded as a word, input content "i go to video" before a user jumps to "video play class" in another history jump behavior is regarded as another word, and for content input before a user jumps to "video play class" in all history jump behaviors, words representing the input content are combined into an article, and then the article includes the word "i go to music" and the word "i go to video". The tf-idf value of each word in the article is calculated by the tf-idf algorithm. If the tf-idf value of the word "i go to watch the video" is higher than the word "i go to listen to music", the corresponding relationship between "i go to watch the video" and "video playing class" can be established, and the corresponding relationship between "i go to listen to music" and "video playing class" does not need to be established.

In some embodiments, in the pre-established correspondence, in addition to the user input content and the program type, the specific application program of the program type may be correspondingly recorded, that is, the user input content, the program type and the specific application program of the program type may also be correspondingly recorded in the pre-established correspondence, so that the user may more conveniently select the application program that the user wants to jump to.

As an example, for a specific application program recorded in the correspondence relationship according to the historical application program jump behavior, the historical application program with the largest occurrence number in the historical application program jump behavior under the historical program type recorded in the correspondence relationship may be used. For this reason, for a plurality of historical application program jumping behaviors of which the jumped historical application programs belong to the same historical program type, in addition to counting the historical user input content with the largest occurrence frequency in the plurality of historical application program jumping behaviors, the historical application program with the largest occurrence frequency in the historical program type in the plurality of historical application program jumping behaviors can be further counted, and the historical application program with the largest occurrence frequency can be recorded into the corresponding relation as the specific application program. For example, the application programs of the "video playing class" include "Tencent video", "Youkai video", "Aifangyi video", and the like. The number of jumps to "Tencent videos" is at its maximum after the user has expressed an intent to jump to this type of application. For this case, "Tencent video" may be added as a specific application to the corresponding correspondence. For example, "Tencent video" is added to the correspondence relationship that "I see video" and "video playback class" is recorded.

S203: and selecting a target application program from the application programs in the target type, and presenting the shortcut of the target application program.

In a specific implementation, after the target type is determined in S202, one or more applications that can be used for presenting the shortcut can be selected from the applications in the target type, and the selected applications serve as the target application, so that the shortcut of the target application is presented, and thus the user can conveniently trigger the target application through the shortcut.

As an example, assuming that a user uses a terminal to perform application jump, after determining a target type, the application installed on the terminal may be acquired, then the application under the target type is found from the application installed on the terminal, and then the target application is selected from the found application, so that the terminal may present a shortcut to the target application.

It should be noted that, if the pre-established correspondence specifically and correspondingly records the user input content, the program type, and the specific application under the program type, the target application for presenting the shortcut may include the specific application recorded in the target correspondence. For example, if the user inputs "i go to watch video" and a correspondence relationship in which "i go to watch video", "video-type application", and "flight video" are recorded is established in advance, the target type may be "video-type application". If the application program installed on the terminal comprises the "Tencent video", the shortcut of the "Tencent video" can be presented on the terminal, namely, the target application program presenting the shortcut on the terminal comprises the specific application program "Tencent video" recorded in the target corresponding relation.

It will be appreciated that there may typically be multiple applications under the target type that may be used to present shortcuts, in which case there may also be multiple corresponding target applications. For example, if the target type is "video-class application", the video-class applications installed on the terminal include "Tencent video", "Youkou video", and "Aichi art video", and the target application program may include "Tencent video", "Youkou video", and "Aichi art video". For the case that there are multiple applications available for presenting shortcuts in the target type, the present embodiment provides various embodiments for selecting the target application.

In one possible implementation, shortcuts for applications in the target type are all presented on the terminal, i.e. all applications in the target type are target applications. For example, the target type is "video application", the video applications installed on the terminal include "Tengchong video", "Youkou video" and "Aiqiyi video", and the terminal can present shortcuts of "Tengchong video", "Youkou video" and "Aiqiyi video" so that the user can select and trigger the application program which is wanted to be used.

In another possible implementation manner, in a case where a specific application is recorded in a target correspondence, if the target application includes a plurality of applications, the specific applications recorded in the target correspondence are preferentially arranged in the ranking of the target applications, so that when the shortcut of the target application is presented according to the ranking of the target applications, the shortcut of the specific application recorded in the target correspondence is preferentially presented. For example, the target application includes "Tengchong video", "Youkou video" and "Aiqiyi video", and if the specific application recorded in the target correspondence is "Tengchong video", the shortcut of "Tengchong video" is preferentially presented.

In this embodiment, for displaying the shortcut of the application program recorded in the correspondence in priority, a plurality of implementation manners are provided.

In a first possible implementation manner, only shortcuts of specific applications recorded in the pre-established correspondence may be displayed, i.e. the target application only includes the specific applications recorded in the correspondence. It can be understood that the specific application program recorded in the pre-established correspondence may express the intention of most users to perform application program jumping, and displaying the shortcut of the specific application program recorded in the correspondence for the users may save time for most users to find the application program desired to be used among the plurality of application programs. For example, the records in the pre-established correspondence that match the target content include information of "i want to watch a movie", "video-like application", and "Tencent video". The video applications installed on the terminal comprise a Tengchong video, a Youkou video and an Aiqiyi video, and then the shortcut of the Tengchong video can be displayed on the terminal. It will be appreciated that the application that the user actually wants to use may be different from the application corresponding to the shortcut displayed on the terminal, depending on the user's preference and usage habit. For example, after the user inputs "i want to watch the video", he may want to jump to the "love art video" application to watch the video, and a shortcut of "vacation video" is displayed on the terminal. For this case, a second possible implementation may be employed to display the shortcut of the application. A second possible implementation is: and displaying the shortcuts of the application programs recorded in the corresponding relation, waiting for a certain time, and displaying the shortcuts of other application programs which belong to the target type and are installed on the terminal if the user does not click the shortcuts of the application programs to jump to the application programs. For example, a shortcut of "Tencent video" is displayed first, a certain time (for example, 10s) is waited for, and if the user does not click the shortcut to jump the application, shortcuts of other video playing application programs installed on the terminal are displayed.

A third possible implementation is: and displaying shortcuts of all the application programs which are installed on the terminal and correspond to the target types, and distinguishing the application programs recorded in the pre-established corresponding relation from other application programs in a display mode. For example, shortcuts of "Tengchi video", "Youkou video" and "Aiqiyi video" are displayed at the same time, and the "Tengchi video", which is a specific application program recorded in the correspondence relationship established in advance, can be highlighted by enlarging the size of an icon, and the like. In this case, the user can both save the time for application search and autonomously select an application desired to be used.

In addition, if the terminal device does not have the application program in the target type, prompt information can be displayed on the terminal to prompt that the target application program is not installed on the terminal, and further, some operations which may be executed can be recommended for the user. For example, the target type is "video application", and no video application is installed on the terminal, and then the prompt message "no software capable of playing video is found" may be presented on the terminal device. In addition, a prompt message "whether the video of the flight news needs to be downloaded? ". And determining whether to provide the shortcut of the related application for the terminal according to the response operation fed back by the user. For example, a user is directed to "need to download Tencent video? The "response made operation is" yes ", then the application of" Tengchin video "is downloaded, installed on the terminal and presents a shortcut of" Tengchin video "after the installation is completed. If the response operation by the user is "no", it is left on the current interface.

It should be noted that the pre-established correspondence between the user input content and the program type may be updated. That is, after acquiring the current input content of the user, on the one hand, a shortcut to an application that the user may want to jump to may be displayed on the terminal according to the current input content of the user. On the other hand, in the case where application jumping is performed after the user inputs the content, the user's currently input content and the application type of jumping may be recorded. And performing statistical analysis by using the recorded current input content of the user and the types of the jumped application programs, and updating the corresponding relation between the input content of the user and the types of the programs at proper time so as to better provide shortcut recommendation service for the user.

In the embodiment of the invention, the type of the program which the user wants to jump to is identified by utilizing the pre-established corresponding relation between the user input content and the program type according to the content currently input by the user on the terminal, and the application program of the corresponding type is selected from the application programs installed on the terminal, so that the shortcut presentation of the selected application program is presented on the terminal. Therefore, the user can realize the jump of the application program by directly clicking the presented shortcut without exiting the current application program, so that the jump between the application programs is more convenient and faster, and the operation efficiency of the user is improved.

A specific scenario is taken as an example below to introduce a method for presenting application shortcuts. In this particular scenario, the user is chatting with a friend using WeChat. The user inputs the content "ready to listen to music" during the chat. The terminal used by the user is provided with a music playing application program, namely 'internet music cloud'. The record of the correspondence between the current input content of the user and the application program type after the jump corresponding to the content records the 'ready music listening', 'music playing class' and 'internet music easy to be in the cloud'.

Referring to FIG. 3, a flowchart illustrating a method for presenting an application shortcut in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The method may comprise the steps of:

s301: the user inputs the content "ready to listen to music".

S302: the terminal acquires the target content "ready to listen to music" currently input by the user.

S303: and the terminal sends the target content 'ready to listen to music' to the server through the network.

S304: and the server determines a program type ' music playing class ' corresponding to the target content ' ready to listen to music ' as a target type according to the recorded corresponding relation between ' ready to listen to music ', ' music playing class ' and ' internet music in cloud.

S305: the server sends the target type music playing class to the terminal through the network.

S306: the terminal selects a target application program 'internet music cloud' belonging to a 'music playing class' from the installed application programs of the terminal, and presents a shortcut of the 'internet music cloud' application program.

S307: and clicking the shortcut of the 'internet cloud music' by the user, and jumping to the 'internet cloud music' application program.

S308: and the terminal records the content 'ready to listen to music' input by the user and the application program 'internet-accessible cloud music' after the user jumps, and sends the content to the server so as to facilitate the server to update the corresponding relation.

It should be noted that, in order to better recommend a shortcut to an application program that the user may want to jump to for the user according to the input content of the user, the pre-established correspondence between the user input content and the program type may be updated. That is, when the user performs application program jump after inputting the content, the current input content of the user and the application program after the jump may be recorded, the current input content of the user and the application program after the jump may be used as historical behavior data, the historical behavior data may be used to establish the corresponding relationship between the user input content and the program type, and the corresponding relationship between the user input content and the program type may be updated at appropriate time. In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal identifies the program type to which the user wants to jump according to the content currently input by the user by utilizing the pre-established corresponding relation between the user input content and the program type, and selects the application program of the corresponding type from the installed application programs, thereby presenting the shortcut of the selected application program on the terminal. Through the embodiment, the user can realize the jump of the application program by directly clicking the presented shortcut without exiting the current application program, so that the jump between the application programs is more convenient and faster, and the operation efficiency of the user is improved.
