The following describes the technical solutions of the present disclosure and how to solve the above technical problems in specific embodiments. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In one embodiment, a search method is provided, as shown in fig. 1, the method comprising:

step S101, obtaining a search request; the search request comprises a first search keyword in a first language;

the method and the device can be applied to video searching, in particular to video searching based on the languages. The so-called idioms are foreign languages such as german, italian, swedish, and czech, which are used in a few countries, as the name implies, in a wide variety of languages relative to the application.

In practical application, a user can install an application program for playing a video in a terminal, a search bar can be provided in a display interface of the application program, the user can input a search keyword of a first language in the search bar, the search keyword can be a word or a plurality of words, then when the user clicks a button for searching such as "confirm", "search", and the like, a search instruction based on the search keyword is triggered, the terminal generates a search request based on the search keyword of the current language after receiving the search instruction, and then sends the search request to a server.

Step S102, searching based on a first search keyword to obtain a search result list; the search result list comprises at least one of a first search result obtained according to the first search keyword and a second search result obtained according to the second search keyword, and the second search keyword is of a second language and corresponds to the first search keyword;

after receiving the search request, the server extracts a first search keyword in a first language from the search request, and then searches based on the first search keyword to obtain a corresponding search result list. The search result list comprises at least one of a first search result obtained according to the first search keyword and a second search result obtained according to the second search keyword, and the second search keyword is in a second language and corresponds to the first search keyword; the correspondence between the second search keyword and the first search keyword can be related, semantically identical, semantically similar, and the like.

That is, only the first search result obtained according to the first search keyword, only the second search result obtained according to the second search keyword, or both of them may be included in the search result list. When the first search result is not obtained according to the first search keyword, that is, when the first search result obtained according to the first search keyword is 0, only the second search result obtained according to the second search keyword may be in the search result list.

And step S103, displaying the search result list.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, a search request is obtained first; the search request comprises a first search keyword of a first language, and then a search result list is obtained based on the first search keyword; the search result list comprises at least one of a first search result obtained according to the first search keyword and a second search result obtained according to the second search keyword, and the second search keyword is of a second language and corresponds to the first search keyword; and displaying the search result list. Thus, when the search result obtained by the search based on the first search keyword of the first language is less, the second search keyword with the same semantic meaning as the first search keyword can be obtained, and the search is carried out based on the second search keyword to obtain the search result containing the second search keyword, because the second search keyword is a language with wider universality, the search based on the second search keyword can obtain a great number of search results containing the second search keyword, so that when the search result obtained by the search based on the first search keyword is less, a great number of search results can still be finally obtained by the search, the user can be ensured to obtain enough search results, the search efficiency is improved, meanwhile, the processes of obtaining the second search keyword and the search result based on the second search keyword are not sensible to the user, and the user does not need to participate in the operation, thereby improving the user experience.

In another embodiment, a detailed description of a search method as shown in fig. 1 is continued.

in particular, the present disclosure may be applied in video searching, especially in whisper-based video searching. The so-called idioms are foreign languages such as german, italian, swedish, and czech, which are used in a few countries, as the name implies, in a wide variety of languages relative to the application. In these countries using the languages, when the user performs a video search using the search keyword of the languages, there may be a case where there are few or no search results.

In practical applications, a user may install an application program for playing a video in a terminal, and a search bar may be provided in a presentation interface of the application program, and the user may input a search keyword in a first language in the search bar, where the search keyword may be a word or multiple words, for example, "crayon novei" (a word) and "meat-cooking practice" (two words) may both be the search keyword. And then, when the user clicks buttons for searching, such as 'confirm', 'search', and the like, a search instruction based on the search keyword is triggered, the terminal generates a search request based on the search keyword of the current language after receiving the search instruction, and then sends the search request to the server.

Wherein, this terminal station can have following characteristics:

(1) on a hardware architecture, a device has a central processing unit, a memory, an input unit and an output unit, that is, the device is often a microcomputer device having a communication function. In addition, various input modes such as a keyboard, a mouse, a touch screen, a microphone, a camera and the like can be provided, and input can be adjusted as required. Meanwhile, the equipment often has a plurality of output modes, such as a telephone receiver, a display screen and the like, and can be adjusted according to needs;

(2) on a software system, the device must have an operating system, such as Windows Mobile, Symbian, Palm, Android, iOS, and the like. Meanwhile, the operating systems are more and more open, and personalized application programs developed based on the open operating system platforms are infinite, such as a communication book, a schedule, a notebook, a calculator, various games and the like, so that the requirements of personalized users are met to a great extent;

(3) in terms of communication capacity, the device has flexible access mode and high-bandwidth communication performance, and can automatically adjust the selected communication mode according to the selected service and the environment, thereby being convenient for users to use. The device can support GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), CDMA2000(Code Division Multiple Access), TDSCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), Wi-Fi (Wireless-Fidelity), WiMAX (world interoperability for Microwave Access), etc., thereby adapting to various systems of networks, not only supporting voice service, but also supporting various Wireless data services;

(4) in the aspect of function use, the equipment focuses more on humanization, individuation and multi-functionalization. With the development of computer technology, devices enter a human-centered mode from a device-centered mode, and the embedded computing, control technology, artificial intelligence technology, biometric authentication technology and the like are integrated, so that the human-oriented purpose is fully embodied. Due to the development of software technology, the equipment can be adjusted and set according to individual requirements, and is more personalized. Meanwhile, the device integrates a plurality of software and hardware, and the function is more and more powerful.

In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the searching for the search result list based on the first search keyword includes:

searching based on the first search keyword to obtain a corresponding first search result;

when the number of the first search results is smaller than the number threshold, acquiring at least one second search keyword of a second language corresponding to the first search keyword based on a preset rule;

searching based on each second search keyword to obtain a corresponding second search result;

taking the first search result and each second search result as a search result list;

and when the number of the first search results is not less than the number threshold value, using the first search results as a search result list.

Specifically, after receiving a search request, the server extracts a first search keyword in a first language from the search request, and then performs a search based on the first search keyword to obtain a first search result, and when the number of first search results obtained by using the first search keyword is smaller than a number threshold, a situation that there is no user requirement in the search results may occur.

Further, if the number of the first search results exceeds the number threshold, the second search keyword does not need to be acquired, the second search result is obtained based on the second search keyword, and the first search result is used as the search result list.

For example, the preset number threshold is 10, the first search keyword is a, and when the first search result obtained based on a search is 15, the 15 search results are used as a search result list; if the first search result is 5, a second search keyword a 'corresponding to the first search keyword is obtained, and then 30 second search results are obtained based on the a' search, and these 35 search results are used as a search result list. Further, when the search result based on a is 0 and the search result based on a' is 30, then the search result list is 30 search results at this time, and the first search result is not included.

In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, searching for a corresponding first search result based on a first search keyword includes:

performing word segmentation processing on the first search keyword to obtain at least one word segmentation;

and searching to obtain a corresponding first search result based on each participle and a preset rule.

When searching for the search keyword, natural language processing, such as word segmentation processing, may be performed on the search keyword to obtain at least one word segmentation, and then each word segmentation is searched by using a preset rule, so as to obtain a search result.

The method for obtaining the corresponding first search result based on each participle and a preset rule search comprises the following steps:

and when the number of the participles does not exceed the participle number threshold, at least one of the participles is adopted for searching to obtain a corresponding first search result.

Specifically, a threshold of the number of segmented words may be preset, and when the number of each segmented word obtained after the segmentation processing of the search keyword does not exceed the threshold of the number of segmented words, at least one of the segmented words may be used for searching, so as to obtain a search result.

For example, if the preset word segmentation quantity threshold is 3, then the search keyword "red-cooked pork practice" is segmented to obtain 2 word segments "red-cooked pork" and "practice", then at least one of the 2 word segments may be used for searching, that is, three search keywords "red-cooked pork", "practice" and "red-cooked pork practice" are used for searching, and as long as any information such as the name, brief introduction and the like of any video includes any one of the three search keywords, the video may be used as a search result, so that a search result corresponding to the "red-cooked pork practice" is obtained.

Further, the priority of the complete search keyword is highest at the time of searching. In the last example, among the three search keywords of "pork braised in soy sauce", "method" and "method for pork braised in soy sauce", the "method for pork braised in soy sauce" is preferentially adopted for searching, and then the "method for pork braised in soy sauce" and "method" are adopted for searching, so that the search result can be guaranteed to be more matched with the requirements of the user.

when the number of the participles exceeds a participle number threshold value, acquiring the word frequency of each participle; the word frequency is the frequency of the occurrence of the participles in a preset multilingual word bank;

taking the participle with the lowest word frequency and the preset participle number in each participle as each first target participle, and calculating the product of the word frequencies of each first target participle to obtain a calculation result;

when the calculation result is smaller than the product threshold, removing the first target participle with the minimum word frequency in each first target participle to obtain each second target participle;

and taking each second target participle as a current first target participle, repeatedly executing the step of calculating the product of the word frequencies of each first target participle to obtain a calculation result, removing the first target participle with the minimum word frequency in each first target participle when the calculation result is smaller than a product threshold value to obtain each second target participle until the current calculation result is not smaller than the product threshold value, and searching by adopting at least one of the plurality of second target participles to obtain a corresponding first search result.

Specifically, when the number of the participles exceeds a participle number threshold, the word frequency of each participle is obtained, and as the word frequency is higher, the information amount is less, and the search result is less, the participle with the word frequency of the least participle number threshold needs to be selected from each participle as a target participle; the word frequency of each participle is the frequency of each participle appearing in a preset multilingual word stock. For example, 5 segmented words are obtained after the search keyword segmentation processing, and if the number of the segmented words exceeds 3, 3 segmented words with the lowest word frequency number are selected from the 5 segmented words as target segmented words.

And then, calculating the product of the word frequencies of all the target participles to obtain a calculation result, when the calculation result is smaller than a product threshold value, indicating that no search result may exist when searching by adopting the current target participles, at the moment, removing the participle with the lowest word frequency in the current target participles to obtain the remaining target participles, then continuously calculating the product of the word frequencies of the remaining target participles to obtain the calculation result, and if the calculation result is still smaller than the product threshold value, continuously repeating the steps until the product of the word frequencies of the current remaining target participles is not smaller than the product threshold value.

In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, obtaining at least one second search keyword in a second language corresponding to the first search keyword based on a preset rule includes:

and inquiring and matching the first search keyword in a preset multilingual word stock to obtain at least one first language keyword matched with the first search keyword and obtain each second language keyword which is respectively associated with each first language keyword.

Specifically, the preset multilingual lexicon includes a plurality of keyword pairs, each keyword pair includes a first language keyword and a corresponding second language keyword, the first language keyword and the second language keyword have an association relationship therebetween, and meanwhile, the plurality of keyword pairs may have an association relationship therebetween.

Furthermore, the first search keyword is queried and matched in the multilingual lexicon to obtain at least one corresponding first language keyword and each second language keyword corresponding to each first language keyword.

For example, the multilingual lexicon includes three keyword pairs "red Braised pork" - "Braised pot", "doing" - "job", "red Braised pork doing" - "how to cook Braised pork pot", "red Braised pork" has an association relationship with "Braised pot", doing "has an association relationship with" job ", doing" has an association relationship with "how to cook Braised pork", and "how to cook Braised pork" has an association relationship with "how to cook Braised pork pot", and meanwhile, the three keyword pairs have an association relationship with each other.

When the first search keyword is 'meat cooking method', the 'meat cooking method' is inquired and matched in a multilingual word stock to obtain three first-language keywords 'meat cooking method', 'cooking method' and 'meat cooking method', and three second-language keywords 'Braided pork', 'front part' and 'how to cook pork' are obtained based on the incidence relation.

In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset multilingual lexicon is an offline database constructed based on historical search keywords, the multilingual lexicon includes at least one first-language partial word, a second-language keyword, and a recall number corresponding to the second-language keyword, and the first-language partial word, the second-language keyword, and the recall number have an association relationship with each other. The historical search keywords are search keywords used by the user in searching.

Further, the preset multilingual lexicon is generated in the following way:

obtaining historical search keywords of a first language, and performing word segmentation on the historical search keywords to obtain at least one first language keyword; the first language keyword comprises at least one word segmentation result;

translating each first language keyword to obtain a second language keyword corresponding to each first language keyword;

recalling the search results for each second language keyword to obtain the number of the recalls of the search results corresponding to each second language keyword;

and establishing the association relationship between the historical search keywords and each first language keyword, each second language keyword and each recall quantity, and storing each first language keyword, each second language keyword, each recall quantity and the association relationship into a multi-language lexicon.

Specifically, after the user finishes searching by using the search keyword in the first language each time, under an offline condition, the application program may first obtain the search keyword, and then perform word segmentation on the search keyword to obtain at least one keyword in the first language, where each keyword in the first language includes at least one word segmentation result, for example, the historical search keyword is a "meat-braised method", and two words of "meat-braised-in-red" and "method" are obtained after word segmentation, so that there are 3 keywords in total in addition to the "meat-braised-in-red method".

Then, each first language keyword is translated to obtain a corresponding second language keyword, and the association relation between each first language keyword and the corresponding second language keyword is established. For example, translating the "red-cooked pork" to obtain "Braised pot", translating the "practice" to obtain "practice", translating the "red-cooked pork practice" to obtain "how to cook pickled pot", and establishing the association relationship between the "red-cooked pork" and the "Braised pot", the "practice" and the "practice", and the "way to cook pork practice" and the "how to cook pickled pot", respectively, to obtain 3 keyword pairs.

Then, recalling the search results for each second language keyword to obtain the number of the recalls of the search results corresponding to each second language keyword; the number of recalls is the search result obtained when the keyword is used for searching. For example, the number of recalls of "Braised pork" is 334, the number of recalls of "practice" is 125889, and the number of recalls of "how to book bought pork" is 3, that is, a search using "Braised pork" can result in 334 search results.

And then establishing the incidence relation between each second language keyword and the corresponding recall quantity thereof and between each keyword pair, and storing each keyword pair and the corresponding recall quantity thereof.

Furthermore, since the historical search keywords of each user are obtained, repeated keywords appear in the obtained historical search keywords, and the number of times that the keywords are repeated in the multilingual word stock can be counted as the word frequency of the keywords.

Thus, in the offline case, the application may generate an offline multilingual thesaurus based on the user's historical search keywords. When a user performs online search by using a first search keyword to obtain a first search result, and the first search result is smaller than a quantity threshold value, a second search keyword corresponding to the first search keyword can be obtained through an offline multilingual word stock, and a second search result is obtained based on the second search keyword, so that the quantity of the search results is greatly increased.

In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the obtaining of the respective corresponding second search result based on the search of each second search keyword includes:

acquiring the number of recalls of the search results corresponding to each second language keyword; the number of recalls of the search results is the number of search results obtained by searching according to any second language keyword;

determining at least one target second language keyword based on each recall quantity and the recall quantity threshold;

and determining the second search results with the recall quantity threshold value from the set of search results corresponding to the target second language keywords respectively.

Specifically, before searching by using each search keyword, the recall number corresponding to each search keyword may be obtained from the multi-language lexicon, then at least one target second-language keyword is determined based on each recall number and a preset recall number threshold, and then the second search result of the recall number threshold is determined from the set of search results corresponding to each target second-language keyword (that is, all search results corresponding to each target second-language keyword).

In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, determining at least one target second language keyword based on the number of recalls and the number of recalls threshold includes:

performing ascending sorting on each second language keyword based on each recall quantity to obtain each second language keyword after sorting;

taking the first-ranked keywords in the second language as detection objects, and determining the total recall quantity of the detection objects;

judging whether the total number of recalls exceeds a threshold value of the number of recalls;

if not, the detection object and the second language key word next to the detection object in the sequence are simultaneously used as the current detection object, the steps of determining the total recall quantity of the detection object and judging whether the total recall quantity exceeds the recall quantity threshold value are repeatedly executed, and at least one second language key word corresponding to the current detection object is used as the target second language key word until the total recall quantity exceeds the recall quantity threshold value.

Assuming that the threshold number of recalls is 70, the number of recalls for keyword a in the second language is 10, the number of recalls for B is 40, the number of recalls for C is 20, the number of recalls for D is 30, and the number of recalls for E is 50, then sorting ABCDE in ascending order based on the respective number of recalls yields: A-C-D-B-E, then taking A as a detection object, determining the total recall number of A, then judging whether the total recall number of A exceeds a recall number threshold value, taking the next C in the sequence of A as the current detection object at the same time because 10<70, repeatedly executing the steps of determining the total recall number of the detection object and judging whether the total recall number exceeds the recall number threshold value, and continuing to repeatedly execute the steps because 10+20 is equal to 30<70 until ACDB is taken as the current detection object at the same time and ACDB is taken as the target second language keyword because 10+20+30+40 is equal to 100>70 when ACDB is taken as the current detection object at the same time.

In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, determining the second search result with the recall number threshold from the set of search results corresponding to each target keyword in the second language includes:

sorting the search results based on the ascending sort of the target second language keywords and the preset sort of the search results corresponding to the target second language keywords to obtain the sorted search results;

taking the first N search results in the sorted search results as second search results; where N is a recall number threshold.

In practical applications, the second search results obtained according to the second language keywords are also ranked, for example, the number of recalls of a is 10, which means that 10 second search results can be obtained according to a, and then the 10 second search results are also ranked.

Therefore, after the target second language keyword ACDB is determined, all search results are ranked based on the ranking of each target second language keyword and the ranking of the search result corresponding to each target second language keyword, so as to obtain ranked search results, and then from the search result ranked first, N search results before ranking are selected as second search results, where N is a recall number threshold.

For example, in the above example, 100 search results corresponding to ACDB are ranked, and then the search result of the top 70 is taken as the second search result, that is, the second search result includes all search results corresponding to A, C, D, and the search result of the top 10 of the search results corresponding to B.

In practical application, the smaller the number of search results corresponding to a search keyword, the higher the matching degree between the search results and the search keyword. For example, for the first search keyword "meat-braised method" in the previous example, three second search keywords are obtained through the multilingual lexicon: braided pork, practice, how to book bouired pork, "Braided pork" had a number of recalls of 334, "practice" had a number of recalls of 125889, "how to book bouired pork" had a number of recalls of 3. The number of recalls of the "how to book bought pork" is the least, but the matching degree with the "red-cooked pork practice" is the highest, and the 3 search results are also the most suitable for the user requirements.

And step S103, displaying the search result list.

For example, if the number of the first search results is 50 and the number of the second search results is 150, the number of the search results returned to the terminal and the device is 200, and the terminal device displays a search result list including 200 search results to the user.

Further, the simplified Chinese language is used as the first language, and English is used as the second language for example. In the search interface shown in fig. 2, the user enters "braised pork practice" in the search bar, and 5 first search results are obtained, and assuming that the number threshold is 3, the 5 first search results are displayed as shown in fig. 3.

If 2 first search results are obtained, three second search keywords are obtained based on the multilingual thesaurus: and performing a search based on the three second search keywords to obtain 6 second search results, and finally displaying the 8 search results, as shown in fig. 4.

If the number of the first search results is 0 and 3 second search results are obtained, 3 second search results are shown, as shown in fig. 5.
