Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the interest of clarity and conciseness, not all features of an actual implementation are described in the specification. It will of course be appreciated that in the development of any such actual embodiment, numerous implementation-specific decisions must be made to achieve the developers' specific goals, such as compliance with system-related and business-related constraints, which will vary from one implementation to another. Moreover, it will be appreciated that such a development effort might be complex and time-consuming, but would nevertheless be a routine undertaking for those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure.

It should be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention with unnecessary details, only the device structures and/or processing steps closely related to the solution according to the present invention are shown in the drawings, and other details not so relevant to the present invention are omitted.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an information processing method. An example flow of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to fig. 1.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart schematically showing one example flow of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. An information processing method is used for marking text in a web page, as shown in fig. 1, an example process 100 of which may include: a selection operation receiving step S101, receiving the selection operation of a user on a target text in a webpage; a text range determination step S103 of determining a range of a text selected by a user in a document object model corresponding to the web page; a text division step S105 of dividing the range of the selected text determined in step S103 into a plurality of sections according to the text nodes; and a labeling step S107 for labeling each of the divided sections.

The web page processed by the information processing method of the present embodiment may be any web page including text provided by any website. For convenience of explanation, hereinafter, a web page written in HTML language will be exemplified as necessary for detailed description. Based on the disclosure, those skilled in the art can understand that the information processing method of the embodiment can be similarly applied to web pages written in other languages.

In the selection operation receiving step S101, a selection operation of a target text in a web page by a user in any appropriate manner may be received. In one example, the user may perform the selection operation in the following manner: dragging or double-clicking a target text on a display screen displaying a web page, or inputting a target text in an input box displayed on the display screen. In addition, in the case where the user browses a web page using a mobile terminal such as a smart phone, it is also possible to long-press or drag target text on a display screen on which the web page is displayed to perform a selection operation. The selection may be made in any suitable manner compatible (provided) with the device used by the user and the web page being browsed.

In the text range determination step S103, a range of the text selected by the user may be determined in a Document Object Model (DOM) corresponding to the web page. By way of example, FIG. 2 shows an exemplary DOM structure in which the scope of the text selected by the user has been determined (only a portion of the DOM structure of the entire web page is shown for clarity). In the example of FIG. 2, the user has selected the text range "word Two" on the web page, i.e., the range from the second word "of the first text node Tn1 to the first word" Two "of the second text node Tn 2.

In the text dividing step S105, the range of the selected text determined in step S103 is divided into a plurality of sections by text node. In other words, the range of the selected text is divided in a manner that does not span text nodes. For the example of FIG. 2, it is divided into intervals that do not span the text nodes Tn1, Tn2, i.e., into the interval "word" in the text node Tn1 and the interval "Two" in the text node Tn 2. One example process of dividing text intervals will be described later with reference to fig. 4.

In the labeling process step S107, a labeling process may be performed for each of the divided sections. FIG. 3 illustrates the state of the exemplary DOM structure of FIG. 2 after the marking process for each interval has been performed. In this example, a mark is added to each of the resulting sections, and further to all of the selected texts, by adding HTML tags "em" (emphasis elements that cause the browser to highlight, for example, in italics, the text wrapped by a pair of tags em) to each of the front and back of the section "word" in the text node Tn1 and the section "Two" in the text node Tn2 in the DOM structure. Accordingly, the web page browsed by the user may become a state after the mark is added.

Due to the nature of web page documents, web pages, such as those written in the HTML language, typically require the use of paired tags when making tags. With the processing in steps S105 and S107 described above, dividing the range of the selected text into a plurality of sections by text node and marking them separately, it is possible to ensure that a label is added separately to each section that does not cross the text node (i.e., each section is wrapped with a pair of labels). In this way, even if the user-selected text area covers multiple HTML elements, the added tags are prevented from wrapping other HTML elements (e.g., linefeed "br" between text nodes Tn1 and Tn2 in FIG. 2) by marking each interval that does not cross a text node, respectively, so as not to disrupt the DOM structure or cause HTML page parsing errors.

By the information processing method according to the embodiment of the disclosure, the selected text in the webpage can be marked according to the operation of the user, so that the user can conveniently view the marked text part subsequently.

One example process performed in the text range determination step in the information processing method of fig. 1 will be described below with reference to fig. 4.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart schematically showing one example process in the text dividing step in the information processing method of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 4, one example process of the text dividing step S105 (i.e., a process between the marks A, B in fig. 1 and 4) may include: a step S1051 of sorting the first and last characters of the text nodes and the text range, which is used to sort the first and last characters of each text node and the first and last characters in the selected text range in the document object model according to the serial numbers of the text nodes to which each character belongs in all the text nodes and the positions of the characters in the text nodes to which the characters belong, and delete the repeated characters from the sorting result; and a step S1053 of combining adjacent characters two by two, which is used for obtaining a plurality of character intervals in the range of the selected text as divided intervals in a manner that adjacent characters are combined two by two in the order from the first character to the last character in the range of the selected text in the sorting result, wherein adjacent characters with different serial numbers of text nodes are not combined two by two.

With the processing of steps S1051 and S1053 described above, it is possible to automatically divide the text range selected by the user into sections that do not span text nodes in a simple manner, thereby avoiding destruction of the DOM structure or causing an HTML page parsing error.

Before describing the example process of fig. 4, a method of determining (locating) user-selected text used in the example process, which may be used, for example, in step S103 of the example process 100 of fig. 1, is described with reference back to fig. 2.

In this example, the user-selected text is located by determining the location in the DOM structure of the text node to which the user-selected text belongs and the location of the user-selected text in that text node.

In a preferred embodiment, the order of each text node may be obtained by traversing all the text nodes in the document object model starting from the root node. The traversal may be performed using depth-first or breadth-first, etc. Taking a web document written in the HTML language as an example, since a text node does not belong to an HTML element, it cannot be directly located by giving an id attribute or other attributes like an element node. Therefore, with the method of the preferred embodiment, the position of the text node in the DOM structure is represented by the sequence number X obtained in the above manner, where X is a natural number and X is less than or equal to X, and X is the number of all text nodes in the DOM structure. For example, for two text nodes in the example of fig. 2, the numbers 1, 2 (the first and second text nodes under the root node) may be obtained, respectively, and thus represented by text nodes Tn1, Tn 2.

For each character in the text node Tnx with sequence number x, the position of the character in the text node can be used for representation. Assuming that the length of a text node Tnx is L, the ith character in the text node may be represented by a position value (Tnx, i), and all characters in the text node may be represented by an interval Tnx- [1, L ], where i and L are natural numbers, and i is less than or equal to L. The above intervals may be used to represent character intervals for each text node in the entire DOM structure. For example, in the example of FIG. 2, the Two text nodes Tn1 ("One word"), Tn2 ("Two words") are 8 and 9 (space count length), respectively, and their respective character intervals are Tn1- [1,8], Tn2- [1,9 ].

In the manner described above, all text nodes in the DOM structure and individual characters therein can be located. In the example of FIG. 2, when the operation received in, for example, the selection operation receiving step S101 of FIG. 1 indicates that the user selected a text range of "word" in the first text node Tn1 to "Two" in the second text node Tn2, the beginning (or first character) of the text range can be located as beg (Tn1,4) and the end (or last character) of the text range as end (Tn2,3) in, for example, the text range determining step S103 of FIG. 1 in the manner described above.

After the above-described text ranges, i.e. the first character beg (Tn1,4) and the last character end (Tn2,3), have been determined for the example DOM structure shown in fig. 2, for example in the text range determination step S103 of fig. 1, the example process S105 for text interval division shown in fig. 4 may be performed.

First, in the head-to-tail character sorting step S1051 of the text node and the text range of fig. 4, the first character (Tn1,1) and the tail character (Tn1,8) of the text node Tn1, the first character (Tn2,1) and the tail character (Tn2,9) of the text node Tn2, and the first character (Tn1,4) and the tail character (Tn2,3) of the determined range of the text (selected by the user) in the DOM structure of fig. 2 are sorted by the serial number of the text node to which each character belongs among all text nodes and the position of the character in the text node to which the character belongs.

In the sorting process, for the position values (Tna, i), (Tnb, j) of any two characters, the text node serial numbers of the two position values, namely a and b, are compared, and the character associated with the smaller one of a and b is arranged in front (a, b, i and j are natural numbers, i is less than or equal to a, j is less than or equal to b). Only when a is b, i and j representing the positions of the characters in the position values of the two characters are compared, and the character associated with the smaller of i and j is ranked ahead. If a equals b and i equals j, then the two characters are arranged next to each other. Then, duplicate characters are deleted from the sorted sequence.

In this way, in the present example, the following sequence (1) was finally obtained as the ranking result:

(Tn1,1),(Tn1,4),(Tn1,8),(Tn2,1),(Tn2,3)(Tn2,9) … sequence (1)

In sequence (1), underlined characters (Tn1,4) and (Tn2,3) represent the first character and the last character, respectively, in the range of the text selected by the user.

Having obtained the above sorting result, the example process S105 of fig. 4 may proceed to a neighboring character pairwise combination step S1053. In this step, in the sequence (1) as the sorting result, a plurality of character intervals in the range of (Tn1,4) to (Tn2,3) are obtained in the order of the first character (Tn1,4) to the last character (Tn2,3) in the range of the selected text in such a manner that adjacent characters are combined two by two, that is, Tn1- [4,8] ((Tn1,4) combined with (Tn1, 8)), Tn2- [1,3] ((Tn2,1) combined with (Tn2, 3)) are obtained as divided intervals. Note that such pairwise combinations are not made for adjacent characters having different ordinal numbers of text nodes (e.g., (Tn1,8) and (Tn2, 1)).

Finally, the sequence (2) of the divided intervals is obtained as follows:

tn1- [4,8], Tn2- [1,3] … sequence (2)

In this way, the text range "word wo" selected by the user is divided into an interval Tn1- [4,8] (interval "word" in the text node Tn 1) and Tn2- [1,3] (interval "Two" in the text node Tn 2) that do not cross the text nodes Tn1, Tn 2. Accordingly, in the subsequent marking process, a tag can be added separately for each text interval so as not to destroy the DOM structure.

Next, another example flow of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to fig. 5.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart schematically showing another example flow of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, in this exemplary flow 500, in addition to the selection operation receiving step S501, the text range determining step S503, the text dividing step S505, and the marking processing step S507 corresponding to steps S101 to S107 of fig. 1, a new selection operation determining step S509 is additionally included for determining whether or not a new user selection operation (drag, double-click, long-press, etc. for a web page text) exists, and when a new user selection operation exists, the processing of steps S501 to S507 is returned to be executed.

In this manner, in the preferred embodiment, the same user is allowed to select or mark text in a web page multiple times and multiple users to select and mark text in a web page separately. Because the text in the webpage is marked in a mode of not crossing text nodes in the embodiment, the DOM structure cannot be damaged by processing brought by each user operation, so that the user operations do not conflict with each other and can be respectively processed correspondingly.

Next, still another example flow of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to fig. 6 and 7, where fig. 6 is a flowchart schematically illustrating the example flow, and fig. 7 is a diagram schematically illustrating one example of a part of a markup web page presented by the web page presenting step in the example flow.

In the example flow 600 of FIG. 6, a web page document corresponding to a web page is cached on a terminal (such as a personal computer or mobile terminal) used by a user to browse the web page. Accordingly, as shown in fig. 6, in the exemplary flow 600, in addition to the selection operation receiving step S601, the text range determining step S603, the text dividing step S605, and the marking process step S607 corresponding to steps S101 to S107 of fig. 1, a web page presenting step S609 is additionally included for presenting a web page after the marking process is performed on the display screen of the terminal.

In one example, the web page includes the text "This is a book in the field of biopharmaceutics", which the user is interested in and wishes to mark for later review. Accordingly, with the example flow 600 of the present embodiment, after receiving an operation of the user selecting the word "biopharmaceutics" by an action of dragging, double-clicking, long-pressing, or the like on the display screen through the selection operation receiving step S601, the text "biopharmaceutics" selected by the user in the web page may be marked through the text range determining step S603, the text dividing step S605, the marking processing step S607, which are similar to the text range determination, the text dividing, the marking processing, and the like described above with reference to fig. 1 to 4, and the web page after the marking processing is presented, as shown in the web page part 701 in fig. 7. As shown in FIG. 7, in this example, the user-selected text "biopharmaceutics" is added with a shadow effect as a way of marking.

Next, still another example flow of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to fig. 8 and 9, where fig. 8 is a flowchart schematically illustrating the example flow, and fig. 9 is a diagram schematically illustrating one example of a part of a web page after a mark process, which is presented by the web page presenting step in the example flow.

In the exemplary flow 800 of fig. 8, in addition to the selection operation receiving step S801, the text range determining step S803, the text dividing step S805, the marking process step S807 corresponding to steps S101 to S107 of fig. 1, the following steps are additionally included: an annotation information receiving step S809 for receiving one or more annotation information input by one or more users for the selected text; a comment information adding step S811 of adding comment information to a position related to the selected text in the document object model corresponding to the web page; and a web page presenting step S813 of presenting the web page to which the comment information is added on a display screen displaying the web page. In this example flow, display may also be switched between a web page to which comment information is added and a web page to which no comment information is added in response to an operation by the user with respect to the comment information displayed on the display screen (and/or the displayed text portion that is marked) or an operation by the user with respect to a position on the display screen at which the comment information and/or the text portion that is marked and a position in the vicinity thereof are displayed. Further, in this example flow, it is optional to proceed directly to the web page presentation step S813 after the labeling processing step S807 in order to present a web page after labeling but to which comment information is not added.

In the comment information receiving step S809, comment information that the user has previously input for the text that he selected in the selection operation receiving step S801 in any appropriate manner may be received. For example, the annotation information manually input by the user may be received through an input device such as a keyboard, a mouse, or a touch screen, or the annotation information input by the user in a voice manner may be received through a voice input and a voice recognition.

As an example, as shown in the upper diagram of fig. 9, the text selected by the user in the web page (web page part) 901 is "biopharmaceutics" and the text department has been marked (with the addition of the shadow effect) by the processing of steps S801 to S109.

In the comment information receiving step S809, comment information "biopharmaceutical" that the user has entered for the text is further received. Next, in the comment information adding step S811, the comment information "biopharmaceutical" received in step S809 may be added to a position related to the text "biopharmaceutics" in the document object model corresponding to the web page. As an example, it may be added to the same text node where the text "biopharmaceutics" is located.

Next, in a web page presentation step S813, a web page to which the comment information is added is presented on a display screen displaying the web page.

Preferably, in this example, the rendered webpage with added annotation information may include a webpage with annotation information in place of the selected (or previously tagged) text. In this example, as shown in the lower diagram of fig. 9, the presented webpage with added annotation information is a webpage portion 902 in which the selected text "biopharmaceutics" is replaced with annotation information "biopharmaceutical".

Further, it is preferable that the user can perform the switching display between the web page to which the comment information is added and the web page to which the comment information is not added by a click operation or the like of the comment information (for example, "biopharmaceuticals" in the web page 902 of fig. 9) or the text portion subjected to the labeling processing (for example, "biopharmaceutics" in the web page 901 of fig. 9) displayed on the display screen, for example, to perform the convenient switching between the web page 902 and the web page 901 of fig. 9.

As an example, the foregoing toggle display may be implemented using the innerHTML attribute in the HTML language. More specifically, the innerHTML attribute may be added to a division area corresponding to the user-selected text ("biopharmaceutics") (for example, the division area obtained by the text division step S805) in the DOM structure, and the value of the innerHTML attribute is set to original text ("biopharmaceutics") or annotation information ("biopharmaceutical"), so as to enable switching of display of the original text or annotation information by a click operation of the user.

Further, for example, when the user-selected text spans a plurality of text nodes, i.e., is divided into a plurality of sections, for example, in the text dividing step S805, the innerHTML attribute may be set in such a manner that the sections are associated so that when the user clicks any one of the markup text portions or the comment information portions in the displayed web page on the display screen, then switching between the entire markup text and the entire comment information is performed. That is, if comment information is displayed on the web page before the click operation, all comment information is hidden after the click operation and the previous markup text is displayed on the display screen; otherwise, the mark text is hidden and all the annotation information is displayed.

In such a way, the preferred embodiment can allow the user to conveniently add the annotation information and switch the display, so that the user can see both the original text and the annotation in the same page, thereby further improving the physical examination of the user when the user browses the webpage. The preferred embodiments are particularly advantageous in web applications such as foreign material web pages where hard terms exist, shopping web pages where key price information exists, and the like.

A plurality of example flows of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure are described above with reference to fig. 1 to 9. With the information processing method of the present embodiment.

Note that the information processing method of the embodiment of the present disclosure may be implemented in various ways.

In one example, the steps of receiving a selection operation of a user, determining a range of a text selected by the user, dividing the range of the selected text into a plurality of sections, and performing a marking process on each of the divided sections (e.g., steps S101 to S107 of fig. 1), and the like may be performed using a plug-in installed on a browser.

Alternatively, in another example, the relevant processing may be performed with a server website. In this case, the information processing method of the present example may further include, before receiving the selection operation by the user, opening a link to a web page that the user needs to process in the server website. Thereafter, steps of receiving a selection operation of the user, determining a range of the text selected by the user, dividing the range of the selected text into a plurality of sections, and performing a marking process on each of the divided sections (e.g., steps S101 to S109 of fig. 1), and the like may be performed through the server website.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an information processing apparatus. Fig. 10 is a schematic block diagram schematically showing one example structure of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
