Detailed Description

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

Method embodiment

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a translation processing method according to the present invention is shown, and specifically may include the following steps:

step 101, identifying a target text unit in a selected text, wherein the selected text corresponds to a first language;

and 102, outputting a translation result of the selected text corresponding to the second language and outputting related information of the target text unit.

The translation processing method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to electronic equipment, wherein the electronic equipment comprises a display screen, and man-machine interaction can be realized through the display screen. The electronic devices include, but are not limited to: a server, a smart phone, a recording pen, a tablet computer, an e-book reader, an MP3 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III) player, an MP4 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV) player, a laptop, a car computer, a desktop computer, a set-top box, a smart tv, a wearable device, and the like.

The selected text can be a text to be translated selected by a user through selection operation, and the word-taking translation function can be triggered under the condition that the selected text in the current interface is detected and is used for translating the selected text in real time and outputting a translation result. The selected text may be a sentence, a word, an article, etc. According to the embodiment of the invention, after the selected text is detected, the selected text is translated from the first language to the second language through a machine translation algorithm, and a translation result of the selected text corresponding to the second language is obtained. The machine translation algorithm can be any existing machine translation algorithm, and can be served by a cloud server or a software algorithm built in the current electronic equipment. In addition, the embodiment of the invention identifies the selected text, judges whether the selected text contains the target text unit, if the selected text contains the target text unit, acquires the related information of the target text unit, and outputs the selected text

And outputting the relevant information of the target text unit on the basis of the translation result corresponding to the second language.

It should be noted that the first language and the second language are different languages. The embodiment of the invention does not limit the language types of the first language and the second language. In the embodiment of the present invention, the language categories of the first language and the second language may be preset, or the language categories of the first language and the second language may be automatically determined by the current application environment. The language categories of the first language and the second language may include chinese, english, french, italian, german, portuguese, japanese, korean, and the like. In the embodiment of the invention, the first language is English, the second language is Chinese, and the application scenes of other language types are similar and can be referred to each other.

In an optional embodiment of the invention, the method may further comprise: and determining the first language and the second language according to the language type of the application environment where the selected text is located.

In one example, the application environment in which the selected text is located may be an online translation application, and the source language currently set by the online translation application may be used as the first language, and the target language currently set by the online translation application may be used as the second language. For example, if the source language currently set by the online translation application is French and the target language is Chinese, it can be determined that the first language is French and the second language is Chinese.

In another example, the first language corresponding to the selected text may be obtained through automatic recognition, and if the language type of the application environment in which the selected text is located is different from the first language corresponding to the selected text, the language type of the application environment in which the selected text is located may be determined to be the second language. For example, if the application in which the selected text is located is a news browsing application, the first language corresponding to the selected text is english, and the language type of the news browsing application is chinese, it may be determined that the second language is chinese.

Of course, the above-mentioned manner for automatically determining the first language and the second language is only an application example of the present invention, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the manner for automatically determining the first language and the second language. The second language may also be determined, for example, based on a language class of the electronic device system.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the type of the target text unit includes, but is not limited to, fixed collocation and/or phrase. Wherein, the fixed collocation is a fixed structure consisting of at least two fixed words. For example, "recording to" (basis) and "be determined to" (decision) are two fixed collocations in English. Phrases are units of language without sentence, which are composed of words that can be matched in grammar, and are also called phrases. Phrases are grammatical units that are larger than words but not sentences. Further, phrases may include consecutive phrases and non-consecutive phrases. A continuous phrase is a phrase consisting of at least two words without a separation. For example, "under the weather" (uncomfortable body) is a continuous phrase in English that contains three consecutive words with no space in between. Non-consecutive phrases are distinguished from consecutive phrases in that at least two of the words comprising the non-consecutive phrase may have a space between them. For example, "take place" is a non-continuous phrase in English, and there may be a gap between the words "take" and "place", such as "take sb's place", or "take sth's place".

In specific implementation, the type of the target text unit is not limited to phrases and fixed collocation, and may also include popular phrases, idioms, word sequences constituting sentences without grammatical meanings, and the like, and the type of the target text unit may be set according to actual needs.

Through the embodiment of the invention, in the process of translating the selected text in real time, the translation result of the selected text can be provided for the user, the target text unit (such as phrases, fixed collocation and the like) in the selected text can be further automatically identified, and the related information of the target text unit is provided for the user.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the information related to the target text unit includes, but is not limited to, at least one of an original text of the target text unit in the selected text, a type of the target text unit, an original shape of the target text unit, and a translation result of the target text unit corresponding to a second language.

The embodiment of the invention does not limit the specific content of the relevant information of the target text unit. For example, the related information may include simple description information and/or detailed description information of the target text unit. The simple description information may include an original shape of the target text unit, a translation result corresponding to the second language, a simple paraphrase, and the like. The detailed description information may include a detailed paraphrase, usage, illustrative sentences, etc. of the target text unit.

In one example, assuming that The selected text is "The text of The government saved to tap strong mediums of science", The embodiment of The present invention translates The selected text after detecting The selected text, and outputs The translation result of The selected text corresponding to The second language (assumed to be chinese) as "they urge The government to take powerful measures to strike The violent actor. ". In addition, the embodiment of the invention also identifies the selected text and identifies that the selected text contains two target text units. One is the fixed collocation of "wee urged to" (original form is "be urged to"), and the other is the phrase "take string measures" (original form is "take measures"). Therefore, on the basis of outputting the translation result of the selected text corresponding to the second language, the relevant information of the target text units "wee forwarded to" and "take strokes measures" can also be output. The related information includes, but is not limited to, the original text of the target text unit in the selected text, the type of the target text unit, the original shape, the translation result corresponding to the second language, and the like. For example, in this example, a target text element "wee urged to" whose type is "fixed collocation" and whose original shape is "be urged to" corresponding to the translation result in the second language may be output as "wee urged to" in the original text of the selected text. And outputting an original text of a target text unit 'take string measures' in the selected text as 'take string measures', wherein the type of the target text unit is 'phrase', the original shape of the target text unit is 'take measures', and the translation result corresponding to the second language is 'take measures'.

It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the output form of the translation result of the selected text. For example, a layer may be newly created, and the translation result of the selected text corresponding to the second language is displayed in the newly created layer. The parameters of the layer can be set by those skilled in the art or by users, and the parameters can include background color, size, transparency, and the like. Preferably, the background color of the layer may be different from the background color of the selected text, so as to highlight the translation result.

Of course, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the output form of the related information of the target text unit. For example, the related information of the target text unit may be displayed in the same layer as the translation result of the selected text, or may be separately displayed in different layers.

In one example, the related information of the target text unit is separately displayed in one layer and is displayed at a related position of the selected text, where the related position may be a position near the position of the selected text, and the near position may be a position of a blank area, so as to avoid affecting normal display of other contents in the current interface.

Preferably, in order not to affect the user to browse other contents in the current interface, the embodiment of the present invention displays the related information of the target text unit in the form of a pop-up window, and the related information only includes simple description information of the target text unit. For example, in The above example, identifying The target text elements "wee urged to take strokes" and "take strokes" in The selected text "The concept weeurges and The experience of The science," a popup may be displayed in The current interface and simple descriptive information for The target text elements "wee urd to" and "take strokes" may be displayed in The popup, such as The original shapes "be urged to" and "take strokes" of only two target text elements, to prompt The user to include The two target text elements in The selected text.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, after the outputting the information related to the target text unit, the method may further include: and responding to the triggering operation of the relevant information of the target text unit, and jumping to a detail page corresponding to the target text unit.

After the target text unit contained in the selected text is identified and the related information of the target text unit is output, if the user wants to further acquire more detailed information of the target text unit, the related information of the target text unit can be triggered, so that the current interface jumps to the detailed page corresponding to the target text unit. The details page corresponding to the target unit of text may be used to display detailed description information for the target unit of text, or the details page may be an explanation page in the online dictionary for the target unit of text.

The triggering operation includes, but is not limited to, a mouse click operation, such as a left click, a left double click, a right double click, a touch operation on a touch display screen of the electronic device, and the like. The touch operation may be implemented by a target object (e.g., a finger, a stylus, etc.) approaching or contacting a touch display screen of the electronic device. In one example, the touch operation may include: clicking (including single clicking, double clicking, three continuous clicking) operation, long-time pressing operation, sliding operation and the like.

Further, the trigger operation may include a gesture operation, which may be a gesture track or the like; alternatively, the trigger operation may be a combination operation of a gesture operation and a device input operation other than the gesture operation. For example, the combined operation may be a combination operation formed by combining a gesture operation and a key operation of a certain function key on the electronic device; the method can also be combined operation formed by combining gesture operation and voice control operation; or a combined operation formed by combining gesture operation and touch operation; or a combined operation formed by combining a gesture operation and a fingerprint acquisition operation, and the like. Correspondingly, the device other than the gesture operation may be a function key, a touch screen, a fingerprint acquisition device, a voice acquisition device, or the like of the electronic device.

On the basis of providing the translation result of the selected text for the user, the embodiment of the invention can also provide the user with the related information of the target text unit contained in the selected text, expand the translation processing range, provide the user with deeper and richer information in the selected text, avoid the need of further manual query operation steps because the user does not understand the meaning of the target text unit, reduce the user operation cost and improve the user operation efficiency.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, before the identifying the target text unit in the selected text in step 101, the method may further include:

step S11, pre-establishing a template structure corresponding to the preset text unit;

step S12, comparing the selected text with the template structure, and judging whether the selected text contains a text structure matched with the template structure;

and step S13, if the selected text contains a text structure matched with the template structure, determining the matched text structure as the identified target text unit.

The embodiment of the invention can pre-establish a template library, and the template library comprises template structures corresponding to all the preset text units. Wherein each preset text unit may correspond to at least one template structure. The type of the preset text unit includes, but is not limited to, preset phrases, fixed collocations, idioms, and the like.

The embodiment of the invention judges whether the selected text contains the text structure matched with the template structure or not by comparing the selected text with the template structure, and can determine that the selected text contains the target text unit under the condition that the selected text contains the text structure matched with the template structure.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific form of the template structure. In one example, the template structure of the preset text unit "be subscribed to" is pre-established as follows: "[ be verb, any tense ] urged to", the template structure consists of an arbitrary tense "be" verb, the past expression "urged" of the verb "urge", and the preposition "to". The preset text unit is originally shaped as 'be sorted to' and is of a fixed collocation type. When The selected text "The concept document lower url to take strokes sets against The template structure," because "lower" in The text structure "lower url to" in The selected text is a "be" verb, The text structure is composed of a "be" verb, The past "url" of The verb "urge," and The preposition "to". Thus, the text structure "wee urged to" matches the template structure "[ be verb, any tense ] urged to", and may be determined to be the identified target text element.

Furthermore, the embodiment of the present invention may also pre-store the related information, such as the type, original shape, paraphrase, etc., of the preset text unit corresponding to each template structure. For example, when it is recognized that the target text unit "wee urged to" in the selected text matches the preset text unit "be urged to", it may be determined that the type of the target text unit is a fixed collocation, the original form is "be urged to", and the translation result corresponding to the second language is "promote", and other relevant information.

In another example, the template structure of the preset text unit "take measures" is pre-established as follows: "take [ spacer of preset condition ] measures", the template structure includes verb "take" and noun "measures", and there may be a spacer of preset condition between verb "take" and noun "measures". In one example, the preset conditions are: the number of the interval words is greater than or equal to zero, and the number of the interval words is not greater than 30% of the sentence length and the number of words is not greater than 4. The preset text unit is originally in the shape of 'take measures' and the type of the preset text unit is a phrase. When The selected text "The comment here output to The question strings measures against The template structure," The interval satisfies The predetermined condition because The text structure "take strings" includes The verb "take" and The noun "measures," and there is an interval word "string" between The verb "take" and The noun "measures. Therefore, it may be determined that the text structure "take strokes measures" is matched with the template structure "take [ spacer words of preset conditions ] measures", and it may be determined that "take strokes measures" is a target text unit obtained by recognition, the type of the target text unit is a phrase, the original form is "take measures", and the translation result corresponding to the second language is "take measures".

In this example, The selected text "The concept power output to take strong strokes measurements against The results of The translation in The second language" they urge The government to take forceful action against The violent actor may be output. ", and outputs the related information of the recognized two target text units (" wee urged to "and" take strokes measures "), such as the original forms" be urged to "and" take measures "of the two target text units may be output.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the comparing, in step S12, the selected text with the template structure, and determining whether the selected text includes a text structure matching the template structure, includes:

step S121, performing word segmentation on the selected text and labeling the part of speech of each word segmentation to obtain a labeling result;

and S122, comparing each participle and the part-of-speech of each participle in the labeling result with each participle and the part-of-speech of each participle preset in each template structure established in advance, and determining a matched text structure.

Further, before comparing the selected text with the pre-established template structure, the selected text may be participled and parts of speech of each participle may be labeled. Taking The selected text "The text Chinese output to music strokes structures capturing The input of The characters of science", The selected text is segmented and The part of speech of each segmented word is labeled, so as to obtain The following labeling result: "The [ definite article ] concept [ noun ] wee [ be verb, past ] digest [ verb, past participle ] to [ to ] take [ verb, now generally ] strong [ adjective ] measures [ noun ] against [ preposition ] The [ definite article ] peptides [ noun ] of [ preposition ] vision [ noun ]". Comparing the selected text with a pre-established template structure, namely comparing each participle and part of speech of the participle in the labeling result with each participle and part of speech of the participle preset in each pre-established template structure to judge whether the part of speech of the participle labeled in the selected text is matched with the part of speech of the participle preset in the template structure, and further judging whether the participle meets a preset condition under the condition that the participle exists. When the participles, the part of speech of the participles and the space words in a certain text structure in the selected text all accord with a certain template structure, the text structure can be determined to be matched with the template structure.

For example, in the above example, for the text unit "take strokes measures" in the selected text, the participles, the part of speech of the participle, and the space words contained therein all satisfy the preset conditions of the participles, the part of speech of the participle, and the space words required in the template structure "take [ space words of the preset condition ] measures" of the preset text unit "take measures", and therefore, it is possible to determine "take strokes measures" as the target text unit.

It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific manner of identifying the target text unit in the selected text. In practical applications, the implementation manner of identifying the target text unit in the selected text may include multiple, for example, may further include: presetting a regular expression, and identifying target text units in the selected text through the regular expression; or, the recognition model for recognizing the target text unit in the text may be trained in advance, and when the selected text is detected, the selected text may be input into the trained recognition model, and the target text unit in the selected text may be recognized and output through the recognition model.

The recognition model can be obtained by performing supervised training on the existing neural network according to a large number of training samples and a machine learning method. It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the model structure and the training method of the recognition model. The recognition model may fuse a variety of neural networks. The neural network includes, but is not limited to, at least one or a combination, superposition, nesting of at least two of the following: CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) Network, RNN (Simple Recurrent Neural Network), attention Neural Network, and the like.

It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the manner of obtaining the selected text. For example, the display content in the display interface may be triggered by a mouse or a keyboard to select the text. Further, for the electronic device with the touch display screen, the display content in the touch display screen of the electronic device can be triggered through the target object to select the text.

In an example, the triggering operation may be a long-press operation, and when it is detected that the duration of the triggering operation on the target area exceeds a preset time length (e.g., 2 seconds), the triggering operation may be considered to meet a condition for triggering the word fetching translation function, and the word fetching translation function may be triggered. And under the condition of triggering the word-taking translation function, determining a selected area according to the position of the triggering operation. Further, the selected area may be displayed distinctively, for example, by changing the background color of the selected area. And detecting whether the recognizable text content exists in the selected area through a preset algorithm strategy, and if so, determining that the text in the selected area is the selected text.

It is understood that the trigger operation includes, but is not limited to, a long press operation, and may also include a mouse click operation, such as a left click, a left double click, a right double click, a sliding operation on a touch screen of the electronic device, or a combination of multiple operations.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, after determining the selected area according to the position of the trigger operation, the method may further include:

step S21, displaying a first boundary and a second boundary of the selected area;

step S22, responding to the dragging operation of the first boundary and/or the second boundary, and adjusting the position of the first boundary and/or the second boundary;

and step S23, after the dragging operation is detected to stop, determining the area between the adjusted first boundary and the second boundary as a selected area.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the selected area is determined, the range of the selected area can be adjusted to increase or decrease the text content in the selected text. Further, the first boundary and the second boundary may be displayed in a form of a cursor, so as to prompt a user to adjust a range of the selected area by dragging the cursor corresponding to the first boundary and the second boundary.

The drag operation may be a move operation performed on the basis of a hold mouse click operation, or the drag operation may be a move operation performed on the basis of a hold target object press operation, or the like.

After the dragging operation is detected to stop, the area between the adjusted first boundary and the adjusted second boundary can be determined as a selected area, then the selected text in the selected area after the range is adjusted can be translated in real time, the target text unit can be identified, and the translation result of the selected text in the selected area after the range is adjusted, which corresponds to the second language, and the relevant information of the identified target text unit can be output.

By the embodiment of the invention, the selected text in the selected area can be translated in real time, the target text unit in the selected text can be automatically identified, the content of the selected text is automatically updated along with the change of the range of the selected area, and the translation result of the selected text and the identified target text unit are synchronously updated along with the update of the selected text.

In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the selected text includes, but is not limited to, any one of the following: the method comprises the steps of executing a selection operation on text content in a page to obtain a selected text, performing text recognition on a selected picture to obtain text content, and performing a selection operation on the text content in a hyperlink to obtain a selected text.

The selected text can be any text in the current interface of the electronic equipment. Such as sent text, received text, text being entered by the user via the keyboard, on-screen text, text in the translation results page, etc. in the instant messaging application interface.

In one example, a user is browsing news through a web browser in the electronic device, and when it is detected that the user presses a certain area in the page for more than a preset duration, the word-taking translation function is triggered. Specifically, the text in the long-press area of the user is determined as the selected text, and the original text and the translation result of the selected text are displayed, and the related information of the target text unit in the selected text is displayed.
