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.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and in the drawings described above are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

According to an aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a search interface presentation method is provided, and optionally, as an optional implementation manner, the search interface presentation method may be but is not limited to be applied to a search interface presentation system in a hardware environment as shown in fig. 1, where the search interface presentation system may include but is not limited to a terminal device 102, a network 104, and a server 106. A target client (shown in fig. 1 as a search input interface in the target client, in which a search input control 100 is displayed) that logs in using a user account is run in the terminal device 102. The terminal device 102 includes a human-machine interaction screen 1022, a processor 1024, and a memory 1026. The human-computer interaction screen 1022 is used for displaying the search input interface, a search result interface matched with the target keyword and a display animation corresponding to the candidate keyword; and the system is also used for providing a human-computer interaction interface to receive human-computer interaction operations (such as a confirmation operation of searching the target keywords and the like) executed on the human-computer interaction interface of the playing client. The processor 1024 is configured to generate an interaction instruction in response to the human-computer interaction operation, and send the interaction instruction to the server. The memory 108 is used for storing the target keywords and the search results matched with the target keywords.

The server 106 includes a database 1062 and a processing engine 1064, and the database 1062 is used for storing each keyword and a corresponding search result. The processing engine 1064 is used for searching for a search result matching the target keyword based on the target keyword.

The specific process comprises the following steps: in step S102, a target keyword to be searched, such as "game", is acquired from a search input control (e.g., the search input control 100 shown in fig. 1) displayed on a search input interface of a target client run by the terminal device 102. In response to the confirmation operation of searching for the target keyword, step S104 is performed, and a search request is transmitted to the server 106 through the network 104. In response to the search request, the processing engine 1064 of the server 106 executes step S106 to obtain a search result matching the target keyword from the database 1062. Then, step S108 is executed to transmit the search result to the terminal device 102. The terminal device 102 will execute step S110, and display a search result interface carrying the search result in the human-computer interaction screen 1022, and simultaneously display animations corresponding to the candidate keywords associated with the target keyword in an overlapping manner on the search result interface. The display animation is used for indicating the process animation of the candidate keywords moving according to the target track in the search result interface.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, after a target keyword to be searched is acquired from a search input control displayed on a search input interface of a target client, a search result interface matched with the target keyword is displayed in response to a confirmation operation of searching the target keyword, and display animations corresponding to candidate keywords associated with the target keyword are displayed in an overlapping manner on the search result interface. That is to say, while a search result interface matched with a target keyword is displayed, a display animation corresponding to the associated candidate keyword can be displayed in an overlapping manner on the search result interface, instead of adopting a static display mode of displaying below a blank area or a search frame or displaying in a result list mode, the display animation of the associated candidate keyword is dynamically displayed, so that the display content of the search interface is enriched, the effect of expanding the display style of the search interface is achieved, and the problem of single display style in the related art is solved.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the terminal device may be a terminal device configured with a target client, and may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: mobile phones (such as Android phones, iOS phones, etc.), notebook computers, tablet computers, palm computers, MID (Mobile Internet Devices), PAD, desktop computers, smart televisions, etc. The target client may be a video client, an instant messaging client, a browser client, an educational client, etc. that deploys a search engine. Such networks may include, but are not limited to: a wired network, a wireless network, wherein the wired network comprises: a local area network, a metropolitan area network, and a wide area network, the wireless network comprising: bluetooth, WIFI, and other networks that enable wireless communication. The server may be a single server, a server cluster composed of a plurality of servers, or a cloud server. The above is merely an example, and this is not limited in this embodiment.

Optionally, as an optional implementation manner, as shown in fig. 2, the search interface display method includes:

s202, obtaining target keywords to be searched in a search input control displayed on a search input interface of a target client;

and S204, responding to the confirmation operation of searching the target keyword, displaying a search result interface matched with the target keyword, and simultaneously superposing and displaying display animations corresponding to the candidate keywords related to the target keyword on the search result interface, wherein the display animations are used for indicating process animations of the candidate keywords moving in the search result interface according to the target track.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the search interface presentation method may be applied to, but not limited to, various clients deployed with a search engine, such as a browser client, a community shared space client, a short video playing client, a shopping application client, and the like. The search interface may be, but is not limited to, an interface presented in a search client, such as a search input interface and a search result interface. For example, taking the community shared space client as an example, the target keyword to be searched, which is input by the user, such as "rank", is obtained in a search input control (such as a search box) displayed on a search input interface of the community shared client. And displaying the display animation corresponding to the other candidate keywords associated with the ranking while displaying the search result interface matched with the target keyword. If the candidate keywords include: "cloud top ranking", "ranking top scoring", and "ranking black technology", the display animation of each of the candidate keywords may be a process animation obtained by moving according to a movement trajectory shown by a dotted line in fig. 3, and the display effect may be shown in fig. 3. Fig. 3 is an example, and the content of the target keyword, the shape of the movement track, and the search result displayed in the search result interface are not limited in any way.

It should be noted that, the candidate keywords associated with the target keyword may be determined by, but not limited to, using a logic of a related art association algorithm. For example, a plurality of candidate keywords to be searched by the current user are associated and predicted according to the target keywords input in the search input control by combining the existing search history in the big data and the popular search phrases in the current time period. Optionally, in this embodiment, a different way from the way adopted in the related art is to display the candidate keywords directly in the form of a drop-down list in the blank area below the search input control, and instead, the candidate keywords are displayed in an animation manner in an overlaid manner on the search result interface of the target keywords. Therefore, the display style of the search interface is enriched in a dynamic display mode.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the target trajectory for showing the animation may include, but is not limited to: a straight fall trajectory, a parabolic fall trajectory (both left and right), a lateral drift trajectory, a random fall trajectory, and the like. For example, as shown in fig. 4 (a), the candidate keywords fall from the upper edge to the lower edge of the search result interface according to a straight line trajectory; as shown in fig. 4 (b), the candidate keywords fall from the left edge of the search result interface to the lower edge according to a parabolic trajectory; as shown in fig. 4 (c), the candidate keywords drift from the left edge to the right edge of the search result interface according to a straight-line trajectory; as shown in fig. 4 (d), the candidate keyword falls from the upper edge to the lower edge of the search result interface according to a random curve trajectory. The track shown in fig. 4 is an example, and may further include other moving tracks moving from the first edge to the second edge, which is not described herein again.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the moving object in the presentation animation may be, but is not limited to, a search control corresponding to the candidate keyword. That is to say, after the mobile object is subjected to touch operation, the search trigger link carrying the candidate keyword in the mobile object triggers the process of searching the candidate keyword in the operated mobile object. Reference may be made specifically to the following examples:

for example, continuing the description based on the scenario shown in fig. 3, as shown in (a) in fig. 5, a click operation may be directly performed on the candidate keyword "rank black technology" displayed in the search result interface of the target keyword "rank", so as to trigger a continuous search on the candidate keyword "rank black technology", and display the search result interface shown in (b) in fig. 5.

For example, to continue with the description based on the scenario shown in fig. 3, as shown in (a) of fig. 6, a click operation may be directly performed on a touch key "search" (a key with underline as shown in the figure) of the candidate keyword "rank black technology" displayed in the search result interface of the target keyword "rank" to trigger a continuous search of the candidate keyword "rank black technology", and a search result interface as shown in (b) of fig. 6 is displayed.

Optionally, in this embodiment, when the display animation corresponding to the candidate keyword is displayed in an overlapping manner on the search result interface, the method may further include, but is not limited to: under the condition that the target client side reaches the trigger condition of the target interaction event, displaying event prompt information of the target interaction event on a search result interface; executing target operation according to the event prompt information to obtain an operation result; and under the condition that the operation result indicates that the target allocation condition is reached, allocating target virtual reward resources for the user account using the target client.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the target interaction event may be, but is not limited to, a hidden event configured in the target client, and in a scene where a certain search result interface is displayed, if it is detected that a trigger condition is reached, event prompt information of the target interaction event is triggered and displayed in the search result interface. Wherein the trigger condition may be, but is not limited to, a probabilistic trigger condition. The probabilistic trigger condition may be, but is not limited to, a probabilistic trigger threshold preset in a server corresponding to the target client. For example, after the server determines a part of search requests from all search requests triggered by each client according to the preset probability triggering threshold, when a search result interface corresponding to the part of search requests is presented, the server triggers and displays event prompt information of the target interaction event. For example, the target interaction event may be a drop event of a hidden treasure box, where the treasure box may carry virtual reward resources for the current user account.

In addition, in this embodiment, the event notification information may include, but is not limited to: a combination of one or more of text prompt information, image prompt information, or audio prompt information. The image prompt information may be, but is not limited to, an icon. For example, as shown in fig. 7, the presentation form of the event notification message 702 may be, but is not limited to, an icon in a gift box style, which is an example here, and may also be other styles such as a baby box style, and the like, which are not limited here.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the virtual reward resource may be, but is not limited to, a resource for promoting account permissions of the user account. For example, the virtual reward resource may promote a lifetime of the VIP level for the user account; skin resources of a display interface of the target client can be decorated for the user account; and may also be prop resources required by other clients associated with the user account, and the like. The content of the virtual bonus resource is not limited herein.

Through the embodiment provided by the application, the display animation corresponding to the associated candidate keyword can be displayed on the search result interface in an overlapping manner while the search result interface matched with the target keyword is displayed, instead of adopting a static display mode of displaying below a blank area or a search frame or displaying in a result list manner, the display animation of the associated candidate keyword is dynamically displayed, so that the display content of the search interface is enriched, the effect of expanding the display style of the search interface is achieved, and the problem of single display style in the related technology is solved.

As an optional scheme, displaying, in an overlapping manner, a presentation animation corresponding to each candidate keyword associated with the target keyword on the search result interface includes: and displaying a moving animation that a search control corresponding to the candidate keyword moves from a first edge to a second edge of the search result interface, wherein the search control is used for triggering search operation on the candidate keyword.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the search control may be, but is not limited to be, presented in a non-occluded manner.

It should be noted that, in the process that the search control corresponding to each of the candidate keywords moves from the first edge to the second edge on the search result interface, the plurality of search controls may sequentially and individually move, and each moving speed is configured to be the same numerical value, or each moving speed is randomly configured to be different numerical values; the plurality of search controls can also move from the first edge at the same time according to different moving speeds. Here, the plurality of search controls may not cross and interfere with each other during the moving process, and the display effect is as shown in fig. 8 (a); and may collide with each other, exhibiting the effect shown in fig. 8 (b). However, when the plurality of search controls are moved to the area near the second edge, the search controls are displayed in a non-shielding manner, so that mutual shielding is avoided.

Specifically, under the condition that the current search control moves to the area near the second edge, if it is detected that intersection contact is generated with other search controls which move to the area before, the current search control is controlled to stop moving, and the current search control and the other search controls which generate the intersection are displayed in a non-shielding manner.

Through the embodiment provided by the application, the mobile animation of the search control corresponding to each candidate keyword is displayed in the display animation, and the search control is used for triggering the direct search of the candidate keyword. When the animation display is finished, the search controls are displayed in a non-shielding mode, so that touch operation on the search controls is facilitated, and the operation difficulty of continuing searching for the candidate keywords is reduced.

As an optional scheme, after displaying the moving animation that the search control corresponding to the candidate keyword moves from the first edge to the second edge of the search result interface, the method further includes:

and S1, responding to the touch operation of the selected target search control, and displaying a search result interface matched with the candidate keywords corresponding to the target search control in the target client.

Assume that the scenario shown in fig. 6 is taken as an example for explanation: after the moving animation of the search control corresponding to each candidate keyword associated with the target keyword "rank" is finished, if a click operation is performed on the "search" key of the selected target search control "rank black technology" as shown in (a) in the figure, the click operation is responded, and a search result interface matched with the candidate keyword "rank black technology" as shown in (b) in the figure is displayed.

Through the embodiment provided by the application, the candidate keywords are displayed in the above mode, so that the display style is expanded, the interaction efficiency in a search scene is improved, and more users can be attracted to download the target client for use. In addition, the candidate keywords are displayed in the display mode, the user does not need to manually input the search again, the search operation is simplified, and the effect of improving the search efficiency is achieved.

As an optional scheme, when displaying a display animation corresponding to each candidate keyword associated with the target keyword on the search result interface in an overlapping manner, the method further includes:

s1, when the target client-side reaches the trigger condition of the target interaction event, displaying the event prompt information of the target interaction event on the search result interface;

s2, executing target operation according to the event prompt information to obtain an operation result;

and S3, under the condition that the operation result indicates that the target allocation condition is reached, allocating the target virtual reward resource for the user account using the target client.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the target interaction event may be, but not limited to, an interaction event completed through a human-computer interaction operation, so as to improve interaction efficiency in a search scene, so as to attract more users to participate in the target client. The target interaction event may be, but is not limited to, a lottery event. Correspondingly, when the operation result indicates that the lottery drawing of the user account in the lottery drawing event is successful, the target allocation condition is determined to be reached, and then the corresponding target virtual reward resource is allocated to the user account.

The lottery drawing mode of the lottery drawing event may include a plurality of different modes, for example, as an optional embodiment, when the multi-layer roulette in the front rotation stops rotating, and under the condition that the same type of object in the multi-layer roulette is located on the same straight line, it is determined that the lottery drawing of the current user account is successful, and a virtual bonus resource corresponding to the object located on the same straight line is allocated to the user account. As another optional embodiment, the current user account performs drawing on a plurality of scrolling objects in the displayed drawing pool, and if the target object is drawn, it is determined that the drawing of the current user account is successful, and then the virtual bonus resource corresponding to the target object is allocated to the user account. The lottery form here is an example, and this is not limited in this embodiment.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the target virtual reward resource may be, but is not limited to, a resource for promoting account permissions of a user account. For example, the virtual reward resource may promote a lifetime of the VIP level for the user account; skin resources of a display interface of the target client can be decorated for the user account; and may also be prop resources required by other clients associated with the user account, and the like. The content of the virtual bonus resource is not limited herein.

According to the embodiment provided by the application, under the condition that the target client side reaches the trigger condition of the target interaction event, the event prompt information of the target interaction event is displayed on the search result interface; executing target operation according to the event prompt information to obtain an operation result; and distributing the target virtual reward resource for the user account using the target client under the condition that the operation result indicates that the target distribution condition is reached. Therefore, the interaction mode is expanded on the search result interface, the interaction efficiency is improved through the target interaction event, the distributed target virtual reward resources can be obtained based on the operation result of the target interaction event, and the obtaining channel of the virtual resources is expanded.

As an optional scheme, executing the target operation according to the event prompt information, and obtaining an operation result includes:

s1, executing a first operation on the target operation area indicated by the event prompt message until the resource allocation prompt message is displayed, wherein the target operation comprises the first operation;

s2, executing a second operation according to the resource allocation prompt message, wherein the target operation comprises the second operation;

s3, the operation result is displayed in the associated area of the target operation area.

As an optional implementation, performing the first operation on the target operation region indicated by the event prompt information until the resource allocation prompt information is displayed includes: performing a touch screen long-time pressing operation on the target operation area until resource allocation prompt information is displayed, wherein the first operation comprises the touch screen long-time pressing operation; executing a second operation according to the resource allocation prompt message comprises: and executing a first touch screen releasing operation according to the resource allocation prompt information, wherein the second operation comprises the first touch screen releasing operation, and the first touch screen releasing operation indicates that the touch screen long pressing operation is finished.

Assuming that the target interaction event is exemplified by a multi-layer roulette rotation event, each layer of roulette includes a plurality of candidate objects, and roulette wheels of different layers include the same type of candidate objects. The first operation is a touch screen long-press operation as an example, and the second operation is a first touch screen release operation for ending the touch screen long-press operation as an example. The description is made in conjunction with the above hypothetical situation:

as shown in fig. 9 (a), in a case that a touch screen action is detected according to an event prompt information "gift box" icon and "long press" prompt text information in a central area (i.e., a target operation area) of a search result interface, an action duration of the touch screen action is determined, and in a case that the action duration reaches a first duration threshold, it is determined that the touch screen long press operation is performed. Further in the case where it is determined that the action time period reaches the second time period threshold value, a resource allocation prompt message is displayed as "earning after release" shown in fig. 9 (b). The first time length threshold value is used for preventing and controlling mistaken touch operation so as to ensure that the touch screen long-time pressing operation is accurately determined; and the second duration threshold is used for triggering and displaying the resource allocation prompt message.

And in the long-press state of the long-press operation of the touch screen, the multilayer wheel disc displayed in the relevant area of the target operation area is in a rotating state, wherein the rotating speed of each layer of wheel disc is different. After the first touch screen release operation (namely, the user lifts up the finger to finish the touch screen action), the multilayer roulette wheel stops rotating and displays the operation result. Assuming that the operation results are as shown in fig. 10, where the "clothing icon" representing the skin decoration is aligned (as the object in the dashed box in the figure), and successfully connected, it may be determined that the user account draws a success, and a target virtual bonus resource matching the "clothing object" such as a decorated skin used in a target client will be obtained.

As another optional implementation, performing the first operation on the target operation region indicated by the event notification information until the resource allocation notification information is displayed includes: performing a touch screen sliding operation of sliding from a first position to a second position on a target operation area according to a preset operation track, wherein when the target operation area slides to the second position, resource allocation prompt information is displayed, wherein the first operation comprises the touch screen sliding operation; executing a second operation according to the resource allocation prompt message comprises: and executing a second touch screen releasing operation according to the resource allocation prompt information, wherein the second operation comprises a second touch screen releasing operation, and the second touch screen releasing operation indicates that the touch screen sliding operation is finished.

Assuming that the target interaction event is still exemplified by a multi-layer roulette rotation event, each layer of roulette includes a plurality of candidate objects, and roulette wheels of different layers include the same type of candidate object. The first operation is, for example, a touch screen sliding operation, and the second operation is, for example, a second touch screen release operation for ending the touch screen sliding operation. The description is made in conjunction with the above hypothetical situation:

as shown in fig. 11 (a), when a touch screen action is detected in the central area (i.e., the target operation area) of the search result interface based on the event prompt information "gift box" icon and the "slide" prompt text information, the action trajectory of the touch screen action is determined, and when the selected slider (e.g., the solid raised block shown in fig. 11 (a)) slides to a predetermined position (e.g., the position of the hollow raised block shown in fig. 11 (a)), the resource allocation prompt information is determined to be displayed, and the text prompt information of "get bonus" is displayed as shown in fig. 11 (b).

In the process of sliding the sliding block, the display content of the target operation area in the search result interface changes, and a plurality of layers of roulette wheels in a rotating state are displayed, wherein the rotating speed of each layer of roulette wheel is different. After the second touch screen release operation (namely, the user lifts up the finger to finish the touch screen action) is executed, the multilayer roulette wheel stops rotating, and an operation result is displayed. Assuming the result of the operation is shown in fig. 10, where the "clothing object" is aligned (as the object within the dashed box in the figure), and successfully connected, it may be determined that the user account drawing a lottery was successful, and a target virtual bonus resource matching the "clothing object" will be obtained, such as a cosmetic skin used in the target client.

According to the embodiment provided by the application, the target interaction event is completed through a group of operation combinations, the operation result is obtained, whether the target allocation condition for acquiring the target virtual reward resource is met or not is determined according to the operation result, and the target virtual reward resource is allocated to the user account when the target allocation condition is met. Therefore, the interaction efficiency under the search scene is improved through the man-machine interaction operation, and the effect of displaying the style of the search result interface is enriched.

As an optional scheme, in the process of performing the first operation on the target operation area indicated by the event notification information, the method further includes: displaying a related area of target operation simultaneously when resource allocation prompt information is displayed, wherein multiple layers of wheel discs in a rotating state are displayed in the related area, each layer of wheel disc comprises multiple candidate objects, and wheel discs in different layers comprise the same type of candidate objects;

when the second operation is executed according to the resource allocation prompt message, the method further comprises the following steps: controlling the multilayer wheel disc in the associated area to stop rotating, and adjusting the state of the multilayer wheel disc from a rotating state to a pause rotating state;

displaying the operation result in the associated area of the target operation area comprises: and under the condition that object connecting lines appear in the multilayer roulette wheel in the rotation suspending state, determining that the operation result is that the target distribution condition is reached, wherein the object connecting lines indicate that the candidate objects of the same type in different layers of roulette wheels in the multilayer roulette wheel are on the same straight line.

Assume that, as shown in fig. 9, the target interaction event is exemplified by a multi-layer roulette rotation event, each layer of roulette includes a plurality of candidate objects, and roulette of different layers includes the same type of candidate object.

As shown in fig. 9 (a), an event prompt information "gift box" icon and a "long press" prompt text message are displayed in a central area (i.e., a target operation area) of the search result interface, an operation duration of the touch screen long press operation is further determined in a case where the touch screen long press operation is detected, and resource allocation prompt information is displayed in a case where the operation duration reaches a duration threshold, as shown in fig. 9 (b) "obtain reward after release".

When the resource allocation prompt message is displayed, a plurality of layers of roulette wheels (three layers of roulette wheels as shown in the figure) are displayed in a related region (a circular ring region outside a central region as shown in (b) of fig. 9) of the target operation region, where each layer of roulette wheel includes a plurality of candidate objects, and for example, the candidate objects may be: an airplane icon object for indicating game items, a VIP text object for also VIP privileges, a clothing icon object for representing skin ornamentation, and the like. The same type of candidate object is included in different layers of the roulette.

The candidate keywords associated with the target keyword are referred to as associated keywords. The target interaction event is exemplified by a treasure box lottery event.

In steps S1502-S1504, a search box in the search input interface is clicked and text (i.e., target keywords) is entered within the search box. Then, step S1506 is executed to determine whether the target key has an associated keyword. In the case where it is determined that there is an associated keyword, step S1508 is executed to display the dropped associated keyword in the search result interface.

In step S1510-1, it is detected whether the user performs a click operation on the dropped associated keyword, and if the click operation is detected, in step S1512-1, a search result interface corresponding to the clicked associated keyword is displayed. If the click operation is not detected, the process returns to step S1506.

After displaying the dropped associated keyword in the search result interface, it is determined whether a treasure box (lottery event)? If the trigger condition is met, step S1512-2 is executed to display the treasure box, and if the trigger condition is not met, the step S1508 is returned to.

After the treasure box appears, a long press operation on the treasure box is detected as by step S1514 until a rotating lottery wheel disc appears. Then, in step S1516, if the stop long press operation is detected, the roulette wheel is controlled to stop rotating, and a lottery result occurs.

In step S1518, is it determined whether a prize is won according to the lottery result? In the case where a prize is determined, a prize is prompted as by step S1520-1; and in the case of no win, a win is prompted as by step S1520-2.

In the case of a loser, step S1510-1 may be further performed to detect whether the user performs a click operation on the dropped associated keyword.
