It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

Fig. 1 is a flow chart of a method for answering a question according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which may be executed by a question answering apparatus, where the apparatus may be implemented in software and/or hardware, and may be generally integrated in an electronic device. As shown in fig. 1, the method mainly includes the following steps S102 to S108:

step S102, a draft page is displayed in response to a draft calculation request initiated by a user aiming at a target question.

The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the type of the target title, such as the target title may be a subjective title or a selection title. In addition, the target title may be a title presented to the user during play of the target video, such as a title appearing in the instructional video that requires the user to provide an answer; the target question may also be a question in an electronic test paper that the user is currently answering. In the embodiment of the disclosure, a trigger key for a user to initiate a draft calculation request may be set on the interface, and when the trigger key is monitored to be triggered (such as clicked) by the user, the draft calculation request initiated by the user for the target title is confirmed to be received, so that a draft page is displayed. The target title is a title corresponding to when the user initiates the draft calculation request, and specifically, the target title may be a title displayed on a current interface when the user initiates the draft calculation request.

The embodiment of the disclosure does not limit the display form of the draft page, and the draft page can be displayed on the current interface according to the preset transparency, so that a user can directly write on the draft page and view the information of the target title on the current interface, and the current interface is not blocked by the draft page with a certain transparency, thereby being convenient for the user to calculate the draft while viewing the title.

Step S104, obtaining a writing track of a user on the draft page, and storing a target track in the writing track.

For example, a user may write on a draft page by touching with a hand or by a stylus, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the manner in which the user writes. In practical application, the writing track of the user on the draft page can be obtained in real time or according to the designated interval, and the target track in the writing track is stored. The target track can be a part of tracks in the writing track or all tracks, and can be flexibly set according to the requirements. By way of example, the target track is a track within the last specified duration in the writing track, and it can be appreciated that in general, the draft calculation results are all located at the rear position of the writing track, so that the storage cost can be effectively saved.

Step S106, under the condition that the user exits the draft page, identifying the key characters of the stored target track, and determining the draft calculation result of the target title according to the identified key characters.

In practical application, a trigger button for the user to exit the draft page can be arranged, the user can exit the draft page by triggering the trigger button, and under the condition that the user exits the draft page, the user is explained to finish the draft calculation, and at the moment, the draft calculation result of the user can be further obtained according to the stored target track. For example, the target track may be converted into a picture form, the character represented by the track in the picture is identified through OCR (optical character recognition ), the character string corresponding to the target track is parsed through a character string parsing algorithm, for example, the character string "8+2=10" may be parsed into five characters, i.e., 8, +, 2, =, 10, and further, a preset key character is identified from the parsing result, where the key character is a preset character that helps to identify the draft calculation result from the character string, and in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the specific type of the key character is not limited, such as taking the target title as an example, the key character is an equal sign. By the method, the draft calculation result can be quickly and reliably determined from the target track by identifying the key characters. In addition, if the key characters in the target track are not recognized, the subsequent processing is not performed, and the user waits for the answer to be filled in.

Step S108, executing answer filling operation for the target questions according to the draft calculation result.

Compared with the prior art that the user is required to fill out the answer by himself, the answer can be automatically filled out through identifying the obtained draft calculation result, the user does not need to additionally fill out the answer, and the answer convenience of the user is improved better. In practical application, the questions of the target questions are different in types, and the answer filling operation can also be different, for example, if the target questions are subjective questions, the draft calculation result can be directly filled in the area to be answered; while the target question is an objective question, the choice may be made from a plurality of options given by the target question according to the draft calculation result, and the above is merely an example and is not limited herein.

In summary, according to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, a user can directly perform draft calculation on line through a draft page without preparing a paper pen and switching on-line/off-line scenes; and the draft calculation result can be accurately and reliably identified according to the key characters in the writing track of the user, and the answer corresponding to the questions is automatically filled in according to the draft calculation result, so that the user does not need to fill in the answer according to the draft calculation result, the question answering process of the user is more convenient, the question answering efficiency of the user is effectively improved, and the user is ensured to have good on-line answer experience.

Further, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides the specific implementation manner of step S104, that is, the step of acquiring the writing track of the user on the draft page and saving the target track in the writing track, which may be exemplarily performed with reference to the following steps (1) and (2):

and (1) reading the writing track of the user on the draft page according to a preset time interval. In practical applications, the writing track (also referred to as draft track data) of the user may be read once every preset time interval is reached by a timer, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the time interval, such as reading the writing track every 1s by the timer. In this way, the writing track of the user can be recorded more efficiently and reliably.

Step (2), based on the writing track read each time, respectively executing a save operation until the user exits the draft page; the storage operation is used for storing target tracks in the last appointed duration in the read writing tracks, and the target tracks stored in the non-first storage operation cover the target tracks stored in the last storage operation of the non-first storage operation. Wherein, the "overlay" means that the target track saved by the last save operation of the non-first save operation is deleted, and only the target track saved by the non-first save operation is reserved. The embodiment of the disclosure does not limit the specified duration, such as the specified duration may be 10s, that is, the last 10s writing track is always saved in the above manner, and the last saved result is covered in the local cache. Specifically, the track (target track) of the last 10s of the read writing tracks is stored in the local cache each time. Illustratively, the writing track of the user on the draft page is read once every 1s, the writing track of the user is saved for 1 to 10s before the writing track is read for 11s, and the writing track of the user is covered with the writing track of the user for 1 to 10s after the writing track of the user is read for 11 s; after the 12 th s reads the writing track, the writing track of the 3 rd to the 12 th s is covered with the writing track of the 2 nd to the 11 th s, and so on until the user exits the draft page, the last 10s writing track is finally saved, for example, the user writes 50s on the draft page altogether, and finally only the 41 st to the 50 th writing track is saved, and the finally saved track is the target track.

For ease of understanding, reference may be made to a track preservation schematic as shown in fig. 2, which illustrates that draft track data (i.e. writing data) is acquired by a timer at preset time intervals (for example, 1 s), and the last 10s of draft track data is stored in the local buffer at a time. It should be noted that, in fig. 2, 2 pieces of 10s are simply illustrated, but the draft trace data corresponding to 2 pieces of 10s are not simultaneously input to the local buffer, but are stored in the local buffer sequentially through the timer, the draft trace data corresponding to the last 10s will overlap the draft trace data corresponding to the first 10s, and the data of 2 to 11s will overlap the data of 1 to 10 s.

By the method, the track with the last appointed duration in the currently obtained writing track can be always stored in the local cache, the final draft calculation result can be ensured to be obtained, and the storage resources of the local cache can be fully saved.

Further, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a specific implementation manner of the step of determining the draft calculation result of the target topic according to the identified key character in the step S106, which may be exemplarily performed with reference to the following step a and step b:

And a step a, acquiring the associated content of the identified key character in the stored target track.

As described above, the target track can be converted into a picture, and the picture is identified by the OCR technology, so as to obtain a character string in the target track, and find key characters from the character string. In particular, the associated content of the key character may be obtained first, and in some implementation examples, the associated content includes content located after the key character, and taking the example that the key character is an equal sign as the associated content, the characters after the equal sign are all taken as the associated content.

And when the number of the identified key characters is a plurality of, acquiring the associated content of the last key character according to the occurrence sequence of the key characters in the stored target track. For example, when a plurality of equal signs appear in the draft calculation process of the user, the characters after the last equal sign are acquired, so that the user can accurately acquire the draft calculation result.

And b, obtaining a draft calculation result of the target title according to the associated content. For example, the associated content may be directly as a draft calculation result.

For ease of understanding, a schematic diagram may be obtained with reference to one result shown in fig. 3, which illustrates that a target track in a local cache may be generated into a draft picture, where the draft picture simply illustrates "8+2=10" and then characters in the draft picture are identified by OCR technology to obtain a draft character string, which is an entity, so that the draft character string may be parsed and broken down into individual characters, for example, five characters in total of 8, +, 2, =, 10 for the character string "8+2=10", and by looking up key characters therein "=", characters located before "=" are ignored, and characters "10" located after "=" are taken as the obtained draft calculation result. It should be noted that fig. 3 is only a simple illustration, and in practical application, if a plurality of "=" are identified, only the content after the last equal sign is finally taken, so as to ensure that the draft calculation result is finally obtained, and not the intermediate result.

The embodiment of the present disclosure provides the specific implementation manner of the answer filling operation in step S108, that is, according to the draft calculation result, for the target question, which may be exemplarily performed with reference to the following step a and step B:

And step A, obtaining the topic type of the topic title. By way of example, the question types may include selection questions and subjective questions.

And step B, executing answer filling operation aiming at the target questions according to the draft calculation result and the questions. It can be appreciated that questions are different and the answer filling ways are different. Illustratively, the following divides the problem types into subjective and objective problems, giving two ways, respectively:

mode one: under the condition that the question type is a subjective question, the draft calculation result is filled in the to-be-answered area of the target question. For example, if the target question is a subjective blank filling question, the draft calculation result can be automatically filled in the blank filling area to be filled in.

Mode two: in the case that the question type is an objective question, a plurality of selectable items of the target question can be acquired first; then searching target selectable items matched with the draft calculation result from the plurality of selectable items; and marking the target selectable item as an answer of the target question according to a preset mode under the condition that the target selectable item is found. It will be appreciated that objective questions typically provide a user with a number of selectable options from which to choose the correct option. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the draft calculation result of the user can be directly compared with a plurality of current selectable items, target selectable items consistent with the draft calculation result are found, the target selectable items are marked as answers of target topics according to a preset mode, and the preset mode is not limited, for example, one or more of filling the identification of the target selectable items into a to-be-answered area of the target topics, marking the target selectable items in a highlight mode, selecting the target selectable items and adding underlining under the target selectable items. By the method, the user can quickly mark the options considered to be correct by the user based on the draft calculation result of the user without additional comparison.

Under the condition that the target selectable item is not found, the draft calculation result can be displayed on the current page in a floating window mode, so that a user is reminded to select an answer of the target title from a plurality of selectable items according to the draft calculation result. That is, under the condition that the draft calculation result of the user is inconsistent with all the selectable items, a certain problem may exist in the draft calculation process of the user, at this time, the draft calculation result can be displayed on the current page in a floating window mode, and the transparency of the draft calculation result can be set, so that the user can check the draft calculation result and a plurality of selectable items at the same time, assist the user to think, the user can select a target selectable item according to the draft calculation result by himself or can reinitiate the draft calculation request, and the draft page is displayed for the user, so that the user can calculate on the draft page again.

In summary, through the above way, the answer can be automatically filled according to the draft calculation result, and the user does not need to fill in the answer by himself, so that the question answering process of the user is more convenient, and the question answering efficiency of the user is effectively improved. In addition, it should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure also support the user to change the automatically filled answer, for example, the user may delete the answer filled into the area to be answered through the above-mentioned answer filling operation, and manually fill the answer again, so as to fully ensure that the filled answer meets the user's requirements.

On the basis of the foregoing, the embodiment of the disclosure further provides a flow chart of a question answering method as shown in fig. 4, which mainly includes the following steps:

step S402, playing the video for the user to watch online. The video may be, for example, a teaching video.

Step S404, in response to receiving a draft calculation request initiated by a user for a target question in the video, a draft page is displayed for the user to write on. It can be understood that there may be an interaction link, an evaluation link, etc. in the teaching video, which will show questions for the students to answer, at this time, the students can call a draft function for the questions to answer (target questions) to realize online calculation.

In step S406, the local system caches the writing track of the user at the last specified duration at any time. Such as by caching the user's writing track for the last 10 seconds at any time, without limitation.

Step S408, it is determined whether the user exits the draft page. If not, the process returns to step S406, and if yes, step S410 is performed.

In step S410, the local cache is extracted.

Step S412, OCR recognition is performed according to the writing track extracted from the local cache.

Step S414, it is determined whether an equal sign is recognized. If not, ending, and enabling the user to manually fill in the answer; if so, step S416 is performed.

Step S416, extracts the content after the last identified equal sign as the draft calculation result.

In step S418, it is determined whether the target question is an objective question or a subjective question. If the subject is an objective question, step S420 is executed, and if the subject is a subjective question, step S428 is executed: and filling the draft calculation result in the area to be answered of the target subject.

Step S420, comparing the draft calculation result with the plurality of selectable items respectively.

Step S422, it is determined whether a target option matching with the draft calculation result is found. If yes, step S424 is performed, and if no, step S426 is performed.

Step S424, marking the target selectable item as an answer of the target question according to a preset mode. The preset mode may be, for example, a highlighting mode, a hooking mode, or the like, and is not limited herein.

Step S426, the draft calculation result is displayed on the current page in a floating window mode to assist the user in selection.

In summary, through the above manner, not only can the user directly perform draft calculation on line through the draft page, but also the user is not required to prepare a paper pen and switch on-line/off-line scenes; and only the writing track with the last appointed duration can be saved, and the memory resource can be effectively saved on the basis of ensuring that the calculation result of the draft can be obtained; in addition, the draft calculation result can be accurately and reliably identified according to the equal sign in the writing track of the user, and the answer corresponding to the question is automatically filled in according to the draft calculation result and the question, so that the user does not need to fill in the answer according to the draft calculation result, the question answering process of the user is more convenient, the question answering efficiency of the user is effectively improved, and good on-line answer experience of the user is ensured.
