Embodiment 1

The first embodiment of the present invention provides a device for text reminding. The device for text reminding can be integrated into a current mobile phone or a PC. Of course, the actual application is not limited to this. All the users need to be reminded to perform the following text in combination with FIG. The reminder device describes the embodiment of the present invention in detail. As shown in FIG. 1, the text reminder device includes a word breaker, a time field analyzer, a contact field analyzer, an event field analyzer, an execution time manager, and an execution event manager.

It should be noted that each of the foregoing functional modules is only a specific implementation manner provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and the actual application is not limited to the foregoing manner. For example, you can set the execution time manager on the time field analyzer; set the time field analyzer, contact field analyzer, event field analyzer on a function module, and so on.

Based on the above functional modules, when the user needs to add a reminder, it can be in a specified format (for example, time information, space, contact information, space, event) in a smart notepad (such as a notepad of a mobile phone or a notepad of a PC). Information; or, time information, punctuation, contact information, punctuation, event information; or, time information, punctuation, event information; or, time information, spaces, event information, etc.) input original text, based on the original text, Bay' J :

A word breaker, used to perform word segmentation on the original text input by the user. The original text may include time information and event information, and after the word segmentation process, the time field and the event field may be obtained; the original text may further include time information, contact information, and event information, and after the word segmentation process, the time field may be obtained. Contact field and event field.

Therefore, for the tokenizer, the input is the original text, and the output is the time field, the contact field, Event field; or, the output is a time field, an event field. The time field will be output to the time field analyzer, the contact field will be output to the contact field analyzer, and the event field will be output to the event field analyzer.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, the original text input by the user is used as an identifier (not limited to punctuation or space) by using punctuation or space, etc., to distinguish time information, contact information, and event information in the original text, and The contact information does not necessarily appear in the original text, so when the contact information is empty, two punctuation or spaces can be continuously input after the time information to indicate that there is no contact.

In summary, the original text is input according to a specified format, and the original text includes time information, contact information, and event information, and the specified format is to separate time information, contact information, and event information by using an identifier; a word breaker, Specifically, it is used to obtain a time field, an event field, and a contact field by using an identifier in the original text.

A time field analyzer that converts a time field to a time object of the specified format (that is, a reminder time). The time object in the specified format is a time object recognizable by the system. For example, if the time field is 7:00 tomorrow, it can be converted into a system-recognizable time object: 201103191900.

Therefore, for the time field analyzer, the time field input as the word breaker output is output as a time object after analyzing the time field. Where the time object is output to the execution time manager.

A contact field parser that converts a contact field to a contact object of a specified format (that is, a specific contact). The contact object in the specified format is a contact object that the system can recognize. For example, if the contact field is for your grandfather, it can be converted into a system-recognizable contact object: Grandpa.

Therefore, for the contact field analyzer, the contact field outputted by the tokenizer is output as a contact object after analyzing the contact field. Where the contact object will be output Give the execution event manager.

An event field parser that converts an event field to an event object of the specified format (that is, an event that needs to be reminded). The event object in the specified format is a system-recognizable event object. For example, if the event field is a call, it can be converted into a system-recognizable event object: tel.

Therefore, for the event field parser, the event field that is input as a tokenizer is output as an event object after analyzing the event field. The event object is output to the execution event manager.

The execution time manager is configured to establish a reminder in the calendar application according to the time object, and when the reminder time arrives, remind the execution event manager to execute the instruction (ie, notify the execution event manager to remind the time to arrive). For example, at 201103191900, the execution of the event manager is prompted to execute the instruction.

Therefore, for the execution time manager, the input is the time object output by the time field analyzer, and the output is a registration reminder. The registration reminder will be output to the calendar. Specifically, after executing the time manager, enter the time object, register in the calendar application, and create a new reminder (such as reminder 1).

In addition, for the execution time manager, the input is also a reminder for the calendar output, and the output is an execution instruction. The execution instruction is output to the execution event manager. Specifically, when the reminder time arrives (ie, the reminder 1 arrives), the calendar application returns the reminder 1 to the execution time manager, and then executes the time manager to remind the execution event manager to execute the instruction.

The event manager is configured to output a reminder window according to the event object when the reminder time arrives. Wherein, when the original text contains contact information, the execution event manager outputs a reminder window according to the contact object and the event object; when the original text does not include the contact information, the execution event manager outputs the event object according to the event object. Reminder window; the following description takes the contact information as an example for illustration. For example, at 201103191900, the output reminder window: Grandpa, tel; that is recommended to the user "Call the grandfather", if the user confirms, the execution event manager directly calls the grandfather according to the telephone information obtained by the contact field analyzer.

Therefore, for the execution event manager, the execution instruction for entering the reminder time output by the execution time manager, the contact object output by the contact field analyzer, and the event object output by the event field analyzer are output as a reminder window. The reminder window is displayed to the user, and after the user confirms, the reminder window is executed.

In order to clarify the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the above various functional modules are described in detail below in conjunction with specific applications.

As shown in FIG. 2, it is a structural diagram of a time field analyzer including a time field parser, a time field mapping table, an adder, and a clock. It should be noted that each of the foregoing functional modules is only a specific implementation manner provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and the actual application is not limited to the above manner. Based on the time field of the word breaker output, Bay' J:

The time field parser is configured to send the time field to the time field mapping table, and receive the standard format time t corresponding to the time field returned by the time field mapping table.

Therefore, for the time field parser, the time field input as the word breaker output is output as a time field, which is output to the time field mapping table; in addition, the input is also the standard format time outputted by the time field mapping table. , the output is the standard format time t.

A time field mapping table, configured to receive a time field, convert the time field into a standard format time t recognized by the system through a mapping table, and send the standard format time t to the time field parser.

Therefore, for the time field mapping table, the input is the time field output by the time field parser, and the output is the standard format time t, which is output to the time field parser.

In the embodiment of the present invention, for the standard format time t output by the time field parser, it is also required to perform The judgment of absolute time or relative time.

Specifically, if the standard format time t is an absolute time, the standard format time t is directly output to the execution time manager as a time object; if the standard format time t is a relative time, the standard format time t is sent to the adder, The adder adds the current time to (the current time to is provided by the clock) to the standard format time t, and outputs tO+t as a time object to the execution time manager.

For example, when the time field is "three hours later", the time field analyzer first maps "three hours later" to the standard format time of 3 hours, which is the relative time; after that, the time field analyzer gets the current time as 2011. At 14:00 on March 19th, the Time Field Analyzer determines that the time object is 17:00 on March 19, 2011 (current time + 3 hours).

As shown in FIG. 3, it is a structural diagram of a contact field parser, which includes a contact field parser and an address book database. It should be noted that each of the foregoing functional modules is only a specific implementation manner provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and the actual application is not limited to the foregoing manner. Based on the contact field of the tokenizer output, Bay' J:

The contact field parser is configured to send the contact field to the address book database, and receive the contact object corresponding to the contact field returned by the address book database.

Therefore, for the contact field parser, the contact field output as the tokenizer is output as a contact field, and the contact field is output to the address book database; in addition, the contact object also outputted for the address book database is input. The output is a contact object that is output to the execution event manager.

The address book database is configured to receive a contact field, convert the contact field into a system-recognized contact object, and send the contact object to the contact field parser.

Therefore, for the address book database, enter the contact word output for the contact field parser The segment, output as a contact object, is output to the contact field parser. In the embodiment of the present invention, the address book database further needs to find the communication information corresponding to the contact field in the address book, and send the communication information to the contact field parser, and the contact field parser sends the communication information to the execution. Event manager. Thereafter, the execution event manager is further configured to communicate with the contact based on the communication information when receiving an instruction to communicate with the contact through the reminder window.

In practical applications, if the contact is not in the contact list, the communication information corresponding to the contact field cannot be obtained, and the related information is displayed to the user in the form of text when the reminder is displayed.

For example, on the basis of outputting the contact object (grandfather) to the execution event manager, it is also necessary to output the communication information of the contact object to the execution event manager. For mobile phones, the communication information can be Grandpa's mobile phone number (13800000000); for PCs, the communication information can be Grandpa's e-mail, MSN, etc., and will not be described in detail here.

As shown in FIG. 4, it is a structural diagram of an event field analyzer, which includes an event field parser and an event smart recognizer. It should be noted that each of the foregoing functional modules is only a specific implementation manner provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and the actual application is not limited to the foregoing manner. Based on the event field output by the word breaker, Bay' J:

An event field parser is configured to send an event field to the event smart recognizer, and receive an event object corresponding to the event field returned by the event smart recognizer.

Therefore, for the event field parser, the input is the event field output by the tokenizer, and the output is the event field, and the event field is output to the event smart recognizer; in addition, the input event object that is also output by the event smart recognizer is output as The event object, the event object is output to the execution event manager.

The event intelligent identifier is configured to receive an event field, convert the event field into a system-recognized event object (ie, look up an event field corresponding event), and send the event object to the event field parser. Therefore, for the event smart recognizer, the input event field output by the event field parser is output as an event object, and the event object is output to the event field parser.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, which is a schematic structural diagram of an event intelligent identifier, the event intelligent identifier includes an application category list, a specific event (function) stack list, and an event field output based on the event field parser, and a 'J:

The application category list receives the event field and queries the event field as a keyword in the respective application class, that is, the event field is used as a keyword to search for an event corresponding to the event field in the application category list.

(such as communications, securities, online banking, entertainment, etc.).

If the information represented by the event field can query and specify a specific event in the application category list, the application category list notifies the corresponding specific event, and the specific event is returned as an event object to the event field parser; if the event field is The information is insufficient to query and specify a specific event in the application category list, and the application category list queries the specific event (function) stack corresponding to the application category to which the event field belongs, the specific event at the top of the stack, the stack The top specific event is the event that returns the most in the stack, after which the specific event at the top of the stack is returned as an event object to the event field parser.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to maintain the above application category list and the specific event (function) stack list, the program of the event intelligent identifier needs to have an open interface to identify the newly added application. For example, when you need to add a CCB application, you can set the corresponding CCB credit card repayment in the specific event (function) stack list through an open interface.

In summary, by adopting the above technical solution, the execution event manager can output a reminder window according to the contact determined by the contact field analyzer and the event field analyzer when the reminder time obtained by the time field analyzer is reached. . If an instruction to communicate with a contact is received through the reminder window (For example, when the reminder is to remind the user to communicate with a specific contact, the user clicks the trigger button to send an instruction to communicate with the contact), and the execution event manager communicates with the contact according to the contact communication information sent by the contact field analyzer ( Such as making a call to a contact).

In addition, when the call instruction corresponding to the reminded event is received through the reminder window, the execution event manager also invokes the corresponding application according to the call information output by the event field analyzer. For example, the original text input by the user is credit card repayment, and the reminder event obtained by the event field analyzer is to repay the credit card to the China Merchants Bank, and after executing the event manager outputting the reminder window, receiving the trigger of the user, calling the credit card repayment of the bank. The application software performs subsequent operations.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the user needs to add a reminder, the user only needs to input a sentence in the specified format in the smart notepad, and the reminder is automatically added; when the reminder time arrives, the user may be predicted to perform the next operation. And directly call the object and method of the relevant application to obtain a UI (User Interface), recommended to the user.
