Alternative embodiment

The embodiment of the invention provides a method for searching for software functions, which can quickly retrieve the classification function and start the classification function (hereinafter also referred to as a software function), and enable the user to quickly find the software by using some domain knowledge, terminology and experience that he has mastered. Features and launches it. Further, the embodiment of the present invention utilizes multi-user use process data optimization supplementary function retrieval library, multi-user sharing software application accumulation, and realizes a virtuous circle of domain knowledge and software use capability improvement, thereby improving the ease of use of complex software systems. To enhance the user experience.

The method of an alternative embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:

(1) The software human-computer interaction interface (GUI) provides a search sub-window (search box, also called search Cable window), the floating type of the window, such as a strip-shaped toolbar with an input box for the sinker type. As shown in FIG. 5, a function query entry is provided in the GUI, in this case a floating status bar with input boxes and buttons in a sinking form.

(2) The user inputs words such as knowledge, rules, functions, etc., and the system starts the retrieval process. As shown in FIG. 6, the user inputs a function name, a function term, a function step, a domain knowledge term, and the like that are desired to be used, and initiates a function query.

(3) The words entered by the user in the above step are used as keyword search menus, function windows, and sub-window resource libraries, and can define matching rules, whole words, capitalization, and the like.

(4) Retrieve software functions based on keywords.

The library is formed by capturing client operations; when the software is released, the software system tester operation set is released as the initial library; the user can configure the library as an automatic learning type, so that the new user's operation is captured and stored according to the rules, priority Level adjustment sorting, etc.

(5) The search results are sorted by rules, and the rules are as follows:

The primary index is the position of the keyword in the functional complete operation sequence; the order of appearance in the secondary index operation library; the last is the integrated alphabetic order.

(6) The sorting result is presented in a pop-up window, which is a floating type, and is rendered by default on the side, as shown in FIG.

(7) The user selects a certain function sequence, and the system sends a menu click message to the GUI, and the software function is started.

Compared with the related art, the embodiment of the present invention uses a completely different approach: First, the method of providing a function item query entry and a quick activation channel in the GUI, the related art software cannot be performed, and it is necessary to manually find a menu, a sub menu, and the like. Secondly, the search function of the related art software system is for the content in the window, and does not include the function set of the menu, the window, etc., the embodiment of the present invention can effectively find more related function items; finally, the aspect of the operation function set, this The embodiment of the invention is formed by capturing the operation of the user, and the operation library is provided with mobility and learning according to the frequency of use adjustment. The operation log of the related technology is simply recording the user operation in a chronological order, and the operation log is used to check the problem. This library is used to guide and guide users to use the software. Users can face their target functions with a small amount of business knowledge and memory, which greatly improves the usability of the software.
