Background technique

With the continuous development of information technology and the widespread application of smart terminal devices, obtaining information through search engines is becoming more and more common.

Detailed ways

As the types of terminal devices become more and more abundant and the user groups become more and more diversified, the number and types of terminal devices owned by users are also increasing. Usually, a user usually owns multiple different types of terminal devices. For example, a user owns multiple different types of terminal devices such as mobile phones, tablets, smart wearable devices, and smart screens.

In a multi-terminal collaboration scenario, users can display the search results of a terminal device on another terminal device through screen projection.

Exemplarily, referring to the schematic diagram of the collaborative scene of the mobile phone and the smart screen shown in FIG1, after the user clicks the browser 112 in the main interface 111, the mobile phone 11 responds to the click operation and displays the browser interface; the user enters the search keyword "love sports" in the search box 113 of the browser interface, and then triggers the mobile phone 11 to search by pressing the enter button or the search button, etc., and the mobile phone 11 sends a search request to the cloud server 13, and the search request carries the search keyword "love sports"; the cloud server 13 responds to the search request from the mobile phone 11, obtains the search results, and returns the search results to the mobile phone 11, and the search results include multiple candidate results and natural sorting. The mobile phone 11 receives the search results from the cloud server 13, and displays the multiple candidate results on the search results page 114 according to the natural sorting. As shown in FIG1, the search results page 114 displays candidate results such as the "Love Sports" TV series and the "Love Sports Ratings" news.

The user can find the candidate results of the TV series "Loving Sports" from the search results page 114, open the TV series on the mobile phone 11, and then project the screen to the smart screen 12 through short-range communication. Short-range communication methods include but are not limited to Bluetooth, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) and Near Field Communication (NFC). The smart screen 12 displays the projection interface 121 according to the projection data stream from the mobile phone 11. In this way, the user can display the search results of the mobile phone 11 on the smart screen 12.

However, in the above scheme, when the terminal device displays the search results, it only displays the candidate results in natural order, without considering the matching degree between each candidate result and the terminal device. This may cause the candidate results required by the user to be ranked at the back, and the correspondence between the candidate results and the terminal device is not displayed on the search results page, which makes it impossible for the user to obtain the candidate results suitable for the terminal device from the search results, resulting in a poor user experience.

In response to the above-mentioned problem that users cannot obtain candidate results suitable for terminal devices and have poor user experience, the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application filters out target candidate results suitable for terminal devices from the search results based on the information of the terminal device, and displays the target candidate results suitable for the terminal device, so that users can better obtain candidate results suitable for the terminal device based on the target candidate results for each terminal device displayed, and the user experience is better.

In the following description, for the purpose of explanation rather than limitation, specific details such as specific system structures and technologies are provided to facilitate a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application.

The following is an exemplary introduction to the system architecture that may be involved in the embodiments of the present application.

2 is a schematic block diagram of a search system provided in an embodiment of the present application, the search system includes a first terminal device 100 and at least one second terminal device 200. The first terminal device 100 can be used as a master terminal of the search system, and the second terminal device 200 can be used as a slave terminal of the search system.

The first terminal device 100 may be, but is not limited to: a mobile phone, a tablet, a personal computer, a smart screen, an ink screen, a smart wearable device, or a smart speaker, etc. The second terminal device 200 may be, but is not limited to: a mobile phone, a tablet, a personal computer, a smart screen, an ink screen, a smart wearable device, or a smart speaker, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific types of the first terminal device 100 and the second terminal device 200.

The first terminal device 100 can communicate with the second terminal device 200. The communication method between the first terminal device 100 and the second terminal device 200 can be short-range wireless communication, such as classic Bluetooth, low-power Bluetooth, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), Ultra Wide Band (UWB) and Near Field Communication (NFC), etc.; it can also be wired communication or long-range wireless communication (such as mobile communication). It is understandable that the device types of the first terminal device 100 and the second terminal device 200 are different, and the communication method may be different accordingly. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the communication method between the first terminal device 100 and the second terminal device 200.

Exemplarily, the first terminal device 100 is a mobile phone, and the search system includes multiple second terminal devices 200, which are ink screens, smart speakers, and smart screens. The communication method between the mobile phone and the smart speaker is low-power Bluetooth, the communication method between the mobile phone and the smart screen is Wi-Fi point-to-point connection, and the communication method between the mobile phone and the ink screen is low-power Bluetooth.

After introducing the system architecture that may be involved in the embodiments of the present application, the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application is introduced and explained below using the system architecture shown above as an example.

The first terminal device 100 obtains the search information and sends a search request to the cloud server, where the search request carries the search information.

The search information is usually input by the user to the first terminal device 100. In a specific application, the search information may be information input by the user in a search box or a search window, that is, the first terminal device 100 may obtain the above search information by obtaining the information input by the user in the search box or the search window. For example, as shown in FIG1 , after the user enters "love sports" in the search box 113 of the mobile phone 11, the search information obtained by the mobile phone 11 is "love sports".

The search information may also be information input by the user to the first terminal device 100 through voice. For example, after the user wakes up the mobile phone voice assistant "Xiaoyi" through the wake-up word "Xiaoyi Xiaoyi", the user inputs the voice "search for love of sports" into the mobile phone. At this time, the mobile phone performs voice recognition and other processing operations on the voice "search for love of sports" to obtain the search information "love of sports". The embodiment of the present application does not limit the way in which the first terminal device 100 obtains the search information.

In addition to the search information, the search request may also carry the device type information of each second terminal device 200. In other words, the search request may carry both the search information and the device type information of each second terminal device 200. At this time, after obtaining the search information, the first terminal device 100 sends a search request carrying the search information and the device type information of each second terminal device 200 to the cloud server.

The device type information is used to describe the device type of the second terminal device 200. Exemplarily, the device types include mobile phones, smart screens, speakers, ink screens, car machines, smart headphones, smart watches/smart bracelets, tablet computers, personal computers, virtual reality (VR)/augmented reality (AR)/mixed reality (MR) devices, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The present application embodiment does not limit the division of device types. For example, the devices can be divided into screen devices and screenless devices according to whether they have a screen, that is, the device types include screen devices and screenless devices.

When the search request carries the device type information of the second terminal device 200 , the first terminal device 100 needs to obtain the device type information of the second terminal device 200 in addition to the search information.

In one implementation, the first terminal device 100 can obtain the device type information of the second terminal device 200 in real time. At this time, after obtaining the search information, the first terminal device 100 sends a request to the second terminal device 200, and the request is used to obtain the device information; the second terminal device 200 responds to the request and sends its own device information to the first terminal device 100. The device information may only include the device type information. Of course, in addition to the device type information, the device information may also include other information (for example, device parameter information). The device parameter information is used to describe the parameters of the second terminal device 200. Exemplarily, the parameter information of the second terminal device 200 includes, but is not limited to, information such as resolution and size.

In another implementation, the first terminal device 100 may also obtain the device information of the second terminal device 200 in advance, that is, before obtaining the search information, the first terminal device 100 obtains the device information of each second terminal device 200 and stores the device information of each second terminal device 200 locally.

When the first terminal device 100 obtains the device information of the second terminal device 200 in advance, the second terminal device 200 can actively send its own device information to the first terminal device 100 regularly or periodically. Alternatively, the first terminal device 100 can also send a request to the second terminal device 200 regularly or periodically, so that the second terminal device 200 responds to the request and synchronizes its own device information to the first terminal device 100. Alternatively, after the second terminal device 200 synchronizes its own device information to the first terminal device 100, when it detects a change in its own device information, it can actively synchronize the updated device information or the changed information to the first terminal device 100. For example, when the first terminal device 100 and the second terminal device 200 establish a communication connection for the first time, the second terminal device 200 sends a request to the second terminal device 200 regularly or periodically, so that the second terminal device 200 responds to the request and synchronizes its own device information to the first terminal device 100. The first terminal device 200 actively sends its own device information to the first terminal device 100, or the first terminal device 100 requests the second terminal device 200 to obtain device information. After the first terminal device 100 obtains the device information of the second terminal device 200, it persistently stores the device information of the second terminal device 200. When the second terminal device 200 detects a change in the sending of its own device information, it actively sends the changed device information or the changed information to the first terminal device 100.

After the first terminal device 100 sends a search request to the cloud server, the cloud server may receive the search request from the first terminal device 100 and, in response to the search request, return search results to the first terminal device 100. The search results include at least one candidate result and a natural ranking.

Exemplarily, the cloud server may include a search aggregation module and a search engine. The search aggregation module may request the search engine to perform a search based on a search request. The search engine responds to the request of the search aggregation module, performs a search based on the search information, obtains a candidate result set, and returns the retrieved candidate result set to the search aggregation module. The candidate result set includes at least one candidate result.

When the search request does not carry the device type information of the second terminal device 200, after the search aggregation module receives the candidate result set returned by the search engine, it can aggregate and sort the candidate results in the candidate result set based on the amount of information and the natural sorting template to obtain the search results. The search results include the sorted candidate results.

When the search request carries the device type information of the second terminal device 200, the search aggregation module can sort the candidate results in the candidate result set based on the information volume and the natural sorting template in combination with the type information of the second terminal device 200 to obtain the search results. In other words, the device type information carried by the search request can be used to aggregate and sort the results returned by each search engine.

After the first terminal device 100 receives the search result returned by the cloud server, it determines the target candidate results of each second terminal device 200 and displays the target candidate results of each second terminal device 200.

The target candidate result is a candidate result screened from the search results according to the information of the second terminal device 200. The target candidate result may refer to one candidate result or a candidate result set consisting of at least two candidate results, that is, the target candidate result may include at least two candidate results.

The information of the second terminal device 200 includes device information, or includes device information and user behavior data. The device information includes device type information, or includes device type information and device parameter information.

User behavior data refers to the usage behavior data of the user on the second terminal device 200. The user behavior data can describe the usage time and operation events of the user on the second terminal device 200. Through the user behavior data, information such as user behavior habits, usage time and preferences can be obtained.

In a specific application, for each second terminal device 200, the user's usage behavior data on the second terminal device 200 can be recorded every day to obtain the user behavior data of the second terminal device 200. For example, at 19:10 in the evening, the user turns on the smart screen to watch a TV series. After the smart screen detects the user's power-on operation, it records a piece of usage behavior data, the usage time of which is 19:10 in the evening, and the operation event is power-on.

In one implementation, the first terminal device 100 may simply map the candidate result type with the device type of the second terminal device 200 to determine the target candidate result of each second terminal device 200. The device type of the second terminal device 200 may be obtained through the device type information of the second terminal device 200.

The mapping process can be performed on the first terminal device 100 side as well as on the second terminal device 200 side. At this time, after the first terminal device 100 obtains the search results, it sends a candidate result set to each second terminal device 200, and the candidate result set includes the candidate results. The second terminal device 200 maps the candidate result type and the device type according to the candidate result set and its own device information to obtain the target candidate result, and returns the target candidate result to the first terminal device 100. In this way, the first terminal device 100 can obtain the target candidate results of each second terminal device 200.

The candidate result types may include, but are not limited to, videos, news, e-books, web pages, pictures, and songs.

Exemplarily, candidate results belonging to the video type are mapped to the smart screen, that is, the candidate results belonging to the video type are determined as the target candidate results for the smart screen. Candidate results belonging to the news type and the e-book type are mapped to the ink screen or tablet computer, that is, the candidate results belonging to the news type and the e-book type are determined as the target candidate results for the ink screen or tablet computer. Candidate results belonging to the song type or the audio type are mapped to the speaker, that is, the candidate results belonging to the song type or the audio type are determined as the target candidate results for the speaker.

However, if only a simple mapping is performed based on the candidate result type and the device type, it is impossible to select the optimal presentation method for the candidate result based on the user's usage behavior habits, that is, it is impossible to determine on which second terminal device 200 the candidate result is most suitable for presentation. When there are multiple second terminal devices 200 of the same device type, it is impossible to determine a suitable target candidate result for each second terminal device 200, and the target candidate results of multiple terminal devices of the same device type may be the same. For example, the search system includes smart screen 1 and smart screen 2. If a simple mapping is performed based on the candidate result type and the device type, since smart screen 1 and smart screen 2 have the same device type, the target candidate results of the two devices are the same.

In another implementation, each candidate result may be scored based on at least one of the device information and user behavior data of the second terminal device 200 to obtain a scoring result of each second terminal device 200, and the target candidate result of each second terminal device 200 is determined based on the scoring result of each second terminal device 200. The scoring result includes the score of each candidate result. The following is an introduction using scoring based on device information and user behavior data as an example.

In a specific application, the process of scoring each candidate result according to the device information and user behavior data of the second terminal device 200 can be performed on the first terminal device 100 side or on the second terminal device 200 side.

When the scoring process is performed on the second terminal device 200 side, after the first terminal device 100 receives the search results returned by the cloud server, it can send a candidate result set to each second terminal device 200, and the candidate result set includes all the candidate results in the search results. After receiving the candidate result set, the second terminal device 200 scores each candidate result in the candidate result set according to its own device information and user behavior data, obtains the score of each candidate result, and then obtains the scoring result.

After obtaining the scoring result, the second terminal device 200 may return the scoring result to the first terminal device 100. At this time, the first terminal device 100 may receive the scoring results returned by each second terminal device 200, and determine the target candidate results of each second terminal device 200 according to the scoring results of each second terminal device 200.

Of course, after obtaining the scoring result, the second terminal device 200 may also determine the target candidate result from the candidate result set according to the scoring result, and return the target candidate result or information used to describe the target candidate result to the first terminal device 100 .

The first terminal device 100 can determine the target candidate result described by the information for describing the target candidate result, and then determine the target candidate result of the second terminal device 200. Exemplarily, the information used to describe the target candidate result is sorting information, and the sorting information is used to describe the sequence number of the target candidate result in the natural sorting. For example, the smart screen determines that the 10th candidate result in the natural sorting is the target candidate result based on the scoring result, and then returns "No. 10" as the information used to describe the target candidate result to the mobile phone, and the mobile phone determines the 10th candidate result in the natural sorting as the target candidate result of the smart screen.

When the scoring process is performed on the first terminal device 100 side, the first terminal device 100 can score each candidate result for each second terminal device 200 according to the device information and user behavior data of the second terminal device 200 to obtain the scoring result of the second terminal device 200. At this time, each second terminal device 200 can synchronize the device information and user behavior data to the first terminal device 100, and the user behavior data can be synchronized to the first terminal device 100 along with the device information. For example, after the first terminal device 100 obtains the search information, it requests each second terminal device 200 to obtain the device information and user behavior data, and the second terminal device 200 synchronizes the device information and user behavior data to the first terminal device 100 in response to the request.

That is, the first terminal device 100 can score each candidate result locally, or send the candidate result set to each second terminal device 200, and each second terminal device 200 scores each candidate result. In comparison, scoring each candidate result by each second terminal device 200 can make full use of the computing resources of each second terminal device 200, reducing the computing resource overhead of the first terminal device 100.

Of course, the scoring process can also be performed on the cloud server side. At this time, the first terminal device 100 can send the device information and user behavior data of each second terminal device 200 to the cloud server, and the device information and user behavior data of the second terminal device 200 can be carried in the search request or can be independent of the search request.

The cloud server can respond to the search request, obtain the search results, and after naturally sorting the search results, score each candidate result for each second terminal device 200 according to the device information and user behavior data of the second terminal device 200 to obtain the scoring result of the second terminal device 200. Finally, the cloud server determines the target candidate result of each second terminal device 200 according to the scoring results of each second terminal device 200, and returns the target candidate result to the first terminal device 100. Alternatively, after obtaining the scoring results of each second terminal device 200, the cloud server directly returns the scoring results to the first terminal device 100, and the first terminal device 100 determines the target candidate result according to the scoring results.

Exemplarily, the first terminal device 100, the second terminal device 200 or the cloud server can score each candidate result through the scoring model. At this time, for each second terminal device 200, the device information, user behavior data and candidate result set of the second terminal device 200 are used as inputs of the scoring model, and the scoring result is used as output of the scoring model.

For example, referring to the schematic diagram of the scoring process shown in FIG3 , the scoring model includes a transformer model, a deep computing The input of the scoring model includes user behavior data, device information, and a set of candidate results, and the output is the scoring result.

Among them, user behavior data and device information are converted into a feature vector after passing through the transformer model and the deep computing layer; the candidate result set is converted into a feature vector after passing through the transformer model and the deep computing layer; the matching layer matches and compares the two feature vectors, obtains the score of each candidate result, and outputs the score result.

The scoring model is a pre-trained model. During the training process, a training data set is constructed by collecting user behavior data of a large number of users and device information of the terminal devices used by the users, and the scoring model is trained using the constructed training data set. The training data set includes user behavior data and device information of each terminal device, and the device information includes device type information and device parameter information.

It is worth pointing out that when training the model, user behavior data and device information are used as model inputs, so that the model can learn from a large amount of user behavior data, and then more accurately judge the user's usage behavior habits, that is, more accurately judge the terminal devices that users tend to use at various time points, and the operation events that tend to be on the terminal device types, etc.; and, based on the usage behavior habits of a large number of users, it can be inferred that different candidate results are suitable for displaying terminal devices.

Compared with determining the target candidate results through simple mapping, scoring each candidate result according to the device information and user behavior data, and determining the target candidate result according to the scoring result, the optimal presentation method can be selected for the candidate results according to the user's usage behavior habits, that is, a more suitable second terminal device 200 can be selected for the candidate results according to the user's usage behavior habits. In addition, when there are multiple second terminal devices 200 of the same device type, since the user behavior data on different devices are different, the target candidate results determined according to the user behavior data are likely to be different. Therefore, the probability of the same target candidate results for multiple terminal devices of the same device type is low.

The score of each candidate result in the scoring result can represent the degree of matching between the candidate result and the second terminal device 200. The higher the score, the higher the matching degree, and vice versa, the lower the score, the lower the matching degree.

In a specific application, after obtaining the scoring results of each second terminal device 200, for the scoring results of each second terminal device 200, the candidate result with the largest score in the scoring results can be used as the target candidate result, or the candidate result with a score greater than a preset threshold in the scoring results can be used as the target candidate result. The preset threshold can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

For example, the second terminal device 200 is a smart screen, the first terminal device 100 is a mobile phone, and the candidate result set includes three candidate results, namely, news candidate results, video candidate results, and novel candidate results. After the smart screen or mobile phone scores each candidate result in the candidate result set based on the user behavior data and device information of the smart screen, the TV series candidate result has the highest score, that is, the TV series candidate result has the highest degree of match with the smart screen, and the TV series candidate result is determined as the target candidate result of the smart screen.

After the first terminal device 100 determines the target candidate results of each second terminal device 200, each target candidate result is displayed. Specifically, the first terminal device 100 can display each target candidate result on the screen, can display each target candidate result by voice broadcast, or can display the target candidate result on the screen and broadcast the target candidate result by voice. The display method of the target candidate result is not limited here.

When the first terminal device 100 displays each target candidate result on the screen, the target candidate result can be displayed in a preset form, and the second terminal device corresponding to each target candidate result can be displayed, that is, the target candidate result is displayed in a preset form, and the information of the second terminal device 200 corresponding to each target candidate result is displayed in a certain form. For example, the target candidate result is displayed in a preset form on the search result page, and the name of the second terminal device 200 is displayed after the target candidate result, so that the user can intuitively obtain the candidate result suitable for the second terminal device 200 on the search result page.

The preset forms include, but are not limited to: different fonts, controls, and pop-up windows. Different fonts refer to displaying the target candidate results in a font different from the non-target candidate results, that is, the font of the non-target candidate results is different from the font of the target candidate results. The difference in fonts can be specifically reflected in at least one difference in font size, font style, and font type. In addition, in addition to the different fonts between the non-target candidate results and the target candidate results, the fonts between the target candidate results may be the same or different. For example, the font of the target candidate results is bold, and the font of the non-target candidate results is not bold.

Pop-up window refers to displaying each target candidate result in a pop-up window. For example, a floating window is displayed on the search results page, and each target candidate result is displayed in the floating window.

A control refers to displaying each target candidate result in the form of a control, and each target candidate result corresponds to a control. Each control may include first information and/or second information. The first information is used to describe the target candidate result, and the second information is used to describe the second terminal device.

Exemplarily, referring to the candidate result display diagram shown in FIG4A , the first terminal device 100 is a mobile phone 41, and the smart screen, ink screen and speaker are the second terminal device 200. The search result page 411 of the mobile phone 41 includes a search box 412, a control 413, a control 414 and a control 415, and the search keyword in the search box 412 is "XXX".

Mobile phone 41 determines that the target candidate result for the smart screen is "XXX TV series", the target candidate result for the ink screen is "XXX novel", and the target candidate result for the speaker is "XXX theme song". Control 413 displays "XXX TV series, go to the smart screen to watch", at this time "XXX TV series" is the first information used to describe the target candidate result, and "go to the smart screen to watch" is the second information used to describe the second terminal device 200. Similarly, control 414 displays "XXX novel, go to the ink screen to read", and control 415 displays "XXX theme song, go to the speaker to play".

Generally, the scores of the same candidate result for the second terminal devices 200 of the same type are different, and therefore, the target candidate results of the same type of second terminal devices 200 are different. However, in some cases, if the target candidate results of the same type of second terminal devices 200 are the same, when the target candidate results are displayed in the form of controls, options can be displayed for the user to select.

For example, referring to the candidate result display schematic diagram shown in FIG4B , based on the scenario of FIG4A , a control 416 is displayed on the search result page 411 , and the control 416 displays “XXX TV series, watch on the smart screen”, and also displays two options “large screen device 1” and “large screen device 2”. That is, the target candidate results of large screen device 1 and large screen device 2 are the same, both of which are “XXX TV series”. At this time, when the target candidate result is displayed, two options are provided for the user to choose.

The first terminal device 100 may display only the target candidate results, or may display the target candidate results and non-target candidate results. Non-target candidate results refer to candidate results that are not target candidate results. Usually, candidate results other than the target candidate results in the search results are regarded as non-target candidate results.

When a search result page displays both target candidate results and non-target candidate results, in order to further enable the user to quickly and accurately obtain candidate results suitable for the second terminal device 200, the target candidate results may be displayed before the non-target candidate results.

For example, referring to the candidate result display schematic diagram shown in FIG5 , a mobile phone 51 displays a search result page 511, and the search result page 511 includes a search box 512, a control 513, a control 514, and a control 515. Among them, controls 513 to 515 are controls corresponding to the target candidate results, and these controls display information about the target candidate results and the corresponding terminal device. In addition, the search result page 511 also displays other candidate results such as "actor list" and "how is the ratings of love sports".

As shown in FIG5 , the display positions of controls 513 to 515 on search result page 511 are higher than the display positions of other candidate results such as “actors” and “how is the ratings of sports lovers”. In this way, the user can intuitively, quickly and accurately obtain candidate results suitable for other terminal devices from the target candidate results displayed at the front.

Of course, it is not necessary to intentionally display the target candidate results before the non-target candidate results. In this case, the candidate results can be displayed in a natural order. In order to allow the user to distinguish the target candidate results, the target candidate results can be displayed in a preset form to distinguish the target candidate results from the non-target candidate results, so that the user can better obtain the target candidate results suitable for each second terminal device 200.

When the target candidate results are displayed in the front, the first terminal device 100 can display non-target candidate results according to the natural sorting. At this time, since the target candidate results are displayed in the front in the form of a control, in order not to repeatedly display the target candidate results, the target candidate results can be removed from the search results, and then the remaining candidate results can be displayed in sequence on the search results page according to the natural sorting. For example, the search results include candidate results A, candidate results B, candidate results C, and candidate results D, and the natural sorting of candidate results A to candidate results D is 1st to 4th. Candidate result C is the target candidate result. Candidate result C is displayed in the form of a control on the search results page, and candidate results A, candidate result B, and candidate result D are displayed in sequence behind the control of candidate result C.

Of course, the target candidate results can also be displayed repeatedly. At this time, after the target candidate results are displayed in the form of a control in front, the target candidate results can be displayed directly in the natural order instead of being removed from the search results. For example, the search results include candidate results A, candidate results B, candidate results C, and candidate results D, and the natural order of candidate results A to candidate results D is 1st to 4th. Candidate result C is the target candidate result. Candidate result C is displayed in the form of a control on the search results page, and behind the control of candidate result C, candidate results A, candidate result B, candidate result C, and candidate result D are displayed in sequence.

In addition to displaying the target candidate results of each second terminal device 200, the first terminal device 100 can also distribute the target candidate results of each second terminal device 200 to the corresponding second terminal device 200. In a specific application, the first terminal device 100 can distribute the target candidate results to the corresponding second terminal device 200 before or after displaying each target candidate result, or can distribute the target candidate results to the corresponding second terminal device 200 while displaying the target candidate results.

When distributing target candidate results, the first terminal device 100 may actively or passively distribute the corresponding target candidate results to each second terminal device 200 .

That is, after determining the target candidate result or displaying the target candidate result, the first terminal device 100 can actively send the target candidate result or information used to describe the target candidate result to each second terminal device 200. After receiving the target candidate result or information used to describe the target candidate result, each second terminal device 200 can display the target candidate result.

In order to improve user experience, when actively distributing target candidate results, the first terminal device 100 may also distribute the target candidate results to the second terminal devices 200 according to the device status information of each second terminal device.

The device status information is used to describe the status of the second terminal device 200. Exemplarily, the status types of the second terminal device 200 include standby status, viewing status, screen-on status, screen-off status, and the like.

It is understandable that the state type of the second terminal device 200 may be different depending on the device type of the second terminal device 200. For example, for a smart screen, its state type may include a standby state and a viewing state, and the viewing state means that the user is using the smart screen to watch videos and audio, etc.; for an ink screen, its state type may include a screen-on state and a screen-off state.

It is understandable that the first terminal device 100 stores the device status information of each second terminal device 200. The device status information may be pre-synchronized from each second terminal device 200 to the first terminal device 100. For example, when the first terminal device 100 requests device information from each second terminal device 200, the second terminal device 200 may synchronize its own device status information to the first terminal device 100 in addition to synchronizing the device information and user behavior data to the first terminal device 100.

When the first terminal device 100 distributes target candidate results to each second terminal device 200, the current state of each second terminal device 200 can be determined based on the device state information of each second terminal device 200. If the current state of a second terminal device 200 is the first state, the first terminal device 100 considers that the corresponding target candidate result can be sent to the second terminal device 200, and instructs the second terminal device 200 to directly display the target candidate result. If the current state of a second terminal device 200 is the second state, the corresponding target candidate result is sent to the second terminal device 200, and before instructing the second terminal device 200 to display the target candidate result, prompt information is displayed to prompt the user whether to display the target candidate result.

The type of the second terminal device 200 is different, and the above-mentioned first state and second state may be different. For example, when the second terminal device 200 is a smart screen, the first state is the standby state, and the second state is the viewing state. That is, when it is determined that the smart screen is currently in the standby state, the target candidate results corresponding to the smart screen are sent to the smart screen, and the smart screen is instructed to directly display the target candidate results. If it is determined that the smart screen is not currently in the standby state but in the viewing state, the corresponding target candidate results are sent to the smart screen, and the user is instructed to display a prompt message to prompt the user whether to display the target candidate results.

Of course, when distributing target candidate results, it is also possible to ignore the device status information of each second terminal device 200 and instead distribute the corresponding target candidate results to each second terminal device 200 and instruct each second terminal device 200 to directly display each target candidate result.

As described above, the first terminal device 100 can actively distribute target candidate results to the second terminal device 200, or passively distribute target candidate results to the second terminal device 200. At this time, the first terminal device 100 can distribute target candidate results to the corresponding second terminal device 200 after receiving a trigger instruction input from the outside.

Exemplarily, the trigger instruction is a user's click instruction for the control of the target candidate result, that is, after the first terminal device 100 detects the click operation on the control, it sends the corresponding target candidate result to the second terminal device 200 corresponding to the control. Referring to the multi-terminal collaboration schematic diagram shown in FIG6A, the mobile phone 61 is the first terminal device 100, and the smart screen 62, the ink screen 63 and the speaker 64 are the second terminal device 200. The search result page 611 of the mobile phone 61 includes a search box 612, a control 613 and a control 614, the control 613 corresponds to the smart screen 62, and the control 614 corresponds to the ink screen 63.

The mobile phone 61 can coordinate the display of the search results on the smart screen 62, coordinate the display of the searched electronic books on the ink screen, and coordinate the playback of the searched audio content on the speaker.

Specifically, after the user enters "XXX" in the search box 612, the mobile phone 61 sends a search request to the cloud server according to the information entered by the user, and obtains the search results returned by the cloud server, which include at least one candidate result. Then, the mobile phone 61 sends the candidate result set to the smart screen 62, the ink screen 63 and the speaker 64.

After receiving the candidate result set sent by the mobile phone 61, the smart screen 62 scores each candidate result according to its own device type information, device parameter information, and user behavior data, obtains a scoring result, and returns the scoring result to the mobile phone 61. Similarly, the ink screen 63 and the speaker 64 score each candidate result according to their own device information and user behavior data, and return the obtained scoring result to the mobile phone 61.

After receiving the scoring results of the smart screen 62, the ink screen 63 and the speaker 64, the mobile phone 61 determines the candidate result with the highest score in the scoring results of the smart screen 62 as the target candidate result of the smart screen 62. Similarly, the candidate result with the highest score in the scoring results of the ink screen 63 is determined as the target candidate result of the ink screen 63, and the candidate result with the highest score in the scoring results of the speaker 64 is determined as the target candidate result of the speaker 64. As shown in FIG6A , the target candidate result of the smart screen 62 is “XXX TV series”, the target candidate result of the ink screen 63 is “XXX novel”, and the target candidate result of the speaker 64 is “XXX theme song” (not shown in the figure).

After the mobile phone 61 determines the target candidate results, it displays each target candidate result in the form of a control. As shown in FIG6A , the control 613 corresponding to the target candidate result of the smart screen 62 is displayed in the search result page 611, and the control 614 corresponding to the target candidate result of the ink screen 63 is displayed.

If the user needs to coordinate the display of "XXX TV series" searched by mobile phone 61 on smart screen 62, he can click control 613. After mobile phone 61 detects the click operation on control 613, it is considered that the external input trigger instruction is obtained, and the relevant information of "XXX TV series" is sent to smart screen 62. In this way, smart screen 62 can obtain the video playback source of XXX TV series and display it according to the relevant information of "XXX TV series" sent by mobile phone 61.

Similarly, if the user needs to coordinate the search for "XXX novel" on the mobile phone 61 to be displayed on the ink screen 63, the user can click the control 614. After the mobile phone 61 detects the click operation on the control 614, the relevant information of "XXX novel" can be sent to the ink screen 63. In this way, the ink screen 63 can obtain "XXX novel" according to the information sent by the mobile phone 61 and display it.

It is understandable that after detecting a click operation on control 613 or control 614, mobile phone 61 can also determine whether to instruct the smart screen 62 or ink screen 63 to directly display the target candidate results, or to display a prompt message first, based on the device status information of the smart screen 62 and ink screen 63, to prompt the user whether to display the target candidate results.

In the scenario shown in FIG6A , the mobile phone 61 does not display the target candidate result of the speaker 64 in the search result page 611. At this time, the mobile phone 61 automatically sends the searched audio content to the speaker 64 by default, without the need for user triggering. That is, after the mobile phone 61 determines the target candidate result of the speaker 64, it actively sends the target candidate result to the speaker 64, so as to coordinate the searched speaker to play on the speaker.

As can be seen from the scenario of Figure 6A, by screening out target candidate results suitable for each second terminal device 200 from the search results based on the information of the second terminal device 200, and displaying the target candidate results in the form of controls on the search results page, it is not only convenient for users to obtain target candidate results suitable for the second terminal device 200 from a large number of search results, but also convenient for users to collaboratively display the target candidate results to the second terminal device 200.

Specifically, compared to the method of collaboratively displaying the search results to other terminal devices through screen projection, the embodiment of the present application displays the target candidate results on the search results page in the form of controls. The user only needs to perform simple operations to collaboratively display the target candidate results on the corresponding second terminal device 200. The operation is more convenient and the user experience is better.

It is worth pointing out that when distributing the target candidate results, the first terminal device 100 can also determine whether to actively send the corresponding target candidate results to the second terminal device 200 according to the device type. Usually, some target device types can be pre-set, and for these target device types, the first terminal device 100 can actively distribute the target candidate results to the second terminal device 200 without user triggering. In addition, the first terminal device 100 does not need to display the target candidate results corresponding to the target device type in the form of controls on the search results page. For example, in the scenario shown in FIG6A, the target device type is a speaker. At this time, the mobile phone 61 does not display the controls for the target candidate results of the speaker 64 on the search results page 611, but directly sends the target candidate results to the speaker 64, and can also instruct the speaker 64 to directly display the target candidate results without prompting the user whether to display the target candidate results.

Of course, the first terminal device 100 can also display the target candidate results in the form of controls on the search results page, and actively distribute the target candidate results to the corresponding second terminal device 200. For example, in the scenario shown in FIG6A, the mobile phone 61 not only displays controls 613 and 614 on the search results page 611, but also actively sends the corresponding target candidate results to the smart screen 62 and the ink screen 63, without the user clicking on controls 613 and 614.

After receiving the target candidate results sent by the first terminal device 100, the second terminal device 200 can directly display the target candidate results, or display the target candidate results after confirmation by the user. Generally, if the first terminal device 100 instructs the second terminal device 200 to directly display the target candidate results, the second terminal device 200 directly displays the target candidate results; if the first terminal device 100 instructs the second terminal device 200 to display the prompt information first, the second terminal device 200 displays the prompt information first.

For example, referring to the multi-terminal collaboration diagram shown in FIG6B , based on the scenario shown in FIG6A , assuming that the mobile phone 61 instructs the smart screen 62 to display the prompt information first, the smart screen 62 can display the prompt window 621 after receiving the target candidate result sent by the mobile phone 61. The prompt window 621 is used to prompt the user whether to play the "XXX TV series" from the mobile phone. If the user selects the "Yes" option, the smart screen 62 plays the "XXX TV series". If the user selects the "No" option, the smart screen 62 does not play the "XXX TV series". drama".

Similarly, assuming that the mobile phone 61 instructs the ink screen 63 to display the prompt information first, after the ink screen 63 receives the target candidate results sent by the mobile phone 61, the prompt window 631 can be displayed. The prompt window 631 is used to prompt the user whether to read the "XXX novel" from the mobile phone. If the user selects the "Yes" option, the ink screen 63 displays "XXX novel", and if the user selects the "No" option, the ink screen 63 does not display "XXX novel".

Assume that the mobile phone 61 instructs the speaker 64 to display the prompt information first, and after receiving the target candidate results sent by the mobile phone 61, the speaker 64 can play the voice "song from the mobile phone, do you want to play it?" The user can input the voice "yes" and "no" to the speaker to confirm whether to play the song from the mobile phone.

It is understandable that if the second terminal device 200 requires user confirmation before displaying the target candidate results, the confirmation method can be not only voice confirmation and button confirmation, but also facial gesture confirmation and physical button confirmation, which are not limited here.

It should be pointed out that when the first terminal device 100 displays the target candidate results of each second terminal device 200, it can display each target candidate result in a default order, or it can display each target candidate result according to the intent of the query input by the user. Specifically, after obtaining the query input by the user, the intent of the query is identified, and the target candidate result corresponding to the strongest intent is ranked first. Other target candidate results can be sorted according to the strength of the intent, or they can be randomly sorted or sorted by default. For example, as shown in Figure 5, the query input by the user is "love sports", and it is identified that the strongest intent is TV series, then the searched "love sports" TV series will be ranked first.

It is understandable that when the first terminal device 100 sends the target candidate result to the second terminal device 200, a message including the target candidate result and other relevant information can be sent to the second terminal device 200. For example, the mobile phone can send the web link address of the TV series "Love Sports" that was searched to the smart screen. The smart screen obtains the relevant information and video playback source of the TV series "Love Sports" from the corresponding web page according to the web link address, and displays the relevant information of the TV series "Love Sports".

In order to better introduce the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, an introduction and explanation is given below in conjunction with an interactive flowchart.

For example, referring to FIG. 7 , which shows an interactive flow diagram of a search method, the search method may include the following steps:

Step S701: The first terminal device 100 obtains a query input by a user.

For example, referring to the multi-terminal device collaboration schematic diagram shown in FIG8 , a user may enter “love sports” in the search box 812 of the mobile phone 81 . In this case, the query is “love sports”.

Step S702 : The first terminal device 100 sends a request to each second terminal device 200 to request to obtain information of each second terminal device 200 .

The information of the second terminal device 200 may include only device information, and may include device information and device status information. The device status information is used in the subsequent target candidate result distribution process. The device information includes device type information, which may be carried in the search request.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG8 , the mobile phone 81 is the first terminal device 100, and the smart screen 82, the ink screen 83, and the speaker 84 are all second terminal devices 200. After the mobile phone 81 obtains the user input "love sports", it sends a request to the smart screen 82, the ink screen 83, and the speaker 84 to request the device type information and device status information of these devices. The smart screen 82, the ink screen 83, and the speaker 84 can respond to the request and return their own device type information and device status information to the mobile phone 81.

Step S703 : The second terminal device 200 returns information of the second terminal device 200 to the first terminal device 100 .

It should be noted that step S702 and step S703 may be performed before step S701 or after step S701, which is not limited here.

Step S704: The first terminal device 100 sends a search request to the cloud server.

The search request carries a query and device type information of each second terminal device 200 , or may not carry the device type information of each second terminal device 200 .

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG8 , after the mobile phone 81 obtains the query and the device type information of the smart screen 82 , the ink screen 83 and the speaker 84 , it sends a search request carrying the query and all device type information to the cloud server.

Step S705: In response to the search request, the cloud server returns search results to the first terminal device 100. The search results include at least one candidate result and a natural ranking.

Optionally, after receiving the search request, the search aggregation of the cloud server can request a retrieval from the search engine and obtain a set of candidate results returned by the search engine; then, the search aggregation of the cloud server mixes the candidate results according to the natural sorting template to obtain search results, and the first terminal device 100 returns the search results.

If the search request carries device type information, the search aggregation sorts the candidate results based on the device type information, the natural sorting template and the amount of information, obtains the sorted candidate results, and then obtains the search results. The search results include the candidate results and the natural sorting.

If the search request does not carry device type information, the search aggregation sorts the candidate results according to the natural sorting template and the amount of information to obtain the search results.

Step S706 : The first terminal device 100 sends a candidate result set to each second terminal device 200 .

Step S707: The second terminal device 200 scores each candidate result according to at least one of the device information and the user behavior data to obtain a scoring result, which includes a score for each candidate result.

Step S708 : The second terminal device 200 sends the scoring result to the first terminal device 100 .

Step S709 : The first terminal device 100 determines target candidate results for each second terminal device 200 according to the scoring results of each second terminal device 200 , and displays each target candidate result.

It is understandable that the first terminal device 100 can display information of the target candidate result on the search result interface, and the information of the target candidate result includes the first information and the second information. For example, the first terminal device 100 displays the target candidate result with a control.

Step S710: The first terminal device 100 distributes corresponding target candidate results to each second terminal device 200.

For example, as shown in FIG8 , assuming that among the scoring results returned by the smart screen 82, the TV series "Love Sports" has the highest score, the mobile phone 81 determines that the target candidate result of the smart screen 82 is the TV series "Love Sports". Similarly, among the scoring results returned by the ink screen 83, the novel "Love Sports" has the highest score, and the mobile phone 81 determines that the target candidate result of the ink screen 83 is the novel "Love Sports". Among the scoring results returned by the speaker 84, the theme song of the TV series "Love Sports" has the highest score, and the mobile phone 81 determines the theme song "Love Sports" as the target candidate result of the speaker 84.

After the mobile phone 81 determines the target candidate results of the smart screen 82, the ink screen 83 and the speaker 84, the target candidate results of the smart screen 82 and the ink screen 83 are displayed on the search result page 811 in the form of controls, which are respectively controls 813 and 814. In addition, after the mobile phone 81 removes the target candidate results from the search results, the remaining candidate results are also displayed on the search result page 811 according to the natural sorting, that is, in addition to controls 813 and 814, the search result page 811 of Figure 8 also displays candidate results such as the cast and the ratings of the sports lover.

In the scenario shown in FIG. 8 , the mobile phone 81 does not display the target candidate result of the speaker 84 in the form of a control on the search result page 811 , but directly sends the “Love Sports” theme song to the speaker 84 to instruct the speaker 84 to play the “Love Sports” theme song.

As for the target candidate results of the smart screen 82 and the ink screen 83, the mobile phone 81 can distribute the target candidate results after detecting the click operation on the control; or it can directly distribute the target candidate results. In addition, when the mobile phone 81 sends the target candidate results to the smart screen 82 or the ink screen 83, it can be distributed according to the device status information of the smart screen 82 or the ink screen 83. If the smart screen 82 is currently in standby mode, the mobile phone 81 can send the "Love Sports" TV series to the smart screen 82 and instruct the smart screen 82 to directly display the "Love Sports" TV series. At this time, the smart screen 82 obtains the video source and related information of the "Love Sports" TV series from the background server through the Internet according to the information sent by the mobile phone 81, and displays the playback interface 821 based on the obtained video source and related information. If the smart screen 82 is in the viewing state, that is, the user is using the smart screen 82, the mobile phone 81 sends the "Love Sports" TV series to the smart screen 82, and instructs the smart screen 82 to display the prompt information first to prompt the user whether to play the "Love Sports" TV series. When the user agrees to play, the playback interface 821 is displayed.

Similarly, the mobile phone 81 sends the novel "Love Sports" to the ink screen 83, and instructs the ink screen 83 to directly display the novel "Love Sports". The ink screen 83 obtains the novel "Love Sports" through the Internet according to the information sent by the mobile phone 81, and displays the interface 831.

As can be seen from the above, the embodiment of the present application selects target candidate results suitable for the second terminal device 200 from the search results based on at least one of the device information and user behavior data of the second terminal device 200, and displays the target candidate results, as well as the corresponding relationship between the target candidate results and the second terminal device 200, so that the user can better obtain the candidate results suitable for the second terminal device 200 from a large number of search results. Furthermore, the embodiment of the present application also displays the target candidate results before the non-target candidate results, and displays each target candidate result in the form of a control, so that the user can not only better obtain the candidate results suitable for the second terminal device 200, but also allows the user to display the results searched by the first terminal device 100 to the second terminal device 200 in a coordinated manner through simple and convenient operations, which provides a better user experience.

As another example, referring to FIG. 9 , which shows an interactive flow diagram of a search method, the search method may include the following steps:

Step S901: The first terminal device 100 obtains a query input by a user.

Step S902 : The first terminal device 100 sends a request to each second terminal device 200 to request to obtain information of each second terminal device 200 .

The information of the second terminal device 200 may include device information, user behavior data, and device status information. The device status information is used in the subsequent target candidate result distribution process. The user behavior data and device information may be used in the subsequent scoring process. The device information includes device type information, which may be carried in the search request.

Step S903 : The second terminal device 200 returns information of the second terminal device 200 to the first terminal device 100 .

Step S904: The first terminal device 100 sends a search request to the cloud server.

It can be understood that step S902 and step S903 may be before step S901 or after step S901, which is not limited here.

Step S905: The cloud server returns search results to the first terminal device 100 in response to the search request. The search results include at least one candidate result and a natural ranking.

Step S906 : The first terminal device 100 scores each candidate result according to at least one of the device information and user behavior data of each second terminal device 200 , and obtains a scoring result of each second terminal device 200 .

The candidate result set is sent to each second terminal device 200 .

Step S907 : The first terminal device 100 determines target candidate results for each second terminal device 200 according to the scoring results of each second terminal device 200 , and displays each target candidate result.

Step S908 : The first terminal device 100 distributes corresponding target candidate results to each second terminal device 200 .

By comparison, it can be seen that in FIG7, the second terminal device 200 scores each candidate result, while in FIG9, the first terminal device 100 scores each candidate result, so in FIG9, the device information and user behavior data of the second terminal device 200 need to be synchronized to the first terminal device 100. The similarities between FIG7 and FIG9 can be referred to each other, and will not be repeated here. Compared with FIG7, FIG9 has the second terminal device 200 score the candidate results, which saves the computing resource overhead of the first terminal device 100.

As another example, referring to a flowchart of a search method shown in FIG10 , the search method may include the following steps:

Step S1001: The first terminal device 100 obtains a query input by a user, and sends the query to each second terminal device 200.

Step S1002: The first terminal device 100 sends a search request to the cloud server, and the second terminal device 200 sends a search request to the cloud server.

Step S1003: The first terminal device 100 obtains the search results returned by the cloud server, and the second terminal device 200 obtains the search results returned by the cloud server.

For example, the query is "love sports" entered by the user through the search box. After the first terminal device 100 obtains "love sports", it sends a search request carrying the query to the cloud server. In response to the search request of the first terminal device 100, the cloud server returns the search results to the first terminal device 100, and the search results include at least one candidate result and a natural ranking.

The first terminal device 100 also distributes the query "love sports" to each second terminal device 200. The second terminal device 200 also sends a search request carrying the query to the cloud server. The cloud server responds to the search request of each second terminal device 200 and returns the corresponding search results to each second terminal device 200.

That is, the first terminal device 100 and the second terminal device 200 both send search requests to the cloud server, and both can receive search results returned by the cloud server in response to the search requests.

It is understandable that the search results of the first terminal device 100 and the search results of the second terminal device 200 may be different, and the search results of each second terminal device 200 may also be different. The search results include at least one candidate result and a natural ranking.

Step S1004 : The second terminal device 200 scores each candidate result in the search results according to at least one of its own device information and user behavior data, obtains a scoring result, and returns the scoring result to the first terminal device 100 .

Step S1005: The second terminal device 200 determines target candidate results according to the scoring results and displays the target candidate results.

Specifically, the second terminal device 200 can reorder each candidate result according to the score of each candidate result in the scoring result, and determine the candidate result with the highest score as the target candidate result. After determining the target candidate result, the target candidate result is directly displayed. For example, after the smart screen obtains the search results returned by the cloud server, it scores according to the device information and user behavior data to obtain the scoring results, and determines that the "Love Sports" TV series is the target candidate result based on the scoring results, then the "Love Sports" TV series can be displayed.

Of course, in addition to returning the scoring result to the first terminal device 100 , the second terminal device 200 may also directly return the determined target candidate result to the first terminal device 100 .

Step S1006 : The first terminal device 100 displays target candidate results for each second terminal device 200 according to the scoring results of each second terminal device 200 .

Exemplarily, the first terminal device 100 displays each target candidate result in the form of a control according to the target candidate results of each second terminal device 200. For example, as shown in FIG8 , the mobile phone 81 displays controls 813 and 814 on the search results page according to the scoring results or target candidate results returned by the smart screen 82 and the ink screen 83. In addition, the mobile phone 81 also displays the remaining candidate results according to the search results returned by the cloud server and each target candidate result. Specifically, after removing the target candidate result from the search results, the remaining candidate results in the search results can be displayed in natural order.

Compared with Figures 7 and 9, the first terminal device 100 in this embodiment does not distribute the target candidate results to each second terminal device 200, but distributes the query input by the user to each second terminal device 200, and each second terminal device 200 sends a search request to the cloud server according to the query, and after determining the target candidate results based on the search results returned by the cloud server, directly displays the target candidate results.

For example, referring to a flowchart of a search method shown in FIG11 , the search method may include the following steps:

Step S1101: The first terminal device 100 obtains search information.

Step S1102: The first terminal device 100 sends a search request to the cloud server, where the search request includes search information.

In addition to the search request, the search request may also include device type information of each second terminal device 200. The device type information is used for aggregate sorting.

Step S1103: The first terminal device 100 receives search results from the cloud server. The search results are results returned by the cloud server in response to the search request. The search results include at least one candidate result.

Step S1104, the first terminal device 100 displays information about at least one target candidate result, the information about the target candidate result includes first information and second information, the first information is used to describe the target candidate result, and the second information is used to describe the second terminal device corresponding to the target candidate result, and the target candidate result is a candidate result filtered out from the search results based on the information of the second terminal device.

The information of the second terminal device 200 may include device information, or may include device information and user behavior data. The device information may include at least one of device type information and device parameter information.

Optionally, after determining the target candidate result of at least one second terminal device 200, the first terminal device 100 may display information of each target candidate result on the search result page.

In a possible implementation, the first terminal device 100 may simply map the candidate results and the device types of each second terminal device 200 to determine the target candidate results of each second terminal device 200 .

In another possible implementation, the target candidate result may be determined according to the scoring results of each second terminal device 200 .

When the scoring process is performed on the second terminal device 200 side, the first terminal device 100 can send the candidate result set to each second terminal device 200, and the second terminal device 200 scores each candidate result according to at least one of its own device information and user behavior data to obtain a scoring result.

When the scoring process is performed on the first terminal device 100 side, the first terminal device 100 obtains at least one of the device information and user behavior data of each second terminal device 200, and scores each candidate result according to at least one of the device information and user behavior data of each second terminal device 200 to obtain a scoring result.

After the first terminal device 100 obtains the scoring results, it can determine the candidate result with the highest score in the scoring results as the target candidate result, or it can determine the candidate result with a score greater than a preset threshold in the scoring results as the target candidate result.

In a possible implementation, the first terminal device 100 may display controls for each target candidate result according to the target candidate results of each second terminal device; wherein the control includes the first information and/or the second information. For example, referring to the scene shown in FIG8 , the control 813 displays “Love sports TV series, watch on the smart screen”. Among them, “Love sports TV series” is the first information, and “smart screen” is the second information.

In addition to displaying each target candidate result, the first terminal device 100 can also display the remaining candidate results. At this time, each candidate result in the remaining candidate result set can be displayed according to the sorting in the search results (i.e., natural sorting). Among them, the remaining candidate result set includes the candidate results remaining after removing the target candidate result from the candidate result set.

In order to allow the user to better obtain target candidate results suitable for the second terminal device 200, when the target candidate results and the remaining candidate results are displayed on the same search result page, the display position of the target candidate results is before the display position of the remaining candidate results in the search result page.

In addition to displaying the target candidate results, the first terminal device 100 may also send the corresponding target candidate results to the second terminal device to instruct the second terminal device to display the target candidate results.

In one possible implementation, if the first terminal device 100 displays each target candidate result in the form of a control, upon detecting an operation on the control, the first terminal device 100 sends the corresponding target candidate result to the second terminal device corresponding to the control in response to the operation.

Of course, in another possible implementation, the first terminal device 100 may also actively distribute various target candidate results without being triggered by the user.

In a possible implementation, in order to improve user experience, when distributing target candidate results, the first terminal device 100 may also distribute them according to the device status information of each second terminal device 200. Specifically, the first terminal device 100 may determine the current state of the second terminal device according to the device status information; if the current state is the first state, the corresponding target candidate result and first indication information are sent to the second terminal device, and the first indication information is used to instruct the second terminal device to directly display the target candidate result; if the current state is the second state, the corresponding target candidate result and second indication information are sent to the second terminal device, and the second indication information is used to instruct the second terminal device to display prompt information, and the prompt information is used to prompt whether to display the target candidate result.
