Detailed Description

In order to quickly search the APP needed to be used by the user from the installed APPs, one search method includes: after detecting the gesture operation of a user on the touch screen, judging whether the gesture operation is a character input operation or a sliding operation according to the track information of the gesture operation, if the gesture operation is the character input operation, identifying the input characters, and searching for an APP (application) according to the identified characters. However, in this search method, it is necessary to determine whether the gesture operation is a text input operation or a slide operation based on the trajectory information of the gesture operation, and user operations corresponding to the text input operation or the slide operation are relatively similar to each other, so that erroneous determination of the user operation is easily caused.

Based on the technical problem, embodiments of the present invention provide a search method and a related apparatus, which may utilize a three-dimensional (3D) touch screen (touch) technology to identify a touch screen pressure value capable of reflecting a touch screen force of a user, so as to distinguish a search operation from a conventional touch screen operation according to the touch screen pressure value, and when the search operation is determined, identify a content to be searched according to trajectory information of the touch screen operation, and obtain a search result corresponding to the search operation according to the content. Therefore, a user can directly input contents to be searched through touch screen operation, and the touch screen strength is controlled to be distinguished from the conventional touch screen operations such as sliding, clicking and dragging, so that the search function can be quickly realized, the search time of the user is shortened, and the user experience is improved. In addition, the method and the device can accurately judge whether the search operation is performed or the conventional touch screen operations such as sliding, clicking and dragging are performed according to the touch screen strength, and therefore misjudgment of user operations is reduced.

In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Referring to fig. 1, a method embodiment of a search method is provided in the present invention.

The embodiment can be applied to a terminal device, wherein the terminal device can be any mobile or portable electronic device, including but not limited to a smart phone, a mobile computer, a tablet computer, a Personal digital assistant (abbreviated as PDA), a media player, and the like.

The embodiment comprises the following steps:

s101: and responding to a touch screen operation of a user, and acquiring a pressure value corresponding to the touch screen operation.

When the user has a search requirement, a touch screen operation can be performed on the touch screen of the terminal device, for example, characters such as strokes and pinyin are input by pressing the touch screen. When the user performs the touch screen operation, the pressure value of the touch screen operation can be further controlled, and the pressure value can reflect the touch screen strength of the touch screen operation performed by the user, such as pressing the touch screen heavily or pressing the touch screen lightly. Therefore, by responding to the touch screen operation of the user and acquiring the pressure value corresponding to the touch screen operation, whether the user presses the touch screen heavily or lightly can be determined according to the pressure value. The touch operation position of the user can be unlimited in the embodiment of the application, that is, the touch operation of the user at any position of the touch screen can be responded, so that the user experience is improved.

The touch screen operation may be a single touch screen operation or a plurality of continuous touch screen operations. For example, a user needs to input a character composed of a plurality of strokes, so that a plurality of continuous touch screen operations are performed on the touch screen, and the plurality of touch screen operations meet a preset condition: the operation time interval of the adjacent touch screen operations is smaller than the preset time interval, for example, the operation intervals of the adjacent touch screen operations are smaller than 1 second, and then a plurality of continuous touch screen operations can be determined. Correspondingly, the terminal device responds to the touch screen operations meeting the preset conditions.

In this embodiment, the application program such as the mobile phone assistant may be run in the background, so as to monitor the touch screen operation of the user equipment. And after the touch screen operation of the user is monitored, responding to the touch screen operation, and acquiring a pressure value corresponding to the touch screen operation.

S102: and if the pressure value corresponding to the touch screen operation is located in a first preset interval, determining that the touch screen operation is a search operation.

After the terminal device obtains the pressure value of the touch screen operation, the interval where the pressure value is located can be judged, and when the pressure value is located in the first preset interval, the terminal device determines that the touch screen operation is a search operation. When the pressure value is in the second preset interval, the terminal device may determine that the touch screen operation is any one or more of a sliding operation, a clicking operation and a dragging operation.

The first preset interval and the second preset interval are two intervals with different pressure values, and can be used for distinguishing the magnitude of touch screen force reflected by the pressure value of touch screen operation. For example, the first preset interval may be larger than the second preset interval, so that when the pressure value corresponding to the touch screen operation is located in the first preset interval, the touch screen strength indicating the touch screen operation of the user is a heavy press, and therefore the touch screen operation is determined to be a search operation, and a search result corresponding to the search operation is obtained; when the pressure value corresponding to the touch screen operation is located in the second preset interval, the touch screen force representing the touch screen operation of the user is a tap, so that the touch screen operation is determined to be a conventional touch screen operation such as a sliding operation, a clicking operation or a dragging operation, and the function of the conventional touch screen operation is triggered. When the conventional touch screen operation is determined, which conventional touch screen operation is specifically determined according to the touch screen time, the track information, the touch screen position and the like of the touch screen operation can be detected, for example, after the sliding operation is detected according to the touch screen track information, the operations of unlocking a screen, turning a page and the like corresponding to the sliding operation can be triggered, after the clicking operation is detected according to the touch screen time, the functions of opening an APP, closing the APP and the like corresponding to the clicking operation can be triggered, and after the dragging operation is detected according to the touch screen position and the track information, the operations of moving an icon of the APP and the like can be triggered.

S103: and acquiring track information of the touch screen operation, and identifying input content corresponding to the track information.

Since it is determined that the touch screen operation of the user is a search operation, it is necessary to identify input content corresponding to the trajectory information, such as characters input by the user, such as strokes and pinyin, according to the trajectory information of the touch screen operation, so as to perform a search according to the input content.

Optionally, while the user performs the touch screen operation, or after performing the touch screen operation, an input trajectory corresponding to the trajectory information of the touch screen operation may be further displayed. For example, when the user executes the touch screen operation, the terminal device displays the input track corresponding to the track information of the touch screen operation in real time, so that the user can conveniently observe the input track of the touch screen operation in real time, and the accuracy of the input track is ensured.

S104: and obtaining a search result corresponding to the search operation according to the input content.

After the terminal device acquires the input content, the function corresponding to the search operation can be triggered, that is, local search or networking search is performed according to the search content, so that a search result corresponding to the search operation is obtained. For example, when the input content is a character such as a stroke, an APP corresponding to the character such as the stroke may be searched in the local memory of the terminal device according to the character such as the stroke; for example, when the input content is a character such as pinyin, a contact list and the like corresponding to the pinyin character can be searched in a local memory of the terminal device according to the character such as pinyin.

According to the technical scheme, the 3D touch screen technology is utilized in the embodiment of the application, the touch screen pressure value capable of reflecting the touch screen strength of the user is identified, so that the searching operation and the conventional touch screen operation are distinguished according to the touch screen pressure value, when the searching operation is performed, the user can directly input the content to be searched through the touch screen operation, therefore, the searching function can be quickly achieved, the searching time of the user is shortened, and the user experience is improved. In addition, the method and the device can accurately judge whether the search operation is performed or the conventional touch screen operations such as sliding, clicking and dragging are performed according to the touch screen strength, and therefore misjudgment of user operations is reduced.

For example, a user inputs pinyin or strokes at any position on a touch screen through touch screen operation, and when the touch screen strength of the touch screen operation is determined to be the touch stress, handwriting recognition is performed on the touch screen operation of the user to search according to the recognized pinyin or strokes input by the user, for example, search for locally stored APP; when it is determined that the touch screen strength of the touch screen operation is the tap, triggering a corresponding function, for example, triggering page turning of a display interface according to the sliding operation according to the conventional touch screen operations such as sliding, clicking, dragging and the like corresponding to the touch screen operation. The two operations are distinguished by pressing the corresponding search operation again and pressing the corresponding conventional touch screen operation lightly, so that the search time of a user is shortened, and misjudgment of the user operation is reduced. In consideration of the difference of the operation habits of the user, the user can also set the corresponding relation between the touch screen strength and the search operation and the conventional touch screen operation.

In the embodiment of the application, in order to realize the search function, the index relationship between the index items such as strokes and pinyins and the index result can be established on the terminal device or the server, so that the terminal device can search according to the input content and the index relationship. Specifically, S104 may include: obtaining an index item matched with the input content of the user; acquiring an index relation between an index item and an index result; and obtaining an index result corresponding to the matched index item according to the index relation, and taking the index result as a search result corresponding to the search operation. The search APP is described in detail below as an example.

The terminal equipment can count the installed APP information such as the name, the type information and the function description information of the APP, and establish an index relationship between the APP information and the APP.

The index relationship may be an index relationship between a pinyin of the APP information and a call icon of the APP. The APP information comprises any one or more items of information such as APP name, type information and function description information. The following description will be given taking an example in which the APP information includes an APP name. For example, the index relationship includes pinyin: "QQ" with APP: the corresponding relation between calling icons of the QQ, and the pinyin: "QQlilulanqi" is compatible with APP: and (4) corresponding relation between calling icons of the QQ browser. When the user needs to search the APP, the pinyin Q can be input by handwriting at any position of the touch screen with touch screen strength which is pressed again, the terminal device matches the pinyin Q input by handwriting with the user with the pinyin in the index relation, and the matched pinyin is obtained: and obtaining calling icons of APP corresponding to matched pinyin QQ and QQlilulanqi according to the index relation, wherein the calling icons comprise the following icons: and a calling icon of the QQ browser are used as search results. The user can click any one of the calling icons, and accordingly the APP corresponding to the calling icon is opened. When the pinyin input by the user through handwriting is matched with the pinyin in the index relationship, a complete matching mode can be adopted, namely the pinyin and the pinyin are considered to be matched when the pinyin input by the user is completely the same, and a partial matching mode can also be adopted, namely the pinyin and the pinyin are considered to be matched when the pinyin and the pinyin are partially the same or similar, so that the user can input pinyin abbreviations by handwriting without handwriting the complete pinyin of the names, the categories or the functions of the APP, calculate the probability that the pinyin abbreviations input by handwriting are the pinyin in the index relationship, and determine whether the pinyin abbreviations input by the user through handwriting are matched with the pinyin in the index relationship or not according to the probability. It should be noted that, in the above example, the search term is a pinyin of information of the APP, and the search result is a call icon of the APP, which are taken as examples for explanation, and in fact, in this embodiment, specific contents and forms of the search term and the search result are not limited.

Similarly, an index relationship between the strokes of the APP information and the calling icons of the APP can also be established. The APP information comprises any one or more items of information such as APP name, type information and function description information.

The following description will be given taking an example in which the APP information includes an APP name. For example, the index relationship includes a "WeChat" stroke and a relationship with APP: the corresponding relation between calling icons of the WeChat, the stroke of the 'microblog' and the APP: and (4) corresponding relation between calling icons of the microblogs. When the user needs to search the APP, the user can generate the length to the touch screen force of re-pressing by handwriting input strokes at any position of the touch screen, the terminal device generates the length to the strokes of the user by handwriting input, the strokes are matched with the strokes in the index relation, and the matched strokes are obtained: the strokes of the WeChat and the strokes of the microblog are obtained, and the calling icons of the APPs corresponding to the matched strokes are obtained according to the index relation: and taking the calling icon of the WeChat and the calling icon of the microblog as search results. The user can click any one of the calling icons, and accordingly the APP corresponding to the calling icon is opened. When the strokes input by the user through handwriting are matched with the strokes in the index relationship, a complete matching mode can be adopted, namely the strokes are considered to be matched when the strokes are completely identical, and a partial matching mode can also be adopted, namely the strokes are considered to be matched when the strokes are partially identical or similar, so that the user can input the first strokes, the stroke components and the like of the strokes through handwriting without handwriting, calculate the probability that the first strokes and the stroke components of the strokes input through handwriting are the strokes in the index relationship, and determine whether the first strokes, the stroke components of the strokes input by the user through handwriting are matched with the strokes in the index relationship according to the probability.

The following description will take the example that the APP information includes the function description information of the APP. When the name of the APP is relatively long and difficult to remember, the user may difficultly remember the name of the APP, and the APP can be searched through the functions of the APP and the like, so that the diversity of searched content is increased, and the user experience is improved. For example, the index relationship includes function description information: the stroke of "job" is similar to APP: and (3) corresponding relation between calling icons of 'love learning'. When the user needs to search the APP, the user can input the Chinese character 'Gansu language operation' in a handwriting mode at any position of the touch screen with the touch screen force of re-pressing, the terminal device matches the strokes of the Chinese character 'Gausi language operation' input by the user in a handwriting mode with the strokes of the function description information in the index relation, and matched function description information is obtained: and the matched function description information is obtained according to the index relation: calling icon of APP corresponding to 'operation': and calling an icon for learning love. The user can click the calling icon, so that the APP corresponding to the calling icon is opened.

It should be noted that, in the above example, the search term is a stroke of information of the APP, and the search result is a call icon of the APP, which are taken as examples, and in fact, in the embodiment of the present application, specific contents and forms of the search term and the search result are not limited.

When a plurality of search results are obtained, the plurality of index results can be further screened, so that at least one search result which best meets the requirements of the user is obtained, or the search result list can be displayed, the plurality of index results in the search result list are sorted, the index results which meet the requirements of the user are arranged in front, and the search by the user is facilitated. The screening and sorting modes are specifically described below.

Optionally, the method further includes: obtaining the use probability of the search result, wherein the use probability can reflect the possibility that the search result is used by a user; and screening and/or sorting the search results according to the using probability.

Wherein, the use probability of the search result can be obtained according to any one or more of the following items of information:

the using time of the search result, the using frequency of the search result, the latest using time of the search result, the matching degree of the common using time of the search result and the current time, the attribute information of the search result and the occurrence condition of the search result in the message bar. Each of the above parameters will be described below.

The longer the usage time of the search result is, the higher the usage frequency and the closer the latest usage time are, the greater the possibility that the user uses the search result is, that is, the greater the usage probability of the search result is. The usage duration of the search result may be the total usage duration of the search result, or the usage duration of the search result within a period of time. The frequency of use of the search results may be the total frequency of use of the search results or the frequency of use of the search results over a period of time. For example, after obtaining the call icons of multiple APPs, the call icons of the APPs may be sorted according to the usage duration, the usage frequency, or the latest usage time of the APPs.

The common usage time of the search results refers to a time period in which the usage time of the search results is long or the usage frequency is high, for example, the usage time of APP of a certain news category is long in a time period of 7:00-9:00 at night. The higher the matching degree of the common use time and the current time is, the higher the possibility that the user uses the search result at the current time is, that is, the higher the use probability of the search result is. For example, when the current time is 8:00 pm, the matching degree between the current time and the common use time of the news type APP is high, and therefore the use probability of the news type APP is high.

The attribute information of the search result may include attribute information such as a category and a score of the search result, and the attribute information may also reflect a possibility that the user uses the search result, for example, when the score of the APP is higher, or when the category of the APP matches with a category of APPs commonly used by the user, the probability of using the APP is higher.

When a search result appears in the message bar, the more likely the user is to view the search result, so that the appearance of the search result in the message bar can reflect the possibility that the user searches the search result, for example, a push message is in the message bar, and the use probability of the push message is high.

In the embodiment of the present application, the usage probability of the search result may be obtained according to any one of the above information, or the usage probability of the search result may be obtained by integrating a plurality of items of information, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Corresponding to the above method embodiments, the present application further provides corresponding apparatus embodiments, which are specifically described below.
