A member engine uploads a mapping relationship between an attribute in a local interface schema and an attribute in a global interface schema during registration. During query interface adaptation, a search request in the form of the global interface schema is converted into a search request in the form of the local interface schema by adopting the mapping relationship. Also, when the search result is returned, the search result in the form of the local interface schema is converted into the search result in the form of the global interface schema by adopting the mapping relationship.
The search client 51 is configured to send a search request to the search server 52.

The technical solutions of the device of present invention have the following beneficial effects. As a technical means of mapping relationship conversion is adopted for the search request or search result represented by the global search result interface schema or the local search result interface schema, technical effects of greatly simplifying the process of the search interface adaptation of the search server and improving efficiency and accuracy of mobile search are achieved.
(1) Interface schema (including a query interface schema and a returned result interface schema).
A global interface schema is prestored in a search server; and
a local interface schema is stored in a member engine.
(2) Registration of Member Engine
(a) Upload a local interface (including query and search result interfaces) schema.
For example, a local interface schema for a certain member engine for searching articles is as follows:
T (an attribute name): a text type field, representing an article title, label: t
A (an attribute name): a text type field, representing an author, label: a
D (an attribute name): a text type field, representing a digest, label: d
P (an attribute name): a date type, representing a publication date, label: p
F (an attribute name): a text type field, representing a full text, label: f
(b) Upload a mapping relationship between an attribute in a local schema and an attribute in a global schema or the mapping relationship is generated by a search server.
For example, a global interface (including query and search result interfaces) schema for searching articles is as follows:
Title (an attribute name): a text type field, representing an article title, label: ti
Author (an attribute name): a text type field, representing an author, label: au
Digest (an attribute name): a text type field, representing a digest, label: di
Publication_date (an attribute name): a date type, representing a publication date, label: pd
Full_text (an attribute name): a text type field, representing a full text, label: ft
Claim (attribute name): a text type field, representing claims, label: cl
The mapping relationship between the attribute in the local interface (including query and search result interfaces) schema and the attribute in the global interface (including the search result interface) schema is as follows:
T—Title,
A—Author,
D'Digest,
P—Publication_date,
F—Full_text.
(1) A search client sends a search request represented by a global query interface schema to a search server.
(2) The search server converts the search request represented by the global query interface schema into a search request represented by each local query interface schema according to a global query interface schema, a local query interface schema, and a mapping relationship between an attribute in the global query interface schema and an attribute in each local query interface schema.
For example, a search request represented by a global query interface schema is as follows:
Search (di: “search interface adaptation”, pd: 2008)
According to the global query interface schema, a certain local query interface schema, and the mapping relationship between the attribute in the certain local schema and the attribute in the global schema given in the foregoing, the search request represented by the global query interface schema is converted into a search request represented by the certain local query interface schema:
Search (d: “search interface adaptation”, p: 2008)
The conversion process is as follows:
The global query interface schema is searched according to a label (di and pd) in the Search (di, “search interface adaptation”, pd: 2008) to find that a global attribute name corresponding to di is Digest, and a global attribute name corresponding to pd is Publication_date; it is then found according to the mapping relationship between the attribute in the local query interface schema and the attribute in the global query interface schema that the global attribute Digest is mapped to the local attribute D and the global attribute Publication_date is mapped to the local attribute P; and it is found according to the local query interface schema that the label corresponding to the local attribute D is d, and the label corresponding to the local attribute P is p, so Search (di, “search interface adaptation”, pd: 2008) is converted into Search (d, “search interface adaptation”, p: 2008).
(3) When an attribute in a certain corresponding local query interface schema is not found to be mapped to the attribute in the search request represented by the global query interface schema, an input keyword corresponding to the attribute in the search request represented by the global query interface schema is expanded into a certain general search attribute (for example, an attribute corresponding to a general search box) in the local query interface schema.
For example, a search request represented by the global query interface schema is as follows:
Search (cl: “search interface adaptation”, pd: 2008)
At this time, a corresponding local attribute is not found to be mapped to a global attribute Claims corresponding to a global label cl according to the global query interface schema, the certain local query interface schema, and the mapping relationship between the attribute in the certain local schema and the attribute in the global schema, so the input keyword “search interface adaptation” corresponding to the global claims attribute is expanded into a certain general search attribute of the local query interface schema, and in this example, the local generic attribute is F (full text), and the corresponding label is f. Therefore, the search request represented by the global query interface schema is converted into the search request represented by the certain local query interface schema:
Search (f: “search interface adaptation”, pd: 2008)
(4) The search request represented by each local query interface schema is distributed to each member search engine.
(1) Each member engine sends each local search result to a search server.
(2) The search server converts and combines each local search result into a global search result according to a global search result interface schema, a local search result interface schema, and a mapping relationship between an attribute in the global search result interface schema and an attribute in each local search result interface schema.
For example, a search result represented by a certain local search result interface schema is as follows:
Result (t: “A meta-search interface adaptation method”, a: “Mr. Hu”, d: “digest . . . ”, p: Dec. 28, 2008, f: “text . . . ”)
According to the global search result interface schema, the certain local search result interface schema, the mapping relationship between the attribute in the certain local search result interface schema and the attribute in the global search result interface schema given in the foregoing, the search result represented by the certain local search result interface schema is converted into a search result represented by the global search result interface schema:
Result (ti: “meta-search interface adaptation method”, au: “Mr. Hu”, di: “digest . . . ”, pd: Dec. 28, 2008, ft: “text . . . ”)
The conversion process is as follows:
The local search result interface schema is searched according to labels (t, a, d, and p) in Result (t: “meta-search interface adaptation method”, a: “Mr. Hu”, d: “digest . . . ”, p: Dec. 28, 2008, f: “text . . . ”) to find that a local attribute name corresponding to t is T, a local attribute name corresponding to a is A, a local attribute name corresponding to d is D, a local attribute name corresponding to p is P, and a local attribute name corresponding to f is F; it is then found according to the mapping relationship between the attribute in the local search result interface schema and the attribute in the global search result interface schema that the global attribute Title is mapped to the local attribute T, the global attribute Author is mapped to the local attribute A, the global attribute Digest is mapped to the local attribute D, the global attribute Publication_date is mapped to the local attribute P, and the global attribute Full_text is mapped to the local attribute F; and it is then found according to the global search result interface schema that the label corresponding to the global attribute Title is ti, the label corresponding to the global attribute Author is au, the label corresponding to the global attribute Digest is di, the label corresponding to the global attribute Publication_date is pd, and the label corresponding to the global attribute Full_text is ft, so Result (t: “meta-search interface adaptation method”, a: “Mr. Hu”, d: “digest . . . ”, p: Dec. 28, 2008, f: “text . . . ”) is converted into Result (ti: “meta-search interface adaptation method”, au: “Mr. Hu”, di: “digest . . . ”, pd: Dec. 28, 2008, ft: “text . . . ”).
(3) The global search result is returned to a search client.

(3) When the corresponding attribute in the global query interface 2 schema is not found to be mapped to the attribute in the search request represented by the global query interface 1 schema an input keyword corresponding to the attribute in the search request represented by the global query interface 1 schema is expanded into a certain general search attribute (for example, an attribute corresponding to a general search box) in the global query interface 2 schema.

(6) When an attribute in a certain corresponding local query interface schema is not found to be mapped to the attribute in search request represented by the global query interface 2 schema, an input keyword corresponding to the attribute in the search request represented by the global query interface 2 schema is expanded into a certain general search attribute (for example, an attribute corresponding to a general search box) in the local query interface schema.
