DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail and examples of embodiments are shown in the drawings. The same or similar elements and the elements having same or similar functions are denoted by like reference numerals throughout the descriptions. Embodiments described herein with reference to drawings are explanatory, serve to explain the present disclosure, and are not construed to limit embodiments of the present disclosure. Instead, the embodiments of the present disclosure comprise all the variants, modifications and their equivalents within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the claims.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for recommending according to a search result provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes followings.

At S11, a query is received and recommended contents are acquired according to the query.

A search engine may receive the query input by a user in a search bar. Also, the query may be called as a search term or a retrieval term.

The search engine may acquire corresponding search results and corresponding recommended contents according to the query after receiving the query.

For example, acquiring the recommended contents includes grading contents in a database according to a preset algorithm, and acquiring the recommended contents from the large amount of data according to the grading result.

At S12, a title of the recommended contents is created according to the query and the recommended contents, in which the title of the recommended contents includes information associated with the query and information associated with the recommended contents.

Different from the related art, in the embodiment, the title of the recommended contents is created according to the query and the recommended contents. Since the query and/or the recommended contents may change, the title of the recommended contents is also variable. Thus, the title of the recommended contents may be created dynamically. Even the recommended contents keeps unchanged, a different title of the recommended contents may be created if there is a different query.

Alternatively, the information associated with the query is characteristic information of the query, and the information associated with the recommended contents is common characteristic information of the recommended contents. Referring to FIG. 2, creating the title of the recommended contents according to the query and the recommended contents includes followings.

At S21, the characteristic information of the query is acquired, in which the characteristic information includes a kernel term included in the query or a term representing a search intention of the query.

At S22, the common characteristic information of the recommended contents is acquired.

At S23, the characteristic information of the query and the common characteristic information of the recommended contents are included to the title of the recommended contents.

For example, if the query is “Jun Jie”, referring to FIG. 3a, which is a schematic diagram showing displaying the recommended contents in the related art, the title of the recommended contents is just a title of a fixed form, such as “related mammals” or “others search for”.

However, in the embodiment, the title of the recommended contents is created dynamically according to the query and the recommended contents.

For example, referring to FIG. 3b, the title of the recommended contents 31 may specifically include: “cute pets as tiny as Jun Jie” and “famous star pets”.

The title “cute pets as tiny as Jun Jie” includes the query “Jun Jie” and common characteristic information “cute pets” and “tiny” of the recommended contents.

Furthermore, the system understands that “Jun Jie” is the name of a very famous cute pet online, which reflects the user's search intention of searching for famous cute pets online. Therefore, the title “famous star pets” may include the search intention “famous” and the common characteristic information “pets”.

As another example, if the query is “What kinds of plants could be placed in the newly decorated living room”, referring to FIG. 4a, which is a schematic diagram showing displaying the recommended contents in the related, the title of the recommended contents is just the title of the fixed form, such as “related plants” or “others search for”.

However, in the embodiment, referring FIG. 4b, the title of the recommended contents 41 is created dynamically according to the query and the recommended contents.

As another example, if the query is “Bo Queen”, referring to FIG. 5a, which is a schematic diagram showing displaying the recommended contents in the related art, the title of the recommended contents is just the title of the fixed form, such as “related persons” or “others search for”.

However, in the embodiment, referring to FIG. 5b, the title of the recommended contents 51 is created dynamically according to the query and the recommended contents.

Alternatively, when the above searches are performed, including the characteristic information of the query and the common characteristic information of the recommended contents to the title of the recommended contents includes:

including the characteristic information of the query and the common characteristic information of the recommended contents to the title of the recommended contents in a form of a network popular word.

For example, referring to FIG. 5b, the title of the recommended contents includes “women in the imperial harem of Han Dynasty” that is represented in the form of the network popular word.

Alternatively, referring to FIG. 6, the method includes followings for creating the title of the recommended contents.

At S24, the title of the recommended contents with predetermined contents is created if the characteristic information of the query or the common characteristic information of the recommended contents is unable to be included to the title.

For example, taking FIG. 3b as an example, titles (such as “better recommends”) may be created if the title shown in FIG. 3b is unable to be acquired.

Alternatively, referring to FIG. 7, the method further includes followings after creating the title of the recommended contents.

At S25, the title of the recommended contents is updated.

For example, the title of the recommended contents is updated at a preset frequency. Or, a trigger event is set in advance, and the title of the recommended contents is updated if the trigger event occurs.

At S13, the recommended contents and the title of the recommended contents are displayed.

The recommended contents and the title of the recommended contents are displayed correspondingly after the title of the recommended contents is created.

Alternatively, displaying the recommended contents and the title of the recommended contents includes:

sequencing the recommended contents according to the title of the recommended contents; and

displaying the recommended contents sequenced corresponding to the title of the recommended contents.

For example, as limited by displaying space, there are a few number of recommended contents displayed every time. For example, corresponding to one title, 4 recommended contents are generally displayed every time. Therefore, the recommended contents top ranked are displayed in priority according to an acquired result of sequencing the recommended contents.

In the embodiment, the recommended contents may be sequenced in combination with the title. The recommended contents largely associated with the title are at the head of the sequenced recommended contents, thereby achieving optimizing the recommended contents and achieving sequencing cards in a global optimum way if the recommended contents are displayed in a form of the cards.

Specifically, for example, the recommended contents of associated persons are acquired if a searching for a person is performed. After the recommended contents are acquired, the recommended contents having common characteristic information are selected therefrom, and the title is created according to the common characteristic information. Then, the recommended contents with the common characteristic information may be displayed in priority, corresponding to the title.

For example, referring to FIG. 5b, if the title is “legendary queens in history”, the corresponding recommended contents are queens, which are optimized contents of the persons shown in FIG. 5a.

In the embodiment, by creating the title of the recommended contents according to the query and the recommended contents, it may realize creating the recommended contents dynamically, thereby avoiding the title of the fixed form. Moreover, by including the information associated with the query to the title of the recommended contents, the user may know a reason for recommending the recommended contents, thereby satisfying the user's requirement, and ensuring that the user can understand a relationship between the recommended contents and the query input by the user better, or understand a relationship between the recommended contents and a search intention of the user better. Furthermore, by optimizing the recommended contents according to the title, more suitable contents may be recommended; by analyzing the query and the recommended contents to create the title, an error of classifying may be avoided, for example, classifying animals as plants may be avoided, thereby improving the user experience; by updating the title, a baldness may be reduced, thereby avoiding perception fatigue and improving interest of the user; and by classifying the recommended contents to the corresponding title, disorganized contents may be avoided compared with coverall contents included in the title “others search for”.
