Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided for more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

In the scheme for obtaining the top number of search result items provided by the present invention, the client search engine supports the function of users in the network to top the search result items included in the search result page. At the same time, the search server counts the number of operations of all users on the network to the top of the search result item after using the search keyword to query the search result item, and obtains the cumulative number of top users of the search result item; the search server stores the search keyword, search The corresponding relationship between the result item identifier and the cumulative number of top users.

Before introducing the specific scheme of the present invention, at first introduce the specific implementation process of a certain user inputting search keywords in the network to obtain the search result page, and carrying out the top operation to the search result item of interest in the search result page:

First, during the search process, the user uses the search keywords to obtain a search result page, and the search result page provides interactive elements for putting each search result item on top. For example, after the user enters the search keyword "NBA" on the client terminal, the search result page interface returned by the search server is received. Generally, there are ten search result items on the search result page, which are sorted from top to bottom. There is a top button at the lower right corner of each search result item, which is an interactive element for putting the search result item to the top.

Then, the client receives a trigger instruction from the user on the interactive element corresponding to the first specified search result item, and moves the position of the first specified search result item to the position of the first search result item in the search result page. Further, this step can be implemented in any of the following two ways:

Method 1: After the client receives the user's trigger command for the interactive element corresponding to the first specified search result item, the client locally invokes the top script in the search result page, such as javascript script, to place the first specified search result item in the page moves to the first search result item position on the search results page. After executing the steps provided in Mode 1, the client sends a sticky notification message carrying the search result item identifier (for example, search result item URL) and search keywords of the first specified search result item to the search server.

Method 2: The client sends the top command carrying the user ID corresponding to the user, the search result item ID of the first specified search result item, and the search keyword to the search server on the network side, and the search server calls again the aforementioned search result page. For each search result item included, set the position of the first specified search result item to the position of the first search result item in the search result page and redraw the user-defined search result page, and return it to the client. The client receives the custom search result page returned by the search server.

Finally, display the user-defined top search result page.

In the above method 1 or method 2, after the search server receives the top notification message or the top command carrying the search result item identifier and search keyword of the first specified search result item, it queries the search result item related to the first specified search result item Identify the cumulative number of top users corresponding to the search keyword, and add 1 to the cumulative number of top users. Through this method, the search server can count and record the accumulative number of top users of the search result items after all users in the network query the search result items using search keywords.

The present invention provides a specific method for obtaining the top number of search result items based on the top function provided by the above-mentioned client search engine, which is described as follows.

Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of a method for obtaining the top number of search result items according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the method includes the following steps:

Step S100, receiving a top verification request message carrying attribute information of each search result item sent by the client.

Specifically, the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention is a search server, wherein the client may be a terminal device such as a computer, a smart phone, or a tablet computer. The user enters the search keyword through the search engine provided by the client, and the client sends the search request carrying the search keyword to the search server, so that the search server can query the matching search result items according to the search keyword, and then will include A search results page of multiple search result items is returned to the client. After receiving the search result page and before drawing and displaying the search result page, the client parses the search result page to obtain attribute information of each search result item included in the search result page. Then, the client sends the top verification request message carrying the attribute information of each search result item to the search server.

Step S101 , query the cumulative number of top users of each search result item according to the attribute information of each search result item.

Based on the above description, it can be seen that the search server counts the number of operations of all users on the network to the top of the search result item after using the search keyword to query the search result item, and obtains the cumulative number of top users of the search result item; the search server stores the search keyword , the corresponding relationship between search result item identifiers and the cumulative number of top users. The client sends a top verification request message carrying the attribute information of each search result item to the search server, and the search server queries the cumulative number of top users for each search result item according to the attribute information of each search result item. Optionally, the attribute information of each search result item includes a search result item identifier and a search keyword, and in addition, may also include a user identifier corresponding to the user. The user ID may be the user name or registration ID when the user logs in to the client, or may be the device ID of the terminal device used by the user when logging in to the client.

Step S102, sending the cumulative number of top users of each search result item to the client, so that the client draws and displays the search result page, and displays the cumulative number of top users of each search result item on the search result page.

The search server sends the cumulative number of top users of each search result item to the client. After receiving the cumulative number of top users of each search result item, the client invokes the rendering engine of the browser to draw and display the search result page, and displays the search result page in the search result page. The bottom right corner of each search result item displays the accumulated number of top users of the search result item.

According to the method provided in this embodiment, after receiving the search result page returned by the search server and before drawing and displaying the search result page, the client goes to the search server to inquire again about the cumulative number of top users of each search result item, and then displays the When searching the results page, the cumulative number of top users corresponding to each search result item is displayed. Through this method, the search result page displayed by the client to the user carries information on the top times of each search result item by the group users in the network. Interest points of interest, so that when users view the search results page, they can view the search content they are interested in under the guidance of the cumulative number of top users corresponding to each search result item, thereby improving the efficiency of search use.

Fig. 2 shows a flow chart of a method for obtaining the top number of search result items according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 2, the method includes the following steps:

In step S200, the client parses the search result page obtained by searching for the search keyword, and obtains the search result item identification of each search result item included in the search result page.

The user enters the search keyword through the search engine provided by the client, and the client sends the search request carrying the search keyword to the search server, so that the search server can query the matching search result items according to the search keyword, and then will include A search results page of multiple search result items is returned to the client. After receiving the search result page and before drawing and displaying the search result page, the client parses the search result page to obtain the search result item identifiers of the search result items included in the search result page.

For example, if the user enters the search keyword as "NBA", the search server obtains "NBA China Official Website", "NBA|NBA Live|NBA Official Authorized Video Live Streaming Website Sina Competitive Scenery Sina..." according to the search keyword "NBA". , "NBA's latest news", "NBA360 Encyclopedia" and other search result pages for multiple search result items. After receiving the search result page and before drawing and displaying the search result page, the client parses the search result item identifiers of the above search result items, where the search result item identifiers are specifically the URLs of the search result items, and obtains the following results:

The URL of the search result item corresponding to "NBA China Official Website" is URL1;

"NBA|NBA Live|NBA Official Authorized Video Live Streaming Website Sina Competitive Scenery Sina..." The URL of the corresponding search result item is URL2;

The URL of the search result item corresponding to "the latest NBA related news" is URL3;

The URL of the search result item corresponding to "NBA360 Encyclopedia" is URL4.

In step S201, the client sends a top verification request message carrying attribute information of each search result item to the search server.

The attribute information of each search result item includes at least a search result item identifier and a search keyword, and in addition, may also include a user identifier corresponding to the user. The user ID may be the user name or registration ID when the user logs in to the client, or may be the device ID of the terminal device used by the user when logging in to the client. Specifically, the attribute information of each search result item carried in the top verification request message is triple information: URL, query, qid. Wherein, URL is a search result item identifier, query is a search keyword, and qid is a user identifier (optional).

In the above example, the sticky verification request message sent by the client carries at least: "NBA" and URL1, "NBA" and URL2, "NBA" and URL3, "NBA" and URL4.

In step S202, the search server inquires, according to the attribute information of each search result item, the accumulative number of top users corresponding to each search result item identifier and search keywords.

The search server counts the number of times that all users in the network use the search keyword to search the search result item to the top of the search result item, and obtain the cumulative number of user tops for the search result item; the search server stores the search keyword, the search result item identifier and Corresponding relationship of cumulative number of top users.

In the above example, the search server queries the cumulative number of top users corresponding to "NBA" and URL1 1000, the cumulative number of top users corresponding to "NBA" and URL2 2500, the cumulative number of top users corresponding to "NBA" and URL3 500, "NBA" and URL3 respectively. ” and the cumulative number of top users corresponding to URL4 is 800.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the cumulative number of top users recorded by the search server may not only be used as feedback to the client for reference of user browsing information, but may also be used as a factor for determining the RANK of each search result item on the search result page one.

Specifically, before step S200, after the search server receives the user's search request, according to a conventional method, the search server generally sorts the search result items according to a search ranking algorithm such as a RANK sorting algorithm to generate a search result page, where RANK The sorting factor that the sorting algorithm mainly considers is the degree of matching between the search result item and the search keyword. In this embodiment, in addition to considering the factor of matching degree when performing the RANK sorting algorithm, the cumulative number of top users of the search result item can also be considered. Specifically, it can be Set the corresponding weight values for the matching degree and the cumulative number of top users, and finally determine the ranking of the search result items according to the weighted sum. This method introduces the influence of group users on RANK ranking, and optimizes the search engine ranking algorithm mechanism. In practical applications, the search result items with a higher cumulative number of top users reflect the search content that most users are interested in, and ranking such search content at the top is convenient for users to view the desired search content.

In step S203, the client receives the accumulated top numbers of users of each search result item returned by the search server.

In step S204, the client draws and displays the search result page, and displays the accumulative number of top users corresponding to each search result item on the search result page.

After the client receives the cumulative number of top users of each search result item returned by the search server, it calls the rendering engine of the browser to draw and display the search result page, and displays the search result at the lower right corner of each search result item on the search result page. The cumulative number of top users of the result item.

In the above example, the rendering engine of the browser draws and displays information including "NBA China Official Website", "NBA|NBA Live|NBA Official Authorized Video Live Streaming Website Sina Athletic Landscape Sina...", "NBA Latest News", "NBA360 "Encyclopedia" and other search result pages, and "1000" is displayed in the lower right corner of "NBA China Official Website", and "NBA|NBA Live|NBA official authorized video live broadcast website Sina Athletic Scenery Sina..." "2500" is displayed in the lower right corner, "500" is displayed in the lower right corner of "NBA Latest News", and "800" is displayed in the lower right corner of "NBA360 Encyclopedia".

Further, when the client draws and displays the search result page, it can also obtain interactive elements for pinning operation of each search result item by rendering, so that the user can pin the specified search result item to the top through the interactive element. For example, by calling a javascript script or loading HTML text, the client renders "NBA China official website", "NBA|NBA Live|NBA official authorized video live broadcast website Sina Athletic Landscape Sina...", "NBA's "Latest related news", "NBA360 Encyclopedia" and other search result items, and render the corresponding interactive elements at the lower right corner of each search result item, for example, render at the lower right corner of the search result item "NBA China Official Website" Interactive elements are displayed, interactive elements are rendered in the lower right corner of "NBA|NBA Live|NBA Officially Authorized Video Live Streaming Website Sina Athletic Scenery Sina..." Elements, interactive elements are rendered at the lower right corner of the search result item "NBA360 Encyclopedia", etc. The interactive element may be represented as a top arrow icon, or an icon in other forms, and may also be identified in text, such as "top".

In step S205, the client receives a trigger instruction from the user for the interactive element corresponding to the first specified search result item, and moves the position of the first specified search result item to the position of the first search result item in the search result page.

After the client renders each search result item to be the top interactive element, if the user is interested in a certain search result item, or wants a certain search result item as the first search result, he can then click or trigger the search result item The corresponding interactive element implements the top operation of the search result item. In the above example, if the user finds that "NBA|NBA Live|NBA Officially Authorized Video Live Streaming Website Sina Athletic Scenery Sina..." has the highest cumulative number of top users, and the user is also interested in this search result item, the user can click or trigger The interactive element of the search result item, the search result item of which the interactive element is clicked is called the first specified search result item.

After the client receives the user's trigger instruction for the interactive element corresponding to the first specified search result item, it can use the method 1 or 2 described above to move the position of the first specified search result item to the first page of the search result page. - the position of the search result item, which will not be described in detail here.

In step S206, the client adds 1 to the accumulative top user number of the first specified search result item.

For the pinning operation of "NBA|NBA Live|NBA Officially Authorized Video Live Streaming Website Sina Athletic Landscape Sina...", the client adds 1 to the cumulative number of top users of the search result item, and updates the cumulative number of top users to 2501.

Step S207, the client sends the top notification message carrying the search result item identifier and the search keyword of the first specified search result item to the search server, so that the search server updates the search result item identifier and the search result with the first specified search result item. The cumulative number of top users corresponding to the keyword.

If step S205 is implemented in the first manner, then step S207 needs to be executed to notify the search server to update the cumulative number of top users corresponding to the search result item ID and search keyword of the first specified search result item. If step S205 is implemented in the second way, the client does not need to send a top notification message, and the search server will update the corresponding search result item identifier and search keyword corresponding to the first specified search result item after receiving the top command. The cumulative number of top users.

In step S208, the client redraws and displays the search result page after the user puts the first specified search result item at the top, and updates the accumulative number of user tops for the first specified search result item.

The redrawing of the search result page by the client can be achieved by moving the position of the first specified search result item to the position of the first search result item in the search result page, and moving all the items in front of the original position of the first specified search result item The positions of the search result items are moved down in the original order, and the positions of all search result items behind the original position of the first specified search result item remain unchanged.

In the above example, the client redraws the search result page, and moves "NBA|NBA Live|NBA official authorized video live broadcast website Sina Athletic Landscape Sina..." to the position of the first search result item, that is, to the top position. The "NBA China official website" that was originally in the position of the first search result item will be moved down to the position where "NBA|NBA Live|NBA official authorized video live broadcast website Sina Athletic Scenery Sina..." is located, and the positions of other search result items such as " NBA360 Encyclopedia, "NBA Latest News" and the search result items below it remain unchanged, and in the lower right corner of the search result item "NBA | Display the sticky mark and the updated accumulative number of top users 2501. The sticky mark here is different from the interactive element, and is used to remind the user that the search result item corresponding to the sticky mark has been set to the top.

According to the method provided in this embodiment, after receiving the search result page returned by the search server and before drawing and displaying the search result page, the client goes to the search server to inquire again about the cumulative number of top users of each search result item, and then displays the When searching the results page, the cumulative number of top users corresponding to each search result item is displayed. Through this method, the search result page displayed by the client to the user carries information on the top times of each search result item by the group users in the network. Interest points of interest, so that when users view the search results page, they can view the search content they are interested in under the guidance of the cumulative number of top users corresponding to each search result item, thereby improving the efficiency of search use. In addition, when the search server executes the search ranking algorithm, it considers the influence of group users on the RANK ranking of the cumulative number of top users of the search result items, and optimizes the search engine sorting algorithm mechanism. In practical applications, search results with a higher cumulative number of top users Items reflect the search content that most users are interested in, and it is convenient for users to view the desired search content by sorting such search content first.
