Detailed Description

In order to solve the technical problems, the general idea of the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

when the page contains the content of the first language type, determining the recognition range of a user of the electronic equipment for the character string of the first language type; determining the content to be prompted in the page based on the identification range; and providing a translation result of a second language type aiming at the content to be prompted. That is to say, only the translation result is provided for the content to be prompted corresponding to the recognition range of the user, but not for the whole page, so that on one hand, the inaccuracy of the translation result caused by the poor translation level of the translation machine can be prevented, and on the other hand, the accuracy of the translation range can be ensured as the provided translation result is determined based on the recognition range of the user, so that the technical effect of improving the translation effect of the character string of the first language type is achieved, and the reading experience of the user is improved. In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the following detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the present invention are provided with the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments, and it should be understood that the specific features in the embodiments and the examples of the present invention are the detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not limitations of the technical solutions of the present invention, and the technical features in the embodiments and the examples of the present invention may be combined with each other without conflict.

In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for translating a word, please refer to fig. 1, including:

step S101: when the page contains the content of the first language type, determining the recognition range of a user of the electronic equipment for the character string of the first language type;

step S102: determining the content to be prompted in the page based on the identification range;

step S103: and providing a translation result of a second language type aiming at the content to be prompted.

For example, the scheme may be applied to an electronic device with a translation function, for example: mobile phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, all-in-one machines, PCs (Personal computers), and the like; the solution can also be applied to servers, for example: when the server provides a page (for example, webpage content) for a user, if the content of the first language type is determined to be contained in the page, the translation result of the second language type can be obtained based on the scheme, and can be provided for the user.

In step S101, the page is, for example: text, web pages, and the like. The first language type is, for example, english, korean, japanese, etc., which may include only one language type, or may include multiple language types, which may be set by the user, or the system may detect a common language type of the user of the electronic device, and may determine that all other language types except the common language type are the first language type; still alternatively, the system may detect historical translation behavior of a user of the electronic device, and determine the first language type based on the historical translation behavior, such as: if there may be translation behaviors in the english translation and the legal translation in the historical translation behaviors of the user, it may be determined that the first language type includes: english, french, etc., wherein the first language type in the historical translation behavior may comprise a language type commonly used by the user, such as: the user common language type is chinese, but the user may not recognize the uncommon word, and the translation result may also be provided for the uncommon word in chinese, of course, the first language type may also include other language types besides the user common language type, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

The second language type may also be one or more language types, which may be the same as the first language type, for example: for uncommon words in the first language type, which may not be known by the user, in which case the uncommon words in the first language type may be replaced by synonyms or synonyms, in which case the second language type is the same as the first language type; the second language type may also be different from the first language type, for example: the common language type of the user is Chinese, the page contains English content, and the English content can be translated into Chinese content.

In addition, in the specific implementation process, in step S101, when it is detected that the content of the first language type exists in the page, a translation mechanism for the content of the first language type may be triggered; the translation mechanism for content in the first language type may also be triggered based on a user trigger, such as: the user opens a certain page (for example, text or a webpage, etc.) to trigger the intelligent translation function of the page, and then enters an entry for translating the content of the first language type into one or more languages, and the electronic device obtains the content of the first language type through the entry and performs subsequent translation operation on the content.

The character string in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a basic unit of a language type, for example: if the first language type is Chinese, its character string refers to Chinese characters, if the first language type is English, its character string refers to words, and so on.

Wherein, the recognition scope of the user of the electronic device for the character string of the first language type can be selected by the user instantly, for example: the recognition level of the character string of the first language type may be provided, and the recognition level may be selected by the user on the basis of the recognition degree of the character of the first language type by the user, and the recognition range of the character string of the first language type by the user is determined by the recognition level, for example: for each recognition level, a corresponding character string (a character string that can be recognized by the user at the recognition level, a character string that cannot be recognized by the user at the recognition level, or the like) may be set, and after the user selects the recognition level, the character string corresponding to the recognition level is directly acquired, and the recognition range of the user is determined based on the character string corresponding to the recognition level.

The recognition range of the user for the character string of the first language type may also be set in advance, for example: a first database or a second database may be preset, and an identification range of a user for a character string of a first language type is determined based on the first database or the second database, where, for example, the first database includes a character string that is presumed to be unrecognizable by the user in the first language type, and the identification range of the user is a character string other than the character string included in the first database; the second database contains, for example, a character string which is presumed to be recognizable by the user in the first language type, and the recognition range of the user is the character string contained in the first database, and the character which is presumed to be unrecognizable by the user may be a character which cannot be recognized by the user and may also be a character which is presumed to be ambiguous and cannot be recognized by the user in a specific scene; the characters that the user can recognize may be characters that the user can recognize at all, or may be characters that the user can recognize in a specific scene.

In a specific implementation, the character strings that can be recognized by the presumed user may be determined, and then the second database may be established based on the character strings that can be recognized by the presumed user. In this case, the character string recognizable by the presumed user may be directly added to the second database. In the specific implementation process, the character strings that can be recognized by the presumed user may be removed from the character strings included in the first language type, and the character strings that cannot be recognized by the presumed user may be obtained and added to the first database.

In the implementation process, the character string that can be recognized by the inferred user can be determined in various ways, and three of them are listed below for description, but of course, in the implementation process, the determination is not limited to the following three cases.

First, providing at least two recognition levels for the first language type to the user; determining the recognition level of the user for the first language type based on the selection operation of the user; and determining character strings which can be recognized by the user in the first language type according to the recognition level.

For example, three levels of a primary level, a middle level and a high level (of course, other levels are also possible) may be set, a character string included therein (which may be presumed as a character string that can be recognized by a user at the recognition level or a character string that cannot be recognized by a user at the recognition level) may be set for each level, and then the three levels of the primary level, the middle level and the high level are provided to the user, and the user selects the recognition level of the character string for the first language type; after receiving a selection operation by a user, character strings included in a recognition level corresponding to the selection operation are acquired, and the character strings are determined as character strings that can be recognized by a presumed user.

According to the scheme, the character string which can be identified by the user can be determined and presumed based on simple operation of the user, so that the efficiency of determining the character string which can be identified by the user is improved.

Secondly, the character strings of the first language type are provided for the user to be recognized, and the character strings which can be recognized by the user in the first language type are determined based on the recognition result.

For example, a character string of the first language type may be provided to a user for recognition, and the character string that can be recognized by the user may be marked, so as to determine a character string that can be recognized by the presumed user; alternatively, a character string that cannot be recognized by the user is marked, and a character string that cannot be recognized by the user is removed from all character strings, and a character string that can be recognized by the presumed user is obtained. In the scheme, all character strings of the first language type can be provided for a user to identify; the character string of the first language type may also be divided into a plurality of recognition levels, and then a part of the character string is provided from each recognition level for the user to recognize, if the user can recognize a character string of a certain recognition level that is greater than a preset ratio (for example, 80%, 90%, etc.), all the character strings included in the recognition level are used as characters that the user is presumed to recognize, and of course, the character string of the first language type may also be provided to the user to recognize in other ways, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In the above, the character string that can be recognized by the presumed user is determined from the recognition result of the character string of the first language type by the user, so that the determined character string that can be recognized by the user is more accurate.

Thirdly, based on the historical operation records of the user for the character strings of the first language type, the character strings which can be recognized by the user are determined in the first language type.

For example, the historical operation record is, for example: history translation records, history mark records and the like, and when the page provides the content of the first language type, the page can provide some operation entries for the content of the first language type, such as: an operation entry for translating a character string therein, an operation entry for marking a character string therein, and the like, wherein for a certain character string, if a user does not know the meaning of the character string, the character string may be translated through the translation operation entry, and in this case, the character string may be determined as a character string which cannot be recognized by the user; alternatively, if the user does not know the meaning of a certain character string, the user may mark the certain character string as an original word by directly using the operation entry for marking, and in this case, the certain character string may be determined as a character string that the user cannot recognize. After the character string that cannot be recognized by the user is determined, the character string that cannot be recognized by the user may be removed from all the character strings included in the first language type, and the character string that can be recognized by the presumed user may be determined.

In the scheme, the character string which cannot be identified by the user can be determined without extra operation of the user, so that the determination mode is more convenient and faster.

In step S102, determining the content to be prompted in the page based on the identification range includes, for example: and determining the content which cannot be identified by the user or the content which needs to be reminded of the attention of the user in the page based on the identification range, wherein the content which cannot be identified by the user or the content which needs to be reminded of the attention of the user is presumed to be the content which needs to be reminded.

For example, the content outside the identification range of the user can be obtained from the character string of the first language type included in the page as the content to be prompted. Based on the scheme, the translation result can be provided for the content which cannot be identified by the user.

In another optional embodiment, the content needing to be memorized by the user with emphasis can be determined based on the recognition range, and the content needing to be memorized with emphasis is the content needing to be prompted. In step S102, the content of the first language type may be directly matched with the database that needs to be memorized with emphasis, so as to obtain the content that needs to be memorized with emphasis and/or the character string that may not be recognized as the content that needs to be prompted, so as to deepen the user' S grasp of the content that needs to be memorized with emphasis.

As an optional embodiment, the determining content to be prompted in the page based on the identification range includes: matching the page content contained in the page with the character strings in the first database or the first character library, and further determining the character strings which cannot be identified by the presumed user, wherein the character strings which cannot be identified by the presumed user are the content to be prompted.

For example, it may be determined whether each character string in the content of the first language type included in the page is located in the second database, and if not, it is determined that the corresponding character string is the content to be prompted; or judging whether each character string in the content of the first language type contained in the page is located in the first database, and if so, determining that the corresponding character string is the content to be prompted.

In step S103, the translation result may be provided to the user in various ways, and two of them are listed below for introduction, and of course, in the specific implementation process, the following two cases are not limited.

First, the providing a translation result of a second language type for the content to be prompted includes: and displaying the content to be prompted and correspondingly displaying the translation result of the second language type.

For example, for each string in the content to be prompted, the translation result of its corresponding second language type may be displayed at the top, side, or bottom thereof, for example: the character string of the first language type is "cooperate", the translation result corresponding to the second language type may be a partial chinese translation result, such as "cooperation", or the entire chinese translation result of the character string, or an english comment, or the entire or partial translation result of multiple languages, such as chinese and korean, etc., for example, a specific translation result may be marked by a bracket or a small word beside the cooperate, so as to display the character string of the first language type in comparison with the translation result of the second language type, which not only enables the user to conveniently know the content of the first language type, but also enables the user to learn in comparison. Still alternatively, in a specific implementation process, only a prompt message (e.g., a translation icon, a font highlight, a button, etc.) may be given for each translation result of the second language type, the user may trigger the prompt message if the corresponding translation result needs to be displayed, and the electronic device may give the corresponding translation result after detecting that the user triggers the prompt message. Prompt information can be given for each translation result of the second language type, a translation list can be provided for a user to select after the prompt information is triggered, for example, a list of options of characters such as Chinese, japanese, korean, and a few names can be provided, and translation of corresponding characters can be provided after the user triggers one or more options.

Secondly, providing a translation result of a second language type for the content to be prompted includes: and replacing the content to be prompted in the page with the translation result of the second language type.

For example, if the character string of the first language type is "Cooperate" and corresponds to the translation result of the second language type, for example, "Cooperate", the "Cooperate" may be replaced by "Cooperate" in the position of the original character string "Cooperate" in the page, so that the display space of the display unit of the electronic device may be saved.

As an alternative embodiment, the method further comprises: judging whether the proportion of the content needing to be prompted in the content of the first language type is larger than a first preset proportion or not; if the proportion is larger than the first preset proportion, translating the content of the first language type according to the syntactic structure of the second language type to obtain a translation result; if the ratio is not greater than the first preset ratio, translating each character string of the content needing to be prompted in the content of the first language type respectively, or translating the same character string of the content needing to be prompted in the content of the first language type only once, for example, giving a translation prompt or giving a translation when the first language occurs, and the like, to obtain the translation result.

For example, the number of the character strings included in the content to be prompted and the total number of the character strings of the first language type included in the page may be counted, and then the proportion of the content to be prompted may be determined by dividing the number of the character strings included in the content to be prompted by the total number of the character strings; the first preset ratio is, for example: 30%, 40%, etc. If the proportion of the content to be prompted is smaller than a first preset proportion, it indicates that the user can roughly understand the character strings of the first language type in the page, and only a small number of character strings cannot understand the character strings, under this condition, a translation result can be provided for each character string of the content to be prompted in the content of the first language type, or the same character string of the content to be prompted in the content of the first language type can be translated only once to assist the user in identifying; if the proportion of the content to be prompted is greater than the first preset proportion, it indicates that most of the character strings of the first language type in the page are not understood by the user, and if translation is completely performed on each character string, the translation result of a single character string is not easy to be understood by the user due to the fact that the grammatical structure of the second language type may not be the same as the grammatical structure of the first language type, and under the condition, the content of the first language type in the page is translated integrally according to the grammatical structure of the second language type. In the scheme, the translation modes for translating the character strings in the first language type are different based on different numbers of the character strings in the first language type in the page, so that the method has more pertinence and is more convenient for a user to master the content of the character strings in the first language type.

Of course, in a specific implementation process, if the proportion of the content to be prompted in the content of the first language type is not greater than the first preset proportion, for each character string of the content to be prompted in the content of the first language type, translation results of a plurality of character strings associated with the character string may also be provided, for example: the translation phrase, the translation sentence and the like, or the same character string phrase or sentence aiming at the content needing prompting in the content of the first language type can be translated only once.

As an alternative embodiment, the method further comprises: judging whether the proportion of the content to be prompted in the content of the first language type is smaller than a second preset proportion or not; if the translation result is smaller than the second preset proportion, the translation result is not provided; and if the translation result is not smaller than the second preset proportion, executing the step of providing the translation result.

For example, the method for determining the proportion of the content to be prompted in the content of the first language type is not described herein again because the description is given above. The second preset ratio is, for example: 5%, 10%, and the like, if the proportion of the content needing to be prompted is smaller than the second preset proportion, it indicates that the user can often accurately acquire the content of the first language type, and therefore translation is not needed for the content, so as to reduce the processing load of the device; if the content is required to be prompted to occupy a ratio greater than the second preset ratio, it is indicated that the user often cannot accurately acquire the content of the first language type, and therefore translation is required to be performed on the content to assist the user in mastering the content.

In the specific implementation process, some operations may also be performed on the content in the page, for example:

(1) Receiving a first preset operation aiming at a first character string; and responding to the first preset operation, and determining the first character string as a character string which cannot be identified by the user.

For example, the first character string is a character string included in the content of the first language type, and the first predetermined operation is, for example: a selection operation, a click operation, a translation operation, etc., and if the first preset operation is detected, it indicates that the user may not recognize the first character string.

Further, after the first character string is determined to be the character string which cannot be recognized by the user, correlation processing may be performed on the first character string, for example: (1) providing translation results for the second language type for the first string; (2) by adding the first character string to the first database, it is possible to update the character string included in the first database, which is supposed to be unrecognizable by the user, based on the user's operation. Further, the number of times of providing the translation result for each character string can be counted, and if the number reaches a preset number (for example: 5, 10, etc.), the number can be deleted from the first database; or, if the difference between the time of generating the translation result for a certain character string last time and the current time is smaller than the preset time difference (for example, 1 hour, 1 day, etc.), the translation result corresponding to the character string may be deleted when the translation result is provided.

(2) Receiving a second preset operation aiming at a second character string; and responding to the second preset operation, and determining the second character string as a character string which can be recognized by the user.

For example, the second character string may be a character string of the first language type in which the translation result exists, or may be a translation result for a character string of the first language type, and the second preset operation may be, for example: a delete operation, a scribe operation, etc., if the second preset operation is detected, it is determined that the user may be able to recognize the second character string.

Further, after the second character string is determined as the character string that can be recognized by the user, some related processing may be performed on the second character string, for example: (1) deleting the translation result of the second language type of the second character string if the translation result of the second language type is provided for the second character string; (2) by adding the second character string to the second database, it is possible to update the character string included in the second database, which is recognizable by the presumed user, based on the user operation. Further, in the implementation process, the last time of the second character string appearing in the page may be counted, and it is determined whether the difference between the last time of the second character string and the current time is greater than a preset time difference (e.g., 1 day, 1 week, etc.), if so, the user may forget the meaning of the second character string, in which case, the second character string may be deleted from the second database.
