Description
本發明係有關於搜尋方法，尤其更有關於協助使用者快速搜尋電子裝置中的內容的搜尋方法。 The present invention relates to a search method, and more particularly to a search method for assisting a user in quickly searching for content in an electronic device.
現有的智慧型電子裝置，例如智慧型行動電話或平板電腦等，皆可依據使用者的需求來下載並安裝對應的應用程式，例如遊戲、新聞、影音播放、即時通訊、拍照、記帳本或電子地圖等應用程式，藉以滿足使用者的各種需求。 Existing smart electronic devices, such as smart mobile phones or tablets, can download and install corresponding applications according to user needs, such as games, news, video playback, instant messaging, photo taking, billing books or electronic Applications such as maps can be used to meet the various needs of users.
然而，當電子裝置中的應用程式數量繁多時，使用者就難以在第一時間內，直接在電子裝置上找到所需的應用程式。是以，現行的智慧型電子裝置一般都會提供一搜尋頁面(如第一圖所示的搜尋頁面11)，讓使用者能夠以搜尋的方式，快速找到所需的應用程式。 However, when the number of applications in the electronic device is large, it is difficult for the user to find the desired application directly on the electronic device in the first time. Therefore, the current smart electronic devices generally provide a search page (such as the search page 11 shown in the first figure), so that the user can quickly find the desired application by searching.
請參閱第一圖，為現有技術的搜尋模式示意圖。第一圖中係以一平板電腦1為例，該平板電腦1提供了該搜尋頁面11，該搜尋頁面11中包括了一搜尋欄位12，並且，該平板電腦1還提供一虛擬鍵盤13，以供使用者輸入文字、數字或符號。 Please refer to the first figure for a schematic diagram of the prior art search mode. In the first figure, a tablet computer 1 is provided. The tablet computer 1 provides the search page 11, the search page 11 includes a search field 12, and the tablet computer 1 further provides a virtual keyboard 13. For the user to enter text, numbers or symbols.
一般來說，使用者可以操作該平板電腦1上的該虛擬鍵盤13，藉 以直接將要搜尋的關鍵字輸入該搜尋欄位12之中，該平板電腦1再依據使用者手動輸入的關鍵字來進行搜尋。然而，當使用者進行越多次的輸入動作，則發生人為輸入錯誤的機率就會越高。更甚者，使用者在每一次進行搜尋動作時，都必須手動輸入要搜尋的關鍵字，因此，即使使用者這次要搜尋的目標與上一次搜尋的目標相同，但仍然需要重新輸入要搜尋的關鍵字，這是相當沒有效率的作法。 Generally, the user can operate the virtual keyboard 13 on the tablet 1 and borrow The keyword to be searched directly is input into the search field 12, and the tablet 1 searches for the keyword manually input by the user. However, when the user performs more than one input action, the probability of a human input error is higher. What's more, the user must manually enter the keyword to be searched each time the search action is performed. Therefore, even if the user searches for the same target as the previous search, it still needs to re-enter the search. Keywords, this is quite inefficient.
並且，於很多時候，使用者常常會想要搜尋某一特定的目標，例如具有特定功能之應用程式，或是具有特定內容之檔案，但無法於第一時間想起該目標之名稱。如此一來，即使該平板電腦1提供了這樣的搜尋服務，但在使用者忘記要搜尋的目標的名稱時，這樣的搜尋服務即無用武之地。 Also, in many cases, users often want to search for a specific target, such as an application with a specific function, or a file with specific content, but cannot remember the name of the target in the first place. In this way, even if the tablet 1 provides such a search service, such a search service is useless when the user forgets the name of the target to be searched.
有鑑於此，市場上實應提出另一種搜尋方式，可以通過邊看邊找的方式，有效協助使用者快速地找到要搜尋的目標，並且，即使使用者臨時想不起來要搜尋的目標的名稱，亦可通過這樣的方式來進行搜尋，並於搜尋過程中重新喚起使用者對於要搜尋的目標之記憶。 In view of this, the market should propose another search method, which can help the user to quickly find the target to be searched by looking and looking, and even if the user temporarily cannot remember the name of the target to be searched. You can also search in this way and recall the user's memory of the target to be searched during the search.
本發明之主要目的，在於提供一種電子裝置的內容搜尋方法及其應用程式，係可令使用者通過邊看邊找的方式來搜尋電子裝置的內容，藉此，即使使用者忘記要搜尋的內容之名稱，亦可順利進行搜尋動作，並且在搜尋過程中，重新喚起使用者對於要搜尋的內容之記憶。 The main object of the present invention is to provide a content search method for an electronic device and an application program thereof, which enable a user to search for content of an electronic device by looking and looking, thereby even if the user forgets the content to be searched. The name can also smoothly perform the search action, and in the search process, reawaken the user's memory of the content to be searched.
本發明之另一主要目的，在於提供一種電子裝置的內容搜尋方法及其應用程式，係可在使用者要搜尋電子裝置的內容時，直接引用使用者上一次的搜尋經驗，藉以協助使用者快速地找到要搜尋的內容。 Another main object of the present invention is to provide a content search method for an electronic device and an application thereof, which can directly refer to a user's last search experience when the user searches for the content of the electronic device, thereby assisting the user in quickly Find the content you want to search for.
為達上述目的，本發明係由電子裝置針對內部的所有內容來建立一字首列表，並且，當使用者操作電子裝置進入一搜尋模式時，電子裝置自動提供字首列表以供使用者進行選取。當使用者選取了字首列表中的任一字首時，自動將被選取的字首填入搜尋欄位，以做為搜尋關鍵字並進行搜尋作業，進而顯示搜尋結果。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention establishes a prefix list for all contents of the internal device by the electronic device, and when the user operates the electronic device to enter a search mode, the electronic device automatically provides a prefix list for the user to select. . When the user selects any of the prefixes in the prefix list, the selected prefix is automatically filled into the search field as a search keyword and a search operation is performed to display the search result.
由於使用者在進行搜尋時，未必會在第一時間就想起要目標的內容的名稱，因而會造成搜尋困難。本發明對照先前技術所能達成之功效在於，電子裝置可在使用者搜尋時，自動提供內部所有內容的名稱之字首，以供使用者進行選擇。並且，以邊看邊找的型態，可幫助使用者在搜尋過程中重新喚起目標的內容的名稱，藉以成功找到要搜尋的目標。另一方面，透過這種“隨看即搜”的方式，還可有效地加快搜尋的速度。 Since the user does not necessarily remember the name of the content to be targeted at the first time when searching, it may cause difficulty in searching. The effect achieved by the present invention over the prior art is that the electronic device can automatically provide a prefix of the name of all internal contents when the user searches for the user to make a selection. Moreover, the type of looking for while looking at the user can help the user to re-awaken the name of the target content during the search process, so as to successfully find the target to be searched. On the other hand, through this "look and see" approach, it can also effectively speed up the search.

First, as shown in the third figure, when the user wants to search the content of the electronic device 2 (for example, searching for the plurality of applications 26), the electronic device 2 is first operated to cause the electronic device 2 to enter a search mode. (Step S10). As shown in the fourth figure, when the electronic device 2 enters the search mode, a search page 31 is mainly displayed. The search page 31 provides a search field 32 and a virtual keyboard 33. The virtual keyboard 33 can provide The user manually enters the keyword of the content to be searched into the search field 32. And as shown in the figure, the electronic device 2 provides a prefix list 27 in the search page 31 (step S12). Moreover, the prefix list 27 is displayed on the touch screen 21 of the electronic device 2 for use by the user.
本實施例中，該字首列表27主要記錄了該電子裝置2中的所有內容的名稱之字首，例如圖中所示，該字首列表27至少包括了“W”、“Y”、“下”、“台”、“地”、“相”等字首，表示該電子裝置2中至少儲存有名稱之字首為“W”、“Y”、“下”、“台”、“地”、“相”的多個應用程式26，例如「WhatsApp」、「Yahoo message」、「台灣好行」等。並且，該字首列表27中的字首主要係可依照文字順序進行排列，也就是說，本實施例在英文字首“W”、“Y”之後，即接續出現中文字首“下”，表示該電子裝置2中不包括任何名稱的字首為“Z”的內容。然而，以上所述僅為本發明的一較佳具體例，該字首列表27中的字首當然亦可不依照順序進行排列，應視使用者實際所需而定，不應以此為限。 In this embodiment, the prefix list 27 mainly records the prefix of the name of all the contents in the electronic device 2, for example, as shown in the figure, the prefix list 27 includes at least "W", "Y", " The words "lower", "stage", "ground", "phase", etc. indicate that at least the prefix of the name stored in the electronic device 2 is "W", "Y", "lower", "stage", "ground" "," "phase" multiple applications 26, such as "WhatsApp", "Yahoo message", "Taiwan good line" and so on. Moreover, the prefixes in the prefix list 27 are mainly arranged in the order of the characters. That is to say, in the present embodiment, after the English prefixes "W" and "Y", the Chinese characters first "below" are successively displayed. Indicates that the electronic device 2 does not include any content whose name is "Z". However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The prefixes in the prefix list 27 may of course not be arranged in order, and should be determined according to the actual needs of the user, and should not be limited thereto.
當該電子裝置2進入該搜尋模式後，該電子裝置2會自動判斷使用者是否曾經搜尋過(步驟S14)，即，該電子裝置2中是否有上一次的搜尋記錄。若該電子裝置2曾經被使用者搜尋過，則該電子裝置2會自動讀取使用者上一次的搜尋經驗，即，上一次搜尋的目標內容的名稱，並且更具體而言，是讀取該名稱之字首(步驟S16)，並將該字首填入該搜尋欄位32之中(步驟S18)，以作為搜尋之關鍵字。如第四圖所示，假設使用者上一次的搜尋動作，是搜尋該電子裝置2中的「WhatsApp」這個應用程式26，則，因該應用程式26的名稱之字首為“W”，因此當該電子裝置2進入該搜尋模式時，會自動取得“W”這個字首，並將其填入該搜尋欄位 32中，以做為搜尋之關鍵字。 After the electronic device 2 enters the search mode, the electronic device 2 automatically determines whether the user has searched (step S14), that is, whether the electronic device 2 has the last search record. If the electronic device 2 has been searched by the user, the electronic device 2 automatically reads the user's last search experience, that is, the name of the target content of the last search, and more specifically, reads the The prefix of the name (step S16) is filled in the search field 32 (step S18) as a search key. As shown in the fourth figure, it is assumed that the last search operation of the user searches for the "WhatsApp" application 26 in the electronic device 2, since the prefix of the name of the application 26 is "W", When the electronic device 2 enters the search mode, the prefix "W" is automatically obtained and filled in the search field. 32, as a keyword for search.
該步驟S18之後，該電子裝置2會自動以被填入該搜尋欄位32中之該字首進行第一次的搜尋，並將搜尋結果顯示於該觸控螢幕21上(步驟S20)。如第四圖所示，該電子裝置2中名稱之字首為“W”的內容，包含了「WhatsApp」、「W.TV」及「Winamp」等三個應用程式26，因此該電子裝置2在搜尋之後，會將這三個符合關鍵字的應用程式26同時顯示於該觸控螢幕21上。於本實施例中，若使用者要搜尋的內容即為上一次搜尋的目標內容(例如上述的「WhatsApp」應用程式)，則通過本發明，使用者不必手動輸入任何關鍵字，就可以直接、快速地得到想要的該目標內容。 After the step S18, the electronic device 2 automatically performs the first search with the prefix filled in the search field 32, and displays the search result on the touch screen 21 (step S20). As shown in the fourth figure, the content of the name of the electronic device 2 is "W", and includes three applications 26 such as "WhatsApp", "W.TV" and "Winamp", so the electronic device 2 After the search, the three keyword-compliant applications 26 are simultaneously displayed on the touch screen 21. In this embodiment, if the content to be searched by the user is the target content of the last search (for example, the "WhatsApp" application described above), the user can directly, without having to manually input any keyword by using the present invention. Get the desired content of the target quickly.
最後，使用者可依據該觸控螢幕21上顯示的搜尋結果，判斷是否找到要搜尋的內容(步驟S22)。若確實找到要搜尋的內容(即，該應用程式26)，使用者可直接在該觸控螢幕21上點選所需的該應用程式26，藉以令該電子裝置2執行被點選的該應用程式26；若沒有找到要搜尋的內容，則使用者還可通過本發明所揭露之其他實施方式，進行更進一步的搜尋動作。 Finally, the user can determine whether to find the content to be searched according to the search result displayed on the touch screen 21 (step S22). If the content to be searched (ie, the application 26) is found, the user can directly select the desired application 26 on the touch screen 21, so that the electronic device 2 executes the selected application. The program 26; if the content to be searched is not found, the user can perform further search operations through other embodiments disclosed in the present invention.
再者，若於上述該步驟S14中，判斷使用者不曾搜尋過，則表示該電子裝置2中沒有任何搜尋記錄可被讀取。於此一狀況下，該電子裝置2會自動讀取該字首列表27中第一個內容的名稱之字首(步驟S24)，並且，將該字首填入該搜尋欄位32中，以做為搜尋關鍵字，並且自動進行搜尋動作(容後詳述)。也就是說，無論該電子裝置2是否曾經搜尋過，只要一進入該搜尋模式，該電子裝置2就會自動進行第一次的搜尋動作，並顯示出搜尋結果，差別僅在於所使用的搜尋關鍵字是來自上一次的搜尋記錄，或是來自該字 首列表27。 Furthermore, if it is determined in the above step S14 that the user has not searched, it means that no search record in the electronic device 2 can be read. In this case, the electronic device 2 automatically reads the prefix of the name of the first content in the prefix list 27 (step S24), and fills the prefix into the search field 32 to As a search keyword, and automatically perform the search action (detailed later). That is to say, regardless of whether the electronic device 2 has searched, the electronic device 2 automatically performs the first search operation and displays the search result as soon as the search mode is entered. The difference lies only in the search key used. The word is from the last search record, or from the word First list 27.
