Lexicon-based entry processing method and apparatus

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide a lexicon-based entry processing method and apparatus. The method comprises the steps of obtaining an entry; storing the entry in a temporary lexicon; in the temporary lexicon, setting a validity period for the entry; and if the entry is not displayed in the validity period, deleting the entry in the temporary lexicon. On one hand, the entry with the timeliness can be stored in the temporary lexicon and can directly serve as a candidate item when being input by a user, so that the user is prevented from inputting characters one by one and the input efficiency of the user is improved; and on the other hand, the entry in the temporary lexicon is automatically deleted through display operation in the validity period, so that the capacity of the temporary lexicon is ensured to be relatively small, the capacity of a lexicon of an input method system is ensured to be larger than that of an existing lexicon, the quantity of entries in the lexicon is greatly reduced, the accuracy of a preferred word during user input is ensured, and reasonable resource occupation of computing devices such as a CPU, a memory and the like is ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of input methods, in particular to a lexicon-based entry processing method and a thesaurus-based entry processing device. Background technique [0002] With the popularization and development of computer technology, input methods have become an important tool for users to interact with computers. Users of different professional fields, interests and usage habits have higher and higher requirements for the intelligence of input methods. [0003] At present, the lexicon of the input method generally covers a part of the vocabulary used by the user, usually including some commonly used words, and some words are not covered by the lexicon of the input method. [0004] In daily life, many current affairs news are hot topics of discussion, such as the Olympic Games, typhoon, etc. This is because the current affairs news appears for a short time. When users discuss these current affairs news, some words need to be ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The lexicon is too large, there are too many homophones, and the number of candidates increases. The probability of using these words among the overall users is relatively low. Users who do not need to use these words will be disturbed, resulting in a low accuracy rate of the preferred words when users input

[0007] Moreover, a large thesaurus will greatly occupy the resources of computing devices such as CPU (Central Processing Unit, central processing unit) and internal memory.
