Abstract
A method for displaying an associated term includes obtaining a search term entered in a search bar; determining an associated term corresponding to the search term; determining an application corresponding to the associated term; and displaying the associated term and an identifier corresponding to the associated term, where the identifier is used to open the application corresponding to the associated term corresponding to the identifier. The method for displaying the associated term may facilitate interaction between a user and another application on the terminal device when the user performs searching in a search engine of the terminal device.
Core Innovation
A search term entered in a search bar is obtained and, in response, an associated term is displayed. The associated term corresponds to the search term and an application corresponds to the associated term.
An identifier corresponding to the associated term is displayed together with the associated term. The identifier opens the application corresponding to the associated term, and the identifier corresponding to the associated term comprises an application icon of the application corresponding to the associated term.
The terminal device determines associated terms for the user-entered search term and maps each associated term to a content domain and an application. The terminal device displays associated terms with an identifier that opens the corresponding application or opens a menu listing applications within the domain.
Claims Coverage
The document includes three independent claims covering a method, a terminal device, and a computer program product. The claims center on obtaining a search term, displaying an associated term with an identifier, and using an application icon identifier to open the application corresponding to the associated term.
Associated term display linked to application icon identifier
Obtaining a search term entered in a search bar; and displaying an associated term and an identifier corresponding to the associated term, wherein the associated term corresponds to the search term, wherein an application corresponds to the associated term, wherein the identifier opens the application corresponding to the associated term, and wherein the identifier corresponding to the associated term comprises an application icon of the application corresponding to the associated term.
Terminal device configured to open application via associated-term application icon identifier
Obtain a search term entered in a search bar; and display an associated term and an identifier corresponding to the associated term, wherein the associated term corresponds to the search term, wherein an application corresponds to the associated term, wherein the identifier is used to open the application corresponding to the associated term, and wherein the identifier corresponding to the associated term comprises an application icon of the application corresponding to the associated term.
Computer program product for associated-term application icon identifier search behavior
When executed by one or more processors, cause a terminal device to obtain a search term entered in a search bar; and display an associated term and an identifier corresponding to the associated term, wherein the associated term corresponds to the search term, wherein an application corresponds to the associated term, wherein the identifier is used to open the application corresponding to the associated term, and wherein the identifier corresponding to the associated term comprises an application icon of the application corresponding to the associated term.
The claims consistently center on associating a user search term with associated terms, displaying each associated term with an identifier, and using an application icon in the identifier to open the application corresponding to the associated term, including terminal device and program-product embodiments.
