Detailed Description
Example one
Fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a map search method according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the map search method according to the present embodiment includes the following steps:
step 101: in response to a map search request, an offline map search and/or an online map search is selected based on offline map data conditions and network conditions. Here, the map search request may be a map search request generated by a user clicking a key operation for performing a map search on the user terminal, or may be a map search request generated by another program installed on the user terminal.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the search mode is no longer selected according to the preset settings set by the search option, but is selected according to the offline map data status and the network status when the user performs the map search, where the offline map data status may be: whether the off-line map data has been downloaded, whether the off-line map data is complete, whether the off-line map data is map data of an area where the user terminal is currently located, and the like, and the network condition may be whether a network connection exists in an environment where the user terminal is located, whether a network signal is available, whether a network delay is within a reasonable range, whether a network speed meets requirements, and the like.
In addition, in this step, before the search is performed using the selected search method, an operation of acquiring a keyword for map search input by the user may be further included, where the keyword may generally include a point of interest (POI) name keyword and/or a portal address keyword.
Further, the obtaining of the keyword for map search input by the user may specifically be: responding to the operation of inputting keywords by a user, associating and displaying the input keywords according to the search mode selected by the user, and responding to the keyword selection operation of the user to obtain the keywords selected by the user. In a specific application, when a user inputs a keyword, the user terminal may automatically perform association, first several of the association results may preferentially display a matching item in the search history, followed by less than 10 association results, and, in a general case, if an online map search is selected to be performed, the online association is used, and an offline map search is used, the offline association is used, thereby providing an association result corresponding to the selected search manner.
Step 102: and searching by using the selected searching mode, and outputting a searching result. Since the search results are generally multiple items, a certain ranking is required, and preferably, the ranking is performed according to the matching degree with the keywords or the distance from the position of the user terminal.
Based on the map searching method of the embodiment, when a user searches a map, the user does not need to care whether offline map data are downloaded or not, whether a network exists or not, the network condition and the like, and the user terminal can reasonably select to execute offline map searching and/or online map searching according to the current environment, so that a better searching result is provided for the user.
The selection mechanism of the search method will be described in detail below, and as an example, in step 101, the selection mechanism of the search method may be as shown in fig. 2 (for example, beijing), and different contents may be prompted or displayed according to the conditions that the search result is empty, the search result is not empty, and the search time is over. Specifically, the selection mechanism in step 101 can be classified into the following cases:
case a: an online map search is conducted in the absence of offline map data corresponding to the map search request and in the presence of available networks.
In this case, the search range may first be determined in the geographical sub-area in which the user terminal is located. Correspondingly, if a matching search result is obtained, outputting the search result may specifically be to sort and output the search result according to the matching degree with the keyword or the distance from the location where the user terminal is located.
If no matching search result is obtained or in response to a large area search request of the user (for example, the user is not satisfied with the search result in the range of the current geographic sub-area, the re-search is selected to be performed in the range of the large area through a key or an option on the human-computer interaction interface, and the like), the search range is determined to be used for searching in the large area. Correspondingly, in the case of determining the search range to search in a large area, outputting the search result includes: and outputting the names of the plurality of geographical sub-areas and the number of the search results corresponding to each geographical sub-area, and sequencing according to the number of the search results. The large area may include a plurality of geographical sub-areas, and in practical applications, the large area may be a large administrative area of a province or a country, and correspondingly, the geographical sub-areas may be administrative areas such as cities. When a large area search is performed, the search results may be displayed in a list of recommended provinces and cities and the corresponding number of search results.
Case B: offline map searches are conducted in the presence of offline map data and no available networks. In the case of an off-line map search, the search range is preferably determined to be in the current geographical sub-area in which the user terminal is located. In actual use, the user terminal generally downloads or caches an offline map of a geographic sub-area in which the user terminal is located (if the user frequently moves in the geographic sub-area), and therefore, it is reasonable to set the search range in the current geographic sub-area in an offline state. Correspondingly, the operation of outputting the search result in step 102 may specifically be: and sorting and outputting the search results according to the matching degree with the keywords or the distance between the search results and the position of the user terminal.
Case C: in the presence of offline map data and available networks, offline map searches and/or online map searches are selected according to user preference settings. In the case where the user preference is set to prioritize the online map search, the network status may be further determined, and if the network status is above a preset criterion (e.g., the network status is good), the online map search may be performed, and if the network status is below the preset criterion (e.g., in a weak network environment), the offline map search may be performed. And if the user preference is set to be the priority of the offline map search, directly performing the offline map search. The specific manner of outputting the search result may be the same as the offline map search and the online map search in the above-described case a and case B. Of course, a mode of combining offline map search and online map search may also be adopted according to specific situations, for example, a mode of mainly offline map search and secondarily online map search is adopted, so that network traffic can be saved for a user, and a more preferable search result can be provided.
Case D: and under the condition that the off-line map data corresponding to the map search request does not exist and the available network does not exist, not performing the map search and returning the result of the search failure.
The situations A and B are not influenced by user preference setting or search option setting, selection is carried out according to the judgment result of the user terminal, and further selection is carried out according to the user preference setting only under the situation C, so that objective conditions of the user terminal are reasonably combined with the user preference, and an optimal map search mode is provided for the user. In addition, under the condition that online map searching can be carried out, a mechanism for further selecting searching in a large area is provided for the user, and wider searching can be further carried out according to the requirement of the user, so that the user requirement under various use conditions can be met, and the user experience is greatly improved.
