Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

When the user uses the input method, the input method can convert the character strings input by the user into corresponding candidate items for displaying, and the candidate items selected by the user can be displayed on a screen to realize input. However, since the terminal display area is limited, all the candidates corresponding to the character string cannot be displayed at one time. When there are many candidates, the input method may present the candidates in pages, and each time, only present the candidates in one candidate presentation page.

The conventional candidate item display mode has a small number of displayed candidate items in a candidate item display page, so that the candidate items which a user actually wants to be displayed on a screen cannot be displayed to the user at the first time by inputting a character string, namely the candidate items may not appear in a candidate item display first page and can be found by turning the page of the candidate item display page, so that the input cost of the user is increased, and the input experience of the user is reduced.

Therefore, the candidate item display method is provided in the embodiment of the application, so that more candidate items can be displayed on the candidate item display home page, the possibility that a user can see the required candidate items on the screen at the first time is improved, the input cost of the user is reduced, and the input experience of the user is improved.

As an example, the candidate item presentation method provided in the embodiment of the present application may be applied to a scenario shown in fig. 1, where the scenario may include the terminal 102. The terminal 102 may be a device installed with an input method, for example, a mobile phone, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, an e-book reader, a motion Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV (MP 4) player, a wearable device (such as a smart watch), a laptop, and the like.

The input method mentioned in the embodiment of the present application may be an encoding method adopted for inputting various symbols into the terminal 102, and the user 101 may conveniently use the input method to screen candidate items corresponding to input character strings onto an interface of the terminal 102 or an opened document. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, besides the common chinese input method (such as pinyin input method, wubi input method, zhuyin input method, etc.), the input method may also include other languages (such as japanese hiragana input method, korean input method, etc.).

Specifically, when the user 101 inputs a character string through an input method in the terminal 102, the terminal 102 may acquire the character string, and the terminal 102 may determine a plurality of candidates corresponding to the character string according to the character string.

The character string may be a string of characters corresponding to the content that the user 101 wants to input into the terminal 102, and the character string may include characters, letters, numbers, symbols, and the like. It is understood that the composition form of the character string may be determined according to the input manner of the character string. For example, when the input mode of the character string is voice input or input through a handwriting keyboard, the composition form of one character string may be a character or a character combination, for example, when the user 101 wants to input a word "tomorrow" by using the voice input function in the input method, the user 101 may input voice information corresponding to the word "tomorrow" through the voice input key in the input method, and then the input method may determine that the input character string is the word "tomorrow" according to the voice information. For another example, when the input mode of the character string is input through a pinyin keyboard or a stroke keyboard in the input method, the composition form of a character string may be a syllable or a syllable combination corresponding to the content to be input, or a stroke sequence corresponding to the content to be input, or a specific identifier corresponding to the content to be input, for example, when the user 101 wants to input a word, such as a word "eat", by using the pinyin keyboard in the input method, the character string input by the user 101 may be a syllable combination "chi' fan" corresponding to "eat"; when the user 101 wants to input a word using the stroke keyboard of the input method, such as "happy" word, the character string input by the user 101 is "happy" with the corresponding stroke sequence "rqw". It should be noted that, besides the above possible manners, the composition form of a character string may also have other different composition forms according to the actual situation, and details are not described here.

The candidate item may be a content such as a word or a symbol displayed by the input method according to the character string input by the user 101, for example, when the input method is a pinyin input method, the candidate item may be a chinese character; when the input method is a hiragana input method, the candidate items can be Japanese Chinese characters; when the input method is a Korean input method, the candidate item can be a Korean character. It should be noted here that the language category of the candidate may be other different language categories besides the above possible manners, and the language category of the candidate is not limited herein.

For convenience of description, in the following embodiments, the input method of the character string is mainly input through a pinyin keyboard in the input method, and the character combination in the character string is taken as an example to be described as a syllable or a syllable combination corresponding to the content to be input.

After the terminal 102 determines the corresponding candidate items according to the acquired character string, the terminal may determine whether a preset condition is satisfied, and if so, it may be explicitly required to display more candidate items on a candidate item display home page, so that the display policy may be switched from a first display policy to a second display policy, and the terminal 102 may display the candidate items according to the second display policy. The presentation policy may be understood as a presentation manner of the candidate item in the candidate item presentation page, and may include, for example, a word size of the candidate item in the candidate item presentation page, a range size of a presentation area of the candidate item presentation page, presentation content of the candidate item in the candidate item presentation page, and the like. It is to be understood that the candidate item presentation page may be a region for presenting candidate items, wherein the candidate item presentation top page may be the first page in the candidate item presentation page.

It should be noted that the second presentation policy may be a presentation policy different from the first presentation policy, for example, a presentation manner of the candidate items in the top page presented by the candidate items under the second presentation policy is different from a presentation manner of the candidate items in the top page presented by the candidate items under the first presentation policy. Therefore, the number of the candidate items displayed on the candidate item display home page according to the second display strategy is larger than that of the candidate items displayed on the candidate item display home page according to the first display strategy, that is, more candidate items can be displayed on the candidate item display home page relative to the first display strategy according to the second display strategy, so that the possibility that a user can see the required candidate items on the screen at the first time is improved, the input cost of the user is reduced, and the input experience of the user is improved. In one possible implementation manner, the first display policy may be understood as a default display policy of the input method.

Various non-limiting embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Next, a candidate item presentation method provided by the present application will be described by taking an input method in which the candidate item presentation method provided by the present application is applied to a terminal as an example. Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a candidate item display method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As shown in fig. 2, the following steps may be included:

s201: and determining a plurality of corresponding candidate items according to the acquired character strings.

After the character string is obtained, a plurality of candidate items corresponding to the character string and a display order of the candidate items may be determined according to the character string, for example, the input method may query in a related lexicon according to the obtained character string to determine the candidate items corresponding to the character string and the display order of the candidate items.

For example, assuming that the user wishes to input five chinese characters, i.e., "happy birthday" into the terminal, the user may first input the pinyin string "shengrikuaile" (i.e., character string) through the keyboard in the input method. Then, the input method may query in the related lexicon according to the pinyin string "shengrikuaile", and determine that three candidate items corresponding to the pinyin string "shengrikuaile" are "happy birthday", "happy birthday o", and "happy birthday haar", respectively, and display orders of the three candidate items.

For another example, assuming that the user wishes to input five characters, namely "happy birthday" into the terminal, the user can input four characters, namely "happy birthday" (i.e. character strings) through the handwriting keyboard in the input method. Then, the input method may query in the related lexicon according to the four Chinese characters "happy birthday", and determine that three candidate items corresponding to the four Chinese characters "happy birthday" are "happy birthday", "happy birthday" and "happy birthday haar", respectively, and display orders of the three candidate items.

S202: and when a preset condition is met, switching the display strategy from the first display strategy to the second display strategy.

S203: and displaying the candidate items according to the second display strategy.

It can be understood that, after determining the corresponding candidate items according to the acquired character string, if the number of the candidate items corresponding to the character string is greater than the number of the candidate items displayed on the candidate item display top page according to the first display policy, that is, the candidate item display top page under the first display policy cannot display all the candidate items corresponding to the character string, it indicates that the candidate item that the user actually wants to go to the screen may not appear in the candidate item display top page, and the user needs to turn the page of the candidate item display page to find the candidate item.

Therefore, in this embodiment, after determining the corresponding candidate items according to the acquired character string, it may be determined whether a preset condition is met, and if the preset condition is met, it may be determined that more candidate items need to be displayed on the candidate item display home page. Therefore, the display strategy for displaying the candidate items can be switched from the first display strategy to the second display strategy, and the candidate items corresponding to the character strings can be displayed according to the second display strategy, so that more candidate items can be displayed on the candidate item display first page relative to the first display strategy according to the second display strategy. It should be noted that the preset condition and the second display strategy in the present embodiment will be described in detail later.

In the following, the preset condition and the second presentation strategy will be described in detail.

First, the preset conditions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the preset condition may include multiple situations, for example, the display policy for displaying the candidate items is preset by the user, or multiple candidate items corresponding to the character string meet the requirement that more candidate items need to be displayed. The following will be specifically described for the two cases:

in the first case: the showing strategy of the candidate item showing is preset by the user.

In this embodiment, the preset condition may include that the presentation policy of the candidate presentation is preset by the user as the second presentation policy. Specifically, after determining the multiple candidate items corresponding to the character string, it may be determined whether the user sets the display policy displayed by the multiple candidate items as a second display policy in advance; if yes, it is determined that the preset condition is met, that is, it is clear that the user wants to be able to display more candidates in the candidate display home page. Therefore, the display strategy of the candidate item display can be switched from the first display strategy to the second display strategy, and the candidate items corresponding to the character string are displayed according to the second display strategy.

Continuing with the example of the pinyin string "shengrikuaile" in S201. After determining that the three corresponding candidate items are 'happy birthday', 'happy birthday' and 'happy birthday Ha' respectively according to the pinyin string 'shengrikuaile'. If it is determined that the display strategy displayed by the candidate item by the user through the input method is set as the second display strategy in advance, it may be determined that the preset condition is satisfied, the display strategy displayed by the candidate item may be switched from the first display strategy to the second display strategy, and the three candidate items corresponding to the pinyin string "shengrikuaile" are displayed according to the second display strategy, so as to display the three candidate items "happy birthday", "happy birthday" and "happy birthday" corresponding to the pinyin string "shengrikuaile" in the candidate item display top page according to the second display strategy.

In the second case: the multiple candidate items corresponding to the character string meet the requirement that more candidate items need to be displayed.

In the embodiment, after determining the multiple candidate items corresponding to the character string, the input method may automatically determine whether the multiple candidate items meet the requirement of showing more candidate items; if yes, the preset condition can be determined to be met, that is, more candidate items can be clearly displayed in the candidate item display home page, so that the input requirement of the user can be met.

It can be understood that, under the condition that the user does not preset a presentation strategy for presenting the candidate items, the input method can autonomously and dynamically set a presentation strategy for presenting the candidate items according to the candidate items corresponding to the real-time input character string; for example, when a plurality of candidate items corresponding to the character string meet the requirement that more candidate items need to be displayed, that is, when a preset condition is met, the display policy for displaying the candidate items may be switched from the first display policy to the second display policy, so that more candidate items can be displayed on the candidate item display home page relative to the first display policy according to the second display policy; for another example, when the candidate items corresponding to the character string do not meet the requirement that more candidate items need to be presented, the presentation policy for presenting the candidate items may be switched back to the first presentation policy. Therefore, in the process of using the input method by the user, the input method can determine the input requirement of the user according to the input condition of the user, and can autonomously and dynamically switch the display strategy for displaying the candidate items according to the input requirement of the user, so that the input requirement of the user is met, and the input experience of the user is improved.

Specifically, in a case that a plurality of candidate items corresponding to the character string meet a requirement that more candidate items need to be displayed, the preset condition may include any one or more of the following combinations:

the first mode is as follows: the number of candidates of the plurality of candidates is greater than a first threshold.

The first threshold may be determined according to the number of candidates shown in the candidate showing top page, for example, the first threshold may be greater than the number of candidates shown in the candidate showing top page.

It should be noted that, if the number of the candidate items corresponding to the character string input by the user is greater than the first threshold, it is indicated that the number of the candidate items corresponding to the character string is greater than the number of the candidate items displayed on the first display policy, which is far greater than the number of the candidate items displayed on the first display policy, so that the possibility that the candidate items actually desired to be displayed on the screen by the user appear on the first display policy is greatly reduced, and the candidate items actually desired to be displayed on the screen by the user can be found by turning the page of the candidate item display page.

Specifically, after determining a plurality of candidate items corresponding to the character string, the number of the candidate items may be determined, and whether the number of the candidate items is greater than a first threshold value is determined; if so, it may be determined that the condition is satisfied, that is, it may be determined that more candidates can be displayed in the candidate display home page. Therefore, the display strategy of the candidate item display can be switched from the first display strategy to the second display strategy, and the candidate items corresponding to the character string are displayed according to the second display strategy.

For example, assume that the first threshold is 30, and the character string input by the user is the pinyin string "bushi", which corresponds to 64 candidates. After determining that the number of candidate items corresponding to the pinyin string "bushi" is 64, it may be determined whether the number of candidate items corresponding to the pinyin string "bushi" is greater than a first threshold. Because the number 64 of the candidate items corresponding to the pinyin string "bushi" is greater than the first threshold value 30, it may be determined that the preset condition is satisfied, the presentation policy for candidate item presentation may be switched from the first presentation policy to the second presentation policy, and a plurality of candidate items corresponding to the pinyin string "bushi" may be presented according to the second presentation policy, so that the number of candidate items corresponding to the character string "bushi" presented on the first page of candidate item presentation under the second presentation policy is more than that presented by the first presentation policy.

The second mode is as follows: and the number of the candidate items displayed on the candidate item display home page is smaller than a second threshold value according to the first display strategy.

It should be noted that, when multiple candidate items corresponding to an input character string are displayed according to a first display policy, if the number of the multiple candidate items is greater than the number of the candidate items displayed on the candidate item display top page, and the number of the candidate items displayed on the candidate item display top page is less than a second threshold, it is indicated that the number of the candidate items displayed on the candidate item display top page according to the first display policy is too small, so that the possibility that the candidate items actually wanted to be on screen by a user appear on the display top page is greatly reduced, and the candidate items actually wanted to be on screen by the user can be found by turning pages of the candidate item display page. It should be noted that the second threshold may be the same as or different from the first threshold, and is not limited herein.

Therefore, in this embodiment, after determining the candidate items corresponding to the character string, the number of the candidate items displayed on the first page of the candidate item display may be determined first when the candidate items are displayed according to the first display policy. If the number of the candidate items is greater than the number of the candidate items shown on the candidate item showing home page, whether the number of the candidate items shown on the candidate item showing home page is less than a second threshold value or not can be judged; if so, it may be determined that the condition is satisfied, that is, it may be determined that more candidates may be displayed in the candidate display home page. Therefore, the display strategy of the candidate item display can be switched from the first display strategy to the second display strategy, and the candidate items corresponding to the character string are displayed according to the second display strategy.

For example, assume that the first threshold is 3, and the character string input by the user is a pinyin string "shengrikuaile", and the number of candidate items corresponding to the pinyin string "shengrikuaile" is 3. Since the candidate words displayed on the candidate display top page may be determined to be "happy birthday" and "happy birthday o" according to the first display policy, that is, the number of the candidate items displayed on the candidate display top page under the first display policy is 2. That is, the number of candidate items corresponding to the pinyin string "shengrikuaile" is greater than the number of candidate items displayed on the candidate item display top page according to the first display policy, so that it can be determined whether the number of candidate items displayed on the candidate item display top page is less than the second threshold. Because the number 2 of the candidate items displayed on the candidate item display home page is smaller than the first threshold value 3, it can be determined that the preset condition is satisfied, the display strategy displayed by the candidate items can be switched from the first display strategy to the second display strategy, and the three candidate items corresponding to the pinyin string "shengrikuaile" are displayed according to the second display strategy, so that the number of the candidate items corresponding to the character string "shengrikuaile" displayed on the candidate item display home page under the second display strategy is more than that of the candidate items displayed on the first display strategy.

The third mode is as follows: and N candidate items in the candidate item presentation first page have a public part according to the first presentation strategy.

It should be noted that, when multiple candidate items corresponding to the input character string are displayed according to the first display policy, if N candidate items displayed in the candidate item display top page have a common part (N is a positive integer greater than 1), it is described that the candidate items displayed in the candidate item display top page have repeated contents. The common part of the candidates may be understood as the same character or character string that at least two candidates have, for example, the common part of the candidate "no eat" and the candidate "no pubic" is the character "no". Because a plurality of public parts in the candidate item display home page under the first display strategy repeatedly occupy the display area of the candidate item display home page, the number of the candidate items displayed by the candidate item display home page is reduced, the possibility that the candidate items which a user actually wants to go to the screen appear in the candidate item display home page is greatly reduced, and the user needs to turn the page of the candidate item display page to find the candidate items which the user actually wants to go to the screen.

In this embodiment, after determining the candidate items corresponding to the character string, it may be determined that the candidate items are displayed on the first page when the candidate items are displayed according to the first display policy. Then, it may be determined whether the candidate item presented on the candidate item presentation home page has a common part; if, for example, all the candidates in the candidate item presentation page have a common part, or at least two candidates in the candidate item presentation page have a common part, it may be determined that a condition is satisfied, that is, it may be explicitly required that more candidates can be presented in the candidate item presentation top page. Therefore, the display strategy of the candidate item display can be switched from the first display strategy to the second display strategy, and the candidate items corresponding to the character string are displayed according to the second display strategy.

For example, it is assumed that the character string input by the user is the pinyin string "nislashi", and when a plurality of candidates corresponding to the pinyin string "nislashi" are displayed according to the first display policy, the candidates displayed on the candidate display top page include "when you are", "when you are back". When determining that a plurality of candidate items corresponding to the pinyin string "nisshashi" are displayed according to the first display policy, after the candidate items are displayed on the top page, it may be determined whether the candidate items displayed on the top page of the candidate item display have a public portion. Because this candidate item demonstrates the candidate item "when you were demonstrated" and "when you were back" have public part "when you were", consequently, can confirm to satisfy the preset condition to can show the show strategy that the candidate item demonstrates from first show strategy switch to this second show strategy, and show a plurality of candidate items that this pinyin string "nisshashi" corresponds according to this second show strategy, show more for first show strategy with the candidate item quantity that the character string "nisshashi" that the candidate item demonstrates the first page of this second show strategy corresponds.

After the preset conditions in the embodiment of the present application are introduced, how to present more candidates in the candidate presenting top page will be described next.

The embodiment of the application provides various ways of presenting more candidates in the candidate presenting home page (i.e. providing various second presenting strategies), for example, the word size of the candidate in the candidate presenting page can be reduced, the range of the presenting area of the candidate presenting page can be expanded, only one common part of the candidate can be presented in the candidate presenting page, and the like. The following will be described in detail with respect to several implementations thereof:

the first mode is as follows: and displaying the candidate items by using the target word size in the candidate item display home page.

For convenience of description, the word size of the candidate item displayed on the candidate item display top page under the second display policy may be referred to as a target word size, and the target word size may be smaller than the word size of the candidate item displayed on the candidate item display top page under the first display policy.

Next, an example will be described with reference to fig. 3. It is assumed that the character string input by the user is a pinyin string "shengrikuaile", and the second presentation strategy is to present the candidate items with the target font size as the number five in the candidate item presentation top page. As shown in fig. 3(a), the candidates shown in the first showing strategy top page include "happy birthday" and "happy birthday", and the word sizes of the two candidates are four. When a preset condition is met, the presentation policy is switched from the first presentation policy to a second presentation policy, as shown in fig. 3(b), the candidate items presented on the candidate item presentation top page under the second presentation policy may include "happy birthday", "happy birthday o", and "fast birthday hah", and the word numbers of the three candidate items are target word numbers, that is, number five. As can be seen, the number of candidate items corresponding to the character string "shengrikuaile" displayed on the first page of the candidate item display under the second display policy is more than that of the candidate items displayed under the first display policy.

In addition, after the user turns the page of the candidate item display home page, the candidate items can be displayed with the target word size or with the default word size in the candidate item display page after the page is turned, wherein the default word size can be understood as the word size of the candidate items displayed in the candidate item display page under the first display policy. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, no limitation is made on the word size of the candidate displayed on the candidate display page after page turning.

The second mode is as follows: and taking the target display area as a display area of the candidate item display home page to display the candidate items.

For convenience of description, the presentation area of the candidate presentation top page under the second presentation policy may be referred to as a target presentation area. Moreover, the range of the target presentation area may be larger than the range of the presentation area of the candidate presentation top page under the first presentation policy, for example, the presentation area of the candidate presentation top page under the first presentation policy is a line of candidate presentation areas, and the target presentation area may be a plurality of lines of candidate presentation areas.

Next, an example will be described with reference to fig. 4. It is assumed that the character string input by the user is a pinyin string "bushi", and the second presentation strategy is to present the candidate items by taking a target presentation area as a presentation area of the candidate item presentation top page, wherein the target presentation area is two lines of candidate item presentation areas. As shown in fig. 4(a), the presentation area of the candidate presentation top page under the first presentation strategy is a line of candidate presentation areas, wherein the candidates presented on the candidate presentation top page include "not", "uncomfortable", "not trying", "from time to time" and "unknown". When a preset condition is met, switching the presentation strategy from the first presentation strategy to a second presentation strategy, as shown in fig. 4(b), the target presentation area of the candidate presentation top page under the second presentation strategy is two rows of candidate presentation areas, wherein the candidates presented by the candidate presentation top page may include "not", "not comfortable", "not trying", "sometimes", "not knowing", "not losing", "not wetting", "not making", "distributing", and "not real". As can be seen, the number of candidate items corresponding to the character string "bushi" displayed on the first page of the candidate item display under the second display policy is more than that of the candidate items displayed under the first display policy.

In addition, after the user turns the page of the candidate item display home page, in the turned candidate item display page, the target display area may be used as the display area of the turned candidate item display page to display the candidate item, or the display area of the candidate item display page under the first display policy may be used as the display area of the turned candidate item display page to display the candidate item. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, no limitation is made on the display area of the candidate display page after page turning.

The third mode is as follows: and determining a common part of the N candidates shown on the candidate showing top page according to the first showing strategy, and showing one common part and non-common parts of the M candidates with the common part in the candidate showing top page.

Wherein M is greater than or equal to N. It should be noted that, for convenience of description, a character string other than the common part in the candidates having the common part may be referred to as a non-common part. For example, the common part of the candidate "not eat" and the candidate "not pubic" is the character "not", the non-common part of the candidate "not eat" is the character "eat", and the non-common part of the candidate "not pubic" is the character "pubic".

As an example, in the candidate item presentation top page under the second presentation strategy, a non-common part of each of a plurality of candidate items having a common part may be provided with a specific symbol, wherein for any one of the plurality of candidate items, the specific symbol provided by the non-common part of one candidate item may be used to identify a positional relationship between the common part and the non-common part in the candidate item. It should be noted that, in a possible implementation manner, the position relationship between the specific symbol and the non-common part of the candidate may embody the position relationship between the common part of the candidate and the non-common part of the candidate. For example, when the common part is a prefix of a candidate, i.e. the common part of the candidate precedes the non-common part of the candidate, then in the top page of the presentation of the candidate under the second presentation strategy, the candidate may be represented by presenting a specific symbol before the non-common part of the candidate; for another example, when the common part is a suffix of a candidate, i.e. the common part of the candidate is behind the non-common part of the candidate, then in the first page of presentation of candidates under the second presentation strategy, the candidate may be represented by presenting a specific symbol behind the non-common part of the candidate; for another example, when the common part is the middle part of a candidate, i.e. the common part of the candidate is among the non-common parts of the candidate, then in the top page of the presentation of candidates under the second presentation strategy, the candidate may be represented by presenting a specific symbol among the non-common parts of the candidate. Wherein, in one possible implementation, the number of characters of the specific symbol may be smaller than the number of characters of the common portion.

Next, an example will be described with reference to fig. 5. Assuming that the character string input by the user is a pinyin string "nisshash", and the second presentation strategy is for the pinyin string "nisshash", determining a common part of N candidates presented on the candidate presentation top page according to the first presentation strategy, and presenting one common part and respective non-common parts of M candidates having the common part in the candidate presentation top page, wherein the respective non-common parts of the M candidates are each set with a specific symbol "". As shown in fig. 5(a), the candidates displayed on the first display strategy top page include "what time" and "what time back". When a preset condition is satisfied, the exhibition policy may be switched from the first exhibition policy to a second exhibition policy, specifically, as shown in fig. 5(b), under the second exhibition policy, a common part "what time" may be included in the candidate exhibition first page, and a plurality of candidates (i.e., "come back", "cometo and" comehome ") composed of a specific symbol" it "and a non-common part of each candidate, respectively. As can be seen, the number of candidate items corresponding to the character string "nissharh" displayed on the top page of the candidate item display under the second display policy is more than that of the candidate item display under the first display policy. It should be noted that, after the user selects any one candidate item consisting of the specific symbol "and the non-public part for screen-up, the form shown by the candidate item after screen-up in the terminal may be formed by the public part corresponding to the specific symbol" and the non-public part corresponding to the candidate item; suppose that the user selects a candidate "wonder" on-screen, then this candidate "wonder" can be shown as "what you are when" after on-screen in the terminal.

It should be noted that the above three second display strategies may be executed independently, or may be executed in combination with any of the above manners.

It is emphasized that in one implementation, if the preset condition includes that N candidates among the candidates shown in the candidate showing top page have a common part, the second showing strategy includes showing one common part and non-common parts of each of the M candidates having the common part in the candidate showing top page.

In addition, after the user turns the page of the candidate item presentation home page, if N candidate items presented on the turned candidate item presentation page have a common part, one common part and non-common parts of M candidate items having the common part may be presented on the turned candidate item presentation page, where M is greater than or equal to N. For a specific implementation manner, reference may be made to the third manner for displaying more candidates in the candidate displaying home page, which is not described herein again.
