Method and apparatus for providing recommended information

A recommending apparatus for providing recommended information, wherein the apparatus comprises:

• a processor;
• a storage medium;
• a device configured to decide whether each webpage of a plurality of webpages satisfies a predetermined condition;
• a device configured to, responsive to the each webpage satisfying the predetermined condition, obtain content information included in the each webpage;
• a device configured to, responsive to the obtaining the content information, determine, based on position information of the content information in the each webpage, whether the one or more pieces of obtained content information is used as recommended information, respectively;
• a device configured to obtain feature information of the recommended information if the content information is used as the recommended information, the feature information of the recommended information comprising at least one of media type information, user statistical information or weight information;
• a device configured to determine ranking information of each piece of recommended information based on the feature information of each piece of recommended information;
• and
• a device configured to determine whether a user's browsing operation on a first part of a webpage corresponds to candidate content information and if so the device further configured to:
• obtain query information corresponding to the candidate content information:
• obtain a plurality of pieces of recommended information corresponding to the browsing operation on the first part of the webpage by performing a network search based on the query information to obtain search results corresponding to the candidate content information;
• determine based on the obtained search results the recommended information corresponding to the candidate content information, the user's browsing operation being a location of a cursor on the webpage;
• and
• present the at least one piece of recommended information corresponding to the candidate content information by unfolding on a presenting device a floating window at the browsing operation during a process of the user's browsing the webpage such that the user can immediately look up any of the recommended information corresponding to the candidate content information as the user browses the webpage, where the recommended information corresponding to the candidate content information are presented in the floating window based on the determined ranking information of each piece of the recommended information presented in the floating window, and where the recommended information presented in the floating window are obtained from different webpages;
• a device configured to determine whether a user's further browsing operation on a second part of the webpage or on the floating window corresponds to further candidate content information and if so the device further configured to:
• obtain further query information corresponding to the further candidate content information;
• obtain a plurality of pieces of further recommended information corresponding to the further browsing operation on the second part of the webpage or on the floating window by performing a further network search based on the further query information to obtain further search results corresponding to the further candidate content information;
• determine based on the obtained further search results the recommended information corresponding to the further candidate content information, the user's further browsing operation being a location of a cursor on the webpage or the floating window;
• and
• present the further recommended information corresponding to the further candidate content information by unfolding on the presenting device a further floating window at the further browsing operation during the process of the user's browsing the webpage or the floating window such that the user can immediately look up any of the further recommended information corresponding to the further candidate content information as the user browses the webpage or the floating window, where the further recommended information corresponding to the further candidate content information are presented in the further floating window based on the determined ranking information of each of the further recommended information presented in the further floating window, wherein the recommending apparatus further comprises:
• a device configured to pre-process the candidate content information so as to obtain supplementary query information, including:
• in response to the candidate content information including media information, obtain the supplementary query information corresponding to the media information by performing multimedia processing operations including at least one of object recognition or audio extraction;
• and
• in response to the candidate information including text information, obtaining supplementary query information corresponding to the text information by at least one of segmenting or extending the text information;
• and
• a device configured to perform a network search based on the supplementary query information to obtain supplementary recommended information corresponding to the candidate content information.
