Abstract
A method for recommending a candidate path includes, in response to receiving a query from a user, looking up a plurality of paths that conform to the query; with respect to a current path among the plurality of paths, obtaining behavior data of the user and behavior data of at least one other user associated with the current path; determining a recommendation indicator associated with the current path, based on the behavior data of the user and the behavior data of the at least one other user; and recommending the candidate path to the user based on at least a recommendation indicator associated with at least one of the plurality of paths.

An apparatus for recommending a candidate path, comprising:
- a lookup module configured to, in response to receiving a query from a user, look up a plurality of paths that conform to the query;
- an obtaining module configured to, with respect to a current path among the plurality of paths, obtain behavior data of the user and behavior data of at least one other user associated with the current path;
- a determining module configured to determine a recommendation indicator associated with the current path, based on the behavior data of the user and the behavior data of the at least one other user;
- and
- a recommending module configured to recommend the candidate path to the user based on at least a recommendation indicator associated with at least one of the plurality of paths.
