Abstract
A method for automatically searching information pertaining to a target object using an electronic device includes detecting a user operation applied to a document which is displayed, obtaining information regarding the detected user operation, and determining whether the information regarding the detected user operation matches information regarding a predetermined user operation. Upon determining a match, the target object which corresponds to the user operation is obtained, and a preset search tool is activated and controlled, without further input from a user, to search and retrieve information pertaining to the target object.
Claims20
An electronic device for automatically searching information pertaining to a target object, the electronic device comprising:
- a display screen;
- at least one processor coupled to the display screen;
- and
- a storage device storing one or more programs, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- detect a user operation applied to a document which is displayed on the display screen, and obtain information regarding the detected user operation;
- determine whether the information regarding the detected user operation matches information regarding a predetermined user operation stored in the storage device;
- and
- upon determining that the information regarding the detected user operation matches the information regarding the predetermined user operation, obtain the target object which corresponds to the user operation, and activate and control, without further input from a user, a preset search tool to search and retrieve information pertaining to the target object.
A computer-implemented method for automatically searching information pertaining to a target object using an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting a user operation applied to a document which is displayed on a display screen of the electronic device, and obtain information regarding the detected user operation;
- determining whether the information regarding the detected user operation matches information regarding a predetermined user operation stored in a storage device of the electronic device;
- and
- upon determining that the information regarding the detected user operation matches the information regarding the predetermined user operation, obtaining the target object which corresponds to the user operation, and activating and controlling, without further input from a user, a preset search tool to search and retrieve information pertaining to the target object.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, causing the electronic device to perform a method for automatically searching information pertaining to a target object, the method comprising:
- detecting a user operation applied to a document which is displayed on a display screen of the electronic device, and obtain information regarding the detected user operation;
- determining whether the information regarding the detected user operation matches information regarding a predetermined user operation stored in a storage device of the electronic device;
- and
- upon determining that the information regarding the detected user operation matches the information regarding the predetermined user operation, obtaining the target object which corresponds to the user operation, and activating and controlling, without further input from a user, a preset search tool to search and retrieve information pertaining to the target object.
