Abstract

A computer-implemented method for searching information and an electronic device are disclosed. The method includes: receiving, at one or more computing devices, a search term; acquiring, at the one or more computing devices, a 3D search result corresponding to the search term if the search term includes a 3D search requirement, in which the 3D search result includes a 3D picture and one or more service items corresponding to the 3D picture; displaying, at the one or more computing devices, the 3D search result; determining, at the one or more computing devices, a service item selected by a user; and processing, at the one or more computing devices, the 3D picture according to the service item. The method can provide a service on the basis of the 3D search result when the user has the 3D search requirement, thereby better satisfying the user' requirement and improving the user experience.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method for searching information, comprising:
receiving, by one or more computing devices, a search term input into an internet search engine, wherein the internet search engine acquires internet webpage search results corresponding to the search term and recommendations based on the internet webpage search results;
determining, by the one or more computing devices, that the search term comprises a 3D search requirement according to a specific term comprised in the search term or by performing a semantic analysis on the search term;
acquiring, by the one or more computing devices, a 3D search result corresponding to the search term in response to the determination that the search term comprises the 3D search requirement, wherein the 3D search result comprises a 3D picture and one or more service items corresponding to the 3D picture;
displaying, by the one or more computing devices, the 3D search result, internet webpage search results, and recommendations based on webpage search results;
determining, by the one or more computing devices, a service item selected by a user; and
processing, by the one or more computing devices, the 3D picture according to the service item;
wherein processing the 3D picture includes selecting, by the one or more computing devices, a merchant from merchants providing the service item so as to process the 3D picture in the merchant, and includes one or more of the following: transmitting a print request of the 3D picture for printing and transmitting the 3D picture to a merchant for printing;
wherein selecting, by the one or more computing devices, a merchant from merchants providing the service item comprises:
acquiring, by the one or more computing devices, distances between the merchants providing the service item and the user, and acquiring information of the merchants providing the service item;
displaying to a user one or more of the following: the merchant with a shortest distance and information of the merchants providing the service item;

wherein when the search term does not comprise a 3D search requirement, the method comprises: displaying, by the one or more computing devices, the internet webpage search results and the recommendations based on the internet webpage search results, and not displaying 3D search results
in response to processing the 3D picture, printing, by the one or more computing devices, a 3D model of the 3D picture.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more service items comprises at least one of printing and purchasing.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein if the service item is printing, processing, by the one or more computing devices, the 3D picture according to the service item comprises:
judging, by the one or more computing devices, whether a local computer is connected to a 3D printer; and
printing, by the one or more computing devices, a model corresponding to the 3D picture using the 3D printer if the local computer is connected to the 3D printer.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising connecting, by the one or more computing devices, a suitable printing manufacturer for the user by default to provide a printing and posting service if the local computer is disconnected from the 3D printer.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying, at the one or more computing devices, a customized information interface after the user selects the service item so as to process the 3D picture according to customized information input by the user to the customized information interface.

6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein if the service item is purchasing, the method further comprises: displaying, by the one or more computing devices, an ordering interface to the user.

7. An electronic device, comprising:
one or more processors;
a memory; and
one or more programs, stored in the memory and configured to perform following operations if the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors:
receiving a search term input into an internet search engine, wherein the internet search engine acquires internet webpage search results corresponding to the search term and recommendations based on the internet webpage search results;
determining, by the one or more computing devices, that the search term comprises a 3D search requirement according to a specific term comprised in the search term or by performing a semantic analysis on the search term;
acquiring a 3D search result corresponding to the search term in response to the determination that the search term comprises the 3D search requirement, wherein the 3D search result comprises a 3D picture and one or more service items corresponding to the 3D picture;
displaying the 3D search result, internet webpage search results, and recommendations based on webpage search results;
determining a service item selected by a user; and processing the 3D picture according to the service item;
wherein processing the 3D picture includes selecting, by the one or more computing devices, a merchant from merchants providing the service item so as to process the 3D picture in the merchant, and includes one or more of the following: transmitting a print request of the 3D picture for printing and transmitting the 3D picture to a merchant for printing;

wherein selecting, by the one or more computing devices, a merchant from merchants providing the service item comprises:
acquiring, by the one or more computing devices, distances between the merchants providing the service item and the user, and acquiring information of the merchants providing the service item;
displaying to a user one or more of the following: the merchant with a shortest distance and information of the merchants providing the service item;
when the search term does not comprise a 3D search requirement, the method comprises: displaying, at the one or more computing devices, the internet webpage search results and the recommendations based on the internet webpage search results, and not displaying 3D search results

in response to processing the 3D picture, printing, by the one or more computing devices, a 3D model of the 3D picture.

8. A non-transitory computer storage medium, having one or more modules stored therein and configured to perform following operations if the one or more modules are executed:
receiving a search term input into an internet search engine, wherein the internet search engine acquires internet webpage search results corresponding to the search term and recommendations based on the internet webpage search results;
determining, by the one or more computing devices, that the search term comprises a 3D search requirement according to a specific term comprised in the search term or by performing a semantic analysis on the search term;
acquiring a 3D search result corresponding to the search term in response to the determination that the search term comprises the 3D search requirement, wherein the 3D search result comprises a 3D picture and one or more service items corresponding to the 3D picture;
displaying the 3D search result, internet webpage search results, and recommendations based on webpage search results;
determining a service item selected by a user; and
processing the 3D picture according to the service item;
wherein processing the 3D picture includes selecting, by the one or more computing devices, a merchant from merchants providing the service item so as to process the 3D picture in the merchant, and includes one or more of the following: transmitting a print request of the 3D picture for printing and transmitting the 3D picture to a merchant for printing;
wherein the one or more programs are further configur
