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

1 . A computer-implemented method for searching information, comprising:
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 comprises a 3D search requirement, wherein the 3D search result comprises 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.

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 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.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein processing, at the one or more computing devices, the 3D picture according to the service item comprises:
selecting, at the one or more computing devices, a merchant from merchants providing the service item so as to process the 3D picture in the merchant.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein selecting, at the one or more computing devices, a merchant from merchants providing the service item comprises:
acquiring, at the one or more computing devices, distances between the merchants providing the service item and the user, and selecting, at the one or more computing devices, the merchant with a shortest distance; or acquiring, at the one or more computing devices, information of the merchants providing the service item, displaying, at the one or more computing devices, the information to the user and determining, at the one or more computing devices, the merchant selected by the user according to the information displayed.

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

7 . The method according to claim 6 , further comprising connecting, at 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.

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

9 .- 15 . (canceled)

16 . 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; acquiring a 3D search result corresponding to the search term if the search term comprises a 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; determining a service item selected by a user; and processing the 3D picture according to the service item.

17 . 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; acquiring a 3D search result corresponding to the search term if the search term comprises a 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; determining a service item selected by a user; and processing the 3D picture according to the service item.

18 . The electronic device according to claim 16 , wherein the one or more programs are further configured to perform following operations if the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors:
displaying 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.

19 . The electronic device according to claim 16 , wherein processing the 3D picture according to the service item comprises:
selecting a merchant from merchants providing the service item so as to process the 3D picture in the merchant.

20 . The electronic device according to claim 19 , wherein selecting a merchant from merchants providing the service item comprises:
acquiring distances between the merchants providing the service item and the user, and selecting the merchant with a shortest distance; or acquiring information of the merchants providing the service item, displaying the information to the user and determining the merchant selected by the user according to the information displayed.

21 . The electronic device according to claim 18 , wherein if the service item is printing, processing the 3D picture according to the service item comprises:
judging whether a local computer is connected to a 3D printer; printing a model corresponding to the 3D picture using the 3D printer if the local computer is connected to the 3D printer; and connecting 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.

22 . The electronic device according to claim 18 , wherein if the service item is purchasing, the method further comprises:
displaying an ordering interface to the user.

23 . The non-transitory computer storage medium according to claim 17 , wherein the one or more modules are further configured to perform following operations if the one or more modules are executed:
displaying 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.

24 . The non-transitory computer storage medium according to claim 17 , wherein processing the 3D picture according to the service item comprises:
selecting a merchant from merchants providing the service item so as to process the 3D picture in the merchant.

25 . The non-transitory computer storage medium according to claim 24 , wherein selecting a merchant from merchants providing the service item comprises:
acquiring distances between the merchants providing the service item and the user, and selecting the merchant with a shortest distance; or acquiring information of the merchants providing the service item, displaying the information to the user and determining the merchant selected by the user according to the information displayed.
