Abstract

Provided is a method of generating updating parameters. The method obtains search keywords used by users within a predetermined time period; counts the search keywords to obtain primary keywords, related keywords, co-search frequencies of each primary keyword and the respective related keywords being searched together, and search frequencies of the primary keywords being searched alone; computes first feature values based on the search frequencies of the primary keywords being searched alone; and then computes second feature values based on the first feature values and the co-search frequencies of the primary keywords and the respective related keywords. The second feature values serve as updating parameters for determining displaying modes of the related keywords. An apparatus of generating updating parameters, and a method and an apparatus of displaying related keywords according to the updating parameters are also provided. The solution keeps abreast with the user trends to allow a better user experience and improve computing performance and efficiency. For a service provider, no special secret algorithm is needed, and the operation is easy with a low development cost.
