The receiver 110 receives a search word input by the user terminal 200, a search result selected by the user terminal 200, location information of the user terminals 200 and 300, and the like. In addition, the receiver 110 receives a recommended search word selected by the user terminal 300 from among the search terms provided by the search word recommendation system 100 to the user terminal 300.

The searcher 115 generates a search result list including a plurality of search results based on the search word of the user terminal 200 received by the receiver 110 and provides the search result list to the user terminal 200.

The collection unit 120 classifies and stores the selected search result selected by the user terminal 200 in the search result list provided by the searcher 115 for each relevant geographical area.

The determination unit 130 determines the validity of the selected search result of the user terminal 200 stored by the collection unit 120 as a recommended search word based on the location information of the user terminal 200 received by the reception unit 110. . That is, the determination unit 130 determines whether the selection search result of the user terminal 200 exists within a predetermined range, for example, a radius of 500 m from the position of the user terminal 200.

The recommended search term selecting unit 140 selects a plurality of recommended search terms to be provided to the user terminal 200 or the other user terminal 300 according to the determination result of the determining unit 130. The recommendation search term selector 140 selects the search result of the user terminal 200 in a specific region when the search result of the user terminal 200 actually exists within a predetermined range from the location of the user terminal 200, and selects the search term as a recommendation search term in the specific region. In this case, the recommended search term selecting unit 140 may select the search result itself selected by the user terminal 200 as a recommended search word, or select a search word of the selected search result as a recommended search word.

The recommended search term providing unit 150 provides the user terminal 300 with a recommended search term for a corresponding area according to the location information of the user terminal 300 received by the receiving unit 110. In this case, at least some of the plurality of recommended search words selected by the recommended search term selector 140 may be provided to the user terminal 300. The recommended search terms provided to the user terminal 300 may be determined in the order of the highest validity among the plurality of search terms, and the order of the high validity is the order most selected by the user terminal 200 and a search provided to the user terminal 200. The order in which the most appears in the result list, the order closest to the position of the user terminal 300 may be determined according to various criteria.

Now, the keyword recommendation method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

2 is a flowchart of a keyword recommendation method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an example of a screen provided by a keyword recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the user terminal 200 requests a search from the search word recommendation system 100 by inputting a search word (S210). Then, the search word recommendation system 100 provides the user terminal 200 with a search result list including a plurality of search results for the received search word (S220).

The user terminal 200 selects one search result from the plurality of search results included in the search result list (S230), and transmits the selected search result and the location information to the search word recommendation system 100 (S235). Alternatively, the search word recommendation system 100 may receive the location information from a separate location information management server instead of the user terminal 200.

The search term recommendation system 100 collects and stores a selection search result for each region based on the location information of the user terminal 200 (S240). For example, the keyword recommendation system 100 classifies and stores the selected search results of the user terminal 200 into Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Seocho-gu, Seoul, and Songpa-gu, Seoul.

Subsequently, the search word recommendation system 100 determines the validity of the selected search result for each geographical area (S250). For example, when the selection search result exists within a predetermined radius from the position of the user terminal 200, the search word recommendation system 100 may determine that the selection search result is valid.

Thereafter, the search word recommendation system 100 selects the recommended search word based on the validity determined above (S260). That is, when a search result selected by the user terminal 200 in a specific region actually exists within a predetermined range from the location of the user terminal 200, the search term of the selected search result or the selected search result may be selected as a recommended search term in the specific region. Can be.

On the other hand, the user terminal 300 receives its location information from a separate location information management server (S270), and transmits the location information to the search word recommendation system 100 (S280). Alternatively, the search word recommendation system 100 may receive the location information of the user terminal 300 from a separate location information management server instead of the user terminal 300.

The search term recommendation system 100 may provide the user terminal 300 with at least one recommendation term corresponding to a corresponding region according to the location information of the user terminal 300 (S290). Referring to FIG. 3, an example of a screen displayed by the user terminal 300 is illustrated. The screen displayed by the user terminal 300 includes a keyboard unit 310 for inputting a desired character, an input unit 320 for displaying the input character, and a recommended search word display unit 330. In general, a user inputs a search word by touching or pressing a key of the keyboard unit 310 of the user terminal 300, and the input search word is displayed on the input unit 320. The user may select a search button for the search word described in the input unit 320 to view the search result. However, since the search word recommendation system 100 according to the present invention directly displays the selected search word selected through the above-described process on the recommended search word display unit 330, when a desired search word is found among the recommended search words 330, the user inputs a search word. You can select a search term immediately to see a list of related search results.

Referring back to FIG. 2, the user terminal 300 transmits the selected recommendation search term to the search term recommendation system 100 (S292). Then, the search term recommendation system 100 stores the received recommendation term for each region (S293), supplements the recommendation term, and may refer to it when providing a future suggestion term (S294). That is, the recommended search term with the number of times actually selected by the user terminal 300 may be preferentially selected when selecting the recommended search term in the future.

In this way, the recommended search terms may be selected according to the search behavior of the user terminal 200, and the useful search terms may be selected by verifying the validity of the corresponding search terms according to the location of the user terminal 200. As a result, it is possible to increase convenience for the user to use the search service.
