The electronic device according to the embodiments may first identify the first search word 400a identified from the search interface from the terminal device of the first user. The first search word 400a may include, for example, a keyword for a store (restaurant, etc.) that the user wants to search, a menu (food name, etc.) that the user wants to search, a keyword for an area that the user wants to search. can

The electronic device according to embodiments may analyze the first search word 400a. For example, when the first search word 400a includes a keyword for a store (restaurant, etc.) that the user wants to search, the electronic device may extract the corresponding keyword. When the first search word 400a includes a keyword for a menu (eg, food name) that the user wants to search, the electronic device may extract the corresponding keyword.

The electronic device may identify the first search word 400a or search keywords extracted from the first search word 400a, and provide a search result for these to the user's terminal device. For example, the electronic device may display the third area 401 displaying a list of search keywords for a store (restaurant, etc.) on the search page 400 according to embodiments. Also, for example, the electronic device may display the third area 402 for displaying a list of search keywords for a menu (eg, food, item, etc.) on the search page 400 according to embodiments. have. Also, the first page 400 according to embodiments may include one or more interfaces 403 for a user to set search location information, search time information, and the like.

The third area 401 according to the embodiments may display top search keywords among a list of search keywords for a store (restaurant, etc.). For example, after checking a list of search keywords for a store (restaurant, etc.) as a search result, the electronic device may select upper search keywords among them and display the selected results in the third area 401 .

Here, the upper search keywords are, for example, search location information received from the user's terminal device (eg, the user's current location, location information set by the interface(s) shown in 403, etc.) and received from the user's terminal device Based on the search time information (eg, the user's current time, the time interval information set by the interface(s) shown in 403, etc.), it may be extracted. The top search keywords are, for example, based on the frequency of the search keywords searched or inquired by a plurality of users in the time interval of the location of the search location information and the search time information, the top specific number of search keywords with a high frequency of searching or inquiring may mean For example, if the user sets '7:00 pm' as the search location information and search time information in the 'Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul' area, and the user searches for 'chicken', the most frequent Search keywords for the searched store may be displayed in the third area 401 .

The electronic device may check the first search word 400a and check that the first search word is a keyword related to the menu.

Here, a method of confirming whether the first search word 400a is a keyword related to a menu may be configured in various ways.

For example, the electronic device may first store information in which a plurality of search keywords and a category of each search keyword are labeled. For example, the electronic device may store menu-related keywords (food, ingredients, etc.) combined with labeling information indicating that the keywords are menu-related keywords. Similarly, the electronic device may store information in which keywords related to the store (eg, a name of a restaurant, a name of a region, etc.) and labeling information indicating that the keywords are keywords related to the store are combined. If the first keyword 400a is included in search keywords pre-stored in the electronic device, the search keyword is searched for and labeling information corresponding to the search keyword (ie, whether the keyword is a keyword related to a menu or a keyword related to a store) or not) can be checked.

Meanwhile, the electronic device may store search terms that are searched in real time by a plurality of users and checked in the electronic device. The electronic device may identify search words searched for by a plurality of users in real time, analyze the search words in real time, and label and store the categories. Here, the category information labeled for the search word checked in real time may be determined based on the store that the corresponding user finally orders, the menu that the user finally orders, pre-stored search keywords, and category information labeled with each keyword. For example, the electronic device may check the positions in the embedding space of pre-stored search keywords and category information labeled for each keyword, and compare the similarity with the embedding vector of the search word checked in real time, and the user finally orders It is possible to determine the category information to be finally labeled by correcting and correcting the similarity by comparing it with the store and the menu that is finally ordered.

On the other hand, when the first keyword 400a searched by the user is a search keyword related to a menu, the above-described third area 401 may be located higher than the fourth area 402 in the user's terminal device. . That is, when a user searches for a search term related to a menu, the user is more likely to find a store that sells the corresponding menu than detailed menu keywords for the corresponding menu. present.

On the other hand, when the first keyword 400a searched by the user includes a plurality of words (tokens) (eg, 'delicious chicken'), each word is tokenized and separated into a plurality of tokens. You can check the category for each token. For example, if the first keyword 400a is 'delicious chicken', the category of 'delicious' (the third category, not the store or menu) and the category of 'chicken' (the category that is a search keyword related to the menu) can be checked. And, since it includes the categories of search keywords related to the menu as a whole, it can be suggested that the keywords are search keywords related to the menu. Accordingly, the electronic device may display the third area 401 above the fourth area 402 .

The electronic device according to the embodiments may present a search result and an upper search result matching the user's intention by recognizing the user's intention from the keyword through this operation, thereby assisting users in making a purchase decision.

Meanwhile, the electronic device according to the embodiments may set the size of each region so that the third region 401 and the fourth region 402 are displayed without scrolling in the client terminal.
