Description

How to provide search service on internet site {A METHODE OF OFFER FOR SEARCH SERVICE BY INTERNET}

The present invention relates to a method of providing a search service on an Internet site. More particularly, the present invention provides a service that can easily search information by classifying various search sites in providing a search result at the request of a client. It is about a method.

The number of host computers connected to the Internet is approximately 10 million worldwide, and the Internet is actively used in almost all countries except for extremely closed countries, such as some parts of Africa and North Korea. In other words, countries that are hard to connect by phone can be connected through the Internet.

Technically, the Internet is a network of computer networks that exchange data according to a communication protocol called TCP / IP (transmission control protocol / internet protocol). This is not a connection of all computers to any central network, but it is possible to connect a large number of computers as it is now by making it easy to connect to any network if the specified protocol is satisfied. Internet-connected networks range from individual users to networks of online service companies with millions of users.

Also, because the Internet is a network of networks, policies are determined by a council of networks, instead of the whole central authority governing the whole. In other words, professional councils composed of experts in each field are active and lead the development of the Internet in their fields. As such, the Internet operates reasonably in a democratic process, so there is more information than any mass media or network, and it can grow rapidly throughout the world.

On the other hand, the world wide web is, in a word, a multimedia information network using the Internet, and means an information system that computers connected to the Internet transmit and receive in multimedia. The world wide web differs from the existing computer information system in that it provides multimedia information and is a hyper text system using hyper link. Here, the hypertext refers to an electronic document that moves to desired information by clicking a button, for example, using a mouse or the like, without having to type a keyboard using a hyperlink. Thus, the world wide web information of the world is like one giant hypertext character, so you can browse any document with just the mouse button wherever it is.

In addition, services using the Internet generally have a client / server structure in which a computer requesting information from another computer provides (deliver) the requested information to the computer requesting the information. At this time, the information providing side is called a server computer, and the information receiving side is called a client computer. The World Wide Web is also a client / server architecture Internet service that uses a communication protocol called Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (http). A collection of information provided by a web server computer is called a web site. If the web server computer is a television station, the web site may correspond to a channel.

The Internet is now developing at a very fast pace, doubling the number of Web sites in a month, and this trend will continue. You can download the necessary software via the Internet, get the latest news, and enjoy the art of the Louvre. In addition, it is possible to order the necessary items, and the situation is seeing a great effect by using the company to promote and introduce the product. As such, the relationship with the Internet is expected to become closer.

On the other hand, a web brouser that receives information on the Internet and provides it to the user according to a user's request (or request) may be regarded as a television receiver as compared to the case of a television broadcast. Therefore, the user will be able to use the World Wide Web immediately if he or she learns a web browser. At this time, the complicated internal work of the World Wide Web is handled by the web browser itself (or automatically), so that the user can navigate to the web site where the desired information is located by operating the web browser, for example, using the remote control. Information can be retrieved or provided.

On the other hand, as described above, when the user searches for the information he / she wants, the access process such as going to a web site where the desired information is located takes substantially a long time.

Therefore, when the information that the user wants to receive is normal information (that is, information that does not change periodically or aperiodically depending on the time zone), the user should go to the web site at that time and receive the desired information. If the information you want to receive is various news or stock quotes whose contents change periodically or aperiodically depending on the time of day, the number of times of use by users can occur frequently, which can cause frequent searches. Repeatedly performing cumbersome operations that require a lot of time each time information is required for information has become one of the major factors that degrade the service quality of Internet users.

The present invention has been proposed in order to improve the inconvenience of the conventional Internet search, a search service that allows the client to receive the optimal search results by providing a search box divided into various categories when a search request from the client The purpose is to achieve a provision environment.

In order to provide an external search result for a specific search term requested through a server to the client, the purpose is to display a search classification list classified into a plurality in a result window in which the result is displayed by the client's search request. Along with this, a search site link unit which displays a plurality of search sites related to the corresponding field of each category list in parallel and is displayed in parallel is displayed. Through the method of providing a search service on the Internet site, characterized in that the information on the search results in the is made.

<Explanation of symbols for the main parts of the drawings>

1: Client 10: Web Server

20: operating system 30: Internet Protocol Division

40: database (DB) 50: DB management unit

100: classification list 200: search site link

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A schematic network configuration for providing a search result of the present invention is as shown in FIG.

That is, the web server 10 connected to the client 1 through the Internet to transmit / receive data, and the contents of the request of each client connected to the web server 10 are in a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. The operating system 20 and the Internet protocol unit 30 which operate each device to transmit data according to HTTP), and the data that can be provided to the client, including personal information provided when the client requests to register, the database ( DB; 40, and the DB management unit 50 for managing the input and output to the DB (40).

The DB 40 is capable of storing various information data, including a member DB in which personal information of a web site member is stored, a search DB in which a search result classification item is displayed, and other sites. The information DB in which the provided information is stored is included.

In the network configuration as described above, a website (provisional name: homepage.com) to provide a service of the present invention provides a search service to a client accessing the web server 10 through a network. The provision flow is as shown in FIG. 2.

That is, as shown in the flowchart, when the home server is connected to the home server.com web server 10, the initial main screen is transmitted and displayed on the client's web browser, where the client inputs a natural language to search for in the search box. This will be done.
