In describing an example of the present invention, since the drawings and descriptions of well-known technical contents that are not directly related to the present invention are omitted, the present invention is clearly transmitted without obscuring the gist of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a network system to which an autocomplete search system and method using an object type of a database and a recording medium recording a program source are applied according to an example of the present invention will be described. A terminal (100) comprising a computer (PC) by inputting an event signal for selecting any one of the object information classified as the information and searching and confirming the corresponding information; A public communication network (110) for connecting to the computer and providing a communication path with a designated portal site or server system including the Internet; Connect to the terminal 100 through the public communication network 110, enter a search word to search for objects and types of objects, sort them into selected types, add markers to present them automatically, and present index information of the selected objects in the list of objects. The server system 120 includes a portal site as a search and provides.

The public communication network 110 is composed of any one selected from a communication network including a wired communication network, a wireless communication network, a data communication network, and the Internet.

The public communication network 110 is connected to the terminal 100 and the server system 120 by wire, wireless, data communication, the Internet, and the like, and a TCP / IP scheme is used between the terminal 100 and the server system 120. Communicate in any one of a plurality of communication methods included.

The server system 120 classifies the object and the object type information searched by any one method selected among forward matching or backward matching by a query word (object) input from the terminal 100 into an autocomplete function based on the selected type information. To provide services to display.

The forward matching search method is a method of searching first to include a query in front of a plurality of searched objects, and to include in a next order, and to search for later objects in a query to be.

The backward matching search method, in a manner opposite to the forward matching search method, proceeds from a method of searching for the first included in the back of the next order among the plurality of objects to be searched and the next included in the next order, Objects that contain the query in front are searched later.

The server system 120 is a computer, which communicates with a public communication network and performs computer computing. In addition, it includes elements for performing various functions, for example, a processor (processor), a memory (memory), input and output means and the like.

Referring to FIG. 3, an automatic completion search system using an object type of a database, according to an example of the present invention, includes an object search including a query input unit 212, an object search unit 214, and an object detection unit 216. Server 210; An entity database 220 for constructing record and update management of entity information and entity type information retrieved from the index database; Autocomplete including object type selector 231, object sorter 232, object type marker 233, autocomplete presenter 234, object selector 235, and search service linker 236. Server 230; The index database 240 records and updates various index information in a database.

The query input unit 212 constitutes a public communication network 110. The query input unit 212 receives one or more query information (object) information from a terminal 100 connected through a communication network including a wired / wireless communication network, a data communication network, and the Internet. USER INTERFACE), and in the following description, only one query word (object) is input.

The query word is input in one letter unit or one unit selected from word units.

The entity search unit 214 retrieves entity information and entity type information by the query word provided by the query input unit 212 from the entity database 220. The search method includes a forward matching method. Search in any of the methods selected from the backward matching method.

The entity detector 216 detects or extracts entity information and entity type information from the information retrieved by the entity search unit 214.

If the object detecting unit 216 fails to detect the object and the object type information in a forward or backward matching method, the object detecting unit 216 outputs a result that there is no search result of the object and the object type information.

The object search unit 214 is ajax or ajax (hereinafter referred to as 'Ajax') whenever the letters constituting the query (object) (Ajax: Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) application (APPLICATION) Search).

The Ajax application method is a method of processing data in a client after receiving and providing only necessary data to a web server.

Generally, a web page is created and provided by a searched or requested content on a web server, and a new web page is created and provided when a new content is requested.

In this case, the contents of the original web page and the contents of the new web page are often similar. In other words, the same HTML code is transmitted once again in a state where the HTML code is duplicated, which wastes a lot of bandwidth, and the waste of bandwidth causes time and financial loss, and makes it difficult to service a real-time conversation with a user.

This Ajax method processes some data processed by the web server in the client or the connected terminal, thus reducing the amount of data exchanged between the web server and the client, reducing bandwidth, and reducing overall data throughput on the web server. This enhancement allows for interactive data exchange.

The Ajax method has a disadvantage that there is a browser that can not be applied, the function of the Http client is limited, there is a security problem, and debugging is not easy by writing a script. Delegation of data processing to client or terminal reduces server load, data processing time is short, asynchronous data communication is possible, bandwidth is reduced by small data volume, communication time is reduced, etc. By the advantage of the method is used a lot.

The entity type selection unit 231 provides the entity information and the entity type information detected by the entity detection unit 216 through a user interface (UI), and the entity type information provided through the UI is provided through the public communication network 110. It is delivered to the terminal 100, and inputs the object type information selected by the UI from the terminal.

The object arranging unit 232 sorts the searched and detected object and object type information by the object type selected and input through the object type selecting unit 231 into the UI, and the sorting method is performed in the order of the alphabetical order. At the same time, the order of the most frequent queries is sorted according to the query frequency order. It also aligns entity and entity type information so that the same type of information is presented in proximity.

The individual type marker 233 adds a marker designated for each sorted type. The marker uses any one selected from among an icon, a cartoon, a character, a picture, a color, a symbol, a picture, and the like.

The autocomplete presentation unit 234 automatically completes the information of the object type selected by the object type selection unit 231 as a list and provides the terminal 100 with a user interface (UI) method to select a specific object. Input selected object information by UI method.

The search service interlocking unit 236 retrieves index information of the object selected by the object selecting unit 235 from the index database 240 and provides the terminal 100 to the terminal 100 in a UI manner.

The entity search server 210 connects to the public communication network 110 by the query input unit 212, receives query word (object) information from the terminal 100, and receives the input query. Retrieves the corresponding object and object type information from the object database 220 in a forward or backward matching manner, and the object detector 216 determines whether the object information found in the query word is present and, if found, the object information and the object type information. Will output

The query input unit 212 receives query (object) information from the terminal 100 through a search window provided in a user interface (UI) method. The input query may include one or more entity information stored in the entity database 220 that is already constructed, and may not include any of the entity information.

As described above, the following description is provided for facilitating the explanation and understanding. For example, a case in which only one query is input will be described.

The input query information (object) information is sent to the object search unit 214 AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and each time a letter is input, or a word (in Korean) or a word (in English) is input. Called based on XML).

The entity search unit 214 searches the entity database 220 with respect to the input query word (object) and checks whether entity information including the query word exists and type information of the entity. The entity database 220 already stores entity type information corresponding to various entity information.

The search unit 214 searches the Ajax application method whenever a query word (object) character is input, and searches in the selected manner from the phoneme or syllable of the query word.

The phoneme is a consonant or vowel or alphabet constituting a letter, and the syllable is a minimum unit that can express meaning.

In the case of searching by the phoneme unit, since the searched object information is different each time the phoneme of the input query word is added, it is easy, quick and easy to check the search direction, but it can give a lot of load to the system. In the case of searching by syllable unit, since the search is completed while the input of the query is completed, it takes time to complete the search, but there is an advantage that the load of the system is small. Therefore, it is necessary to select the optimal method according to the processing speed and load of the system.

In addition, the entity information searched by the entity search unit 214 is selected from any one of the forward matching method and the backward matching method.

For example, in the case of inputting “DaePyung” as a search word, the entity information searched in the forward matching method is the same as the search term “DaePyung Middle School”, and the front part matches the search word, and the entity information searched in the backward matching method is It is the way the latter part matches, as if "deep flat" is searched.

The entity detector 216 provides the autocomplete server 230 with a result value including the entity information and entity type information retrieved through the entity search unit 214.

Instead of the expression "provide", it is also used as the expression "return."

For example, if the input query is "Web" and "Semantic Web", "Social Web", "Web Services" and the like are stored in the object database 220, a success message indicating that object information including the query is present. And retrieve the individual information and provide it as a result (return).

When the entity information is searched, the type information of the entity is also searched and provided. Since the entity information corresponds to a main word, a type of “subject” is provided (returned).

For example, in the case of Korean, if the input query is “Daepyeong” and “Daepyeong Middle School”, “Daepyeongri”, “Shimdaepyeong” and the like are stored in the entity database 220, there is entity information including the query. The object information is searched and provided as a result value along with the success message, and the corresponding object type information is also searched and provided (returned).

Among the retrieved entity information, the type information of the entity "DaePyung Middle School" is "institution or school", the type information of the entity "DaePyeongri" is "location", and the type information of the entity "Zero Pyeong" is provided as "People" (Return)

Among the searched individual information, the first two are generated as a result of searching in a forward matching method, and the second one is generated as a result of searching in a backward matching method.

When the query word corresponds to two or more entities or types, both types are provided (returned) as result values, and the operation ends when all search result values are obtained for the query word.

The auto-completion server 230 allows a user type selection unit 231 to select any one of a plurality of types of information of the object to the terminal 100 connected through the public communication network 110. ).

The object arranging unit 232 sorts the objects provided (returned) through the object detecting unit 216 by type based on the selected type information input to the object type selecting unit 231, and sorts them according to a Kana order. At the same time, they are sorted in order of frequency with the frequency of query.

In addition, the object aligning unit 232 arranges the object and the type so that the same type is displayed in close proximity, and the object type marker 233 is an example of a unique marker for each object type, icons, cartoons, characters, pictures Add or add color, symbols, photos, etc.

The entity completion presentation unit 234 provides entity information, entity type information, and added markers in the search box as an autocomplete list, and the entity type information provided includes an entity type selected by the entity type selection unit 231. Provide only object information.

The entity selector 235 provides a user interface (UI) to select a specific query from an autocomplete list including the entity information selected by the terminal 100, and the search service interworking unit 236 provides the selected query. The index information is retrieved from the index database 240 by a search button or a keyboard operation event signal inputted from the terminal 100, and the searched index information is provided to the terminal 100.

FIG. 5 is a state capture diagram according to an example of the present invention, which automatically provides searched entity type information and index information by inputting a query word in a portal site.

Referring to FIG. 5, a site providing an e-mail service and a multimedia information search and provision service through the Internet is called a portal site. For example, Naver (Naver, www.naver.com ) is included. do.

When a query is input for a search in the NAVER portal site, a state in which a list of searched objects and an index list of selected objects are sorted and provided by an autocomplete function is captured and illustrated.

In FIG. 5, a query word of “Dapyeong” such as “Dapyeong Middle School,” “Daepyeong High School,” and “Dapyeong Labor Zone” is entered at the bottom of the search window. Various entity information, including the information, is self-aligned and presented in a user interface (UI) in an autocomplete manner.

Since the automatic completion by the self-alignment is not sorted by the object type information selected by the user or the terminal 100, the user or the terminal 100 should look at all the query words presented to use the automatic completion function.

For example, if you want to search for information by person type, but you don't remember the full name, enter only some of the names you know as a query, and in this case, all the searched objects will be mixed in type and the autocomplete list will be displayed. Is displayed.

If the classification of the searched object information for the automatic completion list is not performed, it is difficult to find a desired result quickly and accurately. That is, when the type classification is not performed, the number size of the object to be searched at a time is restricted or the retrieved number is simply used as statistical information.

That is, it is one of the technical gist of the present invention to easily classify the necessary object (query) list by using an autocompletion function of selecting and presenting a desired object type among search terms as the construction capacity of the information data is gradually increased.

FIG. 6 is a capture diagram illustrating a state in which an object searched in a forward match by an input query is classified by type information and sorted in alphabetical order and in frequency of query.

Referring to FIG. 6, the object search server 210 inputs the query word “flat” to the UI and automatically completes the object information and the object type information searched by the forward matching method selected as an example from the object database 220. In 230, the information is presented or displayed as an automatic completion list classified by type, and displayed or displayed in the order of alphabetical order and query frequency.

In FIG. 6, the searched entities are classified into types of institutions such as Daepyeong High School, Daepyeong Middle School, and Daepyeong Elementary School. There is a Daepyeong labor district, and the state classified as river / river type is Daepyeong Reservoir, Daepyeongcheon, and the state classified as person type is Simpyeongpyeong.

The entity selector 235 provides a UI to select a specific entity or type from the list of the autocompletion of the entity and type information retrieved and presented as described above.

The terminal 100 selects one of a list of objects and types presented by using up and down buttons or a mouse of a keyboard, and the information of the selected objects is transmitted to the search service linking unit 236.

The search service interworking unit 236 transfers the selected entity (query) information from the index database to the search service of the index information by means of a search button signal provided from the terminal 100 or an event signal of a keyboard operation (enter key, etc.). to provide. The search service providing the index information calls a search application program interface (API), searches from the index database 240, and provides the searched information to the terminal in a UI manner.

7 is a partially enlarged capture diagram of a state in which a specific type is selected from objects searched by an input query and presented as autocomplete according to an example of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7 in detail, it is a partial enlarged capture diagram of a state in which an organization type is selected from entity and type information inputted, searched, and presented in an automatic completion method. The institution types are identified as Daepyeong High School, Daepyeong Middle School, and Daepyeong Elementary School.

8 is a diagram illustrating a display state capture of an entity type for classifying an entity searched by an input query by one example of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, the object type selection unit 231 displays a selectable object type around a search box and provides the terminal with a user interface (UI) to select one of the displayed object types. The status screen is captured.

The retrieved entity information is classified according to the type selected through the UI, and only the classified entity information is displayed in an automatic completion method.

The method of selecting the object type by the UI may be selected by classifying into a field or a subject, or may be selected by classifying into an object type as shown in FIG. 8.

The entity arranging unit 232 sorts the objects provided (returned) through the object detecting unit 216 according to the selected type information. That is, the object information is sorted by the type information so that the same type information is provided in close proximity, and the sorting method is basically the object type information, but can be sorted in alphabetical order or the length of the object information.

The object type marker 233 adds or attaches a unique marker for each object type information unit included in the object. The marker may be, for example, an icon, cartoon, character, symbol, or color. Select one or more.

For example, a person icon or a specific color may be added or attached to the “person” object type information, and an organ icon or a specific color may be added to the “organ” object type information.

6 shows a state in which markers classified by type information are added.
