3 to 13 are flowcharts schematically illustrating an example of a data providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a data providing method using the data providing apparatus 100 as described above with reference to FIGS. 3 to 13 will be described.

Referring to FIG. 3, the data providing apparatus 100 may perform a step S100 of receiving a first information signal including information that a tag identifier is input to the user terminal 200. For example, referring to FIG. 14A, the data providing apparatus 100 may provide a tag input GUI (graphic user interface) 160 for inputting a tag to the user terminal 200. In this case, when the tag identifier is the 'shop sign (#)', the data providing apparatus 100 receives the first information signal including information that the user has input the shop 162 on the user terminal 200 can do.

At this time, the user may not be actively lowering the command to transmit the first information signal to the data providing device 100 after inputting the shop on the user terminal 200. That is, the user may input only the shop on the user terminal 200 and not input any other command. In this case, the data providing apparatus 100 may also receive the first information signal from the user terminal 200 .

Meanwhile, the data providing apparatus 100 may perform the step of selecting at least one first recommendation tags based on the first one of the plurality of tags stored in the database 130 (step S200). The contents of the first criterion will be described with reference to FIG. 4 through FIG.

At this time, the data providing apparatus 100 may perform step S200 irrespective of whether or not the step S100 is selected, regardless of the order shown in FIG. That is, the data providing apparatus 100 may select the first recommendation tags after the first information signal is received, but the data providing apparatus 100 selects the first recommendation tags before the first information signal is received It is possible. Alternatively, the data providing apparatus 100 may select the first recommendation tags at predetermined intervals independently of whether the first information signal is received or not.

Thereafter, the data providing apparatus 100 may perform the step S300 of providing the first recommendation tags to the user terminal 200 as the first information signal is received. For example, referring to FIG. 14A, the data providing apparatus 100 may provide a first recommendation tag GUI 164 representing first recommendation tags selected based on a first criterion. The data providing apparatus may provide the first recommendation tag GUI 164 together with the tag input GUI 160. [

Thereafter, the data providing apparatus 100 may perform a step of receiving a second information signal including information indicating that a character is input following the tag identifier in the user terminal 200 (step S400). For example, referring to FIG. 14B, the data providing apparatus 100 transmits a second information signal including information indicating that a user has input a character 'CREE' following the shop as a tag identifier on the user terminal 200 .

Meanwhile, the 'character' according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a word such as 'scissors', 'apple', a word not having a meaning such as 'a', 'abcd' And so on. Furthermore, 'character' may include numbers, symbols, special characters, or geometric figures.

At this time, the user may not be actively lowering the command to transmit the second information signal to the data providing device 100 after inputting the character 'CREE' on the user terminal 200. That is, the user may input only the character 'CREE' on the user terminal 200 and not input any other command. In this case, the data providing apparatus 100 may transmit the second information signal to the user terminal 200 As shown in Fig.

Thereafter, the data providing apparatus 100 may perform the step of selecting at least one second recommendation tags based on the user's input character and the second criterion among the plurality of tags stored in the database (operation S500) .

At this time, the method in which the data providing device 100 considers the characters input from the user is to select the tags having the moment when the corresponding character is displayed among the plurality of tags stored in the database 130 as the second recommendation tags . For example, referring to FIG. 14B, in the process of inputting a tag among a plurality of tags stored in the database 130, the data providing device 100 transmits tags, Tags can be selected. That is, the tags 'cream pasta', 'creative', 'christmas', and 'cream cheese' may be tags that can be displayed with the word 'CREE' in the process of inputting the tags. The data providing apparatus 100 can select at least one second recommendation tags based on the second criterion among the tags for which the character " Crie " can be displayed in the course of the input. The contents of the second criterion will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11. FIG.

Thereafter, the data providing apparatus 100 may perform the step S600 of providing the second recommendation tags to the user terminal 200 as the second information signal is received. For example, referring to FIG. 14B, when a user inputs a character 'CREE' on the user terminal 200, the data providing device 100 refers to the phrase 'CREE' and refers to the second criterion And provide a second recommendation tag GUI 168 representing the selected second recommendation tags. The data providing apparatus may provide the second recommendation tag GUI 168 together with the tag input GUI 160. [

Accordingly, the data providing apparatus 100 can provide a recommendation tag to the user in consideration of at least one of whether or not to input the tag identifier of the user and whether to input the character after inputting the tag identifier.

Alternatively, according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the first criterion may be the number of times input from at least a part of all users using the data providing service for a predetermined period. Alternatively, the first criterion may be the number of times input from the user of the user terminal 200 for a preset period of time. In this case, at step S200 of the data providing method, at least one first recommendation tags are selected in descending order of the number of inputs from all users or users of the user terminal 200 among the plurality of tags stored in the database 130 (Step S210). That is, the data providing apparatus 100 can select a tag frequently input by users of the data providing service as the first recommendation tag. In this case, the predetermined period may be various fixed or variable periods such as a day, a week, a time set by the user of the user terminal 200, and a time set by the administrator of the data providing apparatus 100.

As a concrete example, the predetermined period is one week, and the data providing device 100 can select the four tags with the highest frequency of input from all users for a week as the first recommendation tags. In this case, the tag 'Jeju Island' was entered by all users 5,000 times during the past week, and the tags 'Udo', 'Travel to Jeju Island', and 'Seongsan Ilchulbong' were tagged 4,500 times, 4,200 times, and 4,000 times , And all other tags are input less than 4,000 times. In this case, the data providing apparatus 100 can select the first recommendation tags as 'Jeju Island', 'Udo Island', 'Jeju Island Travel', and 'Seongsan Ilchulbong' ≪ / RTI > tags). At this time, the data providing device 100 may display the number of times the tag is input at a position corresponding to each tag.

In another concrete example, the predetermined period is 3 days, and the data providing device 100 selects the four tags having the highest number of times input from the user of the user terminal 200 for the past three days as the first recommendation tags . At this time, the tag 'Jeju Island' was inputted 20 times by the user of the user terminal 200 for the last 3 days, and the tags 'Udo', 'Travel to Jeju Island' and 'Seongsan Ilchulbong' Times, 10 times, and all other tags are input less than 10 times. In this case, the data providing apparatus 100 can select the first recommendation tags as 'Jeju Island', 'Udo Island', 'Jeju Island Travel', and 'Seongsan Ilchulbong' ≪ / RTI > tags). At this time, the data providing device 100 may display the number of times the tag is input at a position corresponding to each tag.

Accordingly, the data providing apparatus 100 can provide the first recommendation tag to the user in consideration of the experience of the whole user or the user who wants to input the current tag.

Alternatively, according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the step S200 of the data providing method may be performed in the order of the highest number of times input from all users or users of the user terminal 200 among the plurality of tags stored in the database 130 And determining a recommendation order of the first recommendation tags (step S220). In addition, the step S300 of the data providing method may include providing the first recommendation tags to the user terminal 200 in the order of the recommendation order (S310). In other words, the data providing apparatus 100 may determine and provide a recommendation rank of the first recommendation tags, in addition to selecting the first recommendation tags in consideration of the first criterion.

As a concrete example, it can be considered that the first recommendation tags are selected by the data providing apparatus 100 as 'Jeju Island', 'Udo Island', 'Jeju Island Travel', and 'Seongsan Ilchulbong' Udo ',' Travel to Jeju Island ', and' Seongsan Ilchulbong 'are input 20, 15, 12, and 10 times respectively. In this case, the data providing apparatus 100 determines the recommendation rank of the first recommendation tags by setting the order of 'Jeju Island' as 1, 'Udo Island' as 2, 'Jeju Island Travel' as 3, and 'Seongsan Ilchulbong' as 4 . Thereafter, the data providing apparatus 100 can determine the display order of the first recommendation tags on the first recommendation tag GUI (164 in FIG. 14A) in a recommendation order. Alternatively, when the data providing apparatus 100 can display only two tags on the first recommendation tag GUI (164 in FIG. 14A), only the 'Jeju Island' and 'likelihood' may be displayed in the recommended order. At this time, the data providing device 100 may display the number of times the tag is input at a position corresponding to each tag.

Accordingly, the data providing apparatus 100 can preferentially provide the user with a tag that is determined to have a relatively high recommendation level among all the selected first recommendation tags.

Alternatively, according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the first criterion may be the time at which each tag was most recently input from the user of the user terminal 200. In this case, the step S200 of the data providing method may include selecting at least one first recommendation tags from the tags input from the user of the user terminal 200 in the order close to the current time or the preset reference time ). That is, the data providing apparatus 100 can select a tag recently input by the user as the first recommendation tag. At this time, the data providing apparatus 100 may select a recently inputted tag from the moment the tag identifier is input, or may select a tag inputted in the past from a specific reference time determined by the algorithm of the data providing apparatus 100 It can also be selected.

As a specific example, the data providing apparatus 100 may select the four tags recently input by the user as the first recommendation tags. At this time, the user entered the tag 'Jeju Island' 1 minute ago, and the tags 'Udo', 'Travel to Jeju Island', and 'Seongsan Ilchulbong' were input 10 minutes before, 1 hour before, and 1 day before, All other tags can be thought of as if they were entered more than a day ago. In this case, the data providing apparatus 100 can select the first recommendation tags as 'Jeju Island', 'Udo Island', 'Jeju Island Travel', and 'Seongsan Ilchulbong' ≪ / RTI > tags). At this time, the data providing apparatus 100 may display the time when the user inputs the corresponding tag at a position corresponding to each tag.

Accordingly, the data providing apparatus 100 can provide the first recommendation tag to the user in consideration of the tags recently input by the user.

Alternatively, according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the step S200 of the data providing method may include a step of, in the order of the current time or the preset reference time, among the tags input from the user of the user terminal 200, (Step S240). In addition, the step S300 of the data providing method may include providing the first recommendation tags to the user terminal 200 in order of the recommendation order (S320). In other words, the data providing apparatus 100 may determine and provide a recommendation rank of the first recommendation tags, in addition to selecting the first recommendation tags in consideration of the first criterion.

As a concrete example, it can be considered that the first recommendation tags are selected by the data providing apparatus 100 as 'Jeju Island', 'Udo Island', 'Jeju Island Travel', and 'Seongsan Ilchulbong' Udo ',' Jeju Island Travel ', and' Seongsan Ilchulbong 'are input from the user 1 minute before, 10 minutes before, 1 hour before, and 1 day before, respectively. In this case, the data providing apparatus 100 determines the recommendation rank of the first recommendation tags by setting the order of 'Jeju Island' as 1, 'Udo Island' as 2, 'Jeju Island Travel' as 3, and 'Seongsan Ilchulbong' as 4 . Thereafter, the data providing apparatus 100 can determine the display order of the first recommendation tags on the first recommendation tag GUI (164 in FIG. 14A) in a recommendation order. Alternatively, when the data providing apparatus 100 can display only two tags on the first recommendation tag GUI (164 in FIG. 14A), only the 'Jeju Island' and 'likelihood' may be displayed in the recommended order. At this time, the data providing apparatus 100 may display the time when the user inputs the corresponding tag at a position corresponding to each tag.

Accordingly, the data providing apparatus 100 can preferentially provide the user with a tag that is determined to have a relatively high recommendation level among all the selected first recommendation tags.

Alternatively, according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the second criterion may be the number of times input from at least a part of all users using the data providing service for a predetermined period. Alternatively, the second criterion may be the number of times input from the user of the user terminal 200 for a predetermined period of time. In this case, in step S500 of the data providing method, at least one of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, And selecting the recommendation tags (step S510). In this case, the predetermined period may be various fixed or variable periods such as a day, a week, a time set by the user of the user terminal 200, and a time set by the administrator of the data providing apparatus 100.

As a specific example, it is assumed that the preset period is one week, and '# Creation' is input to the user terminal 200. [ In this case, among the tags displaying the word 'CREE' in the input process during the last week, the 'cream pasta' tag was inputted by all users 400 times in total, and 'CREATIVE', ' You can think of 'Cream cheese' as 350, 300, and 250, respectively, and all other tags as less than 250. In this case, the data providing apparatus 100 can select the second recommendation tags as 'cream pasta', 'creative', 'Christmas', and 'cream cheese' ≪ / RTI > tags). At this time, the data providing device 100 may display the number of times the tag is input at a position corresponding to each tag.

As another concrete example, it is conceivable that a predetermined period is 3 days, and a '#Cry' is input to the user terminal 200. [ During the last 3 days, a tag 'cream pasta' is inputted ten times by the user of the user terminal 200 among the tags displaying 'CREE' in the process of inputting, and 'CREATIVE', ' , 'Christmas', and 'Cream cheese' were entered 7, 5, and 3 times, respectively, and all other tags were entered less than 3 times. In this case, the data providing apparatus 100 can select the second recommendation tags as 'cream pasta', 'creative', 'Christmas', and 'cream cheese' ≪ / RTI > tags). At this time, the data providing device 100 may display the number of times the tag is input at a position corresponding to each tag.
