FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating an example of components that a processor of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention can include; FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a method that an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention can perform; Fig.

A recommendation query providing system implemented by a computer can be configured in the electronic device 1 (110) according to the present embodiment. The recommendation query providing system is implemented in an application form installed on the electronic device 1 (110) and is provided with a search result received from the server 150 on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) in a network environment through interworking with the server And a recommendation query for each search result.

For example, based on a command provided by an application installed in the electronic device 1 (110), a recommendation query providing system implemented in the electronic device 1 (110) can perform a recommendation query providing method. 4, the processor 212 of the electronic device 1 110 includes components such as a transmission / reception control unit 310, a search result storage control unit 320, And a search result display control unit 330. The components of processor 212 may optionally be included or excluded from processor 212 in accordance with an embodiment. In addition, in accordance with an embodiment, the components of the processor 212 may be separate or merged for the representation of the functionality of the processor 212.

The components of the processor 212 and the processor 212 may control the electronic device 1 110 to perform the steps S410 to S460 included in the recommended query providing method of FIG. For example, the components of processor 212 and processor 212 may be implemented to execute instructions in accordance with the code of the operating system and the code of at least one program that memory 211 contains.

Here, the components of the processor 212 are connected to the processor 212 in accordance with an instruction (for example, an instruction provided by an application driven by the electronic device 1 110) provided by the program code stored in the electronic device 110 Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > 212 < / RTI > For example, the transmission / reception control unit 310, as a functional expression of the processor 212 that controls the electronic device 1 110 according to the above-described command so that the electronic device 1 110 transmits / receives data related to the search to the server 150, Can be used.

In step S410, the processor 212 may read the necessary commands from the loaded memory 211 with instructions related to control of the electronic device 110. [ In this case, the read command may include instructions for controlling the processor 212 to execute steps (S420 to S460) to be described later.

In step S420, the transmission / reception control unit 310 transmits the search query input from the user to the server 150 through the chat session established between the user of the electronic device 1 110 and the server 150 for keyword search, 1 < / RTI > The electronic device 1 (110) may transmit a search request including a search query to the server (150) for keyword search through the network (170) when a search query is input from the user. For example, the electronic device 1 110 can receive a search query from a user through voice recognition or a text input method, and the transmission / reception control unit 310 can transmit a search query input from a user to the server 150 . At this time, the search query input from the user is an instance message of an interactive search interface (hereinafter referred to as 'search chat room') corresponding to a chat session between the user of the electronic device 1 110 and the server 150 And then displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) through the corresponding search room.

In step S430, the transmission / reception control unit 310 receives the search result and the recommendation query corresponding to the search query from the server 150 through the chat session between the user of the electronic device 1 110 and the server 150, (110). In other words, the electronic device 1 (110) can receive from the server 150 the search results and recommendation queries generated in the server 150 based on the search query input from the user. At this time, the server 150 may generate a search result and a recommendation query for the search query received from the electronic device 1 (110), and may transmit the search result and the recommendation query to the electronic device 1 (110) through the network (170). The server 150 may generate at least one search result corresponding to the search query of the user and may generate a recommendation query as at least one related search term related to the search result for each search result. For example, the search result and the recommendation query for each search result may be generated based on the search history included in the search chat room corresponding to the chat session between the user of the electronic device 1 (110) and the server 150. In other words, the server 150 can grasp the ambiguity of the currently inputted query based on the search history of the user, that is, the query history requested by the user in recent search and the search result provided to the user for each query, The search result corresponding to the query and the recommendation query for each search result can be generated. The recommendation query may include an associated search term related to a search result, as well as an associated search term related to a search query input from a user according to an embodiment.

In step S440, the search result storage control unit 320 transmits a search result and a recommendation query received from the server 150 through the chat session between the user of the electronic device 110 and the server 150, To control the electronic device 1 (110) to store it as an instance message of a search room. All the data transmitted and received through the chat session between the user of the electronic device 1 110 and the server 150, that is, the search query, the search result, and the recommendation query are transmitted as the instance message of the search chat room corresponding to the chat session, (E. G., Memory 211, etc.) on a memory card (not shown). The search query and the search result may be stored as individual conversation messages, including time information, and may be stored in chronological order, and the search result may be stored in association with the search query so as to identify the result of the search query. The recommendation query is generated for each search result, which is an individual information unit corresponding to the search query, and can be stored in a form included in the search result.

In step S450, the search result display control unit 330 transmits a search result and a recommendation query received from the server 150 through the chat session between the user of the electronic device 1 110 and the server 150, It is possible to control the electronic device 1 (110) to display on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) through the search room. The electronic device 1 (110) can display the search query and the search result corresponding to the search query in the form of a chat message to be exchanged with the user through the search chat room. At this time, the electronic device 1 (110) can provide a recommendation query of the search result for each search result, using the search result as an individual information unit as a unit. In other words, the electronic device 1 (110) may display a recommendation query related to the search result with respect to the search result displayed on the screen of the electronic device 110 (110).

In step S460, the search result display control unit 330 identifies the search result currently displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) corresponding to the screen control gesture input from the user of the electronic device 1 (110) It is possible to control the electronic device 1 (110) to display a recommendation query of the electronic device 1 (110). For example, the electronic device 110 recognizes a flicking gesture as a screen control gesture as a screen control gesture for a vertical direction or a horizontal direction as a screen control gesture for a vertical direction, According to the control gesture, the information displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) can be moved up and down or left and right. The electronic device 1 (110) finds a search result to be exposed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) according to the screen control gesture of the user, exposes the search result on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) The recommendation query of the search result may be displayed together with the search results exposed on the screen of the display unit 110. [ Since the recommendation query is generated for each search result and the recommendation query is stored in association with the search result, if the search result actually displayed on the screen of the electronic device 110 is identified, the recommendation query of the identified search result is read And can be exposed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). In other words, the search result displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) changes depending on the screen movement or the screen switching corresponding to the screen control gesture of the user. At this time, The recommended query displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) changes. As an example of a method of identifying a specific search result displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110), a coordinate value on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) on which a search result is displayed is compared with a predetermined reference position, It is possible to identify the search results displayed adjacent to each other and to expose the recommendation query of the identified search results on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110).

5 to 9 show an example of a search chat room which is an interactive search interface displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110).

Referring to FIG. 5, the search room 500 includes a search query 510 input by the user as voice or text, a search result 520 generated by the server 150 for the search query 510, . ≪ / RTI >

When the search result 520 is displayed in the search chat room 500, the recommendation query 530 generated by the server 150 for the search result 520 is transmitted to a part of the search chat room 500, for example, Can be displayed together at the lower end of the window 500 or at a position adjacent to the query input window.

When one search result 520 is generated in the server 150 with respect to 'query A', as shown in FIG. 5, one card as a display object for exposing the search result 520 in the search room 500 And expose the search result 520 on the card.

6, when a plurality of search results 620 are generated in the server 150 for 'query A', the number of the cards corresponding to the number of the search results 620 in the search chat room 500 Can be configured in the form of a carousel to expose the search results 620, respectively. For example, in response to a flicking gesture of a user, a search result 620 may be selectively displayed one by one while a card configured in a carousel shape moves in the search chatting room 500.

When there are a plurality of search results 520 for 'query A', a recommendation query 630 is generated for each search result 620, so that it is related to the search result 620 actually displayed on the screen of the electronic device 110 A recommendation query 630 may be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 7, two search results are generated for the query A, that is, the search result I and the search result II, and the query 1, the query 2, the query 3, the search result It is assumed that query 11, query 12, and query 13 are generated as recommendation queries for Ⅱ.

When the search result I 721 of the query A is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 110, the recommended query 731 generated for the search result I 721, that is, query 1, query 2 The query 3 is exposed (S701), and the search result II 722 is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 110. The recommended query 732 generated for the search result II 722, that is, query 11, 12, and 13 are exposed (S702). If a plurality of search results are provided for 'query A', the search results can be selectively exposed one by one through card flicking. In addition, The query corresponding to the result can be recommended. In other words, the recommendation query 731 for the search result I 721 and the recommendation query 732 for the search result II 722 are different from each other, .

When a new search query is input, the previous search query and the search result are moved in one direction, for example, the upward direction, and a newly inputted search query and a new search result corresponding thereto are inserted into the search room 500, As shown in FIG. At this time, the recommendation query for the previous search result that is out of the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) disappears and the recommendation query for the new search result currently displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110)

Query 1, query 2 and query 3 are generated as recommendation queries for the query result of 'query A', and query 21, query 22, and query 3 are generated as recommended queries for the query result of 'query B' Assume that query 23 is generated.

Query 1, query 2, query 3 may be displayed as the recommended query 831 related to the search result 821 when the search result 821 for the query A is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) (S801). Thereafter, when a new search query 'query B' is input and a search result 822 for 'query B' and 'query B' is displayed on the screen of electronic device 1 110, It can be displayed and changed to query 21, query 22 and query 23, which are related recommendation queries 832 (S802).

In particular, the electronic device 1 (110) can display the previous search result and recommendation query while moving in the search chat room 500 displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) in response to the scroll gesture of the user.

9, when the search result 922 for 'query B' is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 110, the recommendation query 932 generated for the search result 922 of 'query B' That is, the query 21, the query 22, and the query 23 are exposed (S901). As the user moves through the search room 500 through the upward scrolling, the search result 921 The recommendation query can be changed to the recommendation query 931 generated for the search result 921 of 'query A', that is, Query 1, Query 2, and Query 3 (S902).

The recommended query 931 of the previous search result 921 is updated and exposed based on the time when the latest search result 922 is exposed on the screen of the electronic device 1 110 and the previous search result 921 is displayed again . For example, if the search result 921 is exposed again after a certain period of time has elapsed from the initial point of exposure, a request for a recommendation for the search result 921 is requested again, and a new search result The recommendation query 931 can be exposed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). For example, at the initial point of time when the search result 921 is exposed, the recommendation query 931 may be exposed as query 1, query 2, query 3, and the search result 921 is exposed again after a predetermined time has elapsed The recommended query 931 readjusted to query 1, query 2 ', and query 3 may be exposed.

Therefore, it is possible to expose the recommendation query of the search result based on the search result actually exposed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) according to the upward and downward scroll gestures on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). Unlike the conventional method in which the recommendation query is provided only for the most recently inputted search query, the embodiments of the present invention generate a plurality of search results for one query by providing a recommendation query for each search result in units of search results It is possible to provide another recommendation query for each search result. Further, if the user confirms the previous search result again, it is possible to provide a recommendation query related to the search result based on the search result actually exposed on the screen.

Hereinafter, an example of a method of storing a recommendation query and a method of determining a recommendation query to be displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) will be described in detail. The method for storing the recommendation query may be performed by the search result storage controller 320 that is a component of the processor 212 of the electronic device 110 and the method for determining the recommendation query may be performed by the search result display controller 330. [ Lt; / RTI >

First, the search result storage control unit 320 may store a recommendation query generated for each search result generated for each individual information unit corresponding to the search query.

For example, if the recommendation query is 'Do you want to show a movie?', 'Cast Member', or 'View Rate', the recommendation query may consist of the field values of the search result as shown in Table 1.

The value of the rcQuery field in Response cQuery: [
{text: "Do you want to show the video?", word: "video", meta: "rtype = rec"},
{text: "cast", word: "cast", meta: "rtype = rec"},
{text: "viewership", word: "viewership", meta: "rtype = rec"}
]

The search result storage control unit 320 may store the recommendation query in a part of the data representing the search result. For example, the search result storage control unit 320 may store the search result as a speech balloon element (HTMLElement) indicating an instance message. At this time, a recommended query rcQuery value is specified and stored in a predetermined factor of the data () method corresponding to the search result .

Basically, the recommended query is stored in the speech bubble corresponding to the body field of the data representing the search result, but in the case where the body field value is absent, it can be stored in the speech bubble corresponding to the header field.

The method of reading the recommendation query to expose the recommendation query by the search result display control unit 330 is possible by returning the recommended query rcQuery value stored in the speech bubble.

Then, the search result display control unit 330 determines a recommendation query to be displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) at the time of screen scrolling or flicking. For example, The rcQuery value stored in the speech balloon may be determined as a recommendation query to be displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) after finding a speech ball that touches a predetermined reference line.

For example, the reference line used as a reference for determining a recommended query to be displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) may be a position obtained by subtracting a predetermined value from a vertical height (window.innerHeight) of the screen of the electronic device 110 have. Here, the predetermined value may be determined in consideration of the padding-bottom value and the buffer value of the speech balloon container.

The search result display control unit 330 identifies the speech bubble that is actually displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110), that is, the speech bubble that touches the reference line of the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) and reads the rcQuery value stored in the speech bubble And can be exposed as a recommended query on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). For example, if the top value of the object corresponding to the speech balloon element is smaller than the reference line and the bottom value is equal to or greater than the reference line, the search result display control unit 330 can determine that the speech balloon is touching the reference line. If there is no speech ball that touches the baseline, it can be judged that the last speech ball element is touching the baseline.

When the speech ball which touches the reference line of the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) is scrolled every time it scrolls, the performance is deteriorated when the number of speech bubbles is large. Therefore, a process of finding the speech bubble that touches the reference line after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) .
