Description
Related application
The application requires in the right of priority of 35 U.S.C § 119 (e) of the associating provisional application sequence number 60/657,371 co-pending of " search engine that merges user's input " by name of submission on February 28th, 2005, and it is incorporated in here as a reference.
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of search engine.More specifically, the present invention relates to for the system and method by merging user's input information searching for Internet.
Background technology
Internet search engine is designed to the information of location expectation from comprise bulk information on the internet.The user describes by the inquiry that input comprises search terms the information that they are seeking.These search engines are by using various relevant calculation that the index of search terms and webpage is mated, and purpose is in order to identify the maximally related webpage of information of those and user search.Search engine then returns to webpage with graduate list of hyperlinks, makes maximally related link more near the top of list.
In order to use search engine, each user is necessary for him and oneself finds out and how to construct and input inquiry, and this inquiry will make search engine return to the results list of the link in the source of covering, the information that described source will probably provide the user seeking.Traditionally, search is completed by search expert, and search expert is the practician of the meticulous and accurate boolean queries of technique aspect.This is the technology of still generally using such as in places such as news organization, library and United States Patent Office (USPO).But on the internet, most users is unfamiliar with such technology, and usually inputs several words, and does not have special logical expression, with the information of wishing that search engine will provide them seeking.
Current most of search engine with their user interaction design as target, in order to provide relevant Search Results not require accurate inquiry by factoring in other evidence of relevant correlativity.For example, but the hyperlink between the search engine analyzing web page, or search comprise semantically with inquiry in item document similarly, perhaps show on document sets in inquiry every senior to existing (co-occurrence).
The result that search engine returns also can be handled.Website owner can with the website of adding them to from interior perhaps metadata or the hyperlink of other website, make their webpage be listed near the top of the results list, even this webpage does not comprise the information of inquiring about height correlation with the user.The behavior is commonly called search engine optimization (" SEO ").
Because search technique has restriction and because search engine can not be foretold the user's who searches for intention, so user's result of returning of dissatisfied search engine or this result is felt disappointed usually.If the user has constructed the inquiry that generates satisfactory result by chance, do not exist him can do with other hope the mechanism of shared this inquiry of user of same or similar search.Equally, do not have for the user mechanism that checks from other people input when they attempt to construct the inquiry that will make search engine return to expected result.Search engine does not allow the user to learn or utilize from another person the successful search of being undertaken by another person there.
The purpose of search engine is not only the lists of links that document is provided, and is finally in order to provide access to relevant information in response to user's inquiry to the user.Traditional search engines mainly provides the graduate web page hyperlink list of webpage, and described webpage is defined as being correlated with by computerized algorithm.The answer that the user searches the problem in related topics zone just must follow these hyperlinks and in these websites around search for the information that they are searching.Search engine does not return to the direct answer of the information relevant with theme or problem except the link of website.For example, when the user inputs the inquiry of " Calgary Alberta ", except " City ofCalgary " web page interlinkage and traditional the results list, results page do not comprise such as: Location:Lat:51 ' 1 "; Long:114 ' 1 " and Population:922,315 information.
In addition, search engine can not eliminate between the different concepts of being described by the same queries item at need between.For example, inquiry " star wars " can refer to film " Star Wars " and refer to that strategic defensive initiatively.Attempted to develop the algorithm such as cluster or semantic analysis, determined during with convenient user input query which concept he is searching for, but present limited success.The user knows that usually they inquire about relevant concept.If these users can input this and help for information about search engine and distinguish this concept and other Conceptions, can be favourable.This information is understood this concept with other user of help and is helped to search for the process of the information of relevant this concept.

The user can add the description of the additional concepts relevant to search terms, even inputted other concept.For example, for query term " star wars ", the description of the concept of film " Star Wars " can be added, and comprises the information such as the story of a play or opera, performer and producer.Subsequently, the user can clickthrough 130, and this allows them to add the description relevant with same queries item " starwars ", has described different concepts, for example " strategic defensive initiatively or SDI ".
In interchangeable embodiment, add according to the present invention, revise or the concept of deletion be each other subclass (for example, sub-topics), same existing in document or with the appearance of statistical dependence mode.For example, concept " operating system " and " Linux " are theme and relevant sub-topics.And, in interchangeable embodiment, according to kind and the statistical computation (for example, concept has multifrequency together in document numerous) of preassigned, user's input, determine that concept is relevant.
The user can add to be linked to from hyperlink or " seeing also " of different query term related notions and quotes 140.As an example, " seeing also " of the concept of user add Star Wars film partly, the hyperlink of the concept of George Lucas, the author/producer of query term " GeorgeLucas ".The user can revise, adds or delete " seeing also " and quote.
The user can be that concept adds the inquiry of suggestion, and described concept makes inquiry be submitted to search engine when clicked, and this search engine returns to the results page 100 that comprises with side information 120,140 and 150 related the results lists 160.
Search engine can also generate the query term of advising with computerized algorithm.For example, the item of such computerized algorithm search document to determine in identical document (with existing), often to occur in preset distance each other or in predetermined density (pre-determined number at least namely occurring).Therefore algorithm determines that these are relevant, and search engine provides query term as suggestion.Replacedly, computerized algorithm keeps the list of query term, such as synonym or the word modification of also advising to the user.
The user can add or preserve and is considered to and the linking of the document of concept height correlation.This can input link or complete by the icon 190 of clicking hyperlink or being labeled as " preservations " by craft, or is pointed out by other item such as " bookmark ", " label " or " adding collection to ".Because different user will have relevant different ideas the most relevant from website, therefore algorithm according to the present invention is determined the order of listed website.In one embodiment, algorithm uses " inside " to process, and makes maximum " ballot " (for example by maximum user " preservation the ") documents of reception place highlyer in the results list.
If in the results list that being generated by search engine also appears in the link of institute's " preservation " document, it is also one that has been voted for by the user that this icon 165 can be used for illustrating this link.And, below each Search Results is " By " entry 167, and it shows the user's who adds link title, and a part that makes it can be used as the results list is returned, and " Tags " entry 168, it has listed user and the item that links all marks or generated by prior searches.
According to the present invention, the link of website can with by listing in two ways together with the linking of the user of iconic marker input as mentioned above, as two independent lists: the link of (1) the results list (algorithm) and user's input or, or (2) merge in a list.
Two or more people can revise any information described here.As an example, first user writes out and the second user revises the work of first user.First user can " reduce " or update the second user's work.Should input what information if two or more people disagree with, they can be by alternate manner communication (for example, forum, Email, immediate information software) in order to manage conflict and should say that to entry what reaches an agreement.
If any two or more users can not solve their the relevant different opinions of should inputting and so on, they can take their difference to " editor " that can solve these different opinions." editor " is responsible for a large amount of motif areas and has the authority of calming down controversial issue, interpolation or deletion information, also finally removing the user of refusal cooperation.
If the user inputs the information that other people often restore, can suppose that this user does not input people and wants the information of putting up.For example, the user may uglify or destroy the information in motif area.A rule can be implemented, and the user who has made entry restore pre-determined number in section between it requires is at a time ended a certain predetermined amount of time.This rule is intended to reduce the amount of destruction.
Except the information of any particular type of suggestion here, the user can input the information of any kind.As an example, for all performers, their webpage the Internet film database (
Www.imdb.com) link be transfused to.Perhaps for the city, the link that the Weather.com page of Current Temperatures and weather condition is shown is transfused to.Perhaps, for a first song, the link of selling other song of song, the lyrics, artist or even performing the website of some or all of songs is transfused to.
Will be understood that, can make a lot of modifications according to the present invention.For example, can directly read from the input of terminal the feedback that the user generates from file rather than user.And, although results page 100 shows the information such as " seeing also " link 140, will be understood that according to the present invention, the results page that comprises the information of user input can illustrate together with the combination in any in a plurality of zones, described zone comprise those zones shown in Figure 1 or except the zone.This information be used for making Search Results more comprehensively, accurate and meaningful.
Fig. 2 is the process flow diagram that the operation of internet hunt application 200 has been described according to an embodiment of the invention.Internet hunt uses 200 for the user provides to the ability of system's input message, and the input based on this user allows other user to receive more significant Search Results thus.This information is perhaps added for user's Useful Information of carrying out identical or similar search for the document graduation (result of for example search engine initially being returned is classified again) of the results list that will generate in response to ad hoc inquiry.This results list therefore can be in response to user feedback by " transformation " with the more significant result of backspace, and return to additional information with the Topic relative of inquiring about.
In step 205, the user is to the search engine submit Query.Then this process proceeds to the step 210 and 220 that can be performed simultaneously.In step 210, calculate search result list, and in step 220, retrieval side information (for example zone in Fig. 1 120,130,140 and 150).Step 210 and 220 all proceeds to 230, and wherein results page (for example 100 in Fig. 1) is sent to the user.Step 230 proceeds to any one in step 240,250,260 and 270.
In step 240, the user is allowed to add or editor's additional information (for example zone in Fig. 1 120,130,140 and 150).Replacedly, in step 250, the user can click the search link (for example zone in Fig. 1 130) of suggestion; Or in step 260, click " seeing also " link (for example zone in Fig. 1 140); In step 270, access websites one of (for example follow in the zone 150 in Fig. 1 link after).Step 240 is circulated back to step 230, and step 250,260 and optional 270 all loops back 280 to step 205.Replacedly, from step 270, the user can proceed to step 290, and wherein inquiry is completed.
