Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress reference to an unnecessary page and rereference to a page which use other-person's evaluation while maintaining a wide retrieval area by generating a necessary page list and an unnecessary page list for a retrieving person and evaluating a retrieved page according to the lists as evaluation conditions by using a page relation dictionary. SOLUTION: A list generating means 110 generates a list of pages that the retrieving person requires and a list of unnecessary pages and a retrieving means 120 performs retrieval from a key word retrieval data base 300 and changes the display state of a list of pages obtained by key word retrieval according to the decision result of a relativity decision means 220. A key word retrieval interface 121 of the retrieving means 120 performs an input/output process for key word retrieval as to the data base 300, a relativity decision interface 122 sends the page list as key word retrieval results to the relativity decision means 220 and receives the decision result of relativity, and a retrieval result display part 123 changes the display state of the page list of key word retrieval according to the decision result.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the technical field of keyword search, and more particularly, to collecting a large amount of unnecessary information and re-referencing already referred information when collecting a large amount of related information from a database or the Internet. The present invention relates to an information search support method that can be minimized and a recording medium that records the program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a keyword search, a list of documents including a keyword is obtained by expressing a search purpose by a keyword. In general, it is difficult to find a keyword that can obtain a target page at a time, and thus a searcher repeatedly performs a search by inputting various keywords.
In the process of such a search, the searcher is presented with a list including many unnecessary pages or repeatedly presented with a list including the same page.

Conventionally, as a method for solving such a problem, there has been proposed a method for improving search efficiency by using past reference histories and evaluation histories. These methods employ a method of recommending an appropriate keyword candidate or recommending information evaluated by a similar searcher to the searcher.

[0004]

In the narrowing down by keywords, there is rarely a search formula that can obtain a page list including only the target page without omission. Therefore, even if an appropriate search formula is recommended, the presented page list includes unnecessary pages, and in the process of selecting a required page from the presented page list, the searcher does not need You have to refer to the page many times.

In the method of obtaining a list of pages evaluated by others, the probability that unnecessary pages are presented is reduced, but there is a problem that information that has not been evaluated or new information cannot be obtained. is there. In addition, it becomes impossible to refer to a page that is unnecessary due to erroneous determination or a different viewpoint. Therefore, pages are collected in a space narrower than the search space by the keyword search.

When the purpose of information collection is to collect all relevant information such as product search and patent search,
The inability to collect unevaluated or new information is a major problem. In addition, since a large number of unnecessary pages are referred to before a sufficient amount of pages are collected, the problem of referring to unnecessary pages and re-referencing pages is prominent.

In order to support such an information search, it is necessary to provide a large search space and to minimize re-reference of unnecessary pages or pages already viewed.

An object of the present invention is to provide an information search support method and a program for realizing suppression of unnecessary page reference and page re-reference using the evaluation of another person while maintaining a wide search area equivalent to a keyword search. To provide a recording medium on which is recorded.

[0009]

According to the present invention, there is provided a page list creating means for creating a list of pages required by a searcher and a list of unnecessary pages, and a list created by the list creating means as an evaluation condition. Relevance determining means for evaluating the page of the search result of the keyword search, search means having a function of changing the display state of a list of pages obtained by the keyword search according to the determination result of the relevance determining means, and list creation A list integration / accumulation means for collecting and integrating lists created by the means and accumulating the relevance between pages in a page-related dictionary is provided.

As list creation means, a list box for registering a necessary page and a list box for registering an unnecessary page are provided. The searcher creates a list of necessary pages and a list of unnecessary pages (evaluation list) by inputting a rating for the currently referred page or by dragging and dropping a page into the list box.
The evaluation list is transmitted to the relevance determination unit together with the list of pages obtained by the keyword search displayed on the search unit, and the determination result (evaluation result) is returned to the search unit. The search unit changes the view based on the received determination result, such as highlighting the page list of the search result, deleting the page, and displaying the page weakly.

Further, the relevance determining means searches for pages having a high relevance among pages stored in the page-related dictionary, using the evaluation list created by the searcher as an evaluation condition.
A list of pages having the highest relevance is transmitted to the search unit.
The search means displays a list of the received pages with a score of the degree of relevance.

When a new page is registered in the required page list box or the unnecessary page list box or the page is deleted and the list is updated, the required page list, the unnecessary page list, and the search means are retrieved. Is transmitted to the relevance determining means. The page list of the search means is a list of pages obtained by a keyword search or a searcher. The relevance determination unit determines a list of pages displayed on the search unit using the updated required page list and the unnecessary page list as new evaluation conditions. The determination result is transmitted to the search means, and the search means updates the display of the page list according to the determination result.

When a new page list is displayed on the search means, a search is made as to whether a page in the displayed list is already registered in the required page list or the unnecessary page list. If there is a page registered in any of the lists, the list of pages is displayed excluding that page.

Further, the necessary page list and the unnecessary page list created by the searcher are transmitted to the list integrating / accumulating means. The list integration / accumulation means sets an arbitrary set of pages registered in the necessary page list and the unnecessary page list as an evaluation condition, and sets a page other than the evaluation condition (an evaluation target page).
Is recorded in the page-related dictionary as to whether it was evaluated as necessary or unnecessary. If the evaluation target page has already been evaluated under the same evaluation conditions, the number of times the evaluation has been performed is incremented and recorded.

Further, the created set of the required page list and the unnecessary page list is stored in association with the set name setting, the keyword used for the set creation, the storage time, and the latest update time. At the time of reading, any one of the conditions of the set name, the keyword, the storage time, and the latest update time is specified, the set is searched, and candidates are displayed. The required page list and the unnecessary page list are loaded by selecting a target set from these candidates.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the client terminal 100, the server 200, and the keyword search database 300 are assumed to exist separately on the network. However, the server 200 and the keyword search database 300 may be located at the same place. All of the client terminal 100, the server 200, and the keyword search database 300 may be located at the same place. Further, the keyword search database 300 may be the Internet.

The client terminal 100 searches the list creation means 110 for creating a list of pages required by the searcher and a list of unnecessary pages, the keyword search database 300, and the relevance determination means 220 described later. A search unit 120 having a function of changing the display state of the page list obtained by the keyword search according to the determination result is provided. The list creating means 110 is a necessary page list 1111 for registering pages required by the searcher.
The list management unit 111 manages an unnecessary page list 1112 for registering unnecessary pages and an unnecessary page, and the browser unit 112 for a searcher to perform browsing. The search means 120 includes a keyword search interface 121 for performing an input / output process of a keyword search with respect to the database 300, and a relation for transmitting a page list of the keyword search results to the relevance determination means 220 and receiving the determination result of the relevance. A degree determination interface 122 and a search result display unit 123 having a function of changing the display state of the page list for keyword search according to the determination result.

The server 200 has a client terminal 100
And a list integrating / accumulating means 210 for collecting and accumulating a list created by the list creating means 110 of the related art, and evaluating a page of a search result of a keyword search using the list created by the list creating means 110 as an evaluation condition. It has a degree determining means 220. The list integrating / accumulating unit 210 converts the list created by the searcher by the list creating unit into a format to be registered in the page-related dictionary 212 and registers the list. The integrated data creating unit 211 creates the list. A page-related dictionary 21 having a function of storing data and a function of reading out a relevance evaluation of a page in accordance with an evaluation condition transmitted from the relevance determination unit 220
2. The relevance determination unit 220 includes a relevancy determination processing unit 221 that evaluates a search result page of a keyword search using the list created by the list creation unit 110 as an evaluation condition, and a page-related dictionary 212 that is referred to when relevance determination is performed. And a page-related dictionary interface 222 for performing input / output processing with the server. Note that the list integrating / accumulating unit 210 and the association degree determining unit 220 can be configured differently.

Next, the overall processing flow of the system configuration of FIG. 1 will be described using the processing flow of FIG. The searcher of the client terminal 100 performs a keyword search on the database 300 by the keyword search interface unit 123 of the search means 120 (step 1). Then, it is checked whether or not an evaluation list exists (step 2). If there is no evaluation list at the start of the search or the like, the relevance determination is not performed, and the process proceeds to the display processing of the keyword search search result (step 6). . When there is an evaluation list, the search result of the keyword search and the evaluation list are compared with the server 20 by the relevance determination interface 122.
It is transmitted to the relevance determination means 220 of 0 (step 3), and the relativity determination processing starts. Using the transmitted evaluation list as an evaluation condition, the relevance determination processing unit 221 reads out the evaluation for the search result page from the page-related dictionary 212 of the list integrating / accumulating means 210 using the page-related dictionary interface 222, and reads the evaluation. Based on the evaluation, a relevance evaluation for each page of the search result is determined (step 4). The judgment result is transmitted to the search means 120 of the client terminal 100 (Step 5). The search means 120
The display of the search result is updated according to the transmitted determination result (step 6), and the determination result is notified to the searcher.

The searcher refers to the search result page displayed on the search result display section 122 using the browser section 112 of the list creation means 110 (step 7), and evaluates the reference page (step 8). Specifically, necessary pages are registered in a necessary page list 1111 (step 9), and unnecessary pages are registered in an unnecessary page list 1112 (step 10). Since the relevancy evaluation condition changes due to the change in the list, the process returns to step 3 when registering a page, and the relevancy determination is performed again. In addition, when the evaluation is not performed on the reference page, the processing is different depending on whether the evaluation is not performed because the evaluation is indefinite or when the evaluation on the search result is completed. If the evaluation is uncertain, the process returns to step 7 to refer to and evaluate another page (step 11). When browsing of search results is completed, it is determined whether collection of pages is completed (step 1).
2) If sufficient pages have not been collected, the process returns to the keyword search process in step 1 to continue the search.

When enough pages have been collected and the search is completed, the client terminal 100 sends the list created by the list creating means 110 to the list integrating / accumulating means 210 of the server 200 (step 13). . The integrated data creation unit 211 of the list integration / accumulation unit 210 converts the received list into the format of the page-related dictionary 212, registers and updates the page-related dictionary 212 (step 14), and ends the processing. .

FIG. 3 shows a basic processing flow of the information search support method of the present invention. The present invention provides a list creation unit 11
Using a list of necessary pages and unnecessary pages created using 0 as an evaluation condition, the relevance is determined for a search result page list obtained by a keyword search, and the determination result is presented to a searcher. As shown in FIG. 3, the processing includes list creation processing 1100 by the searcher, relevance determination processing 1200 based on the processing, display processing 1300 of the determination result, and a page-related dictionary based on the list created by the searcher. Is created and updated 1400.

In the following, first, list creation processing 1100
Next, a page-related dictionary creation process 1400 used in the relevance determination process 1200 will be described. Then, the flow of the association degree determination processing 1200 and the display processing 1300 of the determination result will be described.

[List Creation Processing] FIG. 4 is a block diagram related to the list creation processing. The searcher can use the search means 12
The target page is searched by keyword search using 0. The searcher registers pages that match the search purpose among the pages referred to during the search in the necessary page list 1111, and registers pages that do not match the search purpose in the unnecessary page list 1112. The list creation unit 111 includes a necessary page list registration button as an interface for registration,
A registration method by clicking an unnecessary page list registration button and a registration method by drag and drop from a browser are provided.

The list creating means 111 creates, for example, the list shown in FIG. 5 by registering pages using these interfaces. The required page list includes the title of the registration page, UR, as shown in FIG.
L and the scroll position (X, Y coordinates) of the page at the time of registration are stored. The scroll position at the time of registration is stored in order to use the necessary page list as a simple bookmark. When the searcher selects a page displayed in the required page list, the selected page is scrolled to the reference position at the time of registration and displayed. Further, the title and URL of the registration page are recorded in the unnecessary page list as shown in FIG. 5B.

[Creation / update processing of page-related dictionary] FIG.
FIG. 9 is a block diagram related to a page-related dictionary creation / update process. The creation / update processing of the page-related dictionary 212 is performed by the list integration / accumulation means 210 based on the page list transmitted from the list creation means 110. The list transmitted from the list creating unit 110 has the format shown in FIG. The list of FIG. 7 records the titles and URLs of the necessary pages and the unnecessary pages, and a flag indicating which list has been registered. Here, for the sake of convenience, the process of creating and updating the page-related dictionary 212 when the list of FIG.

First, an arbitrary set of pages registered in the list is selected as an evaluation condition, and an arbitrary page not included in the evaluation condition is selected as an evaluation target. Similarly, a combination of all evaluation conditions and evaluation targets is created, and a table (integrated data table into the page-related dictionary) shown in FIG. 9 is created. In the table of FIG. 9, among the pages selected as the evaluation conditions, the pages registered in the required page list 111 are registered in the required page condition column, and the pages registered in the unnecessary page list 1112 are registered in the unnecessary page condition column. Registered in the column. In the column of the number of evaluations, +1 is entered in a column corresponding to the list in which the evaluation target page is registered. In this way, an integrated data table for the page-related dictionary is created.

Next, the integrated data table is integrated into the page-related dictionary 212. Here, a description will be given of a process of integrating the integrated data table of FIG. 10B when the page-related dictionary shown in FIG.

First, as shown in the first and second lines of FIG. 10B, in the case of a set of evaluation conditions and evaluation targets already registered in the page-related dictionary 212, a column of the number of evaluations in the integrated data table Is added to the column of the number of times of evaluation of the page-related dictionary 212. When the combination of the evaluation condition and the evaluation target corresponding to the page-related dictionary is not registered as in the third and fourth lines, the line is newly added to the page-related dictionary 212. In the case of the fifth line, the combination of the evaluation condition and the evaluation target is the same as that of the fifth line of the pre-updated page related dictionary. However, in the page related dictionary, it is registered as a necessary page condition, and in the integrated data table, the unnecessary page condition is included. Registered in. In such a case, these two lines are treated as separate lines and registered as new evaluation conditions. As a result, the updated page-related dictionary is as shown in FIG.

Creation and update processing 1200 of page related dictionary
In this way, the list integration / accumulation means 210 causes the page-related dictionary 212 to evaluate the evaluation of a page other than the evaluation conditions, with some or all of the page registration states in the list as evaluation conditions. Accumulate information.

[Relevance Determining Process] The relevance determining process includes a process of evaluating the relevance of a search result page of a keyword search using a list created by the searcher by the list creating unit 110 as an evaluation condition. Two processes of creating a list of pages having a high degree are performed.

FIG. 11 shows a flow of a process for performing a relevancy judgment on a search result of a keyword search. The processing of the relevance evaluation for the search result is performed by the list creation unit 1
10 or the relevance determination request command from the search means 120 is executed as a trigger. At this time, as shown in FIG.
The required page list 1111 and the unnecessary page list 1112 registered in the list management unit 111 of No. 0 are transmitted as evaluation condition lists, and the list of search pages displayed on the search result display unit 122 of the search unit 120 is transmitted as an evaluation target list. You. The relevance determination request command is issued when the evaluation condition list is changed due to new page registration and deletion in the list management unit 111 of the list creation unit 110 and when the evaluation target list is changed by keyword search. Is done.

The degree-of-association determining unit 220 determines the degree of association of the evaluation target list based on the transmitted information. The determination of the degree of association is performed by reading the evaluation from the page-related dictionary 210,
Unrelated pages are removed, and the relevance score processing is performed in this order. These processes will be described with reference to FIG. Here, for simplicity, as shown in FIG. 12A, only a necessary page condition is considered as an evaluation condition, and a case where the required page condition is only one page will be described as an example.

FIG. 12B shows the evaluation conditions and the evaluation target.
It is assumed that the list has been received. First, an arbitrary page in the evaluation condition list is evaluated as an evaluation condition, and an arbitrary page in the evaluation target list is evaluated as an evaluation target. The above processing is performed for all combinations of evaluation conditions and evaluation targets. As a result, the table of FIG. 12C is obtained for the evaluation condition and the list of the evaluation target of FIG.

Next, the partial score (PS (UR
Lm, URLn)). PS (URLm, URLn) = NC (URLm, URLn)
/ (NC (URLm, URLn) + UNC (URLm, U
RLn)) In the above equation, the page of the evaluation condition is URLm, the page of the evaluation target is URLn, and the required number of evaluations at this time is NC (URL
m, URLn) and the number of unnecessary evaluations by UNC (URLm, UR
Ln).

A page in which at least one of the partial scores is smaller than the threshold value α is determined to be an unrelated page. The remaining pages are determined to be related pages. For related pages,
The relevance score (R
S (URLn)) is calculated. Also, the evaluation target page for which no partial score was obtained is determined as a new / unevaluated page. The judgment result is transmitted to the search means 120 of the client terminal 100 and presented to the searcher on the search result display unit 122. The relevance score is expressed by the following equation. RS (URLn) = Ave (PS (URLm, URL
n)).

FIG. 13 shows the flow of processing for creating a list of pages having a high degree of relevance to the evaluation condition list. The related page list creation processing is performed by the list creation means 1
The command is executed by using the related page list request command from 10 as a trigger. The related page list request command is issued when the list request button of the list creation unit 110 is clicked by the searcher. Here, the list in the format of FIG.
Is sent to

The relevance determination means 220 searches all the evaluations registered in the page-related dictionary 212 using an arbitrary combination of pages in the evaluation condition list as an evaluation condition.
For each retrieved page, a partial score is calculated and a relevance score is calculated in the same manner as the relevance determination for the keyword search result, and the pages are sorted by the relevance score value. Search means 121 for the top of the sorted pages
And presents it to the searcher on the search result display unit 122.

[Judgment Result Display Processing] FIG. 14 is a block diagram related to the judgment result display processing. Search means 120
Is composed of a keyword search interface 121, a relevance determination interface 122, and a search result display unit 123. The keyword search interface 121 includes a keyword input unit and a keyword search database 30.
It has a function of receiving search results from 0. The relevance determination interface 122 transmits a list of currently displayed pages to the relevance determination unit 220 when the relevance determination request command is issued, and receives a determination result from the relevance determination unit 220. It has a function to receive a list of related pages created by the command. The search result display unit 123 displays the page list and the determination result obtained in this manner. The search result display unit 123 has a function as a browser. By clicking a hyperlink displayed on the search result display unit 122, the search result can be displayed on the browser unit of the list creation unit 110. it can.

First, the searcher performs a keyword search on the database 300 using the keyword search interface 121. As a result, the list creation means 11
When the page is not registered in the list management unit 111 of No. 0, the search result is displayed on the search result display unit 122 as it is. List management unit 111 of list creation means 110
If the page is registered in the search unit 120, a relevance determination request command is issued using the relevance determination interface 122, and the result of the relevance determination process by the relevance determination unit 220 is returned to the search unit 120. . Search means 120
Changes the display state according to the received determination result.
Also, when a new page is registered in the list management unit 111 of the list creation unit 110, the list creation unit 11
From 0, an association degree determination request command is issued. Also in this case, the search unit 120 receives the determination result using the new list as the evaluation condition, and changes the display state according to the determination result.

FIG. 15 shows an example of changing the display state according to the determination result. As the determination result, a classification result of a related page, an unrelated page, a new / unevaluated page, and a relevance score of the related page are obtained. When a search result as shown in FIG.
The display is changed as shown in FIG. FIG. 15 (b)
, The search result 1 is a display when it is determined to be a related page. As shown in the figure, the characters are highlighted and the score of the relevance is displayed. In the case of an unrelated page, it is weakly displayed as in search result 2. In the case of a new / unevaluated page, it is displayed as it is as in the search result 3. Pages already registered in the necessary page list or the unnecessary page list are deleted as in search result 4.

As described above, the related page and the non-related page,
By displaying the new and unrated pages so that they can be distinguished intuitively, it is possible to minimize the number of times a searcher refers to unnecessary pages. Furthermore, by deleting the pages registered in the necessary page list and the unnecessary page list from the search result, it is possible to minimize the re-reference of the already viewed pages.

As described above, by performing the search while creating the list, while receiving the search support,
Searches can be performed with minimum reference to unnecessary pages and re-reference to already viewed pages. In addition, when a certain number of pages are registered in the list and a highly accurate determination result is returned, a related page list request command can be used to directly obtain a list of related pages. Related information can be collected efficiently.

While the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, a program for causing a computer to execute a list creation process, a relevance determination process, a determination result display process, and a page related dictionary creation / update process procedure and algorithm. Can be provided as a computer-readable recording medium such as a floppy disk, a memory card, or a compact disk (CD-ROM) as an information search support program.

[0045]

According to the present invention, by adding search support information to the result of a keyword search in a database or the Internet, a search with support can be performed using the same large search space as the searchable range of the keyword search. It can be carried out. For example, as a first support, a page-related dictionary created by a list created by another searcher classifies necessary pages and unnecessary page candidates and pages that have not been evaluated so far. Presented to the searcher. This minimizes unnecessary page references. As a second support, the pages registered in the necessary page list or the unnecessary page list are deleted from the search result. This minimizes re-referencing of already viewed pages. As a third support, the related information can be collected with high efficiency by the searcher creating the list by the list creation means or directly obtaining the list of pages highly related to the strike.

As a result of the above support, in the present invention, both the maintenance of the search area equivalent to the keyword search and the suppression of unnecessary page reference and page re-reference using the evaluation of another person are realized. You.

Since the creation and transmission of the necessary page list and the unnecessary page list are means for receiving the search support, it is easy to obtain the evaluation of the searcher who is the original information of the search support information. In addition, it is better to create a separate list for each search purpose, because high-precision evaluation is selected, and by managing the list for each search purpose, such as saving, erasing, and reading the list, A useful list is available to the searchers created.
