Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that the information retrieved by a client from a information resource of a server which is conducted and controlled in a limited range with a searching engine is insufficient in amount and biased in contents, or even in the case of the amount of information in satisfied, selection of desirable information is difficult from vast amount of information. SOLUTION: When a client practices to search with a parental or puerile search engine as shown by figure 1, information of data base that is information resource of the search engine and information of database that is information resource of plural search engines are searched all together, information that the client wants is picked up, and after that a selection of category and narrowing down with keyword are operated at once, information that the client wants can be gotten as contents and quantity narrowed down.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for simultaneously and dynamically extracting information desired by a client from a plurality of search engine databases using a network such as the Internet and an intranet. For the information in the database, you can narrow down the information you want to search for each category desired by the client, and sort the information obtained as search results in the order that contains the most keywords, the most necessary for the client A system that provides information data.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there are many search engines on the Internet, but many of the existing search engines are represented by multi-agents and the like. It was to get the information of the original search engine database. Although it is not a search engine, there is already a distributed database system that connects multiple computers via a network and shares a database with each application.

[0003] In recent directory type search engines, there is a database classified by category, but it is one search engine site, and when the database of the server is accessed, the client can access the database. It was not possible to obtain dynamic information from the database beyond the domain of the server, that is, a database owned by a completely different server. Of course, it was not possible to acquire information by simultaneous access to the information held by the user as the delivery destination of the search engine, that is, the database serving as the information resource.

In the robot search engine, the registered URL is traced back through the network.
HTML (Hyper-Text Mark-up L
In this method, information to be provided in the language is acquired by a so-called spider program, stored in a database of its own server, and provided to the client as information.

[0005] Many systems have already been used to provide various types of information at a single server using a centralized management system.

[0006] There is a method by which the information is shared among several different servers and managed and operated by the distributed management system.

[0007] Build an alternative server by mirroring,
There are management and operation methods that have the same information resources and provide services.

[0008] When the client performs a search,
And search by keyword and or to narrow down the huge amount of information that hits thousands or tens of thousands of information
There are many types that do the search.

Regarding the delivery of search engines, there are services that only deliver one independent and customizable search engine.

As a method of narrowing down search information, there is a method of displaying search results within one month, that is, retroactive to the date and time of registered information.

[0011]

As described above, in a search engine in which a client searches based on information resources held by a server managed and operated in one mechanism,
The amount of information is limited, and sometimes it is very difficult to obtain the search result intended by the client.

[0012] In the existing large search engine,
When the number of search results executed by the client is tens of thousands, it is difficult to obtain the information you want from the vast amount of information. It was difficult to do.

When further narrowing down the search result information, a narrowing down method such as an or search or an ore search may rather increase the amount of information. In some cases, many things were included.

[0014] Even if it is attempted to obtain fresher information from the information of the search result, there is no narrowing means, and it is difficult to obtain ideal search information.

[0015] The existing customizable search engine based on the online distribution service is independent of itself.
Or, since it is an isolated search engine, the amount of information stored in the database had to start from zero immediately after establishment. Therefore, there was a client visiting the site, and it was difficult to obtain satisfactory information even when performing a search.

[0016]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has made the following. As shown in FIG. 1, when a client executes a search from a search engine that is a parent or a child, not only a database that is an information resource of the search engine, but also a database that is an information resource of a plurality of search engines. We checked the information at the same time and got the information that the client intended.

According to the present invention, not only a keyword search but also an information resource when a client tries to search,
When searching, the category itself can be selected and narrowed down. Therefore, the keyword can be searched further in the selected category.
In addition, a click-type inversion button is used in the interface for selecting categories, which facilitates communication with the control unit.

[0018] By adopting a click-type button for the search result information at the time of the search, the information once selected and obtained is rearranged in the order including more keywords. As a result, the client can re-edit the information in the order of the information including more intended keywords.

Further, by adopting a click-type button for the search result information, the registered information is further identified within two months, and the information is rearranged in order from the most recently registered information. To make it easier to obtain information.

When a client executes a search, the search processing unit is designed to relate not only a database placed on one server machine but also a plurality of server machines and a plurality of databases. More information can be obtained.

Further, by making the same interface in the database part with the existing search engine, the existing search engine A, the existing search engine B,... C Has made it possible to display how many pieces of registration information are needed, and to edit and display that information.

[0022]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present invention links a database of a plurality of search engines connected via a network such as the Internet,
From more information resources, it is now possible to obtain information closer to the information that clients need.

[0023]

FIG. 2 shows a case where a client performs an information search in a parent search engine, the command is received in an interface unit, and an information resource in the parent search engine is searched by a first information search control unit. Shows a process in which the second information search control unit searches for information resources in a plurality of child search engines. At this time, the parent search engine allows the category to be narrowed down for the item to be searched, and the search result control unit rearranges the feedback to the client to the intended content.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the client performs an information search from a child search engine, information intended by the client is retrieved from a database serving as an information resource through a first information search control unit of the search engine. Withdraw and display in search results. Also, through the interface parts of other search engines that are related at the same time,
Extract the information from the database. On this occasion,
All such information is displayed as a search result as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, by connecting the second information search control unit and the interface unit of the existing search engine,
Search information can be extracted from the database, which is an information resource owned by existing search engines,
These pieces of information can be displayed as search results shown in FIG.

When the client performs a search, after inputting a keyword, the user can click a button of a target category as shown in FIG. 5 and invert the condition to set a narrowing-down condition for the search. In addition, this specification can narrow down not only one category but a plurality of categories at the same time. Next, by clicking the execute button, the search can be performed under the conditions intended by these clients. The search result at this time is as shown in FIG.

Further, by providing a search result control unit for the search results performed by the client, it is possible to further rearrange the acquired information. This is linked with the Super Fresh button, which traces back the time until two months ago, sorts and displays the most recent information in order, and makes it possible to obtain the latest relevant information intended by the client. Also, by linking with the super search button, words that become keywords when a search is performed are rearranged and displayed in order from the one containing the most words. These super fresh and super search functions are on the screen shown in FIG. 6 which displays the searched results, and are linked to the respective functions by pressing the super fresh button and the super search button.

[0028]

As described above, when a client performs a search, only a conventional search using a keyword is performed.
Because the amount of information displayed as search results is enormous, by narrowing down one or more categories, it is now possible to narrow down both keywords and categories at the same time. Therefore, it becomes easy to obtain the information that the client is seeking.

Also, in the search results, a super fresh button and a super search button are employed to make it easier for the client to obtain the information intended by the client.
By adding more conditions to the search results, it has become easier to obtain the information that is most needed.

By making a relationship with a plurality of search engines, it has become possible to obtain information from a database as each information resource. As a result, even a search engine having only a small amount of information resources can search from many information resources required by a client.

By making it possible to make a relationship with an existing search engine, the conventional search engine can be given a wider range. Also, even if one of the search engines does not have the information, one has the information,
It is now possible to provide feedback to clients.

In this way, the information required by the client can be more easily obtained by interlocking the respective mechanisms.
