The present invention is intended for Internet users around the world (hereinafter referred to as users) .

With the spread of the Internet and search engines, it has become possible to obtain information of all kinds. The following patent documents are listed as documents describing such a search engine.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 2006-31084 Japanese Patent Publication No. 2002-132808 Japanese Patent Publication No. 2000-112972

Challenges for visual classification display of search results.
With the widespread use of the Internet and search engines, it has become possible to obtain all kinds of information. However, since the amount of information is enormous, the user's effort to classify information in proportion to the amount of information increases.
(0003-1)
For example, using the keyword “patent” using a conventional search engine
When searching, about 26,000,000 sites are hit as search results.
The search results are based on the site title, URL, simple site content,
Since the last modified date is displayed as a list of search results, the user's
Which categories the search results are distributed across
Since it is also unclear visually how many hits are in the distribution category,
It is difficult to efficiently browse the category that the user desires to browse preferentially.
(0003-2)
In addition, about 26,000,000 search results are viewed in units of 10 per page.
If you do, you must browse search results corresponding to 2,600,000 pages,
It ’s difficult to see everything in reality, and 26,000,000
Of the search results, more than half of the search results will end without browsing.
On the other hand, other search engines also show categories as search results,
It does not show the entire distribution of the categories in all categories,
Since it is displayed in the form of a simple list of search results, user search results
Which category is distributed over the entire category, and
The number of hits is unknown.
(0003-3)
As you can see, traditional search engines categorize information by category,
Instead of visually classifying search results by category, simply display a list of search results.
Therefore, relying on the list of search results and sometimes the intuition of users
There remains the inconvenience that you must browse.
That is, the burden of the search result classification work is imposed on the user.

Challenges to search keyword flexibility.
When searching for information on the Internet, it is searched for keywords,
The above keywords must be described only in a list of words in the HTML file,
Also, there is an upper limit on the number of keywords that can be described, and the user originally wants it.
Search results may not be obtained.
For example, if you want to narrow down the search results with a conventional search engine, use the search condition input field.
You can search by separating multiple keywords, but such a search is a search target.
User wants to browse to check if it matches the keyword of HTML file
Even if the site exists, as long as it does n’t match the keywords in the above file,
Users cannot browse the site. To search for irony
The keyword may prevent you from searching for the site you want to browse.

Issues with the search function for media files.
When searching for information on the Internet, not only sites, but also audio and video files (hereinafter referred to as media files) may be searched.
Since there are few conditions for searching for the media file, there may be a case where a search result originally desired by the user cannot be obtained.
For example, a conventional search engine can also search for the media file,
The search condition for the media file depends on the storage format of the media file.
Search for the media file, such as search or search by the size of the media file.
Although the search is mainly based on appearance characteristics, the above-mentioned appearance characteristics are searched for media files.
It is information found in the results, and when the user searches for the media file,
Such appearance features are unknown in most cases.
Originally, the condition for the user to search for the media file is more than the appearance feature.
The title, performer name, highlight name, description of the media file, or
It is natural and easy to use the search condition by guessing the copyright name.
In the future, as the science and technology further develop, the information transmission medium will grow in proportion.
Apparently, aside from conventional information transmission media using text data,
For information transmission media that cannot be expressed in text data,
I guess the need will increase.
It is necessary to take a new search means for the media file.

An overall configuration for solving the problem will be described.

The present invention is intended for Internet users around the world (hereinafter referred to as users) .

With the spread of the Internet and search engines, it has become possible to obtain information of all kinds. The following patent documents are listed as documents describing such a search engine.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 2006-31084 Japanese Patent Publication No. 2002-132808 Japanese Patent Publication No. 2000-112972

Challenges for visual classification display of search results.
With the widespread use of the Internet and search engines, it has become possible to obtain all kinds of information. However, since the amount of information is enormous, the user's effort to classify information in proportion to the amount of information increases.
(0003-1)
For example, using the keyword “patent” using a conventional search engine
When searching, about 26,000,000 sites are hit as search results.
The search results are based on the site title, URL, simple site content,
Since the last modified date is displayed as a list of search results, the user's
Which categories the search results are distributed across
Since it is also unclear visually how many hits are in the distribution category,
It is difficult to efficiently browse the category that the user desires to browse preferentially.
(0003-2)
In addition, about 26,000,000 search results are viewed in units of 10 per page.
If you do, you must browse search results corresponding to 2,600,000 pages,
It ’s difficult to see everything in reality, and 26,000,000
Of the search results, more than half of the search results will end without browsing.
On the other hand, other search engines also show categories as search results,
It does not show the entire distribution of the categories in all categories,
Since it is displayed in the form of a simple list of search results, user search results
Which category is distributed over the entire category, and
The number of hits is unknown.
(0003-3)
As you can see, traditional search engines categorize information by category,
Instead of visually classifying search results by category, simply display a list of search results.
Therefore, relying on the list of search results and sometimes the intuition of users
There remains the inconvenience that you must browse.
That is, the burden of the search result classification work is imposed on the user.

Challenges to search keyword flexibility.
When searching for information on the Internet, it is searched for keywords,
The above keywords must be described only in a list of words in the HTML file,
Also, there is an upper limit on the number of keywords that can be described, and the user originally wants it.
Search results may not be obtained.
For example, if you want to narrow down the search results with a conventional search engine, use the search condition input field.
You can search by separating multiple keywords, but such a search is a search target.
User wants to browse to check if it matches the keyword of HTML file
Even if the site exists, as long as it does n’t match the keywords in the above file,
Users cannot browse the site. To search for irony
The keyword may prevent you from searching for the site you want to browse.

Issues with the search function for media files.
When searching for information on the Internet, not only sites, but also audio and video files (hereinafter referred to as media files) may be searched.
Since there are few conditions for searching for the media file, there may be a case where a search result originally desired by the user cannot be obtained.
For example, a conventional search engine can also search for the media file,

The present invention is intended for Internet users around the world (hereinafter referred to as users).

With the spread of the Internet and search engines, it has become possible to obtain information of all kinds. The following patent documents are listed as documents describing such a search engine.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 2006-31084 Japanese Patent Publication No. 2002-132808 Japanese Patent Publication No. 2000-112972

Challenges for visual classification display of search results.
With the widespread use of the Internet and search engines, it has become possible to obtain all kinds of information. However, since the amount of information is enormous, the user's effort to classify information in proportion to the amount of information increases.
(0003-1)
For example, if you search using the keyword "patent" using a conventional search engine, about 26,000,000 sites will be hit as search results.
In this search result, the site title, URL, simple site content, last update date, etc. are displayed as a simple list of search results. It ’s also unclear visually, and how many hits are in the distribution category,
It is difficult to efficiently browse the category that the user desires to browse preferentially.
(0003-2)
In addition, when browsing about 26,000,000 search results in units of 10 per page, the search results corresponding to 2,600,000 pages must be browsed.
In reality, it is difficult to browse all of them, and the current situation is that, without viewing more than half of the 26,000,000 search results, the search results will end.
On the other hand, other search engines also show categories as search results,
It does not show the entire distribution of the categories in all categories,
Since it is displayed in the form of a simple list of search results, user search results
It is unknown in which category the entire category is distributed and the number of hits in the distribution destination category.
(0003-3)
As you can see, traditional search engines categorize information by category,
Search results are not visually categorized by category, but are simply displayed as a list of search result lists, so you have to browse the site depending on the list of search result lists and sometimes users' intuition. The inconvenience remains.
That is, the burden of the search result classification work is imposed on the user.

Challenges to search keyword flexibility.
When searching for information on the Internet, it is searched for keywords,
The above keywords must be described only in a list of words in the HTML file,
In addition, there is an upper limit to the number of keywords that can be described, and there are cases where a search result originally desired by the user cannot be obtained.
For example, if you want to narrow down the search results with a conventional search engine, you can search by separating multiple keywords in the search condition input field, but whether such a search matches the keyword of the HTML file to be searched. To check, even if there is a site that the user wants to browse, unless it matches the keyword in the above file,
Users cannot browse the site. Ironically, keywords for searching also may hinder the search for sites you want to browse.

Issues with the search function for media files.
When searching for information on the Internet, not only sites, but also audio and video files (hereinafter referred to as media files) may be searched.
Since there are few conditions for searching for the media file, there may be a case where a search result originally desired by the user cannot be obtained.
For example, a conventional search engine can also search for the media file,
The search condition for the media file is a search mainly based on the appearance characteristics of the media file, such as a search based on a storage format of the media file or a search based on the size of the media file. The feature is information that is found from the search result of the media file, and when the user searches for the media file,
Such appearance features are unknown in most cases.
Originally, the condition for the user to search for the media file is that the title, the performer name, the highlight name, the description, the copyright name, etc. of the media file are inferred from the appearance characteristics. It is natural and easy to use.
In the future, in the process of further development of science and technology, the information transmission medium is expected to develop in proportion, not only the conventional information transmission medium using text data,
For information transmission media that cannot be expressed by text data, it is assumed that the need for the media file will increase.
It is necessary to take a new search means for the media file.

An overall configuration for solving the problem will be described.
