  Various embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the following description is merely an example of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited by the following description.

  It should also be understood that the “system”, “server”, “client”, etc. of the present invention are suitable for any known or later-developed information retrieval / storage application.

<System configuration>
FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a general WWW search engine (cited from JPO “Standard Technology Collection (Search Engine) Database: Overview of Technical Trends of Search Engines”).
The present invention realizes the following characteristic functions by using the WWW search engine having such a configuration.
The Internet WEB 101 stores a large number of HTML text groups 11. There are two types of methods for organizing the HTML text group 11 into a searchable form: one using a web robot (crawler) 103 and one using a directory type registration 17.

  The former (by the web robot 103) is a search engine that circulates and collects web pages by tracing links (hyperlinks) in the web page and indexes and provides HTML files so that they can be searched. The text group 13 collected by the web robot 103 is temporarily stored in the server 105, and then an index file 109 (database) in which the indexer 107 extracts URLs, feature words of the contents of the web page, and the like, and can be searched by keywords. A kind).

  The latter (according to the directory type registration 17) is a type of information collection method in which WWW pages are manually collected, classified and provided, and is a search engine equipped with a category type search system. Also in this case, as in the case of the web robot 103, an index file 109 (a type of database) that can be searched by a keyword is extracted by extracting feature words of URLs and web page contents.

Next, using the index file 109 created in this manner, the client (user) 115 performs a predetermined search by the search server 111 via the web server 113. In the embodiment of the present invention, a database 117 is connected to the search server 111, and data as described below is stored in the database 117, so that “when a predetermined user performs a search, unique to the present invention. In addition, the search results stored by other users can be displayed as the search results at the same time.
In this embodiment, the database 117 is connected to the search server 111. However, the database 117 can be connected to, for example, the web server 113, and the invention described in the claims of this application is limited in this respect. is not.

The search server 111 adds information such as the display order of search results to the web page registered in the index file 109.
The web server 113 that creates the search result page displayed on the browser 115 inquires the search server 111 about the keyword input to the search window by the client (user) 115, and formats and displays the result returned from the search server 111. To do.
In the database 117, search results (text data, images, videos, etc., and their titles) in _response to a search request from the client (user) _1151-M are designated by the web browser client (user) _1151-M . search keyword can be stored in a state where ID, and associated for identifying the user _O115 -1~M web browser client (user) 115 _{1 to M.}

The purpose of the search request is to search for the above search keyword from various text data, images, videos, etc. stored in the index file 109 from the clients (users) ₁₁₅₁ to _M and their titles. Or data having relevance to the keyword is extracted.

The access to the index file 109, the contracts, given client (user) 115 _{1 to m,} and if it is limited only in the range of _(m <= M), there is no such restriction There can be both cases.

Hereinafter, the client (user) 115 1 _-M will be simply referred to as a client (user) 115 in order to indicate the entire client (user) 115 1 _-M or one of those clients (users).

<Search procedure>
A flow until a predetermined search result is obtained by the keyword search and the search result is stored in the database 117 will be described.

Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. FIG. 2 is a screen transition diagram when the Internet web 101 is searched using the predetermined keyword (“PC” in this example) in the web browser 115. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a keyword search procedure.
First, as shown in FIG. 5, the client (user) 115 is prompted to input a user ID and a password (S503). If the input is correct, the user is prompted to input a search keyword (S507).
Here, first, the client (user) 115 _1, for example, screen 2A in FIG. 2 is displayed. At the top of this screen 2A, there is a search keyword input section 2A01.

Now, the client (user) 115 ₁ of the user O115_ ₁ it is assumed that input the keyword "computer" in the search keyword input box 2A01 (Fig. 5 step S507).
Next, the user is prompted to select whether the search target is text (character string) (2A01a), still image (2A01b), or moving image (2A01c) (S509). In this example, if nothing is specified, text information is searched as a default ((t) in S509). In this example, it is assumed that text information (2A01a) is selected. (Note that in this embodiment, text (character string) (2A01a), still image (2A01b), or moving image (2A01c) is selected in this way. (You can search everything and remember what you need.)

Next, when a search is executed based on the keyword (S510), the result is displayed as 2Btxt (S511).
In 2Btxt, as an example of the displayed search results, the text of a web page with three titles “Purchase PC” (2Bt03), “PC Repair” (2Bt05), and “Use PC” (2Bt07) Data is shown.
User O115_ ₁ is, for example, "Repair of the personal computer," you want to store the information of the WEB page of the (2Bt05), if desired said, "SAVE?" On the right side of the item click on the button (2Bt05b) (2Ctcl) (S513).
If there are other items to be saved (S515 → Y), click the “Save?” Button on the right side of the item, and if there are other keywords to be searched (S517 → Y), the screen returns to screen 2A. And search again.

  FIG. 3 shows a screen transition diagram when still image information is selected as a search target, and FIG. 4 shows a screen transition diagram when moving image information is selected as a search target. These screen transition states can be performed in the same manner as in the case of the text data described above with reference to FIG. The data on the Internet web searched and stored in this manner (actually, the data searched from the index file. The mode includes text, still images, moving images, etc.) in the database 117. It is stored in the following form.

<Data storage mode on the Internet web>
Table 1 below shows how the data stored in the database 117 is stored in the above procedure.

As can be understood from Table 1, the stored data includes the ID of the user who performed the keyword search (for example, O115 ₋₁ ), the URL stored in the search result (http: //www.zaq.plm.---- -, Etc.), the title of the page of the URL (for example, repair of a personal computer), and a flag (for example, txt) indicating the type of content of the page (for example, txt is text, s is a still image, m Represents a moving image), and is stored in association with each other. Table 1 shows an example of what the content of the storage URL itself (text, still image, moving image, etc.) is, but this information itself does not need to be stored in the database 117. . This is because the URL is stored, and if it is desired to obtain the contents of the information itself, it is only necessary to access the URL again.

<Description of “My Summary Page” and “Everyone's Summary Page” Display Screen>
As described above, the results of searching for WWW by various keywords by a plurality of clients (users) (for example, O115 _{-1 to} O115 _-10 ) are the user ID, search keyword, URL stored in the search result, URL It can be understood that the title and the content identification flag are stored in the database 117 in a form associated with each other.
