The device 1 (110) can be controlled. In other words, the electronic device 1 (110) can receive the search result and the recommendation query generated by the server 150 based on the search query input by the user from the server 150. At this time, the server 150 may generate a search result and a recommended query for the search query received from the electronic device 1 (110), and transmit the search result and the recommended query to the electronic device 1 (110) via the network 170. .. The server 150 may generate at least one search result corresponding to the user's search query, and generate a recommendation query as at least one related search word related to the corresponding search result for each search result. it can. As an example, the search result and the recommendation query for each search result may be generated based on the search history included in the search chat room corresponding to the interactive session between the user of the electronic device 1 (110) and the server 150. In other words, the server 150 grasps the ambiguity of the search query that is currently input based on the search history of the user, that is, the breakdown of the queries that the user has recently requested to search and the search results provided to the user for each query. It is possible to generate a search result corresponding to the corresponding search query and a recommendation query for each search result based on the ambiguity that has been grasped. The recommendation query may include not only a related search word related to the search result, but also a related search word related to the search query input by the user in some embodiments.

In operation 440, the search result storage control unit 320 corresponds the search result and the recommended query received from the server 150 via the interactive session between the user of the electronic device 1 (110) and the server 150 to the corresponding interactive session. The electronic device 1 (110) can be controlled so as to be stored as an instance message of the search chat room. All the data transmitted and received through the interactive session between the user of the electronic device 1 (110) and the server 150, that is, the search query, the search result, and the recommended query, are stored in the search chat room corresponding to the relevant interactive session. The instance message can be stored in a storage space (for example, the memory 211 or the like) on the electronic device 1 (110). The search query and the search result are stored as a separate interactive message, but may be stored in chronological order including time information, and the search result is associated with the search query so that it is possible to identify which search query the result is related to. May be stored as The recommendation query is generated for each search result that is an individual information unit corresponding to the search query, and may be stored in a form included in the corresponding search result.

In step 450, the search result display controller 330 associates the search result and the recommended query received from the server 150 via the interactive session between the user of the electronic device 1 (110) and the server 150 with the corresponding interactive session. The electronic device 1 (110) can be controlled to be displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) via the search chat room. The electronic device 1 (110) can display the search query and the search result corresponding to the corresponding search query in the form of an interactive message that interacts with the user in the search chat room. At this time, the electronic device 1 (110) can provide a recommendation query of the corresponding search result for each search result in units of the search result which is an individual information unit. In other words, the electronic device 1 (110) can display the search result displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) together with the recommended query associated with the search result.

In operation 460, the search result display controller 330 identifies the search result currently displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) in response to the screen control gesture input by the user of the electronic device 1 (110). The electronic device 1 (110) can be controlled to display the recommended query of the corresponding search result. As an example, the electronic device 1 (110) recognizes and recognizes a scroll gesture, which is a screen control gesture for a vertical direction, and a flicking gesture, which is a screen control gesture for a horizontal direction. The information displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) may be moved vertically or horizontally depending on the screen control gesture. The electronic device 1 (110) searches for the search result displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) according to the screen control gesture of the user, and displays the corresponding search result on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). However, regarding the search result displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) at this time, the recommended query of the corresponding search result can be displayed together. A recommended query is generated for each search result, but at this time, the recommended query is stored in association with the corresponding search result, and thus is actually displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). When the search result is identified, the recommended query of the identified search result can be read and displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). In other words, the search result displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) changes according to the screen movement or screen change corresponding to the screen control gesture of the user. The recommended query displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) also changes in conjunction with the search result displayed on the screen. As an example of the method of identifying the specific search result displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110), the coordinate value on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) on which the search result is displayed is determined by a predetermined criterion. The search result displayed adjacent to the reference position can be identified by comparing with the position, and the recommended query of the identified search result can be displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). ..

5 to 9 are diagrams showing an example of a search chat room which is an interactive search interface displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110).

Card can be configured in a carousel form, and the search results 620 can be displayed respectively. For example, in response to the user's flick gesture, the search results 620 may be selectively displayed one by one while the cards configured in the carousel form are being transferred to the search chat room 500.

When there are a plurality of search results 520 for “query A”, a recommended query 630 is generated for each of the search results 620, so that the search result 620 that is actually displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) is associated with the search result 620. The recommended query 630 to be executed can be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 7, two search results, that is, a search result I and a search result II are generated for “query A”, and query 1, query 2, query 3, and search result are recommended queries for search result I. It is assumed that query 11, query 12, and query 13 are generated as recommendation queries for II.

When the search result I (721) among the search results for “query A” is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110), the recommended query 731 generated for the search result I (721), that is, the query 1 , Query 2, and Query 3 are displayed (S701), and the search result II (722) is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110), the recommended query 732 generated for the search result II (722), That is, the query 11, the query 12, and the query 13 are displayed (S702). When a plurality of search results are provided for “query A”, the search results may be selectively displayed one by one by the card flick, and the search displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). According to the result, the recommendation query may also recommend the query corresponding to the corresponding search result. In other words, it is possible to provide different recommended queries for each search result in units of the search result, that is, the recommended query 731 for the search result I (721) and the recommended query 732 for the search result II (722). It is possible to offer differently.

When a new search query is input, the previous search query and the search result are moved in one direction, for example, an upward direction, and the newly input search query and the corresponding new search result are inserted into the search chat room 500. And may be displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). At this time, the recommended query for the previous search result that has deviated from the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) disappears, and the recommended query for the new search result currently displayed may be displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). ..

As shown in FIG. 8, query 1, query 2, and query 3 are generated as recommended queries for the search result of “query A”, and query 21, query 22, and query 23 are recommended queries for the search result of “query B”. Suppose it was generated.

When the search result 821 for “query A” is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110), query 1, query 2, and query 3 may be displayed as the recommended query 831 related to the search result 821 (S801). After that, when a new search query “query B” is input and “query B” and the search result 822 for “query B” are displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110), the recommended query is the search result. The recommended query 832 related to 822 may be displayed after being changed to the query 21, the query 22, and the query 23 (S802).

Referring to FIG. 9, when the search result 922 for “query B” is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110), the recommended query 932 generated for the search result 922 for “query B”, that is, the query. 21, query 22, and query 23 are displayed (S901), and the search result 921 for "query A" is displayed again on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) as the user moves the search chat room 500 by scrolling upward. In this case, the recommended query may be displayed after being changed to the recommended query 931 generated for the search result 921 of “query A”, that is, the query 1, the query 2, and the query 3 (S902).

Updating and displaying the recommended query 931 of the previous search result 921 based on the time when the previous search result 921 is displayed again from the state where the search result 922 was displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). You can As an example, when the search result 921 is displayed again after a certain time has elapsed from the initial time, the recommendation query for the search result 921 is requested again, and the latest query search result at that time is also reflected. The newly generated recommendation query 931 can be displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). For example, when the search result 921 is initially displayed, the recommended query 931 is displayed as query 1, query 2, and query 3, and when the search result 921 is displayed again after a certain period of time, the query 1, query 2 is displayed. 2′, the recommended query 931 readjusted like Query 3 may be displayed.

Therefore, based on the search result actually displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) according to the vertical scroll gesture with respect to the screen of the electronic device 1 (110), the recommended query of the corresponding search result is displayed. You can Unlike the conventional method in which the recommended query is provided only for the recently entered search query, in the embodiment of the present invention, the recommended query is provided for each search result. Even if multiple search results are generated for one query, it is possible to provide different recommended queries for each search result, and when the user searches again for previous search results, they are actually displayed on the screen. It is possible to provide a recommendation query related to the search result based on the search result.

Hereinafter, an example of a method of storing the recommended query and a method of determining the recommended query displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) will be specifically described. The method of storing the recommended query may be executed by the search result storage control unit 320 which is a component of the processor 212 of the electronic device 1 (110), and the method of determining the recommended query may be executed by the search result display control unit 330. May be done.

First, the search result storage control unit 320 may store, for each search result generated in the individual information unit corresponding to the search query, the recommended query generated for the corresponding search result.

検索結果格納制御部３２０は、検索結果を示すデータの一部因子に推薦クエリを格納してよい。一例として、検索結果格納制御部３２０は、インスタンスメッセージを示す吹出し要素（ＨＴＭＬＥｌｅｍｅｎｔ）として検索結果を格納してよいが、このとき、検索結果に該当するｄａｔａ（）メソッドの所定の因子に、推薦クエリｒｃＱｕｅｒｙ値を指定して格納してよい。 For example, when the recommendation query is “Would you like to show the video?”, “Performance group”, and “Audience rating”, the recommendation query may be configured by the field value of the search result as shown in Table 1.

The search result storage control unit 320 may store the recommendation query in some factors of the data indicating the search result. As an example, the search result storage control unit 320 may store the search result as a blowing element (HTMLElement) indicating an instance message. The rcQuery value may be specified and stored.

Basically, the recommendation query is stored in the callout corresponding to the body field of the data indicating the search result, but if there is no body field value, it is stored in the callout corresponding to the header field (header field). Good.

The method of reading the recommended query in order to display the recommended query in the search result display control unit 330 can be performed by returning the recommended query rcQuery value stored in the balloon.

Further, the search result display control unit 330 has to determine a recommended query to be displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) when a screen scroll or flick occurs, but as an example, the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) is displayed. The search result actually displayed in, that is, the callout that comes into contact with the predetermined reference line is found, and the rcQuery value stored in the corresponding callout is determined as the recommended query to be displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). You can do it.

As an example, the reference line that is a reference for determining the recommended query displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) is a vertical height (window.inerHeight) of the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) minus a predetermined value. May mean a position Here, the predetermined value may be determined in consideration of the padding-bottom value and the buffer value of the blowing container.

The search result display control unit 330 identifies the search result actually displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110), that is, the balloon that comes into contact with the reference line of the screen of the electronic device 1 (110), and determines the corresponding balloon. After reading the stored rcQuery value, it may be displayed as a recommended query on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). As an example, when the top value of the object corresponding to the blowing element is smaller than the reference line and the bottom value is the same as or larger than the reference line, the search result display control unit 330 contacts the reference line. You can judge that If there is no blowout that contacts the reference line, it may be determined that the last blowout element is in contact with the reference line.

If a blowout that comes into contact with the reference line on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) is searched for each scroll, the performance will be degraded if the number of blowouts is large, and thus a certain time ( For example, after the elapse of 500 ms, a process of searching for a blowout that comes into contact with the reference line is executed.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, in providing an interactive search service that presents a search query and search results in a form of interacting with a user, a recommendation query is provided in units of a search query input by a user. Apart from the above method, different recommendation queries can be provided for each search result in units of search results. Furthermore, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a recommended query for a corresponding search result in accordance with a search result that is actually displayed on the screen in response to a screen scroll or flick, and also to provide a previous search result. It is also possible to reconfirm the recommended query of, and even when a plurality of search results are provided for one search query, the recommended query can be easily confirmed for each search result.
