Description

How to convert search characters.

The present invention relates to a method for converting a search character, and more particularly, when searching data on the Internet, after automatically converting a keyword input to a search engine into English or Japanese, and searching for corresponding data. It is about how to.

First, a brief description of the Internet is as follows.

The Internet can be defined as a connection system that connects various computers around the world through a series of technical networks and can share various information under defined rules.

The beginning of this Internet was born in 1958, SAGE, the US Air Force's air defense network. Later, in the mid-1960s, SAGE evolved into an ARPANET, linking administrations in the United States, major government agencies, and national laboratories.

ARPANET has formed a huge computer network in the United States with the participation of privately invested companies, private for-profit companies, various research institutes, and school institutions.

Eventually, this early state institutional network developed into the Internet we use today.

Since the second half of 1996, there are nearly 70,000 small host networks connected to the Internet, and more than 50 million people around the world are reported to be using the Internet.

We live in a flood of information. Now success depends on who gets more useful and accurate information. The Internet is a sea of infinite information. It is no exaggeration to say that the most practical field we can access through the Internet is to obtain information.

You can also easily communicate with people around the world and get advice. In addition, you can not only find family and friends who have long separated, but you can also get tons of publicly available materials and programs.

Nowadays, the technology level of the Internet is rapidly growing, and it is possible to receive fantastic services such as video conferencing through remote video communication, medical diagnosis, and international call through voice information.

To use the Internet, briefly explain what are the various tools provided for using the Internet, and what you can do with them.

First, E-MAIL can be thought of simply as having the same function as writing a letter. The only difference is that sending and receiving letters over the Internet is wrong. This feature is one of the most popular features on the Internet, where millions of messages are exchanged over the Internet every day. For reference, the protocols used for e-mail are SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and POP3 (Post Office Protocol).

Second, a mailing list refers to a site that sends information using e-mail. When you subscribe to a mailing list, it sends information to your e-mail address.

Third, FTP is a way to import files scattered on the Internet to your PC or system. Think of an open library of computer communications. You just need to know where the files you want can be imported into your computer. There are thousands of anonymous FTP computers on the Internet that anyone can access publicly.

Fourth, the World Wide Web can be accessed using browser programs such as Netscape or Microsoft Explorer, or simply WWW or web. While the traditional tools were operating in text mode, the web was easily accessible and retrieved from a graphical environment such as the Windows environment, allowing the public to easily access the Internet.

Fifth, TELNET is a basic tool for accessing various systems connected to the Internet. In the early days, telnet was used as a useful tool for connecting to hosts on the Internet, but now only a few use it.

Sixth, Usenet-News can be thought of as a discussion group. Usenet has a number of groups from all over the world, called newsgroups. Each newsgroup is grouped by topic, which also varies. There are newsgroups in all areas of culture, academics, information, science, sports, entertainment, games, society, and so on. Anyone can participate in the group, give their opinions, and exchange information. The greatest advantage of Usenet is that you can get a lot of advice and references about the information you want to know from experts in many specific fields around the world.

There is a huge amount of information on the Internet, and it is not easy to find the information you want. If you want to find the information you need in the vast sea of Internet information, a search engine is a tool.

Search engines can be largely classified into keyword search, index search, and meta search using multiple search engines at once.

In the conventional Internet search using the search engine to search for data, the user simply inputs a corresponding keyword of the data to be searched.

In addition, when a user wants to search data written in English, the search engine inputs the corresponding character using the character conversion key on the keyboard, and then performs the search operation. After converting to the corresponding character using, a search operation was performed.

However, the conventional method of inputting and searching a keyword has an inconvenience of having to convert the keyword into a language form in which data to be searched is written each time.

Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to search for data by automatically converting a character input by a user into Japanese or English when searching for data on the Internet using a search engine. In addition, the present invention provides a method for easily finding desired data.

1 is a perspective view generally showing the concept of using a computer in conjunction with the Internet,

2 is a flowchart showing a flow of converting a search character, according to the present invention;

3 is an exemplary view showing an example of selecting a function for converting a search character and searching data according to the present invention.

100: computer 200: automatic keyword conversion

300: Query 400: Start Search

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of converting a search character, comprising: inputting a keyword for searching data; determining whether to automatically convert the input keyword into a specific foreign language; After generating a letter corresponding to the pronunciation of the word, determining whether there is a matched word among the currently used words, and if there is no matched word among the currently used words, the input keyword to the specific foreign language And retrieving the data using the converted specific foreign language as a keyword.

Preferably, the presence or absence of the matched word is characterized in that the search by the first database consisting of the words currently used to determine.

Preferably, the conversion into the specific foreign language is characterized by using a second database composed of words corresponding to the pronunciation of the specific foreign language.

First, the input device is briefly described as follows.

Input method is divided into one or two parts related to input in Windows system.

One is the keyboard and the other is the Input Method Editor (IME), which is used when the input method is complex like our country.The languages supported at the keyboard level are Latin languages such as English and Russian, and the language that requires the IME is Korean. It is a language that requires multiple keystrokes to enter a single character, such as Japanese and Chinese.

Basically, the IME is a program that resides on the keyboard. The Windows System does not support only one language, but because it supports several languages, there may be several keyboards or IMEs.

A method of converting a search character of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

First, an application program is executed to search data on the Internet, and then a keyword of the data to be searched is entered on a search engine site using a keyboard of the computer 100 (step: S100).

By using the keyboard, it is determined whether to automatically convert the input keyword into a specific foreign language. If it is determined that the input keyword is not automatically converted into the specific foreign language, data search is performed using the input search word (S900). If it is determined that the converted keyword to a specific foreign language automatically proceeds to step S300 (step: S200).

In this case, the automatic conversion to the specific foreign language is possible since it is determined whether the keyword automatic conversion 200 is checked as shown in FIG. 3.

In addition, the specific foreign language includes Japanese and English, which are easy to express pronunciation of letters in Korean.

If it is determined in step S200 to automatically convert the keyword input to a specific foreign language, after generating a letter corresponding to the pronunciation of the input keyword (step: S300), it is determined whether there is a match word among words currently used. If a match is found among the words currently used, a search is performed with the word (step S1000). If there is no match word among the words currently used, the process proceeds to step S500.

Here, the presence or absence of the matched word is determined by searching in a first database composed of the currently used words.

If there is no matching word among the words currently used in step S400, it is determined whether the input keyword is the pronunciation of the specific foreign language (step: S500), and if it is not a specific foreign language, conversion is performed into English (step: S700). In the case of pronunciation of the specific foreign language, the input keyword is converted into the specific foreign language (steps S600 and S700).

The specific language may be a foreign language other than English, such as Japanese. For example, when the specific foreign language is Japanese, as shown in FIG. 3, a keyword of data to be searched for in the search word 300 is called 'bunka'. When input, the pronunciation of 'bunka' is a Japanese pronunciation, meaning in Korean means 'culture'.

Therefore, since the input keyword is the pronunciation of the specific foreign language, that is, the Japanese pronunciation, the input keyword 'bunka' is internally converted into the specific foreign language Japanese.

In this case, the internal conversion to Japanese may be performed by determining whether a word corresponding to a pronunciation of the input keyword exists in the second database because data corresponding to Japanese pronunciation is pre-built in a second database.

Using the converted Japanese as a keyword, the data is searched on the Internet and displayed on a monitor of the computer 100 (step: S800).

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be modified or modified in various ways. Therefore, changes in the future embodiments of the present invention will not depart from the technology of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is no need to convert an input keyword into an input method editor (IME) every time in order to retrieve data composed of English or Japanese on the Internet, so that data can be searched quickly and easily.
