The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing an internet based question displayed on a user device by rolling.

As the use of computers and the Internet has become commonplace, users can access various websites around the world and easily obtain the information they want by using the search function provided by the web pages. This search function can be used to search a variety of information, advertisements and questions.

In the conventional question search function, a number of questions corresponding to a keyword input by a user is displayed on the screen by a certain number, and when a user clicks the title or number of the question, the corresponding question is displayed on the screen so that the question can be checked. Providing. Therefore, when a list of questions is provided in a specific order (number order, title order, search order), the questions that are displayed first are exposed to the user, whereas the questions that are displayed later are not provided with many opportunities for the user. There is this.

In addition, in the conventional question search function, the part of displaying a question in a web page is limited, and thus it is difficult to provide a question of many question providers, and accordingly, the cost of a question provider who wants to register a question and inform or advertise information. The burden was a big problem.

In addition, in the conventional question search function, after the question list is displayed on the screen, only the same question list is continuously provided on the screen until a specific command is input from the user, thereby preventing more questions from being displayed on the screen efficiently.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to randomly extract a question corresponding to a keyword requested by a user and display it on the user device, and then, after a predetermined time, roll up a predetermined number of questions and roll it on the user device to display the question on the user device. It is to provide a method and apparatus.

Another object of the present invention is to extract a question corresponding to a keyword requested by the user at random and display it on the user device, and after a predetermined time, by rolling a predetermined number of questions and rolling it on the user device, thereby restricting the web. It is to provide a method and apparatus for providing an Internet-based question that can display more questions on a page and thus reduce the cost of a question provider.

Still another object of the present invention is to display a list of questions corresponding to the keyword on the screen, so that even if a specific command is not input from the user, new questions are rolled and displayed on the screen, thereby efficiently displaying more recent questions on the screen. It is to provide a method and apparatus for providing Internet-based questions.

Another object of the present invention is to display different questions on the screen by randomly extracting different questions whenever at least one of the date, day, time, logged-in user ID, and IP address of the user device is changed. It is possible to provide a method and apparatus for providing an internet-based question which can be easily updated according to the trend and popularity.

According to an aspect of the present invention to achieve the above objects, a plurality of questions requested from at least one question provider is stored and connected to the user device via the Internet, providing a list of questions to the user device The method may further include receiving a question search request including a keyword from the user device, randomly extracting a question list corresponding to the keyword from the plurality of questions, and selecting a predetermined number of questions from the question list. Transmitting to the device, counting the question display time, and when the question display time reaches a predetermined time, an internet-based question providing method of rolling and transmitting a predetermined number of questions in the question list to the user device; Can provide a device and system corresponding to the method The.

The step of randomly extracting a question list corresponding to the keyword from the plurality of questions determines whether the state information corresponding to the user corresponds to a predetermined search criterion, and as a result of the determination, the state information corresponds to the search criterion. In this case, the method may include randomly extracting a question list corresponding to the status information and the keyword from the plurality of questions.

The status information may be at least one of a date, a day of the week, a time, a logged in user ID, and an IP address of a user device.
