In addition, by extracting the user information corresponding to the hardware unique number received together from the database to select the appropriate advertising link based on the user information and the query, combined with the search results and reconstructed. In addition, the combined HTML format data is transmitted to the transceiver 400 to be displayed on a web browser.

In other words, the reconstruction of the search results is to analyze the user information and expose the advertisement link of the content that the user is likely to be interested in according to the user's age, region, and income level in the search results using one or more search engines. . In addition, it is possible to expose relevant advertisement links not only user information but also query terms. That is, a plurality of query terms may be stored in a database for each advertisement link, and then a corresponding banner advertisement may be exposed whenever a query is input. For example, when searching for a food cooking method, a banner advertisement of a shopping mall selling food ingredients may be exposed.

The exposure of the advertisement link may be performed by displaying a banner advertisement corresponding to the query word in the upper and lower or left and right margins of the area where the search result of the web browser is displayed. That is, in integrating the search results transmitted from one or more search engines and displaying them on a web browser, a certain margin may be formed on the left, right, and top and bottom sides in consideration of the resolution that can be implemented in the user's personal computer. This margin helps the user to comfortably recognize the search result, and the search result can be reconfigured to insert a banner advertisement or the like in a certain portion of the margin.

In addition, when receiving and reconstructing the search results from one or more search engines, the addresses of the search results searched by the one or more search engines are compared and matched, that is, the common items that are identically searched by one or more search engines are removed. The search results can be arranged according to the order of the search engines. That is, the search results of the user's preferred search engine can be displayed at the top, and the search results of the remaining search engines can be displayed at the bottom. The user may arrange the order of the search engines among the plurality of search engines in order on the drop-down list 300, or determine the preferences in order of the most used search engines according to the frequency with which the user uses the search engines. It may be. In addition, each search engine has a different way of displaying the search results. Specifically, the spaces on the left and right sides of the screen and the structure of the frames may be different. Therefore, the search results are received from each search engine to unify the search results. Can be displayed on the screen. In other words, it integrates all the search results received from each search engine and edits and integrates the screen display form at the level of the html source to open and display a new web browser window.
