The present invention relates to a method for enabling a user to view a list of advertisement URLs simultaneously with a web page selected from a web page or a search result, and a system employing the method.

Before the development of the Internet, people could find books and materials to get the information they needed if they needed it. However, with the recent development of high speed data communication networks, many people have come to use the Internet, and have been able to obtain information that they want to find using various kinds of services provided by the Internet. In other words, the Internet provides information and various knowledge contained in books, news, and the like. Thus, people can easily get the information they need without having to spend a lot of time.

Meanwhile, the number of portal sites that provide various services and information to users is increasing. That is, the user can search on multiple sites with the same search word, thereby obtaining more information. Accordingly, when there is information to be searched for, the user accesses the first site and searches for the information to be searched by inputting the search word. However, if the search result is not satisfactory or if more information is desired, the user has to access the second site and enter the search word again. That is, when the search term searched on the second site is the same as the search term searched on the first site, the user has to find the second site to search and input the search term. Therefore, the same search terms did not satisfy the needs of users who searched on various sites.

Therefore, if you need to search by the same search terms, you do not need to find another site and enter a search term. When you access the first site, enter a search term, and request a search, you can check the search results searched by the search terms on multiple sites with just a click. There is a need for a way to do this.

In addition, with the generalization of the Internet, many people have been able to obtain the information they are looking for using various kinds of services provided by the Internet.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment of the present invention;

1 is a diagram illustrating a network configuration of a search service support system using a toolbar program according to the present invention.

A user may access the search service support system 120 using the user terminal 110 to use the Internet search service.

Accordingly, the search service support system 120 provides the user with a URL search link for searching the same search word in a plurality of search sites. The search service support system 120 includes a toolbar module 121, a UL database 122, and an internet search support server 123.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the toolbar module 121 is installed in the user terminal 110, to monitor the user's search request. That is, according to the installation agreement of the user, a toolbar program is installed in the user terminal 110 and a toolbar menu is generated on the top of the web browser. The toolbar module 121 intercepts a user request URL generated by the search request when the user accesses a first site providing a search service through a web browser, inputs a search word, and requests a search. The user request URL is a combination of a search category, a first site URL, and a search term. The toolbar module 121 transmits the user request URL to the internet search support server 123 so as to generate a URL search link in the toolbar menu of the web browser.

The URL database 122 stores a search category URL for each search category of the search service site. 2 to 5 will be described in detail with the UAL database.

2 to 5 are diagrams showing one embodiment of the UEL database according to the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the UL database 122 may store a search category URL for each search category. Search categories (search fields) can be classified into various categories such as local search, English dictionary search, image search, and the like. In Fig. 2, a search category URL having "local search" as a search category is stored. In general, a user searches for information to be searched by the integrated search including all categories, but in some cases, the user may search by using different search categories. The search category 201 may be displayed differently depending on the site. Thus, the UL database 122 stores a search category URL according to the search category.

The search category URL is a combination of a search category 201, a site URL 202, and a search term 203. The search service support system 120 compares the user request URL with the search category 201 and the site URL 202 stored in the UL database 122.

The UL database 122 shown in FIG. 3 stores a search category URL using "English dictionary search" as a search category. In addition, the search term 203 field is stored as "CAMERA" in the search category URL. Therefore, the URL database 122 stores a search category URL for a search term entered by the user in the search category of "English dictionary search", and when another user requests a search with the same search term, The search category URL stored in 122 may be extracted and used as it is.

In addition, the UL database 122 shown in FIG. 4 stores a search category URL using "image search" as a search category. The search term 203 field is stored as "MP3" in the search category URL.

As shown in FIG. 5, the UL database 122 stores a search link URL according to a search field. The search link URL includes a search category and a site URL of a site including a search category. The internet search support server 123 may differently display the search link URL displayed in the web browser according to the search category with reference to the UAL database 122. In addition, in the case of frequently searched words, the UL database 122 may store a search link URL including a search word.

The Internet search support server 123 compares the search category URL stored in the UL database 122 with the user request URL to identify a matching search category URL. That is, the first part of the user request URL is compared with the URL of the search category (search category 201 and site URL 202) to identify whether there is a matching search category URL. Accordingly, the Internet search support server 123 extracts a search category of the identified search category URL as a search category corresponding to the user request URL. In addition, the Internet search support server 123 extracts the search term 203 from the user request URL, excluding the extracted search category URLs (search category 201 and site URL 202).

The internet search support server 123 combines the search word with the search category URL of the second search site corresponding to the extracted search category. The internet search support server 123 generates a URL search link of the second search site corresponding to the extracted search category and transmits it to the toolbar module 121.

The user terminal 110 receives the generated URL search link from the Internet search support server 123 by the toolbar program and displays the generated URL search link on the toolbar menu at the top of the web browser. The URL search link displayed in the toolbar menu may be displayed as 501, 502, or 503 shown in FIG. 5 according to a search category.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the toolbar module 121 may display a URL search link of at least one or more second search sites corresponding to the extracted search categories received from the Internet search support server 123. In the infoband. In addition, the toolbar module 121 displays a predetermined number of search results corresponding to the extracted search word in the infoband of the user web browser.

6 and 7 illustrate an embodiment of a screen for providing a search service according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the user terminal 110 may display a URL search link of a second search site in an infoband of a user web browser. The infoband may display separate information in the left margin, like a bookmark field of a web browser. This allows the user to easily check the URL search link. The user may click a URL search link of a second search site to search for and check the search result in the same search term as the first site in the second search site.

Referring to FIG. 7, the user terminal 110 may display a predetermined number of search results corresponding to the extracted search word in an infoband of the user web browser. Since the search result is a search result displayed in a web browser, which is easy for the user to view, this advantage may be used to display an advertisement in the search result. Therefore, the operator who operates the site may pay a predetermined advertising fee to the company that provides the search result to display the own search site in the infoband of the web browser. Thus, more users can visit their site so that the site can be activated.
