The present invention relates to a search system and a search method. In particular, a smart search system that prevents a wrong connection through correction of an incorrectly input search word and address, and enables a quick and immediate output of frequently used information, and the same. It relates to a smart search service method used.

In general, users using the Internet use a search tool provided through the Internet to search for desired content and specific information. Examples of such a search tool include a topic-based search method in which categories or directories are organized in a multi-layered manner, an index search method using keywords and operators, and a meta search method that aggregates and provides results from various search engines.

To use such a search tool, you must visit a website that provides query input fields, such as a search box or address bar, or use a browser. Websites are often provided by service providers that provide portal services, and mainly provide index search methods together with directory search.

There are three main types of users who use search tools through portal sites or browsers. One method is to enter a user's address directly into the address bar provided by a browser or explorer, and the other method is to use a search result provided by entering a search word in a search field. The last one is using directory search to access the results you want.

First, a method of directly inputting a user's known address in the address bar is a method commonly used when accessing frequently visited websites. This method is the fastest way to connect by entering the IP address, FTP, HTTP connection address in the address bar. However, there is a problem of memorizing the addresses of all sites that a user wants to access, and the hassle of manually inputting an address. In particular, typos often occur due to direct entry of addresses, and in this case, problems associated with unwanted webpages occur. In particular, in the case of a non-English-speaking country such as Korea, a problem frequently occurs in that it is impossible to connect by inputting a Korean address corresponding to the English address in the address bar.

On the other hand, a method of deriving a search result by directly inputting a search word in a search field provided by a website is to search by inputting text that a user wants to search in a search field such as a search window. When a user enters a search word, a search engine linked to a website searches for a web page related to the search word and outputs it on a browser, and the user selects and uses a desired result from among the results. As with the address bar method, the method using this search field shares the problems caused by a typo or non-language switching. In addition, the use of the search field has a problem in that the user is embarrassed by providing a search result as much as unnecessary when the user does not exactly know the search item. In addition, since many users frequently search content, content that they simply want to search and output is output in the same way as other search results, it requires a lot of effort and time for the user.

That is, as described above, the user may predict in advance the results that the user does not want, such as typos, non-language conversion, unnecessary search results, and incorrect address information, and provide self-correction to reduce the user's trouble and time. There is a need for a search and connection method that reduces the excessive load on the system. In addition, there is a need for a search method that can immediately provide the user with frequently found results or simply printable information.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a smart search system and a smart search service method using the same, which prevents a wrong connection in advance by correcting an incorrectly input search word and address, and enables a quick and immediate output of frequently used information. To provide.

It is another object of the present invention to provide smart information including connection information, error correction information, additional information, and function information, and output at about the same time as the user's information request, thereby minimizing the acquisition of the user's mistakes and inaccurate results. The present invention provides a smart search system capable of obtaining fast information and results, and a smart search service method using the same.

Another object of the present invention is a smart application installed in the user's terminal to minimize the load of the network, the user terminal, the smart system and maximize the efficiency and the smart system for updating the smart information at a predetermined interval and the analysis function and storage area And a smart search system having an information update server for acquiring smart information and a smart search service method using the same.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a smart search system and a smart search service method using the same for maximizing the user's convenience and providing smart information with general search results so that the user can select the selection result as needed. .

Another object of the present invention is to distinguish and output the general search results and smart information, and smart output system to increase the visibility of the user and to quickly obtain and determine the information by outputting the smart information to the extended field of the search field, in particular It is to provide a smart search service method used.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an environment setting to output the output smart information according to the user's desired form, content, order, smart to make it easy to learn and use the information most needed according to the user's taste It is to provide a search system and a smart search service method using the same.

In order to achieve the above object, the smart search system according to the present invention stores smart information different from a web page provided as a search result according to a user's information request, and analyzes the information request from the user to request information from the stored smart information. Smart application that provides the smart information corresponding to the smart system, connected to the smart application via the web, preliminary smart information for updating the smart information is stored, and on the smart system and the Internet to provide the preliminary smart information at the request of the smart application It is provided with an information update server for continuously searching for new information, creating preliminary smart information with new information, and providing it to the smart system.

It comprises a fourth step of updating to and a fifth step of collecting and storing smart information.

Other features and operations of the present invention in addition to the above objects will become apparent from the detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a smart system according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a smart system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a smart application 1, a smart system 3, and an information update server 5.

The smart application 1 stores smart information, analyzes an information request from a user, and provides smart information corresponding to the information request among the stored smart information. To this end, the smart application 1 is divided into a query analyzer 7 for analyzing the user's information request and an information storage area 9 in which the smart information is stored. In addition, the smart application 1 is downloaded from the smart system 3 and installed in the terminal used by the user, and at the time of installation to secure the storage area of the terminal to form the information storage area (9). In addition, the smart application 1 outputs the result according to the user's information request in the vicinity of the field where the information request is input, so that the user can easily check. This smart application 1 will be described later with reference to FIG. 2. Here, the smart information may include linking information including URL, shortcut or link information, error correction information including incorrect URL, language non-switching or incorrect shortcut correction information, recommendation query, weather, price information, stock price information, exchange rate. It refers to information that is frequently used by many users, such as additional information including information, lottery information, designated information, or breaking news, or calculator, and function information including a unit conversion function.

The smart system 3 is connected to the smart application 1 via the web, preliminary smart information for updating the smart information is stored, and provides the preliminary smart information at the request of the smart application (1). The smart system 3 stores the installation data of the smart application 1 and provides it to the user upon request. In addition, the smart system 3 receives the preliminary smart information periodically from the information update server 5, and updates the stored preliminary smart information. The smart system 3 includes a smart server 11 for responding to the requests of the smart application 1 and the information update server 5 and an information database 13 in which preliminary smart information is stored. A detailed description of this smart system 3 will be described later with reference to FIG. 3.

The information update server 5 continuously searches for new information on the Internet, creates preliminary smart information with the retrieved new information, and provides it to the smart system 3. In addition, the information update server 5 analyzes, accumulates, statistics, and the like, information requests inputted from a plurality of smart applications 1, and the data required by many users, mistakes and frequent occurrences from users. The address information and the like are recorded, and based on this, the recommended search term information is created and transmitted to the smart system 3. The information update server 5 continuously searches and documents a large amount of web pages or web information using a search engine used in the past, and documents them to provide new preliminary smart information to the database of the smart system. .

2 is a configuration diagram showing in more detail the configuration of a smart application according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the smart application 1 according to the present invention includes a query analyzer 7 and an information storage area 9 as described above.

The query analyzer 7 analyzes the information request of the user input through the input field, and searches for the smart information corresponding to the input information request in the information storage area 9 and provides it to the user. In addition, an input storage unit provided with an input field, for example, when a user's information request is input through a web browser or a explorer, or when an operation such as a predetermined time period or a refresh of the web browser occurs, the information storage area. In order to update the smart information of (9), the smart system 3 is requested to update the smart information.

The information storage area 9 is an area in which smart information is stored, and partially uses a storage area of the user terminal 15. The information storage area 9 is divided into a connection information storage 17, an error correction information storage 19, an additional information storage 21, and a function information storage area 23.

The connection information 19 stores URLs, IPs, domain information, and the like. For example, if a user enters "administration" in the address bar, "administration" is changed to the domain address so that the user can connect to the government homepage.

The error correction information 21 stores a search word or an address list that users often input incorrectly in an address bar or a search box. The error correction information 21 stores automatic conversion information for automatically converting a wrong input query generated by inputting without switching the input language, and error correction information for correcting a query incorrectly input by a typo. That is, the automatic conversion information is information for automatically converting the input of "ㅈ" to "www" which is generated when inputting without converting Korean and English into the address bar. In addition, the error correction information is correct to correct the mistake of inputting an English letter address such as "Http://www.zosun.com" or "Http://www.cohsun.com". com ".

The additional information 21 stores weather, exchange rate, stock price, lottery information, breaking news, and designated information. For example, if a user enters "exchange rate" in the search box, the query analyzer 7 searches for information related to "exchange rate" in the storage area of the additional information 21, and then expands the search box or an area defined for output. Print it out and give it to the user Here, the representative that can be provided as information about the exchange rate may be the exchange rate for each currency versus the won. In addition, the designated information is information selected by an operator providing a smart search service, and means information selected to be output when a specific query is input. For example, assuming that the term 'presidential candidate' is becoming a social issue during the presidential election, a smart search service provider would like to see the presidential candidate ratings, voter turnout and voter votes, and votes by region. Situation, and the like as the designated information, and when the smart search service user inputs a search term 'president candidate', the 'president candidate support rate' selected as the designated information may be immediately provided to the user. That is, by providing the latest popular information or feature information that is predicted to be desired by the user through the designated information, a separate search process can be omitted.

The function information 23 simply provides functions such as a calculator and unit conversion. In many cases, the calculator function is generally provided, but in order to use the calculator while using a web browser, a separate calculator program is often required. In order to reduce such inconvenience, in the present invention, it is possible to provide functional information such as a calculator and unit conversion. For example, if the user inputs "5 + 3" into the search box, immediately outputs "8" in the output area so that the user can know the result value without running a calculator.

The environment setting information 25 is inputted with detailed condition information for the user to use the smart search service. The query analyzer 7 searches the stored smart information based on the contents described in the connection setting information 25, and outputs the retrieved information to the user. In other words, whether to output a list of suggested search terms as environment setting information (25), whether to correct a Korean-English conversion typo, whether to automatically switch addresses entered in Korean, whether to correct incorrect URLs, whether to output priority information of exchange rates, whether to output priority of stock quotes, or calculator. In addition, various options such as whether or not to provide a unit conversion function is presented, allowing the user to specify the information to output the results required by the user.

3 is a configuration diagram illustrating the configuration of the smart system of FIG. 1 in more detail.

Referring to FIG. 3, a smart system according to the present invention includes a smart server 11 and an information database 13.

The smart server 11 updates preliminary smart information stored in the information database 13 by using preliminary smart information newly created from the information update server. In addition, the smart server 11 determines whether the smart information stored in the information storage area 9 is new or not according to a request from the smart application 1, and supplies preliminary smart information corresponding to information older than the preliminary smart information. To update the smart information.

The information database 13 stores preliminary smart information, which is divided into a similar form to the information storage area 9. Each information is composed of a database, and is composed of a connection information database 27, an error correction database 29, a function information database 32, an additional information database 33, and the like. The database is not limited to this, but a database in which other information is stored may be added according to the importance of the information required by the user. Since the database 29 stores various types and a large amount of data, it is preferable to classify each database 29 into smaller items. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the connection information database 27 is a URL information storage area (or database 35) and a shortcut 37, and the error correction database 29 is connected to a wrong URL information 39 storage area. The automatic conversion information 41 storage area, the function information database 31, the calculator function 43, the unit conversion 45, etc., the additional information database 33, the recommended search term information 47, the weather information 49, the stock price. It is preferable to divide the storage areas such as the information 51, the exchange rate information 53, the lottery information 55, and the news bulletin 57, or to construct each database.

4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a smart search service method using a smart search system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the smart search service method according to the present invention includes a first step (S1) in which a smart application program is installed, a second step (S2) in which an information request is input to a browser or a explorer linked to the smart application program, And a third step (S3) of retrieving and outputting smart information according to the information request, a fourth step (S4) of updating the smart information with new information, and a fifth step (S5) of collecting smart information. The first to fifth steps do not mean a sequential order.

The first step S1 is a step in which the smart application program is installed. When the user uses the smart search service for the first time or changes the terminal, and the smart application program is not installed due to the reinstallation of the program, it is executed only for the error of the program or the upward revision of the program version. In this first step (S1), when the user connects to the smart system through the terminal he wants to use, the installation program stored in the smart access system is transmitted to the user's terminal and installed. Through this first step (S1), the smart application program is installed in the terminal and linked with a browser or a explorer that provides a search field to the user. Here, the search field refers to a means by which a user can enter a query (or information request) such as a URL or a search word to access another web page or obtain a desired result. Can be. In addition, the smart application can be linked with the terminal application installed in the user terminal in addition to the explorer or browser providing a search field. For example, when a word program for document work is installed in a user terminal, a search field may be provided in the word program by interworking with a smart application program. That is, when the smart application is installed and interworked with a word program, a search field may be provided on a menu bar or a display area of the word program, and the user may use the smart search service together with the word program. In addition, since the terminal application may be various, such as a document creator such as a word program, an image viewer, a music player that plays an MP3, and the like, a description thereof will be omitted. In addition, in the following description, for convenience of description, the browser and the explorer will be described as a representative example of interworking with a smart application, and the functions and actions described by taking the browser and the explorer as an example can be applied to the terminal application.

The second step S2 is a step in which an information request is generated and entered in a search field. In the second step S2, the user may use different kinds of search fields according to the search purpose or method. In other words, if the purpose is to access other websites, the information request is entered in the address bar, and if the purpose is to obtain a result matching a specific search word, the information request is entered in the search box.

The third step (S3) is a step in which the smart application finds the information corresponding to the user's information request from the information stored in the information storage area according to the information request and provides it with the search result during input of a search command or with a separate search result. That is, the third step S3 determines whether the user's information request has been entered into the search box, the address box, whether a typo has occurred, whether the Korean-English conversion has been made, or whether automatic conversion is necessary. Searching for and outputting the smart information according to. In addition, the smart information output of the third step S3 is output during the input or after the input is terminated according to the information request. In more detail, the address bar and the search box have been described above as examples of the search field. In the case of the address bar, the user enters the address in English and can search similar information in the information storage area whenever English letters are added. In this case, when a character expected to be a typo is input, the corrected result and a similar address used by many users are presented to allow the user to determine whether or not a typo is entered. In addition, when using the search box, enter the information request and perform a search, the general search results are provided by updating the web page. On the other hand, the smart information can be minimized by separately searching by presenting the smart information matching the input information request in the extended area of the search window at the moment of input into the search box, the moment the input is temporarily stopped.

The fourth step S4 is a step in which the smart system updates information held by the smart application according to a predetermined condition. Since the Internet changes from time to time, it is necessary to update the information steadily, but inadvertent update causes a problem that the network or user's terminal is heavily loaded. Therefore, in the fourth step S4, the smart information may be updated in consideration of the first time the browser is started or the current page is refreshed, a predetermined time elapses after the last information request is input, and a predetermined time elapses after the last update. In addition, for some information designated by a user, a method of forcibly updating the smart system may be considered separately from the above-described conditions.

The fifth step S5 is collecting smart information. This fifth step (S5) is carried out by the information update server, and the information update server, after the information update server is determined to be new among the many information posted on the web and transferred to the smart system. The new information is stored in each database by the smart system according to the classification scheme appropriate for the information database.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a smart information retrieval service is performed in a terminal used by a user. Referring to FIG. 5, in step S10, as described above, a user installs a smart application for use of a smart search service.

When the smart application is installed, in step S20, the information request required by the user is input into a search field of a browser or a explorer linked to the smart application.

In step S30, the query analyzer of the smart application retrieves and outputs information matching the information request from the smart information stored in the information storage area. The search and output at this time are repeatedly performed from the time when the user inputs the information request to the end time.

On the other hand, when the smart application is installed, as in step S15, the above-described query analyzer determines the update of the smart information according to the above-described update conditions.

In step S25, if it is necessary to update smart information, the smart application requests an update to the smart system, and the smart system that receives the update request provides the preliminary smart information to update the smart information of the smart application.

6 is a flowchart showing an example of smart information retrieval after the occurrence of an information request. Referring to FIG. 6, in step S100, a user's information request is input into a search field. When the information request is input, the query analyzer of the smart application determines whether the information request is input into the address bar, the search box, or another search field (S120).

If it is determined that the information request is entered in the address bar, as in steps S120, S130 and S140, it is determined whether the information request entered in the address bar is a wrong URL, a well-known URL, or an address that does not have a Korean-English conversion. In addition, in the case of an incorrect URL according to the determination result, the corrected URL presented by the smart information is output to the user (S121), and a well-known URL is automatically completed and outputted (S131). After presenting an English URL or ending the input, the step of converting the address input in Korean into English is performed (S141).

On the other hand, if the information request is entered in the search box, as in step S125, the information request is incorrectly inputted to determine whether correction is necessary or whether the conversion is required by the US-English conversion. Then, if necessary, in step S135 corrects a typo or switches between Korean and English, and in step S145, the smart information is retrieved and output.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating steps S15 and S25 of FIG. 5 in more detail.

Referring to FIG. 7, as described above, the smart application provides a service to a user through interworking with a browser or a probe. Here, although the smart application may provide information alone, the user's propensity will be described based on searching through a web page.

In operation S210, when the smart application is activated due to the driving of the browser or the explorer, the smart application requests preliminary smart information for updating the smart information from the smart system (S220). Then, the stored smart information is updated using the provided preliminary smart information (S230).

On the other hand, if the browser is already running, the smart application determines whether the 'refresh' command of the current page is input (S215). Or, it is determined whether the user specified or preset update time has been exceeded since the last update (S225). According to the determination result, when the 'refresh' command is input or the update time is exceeded, the smart information is updated through steps S220 and S230. In addition, even when the smart information for the information request input by the user does not exist (S235), the update is performed to provide the user with the latest information possible.

8 is a flowchart showing the progress of the smart search service in each device of the smart search system. Here, although FIG. 8 is generally described about the order of time, it does not necessarily progress in that order. In addition, since it has already been described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7 for clarity, FIG. 8 will be briefly described.

In operation S300, the user requests the installation program to the smart system 130 to drive the smart application, and accordingly, the smart system 130 transmits the installation program to the user terminal. If the installation program is provided in step S320, the smart application (S120) is installed in the user terminal by the user, and the environment setting is made. At this time, when the user drives the browser or the explorer (S330), at the same time the smart application (S120) is activated (S340). Then, the information request is input from the user to the browser or the searcher (S350). Accordingly, the smart application (S120) is to retrieve and output the stored smart information (S360).

On the other hand, the information update server 140 is to continuously search for the generation of new information among the information posted on the web (S400). Then, the preliminary smart information is created by using the retrieved new information (S410), and transferred to the smart system 130 (S420). The smart system 130 provided with the preliminary smart information stores the preliminary smart information in the information database (S430).

When an update request for smart information is generated from the smart application S370 (S370), the stored preliminary smart information is provided to the smart application, that is, the user's terminal, to update the smart information (S380).

At the time of communication between the smart application 120 and the smart system 130, the smart application transmits the information request information input by the user to the information update server 140 through the smart system 130 (S390). The information update server creates a high frequency information request, that is, a list of recommended search words using information request details provided from a plurality of users, and includes the information update list in the preliminary smart information to the smart system 130 (S440).

9A to 9I are exemplary views illustrating an example of actual provision of a smart search service. If the word 'love' is input in the search field as shown in FIG. 9A, the query analyzer lists the smart information corresponding to the word 'love' in the extended area 100a of the search field. In this case, the order of the smart information can be easily checked by the user by outputting a search word having a high frequency of search at the top. In addition, if there is variant information such as an image or music in addition to the text information on the word 'love', It is also possible to make it easy for the user to search by outputting to the area divided into separate sections.

If the word 'exchange rate' is input as shown in FIG. 9B, the exchange rate of each country is provided in the expansion area 100b by the won basis. It is also possible to change the number of dollars or the like, and it is desirable to allow the user to specify the number of countries to be listed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 9C, if a local name of 'Seoul' is input, smart information corresponding to address information may be output in addition to text information related to Seoul. It is also possible to provide predetermined weather information as in FIG. 9C. If a company name is inputted as 'z', as shown in 9d, stock information can be provided to the extended area 100d in addition to the URL.

On the other hand, if the user enters a number and the operator as shown in Figure 9d it is possible to output the calculation result to the extended area (100e) so that the user can check the result without using a separate calculator. In this case, when the user does not want a result and wants a web page having a content related to '5 + 3', another search result may be obtained by using a search command button provided around the search field. When the number is input in this way, the query analyzer provides the calculation result by activating the calculator function of the function information storage area of the information storage area. In particular, in the case of the calculation function and the unit conversion function, complex calculations such as '(,), ^,%' can also be conveniently input, so the user can check the result value conveniently without running a separate calculator.

Meanwhile, when the information request input in English does not refer to an English word as shown in FIG. 9F, the query analyzer converts the information into Korean using error correction information and automatic conversion information. In other words, 'emfladnlwm' is changed to 'Dreamwiz' and 'tkfdk' is changed to 'Love'. In addition, when a user directly inputs an address, the common mistake 'ㅈ' is changed to 'www' and 'ㅗㅅ 세: //' is changed to 'http: //' to minimize user inconvenience.

FIG. 9G is a diagram illustrating a function of preventing progress of an incorrectly input URL and preventing pop-up of an unnecessary site caused by this. In the case of malicious advertisement pages and adult sites, mis-inputs that occur during the address input process of a famous site are anticipated, and they are often led to their own sites. In particular, in this case, a lot of negative effects such as propagation of malicious viruses, personal information leakage, and adolescent unhealthy cultivation are generated. By checking and correcting this through smart information, the user can minimize the occurrence of unnecessary information.

9H illustrates a method of automatically connecting to a corresponding page according to a url address input in Korean. When the user presents the information request 'Dreamwiz' through the search field, the smart application searches for information corresponding to 'Dreamwiz' in the smart information. When the user inputs and selects 'Dreamwiz', the user changes the URL to an internal URL and accesses the 'Dreamwiz' site. In other words, it is possible to easily access the site only by the representative name of the site without having to memorize a complicated URL address.

9i shows environment settings. The smart information selected or preferentially selected in FIGS. 9A to 9H may be adjusted to suit the user's taste through an environment setting as illustrated in FIG. 9I. As shown in the active window of FIG. 9i, the list of recommended words is displayed, the Korean correction entered in the English mode, the URL correction entered in the Korean mode, the wrong URL correction, the use of the Korean Internet address, the exchange rate, the stock quote, the calculator, the weather, and the like.
