The present invention relates to an information retrieval method using RSS, and more particularly, to a valuation based information retrieval method capable of objective valuation of search results.

RSS is abbreviated as 'RDF Site Summary', 'Really Simple Syndication', 'Rich Site Summary' and is updated on websites where content updates occur frequently, such as News or Blog. A data format created based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language) to provide content to users. RSS is currently the most successful XML service and is becoming a community standard for exchanging content (information) through websites (hereinafter referred to as 'content servers').

In order to use the RSS service, a user must install an application called RSS Reader on the computer. Registering the RSS address provided by each content server in the RSS reader automatically downloads the content corresponding to the address and outputs it to the user. One of the advantages of the RSS reader is that it is updated without visiting each content server. It is easy to check the content (information).

For reference, representative websites that distribute the aforementioned RSS readers are 'www.xpyder.co.kr', 'www.bloglines.com' and 'www.sharpreader.net'.

Meanwhile, when a predetermined keyword is searched using an RSS reader, a search request is made to a content server that is pre-registered with the RSS reader. The content server provides a user with a quick and accurate result of the search request. To use a search robot (Search Robot).

However, even if a series of search processes are performed by the search robot, the reliability of the results (provided whether the user wants the search results) is not guaranteed. In addition, when a large number of users request a search at the same time, the corresponding server is overloaded, and as the amount of content accumulated in the server increases, the maintenance cost increases and the time required for searching increases.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, the first object of the present invention, after downloading the RSS data from the content server, the user actually read the evaluation information, for example, the RSS post for the RSS post The present invention provides a method for generating evaluation information (value evaluation information) regarding whether or not a link included in an RSS post is clicked.

In addition, the second object of the present invention is to search for the RSS posts downloaded by other users connected to the P2P network when searching for a predetermined keyword through the RSS reader and displays the results to the user in the form of a list together with the RSS post valuation data. To provide a way to do it.

The valuation based information retrieval method disclosed by the present invention for realizing such a characteristic object includes an application server 100 that provides an RSS reader, and a plurality of user computers 200 that have downloaded and installed the RSS reader. And a plurality of content servers (300) providing RSS related services, wherein (a) the user computer includes first RSS data including a channel data set (10a) and a post data set (10b) from a content server. (10) is received, the lead flag data 16b and the link flag data 17b are added to the post data set to generate and store the second RSS data, and then reconstructed based on the post title data 12b. Displaying a list; (b) the user computer recording information on RSS post evaluation by a user in the read flag data and link flag data; (c) the user computer requesting a search for a predetermined keyword from another user computer linked to a P2P network; And (d) accumulating the lead flag data and the link flag data for each RSS post of the plurality of search data received from the other user computer by the user computer, and displaying the search results reflected as the valuation data in a list. It includes.

Preferably, the other user computer of the step (c) retrieves the RSS post corresponding to the keyword requested from the user computer 200 from the pre-stored RSS post to generate search data based on the post data set 10b. In this case, the search data is generated based on the post data set 10b.

First, the data structure will be described in order to clearly describe the technical idea of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1A, RSS data 10 initially provided from the following content server 300 is configured in an XML format and is divided into a plurality of tags according to an RSS protocol (currently known until RSS version 2.0). It is largely divided into the identified channel data set 10a and the post data set 10b.

The channel data set 10a includes a <title> tag indicating a title of a channel (RSS channel), a <link> tag indicating a channel address (URL address), a <description> tag indicating a brief summary of the channel, and a language used. The <language> tag, and the <pubDate> tag, etc., indicating the creation date and time, etc., the post data set 10b may be included as a sub-element in the channel data set 10a. ) <Title> tag for the title of the title, <description> tag for the summary of the post, <link> tag for the address (URL address) of the post, <pubDate> tag for the creation date and time, and unique per post. It includes an identifier <guid> tag and the like. The post (RSS post) is divided into <item> ... </ item> tags, and the above-described channel data sets 10a (11a to 14a) and post data sets (10b: 11b to 15b) are data-specific blocks. When displayed, it is shown in FIG. 1B. Of course, there are a plurality of data based on the RSS protocol in addition to the data illustrated in the drawings, but only essential data used in the technical idea of the present invention will be illustrated.

Referring to FIG. 2, the valuation-based information retrieval system (hereinafter, 'information retrieval system') includes an application server 100 that provides an RSS reader in association with an information communication network as a whole, and downloads and installs the RSS reader. A user computer 200 and a content server 300 that provides RSS-related services. At this time, it is preferable that the user computer and the content server are plural, and in this embodiment, the application server is set to be individually configured, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may be integrated as part of a function provided by the content server. It may be.

Looking at the RSS reader 210 installed in the user's computer 200 for each main function, the first RSS data (content provided by the content server) from the content server 300, including the normal two-way data communication in accordance with the TCP / IP protocol A communication module 211 for receiving RSS related original data) and performing bidirectional data communication according to P2P protocols with a plurality of computers; After extracting the essential data from the first RSS data for valuation of each RSS post to be described below, the second data including lead flag data 16b (see FIG. 3) and link flag data 17b (see FIG. 3) is included. A second RSS data generation module 212 for generating RSS data; A storage module 213 for storing the generated second RSS data in a storage unit (eg, a hard disk or a memory) of the user computer; An output module 214 for reconfiguring a plurality of RSS posts included in the second RSS data into a list form based on the above-described post title data 12b and displaying the same on an output unit (eg, a monitor) of a user computer; If the user reads the summary by clicking on a specific title in the reconstructed list, it is recorded in the lead flag data 16b, and when the user clicks a link in the RSS post (where the link click indicates that the user has Means that the original text of the content server is read, not the summary text), and the valuation recording module 215 records whether or not it is in the link flag data 17b; When a search request for a keyword is received from another user's computer, the RSS post including the post title data 12b and the post summary data 13b corresponding to the keyword is found among the plurality of pre-stored second RSS data. A search data generation module 216 for generating search data (described in detail below); And a control module 217 for controlling the modules (211 ~ 216); It consists of.

Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the second RSS data includes the aforementioned RSS data (see FIG. 1B) structure, wherein the post data set 10b includes read flag data 16b and link flag data 17b. It further includes. These two additional data serve as a valuation for whether the user has read the summary of the RSS post or the corresponding text of the linked RSS post.

The RSS reader 210 including the above-described modules 211 to 217 is an RSS provided by ordinary RSS readers (eg, 'Yeonmo-yeonmo.theple.com', 'xpyder-www.xpyder.co.kr'). It provides basic functions such as channel registration (channel address registration) and management, as well as features such as valuation by RSS post and keyword search based on P2P. The RSS reader 210 is installed (installed) in the user computer 200 and functions as a medium through the computer. Hereinafter, the overall information retrieval process will be described by setting the user computer 200 as a subject.

For reference, P2P means 'Peer to Peer Network', that is, peer-to-peer communication network. More specifically, P2P breaks away from the traditional concept of server and client, or the classical concept of dividing into provider and customer, and shares information among user computers, that is, connects to a network. Each user's computer is a supplier and a consumer.

Referring to FIG. 4, the user computer 200 receives first RSS data from the content server 300 (S101). Of course, in order to receive the first RSS data, a series of processes of registering the channel address with the RSS reader 210 must be preceded. This process is similar or identical to the aforementioned conventional RSS reader, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Subsequently, the user computer 200 generates and stores second RSS data based on the first RSS data (S103). In storage, the above-described read flag data 16b and link flag data 17b are added to the post data set 10b, and initial values of the flag data 16b and 17b are set to '0'.

Thereafter, the user computer 200 outputs the RSS posts included in the second RSS data to the user as a list, and outputs a list reconstructed in a list format based on the post title data 12b (S105). The list of step S105 is displayed as a title list T at a glance, as illustrated in FIG. In this case, not only the title but also the creation date and time of each RSS post, as shown in FIG.

Next, the user computer 200 waits for the user's evaluation of each RSS post (S107). If the user selects (clicks) any one item of the title list (T) (S109), the user's computer 200 displays a summary (post summary data) and an RSS post link address (post link) of the RSS post of the item. Data) and the lead flag data 16b of the corresponding RSS post is recorded as '1' (S111).

On the other hand, if the user clicks on the RSS post link address after step S111 (S113), the user computer 200 downloads the corresponding content from the content server 300 of the link address and displays the corresponding content of the RSS post. The link flag data 17b is recorded as '1' (S115). '1' here means that the user has read the summary. The user computer 200 repeatedly performs the above-described steps S107 to S115 during the evaluation of the user (S117).

Through the above-described steps, a value evaluation (read summary or not link) criterion is prepared for each RSS post, so that a more reliable search result is provided to the user in the following information retrieval process.

Referring to FIG. 6, the user computer 200 makes a predetermined keyword-based search request to a plurality of other user computers (hereinafter, 'search computers') linked to the P2P network (S201). Here, the search computer receiving the search request has the same RSS reader 210 as the user computer 200.

Next, the retrieval computer retrieves an RSS post corresponding to the requested predetermined keyword (retrieving from a plurality of second RSS data previously stored in the retrieval computer) (S203). If there is a matching RSS post, the search computer generates search data for the corresponding RSS post, which is basically generated based on the above-described post data sets 10b (11b to 17b) (S205).

Subsequently, the user computer 200 receives a plurality of search data from a plurality of search computers (S207). After the step S207, the user computer 200 accumulates the lead flag data 16b and the link flag data 17b for each of the same RSS posts in the received search data (S209) and reflects the accumulated result. The search result of the title list format is displayed to the user (S211).

As shown in FIG. 7, the search result displayed to the user in step S211 is shown along with a title list for each RSS post, 'number of summary readings' (R), and 'number of link clicks' (C). Accordingly, in selecting the RSS post displayed as a search result, the user can refer to valuation data (accumulated lead flag data and accumulated link flag data) by other users.

In other words, when the user computer 200 receives a search request from another user computer, steps S203 and S205 described above are similarly performed in the user computer 200. That is, the user computer 200 performs a series of processes for requesting a search from another user computer or receiving a search request from another user computer.

As described above, a feature of the present invention is that the user computer 200 does not directly request a predetermined keyword-based search to the content server 300, but rather to a plurality of other user computers linked to the user computer 200 through a P2P network. I'm in a search request. Therefore, the traffic of the content server 300 can be significantly reduced by searching for information between user computers using P2P, and the user can select a more reliable RSS post through the search results based on the valuation data.

As described above and described with reference to a preferred embodiment for illustrating the technical idea of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the configuration and operation as shown and described as described above, it is a deviation from the scope of the technical idea It will be understood by those skilled in the art that many modifications and variations can be made to the invention without departing from the scope of the invention. Accordingly, all such suitable changes and modifications and equivalents should be considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
