More specifically, the degree of association between the tag data corresponding to a keyword that classifies the information to be provided to the user and the tag data A retrieval system that stores the information as a cube structure that is displayed and recognizes the information content as the location of the individual information in advance from the location distribution of the entire information retrieved by the user by selecting and combining tags, and selects specific information to inquire the content of the information; It is about a search method.

In the Internet search, a user inputs a search word and is provided with a search result page in which various pieces of information are listed by item, selects specific information, and searches detailed information. Here, the search result page categorizes and provides a lot of information corresponding to the search word input by the user.

For example, at the top of the search results page, search categories are listed in tabular format. When a specific category is selected, the information in the category is arranged vertically by section. Here, the selection of a category is to select a large category of information retrieval and the selection of a section is to select a small category. The above is an example of search classification of binary hierarchical structure, and the classification of information as a hierarchical directory structure can be detailed into major classification, middle classification, and small classification.

In the lowest classification in the above information retrieval, the information of the relevant fields are listed, and the searcher has to search the contents again with the information listed as the final search result to find the desired information. When listing the final search results, the document title, along with an important part of the sentence containing the search term, are presented. Then, the user searches for an important part of the sentence with respect to each piece of information presented as a result of the search and clicks on the full sentence of the sentence when it is determined that the information is desired. In other words, the user can narrow down the search target by selecting a search category after inputting a search word, but at the final stage, the user has to review all the search result information one by one.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and when the search information is constructed in association with at least one tag data representing the search information and the tag data, and the user selects the tag data in the search cube interface, Provides a search service that displays information distributed in a location corresponding to an association between tags, and selects and inquires information after recognizing the information content in advance by a tag association identified from a specific location.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings looks at in detail the configuration of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

<1. System Configuration>

1 shows a schematic configuration of a retrieval system 1 using tag data and cube structure of information according to the present invention.

The retrieval system 1 according to the present invention stores the cube structure input by the user through the user terminal 2 and the homepage 30 where the user inputs cube structure data (cube structure) and retrieves information, and retrieves the information. It is configured to include a cube search server (3) for providing a cube structure search results to the user.

In the present invention, each individual search information provided to the user has unique cube structure data. The cube structure includes: a) at least one tag associated with the search information; b) an association established between any two tags; and c) an association measure indicating the degree of association for individual tags or tags for which an association is established. do.

The tag in the present invention means a representative word, a keyword, or an index indicating search information. Tags are not limited to nouns, and there are no restrictions on their parts of speech, such as adjectives and adverbs. Accordingly, the user may freely set a tag corresponding to his or her feelings or emotions. In addition, since the tag is data that is intuitively associated with the search information, the tag may not be included in the data of the information.

The cube structure in the present invention is information defining what association and how much the tag representing information is related. Accordingly, in the present invention, the user selects a tag to request a search and displays structure data with respect to the information retrieved as a search result. When the user receives the structure data as a search result, the user can determine what information is related to the user's tag and to what extent, so that the user can guess the content.

The cube search server 3 according to the present invention receives the connection of the user terminal 2 through the homepage 30. The homepage 30 provides input pages to users to receive and store cube structure data for specific information.

As an example of a cube structure, for a search information of the JPO homepage link address "www.kipo.go.kr", "patent", "practical", "chairman", "trademark", "registration", Register "deny" as a tag. And 40 points are assigned to the "patent" in the score of +50 ~ -50 (which is an arbitrary value set for convenience of explanation). This refers to a 90% association in the subject of "patent". In addition, setting "registration" and "rejection" as an opposition and assigning 40 points means that there is a 90% association with "registration" and a relative "rejection" association is 10%.

In the present invention, the user is a subject defining a cube structure with respect to the search information and a subject searching information using the tags of the cube structure. When a user searches for information, a user may input a search term and then select and search a specific tag among tags corresponding to the search term. Alternatively, the user may select and search a specific tag among arbitrary tags without inputting a search term. If the user searches only by selecting a tag without inputting a search word, the tags selected by the user become main keywords and related information is searched. Thus, the search results in the present invention are retrieved regardless of the information format of the blog, news, web site, knowledge, etc. information related to the tags. This provides a variety of information that matches the subject of the tag the user is looking for.

The homepage 3 provides a search cube interface to the user terminal 2 using a search service. The search cube interface displays a) a distribution cube and b) a tag selection window indicating the location of the semantic distribution of the search information. The distribution cube is displayed as a two-dimensional or three-dimensional solid figure, and at least one tag selection window is displayed on each side. Therefore, whenever a user selects an arbitrary tag in the tag selection window, the location point of the information is displayed in the distribution cube according to the degree of association with the tag. The color may be displayed differently according to the number of information displayed at the corresponding position. In addition, when the user selects any one tag in any tag selection window, other tag selection windows that the user does not select are filled in with the tags that are related to the currently selected tags, so that the user can select a related tag. Make sure

For example, when the user selects "patent" in a specific tag selection window, a cube structure in which an association value is set for the tag "patent" is searched to determine the location of the corresponding information and to the corresponding color according to the searched information amount. Mark on the distribution cube. At the same time, the unselected tag selection window is filled with tags such as "application", "judging", "registration", "rejection", and "judgment" related to the "patent" tag in real time, so that the user can select and search similar related fields. Allows you to narrow the subject. When the tag selection is completed, the location of various information related to the currently selected tag is displayed.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a first search result for searching structure data according to a user's search request and displaying the information at a corresponding position on a distribution cube whose position coordinates are determined by the semantic correlation of the search information. Selecting a specific location on the distribution cube provides a second search result with a search results page consisting of a list of corresponding information. Here, the selection of a specific position is a user selecting a specific position with a mouse click or selecting a specific position range by drag and drop. If there is one piece of information corresponding to a specific location on the distribution cube corresponding to the primary search result, it is of course directly linked to the document page of the information according to the user's location selection. This secondary search result page is a web page composed of a list of search result items provided after a user enters a search word in a known search mechanism, and includes a document title and a part of a document of each item. Selecting a specific location on the secondary search results page provides a web page of that information. Therefore, the user can search for desired information after grasping in advance how relevant information of the individual information is related to the searched information using the tag selected by the user through a distribution cube. That is, the searched information forms a map on the distribution cube according to the association with the tag, so that the user can recognize the contents of the individual document in advance through the location.

2 schematically shows an internal configuration of a cube search server 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Cube search server 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a cube data receiving means 31 for receiving structure data corresponding to the specific information input by the user, cube structure storage means 32 for storing the received structure data ), A search cube providing means 33 for providing a search cube interface to a search user, a search request receiving means 34 for receiving a search request together with tag information selected by the user, and a cube structure including tag information selected by the user. Cube structure search means 35 for searching, search information position determining means 36 for determining the position on the distributed cube with respect to the retrieved cube structure, and a search result cube for displaying the information position at the determined position to provide the primary search result. Providing means 37.

Meanwhile, the service provider of the present invention may provide various service policies when registering a cube structure from a user. For example, the first user to enter structure data for a particular piece of information is called the cube owner. The user who registers afterwards may register a different association value based on the data set by the cube owner or become a new cube owner by setting new tags and association information. Here, the structure data input by selecting an existing cube owner with respect to the same information may be averaged in real time or periodically and evaluated as one single structure data. Of course, various arithmetic formulas can be applied to the averaging process.

Detailed processing and functions of the above-described components 31 to 37 will be described through the method configuration described below.

<2. How to Configure>

The retrieval method using the tag data of the information and the cube structure according to an embodiment of the present invention can be preferably realized through the construction of the system 1 described above.

Hereinafter, a search method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 11 based on the components 31 to 37 of the cube search server 3 illustrated in FIG. 2.

Referring to FIG. 3, the user accesses the homepage 30 of the cube search server 3 using the user terminal 3. In accordance with the business policy of the service provider, the cube search server 3 may request an access user to join. In addition, of course, it can be provided as a paid or free service.

A user who accesses the home page 30 may select structure data input or information search. Assuming that the user inputs the structure data, the cube data receiving means 31 provides the input page to the user and receives the cube structure data including information on the association of the tags with respect to the specific search information (S31).

4 to 6, the input page as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 2, and the user inputs “Seo Taiji” as the cube name corresponding to the information. And input at least one tag 301 representing information. Here, the "depression" which is the individual tag 301 sets the depression degree numerically by the sliding button 302. As shown in FIG. The tags 301 "female" and "male", "adult" and "child" each set an opposing relationship and set the association value with the sliding button 303. FIG. In addition, the tags 301 "Rain" and "Park Jin-young", "Dong Bang Shin Ki", "Park Jin-young", "Park Jin-young" and "Yang Hyun-seok" are set in a dependent relationship. In FIG. 4, the tag 301 is input into the box in the form of a circle, but is not limited thereto. For example, it is also possible to provide the input page as shown in FIG. 7 so that the user can select a tag in the tag selection window 305 and select an arbitrary position on the distribution cube 304 to input cube structure data.

Referring to FIG. 5, when the tag 301 is no longer set by inputting the tag 301 along the circumference, an outer circumference is generated so that the user may additionally input the tag 301. 6 illustrates a data structure in which a user inputs structure data as a hierarchical category structure. A data is a user first inputting structure data for specific information belonging to the category of "music" and "new generation music" as a cube owner. The B data and the C data are data that different users set different connection relations and connection values based on tag information set in the A data of the cube owner.

3, the cube structure storage unit 32 receives structure data input by the user and stores the structure data in a DB (S32).

On the other hand, assuming that the user attempts to search, the search cube providing means 33 is a search cube interface (FIG. 7) displaying a distribution cube 304 and a tag selection window 305 for displaying a distribution position of search information to the search user. ~ Refer to Figure 11) (S33).

Referring to FIG. 7, a distribution cube 304 of a two-dimensional rectangular figure is illustrated, but is not limited thereto. A three-dimensional cube is also possible, and there is no particular limitation with respect to the shape of the distribution cube 304.

When the user is provided with the search cube interface, the tag selection window 305 selects a specific tag to set the search field and the cube search server 3 receives the information of the selected tag (S341). Each time the cube search server 3 receives the tag selected by the user, the cube search server 3 transmits the tags associated with the selected tag to the tag selection window 305 not yet set by the user and fills it in real time (S342). Accordingly, the user may select a tag related to at least one tag currently selected in the tag selection window 305. That is, each time the user selects a tag, tag candidates related to the previously selected tag are filled in real time dynamically in the unselected tag selection window 305. In addition, whenever the tag selection information set by the user is received in the search cube interface, the search request receiving means 34 receives a search request (S343).

The cube structure retrieval means 35 retrieves the cube structure of the retrieval information including the extracted tag by extracting the selected tag from the tag selection information received so far in real time (S35).

The search information position determining means 36 determines the position in the distribution cube 304 with respect to the retrieved cube structure based on the tag extracted from the tag selection information, the association of the tags, and the degree of association of the associations (S36). Here, the associative value of the structure data plays an important role in determining the position.

When the position is determined, the search result cube providing means 37 displays the search information at the determined position on the distribution cube 304 and transmits the search cube interface to the user terminal 2 as a search result (S37).

Referring to the steps S341 to S37 described above with reference to FIG. 7, the user sets the "new generation music" category and "M" in the tag selection window 305 in which the tag candidates frequently set by the user are filled. Select. Then, the cube structure with the tag " M " At the same time, the unselected tag setting window 305 is filled with tag candidates related to the tag "M". Various methods can be applied to the determination of the tag candidate, and there is no particular limitation. For example, users can refer to the tag ranking most frequently set after selecting a tag 'M'. Subsequently, if the user selects "F", then the opposing tag is selected. At this time, the structure data including both the tags "M" and "F" is searched and the position on the distribution cube 304 is determined by the correlation value set in the confrontation relationship. Information located near the tag “south” indicates information related to the masculine subject, and information located on the side where “female” is set indicates information related to the feminine subject. Similarly, assuming that tag candidates associated with the tags "M" and "F" are newly populated in the unselected tag setting window 305 and the user selects "Adult", "Adult", "F", and "Adult" The location of the information including the tag is displayed on the distribution cube 304 in real time. Then, when the user selects "child" from among the real-time dynamically determined tag candidates, the information is placed at the position on the distribution cube 304 determined according to the association value with respect to "male", "female", "adult" and "child". Is displayed. That is, each time the user sets a tag, the number of information displayed on the distribution cube 304 is reduced, and the user intuitively knows that there is information that matches the tag main word according to the location. This means that whenever the user selects a tag one by one, the amount and content of the retrieved information is recognized in real time.

As various examples that can be implemented by a service provider using the present invention, FIG. 8 illustrates a search cube interface screen in which a user searches only by structure data of a cube owner. FIG. 9 illustrates a search cube interface screen for searching for a tag set by a user as an average value of correlations among various users. When there is a plurality of pieces of information in a specific position on the distribution cube 304, it is also possible to express the number of information by different colors. Because of the different colors, users can see the color to see how clustered the information is. 10 and 11 illustrate search cube interface screens searched in a tree structure of tags set in a dependency relationship. A tag belonging to a parent contains a tag belonging to a child. In the above example, a search example in which the user selects a tag by setting a category is illustrated. However, the user may input a search word and select a tag from tag candidates related to the search word. It is also possible for a user to select and search a tag directly from any tag candidates on a distribution cube without selecting a category.

The user provided with the search result of the structure data selects the position of the specific information displayed on the distribution cube 304 to view the actual content of the information. If there is only one information in the location, the document page of the information is provided. If there is a plurality of information, the search result web page is listed, and the user is provided with individual information. If selected, the document page of the information is provided (S38).

As described above, an embodiment of a retrieval system and retrieval method using the tag data and cube structure of information according to the present invention is constructed. Although the present invention has been described by way of limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the technical spirit of the present invention and the claims to be described below by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains.
