BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. The present invention may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and the same reference numerals are used for the same or similar components throughout the specification. In the case of publicly known technologies, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a block diagram showing a communication network including a system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The search server 1 and the user terminal 3 are connected via the communication network 2 and transmit and receive data with each other. The communication network 2 may include any type of communication network for transmitting data, such as a wired communication network, a short-range or long-range wireless communication network, or a mixed network thereof. A user terminal is a generic term for a terminal having a computational processing capability by having a memory means and a processor. For example, a personal computer, a handheld computer, a personal digital assistant, a mobile phone, a smart phone. Phone, etc.

The search server 1 may include a search system 10, and may further include a search module (not shown), a search information database (not shown), and the like that perform an actual search. In this case, the module is stored in the memory of the computer and is arithmetic, processed, etc. by the processor of the computer, and means a logical part of a program that performs a specific function in the computer. The search server 1 provides a search service to the user terminal 3 via the communication network 2. One or more user terminals 3 connected to the communication network 2 and simultaneously receiving a search service from the search server 1 may be provided.

The search server 1 may transmit a search client (not shown) necessary for performing a search to the user terminal 3, and the search client 30 may be installed in the user terminal 3. In this specification, a search client means a search program executed in the user terminal 3. When the user terminal 3 connects to the search server 1 to perform a search, the user performs a search through the user terminal 3.

The retrieval system 10 may include means for performing functions such as input, search, output, and the like, and each function may be performed by a memory means, a normal arithmetic processing of a processor, or the like.

FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating a cubic for displaying an initial search result according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2B is a view illustrating an operation method of searching within a result according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure which shows.

When the search system 10 receives the search request, the search engine is operated, and the search results with high priority are displayed on one side of the cubic 100 by the display means.

For example, the search request may be generated by an external input means such as a drag or click of a mouse, a key input such as a direction key or a character key of a keyboard, a hand touch or a pen touch on a touch screen, and the like. The search engine may be operated by dragging, direction keys, a specific key, or a touch instead of a click or an enter of a search button on a screen, thereby improving the convenience of the search. Alternatively, the search engine may be operated by inputting a search word in the search box.

For example, referring to FIG. 8, when the search system 10 receives a search request, a user double-clicks a keyword of one or more keywords entered into his or her personal information with a mouse, or a keyword. There is a way to drag and drop to the cubic. Referring to FIG. 4, if there are no keywords previously input by the user, the search engine may be operated by the user's login itself, or the search engine may be operated by a separate search request such as a button click after login. In this case, the search engine may be operated by the user's previously input preferences. The search engine can be operated by changing the search condition by the user, for example, by changing the search priority such as prioritizing age proximity, prioritizing geographical accessibility or prioritizing leisure activity similarity in gender matching search. The search engine can be activated.

A search engine may search a database based on a search condition such as a condition set by a user, a condition specific to the search engine, and generate a search result list according to priority. While the search engine is running, the cubic 100 can rotate in various directions.

One or more search results having a high priority among the generated lists may be output on the screen of the cubic 100. For example, information about one person or information about one item may be output on the screen of the cubic 100. When the cubic 100 rotates when the search engine is operated, a search result may be output on one side of the cubic 100 after the rotation of the cubic 100 is stopped. Accordingly, the gaze concentration of the user may be improved. Unlike the conventional method of displaying search results in which the search results are displayed on the screen in a list form, displaying the high priority search results with the minimum can increase the success rate of matching and the user's transaction success through the search. Experience can be increased. When the search result is information about the person, the individual may receive a spotlight on one side of the cubic 100, and the user or the individual may participate in the service.

The search results are not limited to those displayed on the cubic 100 and may be displayed on any type of figure. For example, the figure may be a solid such as a tetrahedron, an octahedron, a dodecahedron, a polyhedron such as a cuboid, a solid such as a sphere, or a plane such as a polygon such as a square, a polygon such as a square or a triangle, or a circle. As the search results are displayed in the figure, the fun of using the search service can be doubled, the gameability of the search can be increased, and the re-visit rate of the user can be increased. In addition, the shadow display at the bottom of the figure may be omitted.

When an input is generated in a specific direction by the user, the search engine is further operated, and the additional search results can be displayed on one side of the cubic 100 by the display means. As a result, the accuracy of the search results can be increased, and the figure can be freely manipulated as if the user explores additional search results directly, and the fun of using the search service can be doubled. This can be increased, and the re-visit rate of the user can be increased.

For example, referring to FIG. 2B, the input in the up, down, left, and right directions a, b, c, and d may be generated through input means such as dragging, direction key or specific key input, and touch. In addition to the up, down, left, and right directions a, b, c, and d, the cubic 100 may be an edge direction. In addition, the input may be generated in various directions. In addition, the number of input directions is not limited to four, but may be one or more. For example, only one direction input may be generated, only two direction inputs may be generated, and five direction inputs may be generated. Arrows indicating up, down, left, and right directions a, b, c, and d may be displayed in various forms.

In each direction, search conditions for further searching are set in advance. For example, various kinds of search conditions, such as age, gender, priority, and price, may be set in each direction.

The search engine may search the database based on a search condition corresponding to the direction input by the user and generate an additional search result list according to the priority. One or more search results having a high priority among the generated lists may be output on the screen of the cubic 100. While the search engine is further operated, the cubic 100 may rotate in various directions, and after the rotation stops, additional search results may be output on one side of the cubic 100.

The additional search result is not limited to that displayed on the cubic 100, and may be displayed on any type of figure as described above.

Additional search requests in a particular direction may occur one or more times. For example, after the search result by the upward direction input is displayed on one side of the cubic 100, the search result by the right direction input may be displayed on one side of the cubic 100, and again by the right direction input. The search results may be displayed on one side of the cubic 100.

The display means of the search system 10 may display at least one of a current search result, a past search result, or a search result in which a favorite is set.

For example, FIG. 2C is an exemplary view showing a cubic and a search map displaying an initial search result according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2D is a manipulation manner of searching within a result according to an embodiment of the present invention. And a search map exemplarily, and FIG. 2E is a diagram exemplarily showing a search map in which a favorite result is stored, according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2C, a search result may be displayed on the cubic 100 by a user's login or a separate search request after login, and a search map may be displayed next to the cubic 100. The search map can show which part of the database the user is currently searching for, thereby increasing the gameplay of the search exploration. The shape and position of the search map may be changed in various ways, and the grid may be omitted. Point P indicates the point at which the current search has occurred, and may be displayed as another figure instead of a point.

Referring to FIG. 2D, when a current search result occurs at point P, coordinates in the search map may also be moved in correspondence to directions (a, b, c, d) in which the user rotates the cubic 10. The interval at which point P moves may vary depending on the size and conditions of the database.

Referring to FIG. 2E, when a favorite is set among the search results, the search result in which the favorite is set may be displayed as a point F on the search map. When the point F is clicked, a search result corresponding to the point F may be displayed in the cubic 100. The point F may be displayed in a shape or color distinguished from the point P, and may be displayed in another shape instead of the point. Alternatively, as all search results are displayed on the search map, the search result set as a favorite may be displayed separately from the search result not set as a favorite.

3 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating a process of displaying an advertisement according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The advertisement may be output to the cubic 100 before the additional search results are output to the cubic 100, thereby increasing the profit by linking the high concentration to the advertisement. The advertisement may be output to the cubic 100 before outputting the first search result to the cubic 100.
