For example, a keyword (k) of interest may be displayed at the top of the screen, such as a notification window that appears when the top of the screen is dragged down from the Android operating system.

If the user terminal 100 includes different first user terminals 100 and second user terminals 100 for the same user, steps S12, S13, and S14 may be performed by the first user terminal 100 ) And the second user terminal 100, respectively.

That is, any one of the first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 100 can request a keyword of interest, and the first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 100 It is possible to receive the keyword of interest and display the keyword of interest at the terminal of either the first user terminal 100 or the second user terminal 100. [

However, the extracted interest keywords are extracted by the information collected from both the first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 100. [

As shown in FIG. 6, in the method of providing interest keywords according to an embodiment of the present invention, the keyword server 200 can collect user input string information and usage pattern information by communicating with a keyword application of interest (S21). At this time, the keyword server 200 can receive and manage the personal information of the user and the usage pattern information of the user terminal 100 (or the usage history information as a basis thereof) from the user terminal 100 for each user account .

Then, the keyword server 200 analyzes the user's taste or interest based on at least one of personal information of each user, user input string information, and usage pattern information, and extracts a user's interest field accordingly.

For this, the keyword server 200 may accumulate and store the selected character string and usage pattern information from the user received within at least a predetermined time from the current time.

If the user terminal 100 includes different first user terminals 100 and second user terminals 100 for the same user, the first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 100, And may collect the string or usage pattern information inputted or selected by the user of the terminal 100.

At this time, the keyword server 200 can confirm whether the user of the first user terminal 100 and the user of the second user terminal 100 are the same user. The method may be a method of recognizing the same keyword user application installed in each user terminal 100 as the same user when the same user account is logged in. Alternatively, after transmitting the identification key to each user terminal 100 logged in with the same user account and storing the identification key, the user terminal 100 storing the corresponding identification key even after being logged out may use the same or corresponding user terminal 100 .

After receiving the keyword request from the user of the user terminal 100 (S22), the keyword server 200 may extract the keyword of interest based on the information collected in the step S21 (S23).

The extracted interest keyword may be an interest keyword including two or more keywords corresponding to user input string information and usage pattern information.

The keyword server 200 may extract the keyword of interest based on the user input string information and extract the keyword of interest from the first extracted interest keywords based on the usage pattern information. In addition, the keyword server 200 may extract the keyword of interest complementarily based on the event information registered in the calendar of the user terminal 100 included in the current date information, the current weather information, and the user pattern information.

Meanwhile, when a plurality of interest keywords having the same category are extracted, the keyword server 200 may determine priorities of the keywords of interest in advance and extract the interest keywords according to the ranking, or may randomize some of the keywords of interest in the same category Can be extracted.

If the keyword of interest is extracted in step S23, the keyword server 200 may provide the extracted keyword of interest to the user terminal 100 (S24).

If the user terminal 100 includes different first user terminals 100 and second user terminals 100 for the same user, steps S21, S22, and S24 may be performed by the first user terminal 100 ) And the second user terminal 100, respectively.

4 to 6 may be implemented in the form of a recording medium including instructions executable by a computer such as a program module executed by a computer. Computer readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by a computer and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. In addition, the computer-readable medium can include both computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes both volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Communication media typically includes any information delivery media, including computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave, or other transport mechanism.
