Search Server Configuration and Features

2 is a block diagram of a search server according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the configuration and function of the search server 120 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the search server 120 according to the present invention may include a search service processor 200, a branch information extractor 202, a map service processor 204, and a branch information collector 206. Can be.

First, the branch information collecting unit 206 according to the present invention collects branch information by accessing a representative site service server 130 of an institution / company which is set to provide branch information in real time or periodically, and collects the branch information. The information is stored or updated in the point information database 122. More preferably, the branch information collecting unit 206 according to the present invention may be implemented as a web-bot, scraping the branch information providing page of the set representative site, and parsing the scraped branch information providing page. It can be configured to extract the point information. The point information collected / stored by the point information collecting unit 206 as described above may include information such as the name of the point, the location information of the point, the phone number information of the point, the business hours information of the point, and the like.

The search service processor 200 according to the present invention receives a search request transmitted from the user terminal 100, extracts one or more search keywords by stemming a search word included in the search request, and applies the extracted one or more search keywords to the extracted one or more search keywords. It extracts the matching search results to generate a search result page, and transmits the generated search result page to the user terminal 100. In addition, the search service processor 200 according to the present invention compares one or more search keywords extracted from the morphological analysis with the set point information providing target keywords, and the extracted one or more search keywords correspond to the set point information providing target keywords or If included, it may be configured to control the point information extraction unit 202 to output the point information as a search result. For example, when the 'Kookmin Bank' as described above is set as a branch information target institution, the keyword for providing branch information may be set to 'Kookmin Bank', 'KB Kookmin Bank', 'KB Bank', and the like. .

The branch information extracting unit 202 according to the present invention includes a branch included in the search request when the search request received from the user terminal 100 includes the branch information target keyword under the control of the search service processing unit 200. One or more point information matching the information target keyword is extracted from the point information database 122. At this time, according to the configuration of the embodiment, all the point information matching the point information target keyword included in the search request stored in the point information database 122 may be extracted, or the search stored in the point information database 122. It may be configured to extract only a part of the point information matching the filtering criteria of all the point information matching the point information target keyword included in the request. For example, using the access information (IP information, etc.) of the user terminal 100 to obtain the rough information (for example, country information, region information, etc.) about the access area, and located within the country / region It may be configured to extract only the point information. In this case, filtering and extracting the point information based on the filtering criteria is different from the selection process of the point information described later in that a separate complicated operation (for example, distance calculation) is not required. Therefore, various filtering criteria that do not require a separate complicated operation for filtering point information may be appropriately set as necessary.

In addition, the point information extractor 202 according to the present invention may select one or more point information that meets a predetermined selection criteria among the extracted point information. For illustrative purposes, the point information extractor 202 according to the present invention may use the distance between the user terminal 100 and the point based on the location information or the distance between the specific location and the point designated by the user as preset selection criteria. have. However, the selection criteria according to the present invention are not limited to the distance based on the location information, and various selection criteria that can meet the needs of the user and can be used as the branch information selection criteria on the search server 120 are required. It may be set appropriately.

The point information extracting unit 202 calculates a distance between location information (eg, address of a point) of a point included in each extracted point information and a specific position, and the calculated distance among the point information is set in advance. It may be configured to select the point information that is within the distance. In this case, the location information for the specific location may be obtained by one of the following methods. First, if the user terminal 100 according to the present invention has a GPS function to obtain the location information of the current user terminal 100, and the user does not select a specific specific location, the point information according to the present invention The extraction unit 202 requests the location information of the current user terminal 100 to the user terminal 100, receives the location information transmitted from the user terminal 100, and retrieves the location information of the specific location as described above. It can be used as. That is, in this case, the specific location described above becomes the current location of the user terminal 100. Alternatively, regardless of the GPS function of the user terminal 100, location information (address, building name, area name, etc.) for a specific location may be accompanied by a search request or a search request from the user terminal 100 according to a user's operation. If it is transmitted later, the point information extraction unit 202 receives the location information (eg, Gangnam Station Kyobo Building) for the specific location transmitted from the user terminal 100, and the location for the specific location as described above It can be used as information. Alternatively, when the search request transmitted from the user terminal 100 includes predetermined geographic information, regardless of the GPS function of the user terminal 100 (for example, the search request is called 'Kangnam Station Kookmin Bank'). In the case of including a search term), location information corresponding to the geographic information included in the search request may be used as the location information of the specific location as described above. Alternatively, in one embodiment, the search request may include a representative name (point information providing target keyword) and information on a specific point, in which case, the point information extracting unit 202 according to the present invention is a search request. The location information of the point included in the point information database 122 may be extracted, and the location information of the corresponding point may be used as a reference point to select point information corresponding to a setting among the plurality of point information. For example, when the search request transmitted from the user terminal 100 includes the search terms 'Kookmin Bank' and 'sperm point', the branch information extracting unit 202 may store the sperm of Kookmin Bank from the branch information database 122. The location information of the point can be extracted and set as a reference point for distance calculation. In this case, the branch information extracting unit 202 according to the present invention calculates the distance between the Kookmin Bank sperm point and the other point, and based on the calculated distance, the point information extracting unit 202 obtains a predetermined number of point information in the order of closest to Can be configured to extract. As described above, a method of obtaining location information of a specific location for calculating a distance from each point may be used in combination of one or more methods. For example, in an embodiment, when a user does not specify a specific specific location in the process of providing a search service, the current location of the user terminal 100 becomes a reference point for calculating a distance from each point, and the search service When the user designates a specific specific location in the providing process, the specific location designated by the user may be configured to be a reference point for calculating a distance from each point. Meanwhile, in another embodiment, specific geographic information included in a specific location or search request designated by a user is primarily used as a reference point, but specific geographic information included in a specific location or search request specified by the user is included in the distance calculation. In the case of comprehensive location or geographical information that cannot be converted as necessary coordinates, the location information of the current user terminal 100 may be used as a reference point. For example, if the specific location specified by the user or the specific geographic information included in the search request is 'Gangnam', it is unclear which location is determined as the reference point for distance calculation within the geographical range of 'Gangnam'. If the user terminal 100 is currently within a geographical range of 'Gangnam' by acquiring the location information of the terminal 100, the current location of the user terminal 100 may be set as a reference point for distance calculation. In this case, however, in this case, when the user terminal 100 is not currently within the geographical range of 'Gangnam' by acquiring the location information of the user terminal 100, the center point of the corresponding geographical range may be set as a reference point for distance calculation. . Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation and understanding, the user terminal 100 has a GPS function to provide coordinate information of the current location of the user terminal 100 to the search server 120, and the search server 120 provides the user terminal. Although described with reference to an embodiment configured to calculate a distance from each point by using the current position of 100 as a reference point, the various positions as described above may be used as a reference point for distance calculation according to the present invention. Notwithstanding such modifications / changes, the scope of the present invention falls within the scope of the present invention.

The point information extracting unit 202 converts the position information (address information) of each point included in the extracted point information into longitude and latitude coordinate information (in accordance with the embodiment, the address information included in the point information is the longitude coordinates). Information may be included in the point information and stored in the point information database 122), and the latitude and longitude coordinate information of the current position of the user terminal 100 may be used to determine the distance between the user terminal 100 and the extracted points. Calculate the distance. In this case, the distance between the user terminal 100 and the points calculated by the point information extracting unit 202 may be simply a straight path distance using longitude and latitude coordinates, or may be a moving path distance to which an actual user should move. When the point information extractor 202 is configured to calculate a distance between the user terminal 100 and each point as a movement path distance that the user should move, the point information extractor 202 is a map service that provides a route guidance service. It may be linked with the processing unit 204. The map service processor 204 according to the present invention is a component that provides geographic information-related services such as an electronic map service and a route guidance service to the user terminal 100, and is included in the search server 120 in FIG. 2. Although shown, it may be configured as a separate geographic service server. Since the configuration and function itself of the map service processor 204 adopts a known technology, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In one embodiment, after calculating the distance between the user terminal 100 and each point, the point information extractor 202 selects the point information of the point that the calculated distance is within a predetermined reference distance to search for point information Output as a result. For example, when the set reference distance is 5Km, the point information extractor 202 may be configured to output one or more point information about a point within which the calculated distance is within 5Km as a point information search result. More preferably, the reference distance as described above may be set differently for each industry, company, institution. For example, in the case of businesses, businesses, and institutions that require a lot of in-person visits, the distance that can be easily visited by the user may be set as a reference distance. For many industries, companies and institutions, the distance at which orders can be delivered may be set as the reference distance. Also, more preferably, the reference distance as described above may be dynamically set according to the current position of the user terminal 100. For example, if the user terminal 100 is located in an area where a plurality of points close to each other, such as Gangnam, Seoul, exist, a relatively small reference distance (for example, 2 km) is set, while a point such as a province is located. When the user terminal 100 is located in an area where the distance between them is far away, a relatively large distance (for example, 10 km) may be set as a reference distance.

Meanwhile, in another embodiment, after calculating the distance between the user terminal 100 and each point, the point information extractor 202 sorts the point information in ascending order based on the calculated distance, and sorts the point information. Among them, it may be configured to output a predetermined number of point information as a point information search result in order of being close to the current position of the user terminal 100. For example, three points of information are set to be output, the distance between the point A and the user terminal 100 is 500m, the distance between the point B and the user terminal 100 is 1500m, the point C and the user terminal 100. The distance information is 700m, the distance between the point D and the user terminal 100 is 2000m, the distance between the point E and the user terminal 100 is 1200m, the distance between the point F and the user terminal 100 is 400m, the point information extraction unit 202 may be configured to select point information for point F, point information for point A, and point information for point C, and output this as a point information search result.

Meanwhile, in another embodiment, the point information extractor 202 selects point information of a point whose calculated distance is within a predetermined reference distance and outputs the point information as a result of the point information search, but outputs the point information that is output as the search result. When the number exceeds a preset number, the number of point information may be selected as a result of the point information search by selecting a preset number of point information from the point information of the point within the reference distance in a close order to the user terminal 100. .

On the other hand, in another embodiment, the point information extractor 202 according to the present invention may be configured to store the preferred point information for the preferred point of the specific user, and select the point information based on this. The preference point information may be generated / stored in various ways. For example, a user may register / store a specific point as a preferred point in the search server 120 using the user terminal 100 or the like, or the search server 120 may display a search result page including the point information. When provided to the user terminal 100, the user using the point information of any one of the plurality of point information output on the user terminal 100, a predetermined action (for example, confirming the detailed information about the point, When the telephone call to the branch, the branch information is selected to transmit the branch information as a text, a reservation for the branch, an order for the branch, etc.), the search server 120 provides information on the action. After storing in association with the identification information of the user (or user terminal 100), if the number of actions performed by the user for a specific point is more than a preset number, the corresponding point is designated as the user's favorite point.
