Hereinafter, a search result display method of a web search site of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The method of the present invention is for the convenience of the user at the time of web search. Since the connection with other web servers or web pages is performed in advance in a web server that is much faster than the general user, the result is quickly transmitted to the user's PC. To provide accurate information.

First, the connection state between the Internet communication network and the user PC in which the method of the present invention is performed will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The Internet communication network 60 is connected to a plurality of user PCs (20, 30, 40, ...) and a plurality of web servers (10, 50, ...), and transmits and receives information accurately using an IP address . It is mainly used for the Internet, and the tool is a web browser such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. It can freely express video, image, text, and voice data.

The user PCs 20, 30 and 40 are mainly connected to the Internet communication network 60 by using a modem or an ISDN modem, and the web books 10 and 50 are connected by a high speed communication line such as a dedicated line. An internet search service and the like are also performed by the web server 10. That is, the user PC 20 connects to the web server 10 (set as a server providing a search service for convenience of description) through a communication means, and inputs a specific keyword into a search keyword input box as shown in FIG. do. When the search start command (GO) is clicked, the web server 10 searches for a web page suitable for the content of the keyword and outputs the URL of the result to the user's PC. However, the conventional output is inconvenient because it outputs only the URL of the site as shown in FIG.

According to the present invention, when a search result is output, the output result is not transmitted to a user PC as in the prior art, and the content of the web page is stored by accessing the web page or the homepage according to the URL of the output result. This process is preferably performed in the web server 10 that is not performed on the user PC, the web connection speed is fast.

If the corresponding web page does not exist during the connection according to the output URL, the web server 10 deletes the corresponding URL from the output result. As a result, the user does not have access to a nonexistent web page, so the search results have the correct advantage.

The web server 10 transmits the contents and output results of the stored web page to the user PC when the connection with the URL according to the search result is completed. The user PC outputs the data transmitted from the web server 10 on the monitor 28 using a web browser. At this time, the transmitted web page and output result are temporarily stored in the memory 22 or stored in the HDD 26.

6 shows an example of the output result according to the present invention displayed on the monitor 28 of the user PC 20. As shown in FIG.

As shown, it can be seen that the screen of the web browser outputs a conventional result output in which a URL is recorded and a web page corresponding to the result output. In this case, not all web pages are output, but only one web page of a specific URL selected by the user is output. The switching of the web page is preferably configured such that only the contents which are reversed as the user moves the mouse cursor are automatically displayed on the divided frames of the web browser without clicking.

The above process will be described in detail with reference to the web browser screen state of FIGS. 4 to 6 as follows.

For example, the user accesses the web server 10 of the search site through the Internet communication network 60 using the user PC 20, and inputs "patent" as a keyword in an input box as shown in FIG. And start the search. The web server 10 retrieves the data having the contents corresponding to the input "patent" from the database and outputs the result as a result.

The output result is not directly transmitted to the user PC 20 but is temporarily stored in the memory unit built in the web server 10. After the result output is stored, the web server 10 directly accesses the web address (URL) of the stored output and stores the content of the web page. Since the speed of the web server 10 is fast, it is preferable to perform it directly in the web server 10.

In this process, the web server 10 deletes the URL of the web page that does not currently exist. Therefore, the accuracy is significantly increased compared to outputting the results extracted from the conventional database without any filtering, which can of course provide a higher level of service to web users.

As described above, the web server 10 transmits to the user PC 20 when the access and the content storage are completed for each URL of the web search result output. This transmission result is shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 6 again, a similar result output is located on the left side of the web browser screen, and the associated page of the URL located at the top is displayed as an initial value in the divided frame located on the right side.

Figure 6 shows an example of the output of the results for the keyword "patent", 1. Patent Office, 2. Patent site, 3. Invention Promotion Association, 4. Individual inventors ,. 1. The homepage (associated page) of the KIPO is displayed on the right frame as an initial value. The remaining web pages associated with URLs not displayed on the web browser screen are stored in the HDD 26.

The conversion of a web page is inverted or a box moves by moving a conventional mouse cursor (not shown) over an output product (1. Patent Office, 2. Invention Promotion Association, ...), and thus the associated web page or The home page is printed. If the output result exceeds the number that can be displayed on the web browser screen, the web browser will not save the web page for the remaining results, and if the output request of the web search result is input again, the web server 10 will then It is advantageous for the web transmission speed to perform the retrieval and the web page content saving process again.

When the homepage is output, the user can directly check whether or not the webpage he is looking for by checking the contents of his / her PC, and thus, there is an advantage that the user can efficiently search without accessing the output result as in the prior art.

When the user finds what he / she is looking for, the user can immediately access the web page by clicking the link of the web page displayed on the right frame.

The method of the present invention can of course also be implemented on a user PC. That is, after the result output is transmitted to the user's PC, the user can access the respective URLs in the background state without being directly outputted on the web browser screen, receive the contents of the corresponding web page, save the contents, and display the result as shown in FIG. . At this time, it is preferable that the user PC use a high-speed communication line.

In addition, the method of the present invention can be applied not only to the keyword search method but also to the directory service method in a similar manner. That is, when outputting the content requested by the user, the web server 10 accesses URLs stored in respective directories, stores the contents of the web page, and transmits the contents to the user PC 10.

As described above, according to the present invention, a user can easily grasp and directly access the homepage or the contents of the webpage according to the search result by a specific keyword in a website that provides a search service such as Yahoo, AltaVista, Simmani, and Naver. Therefore, the search efficiency is increased.

Although the invention has been described in detail only with respect to the described embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and variations can be made within the spirit and scope of the invention, and such variations or modifications will belong to the appended claims. .
