Query system and its operation method and recording medium storing the program source {MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR KEY-WORD AND MEDIA FOR STORING PROGRAM SOURCE THEREOF}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system and method for processing a search word in an information retrieval service, and to a system and a method for processing a search word for providing a user terminal with a list of information or file types on a web page with respect to a search word input by a user.

Currently, a web-based search engine is most used to obtain information desired by Internet communication users. Web-based search engines must first run a web browser such as Netscape or Explorer, and then access a website equipped with a search engine, depending on the browser.

Therefore, the user must know in advance the address (URL) of the website that has the search engine, and must know the purpose of the search engine to some extent so that the user can search for information of the desired purpose. If you are not familiar with the Internet, it is very difficult to find the information you are looking for. This suggests that information retrieval through the search engine is quite difficult in terms of user interface.

The problem of search engines running on homepages is evident mainly in terms of user interface and storage and recycling of information.

Looking at the driving method, first, the homepage is connected according to the user's driving of the web browser and execution of the corresponding homepage connection. When a search word is input in a search word input window included in the homepage and a user's search execution command is input, information related to the search word is detected from a web database server and provided to the user.

However, when the user sees the search result information and checks whether there is a suitable result for his or her search term, the user repeats the above process after accessing the homepage of another search engine or selecting another classification system.

The result information detected from the web database and sent to the user is primarily index level information, and the user must once again access the index to view detailed information below it. The result of the connection is displayed on the same web page, and the current result is deleted when the user returns to the index. The repetition of this process acts as a factor that hinders the user from searching efficiently.

If you perform a search for a different purpose during the search, you must repeat the above steps after opening another window. However, when a user performs a search that combines two or more of the above purposes, the search engine system operating on the homepage is difficult to satisfy the user's intention.

Sites that have a web database extract the results stored in their database and show the results to the user through a web page. However, this does not only detect the user's desired result, but merely displays a site or document that contains the same words as the search word. have.

In addition, there is a limitation to rely entirely on the search engine's database. Therefore, if the user does not find the desired result, the user must go to a site with a different search engine and repeat the same information search process until the desired result is found. This problem occurs because the search engine running on the website is based on the browser, and communication is possible only through the form of a web page. Browser-based web pages have limitations in processing and transformation.

When a user wants to retrieve information, the purpose is various.

For example, if you search for 'fridge', you can search for information about the definition of 'fridge', search for a product called 'fridge', and also search the internal structure of 'fridge'. You can also search to find out. You can also search for a song called "fridge."

The same is true of the search results. The definition of 'refrigerator' or the internal structure of 'refrigerator' can be shown through web pages. The search for the purchase of the 'fridge' results in the form of a web page embedded in the shopping mall and the payment system for purchase, and the search for the 'fridge' song is driven by a separate program for driving the song. On the premise. Since the purpose of such a search and the result are made in various dimensions, it cannot be implemented in the form of a web page having a result display form in one way. After all, the user has to repeat many unnecessary processes in order to obtain the desired information result.

Another problem with existing search engines is that it is impossible to search in the future. Existing websites use Active Server Page (ASP) technology to actively respond to the user's search on the web.

ASP technology is a technology that allows users to create a dynamic web page that interacts with a database server by interfacing existing web pages with fixed data. It is being provided as a model for communication between a user's web server and a browser. It is a technology that embodies a dynamic form for immediate response.

However, this technology cannot realize the consumer's willingness to search for information in the future. In other words, it is impossible to implement a process of reserving a desired information after a certain point in time and automatically delivering the result back to the user.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the present invention overcomes the limitations of the existing web-based search engine, so that it can be driven at the application program level so that the user can obtain the desired information without moving the website It aims to find and search / purchase desired products, and shorten the path of the user interface.

In addition, if the results of the search are not satisfactory at the present time, the search is made to automatically search the web database and inform the user until the desired search result is obtained through the scheduled search. Its purpose is to.

In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention includes a search word input box on a home page, and detects information related to the search word from a database in response to a search word input and an execution command signal from a user terminal to retrieve the web page. A system for processing a search term in a search engine provided to a user terminal, the system comprising: an icon group window activation module for activating an icon group window including one or more icons by a user's execution command; And a search board activation module for activating a search board in a window of the user terminal according to one icon click signal selected by the user from the icon group window.

In order to achieve the above object, another embodiment of the present invention includes a search word input box on a home page, and detects information related to the search word from a database in response to a search word input and execution command signal from a user terminal to recall the web page. A method of processing a search word in a search engine provided to a user terminal, the method comprising: an icon group window activation process of activating an icon group window including one or more icons by an execution command of the user; And a search board activation process of activating a search board in a window of the user terminal according to one icon click signal selected by a user from the icon group window.

In order to achieve the above object, another embodiment of the present invention provides a recording medium for storing a code program that can be transferred to a user workstation through a communication network by uploading or downloading, or accessed by a computer using a disk drive. In the medium, in response to an execution command of the user, the search board is activated in the window of the user terminal in accordance with an icon click signal selected by the user from the icon group window including one or more icons and the icon group window. A storage medium recording a search word processing program including a search board activation process is provided.

Referring to FIG. 2, the application execution window of the present invention (hereinafter, the icon group window 100) includes one or more search icons 2 to 13 and a plurality of service areas 1, 14, 15, and 16. It is configured by.

In the icon group window 100, search icons such as news search (4), term search (5), image search (still image or video) (11), and software search (9) are searched based on a web database. These engines work so that each result appears in a form suitable for the purpose of the search.

For example, a search result provided by clicking the News search icon (4) appears in the form of a web page containing the relevant article, and a search result provided by clicking the term search icon (5) includes a description of terms. The displayed web page is displayed as a result, and the search result provided by clicking the image search icon 11 shows a list of moving image or still image files as a result. Clicking on one of these lists will present a still image or play a movie. The image includes a picture, a still image, a video, animation, and the like.

Search icons such as web (1) and web DM (web document) (3) in the icon group window 100 are applied to existing website-based search engines when a user inputs a search word and executes the search word. It will automatically request a search.

The website-based search engine receives the user's request and sends the result to the user terminal program. This process is a process of obtaining a result by directly making a call to a web search engine without passing through an existing browser, and thus can have a faster processing speed than a general user searches through a browser.

In addition, by running a plurality of web search engines at once, the results are displayed in one window. The result of searching the web database of the existing search engine is displayed. The results can be sorted by field, and clicking on each result will take you to that website or web document.

When the user searches for the purpose of purchasing a product (including a ticket), a search icon such as a product purchase related (shopping 6, auction 7, ticketing 8) in the icon group window 100 is used. Used for When a user visits a shopping mall or purchases a website for the purpose of purchasing a product on a website-based basis, if the user does not have a desired product, the user moves to another homepage that handles the product, and the same process until the desired product is found. Must be repeated.

However, in the case of information search through the search icon, shopping malls existing on the website can be searched in an integrated manner, and even the price of the product can be compared.

When the user searches for the purchase of the product, the product purchase related icons 6, 7, and 8 sequentially request the product search to a plurality of predetermined shopping malls. Each shopping mall sends the result to the user's search engine, and the search engine clearly shows the results found in the plurality of shopping malls to the user through the result window.

The results can be sorted by product name, price, manufacturer, etc., and when the user accesses the result list, they are directed to the web page where they can buy the product.

In addition, when sorting by the classification of the product name, price, manufacturer, etc., it is possible to sort according to a predetermined priority, the priority setting can have a great effect in later cooperation with a specific company.

The icon group window 100 may also provide advertisements for related companies (1) or advertisements for specific websites (14) or other information that provides information such as phone numbers, addresses, maps, domains, job listings, real estate, and the like. (10) may further include a search icon.

Therefore, real-time fluctuations in flight and rail remaining seats are provided to clients in real time, allowing them to book tickets without the client's continued attempts to access the website. Of course, when the scheduled search is completed, you can set the option to activate the search board.

The reserved search function is a function that can be useful when the user does not find a result after searching. If a user searches for some purpose and does not get the desired results, the user can schedule a search.

After the reservation search is set, the user's program automatically performs the scheduled search process when the user's reservation time arrives, and displays the user when there are new results compared to the previous results.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art, which are included in the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.

As described above, since the present invention can search a plurality of search engines, a plurality of web databases, and a plurality of shopping malls at once, the user interface can be dramatically shortened.

Ticketing reservation search automatically informs you of seats and tickets, so you can quickly purchase tickets or get seat tickets.

If you operate a database based on a website (e.g., airlines, railways, search engine sites, shopping malls, etc.), you can create a program that allows you to search the database with an application program. There is an advantage to enjoy existing services existing on the site.
