Description

How directories are organized in search engines {METHOD FOR FORMATING DIRECTORY IN SEARCH ENGINE}

The present invention relates to a method for organizing a directory in a search engine, and more particularly, to a method for configuring a directory of a search engine in a tree shape desired by a user while referring to statistical data for each category.

Typically, at the time when the Internet population is growing, users who primarily use search strive to find more useful search results, that is, search engines that provide the search results that are most appropriate for the user. In other words, Internet users have searched for a way to obtain the information they want quickly, and it is the search engine that makes it possible.

These search engines navigate the Internet at high speed on behalf of Internet users and find information that meets their needs. In other words, the user tells what information he / she wants according to the query form provided by the search engine, and the search engine performs the search for the information.

Among them, the directory search provided by the yahoo search engine is rated by the experts as the best form of directory classification. However, as the reality is that the user base cannot be satisfied, many companies that provide other search engines are endlessly trying to supplement these points.

Information retrieval over the Internet uses a search engine on how to manipulate and manage the data processed by the search program. Currently, commercial search engines search a large number of websites and include the address of the website containing the desired topic. We index this as its subject and store it in the database to serve.

If the Internet user enters a key word using a search engine to search for relevant information, or if he / she knows a site with desired information in advance, the user immediately enters the corresponding site and finds the information directly.

Such conventional Internet information search is classified into keyword type information search, directory type internet information search, meta type internet information search, and the like.

That is, keyword type information retrieval refers to information retrieval that searches a user's input information by constructing a database of specific phrases of web pages distributed in the internet network. Altavista, lycos, naver, simmany and the like.

Directory-type internet information retrieval classifies web pages distributed in the internet network into several preset directories, and retrieves the information entered by the user. Yahoo, galaxy and the like.

Meta-type internet information search refers to an information search system that searches other information search systems based on the information entered by the user at one time. ), Mochanni, and the like.

Therefore, it is cumbersome to frequently visit a preferred website through a search engine in order to accurately obtain specific information desired by a user using a search tool such as keyword type, directory type, and meta type internet information search. There is a problem that the user has to use a favorite site through a separate search engine because there is no reference material in using a favorite.

In particular, if you visit the existing search engine and search, keyword type and meta type are not a problem, but in directory type internet information search, you can always search for information by subject even though you are not interested or need it. It consists of an information retrieval system structure that is hierarchically organized in tree form so that users can gradually find information by selecting information they want on the directory service.

For example, if you're a doctor, if you visit an existing search engine to search for a traditional medical website that interests you, you'll see a medical section of the main directory listed as News Entertainment Business Computer Medicine .... Click on it, then click on Traditional Medicine in the subdirectory, and you will see a list of websites related to traditional medicine.

In this way, the existing directory-type Internet information search enables the searching of information by subject, but the employees of the company using the directory search engine directly search the sites that they apply for registration and database them one by one. Since it takes a lot of time and the main directory list and the subdirectory list are hierarchically fixed in a tree form, there is an inconvenience of having to go through a number of search steps in order to search the web site that the user prefers.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the object of which is to make the search engine more convenient by configuring the directory of the search engine in the form of a tree desired by the user while referring to the statistical data for each category The present invention provides a method for organizing directories in a search engine.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for constructing a directory in a search engine, comprising: outputting a directory in a website provided by a search engine system based on information search statistics to a user through a website; Storing the personal profile information in a personal information DB in a personal information server connected to a website by a user logging on and receiving personal profile information; In the integrated information server that reads the personal profile information stored in the personal information DB, cross-analyze the personal profile information and the information retrieval statistics data, and construct a directory of web pages logged on by the user based on the statistics data obtained by statistics. Outputting; If the user selects the desired classification among the classification directories designated at any place in the log-on page from the user, the information retrieval statistics stored by the classification by the demographic attributes stored in the integrated information DB are returned in response to the classification selected by the integrated information server. Reading and outputting a preferred directory result corresponding to the user's classification selection on a separate web page; Directory configuration data by changing the search engine directory configuration by changing the configuration of own search engine by selecting only the outputs that users need among the preferred directory outputs and moving them to subdirectories within the logon page, and creating a new main directory name based on the moved outputs. The integrated information server provided with the step of storing the directory configuration data in the integrated information DB again by statistical processing by classification.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail with respect to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a block diagram for performing a directory configuration method in a search engine according to the present invention includes a user 10 and a search engine system 20.

The user 10 accesses the search engine system 20 through his computer and inputs personal profile information at the same time as the membership. In addition, the user 10 accesses the search engine system 20 and logs on, and then performs an information search to find information desired by the user. At this time, the information retrieval change data retrieved by the user 10 is automatically provided to the personal information server 21 in the search engine system 20.

Thereafter, the user 10 may configure the directory type of the log-on page in a desired form in order to configure the directory type of the log-on page in a desired location in the log-on page, that is, by occupation, age, gender, subject, time zone, ... If a desired classification is selected from the directory, the selected classification data is provided to the integrated information server 22 in the search engine system 20 via the Internet A. Thereafter, the user 10 selects only the results required by the user from among the classified preference directory outputs (websites) provided from the integrated information server 22 and moves them to a subdirectory in the logon page.

Then, the user 10 creates a new main directory name based on the moved result, changes his or her own search engine directory configuration, and integrates the changed directory configuration data into the search engine system 20 through the Internet A. The information server 22 is provided.

The search engine system 20 includes a personal information server 21, an integrated information server 22, a personal information database (hereinafter referred to as DB) 23, a classification-specific DB 24, and an integrated information DB. (25) is provided.

The personal information server 21 provides the personal profile information input by the user 10 to the personal information DB 30, collects the information retrieval change data retrieved by the user 10, and sends it to the classification-specific DB 24. to provide.

The personal information DB 23 stores personal profile information provided from the personal information server 21, and the classification-specific DB 24 stores information retrieval change data collected by the personal information server 21.

The integrated information server 22 reads personal profile information and information retrieval change data stored in the personal information DB 23 and the classification-specific DB 24 through the personal information server 21, and performs statistics while performing cross-analysis for each individual. Information retrieval statistics are provided to the integrated information DB (25). In addition, the integrated information server 22 stores information retrieval statistical data stored for each category based on demographic attributes stored in the integrated information DB 25 in response to selecting a desired classification from the directory for each category provided from the user 10. It reads and prints the preferred directory output (Uniform Resource Locator) of the web site in a separate web page for the user's choice. Subsequently, the integrated information server 40 receives the changed directory configuration data from the user 10 and performs statistical processing for each category again and transmits it to the integrated information DB 25.

The integrated information DB 25 stores the information retrieval statistics provided by the integrated information server 22 and stores the changed directory configuration data provided from the integrated information server 22.

With reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2, the method of changing a directory structure at the time of a directory structure change request from a user according to this invention is demonstrated in detail.

First, the personal profile information and information retrieval change data stored in the personal information DB 23 and the classification DB 24 are read from the integrated information server 22 in the search engine system 20, and the statistics are analyzed while performing cross-analysis for each individual. The information retrieval statistics data generated are stored in the integrated information DB 25, and a directory in the website provided by the search engine system 20 is constructed and output to the user based on the information retrieval statistics data (step 201).

The user 10 accesses the website provided by the search engine system 20 via the Internet A while using his computer, and inputs personal profile information at the same time as the membership (step 202). This personal profile information is then provided to the personal information server 21 via the Internet A (step 203), and the personal information server 21 stores the personal profile information input by the user 10 in a personal information DB ( 30) (step 204).

At this time, the integrated information server 22 cross-analyzes the personal profile information stored in the personal information DB 23 and the information retrieval statistics data stored in the integrated information DB 25, respectively. In step 205, a directory of the logged on web page is constructed and output.

Thereafter, the user 10 may configure a directory form of a log on page (web page) in a form desired by the classification directory designated at an arbitrary position in the log on page, that is, by occupation, age, gender, subject, time zone, etc. If the user selects the desired classification from the directory, the selected classification data is provided to the integrated information server 22 via the Internet A (step 206).

The integrated information server 22 reads information retrieval statistics stored for each section by demographic attributes stored in the integrated information DB 25 in response to selecting a desired classification from the directory for each category provided from the user 10. The preferred directory output (the URL of the website) corresponding to the user's selection is output on a separate web page (step 207).

Thereafter, the user 10 selects only the outputs he / she needs from among the preferred directory outputs (websites) provided by the integrated information server 22 and moves them to subdirectories within the logon page, and based on the moved results, Create a main directory name to change your own search engine directory configuration (step 208). Thereafter, the user 10 provides the changed directory configuration data to the integrated information server 22 via the Internet A (step 209).

The integrated information server 40 receives the changed directory configuration data from the user 10 and performs statistical processing for each category again and transmits it to the integrated information DB 25, and the integrated information DB 25 is provided by the integrated information server 22. Save the changed directory configuration data provided (step 210).

Therefore, the present invention provides a convenient directory search of the directory of the search engine by the user's own tree shape, so that users of various fields can be categorized into a variety of directory classification services that can meet a variety of age groups There is an effect that can be provided by classification.
