The present invention includes a tagging list supporting a tagging search method in a part of an information retrieval program that supports a keyword search method for local data so that the user can freely select a search method according to a user's preferred method. Local data tagging method and local data tagging system.

In order to systematically manage local data held in a large user terminal and to conveniently search for local data, a method of adding a search for local data as a function of an information retrieval program pre-installed in the user terminal is conventionally used. Is being adopted. That is, in the conventional method, when there is a request for searching for local data, specific local data corresponding to a keyword input by the user into the information retrieval program is extracted from the user terminal, and the extracted local data is provided to the user as a search result. It can be summarized as a kind of keyword search method.

The search method is a user who makes a search request and inputs a keyword that can predict a search result in advance, and the search result can be made relatively accurately.

In this keyword search method, the search result (local data) corresponding to the keyword is registered in advance, so that no intervention of a user requesting a search is required when generating the search result, and all registered local data can be searched. There is an advantage.

However, in the keyword search method, the user must remember a specific keyword that can predict the search result before searching for the information desired by the user, and the user can see even if the user is provided with the search result searched by the search request. It is true that there is a problem in that it is not easy to grasp the entire contents of the search result because it is limited to the search result registered in advance.

In addition to the keyword search method described above, a search method by tagging is supported in general web search. The tagging search method is a method in which a user directly associates a tag (TAG) for each web search target (eg, web data) and expresses information to be provided as a search result according to the total frequency of the tags corresponding to the user. .

In other words, the tagging search method is a search method for creating a result list using a tag manually registered by a user, and providing the search result list to the user who made a search request. In the tagging search method, the result list has an advantage that the user can easily grasp the entire contents of the search result by making the expression method of the tags included in the result list different.

However, the tagging search method has not been applied to the search of local data so far, and moreover, it is cumbersome for the user to directly register the tag every time the web data is created, updated, or deleted. Only the search results are derived, and web data in which the user does not register a tag has a limitation of being excluded from the search operation.

If there is a search method for local data that combines the two search methods described above, there is no premise that a user must remember keywords in advance even in a search operation for a large amount of local data. The user will be able to maximize the ease of searching.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new local data retrieval method that provides a more efficient retrieval operation by providing a retrieval method that simultaneously supports a keyword retrieval method and a tag retrieval method for local data search.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, in the information search program of the user terminal driven for the search operation, by supporting the tagging search method and the keyword search method at the same time, the user's preferred search method flexible search operation It is an object of the present invention to provide a local data tagging method and a local data tagging system that enable the operation.

In addition, the present invention integrates the existing keyword search method and tagging search method organically so that the user can roughly grasp the entire information history of the searched local data without requiring the user's manual tagging operation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a local data tagging method and a local data tagging system.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a local data tagging method and a local data tagging system capable of automatically performing tagging processing on local data.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a local data tagging method and a local data tagging system capable of enabling an accurate search operation without requiring a user to accurately remember a keyword to be searched, unlike in the existing keyword search method. It is done.

The local data tagging method according to the present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of: maintaining a list database for recording one or more tagging lists, extracting a tagging list from the list database in conjunction with the operation of the information retrieval program in the user terminal; And including the extracted tagging list in a partial region of the information retrieval program, inputting a keyword into a search field of the information retrieval program, or selecting input for a tagging list included in the information retrieval program. And confirming that the information is received and providing the search result searched by a predetermined local search engine to the information search program in response to the identified keyword input or selection input.

In addition, as a technical configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object, a system for tagging local data includes a list database for recording one or more tagging lists, and tagging from the list database in association with driving of an information retrieval program on a user terminal. List extracting means for extracting a list, list control means for including the extracted tagging list in a partial region of the information retrieval program, and inputting a keyword into a search field of the information retrieval program or a tagging list of the information retrieval program. And a search control means for confirming a selection input for the search result and providing the search result searched by a predetermined local search engine to the information search program in response to the identified keyword input or the selection input.

Hereinafter, a local data tagging method and a local data tagging system in a local search will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

“TAGGING”, as used continuously in this specification, associates one or more index names with each of the local data to be searched, and presents all or part of the local data by presenting some or all of the corresponding index names to the user who wishes to search. It may refer to a search method that allows a brief grasp of the details so that a search operation may be more conveniently performed.

Here, the local data may refer to data held in the user terminal, and the index name represents local data including the index name, and may be defined as a combination of characters having a meaning, for example.

The searching operation by tagging corresponds to an index name in advance for each local data, lists the corresponding index names in a tagging list, presents them to a user, and then provides the user with local data associated with the index name selected by the user. to be. Accordingly, the tagging search operation enables the user who is presented with the tagging list to grasp the approximate details of the local data through the index name, unlike the search operation by the keyword input.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the information retrieval program driven by the user terminal for the retrieval operation supports both the tagging retrieval method and the keyword retrieval method at the same time, so that the retrieval operation can be freely selected according to the user's preferred retrieval method. To help. The information retrieval program may be any program that supports a retrieval operation of data, for example, a retrieval program such as a web browser or navigation.

1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a network connection of a local data tagging system according to the present invention.

The local data tagging system 100 of the present invention may be included in the user terminal 110 holding local data.

The local data tagging system 100 creates a tagging list in consideration of the index table created by the local search engine 130. In the index table, an index name extracted from a plurality of local data to be searched, a number of files of local data including the index name or a total frequency included in the local data may be recorded.

That is, the local data tagging system 100 determines a method of marking a specific index name in consideration of the number of files and the total frequency, and serves to list the index names displayed according to the determined notation method as a tagging list. For example, the local data tagging system 100 displays an index name included in a tagging list prominently as it is included in a plurality of local data or as frequently included in all local data. Make it easy to identify. Here, the grasp of the entire contents may refer to the user 120 understanding the approximate contents of the search results, such as which keywords are included in the search results and which representative keywords are among the search results. .

In particular, the local data tagging system 100 of the present invention supports a keyword search method and a tagging search method for searching local data according to a keyword input of the user 120 on one information search program. Accordingly, the user 120 using the local data tagging system 100 according to the present invention may perform a search operation on the local data using an index name selection input according to a preferred search method, for example, a tagging search method. In addition, a keyword search method may be used to search local data.

The local search engine 130 extracts a predetermined index name from the local data to create an index table. For each of the extracted index names, the number of files of the local data extracted from the index name and the index name in each local data are generated. It is to create an index table by calculating the total frequency of the sum of the frequencies.

In addition, the local search engine 130 may perform a search operation on the local data, corresponding to a keyword input or a selection input for the index name of the tagging list input on the information search program of the user terminal 110. Local data may be retrieved from the local database 140 and extracted.

The user terminal 110 searches for the tagging list in the list database 150 according to the operation of the information retrieval program, and includes the retrieved tagging list in a partial area of the information retrieval program and exposes it to the user 120.

In particular, the user terminal 110 according to the present embodiment allows a keyword or category input to the information retrieval program so that a search operation on local data held by the user terminal 110 is possible, and the local data tagging system 100 of the present invention Local data is retrieved from the local database 140 in response to the input keyword or category, and the retrieved local data is exposed to the user 120 through the information retrieval program.

The user 120 holds the user terminal 110 and freely localizes the keyword search method or the tagging search method by inputting a keyword (or category) or selecting a tagging list on the information search program of the user terminal 110. It may mean an internet user performing a search operation of data.

The local data tagging system 100 includes a tagging list by a tagging search method on an information search program that supports a keyword search method, and freely supports a keyword search method or a tagging search method according to a user's selection. Do it.

In particular, the local data tagging system 100 creates a tagging list in which the index names that are included in the plurality of local data or the frequency in the local data are markedly marked for the index names to be included in the tagging list. 120, the content of the search result can be approximately recognized by the user 120 by the index name included in the tagging list. Hereinafter, a detailed configuration of the local data tagging system 200 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

2 is a block diagram showing a local data tagging system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The local data tagging system 200 of the present invention includes a list creating means 210, a list extracting means 220, a list control means 230, and a search control means 240.

In addition, the local data tagging system 200 of the present invention includes a local database 140 for storing and maintaining local data held by the user terminal 110 and a list database 150 for storing and maintaining a list created for local data. ) May be further included.

The local database 140 may store local data held in the user terminal 110 in correspondence with a predetermined keyword or category, and extract specific local data in response to a search request according to a keyword or category input.

The list database 150 records one or more tagging lists, and when the information retrieval program is driven for a search operation in the user terminal 110, the information is stored in a predetermined tagging list retrieved by the local data tagging system 200. It can be included in some areas of the search program.

In particular, the list database 150 may record in association with predetermined category information for each tagging list, and the search category in the local data tagging system 200 according to the search category position in the driven information search program. The tagging list corresponding to the position can be selectively extracted. For example, when a search category location (or location of a directory to be searched) of an information search program is 'newspaper', the local data tagging system 200 extracts a tagging list of category information corresponding to the 'newspaper' and searches the information. Can be included in the program

The tagging list of the list database 150 may be created by the list creating means 210, and the list creating means 210 may be recorded in the index table previously created by the local search engine 130, more specifically, in the index table. The tagging list can be prepared by determining the indexing method in consideration of the 'number of files' or 'total frequency' associated with the index name.

The local search engine 130 creating the index table extracts an index name from each collected local data, calculates a frequency including an index name from the extracted index name and individual local data, and records the index name in the index table.

As described above, the index name may be defined as a character combination included in the local data and having a meaning, and the local search engine 130 indexes one or more character combinations capable of meaning identification among local data collected according to a predetermined condition. Can be extracted with

Thereafter, the local search engine 130 obtains information on the number of local data extracted from the index name, the frequency including the individual index name in each local data, and the like, based on the extracted index name, and the obtained information is displayed on the index table. To record. Accordingly, the index table records information on the index name, the name (file name) of the extracted local data, and the number including the index name in the corresponding local data.

In addition, the local search engine 130 calculates the total frequency by summing the number of files of the local data from which the index name is extracted in association with the index name, and the frequency in each local data. That is, the local search engine 210 rearranges the information of the index table based on the index name, counts the total number of local data associated with one index name, and counts the total number of one index name included in the local data. .

Thereafter, the list creating means 210 may assign a predetermined rank to the index name in consideration of the number of files and the total frequency of the index table, and create a tagging table in which the index names are arranged according to the assigned rank. That is, the list creating means 210 determines the position of the index name in the tagging list according to the ranking (array order) of the tagging table. In the above rank assignment, the list creation means 210 gives a higher rank as the number of indexes with the larger number of files, and also has a higher frequency index for a plurality of index names having the same number of files. The higher the rank, the lower the ranking in descending order.

In addition, the list creating means 210 selects at least one index name to be included in the tagging list by referring to the equality of each local data in the tagging table. That is, the list creating means 210 may select, for example, index names within n ranks set according to the screen size (View Size) of the user terminal 110 exposing the tagging list to the user 120. As another example, the operator of the present system can flexibly adjust the setting of the n degree so that the index name that is determined to be exposed to the user 120 is included in the tagging list.

In addition, the list creating means 210 determines the notation method for each index name, and creates a tagging list so that the index name is displayed according to the determined notation method. That is, the list creating means 210 determines the marking method by index name in consideration of the calculated number of files and the total frequency, that is, the arrangement order in the tagging table, and creates a tagging list so that the index name is displayed according to the determined notation method. Do it.

In this case, the notation method relates to the notation size or notation density for each index name included in the tagging list, and the list creation means 210 indicates the index size in proportion to the higher the assigned level, the larger the notation in the tagging list. The higher the consensus level is, the more conspicuous the index concentration of the corresponding index name is and the darker the tagging list is.

That is, the list creating means 210 causes the user 120 to be markedly (larger and darker) in the tagging list, so that the index name having a larger number of files and the total frequency is displayed in the tagging list later. Index names having a large number of files and a total frequency are clearly identified.

In addition, the list creating means 210 may create the tagging list by arranging the index names in a predetermined character arrangement order so that each of the index names included in the tagging list is easily recognized by the user 120. For example, when the character system of the index name selected to be included in the tagging list is' Hangul ', the index name is referred to as the character sequence order' ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ,... ', Or if the character system is' alphabet ', the index name is assigned to the character sequence' a, b, c,... Can be arranged according to ' In addition, as another embodiment, it is possible to arrange the index names having a relatively high rank sequentially from the top of the tagging list.

The created tagging list is recorded and maintained in a predetermined storage area of the list database 150.

When the search request is received from the user 120 while the tagging list is maintained in the list database 150, the list extracting means 220 is adapted to drive the information search program in the user terminal 110 for the search operation. In conjunction, the tagging list is extracted from the list database 150. As described above, the list extracting means 220 identifies the search category position of the driven information search program, and selectively extracts a tagging list of category information corresponding to the identified search category position. Here, the search category location may mean a directory location searched by the information search program.

The list control means 230 serves to include the extracted specific tagging list in a part of the information retrieval program. That is, the list control means 230 may expose the specific tagging list to the user 120 who generated the search request through the information search program of the user terminal 110.

In addition, when one index name included in the exposed tagging list is selected by the user 120, the local data tagging system 200 describes providing detailed local data to the user 120 as a search result. .

As described above, the tagging list included by the list control means 230 as a part of the information retrieval program is exposed to the user 120 through the user terminal 110 which has driven the information retrieval program. That is, the information retrieval program of the user terminal 110 is in a state in which a search field for supporting the keyword search method and a tagging list for supporting the tagging search method are included (see FIG. 3).

The search control unit 240 provides the search results searched by the local search engine 130 to the user 120 through the information search program. To this end, the local search engine 130 responds to the case where the user 120 inputs a keyword in a search field by a keyword input method or when the user 120 selects some index names included in a tagging list. The predetermined local data is retrieved from the local database 140.

According to an embodiment, when the user 120 selects "network" from the tagging list, the user first shows 'Report A.doc', 'Report B..doc', and Report C.doc. According to selection of 120, a search may be performed in the local database 140.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the tagging search method and the keyword search method can be simultaneously supported in an information search program driven by the user terminal 110 for a search operation, so that the search method can be freely selected according to the user's preferred search method. You can do a search.

As described above, the local data tagging system 200 of the present invention includes a tagging list as an information retrieval program driven by the user terminal 110 for a retrieval operation, as well as a keyword retrieval method according to keyword input. The tagging search method is also supported. In addition, the local data tagging system 200 according to the present invention not only processes a fast search task, which is an advantage of the keyword search method, but also performs processing of a search task with a relatively high accuracy without having to accurately remember keywords as a search target, which is an advantage of the tag search method. You can do that.

3 and 4 are diagrams illustrating an example of automatic tagging and tagging list creation according to the present invention. FIG. 3 shows a process of creating an index table by the local search engine 130, and FIG. The following example illustrates how to create a tagging table.

In FIG. 3, the local data held by the user terminal 110 is searched by the local data tagging system 200 of the present invention, and the index table is correlated with any index name 'report' in the local search engine 130. Explain about writing.

First, the local search engine 130 is a local data to be searched (targeted to be tagged), and the local data 'A report. DOC, B report. DOC, C report corresponding to the' report 'from the local database 140. Selectively search for .DOC '.

 The local search engine 130 calculates an index name from the retrieved local data 'A report. DOC, B report. DOC, C report. DOC' and the frequency in which the index name is included in the corresponding local data, and uses the index table. Write. In the index table of FIG. 3, for example, the index name 'network' is extracted from the local data 'A report.DOC', and the index name 'network' has a frequency of '10' in the local data 'A report.DOC'. Record that it is included.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, the list creating unit 210 sums the number of files and the total frequency of the local data including the index name based on the extracted index name, and creates a tagging table using the summed information. do. For example, in the index table of FIG. 3, the index name 'network' is 10 times for local data 'A Report.DOC', 50 times for local data 'B Report.DOC' and 100 times for local data 'C Report.DOC'. Is recorded. Accordingly, the list generating unit 210 records the number of files for the index name 'network' as 3 and the total frequency as 160 (10 + 50 + 100) in the tagging table of FIG. 4.

In addition, the list generating means 210 sorts the index name in consideration of the number of files and the total frequency of the tagging table, and creates a tagging list in which the index names are placed in the sorting order and records the list in the list database 150. .

In this case, the list generating means 210 may select the number of index names to be included in the tagging table in consideration of View Size. In FIG. 4B, the view size is 5, and the index names are sorted up to the top 5th in the tagging table. In the example of FIG. 4, ii) of FIG. 4 exemplifies selecting index names sorted up to the top 10 in the tagging table as View Size is 10. FIG.

In addition, the list generating unit 210 considers the sorted index name in the tagging table, that is, the number of files and the total frequency, so that the index name having a relatively high sort order in the tagging list is displayed in large and dark colors. 4) and ii) illustrate a tagging list in which an index name 'network' having the highest sort order is marked relatively larger and darker than other index names.

In addition, the list creating means 210 may arrange the index names included in the tagging list according to the character arrangement order. For example, as shown in FIG. You can create a tagging list arranged in the following order: Manager, Hub, Hong Gil-dong.

Thereafter, the local data tagging system 200 provides the created tagging list to the user 120 through the information search program of the user terminal 110.

Accordingly, the user 120 provided with the tagging list can roughly grasp the details of the local data to be searched through the tagging list. In addition, the local data tagging system 200 of the present invention can be indexed by the user 120 by making the representation in the tagging list for the index name with the highest frequency included or included in the local data to be searched widely. It can lead people to choose naturally.

Hereinafter, the workflow of the local data tagging system 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a local data tagging method according to an embodiment of the present invention in detail.

The local data tagging method of the present invention may be performed by the local data tagging system 200 described above.

First, the local data tagging system 200 maintains a list database 150 that records one or more tagging lists (S510). This step (S510) is the list creation means 210 by using the index name each extracted from the local data collected for the creation of the index table in the local search engine 130, and the frequency including the index name in the individual local data, In the process of creating a tagging list and recording the created tagging list in the list database 150.

In particular, the local data tagging system 200 in this step S510 determines the notation method for each index name, that is, the notation size or notation concentration for each index name in consideration of the calculated number of files and the total frequency, and based on the Create a tagging list that lists and indexes each index name. In this case, the local data tagging system 200 indicates that as the number of files for the index name included in the tagging list increases, and as the total frequency of the index names increases, the notation size of the corresponding index name is proportionally increased and the notation density is proportionally darkened. Be sure to Accordingly, when the tagging list is later exposed to the user 120, the index name having a large number of files and a high total frequency is made relatively visible to other index names by the local data tagging system 200. It is possible to derive the user's 120 selection for and to provide the user 120 with a more accurate search result.

In addition, the local data tagging system 200 in operation S510 may limit the number of index names included in the tagging list in consideration of the view size according to the size of the tagging screen (the screen of the user terminal 110). For example, as shown in (i) of FIG. 4, when View Size is 5, five index names may be sequentially identified with a relatively large number of files and a total frequency.

In addition, the local data tagging system 200 in operation S510 arranges the index names included in the tagging list according to a predetermined character array order, thereby allowing the user 120 to search the index names of the tagging list. It can be easily identified among multiple index names.

In addition, the local data tagging system 200 extracts a tagging list from the list database 150 in association with driving the information retrieval program in the user terminal 110 (S520). This step (S520) is a process of identifying a search category location of a driven information search program, for example, a web browser, and selectively extracting a tagging list of category information corresponding to the identified search category location. For this purpose, each tagging list is recorded on the list database 150 in association with predetermined category information.

Next, the local data tagging system 200 includes the extracted tagging list in a partial region of the information retrieval program (S530). The step (S530) is a process of exposing the extracted tagging list to the user 120 of the user terminal 110 by providing the extracted tagging list to the user terminal 110 that has driven the information retrieval program. By including the information retrieval program of the method, the keyword retrieval method as well as the tagging retrieval method using the information retrieval program is possible.

In addition, the local data tagging system 200 confirms a keyword input into a search field of the information retrieval program or a selection input for a tagging list of the information retrieval program (S540). The step S540 is a process of flexibly supporting a keyword search method or a tagging search method according to a user's preferred search method, for example, by the user 120 who prefers a tagging search method. 200 may confirm that an arbitrary index name is selected from the index names of the exposed tagging list. Meanwhile, by the user 120 who prefers a keyword search method, the local data tagging system 200 may confirm that a predetermined keyword is input to a search field provided in the information search program.

Subsequently, the local data tagging system 200 provides a search result to the information retrieval program in response to the confirmed keyword input or selection input (S550). This step (S550) identifies the index name selected by the user 120 from the input keyword or tagging list, extracts the local data corresponding to the keyword or the identified index name from the list database 150 to the user 120 The process of providing to.

To this end, the local database 140 maps the index name (or keyword) and the local data associated with the index name (keyword), and the local data tagging system 200 corresponds to the input keyword or the selected index name. The local data may be retrieved directly from the list database 150, or the file location of the local data may be checked in the list database 150 and connected to the identified file location to provide the related local data to the user 120.

Therefore, according to the present invention, a tagging search method and a keyword search method can be simultaneously supported in an information search program of a user terminal driven for a search job, thereby enabling a flexible search job to a user's preferred search method.

In addition, according to the present invention, by automatically performing the tagging process for the local data, the user 120 can reduce the effort of the user 120 by avoiding the method of directly tagging for each local data. In addition, by the local data tagging system 200 of the present invention, it is possible to facilitate the approximate information of the local data to be retrieved to the user 120 through the tagging list created by the automatic tagging process.

In addition, as another embodiment of the present invention, when a change in a predetermined storage environment for local data occurs, the local data tagging system 200 may automatically update the previously created local data.

That is, the local data tagging system 200 may be a tagging list that is previously created when any one of the generation, change, and deletion of the local data changes, for example, the storage environment of the local data held in association with the user 120 changes. The update process can be performed. Therefore, according to the local data tagging system 200, even when the user 120 changes the local data held by the user 120 at any time, the user 120 can update the tagging list flexibly according to the changed storage environment. It is possible to ensure that an optimal search environment and search results are provided.
