Description

Search history service method and system {SEARCH HISTORY SERVICE METHOD AND SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a search history service method and system, and more particularly, to a search history service method and system that allows a web visitor to history a search result without a login of a web visitor.

The configuration of a communication system using a general Internet communication network, as shown in FIG. 1, is provided by a plurality of user communication terminals 110-1 to 110-n such as a personal computer (PC) and an Internet service provider (ISP). Internet communication network 12, which comprises a plurality of web servers (130-1 ~ 130-m) for providing various Internet services. Here, each of the user communication terminals 110-1 to 110-n may be connected to each web server 130-1 to 130-m through an internet communication network 120 using a web browser to receive various Internet services. have.

The communication system having the above-described configuration visits a web site provided from the web servers 130-1 to 130-m by using a web browser in each of the user communication terminals 110-1 to 110-n, and then uses a web browser. When moving to a web site, data on a web site visited by a user could not be organized systematically, resulting in inconvenience in use.

In other words, when a user moves a plurality of web sites, in order to find the web site he visited again, the user may search by using a history function that records the web site visited by the user. In this case, the history function does not organize the data into systematic data, but is simply recorded in the order of connection. Therefore, in order to find the data (eg, web address, title, etc.) that the user wants to find, the data is stored in the web browser. Not only is it inconvenient to search continuously until it appears on the screen, but the number of times of storage is limited, so it often happens that the desired data cannot be found.

You can also save a web address to a bookmark (or favorite) in a web browser, but in this case it's very difficult to bookmark a web address for every website you've visited, Since the information about the address is stored in the user communication terminals 110-1 to 110-n, problems such as a decrease in the capacity of the hard disk and a decrease in the operating speed of the terminal may occur.

Therefore, after a user who uses the Internet through a web browser registers with a web server as a member, the web server automatically keeps a web surfing record on the web server by searching the website address and title of the website they visited. In addition, a search history service method has been developed to facilitate the retrieval of archived data.

However, this search history service method allows a member who logs in to a web server that provides the search history service to save the search log on a daily basis for the web site he or she searched, thereby providing a web that provides the search history service. If a member registered on the server must log in, or if there are many stored web surfing records (ie, website address and title), the member cannot easily identify what material he / she is looking for again. There is still inconvenience in using.
