Description

System and method for retrieving local information based on at least one of Hangul's initial, neutral, and Jongsung {{SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEARCHING LOCAL INFORMATION BASED ON AT LEAST ONE OF INITIAL, MEDIAL AND FINAL SOUNDS OF HANGUL}

The present invention relates to a system and method for retrieving local information, and more particularly, to a system and method for retrieving local information based on at least one of Korean initiality, neutrality and finality.

In general, in order to search for Hangul in the user terminal, the initial consonant, the neutral, and the final correspondence corresponding to each syllable of the Hangul word to be searched have to be sequentially input.

However, according to the prior art, the Korean search method only needs to input all of the consonants, neutrals, and finalities of each syllable of the Hangul word to be searched.

Accordingly, a technique for searching for Hangul by inputting only consonant consonants corresponding to each syllable of a Hangul word to be searched when searching for Hangul in a mobile terminal has been proposed.

On the other hand, conventionally, when searching for local information in the user terminal, the search results are arranged in a random manner without considering the location information of the user, the input frequency or the selection frequency of the search word input by the user, and the like. Therefore, there is a problem that a search cannot be made in consideration of a user's search pattern.

Accordingly, a technique of sorting search results searched by a user in consideration of the search pattern of the user has been proposed.

As a first prior art, Korean Registered Patent No. 0313462 compares a location of a user corresponding to a user's IP address with a location of information searched by the user, and provides the searched information in an order of proximity to the location of the user. Discloses a method of displaying information retrieved by a web search engine in a geographically close order.

However, the first prior art discloses a technique of comparing the IP address obtained from the user's IP address with the URL address of the search information searched by the user and sorting the search information in an order close to the user's location. There is no disclosure of a technique for displaying and displaying searched search information on a map.

In addition, as a second prior art, Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2006-0093190 discloses an operation mode of the data retrieval device when a request for performing a data retrieval mode is performed to perform a data retrieval according to a frequency of use of a user. Disclosed is a data retrieval device and method according to a frequency of use of a user in a vehicle navigation system, which switches to a data retrieval mode, selects a type of data to be retrieved, and retrieves data corresponding to the selected data type.

However, the second prior art only discloses a technique for performing a data search according to the frequency of use of the user, and sets the search result based on the preset information based on the location information of the user terminal and the location information indicated by the Hangul word searched by the user. The technique of sorting and displaying accordingly cannot be disclosed.

Further, the first and second prior arts do not disclose a technique for searching for a Hangul word based on at least one of the initial, neutral, and finality of each syllable of the Hangul word. As a specific example, according to the first and second prior arts, when a user wants to search for 'wish church', he or she must input 'wish church' or 'ㅅ ㅁㄱㅎ', and the first consonant of each syllable, It was not possible to enter and search for at least one of neutral and final.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a region in which a corresponding word is searched by recognizing an unfinished Korean word including at least one of the first, the middle, and the last of each syllable, and the location information of the area indicated by the searched word may be searched. An information retrieval system and method are provided.

In addition, an embodiment of the present invention is a region information that can arrange and display the search results searched by the user based on a preset criteria based on the location information of the user terminal and the location information indicated by the Hangul word searched by the user Provides a search system and method thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art may easily implement the present invention. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. In the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted in order to clearly describe the present invention, and like reference numerals designate like parts throughout the specification.

Throughout the specification, when a part is "connected" to another part, this includes not only "directly connected" but also "electrically connected" with another element in between. . In addition, when a part is said to "include" a certain component, which means that it may further include other components, except to exclude other components unless otherwise stated.

Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, a system and a method for searching for local information based on at least one of the initial consonant, the neutral, and the final consonant of Hangul according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

1 is a view for explaining a local information retrieval system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the local information retrieval system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a mixed search DB 110, a search term input unit 120, a mixed search unit 130, a location information analyzer 140, and The search result recommendation unit 150 is included.

The mixed search DB 110 classifies each syllable of the Hangul word into primary, neutral, and final and indexes and stores them. For example, the mixed search DB 110 divides each syllable of Hangul into a case of forming one completed syllable as an initial consonant, a vowel and a final consonant, and a case of forming one completed syllable only by the first consonant and a neutral vowel. Can be stored.

That is, when B [consonant] is started after A [consonant, vowel, consonant], the mixed search DB 110 recognizes one syllable composed of a consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant, classifies and stores them. In addition, the consonant of B may be recognized as one new syllable and classified and stored. On the other hand, the mixed search DB (110) when C [consonant, vowel, consonant] after D [vowel] begins to recognize and classify C as one syllable consisting of the initial consonant and the final consonant, the collection of D is C From the second consonant of the new syllable can be recognized and stored as a syllable.

2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a mixed search DB that classifies and stores each syllable of a Hangul word as a consonant, neutral, and final according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the mixed search DB 110 may store a synonym or a similar word for each stored Hangul word in association.

The mixed search DB 110 may exist in the portable terminal, but may also exist in the mixed search server (not shown) configured separately from the portable terminal.

When the mixed search DB 110 exists in the mixed search server, the mixed search unit 130 of the portable terminal transmits the Hangul word input through the search word input unit 120 to the mixed search server through wireless or wired communication. In this case, the search result can be received.

In addition, when the mixed search DB 110 is present in the portable terminal, the data stored in the mixed search DB 110 may be periodically updated from the mixed search server. As such, the data stored in the mixed search DB 110 is periodically updated to not only retain the latest synonym / similar data but also provide search results reflecting the input frequency or selection frequency of other users. do.

The search term inputter 120 may input the at least one of the initial, neutral, and finality of each syllable of the Hangul word to be searched by the user. That is, an unfinished Korean word including at least one of a consonant, a neutral, and a consonant is input to each syllable from a portable terminal.

The mixed search unit 130 searches for a candidate word corresponding to the incomplete Korean word input to the search word input unit 120 from the mixed search DB 110. That is, the mixed search unit 130 searches for candidate words based on the initial, neutral, and finality of each syllable of the Hangul word input by the user. Each candidate word includes location information, as shown in FIG. 2.

The location information analyzer 140 analyzes current location information of the user terminal. The location information may be GPS location information of the user terminal or location information based on an IP address of the user terminal.

The search result recommender 150 may search the candidate based on the location information of the user terminal analyzed by the location information analyzer 140 when the location information of the candidate word searched by the mixed search unit 130 is multiple. Display a list of words. That is, based on the location information of the user terminal and the location information of the candidate words searched by the user, the searched list of candidate words is sorted and displayed according to a preset criterion. In this case, the search result recommender 150 may sort and display the searched list of candidate words in a predetermined number in a close order from the user terminal.

For example, when the search word input by the user is “hope”, the local information search system 100 searches and displays “wish church” corresponding to “hope” from the mixed search DB 110. In this case, when the “Somang Church” is located in 'Busan', 'Gangwon-do', 'Sinsa-dong, Seoul', etc., the 'Soman Church / Busan Metropolitan City' and 'Somang Church' / Seoul Sinsa-dong, 'Soman Church / Gangwon-do' can be displayed.

In addition, when the position information of the candidate word is greater than or equal to a preset distance from the position information of the user terminal, the search result recommendation unit 150 may determine the frequency at which the searched candidate word is input by the user or the frequency at which the candidate word is selected by the user. The searched candidate words may be sorted and displayed based on the search results.

Also, the search result recommender 150 may select candidate words having location information related to the location information of the user terminal among the searched candidate words as a first ranking, and candidate words having a high frequency input by the user as the second ranking. A candidate word having a high frequency selected by the second word may be recommended as a third ranking, and candidate words registered with many similar words may be recommended as a fourth ranking and displayed.

For example, when a user terminal is located in 'Seoul,' a candidate word having location information belonging to 'Seoul' may be recommended as a first rank, and a candidate having location information belonging to 'Seoul'. The words may be recommended based on the second to fourth ranks.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for retrieving local information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In operation S11, the local information retrieval system 100 receives a Hangul word to be searched from a user. The Hangul word may be an unfinished Hangul word including at least one of a consonant, a neutral, and a final word for each syllable, for example, 'soma ㅎ'.

 In step S12, the local information retrieval system 100 searches for candidate words corresponding to the incomplete Hangul words from the mixed search DB 110, and then proceeds to step S13, where the GPS location information of the user terminal is located. Or it analyzes the location information corresponding to the IP address of the user terminal.

In step S14, the local information retrieval system 100 analyzes the location information of the area indicated by the candidate word retrieved in step S12, and then proceeds to step S15 to determine the user terminal analyzed in step S13. Based on the location information and the location information of the area indicated by the candidate word analyzed in step S14, the searched list of candidate words is sorted and displayed according to preset criteria. For example, the local information retrieval system 100 may sort and display the list of candidate words in an order close to the user terminal.

In addition, the local information search system 100 may determine the frequency of the candidate word in the order of the frequency input by the user or the frequency selected by the user after the input when the location information of the candidate word is greater than or equal to a preset distance from the location information of the user terminal. You can sort the list and display it.

Also, the local information retrieval system 100 may select candidate words having location information related to location information of the user terminal among the searched candidate words as a first rank, candidate words having a high frequency input by the user as a second rank, A candidate word having a high frequency selected by the user may be recommended as the third ranking, and candidate words registered with many similar words may be recommended as the fourth ranking and displayed.

In step S16, when one of the candidate words provided in step S15 is selected by the user, the local information retrieval system 100 displays and displays the location information of the selected candidate word on a map.

4A and 4B are examples of a local information search screen on the web according to an embodiment of the present invention, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 4A, when a user inputs some of the consonants, neutrals, and finalities of each syllable, such as “soma” in the input window 410, candidate words corresponding to the same are searched for. Thereafter, the location information based on the IP address or the GPS value of the user terminal and the location information of the area indicated by the searched candidate word are analyzed, and the searched candidate words are sorted according to predetermined criteria and displayed on the search result screen 420.

The searched candidate words are words that match the input “soma”, and the list of these candidate words may be displayed, for example, in a close order from the user terminal.

In the search result screen 420, for example, when the location information based on the IP address of the user terminal is Busan, “Soman Church / Busan Metropolitan City” having location information related thereto is located at the top, and then "Soman Church / Naju-si Jeollanam-do" is located in the order close to the user terminal. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the above-described sorting order is merely illustrative, but not limited to.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 4b, when the 'desire church / Busan Metropolitan City' is selected by the user among the candidate words arranged on the search result screen 420 to display the location information of the selected candidate words on a map Display.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the user inputs some of the consonants, neutrals, and finalities of each syllable, such as “desire” in the input window 510, the GPS of the user terminal among the candidate words searched correspondingly. The searched candidate screen is displayed on the search result screen 420 by analyzing location information and location information of a region indicated by the searched candidate word.

The searched candidate words are words that match the input “desire”, and the list of these candidate words has a first rank among the searched candidate words having position information related to GPS location information of the user terminal. In this case, candidate words with a high frequency input by the user are sorted by the second rank, candidate words with a high frequency selected by the user are sorted by the third rank, and candidate words with many similar words are sorted and displayed by the fourth rank.

In the search result screen 520, for example, when the GPS location information of the user terminal is, for example, Busan, “Soman Church / Busan Metropolitan City” having location information related thereto is located at the top, and then The "Frequency Church / Seoul Sinsa-dong" input by the user is located high, and the "Frequency Church / Gangwon-do" frequency is selected by the user. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the above-described sorting order is merely illustrative, but not limited to.
