Various actual implementations of the search apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B. 2A and 2B are block diagrams illustrating various actual implementations of a search apparatus according to the present invention.

The search system according to the present embodiment may be implemented around the TV 200 and the set-top box 100 as shown in FIG. 2A. The search unit 10 (see FIG. 1) and the viewing record storage unit 30 (see FIG. 1) described above may be included as part of the set-top box 100. The display unit 20 may be implemented as a TV watching a program. The set-top box 100 receives a broadcast signal transmitted from the broadcast signal transmitter 400 and transmits it to be displayed on the TV 200 according to a user's selection, and is connected to the search server 40 through the network 500. As described above, the search and filtering results using the search word, the filtering category, and the filtering keyword are transmitted to be displayed on the user's TV 200. Although the set top box 100 is illustrated as a separate component from the TV 200 in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the set top box 100 may be included in the TV 200 according to the recent development of a smart TV. That is, the set-top box 100 and the TV 200 are only independently distinguished for functional distinction, and do not mean that they are physically implemented as separate components.

Meanwhile, when a user uses a multimedia service such as an over the top (OTT) service, the set-top box 100 may be replaced by a multimedia service providing server that provides multimedia content and transmits and receives related information.

Meanwhile, the search system according to the present embodiment may be implemented to further include a computing device 150 such as a smart phone or a tablet PC in addition to the TV 200 and the set-top box 100 as shown in FIG. 2B. As in the search system illustrated in FIG. 2A, the viewing record storage unit 30 may be included as a part of the set top box 100. However, the search unit 10 (see FIG. 1) may be included as part of the user terminal 150. That is, the search unit 10 (refer to FIG. 1) of FIG. 2B may be provided in the form of a plug-in of the Internet browser of the user terminal 150 or may be provided in the form of an application that may be installed in the user terminal 150. The user terminal 150 is connected to the set-top box 100 through a local area network such as Bluetooth, WLAN, wired LAN, etc. to receive TV viewing related data or to receive TV viewing related data through the Internet such as a cloud service, and the network 500 Search using the search server 40 through). In addition, the searched results may be filtered and transmitted to the TV 200 through the set top box 100, or the filtered results may be displayed by the user terminal itself. As such, the present embodiment may be implemented in various forms and may be implemented in various configurations in addition to the schemes illustrated in FIGS. 2A and 2B.

A search process according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a search process of the search apparatus of FIG. 1.

The search process capable of blocking specific content according to the present embodiment includes the following steps. First, the content retrieval apparatus selects a filtering keyword from at least one of TV viewing-related data among TV viewing records, TV program reservation statuses, and user profiles (S10). However, the filtering category and the keyword selection process may be performed separately from the search process as shown in FIG. 3. That is, the filtering category and keyword selection process selects the filtering category and the keyword and updates the database at regular intervals or whenever the TV viewing-related data changes as described above (S5). Next, the user receives a search word (S20). After receiving the search word, the search is performed by transmitting the search word to the search server, and the searched content is transmitted (S30). After receiving the searched content, filtering is performed by referring to a predetermined filtering category and a keyword (S40). Thereafter, the filtered content is displayed to the viewer (S50).

[Example 2]

A search system capable of blocking a specific content according to another embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 4. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a search apparatus capable of blocking a specific content according to another exemplary embodiment.

The search unit 10a according to the present embodiment is characterized in using the search filter of the search server 40 without providing a filtering means in comparison with the search system of the first embodiment. When the search means 11a transmits the search term input from the user to the search server 40, the search means 11a transmits the filtering category and the filtering keyword corresponding to the search term to the search server 40 together with reference to the filtering database 14. do. At this time, the search means 11a should transmit the filtering category and the filtering keyword to the search server 40 in such a manner as to exclude from the search results. For example, a search expression may be written using an operator provided by each search server 40, but filtering categories and filtering keywords may be excluded from the search results by using an operator that excludes a specific word from the search result, such as a NOT operator. However, in this case, in order to provide the filtered search content to the user in various forms as in the first embodiment, at least two times of information should be transmitted to the search server 40. For example, the information should be transmitted to the search server 40 based on a search word and transmitted to a search result that excludes the filtering category and the filtering keyword, and to obtain a search result including the filtering category and the filtering keyword. The other components are not significantly different from those of the first embodiment.

A search process according to Embodiment 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a search process of the search apparatus of FIG. 4.

The search process according to the second embodiment is different from the first search step S30 (see FIG. 3) and the filtering step S40 (see FIG. 3). After receiving the search word from the user (S20), the search word, the filtering keyword, and the filtering category are transmitted to the search server to perform a search (S35). At this time, the transmitted data follows the rules of the filter of the search server such as the search expression. Thereafter, the filtered search content is displayed to the viewer (S50). At this time, in order to present the results filtered in various forms to the viewer as in the first embodiment, it is necessary to know what the content is filtered by the filtering keyword and the filtering category. Therefore, in the search step S35, a separate search may be added to search again only the content filtered by the filtering keyword and the filtering category based on the search word input by the user through a separate search.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the technical spirit of the present invention is not limited to the above-described preferred embodiments, and various specific content blocks are provided within the scope not departing from the technical spirit of the present invention specified in the claims. It can be implemented with possible search apparatus and methods.
