Search tag visualization system and method thereof

The present invention relates to a visualization system, and more particularly to a retrieval tag visualization system.

With the development of the Internet, the popularity of computers and mobile phones has driven the rapid flow and accumulation of human information. The life of modern people has long been inseparable from computers and the Internet. The acquisition of information depends on the Internet. Due to the rapid growth of online information distribution and delivery, the content and information contained in it has also multiplied. The expansion of data volume has made it difficult for users to accurately find the required information. Moreover, users are not sure whether to use it. Which way and which keywords can effectively find the information they need. At present, public search engines such as Baidu, Yahoo, and Google are common search services. Users enter the "keywords" associated with the information to be searched in the search column, through powerful server and file indexing technology. The content in the target search engine database is indexed and provided to the public for query services.

This type of search is also widely used in websites, blogs and other sites to search, using the information in the website as the search object, and indexing the content in the target website.

However, in the prior art, the search method of inputting "keywords" and displaying the search results in a list manner is often inconvenient for the user; because of the huge amount of information on the Internet today, the user desires Searching for things often doesn't know which keywords to use, enabling effective, highly relevant search results. When using low-associative keywords or search criteria, because the content of the website cannot be effectively filtered, the number of search results is too large. In addition, the user is not searching for specific specific information, but is interested in the recent popular online. Information that is often used, searched, and news, because the search lacks specific keywords, users often do not know how to choose keywords, and can not get the information they want.

In order to assist users in effective online data search, the "tag cloud" search interface came into being. A tag cloud or word cloud is a visual description of a keyword used to aggregate user-generated tags or text content of a website. Labels are generally separate vocabulary, often in alphabetical order; the concept of tag cloud was first introduced in the name of "subconscious files" in Douglas Coupland's "Microsoft believers" (Microserfs) published in 1995. ) in a book. However, the tag cloud under the prior art only simply arranges the words horizontally. In the Chinese keywords, because the individual Chinese characters are highly independent, the simple horizontal arrangement is less likely to cause confusion and misunderstanding by the user; In the keyword words of the language family, if the tag cloud is simply arranged horizontally and only the adjacent tag cloud is distinguished by a space, it is easy for the user to confuse the misunderstanding. For example, when the web page displays college football, if the tag cloud is only separated by a space, The user is not sure that it is a single tag cloud (ie, a single keyword), or two different tag clouds (ie, two key words); even worse, it is difficult for users to arrange tag clouds in multiple rows. Identify whether the words at the end of the previous line and the words at the beginning of the next line are the same keyword word or have a meaningful relevance, which makes it difficult for users to use the tag cloud for effective data search. Accordingly, a search label visualization system that is novel and sufficient to address user confusion caused by conventional techniques is necessary.
