Description

Device, method and system for sorting and displaying community website search result data

The present invention relates to a social networking site, and more particularly to an apparatus, method and system for sorting display of community website search result data for a mobile communication.

The method of "searching for contacts, electronic devices and computer program products" of the Republic of China Patent Publication No. 201318458, which discloses a method, electronic device and computer program product for searching contacts, which is "receiving a geographical location to judge this" The positioning coordinates corresponding to the position of the theorem, and calculating the number of times each contact person performs landmark positioning on the above-mentioned positioning coordinates, and outputting at least one contact person according to the number of landmark positioning times of these contacts", see the diagram of the patent application specification 1.

If the user browses a nearby member of the online website (On-Line) of the social networking site in the same place (for example, at home) according to the method of the prior art, the user searches for a member under the same conditions. The database, even at different points in time, as long as the search conditions are the same, each time the search results are more or less repeated, causing the illusion that the "looks" are similar in the eyes of the user. For example, if a user searches for an online member of a social networking site at home, if there are about 50 members in the vicinity, the results will be displayed in the same order after each search, although each search result is due to some members. There are differences when they are not online or new members are added, but each time the search result is a high percentage of members who are repeatedly displayed, for example: users are "male", "30 to 35 years old", ""Single","online","nearby" (ie, centered on the user's geographic location, with a certain distance as the radius, and all within the range are nearby) are searched for conditions, and the search results are sorted by distance. Based on the distance (that is, the closer the user is to the front), the search result displayed on the first day is {Member 001, Member 003, Member 004, Member 006, Member 008, Member 009, Member 010, Member 012, Member 019, member 022, member 028}; the next day to search on the same conditions and also sorted by distance, the results displayed are { Member 001 , Member 003 , Member 005, Member 006 , Member 008 , Member 010 , 011 members, 012 members, 013 members, 015 members, 019 members, 021 members, 022 members, 027 members}. The bottom line of the search results displayed on the second day is the so-called "repeated display member", which also explains why the search results of the technology can make the user feel "looking" similar. In other words, each time the user searches the member database under the same conditions and sorts the display under the same conditions, it will waste a lot of time on the "repeated members" that have been viewed before.

The search criteria mentioned above, where "online" indicates that the current status is connected and has been logged into the community website. This condition is usually one of the preset conditions for the search, that is, the user does not have to enter this condition during the search. It will be automatically filtered. Moreover, when the user uses a "geographical location" as a search condition (such as "nearby" or "city"), and finally when displaying the search result, the preset is usually based on the distance and distance (the closer the person is.) front).

In summary, when the technology sees a geographical condition to search the member database under the same conditions, the displayed result cannot exclude the "repeated member" that has been browsed before. This means that the community search technology lacks a technology that excludes “previously viewed materials”. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a technique for sorting and displaying the results of community website search results to exclude previously viewed materials. The user's convenience of operation makes the human-machine interface of the community website search more perfect and emphasizes human interaction and avoids unnecessary time waste.

In view of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a device, a method and a system for sorting and displaying the social network website search result data, so as to prevent the user from wasting unnecessary time on the previously browsed data, allowing the user to pick up the last time. After browsing the data, continue to browse the rest of the search results.

The present invention provides a device for sorting display of community website search result data, which is applied to a mobile communication device, comprising: a positioning module, a browsing recording module, a data transmission module and a display module. The positioning module generates a geographic location information. The browsing record module generates a browsing history based on the member information that the user has browsed. The data transmission module downloads the first search result or the second search result from the server of the social networking website, and the first search result and the second search result are composed of a plurality of member materials, and upload the browsing record and a search condition, and search The condition contains at least the geographic location information. The first search result is the member data that meets the search condition, and the second search result is to display the browsed member data in the last display. When there is no browsing record (the browsing record is empty), the data transfer module downloads the first search. As a result, when there is a browsing record (the browsing record is not empty), the data transfer module downloads the second search result. The display module presents the first search result or the second search result on a screen of the device.

The social network website search result data sorting display device of the present invention is the mobile communication device, and can be set in a laptop (Laptop/Notebook Computer), a tablet computer (Tablet), and a smart phone (Smart Phone). As for the community website search result data sorting display method of the present invention, it is applied between the server and the mobile communication device.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a system architecture diagram and a functional block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the diagram only lists the core modules related to the present invention, and the remaining modules are omitted and not depicted. The illustration illustrates a system of the present invention comprising a mobile communication device 10 at the user end (i.e., the community website search result data sorting display device of the present invention), and a server 24 and member database 28 on the server side. The mobile communication device 10 includes a positioning module 14, a display module 22, and a community application 12. The community application 12 includes a browsing record module 16 and a data transfer module 18. The location module 14 generates a geographic location information, and the location information may be in the form of a set of location coordinates or a geographic location name (eg, a city name). The browsing record module 16 generates a browsing record based on the member information (possibly single or multiple) that the user has browsed. The data transfer module 18 downloads data from the server 24 and uploads the data to the server. The downloaded data includes a first search result or a second search result generated by the community website for searching, the first search result and the first search result. The second search result is composed of multiple members' information. The uploaded data includes a browsing data and a search condition, and the search condition includes at least geographical location information. The display module 22 presents the program executed screen on the screen of the mobile communication device 10.

The server 24 includes a search module 26, a sorting module 20, and a member database 28. The search module 26 generates a first search result based on the search criteria and the member database 28. The member database 28 can be set on the same device as the server 24 or on a different device, and the member database 28 stores all member materials of the community website. The sorting module 20 reorders the first search result according to the browsing record, and generates a second search result. The method of reordering is to put the browsed member data at the end, which is the main technical feature of the present invention.

The browsing record module 16 of the present invention is responsible for storing the member data viewed by the user into a browsing record when executed. It stores member data in an array format, which can be a table in one of the databases or a file in the file system. There are two ways to record the browsing records stored in the mobile communication device 10: one is to record only the current browsing history of the member data that has been browsed by the current connection (hereinafter referred to as the current type), and the member database 28 of the server side. Record the complete accumulated data; secondly, accumulate the cumulative browsing history of all the member materials that have been viewed (hereinafter referred to as cumulative), and arrange the recently viewed member data at the end of the array. Regardless of the manner in which the mobile communication device 10 browses records, both records on the server side are complete accumulated data. For example, a second cumulative data arrangement is described in which the member information that has been recently viewed is recorded in the chronological order at the end of the browsing history. For example, the member information that the user viewed on the first day is {Member 001, Member 003, Member 004, Member 006, Member 008, Member 009, Member 010, Member 012, Member 019, Member 022, Member 028}, when the first When the search results displayed in the second day include the members who have visited the first day, the member information of the first day is placed at the end, and the order is [Member 005, Member 011, Member 013, Member 015, Member 021, Member 027, member 001, member 003, member 004, member 006, member 008, member 009, member 010, member 012, member 019, member 022, member 028]. Assume that the member information viewed by the user on the next day is {Member 005, Member 011, Member 013, Member 015, Member 021, Member 027}, then the member data in the cumulative browsing history is sorted = [Member 001, Member 003, Member 004, member 006, member 008, member 009, member 010, member 012, member 019, member 022, member 028, member 005, member 011, member 013, member 015, member 021, member 027], ie "second The member information that has been viewed in the day is listed after the "member information that was viewed on the first day". As for the current browsing history, it is [Member 005, Member 011, Member 013, Member 015, Member 021, Member 027]. The braces ({}) in this specification are used to represent a set (A Set), and the brackets ([]) are used to represent an array, and the browsing record module 16 of the present invention does not mean that the brackets are recorded in Browse the record.

Referring to FIG. 2, a block diagram of a system component of a device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. The legend only lists the core modules associated with the mobile communication device 10 of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the remaining modules are omitted. The mobile communication device 10 (ie, the community website search result data sorting display device of the present invention) includes a positioning module 14, a display module 22, a processor (ie, a short for the central processing unit) 30, a memory 34, and a network. Road communication module 32. The positioning module 14 generates a geographic location information according to the current location; the network communication module 32 establishes a mobile communication network; and the display module 22 displays the interface (screen) of the community application 12 and performs touch control. Function (touch panel); the memory 34 stores a community application 12; the processor 30 is responsible for executing the community application 12 in the memory 34, and controlling the positioning module 14 and the display module 22 to communicate with the network. The operation of module 32.

Referring to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, a schematic diagram of a community application according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated by taking Apple's iPhone smart phone style as an example, which illustrates that the community application 12 of the present invention is presenting. The search results are represented by a thumbnail 36 (Thumbnail, a thumbnail of the photos uploaded by the member) and a member nickname/account representative. In the illustration, “Member 001”... “Member 028” means a member nickname/account number, not a member number. The eleven thumbnails in the legend represent eleven different members. The ordering rules of the thumbnails 36 are based on the distance and the closer they are. The user clicks on a thumbnail of a member to enter the detailed personal information of the clicked member, for example, to view more photos of the member. Figure 3A shows that after the user uploads a search condition at a certain point in time, the display module 22 presents the first search result on the screen because there are no members who have browsed, for example, the first use of the community application. 12. Do the first search with new conditions, or manually clear the previous browsing history (through a setting view, not depicted). Figure 3B shows that after the user uploads the search conditions identical to the previous time point at different time points (for example, the next day), the display module 22 presents the second search result on the screen, which was viewed the previous time. The thumbnail 36 (that is, the member information shown in Figure 3A) is placed behind the new material. The vertical scroll 38 on the right is used to indicate the position of the information presented on the screen. The vertical scroll 38 in the illustration is located above the screen to indicate that there is still information not displayed at the bottom.

In the same example as described above, if the user uploads the search condition by using the data transfer module 18 on the first day: "male", "30 to 35 years old", "single", "online" and "nearby" to the servo. The device 24 searches the matching data in the member database 28 through the search module 26, and the search module 26 generates a first search result based on the matched data. The first search result is {Member 001, Member 003, Member 004, Member 006, Member 008, Member 009, Member 010, Member 012, Member 019, Member 022, Member 028}. Since the user uses the community application 12 for the first time, there is no previous browsing history (the browsing history is empty), the sorting module 20 does not need to operate, and the data transfer module 18 directly downloads the first search result, and then the display module 22 present the first search result on the screen as shown in Figure 3A. After the user browses the first search result, the browsing record module 16 records the browsed member data in the browsing record (the browsing record is not empty). The two recording methods (the current browsing member information and the complete accumulated browsing member information) on the mobile communication device 10 are all [Member 001, Member 003, Member 004, Member 006, Member 008, Member 009, Member 010, member 012, member 019, member 022, member 028].

Then, the user checks the matching members again under the same search condition on the next day, and assumes that the first search result generated by the search module 26 according to the met data is {Member 001, Member 003, Member 005, Member 006, Member 008, member 010, member 011, member 012, member 013, member 015, member 019, member 021, member 022, member 027}, the sorting module 20 reorders the first search results according to the browsing history to generate a first Second search results. The method is to move the same search result in the first search result to the back of the data, and the second search result generated after reordering is {member 005, member 011, member 013, member 015, member 021, member 027, member 001, member 003, member 004, member 006, member 008, member 009, member 010, member 012, member 019, member 022, member 028}. When the second search result is downloaded to the community application 12, the result display is as shown in FIG. 3B.

When the sorting module 20 of the present invention reorders the first search results, the array that is closer to the time point in the browsing record is placed behind the display. For example: when there are three chronological rules in the browsing record, the first record, the second record and the third record are generated. After the user searches for the member database 28 under the same conditions for the fourth time, the ordering mode is used. The second search result generated by the group 20 is in the order of display of the new data, the first record, the second record, and the third record. That is, the same browsing order is used for the cumulative browsing record of the browsing record module 16 of the present invention.

The browsing record stored on the server side after uploading may be one of the data in the table or the file system. When stored in the form of the SQL database, the sorting module 20 of the present invention can sort the data by SQL syntax, and the following is Microsoft SQL. The syntax supported by Server is an example to illustrate: SELECT DISTINCT a.UID, LAST_BROWSED_USER = CASE WHEN b.UID IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 ENDFROM TB_LOG aLEFT JOIN (SELECTDISTINCT UID FROM TB_LOG WHERE LOGDAY='20131126') b --Browse Record ON a.UID = b.UIDWHERE a.LOGDAY='20131127' -- first search result ORDER BY LAST_BROWSED_USER ASC, a.UID

The last order of the above examples is to display the member records in the browsing record at the end. In actual operation, the field should be sorted with a "distance" at the end (so that the closer the distance is, the more the front is displayed. ).

Referring to Figure 4, an operational flow chart of an embodiment of the present invention. Explain the operation process of the user executing the community application 12 of the present invention and uploading search conditions to download and browse the member data that meets the requirements. The following example process assumes that the user is the second time (ie, the second day of the example above) For the same conditions (including the same geographical location information), please refer to Figure 1, Figure 3A and Figure 3B, including the following steps:

Step S101: Execute a community application, that is, execute the community application 12 of the present invention on the mobile device 10 on the client side.

Step S102: Establish a network connection with a server. After the community application 12 of the present invention is executed, a network connection is established with a server 24 of a social network server, which is a mobile communication network or a wireless network, such as GPRS. 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, Wi-MAX...etc.

Step S103: Generate a geographical location information. The location module 14 of the mobile communication device 10 generates a geographic location information based on the current location.

Step S104: uploading a search condition, a browsing record, and the geographic location information. The data transfer module 18 uploads a search condition, a browsing history, and the geographic location information to the server 24 to find eligible members. The search conditions are, for example, "male", "30 to 35 years old", "single", "online" and "nearby"; and the browsing history is a browsing record module 16 that records the member information that the user has viewed before. Assume that the browsing history uploaded in this step is the following type: [Member 001, Member 003, Member 004, Member 006, Member 008, Member 009, Member 010, Member 012, Member 019, Member 022, Member 028] .

Step S105: Search the database and generate a first search result. After uploading the data, the search module 26 searches for a member database 28 based on the search condition and the geographic location information, and generates a first search result. Assume that the first search result is {Member 001, Member 003, Member 005, Member 006, Member 008, Member 010, Member 011, Member 012, Member 013, Member 015, Member 019, Member 021, Member 022, Member 027}.

Step S106: Check whether there is a browsing record. After the first search result is generated, the server 24 must know whether there is a browsing record. If not, the process jumps to step S107, and if yes, the process jumps to step S108 to reorder the sorting module 20.

Step S107: Download the first search result. The data transfer module 18 downloads the first search result to the community application 12.

Step S108: Generate a second search result. The sorting module 20 loads the browsing record, reorders the first search results according to the browsing history, and generates a second search result. The method is to move the same search result in the first search result to the back of the data, and the second search result generated after reordering is {member 005, member 011, member 013, member 015, member 021, member 027 , Member 001, Member 003, Member 004, Member 006, Member 008, Member 009, Member 010, Member 012, Member 019, Member 022, Member 028}.

Step S109: Download the second search result. The data transfer module 18 downloads the second search result to the community application 12.

Step S110: Display the first search result or the second search result. The first search result downloaded by the display module 22 in step S107 or the second search result downloaded in step S108 is presented on the screen by the display module 22. This process is based on the example of displaying the second search result (previously having a browsing history), as shown in FIG. 3B.

Step S111: Browse the data and record it to the browsing record. The user scrolls up and down using the vertical scroll 38 to browse the member information on the screen. At the same time, the browsing record module 16 records the member data that the user has viewed this time into the browsing record in the aforementioned current or cumulative manner.

For convenience of explanation, the examples in the above process use only a very small number of members. In actual operation, the number of first search results generated by the search module 26 may be several times or even hundreds of times. The greater the number of first search results and the more user information the user has viewed, the more important the technical problems solved by the present invention are highlighted.

In summary, the device, the method and the system for sorting and displaying the social network website search result data disclosed by the present invention, when the user searches the member database under the same conditions at different time points, the previously visited members will be Displayed at the end of the data to improve user convenience and avoid unnecessary time wastage.

Although the technical content of the present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and any modifications and refinements made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention are encompassed by the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is therefore defined by the scope of the appended claims.
