Description

Search device and method for pre-notifying the number of matches

The present invention relates to a search device and method for notifying the number of matches in advance, and in particular to a search system that finds matches that match each other in a predetermined condition based on search search conditions.

There are many considerations for buying real estate, such as: price, location, public ratio, ping number, living function, object type, etc. The common real estate search methods are based on the above aspects as a condition for customers to search, for example, the total search price is less than one Thousands of objects or objects in two rooms and one hall. However, the results of the objects displayed by the customer after the search are still very messy and disorderly. It still requires a lot of effort and energy to browse and filter each object one by one. The conventional search method cannot fully satisfy the customer's purchase considerations, and the worst part is that if the search conditions are too broad, in addition to spending more system resources to fetch the data, the user's waiting time will also become longer.

For this reason, in view of the lack of conventional technology, the applicant invented the present invention "a search device and method for pre-notifying the number of matches" to improve the above-mentioned deficiency.

Therefore, there is a need for a search device and method that can overcome the problems of the prior art and notify the number of matches in advance. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a search device and method for pre-notifying the number of matches. The search device for notifying the number of matches in advance includes a database, a receiving module, a searching module, and a transmission module. The database is configured to store a plurality of objects, wherein each of the objects includes at least one object feature; the receiving module is configured to receive a first search condition related to at least one object feature; and the search module is configured to By comparing the first search condition with at least one object feature, a plurality of objects matching at least one object feature and the first search condition are found, and a search result including a specific number of the plurality of objects is generated. The transmission module first allows the display device on the user side to present the specific number, and allows the user to decide whether to present the search result.

The search device for pre-notifying the matching quantity provided by the present invention can fully meet the needs of customers in the purchase of real estate, that is, the search device of the pre-notifying conforming quantity of the present invention searches in a search-first search mode, and the user enters After the search requirements, the system presents the number of search results. The user can select the number of satisfactory search results before deciding to start receiving the complete search results, because the user finds that the search conditions previously placed are too broad If it is too narrow, it will naturally give up receiving such search results, at the same time, it can reduce the meaningless information transmitted by the system, and the user can also reduce the waiting time.

The present invention will be fully understood by the description of the following embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can complete it, but the present invention can also be widely implemented in other embodiments. That is to say, the implementation of the present invention is not limited by the following embodiments and its implementation type, but should be subject to the scope of the patent application filed by the present invention.

Please refer to FIG. 1, which shows a schematic diagram of a search device for pre-notifying the number of matches according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, the search device 10 that informs in advance of the number includes a database 105, a receiving module 110, a search module 120, and a transmission module 130, wherein the database 105 stores a plurality of objects 106, and the plurality of objects 106 has At least one object feature (detailed in Figure 2). Informed in advance that the matching number of search devices 10 will interact with the external user terminal 101, and the receiving module 110 is responsible for receiving the search conditions sent by the user terminal 101, and then sends the received search conditions to the search module Group 120, and then the search module 120 compares the search conditions with the object features in the database 105, finds objects that match each other and will match, and generates a search result that includes a specific number of objects. In order to avoid the search condition being too broad or too narrow, the transmission module 130 may first allow the display device (not shown) of the user terminal 101 to present the specific number, and let the user decide whether to present the search result. For everyone, some people think that the result is 100 too many calculations, and some people think that 100 calculations are too few, so the system does not help the user to determine what is too much or too little, but the user makes Decide. The following further explains that the user decides to receive the part of the search result.

Please refer to FIG. 2 for a schematic diagram of the database of the present invention. The characteristics of the object are selected from the number of rooms, the age of the house, the floor, the type, whether there is a parking space, whether there is an elevator, whether it is near the MRT, whether it is near the park green space, and whether there is a landscape. In FIG. 2, the database 105 stores the object 106A, for example, a certain suitable house, and the object 106B, for example, a certain mansion. The object 106A has an object feature A01 such as a house age of 15 years, an object feature A02 such as a floor 20th floor, an object feature A03 such as a living function as a store, and an object feature A04 such as a public swimming pool, and the object 106A is also similarly available for sale Article S01 is similar to article S02 which is similarly available for sale. The object 106B has an object feature A01, for example, a house age of 15 years, an object feature A02, for example, a floor 15th floor, and an object feature A03, for example, a living function for the market, wherein the similar sellable objects of the object 106B are zero. Preferably, the database 105 can store data of one or more objects. Preferably, the object may have one or more object characteristics. Preferably, the similar sellable items possessed by the items may be zero or an integer greater than zero.

In order to avoid too few search results, when the search module 120 compares the search conditions with the object features in the database 105, it can also relax the objects that match each other within the predetermined conditions and match the objects. Preferably, the search module 120 finds Objects that meet each other within a predetermined condition are generated and a search result containing a specific number of objects is generated, where the specific number can be zero or an integer greater than zero.

Please continue to refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the search module 120 compares the received search conditions with the object characteristics of the plurality of objects 106 in the database 105, and finds objects that meet each other within the predetermined conditions, for example, search The condition is that the house age is 15 years, and the search module 120 compares the object features in the database 105 to find the object feature A01 of the object 106A and the object 106B is the house age of 15 years, so the object that meets the comparison condition is the object 106A With the object 106B, the search module 120 then sends the object 106A and the object 106B to the transmission module 130 to generate a search result.

In the present invention, the search module 120 performs comparison within a predetermined condition, and the predetermined condition includes (1) the search condition is a numerical value, the object characteristics are the same as the search condition, and the search result shows an object that completely matches; (2) the search condition Is a numerical value, and the characteristics of the object are different from the search conditions, the difference range is the range of the search conditions plus or minus the predetermined value, and the search results show partially matched objects; Objects; and (4) The search conditions are text, and the object characteristics are different from the search conditions, then the search results show objects that match the object characteristics and the search conditions. For example, if the search condition is the 20th floor, the search module 120 compares the object features in the database 105 with a search range of 15 to 25 with a value of 20 plus or minus 5, and then finds the object feature as the object on the 20th floor 106A and the object feature is the object 106B on the 15th floor. If the search condition is that the living function is the market, the search module 120 will find the object feature with the similar features in addition to the object 106B with the object feature and market 106A. Among them, the market, store, etc. belong to similar conditions and need to be completed in advance and build a database.

Please refer to FIG. 3 for a schematic diagram of the system search page of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the system search page 20 includes search type options 205-206, search conditions 210-211, and a search button 215. The user selects the type option and enters the search condition, and then clicks the search button 215 to send the search condition to the receiving module of the system of the present invention. Preferably, the search type option 205 and the search condition 210 are required input data, and the search type option 206 and the search condition 211 are non-essential input data. If the user wants to input multiple search data, they can click on the system search page 20 "+" to generate new search type options and search criteria fields.

Please refer to FIG. 4 for a schematic diagram of the system search page of the present invention. In FIG. 4, the system search page 20 further includes a map block 220 and a search result block 230, where the map block 220 displays the position of the search result object on the map, for example, the object 106A is indicated by the mark 221 and the object 106B It is indicated by the mark 222, and the search result block 230 displays the name of the object of the search result, for example, the object 106A is represented by the item 231 and the object 106B is represented by the item 232. For example, after the user sends a search condition such as a house age of 15 years to the receiving module of the system of the present invention, after comparing the database through the search module, the transmission module will have object features A01 such as the house age The object 106A of 15 years is, for example, a suitable house and the object 106B is, for example, a Chinese mansion and sent back to the system search page 20, where the search module will confirm whether the matching object has similar sellable objects after finding the matching object, if Matching objects that do not have similar sellable objects will be included in the non-matching objects and removed from the comparison results, that is, the search results do not display objects that meet the comparison conditions but do not have any similar sellable object information. In the example, the object 106A has a similar saleable object S01 and a similar saleable object S02, and the object 106B has a similar saleable object S01, so they are all objects with similar saleable objects that meet the comparison conditions. In addition, the search module will also The number of similar sellable objects in the objects that match the matching condition is at least to sort the objects in the search results. For example, the object 106A has more similar sellable objects than the object 106B, so the object 106A is ranked higher than the object 106B. In this way, the user can know which objects meet their search conditions and have similar sellable objects, and at the same time can preferentially select objects with more similar sellable objects.

Please refer to FIG. 5 for a schematic diagram of the system search page of the present invention. Figure 5 is a continuation of Figure 4. After the user obtains the preliminary search results, the second search condition is used to re-search in the preliminary search results. The data of the preliminary search results are already stored on the user side, so the re-search Perform a cache that will only read the user side, and will not re-access the database to reduce the burden on the database. In more detail, the search module compares the second search condition with at least one object feature of the object that matches the comparison condition in the preliminary search result, and finds the object whose feature matches the second search condition within a predetermined condition. A search result is generated that includes one of the objects that match the matching condition. If the search module compares the second search condition with at least one object feature of the object that matches the matching condition in the search result, the object feature and the second search are found If the conditions match each other within the predetermined condition, the search module removes the non-matching objects from the search result and presents the matching objects in the re-search results. For example, the user sends a second search condition such as a swimming pool, and only the object 106A has object features A04 such as a public swimming pool in the preliminary search results, so the system search page 20 places the object 106B according to the second search condition Removed from the map block 220 and the search result block 230, leaving only the matching object 106A, which is the re-search result. Preferably, if the search module compares the object characteristics of the objects in the second search condition and the preliminary search result that match the comparison conditions, no objects that match at least one object feature and the second search condition within a predetermined condition are found , The re-search results are the same as the initial search results.

The present invention is disclosed with reference to the above preferred embodiments and examples, and the reader must understand that these examples are for description rather than limitation. Anyone who knows this skill can make various combinations and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, which should still fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
