The data input / output module 705 performs a function of providing an interface for transmitting and receiving data with the web server 400, the search server 600, and the database 500.

The input module 710 serves to receive various control commands for operating the search result providing server 700 from the operator of the search result providing server 700. In addition, the input module 710 receives a command for editing, deleting, or modifying a search result page stored in the database 500 and the search result providing server DB 745.

The output module 715 is an operation state of the search result providing server 700, a processing status of a command input through the input module 710, information of various data stored in the search result providing server 700 and the database 500, and the like. It serves to display the search result providing server 700 so that the operator can check.

The memory module 720 may search for a search word input by the first user through the user terminal 100, a search result page corresponding to the input search word, various data generated in the process of making or modifying the search result page, and a search for making or modifying the search result page. It temporarily stores various data generated in the process of providing result page. When the production of the search result page is completed or the modification is completed, the memory module 720 deletes the search result page information that was temporarily stored. In addition, the memory module 720 may store a search result page production / modification program and a search result page management program.

The control module 725 performs a function of controlling all operations performed in the search result providing server 700.

The search result production module 730 provides a search result page creation / modification program for creating or modifying a search result page. The search result page production / modification program is preferably a program set in advance so that a user can easily create / modify the search result page. The search result page creation / editing program may use a dedicated tool such as a nano web editor or Dreamweaver. In addition to the above-described example, any program can be used as a search result page production / modification program as long as the second user can easily create / modify a search result page. The search result page may include various kinds of search results on the search result page. For example, a search results page may include text-based search results, image search results, table search results, and linked link search results. The type of search results that may be included in the search result page is not limited to the above-described example but may include various types of search results. The search result production module 730 links various kinds of additional functions to the search results included in the search result page. That is, when the first user selects a search result linked to the add-on among the search results included in the search result page, the search result production module 730 performs the search result and the add-on so that the add-on linked to the selected search result is performed. It works. For example, the search results included in the search result page by the search result production module 730 may be used by a first user such as an add-on for executing a web page, an add-on for playing a song or a video, a movie ticket reservation or a train ticket reservation. It can be linked with additional functions that need to check search results and perform the following steps. The additional function that may be linked to the search result included in the search result page is not limited to the above-described example, and various kinds of additional functions may be linked. In addition, the search result production module 730 serves to link the search results page and the search word. The search word linked to the search result page may be input by the first user and the second user, or may be collected through a search word collection program.

The search result processing module 735 checks whether the search result page for the search word input from the first user terminal is stored in the search result providing server DB 745 or the database 500, and if so, the search result page. Call it and give it. In this case, the search result processing module 735 may provide the search result page after modifying the search result page so as to correspond to information such as an operating system and a resolution of the first user terminal. In addition, the search result processing module 735 executes the additional function when the first user selects a search result linked to the additional function from the search results included in the search result page. In this case, the search result processing module 735 may execute the selected additional function in the search result page according to the user's setting or through another web page, but the additional function linked to the search result may be executed by the user at once. It is desirable to run within the search results so that it can be easily identified and performed.

The search result management module 740 manages a search result page. That is, the search result management module 740 manages information about the popularity, rating, production date, modification date, producer, modifier, etc. of the search result page.

The search result providing server DB 745 stores programs and data necessary for the search result providing server 700, and stores information such as a search result page. The search result providing server DB 745 and the database 500 may be formed as one.

The search result providing server 700 may further include various components in addition to the components described above, or may be omitted. In addition, the function of the search result providing server 700 is not limited to the above-described function, it can perform a variety of functions.

Below we describe in detail how to create or modify a search results page.

The search result providing server 700 checks whether it is connected to the user terminal 100 through the Internet network 200 or the mobile communication network 300. The connection method with the user terminal 100 may be connected by a connection request of a user, or may be automatically connected when power is applied to the user terminal 100. The connection state of the search result providing server 700 and the user terminal 100 is displayed in various ways through the output module 415 of the search result server 400 (S310).

The search result providing server 700 checks whether a search word is input from the first user terminal (S320).

If a search term is entered, the search term is analyzed to determine the search intention. Various methods may be used to analyze search terms to determine search intentions. For example, if the search term is 'Road to Seoul from Daejeon', the key words 'Daejeon', 'Seoul' and 'way to go' are extracted from one or more words that constitute the search term 'Road to Daejeon from Seoul'. Search intent, or divide one or more words that make up the search term 'Road from Daejeon to Seoul,' such as 'from Daejeon', 'Seoul', 'going', 'road', and 'going' and Similarly, the search intention may be determined by identifying the exact meaning so that the word having more than one meaning is connected with the meaning of the word placed before and after. As a method of determining a search intention of a search word, various methods such as semantic web technology may be used. In addition, the search word analysis may be performed in any one or more of the search result providing server 700, the web server 400 or the search server 600 (S330).

The search result providing server 700 checks whether the search result page corresponding to the search intention of the search word is stored in the search result providing server DB 745 or the database 500 (S340).

If a search result page corresponding to the search intention of the search word is stored in the search result providing server DB 745 or the database 500, the search result providing server 700 calls the corresponding search result page and provides the search result page to the first user terminal. do. In this case, the search result providing server 700 adjusts and provides a search result page according to the operating system and resolution of the first user terminal. The search result page may be provided to the first user in various ways. For example, search result pages are categorized and provided according to criteria specified by a user. For example, if the criteria specified by the user are popularity, the first user terminal is provided with a search result page having the highest popularity (S350).

The search result providing server 700 checks whether a modification request for the search result page is input from the first user terminal (S360).

The search result providing server 700 checks whether the execution request for the additional function linked to the search result included in the search result page is input from the first user terminal (S370). When the execution request for the additional function linked to the search result is input, the search result providing server 700 executes the additional function linked to the search result (S380). In this case, the search result may be linked with various kinds of additional functions. For example, a search result included in a search results page may be linked to an add-on for executing an executable file such as a video or a song, and linked to the search result by a first user requesting to execute the add-on. The video or song is played. As another example, after checking the search results in the search results included in the search results page such as movie ticket purchase, the following steps must be performed before the add-on to reserve the movie ticket can be linked, and the first user can confirm the search result. When requesting the execution of the additional function to reserve the movie ticket, the search result providing server 700 executes the additional function linked to the search result so that the first user can reserve the movie ticket. At this time, the search result providing server 700 changes the whole or a part of the search result page so that the first user can perform the next step for booking a movie ticket in the search result page. That is, the search result page may be changed by the search result providing server 700 to a movie ticket booking site for movie ticket booking, and some of the search result pages are changed to screens for movie ticket booking. May be The additional function linked to the search result is not limited to the example described above, and various kinds of additional functions may be linked to the search result.

When the termination of the provision of the search result page is requested from the first user terminal, the search result providing server 700 ends the provision of the search result page (S390).

If the search result page for the search word is not stored in the search result server DB 745 or the database 500 in step S340 (3A), request the second user to produce a search result for the search word. The request for producing a search result page may be made by a request of a first user, or may be requested when a request for producing a search result page corresponding to the same search word is more than a predetermined number of times. The production of the search result page may be requested by various second users such as experts, general members, specialized companies, and second users designated by the first user. For example, if a first user wants a professional search result page, he or she can ask a specialist who specializes in creating / editing a search result page, or create a search result page for a second user designated by the first user. You may ask. If there is no search result page for the search word, the first user terminal is provided with the search result searched by the search server 600.

There may be a cost in the process of requesting the production of a search result page. If a cost is generated in the process of requesting the production of the search result page, the cost is notified to the first user, and payment of the generated cost is performed (S410).

The search result providing server 700 checks whether the second user has accepted the production of the search result page (S420), and if the second user has not accepted the production of the search result page, the search result page production request for the corresponding second user Then, select another second user and requests the production of a search result page (S430).

When the second user accepts the production of the search result page, the search result providing server 700 provides a search result page production / modification program. The search result page creation / modification program is a program that assists a second user to create or modify a search result page. Search result page creation / modification program may be used to create a web page, such as nano web editor, Dreamweaver, Freeway. Here, in addition to the above-described example, the search result page production / modification program may be used as long as the program allows the second user to easily create a search result page.

The search result providing server 700 configures a search result page according to a command input through a search result page production / modification program (S440).

The search result providing server 700 checks whether the production of the search result page is completed (S450).

If the production of the search result page is completed, the search result page is stored in at least one of the search result providing server DB (745) or database (500) (S460).

When the request for modification of the search result page is input in step S360 (3B), the search result providing server 700 requests the second user to modify the search result page (S510).

The search result providing server 700 checks whether the second user who has requested to modify the search result page has accepted the modification of the search result page (S520).

If the second user does not accept the modification of the search result page, the search result providing server 700 terminates the request for modifying the search result page to the corresponding second user, selects another second user to correct the search result page. Request (S530).

When the second user accepts the modification of the search result page, the search result providing server 700 provides the search result page production / modification program to the second user (S540) and checks whether the modification of the search result page is completed. (S550).

If the modification of the search result page is completed, the search result providing server 700 stores the modified search result page in one or more of the search result providing server database 445 or the database 500 (S550).

Hereinafter, a method of producing or modifying and providing a search result page by the second user terminal will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6.

The second user terminal accesses the web server 400 through the internet network 200 or the mobile communication network 300, and receives a request for making or modifying a search result page from the search result providing server 700. The second user terminal may receive a production or modification request signal of the search result page directly from the first user as well as the search result providing server 700. Alternatively, the second user terminal may directly access the search result providing server 700 and check the production or modification request of the search result page requested by the first user to the search result providing server 700.

The second user terminal may accept or reject the request for production or modification of the search result page requested from the search result providing server 700. In addition, the second user terminal may confirm a search result page production or modification request requested by the first user to the search result providing server 400, and may produce or modify a search result page (S605).

The second user terminal receives a search result page production / modification program that supports the production or modification of the search result page from the search result providing server 700. The search result page production / modification program may be provided when there is a request for provision from the second user terminal, or may be provided when the second user terminal accepts the production or modification of the search result page (S610). In addition, the search result page production / modification program may be stored in the user terminal 100.

The second user analyzes the search word to produce or modify the requested search result page to determine the search intention and confirms whether the search result page corresponding to the search word is stored in the second user terminal. As a method of confirming whether the search result page is stored, a program for searching whether the search result page is stored may be used, or the second user may directly search and find the search result page (S615).

If the search result page is not stored, the second user terminal requests a search from the search server 600 to produce or modify the requested search result page (S620) and receives a search result from the search server 600. (S625). In this case, the second user may check whether the search result received from the search server 600 is a correct search result, and if the search result is not a desired search result or lacks a search result, the second user may request the search again.

The second user terminal generates or modifies a search result page through a search result page production / modification program according to an input command. At this time, the second user creates or modifies a search result page by using the search results received from the search server 600 and various data collected through online and offline such as articles and magazines. The second user may create or modify a search result page as desired by using a search result page creation / modification program. For example, the second user can specify the contents to be included in the search result page, and can designate the color, the wallpaper, the composition, and the placement position. In addition, the second user may link the search results included in the search result page with various kinds of additional functions such as an executable file and a link using the search result page creation / modification program (S630). Therefore, a search result that exactly matches the search result intended by the first user can be provided, and according to the ability of the second user, it is possible to provide even better or other search results than the first user's search intention. .

When the production or modification of the search result page is completed, the second user terminal stores the search result page and provides the search result page to the first user or the search result providing server 700 requesting the production or modification of the search result page (S635).

If the search result page is stored in step S615, the second user terminal checks whether an input for modifying the search result page is input from the second user, and if the correct input is not input from the second user, the second user terminal returns the search result page of the search result page. Providing to the first user or the search result providing server 700 requesting the production or modification (S640).

When the second user terminal has a correction input to the search result page, the second user terminal receives a search word to receive a search result necessary to modify the search result page from the second user, requests a search (S645), and receives a search result (S650). ).

The second user terminal 100 modifies the search result page according to a command input from the second user (S655). At this time, the second user modifies the search result page by using the search results received from the search server 600 and various data collected through online and offline such as articles and magazines.

After storing the modified search result page, the second user terminal provides the search result providing server 700 or the first user to request the correction of the search result page (S635).

In the above, when the creation or modification of the search result page is requested by the first user, the second user describes the creation or modification of the search result page, but the first user does not request the creation or modification of the search result page. You can create or edit a search results page for your search directly. In addition, even if there is no request for creation or modification of the search result page from the first user, the second user may select a search word to produce a search result page, and the search result page or another second user that the user previously produced By checking the produced search results page, you can correct the search result page if there is a mistake or lack. Since the content of creating or modifying a search result page is the same as the above description, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
