The method for providing the searching system comprises: a step in which the searching system takes, as an input, a search keyword from a user terminal; and a step in which the searching system provides the user terminal with a content corresponding to at least a portion of the search keyword, wherein the step in which the searching system provides the user terminal with a content corresponding to at least a portion of the search keyword is performed before the search system receives a search request from the user terminal.

Description

Search system and its provision

The present invention relates to a search system and a method of providing the same. More specifically, before a search keyword is input and a search request is received, at least a portion of the currently input search keyword is used to immediately display predetermined content (eg, an advertisement). A system that can be provided to a user and a method of providing the same.

With the development of the Internet, many people have access to wired and wireless Internet, intranet, or various other networks to consume a lot of information or to produce or provide information. The amount of information consumed in such various networks is so large that most of the information that users do not want is distributed. Therefore, users use various search services to search and / or consume only the information they want.

Search services are provided through various search sites or search applications that provide search services.

In a conventional method using a search service, when a user who wants to perform a search inputs a search keyword into a predetermined UI provided by a search site or a search application through his terminal, and requests a search through the predetermined UI, the search request is performed. The search system that receives the search returns a search result by performing a search in the network or the system.

1A is a diagram for explaining a conventional search service. As illustrated in FIG. 1, a user may access a specific site providing a search service and input a search keyword that the user wants to search in the keyword UI 10. When the search request UI 20 is selected (for example, click or enter), the search request is transmitted to the predetermined search system together with the search keyword. The search system then performs a search using the search keyword and returns the search result to a predetermined web client (or application) installed in the user terminal.

Meanwhile, various technical ideas of providing advertisement content to a user together with a search service are widely known. The reason why the advertisement is provided together with the search service is that the search keyword used to use the search service is used for targeting the advertisement to perform an efficient target advertisement. That is, in the case of providing a random advertisement to an unspecified number of people, the efficiency of the advertisement is low because there are many targets who are not interested or not appropriate to the subject, product, or service that the advertisement wants to promote. However, a user who inputs a search keyword may be a user who is interested in the advertisement or is likely to use a subject, a product, or a service to be promoted by the advertisement when providing an advertisement related to the search keyword. Therefore, the target rate of the advertisement may be high or the effect of the advertisement may be increased.

1B is a diagram illustrating a conventional search advertisement. Referring to FIG. 1B, when a user inputs a predetermined search keyword into the keyword UI 10 using a client (eg, a web browser) and makes a search request using the search request UI 20, as shown in FIG. 1A. The search system may return the results as shown in FIG. 1B to the client. As shown in FIG. 1B, predetermined advertisement contents (eg, Ad 1 and Ad 2) corresponding to the search keyword may be exposed in one region of the client, and actual search results using the search keyword may be exposed in other regions. Can be. The advertisement content may be various, such as an image, text, a link, a video, and / or a banner.

The advertisement content corresponding to the search keyword may be predetermined. In general, the advertisement content corresponding to the search keyword may be determined through bidding, or an area or order in which a plurality of advertisement contents are exposed may be determined.

As such, a search advertisement using a search keyword is widely used, but a search advertisement provided by a conventional search system requires a search keyword and a search request, but an advertisement corresponding to the input search keyword is exposed. In other words, after the search request via the search request UI 20 is received by the search system after the search keyword, the search system provides the advertisement contents to the user.

However, if an advertisement is an advertisement desired by the user, it may be inefficient to provide the advertisement page or the detailed advertisement to the user by providing a plurality of advertisements to the user and selecting the advertisement among the advertisements.

In addition, as long as advertising content corresponding to each of the search keywords is predetermined, exposing the advertising content after the search request must be inefficient and not immediately.

Therefore, while entering a search keyword before a search request, a particular advertisement is already exposed to the user among a plurality of advertisements, and the specific advertisement page may be immediately displayed when the user performs a predetermined action (eg, a search request). Technical thought is required. That is, when a search advertisement is exposed as described with reference to FIG. 1B, in order to consume the actual advertisement, the user may need to select the advertisement and / or the link of the advertisement (eg, Ad 1) once more. This is because in the case of the conventional search advertisement, the advertisement content is exposed when the search result is returned after the search request, so the advertiser needs to go through the step of selecting the search request and the advertisement or advertisement link provided as a result. Inflows can be made. However, if a predetermined content is immediately exposed while entering a search keyword, if a web page corresponding to the exposed content exists, it is effective for the user's client to move directly to the web page in response to the search request. Can be. Therefore, a technical concept may be required in which a search result page may not be loaded in response to a search request, but may be directly loaded into a predetermined web page corresponding to the exposed content.

In addition, when the input of the search keyword is completed, a technical idea that a predetermined content is exposed to users is required immediately.

Accordingly, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to immediately load the page corresponding to the content when a search request or a predetermined signal is input while the content corresponding to the current search keyword is exposed. It is to provide a system and method that does not require the web page to be moved in several steps.

The present invention provides a system and a method for immediately exposing a search keyword or a content corresponding to a part of the search keyword before a search request is made.

In addition, by providing a content corresponding to a portion of the search keyword using the auto-complete function, to provide a system and method that can immediately leak the content corresponding to the search keyword to the user before the search keyword is input in advance will be.

For example, the module may mean a logical unit of a predetermined code and a hardware resource for performing the predetermined code, and does not necessarily mean a physically connected code or a kind of hardware. Can be easily inferred by the average expert in the art.

The search system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an input module 120 for receiving a search keyword output from the user terminal 200 and at least a part of the search keyword received by the input module 120. And a control module 110 for providing corresponding contents to the user terminal 200. When the search system 100 is installed in a predetermined search server that performs a search, the input module 120 may directly receive the search keyword input from the user terminal 200 or the search system ( When 100) is implemented as a physical device separate from the search server, the search keyword may be received from the search server. At this time, the input module 120 receives the spelling in real time whenever the user inputs a spell constituting the search keyword in a predetermined keyword UI (eg, the absence number 10 of FIG. 1A) for inputting the search keyword. can do. For example, if the search keyword that the user wants to input is 'google', the user may use 'g' and 'o'. 'o', 'g', 'l', and 'e' may be sequentially input to the keyword UI 10. Then, the input module 120 may receive the spelling whenever each spell is input. Then, the control module 110 may provide the content to the user terminal 200 before receiving a search request from the user terminal 200. The content may be reproduced in a predetermined content area (eg, 30 or 30-1 of FIG. 3). That is, in the conventional search service, when a search keyword is input to the keyword UI 10, and a search request is received from the user through the search request UI 20, the content corresponding to the search keyword is displayed. Provided to the user terminal 200. However, the search system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention immediately displays a predetermined content (eg, an advertisement) while the search keyword is input before the search request is received or when the search keyword is completed. It may be provided to the user terminal 200. That is, certain content (e.g., advertisements) is not displayed with the search results, but at least a portion of the search keyword (i.e., the portion entered so far or the autocomplete keyword determined by the portion) before the search results are displayed ) Corresponding to content (eg, advertisement) may be exposed to the user. Therefore, when a user does not want a search result using a search keyword but wants to search for a predetermined advertisement, the user can obtain a desired advertisement much more quickly and immediately.

Referring to FIG. 3, the control module 110 of the search system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include content corresponding to at least a portion of a search keyword (eg, before a search request is received from the user terminal 200). Advertisement) may be provided to the user terminal 200. The content (eg, an advertisement) may be played in a predetermined content area (eg, 30, 30-1). The content area (eg, 30, 30-1) may be disposed in a predetermined area (eg, 30, 30-1) adjacent to the keyword UI 10 displayed on the user terminal 200. In FIG. 3, an example in which the content area is disposed above (eg, 30-1) or below (eg, 30) of the keyword UI 10 is described as an example, but is disposed on the left or right side of the keyword UI 10. Of course it can be. In addition, the content area (eg, 30, 30-1) may be implemented to be disposed away from the keyword UI 10 by a predetermined distance. The content area (eg, 30, 30-1) may be visualized only when there is predetermined content to be played in the content area (eg, 30, 30-1). In addition, when the keyword UI 10 is implemented in various shapes other than a rectangular shape as illustrated in FIG. 3, the shapes of the content areas (eg, 30 and 30-1) may be variously implemented. Meanwhile, the content area (eg, 30, 30-1) may be disposed in any area of a predetermined client where the keyword UI 10 is displayed. Preferably, the keyword UI 10 may be disposed near the keyword UI 10 so as to be immediately visible while the user inputs the keyword. As such, by exposing specific content (eg, an advertisement) to a position adjacent to the keyword UI 10, the user's attention to the content (eg, an advertisement) can be enhanced. This is because, while the user inputs a search keyword, the user pays attention to the keyword UI 10 to determine whether the search keyword inputted by him or her is correctly inputted or no typos. Therefore, by exposing the content (eg, an advertisement) to an area adjacent to or adjacent to the keyword UI 10, the user may naturally view the content (eg, an advertisement). In particular, according to the technical concept of the present invention, since the content is exposed while the search keyword is input, the content (for example, the advertisement) is exposed in the vicinity of the keyword UI 10, so that the content (for example, the search keyword is input). Advertisement) is a natural effect to see.

A method of providing a search system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4E as follows. First, according to a conventional search service, when a user wants to perform a search with a search keyword of 'google', the search keyword is sequentially input to a predetermined keyword UI 10, and the search request is transmitted to a search server. Search results corresponding to the keyword and certain content (eg, advertisements) are provided to the client.

However, according to the method for providing a search system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4A, when a user inputs a part of a search keyword (for example, google) (for example, go) into the keyword UI 10. Predetermined content (e.g., Contents A) may be immediately played in the predetermined content area (e.g., 30, 30-1). That is, when contents corresponding to 'go' exist in the contents DB 200, the search system 100 immediately sends the contents Contents A when 'go' is input to the user terminal 200. It can be provided to the client to be played in the content area (eg, 30, 30-1).

In this case, the content corresponding to a portion (eg, 'go') of the search keyword may be content (eg, Contents A) corresponding to the search keyword. Another embodiment of the content corresponding to a part of the search keyword (eg, 'go') will be described later with reference to FIG. 5.

Thereafter, when the user further inputs 'o', the content corresponding to 'goo' may not exist. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 4B, no content may be played in the content area (eg, 30 and 30-1).

Thereafter, when the user further inputs 'g', contents corresponding to 'goog' may exist. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 4C, contents B may be reproduced in the contents area (eg, 30, 30-1).

In addition, when the user further inputs 'l', content different from 'googl' may not exist. Then, as shown in FIG. 4D, no content may be played in the content area (eg, 30 and 30-1).

Subsequently, when the user further inputs 'e', there may be contents corresponding to 'google' (Contents C). Then, as illustrated in FIG. 4E, contents C may be reproduced in the content areas (eg, 30 and 30-1).

As a result, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, while a user inputs a search keyword before making a search request, content (eg, an advertisement) corresponding to at least a portion of the search keyword may be immediately exposed to the user. Therefore, conventionally, a search request is output to a search server, and after a search is performed, predetermined content (eg, an advertisement) corresponding to the search keyword is exposed to the user along with the search result, but according to the technical idea of the present invention, There is an effect that the content (eg, advertising) corresponding to the search keyword can be immediately exposed to the user without performing the.

In addition, although the content corresponding to a portion of the search keyword (eg, Contents A or B) that is not a search keyword that the user wants to input is exposed to the content area (eg, 30, 30-1), the portion of the search keyword Corresponding content (eg, Contents A or B) becomes un-visible again when the spelling is additionally input, so there may be no inconvenience for the user.

On the contrary, according to the technical concept of the present invention, a content corresponding to a portion of the search keyword, for example, Contents A or B, that is not a search keyword that the user wants to input is exposed, and the content (for example, Contents A or B) is exposed. In case of interest to the user, when the user selects the content area (eg, 30 and 30-1) or outputs a search request immediately as described below, the user can obtain information about the corresponding content (eg, Contents A or B). There is also a more effective effect. That is, if a content corresponding to a keyword not intended by the user (for example, Contents A or B) fails to attract the user's attention, the content becomes immediately unvisible or other content is exposed. For example, since the user can consume Contents A or B), while providing a plurality of contents (e.g., advertisements) to the user while inputting one search keyword, the user is relatively inconvenient, and various contents (e.g., advertisements) are provided. ) Is effective. In addition, in the present specification, for the convenience of description, a case where the search keyword is an English letter is described as an example, but the average expert in the technical field of the present invention can easily infer that the technical idea of the present invention can be applied to all types of languages. You can do it.

On the other hand, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the control module 110 of the search system 100 before the search request, the auto-complete using the autocomplete function to determine the content corresponding to at least a portion of the search keyword You can also use keywords. That is, as described with reference to FIG. 4, the control module 110 may determine the content corresponding to a portion of the search keyword (eg, 'go') as the content corresponding to the portion of the search keyword (eg, 'go'). However, the content corresponding to at least one of the autocomplete keywords corresponding to a part of the search keyword (eg, 'go') may be determined as the content corresponding to the part of the search keyword (eg, 'go'). As such, the technical idea of providing the user terminal with content (eg, an advertisement) corresponding to a part of the search keyword using the autocomplete keyword will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

5A to 5E, as illustrated in FIG. 5A, when a user inputs a portion (eg, go) of a search keyword (eg, google) into the keyword UI 10, the portion (eg, go) is entered. Content corresponding to (eg, Contents A) can be immediately played in a predetermined content area (eg, 30, 30-1). In this case, the content (eg, Contents A) may be content corresponding to the part (eg, go), that is, content stored in the content DB 200 to match the part (eg, go) as described in FIG. 4. The content (eg, Contents A) may be content corresponding to an autocomplete keyword corresponding to the portion (eg, go). There may be a plurality of autocomplete keywords corresponding to the portion (eg, go). For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the autocomplete keywords corresponding to the portion (eg, go) may be “google”, “god”, or “gom”. Then, the control module 110 may play content (eg, advertisement) corresponding to at least one of the three autocomplete keywords in the content area (eg, 30). If only one of the three autocomplete keywords corresponds to a content (eg, an advertisement), the corresponding content (eg, an advertisement) may be played. If contents corresponding to a plurality of autocomplete keywords exist, the contents may be played in an arbitrary or predetermined order. If there is content corresponding to the part (eg go) and content corresponding to the autocomplete keyword is also present, content corresponding to the part (eg go) may be played (eg Contents A). . Of course, the content corresponding to the autocomplete keyword may be played. Autocomplete keywords (eg, "google", "god", "gom", etc.) corresponding to the portion (eg, go) may be displayed in the predetermined autocomplete keyword UI 40.

Thereafter, when the user further inputs 'o', the content corresponding to 'goo' may not exist. Then, in FIG. 4B, no content may be played in the content area (eg, 30, 30-1), but according to another embodiment, predetermined content (eg, Contents B) is played as shown in FIG. 5B. Can be. The content (eg, Contents B) may be content (eg, Contents B) corresponding to the autocomplete keyword (google) corresponding to a portion (goo) of the search keyword (google). Accordingly, in the case of the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 5, the same or more types of content (eg, advertisements) may be played while the search keyword is input, compared to the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 4, and the content area (eg, 30, there is an effect that the length of time that any content (eg, advertising) is playing.

Also, in general, the related search term of the search keyword that the user wants to input is highly likely to be an autocomplete keyword corresponding to the search keyword. For example, if the search keyword is "google", "google korea", "google adsense", etc. may be related search terms that are highly relevant to the search keyword, which corresponds to the autocomplete keyword corresponding to "google". can do. Accordingly, when providing the user terminal 400 with content (eg, an advertisement) corresponding to an autocomplete keyword corresponding to a search keyword, as in the search service providing method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the user inputs a search keyword. Content (eg, advertisement) corresponding to the associated keyword can also be provided.

Subsequently, when the user further inputs 'g', contents corresponding to 'goog' may exist. The autocomplete keyword corresponding to 'goog' may be 'google'. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 5C, contents B may be reproduced in the contents area (eg, 30, 30-1). Of course, depending on the implementation example, the content corresponding to the autocomplete keyword (google) may be played.

When the user further inputs 'l', the content corresponding to 'googl' may not exist. In this case, the autocomplete keyword corresponding to 'googl' may be 'google'. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 5D, content corresponding to 'google' (eg, Contents C) may be played in the content area (eg, 30 and 30-1).

Subsequently, when the user additionally inputs 'e', there may be contents (Contents C) corresponding to 'google'. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 5E, contents C may be reproduced in the contents area (eg, 30, 30-1).

6 is a view for explaining the concept of the content DB according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 is a view for explaining the concept of a keyword DB according to an embodiment of the present invention. 6 and 7, the content DB 200 includes at least one keyword (go, goog, google, etc.) and at least one content corresponding to each of the at least one keyword (go, goog, google, etc.) For example, information about A, B, C, etc. may be stored. When information about the at least one content (eg, A, B, C, etc.) is stored, a file corresponding to the content (eg, A, B, C, etc.) is stored or the content (eg, A, B, C, etc.) may be used to include a case where a file path corresponding to the file is stored.

Therefore, the control module 110 searches the content DB 200 for content corresponding to at least a part of a specific search keyword in order to provide predetermined content to the user terminal 400, and if the search result exists, the content is searched for. It may be extracted and provided to the user terminal 400.

In addition, as described with reference to FIG. 5, when the search system 100 intends to provide content corresponding to an autocomplete keyword to the user terminal 400, the control module 110 may input a keyword (ie, If there is content corresponding to at least a part of the search keyword, the corresponding content is provided. If there is no content corresponding to the keyword (that is, at least part of the search keyword) input so far, content corresponding to the autocomplete keyword is provided. You may. Then, the control module 110 determines (searches) whether the content corresponding to at least a part of the search keyword exists in the content DB 200, and if it does not exist, automatically determines the content corresponding to at least part of the search keyword. It may be determined (searched) whether the content corresponding to the completed keyword exists in the content DB 200. Of course, at this time, the autocomplete keyword may be at least one. When at least one content corresponding to at least one autocomplete keyword exists, the control module 110 displays one or a plurality of contents corresponding to the at least one autocomplete keyword in the content area (eg, 30). Can be provided to the user terminal 400 for playback. When providing a plurality of contents, the client of the user terminal 400 may play each of the plurality of contents for a predetermined time and then play the next contents. According to an implementation example, the order in which the plurality of contents are played may be determined by the control module 110. Alternatively, some of the plurality of contents may be simultaneously played in different areas of the content area (eg, 30).

As shown in FIG. 6, the content corresponding to the predetermined keyword may be determined by bidding. In particular, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the content corresponding to the predetermined keyword may be used in a bidding method using a promotion rate as a bidding element. It may be determined by. Of course, bidding may be performed in other ways.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, while a user inputs a search keyword, the user may be provided with content corresponding to a part of the search keyword currently input. In this case, when there are a plurality of contents corresponding to a part of the search keyword, the control module 110 may expose only one of the plurality of contents to the content areas 30 and 30-1 in a predetermined manner. Therefore, when a user wants to view an advertisement exposed in the content areas 30 and 30-10 in detail, the user simply inputs a search request (for example, an enter) and immediately displays the content exposed in the content areas 30 and 30-1. A web page corresponding to (eg, an advertisement) may be loaded If a plurality of pieces of content correspond to at least a portion of the search keyword, a web page corresponding to any one of the contents (eg, an advertisement) is directly loaded. However, even in the case of the conventional search advertisement, the user checks the corresponding advertisement page by clicking a mouse or the like on a specific content having a high exposure priority (for example, an advertisement), and the user does not feel uncomfortable. In the case of non-page, the operation of selecting the next content (for example, advertisement) again after closing the loaded advertisement page is repeated. When there are a plurality of contents (eg, advertisements) as described above, when a user requests a search, the user immediately loads a web page corresponding to the high-priority contents (eg, advertisements) determined in a predetermined manner, and then the user loads them. If a desired web page is not desired, a predetermined action (for example, shift + enter) may be input so that a web page corresponding to the next priority content (for example, an advertisement) may be loaded immediately. Entering a search keyword by using a keyboard in the advertisement, selecting a advertisement by using a mouse by moving a hand, and a user can search the desired advertisement page much more conveniently and immediately than when the advertisement page is loaded.

Of course, in order to immediately load the next priority ad page, it may be desirable for the user to use hot keys or shortcuts that are not commonly used while browsing the web.

As such, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, while a user inputs a search keyword, the user may be provided with predetermined content (eg, an advertisement) corresponding to at least a portion of the search keyword, and the user may receive the provided content (eg, an advertisement). The web page corresponding to the user can be loaded immediately by simply entering a search request (eg, enter). If there are a plurality of contents (eg, advertisements) corresponding to at least some of the search keywords, the user may want to view a web page corresponding to other contents (eg, advertisements). Then, when a predetermined hot key or hot key is input, a web page corresponding to the next exposure priority content (eg, an advertisement) may be loaded. In this case, a new web page may be loaded in a window loaded with a previously loaded web page, or a new web page may be loaded in a new window.

Therefore, when a user wants to search a predetermined advertisement page using a search keyword, the user can be provided with predetermined advertisement information (that is, content) even before the input of the search keyword is completed. In addition, the web page can be loaded immediately without the need to select a web page corresponding to the corresponding advertisement information, and even when a user wants to view another advertisement page, the advertisement of the next exposure priority can be immediately made by using a hotkey or a shortcut key. Since the page can also be loaded, the user can easily search for the desired advertisement page by sequentially viewing web pages corresponding to the contents (eg, advertisements).

Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the keyword DB 300 may store information on keywords that are frequently used or used as search keywords. FIG. 7 illustrates an autocomplete keyword corresponding to a specific keyword (for example, go or goo) for convenience of description, but according to an embodiment, the keyword DB 300 may simply have information on a plurality of keywords. For example, the information on the autocomplete keyword corresponding to each keyword may not be maintained separately. In this case, a predetermined algorithm may be applied to find an autocomplete keyword corresponding to a specific keyword. The algorithm may simply use a method of reducing possible autocomplete keywords through comparisons for each spelling input. In particular, when keywords are sorted in the keyword DB 300, an average expert in the technical field of the present invention may find that a method for finding an autocomplete keyword corresponding to a specific keyword can be easily performed in a very short time. It can be easily deduced.

First, referring to FIG. 8A, corresponding content may exist in a predetermined keyword. At this time, the specific keyword has a high frequency of search or a high interest of the user, so that many users may want to play the content they want when the keyword is input. That is, when there are a large number of subjects who want to correspond to predetermined content with a specific keyword, a bid may be performed to determine the content corresponding to the specific keyword. Such bidding may be performed by the bidding module 130 as shown in FIG. 2.

According to the method of providing a search service according to an embodiment of the present invention, a desired content may be corresponded to a subject who pays a large amount of goods to a specific keyword. According to another embodiment, a search service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention may allow a subject providing a higher promotion rate to correspond to a desired content.

In the present specification, the promotion rate may refer to information obtained by converting a value that a business can provide to a user for a promotion, such as a discount, a coupon, an additional product, or a free gift, for a product or service having a specific value. .

For example, a plurality of subjects, that is, bidders, may exist in a search keyword of “flower”. Each bidder may correspond to a bidder terminal (eg, 501, 502, 503). Then, each bidder may transmit the bidding information to the bidding module 130 of the search system 100 using its own terminal (eg, 501, 502, 503). For example, bidder 1, bidder 2, bidder 3 may all be a subject to provide flower delivery service. Then, the bidder 1 may output the promotion rate information of 10% discount on the keyword “flower” to the bidding module 130 through the terminal 501. The bidder 2 may output the promotion rate information, such as a 10% discount and a free gift, to the bidding module 130 through the terminal 502. In this case, when an event called a free gift is added, the bidding information may further include information on how much the free gift is worth. Therefore, it is preferable that bidders input predetermined information so that information such as promotion rate including information on benefits that a business operator can provide to a user compared to the value of a real flower is calculated. For example, if the free gift has a value of 10% of the flower price, the bidder 2 may be a 20% promotion rate to be sent to the bidding module 130 as bid information.

Bidder 3 may output the promotion information to the bidding module 130 to buy one more through the terminal 503, an additional one. Then, the promotion rate bid by the bidder 3 may be 100%. Then, the bidding module 130 may determine the bidding content of the bidder 3 who has presented the highest promotion rate as the content corresponding to the keyword "flower".

Then, the content DB 200 may store information on bid content desired by the bidder 3 as content corresponding to the keyword “flower”. In addition, according to an embodiment, a plurality of contents may correspond to the keyword “flower”. For example, content desired by bidder 1, bidder 2, and bidder 3 may correspond to the keyword “flower”. In this case, the bidding content of the bidder 3 that has provided the highest promotion rate may be allocated to have the highest exposure priority, and then the bidding content of the bidder 2, followed by the bidding content of the bidder 1 is the highest exposure priority. It can be assigned to have.

When there are a plurality of contents corresponding to a keyword, a method of playing contents having a high exposure priority may vary. For example, the content having the highest exposure priority may be played for a predetermined time and the content of the next priority may be played. In some implementations, the content with the highest exposure priority may be played for the longest time. According to another embodiment, only one content is exposed at a time, and the probability of the content being exposed may vary depending on the exposure priority. For example, the content of bidder 3 may be exposed with a 70% probability when the keyword "flower" is input or determined as an autocomplete keyword, and the content of bidder 2 may be exposed with a 20% probability, The content may be exposed with a 10% probability. In addition, when there are a plurality of contents corresponding to a specific keyword and the exposure priority is determined for each of the contents, the plurality of contents may be played in various ways.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 8B, when the keyword “flower” is a search keyword or at least a part of the search keyword, content (eg, Contents 503) that the bidder 3 wants to be exposed in the content area (eg, 30) may be played. have. In addition, a predetermined area 30-1 within or adjacent to or adjacent to the content area (eg, 30) may be referred to as promotion information (eg, 'buy1, get 2') or a promotion rate (eg, '100%'). The information may be reproduced in the user terminal 400.

As such, according to the method of providing a search system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, since a content (eg, an advertisement) of an operator that can provide the highest benefit in the same product or service is exposed to the user, the user may obtain relatively many benefits. There is an effect of consuming content (eg, advertising) that can be.

Referring to FIG. 9, the bidding module 130 may receive a search keyword from the user terminal 400. Then, the control module 110 may determine whether content corresponding to at least a part of the search keyword exists in the content DB 200. In this case, the control module 110 may determine whether the content corresponding to the search keyword exists in the content DB 200 before receiving a search request from the user terminal 400 through the search request UI 20. . That is, each time the spelling of the search keyword is input one by one, the control module 110 may determine whether there is content corresponding to at least a part of the search keyword input until this time.

Then, when the content corresponding to at least a part of the search keyword exists in the content DB 200, the control module 110 in response to the search request received from the user terminal 200, The corresponding web page may be transmitted to the user terminal. That is, when a predetermined search request is received in a state where predetermined content (eg, an advertisement) exists in the content area (eg, 30), the control module 110 causes the web page corresponding to the content (eg, an advertisement). Can be loaded directly to the client of the user terminal 400. One such example is shown in FIG. 10.

Referring first to FIG. 10A, a keyword UI 10 and a search request UI 20 may be displayed on a client (eg, a web browser) of the user terminal 400 as shown. The user may input the keyword 'flower' into the keyword UI 10.

Then, the search system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may display a content (for example, "Flower Delivery. Com") in a predetermined content area (for example, 30). That is, the content (eg, "Flower Delivery. Com") may be content corresponding to the keyword "flower" or content corresponding to an autocomplete keyword corresponding to the "flower".

The content may be simple text, an image, a video, or the like. The web page corresponding to the content may be previously stored in the content DB 200 or may include a link in which the content itself is embedded. The link may of course point to a web page corresponding to the content (eg, “Flower Delivery. Com”).

Therefore, when the user inputs the keyword "flower", the content (eg, "Flower Delivery. Com") may be immediately displayed in the content area (eg, 30). In this state, when the user selects the search request UI 20 and outputs a search request to the search system 100, the search system 100 does not transmit a search result to the client, but the content (eg, , "Flower Delivery. Com") can be loaded directly to the client.

That is, if a user enters a keyword, predetermined content (e.g., "Flower Delivery. Com") is exposed, and the user immediately wants to consume the exposed content (e.g., "Flower Delivery. Com"). The search system 100 may load a web page corresponding to the content (eg, "Flower Delivery. Com") to consume content (eg, "Flower Delivery. Com"). The web page as shown in FIG. 10B may then be loaded.

Conventionally, after inputting a specific keyword, when a search request is made, the content (eg, "Flower Delivery. Com") with the corresponding search result is exposed to the user. If the user wants to consume the exposed content (eg, "Flower Delivery. Com"), the user selects the content (eg, "Flower Delivery. Com") to correspond to the content (eg, "Flower Delivery. Com"). Could access the web page that becomes. However, according to the method for providing a search system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, since a content (eg, an advertisement) can be checked while a search keyword is input, the corresponding content (eg, an advertisement) can be immediately consumed along with a search request. By doing so, it is possible to drastically reduce the access path of various steps. Of course, even when directly selecting (eg, clicking) content (for example, "Flower Delivery. Com") to be played in the content area (eg, 30), the content (eg, "Flower Delivery. Com") may correspond. A web page can be loaded into the client.

In addition, the user may be provided with predetermined content (eg, an advertisement) while inputting the search keyword, that is, before input of the entire search keyword is completed. If the content (e.g., an advertisement) is the content (e.g., an advertisement) of interest or interest before the entire search keyword is entered, the user no longer enters the remaining spelling of the search keyword, and the search request (e.g., , Enter key, or click in the search request UI). Then, the advertisement page that the user wants to view can be loaded directly on the user terminal. In particular, the search system according to an embodiment of the present invention may expose the content (eg, advertisement) corresponding to the autocomplete keyword to the content areas 30 and 30-1, so that the search system inputs the entire search keyword before inputting it. The content (eg, advertisement) corresponding to the entire search keyword to be checked may be checked in advance. Therefore, according to the technical concept of the present invention, before the entire search keyword is input, the content (eg, advertisement) corresponding to the search keyword is already provided, and immediately corresponding to the content (eg, advertisement) in response to the search request. A web page can be loaded into the user terminal.

As such, when the content (eg, an advertisement) corresponding to the search keyword exists and is exposed, the search system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention displays a web page corresponding to the content (eg, an advertisement) in response to the search request. Can be loaded However, in some cases, the user may want a search result that is not a web page corresponding to the content (eg, an advertisement) even when the content (eg, an advertisement) corresponding to the search keyword exists and is exposed. In this case, the user may transmit his / her intention to the search system 100 by inputting a predetermined search classification tag.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10E, a user may input a search keyword "flower" and further input a division search tag (eg, "/ NA"). The classification search tag may correspond to the content (eg, "Flower Delivery. Com") when a search request is made even when content (eg, "Flower Delivery. Com") is exposed in the content area (eg, 30). Rather than loading a web page, it could be a willingness to return a search result for the search keyword "flower".

Therefore, when there is no content corresponding to the search keyword in the content DB 200 as a response result, the search system 100 may return only the search result in response to the search request. For example, when there is no content corresponding to the search keyword "flower" as shown in FIG. 10C, the search system 100 responds to the search request and searches only the search results of "flower" as the search keyword to the client. Can also be returned. Then, as shown in FIG. 10D, a search result may be loaded into the client.

In some embodiments, depending on whether there is currently exposed content (eg, an advertisement) in the content area (eg, 30), and if there is no exposed content, a search result is returned (depending on the implementation, Together), if there is content being exposed, a web page corresponding to the content (eg, an advertisement) may be returned.

As a result, the search system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention provides a technical idea that content corresponding to at least a part of a search keyword may be exposed to a user before a search request is made. In addition, it is possible to provide a technical idea that a corresponding content may be changed when a plurality of spells constituting a search keyword are input. In addition, by providing the content corresponding to the autocomplete keyword, it is possible to provide the content corresponding to the search keyword that the user wants to input or the keyword likely to be the search keyword before the meaningful word is completed.
