Description

Description of the Related Art [0002] A direct search system for a message on the instant messenger,

The present invention provides a message direct search support method on an instant messenger that provides a function of displaying a search result of content included in a message or accessing a corresponding site directly when a message is completely or partially selected on the messenger of the mobile terminal .

[0002] Recently, instant messengers that can exchange contents freely among users of mobile communication terminals are attracting attention. The instant messenger is a chatting service that allows a plurality of users to chat with text, voice, etc., a data transmission service that can exchange various data such as still images, video, and music with the other user, news, weather, An information providing service for providing various information of a mobile communication terminal, and a message transmission service for transmitting an SMS message to a mobile communication terminal.

Such an instant messenger is installed in a mobile communication terminal, and a user can easily use a service such as chat, data transmission, information provision, and message transmission through an instant messenger. Hereinafter, services such as chatting, data transmission, information provision, and message transmission will be collectively referred to as an instant messenger service.

The instant messenger service is generally provided in the form of a platform (WIPI) application or in the form of a terminal software application or an application. Each application provides a function to select a conversation partner by using an address book (e.g., a buddy list, etc.) which is supported by itself.

Most commonly used instant messengers are services for sending and receiving text messages, and the messages exchanged on the screen of the mobile terminal are sequentially displayed on the screen.

In particular, if a character corresponding to the form of a URL (uniform resource locator) such as "http: //", ".com", " The portion determined to be a URL is automatically set to be able to be connected through a hyper link. When the user of the mobile terminal selects the active portion by touching, the mobile terminal executes the mobile browser and moves to the address of the selected hyperlink.

In addition, when a message including a hyperlink is transmitted, not only the URL of the hyperlink but also a technique of extracting the page content of the URL and displaying the extracted content are also proposed [Patent Document 1].

However, in the conventional technology as described above, the link is linked to the site only when the URL is in the form of a URL. Therefore, since the native language address such as the Korean Internet address is not distinguished from the common word, it is determined as an Internet address, and the hyperlink can not be connected and processed.

Further, according to the related art, when the hyperlink is selected, a program such as a browser set in the instant messenger is set in advance to be executed. Or the browser designated by the operating system (OS) of the mobile terminal. Therefore, there is a problem that a large number of queries generated in the messenger can be utilized by a third party (such as a browser developer).

In addition, no other function is provided besides that a hyperlink is set for the message in the messenger. Therefore, when it is desired to obtain detailed information on a message, there is a disadvantage that it is necessary to separately execute a program such as a browser and search for the corresponding message.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the description of the present invention, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repetitive description thereof will be omitted.

First, a configuration of an overall system for implementing a method for directly searching for a message on an instant messenger according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

1, the overall system for implementing the present invention comprises a mobile terminal 10, search support systems 30a and 30b, and a web server 51 or a search server 52. [ The mobile terminal 10 further includes a network 20 such as a mobile communication network or an Internet network for connecting the mobile terminal 10 and the servers 30b, 51 and 52. In addition, the search support server 30b may be configured by adding a database 40 for storing data.

The mobile terminal 10 refers to a terminal using a wireless network (or mobile communication network) such as a smart phone. That is, the mobile terminal 10 has a built-in wireless Internet function and can perform data communication through the wireless Internet. In addition, the mobile terminal 10 has an application such as the messenger 11 and the browser 12, or incorporates such a function.

In the present invention, the terminal used by the user has been described as the mobile terminal 10, but the present invention is also applicable to a general computing terminal such as a PC rather than the mobile terminal 10. At this time, a click method or a drag method using a mouse or the like can be applied instead of an input method such as touch. The touch position corresponds to a point selection position on a screen such as a click. Also, localization can be identified by IP address. In addition, the search support client 30a communicates with the search server through a script or the like, delivers the keyword, and receives and displays the search result.

The web server 51 is a server for providing a normal web service, which is a server for operating a web site and providing contents, and the search server 51 is a server for providing a search service. The web server 51 or the search server 51 receives a request for a service such as a web page (or a web content) or a search by a uniform resource locator (URL) and transmits the result to the web page (or web content) do. At this time, the URL to be requested is referred to as a URL-type query (or a query, a URL query) in the following.

Meanwhile, the search support system 30 includes a search support client 30a and a search support server 30b.

The search support client 30a interprets the content of the message on the messenger 11 as a program or a mobile application installed in the mobile terminal 10 and displays the message on the web site 51 through the browser 12. [ (Or contents of the web server) or displays the search result of the search server 51. [ That is, the client 30a interprets the content of the message, creates a URL query for accessing or searching the website (contents of the web server), and passes the URL query to the browser 12, The user can access the web server or the search server 51 or 52 by using the URL query or receive the search result.

The search support server 30b interprets the content of the message on the messenger 11 upon request of the search support client 30a or creates a URL query for connection or search of the website and transmits it to the client 30a. Or the search support server 30b interprets the content of the message and directly accesses the search server 52 to acquire the search result. Then, the search support server 30b creates a web page (or web content) that displays the obtained search result and generates a URL query for the generated web page (or web content) and transmits the URL query to the client 30a have.

The search support client 30a and the search support server 30b work together to analyze the contents of all or part of the message on the messenger 11 to extract the keyword, The search result is retrieved by the search server 52 and displayed on the mobile terminal 10.

At this time, the client 30a transmits a URL query to the browser 12 to retrieve the content of the message on the messenger 11, to connect the URL of the content of the web site or the web server, Do it yourself. For the remaining jobs, the client 30a shares the server 30b with the server 30b according to its own performance or degree of implementation. For example, if the performance or capacity of the client 30a is large, more jobs are performed by itself, and when performance or capacity is low, more jobs are requested to the server 30b, and the results of the jobs are received and processed. Regardless of performance or capacity, the workload of the client and the server can be determined according to the implementation policy when developing the system.

On the other hand, the client 30a and the server 30b may perform the same function. For example, a client and a server can store a keyword for each category by itself to determine which category a particular keyword belongs. If the connection to the server is normal, the server determines that the connection is abnormal, It may perform the judgment operation in the client 30a. As described above, the work sharing between the client and the server can be determined according to the implementation policy, and the functions of the present invention to be described below can be applied to both the server and the client.

Meanwhile, the search support client 30a and the server 30b may further include an advertisement system that manages profit management based on advertisement and advertisement operation, or a log system that takes charge of various processing records.

The advertisement system is a system that exposes and manages advertisements in a process of providing search results for keywords and the like, and may include functions such as advertisement registration and connection. The advertisement system preferably includes information on the exposure condition of the advertisement, the ad unit price, and the like. As the advertisement, it is possible to use a banner advertisement which is widely used widely, and a search keyword search advertisement that exposes an advertisement related to a search string, and it is also possible to apply a retargeting advertisement based on information on the usage form of a visitor, a landing page .

The log system immediately stores information about the processing of the selected keyword in the message content of the messenger. Based on the data of the log system, it is possible to determine the processing method for accessing and searching directly. In addition, if the profit is generated through the advertisement operation, the data can be used as the basis for the profit distribution.

As in the case where the client 30a and the server 30b previously share the search support work, the advertisement function and the log function can be shared and processed. In particular, the client 30a can place the advertisement in the content of the browser under its own control by embedding the browser 12 or executing the browser 12 within its own control. In addition, the server 30b combines the search results by the search server 52 to create a search result web page directly and delivers the URL query of the web page to the browser 12, Can be displayed.

In addition, the database 40 classifies and stores the keyword terms by category, and stores the web site address or URL to be accessed immediately in the case of keywords (or terms) of the web site category.

In FIG. 1, the database 40 is included in the search support server 30b. However, the client 30a may include a database similar to the database 40 in the search support server 30b. That is, a database having the same function as the database 40 can be constructed and stored in the storage medium of the mobile terminal 10. Hereinafter, for the convenience of explanation, the same database will be described without distinguishing between the client 30a and the server 30b.

Next, the keywords in the message on the messenger used in the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, using the messenger 11 installed in the mobile terminal 10, it is possible to transmit and receive a text message and to communicate with the other party or a specific majority. At this time, messages written to each other are sequentially displayed on the dialog window of the messenger 11. [

The term " keyword " in the present invention refers to a web site to be accessed or a combination of a character string or a character string indicating an object to be searched. Such a string is divided into words such as ordinary nouns (hereinafter, term) or a string by a protocol.

In the third message of Fig. 2, the keywords are "mouse", "emart", "http://store.emart.com/mobile", "nonhyun dong", "cafe", "coffee"

Here, a mouse, an E-mart, a Nonhyun-dong, a cafe, a coffee, etc. are strings of nouns or words (or terms), and http://store.emart.com/mobile is a string displayed by a protocol or an internet protocol. That is, the keyword is divided into a keyword expressed by a term according to a presentation method and a keyword based on a protocol.

In particular, a keyword based on a protocol refers to a character string expressed by a certain format (or protocol), and may be a public Internet protocol or a protocol based on a special character. An example of the former is "http: // ~", and the latter example is a character string expressed using a special character ?? such as "gas station ??".

The protocol using special characters can be predetermined by the user or by the system. A protocol using special characters consists of special characters and other strings. The protocol is recognized by special characters, and the strings associated with special characters are interpreted according to predetermined rules. For example, a special character such as "?", "??", "???", "#" Special characters such as "?", "??" and "???" designate search methods such as general search and position search, and consecutive characters following special characters are recognized as search terms used as search terms. The "#" indicates position information (or map information), and can be designated by a location search using a character string attached thereto.

The above-mentioned keywords have a wider meaning than the keywords that denote a common search term. That is, in addition to a string consisting of terms, words, and the like, a string including a special character or a string represented by a predetermined protocol is included. If these strings are strings for web access or search, they are all called keywords. On the other hand, a keyword such as a word included in the keyword is referred to as a term. For example, "?? Cafe" is a keyword, ?? is a special character expressing a location search, and "Cafe" is a term. However, if the keyword consists only of terms, use terms and keywords in combination.

On the other hand, a keyword is used to access or search a specific web site, and the keyword can be classified by category according to the purpose. Preferably, the category of the keyword may be classified into a website category for accessing a web site, a location search category for performing keyword search based on location, and a general search category for general search.

Internet protocol keywords such as http://store.emart.com/mobile have their own uses. That is, the internet protocol is a keyword for accessing a web site. Also, a keyword by a special character can be defined as "?" As a general search and "??" as a location search in advance.

In addition, the keyword expressed by the term can be used according to the meaning of the term. If the term is a proper noun such as "Netpia", "Lotte Department Store" or "E-Mart", you can access the company's site. It may also be a keyword for general search by the search server if the term is "general noun" such as "travel" In addition, when the term is related to local information such as "coffee "," gas station ", "cafe ", or" flower delivery ", it can be regarded as a keyword for searching based on location.

In summary, it can be divided into a website category, a location search category, and a general search category depending on the meaning of the term.

In addition, when two different keywords (or terms) are combined, the category of the combined keyword is determined by the priority of the location search category, general search category, and website category. For example, when a term is combined with a term indicating a location (or region), it can be interpreted as a keyword related to the local information. In the example of Fig. 2, "Nonhyun-dong Cafe" is combined with a local term "Nonhyun Dong ", so it can be classified into a location search category for searching for local information. In addition, when "bag" and "store" are combined, the former is a general search category, and the latter is a location search category, so that the entire combined term (or keyword) is determined by a location search category with a higher priority.

On the other hand, it is preferable that the category of the keyword according to the above-mentioned use is converted into a database in advance. That is, terms are stored in the database 40, and terms are stored for each keyword category. Therefore, if a specific term or keyword is searched and found in the database 40, it can be confirmed which category the found term or keyword is, and the identified category becomes the category of the specific term or keyword.

Also, in the database 40, if the keyword is a website category, it includes the Internet domain address of the corresponding website. Therefore, if the keyword is found and found in the database 40, the web site address of the keyword can be obtained.

Next, a message direct search support method on the instant messenger according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the message direct search support method on the messenger according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of (a) inputting a search command for a message on a messenger (S10), (b) extracting a keyword (c) generating a URL query according to the search category of the keyword (S30), and (d) transmitting the URL query to the browser (S40).

First, a search command input step (S10) for a message on the messenger will be described in more detail.

The search command is recognized by selecting the content of the message of the messenger on the screen of the mobile terminal 10 (S10). 2, when the user proceeds the conversation by using the messenger 11 installed in the mobile terminal 10, the messenger's dialog window appears on the screen of the mobile terminal 10, A message sent to each other is displayed. At this time, if the user touches the contents of one of the messages with his or her finger, the messenger 11 recognizes the message as a search command for the message.

The manner of recognizing the search command may be any one of the following.

The first method of the search command recognizes the search command by the predetermined gesture of the touch. For example, any one of a gesture such as a double click, a circle, a straight line drawn on the left and right, or a ring shape (top of a question mark) is recognized as a search command.

As shown in FIG. 4, the second method of the search command recognizes the search command by selecting the pop-up menu. That is, when a message is touched on the screen of the mobile terminal 10, a pop-up menu is displayed, and a pop-up menu includes a search command. At this time, if the search command of the pop-up menu is selected by the user, it is recognized as a search command.

Alternatively, a menu based on the icon button may be displayed instead of the pop-up menu, and the corresponding icon button may be selected to recognize the search command.

Any search command employing the input method of the touch screen can be applied.

When the search command is input, the selected message information when the search command is recognized and the selected location on the message are input together. The information of the selected message includes not only text sentences, but also texts.

The messenger 11 passes the selected message information and the selected location to the search support client 30a.

As another embodiment (hereinafter referred to as a second embodiment), it is possible to select some of the contents of a message on the messenger when a search command is input. For example, after selecting some of the contents of the message, the user may input the search command as described above, or may select some of the contents of the message after the search command is recognized. In this case, the messenger 11 can send not only the selected message information and the selected location, but also information on the selected area of the contents of the message.

Next, the keyword extracting step (S20) of the message will be described in more detail.

When the search command is input, the keyword to be searched is extracted through the information of the selected message and the selected location (S20). That is, the search support client 30a receives the message information and the selected location selected from the messenger 11, and extracts the keyword to be searched using the received message information and the selected location.

The search support client 30a searches the contents of the message to see if there is a keyword by a predetermined protocol or a keyword identical to the keyword stored in the database.

If there is no keyword found, the client 30a informs the messenger 11 that the keyword is absent, and the messenger 11 displays a guidance message indicating that there is no keyword and notifies the user or ignores the search command.

If there is only one keyword, the extracted keyword is extracted as the final keyword.

If two or more keywords are found, one of them is selected and extracted as a final keyword. There are three methods for selecting a final keyword.

In the first method of selecting the final keyword, a keyword located closest to the selected position on the message is selected as the final keyword. That is, the keyword located closest to the touch position when the user inputs the search command is selected. This is because the user is more likely to press the touch on the keyword he / she desires.

The second method of final keyword selection may display all the found keywords and request to select one of them. For example, if there are three keywords found, all three are displayed, and one of them is selected, and the keyword selected by the user is selected as the final keyword.

The third method of selecting the final keyword is a method using both the first scheme and the second scheme, and the first scheme is applied first and the second scheme is applied again. That is, a keyword is selected as a distance, and a keyword having a short distance within a predetermined error range determined in advance is selected. In this case, it may appear that two or more keywords are within the predetermined error range and all are at the closest distance. At this time, the user can select two or more keywords of a predetermined error range in a second manner.

Examples of the extracted keywords include "mouse", "emart", "http://store.emart.com/mobile", "nonhyun dong", "cafe", "coffee" And extracted.

In the case of the second embodiment, the keyword is extracted in the selected area. That is, keywords are extracted from the contents of the message in the selected area, and when a plurality of keywords are extracted, the final keyword is selected as in the previous embodiment.

On the other hand, as another embodiment (hereinafter, the third embodiment), when a plurality of keywords are extracted, the keywords may be combined and generated as one keyword. In particular, the present invention is applicable to a case where a plurality of keywords are all keywords. For example, if two keywords "Nonhyun-dong" and "Cafe" are extracted, the keyword is recognized as "Nonhyun-dong Cafe".

Also in the third embodiment, a keyword selection method based on distance can be applied. That is, determine the maximum number of combinations or set the maximum distance in advance. The keywords (terms) closest to the touch position are selected as the maximum number or less, and all the combinations are determined as one keyword. Alternatively, all the keywords within a predetermined distance from the touch position may be combined into one keyword. Alternatively, the keywords (or terms) may be combined by limiting both the maximum distance and the maximum number of combinations.

On the other hand, it decides which search category the extracted keyword is extracted while extracting the keyword. Search categories are divided into website, location search, and general search.

Web site category refers to accessing the website directly as URL information. That is, the browser 12 refers to a search support service for accessing the corresponding website and displaying the homepage of the corresponding website.

The location search category is a search service that shows location-based search results. The position is sensed by a position sensor (GPS or the like) built in the mobile terminal 10. That is, it refers to a search category that searches for a place near the sensed position.

Finally, general search is a category that shows the results of a conventional knowledge search. Search categories such as news search, web page search, and knowledge base search for keywords.

The determination of the search category is classified according to whether the keyword is based on the protocol or the database.

First, if the keyword is a keyword by a protocol, the search category is determined by the protocol. If the protocol is a protocol that displays the website address (or domain address), then the keyword corresponds to the website category. Also, if the protocol is a protocol for a keyword for a local or general search, it corresponds to a location or general search category.

If the extracted keyword or term is included in the keyword database, the category of the keyword (or term) stored in the keyword database 40 is used. The retrieval category of the extracted keyword is determined. That is, keywords (or terms) are separately stored in the keyword database for each search category. Therefore, when a keyword is searched in the keyword database 40, the search category of the searched keyword can be known.

According to the third embodiment, when two or more keywords (terms) are combined and extracted by one keyword, the category of the combined keyword is determined according to the priority of the category of each term. That is, the category of the keyword combined by the highest priority category among the search categories of the respective keywords is determined. For example, if one of the terms of the extracted keyword indicates "local information" (or local information category), the extracted keyword may be classified as a location search category have.

On the other hand, the search category of the keyword may be directly determined by the user. Preferably, a pop-up menu listing categories with respect to the keyword is displayed in a chat window of the messenger, and a category selected in the pop-up menu is determined as a keyword category. Also, the pop-up menu may be displayed as an icon menu in which each menu is displayed by one icon button. That is, in the case of a pop-up menu, three categories are displayed in the menu, and in the case of the menu of the icon button, three icons are displayed on the screen.

Meanwhile, the search support client 30a may perform a task of extracting keywords from the information of the selected message in cooperation with the search support server 30b. For example, the client 30a may request that all the keywords to be searched are transmitted to the server 30b through the information of the selected message and the selected location to extract the final keyword. Alternatively, the client 30a may extract the keyword by the protocol itself, and may request the server 30b to extract the keyword by the database. For example, the client 30a may extract a word of a noun from the contents of the message and transmit the word to the server 30b to request the search to the keyword database. At this time, the database 40 is located in the server 30b. Alternatively, if the search support client 30a fetches the keyword database from the server 30b and stores it in the mobile terminal 10, the user himself can also perform keyword extraction by the keyword database.

Next, the step (S30) of generating the URL query according to the search category of the keyword will be described in more detail.

When a keyword to be finally searched is extracted, a URL query is generated according to the search category of the final keyword (S10). That is, the search support client 30a creates a URL query for accessing a website by a keyword or searching by the keyword. At this time, the search category of the keyword creates a URL that can perform the corresponding search according to the website category, the location search category, or the general search category. In the case of the web site category, the search URL query is the URL address of the web site of the web server 51 to be accessed. In the case of the location search or general search category, the URL of the search server including the search request query by the keyword of the search server 52 Address.

First, when the keyword is a website category, the search support client 30a or the search support server 30b generates a URL query with the URL of the domain address to which the website indicated by the keyword can be connected. In the case of a keyword according to the official Internet protocol, a string of the keyword is generated by a URL query immediately. When the keyword is a native language domain address, the native language domain server is accessed to obtain an Internet domain address corresponding to the native language domain address of the keyword. Therefore, it can be generated by URL query by Internet domain address. As another example, if the function of processing the native language domain address is included in the browser 12, the native language domain address may be directly generated by the URL query. In the example of Fig. 2, "E-mart" is a URL of a web site. In other words, E-Mart's URL query is generated as "http://store.emart.com/mobile".

Next, when the keyword is a location search category, the search support client 30a or the search support server 30b searches for a location search command URL of the search server 52 that performs location search, request and location information sensed by the mobile terminal 10 to generate a URL query.

The search server 52 is selected from among a plurality of search servers and can be defined in advance by the user or the system. The term of a keyword refers to a term such as a word or a noun included in the keyword. The position refers to the current position measured by the position sensor such as the GPS of the mobile terminal 10. For example, you can create a URL query that searches for Naver's map with "Nonhyun-dong" for the term "Cafe" as follows.

http://map.naver.com/index.nhn?query=?café & location = Nonhyun-dong

That is, a URL query is generated by combining the search request URL for the search server 52 with the terms included in the keyword as arguments of the search word.

Next, in the case where the keyword is the general search category, the search support client 30a or the search support server 30b searches the search server 52 for the normal search command URL of the search server 52, (request) to generate a URL query. The search server 52 is selected from among a plurality of search servers and can be defined in advance by the user or the system. The term of a keyword refers to a term such as a word or a noun included in the keyword. For example, a URL query to search for a general search for a mouse on the next search site is as follows.

http://search.daum.net/search?Mouse

On the other hand, the search support server 30b requests the search server 52 for location search or general search to obtain the result, and the search support server 30b generates the search result as one web page. You can also generate the URL of the generated web page as a URL query. In this case, the search support server 30b may collect and process the results retrieved from the plurality of search servers 52 and provide them. At this time, the search support server 30b can display the advertisement on the web page of the search result generated by the search support server 30b.

As in step S20, the search support client 30a can perform a job of creating a URL query jointly or in part with the search support server 30b. When the search support client 30a requests the server 30b to generate a URL query, it receives the final URL query from the server 30b.

Next, the step (S40) of transmitting the URL query to the browser will be described in more detail.

The search support client 30a executes the browser 12 installed in the mobile terminal 10 and delivers the generated URL query to the browser 12 (S40). The browser 12 receives the URL query, accesses the web site of the web server 51 through the URL query, or requests the search server 52 for a URL query, and receives and displays the search result. 5 shows an example of a screen displayed by the browser 12 when the URL query is a web site.

On the other hand, the search support client 30a can embed the function of the browser 12 and display the search result or the processing result on a screen controlled by itself. At this time, the advertisement can be displayed on the screen of the browser 12 together with the search result. The advertisement is either a banner advertisement, a keyword advertisement, or a retargeting advertisement. In particular, it is desirable to display advertisements related to terms of keywords. 6 shows an example in which a search result is displayed on the screen and an advertisement is displayed on the bottom of the screen.

Or the search support client 30a may cause the browser 12 of the mobile terminal 10 to be displayed within the screen controlled by the search support client 30a and display the advertisement on the screen of the browser 12. [

Next, a method of extracting a keyword from a message sentence in the keyword extracting step (S20) of the search command according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

First, it checks whether there is a keyword by protocol in the message sentence.

As described above, a protocol refers to a rule expressed by a certain format, and a keyword refers to a string expressed by a rule of this constant format. Protocols are classified into public Internet protocols and protocols defined in advance by special characters.

Certified Internet protocols refer to conventional Internet protocol formats such as domain names or uniform resource locators (URLs). It checks whether the string of the message sentence is a domain name or URL string. At this time, the domain name type determination can be easily confirmed by checking whether or not a dot ('.') Is included in the character string of the message. It is also possible to determine whether the character string after the dot ('.') And the dot after the dot ('.') Is an authorized top-level domain, and judge that it is a domain name if so. Alternatively, the domain name server may query the string to determine whether the corresponding IP address is responded to, and the method is not limited. The domain name judgment function may be omitted according to the system and service operation policy.

Next, the protocol defined in the special character refers to a rule that defines a specific format in advance using special characters and interprets it as defined. Determines whether the string in the message contains a dictionary-defined special character. In addition, depending on the type of the special character included in the character string, the content (or web site) may be directly connected, the location search, or the general search service may be provided.

If the string contains a special character set for direct access to the content, a query expression for direct access to the content (or web site) corresponding to the string may be generated. In this case, It is also possible to process the name and sub-content separately. Special characters for accessing websites can be input in the form of 'site name / contents' using the special character' / 'as used in conventional Internet addresses. In addition to' / ',' # ',' > 'Can be used.

On the other hand, if the keyword includes the special character for search, the search term specified by the special character is generated so that various search results for the keyword term can be transmitted to the user terminal. At this time, it is preferable to be able to intuitively transmit search meaning such as '?', '??', and ??? ??? as special characters for search, and it is also possible to use various special characters . The special character search system can be unilaterally specified in the system together with the content, and it is also possible to allow the user to designate and use a preferred search system for each individual.

If the keyword does not contain any special character, a term or keyword corresponding to the character string (or term) of the keyword is searched from the database 40. The search category is determined by the category of the keyword or term searched and found. This is as described above.

The invention made by the present inventors has been described concretely with reference to the embodiments. However, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and that various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
