In order to achieve the above object, a search result display method of a web search site according to an embodiment of the present invention is to search a web page connected to the Internet network, classify according to the corresponding content, and database the web page. A method of providing a search service for searching and outputting data corresponding to an address, the method comprising: a first step of searching for second data meeting a keyword condition among first data stored in a database by inputting a keyword to be searched in a search site; ; A second step of temporarily storing the second data when it is found; A third step of accessing each corresponding web page based on the second data and storing contents of the web page; And a fourth step of outputting the second data and the content of each corresponding web page to a user screen.

The third step may further include a fifth step of accessing each corresponding web page and deleting the corresponding data from the second data if the corresponding web page does not exist.

The second data may be limited to a predetermined number, and the first data and the second data may be URLs.

In addition, the web page may be a homepage of a website.

The second data and the corresponding web page are divided into a first frame and a second frame and outputted, so that the second data is displayed in the first frame, and the second data is moved as the cursor is moved over the second data. Preferably, the respective web page is displayed in the frame.

Here, the contents of the web page not displayed in the second frame may be stored in the user PC. Preferably, the content of the web page corresponding to one of the second data is displayed at an initial value in the second frame.

Hereinafter, a search result display method of a web search site according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, a connection state between an Internet communication network and a user PC on which the method according to the present invention is performed will be described. 3 is a diagram illustrating a system configuration including a web server, a web search server, and a user PC connected to an internet communication network, and FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the user PC of FIG. 3.

A plurality of user PCs 20, a plurality of web servers 40 and a web search server 10 are connected to the Internet communication network 30, and transmits and receives information using an IP address. The most commonly used tools for using the Internet are web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer, and can display video, images, text, and voice data.

The user PC 20 is mainly connected to the Internet communication network 30 through a modem or an ISDN modem. The web search server 10 and the web server 40 are connected by a high speed communication line such as a dedicated line. In addition, the Internet search service according to the present invention is performed by the web search server 10. That is, the user PC 20 connects to the web search server 10 (set as a server for providing a search service for convenience of description) through a communication means, and enters the keyword input field 11 as shown in FIG. Enter a predetermined keyword. When the search start command GO is clicked, the web search server 10 searches for a web page suitable for the content of the keyword and outputs the URL of the result to the user PC 10.

Conventional search result output, as shown in Figure 2 outputs only the URL of the site, according to the present invention, after the search results are output, access the web page or the home page corresponding to the URL of the search results, the web page Will save the contents of. This process is preferably performed in the web search server 10, which is not performed on the user PC and has a fast web access speed.

If the web page does not exist while accessing the output URL, the web search server 10 deletes the URL from the output result. In this case, since the user is not connected to a nonexistent web page, the search result has a more accurate advantage.

The web search server 10 transmits the contents and output results of the stored web page to the user PC after the connection with the URL according to the search result is completed. The user PC 20 outputs the output result transmitted from the web search server 10 on the monitor 28 of the user PC 10 using a web browser. At this time, the transmitted web pages and data are temporarily stored in the memory 22 or stored in the HDD 26.

FIG. 7 shows an example of an output result according to the present invention displayed on the monitor 28 of the user PC 20.

Referring to FIG. 7, it can be seen that a screen of a web browser outputs a conventional output result of recording a URL as a search result output and a web page corresponding thereto. At this time, not all web pages are output, but only one web page of a specific URL selected by the user is output. The web page switching is preferably configured such that as the user moves the mouse cursor, only the contents of the web page corresponding to the inverted output result are automatically displayed on the divided frames of the web browser without clicking.

A process of displaying the above search results will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 and the web browser screen states of FIGS. 4 to 7.

For example, the user accesses the web search server 10 of the web search site through the Internet communication network 30 using the user PC 20 (S1), and enters the keyword input field 11 as shown in FIG. Enter "patent" as a keyword and start searching (S2).

The web search server 10 searches for a data (hereinafter referred to as "data") in the database having the contents corresponding to the entered "patent", and then outputs "n" as output results (hereinafter referred to as "data"). do. Here, the first and second data may be a URL or a representative string thereof (for example, the "Patent Office").

The second data is not directly transmitted to the user PC 20, but is temporarily stored in the memory unit embedded in the web search server 10 (S3).

After the second data is stored, the web search server 10 accesses the web address (URL) of the second data and stores the contents of the web page if the web page actually exists (S4, S6). In this case, the webpage may be a homepage of a website. And, since the speed of the web server 10 is fast, it is preferable to perform it directly in the web search server (10).

If the web page corresponding to the second data does not exist, the corresponding URL is deleted from the temporarily stored second data (S5). This process is performed on the retrieved "n" second data. In this case, it is advantageous to limit the second data to a predetermined number by controlling the value of "n".

Therefore, the accuracy is significantly increased compared to outputting the results extracted from the conventional database without any filtering, which can provide a higher level of service to web users.

As described above, when accessing the respective URLs and storing the web page contents are completed, they are transmitted to the user PC 20 (S7 and S8). This transmission result is shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 7, the web browser screen is divided into two frames, and the second frame similar to the conventional one is displayed in the left frame, and the associated web page of the URL located at the top of the left frame is initially displayed in the right frame. Are indicated as:

That is, as a search result for the keyword "patent", "1. Patent Office, 2. Patent site, 3. Invention Promotion Association, 4. Individual inventor, .." is displayed in the left frame, and "1. The homepage (associated page) of the KIPO is displayed in the right frame as an initial value. Web pages associated with other URLs not displayed on the web browser screen are stored in the memory or HDD 26.

The switching of the web page is reversed by moving the conventional mouse cursor over the second data (1. Patent Office, 2. Invention Promotion Association, ...), and thus the associated web page or homepage is output. If the output result exceeds the number that can be displayed on the web browser screen, the web server 10 does not save the web page for the remaining output and then inputs the web search result again. It is advantageous to web transmission speed to perform retrieval and web page contents storage process again.

Here, when the homepage is output, the user can directly check whether or not the web page he is looking for by checking the contents of his / her PC on the PC, and thus, there is an advantage of efficiently searching without directly accessing the output result as in the prior art. .

When the user finds what he / she is looking for, the user can access the linked web page by clicking the link of the web page displayed on the right frame.

The method of the present invention can of course also be implemented on a user PC. That is, after the first data is transmitted to the user PC 20, the respective web pages are connected to each URL in the background state without being directly output on the web browser screen, and the contents of the corresponding web page are received and stored. I can display it. At this time, the user PC 20 preferably uses a high-speed communication line.

In addition, the method of the present invention can be applied not only to the keyword search method but also to the directory search method in a similar manner. That is, when the user outputs the requested content, the web search server 10 accesses the URL stored in each directory, stores the content of the web page, and transmits the content to the user PC 20. .

Although the present invention has been described only with respect to the described embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be modified or changed within the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and changes belong to the appended claims.

As described above, the display method according to the present invention enables the user to easily grasp the contents of the homepage or the corresponding webpage according to the search result by a specific keyword in a website that provides a search service such as Yahoo, AltaVista, Simmani, and Naver. Direct access can be used to provide search information more efficiently.
