[

Also, in other embodiments, electronic device 1 110 and server 150 may include more components than the components of FIG. However, there is no need to clearly illustrate most prior art components. For example, electronic device 1 110 may be implemented to include at least a portion of input / output devices 215 described above, or may be implemented with other components such as a transceiver, Global Positioning System (GPS) module, camera, Elements.

Hereinafter, the electronic device 1 110 for a single electronic device will be referred to as an 'electronic device'.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a component that a server of a server according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include; FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a method that a server can perform according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 3, the processor 222 of the server 150 may include a language processing unit 310, a subject sensing unit 320, a collection matching unit 330, and a result providing unit 340. The components of such a processor 222 may control the server 150 to perform the steps 410 through 440 included in the method of Figure 4 and may include an operating system Can be implemented to execute the code of one program.

At step 410 the server 150 may receive at least one word selected from the electronic device from the electronic device (e.g., electronic device 1 110) over the network as a query for a search request, ) Can automatically convert a word received from an electronic device into an optimal word in a form suitable for a search through language processing of a predetermined rule. To this end, the language processing unit 310 may control the server 150 to perform the step 410 of the server 150. [

In the electronic device, when a request for searching is input from a user while the user is consuming the content, the search mode may be activated on the screen where the content is exposed, and when the user selects at least one word included in the content, The entire selected word may be transmitted to the server 150.

The content consumed by the user may be a document provided by another system capable of interfacing with the server 150 or the server 150 or may be a document irrelevant to the server 150. [

When the user selects a word for search in the content, the user can select a word phrase of a combination of several parts of speech in the sentence, and the electronic device transmits the entire word of the selected area to the server 150 as it is. When the selected word is received from the electronic device, the server 150 removes unnecessary part-of-speech words from the received word in addition to the cognition, And a method of combining the extracted words with the center of the extracted words. Accordingly, the server 150 receives the word selected from the contents that the user is using from the electronic device as a query for the search request, and the optimum word automatically converted through the language processing can be returned to the search word for the integrated search .

In step 420, the server 150 can detect the subject domain associated with the word by knowing the context of the word received from the electronic device as a query for the search request. To this end, the subject sensing unit 320 may control the server 150 to perform the step 420 of the server 150. [

For example, when a plurality of words are received from an electronic device, the server 150 may detect a subject domain of information to be searched by a user using a plurality of words selected by the user.

As another example, when the electronic device transmits the selected word from the content being used by the user to the server 150, the electronic device may transmit the paragraph information including the word selected by the user together with the word selected by the user at the request of the server 150 The server 150 may transmit the included paragraph information to the server 150, and the server 150 may analyze the subject domain of the information to be searched by the user by analyzing the paragraph information transmitted from the electronic device.

As another example, the server 150 may detect the subject domain through category information (e.g., category ID, etc.) inserted in the URL using a uniform resource locator (URL) of a page containing a word selected by the user . And category information for classifying the contents into URLs for providing contents according to the contents may be inserted. When the electronic device delivers the word selected by the user to the server 150, the URL of the page containing the word or the category information included in the URL are transmitted together, and the server 150 transmits the category of the information The domain can be detected. If the content being used by the user is a document provided by the server 150 or a system capable of interlocking with the server 150, the server 150 directly uses the URL of the page currently displayed on the electronic device, Can be confirmed.

In step 430, the server 150 may match the collection corresponding to the subject in the integrated search result according to the subject domain of the information to be searched by the user. For this, the collection matching unit 330 may control the server 150 so that the server 150 performs step 430.

A collection may refer to an area for classifying and exposing a document according to the source or the type of the document extracted as the search result. For example, a collection can be divided into a search area such as a cafe, a blog, a document, a book, a knowledge encyclopedia, a dictionary, a news, an image, a moving picture, a web document, Documents on the Internet can be classified based on a plurality of predefined topics, and the collection priority of the integrated search results can be predefined for each subject.

If the subject domain of the information to be searched by the user is detected in step 420, the server 150 matches the closest matching collection to the subject of the word selected by the user based on the collection priority of the subject .

In step 440, the server 150 performs a search using the optimal word converted through language processing as a search term for integrated search in step 410, and then transmits the search result to an electronic device . To this end, the result providing unit 340 may control the server 150 so that the server 150 performs step 440.

The server 150 provides the integrated search result using the words automatically converted through the language processing to the electronic device. At this time, the user moves the collection matched to the subject domain of the information to be searched to the top of the integrated search result You can sort your search results. Accordingly, the server 150 may automatically provide the integrated search result for the selected word (s) selected by the user to the collection rankings matching the context (subject) of the corresponding word.

As described above, when a user selects a specific word from a text sentence in the middle of consuming content on the web, the server 150 automatically converts the selected word into a form suitable for the search and returns it to the search word, The results can be automatically adjusted to the ranking appropriate to the search context.

5 and 6 are diagrams showing examples of screens displayed on an electronic device. 5 and 6, a process of converting a word selected by a user into a form suitable for search will be described in detail.

5 shows an example of a service page provided by the server 150 in a screen 500 displayed on an electronic device used by a user. Contents including a text sentence may be displayed on the screen 500. In addition, the screen 500 may include a menu list 510 for the service page. For example, the menu list 510 may include UI buttons such as a home screen, a previous screen, a next screen, a bookmark setting, a page sharing, and a refresh.

The menu list 510 may include a search button 511 to search for specific words in the content being used through the screen 500. The user can input the search button 511 of the menu list 510 on the current page without moving the screen in order to retrieve a word that is not understood or understood by the text in the content while using the content, When the user's search request using the search button 511 is inputted, the search mode can be activated directly on the screen 500 on which the content is displayed to provide a searchable environment.

For example, when the search button 511 is input on the screen 500 on which the content is displayed, as shown in FIG. 6, the search guide screen 620 is exposed on the current screen 500 without moving the screen, Can be activated. In the search mode on the screen 500 in which the content is displayed, a query input for a search request is made by selecting a specific word from content (e.g., touch, click, etc.) instead of directly typing the word to be searched. To this end, guide information (e.g., a guide message such as 'Please touch a word to be searched', etc.) for word selection for searching may be displayed on the search guide screen 620.

The word selection method illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 is illustrative, and is not limited thereto. Various actions may be applied to select a word to be searched. For example, when the search button 511 is always exposed on the content screen 500 and the search button 511 is touched, the user drags the search button 511 to a word to be searched and then releases the touched word, Can be selected.

In the electronic device, when a user selects a specific word in a text sentence in a content state while the content mode is being activated, the user can display a text area 601 that is block-processed on a word selected by the user The user can check whether the word he / she desires to search is correctly selected through the text area 601.

At this time, the electronic device can provide a function of widening the word selection range with left / right based on a selected word in a state where a word is partially selected, thereby enabling a user to easily and conveniently select a word to be searched.

In the electronic device, even if the search mode is not activated, when the text in the content is selected by a touch action such as a long tap, when the selected block is held in the text on the system, the electronic device recognizes the selected block and supports the search function to be performed immediately .

The electronic device can transmit the word selected by the user to the server 150 to the server 150, and the server 150 can automatically convert the word received from the electronic device into a form suitable for search through language processing.

When a word is selected by a touch action such as tap and hold in a text sentence, since a word is generally selected in the unit of the word, as shown in FIG. 6, the user searches for the word " When selecting a word for that word, the corresponding phrase, 'perfumes', can be selected.

The electronic device transmits the selected phrase selected by the user to the server 150 without requiring the user to directly type or further modify the phrase. The server 150 receives the phrase 'fragrances' selected by the user as a touch action, And then use 'perfume' as a search term.

Accordingly, the server 150 automatically receives a word selected by the user as a search query together with a search request from the electronic device, processes the received word as a search word, automatically processes the word as a word more suitable for search, You can return it as a query.

7 to 10, a process of detecting a subject domain of a word requested by a user will be described in detail.

In order to provide a correct search result for a word requested by the user, it is necessary to grasp the context information of the word and determine what topic the user searches for. Although words can be used to identify the subject to which the word belongs, it is sometimes difficult to grasp the subject alone based on the word.

FIG. 7 shows a theme classification of 'perfume'. Referring to FIG. 7, 'perfume' can be classified into four subjects such as books, movies, music, and cosmetics. The search function according to the present invention is a subject classification of how to expose a collection to a higher level from the viewpoint of a collection. By knowing the context in which a search request word is used, Search results can be provided.

As described above, the server 150 is configured to (1) use a word selected by the user, (2) use a paragraph containing a word selected by the user, (3) And a method of using the keyword to identify the subject domain associated with the word.

For example, referring to FIG. 8, when a text region 801 according to a user's selection includes a plurality of words 'wood flavor', 'fruit flavor', and 'perfume' Lt; / RTI > For example, when the user selects a plurality of words, the server 150 may identify a field or a subject in which two or more words among the plurality of words are commonly used, and determine the domain as the subject domain of the information the user wants to search for .

Referring to FIG. 9, when a word 'fragrance' is included in a text area 901 according to a user's selection, a subject domain that the user is curious can be detected using a paragraph including 'fragrance'. In the electronic device, when the phrase 'fragrances' is selected by the user, the server 150 can transmit the paragraph information including the selected word to the server 150, and the server 150 transmits the word selected by the user It is possible to grasp the context of the word selected by the user from the field of use or the topic of at least one word positioned before and after the reference and judge the context as the subject domain of the information the user wants to find.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the word 'fragrance' corresponds to 'cosmetics' by grasping the use field or theme such as the words 'wood fragrance' and 'fruit fragrance' It can be categorized as a subject. On the other hand, if the word 'perfume' is included in the text area 1001 according to the user's selection as shown in FIG. 10, the words preceding and succeeding in the paragraph including the word 'perfume' ', It can be seen that the word' perfume 'can be classified into general topics other than books, movies, music, and cosmetics.

The search function according to the present invention can also consider a subject classification based on the meaning deconvolution (WSD) for classifying what the word itself is actually used as. For example, the homonym has several totally different meanings. For example, in the case of 'trauma', an economic term that means' to buy or sell goods at a later date ',' A medical term that means 'a horse that has a whole wound', and a political term that means 'a horse that reaches the chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in some countries'. In this manner, the user can provide a correct search result for a word that is searched for by searching for the context or topic of the individual words including homonyms.

Accordingly, the user can determine the subject domain of the information to be searched by the user using the word selected for searching or a paragraph including the word. As described above, in addition to the method of using words or paragraphs, by checking the category information inserted in the URL by using the URL of the page containing the word selected by the user, the user can judge it as the subject domain of the information to be searched.

The server 150 may automatically adjust the integrated search result to a ranking suitable for the context of the word requested by the user in order to provide a correct answer type search result. 11 to 13, a process of providing an integrated search result of ranking according to a search context will be described in detail.

The collection for classifying extracted documents as a search result may be defined in advance according to the subject domain. For example, if the word "perfume" selected by the user for the search is used in an article in a topic related to the book, the "book" collection among the collections included in the search result can be exposed at the top, , The 'shopping' collection can be exposed at the top. In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, a plurality of subject domains such as economy, politics, people, and traffic can be defined in advance, and priorities for determining collection rankings can be defined in advance for each subject domain. If the search term is related to 'economy' according to the predefined mapping table, the result of integrated search is called 'Dictionary of Knowledge> Knowledge Encyclopedia> Site> ... In the case of search terms related to 'politics', it matches with the collection of surnames. It can be matched with a collection of surnames. In other words, depending on the subject domain of the query, the placement of the collection to provide search results for the search term will vary.

For example, when providing the integrated search result for the search word to the electronic device, the server 150 may move the highest priority collection to the top of the integrated search result according to the collection priority corresponding to the subject domain of the search term .

12 is a diagram showing examples of a search result screen displayed on an electronic device. 12, the electronic device receives the search result for the search term 'perfume' from the server 150 with respect to the phrase 'perfume' selected by the user in the content screen 500, The search result screen 1200 can be displayed.

The search result screen 1200 can be composed and displayed as a new layer superimposed on at least a part of the content screen 500 without moving or switching screens in the content screen 500. [ In the search result screen 1200, a collection ranking corresponding to a subject domain of a search word may be applied to an integrated search result for a search term. For example, if the search term 'perfume' is a general subject term, the collection corresponding to 'linguistic dictionary' among the integrated search results is exposed at the top level. If the search term 'perfume' It can be exposed at the top.

13, when a predefined interaction is input to the search result screen 1200 superimposed on at least a part of the content screen 500, for example, when a user touches an arbitrary position in the search result screen 1200 If a gesture to pull up a title bar of the search result screen 1200 is touched, the search result screen 1300-1 in the full screen state can be moved. On the other hand, if a back button is input in the search result screen 1300-1 or a gesture is taken to be dragged down while the title bar is touched, the user can move to the previous page, i.e., the content screen 500. [

The search result screen 1200 or 1300-1 may include a search button 1201 or 1301 and may be moved to a search word input screen (not shown) capable of performing an integrated search when the search button 1201 1301 is input .

FIGS. 12 to 13 illustrate exemplary screens for facilitating understanding of the invention and for convenience of description, and the configuration, order, and the like of the screen can be changed as desired.

As described above, according to the embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to provide search results for words included in contents without screen movement by supporting a searchable environment by activating a search mode on a screen in which contents are exposed, The search process can be reduced as much as possible and the communication cost and power consumption of the user terminal can be reduced as well as the communication resource efficiency can be improved due to the shortened search process. According to the embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to manually input a word for searching, for example, by directly typing or correcting a word for search by converting a selected word in content into an optimum word from which unnecessary parts of speech words are removed, And it is possible to automatically input a search term of an accurate context through root-based language processing, and to provide accurate context and search result of guaranteed quality. According to the embodiments of the present invention, the subject domain of the information to be searched by the user can be identified by grasping the context information of the at least one word selected from the contents, thereby obtaining a search result closer to the correct answer It is possible to improve search result quality.
