Search System Using Multiple References for Reliable Results
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing search systems struggle to provide reliable search results across different search targets such as communities, articles, and sorting menus, as they rely solely on the inclusion status of search words, failing to account for the varying features and references required for each type of search.
Innovation Solution
A network-based search system that applies different search references to each type of search target, considering factors like community user reliability, content usage, and sorting menu characteristics to estimate reliability and sort results accordingly, allowing for customizable and reliable search results.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the search process is performed according to the inclusion status of search words for all search targets, then the search process is simple and uniform, but the search results are not reliable because different search targets require different search references
Solution Approach 1:
The search process is segmented into different search references based on search target types. Communities are searched using community search reference (including user reliability, community activity), articles using article search reference (including user features, contents usage), and sorting menus using sorting menu search reference. This segmentation allows each search target to be searched according to its specific characteristics, improving reliability while managing complexity through structured differentiation.
Solution Approach 2:
Different search references are applied locally to different search targets based on their specific features. The system determines the appropriate search reference according to the type of search target (community, article, or sorting menu) and applies the corresponding localized search criteria, ensuring that each search target receives the most suitable search treatment for reliable results.
2Reliability
If the same search reference is applied to all search targets, then the search system is simple to operate, but it cannot provide reliable information for each search target type
Solution Approach 1:
The search system is designed with multi-functionality to handle multiple search target types (communities, articles, sorting menus) through a unified search interface. The system automatically determines the appropriate search reference based on the search target type, providing reliable search results for each target type while maintaining ease of operation for the user through a consistent search process.
3Reliability
If search results are provided without sorting by reliability, then the search process is fast and simple, but users cannot easily identify reliable information among search results
Solution Approach 1:
The search results are preliminarily sorted by reliability before being presented to the user. The system calculates reliability scores for search targets based on the applicable search reference (community reliability, article reliability, or sorting menu reliability) and arranges the results in descending order of reliability. This preliminary sorting action allows users to quickly identify and access reliable information without having to manually evaluate each result.

AI summary
Disclosed is a search system using a plurality of search references, and a search method thereof. When a search word is provided by a user terminal through a network, search targets to be searched are established based on the search word. The search process is performed by applying different search references to the respective search targets, and search results are provided to the search targets. According to the present invention, more reliable information is provided.
