摘要: 搜寻引擎是网际网路世界里的杀手级应用之一,若是能将搜寻引擎建置到行动通讯的领域,将可方便使用者取得无数的网际网路资源。不过,现行的搜寻引擎大都是设计给需要长时间、专注且位置不动的使用者使用,对于经常移动,无法专注于搜寻动作之上的个人行动通讯使用者而言,这样的搜寻引擎是无法帮助他们方便地获得所需要的资讯。日本NTT DoCoMo的MIS系统,则是引进了适地性服务(Location-based Service)的概念,提供使用者各项与位置有关的搜寻服务。然而,使用者的情境资讯,代表着使用者使用搜寻服务的当时的环境,很显然地不单只有位置一种,位置、时间甚至使用者偏好,都可以用以帮助搜寻引擎产生更符合使用者需求的搜寻结果。另外,粗糙地将各种位置资讯转换成经纬度表示,因尺度不同所导致的误差问题亦无法解释。因此,本研究综合位置、时间以及使用者偏好等三种情境因子,定义使用者与文件的情境,提出一套以分类树(Ontology Tree)的计算为基础的通用机制,以计算文件与使用者情境的相似度,用以作为修改搜寻结果的排序(Ranking)依据。实验结果证明,这样的机制,能够有效地将符合使用者情境的文件,排在搜寻结果的较前面,使得搜寻引擎更加地适合给行动通讯使用者使用。
Search engine is one of the killer applications in Internet. It will be convenience for user to access countless World Wide Web resource to build the search engine in the mobile communication environment. But, mostly, traditional search engine are designed for focused attention and stationary use. For those mobile communication users who move regularly and unable to concentrate on searching, this kind of search engine cannot easily help them get what they need. The NTT DoCoMo MIS system in Japan adopted the concept of location-based service, provide various searching services related to location. However, the user context information represents the environment and possible intention of user, and obviously there is not only one: location. The location, time, and even user preference could be used to help the search engine to produce more suitable search result to user need. The deviation produced by converting longitude and latitude from different value scale can not be explained, too. Therefore, our research combine location, time, and user preference these contexts factor to define user and document context, and purposed a generalized mechanism based on ontology tree calculation, to compute the similarity between document and user context, in order to adjust the original search result ranking. Experiments results show that this mechanism can effectively pick up those documents that are related to user context, and arrange to the top of search result. Make the search engine more suitable for mobile communication users.
