Abstract

Provided is a method for servicing queried contents using a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) operation. The method includes transmitting a request message of a SOAP query operation to which a request element field type is added in order to request various content searches through a complex operation, and extracting a query result expression value corresponding to a table field designated in the request field type element, and adding the extracted query expression value to a query result element to transmit the added value by a response message of the SOAP operation, when the request message includes the request element field type designating a query request result value. The method sorts and/or groups the query results of contents according to the extraction order of queried contents by adding operators associated with an arithmetic operation and/or a comparison operation to a query request field of a SOAP query operation upon query request of contents, thereby servicing the more various accurate query results of contents. Accordingly, the method services the more various accurate query results of contents on the basis of users preference information to users, thereby increasing convenience for users.

Claims

1. A method for servicing search content by a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) operation, the method comprising:

transmitting a request message of a SOAP query operation to which a request element field type is added in order to request various content searches through a complex operation; and

extracting a query result expression value corresponding to a table field designated in the request field type element, and adding the extracted query expression value to a query result element to transmit the added value by a response message of the SOAP operation, when the request message comprises the request element field type designating a query request result value.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the response message comprises at least one query result element of maxPage, maxItem, freeText, resource, outputName, Field, AggregateID, FieldCombination, SortBy, GroupBy, GroupByField, Aggregate, Thumbnail and typeName.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the response message sorts and/or groups query results according to query-requesting contents.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the response message is defined as follows

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the complex operation is a specific operation which enables to express a query result by expressing a high-level query contents.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the complex operation is an arithmetic operation and/or a comparison operation.

7. A computer-readable storage medium storing a command which performs each operation of a method for servicing search content by a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) operation, comprising instructions to:

transmit a request message of a SOAP query operation to which a request element field type is added in order to request various content searches through a complex operation; and

extract a query result expression value corresponding to a table field designated in the request field type element, and adding the extracted query expression value to a query result element to transmit the added value by a response message of the SOAP operation, when the request message comprises the request element field type designating a query request result value.
