For example, when a predetermined symbol such as "@" (at sign) or a predetermined character string is input in the field for inputting the content to be transmitted to the talk room, it is determined that the selection of the user to whom the mention is specified starts. ..

In step S102, the candidate processing unit 220 determines whether or not a character string has been input. For example, it is determined whether or not a character string is input after a predetermined symbol such as "@" is input in the field for inputting the content to be transmitted to the talk room.

If no character string has been input (NO in step S102), the process proceeds to step S103. On the other hand, if a character string is input (YES in step S102), the process proceeds to step S104.

In step S103, the candidate processing unit 220 refers to the talk room information 260, displays the user included in the talk room as a candidate for the user to whom the mention is specified, and proceeds to the process of step S106 described later. In this case, the user of the own terminal 20 does not have to be displayed as a candidate for the user to whom the mention is specified.

FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen display when a user included in the talk room is displayed as a candidate for a user to be designated as a mention in step S103.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of talk room information 260. Information of other users included in the talk room is stored in the talk room information 260. Talk room information 260
The user information indicating each user includes, for example, items of a user ID, a user icon, a user registration name, and a user display name.

The user ID is a user ID included in the talk room. The user icon is an icon indicating a user. The user registration name is a user name (account name) registered by the user in the SNS service of the server 10.

The user display name is a user name set by the user of the own terminal 20 in association with each user. When a communication partner is registered using, for example, a telephone number registered in the telephone directory of the own terminal 20 as a user display name, communication registered in the telephone directory of the own terminal 20 in association with the telephone number. You may use the name of the other party.

In the example of FIG. 5, the user with the user icon 701 has a user registration name of "arisada".
And the user display name is "fixed". The user of the user icon 702 has a user registration name of "Arisa" and a user display name of "arisa". The user of the user icon 703 has a user registration name of "arimi" and a user display name of "Ami". The user of the user icon 704 has a user registration name of "tana" and a user display name of "Tanaka".

When the data as shown in FIG. 5 is stored in the talk room information 260, “@” (at sign) is input in the field 501 for inputting the content to be transmitted to the talk room as shown in FIG. 4 (A). Then, the user icons 701, 702, 703, and 704 of other users included in the talk room are displayed in the display area 502 as candidates for the user to whom the mention is specified. The display order of the user icons 701, 702, 703, and 704 may be any order. For example, the number of contents transmitted within a predetermined time in the talk room may be large, or the number of mentioned contents transmitted in the talk room may be large.

If a character string is input on the display screen of FIG. 4A, the process may proceed to step S104.

In step S104, the candidate processing unit 220 searches the talk room information 260 for candidates of the user to whom the mention is specified, based on the input character string.

In step S105, the candidate processing unit 220 displays a list of candidates for the designated user, which is the search result.

FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen display when displaying a list of user candidates for which a mention is specified, which is searched based on the input character string in steps S104 and S105. be.

FIG. 4B shows an example in which "@" is input in the field 501 for inputting the content to be transmitted to the talk room, and the character string "ari" is input immediately after "@". In this case, a user including the character string "ari" in the "user registration name" of the talk room information 260 is searched. In addition, for example, when two character strings are prefix-matched, it may be determined that the character strings are included. Then, in the display area 502, the user icon of the searched user is displayed as a candidate for the user to whom the mention is specified. For example, when the data as shown in FIG. 5 is stored in the talk room information 260, the user icon 701 is stored in the display area 502.
, 702 and 703 are displayed. The user registration name or the user display name may be displayed in the display area 502 in association with the user icon. As a result, for example, the default icon is used as the user icon, and the user can be identified even when there are a plurality of users who use the same user icon.

In step S106, the mention processing unit 250 determines whether or not the selection operation of the user to whom the mention is specified has been accepted.

When the selection operation of the user to specify the mention is accepted (YES in step S106)
), Proceed to step S107. On the other hand, if the selection operation of the user to whom the mention is specified is not accepted (NO in step S106), the process proceeds to step S108.

In step S107, the mention processing unit 250 replaces the user icon of the user whose mention is specified in the content to be transmitted with the identification information of the user whose mention is specified, and metadata indicating that the content is mentioned. Is added to the content to be sent. For example, the user icon is replaced with a character string in the format of "@ (identification information of the specified user)". Alternatively, it may be possible to identify that it is the identification information of the designated user by using a predetermined tag or the like.

A plurality of users may be selected as the user to specify the mention.

FIG. 4C is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen display when transmitting the mentioned content in step S107.

In FIG. 4C, the terminal 20 is entered in the field 501 for inputting the content to be transmitted to the talk room.
