<User terminal>

1 is a diagram for explaining a user terminal according to an embodiment.

Referring to Figure 1, the user terminal 100 is a message crawling (message crawling) application 110 is installed memory 120; and a processor 130 executing a message crawling application 110 . The message crawling application 110 executed by the processor 130 crawls the notification message that arrives at the user terminal 100, analyzes the notification message, and classifies it into a message type, advertisement type and information type, notification The message is analyzed and a guide message is generated based on the classified data, and the guide message is controlled to be transmitted to the vehicle equipment 200 .

The user terminal 100 may be an electronic device such as a smartphone or a tablet, and may further include a communication unit 140 that performs wireless communication with the vehicle equipment 200 . The communication unit 140 may communicate with the vehicle equipment 200 through, for example, Bluetooth. The vehicle equipment 200 may be an equipment installed in a vehicle capable of communication such as AVN (Audio Video Navigation) and including a display unit.

The message crawling application 110 is an application program that crawls a notification message that arrives at the user terminal 100, and crawling refers to an act of collecting data before analyzing and utilizing data. The message crawling application 110 executed by the processor 130 crawls the notification message that arrives at the user terminal 100 , and the crawling may be performed using various application programming interfaces (APs). For example, if you use an API such as a notification service listener, it is possible to collect the message title and contents and to which app the message is delivered when receiving a push message. , you can analyze the contents data for each app. In the case of SMS/MMS, there is an SMS receiver API in addition to the push message, so that the OS of the user terminal 100 can grasp the corresponding information when receiving.

For example, when the user terminal 100 receives an SNS service (eg, KakaoTalk) push message with the content 'I'm going now, but I'm going to be late!' from the withdrawal, the crawling application 110 is 'Kakao' It crawls the information that a message came from 'Talk', the title information 'Chulsu: Are you going??', and the entire contents information 'Chulsu: I'm going now, but I think it's going to be a little late!'

Thereafter, the message crawling application 110 executed by the processor 130 analyzes the crawled message and classifies it into a message type, an advertisement type, and an information type. The process of analyzing and classifying crawled messages is classified according to the package name in advance. Applications with high usage are classified by message, advertisement, and information category based on criteria such as whether meaningful information is provided or advertisement information. For example, the message category may include SNS services (KakaoTalk, Instagram, Facebook, etc.), SMS/MMS, etc., and the information category may include banking, news, weather, D-day applications, etc. The advertisement category may include shopping-related applications such as Gmarket, Auction, Coupang, or game applications. The crawling application 110 classifies categories by application in advance as described above, and when receiving a notification message, analyzes which app the received notification message is delivered to using API, etc., and checks which category the app belongs to. The notification message may be classified into a message type, an advertisement type, and an information type.

The message crawling application 110 analyzes the notification message and generates a guide message based on the classified data, and transmits the guide message to the vehicle equipment. The process of generating the guide message will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2C . When the guide message is transmitted to the vehicle equipment 200, various types of short-distance communication, for example, Bluetooth (Bluetooth), Wi-Fi (Wifi), Zigbee (ZIGBEE), etc. may be utilized.

<Create notification message>

2A, 2B, and 2C are diagrams for explaining a process of generating a guide message according to an embodiment.

2A illustrates a guide message generated when a received notification message is a message type according to an embodiment. 2A is a case in which a notification message of an application classified by message type such as SNS service or SMS/MMS is received, and the guide message includes a sender and message content. As shown in FIG. 2A , for example, when a text message 'Where are you?' comes from Jin-Hyung Kim, a guide message is generated with sender information 'Jin-Hyeong Kim' and the message content 'Where are you?'. In the case of the message type, it is worth delivering even while driving (not classified as an advertisement type), so the content of the message is immediately included in the guidance message. The crawling application 110 may also include information about the app that sent the received notification message in the guide message. For example, if the same content is sent through an SNS messenger such as Kakao Talk rather than a text message (SMS/MMS), the guidance message in FIG. there is.

2B illustrates a guide message generated when a received notification message is an advertisement type according to an embodiment.

2B is a case in which a notification message of an application classified into advertisement types such as shopping-related applications such as Gmarket and Coupang and game applications is received, and the guidance message includes information that an advertisement message has arrived from the sender and whether to introduce it. . As shown in FIG. 2B , for example, when a notification message 'this month's event is??' is received from the GS Shop, a guide message is generated with information about the originating application called 'GS Shop' and whether or not to introduce it. Referring to Fig. 2b, 'I received an advertisement message from the GS shop. Can you guide me?' The reason that the process of generating a guide message is different from the case of the message type is that, since it is classified as an advertisement type, there is no value to be notified while driving. However, since, for example, the user may want to receive related information when the user's driving condition is relaxed, the crawling application 110 includes information for confirming whether to receive the advertisement message in the guidance message.

2C illustrates a guide message generated when a received notification message is an information type according to an embodiment.

FIG. 2C is a case in which a notification message of an application divided into information types such as news and weather is received, and the guidance message includes a sender, message content, and whether additional information is introduced. As shown in Fig. 2c, for example, when a notification message comes from the safety notice saying '[Gangseo-gu Office] One confirmed case in Gangseo-gu, see the site for details', sender information and message of 'safety guide text' A guide message is created with the content and whether additional information is introduced. Referring to Figure 2c, '[Gangseo-gu Office] confirmed 1 case in the 'safety guide text. See site for details. message came. Could you give me some additional information?' In the case of information type, if detailed information after being connected to a site or a corresponding application is delivered, it may interfere with driving.

After the crawling application 110 generates a guide message as in FIGS. 2A to 2C , the processor 130 controls to transmit the guide message to the vehicle equipment 200 . After transmission, in the case of the advertisement type of FIG. 2B and the information type of FIG. 2C , an additional process may be performed according to the user's feedback on whether to introduce the advertisement and whether to introduce additional information. The vehicle equipment 200 outputs a guide message received from the user terminal 100 , and when receiving feedback to introduce advertisements and additional information from the user, transmits it back to the user terminal 100 . The user's feedback may be feedback through voice considering the driving situation. Upon receiving the feedback requesting to introduce advertisements and additional information, the processor controls the crawling application 110 to open an application or a site included in the message that has transmitted the notification message. In addition, the message crawling application 110 may introduce the advertisement content or additional information content to the user in TTS (Text to Speech) through the vehicle equipment 200 .

For example, as described in FIG. 2A, the message from the SNS service simply delivers only contents, but in the case of the advertisement of FIG. 2B or the information type of FIG. 2C, when feedback is received from the user to introduce additional content, the corresponding Go to Applications. According to one embodiment, when a notification message comes from the weather app classified by information type to the user terminal 100, the crawling application 110 says, "In the weather app, it is raining late at night in Seoul today, and the lowest temperature is 22 degrees. A message has arrived. Can you provide additional information as well?" and creates a guide message and transmits it to the vehicle equipment 200 . Afterwards, when the user gives feedback such as “tell me” through the vehicle equipment 200, the crawling application 110 opens the weather app and displays text information on the screen (eg, fine dust, humidity, probability of precipitation, etc.) for the vehicle. It can be introduced to the user using TTS or the like through the equipment 200 .

The message crawling application 110 may be set to guide only a notification message of a specific application based on a user input received through the vehicle equipment 200 . For example, when a user input of "only guide KakaoTalk push messages" is received in the vehicle equipment 200, the message crawling application 110 analyzes the package name among the crawled notification messages and the notification message of the application requested by the user. It can be set to guide only for .

<Service provision flow>

3 is a diagram for explaining a flow of generating and transmitting a guide message to vehicle equipment according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3 , an operation method of the message crawling application 110 is illustrated. The message crawling application 110 crawls the notification message that arrives at the user terminal 100 ( 310 ). The crawling process may be implemented using various APIs as described with reference to FIG. 1 . For example, if you use an API such as a notification service listener, it is possible to collect the message title and contents and to which app the message is delivered when receiving a push message. You can analyze the data of each content. In the case of SMS/MMS, there is an SMS receiver API in addition to the push message, so the OS can determine the information when receiving it.

The crawled application analyzes and classifies the crawled message (320). As described in FIG. 1, a package name is analyzed in advance to classify a category for each application. The category classification of the application classifies services with high usage by message, advertisement, and information categories based on criteria such as whether meaningful information is provided or advertisement information.

Thereafter, a guide message is generated based on the analyzed and classified data, and the generation method is different depending on the category. By analyzing the package name of the notification message, according to the type (330), in the case of a message, a notification message is generated with the sender and the message content (343), and in the case of advertisement, information that an advertisement message has arrived from the sender and whether to introduce it to generate a guide message (346), and in the case of information, a guide message is generated (349) based on the sender, message content, and whether additional information is introduced. Steps 343, 346, and 349 of generating messages for each type proceed as described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2C.

The message crawling application 110 transmits the generated guide message to the vehicle equipment 200 (350), and if there is user feedback, additionally introduces it (360). As described in FIGS. 2A to 2C , in the case of an advertisement type or information type notification message, when the message crawling application receives user feedback, it executes the application and uses Text To Speech (TTS) on the open screen for vehicle equipment 200 ) to introduce additional information to the user. However, when it is not necessary to provide additional information according to user feedback, such as a message type, step 360 may not proceed.
