(Guest mode processing example)
3A and 3B are diagrams illustrating a guest mode executed by the message processing system according to the embodiment.

  In the guest mode, messages are transmitted and received between the administrator 311 and the plurality of users 321 to 323 in a relationship of administrator 1: user N. The administrator 311 operates the client (PC) 101a, and the users 321 to 323 operate the client (smartphone) 101b, respectively.

  Then, the server device 100 individually sets message transmission / reception (shared range) with a plurality of N users 321 to 323 for one administrator 311.

  FIG. 3A is a state showing a user of a message transmission / reception destination viewed from the administrator side. From the manager 311 side, a plurality of N users 321 to 323 can be listed on the list 330 on the client (PC) 101a of the manager 311. On the list 330, messages transmitted and received between the users 321 to 323 can be listed and viewed. For example, the administrator 311 can arbitrarily designate a plurality of users 321 to 323 and broadcast the same message.

  On the other hand, FIG. 3B shows a message transmission / reception partner seen from the user side. On the client (smart phone) 101b of the user 322, only the administrator 311 is listed as a transmission partner on the list 430, and the existence of the other users 321 and 323 is not known (the other users are hidden). For this reason, the user 322 cannot perform message transmission / reception with the other users 321 and 323. That is, the user 322 shown in FIG. 3B can privately send and receive messages with the administrator 311 at a ratio of 1: 1.

  Sharing of 1: N messages with a plurality of users 321 to 323 viewed from the manager 311 shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B and 1: 1 with the manager 311 viewed from the plurality of users 321 to 323. The server apparatus 100 performs the setting of message transmission / reception.

  In the above example, the users 321 to 323 do not know the existence of other users, and cannot send and receive messages between the users 321 to 323. A configuration in which messages can be transmitted and received between the H.323s is also possible.

  When the administrator 311 operates the client (PC) 101a to transmit a message to any user 321 to 323, the client (PC) 101a accesses the server apparatus 100, and the client 101a (administrator 311) The users 321 to 323 are displayed on the list 330 as counterparts capable of transmitting messages.

  Then, the administrator 311 selects a message transmission destination user (for example, the user 322) on the list 330, and transmits the message to the selected user 322. The message transmitted by the client 101a (administrator 311) is displayed on the client 101b (smart phone) of the corresponding user 322.

  On the other hand, when the user 322 operates the client (smartphone) 101b and transmits a message to the administrator 311, the client (smartphone) 101b can access the server apparatus 100 and the client 101b (user 322) can transmit the message. Only the administrator 311 is displayed on the list 430 as a valid partner. Then, the user 322 selects a message transmission destination administrator 311 on the list 430 and transmits a message to the selected administrator 311. The message transmitted by the client 101b (user 322) is displayed on the client 101a (PC) of the corresponding administrator 311.

  Messages exchanged between the administrator 311 and the user 322 can be easily confirmed on the smartphone carried by the user 322 as the client 101b. The user 322 is set in advance by an administrator 311 for exchanging (allowing) messages, so that the message received from the administrator 311 can be quickly confirmed.

  Since the message exchanged between the manager 311 and the user 322 can be created while looking at the message exchanged in time series by the chat service, the manager 311 and the user 322 can promptly send a message. You can create and send content.

  Further, the bot 103 may mediate a message exchanged between the manager 311 and the user 322. In this case, the bot 103 automatically sends a message according to a predetermined procedure between the administrator 311 and the user 322.

  For example, the manager 311 side (company) is various support centers, learning cram schools, temporary staffing companies, distribution related companies, housing related companies, nursing care facilities, human resources business, etc. The manager 311 and users (customers) of these various companies ) There is a communication service between 321 to 323.

  Taking a housing-related company as an example, a plurality of contractors involved in the construction of a certain house are the users 321-323. Then, the bot 103 transmits a standard message for confirming the daily progress (work contents, ToDo) to each user 321 to 323 corresponding to the work process of housing construction, and a response from the user 321 to 323 to the standard message. Get (embedded). The bot 103 transmits a related next message after transmitting one standard message. As described above, the bot 103 holds in advance a message example for each routine procedure exchanged between the administrator 311 and the users 321 to 323 and sequentially transmits the messages to the users 321 to 323.

  Thereby, on the manager 311 side, message transmission / reception with the users 321 to 323 can be easily and promptly performed on the hot line by the chat service. Also, by using the bot 103, message transmission from the administrator 311 to the users 321 to 323 can be automated, and the exchange of messages can be made more efficient.

(Example of sharing range of guest mode using talk room)
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an initial setting example of the shared range in the guest mode executed by the message processing system according to the embodiment.

  The users 321 and 322 illustrated in FIG. 4 are users who have been set by the administrator 311, and the server apparatus 100 sets a relationship for sharing messages between the administrator 311 and the users 321 and 322. That is, the server apparatus 100 assigns and sets the users 321 and 322 and the administrator 311 on the same talk room 400 of the chat service.

  As a result, the manager 311 can transmit and receive messages individually to the users 321 and 322 as viewed from the manager 311 and can transmit the same message to the users 321 and 322 at one time (1: N). Further, the manager 311 can receive messages from the users 321 and 322.

  Since the messages posted by the administrator 311 and the users 321 and 322 in the same talk room 400 are shared in the talk room 400, the users 321 and 322 send and receive messages in the talk room 400. Can be viewed (group talk).

  In the following description, an example of sharing settings in which the manager 311 and the users 321 and 322 entering the same talk room 400 can view and transmit a mutual message will be described.

  In the example of FIG. 4, guests 331 and 332 are new users, and these guests 331 and 332 can individually send and receive messages with the administrator 311, but the guests 331 and 332 exist with each other. Is not understood, and messages cannot be transmitted / received between the guests 331 and 332.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of changing the sharing range of the guest mode executed by the message processing system according to the embodiment.

  After the state shown in FIG. 4, if the guest is invited to the same talk room 400 once by inviting the guest, the sharing range is changed so that the guests in the same talk room 400 can see each other's existence. The Guest invitation is performed by the administrator 311 or the users 321 and 322, and the server apparatus 100 sets the invitation and sharing range.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the guest 332 and 333 are invited to the talk room 400 and the guest 332 and 333 enter the room. The server apparatus 100 sets a state in which the guests 332 and 333 (client 101b) are set to enter the talk room 400. As a result, the server apparatus 100 can share a message between the users 312 and 322 in the talk room 400 and the administrator 311 with four people including the guests 332 and 333.

  In the example of FIG. 5, the guest 331 has not entered the talk room 400, and the guest 331 can send and receive messages only with the administrator 311. The guest 331 cannot be seen from the other users 321 and 322 and the guests 332 and 333, and message transmission / reception between the other users 321 and 322 and the guests 332 and 333 cannot be performed.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a guest mode sharing range setting process executed by the message processing system according to the embodiment. The processing example of FIG. 4, FIG. 5 by the server apparatus 100 is shown.

  First, the server apparatus 100 determines whether there is a guest to invite (step S601). When there is a guest to be invited (step S601: Yes), that is, the client 101a (PC) of the administrator 311 or the client 101b (smart phone) of the users 321 and 322 who have already entered the talk room 400 invites the guests 332 and 333. Then, the server apparatus 100 selects and sets the talk room 400 in which the administrator 311 and the users 321 and 322 enter (step S602). When there is no guest to invite (step S601: No), the process ends.

  Then, the server device 100 notifies the client 101b (smartphone) of the invited guests 332 and 333 of the invitation to the set talk room 400 and waits for a response from the client 101b (smartphone) of the guests 332 and 333 (step) S603).

  Then, the server apparatus 100 waits for a response from the client 101b (smart phone) of the guest 332, 333 (step S603: No loop), and when there is a response (step S603: Yes), the guest 332, 333 that has responded The client 101b (smart phone) is set to enter the talk room 400 (step S604).

  As a result, the server apparatus 100 responds to the client 101b (smart phone) of the guest 332, 333 that has replied, the client 101b (smart phone) of the users 321 and 322 who have already entered the talk room 400, and the client 101a ( Message sharing (transmission / reception of each other's messages) with the PC) is permitted (step S605), and the process is terminated.

  FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B are charts showing the setting process contents of the shared range of the guest mode executed by the message processing system according to the exemplary embodiment.

  FIG. 7A shows the setting state of FIG. 4. In the shared range setting table 700, for each talk room 1 (400), an administrator M (311), a user A (321), and a user B (322). Guest G2 (332) is set to enter the room.

  Based on the sharing range setting table 700, the server apparatus 100 transmits a message by 1: N connection to each user A (321), user B (322), and guest G2 (332) as viewed from the manager M (311) ( Set (Send / Receive). The message in the talk room 400 is shared with users (administrator M (311), user A (321), user B (322), and guest G2 (332)) who share the talk room 400.

  Further, at the time of talk room setting, based on the shared range setting table 700, the manager M (311) and each user A (321), user B (322), and guest G2 (332) mutually (arbitrarily) ) Set to enable message transmission (transmission / reception).

  FIG. 7B shows the setting state of FIG. 5, and the newly invited guest G3 (333) is set to enter the shared range setting table 700 in addition to the state of FIG.

  The server apparatus 100 has a guest mode shared range setting table 700 shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, and selects (identifies) a message sharing user (guest) using the shared range setting table 700.

  In FIGS. 7A and 7B, M (311) is an example of the manager, but a plurality of managers may be used. Thereby, for example, it is possible to cope with a case where a plurality of N managers of a plurality of departments are engaged in predetermined work in each company (N: M).

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining another example of the shared range of the guest mode executed by the message processing system according to the embodiment. With reference to FIG. 8, a setting example of a guest having a sharing (browsing) authority only in a specific talk room will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 8, it is assumed that the manager M (311), the user A (321), and the user B (322) are in the talk room 1 (400). Thereafter, for example, it is assumed that a message is temporarily shared with a guest G4 outside the organization, for example, a guest (351) whose browsing permission is restricted. In this case, since the guest G4 (351) is not a guest who permanently enters the talk room 1 (400), the guest G4 (351) is not allowed to enter the talk room 1 (400).

  Then, the server apparatus 100 duplicates and creates the talk room 2 (400a) having the same setting contents (member configuration) as the talk room 1 (400). Then, the guest G4 (351) outside the organization is allowed to enter the copied talk room 2 (400a). Guest G4 (351) can send and receive messages to and from other members (administrator M (311), user A (321), and user B (322)) only in talk room 2 (400a).

  As described above, for the temporary guest G4 outside the organization or the like, the contents of message sharing in different talk rooms (talk room 1) can be viewed by permitting entry into the copied talk room (talk room 2). The guest G4 with a restriction on permission cannot be viewed, and the security of the message content in the talk room 1 can be maintained.

  According to the embodiment described above, when a message is transmitted / received between the administrator and the user, the message can be transmitted / received only between the administrator and the user set in advance. At this time, from the viewpoint of the administrator, a message can be broadcast by a 1: N connection to a plurality of users, messages from a plurality of users can be received, and user management can be easily performed. From the user's point of view, there is a 1: 1 connection with the administrator, and messages can be sent and received with security.

  Messages can be immediately sent and received between the administrator and a plurality of users using a chat service. In addition, messages can be arbitrarily transmitted / received (shared) between the administrator and the user (guest) who entered the talk room by the talk room setting.

  As a result, messages exchanged during the execution of a predetermined job can be quickly and easily transmitted and received between necessary members, and the exchange of messages can be made more efficient. Further, since messages can be exchanged only between the set members, the security of the message contents can be improved.

  The message processing program described in this embodiment can be realized by executing a program prepared in advance by a computer. The program is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a semiconductor memory, a hard disk, a flexible disk, a CD-ROM, or a DVD, and is executed by being read from the recording medium by the computer. Further, this program may be distributed through a network such as the Internet.

  As described above, the present invention is useful for a message processing system using a chat service, and particularly useful for a message processing system for exchanging between a plurality of users and a user administrator.
