Description

  The present invention relates to a method for automatically converting a user role identity during a service process based on a user context, and an information system thereof.

  As mobile communications currently develop, many telecommunications carriers offer many forms of service content, such as mobile instant communications, electronic commerce, and network media announcements and broadcasts. When a general user tries to access the above service contents, it is necessary to register one identity account number in advance for one telecommunications carrier that provides the service. Showing and certifying the identity of the user in the network, so that the user can request the telecommunications carrier to provide service based on the identity account number. However, during the course of the user's experience of the service, the identity cannot be changed voluntarily due to restrictions on the identity account number, and when the user tries to access the service to the telecommunications carrier with another identity, further electricity Other identity account numbers need to be developed with the carrier, thereby causing other identity account numbers to be utilized to indicate and prove the user's other identities within the service. In this way, the user may act in the service with different identities based on voluntary choices, but the user must specifically remember at least two identity account numbers corresponding to different identities. If you forget your identity account number, you will not be able to work in the service again with the identity indicated by this identity account number, which is very inconvenient.

  As an additional example, as the use of a single mobile communication software (such as Line®) has become more prevalent, some company managers have focused on the immediate communication of mobile communication software, Increasingly, mobile communication software is used as a medium for business assignment, but such mobile communication software, which is now generally known, only registers a single identity with only one mobile device that each user has. Regardless of whether a user who is considered a staff member is working or leaving the office, it is necessary to accept a business message sent from the company manager, resulting in a separate increase in working hours. And even mental pressure on users who are considered staff Lead to that on.

  In addition, Intel (R) offers, for example, the Republic of China No. 201344491, an identity manager used for network communications. The technology described in this publication builds an identity manager within an application program for a homepage identity controller that uses, creates and selects a user's identity. Typical data for each identity includes home page links, history, cookies, user account IDs, personal identification numbers, email addresses, personal data and other information. In one example, this technique allows a user to have two identities when one tries to browse and prepare a homepage, one of which is a primary identity and the other is an anonymous identity. Yes, the homepage identity controller application program provides a list of users to select that identity or create a new identity. In addition, the homepage identity controller application program can continuously scan for requests for personal data and based on the user's settings or identity determination created by a context aware algorithm, By presenting the selection, the user can access the correct identity of a particular website.

  Here, the user account ID presented in the above Intel (registered trademark) publication is the above identity account number, and the above technology of Intel (registered trademark) is actually in the process of browsing the homepage by the user. Collect at least one identity account number to be used or stored in and manage this identity account number, so that the identity account number of the matching activity or context before subsequent homepage browsing To serve the user's choice. In other words, the above Intel (R) technology only manages multiple identity account numbers and is able to deal with the user's context while the user cannot experience the service with a single identity account number. , Convert the user's identity to be in a more favorable situation, but the above Intel (R) technology still requires the service to be paused or switched manually in advance, after which the user Services with the role identity indicated by the other identity account number.

  In view of this, current schemes cannot switch to different identity roles while users are still servicing based on a single identity account number, and therefore a solution is sought. .

  The main object of the present invention is to solve the problem that generally services cannot be provided based on a single identity account number and the user cannot convert between at least two identity roles.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for automatic conversion of user roles based on a user context, which includes the following steps.

(A) providing at least one service to the user based on one identity account number provided by the user, wherein during the service providing process, the user has one role variable; And (B) a plurality of role variables related to the user from the role database, wherein each of the plurality of role variables is set to be associated with one context. Reading a role variable, detecting the user's context, converting the user's original role variable based on the context, and continuing the service with the role variable matching the context.

  In one embodiment, the method further includes providing an entrance server, wherein the user obtains authentication of the entrance server by the identity account number and accesses the service.

  In one embodiment, the service is built on a service server, and when the user obtains authentication, the entrance server requests the service server to provide service to the user. . The identity account number is registered by the user and an immediate communication service provider.

  In one embodiment, an entrance server is used to access at least one external terminal device of the service through the user and collect at least one user state factor while the user is using the service. Analyzing the user state factor to obtain at least one context and further setting each of the contexts to be associated with a role variable. The user condition factor is a time, location or behavior characteristic when the user accesses the service.

  In one embodiment, the entrance server is used to access at least one external terminal device of the service through the user to collect user state factors for the user to convert role variables, and to determine the user state factors. The method further includes the step of analyzing to obtain at least one context and updating the role variable according to the context.

  In some embodiments, the method further includes receiving a conversion request sent from the user and replacing the original role variable of the user with a role variable specified in the conversion request.

  In one embodiment, in step (B), at least one of time, location and behavioral characteristics is considered a context detection target.

  In one embodiment, in the step (A), a plurality of different services are provided to the user, and one of the plurality of services is selected and used by the user. In B), the user's service conversion is considered as a detection target.

  In addition to the above method, the present invention provides an information system, a program, and a computer-readable recording medium used for executing the above method.

  According to the above solution of the present invention, there are the following features compared with the prior art. The present invention provides services based on the user when the user needs to provide only a single identity account number during the process of performing a single service or converting to another service. During the process, users can be converted to different role identities based on different contexts.

  Detailed description and technical contents of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention is a method for automatic conversion of user roles based on a user context, and is implemented with an information system 1. The information system 1 is constructed by a service provider, and the service provider may be an immediate communication service provider, a community site service provider, a cloud service provider, or the like. The information system 1 includes at least one entrance server 11 and at least one service server 12, and each of the entrance server 11 and the service server 12 has an Internet connection function, so that an external terminal device uses the Internet 3. It is possible to connect to the entrance server 11 and the service server 12 via the network. Although the entrance server 11 may be designed based on the construction of an authentication, authorization and accounting server (also referred to as AAA server), in some embodiments, the entrance server 11 may be configured with a behavior feedback function through program design. You may have. Further, the entrance server 11 may include a role database 111 or may communicate with an external role database 111. The role database 111 and the entrance server 11 communicate data directly, thereby allowing the entrance server 11 to communicate with the entrance database. The server 11 receives a data read request or data write request transmitted to the role database 111. The role database 111 can be created by designing a relational database construction or other database construction, among others, the relational database construction may be MySQL (registered trademark), Microsoft (registered trademark) Access (registered trademark), or the like. .

  On the other hand, the service server 12 can be executed through the addition of at least one software program, and provides a service to a user who logs in to an external terminal device via the Internet 3. For example, the service server 12 is abbreviated as “User Generated Content” (UGC) based on a software program based on an immediate communication service, a stream AV service, an electronic commerce service, an information announcement / broadcasting service, or the like. ) ・ Provide services. However, the present invention merely illustrates that each service is provided by one service server 12 of a plurality of service servers, and is not limited thereto. In an embodiment, the opportunity for the service server 12 to provide a service to the external terminal device is the case where the entrance server 11 authenticates the external terminal device and the external terminal device obtains the authentication, and then the entrance. When the server 11 tries to request that the service server 12 provide a service to the external terminal device, the service server 12 receives the authentication of the entrance server 12 and the entrance server 11 Tries to request a certain user 2 to provide a service. Further, although the present invention will be described separately for the entrance server 11 and the service server 12 in order to specifically explain the technology of the present invention, in actual application, the entrance server 11 and the service server are described. 12 may be constructed on the same terminal server device, or may be constructed on different terminal server devices.

  As described above, the external terminal device can be owned by the user 2, but the user 2 concludes a service contract with a service provider who has already accessed and prepared the service before implementing the present invention. The external terminal device has an Internet connection function and can connect to the information system 1 via the Internet 3. The external terminal device may be a mobile communication device, a desktop personal computer, or another electronic device having an Internet connection function.

  The present invention constructs a plurality of role variables 20 for the user 2 in advance and stores them in the role database 111. These role variables 20 are set to relate to user 2, and these role variables 20 consider one identity account number that user 2 registers with the service provider as an index for reading data. Good. In addition, the present invention further associates each role variable 20 with one context. A context can consist of one or more user state factors 22. In particular, the user state factor 22 in the present invention is an important index for determining the context in the user 2, and the user state factor 22 is recorded in each role variable 20 and set to be a certain condition. Is done. The entrance server 11 may recognize the current context of the user 2 based on at least one user state factor 22 and perform appropriate switching. Further, the user status factor 22 may be the time, location, habitual behavior characteristics, special behavior characteristics or switching service request while the user 2 is using the service. By way of example, the user state factor 22 can be composed of a single factor or multiple factors. In particular, when the user 2 is using the service, the time or position is a user state factor 22 constituted by a single factor, and if only the time or position needs to match, this user state factor 22 Thus, the context of the place can be estimated and judged. In addition, the position can be obtained from a satellite positioning signal. Furthermore, while the user 2 is using the service, the habitual behavior characteristic can be constituted by a plurality of factors. In some embodiments, the habitual behavior characteristic is composed of time and location factors, and is the habitual behavior characteristic when the user 2 satisfies these factors simultaneously while using the service. The user state factor 22 is acquired. In addition, accreditation of habitual behavior characteristics may be a service usage state in which a user 2 has a long period of time or a relatively high probability within a certain data collection time. You may stay in the office until 5pm, that is, this may be considered a habitual behavioral characteristic. On the other hand, the special behavior characteristic indicates that the user 2 is a more special state factor, for example, participation in an anonymous circle, special preference, or a special occupation outside the industry. In the present invention, these role variables 20 may be stored separately in the role database 111 according to the information file format. More specifically, the present invention uses big data technology to collect at least one user state factor 22 while user 2 is using the service, thereby allowing user 2 to use the service. Identify at least two contexts during the process. Moreover, although this invention is illustrated as what performs immediate communication software (for example, Line (trademark) communication software), it is not limited to this. When user 2 first runs instant communication software and attempts to register an identity account number with a service provider, immediate communication software will not require user 2 to provide the necessary identity data Furthermore, by providing the user 2 with at least one role context editing option that can be defined independently, the user 2 can define the role to be used in a specific context according to his / her needs. it can. The content that can be defined by itself may be a role identity, which allows the role identity to be switched based on context. This context may be time, location, limiting conditions, etc. while the user is using the service, as presented above. As described above, the immediate communication software returns the content written by the user 2 to the role context editing option to the entrance server 11 after the user 2 has completed the definition, and the entrance server 11 receives the information. The content is set to be one role variable 20 related to the user 2. In addition to this, the instant communication software can further comprise one role context editing setting through program editing, so that the user 2 can change the role and the role to be converted from time to time based on usage needs. You can define the context yourself.

  As described above, in addition to providing an implementation strategy in which user 2 defines role contexts themselves, the present invention further provides for user 2 to register with a service provider during the course of user 2 experiencing the service. The user 2 is used to collect data by accessing at least one external terminal device of the information system 1 on the occasion of acquiring the identity account number to be performed. A habit and usage record are acquired, and at least one role variable 20 is set based on the collected data. By way of example, the present invention uses the entrance server 11 to record the time when the user 2 requests to provide or cancel the service, and this time is the basis of the context in which the role variable 20 is set. Is considered. Alternatively, the user 2 performs positioning detection on the external terminal device used for accessing the service, and the position message of the positioning detection is regarded as the basis of the context for setting the role variable 20. For example, as a result of positioning detection, user 2 should be at a certain apartment complex in Neihu Science Park and Taipei City at some time of the day. A park area belongs to an office area, a certain apartment complex in Taipei belongs to a residential area, the above two positions are regarded as different user state factors 22 and are defined to belong to different contexts, and one role variable For example, in the context of the Inner Lake Science Park, the role variable 20 is set as an attendance identity, and in the context of a certain apartment complex in Taipei City, the role variable 20 is set as an exit identity. To do.

  As described above, the present invention allows the role variable 20 to be set by a plurality of user status factors 22, and the user 2 should be in the Inner Lake Science Park from 9 am to 5 pm a day. Most of the remaining time should be in a certain apartment complex in Taipei City. The period in which User 2 is in the Inner Lake Science Park belongs to the work period, and the Inner Lake Science Park also belongs to the office area. Thus, the above two user state factors 22 can be classified into the same role variable 20, and the role variable 20 is defined to be an attendance identity. The period during which the user 2 is in a certain apartment complex in Taipei belongs to the retirement period, and a certain apartment complex in Taipei belongs to the residential area. Therefore, the above two user state factors 22 have the same role variable 20. And the role variable 20 is defined to be a leave identity. Further, the location information of the positioning service can be obtained through a map service provider (for example, Google® Map), which will not be described in detail here.

  In addition to the context definition policy described above, the entrance server 11 may be regarded as a basis for context definition based on the habit of the user 2 browsing the homepage. The entrance server 11 is an external server used for the user 2 to access the service. Network browsing record data (for example, homepage history data, cookies) may be collected for terminal devices, which analyzes the fact that user 2 visits and browses a specific homepage at a specific time. can do. For example, user 2 can always be connected to a shopping home page at 8 pm, i.e. it can be defined as a user context factor 22 and a shopping context, and is associated with a shopping identity role variable 20. The present invention is only illustrated by an example of shopping. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the context of a certain community site / homepage, a certain newspaper homepage, or a user's original homepage is also limited. Collection may be performed.

  In addition to this, the present invention may further regard the service selected as the external terminal device for the user 2 as the basis of the context definition. For example, when the user 2 selects the service to be an AV stream, that is, this may be regarded as one context and associated with the role variable 20 serving as the viewer's identity. If the user 2 selects a service as a game on the external terminal device, that is, this may be regarded as another context and associated with the role variable 20 serving as the player identity. In certain embodiments, in the present invention, the instant communications software presented above is updated through software published by an instant communications service provider or incorporated at the manufacturer's factory and works with at least one value-added service, The user 2 directly activates the value-added service through the operation of the immediate communication software. The value-added service may be, for example, third party payment, stream AV, electronic commerce or game. In this embodiment, the information system 1 uses the external terminal device to (1) the time when the user 2 activates one of these value-added services using the immediate communication software, and ( 2) The value-added service used can be investigated, and the result of this investigation is regarded as the user state factor 22 to define one context. Furthermore, according to the present invention, a value-added service can be added to and installed in an external terminal device in the form of a mobile application program (abbreviated as APP).

  In addition, the present invention can further analyze that the user 2 sends a request for an in-use environment for accessing the service to the information system 1 through a technique such as image analysis. The result can be defined to be the context of a specific role variable 20 or one of the plurality of role variables. By way of example, the present invention is used to obtain a certain imaging module block of the service's external terminal device via the enable of user 2, the imaging module block being The usage environment can be picked up, and the analysis can be performed on the current usage environment via image identification software added to or installed in an external terminal device later. After picking up the environment of use of the place, image information waiting for identification is generated and transmitted to the information system 1, and image identification is performed on the image information waiting for identification passed to the information system 1. The system 1 is used to classify or detect the image identification result, and the image identification result is regarded as one user state factor 22 and one copy is obtained. To define the text.

  Furthermore, in one embodiment, the present invention provides a context including a plurality of contexts from the information system 1 after the information system 1 detects the context of the user 2 with at least one external terminal device of the connection. The analysis data is used to transmit the analysis data, and the context analysis data is displayed on a display interface of the external terminal device. At this time, based on the context analysis data, the user 2 can select at least one context. One role variable 20 may be set. As an example, after the information system 1 completes the context detection for the user 2, the context analysis data is provided to the user 2. The context analysis data includes a shopping context, a music appreciation context, and a game context. At this time, the user 2 can correspond to the shopping context and the shopping identity by setting the role variable 20 for the shopping context. Similarly, by setting different role variables 20 for the music appreciation context and the game context, the user 2 can correspond to the music appreciation context and the viewer identity, and the game context and the player identity correspond to each other. it can.

  Referring again to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, the present invention is based on external terminal equipment used for user 2 to access services during the process of building these role variables 20 for user 2 and associating them with a context. In addition, the progress of the construction can be displayed by the user interface 4. As shown in FIG. 2A, the progress of construction can be displayed in the form of a single progress list 41. Also, the user interface 4 can further indicate the progress of the construction via numbers by further displaying the progress percentage. Otherwise, when user 2 is in the process of building and associating these role variables 20, the entrance server 11 cannot set one user image 43 in the identity account number, Alternatively, only one identity name cannot be displayed on the user interface 4 and other images 42 of the user 2 that cannot be expressed elsewhere, for example, only the blank image shown in FIG. 2A, can be displayed, and the user 2 waits for a certain period of time. Then, the construction of these role variables 20 and corresponding identities is completed, stored in the role database 111 and associated with the identity account number of the user 2, and the user interface 4 is constructed via the progress list 41. Just show completion Without, as in FIG. 2B, further, the user 2 is set in the user image 43 in the Identity account number, or the role name is displayed in the user interface 4. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, only the progress of the construction in which the user 2 constructs these role variables 20 is displayed only by the single progress list 41, but the present invention is not limited to this. Absent. Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, in one embodiment, during the course of the user 2 building each role variable, a plurality of progress lists 41 are displayed in the user interface 4 to provide a plurality of progress lists. 41, each of the constructions of one role variable 20 is displayed. When building these role variables 20 in order, these progress lists 41 should change in order. As an example, after the user 2 registers with the entrance server 11 by the identity account number, two more role variables 20 are constructed, one of which is the role variable 20 for the leaving identity, and the other of them. Is the role variable 20 of the attendance identity, and when the role variable 20 that is the leaving identity is constructed in the corresponding context, the corresponding progress list 41 displays the construction progress and the construction is completed. Later, an image 43 of the role variable 20 corresponding to the leaving identity is displayed on the user interface 4. After that, the role variable 20 that is the attendance identity immediately displays the construction that performs the corresponding context according to another progress list 41 and does not display the image 42 of the user 2 that cannot be expressed for a while, but the role that is the attendance identity. After the construction of the variables 20 is completed, an image 44 of the role variables 20 corresponding to the attendance identities is displayed on the user interface 4, and thus the construction of these role variables 20 is completed. As described above, the present invention has been described with respect to the implementation method using only the two role variables 20. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a corresponding adjustment may be performed based on the current implementation. Good. As described above, and with further reference to FIG. 4, after the user 2 completes the construction of these role variables 20 and their context, the method according to one embodiment can be implemented. The method can also be implemented in the form of a program, and the program can be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. The method of the present invention includes the following steps.

  Step (A): A step of providing at least one service to the user 2 based on one identity account number provided by the user 2, wherein the user 2 Step set as role variable 20.

  Step (B): A plurality of role variables 20 related to the user 2 from the role database 111, each of the plurality of role variables 20 set to be associated with one context. Reading, detecting the context of user 2, converting the original role variable 20 of user 2 based on the context, and continuing the service with the role variable 20 matching the context.

  In order to describe the steps of the present invention in detail, the instant communication software exemplified above will be described as an example. Initially, step (A) is first performed, and the information system 1 connects to an external terminal device used by the user 2 via the Internet 3, and the information system 1 provides a single identity provided by the user 2. By providing an immediate communication service to the user 2 based on the account number, the user 2 can transmit a message to another user 5 by the immediate communication service. When the information system 1 provides an immediate communication service to the user 2, the information system 1 connects to the role database 111, and uses the identity account number as an index to identify the identity account number in the role database 111. Read these role variables 20 associated with. For example, when one of the role variables 20 has one preset usage file, the information system 1 gives the user 2 the role variable 20 having the preset usage file. By applying, the user 2 performs a service by using a preset role variable 20. In addition, when the information system 1 receives a service request transmitted from the user 2 via the external terminal device, the information system 1 detects the context of the user 2 for the external terminal device, and By converting the original role variable 20 of the user 2 based on the detection result, the service is continued with the role variable 20 that matches the context. Further, referring to FIG. 5 to FIG. 6B, an example will be described. The information system 1 immediately receives a request for the service of the user 2 and immediately before providing the immediate communication service to the user 2. It is detected that the user 2 is in the Inner Lake Science Park (for example, 50 shown in FIG. 5) and the time is 10:00 am, and this is set as the user state factor 22. Search for a context with When such a context exists, the user 2 determines that it is in the context, and the information system 1 determines that the context immediately before the user 2 is attendance, and the role variable 20 is that the context is attendance. The user 2 performs an immediate communication service with the attendance identities set in the role variable 20. As described above, during the process in which the information system 1 provides the immediate communication service to the user 2, the identity or context that the user 2 used immediately before is found not recorded in the role database 111. If this is the case, the information system 1 can perform the construction on the unknown identity or context of the place, which contributes to future use by adding it to other role variables 20. Furthermore, the present invention provides a case where, during the setting process presented above, the user 2 sets usage rights or other implementation restrictions based on the respective role variables 20, and the user 2 performs services according to attendance identities. In addition, another user 5 (for example, a company manager) who is set to execute immediate communication when the user 2 is only in the attendance identity contacts the user 2 through the immediate communication service, as shown in FIG. 6A. be able to. That is, when the user 2 converts to a role variable other than the attendance identity, the other user 5 regarded as the company manager cannot execute the immediate communication with the user 2. As described above, step (B) is further entered, and the present invention periodically locates and services the user 2 while the information system 1 continuously provides the service to the user 2. By detecting behavioral characteristics such as time, the context in which the user 2 performs the service is confirmed. In this way, when the information system 1 detects that the user 2 is away from the Inner Lake Science Park and is in a certain apartment complex in Taipei (for example, 51 shown in FIG. 5), the time is 7 pm. It is determined that the context of the user 2 has already caused a change, the detection result at this time is regarded as the user state factor 22, and the role variable 20 related to the user 2 and its context in the role database 111 are read. The role database 111 is searched for a context having the user state factor 22 described above. If such a context exists, it is determined that the context of the user 2 has changed, and the role in the service of the user 2 is converted and prepared. At this time, the information system 1 determines that the context immediately before the user 2 is leaving, reads the role variable 20 whose context is leaving from the role database 111, and the user 2 sets this role variable 20. Immediate communication service is provided by the retired identity. At this time, when the user 2 performs the service with the work-away identity, the other user 5 who is set to be unable to perform the immediate communication because of the work-away identity may execute the immediate communication with the user 2. The message sent to user 2 by other user 5 at this time must wait until user 2 converts it back to the attendance identity or another identity that allows communication. Can be executed. On the other hand, when the user 2 performs the service with the leave identity, another user 6 (for example, a friend) who is set to be able to perform the immediate communication with the leave identity, as shown in FIG. 2 can be contacted. Furthermore, the present invention can perform context detection during the execution process of step (B), as presented above, by an embodiment that builds these role variables 20, and thus step (B). , At least one of time, location, and behavioral characteristics may be considered a sensed target of the context. As described above, the present invention only illustrates by switching between two role contexts, but in actuality, when the user constructs these role variables, the invention is not limited to two, and more attendance Or leaving work is not considered a context limitation.

  In addition to the embodiments described above, the method of the present invention can provide a plurality of different services to the user in step (A) in one embodiment, and one service is selected by the user. Used, in step (B), the user's service conversion is considered a detection target. Here, an example is given and demonstrated by the Example of the switching service presented above. Before the explanation, first, it is assumed that the user 2 has already accessed the immediate communication service from the information system 1 using the external terminal device, and the user 2 is set as the role variable 20 of the work-away identity. Referring to FIG. 7, during the implementation process, user 2 can be based on usage needs, such as purchasing a Brown mug sold by Line (registered trademark) connected to the Internet. When trying to do so, the user 2 can be linked with an added value service (for example, Line (registered trademark) Mart) which is an online shopping mall through the function of incorporating immediate communication software. When the user 2 activates the value-added service, the information system 1 has not yet stopped execution of context detection for the external terminal device used for the user 2 to access the service, and the external terminal device Detects that the immediate communication software is to be canceled and activates a mobile application program that is an online shopping mall. At this time, the user 2 does not need to provide another identity account number, the information system 1 regards this as a service transformation and regards the mobile application program used as a user state factor 22. The role database 111 is searched for a context having the same user state factor 22. If such a context exists, the information system 1 determines that the user 2 is in this context, converts the user 2's context from leaving work to shopping, and reads the role variable 20 associated with the shopping. By applying to user 2, user 2 can shop with a shopping identity without having to provide another identity account number.

  As described above, the present invention further converts the user image 24 of the user 2 in addition to executing the usage authority or other implementation restrictions corresponding to the role variable 20 when the user 2 converts the role variable 20. Then, this role variable 20 is associated with another user image 25 that uses the role variable 20 on the spot. As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, when the user 2 is the role variable 20 in the attendance identity, the user image 24 is represented by the user image 24, and when the user 2 is the role variable 20 in the departure identity, another user image is displayed. The user 2 is expressed by 25. Thereby, the user 2 can recognize the change of the role identity by changing the mode of the user images 24 and 25. In addition to the above aspect, it can be further indicated that the role identity of the user 2 has changed through color change of the interface or by other eye-catching means.

  Further, referring to FIG. 8, from the above description, in the present invention, the opportunity that the service server 12 provides the service to the user 2 is the identity account number provided to the entrance server 11 of the user 2. It will be recognized that it is time to obtain authentication. Thus, in one embodiment, the method of the present invention provides a secondary step (C): providing the entrance server 11 allows the user 2 to authenticate the entrance server 11 with the identity account number. The method further includes accessing the service. Thereby, it is possible to confirm whether the user 2 is an agreed user who has already been registered or an agreed user that has not yet been registered through authentication for the identity account number. Furthermore, in the explanation and interpretation presented above, the user 2 will already be aware that these role variables 20 will be constructed, so that in certain embodiments, the method of the present invention will be described. Sub-step (D): Using the entrance server 11 and accessing at least one external terminal device of the service through the user 2, the user 2 collects at least one user state factor 22 in the service. And analyzing the user state factor 22 to obtain at least one context and further setting each context to be associated with one role variable 20.

  Referring to FIG. 8 again, the above embodiment will be described as an example of automatic switching. However, the role identity may be switched based on the request of the user 2. In one embodiment, the method of the present invention includes a sub-step (E): receiving a conversion request sent principally from user 2, and with the role variable 20 specified in the conversion request: The method further includes replacing the original role variable 20 of the user 2. For example, at a certain time, user 2 is in the service of immediate communication due to his / her retirement identity, and at this time he finds that user 2 is unwell and cannot concentrate on work and is going to take a vacation. To do. However, at the same time, the information system 1 does not have the context that the user 2 immediately converts to the attendance identity, so the attendance identity may cause the user 2 to contact other users 5 who are considered company managers. Can not. As a result, the user 2 sends one of the role variables 20 already stored in the role database 111 via the main dynamic conversion function included in the immediate communication software, for example, the role variable 20 of the attendance identity, By performing identity role conversion in this way, the user 2 can immediately communicate with the role variable 20 of the attendance identity, and can immediately communicate with other users 5 who are regarded as company managers. Can be made to inform vacation applications.

  Furthermore, as described above, the present invention will be described by the process of performing significant context differences. However, a situation in which two role variables 20 are set in a similar context by the user 2 is unavoidable. In one embodiment, the present invention increases one context relevance setting during the process of building these role variables 20, and the context relevance setting is assigned to a role database according to a certain configuration file format. 111 and can be read in relation to one role variable 20 in the role database 111. For example, after the user 2 has set the role variable 20, the user 2 has two role variables 20, represented by a retirement identity and a retirement father identity, respectively. Also includes a single apartment complex in Taipei and a user status factor 22 for leaving work, and the context of the leave father identity includes a user status factor 22 that activates the child video to be displayed. As described above, after the information system 1 detects the context of the user 2, when the user condition factor 22 having one apartment complex and work time in Taipei is found at the same time, whether the user condition factor 22 is present is determined. If there is no determination, the information system 1 determines that the degree of association between the immediately preceding context and the role variable 20 of the leave identity is the highest, and the user 2 performs a service using the role variable 20 of the leave identity. If there is, after the information system 1 detects, if it finds that the user has a user state factor 22 that activates the child video, it determines that it is in perfect context with the retired father identity, and the user Service is performed by the role variable 20 of the identity.

  Referring to FIG. 8 again, it can be recognized from the above description that the entrance server 11 of the present invention has a behavior feedback function. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the method of the present invention comprises the substep (F): the user 2 plays a role using the entrance server 11 to access at least one external terminal device of the service through the user 2. The method further includes collecting a user state factor 22 for converting the variable 20, analyzing the user state factor 22 to obtain at least one context, and updating one role variable 20 according to the context. In short, the present invention uses the behavior feedback function of the entrance server 11 to analyze the process in which the user 2 converts each role variable 20, and the context in which the user 2 converts the role variable 20. By classifying and learning, the entrance server 11 can convert the role variable more accurately based on the context of the user 2.

  In summary, for the method of automatic conversion of user roles based on the user context of the present invention and its information system, the method of the present invention can be applied to one identity account number provided by a user at the beginning of implementation. Based on this, at least one service is provided to the user. During the service provision process, the user is set as one role variable. The method also reads a plurality of role variables associated with the user from the role database during the process of continuously providing services. Each role variable is set so as to be associated with one context. This method detects the user's context, translates the user's original role variable based on the context, and continues the service with the role variable that matches the context. This changes the implementation method that generally requires the user's identity to be transformed by a different identity account number, allowing the user to experience the service alone with a single identity account number, based on context Can be automatically converted to different role identities.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated in detail, said description is only a more preferable Example of this invention, and the implementation range of this invention is not limited by this. That is, all equivalent changes and modifications possible based on the claims of the present invention should still be included in the claims of the present invention.
