<Table for determining destination talk room candidates>
The destination talk room candidate determination table is a table that is referred to when the destination talk room candidate determination process is executed, and an example of the table configuration of the destination talk room candidate determination table is shown in FIG. 2-1. Shown in.

Determining a destination talk room candidate includes not only determining a destination talk room, but also suggesting (suggesting) the determined destination talk room to the user as an example, not limited to the above.

The destination talk room candidate determination table is not limited to, but as an example, the category No. which is the category number for the destination talk room candidate determination and the destination talk room candidate number included in the category of this category No. A certain No, the destination talk room candidate of this No, and the possibility of being a destination talk room candidate indicating whether or not it is possible to become the destination talk room candidate are stored in association with each other.

Note that this table is just an example, and is not limited to this.
It is not necessary to store all the above information in association with each other, and some information may not be stored.
Further, although the column of "category No." is provided here for easy understanding, this column may not be provided.
Further, in determining the destination talk room candidate, this may be realized by a program instead of being realized by the above table.
This also applies to the tables described in the other embodiments.

Whether or not a destination talk room candidate is possible depends on the corresponding destination talk room candidate, and if it can be a destination talk room candidate, "○ (possible)" may be a destination talk room candidate. "× (impossible)" is set for each item that cannot be used.
In this example, No "SP03-6", "SP04-2B", and "SP05-1B" are defined as "x (impossible)" as the candidate for the destination talk room, and "○ (impossible)" for other conditions. Yes) ”is stipulated.

Hereinafter, each destination talk room candidate and its determination method will be described in detail.

<Category No. "SP01">
The category No. "SP01" is a category of "number of displays, number of taps", and is not limited to this, and includes the conditions of No. "SP01-1" and "SP01-2" as an example.
The number of displays may or may not be the frequency of display. Further, the number of taps may or may not be the tap frequency.
When the terminal 20 is a personal computer, the number of taps (tap frequency) can be read as the number of clicks (click frequency).

In No. "SP01-1", "a talk room that is frequently displayed within a set time" is defined as a destination talk room candidate.
The set time is not limited, and as an example, an arbitrary time can be set in advance on the terminal 20 side or the server 10 side.
As an example, not a limitation, if a relatively short time (as an example, not a limitation, a few hours) is set, the talk room that is displayed many times within the set time is currently required to be used by the user. It means that it is decided as a candidate for the destination talk room because it may be a high talk room.
On the other hand, when a relatively long time is set as an example rather than a limitation (a daily time as an example rather than a limitation), the talk room that is displayed many times within the set time is used by the user on a daily basis. Since it may be a talk room with a high number of times and frequency, it means that it is decided as a candidate for a destination talk room.

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, as an example, the terminal 20 acquires the number of talk rooms displayed within the set time stored in the talk room display history data of the talk-related information database 289. Therefore, it is possible to determine the destination talk room candidates in descending order of the number of times.

In No. "SP01-2", "a talk room with a large number of times of talk room information tapped within a set time" is defined as a destination talk room candidate. Also in this case, the set time can be set arbitrarily.
As an example, not a limitation, if a relatively short time (a few hours, not a limitation, as an example) is set, a talkroom with a large number of talkroom information tapped within the set time will have less time. This means that the talk room information may be tapped again by the user of the terminal 20 before the lapse of time, and the talk room corresponding to the talk room information may be displayed, so that the talk room is determined as a destination talk room candidate.
On the other hand, if a relatively long time (as an example, not a limitation, daily time) is set as an example rather than a limitation, a talkroom with a large number of talkroom information tapped within the set time is routine. Since there is a possibility that the talk room is used frequently or frequently by the user, it means that the talk room is determined as a destination talk room candidate.

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, as an example, the terminal 20 acquires the number of times of the talk room information tapped within the set time stored in the talk room operation history data of the talk-related information database 289. Then, the destination talk room candidates can be determined in descending order of the number of times.

These conditions are not limited, but are examples of conditions relating to the use of the chat room by the terminal user.
Further, the information such as the number of displays (display frequency) and the number of taps (tap frequency) is an example of information on the terminal user and information on the use of the chat room by the terminal user.

<Category No. "SP02">
The category No. "SP02" is a category of "information on the displayed talk room", and is not limited to this, and includes, as an example, the destination talk room candidates of No. "SP02-1" and "SP02-2".

In No. "SP02-1", "a talk room related to the context in the displayed talk room" is defined as a destination talk room candidate.
The "context in the displayed talk room" is not limited, but as an example, the content transmitted by the user of the terminal 20 (text content, image content, audio content, etc., as an example, not limited) or the terminal. Users different from the 20 users (other users in the case of "one-to-one talk room", group members in the case of "group talk room", OA operators in the case of "OA talk room", and the following , Comprehensively referred to as "other user") means the context and context determined based on the content received from.
Since it is a talk room related to the meaning in the talk room being displayed, the user is highly interested and may be asked to display this talk room, so it is decided to be a candidate for the destination talk room. means.

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, as an example, the terminal 20 determines the context based on the content stored in the talk history data of the talk-related information database 289, and the movement related to the determined context. It is possible to determine the destination talk room candidate.

As an example, but not a limitation, if it is determined that a travel-related content is being talked in the talk room, the travel-related talk room can be determined as a destination talk room candidate. ..

In No. "SP02-2", "a talk room related to another user in the displayed talk room" is defined as a destination talk room candidate.
The "other user in the talking room being displayed" means, for example, a user different from the user of the terminal 20 in the talk room. This "other user" includes the other user in the case of "one-to-one talk room", the group member in the case of "group talk room", and the OA operator in the case of "OA talk room". Is included.
A talk room related to another user in the displayed talk room is highly related to the user of the terminal 20, and may be requested to display this talk room. Therefore, the talk room is determined as a destination talk room candidate. Means that.

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, as an example, the terminal 20 acquires the information related to the talk room to which the other user belongs stored in the friend data 284, and selects the destination talk room candidate. It can be determined.

<Category No. "SP03">
The category No. "SP03" is a category of "attribute information of other talk rooms", and includes, as an example, not limited to, the destination talk room candidates of Nos. "SP03-1" to "SP03-6".

In No. "SP03-1", "a talk room with a new message" is defined as a candidate for a destination talk room.
"A talk room with a new message" means, as an example, not a limitation, a talk room that has received a new message.
A talk room with a new message has a high viewing priority for the user and may be requested to display this talk room, so it means that the talk room is determined as a destination talk room candidate.

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, as an example, the terminal 20 acquires the presence / absence of a new message stored in the talk history data of the talk-related information database 289, and determines the destination talk room candidate. Can be done.

As a candidate for the destination talk room of No. "SP03-2", "the talk room mentioned by me" is defined.
The "talk room mentioned by oneself" means, for example, a talk room that has received a message addressed to oneself (the user of the terminal 20) without limitation.
The talk room mentioned to you has a high browsing priority for the user and may be required to display this talk room, so it means that the talk room is selected as a destination talk room candidate.

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, as an example, the terminal 20 acquires the presence / absence of a message mentioned to itself stored in the talk history data of the talk-related information database 289, and the destination is not limited. It is possible to determine a talk room candidate.

In No. "SP03-3", "a talk room with an unread message" is defined as a candidate for a destination talk room.

Here, "read" can be defined as a term having the opposite meaning of "unread".
As the condition for the message to be read (hereinafter referred to as "read condition"), any of the following conditions can be applied as an example, not limited.
(A) The message was displayed.
(B) A certain amount of time (not limited, but a few seconds to 10 seconds) has passed since the message was displayed.
(C) After the message is displayed, the displayed message is tapped (clicked).
(D) After the message was displayed, a reply was made to the message.
(E) When the message is a moving image message, the moving image has been reproduced.
(F) When the message is a moving image message, a certain period of time (not limited to a few seconds to 10 seconds) has elapsed since the moving image was played back.

In this case, the "unread" state is not limited, but can be defined as a state that does not satisfy the above-mentioned read condition as an example.
The "unread" state is a kind of state in which the user has not read the message (content).

The "talk room with unread messages" means, as an example, not limited to, a talk room with the above unread messages.
A talk room with unread messages has a high viewing priority for the user and may be requested to display this talk room, so it means that the talk room is selected as a destination talk room candidate.

The destination talk room candidate may or may not be determined based on the number of unread messages (hereinafter referred to as "unread number").
As an example, not a limitation, even if a talk room having an unread number of a specified number or a set number or more (as an example, not a limitation, an unread number of 10 or more) is determined as a destination talk room candidate. You may or may not do so.

On the other hand, a talk room having an extremely large number of unreads (not limited, but as an example, a talk room having an unread number of 30 or more) may not be determined as a candidate for a destination talk room. This is because the user may have left the talk room without (intentionally) browsing.

In addition, when displaying the talk room information corresponding to the destination talk room candidate with an unread message, the unread number is displayed at a predetermined position as an example instead of the limitation (as an example, not the limitation, the upper right part of the talk room information). Information that can be specified by the user (as an example, not a limitation, a number corresponding to the unread number, an image for specifying the unread number, etc.) may or may not be displayed.

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, as an example, the terminal 20 acquires the presence / absence and the number of unread messages stored in the talk history data of the talk-related information database 289, and the destination talk room is determined. Candidates can be determined.

The information such as the number of unreads is not limited, but is an example of information regarding viewing of the content displayed in the second chat room by the user of the terminal.

In No. "SP03-4", "a talk room registered as a favorite" is defined as a destination talk room candidate.
The "talk room registered as a favorite" is not limited, but as an example, in a messaging service in which a user of the terminal 20 can register an arbitrary talk room as a favorite, the user of the terminal 20 registers it as a favorite. Means the talk room you are in.
A talk room registered as a favorite is of high importance to the user and may be requested to display this talk room, so it means that the talk room is selected as a destination talk room candidate.

In this embodiment, as an example of the destination talk room candidate of No. "SP03-4", an example of a talk room registered as a favorite by the user of the terminal 20 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to such a form. ..
As an example of the destination talk room candidate of No. "SP03-4", as an example, not limited to, when the user of the terminal 20 is configured to be able to pin any talk room in the messaging application, the terminal It may be a talk room pinned by 20 users.
This "pinning a talk room" is a kind of function that can fix a frequently used talk room to a predetermined position on the screen (as an example, not a limitation, at the top of the screen) as an example, not as a limitation. ..

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, as an example, the terminal 20 acquires information on whether or not the talk room stored in the talk room data of the talk-related information database 289 is registered as a favorite. Therefore, the candidate for the destination talk room can be determined.

In No. "SP03-5", "a talk room in a folder" is defined as a candidate for a destination talk room.
The "talk room in a folder" is not limited to, but as an example, in a messaging service in which a user of terminal 20 can divide an arbitrary talk room into folders, a talk put in a folder by the user of terminal 20 is used. Means a room.
The fact that the talk room is in the folder is important to the user and may be requested to display this talk room, so it means that the talk room is decided as a destination talk room candidate.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the messaging application has a "folder" function as a kind of function that enables a user to organize an arbitrary talk room, as an example without limitation. Further, this folder is not limited, but as an example, the user can arbitrarily set the name.
Since the talk room arbitrarily selected by the user can be put in the folder arbitrarily named by the user, it is possible to organize a plurality of talk rooms according to the user and improve the convenience of the user. ..
Specifically, the user puts a talk room related to his / her work (one-to-one talk room, group talk room, OA talk room, etc.) into a folder with a name of "work-related", and what is his / her work? Talk by putting talk rooms (one-to-one talk room, group talk room, OA talk room, etc.) related to unrelated private (family, friends, hobbies, etc.) into a folder with the name "private". The rooms can be clearly organized.

It should be noted that this folder is not limited, but as an example, predetermined attribute information is set, and as an example, not limited, it may have a function of automatically dividing the talk room into folders. The attribute information of the predetermined folder is not limited, but is, for example, "only the talk room with unread messages is contained", "only the OA talk room is contained", and the like.

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, as an example, the terminal 20 acquires information on whether or not the talk room stored in the talk room data of the talk-related information database 289 is in the folder. , It is possible to determine the destination talk room candidate.

In No. "SP03-6", "a talk room that is set to be hidden" is defined as a candidate for a destination talk room. In the condition of No. "SP03-6", "No (x)" is defined as whether or not the destination talk room candidate is possible.
The "hidden talk room" is not limited, but as an example, in a messaging service in which the user of the terminal 20 can set any talk room to be hidden, the user of the terminal 20 is set to hide. Means a talking room.
It means that the talk room that is set to be hidden is not determined as a destination talk room candidate because it may be a talk room that the user does not want to display.

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, as an example, the terminal 20 acquires information on whether or not the talk room stored in the talk room data of the talk-related information database 289 is set to be hidden. Therefore, the candidate for the destination talk room can be determined.

<Category No. "SP04">
The category No. "SP04" is a category of "user attribute information", and the destination talk room candidates of No. "SP04-1", "SP04-2A", and "SP04-2B" are not limited to this, but as an example. included.

In No. "SP04-1", "a talk room related to a user's hobbies and tastes" is defined as a destination talk room candidate.
The "talk room related to the user's hobbies and tastes" means, as an example, not limited to, a talk room related to the type of talk room of the official account by the OA operator that the user of the terminal 20 has already registered as a friend. .. As an example, not limited, when the type of talk room of the official account by the OA business operator (not limited, as an example, Cafe A) that the user of the terminal 20 has already registered as a friend is a cafe type. This includes a talk room related to a talk room, such as determining a talk room of an official account by another OA business operator (not limited, but as an example, Cafe B) as a candidate for a destination talk room.
A talk room related to a user's hobbies and tastes is likely to match the user's hobbies and tastes, and may be required to display this talk room. means.

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, as an example, the terminal 20 acquires the information related to the type of the talk room of the official account by the OA operator stored in the friend data 284, and the destination is not limited. It is possible to determine a talk room candidate.

In No. "SP04-2A", "a talk room related to the user's location information" is defined as a destination talk room candidate.
The "talk room related to the user's position information" is not limited to, but as an example, means a talk room related to the position information in a terminal capable of acquiring the position information of the terminal 20. As an example, not a limitation, an official account by an OA operator of a store that acquires the location information of the user of the terminal 20 and is within a predetermined range (not a limitation but a range within 500? As an example) from the location information of the terminal 20. This includes such things as determining the OA talk room of OA as a candidate for a destination talk room.
The talk room related to the user's location information can be expected to be of high interest to the user, and since this talk room is likely to be displayed, the convenience of the user can be improved, and the destination talk room can be improved. It means being proposed as a candidate.

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, as an example, the terminal 20 acquires the position information detected by the position calculation information detection unit 29B and determines the destination talk room candidate. Can be done.

In No. "SP04-2B", "a talk room related to the user's location information" is defined as a destination talk room candidate.
As an example, not a limitation, when the location information of the user of the terminal 20 is acquired and the location information of the terminal 20 is outside the predetermined range (as an example, not the limitation, when the user is in a range of 100 km or more away from home), work is performed. You may be out of your normal range of activity, that is, you may not be working (spend your leisure time). For this reason, this includes things that do not determine work-related talk rooms as destination talk room candidates.
Since the talk room in this example may have a low priority for the user, it can be prevented from being determined as a destination talk room candidate.

<Category No. "SP05">
The category No. "SP05" is a category of "Other", and is not limited to this, and includes, as an example, the destination talk room candidates of No. "SP05-1A", "SP05-1B", and "SP05-2".

In No. "SP05-1A", "a talk room related to work when it is a weekday" is defined as a candidate for a destination talk room.
"Work-related talk room on weekdays" is not limited to, but as an example, a work-related workplace during the weekday (Monday-Friday) period when the user of the terminal 20 is considered to be working. It means a group talk room composed of members.
Work-related talkrooms on weekdays are of high importance to the user during the weekday period and may display this talkroom, which means that they are selected as destination talkroom candidates. ..

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, the terminal 20 acquires the clock information (timekeeping information) output by the clock unit 29A as an example, not the limitation, and the terminal 20 is the talk-related example, not the limitation. Information on whether or not the talk room stored in the talk room data of the information database 289 is a work-related talk room can be acquired, and a destination talk room candidate can be determined.

In No. "SP05-1B", "a talk room related to work when it is a holiday" is defined as a candidate for a destination talk room.
The "work-related talk room when it is a holiday" is not limited to, but as an example, a work-related workplace during a holiday (Saturday and Sunday) in which the user of the terminal 20 is considered not to be working. It means a group talk room composed of members.
If it is a holiday, work-related talk rooms are less important to the user during the holiday period and are less likely to display this talk room, so do not decide as a destination talk room candidate. Can be done.

In the determination of the destination talk room candidate, the terminal 20 acquires the clock information (timekeeping information) output by the clock unit 29A as an example, not the limitation, and the terminal 20 is the talk-related example, not the limitation. Information on whether or not the talk room stored in the talk room data of the information database 289 is a work-related talk room can be acquired, and a destination talk room candidate can be determined.

In No. "SP05-2", "a talk room related to another application when specific information is received by another application" is defined as a destination talk room candidate.
By "other app" is meant, by example, but not limited to, an application for realizing a service different from the messaging application for realizing a messaging service. The other application can be, as an example, not a limitation, a "weather application" for realizing a weather forecast service (hereinafter referred to as "weather service").

Further, the "specific information" is not limited, but can be useful information for the user of the terminal 20 as an example. As an example, but not a limitation, when the above-mentioned weather application is applied, the specific information can be information that the probability of precipitation within one hour is 50% or more in the weather application.

Further, the "talk room related to the application" means, as an example, not limited to, an OA talk room of an official account by an OA business operator that provides services realized by other applications. When applying the above weather application as an example, not limited, the "talk room related to the app" is not limited, but as an example, the OA talk room of the official account by the OA business operator that provides the weather application. be able to.

<Second modification (1)>
In the second embodiment, an example in which the destination talk room candidate determination process is executed by the terminal 20 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this.
As an example, not the limitation, the destination talk room candidate determination process may or may not be executed by the server 10.

<Processing>
In this modification, when the first talk room is displayed, the server 10 executes a destination talk room candidate determination process for determining a candidate for the destination talk room. For convenience, the destination talk room candidate determination process executed by the server 10 is referred to as "second destination talk room candidate determination process".

FIG. 2-6 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing executed by each device in this modification. In this figure, the process executed by the control unit 21 of the terminal 20 is shown on the left side, and the process executed by the control unit 11 of the server 10 is shown on the right side.
Here, in the messaging application, it is assumed that the user of the terminal 20 is already registered in the first talk room and the second talk room.

The same steps as those in the above-mentioned flowchart are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted again.
This also applies to each of the other embodiments and modifications.

After A110, the control unit 21 of the terminal 20 makes a destination talk room candidate request to the server 10 for a destination talk room candidate (information on the destination talk room candidate) to the server 10 by communication I / F 22 (). A112).

In response to this request, the control unit 11 of the server 10 executes the second destination talk room candidate determination process (S110).
In this second destination talk room candidate determination process, the control unit 11 of the server 10 determines the destination talk room candidate based on the above-mentioned destination talk room candidate determination table.
In this case, on the server 10 side, as an example, not limited to the above, information about the user of the terminal 20 and information about the terminal 20 can be stored and managed by the account registration data 153 or the like. In this case, the control unit 11 of the server 10 can acquire information from these data, and based on the acquired information, can determine a destination talk room candidate by the same method as the terminal 20.

Of the information used to determine the destination talk room candidate (information necessary to determine the destination talk room candidate), although it is not stored in the storage unit 15 of the server 10, the terminal 20 If there is information stored in the storage unit 28, the server 10 can acquire the information from the terminal 20 and then determine the destination talk room candidate.

Next, the control unit 11 of the server 10 transmits the destination talk room candidate determination information including the destination talk room candidate determined in the second destination talk room candidate determination process to the terminal 20 by the communication I / F 22 (S120). ).

When the destination talk room candidate information is received from the server 10 by the communication I / F 22, the control unit 21 of the terminal 20 causes the display unit 24 to display the icon type talk room information based on the received destination talk room candidate determination information. (A125). That is, the icon-type talk room information corresponding to the destination talk room candidate included in the destination talk room candidate determination information received from the server 10 is displayed by the same method as the method described in step A120 of FIG. 1-11. Let me.
Then, the control unit 21 of the terminal 20 advances the processing to the A130.

In this process, the destination talk room candidate determination information including the determined destination talk room candidate is transmitted from the server 10 to the terminal 20, but the present invention is not limited to this.
As an example, not a limitation, the icon-type talk room information corresponding to the determined destination talk room candidate is transmitted from the server 10 to the terminal 20, and the icon-type talk room information is displayed on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20. You may do so.

In addition, the user may not want the server 10 to refer to and use information about the terminal 20, information about the user, information about chat contents between users, and the like without permission.
Therefore, as an example, not limited, the server 10 confirms that the information may be referred to and used on the server 10 side according to the terms of use, etc., and when the user consents (approves), the server 10 uses the information. It can be referenced and used.
Further, as an example, not limited to the above-mentioned information on the chat content in the open chat, the server 10 may be made available without the user's approval.

To give one example, when it is determined that the sauna is being talked about in the open chat room (first talk room), the control unit 11 of the server 10 executes the context determination process. , Judge that the theme is sauna. Then, the control unit 11 of the server 10 can determine an open chat room having a sauna theme, an OA talk room of an OA operator of the sauna, or the like as a destination talk room.

According to this modification, since the destination talk room candidate is determined by the server, it is not necessary for the terminal side to determine the destination talk room candidate, and the processing load of the terminal can be reduced.

It should be noted that these contents also apply to each other embodiment and each modification related to the display of the icon type talk room information, and each example and each modification related to the display of the switchable talk room information described in detail later. It is also applicable.

<Second modification (2)>
In addition to the method described in the second embodiment, as an example, not limited to the method, a destination talk room candidate may be determined based on the information input via the input unit of the terminal 20. As an example, not limited to, even if the destination talk room candidate is determined based on the sound information (including voice information) input from the sound input unit 25 and the image information captured by the image pickup unit 27. good.

Specifically, as an example, not limited to, when the user name of a specific user, the group name of a specific group, or information related thereto is input by the sound input unit 25, the talk room of that user or The group talk room of the group may be determined as a candidate for the destination talk room. Similarly, when a specific user is imaged by the image pickup unit 27, the talk room of that user or the group talk room including the user may be determined as a destination talk room candidate.

Further, as an example, not limited to, when a term related to the work of the user of the terminal 20 is input from the sound input unit 25, or an object related to the work of the user of the terminal 20 is imaged by the image pickup unit 27, the terminal The talk room related to the work of the 20 users may be determined as a destination talk room candidate.

These can be realized by the control unit 21 of the terminal 20 performing sound recognition processing (including voice recognition processing) and image recognition processing on the input information, for example, without limitation.

<Third Example>
The third embodiment is an embodiment relating to the conditions and timing for displaying the talk room information.
The contents described in the third embodiment can be applied to any of the other embodiments and the other modifications.
Further, the same components as those already mentioned are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted again.

In this embodiment, a case where a process of determining whether or not the terminal 20 displays the talk room information (hereinafter, referred to as “talk room information display determination process”) is performed will be exemplified.

<Talk room information display condition table>
The talk room information display condition table is a table that is referred to when the talk room information display determination process is executed, and an example of the table configuration of the talk room information display condition table, which is an example thereof, is shown in FIG. 3-1.

In the talk room information display condition table, the condition No., which is the number of the talk room information display condition, and the talk room information display condition of this No. are stored in association with each other, as an example, not limited.

Hereinafter, each talk room information display condition and its determination method will be described in detail.

<Condition No. "SP11-1" to "SP11-4">
The condition Nos. "SP11-1" to "SP11-4" are "conditions relating to the first talk room".

In the condition No. "SP11-1", "a specific context has been detected" is defined as a talk room information display condition.
The context means the context, context, context, etc. of the content displayed in the talk room.

As one method, the control unit 21 of the terminal 20 can determine the end of the talk by using an algorithm that recognizes the context.

Further, as another method, content suggesting the end of the talk is registered in advance on the terminal 20 side or the server 10 side, and the control unit 21 of the terminal 20 determines the end of the talk based on the registered content. Can be done.
As an example, not a limitation, you can register specific text content such as "Goodbye", "See you again", and "OK".

This condition means that when a specific context is detected in the first talk room, it is determined that the talk room information is displayed because the talk in the first talk room may have ended.

In the determination of whether or not to display the talk room information, the talk room information is not limited, but as an example, whether or not to display the talk room information based on the history of the contents stored in the talk history data of the talk-related information database 289. Can be determined.

In the condition No. "SP11-2", "a stamp has been continuously pressed more than a set number of times" is defined as a talk room information display condition.
The number of times of setting is not limited, and as an example, an arbitrary number of times can be set in advance on the terminal 20 side or the server 10 side.

This condition is that if the stamp is pressed consecutively in the first talk room more than the set number of times (not limited, but five times or more as an example), the talk in the first talk room may have ended, so talk. It means that it is determined that the room information is displayed.

In the determination of whether or not to display the talk room information, the user of the own terminal 20 to the other user is determined based on the history of the contents stored in the talk history data of the talk-related information database 289, not only as an example but as an example. When the content of the stamp sent to is continuous for a set number or more, it can be determined that the talk room information is displayed.

In the condition No. "SP11-3", "the set time has elapsed without inputting a message" is defined as the talk room information display condition.
The set time is not limited, and as an example, an arbitrary time can be set in advance on the terminal 20 side or the server 10 side.
This condition is that if the set time (not limited, but 5 minutes as an example) elapses without inputting a message in the first talk room, the talk in the first talk room may have ended, so talk. It means that it is determined that the room information is displayed.

In the determination of whether or not to display the talk room information, the terminal 20 acquires the clock information (timekeeping information) output by the clock unit 29A as an example, not the limitation, and the terminal 20 is not a limitation but an example. However, based on the input history of the message specified from the talk history data of the talk-related information database 289, when the set time has elapsed without input since the latest message was input, the talk room information Can be determined to be displayed.

In the condition No. "SP11-4", "the set time has elapsed without sending or receiving a message" is defined as the talk room information display condition.
The set time is not limited, and as an example, an arbitrary time can be set in advance on the terminal 20 side or the server 10 side.
This condition is that if the set time (not limited to 5 minutes, for example) elapses without sending or receiving messages in the first talk room, the talk in the first talk room may have ended, so talk. It means that it is determined to display the room information.

In the determination of whether or not to display the talk room information, the terminal 20 acquires the clock information (timekeeping information) output by the clock unit 29A as an example, not the limitation, and the terminal 20 is not a limitation but an example. However, if the set time has elapsed without sending or receiving a message since the latest message was sent or received based on the message transmission / reception history stored in the talk history data of the talk-related information database 289, the talk room It can be determined that the information is displayed.

<Condition No. "SP11-5" to "SP11-8">
The condition Nos. "SP11-5" to "SP11-8" are "conditions relating to the second talk room".

In the condition No. "SP11-5", "a new message has been received" is defined as a talk room information display condition.
This condition means that when a new message is received, the talk room in which the new message is displayed may have a high viewing priority for the user, and therefore it is determined to display the talk room information.
In this case, the talk room information including at least the talk room information corresponding to the talk room satisfying this condition can be displayed as an example, not the limitation.

The determination as to whether or not to display the talk room information is not limited, but as an example, when it is determined that a new message has been received from the server 10 by the communication I / F22, it is determined to display the talk room information. Can be done.

In the condition No. "SP11-6", "the set time has elapsed with the talk room mentioned by oneself" is defined as the talk room information display condition.
The set time is not limited, and as an example, an arbitrary time can be set in advance on the terminal 20 side or the server 10 side.
This condition is that if the set time (not limited, for example, 10 minutes) elapses with a talk room mentioned to you, that talk room has a high viewing priority for the user. Since it may be a talk room that has not been browsed for a while, it means that it is determined to display the talk room information.
In this case, the talk room information including at least the talk room information corresponding to the talk room satisfying this condition can be displayed as an example, not the limitation.

In the determination of whether or not to display the talk room information, the terminal 20 acquires the clock information (timekeeping information) output by the clock unit 29A as an example, not the limitation, and is not limited but the talk-related example. Refers to the talk information data in the information database 289, and determines that the talk room information is displayed when there is a message mentioned to oneself and the set time has elapsed since the message was received. can do.

In the condition No. "SP11-7", "the set time has elapsed with a talk room having an unread message" is defined as the talk room information display condition. Also in this case, the set time can be set arbitrarily.
This condition is that if there is a talk room with unread messages and the set time (10 minutes, not a limitation) elapses, it will be viewed for a while even though the viewing priority is high for the user. It means that it is determined that the talk room information is displayed because the talk room may not have been used.
In this case, the talk room information including at least the talk room information corresponding to the talk room satisfying this condition can be displayed as an example, not the limitation.

It should be noted that it may or may not be determined whether or not the talk room information is displayed based on the number of unread items.
As an example, not a limitation, a talk room having an unread number of 1st specified number (or 1st set number) or more (not limited, as an example, an unread number of 10 or more) is a 2nd specified number (or 2nd set number). When the above (as an example, not limited to 3 or more), it may be determined that the talk room information is displayed, or it may not be so.

In the determination of whether or not to display the talk room information, the terminal 20 acquires the clock information (timekeeping information) output by the clock unit 29A as an example, not the limitation, and the terminal 20 is not a limitation but an example. However, it is possible to acquire the presence / absence and the number of unread messages stored in the talk history data, and determine whether or not to display the talk room information.

In the condition No. "SP11-8", "the set time has elapsed with the talk room registered as a favorite" is defined as the talk room information display condition. Also in this case, the set time can be set arbitrarily.
As an example, not a limitation, a talk room that has been set for a set time (10 minutes as an example, not a limitation) with a talk room registered as a favorite is of high importance to the user, but for a while. Since it may be a talk room that has not been browsed for a while, it means that it is determined to display the talk room information.
In this case, the talk room information including at least the talk room information corresponding to the talk room satisfying this condition can be displayed as an example, not the limitation.

In the determination of whether or not to display the talk room information, the terminal 20 acquires the clock information (timekeeping information) output by the clock unit 29A as an example, not the limitation, and the terminal 20 is not a limitation but an example.

In the condition No. "SP11-9", "the set time has elapsed with the talk room in the folder existing" is defined as the talk room information display condition. Also in this case, the set time can be set arbitrarily.
This condition will be viewed for a while if the set time (10 minutes, not a limitation) has passed with the talk room in the folder, even though it is of great importance to the user. It means that it is determined that the talk room information is displayed because the talk room may not have been used.
In this case, the talk room information including at least the talk room information corresponding to the talk room satisfying this condition can be displayed as an example, not the limitation.

In the determination of whether or not to display the talk room information, the terminal 20 acquires the clock information (timekeeping information) output by the clock unit 29A as an example, not the limitation, and the terminal 20 is not a limitation but an example. Acquires information on whether or not the talk room stored in the talk room information data of the talk-related information database 289 is in the folder, and determines whether or not to display the talk room information. Can be done.

<Display screen>
FIG. 3-2 shows the user A. It is a figure which shows an example of the transition of the screen displayed on the display part 24 of the terminal 20A of A.

Here, in the talk room information display determination process, the talk room is based on the fact that the condition "stamp has been continuously pressed more than the set number of times" of the condition No. "SP11-2" is satisfied as the talk room information display condition. An example of a display screen when it is determined to display information will be described.
In this example, it is determined that the talk room information is displayed when the stamp is continuously pressed a set number of times or more (not limited, but as an example, five times or more) in the first talk room.

Further, in this example, in the first destination talk room candidate determination process, it is assumed that the “talk room that has been displayed many times within the set time” of No. “SP01-1” is determined as the destination talk room candidate. explain. Specifically, in the first destination talk room candidate determination process, as an example, not a limitation, a talk room (as an example, not a limitation) that is displayed many times within a set time (as an example, not a limitation). , Talk room for talking with user CC, talk room for talking with user DD, talk room for talking with user EE) is the destination talk It shall be decided as a room candidate.

In the screen on the left of FIG. 3-2, the user A. A is user B. A character (“BB” in this example) indicating that the room is for talking to B is displayed.
Below that, User A. A and user B. A talk area for interactively talking with B is configured, and the user B. who is the other party is on the left side of the screen. The message of B is the user A. who is himself on the right side of the screen. It is configured to display the message of A.

On the left screen of FIG. 3-2, the icon type talk room information is not displayed because the talk room information display condition is not satisfied.

In the central screen of FIG. 3-2, as an example, not limited to the user B. The state in which the stamp is received once from B is shown. Specifically, user B. Stamp ST1 is displayed as the first stamp received from B.

After that, user B. It is assumed that the stamp is received from B four times in a row. Specifically, user B. The stamp ST4 and the stamp ST5 are displayed as the fourth stamp and the fifth stamp among the five stamps continuously received from B.
In this case, the user B. who is the other user. It means that the stamp is received from B five times in a row, and the talk room information display condition is satisfied. As a result, the screen shown on the right screen of FIG. 3-2 is displayed as an example, not a limitation.

In this case, based on the fact that the talk room information display condition (condition No. "11-2" in this example) is satisfied, the icon-type talk room information display area ER1 at the bottom of the screen is not limited to the user, but as an example. A plurality of including the name "User CC" and the corresponding icon, the user name "User DD" and the corresponding icon, and the user name "User EE" and the corresponding icon. Icon type talk room information is displayed.

<Processing>
In this embodiment, when the first talk room is displayed and the first destination talk room candidate determination process for determining the destination talk room candidate is executed, whether or not to display the icon type talk room information is displayed. The talk room information display determination process to be determined is executed by the terminal 20.

FIG. 3-3 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing executed by the control unit 21 of the terminal 20 in this embodiment.

Then, if it is determined that the information has been made (A660: YES), the control unit 21 controls to switch the display from the displayed first talk room to the second talk room corresponding to the input switchable talk room information. (A670). Then, the control unit 21 ends the process.

If it is determined in A660 that the input for the switchable talk room information has not been made (A660: NO), the control unit 21 determines whether or not to end the process (A690). If it is determined that the processing is to be continued (A690: NO), the control unit 21 returns the processing to A640. On the other hand, if it is determined to end the process (A690: YES), the control unit 21 ends the process.

If it is determined in A620 that the switchable talk room information display condition is not satisfied (A620: NO), the control unit 21 determines whether or not to end the process (A695). If it is determined that the processing is to be continued (A695: NO), the control unit 21 returns the processing to A620. On the other hand, if it is determined to end the process (A695: YES), the control unit 21 ends the process.

As described in the second modification, the server 10 may determine the destination talk room candidate.
In this case, the process of FIG. 6-3 may be rewritten according to the process of FIG. 2-6 described above, as an example, not limited to the above process.
Specifically, as an example, not a limitation, when it is determined that the switchable talk room information display condition is satisfied in A620 of FIG. 6-3 (A620: YES), the control unit 21 of the terminal 20 is shown in FIG. 2-6. Step A112 is executed.
