Information and/or data processed by processor 334 may be provided to user terminal 210 via communication module 336 and network 220. In one example, the processor 334 may request permission from a first user account included in a first talk room of the instant messaging application for a second user account to access content associated with the first user account (e.g., A request may be received indicating an intent to grant access to a second user account. Here, the second user account can be included in the first talk room. Further, the content related to the first user account may include content related to a second chat room in which the first user account is included. In one example, the processor 334 can provide a connecting link through which the second user account can access content associated with the first user account via the second user account's first talk room. Here, the accessible link includes a link that allows a second user terminal associated with the second user account to remotely connect to the first user terminal associated with the first user account. I can do it.

In one embodiment, the processor 334 forwards a message regarding permission for the second user account to access content associated with the second chat room to a third user account included in the second chat room; It is possible to receive a response from user account No. 3 regarding whether or not access is permitted. Thereafter, processor 334 determines whether the second user account is authorized to use the third user account based on the received third user account response (e.g., a response indicating granting access, a request indicating attempting to grant access, etc.). A connecting link that allows access to content associated with the second chat room can be provided via the first chat room of the second user account. In contrast, if processor 334 receives a request to block access from a third user account (i.e., an access blocking request), processor 334 may block access to content associated with the second chat room by the second user account. Can be blocked.

In one embodiment, the processor 334 generates an analysis of the text included in the first chatroom, and based on the generated analysis, the processor 334 generates an analysis via the first chatroom of the first user account. A message may be forwarded regarding permission for the second user account to access content associated with the first user account. In one embodiment, the processor 334 determines a range of recommended content based on an analysis of at least one of content associated with the first user account or text included in the first chat room; The determined range of recommended content can be provided via the first talk room of the first user account.

In another embodiment, the content sharing method 400 may be performed while at least one processor of a user terminal and at least one processor of an information processing system communicate information required for content sharing with each other.

Content sharing method 400 may begin by receiving user input granting access to content associated with a first user account included in a first talk room of an instant messaging application (S410). For example, the processor can receive user input granting access to content associated with the first user account in response to a message regarding permission granting and/or a request for permission for the second user account.

Subsequently, the processor may determine at least one content that is permitted to be accessed from among the plurality of content associated with the first user account (S420). Here, the at least one content may include content related to a second chat room in which the first user account is included. Additionally, the processor can determine an access permission period for the determined at least one content. In one embodiment, the processor receives user input selecting at least one content to be allowed access from a plurality of content associated with the first user account; At least one piece of content that is permitted to be accessed from among a plurality of pieces of content associated with the account can be determined.

The processor allows the second user account included in the first talk room to access the at least one content determined in step S420 (S430). For example, if the current point in time is within the access permission period, the processor allows the at least one content to be accessed by the second user account. Thereby, at least one content may be output via the first talk room of the second user account.

In one embodiment, a message is forwarded to a third user account included in the second chat room regarding permission to access content associated with the second chat room, and the processor controls the access of the third user account. Based on the permission request, the second user account is allowed to access content associated with the second chat room. At this time, a message may be output via the second talk room indicating that the second user account is accessing content related to the second talk room. Alternatively, a message regarding permission to access content associated with the second chat room is forwarded to a third user account included in the second chat room, and the processor blocks access to the third user account. Based on the request, the second user account's access to content associated with the second chat room can be blocked.

In one embodiment, the processor receives a request for permission to access content associated with the first user account from a second user account, and the processor receives the request for permission to access content associated with the first user account, and the processor receives the request for permission to access the content associated with the first user account, and the processor receives the request for permission to access the content associated with the first user account; Messages related to requests can be output. Thereafter, the processor can receive user input granting access to content associated with the first user account in response to the output message. Here, the access permission request may include information regarding the content requested to be accessed by the second user account. At this time, the processor determines at least one content that is permitted to be accessed from among the plurality of content associated with the first user account based on information regarding the content requested to be accessed by the second user account. can.

In one embodiment, the processor sends content associated with the first user account via the first chat room of the first user account based on the analysis results for the text included in the first chat room. A message regarding permission to access the second user account can be output. At this time, the processor may receive a user input to permit access to the content associated with the first user account, in response to the output message regarding whether or not access is permitted.

In one embodiment, the processor determines the range of recommended content based on an analysis of at least one of content associated with the first user account or text included in the first chat room. By outputting via the talk room and selecting at least one content from the range of output recommended content, it is possible to determine at least one content to which access is permitted. For example, the processor can determine at least one piece of content that is permitted to be accessed based on user input selecting at least one piece of content from a range of output recommended content.

In one embodiment, the processor can output a message indicating that the second user account is accessing the determined at least one content via the first chat room of the first user account. Additionally or alternatively, the processor can receive user input blocking access to the at least one content and block the second user account's access to the at least one content based on such user input.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating example operations 510 and 520 for granting another user access to content or requesting permission to access content of another user, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In one example, a user can allow other users included in the chat room to access their content through a chat room in an instant messaging application. In another example, a user can request permission to access other users' content through a chat room in an instant messaging application to the content of other users included in the chat room.

As shown in a first act 510, a processor (eg, at least one processor of a user terminal) can display a button 512 associated with "access content" on a display via "Chatroom X." The processor may then receive user input to a button 512 associated with "Access Content" displayed on the display. In response to such user input, the processor displays an "Allow access to my content" button 522 and a "Request access to content" button 524 on the display, as shown in a second operation 520. can.

In one embodiment, the user may touch other users (or user accounts) included in "Chatroom allow at least some of them to access at least one of their multiple contents. In another embodiment, the user may request access to other users (or user accounts) included in "Chatroom X" by touching the "Request access to content" button 524 shown in the second action 520 It is possible to request at least some permission to access at least one content among a plurality of contents associated with the user.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of determining content to which access is permitted according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the processor (e.g., at least one processor of a user terminal) receives user input selecting at least one piece of content to be allowed access from among a plurality of pieces of content associated with the first user account. can. In response to such user input, the processor can determine at least one piece of content associated with the first user account to which access is permitted. Thereby, the processor allows the second user account included in the first talk room to access the determined at least one content. Here, the content related to the first user account may include files, contacts, photos, etc. stored on the user terminal of the first user account. Additionally or alternatively, the content associated with the first user account may include content stored in a storage space of the first user account (e.g., a cloud storage space, an external storage device, etc.) and/or the content associated with the first user account. It can include content related to the chat room in which the account is included.

In one embodiment, the at least one piece of content that is permitted to be accessed is the item of content itself, such as a file item 612, a contact item 614, a photo item 618, etc. associated with the first user account, the first user account storage space 616 itself and/or each talk room 620, 622, 624 itself in which the first user account is included. For example, by selecting each of the file item 612, contact item 614, photo item 618, etc., the content to which access is permitted is determined by the user terminal to which the first user account is connected (i.e., the first user It can refer to content stored on a user device associated with an account, for example, all or part of a file, all or part of a contact, all or part of an image (photo or video), etc. can. As shown, the processor stores a plurality of content associated with the first user account: file item 612, contact item 614, storage space 616, photo item 618, Chat A (620), Chat B (622). , Chat C (624) can be displayed on the display. Thereafter, the processor is responsive to receiving user input (e.g., touch input, etc.) to a portion of the plurality of buttons displayed on the display (e.g., the button associated with photo item 618). , photo item 618) as at least one content to which access is permitted. The processor thereby allows the second user account to access all of the content included in the first user's photo item 618.

The processor can determine an access permission deadline 628 for the determined at least one content. For example, the access permission deadline 628 may be a period such as 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month, and/or an end date (or start date) that corresponds to a specific point in time, such as "2021.01.22". can be included. In one embodiment, the processor can receive user input setting an access permission deadline 628 and responsively determine an access permission deadline 628 for the at least one content. For example, the first user account can set the access permission deadline 628 for the content by directly inputting the access permission deadline 628 (for example, text input) using an input device. Alternatively, the first user account can set the access permission time limit 628 for the content by selecting at least one of the time periods included in the list for the access permission time limit 628.

If the access permission time limit 628 for the content is set, the processor allows the second user account to access at least one content only if the current time (e.g., the current time of the user terminal) is within the access permission time limit 628. allow you to do so. For example, by user input (eg, touch input, etc.) of the first user account to set the access permission time limit 628 to "1 hour", the access permission time limit 628 can be determined as "1 hour" as shown in the figure. At this time, the second user account is permitted to access at least one content for one hour from the access permission start time.

In FIG. 6, when a first user account grants access to content (e.g., immediately before or after granting), a second At least one content that the user account is allowed to access and an access permission period 628 can be determined, but are not limited thereto. For example, when a second user account requests permission to access content (i.e., a request indicating that it wishes to be granted access), the selected content (i.e., the content for which permission is requested) and/or the permission period At least one content to which access is permitted and/or an access permission period can be determined based on the information regarding the content.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of determining content to which access is permitted according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the at least one content to which access is permitted is each individual piece of content included in an item of content, each individual piece of content included in a chat room that includes the first user account. , can refer to each individual content included in the storage space of the first user account. For example, when the first user account selects a button for a photo item from among buttons for content items displayed on the display (or a chat room or storage space), the first user account can the at least one processor) is capable of outputting a plurality of images stored on the user terminal on a display. Thereafter, as shown, the first user account selects (e.g., touch input, drag input, etc.) at least a portion 712 of the plurality of images, causing the processor to select at least a portion 712 of the plurality of images. Allow the second user account access.

In one embodiment, the processor determines the range of recommended content based on an analysis of at least one of content associated with the first user account or text included in the first chat room. It can be output via the first talk room of the user account. To this end, the information processing system and/or processor may select a range of recommended content based on an analysis result of at least one of the content associated with the first user account or the text included in the first chat room. can be determined, and the determined range of recommended content can be provided via the first talk room of the first user account. The information processing system and/or processor may perform various image analysis algorithms and text analysis algorithms for analyzing at least one of content associated with the first user account or text included in the first chat room. etc. can be used. Thereafter, the processor receives user input (e.g., touch input, drag input, etc.) that selects at least one content from the range of output recommended content, thereby selecting at least one content to which access is permitted. can be determined.

For example, the processor may select an image that includes (or has been photographed) at least a portion of the user account included in the first talk room, from among the plurality of images stored on the user terminal of the first user account. is determined as the recommended content range, and the recommended content range can be output via the first talk room of the first user account. To this end, the information processing system determines whether at least some of the user accounts included in the first talk room are included (or photographed) based on the person analysis results included in each of the plurality of images. The image can be determined as a range of recommended content, and the determined range of recommended content can be provided via a first talk room of a first user account.

As another example, the processor may store a file item associated with the first user account (or a (such as a saved document containing the text "assignment") can be determined as the range of recommended content, and the range of recommended content can be output via the first talk room of the first user account. To this end, the information processing system analyzes a file item associated with the first user account (or a text called "assignment" saved on the user terminal) based on the text analysis result included in the first talk room. (including documents, etc.) as the range of recommended content, and the determined range of recommended content can be provided via the first talk room of the first user account.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example in which an access permission request is received from another user account according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, a processor (eg, at least one processor of a user terminal) can receive a request for permission to access content associated with a first user account from a second user account. This allows the processor to output a message 812 regarding the access permission request received via the first talk room of the first user account. In response to the output message 812, the processor can receive user input granting access to content associated with the first user account.

The access permission request received from the second user account may include information regarding the content to which access is requested by the second user account. The processor can determine at least one piece of content that is allowed to be accessed from among the plurality of pieces of content associated with the first user account based on information about the piece of content for which access is requested. That is, the second user account selects the content for which access is requested from among the plurality of contents associated with the first user account, and forwards the access permission request for the selected content to the second user account. can. Thereafter, if the first user account grants access to the second user account, the processor allows the second user account to access the selected content. Alternatively, the first user account can reselect at least one content to be allowed access and allow the second user account access. At this time, the processor allows the second user account to access only the reselected at least one content.

As shown in the first operation 810, the processor receives a request for permission to access the user's document file from “USER A” and requests “USER A to grant access permission to the document file” via “Chatroom X”. It is possible to output a message 812 saying, ``We are making a request.''. Message 812 may include a “Details” button 814, an “Allow Access” button 816, and a “Deny Access” button 818. If the user touches the "Allow Access" button 816 included in the message 812, the processor can grant "USER A" access to the user's document file. Additionally, before or after the user touches the "Allow access" button 816 included in the message 812, the user can specify the access permission conditions, such as the content to be granted access, the access permission period, the users to whom access is permitted, etc. /or if the access permission information is modified, the processor may grant access to "USER A" based on the modified access permission conditions and/or access permission information. On the other hand, if the user touches the "deny access" button 818 included in the message 812, the processor does not allow "USER A" to access the user's document file. Additionally, if the user touches the "Details" button 814 included in the message 812, the processor may input "USER A's" information such as information regarding the content to which access is requested, the period of the requested access permission, etc. Detailed information about access permission requests can be output.

In one embodiment, the processor can output a message 822 indicating that the second user account is accessing the determined at least one content via the first chat room of the first user account. For example, the processor may cause the second user account to access at least one content associated with the first user account in real time via the first chat room of the first user account (e.g., the second user account A message indicating that the content is being output or downloaded can be output to the user terminal of the account. Additionally or alternatively, a message may be output indicating that the second user account is able to access (ie, access is permitted) at least one content associated with the first user account.

As shown in a second operation 820, the processor can output a message 822 via "Chatroom X" that says "USER A's access to the document file is authorized." Such a message 822 allows the user to recognize that "USER A" can access his or her document file. Message 822 may include a "Details" button 824 and a "Restrict Access" button 826. For example, when the user touches the "Details" button 824, the processor inputs information such as the content (or range of content) that "USER A" is accessing in real time, the access permission period, etc. You can output detailed information such as: Additionally, the processor can receive user input to block access to the at least one content and block the second user account's access to the at least one content based on such user input. For example, if the user touches the "Restrict Access" button 826, the processor can block "USER A" from accessing the document file.

Although FIG. 8 shows an example in which one of the plurality of user accounts included in the chat room is permitted to access at least one content, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, all or part of a plurality of user accounts included in a chat room may be allowed to access at least one content.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a message 914 regarding whether or not access is permitted is output based on a text analysis result included in a chat room according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the processor (e.g., at least one processor of the user terminal) is configured to send information via the first chat room of the first user account based on an analysis of the text 912 included in the first chat room. Then, a message 914 regarding whether or not the second user account is permitted to access the content associated with the first user account can be output. To this end, the information processing system and/or processor generates an analysis result for the text 912 included in the first talk room, and based on the generated analysis result, the information processing system and/or the processor A message 914 may be transmitted via the room regarding whether the second user account is authorized to access content associated with the first user account. At this time, at least one content to which access is permitted and/or an access permission period may be automatically determined based on the analysis result. For example, the processor accesses an image that includes location information corresponding to "Yeosu" based on the analysis result of the text "Yeosu travel photo" among the texts included in the chat room of the first user account. can be determined as at least one content that is allowed. Alternatively, the at least one content to which access is permitted and/or the access permission period may be automatically determined as a default value.

As shown in the figure, based on the analysis result of the text 912 "I want to see the photos taken yesterday" of "USER A" included in "Chatroom Among them, a message regarding permission for "USER A" to access an image taken (or saved) yesterday (for example, "2021.01.01") ("USER A's access permission for an image taken on 2021.01.01") Do you want to allow access?") 914 can be output. To this end, the information processing system and/or processor generates a text analysis result of "yesterday", "photo" and/or "want to see" among the texts included in "Chatroom Based on the analysis result, a message 914 regarding whether or not "USER A" is allowed to access the image taken (or saved) yesterday among the plurality of images can be transferred via the user's "Chatroom X". . In other words, even if "USER A" does not directly perform another task for requesting access permission, the intention of "USER A" is automatically recognized through text analysis, etc., and the request for access permission can be completed. can.

Thereafter, the first user account's response to message 914 allows the processor to determine whether to allow the second user account access to the content associated with the first user account. For example, the processor can receive user input granting access to content associated with the first user account in response to the output permission grant message 914. As shown, the message 914 regarding whether or not to grant access may include a "Details" button 916, an "Allow Access" button 918, and a "Deny Access" button 920. For example, if the user touches the "Allow Access" button 918, the processor can grant "USER A" access to the image taken on 2021.01.01 that is stored on the user terminal. On the other hand, if the user touches the "deny access" button 920, the processor may not allow "USER A" to access the image taken on 2021.01.01 stored on the user terminal. can. Additionally, if the user touches the "Details" button 916, the processor can output detailed information, such as information about the content associated with the access permission, deadlines, etc.

FIG. 10 shows an example in which a message 1012 regarding permission to access content associated with a chat room and a message 1022 indicating that access to content associated with the chat room is being output according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. At least one content that is permitted to be accessed is a second chat room that includes a first user account (e.g., "USER B") but not a second user account (e.g., "USER A"). (for example, “Chatroom Y”). In other words, the second user account is connected to a second talk room that includes the first user account via the first talk room (for example, a talk room that includes the first user account and the second user account). You can request permission to access content associated with a room. Here, the content related to the second talk room includes content shared via the second talk room, content saved in the storage space of the second talk room, and content included in the second talk room. It may include text (ie, conversation content), content related to the user account included in the second talk room, and the like. In one embodiment, for permission of the second user account to access content associated with the second chat room, a third user account included in the second chat room is provided with access to content associated with the second chat room. A message 1012 regarding permission to access the content (eg, all or part of the content in the chat room) may be transferred. Here, the third user account may include one or more user accounts included in the second talk room.

In one embodiment, the processor (e.g., at least one processor of the user terminal) is configured to provide access to the second user account based on the third user account's access permission request (i.e., the request indicating an intent to grant access). Allow the account to access content associated with the second chat room. In response, the processor may block the second user account's access to the content associated with the second chat room based on the third user account's access blocking request. For example, if all of the plurality of third user accounts grant access to the second user account, the processor allows the second user account to access content associated with the second chat room. Alternatively, if a majority of the plurality of third user accounts authorize the second user account to access, the processor may enable the second user account to access content associated with the second chat room. Allow to do so. Therefore, if there is permission from not only the first user account but also the third user account, the second user account is allowed to access the content associated with the second talk room.
