9 is a flowchart illustrating a smart network management and unified messaging service method using a Sobot according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Smart network management and integrated messaging service method using Sobot according to an embodiment of the present invention is a mobile terminal 20, a personal digital assistant (PDA) (21, 27), a mobile Internet (WiBro) terminal (24, 25) , The IPTV 22, a social network character (sobot client) installed in a predetermined position on the screen of the home network terminal to access the Sobot service server 110, network registration / management functions and conversation, conversation, call, text It provides communication functions, including sending, sending mail, and giving gifts.

Network registration can import your email address book's Outlook address book, messenger (e.g., MSN), i-Man's buddy list from another address book or instant messenger (IM), and automatically update when your buddy's address or phone number changes.

Network view visually shows the presence information of the network, the emotional state, and the relationship with the user.

Unified communication, in one embodiment, provides a function of sending a message to an instant messenger (eg, Buddy), voice call (VoIP), text sending (SMS), and email (email) by a sobot.

In addition, the sobot may send a gift such as music or an item according to the emotional state of the instant messenger (eg, Buddy) and the anniversary information to present to the communication counterpart.

Hereinafter, with reference to Figures 7 and 8 will be described in detail a smart network management and integrated messaging service method using the Sobot according to an embodiment of the present invention.

7A to 7I are diagrams illustrating smart network management and integrated messaging services using SOBOT according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the mouse (mobile terminal, personal digital assistant (PDA), portable Internet terminal (WiBro), IPTV, Sobot character located at a specific position on the screen of the home network terminal is clicked on with a mouse), as shown in FIG. A menu is shown that includes keyword entry, bin view, social networking , character decorating, keyword ranking, real time keywords, and rating ranking.

Clicking on the network view in the menu displays the Sobot characters of the currently used networks shown in FIG. 7B. The Sobot characters of the current network use the color of the Sobot character to express the current mood of the user's network, and the appearance of the Sobot character according to the frequency of use of individual services and the frequency of communication between the contacts (IM, VoIP, SMS, Email). The size is displayed in a visual network map differently (step S12).

As an example, if the frequency of communication is high according to the village management (1 village, 2 villages, 3 villages, 4 villages ...) criteria (eg 1 village), the size of the Sobot character is relatively large according to the village village management grade. If the frequency of the communication is low (for example, four villages), the size of the Sobot character is displayed relatively small according to the village number management grade.

Connect to the Sobot service server 110 in the Sobot menu to add a network and provide a network registration / management of the communication partner (step S13).

In addition, the sobot (sobot) provides a group network management by the same village, and visually provides a character-based networking view by the same village.

As shown in FIG. 7C, clicking on a particular Sobot character brings up a unified communications menu item that includes talking, making a call, sending a text, sending an email, and giving a gift.

Clicking on the chat with the selected character in the Sobot menu uses a character-based interactive interface to communicate with his character and the chat module of the Sobot service server 110 or the messenger server 14, as shown in FIG. 7D. The conversation with the opponent character is made (step S14).

In addition, when the user clicks on the call with the character selected in the Sobot menu, voice data input from the microphone of the called terminal is transmitted to the calling terminal through the mobile communication system or the VoIP server system 13 to provide a voice call (step). S15), charging is performed as shown in Fig. 7E (step S26).

In addition, when the text message is clicked in the Sobot menu, the SMS message created in the message window is transmitted to the other party's mobile phone number through the SMS server of the short message center (SMC) 11 (step S16), and charging is performed (step S16). S26).
