As such, when the mobile IM is used as an interactive means with the user for the broadcast program, a function for distinguishing and displaying a message on the UI of the mobile IM is required. Accordingly, the mobile IM enabler 1840 connects with the program execution unit 1820 and the mobile IM service platform 1850 to display the UI image of the mobile IM through a color index according to a progress time of a broadcast program or an event in the program. Different colors can be applied to each message displayed on the screen. For example, the mobile IM enabler 1840 may provide a color index in which different colors are designated for each message classified according to a progress time of a broadcast program. For example, a function of distinguishing the message before the broadcast start, the message during the broadcast, and the message after the broadcast based on the progress time of the broadcast program may be provided in color. As another example, the mobile IM enabler 1840 may provide a color index in which different colors are designated for each message classified according to an event related to a broadcast program. For example, it is possible to provide a function of distinguishing a general notification and a guidance message by a color regardless of a message, a message related to program content, or a broadcast progress that requires a viewer's response. Furthermore, when a problem is asked in a broadcast program and the problem includes hint information, the mobile IM enabler 1840 may also provide a function of color-dividing the message related to the problem from the message related to the hint information. The mobile IM enabler 1840 providing the color index function may change at least one of a text color and a background color of the message as a method for distinguishing the messages.

In FIG. 18, the mobile IM application 1860 installed in the terminal of the user may execute a chat room of a corresponding program using an ID of a broadcast program that the user wants to participate in, and enable a program enabler on the screen of the executed chat room. It displays the messages sent and received between the service system and the user. The mobile IM application 1860 may include a Chatting UI Manager 1861 as shown in FIG. 18.

At this time, the UI management module 1861, when the conversation partner creates the chat room with the user requested by the user, is not a user-generated ID but a special type of service such as a bidirectional broadcast program. It is possible to provide a function for visually expressing participation information for the user. To this end, the UI management module 1861 supports the function of changing the background image (Background Image) or the window UI set by the program manager to the chat room of the program that the user participates in.

In particular, the UI management module 1861 is a UI for inputting a user's message on a screen of a program chat room, and may provide a UI environment including a plurality of input buttons so that a user may input a message by dividing a purpose of participating in a broadcast program. have. The purpose of program participation using the mobile IM service may vary depending on the characteristics of the broadcast program and the objects (quiz, survey, voting, application, etc.) to which the user can participate. There may be a purpose for input, a purpose for inputting a response to the hint when a question is included in the problem, and a purpose for inputting simple chat texts such as feelings of participation as a participant in the broadcast program. For example, the UI management module 1861 may provide a separate UI for inputting a 'response' to a hint as well as a UI for inputting a 'correct' answer to a question as a UI for user input in a program chat room. . In other words, the UI management module 1861 may provide a function of activating a button other than the basic transmission button on the screen of the program chat room, and activating a UI for inputting a 'correct answer' of a problem when a question is presented in a broadcast program. However, if the hint is provided by checking whether the hint is provided, the UI for inputting a 'response' to the hint may also be activated. According to the above configuration, the user may transmit a message using different input buttons according to the participation type (eg, problem solving, hint solving, etc.) required by the broadcast program. Accordingly, the program enabler service system may filter a message received from the user through the UI used for message input in the program chat room. That is, the response recording module 1846 may distinguish the user's response to the problem and the user's response to the hint through an input button used when inputting a message, and the response to the problem and the response to the hint as shown in Table 1 above. Can be stored as a separate flag. In addition, the program enabler service system may inform the user through a program chat room whether a response to a problem or a response to a hint has been received as a result of filtering the user response. Therefore, on the chat room screen of the user terminal, a message indicating whether a response object (that is, a problem or a hint) and whether or not to receive the message as a result of the response to the message sent by the user (for example, 'the answer of the problem has been registered', or 'the hint) Has been registered. ') May be displayed.

In addition, the UI management module 1861 may control the activation of the input button according to the time or participation time of the problem or hint through the interworking with the broadcast program by the program enabler service system. For example, if the user participation time of the question is specified as 3 minutes, the UI for input 'correct answer' is activated immediately after the question is asked, and after 3 minutes elapses, the UI for input 'correct answer' may be deactivated. As described above, by selectively controlling the activation of the UI, it is possible to provide a user's convenience in inputting a message by receiving and registering a message input through an activated button in the program enabler service system.

In addition, the UI management module 1861 is a UI-related additional function for a hint on a screen of a program chat room, and according to the characteristics of the hint, a function of inactivating (disappearing) the hint message when a predetermined time elapses after receiving the hint message. It can support a function of providing a message once in the form of a marquee.

In addition, when a message is received from the program enabler service system through the mobile IM service platform 1850, the UI management module 1861 may display the received message in a color designated in the message. For example, before a program broadcast starts and after a program broadcast ends, a message background color is 'white' in case of a received message, and a message background color is 'blue' in a case of a received message related to a question during a broadcast. In case of a general received message that is not related to, the background color of the message may be displayed as 'yellow'. Furthermore, when a hint is provided for the question, the background color of the received message related to the problem and the received message related to the hint may be displayed in different colors.

According to the above configuration, in the present embodiment, the mobile IM enabler is mounted as a communication channel for a broadcast program, thereby providing various communication functions and interface functions required for the corresponding broadcast program through a mobile IM service, thereby enabling user participation in a convenient environment. Can support

19 and 20 are flowcharts for explaining a process of creating a program chat room in the program enabler service system described with reference to FIG.

19, the execution engine 1823 of the service execution unit 1820 loads program information provided in the form of a script from the service authoring unit 1810, and then creates a chat room for the program by the chat room control module 1845 ) (1901). At this time, when the user's participation is started by using the string matching method, the chat room control module 1845 transmits a specific string set in advance by the administrator to the request of the execution engine 1823 as a message requesting participation of the program, To the module 1842 (1902). In addition, the chat room control module 1845 requests the friend managing module 1844 to set a friend list having a relation with the ID of the program manager (1903). In response to the request, the friend managing module 1844 requests the administrator's ID To the chat room control module 1845 (1904). Accordingly, a message for requesting participation of the program to all users included in the friend list (hereinafter referred to as 'participation request message') is transmitted to the mobile IM service platform 1850. In other words, the participation request message is transmitted from the message control module 1842 to the recording module 1824 which provides the event recording function, to the message control module 1842 that provides the function of classifying the message type in the chat room control module 1845 To the bus module 1827 providing the message transfer function in the recording module 1824 and sequentially from the bus module 1827 to the mobile IM service platform 1850 via the legacy adapter of the service connection 1830 1905 ~ 1909). At this time, the participation request message may be a specific string previously set by the administrator. In the mobile IM service platform 1850, when a participation request message for a specific program is received from the program enabler service system, all user terminals (mobile IM application 1860) (1910).

20, the mobile IM application 1860 displays a participation request message received from the mobile IM service platform 1850, receives a response message for the participation request message from the user, 1850) (2001). At this time, the mobile IM service platform 1850 transmits the user's response message to the manager side program enabler service system through the legacy adapter of the service connection unit 1830 (2002). The user's response message includes a message control module 1827 for providing a function of determining whether a string is matched in the bus module 1827 with a bus module 1827 providing a user authentication and message transfer function in a legacy adapter of the service connection unit 1830 1842) (2003 ~ 2005). At this time, the message control module 1842 can determine whether or not a specific character string is included in the response message when user participation is started by using the character string matching method. The message control module 1842 receives the program participation intention through the character matching method or the general push method, and then requests the chat room control module 1845 to create a chat room (2006). Accordingly, the chat room control module 1845 establishes a program chat room in which a user who has expressed intention to participate in the program participates through a response to the program participation message. In the chat room control module 1845, a program chat room can be established for each turn of the broadcast program. Log information (administrator ID, user ID, creation date, etc.) of the opened program chat room can be recorded by the recording module 224 (2007).

FIG. 21 is a flowchart for explaining a process of providing a hint of a question about a problem in the program enabler service system described with reference to FIG. 18. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 21, a message control module 1842 of the mobile IM enabler 1840 provides a question message for providing a hint when a problem including a hint is issued during program execution. At this time, the query message means a hint provision problem set by the administrator in advance. The hint providing problem is that the bus module 1827 provides a service from the recording module 1824 to the bus module 1827 that provides the message transfer function to the recording module 1824 that provides the event recording function in the message control module 1842, (2101-2104) to the mobile IM service platform 1850 through the legacy adapter of the connection 1830. [ The mobile IM service platform 1850 transmits 2105 the received hinting issue to the terminal of the user participating in the program chat room (mobile IM application 1860) upon receiving a hinting issue from the program enabler service system.

The mobile IM application 1860 activates the UI for inputting the 'response' to the hint via the UI management module 1861 and receives a response to the hint providing problem from the user through the UI for inputting the 'response' . The mobile IM application 1860 transfers the user's response to the hinting problem to the mobile IM service platform 1850 in step 2106. The mobile IM service platform 1850 then transmits the user's response message to the service connection unit 1830 To the manager side program enabler service system through the legacy adapter of the manager side program enabler service system (2107). The user's response to the hint provision problem is a bus module 1827 that provides a user authentication and message transfer function in the legacy adapter of the service connection unit 1830. The bus module 1827 provides a function of determining whether a character string is matched Message control module 1842 sequentially (2108 to 2110). At this time, the message control module 1842 can determine whether the response message received from the user regarding the hint providing problem is correct by using the string matching method. The message control module 1842 transfers the user's hint response to the response recording module 1846 to record whether the user's hint response is correct or not (step 2111). If the hint response of the user is correct, the same processes (2101 to 2105) (Mobile IM application 1860) to the corresponding user's terminal (mobile IM application 1860).

FIG. 22 is a flowchart for explaining a process of providing an interworking problem in which conditions are set between questioning questions in the program enabler service system illustrated in FIG. 18;

Referring to FIG. 22, the message control module 1842 of the mobile IM enabler 1840 determines whether there is a remaining problem during the execution of the program and whether there is an interlocking problem. If the remaining problem to be resumed next is an interlocking problem, . For example, in the message control module 1842, a response recording module 1846, which provides a function of recording whether a user is correct or not, may be requested by the user to determine whether or not a previous problem has occurred, The correcting rate of the previous problem may be requested to the statistical module 1843 which provides a statistical function for the ratio (2201). The message control module 1842 then issues the next question only to the previous problem correct answer through the response 2202 of the response recording module 1846 or the correct answer rate of the previous problem through the response 2202 of the statistical module 1843 The following questions will be asked based on the records of the previous problems, such as the following questions. The question of issuance is sent from the bus module 1827 to the service connection module 1827 to the recording module 1824 providing the event recording function in the message control module 1842 and to the bus module 1827 providing the message transfer function in the recording module 1824, (2203-2206) to the mobile IM service platform 1850 through the legacy adapter of the mobile IM service platform 1830. In the mobile IM service platform 1850, when an issue problem is received from the program enabler service system, a user corresponding to a correct answer of the previous question or a terminal of a user participating in the program chat room (mobile IM application 1860) (2207).

In the mobile IM application 1860, a question message received from the mobile IM service platform 1850 is displayed, and a response message to the question of the question is input from the user, and the message is transmitted to the mobile IM service platform 1850 (2208). At this time, the mobile IM service platform 1850 delivers the user's response message to the manager side program enabler service system through the legacy adapter of the service connection unit 1830 (2209). The user's response to the question of issuance is a bus module 1827 that provides user authentication and message transfer functions in the legacy adapter of the service connection unit 1830 and a message providing a function of determining whether the string is matched in the bus module 1827 And is sequentially transmitted to the control module 1842 (2210 to 2212). At this time, the message control module 1842 can use the string matching method to determine whether or not the response message received from the user is an answer to the question of question, and to record whether or not the user answers the question response, Module 1846 (2213).

Accordingly, the program enabler service system according to the present invention can support an environment in which an interactive broadcast program produced by an editor can be directly executed by linking with various services, together with an editor for producing an interactive broadcast program.

Hereinafter, a program enabler service method for providing a user participatory bidirectional broadcast service will be described. The program enabler service method according to the present invention can be performed by the program enabler service system described with reference to Fig.

23 is a flowchart illustrating a method of producing a bi-directional broadcast program by a manufacturer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 23, in the program enabler service system, an editor screen (Fig. 4 / Fig. 6) for inputting basic information of a program at the request of the maker is provided, (S2301). At this time, the basic information of the program may include the name of the program, the number of times of the program, performer information, broadcast time (start time, end time, etc.). At this time, the program enabler service system determines whether there is a buddy ID associated with the program (S2302), and if the buddy ID does not exist, generates a buddy ID of the program (S2303). When mobile IM is used as a communication channel with the user, the program manager also regards it as a buddy ID, and a buddy ID must be generated for the program in order to issue a question via mobile IM and respond.

In the program enabler service system, there is provided an editor screen (FIG. 6) for inputting a problem that a buddy ID of a program already input from a creator already exists or a buddy ID of an administrator is generated through the above process, So that the question of issue can be input from the producer (S2304). The program enabler service system can input the content of the problem, the consultation, the type of the problem and the view of the multiple choice problem from the producer through the question presentation screen. The program enabler service system receives a hint phrase, a hint providing object, a hint providing method, a hint query, and the like through an editor screen (FIG. 8) for setting an option when the manufacturer intends to provide a hint as an option related to a question (S2305 to S2307).

Next, the program enabler service system provides an editor screen (Figs. 11 to 13) for setting a problem solving process when completing the question creation problem of the maker (S2308) Input can be received. In other words, the program enabler service system can generate a separate scene for a specific sequence of a broadcast program by creating a problem solving process according to an input of a maker (S2309 to S2310). At this time, the program enabler service system can receive the detailed conditions related to the interlocking problem from the manufacturer (S2311 to S2312) through the editor screen (Fig. 13) when detailed condition setting for connection between problems is required. For example, if the next problem is set as the problem A and B next to the previous problem, the maker can set the detailed condition that the next problem is selected based on the correct answer rate of the first question.

Finally, the program enabler service system may edit the user's participation method for the corresponding program when generation of all rounds for a specific turn of the broadcast program is completed through the above process (S2313 to S2314).

24 is a flowchart showing a method of generating a program ID by a program manager in an embodiment of the present invention.

The program manager is an operator who operates an interactive service of a broadcast program. The program manager logs in the program enabler service system (i.e., the portal module 1821) through a separate account, and inputs and loads basic bidirectional service creation conditions I am responsible.

As shown in Fig. 24, in the program enabler service system, when a new program (or new recurrence) is selected from an administrator, a new buddy ID is registered for each program (S2401 to S2402).

At this time, the program enabler service system may determine whether the buddy IDs registered by the administrator are duplicated or not, and if not, generate a chatting room for the buddy IDs (S2403 to S2404). Accordingly, the program enabler service system can use the chat room created based on the buddy ID of the administrator as a communication channel for the interactive service of the program (S2405).

Accordingly, the program enabler service system can generate the buddy ID of the manager when the mobile IM is used for the bidirectional service of the program, and generate the chat room (i.e., the program participation room) based on the buddy ID of the manager.

FIG. 25 is a flowchart illustrating a method of executing a broadcast program produced through an editor proposed by the present invention in association with a bidirectional service enabler according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 25, the program enabler service system may load corresponding program information provided in a script form in order to create a chat room for a specific program (S2501). That is, the program enabler service system calls the service enabler (eg, the mobile IM enabler 1840) through the management module 1822 at any point in the program start, and then through the authoring module 1812 in the service enabler. You can load the generated program script to load the chat room creation information required for the turn.

In the program enabler service system, the user can be registered as a participant in the program chat room according to the chat room creation method after determining the chat room creation method (i.e., whether or not the chat room is opened) (S2502 to S2503). In the present embodiment, a specific character string input standby method and a buddy list target push method can be used.

Referring to FIG. 26, in the specific character string input waiting method, a 'character string' 2601 for executing the corresponding chat room 2600 by using the program ID directly by the user without transmitting a separate message in the program enabler service system ). At this time, the 'string' that indicates the participation intention of the program informs all the users who watch the program through broadcasting. For example, 'start', 'participation', etc. are used as a specific string . That is, in the mobile IM enabler of the program enabler service system, if the string input from the user through the chat room of the program ID coincides with a specific string indicating the participation intention of the broadcast program using the string matching method, The user can be set as a friend of the program ID so that participation is possible. At this time, if the user is set as a friend of the program ID using the above-mentioned string matching method, the friend relationship with the program ID is maintained during the broadcasting time of the broadcasting program, and the friend setting with the user is automatically canceled after the broadcasting program is terminated .

As another example, the pushing method of the buddy list is a form that induces participation by sending a program start message to users who have previously announced their intention to participate in the program through a program ID and friendship in the program enabler service system. As shown in FIG. 27, a program start message 2701 is pushed to all users set as friends, so that the user can participate in the program at any time by executing the chat room 2700. In other words, in the mobile IM enabler of the program enabler service system, in order to induce the participation of the broadcast program through the program ID chat room, the program ID and the participation request message .

In the program enabler service system, program information can be provided to users participating in the program chat room (S2504). At this time, the program enabler service system judges whether there is a remaining problem that has not been addressed in the case of a program in which a problem is generated during execution of the program, and terminates the program chat room if there is no remaining problem (S2505 to S2506). On the other hand, the program enabler service system can provide the following individual problems if the remaining problems are present. Furthermore, if the program enabler service system has an existing problem and the problem is an interworking problem linked to the result of the previous problem, determine whether the previous problem is a correct answer, and then restrict the answering user from participating in the remaining problem, It is possible to provide individual problems corresponding to the remaining problems (S2507 to S2510).

The program enabler service system provides the remaining individual problems. If a hint is set as a problem option by the producer, the program chat room is shown in FIG. 28 in a situation in which the problem solved in step S2510 is in progress. In operation 2800, a query 2801 for providing a hint is first provided, and then a user input for the query 2801 is awaited (S2511 ˜ S2513). In this case, the UI management module 1861 of the mobile IM application 1860 installed in the user side terminal is a UI for user input in the program chat room 2900, as illustrated in FIG. Along with the correct answer UI 2901 for input, a hint UI 2902 for inputting a 'response' to the hint may be provided. That is, when the user writes a message in the program chat room 2900 and uses the correct answer UI 2901, the user may input a response to the question, and if the user uses the hint UI 2902, the user may input a response. On the program enabler service system, each response can be received through a UI separated on the user terminal or received as a combination of hash string values.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 28, when the response 2802 to the hint providing query is input from the user through the program chat room 2800, the program enabler service system may include a hint query previously set by the producer through a string matching method. It is determined whether they match (S2514). In this case, if the user's response to the hint providing query matches the preset hint query, the program enabler service system may provide the hint 2803 of the problem presented in step S2510 as shown in FIG. 28. There is (S2515). Subsequently, when the user's response to the question in step S2510 is received after the hint of the problem is provided, the program enabler service system may determine whether it is correct or incorrect and record whether or not it is correct or incorrect for each user. S2516-S2517).

The program enabler service system is a time information on a problem that is displayed during the broadcast based on the progress of the broadcast program when a message is transmitted / received with a user through a messenger in a process of executing a broadcast program in conjunction with a mobile IM enabler. (Ie, remaining time until the problem solving is finished), and at least one of real-time statistical data according to user participation in the problem. Accordingly, the UI management module 1861 of the mobile IM application 1860 installed in the user side terminal may display the remaining time and / or statistical data on the screen of the program chat room.

Furthermore, the program enabler service system may provide a color index function for message classification in a process of executing a broadcast program in conjunction with a mobile IM enabler. According to the present embodiment, the program enabler service system may provide a color index in which different colors are designated for each message classified according to a progress time of a broadcast program and / or an event occurring in a broadcast program.

30 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a color index function for message classification in a program chat room in a program enabler service method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method of providing the color index function may be implemented by interworking with the mobile IM service platform which is an instant messenger server in the message filtering function area of the program enabler service system.

As shown in FIG. 30, the mobile IM service platform may determine the ID of the sender of the message (S3001) and apply a color index function to the message when displaying the message in the chat room. In other words, the mobile IM service platform may determine whether the message is a message of a personal user ID or a program ID (program manager ID). In this case, when the message is a message sent from the ID of the individual user, a default color supported by the platform may be applied. For example, a message exchanged between IDs of individual users may be displayed as 'white' for a received message and 'green' for an outgoing message on a screen of a messenger chat room. Similarly, the message sent by the individual user among the messages transmitted and received between the individual user ID and the program ID may be displayed as 'green' on the screen of the user side chat room.

However, when the message origination ID is a program ID generated by the program manager, the message may be distinguished and displayed through a color index supported by the mobile IM enabler of the program enabler service system. In detail, the program enabler service system may determine the type of the outgoing message when the message origination ID is the program ID according to a request of the mobile IM service platform. In this case, the program enabler service system may be a type of an outgoing message such as whether the outgoing message is a message (a message related to a problem or a hint related to the problem) or a general notification or guide message according to an event in a broadcast program. It may be determined (S3002). In addition, the program enabler service system may be classified into categories such as a message before broadcast start, a message during broadcast, and a message after broadcast terminated according to the actual broadcast service time based on the progress information of the broadcast program (S3003). In addition, in the program enabler service system, the color may be set for each message according to the type of the corresponding message as a result of the determination in the above-described processes (S3002 to S3003) (S3004). In this case, the program enabler service system may change at least one of the text color and the background color of the message when the color is applied according to the color index for each message.

Accordingly, the UI management module 1861 of the mobile IM application 1860 installed in the user side terminal may display the message received from the program enabler service system in the color set for the message when displaying the message on the screen of the program chat room. have. For example, referring to the screen of the chat room illustrated in FIG. 31, a message background color is displayed as 'white' for a message before broadcast start and a message 3104 after broadcast ends. In the case of the message 3102 related to the message, the background color of the message may be displayed as 'blue', and in the case of a message 3103 that is a message during broadcasting and not related to a problem, the message background color may be displayed as 'yellow'. In addition, when the message is a broadcast message and a hint related message (not shown), the color index may be provided so that the message background color is set to a color different from that of the problem-related message 3102 set to 'blue', for example, 'green'. .

As described above, for the convenience of the user participating in the broadcast program, a color index according to the broadcast time of the broadcast program or an event in the broadcast program may be provided to distinguish messages on the chat room screen of the mobile IM. The color index function of the above process can also be directly implemented in the mobile IM service platform through interworking with the program enabler service system.

32 is a flowchart illustrating a method in which a user participates in a program in a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 32, the user terminal installs the mobile IM application at the user's request (S3201). At this time, the mobile IM application is a messenger program supported in the mobile environment such as Kakao Talk, Line, and Tic Tonic On, and can be all the conventional messengers generally used. In addition, the user must register the buddy ID of the program manager in the friend list through the mobile IM application installed on the terminal in order to participate in the program of the interactive service type (S3202 to S3205).

Thereafter, the user terminal maintains a program execution waiting state when the actual broadcast program is started (S3206). At this time, the program execution waiting state may mean a time up to a time designated by the program manager (for example, five minutes before the start of the program).

When the actual broadcast program is started, the user terminal may execute a chat room of the corresponding program according to a program participation method designated by the program manager for the user's program participation through the mobile IM application (S3207 to S3208). In the present embodiment, the chat room of the corresponding program can be executed according to the specific character string input waiting method (Fig. 26) and the buddy list target push method (Fig. 27). That is, in the case of a specific string input standby method, a user can directly participate in a broadcast program by executing a program chat room using a program ID, and then inputting a specific string in the corresponding chat room. Also, in the case of the pushing method of the buddy list, when the user registers the program ID in the friend list in advance and executes the chat room of the program at the time of receiving the participation request message from the program enabler service system, You can participate.

Subsequently, the user terminal may receive a question asked during the program execution from the program enabler service system and display the question received through the program chat room of the mobile IM (S3209). Thus, the user can confirm the problem of the questioning through the dialog window of the mobile IM as well as the TV screen on which the program is broadcast.
