Description

MOBILE INTELLIGENT APPARATUS AND METHOD SUPPORTING MESSAGE-BASED DYNAMIC SERVICES}

Embodiments of the present invention support message-based dynamic services that provide personalized services by extracting, processing, and analyzing a series of messages or repetitive message data transmitted from the same sender, thereby providing a user-specific interface and function. Mobile intelligent device and method.

Message services such as text messaging services (SMS) and smartphone messengers are responsible for delivering data such as text and images. However, since the existing message service does not analyze the meaning of the data, it does not provide a user-specific user interface and does not provide additional services related to the message data.

On the other hand, there is a service for searching a web page using a URL included in the message. Access to these web pages causes network traffic to increase because both the message view and the data must be received. In the present invention, since the template can be repeatedly used after being stored in the local device and only data is exchanged, the template can reduce the cost in the mobile environment. In addition, the existing web service requires an additional authentication procedure in order to receive personal information through a web page, but the present invention may provide personal information only through analysis of data stored in the terminal.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a message-based dynamic service that provides personalized service by providing a user interface and statistical function specific to a message by extracting, processing, and analyzing a series of messages or repetitive message data transmitted from the same sender. Provides mobile intelligent devices and methods to support.

In order to achieve the above embodiments, a mobile intelligent device supporting a message-based dynamic service includes a message receiving module for receiving a message; And a view manager extracting a template ID from the message, loading a template corresponding to the extracted template ID from a memory, and processing and displaying data received and included in the message by the loaded template. .

In addition, a mobile intelligent method for supporting a message-based dynamic service to achieve the above embodiment comprises the steps of: receiving a message; Extracting a template ID from the message; Loading a template corresponding to the extracted template ID from a memory; And processing and displaying data received in the message by the loaded template.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, since the message is clearly separated from the data and the template (view module + business logic module), the message may provide a user interface and data logic service specialized for each message.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a user interface for each message may be provided by combining a web service and a UI element provided by the terminal platform through data analysis. For example, the terminal may represent a map based on location information and provide various UI components for input and output of a user.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user input data and user identification data (eg, a phone number) may be configured as a new message and transmitted to a third party server to perform additional analysis. For example, when calling a call taxi, the user's preferences can be sent to the server to select the appropriate taxi. In addition, the terminal may grasp statistical information in real time using the voting and questionnaire data.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a series of data may be analyzed to provide various additional services specialized for a message. For example, the terminal may provide monthly usage history and statistics, point accumulation history, business card usage statistics, and regional usage statistics based on the credit card usage message.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, network traffic can be reduced because only the message data is received when the template is stored in the local device. In addition, the terminal can provide a service even offline by analyzing the message data stored in the local device and can reduce the burden on the server due to network traffic.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the technical aspect, the message sender may continuously update the related service by modifying the template. That is, the terminal may dynamically provide the latest service to the user by modifying the template without separately modifying the application program.

1 is a system configuration diagram illustrating a process of providing a service specialized for a message when a mobile intelligent device receives a message according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Third-party (3 ^rd Party) companies such as businesses and public institutions should register a template that contains the message processing logic in the message center (110). The template manager 111 of the message center 110 verifies the validity of the template registered by the third party company and stores the template in the database. A database is a device that stores data.

The third party company transmits a message to the customer through the message center 110. The message center 110 stores a message received from a third party company in a database and transmits the message to a customer set as a message receiver. If the customer requests a message, the message center 110 transmits the message to an application installed in the terminal. Here, the terminal means a mobile device such as a smartphone or a tablet computer, and the message is composed of a template ID and data. The message receiver of the application program 120 operating in the terminal receives the message and stores the message in the message database.

The view manager 121 of the application program 120 extracts the template ID from the message, loads the template corresponding to the extracted template ID from the memory, and processes and displays the received data included in the message by the loaded template. do. This will be described in detail as follows. When the user inquires a message, the view manager 121 of the application program 120 determines whether a template corresponding to the inquired message exists. If the template does not exist, the view manager 121 receives the template from the message center 110. After receiving the template, the view manager 121 stores the received template in a template database according to a version.

The view manager 121 of the application program 120 generates a view that is a screen interface using a template and message data. If the user requests another service using a menu existing in the view, the view manager 121 may create a new view using message data or local data.

The user selects a menu included in the view using the generated views to use a message-specific service. If the third party company updates the template and registers it in the message center 110, the user can use the new function of the updated template for the same data so that the user can always use the latest service without modifying the application 120. have.

Message Definition

In the present invention, a message may be defined as a concept of an application service having a pattern of MVC (Model, View, Controller) rather than an object containing data. 2 shows components of a message according to an embodiment of the present invention. The message consists of data and template IDs, the data acts as a model, and the template contains a view module and a business logic module.

The message data contains various information (text, image, voice, video, location information, contact information, etc.). The message template ID is defined as a unique value for distinguishing a template and is composed of a distributor identifier and a version. As an example of the template identifier, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) may be used and may have a structure as follows.

http://templates.mellowm.com/seoul-call-taxi/1.0

Distributor Identifier Version

A template consists of a set of components, each of which has a view module and a business logic module to provide a service. Therefore, the template can provide a plurality of services for each component. The template is stored and managed in the terminal and is kept up-to-date through the message center and synchronization function.

3 shows an example of a message expressed in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

JSON string consists of Key, Value pairs and can be nested. Referring to FIG. 3, the "metadata" key includes a sender ID (sender), a template identifier (templateUri), a backward compatible template version (compatibleVersion), and data in the "message" key.

The components of the template have a 'view module' and a 'business logic module' (see FIG. 4). The view module contains information for representing the data in the message on the screen and defines the style, layout, etc. of the data. The business logic module is responsible for providing a variety of information through the creation, processing, and analysis of data by accessing message data, sensor data of a terminal, or a local database. Since the components of a template are connected to each other, one template can provide various services through a view module and a business logic module. Examples of implementing the components of a template include HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. HTML, CSS, etc. can act as view modules to represent data, while JavaScript can use data to act as business logic modules to provide dynamic services.

Message as a Service

A message in the present invention is an active entity that can process and analyze data to provide personalized information. In the example of a credit card message as shown in FIG. 3, the terminal may provide one service by generating a view based on card information, owner, use date, payment amount, installment details, and card point status information through a view module. If the user requests monthly statistics or business card usage statistics, the terminal can create a new view based on the usage history stored in the local database through the business logic module. After all, a message is not simply a role as an entity that contains information, but an active concept that can provide personalized services.

5 shows a process of providing a message service through a combination of a template and data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Message 1 provides a service through the view module and the business logic module included in the template using the data and template included in the message, and message 2 provides an additional service using the data stored in the local database.

On the other hand, the application program of the terminal serves as a container for performing a 'message as a service'. That is, the terminal is a container for storing and loading messages, and may provide various services by applying a corresponding template set to the message according to the received message.

Third-party vendors can provide services with new features by updating the template. That is, the third party company may improve the service by creating a new template and registering it in the message center and transmitting a message including the new template identifier to the terminal. In addition, even if the local database or sensor information is the same, third-party vendors can provide upgraded functionality by modifying the template. As a result, the terminal can actively provide a new service by updating a template without modifying an application program.

Message template versioning

The terminal compares the template version stored in the memory with the template version of the received message and requests the message center to receive the template when the latest template is needed.

To illustrate this, the terminal's view manager may request the template version specified in the message from the message center if the template itself specified in the message does not exist in the terminal or if the template version stored in the terminal's memory is less than the minimum compatible lower version specified in the message. Receive and store in memory. In addition, the view manager receives the updated template from the message center according to the user's request if the template version stored in the memory of the terminal is not smaller than the minimum compatible lower version specified in the message but is different from the template version specified in the message. Store in

There are three types of template versions:

Template version currently stored in memory (V _C )-> Template version stored in user's device

The template version specified in the message (V _M )-> The template version used to represent the received message data.

Minimum compatible lower version as specified in the message (V _L )-> Minimum lower version that can represent the data in the received message (always V _L <= V _M is established)

As shown in FIG. 6, the criteria for determining whether the terminal updates the template is as follows.

Case 1: If no template exists on the current device

The terminal requests and receives the corresponding template from the message center. The terminal creates a view by connecting the received template and data.

Case 2: Template Version You Own <Minimum Minimum Compatible Version

-> The terminal requests a template version V _M from the message center. The terminal creates a view by connecting the received template and data.

Case 3: (Minimum compatible lower version <= template version currently owned) && (currently owned template version <template version specified in the message)

-> The terminal informs the user that a new template is available. Upon request of the user, the terminal receives the template version V _M and then creates a view.

Case 4: Template Version You Own = Template Version of the Message

-> Since the terminal owns the latest version of the template, the view is created using the template that is currently owned.

Message Service Case

The application of the terminal provides a message service based on the data received from the credit card company is as follows. As shown in FIG. 7A, the application receives 700 a message from a message center. At this time, the received message is composed of data and template ID. The user may check the message received from the message center in the message list (710), and the terminal outputs a summary of the message data in the message list. On the other hand, when the user touches the message area, the terminal may output a "Mellow Card" dialog window (720). If the user touches the 'detail view' button (721), the terminal applies a template to the data to switch to a detailed screen composed by combining the template and the data.

After comparing the stored template version with the template version of the received message, the terminal requests the template from the message center as shown in FIG. 8 when it is necessary to receive a new template (800). The terminal may display a progress bar by outputting a progress bar to the user while synchronizing the template (810). When the "information" button on the screen is touched, the terminal may inquire detailed information about the template currently being used (811). If there is a new version, the terminal indicates whether or not the template update is selected to be recognized by the user (812).

The view manager of the terminal combines the data and the template included in the received message, processes the data with the view module and the business logic module included in the template, and displays the data as shown in FIG. 9A (930). If the user touches the 'use analysis' tab bar at the bottom (931), the terminal may generate an additional view as shown in FIG. FIG. 9B illustrates monthly usage history 940, point accumulation history 941, business card usage statistics 942, location / region card usage statistics 943, and the like based on user usage history stored in a local database. Shows. Since this information uses local data stored in the terminal, the terminal does not need to additionally connect to the card company server. Meanwhile, the terminal may add a function for downloading the updated template from the message center to receive additional information (use guide 932, event 933, newsletter 934) (931).
