FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating a terminal device constituting a display screen using a user profile according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

Before describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, the basic idea adopted by the embodiments of the present invention and the technical means for implementing the same will be outlined. The terminal devices described below refer to various types of personal user devices including a typical PC, a notebook, a PDA, and a mobile phone, and are assumed to be connected to a network through wired / wireless communication means. The method of configuring and displaying the display screen proposed by the embodiments of the present invention is not dependent on or limited to a specific operating system mounted on these terminal devices.

As described above, the idle screen of the operating system mounted on the terminal does not display information on other users communicating with and interacting with the user of the terminal. In addition, the messenger application or the SNS application provides a search function for searching for the other party and a profile page for displaying the profile list of the other party. If a user wants to interact with a specific user, he or she must search for the user using the search function or select the user through the entire profile list. In some cases, the function of grouping the profile list according to a certain condition is provided, but this also requires an active search of the user. Therefore, as the number of registered parties increases, it becomes more difficult to access specific parties. For example, when the user profile is displayed in the order of name, it is inconvenient to scroll the screen several times in order to select a person whose last name is "Mr.".

Therefore, embodiments of the present invention, which will be described below, adopt a method of utilizing a specific area in the display screen as an area for displaying information on other users, regardless of the status of the terminal device. That is, the terminal device can continuously expose information on other users through a specific area set in a standby screen in which a specific application is not executed. Even when a messenger or an SNS application is executed, To expose information about other users.

Embodiments of the present invention also seek to utilize a user profile to summarize and display information about other users interacting with a user of the terminal device. Referring to FIG. 1, a profile area 100 includes a user identifier 110, a profile photograph 120, and an introductory text 100, / State information 130 may be included.

The user identifier 110 may be a name, an alias, a telephone number, an e-mail address, or the like of the other party, and is used as a means for identifying the other party in the terminal device. The profile picture 120 is an image that the other party wants to display to other users interacting with each other through the network, and photographs or emoticons that the other party can directly register can be utilized. The introductory / status information 130 can also be a text-type short sentence that can be directly registered by the other party, and can describe an introductory article describing itself or its own state. Of course, such introduction / status information 130 may be automatically set by the application without registering directly by the other party. For example, unnecessary conversation attempts can be blocked by displaying the status information when the terminal device is in the idle state, when the power source is insufficient, or when the navigation is executed during the operation.

FIGS. 2A to 2D illustrate how a profile area adopted by embodiments of the present invention is displayed on a user terminal, and a profile area 100 is displayed on a smartphone.

2A illustrates a situation in which the profile area 100 is exposed on the idle screen of the smartphone. An upper part of the upper part of the screen is set as the profile area 100 separately from the icons of the other applications or the display area 210 of the desktop in the entire display screen as shown in FIG. The profile information of another user is displayed. At this time, the displayed profile information is preferably selected from the exposure profile pools created by various rules, and is exposed to the profile area 100 for a certain period of time, and then replaced with another user profile. Of course, the exposure profile pool may be randomly selected among a plurality of users registered in the terminal device, but may be variously configured according to the status of the terminal device or the type and execution condition of the application being executed through the terminal device. That is, it is desirable to differentiate the exposure from the configuration of the exposure profile pool or through the profile area 100 for each user. The exposure method of the profile area 100 described above can be applied similarly to FIGS. 2B to 2D as well as FIG. 2A, and a more specific method of constructing the exposure profile pool will be described later with reference to FIG. 4 to FIG.

In FIG. 2A, when a user of the smart phone selects a user profile exposed through the profile area 100, a list of various services that can be provided through the corresponding smart phone in association with the selected user may be displayed. For example, actions such as dialing, text sending, email writing, messenger or SNS application running and sending feedback to a selected user may be performed. Accordingly, it is possible to utilize the profile area 100 as a portal or a shortcut for entering a specific application.

2B to 2D assume a situation where a messenger application is executed in a smartphone.

FIG. 2B illustrates an example of a screen displaying the friend list 220 of the messenger application. That is, it can be confirmed that the friend list 220 sorted in the name order is displayed. At this time, apart from the friend list 220 at the bottom of the screen, the user profile is continuously exposed according to a specific condition through the profile area 100 set at the top of the screen. In this case, it is preferable that the exposed user profile corresponds to a user having a relatively higher priority than a general friend list 220 displayed at the bottom of the screen. For example, users with high conversations or users with high call records may be given high priority. Through this screen configuration, the user can more easily access the conversation partner through the selection of the profile area 100 exposed at the top of the screen without scrolling the friend list 220 at the bottom of the screen.

FIG. 2C illustrates a screen for displaying the past conversation history list 230 of the messenger application. In addition to the conversation history list 230 at the bottom of the screen, the profile list 100 shown in FIG. You will continue to expose your user profile.

FIG. 2D illustrates a screen in which a specific user is attempting to communicate with a specific user through an instant messenger application. In addition to the dialog window 240 at the bottom of the screen, the user profile is continuously . In this case, it is preferable that the exposed user profile corresponds to a user having a high degree of connection with the conversation partner in the dialog window 240 at the bottom of the screen. For example, if the user profile for the current conversation user and the common friend of the conversation partner are displayed through the profile area 100, it would be possible to direct a common friend to an ongoing conversation, The above group chat is possible. Therefore, if the conversation is in progress through the messenger application, the user profile whose exposure probability is increased through the process of calculating the degree of association with the conversation partner may be exposed to the profile area 100, A more detailed process will be described later with reference to FIG.

In summary, the embodiments of the present invention continuously expose the profile information of the other party interacting with the user of the terminal device through the terminal device 100 through the profile area 100, thereby allowing the user to automatically To obtain the summarized information.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned technical problems will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description and the accompanying drawings, detailed description of well-known functions or constructions that may obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted. It is to be noted that the same components are denoted by the same names and reference numerals as possible throughout the drawings.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying a display screen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In step 310, the terminal device sets a specific area in the display screen as a profile area. To this end, the operating system of the terminal device may reserve a set profile area and display an idle screen or an application program of the operating system through other areas in configuring the display screen, or may display a standby After displaying the screen or the application program, the set profile area may be displayed in a floating manner.

In step 320, the terminal device receives profile information of another user interacting with the user of the terminal device, and generates an exposure profile pool. Here, the other user may be any one of a user registered in the address book of the terminal device, a user registered in conversation through the messenger application of the terminal device, and a user connected through the SNS application of the terminal device. That is, the user identifier can be obtained from the address book stored in association with the user account of the terminal device, or the identifier of the friend or friend registered through the messenger or the SNS application installed in the terminal device. Then, the terminal device receives the profile of the other party from the counterpart terminal device or the profile providing server using the obtained user identifier, and forms an exposure profile pool to be exposed through the profile area. At this time, it is preferable that the exposure profile pool does not include a user whose basic element information (for example, profile picture or introduction / status information) constituting the profile information is missing. Because user profiles lacking information to introduce themselves are less valuable as profile information, it is advantageous to exclude them from the exposure profile in terms of information provision.

In step 330, the terminal device displays a user profile selected from the exposure profile pool generated through step 320 in a profile area set through step 310 according to a predetermined exposure probability per user. In the profile pool created in step 320, the exposure probability of each individual user profile may be basically given the same value. However, the probability of such exposure can be adjusted according to the situation displayed in the profile area or the execution condition of the application have.

4 to 6, various embodiments for determining the exposure probability for the user profile in the display screen display method of FIG. 3 will be described. 4 through 6 each include additional configurations that are performed after step 320 of generating the exposure profile of FIG. 3, but these sequences may be varied as needed for implementation, And focus on the configuration.

FIG. 4 illustrates a method of varying the weight of user profile exposure according to a change in profile.

In step 321, the terminal device detects whether the received profile information is updated based on at least one of a change of the profile picture and a change of the introduction text. To this end, the terminal device receives the updated profile information from the other terminal device or a separate profile server. At this time, it is preferable that the profile information of the other party before being updated is stored in the user's terminal together with a timestamp. Therefore, when the newly received profile information is compared with the time stamp of the previously stored profile information and it is confirmed that the time stamp of the newly received profile information is later in time, it can be determined that the profile information of the other party is updated .

In step 322, the terminal increases the exposure probability of the user whose profile has been updated according to the detection result in step 321. [ That is, by increasing the exposure probability of the other party maintaining the latest profile, it is possible to induce exposure more frequently through the profile area.

Then, in step 330, the user is selected from the exposure profile pool according to the changed exposure probability per user, and the profile information of the selected user is displayed in the set profile area.

FIG. 5 illustrates a method of varying the weight of user profile exposure in connection with a fee-based service.

In step 323, the terminal device receives the charged service use information of another user. Here, the paid service may be a paid service in connection with the operating system itself, a paid service in conjunction with a messenger or an SNS application, and the specific items of such a paid service are not restricted. For example, it may be that another user (meaning a contact party) has purchased a paid product of the instant messenger application, or another user has purchased a paid product related to the profile exposure / advertisement of the instant messenger application . That is, a provider of a messenger service may sell a fee item for an impression of a user who wants to increase the profile exposure, and a user who purchases such a paid item may display his / her user profile with a relatively high probability do.

In step 324, the terminal adjusts the exposure probability per user in proportion to the payment cost of the charged service use information received through step 323. In this case, the higher the settlement cost, the greater the probability of exposure for each user. In addition, for convenience of implementation, it is possible to classify sections according to settlement costs, and to obtain the exposure probability by calculating relative weights for each class. For example, a user who has purchased a first grade profile advertisement product can be given the highest weight, and a user who has purchased the second grade profile advertisement product can be given a relatively low weight value. Of course, users who have not purchased any paid services will be given a lower weight than those who have paid services.

Then, in step 330, the user is selected from the exposure profile pool according to the changed exposure probability per user, and the profile information of the selected user is displayed in the set profile area.

Figure 6 illustrates a method of varying the weight of user profile exposures based on the interaction history with other users.

In step 325, the terminal device records the interaction history of the user of the terminal device with another user. The interaction history may be a telephone conversation history, a message transmission / reception history, an email transmission / reception history, a conversation or feedback history through a messenger or an SNS application. That is, all kinds of communication history between the user and the other party are targeted.

In step 326, the terminal extracts the frequency of the interaction or the last interaction time from the history recorded in step 325 for the user having the interaction history for a predetermined period. At this time, the setting of the predetermined period is intended to exclude the communication from being regarded as being disconnected from the history when the period of communication with the specific partner becomes too long. That is, the frequency of the interaction or the interaction time is extracted from the recorded history based on the recent period.

In step 327, the terminal adjusts the exposure probability per user based on the frequency or time extracted in step 326. In this case, the adjustment of the exposure probability per user may be designed to be proportional or in inverse proportion to the extracted frequency or time. For example, assume that a certain period is set to one week. If there is a conversation history for a week but the conversation frequency is low or a long time has passed since the last conversation, you can expose the user profile more frequently by adjusting the probability of exposure per user. This is to promote dialogue by having more interaction with the other party with less frequency. Alternatively, under the same conditions (assuming that a conversation history exists for a week, but the conversation frequency is low and a long time has elapsed since the conversation last), it may be possible to adjust the probability of exposure for each user conversely. This is to reduce the number of profile exposures, assuming that the user is not willing to talk frequently with the corresponding party in the conversation pattern.

Then, in step 330, the user is selected from the exposure profile pool according to the changed exposure probability per user, and the profile information of the selected user is displayed in the set profile area.

Various embodiments in which the probability of exposure for each user can be adjusted through FIGS. 4 to 6 are exemplified above. These embodiments may be implemented independently of each other, or may be coupled to each other and operated in parallel as required. If each of the embodiments operates in combination, it may be calculated according to one consistent exposure probability calculation method by quantifying the adjusted values of the respective exposure probabilities. For this, a weight calculation table as shown in Table 1 illustrated below may be utilized.

Rating Classification criteria weight One If you purchased an A profile ad product 50 2 If you purchased a B profile ad product 20 3 If you make calls, send / receive messages, send / receive emails, or chat more than 3 times within 3 days 15 4 Your profile photo or introduction has changed within 3 hours 10 5 If you make calls, send and receive messages, send and receive emails, or have less than 3 chats within a week 7 6 Your profile photo or introduction has changed within 3 days. 5 7 Your profile photo or introduction is registered 2 8 If photos and introductory articles are not registered 0

That is, it is possible to calculate the weight for each user through the weight calculation table illustrated in Table 1 according to an event generated for each user, and to determine the exposure probability even under a complex condition based thereon.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a function of associating an interactive situation and a profile exposure method in the screen display method of FIG. 2D illustrating an interactive situation through a messenger application. When a messenger application is executed in a terminal device, It is assumed that the user profile is displayed through the profile area 100 set in a separate area together with the dialog window 240. [ At this time, even during the conversation through the messenger application, the terminal device continuously displays the user profile selected in the created exposure profile pool in the profile area 100. In order to display the user profile through the profile area 100, the terminal device may generate the impression profile pool using the profile of the user other than the conversation partner of the messenger application. However, if necessary, It may be included within the exposure profile pool.

The user having a high degree of association with the conversation partner is preferably displayed through the profile area 100 through FIG. That is, a user exposed through the profile area 100 in FIG. 7 (hereinafter referred to as a third party for convenience) may be a common friend of a user of the terminal device and a conversation partner. Here, a friend refers to a partner who interacts through a terminal device, not a friend in a dictionary meaning, and may be a conversation partner or a feedback partner of a conversation history, a message transmission / reception history, an email transmission / reception history, a messenger or an SNS application . Thus, in FIG. 7, the user of the terminal device may wish to engage a third party, a friend in common with the conversation currently in progress. If the current conversation is a group conversation, the third party may be a common friend of the conversation partner in the group conversation and the user, or may be a common friend of at least one of the conversation partners and the user. The range of the common friend can be determined according to the user setting or the basic setting.

Accordingly, when the user selects the profile area 100 during the conversation through the messenger application, the selected user is additionally participated in the conversation currently in progress so that the user of the terminal device, the conversation partner participating in the original conversation, A group conversation including a user (meaning a third party) can be induced. Various implementation methods can be utilized to engage a group conversation by engaging a common friend in an ongoing conversation. For example, if a user profile displayed through the profile area 100 is selected while the current conversation is in progress, the user may proceed directly to a 1: 1 conversation or a group conversation, or a separate screen May be displayed to display selectable function items.

In the example of FIG. 7, which is presented as an example, when the user selects the profile area 100, the selection buttons as shown are displayed. The user may select the button 150 for the 1: 1 conversation to initiate a separate conversation with the third party besides the current conversation, or select the button 170 for the group conversation to select the third party's participation in the current conversation . If the user selects the group dialog button 170, a group conversation involving three persons including 'user', 'other party', and 'third party' is performed. Also, when the user selects the profile area 100 under the situation where the group conversation is currently being performed by a plurality of conversation participants, selection buttons as shown in FIG. 7 may be displayed. The user may select the button 150 for the 1: 1 conversation to initiate a separate conversation with the third party besides the current conversation, or select the button 170 for the group conversation to select the third party's participation in the current conversation . If the user selects the group dialog button 170, the selected user (meaning a third party) is invited as an additional contact to participate in the ongoing group conversation.

To this end, in the embodiment of FIG. 7, after the conversation is started through the messenger application, the terminal device constructs an appropriate exposure profile pool. This process can be implemented as the following two embodiments.

First, the terminal device receives the interactive user list of the conversation partner, and increases the probability of exposure for each user for the user common to the received user list in the exposure profile pool generated through the previous process. That is, by increasing the probability of exposure to a common friend of the user and the other party, the user profile having a high degree of correlation with the conversation partner of the messenger application is guided to be displayed in the profile area with a relatively high probability.

Second, the terminal device stores the classification information of other users in advance, and when the conversation is started through the messenger application, the probability of exposure for each user in the same category as the conversation partner in the exposure profile pool is calculated . In this case, the classification information may be classification information of the address book associated with the user account of the terminal, classification information preset by the user through the messenger or the SNS application, or the like. For example, if a conversation partner belongs to the "college motivation" category, the probability of exposure to the users belonging to the remaining "college motivation" category is increased. That is, referring to the classification information stored in the terminal device without receiving additional information, a user profile having a high degree of correlation with the conversation partner of the messenger application is guided to be displayed in the profile area with a relatively high probability.

Of course, the screen displayed at this time includes the profile area described above through various embodiments of the present invention.

The processing unit 20 sets a specific area in the display screen as a profile area and receives profile information of another user interacting with the user of the terminal device 800 via the communication unit 10 to generate an exposure profile pool, And displays the user profile selected in the exposure profile pool in the profile area through the display unit 30 according to the set exposure probability per user.

At this time, the processing unit 20 detects whether the received profile information is updated based on at least one of a change of the profile photograph and a change of the introduction text, and increases the exposure probability of the user whose profile is updated according to the detection result . In addition, the processing unit 20 can receive the charged service use information of another user and adjust the probability of exposure for each user in proportion to the payment cost of the received charged service use information. Further, the processing unit 20 records the interaction history with other users, and extracts the frequency or the last interaction time of the interaction from the recorded history for the user having the interaction history for a predetermined period , And may adjust the exposure probability per user based on the extracted frequency or time.

In terms of implementation, the processing unit 20 may be implemented as at least one processor to perform a series of operations as described above. If necessary, in order to secure a necessary work space in performing the operations, Memory may be utilized. Of course, it is of course possible to add software codes that define these operations based on the processor.

According to the embodiments of the present invention, the profile information of the other user interacting with the user of the terminal device is received to generate the exposure profile pool. By continuously exposing the profile of the other party through the profile area, information on the other party can be provided on the idle screen of the terminal device. Furthermore, even when the messenger application or the SNS application is executed, It can automatically be exposed. By adjusting the probability of exposure per user according to the set conditions, even if the number of the parties connected through the network increases, the perception of the other party is maintained through the exposure of the proper user profile, .
