Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an automatic group generation system, apparatus, method, and computer readable recording medium in a messenger service interlocked with a user activity.

The present invention relates to a method of generating a group in a messenger service, and more particularly, to a method of automatically generating a messenger group with a plurality of users when an activity targeting a plurality of users occurs in an arbitrary service server To an automatic group generation system, apparatus, method and computer-readable recording medium in a messenger service interlocked with a user activity.

In general, the Internet is an open network configured to freely connect and use a common protocol called TCP / IP to a remote computer to be accessed anywhere in the world and to anyone. It is an open network that not only transmits basic character information but also develops compression technology, And various services such as e-mail, file transfer, and World Wide Web (WWW), which are used for delivering the service, can be used.

As the use of the internet has rapidly increased in Korea and the world, the importance of the Internet has been rapidly increasing as a strategic tool for improving efficiency and productivity throughout the existing industries. As a result, new business opportunities through the Internet have been continuously created , And the number of Internet service providers is also increasing.

In recent years, users who need various communication communicate with homepage, e-mail, telephone ARS (Auto Response Service), etc. However, homepage and e-mail are inferior in real-time communication in customer communication. However, there is a disadvantage that the communication cost is heavy for the user.

On the other hand, there is an instant messenger (i.e., a messenger) as a useful method for real-time transmission of information using the Internet. The purpose of messenger is to deliver a simple message between users in real time. The messenger can talk in real time through the letters that are transmitted as if the two users talk directly. This is because the messenger itself attaches importance to the real-time nature of the message and immediately transmits the input contents.

Such a messenger client program not only provides a function of transmitting a message but also provides a function of transmitting an emoticon, a flash cone, a gift cone or the like to a conversation partner through a messenger conversation window or a file using a conversation window.

It also provides a group chat feature that allows not only 1: 1 chat but also chatting with multiple people in one chat window. For the group conversation, the messenger client program must select a plurality of conversation partners and request a conversation to create a group conversation window or add a conversation person in the opened conversation window.

Meanwhile, in order to create a group chat room in the present instant messenger, individual members who are to participate in a conversation should be invited or members who are not yet registered in the chat room but who want to participate in the group chat must directly search for a room and participate in the conversation.

However, when an external service other than a messenger performs a multi-party joint task or activity having a specific purpose such as a task, a project, or a promise, in many cases, a group conversation is continued on the messenger in connection therewith. In such a case, since the messenger service and the external service are not interlocked, the user group has to newly create a group in the instant messenger service and invite members to create a duplicate group There is an inconvenience.

In addition, it is not possible to integrate and view the activity history for achieving a specific purpose separately from the activities of both the external service and the messenger service, and it is not possible to systematically manage or inquire the resultant data or data generated during the operation There are disadvantages. For example, if you collaborate on a book and store a document file in a web office program, each writer can share comments or share materials with a chat service if necessary, and update the results back to the web office Is inconvenient because the intermediate process and data of the product can not be managed together with the result (document).

On the other hand, as a technique related to a method for creating a group chat room in an instant messenger, Korean Patent Application Publication No. 2010-0095205 entitled " Chat Providing System (Sync Pool Inc.) , A configuration is disclosed in which a chat room for each stock item is automatically opened for each of at least one item even if there is no request to open a chat room from the user.

In addition, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2009-0131493, entitled " Method of providing a real-time search query room using the Internet (Minho Kim) "(Document 2), forms a chat room between users, And a chat window can be provided.

In addition, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-0022462 entitled "E-mail transmission-based chatting method (Bongbrae)" (Document 3) and Korean Patent Publication No. 2003-0072844 entitled "E-mail based chat participation induction method" 4), an e-mail is sent to the other party who wants to chat using e-mail, and the other party receiving the e-mail can provide a chat service between the user who has sent the e-mail and the user who has received the e- do.

However, since these methods do not create a messenger group in connection with a multi-party collaborative task or activity having a specific purpose such as business, project, appointment, etc., in an external service, a certain user still has to separately access the messenger server A group is created, and each member has to go to the generated group and participate.

Accordingly, there is a need for a method for automatically generating a messenger group in a messenger server for collaborators via an external activity.
