Referring to FIG. 1, a wired / wireless communication system to which the present invention can be applied may include a user terminal 100, a server 200, and a network 300.

However, the wired / wireless communication system described below includes at least one of the components shown in FIG. 1, but is not limited thereto. FIG. 1 shows only one user terminal, server, and network, Alternatively, one or more user terminals (e.g., a first terminal, a second terminal), one or more servers (e.g., a management server, a mediation server, a relay server, or a client server) And one or more networks, and each user terminal and server can be connected through different networks.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the user terminal 100 may transmit the value evaluation request message or the value evaluation response message input from the user to the server 200 providing the social network service through the network 300 . Accordingly, in the present invention, the user terminal 100 can be interpreted as a concept of a device capable of transmitting and receiving a communication signal.

In this case, one or more applications may be installed in the user terminal 100. In particular, an API (Application) related to a social network service forming a connection relationship between users based on a value evaluation, which is an embodiment of the present invention, Program Interface) or embedded software (Embedded Software).

The user terminal 100 may transmit or receive data or signals to or from the server 200 through the user terminal itself or through one or more installed applications, And may be related to the execution of a social network service that forms a connection relationship between users based on an evaluation value of an embodiment.

A terminal, a mobile station (MS), a mobile subscriber station (MSS), a subscriber station (SS), an advanced mobile station (AMS), a wireless terminal (WT) (MTC) device, a machine-to-machine (M2M) device, and a D2D device-to-device device.

Of course, this is merely an example, and the user terminal in the present invention should be construed as a concept including all the devices that are currently developed, commercialized, or to be developed in the future, or capable of signal transmission.

1, the server 200 refers to an object capable of transmitting and receiving data with at least one other device through a wired / wireless communication system. In the present invention, the server 200 may additionally include a mediation server and / or a client server .

An example of the server 200 is a cloud server, an IMS (Multimedia Subsystem) server, a telephony application server, an IM (instant messaging) server, a MGCF (Media Gateway Control Function) And a CSCF (Call Session Control Function) server. The server 200 may include an object capable of transmitting and receiving data, such as a PC (personal computer), a notebook computer, and a tablet PC May be implemented as a device.

The network 300 refers to a data communication network for transmitting and receiving data such as text, digital images, and digital images between the user terminal 100 and the server 200, and the type thereof is not particularly limited.

For example, it may be an IP (Internet Protocol) network that provides a large capacity data transmission / reception service through an Internet Protocol (IP), or an All IP network that integrates different IP networks.

Also, the network 300 may include a mobile communication network including a wired network, a Wibro (Wireless Broadband) network, a WCDMA, a mobile communication network including a High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) network and an LTE (Long Term Evolution) (LTE-A), a satellite communication network, and a Wi-Fi network, or a combination of at least one of them.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a social network service in which a server forms a connection relationship between users based on a value evaluation in a wire / wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, in the present invention, a server can receive a value evaluation request message from a user terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a first user terminal) that is a subscriber to a social network service. (S201)

More specifically, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the first user terminal can generate a value evaluation request message for requesting an evaluation of its value through the social network service, And transmit the generated value evaluation request message to the server through the social network service. In addition, the server may transmit the received value evaluation request message to a second user terminal. (S202)

At this time, the value evaluation request message may include photograph information about the user of the first user terminal, which is a value evaluation target, and UI information for performing the value evaluation.

In this case, an application or a computer program related to the social network service may be installed in advance in the first user terminal, the first user terminal may be a user terminal already registered in the social network service, And may be a user terminal that has previously performed the user authentication procedure together with the subscription.

Therefore, if the first user terminal is not already registered with the application or the computer program related to the social network service, or is not executing the user authentication procedure, the first user terminal will execute the application or the computer program related to the social network service In this case, the application or the computer program related to the social network service may separately request the first user terminal to perform the subscription procedure or the user authentication procedure for the social network service.

Meanwhile, as described above, the value evaluation request message is transmitted to another user (for example, a user of the second user terminal) on the social networking service that the user of the first user terminal can access through the communication network, And may be a message requesting evaluation of the value of the user who is judged after reading the information.

At this time, the other user (for example, the user of the second user terminal) is determined by the user of the first user terminal selecting a specific one of the at least one or more other users registered on the social network service And may be determined to be a specific user selected by the user of the first user terminal among the at least one user previously registered in the contact list of the first user terminal but not registered in the social network service, For example, a specific user who is not also registered on the social network service and is not stored in the contact list of the first user terminal.

If the user of the first user terminal selects a specific user among at least one or more users stored in the contact list of the first user terminal although the user of the first user terminal is not registered on the social network service, In the case of inputting an identification number (e.g., a telephone number, etc.) for a specific user that is not stored in the contact list of the first user terminal, a message requesting subscription for the social network service is input to the value evaluation message Can be included together.

Also, in the present invention, the value evaluation request message may include value evaluation information for the second terminal user, which is a result of the value evaluation performed by the first terminal user on the second terminal user.

That is, the value evaluation request message is a message that the user of the first terminal views his / her photo information to another user (for example, the user of the second user terminal) selected by himself / herself, When the user of the first user terminal transmits the value evaluation request message, the value of the other user (for example, the user of the second user terminal) is evaluated first, And the value evaluation information for the resultant second terminal user can be included together.

More specifically, assume that A is a subscriber to the social network service, B is a subscriber to the social network service, and A is another user selected.

In this case, after performing the value evaluation on the B through the social network service, the A can transmit the value evaluation information on the result B to the B together with the subscription invitation message for the social network service, The subscription invitation message may include access information (e.g., link information, URL information, service subscription information, etc.) for connection to the social network service.

In this case, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the value evaluation information for B may be set to private, and in order for B to view its own rating information evaluated by the A, Lt; / RTI > may be set to be preceded by a subscription to < RTI ID =

That is, in the case of a general social network service, most of the users are invited to join by simply transmitting a subscription invitation message to another user who is not subscribed to the social network service. However, according to the present invention, in addition to the subscription invitation message, the value evaluation information for the other user is transmitted together, so that the other user may subscribe to the social network service even in order to view the value evaluation information about the user Therefore, according to the embodiment of the present invention, there is an effect that invitation for invitation to join can be performed, which further improves the joining probability.

On the other hand, when B joins the social network service, which receives the value evaluation information about itself together with the subscription invitation message for the social network service, B adds value evaluation information about itself In addition, it can perform the self evaluation of A that transmitted the subscription invitation message.

If B performs a value evaluation on A, A and B perform a value evaluation with respect to each other. At this time, a friend relationship is formed between A and B in the social network service .

Thus, when a friend relationship is formed between the A and the B in the social network service, the A and the B each can check each other in the friend relationship list. In addition, according to the present invention, the friendship relationship may be classified into various categories based on the evaluation result.

That is, if A evaluates the B as a good friend, and B evaluates the A as a friend who listens well, a friend relationship is formed between A and B The A's friend list may additionally include various categories. Specifically, the B may be included in the group of the good friends even in the friend list of the A, and the A may listen to the troubles even in the friend list of the B The state may be included in the category of friends.

Therefore, in the present invention, when a friend relationship is formed among a plurality of users in a social network service, they can be distinguished from each other merely as a friend relationship, and also as another category having various characteristics even within the friend relationship.

At this time, the classification may be based on a predetermined number and / or content (for example, a friend who has a lot of money, a friend who listens well, a friend who studies well, a friend who plays well, Alternatively, each of the users in the social network service may individually set the number and / or contents.

As described above, when a plurality of users forming a friend relationship within the social network service are differentiated again as an additional classification for each user, the friend classification is performed as a more granular reference for each user Thereby, it is possible to have the effect of enabling the fine-grained friend relationship management such as sending another request only to the friend of the desired category.

Meanwhile, the process of performing the value evaluation and the resulting value evaluation information will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3 through FIG.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the value evaluation request message may include UI information for performing the value evaluation, and the description will be made with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the UI information includes a dial UI (FIG. 3 (a) , The swipe UI (FIG. 3B), or the list UI (FIG. 3C), but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the UI information may be implemented in other forms according to the settings .

In the present invention, the dial UI (FIG. 3A), the swipe UI (FIG. 3B) or the list UI (FIG. 3C) may include at least one value evaluation item, The value evaluation item includes a word having a single / complex meaning that can directly / indirectly represent the object of valuation such as the shape, image, feel, characteristic, personality of the object of evaluation (user of the first user terminal) . In the present invention, the value evaluation item may be used as a tool or means for evaluating the value of the object of evaluation (the user of the first user terminal) by the user of the second user terminal.

In addition, in the present invention, the valuation items may include, for example, things related to appearance such as beauty, sexy, thin, fat, puddle, good looks, or something related to personality such as accountability, philosophy, This is by way of example only and not by way of limitation.

That is, in the present invention, the value evaluation item may be represented by at least one of an icon, text, and image, or a combination thereof, and the number or the number of the value may vary depending on the setting It is not limited.

In the present invention, the dial UI (FIG. 3A) may be a circle 301, and as shown in FIG. 4A, when the user of the second user terminal is a user of the first user terminal When the dial UI is dragged in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction with a range of 360 degrees in a state that the circular rim portion 302 is touched in order to evaluate the value of the dial UI, At least one value evaluation item (which may be expressed as text or graphics, but not limited to) 303 may be sequentially moved / displayed corresponding to the drag direction, thereby performing a search for the one or more value evaluation items .

In this case, the dial UI may further include arrow UIs 304-1 and 304-2 capable of controlling the dial UI, and the arrow UI capable of controlling the dial UI may include a left arrow 304 -1) and the right arrow 304-2, and the left arrow 304-1 and the right arrow 304-2 are formed on the left side (center) and the right side (center) of the dial UI .

Also, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), a selection (for example, click) for at least one of the left arrow 304-1 or the right arrow 304-2, The user can move the dial UI 302 in the counterclockwise or clockwise direction corresponding to the input selection (for example, when the number of clicks is equal to the number of clicks, (E.g., moving the UI), and at least one value evaluation item 303 displayed inside the prototype 301 of the dial UI is sequentially moved / displayed in correspondence with the moved direction The value evaluation item can be moved / displayed in the corresponding direction by the number corresponding to the number of the evaluation items), so that the search for the one or more value evaluation items can be performed.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 4 (b), selection of at least one of the left arrow 304-1 or the right arrow 304-2 is maintained for a predetermined time or longer (For example, 2 seconds or 3 seconds or more), the dial UI 302 is rotated counterclockwise or clockwise at a predetermined speed (for example, 2 seconds or more) And at least one value evaluation item 303 displayed inside the prototype 301 of the dial UI is sequentially moved in correspondence with the moving speed in the moving direction, / Can be displayed.

Referring again to FIG. 3 (b), the value evaluation request message may include UI information for performing the value evaluation, and the UI information may be composed of a swipe UI 305.

At this time, when the swipe motion in the left direction or the right direction is inputted from the user through the swipe UI 305, at least one value evaluation item 306 corresponds to the direction and velocity of the input swallow motion So that they can be sequentially moved / displayed.

Referring to FIG. 3C, the value evaluation request message may include UI information for performing the value evaluation, and the UI information may include a list UI 307.

At this time, when the rolling motion in the upward direction or the downward direction is inputted from the user through the scroll 308 in the list UI 307, at least one value evaluation item is selected in correspondence with the direction and speed of the inputted rolling motion Can be moved / displayed sequentially.

If the user of the second user terminal performs the value evaluation for the user of the first user terminal according to the above-described process and method, the server performs a value evaluation including a result of the value evaluation for the user of the first user terminal A response message may be received from the second user terminal to control a connection relationship between the user of the first user terminal and the user of the second user terminal that performed mutual value evaluation on the social network service. (S203, S204)

5 and 6 are views for explaining a process of performing a value evaluation between users on a social network service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, according to a method and a procedure as described above with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, a user of the second user terminal can perform a specific value evaluation among at least one value evaluation item It is possible to make a search or decision on the item.

At this time, a selection of the determined specific value evaluation item may be input from the user of the second user terminal. The selection of the specific value evaluation item may be performed as shown in FIG. 5B or 5C Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6 (b) or FIG. 6 (c), drag and drop for a specific value evaluation item or And can be performed with a tap and hold.

For example, after the user of the second user terminal has tapped the specific value evaluation item, the specific value evaluation item is stored in the tab of the photograph of the value evaluation object (the user of the first user terminal) Frame, and then releasing the tab. In this case, if the specific value evaluation item is moved into the picture frame for the value evaluation object (the user of the first user terminal) while the tab is maintained , The area in which the specific value evaluation item was present may be set to be expressed in a form in which the sticker is removed (e.g., dotted line, etc.). In addition, if the tab of the specific value evaluation item is released in an area outside the photo frame for the value evaluation object (user of the first user terminal), the selection of the specific value evaluation item is understood to be canceled Can be set.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, when the selection of the specific value evaluation item is input from the user of the second user terminal according to the above method, as shown in FIG. 5 (c) ), The selected specific value evaluation item can be displayed in a state in which the selected specific value evaluation item is applied.

Here, the 'applied state' means that the selected specific value evaluation item is not applied definitively but applied only temporarily, and in the applied state, the selected specific value evaluation item is' (E.g., black and white, opaque, etc.) predetermined on the photo information of the user (e.g.

On the other hand, in the present invention, in a state where the specific value evaluation item is applied to the picture evaluation information of the value evaluation object (the user of the first user terminal), the user of the second user terminal Additional input can be received.

In this case, the additional input may be an input for withdrawing or confirming the selection of the specific value evaluation item, and may further include a command for instructing the user of the second user terminal to withdraw the selection of the specific value evaluation item The user can cancel the state in which the specific value evaluation item is applied on the picture information about the value evaluation object (the user of the first user terminal). In this case, the value evaluation object (the user of the first user terminal Can be transited to the state before the above application is performed.

5D and 6D, when the definite selection of the specific value evaluation item is additionally received from the user of the second user terminal, (For example, activation of a specific value evaluation item, change to a color icon, and the like) definitively applied on the photo information about the object (the user of the first user terminal) A predetermined animation effect or the like may be displayed together when the display is switched to a state in which it is definitely applied.

On the other hand, when the specific value evaluation item is definitively applied to the photograph information of the value evaluation object, as shown in FIG. 5 (e) or FIG. 6 (e) 5A to 5D and FIG. 6A to FIG. 6D are repeated to obtain the information on the other valued objects. In this case, A new value appraisal can be performed on other valuation objects. (Fig. 5 (f) and Fig. 6 (f)),

Meanwhile, as described above, the other object of valuation may be one of a user registered in the social network service or a user stored in the address book / telephone directory of the user terminal, which is not subscribed to the social network service, Or may be a specific user determined in a random manner.

Meanwhile, when the value evaluation is completed between the plurality of user terminals on the social network service according to the above process, a connection relationship may be formed on the social network service, and when the connection relation is formed, The plurality of user terminals having the relationship can browse the posts uploaded by the respective social network services among the users.
