Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for providing automatic communication of a message using a tag,

The present invention relates to a message communication technology, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for automatically responding to a message having a content set in a tag for an originating message in which a tag is identified in a content of a message.

An instant messenger service is a service server that provides message communication between a sender and a receiver. Two users become senders or receivers, and when the sender sends message A to the recipient, the service server delivers the message A of the sender to the recipient. When the receiver confirms the message A and sends A1 as a response to the sender, the service server delivers the receiver's response message A1 to the sender.

Here, if the caller and the receiver are connected to the service server, the caller and the receiver can perform real-time chatting. If either the sender or the recipient is not connected to the service server, the service server stores the message and provides the stored message when the user accesses the service server. Here, the user who sent the message has a problem that the receiver has to wait until the receiver connects to the service server and transmits a response message. If the recipient is not notified of the arrival of the message from the sender, there is a disadvantage that the sender does not know that the sender's message is stored in the service server. In addition, even if the recipient is notified of the arrival of the message, if the service server can not be connected to the service server for other reasons, there is an inconvenience to keep an eye on the message stored in the service server. That is, when the real-time communication of the message is impossible, the sender and the receiver may feel inconvenience. In particular, if the message is an important message or is promised in advance, the caller may have a complaint about the recipient, and the recipient may be responsible for the caller's complaint.

The message service can be made in an N: N relationship between the sender and the receiver. At this time, when one recipient receives a message related to the same content from N senders, the recipient inconveniently must reply to N senders with messages related to the same content.

Prior to this, terms and words used in the present specification and claims should not be construed as limited to ordinary or dictionary terms, and the inventor should appropriately interpret the concepts of the terms appropriately It should be interpreted in accordance with the meaning and concept consistent with the technical idea of the present invention based on the principle that it can be defined. Therefore, the embodiments described in the present specification and the configurations shown in the drawings are only the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all the technical ideas of the present invention. Therefore, It is to be understood that equivalents and modifications are possible.

1 is a schematic block diagram of a message system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a user terminal 110 and a user terminal 110 communicating a message and a message server 13 providing a message service to the user terminal 110 and 120. The user terminals 110 and 120 may be composed of a sender terminal 110 and a receiver terminal 120.

The user terminals 110 and 120 do not have any particular limitation as terminals for installing and executing the message applications 111 and 121 via a wired or wireless network. A computer terminal, a smart terminal, and the like correspond to the user terminals 110 and 120, respectively.

The message server 130 provides a message service to the applications 111 and 121 installed in the caller terminal 110 and the receiver terminal 120, respectively. Instant messenger service is a kind of message service.

Here, the message server 130 provides an automatic response service using the contents registered in the tag as a message content using the tag. A tag is a unique identifier, which can be a letter, a symbol, a number, and the like. The tag is required to be the identification power of tag information and unique information.

For example, the message server 130 registers contents corresponding to tags and tags from the application 121 of the recipient. Thereafter, the message server 130 receives an origination message in which a recipient is designated from the sender's application 111, and the tag of the designated recipient is the message content. When the message server 130 identifies the tag from the origination message, it automatically transmits a response message including the content of the tag registered by the recipient to the sender's application 111 instead of transmitting the origination message to the designated recipient.

Then, the recipient can register the response of the outgoing message that requires immediate response by registering the tag and the contents, and omit the procedure of repeatedly responding to the same question. In addition, the sender can immediately receive a response message previously registered by the receiver, so that the procedure for waiting until the receiver not yet connected to the message server 130 responds is excluded.

2 is a schematic configuration diagram of the message server 130 of FIG. FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are diagrams illustrating screens of a tag message service provided by the applications 111 and 121 of FIG. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to Figs. 2 to 4. Fig.

2, the message server 130 includes a tag content registration unit 211, a tag list providing unit 213, a tag message receiving unit 221, a tag content inquiry unit 223, a tag message responding unit 2225, An immediate calling unit 231, and the like.

The tag content registering unit 211 receives information on a tag and contents to be automatically responded to an originating message including a tag as contents. The tag content registration unit 211 registers a tag content registration request 211 in response to a request from the user, when an immediate response is requested to a sender of the message, when a repeated response is requested to a plurality of senders, And the content of the tag is registered.

The tag list providing unit 213 receives a request for providing a tag list including information on a user who has registered a tag, and inquires and provides a list of all tags registered as requested user information.

Referring to FIG. 3, the user requests tag registration through the applications 111 and 121. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the receiver excludes the iteration response or registers the tag via the application 121 for immediate response. When the recipient selects the tag registration in the application 121, the tag list providing unit 213 receives the receiver's ID and provides a list of all tags that are inquired with the receiver ID. The application 121 displays the tag list received from the tag list providing unit 213 on the screen. In the displayed tag list, the user can request registration, modification, and deletion of the tag through the application 121. The tag content registration unit 211 receives the request information of the user, processes the received request, and responds to the application 121 with the processing result.

In the illustrated tag information "# 20160924 ",'#' is information for identifying the tag, and may be defined by at least one symbol, letter, number, or the like. When the message server 130 identifies the tag identifier of '#' from the contents of the message, the message server 130 classifies the tag message into a tag message requiring an automatic response. "20160924" is information having a unique discriminating power. "# 20160924" becomes the inquiry key of the database as unique tag information. When the recipient selects "# 20160924" in the application 121 to request content modification, the recipient modifies the content of the tag associated with the "AA diet". The content of the tag may be various, such as work, schedule, conference, announcement as well as the exemplified menu information, and there is no particular limitation.

The tag message receiving unit 221 receives a message from the sender application 111, the message being a tag. The tag message receiving unit 221 can identify the tag message as a tag message when the received message includes a tag identifier (e.g., "#").

The tag content inquiry unit 223 inquires the contents registered in the tag using the tag of the message identified by the tag message as the inquiry key.

The tag message responding unit 225 generates a response message containing the inquired contents as the contents of the response message, and then automatically transmits the response message generated by the application 111.

4, the sender designates a receiver ID (e.g., "Hong Gil Dong") in the application 111 and transmits the contents of the message to a tag corresponding to the information requesting the entire tag registered by the receiver ") And transmits the outgoing message. The tag list providing unit 213 inquires the entire tag information of the receiver according to the tag identified from the origination message and provides the tag list to the application 111 as a tag list. The illustrated "#ALLTAG" becomes an inquiry key and the whole tag information can be inquired.

Here, the sender can select a tag from the tag list of the screen and transmit the origination message. Of course, the sender may transmit the origination message by inputting the tag information. The tag message receiving unit 221 receives the origination message and identifies the tag identifier of the received origination message. The tag content inquiry unit 223 inquires the content registered in the tag using the tag of the message whose tag identifier is confirmed as the inquiry key. The tag message responding unit 223 responds to the application 111 with an automatic response message containing the inquired content as the message content. Then, the sender confirms an automatic response message through the application 111 with the menu information of the menu registered by the recipient as the contents of the tag in Fig.

The instant caller 231 corresponds to an additional service for immediately connecting the receiver to the caller who confirmed the automatic response message. The automatic response message using the tag is advantageous in that the sender receives the contents of the tag registered in advance by the receiver in the immediate response message. However, after the sender receives the response message of the tag, it may determine that it is necessary to contact the receiver immediately. If it is a critical task, or if erroneous information can be automatically transmitted as a response message to each caller who sent the outgoing message, the caller can immediately call the caller 231 and ask the caller to contact the caller immediately.

Here, an immediate call can be handled as a unique process according to importance. The caller can send a call immediately upon requesting a message confirmation and response to the calling part 231 via the application 111. [ Then, the calling unit 231 immediately transmits an outgoing message to the recipient's message account in which the caller immediately requests the call. The application 121 of the recipient connected to the message server 130 outputs the arrival of the message in real time.

If the caller wants to call the recipient via a more urgent process than the immediate call using the message, the caller can immediately send the SMS immediate call to the caller 231. [ Then, the calling unit 231 immediately changes the outgoing message received in the call to the SMS format, and sends an SMS text message with the phone number of the mobile terminal being inquired as the recipient information as the receiver. The recipient mobile terminal then receives the paging SMS message requested by the message server 130. A recipient who is not connected to the message server 130 can immediately access the message server 130 or immediately contact the sender after receiving the SMS through the mobile communication network.

Furthermore, the message server 130 may further include a message authority. A user with a higher privilege level than the recipient who registered the tag content can modify or delete the tag content of the recipient or temporarily suspend the automatic response of the response message. A tag message is more important than a general message that does not contain a tag because it is shared information for all senders by an originating message including a tag. A user who has a higher level of authority than the receiver due to the availability of the tag message, the sharing nature, etc., has the right to modify, delete, and temporarily stop the tag information registered by the receiver for accurate information management. The message authority can receive a high-grade user who can manage the message from the recipient who has registered the tag message.

5 is a schematic flowchart of a tag registration process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The user who wants to register a tag accesses the menu of tag registration in the application 121 as a receiver. When the tag registration is selected, the message server 13 receives the tag ID (e.g., "#ALLTAG") requesting the receiver ID and the entire list from the application 121, (S501). ≪ / RTI >

When a tag inquiry is requested by an attempt to register a tag, the message server 130 provides the entire tag list inquired from the database 500 to the application 121 as an inquiry result (S503).

The message server 130 receives a request including one of registration, modification, and deletion of a tag from a recipient who has confirmed the entire registered tag through the application 121 (S511). If the requested tag of the receiver is not the pre-registered tag, the message server 130 newly registers the received tag and contents as information of the tag in the database 500 (S513). If the requested tag of the receiver is the pre-registered tag, the message server 130 updates the contents registered in the database 500 with the contents of the requested tag (S515). The message server 130 provides the processing result of the tag information management to the application 121.

6 is a schematic flowchart of a message communication process using a tag according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The user can send an outgoing message by inputting a tag or by selecting a tag from a tag list. It is assumed that the user selects a tag from the tag list.

The user designates the recipient of the message through the application 111 as a sender and issues a message requesting inquiry of the entire tag registered by the specified recipient. The message server 130 receives the message from the sender's application 111, identifies the inquiry request of the tag and the whole tag from the contents of the message, and inquires the entire tag information corresponding to the recipient ID from the database 500 S601). The message server 130 responds to the application 111 with a list of all the inquired tags.

The sender confirms the respective tag information constituting the tag list through the application 111. When the sender selects one of the tags and requests the message transmission, the message server 130 receives the origination message in which the tag is the message content, identifies the tag from the received message, 500) (step S611). The message server 130 generates a response message in which the content of the inquired tag is the message content, and automatically transmits the generated response message to the application 111 (S613).

Here, the caller who has confirmed the automatic response message of the contents registered with the tag can immediately request the call through the application 111 if necessary. Immediate calls involve message transmission and SMS conversion transmissions. In addition, a sender having a high authority level can change the content of a tag registered by the receiver or pause the automatic transmission of a response message if necessary.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. It goes without saying that various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of equivalence of the scope.
