As another example, the font selection unit 310 may recommend at least one font sticker based on the content or context of the input text. If the text entered by the user contains honorific expressions, it is possible to recommend a monospace type with the same width of all characters, or a font classified as a serif type with a punctuation at the end of the character. If included, fonts classified as cursive or fantasy styles can be recommended. As another example, the font selection unit 310 may recommend at least one font sticker based on a background or theme set in a chat room of a messenger. For example, it is possible to recommend font stickers based on the background or theme category (nature, people, food, etc.) set in the chat room of the messenger, and if the text in the background or theme is included, the font of the text in the background or theme Fonts in a style similar to or contrasting with can be recommended. As another example, the font selection unit 310 may display a selection history (popularity) or preference by at least one of a user of the electronic device 110, another user with a relationship with the user (ie, a messenger friend), and all users of the messenger. At least one font sticker can be recommended as a basis. It is also possible to recommend font stickers through a combination of two or more of the above-described selection methods.

In step S420, the preview providing unit 320 may provide a preview in which the recommended font is applied to at least a part of the text input by the user of the electronic device 110. For example, the preview providing unit 320 may provide a preview in which a recommended font is applied to at least a part of text input through an input window of a chat room by a user of the electronic device 110. The preview providing unit 320 may apply each recommended font to at least a part of the input text to provide a preview list of the recommended fonts. As an example, the preview providing unit 320 applies the recommended font to the first word of the input text or some text (for example, the first 5 characters of the input text) having a predetermined length extracted from the input text. Thus, the first preview list is provided, and when the user selects a specific font from the first preview list, the second preview may be provided by applying all of the input text as the selected font. In this case, the preview providing unit 320 may process the first preview and the second preview in a single step based on the length of the input text. For example, if the length of the input text is less than a predetermined length, the recommended font preview for all of the input text is not provided, and the recommended font preview for all the input text is provided. If the length is longer than a certain length, a first preview for some of the input text and a second preview for all of the input text may be provided in stages. As another example, if the length of the input text is more than a predetermined length, a first preview of the text corresponding to the first length among the input text and a second length that is longer than the first length among the input text.

As another example, the preview providing unit 320 may recommend a general sticker including a specific font having a high popularity according to a selection history by a user of the electronic device 110 or a high preference by other users together with a recommended font preview. I can.

In step S430, when a specific font is selected from among the fonts displayed through the preview from the user of the electronic device 110, the message transmitting/receiving unit 330 converts the text to which the selected specific font is applied into an image, It may be transmitted to the electronic device 120. The message transmitting/receiving unit 330 may convert text to which a specific font is applied into an image (hereinafter, referred to as “text image”) and transmit the text image as a message to the conversation partner. In this case, the text image may be processed as a text image type, which is a separate message type. Accordingly, the receiving side can check the text message applied with the same font as the sending side.

In step S440, the message display unit 340 may display a text image exchanged between users included in the chat room as a text image type in the corresponding chat room. When a chat message to which a font sticker is applied is transmitted/received through a chat room of a messenger, the message display unit 340 may display a text image as a text image type in the chat room.

In this way, the text to which the font sticker is applied is converted into an image and transmitted, so that even when the receiving side does not have the font sticker, the message reflecting the desired font can be transmitted to the receiving side. In addition, when transmitting as a text image, data transmission efficiency between the transmitting and receiving sides is relatively good, and the conversation message can be processed quickly and reflected in the chat room.

A text image type message exchanged through a chat room may be an image type message, and for each text image type message, information on the font and/or text format applied to the text corresponding to the text image may be further managed. . For example, metadata about a font sticker applied to text for a text image type message may be included, and information on a corresponding font sticker can be checked at the transmitting/receiving side through this metadata. For example, when selecting a text image displayed in a chat room, the message display unit 340 may move to a service page for downloading a font sticker applied to the text.

In addition, the text image may include metadata about the text as well as metadata about the font sticker. Accordingly, text editing such as extracting, copying, and translating the text of the text image is possible according to the input to the text image. In addition, when the image contains a text image, information on which text is present at which coordinate value on the image can be included in the text image, and the text included in the image can be edited in the same font at the sending and receiving side using this. can do. When a text image displayed in a chat room is selected, the message display unit 340 may provide an editing function capable of modifying at least a part of text included in the image.
