3 is a block diagram illustrating functional elements of the processor in FIG. 2 ;

Referring to FIG. 3 , when the processor 210 is separated in terms of functions, the chat room processing unit 310, the message object processing unit 320, the unread message processing unit 330, the business object processing unit 340, the business content reminder It may include a unit 350 , a chat room discharge processing unit 360 , and a control unit 370 .

The chat room processing unit 310 may create a chat room in which at least one user participates. Here, each of the at least one user may access the chat room through the user terminal 120 . The chat room processing unit 310 provides the chat room with a message thread including an existing message object voluntarily generated by at least one user in time series. The chat room may correspond to a cyber meeting space participated by at least one user. and a message thread may be materialized in a chat room as a time-series connection set of message objects provided by at least one user. In one embodiment, the chat room processing unit 310 may include a display in the user terminal 120 A chat room can be provided through a module, and a message thread can be provided through a chat room.

The message object processing unit 320 may process a message object transmitted and received between users participating in a chat room. Here, the message object is an entity including a message generated by a user, and the message necessarily means only text. Instead of doing so, it may include a complex entity composed of at least one of text, voice, photo, video, or business object. The message object processing unit 320 receives an unspecified or designated message object from one of at least one user. and can be additionally inserted into the message thread. The non-specified message object may include a message object that does not designate a specific user, and the designated message object may include a message object that designates a specific user. For example, a message object The processing unit 320 sends a message object including the message “Please perform business evaluation” by designating [User B] by [User A] through the chat room, and sends the designated message object [User B] to the message thread. can be added to, and allow [user B] to distinguish the designated message object. In one embodiment, the message object processing unit 320 may be configured to provide the designated user with the arrival of the message object in real time when the designated message object is received. can inform

The unread message processing unit 330 counts the number of unread designated message objects by detecting whether the designated user has read the designated message object in the message thread. The message thread includes five designated messages designated by [user A]. objects and 3 designated message objects that designate [user B]. For example, [user A] has read 1 designated message object out of 5 designated message objects and has designated [user B] It can be assumed that two of the three designated message objects have been read. Also, [user B] has read two designated message objects out of the five designated message objects that have designated [user A], and [user B] has read [user A]. It can be assumed that one of the three designated message objects designated [B] is read. The unread message processing unit 330 counts the number of unread designated message objects as 4 from the perspective of [user A]. and the number of unread designated message objects may be counted as 2 from the perspective of [User B]. The unread message processing unit 330 may provide the number of unread designated message objects to the designated user. For example, the unread message processing unit 330 may provide the number of unread specified message objects to [user A] as 4, and may provide the number of unread specified message objects to [user B] as 2. That is, the unread message processing unit 330 may provide the number of unread designated message objects for each designated user.

Also, the unread message processing unit 330 may calculate the number of unread unspecified message objects that are not read by at least one user (ie, all users participating in the chat room) in the message thread. The message thread may include 5 designated message objects and 3 non-specified message objects that designate [user A]. For example, [user A] reads one designated message object among five designated message objects, and reads one unspecified message object among three non-designated message objects, the unread message processing unit 330 [ From the perspective of user A], the number of unread designated message objects 4 and the number of unread unspecified message objects 2 may be provided to [user A], respectively. That is, the unread message processing unit 330 may calculate and provide the number of unread designated message objects and the number of unread unspecified message objects to the corresponding user, respectively.

The unread message processing unit 330 may provide the number of unread users for the unspecified message object in the message thread. The message thread may include two non-specified message objects, and the number of users (ie, chat room participants) participating in the chat room may correspond to 10. For example, if 4 chat room participants out of 10 chat room participants read the first unspecified message object, the unread message processing unit 330 may provide the number of unread users 6 for the first unspecified message object, and 10 When two chat room participants among the chat room participants read the second unspecified message object, the unread message processing unit 330 may provide the number of unread users 8 for the second unspecified message object. That is, the unread message processing unit 330 may calculate and provide the number of unread users for each unspecified message object.

On the other hand, the unread message processing unit 330 may perform processing for reading of the designated message object and the unspecified message object as follows.

In the case of reading the designated message object, the unread message processing unit 330 may read the designated message object by providing a user reaction (user input such as a click or touch) to the designated message object in the chat room. That is, the unread message processing unit 330 may process the designated message object as read when a user response of the corresponding user is input to the designated message object, and may subtract the number of unread designated message objects.

In the case of reading of the unspecified message object, the unread message processing unit 330 may consider that the user has read the unspecified message objects in the corresponding message thread when an arbitrary user participates in the chat room. That is, the unread message processing unit 330 ) can be treated as read regardless of the user's reaction about unspecified message objects, and the number of unread unspecified message objects can be subtracted.

As a result, the unread message processing unit 330 may count and calculate the number of unspecified message objects and the number of designated message objects, respectively, in different ways, as described above.

The business object processing unit 340 may add a business object for the user to instruct a specific user to process the business as a designated message object to the message thread, and process the business object among the designated message objects. Here, the task object corresponds to an independent message object used for business processing in the chat room, and may include a task creator, a task processor, a task deadline, task content, and task status. may correspond to a task indicator that can be assigned, and the task processor may correspond to a task performer designated by the task creator. The task deadline may correspond to a deadline of a task designated by the task creator, and if necessary, It may be changed according to the voluntary change of the task creator or the change request of the task processor. The task content may include simple text or a separate document that may be instructed by the task creator. The task status is the status of the progress of the task, and is updated by the task creator or the task processor, and is an unconfirmed state, pre-progress state, progressing state, post-progress state, evaluation ( It may correspond to an evaluating state, a completed state, or an overdue state.

The business object processing unit 340 detects whether the specified message object in the message thread corresponds to the business object. In one embodiment, the business object processing unit 340 may extract the business object from the message thread according to the request of the business processor and provide it to the chat room.

The business object processing unit 340 may process the business object through a designated message processor. The designated message processor may mean a process performed in the background, performed by a task creator or a task processor, or a specific event (eg, Alarm according to the work schedule). The work object processing unit 340 may update the work status according to a pre-defined work processing flow through the designated message processor, and may change the designated user according to the updated work status. .

For example, the designated message handler may detect that [processor B] receives <task object P> and set the task status to [unconfirmed], and [processor B] acknowledges <task object P>. can be detected and changed from [Unconfirmed Status] to [Pre-Progress Status]. The designated message handler detects that [Business Processor B] proceeds with <Business Object P>, and sets [Pre-Progress Status] to [Progress Status]. can change, [task processor B] detects that <task object P> is completed, changes [in progress] to [in progress], and changes the designated user from [task processor B] to [task creator A] The designated message handler may detect that [to-do constructor A] evaluates <task object P> and change [in progress status] to [complete status].

The work object processing unit 340 predicts (before passing the work deadline) or detects (after passing the work deadline) that [task processor B] exceeds the work deadline of <task object P>, and generates a work deadline event as a specific event For example, a designated message handler may receive a business deadline event, and notify [processor B] of the business deadline to prompt [processor B] to process the task for <task object P>. When the completion status is received from the [task processor B], the task object processing unit 340 requests the [task creator A] to evaluate the task contents as a designated message and changes the task state to the evaluation state. The task object processing unit ( 340), when the task status is changed to the evaluation state, the designated user can be changed from [task processor B] to [task creator A], and [task creator A] can record the task evaluation in <task object P>. .In addition, the work object processing unit 340 may track the work status of the <task object P> and finally receive the evaluation of the <task object P> from the [task creator A] as a work rating.

The task content reminder unit 350 may generate a task deadline event as a specific event according to the task deadline in the task object. In one embodiment, the task content reminder unit 350 periodically updates the task deadline in the task object. can be checked, and when the work deadline is imminent, a work deadline event can be generated. In the work content reminder unit 350, the imminence of the work deadline may be defined according to a user's setting, for example, by default, the work due date. may be set one week before the deadline for work.

The task content reminder unit 350 may wake up the designated message handler through the task deadline event, and the designated message processor may remind the task handler of the task content.

The task content reminder unit 350 may generate a reminder message in the reminder process. Here, the reminder message may correspond to a designated message object designated by the user, and when a change of the business processor occurs according to the business status of the business object, it may be transmitted to the business processor at the time of the reminder. For example, if the task processor of <task object P> is changed from [task processor A] to [task processor B], the task content reminder unit 350 transmits a reminder message to [task processor B] as a designated message object can do. In addition, the task content reminder unit 350 may transmit a reminder message to the [task processor B] as a designated message object for the task content of the <task object P>.

The task content reminder unit 350 may provide a task creator, at least a part of the task content, and a task deadline date to the task processor through the reminder message.

The task content reminder unit 350 may detect an overdue of the task deadline, and if the task deadline is exceeded, the task content may be continuously provided as a push notification to the task processor. In one embodiment, The task content reminder unit 350 may provide a push notification regardless of access to the chat room by the task processor.

The chat room badge processing unit 360 may provide the number of unread message objects with respect to the designated message object in the message thread as badges of the chat room to the designated user. Here, the badge of the chat room may be implemented as an icon 545 in the chat room list before participating in the chat room as shown in FIG. 5 , and the icon 545 may include the number of unread message objects.

Also, the chat room badge processing unit 360 may simultaneously provide the number of designated message objects and the number of unspecified message objects for the corresponding designated user in the message thread as badges of the chat room. The message thread may include 5 designated message objects and 3 non-specified message objects that designate [user A]. For example, when [user A] reads one designated message object among five designated message objects, and one unspecified message object among three unspecified message objects, the chat room badge processing unit 360 does not read The number of designated message objects of 4 and the number of unread unspecified message objects of 2 may be provided to [user A] as badges of the chat room, respectively. That is, the chat room badge processing unit 360 may calculate the number of unread designated message objects and the number of unread unspecified message objects to the corresponding user, respectively, and provide them as badges of the chat room at the same time.

The chat room badge processing unit 360 may provide the number of unread designated message objects with respect to the designated message object in the message thread as a badge of the chat room, and the number of unread designated message objects that have designated itself as the badge of the chat room provided so that the designated user can more easily check the existence of the unread designated message object.

For example, the number of chat room participants is 5, the number of designated message objects is 10, the number of designated message objects with [Designated User A] is 3, the number of designated message objects with [Designated User B] is 5 If the [designated user A] reads two designated message objects, the chat room badge processing unit 360 may provide the number of its unread message objects as 1 to the chat room layout.

The chat room badge processing unit 360 may provide the designated user with the number of unread users regarding the designated message object in the message thread and the number of their own unread message objects as chat room badges.

The control unit 370 controls the overall operation of the processor 210 , the chat room processing unit 310 , the message object processing unit 320 , the unread message processing unit 330 , the business object processing unit 340 , and the business content reminder unit 350 . ), a control flow or data flow between the chat room badge processing unit 360 .

For example, the chat room processing unit 310 may [ [Message object M] created by [User A] can be added to the message thread of [Chat Room X] joined by [User A] in time series.

The message object processing unit 320 may receive an unspecified or designated message object from one of at least one user and additionally insert it into the message thread (step S450).

For example, the message object processing unit 320 may additionally insert the [designated message object M] received from [user A] into the message thread of [chat room X].

The unread message processing unit 330 may count the number of unread designated message objects by detecting whether the designated user has read the designated message object in the message thread (step S470). For example, [Chat room X The message thread of ] may include [designated message object M] designating [designated user A], and the unread message processing unit 330 allows [designated user A] to respond to [designated message object M] by a user reaction (click or It can be detected whether or not a user input such as touch) is provided, and if so, it can be determined that the [designated user A] has read the [designated message object M]. ] is read, the number of unread specified message objects can be deducted by one.

The chat room-based message object processing apparatus 110 may provide the number of unread designated message objects to the designated user through the unread message processing unit 360 (step S490). For example, [Chat Room X] is Assuming that [designated user A] includes five designated message objects and that [designated user A] reads one designated message, the unread message processing unit 360 sends the unread message object to [designated user A]. The number can be given as 4.

In FIG. 7 , the work object interface 700 for each work status indicates a work object for each work status, and may be created to provide a work object given to a designated user for each work status to help the designated user with work convenience.

The work progress control 710 classifies work objects by work status, and may include, for example, scheduled, in progress, past, and confirmation.

The business progress control 710 may provide visually distinguishable number of unread designated message objects and the number of unread unspecified message objects around the business status (eg, scheduled, ongoing, past, confirmed), and the user A corresponding message object may be separately provided by receiving an input (eg, click or touch). For example, when the number of unread specified message objects [2] among the business status [in progress] is selected through user input, the business progress control 710 is a separate user interface or a user interface at the bottom of the business status You can provide two unread specific message objects to .

The task object control 730 may be arranged in accordance with the task state distinguished in the lower part of the task progress control 710 . The task object control 730 may summarize an indicator 731 indicating whether a task due date is approaching or passing, an indicator 733 indicating a task creator, and an indicator 735 indicating a task due date, For example, by receiving a user input, the work object may be provided in detail as a separate user interface.

8 is a diagram for explaining message transmission performed in the chat room-based message object processing apparatus of FIG. 1 .

Referring to FIG. 8 , the message transmission interface 800 includes a custom control 810 , a message editing control 820 , and a message transmission control 830 .

The custom control 810 may be used to designate a designated user, and receives a command (for example, a special character [@]) for designating a designated user through a message object constructor (for example, user A). The chat room participants currently participating in the chat room are provided as a list so that they can be selected by the message object creator. In an embodiment, the custom control 810 may designate a plurality of designated users by sequentially inputting a special character [@].
