However, the above-described components are not essential in configuring the user interface screen 40, so the user interface screen 40 may have more or fewer components than the components listed above.

Here, the location where the second speech bubble 42 included in the user interface screen 40 is displayed may be determined according to information about the virtual location 45 of another character. Additionally, an emoticon 44 of another character may be placed on the second speech bubble 42.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method for determining the motion of a character image according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the character image included in the user interface screen may be a variable image. Specifically, the character image may change according to motion information of the character image determined based on a specific emotion related to the first line of the character image.

Here, the motion information may be information that is mapped to a specific emotion among information about the motion of a character mapped to each of a plurality of emotions included in the motion table.

Specifically, the specific emotion may be determined based on whether at least one specific keyword or specific punctuation mark is included in the plurality of first texts related to the first line.

More specifically, a specific emotion may be determined using a plurality of first texts and an emotion table pre-stored in the memory 130. Additionally, the emotion table may include information about the emotions mapped to each of a plurality of keywords and a plurality of punctuation marks. In this case, a specific emotion may be extracted by searching the emotion table for the emotion mapped to each of at least one keyword and at least one punctuation mark included in the plurality of first texts.

Meanwhile, when a plurality of emotions are extracted through an emotion table, a specific emotion may be determined as the most extracted emotion among the plurality of emotions.

Below, an example in which a specific emotion is determined will be described with reference to FIG. 7 .

For example, referring to FIG. 7, when the plurality of first texts 51-1 are “Oh, it’s really funny hahaha,” the processor 110 of the server 100 sends the plurality of first texts 51-1 In , specific keywords (52-1) included in the emotion table, such as “funny” and “hahaha,” can be recognized. Additionally, the processor 110 may search the specific keyword 52-1 in the emotion table and extract a specific emotion. Additionally, the processor 110 may change the character image 54-1 using the motion information 53-1 (eg, smiling motion) mapped to the extracted specific emotion.

As another example, when the plurality of first texts 51-2 are “Are you really there???”, the processor 110 of the server 100 performs an emotion analysis on the plurality of first texts 51-2. The specific keyword (52-2) “???” included in the table can be recognized. Additionally, the processor 110 may search the specific keyword 52-2 in the emotion table and extract a specific emotion. Additionally, the processor 110 may change the character image 54-2 using the motion information 53-2 (eg, a curious motion) mapped to the extracted specific emotion.

As another example, when the plurality of first texts 51-3 are “..okay...”, the processor 110 of the server 100 performs an appraisal in the plurality of first texts 51-3. The specific keywords (52-3) “..” and “...” included in the table can be recognized. Additionally, the processor 110 may search the specific keyword 52-3 in the emotion table and extract a specific emotion. Additionally, the processor 110 may change the character image 54-3 using the motion information 53-3 (eg, a worrying motion) mapped to the extracted specific emotion.

As another example, if the plurality of first texts 51-4 are “Don’t do it!”, the processor 110 of the server 100 may use the message included in the emotion table in the plurality of first texts 51-4. Specific keywords (52-4) such as “don’t” and “!” can be recognized. Additionally, the processor 110 may search the specific keyword 52-4 in the emotion table and extract a specific emotion. Additionally, the processor 110 may change the character image 54-4 using the motion information 53-4 (eg, an angry motion) mapped to the extracted specific emotion.

Accordingly, the server 100 of the present disclosure can improve the productivity of content creation by allowing content creators to save time used to determine the motion of a character image.

According to some additional embodiments of the present disclosure, the processor 110 of the server 100 inputs the first line into a pre-trained emotion analysis model and recognizes a specific emotion using the result data output by the emotion analysis model. can do.

Specifically, when the processor 110 obtains the first line of a character image, it may recognize a plurality of first texts related to the first line. Additionally, the processor 110 may input the plurality of first texts into an emotion analysis model to recognize specific emotions corresponding to the plurality of first texts.

Here, the emotion analysis model is to be learned using a learning data set including training data generated by labeling learning emotion data related to the first line to training text data related to the first line in the learning process of the sentiment analysis model. You can. Additionally, the emotion analysis model may be composed of a deep neural network (DNN).

That is, the processor 110 of the server 100 may generate learning data by labeling training text data related to the first line with learning emotion data related to the first line. Additionally, the processor 110 may train a deep neural network using training data to create an emotion analysis model. Additionally, the processor 110 may input the plurality of first texts into an emotion analysis model to obtain information about emotions corresponding to the plurality of first texts. However, it is not limited to this.

A deep neural network may refer to a neural network that includes multiple hidden layers in addition to the input layer and output layer. Deep neural networks allow you to identify latent structures in data. In other words, it is possible to identify the potential structure of a photo, text, video, voice, or music (e.g., what object is in the photo, what the content and emotion of the text are, what the content and emotion of the voice are, etc.) . Deep neural networks include convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), auto encoders, generative adversarial networks (GAN), and restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs). boltzmann machine), deep belief network (DBN), Q network, U network, Siamese network, etc. The description of the deep neural network described above is only an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the network function may include an autoencoder. An autoencoder may be a type of artificial neural network to output output data similar to input data. The autoencoder may include at least one hidden layer, and an odd number of hidden layers may be placed between input and output layers. The number of nodes in each layer may be reduced from the number of nodes in the input layer to an intermediate layer called the bottleneck layer (encoding), and then expanded symmetrically and reduced from the bottleneck layer to the output layer (symmetrical to the input layer). In this case, in the example of FIG. 2, the dimension reduction layer and the dimension restoration layer are shown as being symmetrical, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the nodes of the dimension reduction layer and the dimension restoration layer may or may not be symmetrical. Autoencoders can perform nonlinear dimensionality reduction. The number of input layers and output layers may correspond to the number of sensors remaining after preprocessing of the input data. In an auto-encoder structure, the number of nodes in the hidden layer included in the encoder may have a structure that decreases as the distance from the input layer increases. If the number of nodes in the bottleneck layer (the layer with the fewest nodes located between the encoder and decoder) is too small, not enough information may be conveyed, so if it is higher than a certain number (e.g., more than half of the input layers, etc.) ) may be maintained. A neural network may be trained in at least one of supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and semi-supervised learning. Learning of a neural network is intended to minimize errors in output. In neural network learning, learning data is repeatedly input into the neural network, the output of the neural network and the error of the target for the learning data are calculated, and the error of the neural network is transferred from the output layer of the neural network to the input layer in the direction of reducing the error. This is the process of updating the weight of each node in the neural network through backpropagation. In the case of teacher learning, learning data in which the correct answer is labeled in each learning data is used (i.e., labeled learning data), and in the case of non-teacher learning, the correct answer may not be labeled in each learning data. That is, for example, in the case of teacher learning regarding data classification, the learning data may be data in which each learning data is labeled with a category. Labeled training data is input to the neural network, and the error can be calculated by comparing the output (category) of the neural network with the label of the training data. As another example, in the case of non-teachable learning for data classification, the error can be calculated by comparing the input training data with the neural network output. The calculated error is backpropagated in the reverse direction (i.e., from the output layer to the input layer) in the neural network, and the connection weight of each node in each layer of the neural network can be updated according to backpropagation. The amount of change in the connection weight of each updated node may be determined according to the learning rate. The neural network's calculation of input data and backpropagation of errors can constitute a learning cycle (epoch). The learning rate may be applied differently depending on the number of repetitions of the learning cycle of the neural network. For example, in the early stages of neural network training, a high learning rate can be used to increase efficiency by allowing the neural network to quickly achieve a certain level of performance, and in the later stages of training, a low learning rate can be used to increase accuracy.

In the learning of neural networks, the training data can generally be a subset of real data (i.e., the data to be processed using the learned neural network), and thus the error for the training data is reduced, but the error for the real data is reduced. There may be an incremental learning cycle. Overfitting is a phenomenon in which errors in actual data increase due to excessive learning on training data. For example, a phenomenon in which a neural network that learned a cat by showing a yellow cat fails to recognize that it is a cat when it sees a non-yellow cat may be a type of overfitting. Overfitting can cause errors in machine learning algorithms to increase. To prevent such overfitting, various optimization methods can be used. To prevent overfitting, methods such as increasing the learning data, regularization, or dropout, which omits some of the network nodes during the learning process, can be applied.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method by which a server transmits a user-customized conversation set to a user terminal according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the processor 110 of the server 100 may receive condition information from the user terminal 200 through the communication unit 120. Here, the condition information may be information for determining a dialogue set related to the dialogue of the character image. In addition, the server 100 can receive the condition information when the interactive game application is running on the user terminal 200. For example, the condition information includes at least one of first condition information related to time or date, second condition information related to the location (or movement) of the user terminal, and third condition information related to execution of the interactive game application. can do. For a detailed example, the first condition information may include information about time. The second condition information may include information about the current location. The third condition information may include information about game access time. However, it is not limited to this.

The processor 110 of the server 100 may obtain the first conversation set based on the condition information received from the user terminal 200 (S110). Here, the first conversation set may refer to data generated based on condition information and log data generated by executing an interactive game application in the past on the user terminal 200. However, it is not limited to this.

Specifically, the processor 110 may use condition information to recognize whether a specific condition is satisfied among a plurality of preset conditions. When the processor 110 recognizes that the specific condition is satisfied using the condition information, the processor 110 may obtain a first dialogue set corresponding to the specific condition from among a plurality of dialogue sets pre-stored in the memory 130.

For example, when the condition information is first condition information related to time or date, the processor 110 of the server 100 uses the first condition information to determine whether a specific condition related to a specific time or date is satisfied. It can be recognized. And, when the processor 110 recognizes that the specific condition is satisfied, it can obtain a first conversation set related to a specific time or a specific date. In this case, the first conversation set may include sentences related to at least one of a specific time or a specific date. For example, the first conversation set may include sentences such as “Good morning!” related to a specific time. However, it is not limited to this.

As another example, if the condition information is second condition information related to the location of the user terminal 200, the processor 110 of the server 100 receives the location information of the user terminal 200 from the user terminal 200. It can be obtained. Additionally, the processor 110 may recognize whether the user terminal 200 is moving based on location information. Also, when the processor 110 recognizes that the user terminal 200 is moving, it can obtain a first conversation set related to the location movement. In this case, the first conversation set may include sentences related to location movement. For example, the first conversation set may include sentences related to location movement, such as “Are you walking?, How is the weather?” However, it is not limited to this.

As another example, the processor 110 of the server 100 obtains location information of the user terminal 200 from the user terminal 200 when the condition information is second condition information related to the location of the user terminal 200. can do. Additionally, the processor 110 may recognize whether the current location of the user terminal 200 matches a specific location included in the log data, based on the location information. When the processor 110 recognizes that the current location of the user terminal 200 matches the first location included in the log data or the second location pre-stored in the memory 130, the processor 110 generates a second location related to the first location or the second location. 1 You can obtain a conversation set. In this case, the first conversation set may include sentences related to the first location or the second location. For example, the first conversation set may include sentences such as “Are you looking at the sea?” related to a specific location. However, it is not limited to this.

As another example, when the condition information is third condition information related to execution of an interactive game application, the processor 110 of the server 100 uses the third condition information to recognize the account linked to the user terminal. can do. Additionally, the processor 110 may recognize log data of an account linked to the user terminal 200. Here, log data of the account linked to the user terminal 200 may be stored in the memory 130 of the server 100.

Meanwhile, the processor 110 can use log data to recognize whether specific conditions related to the game progress are satisfied. Additionally, when the processor 110 recognizes that a specific condition related to the game progress state is satisfied, it can obtain a first dialogue set corresponding to the game progress state. In this case, the first dialogue set may include sentences related to the game progress status.

For example, the processor 110 may recognize the last access time using account log data. Additionally, the processor 110 may recognize the non-connection time by comparing the last connection time and the current time. Additionally, the processor 110 may recognize that a specific condition related to the game progress state is satisfied when the non-connection time is longer than a preset time. In this case, the first conversation set may include sentences such as “It’s been a while!” However, it is not limited to this.

For another example, the processor 110 may recognize the number of conversations using account log data. Additionally, the processor 110 may recognize that a specific condition related to the game progress state is satisfied when the number of conversations is more than a preset number. In this case, the first conversation set may include sentences such as "We're getting closer now." However, it is not limited to this.

Meanwhile, when the processor 110 obtains the first conversation set, it can control the communication unit 120 to transmit the first conversation set to the user terminal 200 (S120). In this case, the user terminal 200 that has received the first dialogue set can output a specific character and the first dialogue set in the interactive game application.

Additionally, the processor 110 may generate a conversation set 70 by inserting the extracted keyword 61 into the keyword insertion position 71 of “Night snacks are XX, right?”, which is a sentence formed according to specific conditions.

In other words, the processor 110 of the server 100 asks, “Chicken is the midnight snack, right?” Alternatively, you can create a conversation set that includes the sentence “Pizza is a late-night snack, right?”

Accordingly, the server 100 of the present disclosure can increase the user's immersion in the interactive game through a dialogue set generated based on log data, which is a record of the game played by the user. Additionally, the server 100 can increase the user's entertainment factor through a conversation set generated based on log data, which is a record of games played by the user.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method by which a server links an interactive game application and a chat application according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the processor 110 of the server 100 may link an interactive game application and a chat application to provide the interactive game to the user.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 11 , the processor 110 of the server 100 may recognize whether the interactive game application has ended in the user terminal 200. Meanwhile, when the processor 110 recognizes that the interactive game application has been terminated in the user terminal 200, the processor 110 may obtain first log data generated in the interactive game up to the termination point (S210). Additionally, the processor 110 may generate a message based on the first log data (S220).

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the processor 110 of the server 100 may recognize whether the interactive game application has been re-executed on the user terminal 200. Meanwhile, when the processor 110 recognizes that the interactive game application has been re-executed in the user terminal 200, it can obtain second log data generated up to the time of the re-execution in the chat application (S240). Additionally, the processor 110 may generate a second conversation set based on the second log data. Additionally, the processor 110 may control the communication unit 120 to transmit the second conversation set to the user terminal 200 (S260). In this case, the user terminal 200 may output the specific character and the second dialogue set in the interactive game application.

Additionally, the server 100 can provide an uninterrupted conversation function by linking an interactive game application and a chat application.

Accordingly, the server 100 of the present disclosure can continuously maintain the character image of the interactive game and the conversation between users, thereby increasing user immersion.

In the following description, methods and embodiments of how a processor of a computing device performs the technical features of the present disclosure are described. Here, the processor of the computing device may be the processor 110 of the server 100 or the processor 210 of the user terminal 200.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a processor of a computing device (eg, a user terminal) may output a first message generated through a character account corresponding to a character of an interactive game application on a chat application.

For example, when the processor 110 of the server 100 recognizes that the chat application has ended, it may create a character account corresponding to the character of the interactive game application. When a character account is created, the processor 110 may generate the first message through the character account. In addition, the processor 110 may transmit the first message generated through the character account to the user terminal 200 so that the first message is output from the user terminal 200. In this case, the user terminal 200 may output the first message received from the server 100 on the chat application.

As another example, when the processor 210 of the user terminal 200 recognizes that the chat application has ended, it may run the interactive game application in the background to create a character account corresponding to the character of the interactive game application. When a character account is created, the processor 210 may generate a first message through the character account using an interactive game application running in the background. Also, when the first message is generated, the processor 210 may output the first message through the chat application.

Here, a character account may be created on a chat application by the computing device's processor when a user signs up for an interactive game. Additionally, the character account may be added to the user account's friend list on the chat application when an event related to the character occurs on the game application.

For example, a character account is added to the friend list of the user account when the user exchanges numbers with a game character in an interactive game application (i.e., when a conversation related to exchanging numbers occurs while playing an interactive game application). It can be. As another example, a character account may be added to the user account's friends list when the user first encounters the game character in the interactive game application (i.e., the first time the character appears on the interactive game application). However, it is not limited to this.

Additionally, when a character account is created on a chat application, the character account can request to add a friend to the user account. Additionally, if the user account allows adding a friend in response to a friend addition request, the character account may be added to the friend list of the user account.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the chat application is executed after the interactive game application is terminated, the first message is based on the first log data generated in the interactive game application up to the time the interactive game application is terminated. It may be a message created by doing so.

For example, when the server 100 generates the first message, the processor 110 of the server 100 may generate the first message using the first log data. Additionally, the processor 110 may transmit the first message to the user terminal 200 so that the first message is output on a chat application installed in the user terminal 200. In this case, the user terminal 200 may output the first message received from the server 100 on the chat application. That is, the first message of the present disclosure may be a message generated and received from an external server (here, server 100) related to the game application. However, it is not limited to this.

As another example, when the user terminal 200 generates the first message, the processor 210 of the user terminal 200 may generate the first message using the first log data. And, the processor 210 can output the first message on the chat application.

Hereinafter, a description of the method for the processor of the computing device to generate a conversation set using log data has been described in detail with reference to FIG. 8, and a more detailed description will be omitted.

Additionally, when the chat application is terminated and the interactive game application is executed, a message generated based on at least one of the first message, the second message, and the reaction may be output on the interactive game application.

In other words, the user can continue the conversation they had with the character of the interactive game through the chat application in the interactive game application. Accordingly, the computing device of the present disclosure can continuously maintain a conversation between a character of an interactive game and a user, thereby maintaining the user's immersion in the game.

According to some other embodiments of the present disclosure, when a specific condition among a plurality of preset conditions is satisfied, the first message may include a specific conversation set corresponding to the specific condition.

For example, the processor 110 of the server 100 may receive condition information from the user terminal 200. The processor 110 may recognize whether a condition included in the received condition information satisfies a specific condition among a plurality of preset conditions. When a specific condition among a plurality of preset conditions is satisfied, the processor 110 may recognize a specific conversation set corresponding to the specific condition. The processor 110 may transmit a first message including a specific conversation set to the user terminal 200. In this case, the user terminal 200 may output the first message received from the server 100 on the chat application. That is, the first message of the present disclosure may be a message generated and received from an external server (here, server 100) related to the game application. However, it is not limited to this.

As another example, the processor 210 of the user terminal 200 may recognize condition information of the user terminal 200. The processor 210 may use the condition information to recognize whether a specific condition among a plurality of preset conditions is satisfied. And, when a specific condition among a plurality of preset conditions is satisfied, the processor 210 may output a first message including a specific conversation set corresponding to the specific condition on the chat application.

Hereinafter, a description of the method for the processor of the computing device to generate a conversation set using condition information has been described in detail with reference to FIG. 8, and a more detailed description will be omitted.

According to some other embodiments of the present disclosure, the first message may be a message generated through an interactive game application running in the background when a chat application is running.

For example, when an interactive game application is executed on the user terminal 200 under the control of the server 100, the processor 110 of the server 100 sends the first message to the user terminal 200 through the interactive game application. ) can be transmitted. In this case, the user terminal 200 may output the first message obtained through the interactive game application on the chat application. That is, the first message of the present disclosure may be a message generated by an external server related to an interactive game application and transmitted to the user terminal 200. However, it is not limited to this.

As another example, when the interactive game application is executed on the user terminal 200, the processor 210 of the user terminal 200 may obtain the first message from the interactive game application. Additionally, the processor 210 may output the first message obtained from the interactive game application on the chat application.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a processor of a computing device (e.g., a user terminal) obtains a second message in response to the first message from a user account corresponding to a user playing an interactive game on a chat application. If so, a reaction determined based on the second message may be performed.

Here, the second message may be output on the chat application along with information indicating whether the character has confirmed the second message.

And, the reaction is a first reaction that outputs a response message to the second message, and a second reaction or response message that expresses that the character did not confirm the second message through information indicating whether the message was confirmed without outputting a response message. It may include at least one of the third reactions expressing that the character has confirmed the second message through information indicating whether the message has been confirmed without output. Here, the chat application may be an application that provides a read receipt function that informs whether the chatting partner has read the message.

Specifically, the reaction may be determined based on whether a first keyword with a positive meaning mapped to the first message or a second keyword with a negative meaning mapped to the first message is included in the second message. .

For example, the processor 110 of the server 100 may receive a second message from the user terminal 200. The processor 110 may recognize whether the second message includes at least one of the first keyword or the second keyword. The processor 110 may determine a reaction based on whether at least one of the first keyword or the second keyword is included. Additionally, the processor 110 may transmit a reaction control signal to the user terminal 200 so that the user terminal 200 performs the determined reaction.

As another example, the processor 210 of the user terminal 200 may obtain a second message from a chatting application. The processor 210 may determine a reaction based on whether the second message includes at least one of the first keyword or the second keyword.

For example, when the second message includes a first keyword, the processor 210 of the user terminal 200 may determine the reaction to the second message as the first reaction. Meanwhile, when the second message includes both the first keyword and the second keyword, the processor 210 may determine the reaction to the second message as the second reaction. On the other hand, when the second message includes the second keyword, the processor 210 may determine the reaction to the second message as the third reaction. However, it is not limited to this.

Therefore, unlike existing chatbots that unconditionally send responses to messages, whether or not a reply or read is determined depending on the message sent by the user, giving the user the feeling of exchanging messages with a real person. You can.

As described above, when an interactive game user converses with a character of an interactive game through a chat application, the computing device of the present disclosure can provide the user with a conversation function similar to conversation with a real person. Accordingly, the computing device can increase the user's immersion in the interactive game.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the first reaction is performed in the user terminal 200, the response message is sent after a preset time has elapsed from the time the second message is obtained or the time it is indicated that the second message has been read. can be printed.

Here, the preset time may be a time determined based on the number of texts constituting the response message. However, the time is not limited to this, and the time set in advance by the administrator may be pre-stored in the memory of the computing device.

For example, the processor 110 of the server 100 may generate a response message and determine the waiting time using the number of texts constituting the response message. Additionally, the processor 110 may transmit a response message and information about the waiting time to the user terminal 200. In this case, the user terminal 200 may output a response message after the waiting time has elapsed.

As another example, the processor 110 of the server 100 may generate a response message and determine the waiting time using the number of texts constituting the response message. Additionally, the processor 110 may transmit a response message to the user terminal 200 after a waiting time determined using the number of texts has elapsed from the time of receiving the second message. In this case, the user terminal 200 may output a response message after the waiting time has elapsed.

As another example, the processor 210 of the user terminal 200 may generate a response message and then determine a waiting time corresponding to the number of texts constituting the response message. Then, the processor 210 may output a response message after the dash time has elapsed.

As described above, when an interactive game user converses with a character of an interactive game through a chat application, the computing device of the present disclosure provides the user with a conversation function similar to talking with a real person (specifically, a person This can provide the same feeling as typing a response message. Accordingly, the computing device can increase the user's immersion in the interactive game.

Therefore, unlike existing chatbots where the user responds immediately to the message sent by the user and is provided with a reply, the user receives a reply after a certain period of time after sending the message, which is different from receiving a reply from a real person. You may feel the same way.
