Hereinafter, a method of calling a partner in an internet chat room of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The method of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the conventional Internet chat room, which is not able to communicate without knowing the internet connection even if there is a counterpart who wants to talk without registering as a user in a specific chat room. How to check your internet connection and call to talk.

1 is a schematic diagram showing a conventional Internet connection state.

As shown, a plurality of client PCs 10, 20, 30 are connected to the server 50 via an internet communication network 40. Of course, more than a million servers and hundreds of millions of client PCs are connected through the Internet communication network 40, but it is simplified for convenience of description. It is assumed that the server 50 is a server that provides a chat room menu.

The client PCs 10, 20, and 30 are connected through a modem, ISDN modem, and dedicated lines, and the server 50 notifies the client PC of the result through a predetermined process according to the request from the client PC. I'm using. The server 50 is loaded with a program for performing this purpose, and is configured by using a CPU having a high processing speed in order to quickly process the requests of a plurality of client PCs.

It also uses a web browser to communicate with client PCs and servers. Web browsers can use the popular Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer.

Among the servers 50 as described above, there are a number of companies that provide chat room services for smooth communication among users. Chat rooms are provided to freely exchange opinions among many unspecified users, and are mainly used by inputting characters in text form. Therefore, since the other party is difficult to identify, the nickname is mainly recognized by the nickname.

In addition, even if there is a person who wants to talk, the conversation is possible only after requesting a conversation in the chat room menu field and completing user registration.

In the present invention, first, after a user registers in a chat room, an input field of an e-mail address is displayed in a menu screen field so that the user can search for a chat partner who wants to talk. The registered user enters the e-mail address of the other party and starts searching. 3 is an embodiment of a web page 100 displayed by a web browser according to the present invention, in which a user is connected to an arbitrary chat room. The content of welcome to enter the chat room, the number and content of the currently opened chat rooms, and an address input field 104 for inputting an e-mail at the bottom are set. Of course, the configuration of the web page 100 may have a different form depending on the chat room.

The registered user who registers with the chat room inputs an e-mail of a specific user in the e-mail address input field 104 to check whether the chat partner whom he / she wants to talk with is currently connected to the Internet. When the e-mail input is completed, press the send button below to send the data.

The transmitted data is delivered to the server 50 that operates the chat room. The server receiving the email address data immediately sends a query through the Internet communication network 40 to another host server with an email address (not shown) to confirm whether the user corresponding to the email address is currently using the Internet. . In the case of confirming the connection status of the other party as described above, it is preferable to set the other party's e-mail address to the address of the host computer that is used mainly when connecting to the Internet.

When information about whether the chat partner is currently in use is input from the host server of the counterpart who wishes to chat, the server outputs the input data to the registrants who registered the chat room. 4 is an example of the display according to the e-mail address verification result displayed to the chat room registrant. As shown, a chat request window 106 is displayed with a button indicating that the requesting e-mail user is currently connected to the Internet and displaying a button for requesting a "call request."

If the chat room registrant wants to chat, he / she sends it by pressing the "Request Chat" button. After the transmitted data is received by the server, a message indicating that the other party wants to request a conversation is output on the monitor screen of the personal PC. This is preferably output when the other party uses a web browser.

If you do not use a web browser, you can send an invitation by e-mail. If the user invited to the chat room has a conversation in the chat room or rejects the chat, the user who sent the invitation to the chat room can abandon the chat or request a chat by entering another user's email address. 5 shows an example of the selection window 108 displayed on the screen of the web page 200 of the chat partner when there is a chat request. This is preferably displayed at the bottom of the web page 200 of the other party does not interfere with other content transmitted.

When the button marked as access or rejected is pressed, this data is transferred to the chat room server and the result is displayed to the chat room registrant who requested the chat. When you respond, you enter the chat room and talk in the normal way. If the user does not respond to the conversation, the chat room registrant may invite the conversation as described above by inputting the other party's e-mail address for the other chat room.

In the above description, although the registrant has searched for the chat partner using an e-mail address, it is possible to provide additional services in the server. That is, if another netizen requests to find a chat room registrant, the server is configured to contact the server.

In other words, when a member registrant enters an arbitrary email address and requests a search to confirm that a member with that email address is currently connected to the chat room, the chat room server (or other service server) registers with the current email address. After confirming that the user is connected to the chat room, a message is sent to the e-mail-owning member who is currently registered in the chat room to receive a message from the registered search requester. This is a service performed in the chat room server, and each member can receive the corresponding services after registering the user ID and password respectively.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is an advantage that a netizen who wants a user to talk in an internet chat room can be checked by inputting an e-mail address and calling the chat room.

Although the invention has been described in detail only with respect to the described embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and variations can be made within the spirit and scope of the invention, and such variations or modifications will belong to the appended claims. .
