Accordingly, the character image search module 440 searches for an image corresponding to the representative word in the image database 500 by referring to the representative word.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for extracting and transmitting a character image using a text message according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, first, a text message and character setting information input from a terminal are received (500), and it is determined whether the received character setting information is an automatic selection mode or a user selection mode (510).

As a result of the determination in step 510, when the received character setting information is in the automatic selection mode, the received text message information is provided to the morpheme extraction module 420 to extract the text message in the form of a standard word through a dictionary search (520). ). The string extracted in the standard word form is divided into words through the representative word extraction module 430, and the representative word is extracted by determining the priority of each word (530).

Therefore, the representative word extracted in the process 530 is provided to the character image search module 440 to search for and extract the character image corresponding to the representative word from the image database 500 (540).

Here, the distinction between the automatic selection mode and the user selection mode may be performed by searching for a special key input in a text message input by the user. When a special key is found, the character entered after the special key is designated as a representative word. If it doesn't, it's sorting stemming based on the text messages that are entered.

For example, if the input text message is "Let's love you and seeing", the text message receiving module 410 recognizes this as an automatic selection mode because the special key is not searched for in the currently input text and stems all of the text messages. The standard word is selected and provided to the extraction module 420, and finally, the representative word is extracted and provided to the character image search module 440.

In operation 510, when the received character setting information is the user selection mode, the character image search module 440 searches for and extracts the selected word through the word selected by the user (550). Accordingly, the character image extracted through the process 550 or the process 540 is transmitted to the receiving terminal along with the text message and ends the present loop (560).

That is, when the input text message is "Let's love you and seeing and hating", the text message receiving module 410 searches for a special key "&" in the currently input text and recognizes it as a user selection mode. The word "hate", which is the character described after the key "&", is extracted. In this case, the extracted representative word is provided to the character search module 440.

FIG. 6 is a detailed flowchart of an embodiment of a standard word character extraction process illustrated in FIG. 5.

As shown in FIG. 6, first, a text message is received and a candidate text string is extracted from the text message through the candidate text string extractor 422 (610).

The extracted candidate character string is input to the standard word character extracting unit 423 and searched through a beer dictionary, a slang dictionary, and a standard word dictionary to extract standard word characters (620).

Herein, the standard language character means, for example, that the text message to be input is "I was fit for a cigarette today", where the morphemes are "I", "today", "cigarette" and "right". Therefore, each morpheme is extracted through the dictionary search, "damping" corresponding to the beer as "teacher", and the rest is output as it is to extract the final standard language characters.

Therefore, the standard word characters extracted as above are combined, and when the standard language characters are "I", "today", "teacher" and "right", the combination is combined into the string "I was right by the teacher of today". And the filtered standard word string is provided to the representative word extraction module 430 (630).

7 is a detailed flowchart of an exemplary embodiment of a representative word selection process illustrated in FIG. 5.

As shown in FIG. 7, first, an attribute of a string is determined based on the filtered standard language string (710). Here, the attribute of the string determines whether an input string is a negative sentence, an affirmation sentence, an exclamation sentence, a question mark, or the like.

Also, the filtered standard word string extracts a verb and an adjective which is a descriptor from the string through the descriptor detection unit 433 as a word, and provides the extracted word to the priority determining unit 435 (720).

The filtered standard word string is extracted as a word through the noun from the string through the noun detector 434, and the extracted word is provided to the priority determiner 435 (730).

Therefore, the priority determiner 435 refers to the character type information provided from the character type determiner 432, the word detected by the descriptor detection unit 433, and the word detected by the noun detector 434 to prioritize the word. The representative word is extracted by determining the ranking, and the extracted representative word is provided to the character image search module 440 to perform extraction and transmission of the character image (740).

The method of the present invention as described above may be implemented as a program and stored in a computer-readable recording medium (CD-ROM, RAM, ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.).

The present invention described above is not limited to the stated embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and it is common in the art that various substitutions, modifications, and changes can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be evident to those who have knowledge of.
