The information providing server 130 collects information that can be provided to the user, such as stock information, breaking news, entertainment news, and exchange rate information. The collected information is collected at the time of collection or according to a predetermined condition. ) Can be sent.

The information providing server 130 may be a server (for example, a newspaper server, a broadcasting station server, etc.) outside the business scope using the present invention, and may be a server included in the business scope.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be briefly described using the system configuration diagram shown in FIG. 1.

A plurality of users having various ideas and tastes and a user who wants to chat on a specific subject are connected to the central server 120 that provides a chat service using the user terminal 110 coupled with the communication network.

Then, the user refers to at least one chat room title, chat room creator information (for example, ID, name, etc.) already established in the corresponding chat service, and connects to a specific chat room, or opens a new chat room. You will decide whether or not to do so.

If the user decides to access a specific chat room, it is determined whether to participate in the chat or watch only in the chat room.

In this case, when the user decides to participate in the chat in the chat room, the central server 120 establishes a session with the corresponding user terminal 110.

A session in communication means an active connection between a user and a computer or two computers, and a session in program use refers to the time from one application to start up and end.

In general, in order to provide a chat service, a message is transmitted to all users who participate in the same chat room in a text format, and a function that allows a user to send and receive the conversations of people who participated in the same chat room (ie, a session) in real time. You should be able to see all the messages.

For reference, the session layer refers to the name of the communication protocol layer located at the fifth in the OSI 7 layer communication protocol defined in the ISO.

The session layer manages one logical structure for dialogue between two communicating applications.

In other words, the session layer creates a session between two applications to facilitate a conversation, and sets a breakpoint in the middle to resume the conversation from the most recently set breakpoint if there is a problem with the session. Providing.

This allows the user to chat with everyone who accesses the same chat room.

However, if the user decides to join or chat only within a particular chat room, the user does not need to establish the same session with a plurality of users who are chatting in the chat room.

In other words, only the contents of the chat being performed in the chat room need to be transmitted to the corresponding user by using a push technique. Thus, the central server 120 does not need to set up a separate session for the user, thereby reducing the burden on the server. Done.

In addition, the user may refer to the chat progress of a specific chat room transmitted from the central server 120 to access the chat room when the chat room corresponds to a desired topic.

Of course, in this case, when the corresponding chat room is restricting access of another user as a password, the chat progress of the chat room may be transmitted only to a user who has completed input of the corresponding password.

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a dual mode chat service system and method for providing securities information that can automatically provide real-time information as well as chat progress in a particular chat room.

If the chat system is divided into 'Exchange', 'KOSDAQ', 'Third Market', and 'Gift Options', there will be chat rooms opened by users.

In other words, there may be a plurality of chat rooms (eg, Samsung Electronics, Daewoo Motors, etc.) that can chat on specific items listed on the exchange.

In this case, when the user selects 'exchange' and selects a specific chat room (for example, Samsung Electronics), information of stock information (for example, real-time stock quotes, trading volume, etc.) corresponding to the subject of the chat room is output. The chat progress that is currently in progress in the chat room is output to a certain area.

The user can easily search for a desired chat room with reference to the chat progress, and can also access the chat room.

As described above, a brief description of the present invention will be described in detail later with reference to a flowchart and an exemplary view of a screen display.

2 is a flow chart illustrating a method for providing a chat progression according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, in operation 210, the central server receives an access request from a user terminal through a communication network.

In step 220, the central server checks whether the user connected through step 210 is a user (eg, a member, etc.) who can use the chat service.

In step 220, if the user is not a valid user, the process proceeds to step 230, and an error message such as 'Please register' is sent to the user terminal, and the process proceeds to step 210. FIG. In addition, if the user is a valid user, the flow proceeds to step 240.

In step 240, the central server transmits a list of a plurality of chat rooms that the user can select (e.g., Samsung Electronics, Daewoo Motor, Hyundai E & C, Lightning, etc.) to the user terminal. Receive selection information.

In step 260, the central server checks whether the user accesses the chat room for the purpose of chatting.

As a result of the check in step 260, if the user accesses to participate in the chat, go to step 270 to enable the user to use the chat service, otherwise access to view only the chat progress of the chat room. If yes, go to Step 280.

Of course, the inspection step of step 260 may be further subdivided to check whether the user will proceed with the chat progress or not even view.

In step 280, the central server searches for the chat progress currently being performed in the chat room selected by the user, and proceeds to step 290 to transmit the chat progress to the user terminal.

As a result, the user can view the contents of the chat being performed in the chat room without being connected to the chat room, and if the chat room has a chat about a topic desired by the chat room, the user can access the chat room. It is possible.

The steps described with reference to FIG. 2 will now be described in detail again with reference to the exemplary view of the screen display.
