Abstract

PURPOSE: An interactive agent using the cooperative AI(Artificial Intelligence) is provided to enable very natural and familiar dialogs by flexibly processing inconsistent language habits of diverse users. CONSTITUTION: A cooperative AI interactive agent system is registered. Vocabularies are transferred to the cooperative AI interactive agent system through a messaging device(S110). A protocol parses/interprets the transferred information(S130). The parsed/interpreted information is stored to each database by being classified in a categorization engine based on a vocabulary/command classification system. The stored information is systemized into the command, the vocabulary data, and reservations. A user wanting to use the systemized information inputs the desired information through the messaging device of the AI interactive agent. An input receiver searches a priority output value for the previously registered information, or searches external databases and the Internet by receiving the desired information, and outputs a search result to a post-processing engine(S150,S160). The searched information is displayed through the messaging device by a messaging program parsing/interpretation.

Description

Interactive Agent System Using Collaborative Artificial Intelligence}

The present invention relates to an instant messenger and a web interworking system and method. The present invention relates to various services such as a game, an e-commerce service, an information providing service, and a meeting opportunity providing service provided on the web by interworking with a message transmission / reception function of an instant messenger service. The present invention relates to an instant messenger and a web interworking system and method for providing optimized information and requesting user input regardless of whether a web browser is executed. Representative means of information retrieval and service use on the Internet is the World Wide Web (WWW). The web can provide not only text, but also multimedia information such as pictures, videos, sounds, and animations, and can process various user inputs to support various Internet services. However, Web-based services do not guarantee that they will always remain connected to the user (because the user will be disconnected from the service if the user terminates the execution of the web browser), so that the predefined conditions are met. There is a problem that it is difficult to provide a notification service that sends a message to the user or updated contents over time. For example, a pet upbringing game, that is, a upbringing game in which pets feed for food in time, is difficult to service on the web. Therefore, this type of application is a common method of installing a separate client on the user platform to provide a service so that the connection with the service provider is always maintained as long as it is connected to the Internet. However, there is a problem that such a service providing method is cumbersome because the user has to install a separate application for each service, and it is difficult for the service provider to spread the service to many users due to the cumbersome installation process. there was. As such, efforts have recently been made to integrate services into instant messengers that cannot be implemented using only the functions of the web and that are inconvenient by a separate application installation method. Instant messenger has been popular since the late 90's, and has been spotlighted as a faster internet communication method than e-mail because of its ability to send and receive messages in real time. Recently, many users have always turned on instant messengers during the time of using the Internet due to the spread of the Internet dedicated line. Therefore, there have been attempts to provide additional services such as alarm service and stock information to instant messenger users in addition to chat and file transfer. Such attempts have been made by each instant messenger service provider to implement their own functions in a messenger service. However, this method does not provide a service regardless of the messenger type. There was an inconvenience that required updating or patching the program. Therefore, various additional services using instant messenger have not been activated yet, and the use of instant messenger is mostly used for chatting or file transfer.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to improve the existing messaging means that can only send and receive messages between people as an interactive agent system using cooperative artificial intelligence, it is possible to communicate with agents other than people, such as a database By applying the format of network cooperative game, we constantly learn new knowledge such as everyday term, online chat term, and buzzword that existing AI or natural language processing system cannot digest. These interactive agents expand not only traditional chat and file transfer but also comprehensive internet services such as news service, information search, and game on instant messenger. The user interface side utilizes the existing messaging terminal including the existing software and hardware. It aims to be able to flexibly handle inconsistent language habits of various users, thus enabling a very natural and friendly conversation. You can take advantage of Messenger, which is always connected to the user and can send messages at a fixed time. You can add a messenger agent for the service by using the same or similar method as registering a friend. It enables the use of various additional services without the need for program updates. The condition setting or time setting at which the messenger agent sends a message to the user can be set by the service user and can be easily changed so that the message agent does not receive the message at an unwanted timing.
