Description

How to clean up messages in the message service system {METHOD OF ARRANGING MESSAGES IN MESSAGE SERVICE SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a method of organizing messages in a message service system, and more particularly, to a method of organizing messages in a message service system for automatically organizing a message list in a message service system.

In the general message service (or mail service), the message subject (or mail subject) is output in the order of the time of sending and receiving the message (or mail), and the user outputs one message subject (or mail subject). Select to check the contents of the message (or mail).

In the case of a general message service (or mail service), in order to manage only a message (or message) exchanged with a specific person in a situation where a user exchanges a message (or mail) with a plurality of parties, the user directly Among the messages (or mails) exchanged with the other party, only the messages (or mails) exchanged with a specific person should be checked and arranged separately.

At this time, the message (or mail) provided by the general message service system, as shown in Figure 1, the inbox (or inbox) 101, the sent mailbox (or sent mailbox) 102 , A temporary box 103, a spam mailbox (or a spam mailbox) 104, a trash bin 105, and the like, are stored in a storage space.

1 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a main page of a message provided in a general message service system.

In the messages (or e-mails) displayed in the order of recent exchanges with the other party in time, the user directly organizes the corresponding messages (or e-mails) by person name, and then the corresponding message list (or, In the mail list), only message lists (or mail lists) exchanged with a specific person can be selected and copied and managed in a separate storage space (for example, my mailbox 106 shown in FIG. 1).

By the way, in a general message service system, the inbox (or inbox) 101, the outbox (or sent mailbox) 102, the draft box 103, the spam mailbox (or spam mailbox) Messages (or e-mails) stored in storage spaces named 104, Trash 105, etc. must be directly selected by a user and organized in a separate storage space named My Mailbox 106, In addition to the cumbersome work by the user, there is a problem that takes a lot of time required for the cleanup work.

In addition, since a message provided by a general message service system is composed of message-oriented (or mailbox-based), only a message of a meaningful friend (or e-mail) is performed without performing a cleanup operation by the user as described above. There are also problems that are difficult to identify.

Accordingly, users who check messages (or mails) provided by a general message service system may send messages (or, by buddies meaningful to themselves in dozens of messages (or mails) mixed with spam messages. It is necessary to have a structure that automatically distinguishes mail only.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in an effort to solve the problems and necessities described above, and to provide a message organization method of a message service system in which a message list is automatically organized by a person in a message service system.

In order to solve this problem, according to the present invention, by automatically reorganizing the main page of the message (or mail) provided by the message service system mainly to a specific friend, to service the message (or mail) centered on the person Automatic sorting makes it easy to see messages from friends (or mails) that are meaningful to you, without you having to do any message cleanup (or mail cleanup). In addition to preventing time wasting, the user may be provided with the convenience of using a message (or using a mail). In this case, the present invention may automatically form a list by classifying a buddy (ie, a friend) by a certain number of times for a specific period of time for a specific person (for example, a buddy).

According to an aspect of the present invention, in the method of organizing a message in a message service system, extracting counterpart information for a message exchanged with a counterpart through a message server, reading buddy information recorded in a database and the counterpart information; Comparing the reference information, configuring the most contact database for each of the counterpart information with reference to the comparison details, reading the most contact information according to a preset period from the most contact database, and based on the read most contact information And classifying the other party into a buddy according to a specific criterion, and constructing a contact list for the classified buddy and displaying the contact list on the screen using a new interface.

Here, the counterpart information includes a counterpart's mail address, a mobile phone number, and a personal ID given by a company providing a message organizing service. The buddy information may include information on a buddy list already registered in a personal address book, information on a message list exchanged with a counterpart, and information on a buddy list registered on a personal homepage. In addition, the specific criterion includes a specific period of time for sending and receiving a message and a predetermined number of times for sending and receiving a message.

The comparing with the counterpart information confirms whether there is the same information as the counterpart information among the read buddy information.

In the configuring of the most contact database, when there is the same information as the counterpart information among the read buddy information using the comparison history, the counterpart information is regarded as information on a buddy that exchanges a message with a user. It stores the most contact information for each counterpart in the most recent contact database.

In the reading of the most contact information, the most recent contact information is read whenever a message transmission / reception event occurs, rather than the predetermined period.

The displaying of the new interface on the screen may include a friend mail item, an entire mail item, an anonymous mail item, a friend list item, a friend name item, a close friend mail item, a new friend mail item, and a reply mail item only. Display on the screen.

Alternatively, the step of displaying on the screen using the new interface may include setting a predetermined number of times of sending and receiving a message based on the specific criterion, and reordering the messages for the buddy that has exchanged messages with the user for a predetermined number of times. Configured to display on the screen.

In addition, the step of displaying on the screen using the new interface, if the specific period for sending and receiving the message and the predetermined number of times of sending and receiving the message is set based on the specific criteria, the user exchanged messages with the user more than a predetermined number of times within a certain period of time. Rearrange the messages for the buddy and display them as either a close friend mail view item or a new friend mail view item.

As described above, according to the present invention, the message service system allows the user to automatically sort the messages based on people without having to perform the message cleanup operation directly, so that only messages of friends meaningful to the user can be easily checked. In addition to preventing user's hassle and waste of time, it is possible to provide a user with convenience of using a message.

Can be.

A method of organizing messages in a message service system according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration for organizing messages in a message service system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In the message service system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a configuration for organizing messages may include a message server 201, an address book database 202, a message database 203, and a buddy list database as illustrated in FIG. 2. Database 204, an information comparing unit 205, a Most Contact generating unit 206, a Most Contact database 207, a Contact List generating unit 208, and a display unit 209.

The message server 201 receives all messages such as SMS and messages from the other party through the wired / wireless network in addition to the mail, and stores them in the message database 203 or transmits all messages that the user wants to send to the other party through the wired / wireless network. Do this.

The address book database 202 stores and manages information about the buddy list registered in the personal address book.

The message database 203 stores and manages information on the message list exchanged with the counterpart through the message server 201.

The buddy list database 204 stores and manages information about a buddy list registered on a personal homepage such as a messenger, a blog, a cafe, and the like.

The information comparator 205 is a counterpart's information corresponding to the messages stored through the message server 201 (for example, a sender's mail address, a mobile phone number, and a personal ID given by a company providing a message cleaning service). Etc.), and user information (i.e., address book) recorded in the database 202, 203, 204 based on the identified counterpart information (e.g., a personal ID given by the company providing the message cleaning service). The buddy list information stored in the database 202, the message list information stored in the message database 203, and the buddy list information stored in the buddy list database 204). Forward to 206.

The most contact generator 206 generates the most contact information by referring to the comparison details transmitted from the information comparator 205, and stores and manages the most contact information in the most contact database 207. At this time, the most contact generating unit 206 uses the comparison history transmitted from the information comparing unit 205 to the counterpart information corresponding to the messages stored through the message server 201 and the databases 202, 203, and 204. If the recorded user information is the same, it is regarded as information about the user who is frequently connected to the user (that is, information about a friend who frequently exchanges messages with the user), and the related information (ie, the Most Contact information) is regarded as the Most Contact database. It is stored at 207.

The most contact database 207 stores and manages most contact information generated by the most contact generating unit 206.

The contact list generating unit 208 reads the most contact information stored in the most contact database 207, and based on the read most contact information, a specific criterion (eg, a counterpart to whom a message is sent and received) is determined. For example, after categorizing the message into a buddy (ie, a friend) according to a specific period of time in which a message is exchanged, a predetermined number of times of sending and receiving a message, etc., the display is configured as a contact list (ie, a buddy history). 209).

The display unit 209 outputs the contact list transmitted from the contact list generator 208 to a new interface (for example, a friend list) on the screen.

Hereinafter, a message organizing method of a message service system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 4.

First, when all messages such as SMS, messages, etc., in addition to mail are delivered from the other party through the wired / wireless network, or all the messages that the user wants to transmit are delivered to the other party through the wired / wireless network, the message server 201 sends all the messages from the other party. Receive and store in the message database 203, or all the messages that the user wants to transmit to the other party through a wired or wireless network.

At this time, the information comparison unit 205 checks the messages (ie, messages exchanged with the other party) stored through the message server 201 (S301) and exchanges the corresponding party information (for example, the sender). (Or, recipients) e-mail address, mobile phone number, personal ID given from the company that provides a message cleaning service, etc.) is extracted (S302).

The information comparison unit 205 reads user information (i.e., buddy information) already recorded and managed in the databases 202, 203, and 204 (S303). That is, the information comparing unit 205 reads information on the buddy list already registered in the personal address book from the address book database 202, and reads information on the message list exchanged with the counterpart through the message server 201. The information related to the buddy list registered on a personal homepage such as a messenger, a blog, a cafe, or the like is read from the buddy list database 204.

The information comparison unit 205 compares the counterpart information extracted in the above-described step S302 with the user information (that is, the buddy information) read in the above-mentioned step S303 and reads the counterpart information extracted in the above-mentioned step S302 in the above-mentioned step S303. After checking whether there is the same information among the buddy information (S304), the comparison details are transmitted to the most contact generation unit 206.

For example, the information comparison unit 205 stores buddy information recorded in the databases 202, 203, and 204 based on a personal ID given from a company providing a message cleaning service (ie, stored in the address book database 202). The buddy list information, the message list information stored in the message database 203, and the buddy list information stored in the buddy list database 204) are compared with each other, and the corresponding details are transferred to the most contact generator 206.

Accordingly, the most contact generator 206 configures the most contact database 207 for each counterpart information exchanged with the message by referring to the comparison details transmitted from the information comparing unit 205 (S305).

In other words, when the contact information generating unit 206 has the same information among the user information read in the above-mentioned step S303, the counterpart information extracted in the above-mentioned step S302 using the comparison history transmitted from the information comparing unit 205 is present. In other words, information about the other party to which the user is frequently connected (that is, information about a friend who frequently exchanges messages with the user) is stored in the most contact database 207 as most contact information for each party.

Accordingly, the contact list generating unit 208 reads the most contact information stored in the most contact database 207 generated by the most contact generating unit 206 according to a predetermined period (S306), and then reads the corresponding contact information. On the basis of the last contact information, the correspondent is classified as a buddy (ie, a friend) according to a specific criterion (for example, a specific period of sending and receiving a message, a predetermined number of times of sending and receiving a message, etc.) (S307). ). Here, in the embodiment of the present invention, although the most recent contact information is read according to a predetermined period, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the present invention is not limited to this and according to other conditions such as whenever a message transmission / reception event occurs. It should be understood that it may be read.

The contact list generator 208 constructs a contact list (ie, a friend list or a friend list) for automatically displaying a buddy classified in step S307 as a specific item on the screen. It forwards to 209 (S308).

Then, the display unit 209 outputs a new interface on the screen with the contact list transferred from the contact list generator 208 (S309). For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the display unit 209 may include an item 401 of a friend mail, an item 402 of an entire mail, an item 403 of an anonymous mail, an item of a friend history or a friend list ( 404, an item 405 of a friend's name, etc. are displayed on the screen. In this case, the display unit 209 shows all the messages exchanged with the specific friend on the screen.

On the other hand, when the predetermined number of times of sending and receiving messages in the above-described step S307 is set based on a specific criterion, for example, when the user's message is set to be viewed only with the user who has exchanged messages with each other more than once, the contact list generator ( 208 classifies the user and the friend who has exchanged messages with each other one or more times, and then rearranges the friend's message around the friend (ie, the person) and contacts the contact list (ie, as shown in FIG. 4). The friend name item 405 is configured to be delivered to the display unit 209.

Accordingly, the display unit 209 outputs the message of the friend on the screen centering on the friend who has exchanged a message with the user at least once with the contact list transmitted from the contact list generator 208.

Then, when the user clicks on the friendly name item 405 as shown in FIG. 4, the control unit controlling the operation and operation of the display unit 209 detects this and corresponds to the friendly name item 405. Display the message.

In the above-described step S307, when setting a specific period for sending and receiving a message and a predetermined number of times for sending and receiving a message on a specific basis, for example, only a message of a friend who has exchanged messages with the user three or more times within one month can be viewed. If set, the contact list generation unit 208 sorts the friends who have exchanged messages with the user three or more times within one month, and then rearranges the messages of the friends based on the friends (ie, close friends). Then, the contact list is configured as a contact list (ie, the item 406 of the close friend mail view as shown in FIG. 4) and delivered to the display unit 209.

Accordingly, the display unit 209 outputs a message of the friend on the screen centering on a friend who has exchanged messages with the user three or more times within one month with the contact list transmitted from the contact list generator 208.

Then, when the user clicks on the close friend mail view item 406 as shown in FIG. 4, the control unit that controls the operation and operation of the display unit 209 detects this and associates with the user within one month. Display the messages of friends who have messaged each other more than once.

In addition, in the above-described step S307, when only the mail of the friend who has exchanged mail with the user once within one week is set to be viewed, the contact list generating unit 208 has exchanged the mail with the user once within one week. And then rearrange the mail of the friend centered on the friend (i.e., the new friend) to form a contact list (i.e., item 407 of the new friend mail view as shown in FIG. 4). The display unit 209 is transferred.

Accordingly, the display unit 209 outputs the mail of the friend on the screen centering on the friend who has exchanged mail with the user once within a week with the contact list transmitted from the contact list generator 208.

Then, when the user clicks on the new friend mail view item 407 as shown in FIG. 4, the control unit that controls the operation and operation of the display unit 209 detects this and once in a week with the user. Display the mails of friends who have exchanged mail with each other.

Alternatively, in the case where the predetermined number of times of sending and receiving mails is set based on a specific criterion in step S307 described above, for example, when only the mails of the other party who have sent and received mails are set to be seen, the contact list generating unit 208 classifies the user and the other party who has exchanged mail with each other more than once, and then rearranges the other party's mail with respect to the other party, and the contact list (ie, a friend mail item as shown in FIG. 4). 401) to the display unit 209.

Accordingly, the display unit 209 outputs the mail of the counterpart based on the counterpart who has exchanged mails with the user more than once with the contact list transmitted from the contact list generator 208.

Alternatively, if not set in the above-described step S307 based on a specific criterion, the contact list generation unit 208 rearranges all messages arriving at the user by the person's name (or date, etc.) irrespective of the friend, and the contact list ( That is, all mail items 402 as shown in FIG. 4 are configured to be delivered to the display unit 209.

Accordingly, the display unit 209 outputs all the messages arriving to the user on the screen with the contact list transmitted from the contact list generator 208.

Further, when setting a message received from a person who is not a specific party (i.e. friend) in a specific criterion in step S307 described above, the contact list generating unit 208 classifies a person who is not a friend among those who have received the message. Next, the message of the non-friend is rearranged centering on the non-friend and configured as a contact list (that is, the anonymous mail item 403 as shown in FIG. 4) and delivered to the display unit 209. Done.

Accordingly, the display unit 209 outputs a message of a person who is not a friend, mainly on a person who is not a friend, with the contact list transmitted from the contact list generator 208.

On the other hand, in the message organization method of the message service system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit for controlling the operation and operation of the display unit 209, the user list item 404 as shown in FIG.
