Description

Method for providing a vote using a messenger service, a system for the same, a terminal for the same and a service apparatus therefor

The present invention relates to a messenger service, and more particularly, a method for providing a voting using a messenger service that performs voting between some users when communicating with other users using a messenger service, and discloses the voting results only to voting participants. The present invention relates to a system, a terminal for the same, and a service device therefor.

With the recent development of computer communication, various communities have been formed. Chatting is being used as a way to form such a community. Such chats can range from simply exchanging text to video chats including video, voice and text.

In addition, if a participant wants to chat, to participate in the chat room, the chat room will indicate the intention to participate in the chat room, and the owner (host) of the chat room can allow the participant to talk in the chat room or control not to participate in the chat. Such general chats (text-based chats) can generally involve up to 10 to 50 people. In addition, in the case of a video chat, the number of participants is limited, but in general, it is about 1/4 to 1/5 than the general chat. In other words, in case of video chat, video data and audio data are included, so the size of data is larger than text data, so the number of participants is limited. This slows down the chat and slows down the chat, so you need to reduce the size of the video window.

In addition, when a large number of users chat, all conversation contents are open to the public, so it is impossible to talk or vote with a specific party, and a process of determining a conversation topic or arranging the contents of the conversation is necessary.
