In addition, the service control unit 22 may extract a specific word by comparing personal information between the user and the user of the counterpart terminal. In other words, the service control unit 22 confirms the cultural difference between the user and the counterpart terminal user based on the user information such as the age, sex, occupation, nationality, education, religion, It is possible to extract a word that is difficult for the user to understand or a word that is difficult for the user of the counterpart terminal to understand and provide annotation information on the extracted word among the messages transmitted and received based on the culture difference. Here, cultural differences mean differences in knowledge, belief and behavior among people, and differences in fields including one or more of age, language, religion, occupation, education, nationality, sex, and hobbies. For example, if the number of users is 20 and the number of users of the counterpart terminal is 50, the user can understand the word 'poppin', but the user of the counterpart terminal may have difficulty understanding the word 'poppin'. In this way, the control unit 13 may support the process of extracting specific words based on the user information after confirming the user information (sex, age, etc.) between the user and the user of the counterpart terminal.

For this purpose, the service control unit 22 may store and manage the annotation information database 23a previously stored in the service storage unit 23 for each user information. In the example described above, the words included in the comment information database 23a for the twenties may be a song, soybean, soybean, or the like, and the words included in the comment information database 23a for the fifties' , Can be counted.

In this manner, in a state where the annotation information database 23a is stored and managed for each user information, the service control unit 22 can extract specific words based on the user information after confirming the user information between the users.

In addition, the service control unit 22 may perform various searches, information collection, filtering, and the like in order to update the annotation information database 23a previously stored in the service storage unit 23. [ In particular, the service control unit 22 performs not only collection of dictionary meaning but also definition information for the words, mapping between the collected information, and reliability check for providing annotation information on words such as Slang, slang, and ephemeral words .

In addition, the service control unit 22 can collect not only the words but also the surrounding terms in the environment where the words are used, so as to provide both literal meaning and contextual meaning together. When collecting surrounding words, the service control unit 22 collects not only adjacent words of a sentence in which a specific word is used but also a plurality of preceding and succeeding sentences in which the word is used, as an example sentence, Extraction and management can be performed.

In addition, when the service control unit 22 receives the comment information request for the specific word from the terminal 10 but the comment information for the word is not stored in the comment information database 23a of the service storage unit 23 , And may support extended annotation information retrieval.

In other words, after the service control unit 22 establishes a communication channel with a specific service device or a service device storing information on which a term requiring a search for annotation information is stored, the service control unit 22 can receive annotation information on a specific term have. Accordingly, the annotation information may include various information such as a paragraph, a questionnaire, and a sentence in which a specific term is used, as well as a comment describing a specific term.

The service control unit 22 may be configured to include the term extraction module 22a, the annotation information collection module 22b, the annotation information provision module 22c, and the messenger control module 22d in order to provide the annotation information as described above. have. The term extraction module 22a can extract a word by dividing the message into a plurality of morphemes and comparing the words with the words registered in the annotation information database 23a of the service storage unit 23 among the plurality of morphemes. Also, the term extraction module 22a may compare the cultural differences between the recipient and the sender, and extract certain words based on cultural differences.

The annotation information collection module 22b controls the process of retrieving and collecting annotation information corresponding to the extracted word from the annotation information database 23a of the service storage 23. In addition, the annotation information collection module 22b may perform various searches, information collection, and filtering to update the annotation information database 23a of the service storage 23. The annotation information providing module 22c controls the entire process of providing the retrieved annotation information to the terminal 10 through the service communication unit 21. [ The messenger control module 22d may perform various functions for providing and controlling the messenger program between the plurality of terminals 10. [

Various information generated during the use of the messenger program as described above may be stored in the service storage unit 23. [ In addition, the service storage unit 23 may store messages, content, and the like exchanged between the terminal 10 and one or more other terminals, and the service control unit 22 may store the information May be stored.

In addition, the service storage unit 23 according to the embodiment of the present invention can be implemented by storing the annotation information database 23a. The annotation information database means a database storing dictionary information about a specific word and information about a word used differently from a dictionary meaning such as fluency, slang, ephemeral, etc., and is used to map at least one term to a corresponding term At least one annotation information. In addition, a plurality of annotation information can be mapped to a specific term. At this time, the plurality of annotation information can be arranged with a certain reliability. The reliability information may be defined in the process in which the initial annotation information is mapped to the corresponding term and may be adjusted by the evaluation information on the annotation information provided from the terminal 10. [

Meanwhile, the annotation information stored in the annotation information database 23a may be divided into categories and stored. Accordingly, annotation information may be provided differently for each category even if the same terminology is used. The category may include at least one of various items such as, for example, life, society, economy, humor, game, sports, stock, hag and slang word, and new categories may be newly established by adding terms. For example, the term "democratization" can be placed in the social and hungry categories, respectively. The "democratization" assigned to the social category can mean a state in which democracy has been established according to activities for democracy establishment, but the "democratization" assigned to the term category can mean bullying or violence.

The term mapped to the annotation information in the annotation information database 23a for supporting annotation information on such a term may include not only a word but also a plurality of words or phrases. For example, terms having plural vocabularies of "democratization" and "hit" are classified into social categories, and the corresponding annotation information can be searched.

As described above, the words can be classified into different categories. Accordingly, in order to provide accurate annotation information, terms stored in the annotation information database 23a are not limited to one particular word or vocabulary, Words and vocabularies can be included and stored. For categorizing the terms, information about other words in the sentence or sentence to which the term is applied other than the specific term may also be stored.

In addition, the annotation information stored in the annotation information database 23a can be classified and categorized according to the age group, education level, sex, nationality, interest field, major field, and the like. For example, specific terms and annotation information stored in the annotation information database 23a are stored in terms of terms used mainly by age group, terms used mainly by academic background, and terms used mainly by gender in the storage process .

Therefore, the annotation information database 23a of the present invention may have different contents of the annotation information for each user information of the terminal 10, even though the annotation information database 23a is the same word, and the annotation information database 23a constructed for each user information may be different.

Also, although the meaning of the words used in the annotation information is the same, the words of the annotation information describing the words may be different. For example, annotation information for a particular word can be provided in different words and sentence structures for a description for teenagers, a description for twenties, a description for thirties, and a description for 60s. have. Such annotation information provision can be performed according to the information provider's age, gender, education level, etc. in the process of collecting information on the first term. Further, in order to provide the annotation information for each of the above-mentioned categories, an annotation information or a description or definition corresponding to the age group or the education level of the specific word may be further included in the annotation information update process for the specific word.

Here, a reference database for specific words for each category may be provided to support annotation information for each category. The reference database can be information that defines criteria such as which age group the words used to describe a certain term belong to by age group, and which academic degree corresponds to the degree of education. The service control unit 22 can perform classification after collecting annotation information on a specific term based on the above-described reference database in the process of creating or updating the annotation information database 23a of the service storage unit 23. [

The service storage unit 23 stores unique information of the terminals 10 such as the telephone number of the terminals 10 and the specific ID information allocated to the terminal 10 in order to support the message service between the terminals 10, And the like. In addition, the service storage unit 23 may include various personal information such as user information of each terminal 10, for example, user age, user's sex, and education level of the user, according to the user agreement of the terminal 10.

The service storage unit 23 may be a repository in the messenger system 100 or may be a separate data storage device located outside the messenger system 100 and capable of transmitting and receiving data with the messenger service apparatus 20. [

Hereinafter, a method of providing annotation information in a message service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to flowcharts.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an annotation information providing method in a message service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the terminal 10 must first execute a messenger program (S101). Then, the terminal 10 displays a dialog window of a messenger program configured to be able to transmit and receive an instant message with at least one counterpart terminal (S103).

If the preset user input is detected in the dialog window (S105), the terminal 10 transmits a comment information request to the messenger service device 20 (S107).

Herein, the user input corresponding to the predetermined condition may be any one of a toothed, a touch and drag, a swipe, a gesture, a line of sight, and a shake In addition, voice input is possible. In the case of a touch, it may be an input such as a long touch and a double touch. In the case of a touch-drag or swipe, it may be a touch-and-drag or swipe in a specific direction.

In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, when a preset user input is detected while a conversation window screen is displayed, an example of transmitting an annotation information request to the messenger service apparatus 20 is explained. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, The terminal 10 can directly support the process of collecting annotation information and displaying the annotation information on the dialog window screen.

If the preset user input is detected on the conversation window screen, the terminal 10 extracts one or more words from the messages transmitted and received through the conversation window screen, and transmits the word to the messenger service apparatus 20 ).

Then, when the annotation information is received from the messenger service apparatus 20 (S109), the terminal 10 displays the received annotation information on the dialog window of the messenger program. At this time, the terminal 10 gives a predetermined effect (e.g., an underline or an oblique) to a word corresponding to the annotation information or a message including the word, and then, Information can be displayed. Also, the terminal 10 may display annotation information in the form of a pop-up message.

In addition, the terminal 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention may request only the corresponding annotation information from the messenger service apparatus 20 when a selection input of a specific word is confirmed by the user.

This will be described with reference to FIG.

5 is a flowchart illustrating an annotation information providing method in a message service according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, the terminal 10 executes a messenger program (S201) as described with reference to FIG. 4, and displays a conversation window screen in which one or more instant messages are transmitted to and received from at least one counterpart terminal (S203), the terminal 10 can select a specific word at the request of the user (S205). For example, the user can select the word by long touching a specific word among messages displayed on the conversation window screen.

When a predetermined input such as dragging is detected (S207), the terminal 10 transmits a comment request corresponding to the word and the word (S209). When the corresponding annotation information is displayed from the messenger service device 20 (S211), the annotation information can be displayed at a predetermined position near the word (S213 ). For example, after annotating the word with an underline effect, annotation information may be displayed at the bottom of the word.

Hereinafter, a process of retrieving annotation information in the messenger service apparatus 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

Here, when the messenger service apparatus 20 detects that a user input corresponding to a predetermined condition has been generated from the terminal 10, the messenger service apparatus 20 requests the terminal 10 to provide comment information on a specific word in the message sent / It can be recognized as request information. In addition, the messenger service device 20 may receive the annotation information request information from the terminal 10. [

Thereafter, the messenger service device 20 determines whether a specific word is included in the request information from the terminal 10 (S303). At this time, if the specific word is not included, the messenger service apparatus 20 can extract a specific word from the message sent and received through the dialog window (S305).

For example, the messenger service device 20 divides the transmitted and received messages into a plurality of morphemes, and compares the plurality of morphemes with words registered in the annotation information database. As a result of the comparison, when the matching word is registered in the comment information database, the messenger service device 20 can provide the comment information on the word to the terminal 10, thereby extracting the matching word.

Thereafter, the messenger service device 20 searches for and confirms the annotation information on the word in the annotation information database (S307), and transmits the annotation information corresponding to the word to the terminal 10.

On the other hand, in step S303, if the request information includes a specific word, the process of extracting the word may be omitted. At this time, the messenger service device 20 searches the annotation information database for annotation information on the word (S307). At this time, if the retrieved annotation information does not exist, the messenger service device 20 may perform extended retrieval to retrieve annotation information corresponding to the word (S311). That is, the messenger service device 20 can access other service devices such as an Internet search service providing device, perform annotation information search based on the received term, and collect at least one search information for the term.

As described above, according to the present invention, in the conversation window screen of the instant messenger program, by providing annotation information on a specific term included in a message according to predetermined user input, the user can more easily understand the contents of the message, There is an effect that normal language communication can be achieved.
