Hereinafter, a virtual helper application service through an instant messenger provided by a system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The user terminal 200 can execute the instant messenger according to user input. In addition, the user terminal 200 may activate a chat window including at least one of the virtual helper applications as a conversation, according to user input.

The service server 100 may receive a chat window opening request including at least one virtual helper application as a conversation from the terminal 200 of the user. Accordingly, the service server 100 selects a virtual helper application to communicate with the user on the instant messenger among the virtual helper applications.

The service server 100 may provide the user's terminal 200 with a chat interface that includes the user and the virtual helper application as a conversation. That is, when the instant messenger is executed in the user terminal 200 and the virtual helper application is selected in the conversation, the service server 100 provides a session for chatting between the service server 100 and the user terminal 200 . In addition, the service server 100 provides the virtual helper application as a conversation partner to the chat window on the instant messenger through the generated session.

At this time, the virtual helper application selected by the service server 100 functions as a virtual conversation partner for exchanging instant messages with the user in the chat window.

A user can input a chat message through the terminal 200 of the user, and in response, the virtual helper application can generate a message. In addition, the service server 100 may transmit the generated message to the user terminal 200. At this time, the generated message may be transmitted to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface. The user terminal 200 can display a message input by the user and a message generated by the virtual helper application as conversation contents on the chat window.

The service server 100 can determine the task of the virtual helper application based on the message input from the user. Alternatively, the service server 100 may determine the task of the virtual helper application based on the conversation contents including the message generated by the virtual helper application. Specifically, it is assumed that a task-related content is included in a chat message input by the user through the terminal 200 of the user. The service server 100 may receive a chat message including the task related content from the terminal 200 of the user. At this time, the task related content may include at least one of work related text, emoticon, image, and moving image input by a user.

In order to recognize the business-related content, the service server 100 may store information on the business-related content in advance. When the recognized service-related content is matched with the previously stored service-related content information, the service server 100 can determine the service of the virtual helper application based on the matched service-related content.

After confirming the task, the service server 100 determines a partner that matches the determined task, and transmits a message requesting execution of the task to the terminal 300 of the partner.

Meanwhile, the service server 100 of the present invention can monitor the state of the user terminal 200. [ That is, the service server 100 may periodically receive the specific data processing result of the user terminal 200. [ In addition, the service server 100 may periodically monitor whether the user terminal 200 transmits or receives a specific signal. Alternatively, the service server 100 may receive information on whether or not the user terminal 200 performs a specific operation at a predetermined time.

The service server 100 can determine whether a business event assisted by the virtual helper application occurs in the terminal 200 of the user through the monitoring.

As a result of the determination, when a business event occurs, the service server 100 transmits a command for activating the instant messenger to the terminal 200 of the user. In addition, the service server 100 may provide the user's terminal 200 with a chat interface included in the conversation between the user and the virtual helper application. That is, when a service event occurs, the service server 100 creates a session for instant messaging between the service server 100 and the user terminal 200. In addition, the service server 100 may provide the virtual helper application as a conversation to the chat window on the instant messenger.

Accordingly, the terminal 200 of the user can activate the instant messenger and display a chat window in which the user and the virtual helper application are conversational.

The service server 100 may control to generate a message corresponding to a business event in which the virtual helper application has occurred. The service server 100 may transmit the generated message to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface.

The user terminal 200 can display a message generated by the virtual helper application on a chat window. The user can input a chat message to respond to the message of the virtual helper application through the terminal 200 of the user.

The service server 100 can thus determine the task of the virtual helper application based on the user's chat message. Alternatively, the service server 100 may determine the task of the virtual helper application based on the conversation contents between the user including the message generated by the virtual helper application and the virtual helper application. In addition, the service server 100 may control the virtual helper application to perform the determined task. At this time, the virtual helper application can perform the task by searching the intranet control module 130 for information on the service server 100 or information on a separate device connected to the intranet. Or the virtual helper application may perform tasks by registering specific information on the service server 100 or on a separate device connected to the intranet. Or the virtual helper application may perform the task by modifying information previously registered on the service server 100 or on a separate device connected to the intranet.

A system according to another embodiment of the present invention can provide a virtual helper application service to a plurality of users in chat through an instant messenger. To this end, the service server 100 provides a chat interface for chatting between the user and the other party to the user terminal 200 and the other party's terminal 300. That is, the service server 100 may create a session for instant messaging between the terminal 200 of the user and the terminal 300 of the other party. The session may be via the service server 100.

Next, the service server 100 receives the chat message through the chat interface from the terminal 200 of the user and the terminal 300 of the other party. That is, the service server 100 can extract the conversation contents exchanged by the two parties through the instant messenger.

At this time, the service server 100 can recognize the task related contents among the received chat messages. The service server 100 can select a virtual helper application corresponding to the recognized business related content.

The service server 100 can determine the task of the virtual helper application based on the chat message.

A system according to another embodiment of the present invention may provide a virtual helper application service for generating desired task information by a user.

The service server 100 may receive the chat message from the user terminal 200 via the chat interface. At this time, the chat message may include contents related to work and contents not relating to work.

The service server 100 can recognize the contents related to the task and inquire the corresponding first information from the first server. In addition, the service server 100 can recognize the content that is not related to the task, and inquire the corresponding second information from the second server.

In addition, when the user selects the conference room button 625 in the chat interface 603, the conference room reservation request text 635 is displayed on the user terminal 200 as business related contents. The service server 100 can receive the conference room reservation request with the user's chat message.

Meanwhile, the user may input text through the soft keyboards 610, 620 and 630 in order to input the task related chat message.

The service server 100 may transmit a message generated by the first virtual helper application to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface in response to the received chat message at step S40.

6, if the first virtual helper application is a time attendance registration assistant, the service server 100 sends a sick leave registration message 641 to the user's terminal 200 in response to the user's chat message 631 Can be transmitted. If the first virtual helper application is a payment assistant, the service server 100 may transmit the settlement registration message 643 to the user terminal 200 in response to the user's chat message 633. [ When the first virtual helper application is the SR registration assistant, in response to the user's chat message 635, the service server 100 transmits a query message 645 for reservation registration of the conference room to the user terminal 200 can do.

7 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a method of generating a message to be transmitted to a user terminal 200 by a first virtual helper application. Particularly, in FIG. 7, the case where the attendance assistant is selected as the first virtual application and the service server 100 provides the chatting interface 700 including the user and the attendance registering assistant to the user's terminal 200 It is shown as an example.

In step S40, the service server 100 can recognize the task-related content among the chat messages received from the terminal 200 of the user.

Referring to FIG. 7, the user's chat message 701 includes text "vacation" as business related content. The service server 100 can recognize the text "vacation" in the task related content through the message recognition module 111. [ To this end, the service server 100 may pre-store the text "vacation" As the service server 100 recognizes "vacation" from the chat message 701, the service server 100 can determine the work of the attendance registering assistant as the vacation registration task during the attendance registration work.

The service server 100 can determine whether there is additional information for confirming the task of the first virtual helper application based on the recognized task related content. The service server 100 can determine whether the task of the first virtual helper application can be determined by the task related determination module 1151 which is a component of the application execution module 115. [

To this end, the service server 100 may store in advance information required for job confirmation other than the recognized job related content. For example, the information required to confirm the leave registration task may include information such as vacation schedule, reason for leave, and the like. At this time, the service server 100 can determine that the vacation schedule and vacation reason information is additionally required as the information for confirming the vacation registration task, in addition to the "vacation" recognized in the chat message 701. [ Accordingly, the service server 100 can generate a query message 702, 704 for acquiring the further required information via the message generation module 1152, which is an arrangement of the application execution module 115. [ The message generation module 1152 may generate a message 702 to obtain information about a vacation schedule. The message generation module 1152 may also generate a message 704 to obtain information on the reason for the leave.

The service server 100 may transmit the generated messages 702 and 704 to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface.

The chat content on the chat interface may include a query message sent by the service server 100 and a chat message additionally received from the user terminal 200 in response thereto. That is, the user inputs a chat message in addition to the user's terminal 200 in response to the inquiry message.

The service server 100 may determine the task of the first virtual helper application based on the chat message received from the user terminal 200 in step S50.

Alternatively, the service server 100 may determine the task of the first virtual helper application based on the conversation contents including the message generated by the first virtual helper application. That is, the service server 100 may use the conversation between the user and the first virtual helper application to confirm the work of the first virtual helper application.

That is, the service server 100 can determine, based on the conversation contents on the chat interface 700, that additional information for job confirmation still exists. If there is no additional information, the service server 100 can confirm the task of the first virtual assistant. On the other hand, if there is remaining additional information, the service server 100 generates a query message to acquire the remaining additional information, and transmits the query message to the user terminal 200.

For example, in response to the message 702, when the chat message 703 for the vacation schedule is input from the terminal 200 of the user, the service server 100 receives additional information for confirming the work of the attendance assistant It can be judged that information on reason exists. Accordingly, the service server 100 can generate a query message 704 and transmit it to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface 700. [

If the user inputs a chat message 705 "LYRICS" as vacation information, the service server 100 can confirm the task of the attendance registering assistant because there is no additional information for confirming the vacation registration task . The service server 100 may provide an interface other than the query message to the user terminal 200 in order to acquire additional information required for task confirmation of the first virtual helper application. For example, the service server 100 may send a query message 702 and provide a calendar object 712 to request the user to enter information about the vacation schedule. The user may skip the response to the query message 702 via the date designation input on the calendar object 712 without inputting the chat message 703. [

The service server 100 may transmit the message 706 to the user terminal 200 via the chat interface 700. [ The service server 100 can perform the tasks determined through the task execution module 1153, which is a component of the application execution module 115. [ That is, the service server 100 can perform the vacation registration service for the user using the information on the chat messages 701, 703, and 705.

For example, if the service server 100 is an intranet server of a company, the task execution module 1153 may provide vacation information on the intranet server for personal reasons from May 3 to May 7 You can register.

Alternatively, when the service server 100 is connected to the intranet server of the company through the intranet, the task execution module 1153 registers the above-described vacation information with the user attendance information on the intranet server through the intranet control module 130 can do.

Meanwhile, although the task of the first virtual helper application is established as described above, there may be a case where the task of the other partner is required to perform the task of the first virtual helper application. In this case, if the other party does not perform the task, the task execution module 1153 can not register the vacation information on the intranet server. Here, the other party means a person who performs tasks necessary for performing the tasks of the first virtual assistant.

The service server 100 may determine the other party that matches the established service (S60). In addition, the service server 100 may send a message to the determined other party's terminal 300 to designate the other party as the person in charge of the business (S70).

Hereinafter, a process of transmitting a message to the counterpart matching the determined task and a process of determining the counterpart counterpart will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. FIG. 8 is an exemplary diagram for explaining a process of transmitting a message to a matching party, and FIG. 9 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a process of determining a matching partner. In particular, FIG. 8 shows an example in which the attendance assistant is selected as the first virtual assistant application, and FIG. 9 shows an example in which the purchase enrollment assistant is selected as the first virtual assistant application.

8, when the service server 100 receives the user's chat message 801 via the chat interface 800, the service server 100 transmits a task registration assistant task to the "vacation" registration . The service server 100 may generate a message 802 informing of the task confirmation using the message generation module 1152. [ In addition, the service server 100 can perform the determined tasks using the task performing module 1153. [

It is assumed that a person in charge needs to pay for vacation registration. At this time, the task execution module 1153 may send a message requesting approval of the vacation registration to the person having the approval authority in the vacation registration of the user, in order to perform the vacation registration task.

The service server 100 may transmit messages 803, 804, and 805 for the task execution process of the task execution module 1153 to the terminal 200 of the user. In the above example, the business process may be a settlement process for vacation registration. The service server 100 transmits a vacation registration registration message 803, a first payment result message 804 and a second payment result message 805 to the chat interface 800 according to the work process of the attendance registration assistant. To the terminal 200 of the user.

The service server 100 can determine the payment manager through the pre-stored payment line information on the intranet server or the service server 100. [ For example, when the user's vacation registration payment line is a "kimchi section" and a "longevity section", the service server 100 can determine "kimchi section" and " have. Accordingly, the service server 100 can provide a chat interface to the person in charge step by step according to the approval process. That is, the service server 100 may determine the "Kim Department" and the "Park Manager" as the other parties matched with the vacation registration service, and sequentially provide the chat interface to the terminals of the "Kim Department" and the " have.

At this time, the chat interface 810 provided by the service server 100 to the terminals of the "KIM" and "KIM SUNG" may be a chat interface using the conversation partner as a billing assistant. That is, in order to perform the task of the first virtual helper application, the service server 100 transmits the first virtual helper application (hereinafter, the second virtual helper application) different from the first virtual helper application to the determined other terminal 300 Message to be transmitted. Here, the second virtual helper application may be a virtual helper application that performs the tasks required to perform the tasks of the first virtual helper.

For example, when the first virtual helper application is a time attendance registration assistant, it is assumed that a payment officer's payment is required to register a user's vacation. At this time, the service server 100 may determine the second virtual helper application as a billing assistant in order to perform the billing work required for the vacation registration service.

Accordingly, the service server 100 can transmit the message 811 requesting approval of the vacation registration service to the other party's terminal 300 through the chat interface 810. [ In other words, the service server 100 can transmit the message in a form that the billing assistant initiates the conversation to the other party on the chat interface 810. That is, the service server 100 can transmit the message 811 to the terminal 300 of the other party while providing the chat interface 810 to the terminal 300 of the other party.

The service server 100 may generate a settlement request message 811 through the task execution module 1153 and transmit the settlement request message 811 to the terminal 300 of the other party. At the same time, the service server 100 may transmit the approval registration message 803 of the attendance assistant through the chat interface 800 to the user terminal 200.

And the other party's terminal 300 can display the chat interface 810 and the message 811. [ When the other party inputs the chat message 812 in response to the message 811, the service server 100 may determine whether there is further information necessary for establishing the settlement task through the task confirmation module 1151. [ If the work of the billing assistant is not confirmed, the service server 100 can generate a query message 813 for acquiring the further required information to confirm the work of the billing assistant via the message generation module 1152 have. The service server 100 can transmit the message 813 to the terminal 300 of the other party. When the other party sends a chat message 814 to the service server 100 from the other party's terminal 300 in response to the response, the service server 100 determines whether the task of the approval agent is confirmed again.

As a result of the determination, if the work of the approval assistant is established, the service server 100 can perform the determined approval task through the task execution module 1153. That is, the business execution module 1153 can store the payment of the counterpart in the intranet server or the service server 100. For example, the task execution module 1153 may register the user's vacation in the time attendance recording area of the company intranet server. The service execution module 1153 generates a payment completion message 815 and the service server 100 transmits the message 815 to the terminal 300 of the other party through the chat interface 810 as a message of the approval assistant can do.

In addition, the task execution module 1153 may generate a first assignment result message 804 to be transmitted to the terminal 200 of the user. The service server 100 may transmit the first payment result message 804 to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface 800. [

On the other hand, in the above example, the service server 100 may repeat the above operation with the other party as the other party.

Referring to FIG. 9, the service server 100 may provide the chat interface 900 to the user terminal 200. The chat interface 900 may be a chat window of an instant messenger for a conversation between a user and a purchase registration helper when a purchase registration helper is selected as a first virtual helper application.

In the case where the user's chat message 901 requests purchase of a ballpoint pen, in the case of the service server 100, the message recognition module 111 of the application module 110 can recognize the task related content called "purchase ". In addition, the message recognition module 111 can recognize "ball pen" as an object of purchase. Accordingly, the work of the purchase registration assistant can be confirmed as the registration of the ballpoint pen purchase request.

The service server 100 may transmit a message 902 to the user's terminal 200 via the chat interface 900 indicating that the registration of the ballpoint pen purchase request is confirmed to the task of the purchase registration helper. In addition, the service server 100 performs registration of the ballpoint pen purchase request through the business execution module 1153. Accordingly, the business execution module 1153 can register the ballpoint purchase request in the purchase request list 912 on the service server 100 or the intranet server.

On the other hand, there may be a case where a purchasing department's purchase decision is required to register a purchase requisition. In this case, the task execution module 1153 may send a message requesting the ballpoint pen purchasing request to a person authorized to request the ballpoint pen purchase request of the ballpoint pen purchase request registration task. That is, the business execution module 1153 may transmit the ballpoint pen purchase request message to the ballpoint pen purchaser before registering the ballpoint pen purchase request of the user in the purchase request list 912.

The service server 100 may determine the other party matching the determined ballpoint pen purchase request task as the person in charge. To this end, the service server 100 may determine ballpoint purchase business process information 915 on the service server 100 or the intranet server. Here, the process information 915 may include, for example, information on a department in the company that processes a ballpoint pen purchasing job, information on a job load of a purchasing department, a payment line, a charge job, and the like.

The service server 100 may determine the optimum person in charge of performing the task as the matched partner based on the process information. At this time, the service server 100 may transmit to the user terminal 200 messages 904 and 905 indicating the process of the purchase registration service.

For example, assume that the person in charge of purchasing on the process information 915 is "Kim Dae-ri," At this time, the service server 100 may exclude "Hwang Do-soo" In addition, the service server 100 can determine the best representative person who can perform the ballpoint pen purchase request of the user on the business schedule of "Kim Dae Ri" and "

The service server 100 may transmit a message requesting execution of the fixtures purchasing service to the determined other party's terminal 300. [ In the above example, the service server 100 may transmit the purchase request message 921 while providing the chat interface 920 to the terminal of "Kim Dae-ri. &Quot; In addition, the service server 100 can transmit the messages 922 and 923 for processing the purchase request task to " Kim Dae-ri " through the chat interface 920. [

When the user inputs a message 924 for determining registration of the ballpoint pen purchase request through the chat interface 920, the business execution module 1153 registers the ballpoint pen purchase request of the user in the purchase request list 912 can do.

Meanwhile, the instant messenger can support three or more multi-party chat interfaces in addition to the chat interface between the user and the other party. Hereinafter, a case where the other party participates in the chat interface during the conversation between the user and the first virtual helper application will be described. FIGS. 10 and 11 are diagrams for explaining a case where a third party participates in the chat window of the instant messenger.

In FIG. 10, the first virtual helper application is a payment assistant, and in FIG. 11, the first virtual helper application is a purchase registration helper. In FIG. 10, the message of the approval assistant is a payment request message 1001, and the message of the purchase registration assistant in FIG. 11 is a purchase request message 1101.

Referring to FIG. 10, the service server 100 may receive an invitation to invite a user who requests vacation registration from the terminal of the payment agent to the chat interface 1000 (1002). Accordingly, the service server 100 can send a message requesting participation to the chat interface 1000 to the terminal 200 of the user. If the user accepts the invitation, he / she can participate 1003 as a chat partner in the chat interface 1000. The payment officer and the user can talk 1004 on the chat interface 1000.

In addition, the settlement manager may send a chat message to the billing assistant on the same chat interface 1000. For example, the chat message may be a settlement message 1005 for a user's vacation registration request. The service server 100 can recognize the text "approval" and can generate a query message for establishing the settlement service. The service server 100 can transmit the inquiry message 1006 to the terminal of the payment person in charge.

The settlement manager and the settlement assistant may exchange messages (1007, 1008) to complete the settlement task via the chat interface (1000). At this time, since the user also participates in the chat interface 1000, the user can confirm the messages 1005, 1006, 1007, and 1008 through the user terminal 200. [ Accordingly, the user can grasp the progress of the approval process in real time.

Referring to FIG. 11, the user can request purchase registration for the goods through the chat interface 1100. The purchase registration assistant determines the other party that matches the purchase registration service, and the service server 100 can send a message to the determined other party's terminal 300 to designate the other party as the business contact person. Referring to Fig. 10, the case where the person in charge of business is "Kim Dae-ryu" will be described as an example.

The service server 100 may receive the participation request message 1102 for the chat interface 1100 from the other party's terminal 300 in step S70. The service server 100 may transmit the participation request message 1102 to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface 1100. [ At this time, if the user terminal 200 receives a message permitting participation of the other party, the service server 100 may add (1103) the other party to the chat interface 1100 as a conversation partner.

The service server 100 may additionally add the other party to the chat interface 1100 and then receive the chat messages 1105 and 1109 inputted by the other party from the other party's terminal 300. [

When the other party participates in the chat interface 1100, the user terminal 200 can transmit the chat message 1104 to the other party's terminal 300 through the chat interface 1100. [ When the user inputs the chat messages 1107 and 1111 in response to the chat messages 1105 and 1109 input by the other party, the user terminal 200 transmits the chat messages 1107 and 1111 through the chat interface 1100 to the other party's terminal 300 As shown in Fig. At this time, the message recognition module 111 of the service server 100 can recognize the task related contents 1106, 1108, and 1110 among the conversation contents between the user and the other party on the chat interface 1100.

For example, when there is a purchase registration request for the user A product, the service server 100 designates the person in charge of the purchase registration task as "Kim Dae Ri ", and sends a purchase registration request message for the A product to the terminal of & Can be transmitted. "Kim Dae Ri" can participate in the chat interface 1100 to notify when the purchase of the A product is impossible. At this time, when the user inputs a chat message 1105 indicating that the "A product can not be purchased" through the chat interface 1100, the service server 100 can recognize the purchase-prohibited (1106) have. In response to the message 1105, the service server 100 may also recognize the B product 1108 text as work related content when the user enters a chat message 1107 asking for a purchase of the B product . Subsequently, the service server 100 can recognize the purchaseable text (1110) among the chat messages 1109 of "Kim Dae-ri " as work related contents.

The service server 100 can determine the task of the purchase registration assistant based on the recognized task related contents 1106, 1108, and 1110. [ In the above example, the work of the purchase registration assistant may be a change of the purchase request. The service server 100 can determine whether the purchase request changing task is confirmed based on the conversation contents on the chat interface 1100. [ The service server 100 may generate a query message 1112 and transmit the query message 1112 to the terminal 200 of the user and the terminal 300 of the other party. When the user inputs a chat message 1113 agreeing to change the purchase request, the service server 100 transmits a message 1114 indicating that the purchase request change is completed to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface 1100 can do. At the same time, the task execution module 1153 can purchase and register the changed contents on the service server 100 or the intranet server.

FIG. 12 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a case where a conversation partner on the instant messenger is changed according to another embodiment of the present invention. The case where the purchase registration assistant 1201 is selected as the first virtual helper application according to the request of the user and the service server 100 provides the chat interface 1200 to the user terminal 200 will be described as an example.

The service server 100 may receive a chat message 1202 of a user including "notebook" and "purchase" In step S40, the service server 100 can recognize the task related content among the chat messages 1202. [ Here, it is assumed that the recognized business related contents "notebook" and "purchase" are not matched with the tasks of the purchase registration assistant 1201. [ For example, a notebook is not a purchase target but a rental target.

The service server 100 may store in advance a target to which the purchase registration assistant 1201 can purchase and register. At this time, if the goods requested for purchase registration are not objects to be stored in advance, even if the business related contents are related to the purchase registration, they do not match the tasks of the purchase registration assistant 1201. The service server 100 may transmit a message 1203 indicating that the purchase registration request item is not a purchase registration object through the chat interface 1200. [

Accordingly, the service server 100 can determine the second virtual helper application corresponding to the recognized task related content. In this example, since the notebook is not a purchase target but a rental target, the SR registration assistant 1211 can be determined as the second virtual helper application. The service server 100 may store in advance an object to which the SR registration assistant 1211 can register as a lending service.

The service server 100 may provide the user terminal 200 with a chat interface 1210 including the SR registration assistant 1211 as a conversation. At this time, the service server 100 may generate a message to be transmitted to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface 1210, based on the conversation information between the user and the purchase registration assistant 1201. [ For example, the service server 100 may provide a message 1212 inquiring whether or not to register the notebook rental service to the user terminal 200 as a message of the SR registration helper 1211. When the rental service registration request message 1213 is inputted as the user's chat message, the service server 100 can generate the query messages 1214 and 1215 for confirming the task of the SR registration assistant. The service server 100 may transmit the messages 1214 and 1215 generated by the SR registration helper message to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface 1210. [

13 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a chat interface in which a user and a plurality of virtual assistant applications participate according to another embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a case where a user's chat message includes contents related to tasks performed by a plurality of virtual helper applications will be described with reference to FIG. It is assumed that the first virtual helper application is the attendance registering assistant 1301.

The service server 100 may provide a chat interface 1300 to the terminal 200 of the user. When the user's chat message 1302 includes "business trip registration" as job related content, the service server 100 can recognize this. The service server 100 may generate a query message 1303 and transmit the query message 1303 to the user terminal 200 to confirm the task of the attendance registering assistant. The service server 100 may determine 1306 the task of the attendance registration assistant based on the chat message 1304 of the user.

At this time, if the user's chat message 1305 is further input, the service server 100 can recognize "company car use" as work related contents. The service server 100 can determine whether the "company car use" matches the task of the attendance assistant. If the "company car use" is not matched to the work of the attendance registering assistant, the service server 100 can determine the second virtual assistant application corresponding to "company car use ". If the second virtual helper application corresponding to the "company car use" is the SR registration assistant, the service server 100 responds to the user's chat message 1305 in step S40, SR registration assistant 1307 can be added.

The service server 100 may transmit the message 1308 generated through the SR registration helper to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface 1300. [ The user terminal 200 may, in response to a user input, enter a message 1309 requesting a vehicle rental registration in response to the message 1308.

In step S50, the service server 100 determines (1310) the task of the SR registration assistant based on the conversation contents including the messages generated through the user's chat messages 1305 and 1309 and the SR registration assistant .

The case where the billing assistant first initiates a conversation to the user via the chat interface 810 in FIG. 8 has been described above. In addition, in FIG. 9, the case where the purchase registration assistant initiates a conversation to the user via the chat interface 920 has also been described. That is, since the virtual helper application of the present invention functions as a virtual conversation on the chat interface, the virtual helper application can transmit a message to the user first. That is, even if the user does not input a chat window opening request and a chat message, the virtual helper application can transmit a chat message first as in a normal chatting party. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, a method of starting a conversation by the virtual helper application will be described in detail.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a method for requesting a conversation for a user of a virtual helper application according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 14, the service server 100 may monitor whether or not a business event occurs in the user terminal 200 (S1401). For example, the service server 100 may monitor whether a preset business event occurs in a plurality of user terminals connected to the intranet. The service server 100 may periodically monitor whether or not the business event occurs. Alternatively, the service server 100 may monitor whether a specific business event occurs at the user's terminal 200 at a predetermined time.

The service server 100 may determine whether a business event is performed by the virtual helper application in the terminal 200 of the user (S1402). The service server 100 may determine a virtual helper application that performs tasks related to an event related to a task that has occurred in the terminal 200 of the user.

8, when the terminal of the settlement manager receives the settlement request message 811, the service server 100 determines that the business event performed by the settlement assistant is the terminal of the settlement manager As shown in FIG. 9, when the terminal of the service representative receives the purchase request message 921, the service server 100 determines whether a business event performed by the purchase registration helper occurs in the terminal of the service representative .

Hereinafter, a business event will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 15 and FIG. In FIG. 15, the case where the virtual helper application is the attendance registering assistant is shown as an example. 16, the case where the virtual helper application is a document registration assistant is shown as an example.

Referring to FIG. 15, in step S1402, when the user is using the user terminal 200 up to the work time of the company, the service server 100 stores the user as a user matching the task performed by the attendance helpers You can decide. In addition, the service server 100 may determine that the business event has occurred in the terminal 200 of the user. In this case, the work performed by the attendance attendance assistant may be a leave work registration or a night work registration.

If it is determined that a business event has occurred in the user terminal 200, the service server 100 may provide a chat interface including the virtual helper application as a conversation to the user terminal (S1403). For example, the service server 100 may transmit a work time notification message 1501 of the attendance assistant through the chat interface 1500 to the user terminal 200. If the user is still using the user terminal 200 after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the attendance registration assistant can generate a message 1502 inquiring whether or not to register the nighttime registration. The service server 100 may transmit the message 1502 of the attendance registration assistant to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface 1500 in operation S1404.

The service server 100 may receive the user's chat message in response to the message 1502 generated from the user terminal 200 (S1405). In this example, the service server 100 may receive the night time start message 1503 and the night time end message 1505 from the user's terminal 200 via the chat interface 1500 as a user's chat message. For the user's nighttime start message 1503, the attendee registration helper may generate a message 1504 to determine the nighttime time point.

The service server 100 may control the virtual helper application to perform a predetermined task based on the chat messages 1503 and 1505 (S1406). Alternatively, the service server 100 may use the conversation contents including the generated messages 1502 and 1504, as well as the chat messages 1503 and 1505, in order to control the predetermined task performance of the virtual helper application.

For example, the attendee registration assistant can calculate the user's leisure time based on the time at which the nighttime start message 1503 was received and the time at which the nighttime end message 1505 was received. In addition, the attendance registering assistant can record the user's nighttime and overnight time on the service server 100 or the intranet server.

The service server 100 may transmit a predetermined task execution result of the virtual helper application to the user terminal 200 (S1407). That is, in the above example, the service server 100 may transmit a message 1506 about the night time calculation result and nighttime registration registration to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface 1500.

In the meantime, even when the operation performed by the user terminal 200 corresponds not only to the simple use state of the user terminal 200 but also to the predetermined business event, Can be determined to have occurred. For example, when the user terminal 200 receives a predetermined data processing command during execution of a specific program, the service server 100 determines in step S1402 that a business event has occurred in the user terminal 200 can do.

In FIG. 16, the case where the program that the user terminal 200 is executing is the document creating program 1600, and the user is executing the document 1610 through the document creating program 1600 is shown as an example. At this time, when the user inputs a storage command for storing the document 1610 in the user terminal 200, the document creating program 1600 stores the document 1610 on the contents 1611 of the document 1610 A pop-up window 1612 can be provided for confirmation. When the user inputs a document save command 1613 in the pop-up window 1612, the user terminal 200 may store the document 1610 in the storage unit 240. The service server 100 may detect the document storage operation of the user terminal 200. [

The service server 100 may determine whether the operation performed by the user terminal 200 corresponds to a preset business event. For this purpose, the service server 100 may store the operation of the user terminal 200 corresponding to the business event in advance. In addition, the service server 100 may match and store business events performed by various virtual helper applications according to the operation of the user terminal 200. [

In this example, when the document 1610 is stored, the service server 100 may determine that a business event has occurred in the user terminal 200 (S1402). That is, the document storing operation is stored in advance in the service server 100 as a business event performed by the document registration assistant 1620.

The service server 100 may transmit the upload messages 1621 and 1624 for the document 1610 of the document registration helper 1620 to the user terminal 200 through the chat interface 1605 in operation S1404. That is, the document registration assistant 1620 may generate a message 1621 that inquires whether to upload the stored document 1610 on the service server 100 or the intranet server. Or the document registration helper 1620 may provide a message 1624 querying whether to upload the document 1610 to the personal cloud server that is connected via the Internet communication with the user's terminal 200. [

The service server 100 may receive the chat messages 1622 and 1625 of the user responding to the messages 1621 and 1624 (S1405). In this example, the service server 100 uploads the document 1610 to the intranet server (1622) from the user's terminal 200 via the chat interface 1500, but does not upload the document 1610 to the cloud server 1625 may receive the message.

The service server 100 may upload the document 1610 to the intranet server based on the conversation contents including the chat messages 1622 and 1625 and the generated messages 1621 and 1624, (S1406).

The service server 100 may transmit messages 1623 and 1626 to the terminal 200 of the user through the chat interface 1605 as to whether or not the document 1610 is uploaded.

17 is a flowchart illustrating a method for a virtual helper application participating in a chat interface according to another embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 17, a case where the first virtual helper application participates in the chat interface during a chat between the user and the other party via the chat interface on the instant messenger will be described.

The service server 100 may provide a chat interface for chatting between the user and the other party to the user terminal 200 and the other party's terminal 300 (S1701). The service server 100 may receive the chat message from the terminal 200 of the user and the terminal 300 of the other party through the chat interface (S1702). In addition, the service server 100 may recognize the task-related content among the chat messages (S1703).

The service server 100 may add the virtual helper application corresponding to the recognized task related content to the chat interface as a dialogue (S1704).

18 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a method for confirming a task of a virtual helper application added as a conversation to a chat interface. In FIG. 18, a chat interface 1800 for chatting with the user "Park" and the other party "Kim Dae Lee" is shown as an example. Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 18, a case where the virtual helper application added to the conversation in the chat interface 1800 is a conference schedule registration assistant will be described.

Referring to FIG. 18, through the chat interface 1800, the "flower shop" and "Kim Dae Ri" can exchange a chat message 1801 with respect to completion of the presentation data. The service server 100 may receive the chat message 1801. [ At this time, the chat message 1801 includes text "conference" 1802 and text "Tuesday" 1803 and "conference"

The service server 100 may recognize the text "conference" 1802 and the text "Tuesday" 1803 and "conference" 1804 as business related content. In addition, the service server 100 can determine a meeting schedule registration assistant as a virtual helper application corresponding to the recognized business-related contents. For this purpose, the service server 100 may match various virtual assistant applications according to work related contents and store them in advance.

The service server 100 may add the determined virtual helper application to the chat interface 1800 as a conversation (S1704). Accordingly, the conference schedule registration assistant can participate in the chat interface 1800 as a conversation (1805).

In the above example, the service server 100 can determine whether the task of the meeting schedule registration assistant can be confirmed based on the chat message 1801. [ For example, in order for a meeting schedule registration assistant to register a meeting schedule, information such as a conference room reservation, a meeting date, a meeting time, an attendee, and the like may be required. The service server 100 may determine whether the information of the business related contents 1802, 1803, and 1804 recognized from the chat message 1801 includes all the required information.

If the service server 100 can not determine the task of the meeting schedule registration assistant based on the chat message 1801, the service server 100 can determine whether there is additional information for job confirmation. In FIG. 18, since the information on the chat message 1801 is only meeting date information determined on Tuesday, the service server 100 can determine that additional information exists to confirm the task of the meeting schedule registration assistant. Additional information required here may be conference room availability, meeting time, and attendee information.

The service server 100 may generate a query message to acquire additional information if additional information is present. The service server 100 may transmit the generated query message to the terminal 200 of the user and the terminal 300 of the other terminal through the chat interface 1800. [

For example, the service server 100 may generate query messages (1806, 1808, 1810) of the meeting schedule registration assistant. The inquiry message 1806 is a query message for whether or not a conference room is reserved, and the inquiry message 1808 is a message for inquiring a meeting time. In addition, the query message 1810 may be a message requesting attendee designation.

The service server 100 may further receive chat messages 1807, 1809, and 1811 responding to query messages 1806, 1808, and 1810 from the terminal 200 of the user or the terminal 300 of the other party. The service server 100 can determine the task of the meeting schedule registration helper based on the chat message 1801 and the received chat messages 1807, 1809, and 1811. Meeting Schedule The registration assistant can perform the confirmed tasks. For example, the meeting schedule registration assistant can register the conference schedule (1812) on the bulletin board on the service server 100 or the intranet server.

In addition, when the task of the meeting schedule registration helper is determined, the service server 100 can announce the schedule of the registration meeting to the attendant (1813).
