Here, different colors may be displayed in different colors so that different keywords 'Starbucks' and '10 o'clock' can be distinguished from each other, or displayed in different thicknesses, or displayed in different fonts, etc. .

3 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an apparatus for providing an app list according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the app list providing apparatus 300 may include an input unit 310, a communication unit 320, a processing unit 330, and a display unit 340.

Here, the app list providing apparatus 300 may be a terminal capable of receiving and displaying various web page data via a wired / wireless communication network according to a user's operation, and may be a smart phone, a tablet, Computer, desktop computer, laptop computer, notebook, workstation, PDA, portable computer, wireless phone, mobile phone, e A portable multimedia player (PMP), a portable game device, a navigation device, a black box, a digital camera, a television, a wearable device, But is not limited thereto.

The input unit 310 receives a user's input and may be a touch pad, a touch pad, a key pad, a dome switch, a physical button, a jog shuttle a jog shuttle, and a sensor, but is not limited thereto.

The communication unit 320 performs data transmission and reception through at least one of wired communication and wireless communication and includes a local area network (LAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a wide area network (WAN) And the like. For example, the communication method may be a long term evolution (LTE), a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), a code division multiple access (CDMA), a global system for mobile communications (GSM) but are not limited to, wireless fidelity, bluetooth, and near field communications (NFC).

The processing unit 330 determines a keyword based on a message received and provided or input to the application list providing apparatus 300 and includes one or more applications for displaying on the display unit 340 based on the determined keyword And may include a keyword determination unit 331, an application list determination unit 332, an application display control unit 333, and a user attribute determination unit 334.

The keyword determining unit 331 determines one or more keywords in a message received and provided or input to the app list providing apparatus 300. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the determined one or more keywords may be displayed separately from other parts in the message.

For example, the keyword determiner 331 can recognize a named entity through NER (Named Entity Recognition) in the provided message, and can display the attribute of the keyword displayed in the message through the display unit 340 It is possible to make the display separately. For example, a keyword corresponding to a place, a keyword corresponding to a person, and a keyword corresponding to a time can be displayed so that the user can distinguish the keyword, thereby knowing which keyword is recognized in the message. Also, in the case of a keyword that can not be recognized through object name recognition or the like, even if the object name is recognized as a keyword, it may not be displayed separately. For example, if a body part is recognized, but there is no app that can utilize it, such an object name may not be separately displayed as a keyword.

In addition, when the user selects one or more keywords determined in the message, the user can show a list of related applications, and the selected keywords can be displayed separately. The selectable keywords included in the message may be displayed separately to indicate that the user can select the keyword.

For example, when a single keyword is present in a message or when a user selects one or more keywords in a message in which a plurality of keywords exist, the selected keyword may be displayed separately from other parts of the message. For example, among the messages displayed in black letters, a plurality of keywords may be displayed in blue, and keywords selected by the user may be displayed in different colors such as red, or may be displayed to be distinguished through bold or the like. As described above, one or more keywords determined through the user's input among a plurality of keyword candidates through various methods can be displayed so as to be distinguishable from the remaining keyword candidates.

On the other hand, if the message contains only one keyword, does not need to be displayed separately, has a complex linkage of the plural keywords, uses another keyword other than the keyword of the given message, or does not want to display the keyword arbitrarily, You do not need to separate the keywords.

The app list determining unit 332 determines an app list including one or more apps to be displayed on the display unit 340 based on the keywords determined by the keyword determining unit 331. [

If a single number of keywords selected or determined in the keyword determining unit 331 or a single number of keywords existing in the message are meaningful for constructing the app list, an application list concentrated thereon can be configured. For example, if the message is " Meet at Starbucks ", an app list including related apps that have a service that can be provided using a specific place keyword " Starbucks "

For example, if there are two or more keywords in the message, the apps included in the app list can be displayed separately for a keyword. For example, the message "Let's meet at 10 o'clock in Starbucks" is the location-based service application A using only the place keyword "Starbucks" and the application B related to the scheduling service using both "Starbucks" . At this time, it is applied to the service related apps A and B using the separated display corresponding to the place keyword, and the display indicating the time is applied only to the service related app B using time so that the user can know which keyword Can be easily identified.

In addition, an app list composed of a plurality of keywords can be changed to an app list concentrated on one keyword by a user's selection. For example, when only a place keyword is selected in a message including a place keyword and a time keyword, only an app list related to a place is displayed and displayed. At this time, the updated app list is continuously applied to display the selected keyword, It can be informed that it is a list of apps related to the keyword.

The app display control unit 333 determines how the app list determined by the app list determining unit 332 is displayed on the display unit 340 and controls the app list.

The application display control unit 333 controls a user interface (UI) or a user experience (UX) method for effective application display or arrangement based on the type of application, category, execution method, link information, The display method of the application list provided to the user through the display unit 340 will be described in detail through the following embodiments.

The user attribute determination unit 334 determines the attribute of the user through the user attribute related information received through the input unit 310 or the communication unit 320 or stored in a separate sensor or the app list providing apparatus 300 do. Here, the user attribute information may include user profile information including user biometric information, age, weight, sex, and key of the user, user message conversation information, user preference information, user activity information, User context information including information, and the like, and the like.

The user biometric information may be at least one of a pulse rate, a blood pressure, a calorie consumption amount, a sweat secretion amount, a body temperature, a breathing state, an oral state, an EMG, an electrocardiogram, an electroencephalogram, a fingerprint, an iris, a stress index, And may include various other physical and emotional information.

The app list determining unit 332 can determine apps to be included in the app list based on at least one of the user attributes determined by the user attribute determining unit 334 and the keywords determined by the keyword determining unit 331, Based on the user attributes determined by the user attribute determination unit 334. [0216]

For example, the user attribute determination unit 334 determines the user's emotion based on the user biometric information provided in the app list providing apparatus 300, and determines whether the user's emotion is included in the app list based on at least one of the emotion of the determined user and the determined keyword The user can determine the apps and change the configuration of the currently displayed app list based on the user's emotion determined by the user attribute determination unit 334. [

Lastly, the display unit 340 serves to output data and information to the user, such as a message or an app list, as described above. The display unit 340 may include a liquid crystal display (LCD), a light emitting diode (LED) but are not limited to, light emitting diode (OLED) displays, organic LED displays, micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) displays, and electronic paper displays. In addition, the display unit 340 may be combined with the input unit 310 and implemented in the form of a touch screen.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an application list providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The operation of each step of the process of the method of providing an app list according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

First, a message can be received from a conversation partner via a message-related app or program installed in the app list providing device 300. [ (S410) Generally, a message input from the other party can be received, but it can also include receiving a message inputted by the user himself / herself.

It is possible to extract one or more keywords through processing such as entity name recognition (NER) of the message provided to the app list providing device 300. [ (S420), the keyword candidates are extracted by determining whether a specific keyword, word, or specific attribute is included according to a predetermined criterion through text analysis of the message.

The keyword may be finally determined based on a predetermined criterion among the keyword candidates, or the keyword may be finally determined based on external information such as user input. (S430). For example, when the number of keyword candidates is three or more in the provided message and the number of final keywords is predetermined as a predetermined criterion, the number of keyword candidates may be set to a predetermined value in consideration of the high frequency of the keyword candidates, The number of keywords can be determined. It would also be possible to represent keyword candidates in a message and finally determine one or more keywords based on user input. In addition, if there is only one keyword candidate, a single keyword candidate can be determined as the final keyword without involvement of user input or other processing. In addition, even if there is no suitable keyword candidate in the message, the keyword can be selected and determined based on the user specification or input.

An app list containing one or more apps may be determined and displayed based on one or more determined keywords. (S440) The app list may be disposed at a suitable position such that the user can easily check the message on the lower or upper side of the message during message confirmation. The form of the list of apps can be displayed together with the icon representing each app and the name of the app, and can be displayed in the form of an app link that launches the app when the app is clicked. Further, for example, by displaying the keyword on the upper side or the side of the app list, it is possible to display which keyword is associated with the app list.

In addition, when a plurality of keywords are determined, the list of apps related to each keyword can be displayed so that they can be distinguished from each other. For example, each of the app lists associated with each keyword may be displayed so that they can be distinguished from each other based on at least one of the color, font, and position of the related keyword.

In addition, the app list can be displayed by classifying a plurality of apps according to the type or category of the app, and can be displayed so as to include a plurality of apps in the folder by category. In addition, apps having a specific attribute in the app list may be accompanied by a separate identification mark. For example, an advertisement (AD) indication may appear separately so that the advertisement-related application can be distinguished from other applications.

Also, at least one of the app lists may include a marker or an indication of the attribute of each app. For example, markers indicating whether to download, include deep link information, search for a hash tag (#), or the like may be displayed, for example, in the upper right corner of the app icon so that the user can easily identify the attribute of the app. For example, in the case of an app that is not stored or installed in the user device among the apps included in the app list, markers for indicating installability or installation need to be displayed, and when the user selects the app, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > and / or < / RTI >

Also, at least some apps in the app list may include deep link information that includes direct links to specific pages, specific content, etc. in the app. Deep linking refers to a protocol that allows a specific value to be passed to each specific page among different apps. For example, the web URL "http://map.naver.com/local/siteview.nhn?code=19585783" is a link to a specific location on the Naver map website.

Web URLs typically have a prefix of "http: //" or "https: //". Likewise, mobile applications can provide services through their own prefixes. For example, Youtube, which is a video providing site, has a prefix of youtube: //.

If you want to run a Naver application in a mobile application and provide a specific service, refer to "http://developer.naver.com/wiki/pages/UrlScheme" and use "naversearchapp: // command parameter = option & version = version" The same deep link can be created and provided to the user. Likewise, other mobile applications also provide guidance documents on how to create deep links that start with a specific prefix for each application.

The deep link database (DB, Database) is a database of protocols for creating deep links for each mobile application. In other words, a prefix and a variable name for creating a deep link are built in a deep link DB in advance, and a deep link is created by using a keyword extracted from a message when a deep link is created, Deep link information can be utilized.

On the other hand, when the conversation message of the other party is being input, the conversation message of the other party may be displayed in the indication area of the upper part of the display unit or the other part, .

From the list of apps listed below, the user can select an app and run the selected app. (S450) The user can execute an application to be executed from an application list through an input operation such as touch. For example, if the user selected application is not stored or installed in the user device, the application may be executed after the installation of the corresponding application is performed first.

Further, when one application is selected through the touch input of the user, the authentication operation related to the selected app may be executed together with the selection of the application. For example, when payment for internet electronic commerce or self-authentication is required, the user authentication operation can be executed simultaneously with the execution of the corresponding application through touch input by clicking the application.

In addition, if the app includes deep link information, a deep link corresponding to the selected app may be executed to display a specific page or specific content in the app directly.

Also, based on the selection of the user's app, at least one of the unselected apps included in the app list may be changed to another app or the order of the apps may be changed. For example, at least one of the unselected apps included in the app list may be changed to another app or the order of the apps may be changed based on at least one of the type of the selected app, the characteristics of the selected app, . ≪ / RTI >

Also, a step of recommending a conversation message to be transmitted to the conversation partner based on the selection and execution of the specific application of the user, which is not shown yet, may be performed. For example, when a specific menu is selected through an application list configured by extracting keywords related to a meal, and a restaurant is selected for a specific menu through the restructured application list, a recommendation list of a conversation message is inquired about which restaurant to select Can be displayed. Further, the configuration of the subsequent list of apps can be newly determined according to the selection content of the conversation recommendation list.

5 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a method of displaying an app list based on a plurality of keywords according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A 'luggage back' 511 and a 'mobile phone' 512 having attributes of a product in a sentence of 'a luggage bag and a mobile phone buyer' displayed in a message window 510 can be determined as keywords, The first keyword 'luggage back' 511 and the second keyword 'mobile phone' 512 may be displayed in different colors, displayed in different thicknesses, displayed in different fonts or the like, .

If there are a plurality of keywords thus determined, the list of apps related to each keyword can be displayed so that they can be distinguished from each other. For example, each of the app lists associated with each keyword may be displayed so that they can be distinguished from each other based on at least one of the color, font, and position of the related keyword.

5, an app list 520 including five apps is shown, and the number of apps included in the app list 520 can be variously changed according to the size of the display, user setting, convenience, and the like . Here, the app list 521 related to the first keyword 'luggage back' 511 includes, for example, Naver, Mango style, Gmarket, SSG app, (S) 522 may include, for example, an Instagram app. At this time, in order to easily identify which keyword is associated with each of the apps included in the app list 520, the color of the border of the square shape surrounding each app can be matched with the color of the related keyword. For example, The ridge back 511 as a keyword is displayed in blue and the border of each app in the app list 521 related to the luggage back 511 is displayed in blue and the second keyword, The display unit 512 is displayed in red and the border of the app in the app list 522 related to the 'cell phone' 512 is displayed in red so that each of the apps included in the app list 520 You can judge at a glance.

Further, by displaying the font of the name of the app displayed in the lower part of the app included in the app list 520 in the same font as the font of the related keyword, it is possible to distinguish the apps related to the different keywords from one another. The apps related to the first keyword 'luggage back' 511 located on the left side in the app list 520 are arranged on the left in the app list 520 and the apps related to the second keyword ' '512 are arranged on the right side in the application list 520 and the boundaries of the boundaries of the apps related to the respective keywords are displayed so that each of the apps included in the app list 520 is associated with a keyword It is also possible to display it.

In FIG. 5, although the sizes of the apps included in the app list 520 are all the same, the sizes of the apps can be flexibly changed according to the number of apps related to each keyword. For example, if the number of apps related to the first keyword is larger than the number of apps related to the second keyword, it is also possible to display the size of the app associated with the first keyword smaller than the size of the app associated with the second keyword.

6 is an exemplary diagram illustrating an app list display method having a marker for displaying an attribute of an app according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6, for at least one of the apps included in the app list, a marker indicating the property of each app can be displayed at the upper right of the icon for displaying the app. In FIG. 6, the markers indicating the attributes of the app are displayed at the upper right corner of the app icon. However, the markers may be variously arranged in the app icon or in a range adjacent to the app icon, such as the lower right corner, the upper center, and the lower center.

Here, the attributes of the app may include whether to download, include a deep link, search for a hash tag (#), and the like. Referring to FIG. 6, an associated application list 620 may be provided under a keyword display unit 610 that displays 'Vatos' determined as a keyword in the provided message. Of the apps included in the app list 620, the apps are not installed in the upper right corner of the app in the case of the poing and the dining code which are not installed or installed in the user device, and the app can be downloaded The downloading marker 621 may be displayed.
