The word "comprising" in the specification does not exclude other elements unless specifically stated otherwise, but also means that other elements may be additionally included.

1 is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus for performing a message service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, the message server 101, the user terminal 102, the counterpart terminal 103, the search servers 104-1 to 104-N, the scrap server 105 and the program servers 106-1 , ..., 106-N are shown. In the present invention, a terminal performing a search through a message application may be a counterpart terminal 103 participating in a chat room as well as a user terminal 102. Information on the search result data derived through the search word is displayed through a template distinguished from a speech balloon or speech balloon, so that the user terminal 102 participating in the chat room and the counterpart terminal 103 can confirm the search result together.

The user terminal 102 and the counterpart terminal 103 can participate in the chat room created by the message server 101 and exchange instant messages. To this end, the user terminal 102 or the counterpart terminal 103 can create an instant message through a message application distributed from the message server 101 or the message server 101 and another server.

The instant messages may be displayed in the chat window displayed on the screen of the user terminal 102 and the counterpart terminal 103 participating in the chatting room. Such a chat room may be any one of a 1: 1 chat room or a group chat room.

Hereinafter, the process of searching through the message application centered on the user terminal 102 will be described. The following description can be applied to the counterpart terminal 103 as well.

The messaging application is an application that can exchange instant messages inputted in the message input window between the user terminal 102 and the counterpart terminal 103 that have participated in the chatting room. According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is necessary to distinguish whether the instant message input in the message input window of the message application is a general chat content or a search word.

For example, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the user terminal 102 desires to perform a search through a message application, a process of switching a message application from a chat mode to a search mode may be required. The instant message input through the message input window displayed in the chat window of the message application after switching from the chat mode to the search mode can be utilized as a search word. This will be described with reference to FIG.

Alternatively, according to another embodiment of the present invention, when the user terminal 102 desires to perform a search through a message application, a search request to perform a search using an instant message input to the message application, You can also create it directly. This will be described with reference to FIG.

The user terminal 102 can identify the instant message input through the message input window of the message application. In addition, the user terminal 102 can identify the selected proposal word among the proposal queries of the proposal word list displayed in association with the message input window. The user terminal 102 may then send a search request to the search server, which, in response to the user's input to the messaging application, sets all or part of the identified instant message or proposal query to the search term.

Here, the proposal word list is displayed on the area adjacent to the message input window or overlaid on the message input window when the user inputs (touch, drag, swipe, or the like) in a state where nothing is input in the message input window Can be displayed. Alternatively, the proposal query word list may be displayed in an area adjacent to the message input window when the user inputs an instant message in the message input window, or may be overlaid on the message input window. Each time a keyword constituting an instant message is input, the proposal word list can be changed corresponding to the keyword.

The user terminal 102 may deliver the search word entered into the message application to each of the one or more search servers 104-1, ..., 104-N. At this time, the user terminal 102 may generate a search query including a search term and transmit it to each of the one or more search servers 104-1,..., 104-N.

In one example, the user terminal 102 may communicate the search term to a gateway server connected to a plurality of search servers 104-1, ..., 104-N. The gateway server may forward the search query to a plurality of search servers 104-1, ..., 104-N. Thereafter, the gateway server may collect the search result data from the plurality of search servers 104-1, ..., 104-N and transmit it to the user terminal 102. [

In another example, the user terminal 102 may pass the search query directly to the plurality of search servers 104-1, ..., 104-N without going through the gateway server. In another example, the user terminal 102 may deliver the query to the message server 101. Then, the message server 101 can deliver the search word received from the user terminal 102 to one or a plurality of search servers 104-1, ..., 104-N. Also in this case, the message server 101 may transmit the search word received from the user terminal 102 to one or a plurality of search servers 104-1, ..., 104-N via the gateway server. In addition, if the user designates the search server separately, the user terminal 102 can deliver the search word to the search server designated by the user.

After that, the user terminal 102 receives search result data directly from one or a plurality of search servers 104-1, ..., 104-N, or receives search result data through a gateway server or message server 101 . A plurality of search result data can be derived through a search word.

The search result data may include at least one of link (URL) information capable of accessing a web page corresponding to a search word or collection information crawled from a web page corresponding to the search term. The search result data can be classified into categories such as news, images, videos, blogs, cafes, books, shopping, and music.

In one example, the user terminal 102 may share information about the search result data in the chat room. The user terminal 102 can directly display the information on the search result data in the chat room accessed through the message application.

For example, the information on the search result data may include (i) a chat room in which a search request is generated, (ii) a chat room other than the chat room where the search request is generated, (iii) (iv) at least one of the chat rooms to be newly created. At this time, the user terminal 102 may display information on at least one search result data corresponding to a specific category in the chat room.

In another example, the user terminal 102 may display a plurality of page views for each category to which the search result data derived through the search term is mapped. Specifically, the user terminal 102 processes the search result data derived through the search word and displays a plurality of page views for each category to which the search result data is mapped, thereby allowing the user to select the search result data belonging to a specific category .

Here, the page view refers to an interface in which the search result data is mapped and displayed so that the user can select the search result data derived from the instant message inputted through the message application or the search word set as the suggested search word selected from the suggested search word list.

The user terminal 102 may display a page view in which search result data is mapped to an upper layer of the chat window. The user terminal 102 may process the search result data into a chatting room-optimized form and display it through a page view. The category of the page view to which the search result data is mapped can be determined according to the category of the search result data. That is, the user terminal 102 may display a plurality of page views for each category to which search result data is mapped.

For example, when a user requests sharing of at least one search result data displayed in a page view of a particular category through a plurality of pageviews per category, the user terminal 102 transmits a sharing request for at least one search result data To the message server 101 or to at least one search server. Then, the message server 101 can deliver a message including information on at least one search result data to the chat room. At this time, the information on the search result data may include summary data including at least one of a title, a representative image, a description, and a link of the search result data.

The user terminal 102 can confirm the form of the speech balloon or the template on which the information on the search result data is to be displayed based on the type of the search result data. Thereafter, the user terminal 102 may expose a speech bubble or template with information about the search result data to the chat room associated with the sharing request.

At this time, the user terminal 102 may display information about at least one search result data and a search word together. The user terminal 102 displays information about the search result data and the search word together so that it is easy to grasp which query the information on the search result data is derived from.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a sharing request of information about search result data is transmitted to a search server, information about search result data is transmitted to search server 104 together with information on chat rooms or participant information of chat rooms Lt; / RTI > Alternatively, when information on search result data is displayed, information on a chat room or participant information on a chat room may be transmitted from the message server 101 to the user terminal 102.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the search result data for a search term is related to a program provided through the web or an application when the search server 104 searches for the search term, (I) displaying a web page on which a program is executed through a message application or a web browser provided by the server, and (ii) displaying an application in which the program is executed.

Here, when the user terminal 102 accesses the chat room through the message application, the search term may be all or part of the instant message input in the message input window of the chat window. Alternatively, the search term may be a selected one of the suggested search terms in the suggested search word list displayed in association with the message input window.

At this time, the user terminal 102 can use the program through the web or the app even if the program corresponding to the search word is not installed. On the other hand, the web or the application on which the program is executed may be a result of reflecting the information on the chat room where the search is performed or the information on the participants of the chat room where the search is performed.

As a result, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user terminal 102 may communicate with the counterpart terminal 103 through the chat application while searching the message application while interacting with the counterpart terminal 103 in real- ). Thus, according to the present invention, the user terminal 102 can perform a direct search through a message application currently in progress, without switching to an application such as a web browser for performing a search from a message application. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the search result data is provided as a page view so that the user can more easily select the search result data.

In addition, according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the search result data can be displayed on the speech bubble or the template which is optimized in the chat window of the user terminal, the search result data can be shared without any sense of difference in the chat window.

On the other hand, when a search word input through the message application is mapped to a web or a program executed in the application, the user terminal 102 may display a web page on which the program is executed or may execute the program through the application. At this time, the web or the application on which the program is executed may be determined differently according to the information about the chat room in which the user terminal 102 participates or the participant information in the chat room.

At step 201, the user terminal 102 may obtain a search term via a message application. At this time, the user terminal 102 can identify the selected proposal word among the proposal queries of the displayed proposal word list in association with the instant message or the message input window input through the message input window of the message application. The user terminal 102 may then acquire all or a portion of the identified instant message or proposal query as a search term in response to a user's input to the message application.

For example, the user terminal 102 may acquire all or a part of the instant message input in the message input window after the message application is switched from the chat mode to the search mode. Alternatively, after the message application is switched from the chat mode to the search mode, the user terminal 102 may acquire all or a part of the selected proposal query among the proposal queries of the proposal query list displayed in cooperation with the message input window, have.

As another example, if there is a search request for the instant message input in the message input window, the user terminal 102 may acquire the instant message included in the search request as a search word.

At step 202, the user terminal 102 may send a search request to the search server 104 that includes a search term set to all or a portion of the instant message or proposal query identified through the messaging application. Here, the search request may be a request to select or input an identifier related to switching to the search mode of the message application, and to forward all or a part of the instant message input in the message input window to the search server.

Alternatively, when the search request is inputting an instant message in the message input window of the message application or after selecting the identifier for the search request after reflecting the instant message in the chat history, the search request is transmitted to the search server Request. The retrieval request may be a request for delivering to the retrieval server a suggested retrieval word selected from a list of proposed retrieval words displayed in conjunction with the message input window.

The search request may include not only the search word but also information about the chat room where the search was performed or information about the participants of the chat room where the search was performed.

In step 203, the search server 104 may forward a plurality of search result data corresponding to the search term to the user terminal 102. [ At this time, the plurality of search result data may be generated on the basis of the information on the chat room on which the search received from the user terminal 102 was performed or on the participants of the chat room where the search was performed.

Then, at step 204, the user terminal 102 may display a page view that exposes search result data. Search result data derived through a search word may be mapped to a plurality of page views for each category. Here, the category may be set so that the page view corresponds to the category mapped to the search result data. That is, when user's input such as dragging or swiping is applied to a plurality of pageviews per category, a pageview in which search result data belonging to different categories are mapped is switched according to a user's input and displayed on the screen have.

At step 205, the user terminal 102 may communicate to the message server 101 a sharing request for at least one search result data through a plurality of pageviews per category.

At step 206, the message server 101 may communicate information about the at least one search result data requested to be shared to the user terminal 102. At this time, the message server 101 can transmit information on the search result data requested to be shared with the chat room. At this time, when information on the search result data is shared, information on the chat room or information on the participants of the chat room may be transmitted.

At step 207, the user terminal 102 may display information regarding at least one search result data. For example, the user terminal 102 may display information about at least one search result data in a chat room associated with the search query or in a chat room associated with the sharing request through a template distinct from a speech balloon or balloon. Alternatively, in another example, the user terminal 102 may display information about search result data via a web browser separate from the messaging application.

Meanwhile, the user terminal 102 can confirm the type of the search result data received from the message server 101. The user terminal 102 may determine the form of the speech balloon or the template to which the search result data is to be displayed according to the type of the search result data. This will be described with reference to FIG.

At step 301, the user terminal 102 may obtain a search term through a message application. At this time, the user terminal 102 can identify the selected proposal word among the proposal queries of the displayed proposal word list in association with the instant message or the message input window input through the message input window of the message application. The user terminal 102 may then acquire all or a portion of the identified instant message or proposal query as a search term in response to a user's input to the message application.

For example, the user terminal 102 may acquire all or a part of the instant message input in the message input window after the message application is switched from the chat mode to the search mode. Alternatively, after the message application is switched from the chat mode to the search mode, the user terminal 102 may acquire all or a part of the selected proposal query among the proposal queries of the proposal query list displayed in cooperation with the message input window, have.

As another example, if there is a search request for the instant message input in the message input window, the user terminal 102 may acquire the instant message included in the search request as a search word.

At step 302, the user terminal 102 may send a search request to the message server 101 that includes the search term. At this time, the user terminal 102 may transmit the search word and the search indicator together with the message server 101 to distinguish the message to be transmitted to the message server 101 through the message application. Here, the search indicator may be at least one of a symbol, a number, a character, and a graphic representing that the instant message obtained through the message application is a search word, not a general message to be exchanged with the participants through the chat room.

In step 303, the message server 101 may forward the search request received from the user terminal 102 to the search server 104. At this time, information on the chat room in which the search is performed together with the search word or information on the participants of the chat room in which the search is performed can be transmitted.

In step 304, the search server 104 may forward the plurality of search result data corresponding to the search term to the message server 101. [ Then, in step 305, the message server 101 may forward the plurality of search result data received from the search server 104 to the user terminal 102. [ Unlike steps 304 and 305, the search server 104 may forward the search result data to the user terminal 102 without going through the message server 101.

At this time, the search result data may be generated on the basis of the information on the chat room on which the search received from the message server 101 was performed or on the participants of the chat room where the search was performed.

At step 306, the user terminal 102 may display a page view to which search result data is mapped. Search result data derived through a search word may be mapped to a plurality of page views for each category.

At step 307, the user terminal 102 may communicate to the message server 101 a request to share the search result data exposed through the page view.

In step 308, the message server 101 may communicate information about the search result data requested to be shared to the user terminal 102. [ At this time, the message server 101 can transmit the information about the search result data requested to be shared to the sharing target terminal. When requesting the sharing, information on the chat room or information on the participants of the chat room may be transmitted.

At step 309, the user terminal 102 may display information about the search result data. For example, the user terminal 102 may display information about the search result data in a chat room in which the search word is entered or in a chat room associated with the sharing request, through a template distinguished from a speech balloon or speech balloon. Alternatively, in another example, the user terminal 102 may display information about search result data via a web browser separate from the messaging application.

Meanwhile, the user terminal 102 can confirm the type of the search result data received from the message server 101. The user terminal 102 may determine the form of the speech balloon or the template to which the search result data is to be displayed according to the type of the search result data.

2 and 3, the search server 104 transmits at least one search result data of a plurality of search result data to the message server 101 (at least one of the plurality of search result data items) in accordance with at least one parameter of freshness, popularity, Or to the user terminal 102. When there are a plurality of search result data, information on the search result data may be transmitted to the message server 101 or the user terminal 102 in the form of a search collection.

At this time, the latestness is an attribute indicating how recently the search result data is generated from the point of time when the search word is entered into the message input window. The popularity is an attribute indicating how much the search result data derived from the search word is selected by the user (e.g., page access), the search result data is utilized (e.g., membership registration, product purchase, etc.). The degree of association with the search term is an attribute indicating how accurate the search result data derived from the search term is with the search term.

That is, the search result data can be selected based on the priority derived according to at least one parameter of the latestness of the search result data, popularity, and relevance to the search word. At this time, the probability that the search result data is provided to the user terminal 102 may be increased as the search result data is more recent, higher in popularity, or higher in relevance to the search term.

4 is a view for explaining operations of a scrap server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 4 illustrates a case in which the information on the search result data includes link information for accessing a web page. The user terminal 102 transmits the link information included in the information related to the search result data to the scrap server 105 so that the scrap server 105 accesses the web page corresponding to the link information, Can be obtained. Such link information may be transmitted to the scrap server 105 directly from the message server 101, not from the user terminal 102. [

As a result, the scrap server 105 accesses the web page corresponding to the search word through the link information and provides scrap information about the web page obtained to the user terminal 102. [

At step 401, the user terminal 102 may receive information regarding the search result data. For example, the information about the search result data may be transmitted according to a sharing request for the search result data through the page view to which the search result data is mapped. The process until receiving information on the search result data may correspond to the steps 201 to 206 or may correspond to the steps 301 to 308.

In step 402, the user terminal 102 can confirm the type of search result data from the message server 101. [

At this time, if the information about the search result data includes link information that can access the web page corresponding to the search term, the user terminal 102 transmits information about the search result data or the search result data To the scrap server (105).

At step 404, the scrap server 105 may access the page corresponding to the search term using the link information. Then, in step 405, the scrap server 105 may obtain scrap information about the page by performing scrap on the page. Scrap information can refer to elements of a page such as text, images, moving images, and the like. Specifically, the scrap information may mean metadata including at least one of a representative image, a description, and a title of a page extracted by the scrap server 105 on a page corresponding to the link information. Here, the process of scrapping pages by the scrap server 105 can be classified as follows.

(i) page analysis

The scrap server 105 may analyze the accessed page through the link information and obtain scrap information about the page such as the title of the page, a brief description, representative image, and the like. Specifically, the scrap server 105 can parse the HTML of the page and obtain scrap information such as the title, brief description, representative image, etc. of the page on the page.

(ii) use the page's metadata

The scrap server 105 may obtain scrap information from the page's metadata. The page's metadata can be expressed in code on the page.

(iii) a page snapshot

The scrap server 105 may capture all or part of the page to obtain an image for the page as scrap information for the page. That is, the scrap server 105 may take a snapshot of all or a part of connected pages through the link information, and obtain an image of the page as scrap information about the page.

Then, at step 406, the scrap server 105 may forward scrap information about the page to the user terminal 102. [ Thereafter, at step 407, the user terminal 102 may display the scrap information in the chat room. At this time, the user terminal 102 can display scrap information on a chat room through a template distinguished from a speech balloon or speech balloon.

Referring to FIG. 4, a case where the user terminal 102 confirms the type of search result data is described. However, depending on the embodiment, the message server 101 may directly check the type of the search result data, unlike the steps 401 and 402 described above. If the search result data includes link information for accessing a web page, the message server 101 can directly transmit the link information to the scrap server 105. [ At this time, the scrap server 105 accesses the page corresponding to the link information, performs scrapping to obtain scrap information about the page, and transmits the scrap information thus obtained to the user terminal 102 directly or through the message server 101, Lt; / RTI >

If the information about the search result data includes the link information of the web page corresponding to the search term, the user terminal 102 displays (i) only the summary information of the pages accessible via the link information, ii) display summary information of pages accessible via link information and link information. Here, the summary information of the page can be determined based on the scrap information collected by the scrap server 105.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, not only the link information is included in the search result data derived through the search request in the message application but also the link information such as URL is shared among the participants of the chat room regardless of the search in the message application . In this case, the link information shared in the chat room of the message application is directly transferred from the user terminal 102 to the scrap server 105 or from the user terminal 102 to the scrap server 105 via the message server 101 .

Then, the scrap server 105 accesses the page through the link information transmitted from the user terminal 102, scrapes the page to obtain scrap information for the page, and transmits scrap information about the page to the user terminal 102 Or may be delivered to the user terminal through the message server 101. Here, the scrap information may include at least one of a title, a description, and a representative image of a page.

Then, the link information shared between the participants of the chat room and the scrap information about the page delivered by the scrap server 105 may be displayed together in the chat room. Alternatively, only the scrap information about the page may be displayed in the chat room instead of the link information.

5 is a diagram illustrating a process of searching through a message application according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 5A shows a process of switching the message application from the chat mode to the search mode.

5, an identifier 501 (e.g., "#") for switching the message application from the chat mode to the search mode is displayed in the message input window displayed in the chat window. At this time, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the user selects the identifier 501, the message application can be switched from the chat mode to the search mode. Although not shown in FIG. 5, when the message application switches from the chat mode to the search mode, the "transfer" button of the message input window may be changed to a "search" button, or may be changed to images related to "search" .

On the other hand, after the message application is switched from the chat mode to the search mode, the message input window may be described with a character (#) associated with the search mode as a default. At this time, the character associated with the search mode may be a symbol or a character composed of at least one word specified separately by the user or the message application.

Alternatively, according to another embodiment of the present invention, even if the user does not select the identifier 501, when the user directly inputs an identifier such as a hash tag (#) into the message input window, the message application automatically enters the search mode .

5B shows a process of requesting a search by setting an instant message as a search word.

Specifically, FIG. 5B shows an identifier 503 for requesting a search by setting an instant message input in a message input window as a search word without the need for the message application to be switched from the chat mode to the search mode. When the user simply selects the identifier 503 after inputting the instant message corresponding to the search term in the message input window, the user terminal 102 can request the search server 104 to search with an instant message.

On the other hand, the identifier 503 may correspond to one search server. Alternatively, the identifier 503 may be extended to accommodate a plurality of search servers. For example, when the user clicks the identifier 503, the identifier 503 may be expanded to display icons corresponding to the plurality of search servers. Then, the user can set an instant message as a search word by selecting an icon, and designate a search server to search.

When the identifier 501 or the identifier 503 is selected in a state in which the search word is not inputted in the message input window in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the last displayed message among the messages displayed in the chat window is It can be determined as a search word.

On the other hand, the proposed query list 502 is shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. The user terminal 102 can display the proposed query list 502 in conjunction with the message input window. Specifically, the proposal query list 502 may be displayed when a user touches a message input window or enters a message input window such as a drag in a situation where an instant message is not input in the message input window. Alternatively, the suggested query word list 502 may be displayed corresponding to the input of an instant message in the message input window. At this time, if the content of the instant message is changed, the suggested query word list 502 may be adaptively changed according to the changed contents of the instant message. That is, the proposal query list 502 may be displayed when an instant message is input to the message input window or when a message input window is selected before an instant message is input to the message input window.

5A and 5B, the proposed query list 502 is displayed directly above the message input window. The present invention includes not only a case where the proposal query list 502 is displayed at a position adjacent to the message input window but also a case where the proposal query word list 502 is displayed at a position somewhat distant from the message input window. Alternatively, the suggested query word list 502 may be displayed overlaid on the message input window.

Although not shown in FIG. 5, an identifier indicating whether the proposal word included in the proposal word list has been previously selected may be displayed. For example, when a proposal term in the proposal term list is used as a term previously requested by the user, a specific term may be displayed around the proposal term.

In addition, an identifier for displaying a proposal term included in the proposal term list or displaying an additional term associated with the proposal term can be displayed. For example, if an identifier associated with "car" is selected with a proposal query word of "car", "color", or "clean" in the proposal query list, the proposal query list includes "car" Only proposal queries can be included.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the suggested search word list 502 includes (i) an associated query that includes or is associated with an instant message entered in a message input window, (ii) (Iii) a recommendation query derived by analyzing an instant message displayed in the chat history of the message application, (iv) a message input window A latest search term derived from the recently input instant message, or (v) a past search term that has been searched through the instant application. The proposed query list may be obtained from the search server 104. Depending on the embodiment, the suggested query term list may be obtained from the search history stored in the user terminal 102 that actually performed the search.

Furthermore, when the user selects a message input window without inputting a search word into the message input window, the suggested search word list 502 may be displayed. At this time, since the search word is not entered in the message input window, the suggested search word list 502 may include the suggested search terms (ii), (iii), and (iv) except for (i).

The associated search word may be a search word having a similar meaning to the keyword entered in the message input window after being switched to the search mode or a search word generated by adding at least one keyword before or after the keyword entered in the message input window . Alternatively, the associated search term may be another keyword that was entered a certain time after the keyword entered in the message input window. These keywords may be determined based on the time interval between statistically collected keywords. More specifically, if a search is made with the keyword "bad credit" immediately after the keyword "loan" is entered, then "loan" and "bad credit" may be related to each other.

The real-time popular search word may be a popular search word provided through the portal site when the keyword is inputted into the message input window after the mode is switched to the search mode. The real time popular search word can be changed according to the time when the keyword is inputted into the message input window.

The recommendation word may be a keyword derived by analyzing the contents of the message that was input before the conversion into the search mode. At this time, the recommendation word can be derived by dividing the contents of messages transmitted and received between the participants of the chat room according to time intervals. The contents of the message can be divided into a plurality of keywords through parsing. Then, the user terminal 102 applies a natural language process, a machine learning, a statistical technique, etc. to the extracted plurality of keywords to set a keyword that has been used as a search term among a plurality of keywords or is likely to be used as a search term, .

The latest search term may be the most recently entered search term at the time the search term was entered through the message input window after switching to the search mode. The temporal criteria for the latest may be set differently for each of the search server 104 or the user terminal 102. Or may be determined according to the setting of the user.

The past search term may refer to a search term used by the user to obtain information on the search result data before switching from the chat mode to the search mode according to the user's input.

The number of proposal words provided through the proposal word list 502 based on the size of the screen of the user terminal 102 can be adjusted. For example, when the user terminal 102 has a relatively small screen size such as a mobile terminal, the size of the screen, such as a monitor connected to the desktop, The number may be small.

In addition, the number of proposal words included in the proposal word list 502 is limited. Accordingly, the user terminal 102 may search for a related keyword, a recommended keyword, a real-time popular query, etc., which may be included in the proposal query list 502, according to a parameter such as a degree of similarity with a keyword input in a message input window, After sorting, a certain number of search terms can be included in the proposed query list 502.

6 is a diagram illustrating a process of searching through a message application according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

6A and 6B illustrate a process in which a chat window is switched to a search mode according to a user's interaction with a chat window during a user's input.

6A shows a process of switching from a chat mode to a search mode when a user swipes in a specific direction (ex. Top, bottom, left, right, diagonal, etc.) in the message input window 601. FIG. 6B shows a process of switching from the chat mode to the search mode when the user swipes in the specific direction at the edge 602 of the chat window.

6A and 6B, when the chat window is switched to the search mode, the user terminal 102 may represent variously that the chat window has been switched to the search mode. For example, the user terminal 102 displays a guidance message for the search mode "currently is a search mode" at the top of the chat window, or a button for transmitting a keyword inputted in the message input window is a button for searching It is possible to recognize whether or not the user is switched to the search mode.

Alternatively, the user terminal 102 displays a character associated with the search mode in the message input window 601 as a default, thereby recognizing the fact that the keyword input to the message input window 601 is a search word, .

6A and FIG. 6B, if a keyword is inputted into the message input window 601 after the chat window is switched to the search mode according to the user's interaction, the suggested query word list 502 is displayed on the message input window 601, Can be displayed in association with the display unit 601.

7 is a diagram illustrating a process of searching through a message application according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7A, the process of switching the chat window to the search mode when the user taps the wallpaper 701 of the chat window. Here, the desktop may refer to a remaining area other than the messages displayed in the chat window. 7A, it is possible to include all the various user's interactions that can be applied to the desktop 701 of the chat window such as click, drag, swipe, pinch in / out, and flick.

7B shows a process of switching the chat window to the search mode when the user selects the menu bar 702 displayed in a specific area of the chat window. The shape and position of the menu bar 702 can be variously changed.

The user terminal 102 may display variously that the chat window has been switched to the search mode after the user terminal 102 is switched to the search mode. The search can be performed through the search word after the chat window is switched to the search mode according to the user's interaction. For example, when a keyword is input to the message input window 501 after the search mode is switched, the suggested query word list 502 may be displayed in association with the message input window 501 as shown in FIG.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a process of displaying a page view in a chat window according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, the search server 104 may determine a plurality of search result data corresponding to a search word received from the user terminal 102. [ When the search server 104 transmits a plurality of search result data to the user terminal 102, the user terminal 102 may expose a pageview 801 for each category mapped to a plurality of search result data. The search result data corresponding to the search term means that the search result page in which the search term is searched from the search site is processed. That is, in the page view 801, search result data processed with a link, a site description, an image, and the like displayed on the search result page may be mapped, and the search result data may be provided to the user through the page view 801.

That is, the page view 801 refers to a result obtained by processing a search application, not a message application, or a search result page provided through a search site. The page view 801 may be displayed through a message application in which the search word is input or through a separate browser linked with the message application. That is, the page view 801 is displayed in a message application that provides a chat window, and may not be provided through another application. Alternatively, the page view 801 may be provided through another application that interfaces with a messaging application that provides a chat window. At this time, another application can be switched from the message application.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the search result data may include at least one of one or more link information that can access the retrieved page or a collection information that is crawled from one or more pages according to a search word. Such search result data can be classified into categories such as news, images, videos, blogs, cafes, books, shopping, and music.

The page view 801 can be distinguished from each other according to the category of each of the plurality of search result data. That is, the search result data for a search word may be divided into a plurality of categories. Here, the page view 801 displayed on the current screen of the user terminal may be mapped to the category of the search result page. Specifically, the search result page of the search term A can be divided into categories such as "news, blog, cafe, site, image, video ". In this case, the page view 801 displayed on the current screen of the user terminal through the messaging application or other application linked with the messaging application may be mapped to the category of the search result page. As described above, the page view 801 may map and display the processed search result data without mapping the search result page, which is the result of searching the search word through the search site or the search application.

When an instant message is input in the message input window and a search request is made or a suggested query is selected from among the suggested search terms in the suggested query list and a search request is made, the page view 801, which is first displayed on the screen of the user terminal 102, Corresponding to one category among a plurality of categories corresponding to the search result data derived through the search. Here, the specified one category may be determined differently for each search word. Specifically, the characteristics of the search results such as the popularity, the number, and the selection ratio of the search results mapped to the category may be different for each search word. Thus, one specified category corresponding to the page view 801 initially displayed on the screen of the user terminal 102 may be determined differently according to the search word.

The user terminal 102 may display pageviews 801 for each category mapped to a plurality of search result data corresponding to a search word. At this time, the page view 801 displayed on the screen of the user terminal 102 can be switched to the page view 801 corresponding to another category according to the interaction (ex. Swipe) of the user. Here, the page view 801 is switched. The page view 801 displayed on the current screen of the user terminal 102 is changed to the page view 801 mapped to the category determined according to the interaction direction of the user, May be displayed on the current screen of the display unit 102. That is, when the page view 801 is switched according to the user's interaction, the page views 801 corresponding to different categories can be exposed.

The sequence of the category corresponding to the page view may be determined differently according to the search word depending on the user's interaction. For example, the search term A may be switched to the page view 801 according to the category order of "news, site, image, video, blog", while the search term B is "blog, cafe, image, The page view 801 can be switched according to the category order.

The page view 801 includes an interface of a card type (card view) in which search result data is mapped so that the user can select search result data for sharing among chat search results corresponding to a search word, Lt; / RTI > In some embodiments, the page view 801 may be created in the search server 104 that derived the search result data or in the message server 101 that delivers the search result data.

At this time, the page view 801 can be displayed on the upper layer of the chat window. The page view 801 may include a search window 802 that can be further rediscovered from the search result data. In addition, the page view 801 may include a link (URL) that can be linked to a page corresponding to the search result data, and the user may select the link to search the search result data separately through the browser installed in the user terminal 102 Can be confirmed.

The page view 801 can be switched through an interaction such as a swipe of the user. As described above, search result data belonging to different categories can be exposed as the page view 801 is switched. In other words, the page view currently displayed in the chat window according to the user's interaction can be converted to a page view corresponding to search result data belonging to different categories (e.g., video, image, blog, etc.). The search result data corresponding to the search term may be plural. The user terminal 102 groups and displays search result data belonging to the same category through a page view so that the user can more easily select the search result data through the page view 801. [

Or the page view corresponding to the search result data derived from different search words may be switched according to the user's interaction. The page view corresponding to the search result data derived from different search servers for one search term can be switched according to the user's interaction.

The content of the page view 801 may be changed according to the parameter corresponding to the direction of the swipe. For example, swiping to the left or right is to switch to a page view that corresponds to search result data of a different category for any one search term, and swiping up or down may result in a change in search result data for different search terms It may mean switching to the corresponding page view.

8, an interface 803 such as a button or a menu for sharing at least one search result data among a plurality of search result data mapped to the page view 801 to the chat window by the user is displayed on the page And may be displayed in the view 801. [ The interface 803 may be displayed in the page view 801. [ After the user confirms the desired search result data through the swipe, the user can select an interface 803 such as a button or menu for sharing in the page view 801 to which the search result data to be shared is mapped in the chat window. Then, the user terminal 102 may transmit a request for sharing the search result data mapped to the page view 801 to the message server 101.

If the search result data mapped to the page view 801 includes information related to a program that can be executed on the web or an app, a link to access the web or the app on which the program is executed is displayed in the page view 801 Can be displayed. Here, the web or the application where the program is executed can be accessed by the participants of the chat room in which the search word is obtained. Participants in the chat room can run the program together through the web or the app, and can share the execution result of the program in real time through the chat window of the message application.

At this time, the sharing request for the search result data selected through the page view includes the search result data as (i) the chat room where the search request is generated, (ii) the chat room participating in the chat room other than the chat room where the search request is generated, (iii) A chat room designated by the user other than the chat room where the chat is generated, or (iv) a chat room to be newly created.

When a user makes a sharing request for a page view 801 corresponding to a specific category, as shown in FIG. 10, the chat window displays a search result summary mapped to the page view 801, A template composed of search words may be displayed.

9 is a diagram illustrating a process of selecting desired search result data while switching page views according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The user terminal 102 may map the search result data derived from the search servers 104-1, ..., 104-N to page views for each category and display the page. The page view is exposed to the chat room in which the user terminal 102 participates, and the user of the user terminal 102 can select the desired search result data through the page view. Here, the page view may be displayed without processing the search result data, or the result of processing the search result data may be displayed.

The search result data may include at least one of at least one link (URL) information that can access at least one web or app page derived through the search term, or collection information crawled from the web or app page. The search result data can be matched to categories such as news, images, videos, blogs, cafes, books, shopping, music, and the like.

Here, the page view refers to a display area for displaying search result data derived from a search word input in a message application in a form optimized for a message application. Specifically, the page view may be in the form of a card corresponding to the entire chat room of the user terminal 102. The category of the page view can be determined according to the category of the search result data to be displayed through the page view.

The user of the user terminal 102 can confirm the page view to which the plurality of search result data are mapped according to the category. In doing so, the user can determine whether to share at least one search result data among a plurality of search result data mapped to the page view. The user terminal 102 may transmit a sharing request for at least one search result data selected through the page view to the message server 101. [

9, it is assumed that the page view corresponding to the search result data derived through the search word acquired by the current user terminal 102 is the page view 2-2. And, it is assumed that the search result data corresponding to the page view 2-2 belongs to the "image" category. That is, the user confirms the page view 2-2 in which the search result data belonging to the "image" category is processed for the specific search word through the chat window.

If there are a plurality of search result data, the page view 2-2 may be divided and displayed according to the number of search result data. Alternatively, when there are a plurality of retrieval result data, the page view 2-2 may be matched to a plurality of layers corresponding to the number of retrieval result data. That is, a page view may be displayed in a plurality of layers matched for each search result data in a chat window.

At this time, if the user swipes left in the page view 2-2, the user terminal 102 can switch the page view 2-2 to the page view 2-1 and display it. In the chat window of the user terminal 102, the page view 2-1 in which the search result data belonging to the "news" category is processed among the search result data derived by the search server 2 through the specific search word may be displayed.

In a similar manner, if the user swipes down in page view 2-2, user terminal 102 may switch page view 2-2 to page view 3-2 for display. Then, the user terminal 102 may expose the page view 3-2 displaying the search result data that the search server 3 retrieved with a specific search term, rather than the search server 2, to the chat room.

In other words, the user can easily check the search result data belonging to different categories, the different search words, or the search result data derived from different search servers, by switching the page views displayed in the chat window through a swipe or the like have.

Alternatively, when there are a plurality of search result data, the page view may be divided into regions corresponding to the number of search result data. Then, each of the plurality of search result data can be displayed in each of the divided regions in the page view. For example, if there are N search result data corresponding to an "image" category for a particular search term, N search result data may be displayed in each of the N regions divided in one page view.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating information on search result data in a chat window according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

10 illustrates a process of displaying search result data mapped to a page view requested by a user in a chat window through a speech balloon (A in FIG. 10) or a template (B in FIG. 10) distinct from speech balloon. In FIG. 10, a speech balloon and a template indicate an interface for displaying search result data acquired through a search word in an optimized form in a chat window. That is, the chat window may display a summary of the search result, which is the result of further processing of the search result data displayed through the page view, through an interface such as a template or speech balloon. At this time, the speech bubble and the template can be adaptively changed according to the size of the screen on which the message application is executed or the size of the chat window.

When a sharing request is generated for the search result data mapped to the page view shown in FIG. 8, the message server 101 can transmit the search result data to the user terminal 102 and the sharing target terminal designated by the user.

The user terminal 102 can confirm the type of the search result data transmitted from the message server 101. The type of search result data is whether or not the search result data is composed of text, image, video, link, or combination of two or more of text, image, video, and link It can mean.

If the type of the search result data is composed of text, image, moving picture, link, or search result data is composed of a combination of two or more of text, image, moving picture and link, Information about the search result data can be displayed in the chat window through the speech balloon or the template determined according to the kind of the search result data. Here, the information on the search result data may include summary data including at least one of a title, a representative image, and a description of the search result data.

If the type of the search result data includes a link to access the search information, the user terminal 102 may transmit the information or link about the search result data to the scrap server 105. [

If there is one search result data, the form of the speech balloon or the template for displaying the information about the search result data may be classified into a link type, a text type, an image type, a moving image type, and a combination type according to the type of search result data .

If there are a plurality of search result data, the form of the speech balloon or template to which the search result data is to be displayed may be a list type. The list type means that a plurality of search result data determined in the form of a link type, a text type, an image type, a moving image type, and a combination type is expressed in a list. At this time, in the list type, each list may include summary data (e.g., at least one of a title, a short description, or a representative image) of search result data.

Then, the user terminal 102 can display information on the search result data according to the form of a speech balloon or a template of a list type, a text type, an image type, a moving picture type, or a combination type.

At this time, if the link type is determined according to the kind of the search result data, the user terminal 102 can transmit the link information to the scrap server 105. [ The scrap server 105 can access the page using the link information. Then, the scrap server 105 can obtain scrap information about the page by performing scrap on the page.

4, the scrap server 105 analyzes the page corresponding to the search result data or obtains it from the meta data of the page corresponding to the search result data, or the entire page corresponding to the search result data Or obtain a scrap information derived by taking a snapshot of a part thereof.

In addition to this, the user terminal 102 may also store the search result data itself, the type of search result data, the size information of the screen of the user terminal, the information about the message application, or the detailed information (1: Chat, chat room ID, etc.) to the scrap server 105.

Then, the scrap server 105 can access the web or app according to the link, and then crawl the page as it is. Then, the scrap server 105 may analyze the HTML of the page and obtain scrap information including at least one of the title, description, and representative image of the page. Alternatively, the scrap server 105 may obtain scrap information for the page from the page's metadata. Then, the scrap server 105 can acquire an image, which is the result of taking a snapshot of all or a part of the page, as scrap information about the page.

Then, the scrap server 105 may transmit the scrap information to the user terminal 102 as information on the search result data. Thereafter, the user terminal 102 can display scrap information on the page in the chat room through the speech bubble in Fig. 10A or the template in Fig. 10B as the information on the search result data. The information on the search result data displayed in the chat room may include summary data including at least one of a title, a representative image, and a description of the search result data. That is, the search result data may be processed into a speech balloon or a template, which is a customized form, and displayed in the chat room requested to be shared.

Meanwhile, the user terminal 102 may display the search term used when acquiring the search result data when displaying the information on the search result data through the speech balloon or the template in the chat room. Then, the user can easily grasp which search word the information related to the search result data displayed through the speech balloon or the template is derived from.

Then, when the user selects a speech balloon or a template, the user terminal 102 can execute a new browser or switch to a browser already executed in the message application, and then provide a page related to the search result data through the browser.

In the above description, the user terminal 102, which is a user terminal, confirms the type of the search result data after transmitting the sharing request for the search result data. However, according to the embodiment, The type of the result data may be confirmed in advance and the information about the type may be transmitted to the message server 101 together with the sharing request for the search result data.

According to the embodiment, the counterpart terminal 103 displaying the information on the retrieval result data can confirm the type of the retrieval result data. Alternatively, according to the embodiment, the message server 101 may check the type of the search result data by analyzing the search result data. Then, when the message server 101 transmits the search result data to the participant terminal of the chat room requested to be shared, the type of the search result data can be also transmitted.

11 is a diagram illustrating a process of providing information on a web or an application on which a program is executed according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step 1101, the user terminal 102 can acquire the instant message input in the message input window or the search word set as a whole or a part of the selected proposal word among the proposal words in the proposal word list displayed in association with the message input window .

At step 1102, the user terminal 102 may send a search query to the search server 104 via a search request. At this time, the user terminal 102 may transmit the search word to the search server 104 through the message server 101 or directly to the search server 104. Then, the search server 104 may extract a plurality of search result data from the search word. At this time, the search server 104 may determine whether the search result data is associated with a program that can be executed via the web or an app. For example, the search server 104 can determine whether information related to the program (news, articles, download / install links of the program, introduction page of the program, category of the program, etc.) is included in the search result data .

If the search result data includes information about a program that can be executed via the web or an application, at step 1103, the search server 104 executes the program server 106 associated with the program You can request information about the program being run.

Meanwhile, when the search server 104 requests the program server 106 for information on the program, the search server 104 may transmit the information on the chat room in which the search word is entered or the information on the participants in the chat room to the program server 106.

Here, the information on the chat room includes identification information (chat room ID and the like) for the chat room, link information on the chat room, the creator of the chat room, the type of chat room (1: 1 or group), the number of participants in the chat room, And at least one of information related to the message. The information on the participant in the chat room includes the participant's identification information (participant ID, participant's phone number, participant's e-mail address, etc.), age and gender of participant, position in chatting, . At this time, the participant also includes the user of the user terminal 102 that has input the search word.

Then, at step 1104, the program server 106 may pass information to the search server 104 about the program. Then, at step 1105, the search server 104 may forward information about the program to the user terminal 102. [ To this end, the program server 106 may generate information about the program based on information about the chat room or information about the participants of the chat room. Here, the information on the program may include information on a web or an application on which the program is executed. Alternatively, information about a chat room in which a search word is entered or information about a participant in a chat room may not be transmitted to the program server 106, but may be utilized when the user terminal 102 displays a web page or executes an app.

Unlike steps 1104 and 1105, information on the program generated by the program server 106 in step 1106 may be transmitted to the user terminal 102 without going through the search server 104 have.

Thereafter, in step 1107, the user terminal 102 may display a page view to which information about the program is mapped. Thereafter, at step 1108, the user terminal 102 may forward a sharing request for the program to the message server 101. [ Then, the message server 101 can transmit information about the web or the application, which is executed the same program to the terminals of other participants participating in the chat room entered by the user of the user terminal 102 and the user terminal 102.

The user terminal 102 may display the web page on which the program is executed based on the information about the web on the chatting room through the message application or through a web browser separate from the messaging application. Alternatively, the user terminal 102 may provide an application in which the program is executed using information about the application in which the program is executed. At this time, the web browser may be an in-app browser directly associated with the messaging application, or it may be an out-of-app browser independent of the messaging application.

11, the user terminal 102 does not perform step 1107, step 1108, and step 1109, and does not perform the process of step 1105 or step 1106, A web page on which a program is executed or a program can be executed through an application.

On the other hand, for example, the contents described in FIG. 11 can be expanded according to the CASE defined below. Meanwhile, a web or an application on which the program described in FIG. 11 is executed means a web or an application to which the user terminal 102 and the counterpart terminal 103 participating in the entered chat room can access or execute the query.

At this time, since the chat room can be divided into the 1: 1 chat and the group chat, the program can be an application in which at least two people participate. For example, the program means a game program, an educational program, a video call program, etc., which can be performed by a plurality of participants who enter the chat room.

The web or the application on which the program is executed may be provided to each of a plurality of participants entering the chat room in the same manner. Thus, a plurality of participants entering the chat room can share the execution result of the program.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the search word entered in the message application directly indicates the program (CASE A), or the case where the search application indicates the type or category of the program in the message application (CASE B). Specifically, when the search word obtained from the chat window or the message input window of the message application is a title (name, abbreviated name) of the program, the search word directly indicates the program.

For example, if the search term is "concave ", the program corresponding to the search term, such as CASE A, may be a" concave " In this case, the participant information can be used to configure a web or an app on which the program "concave" game is executed. In other words, when the participant of the chat room is the user A who entered the search word and the user B who is the conversation partner, the search result data corresponding to the search word is automatically "concave" It may be information about the web or app where the game is running. At this time, when the search term is "concave" where 1: 1 competition is performed and four participants are in the chat room, the execution page for two different concave games is displayed in the chat room so that all participants of the chat room can participate, An executable page that can be watched by the remaining two participants for the game can be displayed in the chat room.

On the other hand, when the search term is "game ", a program such as CASE B may mean a" game " In this case, in order to provide the web or the application on which the program is executed to the user terminal 102, the program needs to be specified. For this purpose, the participant information of the chat room in which the search word is entered can be utilized when specifying the program. For example, if there are four participants in the chat room, a game program that can be performed by four participants such as a ladder game and a card game among the game programs may be determined according to a preset algorithm or a selection of a user who inputs a search word.

On the other hand, when the search word is composed of the name of the program (CASE i) and the case where the search word is composed of the name of the program and the execution command of the program (CASE ii) can be considered. If the search term is composed of "concave" as in CASE i, as described in FIGS. 2 to 11, a web or an app in which a concave game is executed in a page view including a search result for " Accessible link information may be displayed. Or a CASE i, the web or the app on which the concave game is executed is generated through the program server 106, but the web or the app on which the concave game is executed is stored in the user terminal 102, And only the link information for accessing the web or the app where the concave game is executed can be provided.

Alternatively, if the name of the program and the execution command for the program are combined, such as CASE ii, such as "concave + immediately start (or immediately execute) ", then the web or app where the program" And can be displayed directly on the terminal 102. At this time, a web or an app on which the "concave game" is executed may be provided in a chat window in which a search word is entered, or in conjunction with a message application, or through an independent web browser.

12 is a diagram illustrating an example of providing a web page through which a program is executed by inputting a search word into a message application in the present invention through a web browser.

Referring to FIG. 12A, an identifier 1201 for switching a message application from a chat mode to a search mode is displayed in a message input window displayed in a chat window. In this case, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the user selects the identifier 1201 as shown in FIG. 6A, the message application can be switched from the chat mode to the search mode. 12, the "transfer" button of the message input window may be changed to a "search" button, or may be changed to images related to "search"

On the other hand, after the message application is switched from the chat mode to the search mode, the message input window may be described with a character (#) associated with the search mode as a default. At this time, the character associated with the search mode may be a symbol or a character composed of at least one word specified separately by the user or the message application.

Alternatively, according to another embodiment of the present invention, if an identifier such as a hash tag is input to the direct message input window without switching to the search mode after selecting the identifier 1201 separately, the search mode may be automatically switched to the search mode.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 6B, regardless of switching to the search mode, after the user inputs an instant message into the message input window, the user terminal 102 sets an instant message as a search term by selecting an identifier associated with the search request And may forward the search request to the search server 104.

At this time, when the user inputs a search term "concave" in the message input window, the user terminal 102 displays a web page 1202 in which a program "concave game" And can be displayed through the Web browser 103. [ The web page 1202 in which the concave game is executed is equally shared to the participants participating in the chat room, and the execution result of the concave game can be updated in real time. 12B, the web page 1202 in which the concave game is executed may be displayed in the chat window in which the search word is input.

In FIG. 12A, it is assumed that the participants in the chat room are user X and user Y. In FIG. Here, user X means a user who inputs a search word in a message input window. The web page 1202 in which the caro game is executed in FIG. 12B can be generated in consideration of the participants of the chat room based on the chat room information for the chat room in which the search word is input. That is, as can be seen from the web page 1202 in which the concave game is executed, the user Y can be determined to automatically participate in the concerto game as a program. At this time, the program does not need to be installed in the user terminal held by the user X and the user Y, and can be executed through the web page.

According to one embodiment, the program may be executed only when it is installed in the user terminal. In this case, if a program is not installed in the user terminal 102 at the time of displaying the web page on which the program is to be executed, the process of installing the program may be preferentially performed.

At this time, the concave game is a program corresponding to the search word input in the message input window, and the web page in which the concave game is executed through the chat window of the message application or the web browser may be exposed. In addition, a web page on which a concurrent game, which is a program, is executed is not directly exposed in the chat window, and only link information for accessing a web page on which a concave game is executed may be exposed. Alternatively, the user terminal 102 for the user X who entered the search word may display the web page on which the carousel game is executed, but the counterpart terminal 103 for the user Y who is a participant in the same chat room as the user X, Only the link information for accessing the web page may be exposed without directly displaying the web page on which the game is executed.

In the case of FIG. 12, a process of providing a web page on which a program is executed is described, but the same can be applied to a case where a program is provided through an application. 11, a page view reflecting information about the program is displayed on the user terminal 102 before a web page on which the program is executed is presented in Fig. 12, Pages may be provided.

13 is a diagram illustrating an example of displaying a web page on which a program is executed through a message application by inputting a search word into a message application in the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 13A, an identifier 1301 for switching a message application from a chat mode to a search mode is displayed in a message input window displayed in a chat window. At this time, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the user selects the identifier 1301, the message application can be switched from the chat mode to the search mode.

At this time, when the user inputs a search word "game" in the message input window, a web page 1302 in which a ladder game is executed different from the message application can be displayed in the chat window as shown in FIG. 13A shows a case where the title (name, abbreviation) of a program is not inputted as a search word but a program type, a category, or the like is input as a search word, unlike FIG. 12A.

In this case, in order to specify the program, the participant information of the participants who entered the chat room when the search word is inputted in the message input window can be utilized. Since the program is already specified through the search word, the participant information of the chat room is utilized for setting the participant information on the web page on which the program is executed. However, in FIG. 13, a program corresponding to a search word can be specified through the participant information of the chat room as well as the search word.

Even if "game" is inputted as a search word in the message input window in Fig. 13A, at least one game program corresponding to the participant information of the game programs can be automatically determined based on the search word and the participant information of the chat room. As can be seen from FIG. 13A, when the number of participants in the chat room is four, at least one game program capable of participating in all four participants of the chat room among the game programs corresponding to the search word can be extracted. Then, as shown in FIG. 13B, a ladder game in which all four participants can participate by the user who inputs the search term can be specified as a program corresponding to the search term.

In the case of FIG. 13B, the web page 1302 in which the program "ladder game" corresponding to the search word is executed is displayed in the chat window in which the search word is entered. However, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the web page 1302 on which the program "ladder game" is executed may be displayed in conjunction with the messaging application or through an independent web browser.

In the case of FIG. 13, a process of providing a web page on which a program is executed is described, but the same can be applied to a case where a program is provided through an application. 11, a page view reflecting information on the program is displayed on the user terminal 102 before a web page on which the program is executed is presented in Fig. 13, Pages may be provided.

The methods according to embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in the form of program instructions that can be executed through various computer means and recorded in a computer-readable medium. The computer-readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like, alone or in combination. The program instructions recorded on the medium may be those specially designed and constructed for the present invention or may be available to those skilled in the art of computer software.

While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. This is possible.
