Generally, the execution screen of the instant messenger is input using the name display area 10, the input area 15 and the input area 15 of the conversation partner as shown in Figs. 1 (a) and 1 (b) And a display area 11 in which text or emoticons transmitted to the conversation partner, and text or emoticons received from the conversation partner are displayed.

The input area 15 includes an emoticon display area 14 and an emoticon selected in the text or emoticon display area 14 input by the user so as to be maintained in the transmission standby state And a dialog window (12). It is natural that the emoticon presenting area 14 can be switched to a keyboard presentation area, which is a virtual keyboard for text input, with the cursor positioned in the dialog window 12 for the user to input text.

In recent years, emoticons that can be transmitted and received by using an instant messenger are extended to moving image emoticons as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 1 in addition to still image emoticons. When the user selects an arbitrary moving image emoticon, the selected moving image emoticon is displayed on the preview window 16 temporarily formed in the display area 11 in the transmission standby state, so that the user can check in advance which action the selected moving image emoticon is going to proceed have.

The user can transmit the text or / and emoticon inputted in the dialog window 12 and the emoticon displayed in the preview window 16 to the conversation partner by pressing the transmission button.

However, the conventional instant messenger has only the input area 15 and the display area 11, that is, focused on the purpose of real-time conversation, and the instant messenger allows the user to access various information, There was a limit that could not be utilized.

In addition, in the conventional instant messenger, the user is limited to input text using only the keyboard presentation area, and the emoticon is limited to select any of the emoticons displayed in a grid-like arrangement structure at the bottom of the execution screen.

This restriction causes inconvenience in selecting the text or emoticon of the user. In addition, in the case of keyboard selection for text input, there is a problem that frequent misreading occurs because the sizes and arranging intervals of selectable objects (for example, alphabetical characters (or English alphabet) In the case of selecting the emoticons, it is difficult to grasp the image of the emoticons in detail by arranging them as small and simple as possible because of the limitation of the arrangement area, and there is a problem that emotions and stories of the emoticons can not be transmitted.

In addition, since the conventional instant messenger's emoticon gift-giving function is limited to the function of simply conveying emoticons to other users as a gift, it is difficult to attract the user's interest, and even if an emoticon is presented to other users, There was a problem that it was difficult.

The user terminal 110 and the counterpart terminal 130 are communication terminals that can be connected to one or more service servers included in the server group 120 through a communication network. For example, a smart phone, a tablet PC, a notebook computer, a personal computer, and the like having an application program downloading and driving function and an Internet access function.

The server group 120 collectively refers to service servers for performing a normal social network service, for example, an instant messaging service and the like.

In the server group 120, a content service server 122 for providing story configuration data, image data and the like to be described later, an SNS service server 124 for providing an application program for providing a social network service and related services, and the like . In addition, all of the communication terminals may be included in the server for accessing the Internet and using various communication services.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, an example will be described in which the SNS service server 124 is an instant messaging service server capable of performing real-time conversation by simultaneously connecting the user terminal 110 and the counterpart terminal 130 . Of course, the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to the instant messaging service, and it can be applied to various SNS services and multimedia messaging service (MMS) as well as blog service such as Facebook.

Also, the case where the content service server 122 and the SNS service server 124 are separately implemented will be described as an example, but it is needless to say that they may be implemented to provide a plurality of services simultaneously in one server.

The user terminal 110 can receive a content such as story configuration data, image data, and the like by accessing the content service server 122 by driving a predetermined application program. Also, the user terminal 110 can perform a real-time conversation with the counterpart terminal 130 connected to the SNS service server 124 by driving a predetermined application program.

At this time, the respective application programs for connecting to the content service server 122 and for connecting to the SNS service server 124 may be integrated and implemented. However, in each of the individually implemented application programs, And then executing the program as if it were integrated.

3, in which the configuration of the user terminal 110 is schematically shown in a block configuration, the user terminal 110 may include a hardware unit 210 and a software unit 220. [ 2, the user terminal 110 and the counterpart terminal 130 are referred to as different terms for the sake of clarity. However, the user terminal 110 and the counterpart terminal 130 may have the same configuration as illustrated in FIG. 3 . ≪ / RTI >

The hardware unit 210 may include a communication unit 212, a storage unit 214, and a touch screen unit 216.

The communication unit 212 functions to connect the user terminal 110 to the content service server 122 and / or the SNS service server 124 through a communication network. The user terminal 110 can receive story configuration data and / or image data from the connected contents service server 122 using the network connection function provided by the communication unit 212, and can also receive the story configuration data and / or image data from the connected SNS service server 124 ) Can receive a real-time conversation service with a conversation partner.

The storage unit 214 stores at least one of an operating program for driving the user terminal 110, image data, story configuration data, and program data to be driven by the software unit 220.

4, each of the image data may be stored in the storage unit 214 to correspond to a pre-designated code identifier 410, and the relationship between the image data and the code identifier 410 may be separately managed . The code identifier 410 may be assigned by the content service server 122 that provides image data, for example, and may be predefined such that the code identifier 410 corresponding to the image data by the user may be modified or disabled have.

Referring again to FIG. 3, the storage unit 214 includes a permanent memory area in which data is stored and held until a user performs an active deletion process, and a temporary memory area in which data for driving an application program is temporarily And a temporary memory area to be stored and deleted. Of course, temporary files which are temporarily stored for temporary use in the process of driving the Internet or application programs in the temporary memory area, but are not automatically deleted, may be stored and maintained.

The touch screen unit 216 is a display device having a virtual input device implemented to receive a position when a hand or an accelerator pen touches (i.e., touches). The touch screen unit 216 may provide information on the touch position to the software unit 220 when a predetermined area is touched.

The software unit 220 is a conceptual area in which an application program (for example, an instant messaging application, a music reproduction application, etc.) operates by driving program data stored in the storage unit 214, Is a virtual unit. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation and understanding, the case where the instant messaging application is driven by the software unit 220 will be described as an example.

The software unit 220 may include an input module 222, a story keyboard processing module 224, and a display module 226.

The input module 222 inputs a virtual input area 15 (see FIG. 1) for inputting or selecting an image such as text or / or emoticon to the conversation partner in order to conduct a real-time conversation on one side of the touch screen unit 216 Display. The input text and / or the selected image using the input area 15 displayed by the input module 222 are transmitted to the counterpart terminal 130 via the communication unit 212 by the user's operation, Lt; / RTI >

The display module 226 displays text and / or images transmitted to the counterpart terminal 130 and text and / or images received from the counterpart terminal 130 on the display area 11 formed on one side of the touch screen unit 216 Output.

The story keyboard processing module 224 outputs the story keyboard 720 (see FIG. 7) to one side of the display area of the touch screen unit 216, and outputs the reconstructed story to the story keyboard based on the story construction data selected by the user .

The story configuration data is illustrated in FIG. 5 (b), which replaces a specific portion of the story data illustrated in FIG. 5 (a) with respective pieces of code information.

The story keyboard processing module 224 refers to the corresponding setting information (see FIG. 4) stored in advance in the code identifier 410 specified in the code information 520 (see FIG. 5) included in the story configuration data selected by the user, 5C by replacing the image data with the image data corresponding to each code identifier 410 stored in the terminal 110 and outputting the reconstructed story within the area defined by the story keyboard 720 do.

5B shows an example [[0x1006]] including only the code identifier 410 as the code information 520, but the code identifier 520 is inserted in place of the code identifier 520 in the code information 520 A scale value of the image data may be further included. In this case, the story keyboard processing module 224 may recognize the image data corresponding to the code identifier 410, and then insert the recognized image data into the corresponding position in a size corresponding to the designated scale value.

The code information 520 may further include a rotation value. In this case, the story keyboard processing module 224 may rotate image data corresponding to the rotation angle value when inserting and replacing the code information.

In addition to the characteristic values (for example, characteristic values for implementing blinking effect, flickering effect, sound effect, animation effect, vibration effect, etc., for flicker) to variously adjust the insertion shape of the image to be replaced in the code information 520 ) Can be further included in the code information, and more various effects can be given when reconstructing the story based on the story configuration data using such code information.

For example, an image in which a characteristic value for a blinking effect is set may be displayed in a blinking shape in a story.

As another example, in the process of scrolling the display information in the story keyboard 720 upward or downward in order to view the story, the image in which the property value for the sound effect, animation effect, and vibration effect is set to a predetermined position The predetermined sound is output through the speaker of the user terminal 110 or a predetermined motion of the animation or a vibration of a predetermined pattern is output from the user terminal 110. [ Quot; output "

In addition, the story configuration data illustrated in FIG. 5B exemplifies a form in which the text and the code information 520 are arranged in the same paragraph in a mixed manner. However, the story configuration data may be configured to form a story in which the text and the image are individually arranged at independent locations, such as a children's picture book, or may be arranged so that the text and the image have no special rules such as a comic book or a photo album In addition, text and images can be arranged in various structures.

In reconstructing the story using the story configuration data and the image data previously stored in the user terminal 110, the story keyboard processing module 224 reconstructs the story data using the image data corresponding to the code information included in the story configuration data, ), A predetermined error image 910 (see FIG. 9) may be inserted in place of the corresponding image.

The size of the story keyboard 720 displayed on the touch screen unit 216 by the story keyboard processing module 224 may be defined as a part of the display screen area of the software unit 220 as illustrated in Figure 7 (b) , Or substantially all of the display screen area of the software unit 220 as illustrated in Fig. 7 (c). The size of the story keyboard 720 may be adjusted by the user through a touch gesture, selection of a predetermined function button, or the like.

The story keyboard processing module 224 can variously change the display form of the story displayed in the story keyboard 720 using the touch information provided from the touch screen unit 216. [

For example, if the user's two fingers remain touched and the fingers are spaced apart, the text and images that make up the story can be enlarged as a whole. If the spacing between the fingers is narrowed, The entire image may be reduced so that more content is displayed within the story keyboard 720. [

As another example, if the interval between the fingers is far away while the three fingers of the user are kept touched, only the text and images constituting the story may be enlarged and displayed. If the interval between the fingers is narrowed, So that only the text of the image and the image constituting the image can be reduced in size.

As another example, if the user's four fingers remain touched and the distance between the fingers is distant, only the image of the text and the image constituting the story may be enlarged and displayed. If the interval between the fingers becomes narrow It is also possible to display the entire image of the text and the image constituting the story in a reduced size.

In addition, even if the user does not use the scroll bar displayed on one side of the story keyboard 720, when the user drags the finger upward or downward in a state where the finger is touched at an arbitrary position in the story keyboard 720, It is of course possible to make it possible.

Also, as shown in FIG. 10, a part of the story configuration data may include an area in which emoticons that the user can utilize when using the instant messaging service are collected and displayed. This can be implemented by arranging the code information 520 corresponding to each of the displayable emoticons according to a predetermined rule, or if the text is displayed as small as possible with the emoticon left as it is by the touch gesture operation by the user, The user can easily read the sentence or select the word or sentence. Therefore, if the emoticon is displayed in a very small size, It is possible to easily select and use necessary emoticons by using the area.

From the point of view of the viewer, when the emoticon (image) is enlarged and displayed, it becomes a composition of a children's picture fairy tale, in which the picture is emphasized. Conversely, if only the text is enlarged, the use of the elderly with poor eyesight will be convenient. Generally, since the text and the image are enlarged / reduced at the same proportion, the area occupied by the image is relatively large, which makes it difficult to read the text.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of implementing a story keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a view illustrating a story display state using a story keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the story keyboard processing module 224 selects one piece of story configuration data by the user at step 610.

7A, when a story function button 710 arranged on one side of the execution screen of the instant messaging application program is touched, a list of selectable story configuration data is outputted to one side of the execution screen, Can touch one of the story configuration data and select it.

Referring back to FIG. 6, in step 620, the story keyboard processing module 224 generates an image corresponding to the code identifier 410 specified in the code information included in the selected story configuration data among the image data stored in the user terminal 110 And recognizes the data. The story configuration data may be composed of text and code information as described above, and may be composed of only code information if necessary.

In step 630, the story keyboard processing module 224 replaces each piece of code information included in the storyline composition data with corresponding image data to reconstruct the story, and outputs the reconstructed story to the story keyboard 720 formed on one side of the execution screen. .

FIG. 7B shows a display example in which the story configuration data selected by the user is reconstructed as a story and output to the story keyboard 720. The story keyboard 720 may be resized as illustrated in FIG. 7C by touching a predetermined function button or by dragging the boundary of the story keyboard 720 displayed on the screen in a touch state .

7A to 7C illustrate a case in which the story keyboard 720 is executed while the user is connected to the chat room with the chat partner "Hong Kil-dong". However, in a state in which the user is not connected to any chat room For example, it is natural that the story keyboard 720 can also be executed in a basic execution screen of an application program).

7 shows a case where 'A Christmas Carol' is selected from three pieces of story configuration data corresponding to three books, and a story in which a text and an image are mixed in the same paragraph is displayed. However, A story that can be displayed in a space of a book may be a picture book, a comic book, an advertisement, a merchandise catalog, or a photograph book or a collection of works composed only of image data in which text and images are independently arranged in respective areas.

Story configuration data and / or image data for forming a story to be displayed through the story keyboard 720 formed on one side of the display screen of the user terminal 110 are provided to other users using the gift function (Fig. 11) Or may be implemented to do so. Other users who have received the gift can look at the story and then touch the specific image or text to extract the emoticon or text.

The conventional method of presenting only image data (emoticons) is a method of sending only pretty images (emoticons), but this method of sending the story configuration data is a method in which the recipient feels fun and impressed In addition, the user can select and use his / her favorite image data (emoticons) again, thereby enhancing the "intangible value" of the gift as well as the fun and interest, and can also be used as an advertisement or a product catalog .

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an object transfer method selected in a story keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 illustrates an object selection process using a story keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The story displayed in the story keyboard 720 described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 may be a story reconstructed based on the story construction data as described above, A PDF file, a word document file, a jpg file, or the like downloaded through a communication network to be executed in a book terminal).

9 shows a case where the story keyboard 720 is executed while connected to a dialog window for real-time conversation with a specific conversation partner. However, the fact that the story keyboard 720 can be executed even when the story keyboard 720 is not connected to the dialog window, Same as.

Referring to FIG. 8, the story keyboard processing module 224 recognizes at step 810 that the user has touched a location within the story keyboard area 720 area. The story keyboard processing module 224 compares the touch position information provided from the touch screen unit 216 with the coordinate value range indicating the area of the story keyboard 720 so that the user touches the area defined by the story keyboard 720 And also can recognize where the position is.

In step 820, the story keyboard processing module 224 specifies selection information corresponding to the touch position. Here, the selection information may be an object (for example, image data or text) conforming to the touch position as illustrated in, for example, FIG. 9A, or the story configuration data File, hereinafter the same) and the position coordinate value in the corresponding story configuration data corresponding to the touch position.

Then, the story keyboard processing module 224 proceeds to a transmission wait state for transmitting the selection information corresponding to the touch position to the counterpart terminal 130 in step 830, and transmits a transmission command (e.g., 'Send 'Button touch) is inputted, the selection information is transmitted to the counterpart terminal 130 through the communication unit 212. If the selection information is an object having text, for example, the object itself may be transmitted, but an ASCII code value, a Unicode code value, or the like corresponding to the object may be transmitted.

As described above, the story keyboard 720 according to the present embodiment is used not only as a space for browsing a story, but also by touching an object included in a story displayed in the space, And a virtual input device for transmitting to a designated conversation partner.

In this way, image data such as emoticons can be displayed in a free space in a space defined by the story keyboard 720 instead of the conventional lattice arrangement of the same size (for example, flashing, moving, vibrating, The user can precisely touch the characters. In addition, in the case of inputting a Korean character, the combination of '' 'and' ㅓ ' There is also an advantage in that it can be transmitted as a completed character type object by touching 'RU' in the word 'geiger' without creating a character.

Referring to FIG. 9, when the user touches the image data 420, which is an object, as illustrated in FIG. 9A, the object is placed in a transmission waiting state as shown in FIG. 9B And transmitted to the counterpart terminal 130 by a transmission command of the user.

As another example, when the user touches the text 510 'about', which is another object, the object proceeds to the transmission waiting state as shown in FIG. 9C, Lt; / RTI > At this time, although it may be set to be recognized as being inputted as a word unit (for example, about) corresponding to the touch position, it is set to be recognized as being input as a character unit corresponding to the touch position (for example, about a) It is possible.

Also, depending on the setting, the length of the text to be recognized may be set to be selected according to the duration of the touch. For example, if the duration of the touch is 0.5 seconds, it may be set to recognize one character, one duration if the duration of the touch is 1 second, and one sentence if the duration of the duration is 2 seconds or more.

On the other hand, when the instruction information is transmitted to the counterpart terminal 130 in the transmission standby state, the counterpart terminal 130 specifies the story component data using the identifier of the story component data included in the instruction information , The text or code information corresponding to the position coordinate value in the story configuration data is read out and the corresponding text or image data is output to the execution screen. That is, when the instruction information is transmitted to the counterpart terminal 130 and the corresponding story configuration data is stored in the counterpart terminal 130, the object corresponding to the object touched by the user terminal 110 is stored in the counterpart terminal 130, Can be output in the same manner.

If the story data and / or the image data are not stored in the counterpart terminal 130, the same object as the object specified by the instruction information can not be specified in the counterpart terminal 130, It may not be displayed properly in the form of a display. In order to prevent this, when the instruction information is transmitted to the counterpart terminal 130, the story component data and / or the image data for reconstructing the story using the gift function may be transmitted to the counterpart terminal 130 as described above will be.

When the story keyboard processing module 224 reconstructs the story based on the story configuration data, if the image data corresponding to the code identifier 410 is not yet stored in the storage 214, the corresponding code identifier 410 ) To replace the corresponding image data and output an error image 910. [

In this case, when the user touches the displayed error image 910, the story keyboard processing module 224 transmits the image data corresponding to the code identifier 410 through the communication network to the contents service server 122 .

In this case, the story keyboard processing module 224 may invoke a pre-implemented application program so that it can be connected to the content service server 122 and be executed.

For example, if each image data included in the story configuration data of the entertainer's picture album is configured to be individually purchased, if the user displays a story corresponding to the story configuration data on the story keyboard 720, Since they are not yet stored in the part 214, they will be replaced with error images 910 and displayed, respectively.

In this situation, the user can purchase the corresponding image data from the content service server 122 connected via the communication network by touching the specific error image 910, or download it free of charge, and download the image data to the storage unit 214 Once saved, the user can view the story displayed by replacing the error image with appropriate image data.

As described above, the story keyboard implementation method and the object transmission / reception method selected in the story keyboard according to the present embodiment may be implemented by a software program or the like as described above. The code and code segments that make up the program can be easily deduced by a computer programmer in the field. In addition, the program is stored in a computer readable medium, readable and executed by a computer, and implements the method. The information storage medium includes a magnetic recording medium and an optical recording medium.
