Hereinafter, a specific embodiment is described using a messenger as a representative example of an application. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and features related to the present invention can be applied to all applications including a notification function in addition to the messenger.

3 is a diagram illustrating an example of an entire system environment for messenger notification.

Figure 3 assumes that User A has device 1 311 with messenger PC version installed, device 2 312 with messenger mobile version installed, device 3 313 and device 4 314 without messenger installed. Assume that User B sends a message to User A.

Referring to FIG. 3, when User B transmits a message to User A through a device 320 on which a messenger mobile version is installed, the server 350 transmits a message sent by User B to Device 1 on which Messenger is installed. 311 and device 2 312.

In this case, the server 350 may transmit a message reception notification to a device for which user authentication is performed through login. In other words, when User A logs in and uses a messenger installed in device 1 311 and device 2 312 on which messenger is installed, device 2 312 receives a notification of a message received from user B. Will be sent to. If multi-device use is supported, it is also possible for a message reception notification to be delivered to all devices with a messenger installed, that is, both device 1311 and device 212.

However, if User A is currently using a device that does not have a messenger installed, such as device 3 (313), it will not be able to catch the moment of the notification received on device 1 311 and / or device 2 312. Can be.

Therefore, when User A is using a device 313 or 314 that does not have a messenger installed, the user A may not recognize the message reception notification of the messenger and may miss an important message.

In order to use a multi-device, a messenger must be installed on all devices used by User A to implement data transmission and reception-related services. The service implementation for the multi-device environment is complicated because the message read processing is required for each message used by User A as well as the data read processing synchronization for each message.

The present invention can provide a separate notification application that can receive only notifications of a messenger separately from the messenger, and a simple one-way simple notification that does not require a data synchronization operation of the notification of a messenger to a multi-device through a notification application. It may be provided in the form (hereinafter, referred to as 'simple notice').

In order to support the use of a multi-device, a notification application (hereinafter referred to as a noti version) capable of receiving a simple notification by simple authentication through a messenger may be provided.

The noti version includes only the function of forwarding a notification of a messenger as a simple notification, and in addition, a series of functions included in the notification of a messenger, for example, a read processing function of a message, an answer function, a data transmission function, and the like, are omitted. By not requiring synchronization, the implementation complexity for using multiple devices can be significantly reduced.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of an entire system environment for providing a messenger notification to multiple devices according to one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 4 assumes that User A has device 1 311 with messenger PC version installed, device 2 312 with messenger mobile version installed, device 3 313 and device 4 314 without messenger installed. Assume that User B sends a message to User A.

Device 1, 2, 3, 4 (311 ~ 314) held by User A may be a device having the same or similar internal components as the electronic device 110 described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the server 350 It may be a device having the same or similar internal components as the server 150 described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

Device 3 (313) and Device 4 (314) that do not have messenger installed are noti version after device authentication through messenger PC version installed in device 1 (311) or messenger mobile version installed in device 2 (312). Can be. In other words, the server 350 may authenticate the devices 313 and 314 held by the user of the messenger using the messenger, and then provide the noti version to the device that has successfully authenticated.

Referring to FIG. 4, when User B transmits a message to User A through a device 320 on which a messenger mobile version is installed, the server 350 notifies the device 1 311 of which messenger is installed. As well as the device 2 (312), the messenger can be delivered to both the device 3 (313) and the device 4 (314) that is not installed and the noti version is installed.

The messenger installed in the device 1 311 and the device 2 312 may need data synchronization between the server 350 or another device, and may provide a read processing function, an answer function, a data transmission function, and the like of the message.

Meanwhile, the noti versions installed in the device 3 313 and the device 4 314 include only a function of receiving a notification in one direction from the server 350, and all other functions except for the notification receiving function are omitted.

Even if User A is currently using a device that does not have a messenger installed, for example, device 3 (313), a notification is received to device 1 (311) and / or device 2 (312) via device 3 (313). You can receive it so you can instantly catch the instants of notifications from messengers.

Therefore, user A can receive notifications of the messenger through the noti version, which can only receive notifications while using other devices (313 or 314) that do not have the messenger installed, so that important messages that can be missed can be quickly identified at the required time. have.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating an example of components that may be included in a processor of a server according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is an example of a method that may be performed by a server according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart showing.

The server 350 according to the present embodiment may deliver a notification of a messenger as a simple notification by interworking with a notification application installed on a plurality of devices that are clients, that is, a noti version.

The server 350 may be implemented in a single system with a messenger server that provides a messenger service. In another example, the server 350 may be implemented as a separate notification server that provides a notification of a messenger in association with a messenger server.

The server 350 may be a device having the same or similar internal components as the server 150 described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The server 350 may perform the notification providing method according to FIG. 6, and for this purpose, the processor 222 of the server 350 is a component, as shown in FIG. 5, the device register 510 and the notification generator. 520, and a notification transmission unit 530. In some embodiments, the components of the processor 222 may be optionally included in or excluded from the processor 222. In addition, according to an embodiment, the components of the processor 222 may be separated or merged to represent the functions of the processor 222.

The processor 222 and the components of the processor 222 may control the server 350 to perform steps S610 to S630 included in the notification providing method of FIG. 6. For example, the processor 222 and the components of the processor 222 may be implemented to execute instructions according to code of an operating system included in the memory 221 and code of at least one program.

Here, the components of the processor 222 may be representations of different functions of the processor 222 performed by the processor 222 according to an instruction provided by a program code stored in the server 350. . For example, the device register 510 may be used as a functional representation of the processor 222 controlling the server 350 in accordance with the above-described command so that the server 350 registers a device for receiving a simple notification.

The processor 222 may read necessary instructions from the memory 221 loaded with instructions related to the control of the server 350. In this case, the read command may include a command for controlling the processor 222 to execute steps S610 to S630 to be described later.

In operation S610, the device registration unit 510 may register at least one other device in which a messenger is not installed among devices possessed by the user with authentication through a messenger installed in the user's device for each messenger user. In other words, in order to support a multi-device environment in which a user uses a plurality of devices at once, the device registration unit 510 may register a device without a messenger as a device for receiving a simple notification. In this case, the device registration unit 510 may provide a noti version to the corresponding device after authenticating the other device in which the messenger is not installed by using a messenger installed in one of the devices used by the user, and installing the noti version. Upon completion, the device may be registered as a device for receiving a simple notification. For example, the device register 510 may establish a multi-device authentication scheme based on a unique device identifier (UUID), and may be based on a short-range communication such as Bluetooth or NFC through a device where a messenger is installed. After searching for the device, at least one device selected by the user in the searched device list may be registered as a device for receiving a simple notification. The user may install a noti version that can receive notification of a messenger only on a device which does not have a messenger among devices used in a multi-device environment.

In operation S620, the notification generator 520 may generate a notification message related to the corresponding event when an event related to the messenger user occurs. For example, the notification generator 520 may define a list of events requiring notification in advance and generate a notification message informing of occurrence of a corresponding event when a predefined event occurs. For example, when the event is a message reception event, a notification message for notifying the reception of the message may be generated. The notification message may be generated as abbreviated information including only some contents (eg, a first to 15 character string, etc.) rather than the entire contents of the message. In addition, the notification message may include at least one of a type of notification (eg, message reception notification, update notification, service notification notification, etc.), a part of the message, the name of the sender who sent the message, and the name of the chat room where the message was received. have. For example, the notification generating unit 520 may generate the notification message including the abbreviated information and the sender's name or partial information of the message. As another example, the notification generating unit 520 may also generate a notification message to be delivered to the messenger and a notification message to be delivered to the noti version for the same event. In this case, the notification generator 520 may generate the noti version of the notification message as information that is reduced by one step further than the notification message of the messenger. For example, the messenger notification message may include some contents of the message and the sender's name, and the noti version of the notification message may include only the sender's name.

In operation S630, the notification transmission unit 530 may deliver the notification message generated in operation S620 to another device registered in operation S610 in a one-way notification form, that is, a simple notification. The simple notification is implemented as a one-way notification delivered only to the client from the server 350, and unlike the notification implemented on the messenger, all of the read processing function, response function, data transmission function, etc. of the message are omitted, and the data required for the read processing is omitted. No synchronization is required. The notification transmitting unit 530 may omit all complicated functions required for processing a message, etc., to a device on which a messenger is not installed, and may simply transmit only one piece of minimal information indicating that a notification has been received in the messenger. . The user can recognize the notification of the messenger through the noti version even while the user is using another device on which the messenger is not installed, so that the device in which the messenger is installed can be immediately checked.

The preference for the simple notification may be set alone through the noti version, or may be synchronized with the notification preference set in advance on the logged-in messenger. The preference setting of the simple notification can be set individually for each messenger's chat room or conversation partner as well as the collective setting for the messenger. Preferences for simple notifications include whether you want to receive notifications, pause notifications, how to output notifications (sound, vibration, LED, etc.), when to pop up notifications (pop up when screen is off, pop up when screen is on), notification pop up May include whether the message content is exposed.

7 illustrates an example of a notification pop-up of a messenger.

Referring to FIG. 7, when the message reception notification is received from the server 350, the messenger may display a notification popup 700 on the screen of the device. In this case, the notification popup 700 may include a message reception time 711, The name 712 of the sender of the message and at least some contents 713 of the message may be included. In particular, a menu 721 for a reply function may be included as a function requiring data synchronization.

Figure 8 shows an example of the notification pop-up of the noti version.

Referring to FIG. 8, the noti version includes a notification popup 800 including only a message reception time 811 and a sender's name 812 on a screen of a device when a message reception notification is received from the server 350. Can be displayed. In this case, the message reception notification is a simple notification and a reply or feedback cannot be performed. The notification pop-up 800 may omit all functions that require data synchronization such as a message reading processing function, an answer function, and a data transmission function.

The noti version may display an unconfirmed number of simple notifications (a cumulative number of simple notifications not checked by the user). For example, as shown in FIG. The notification badge 920 indicating the number of unconfirmed notifications accumulated up to now may be displayed on a predetermined position (eg, a status bar) or a notification popup 800 of the corresponding device screen. The noti version may initialize the badge count internally in the noti version, not in a message reading processing method requiring data synchronization when a user enters a confirmation request for a simple notification.

In addition, the noti version may provide a reception list of simple notifications, for example, when a user selects the notification popup 800 as shown in FIG. 10, a notification received during a recent predetermined time (eg, one week). List 1030 may be provided. The notification list 1030 may be a list in which simple notifications are sorted in the order of recently received, and may be displayed by grouping simple notifications based on a unit time (for example, one day) or a sender. For simplicity and simplification of the noti version, it is also possible to keep only the most recently received simple notification without supporting the notification list 1030.

As described above, according to embodiments of the present invention, when implementing a service for providing notifications to multiple devices, a simple notification that does not require data synchronization is applied to some devices, thereby significantly reducing server tasks and reducing implementation complexity. have.
