Description

{Method for message processing by providing combined expression image words}

The present invention relates to a message processing method. More specifically, the present invention relates to a message processing method for providing a feedback image item corresponding to a message.

In a message service such as a chat service, various types of expression methods such as emoticons and emojis are used to express emotions of users.

The emoticon is a symbol used to express the emotions of service users in the chat service. It is a combination of emotion and icon. The initial emoticon was created by a simple combination of various symbols and characters on the keyboard. In recent years, it has developed into a form that expresses the user's emotion through various types of character images.

In addition, unlike the emoji method based on the combination of characters, the method of outputting a pictorial character embedded in the font form of the platform system, a method of outputting an emotion expression image corresponding to the input emoji code is illustrated.

As the demand of service users for these emojis and emoticons increases, it has become common to specify various types of image items in a message service and provide them to service users.

However, existing image items are only intended to express or display the intention of the talker, and are not used to process other functions.

In addition, since existing message applications only output messages that are transmitted and received between each other, it is difficult to provide feedback on a specific message or classify personalized messages.

The present invention has been devised to solve the problems as described above, and by generating and providing a feedback image item capable of processing a feedback function between users in response to a message input on a message interface, a message beyond the function of simple expression of expression. The purpose is to provide a message processing method that enables mutual information exchange and mutual feedback within a user group using an application.

Method according to an embodiment of the present invention for solving the above problems, in a message service providing method, provides a message interface to the user terminal, and processes the messages transmitted and received through the message interface, the interface Providing one or more pseudo-expression image items that can be included in the message through the user terminal; Classifying and managing one or more pseudo-expression image items stored in the database according to the element information; And when a feedback image item is included in the pseudo-expression image item provided through the message interface unit, performing a driving process of the feedback image item according to user feedback information corresponding to the feedback image item.

In addition, the method according to an embodiment of the present invention for solving the above problems may be implemented as a program for executing the method in a computer and a recording medium in which the program is recorded.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, in response to a message input on a message interface, a feedback image item capable of processing a feedback function between users may be generated and provided, and according to a user driving input corresponding to a feedback image item, a message Interface-based feedback function processing can be provided.

Accordingly, the pseudo-expression image item is operated as a feedback image item that enables mutual information exchange and mutual feedback within a user group that uses a message application beyond a simple expression function, thereby increasing the utilization of the message application interface and the user. Convenience can be improved.

Can be provided as

For this, more specifically, referring to FIG. 3, the feedback image item driver 230 moves the query feedback processor 231, the response feedback processor 232, the importance processor 233, the link connection processor 234, and moves the bulletin board A processing unit 235 and a scoring processing unit 236 may be included.

The feedback interface image included in the feedback image item may be any one of a query feedback icon image, a response feedback icon image, an information message image, a composite information message image, an importance image, a link connection image, a bulletin board moving image, and a scoring image, According to the operation of each processing unit, feedback interface image-based feedback function execution may be processed.

When a query feedback item corresponding to a user message is provided from the message interface unit 225 to the user terminal 100, the query feedback processing unit 231 processes a query function driving requesting response information corresponding to the user message. .

To this end, the query feedback processing unit 231 feedbacks the query feedback item when response information corresponding to the query feedback item is input from another user or when the response information is obtained from pre-recorded message data or post data. It can be changed to a completed item, and the response information can be provided to the user terminal 100 that has transmitted a message including a query feedback item.

For example, the query feedback processing unit 231 provides feedback completion item conversion information and response information as the message driving unit 225 as the feedback driving information, and the message interface unit 225 provides the query feedback item according to the driving information. Switch to the feedback complete item, and provide a connection interface corresponding to the response information or response information at a position adjacent to the completed item.

Meanwhile, when a query feedback item corresponding to a user message of another user is provided from the message interface unit, the response feedback processing unit 232 corresponds to a user message of the other user according to a user input corresponding to the query feedback item. Provide a response input interface.

Here, the response input interface may include a text input interface for inputting response information, and the response feedback processing unit 232 may process text information of another user input as response information. In addition, the response feedback processing unit 232 may convert the query feedback item into the feedback completed item and transmit driving information to display the response text input at a position adjacent to the completed item to the message interface unit 225.

In addition, the link connection processing unit 234 may perform link connection processing for linking link information to the query feedback item according to a user input of another user terminal corresponding to the query feedback item.

For example, a different user may check a message including a query feedback item and input link link information of a web page that can refer to the answer.

To this end, the link connection processing unit 234 provides an address input interface for link connection through the message interface unit 225, and upon receiving the address input information of the other user, converts a query feedback item to the feedback completed item. Then, the driving information to display the link connection icon input at a location adjacent to the completed item may be transmitted to the message interface unit 225.
