Referring to FIG. 3 , in the method for providing a conversation service according to an embodiment of the present invention, an artificial intelligence character is generated by using the personality of a character selected by a user input (S310).

Here, in step S310, by selecting the gender, appearance (or face) and voice of the artificial intelligence character to be created, and finally selecting the personality, the user's desired artificial intelligence character may be created.

The personality of the artificial intelligence character selected by step S310 may include tension (or personality) and tone of voice, such as responsiveness, four-dimensionality, reticence, and the like. That is, the personality of the AI character may be determined by the item selected from the tension and the item selected from the tone through the user interface for selecting the personality.

That is, in step S310, as the user selects the gender, face (or appearance), voice and personality of the artificial intelligence character, the final artificial intelligence character desired by the user may be generated, and the artificial intelligence character created as necessary A name or nickname may be assigned by the user directly or randomly.

For example, when the gender of the artificial intelligence character to be created is selected as a female, as shown in FIG. 4A , faces preset or stored for a female are displayed in a partial area, and the faces displayed through a user's input Any one face 410 may be selected from among them. Of course, the face of the AI character can be selected after the user directly loads and uploads a photo, or can be selected after adding the face of the AI character. When the face of the AI character is selected in this way, as shown in FIG. 4B , a user interface for selecting a voice is displayed on the screen. As shown in FIG. 4B , as for the selectable voice, not only the voice corresponding to the face of the AI character selected in FIG. 4A but also the voice of another AI character can be selected, and various voice types, for example, "calm", " You can choose any one of the voice types: "Frozen", "Seductive", and "Aggressive". Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4B , when a celebrity voice and a basic voice are selected, a celebrity voice of the selected basic voice (voice type) is determined. As an example, in FIG. 4B , when “Hiyom” is selected as the celebrity voice and “calm” voice 420 is selected as the default voice, the artificial intelligence character selected by the user may make the calm voice of Hyyom.

When the face and voice of the AI character are selected by the user through the above-described process, a user interface for selecting the personality of the AI character is displayed on the screen in the next process. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 , the user interface for selecting a personality is an item 520 for selecting a tension of an artificial intelligence character, an item 530 for selecting a tone, and an item 530 for selecting the tension and tone. An example 510 of the converted conversation preview may be provided. Here, the tension may include characteristics such as responsiveness, four-dimensionality, reticence, and the like, and the tone may include "respectful", "chic", "normal", "aesthetic", etc., and the tension is the service of the present invention It is also possible to visually display the tension section to be recommended on the corresponding item.

Furthermore, the AI recommendation section may be changed according to a user's input. Also, in the dialog preview, the conversation of the artificial intelligence character may be changed by at least one of an item or position selected from tension and a selected tone. can help you do For example, if the user selects the tension item and selects the tone item one by one while changing the tone item, the conversation of the artificial intelligence character in the dialog preview is displayed differently according to the selected tone item, and the user selects the tone item. , When selecting while changing the position (or artificial intelligence character personality type) of the tension item, the artificial intelligence character in the dialog preview is displayed differently depending on the selected tension position, thereby helping the user to select the tension and tone of the artificial intelligence character. can give When gender, face, voice, and personality are all determined through this process, an artificial intelligence character can be created using the items determined by the user.

In addition, when only the face of the artificial intelligence character is displayed as for the artificial intelligence character generated by step S310, the hair style, background, color, etc. may be changed by the user's selection, and when the whole body of the artificial intelligence character is displayed The AI character's hairstyle, clothes (or clothes), place (or background), etc. may be changed by the user's selection.

As an example, as shown in FIG. 6 , when a clothing change related item is selected by the user to change the clothes (clothes) of the artificial intelligence character created while the whole body of the artificial intelligence character is displayed, the artificial intelligence character Clothes that can be put on are displayed. At this time, clothes are provided in a state of being classified by clothes style or preset items, and when any one clothes is selected by the user, the AI character is displayed as wearing the selected clothes. For example, in FIG. 6 , when the user selects any one of the clothes 610 from the casual category, the artificial intelligence character 620 displayed on the screen wears the selected one of the clothes 610 . In this state, when the apply button is selected by the user, the artificial intelligence character sets the clothes 610 selected from the casual item as the basic wear clothes.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 7 , when a place change related item is selected by the user to change the place of the artificial intelligence character created while the whole body of the artificial intelligence character is displayed, the artificial intelligence character is located Places (or backgrounds) where the place or background can be changed are displayed. In this case, preset backgrounds are provided for the place, and when any one place is selected by the user, the place or background in which the AI character is located is changed and displayed. For example, when the user selects one place 710 in FIG. 7 , the place where the artificial intelligence character displayed on the screen is located is changed to any one place selected by the user and displayed 720 . That is, the place of the AI character is changed from the place shown in FIG. 6 to the place 720 shown in FIG. 7 . In this state, when the Apply button is selected by the user, as the background or location of the AI character, any one location 710 selected in FIG. 7 is set as the default location or default background of the AI character.
