The information registration unit 110 receives registration of basic information including at least one of a learning level, a learning purpose, and a topic of interest from the first user terminal 200 connected to the mobile app. Such basic information may be classified and managed as a Korean user DB in the information registration unit 110 . Of course, the information registration unit 110 may classify and manage other language user profile information registered by the second user terminal 300 connected to the mobile app into another language user DB distinguished from the Korean user DB.

The information matching unit 120 extracts at least one other language user information matching basic information from a pre-registered user pool of another language. The other language user list providing unit 130 provides a list of other language users to be recommended to the first user terminal 200 by using the extracted other language user information. Then, the first user terminal 200 may select one from the list of recommended other language users.

If one of the user lists of different languages is selected from the first user terminal 200 , the call connection unit 140 connects to the first user terminal 200 and the second user terminal 300 corresponding to the selected other language user information. It supports VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) based call connection between the two. Specifically, a voice call connection using a mobile VoIP (mVoIP) method may be provided between the first and second user terminals 300 .

The language exchange service providing unit 150 provides a mobile language exchange service while mediating voice information between the first and second user terminals 300 in the voice call connection state as described above on the mobile app.

The reservation status schedule may be provided in the form of a calendar, a table, or the like.

If the schedule management unit 170 receives reservation information including a reservation date or time from the first user terminal 200, it registers the reservation information, and reflects the reservation registration information for the date or time in the reservation status schedule and update Here, in the case of a date or time for which a reservation is already registered, the reservation registration function may be deactivated to prevent reservation or duplicate reservation by other users, and a separate standby reservation function may be activated.

When the reservation is set in this way, the call connection unit 140 simultaneously transmits a calling signal to the IPs of the first user terminal 200 and the second user terminal 300 when the reservation time corresponding to the reservation date or time arrives. The call connection is made automatically. In other words, the calling signal can be transmitted to both parties at the same time as the reservation time set in the mobile app, so that VoIP-based voice calls between the two are automatically connected without a separate call request or terminal operation by the user, and the corresponding lecture is scheduled for a fixed reservation. On-Time VoIP call service that can be made on time and on time becomes possible.

The other language user employment determination unit 180 provides the second user terminal 300 connected on the mobile app with the questions required for hiring a different language user step by step while recording the appearance of the other language user responding to the question, Based on this, it is possible to determine whether to hire a user of another language after receiving approval from the manager terminal. Of course, such a method of hiring other language users online is a part that can be selectively employed in an embodiment of the present invention, and if necessary, a language exchange service can be provided by mixing users of other languages hired offline.

Hereinafter, a method for providing a mobile language exchange service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the above description.

First of all, in order to use the service, the first user terminal 200 may need to access the mobile app in advance and then undergo a procedure for agreeing to terms and conditions and a registration procedure through inputting an email account and password. Since the second user terminal 300 corresponds to a user of a different language, a separate information registration and hiring approval process may be required in addition to the normal membership registration process.

The first user terminal 200 registers basic information including at least one of his/her learning level, learning purpose, and topic of interest as information for receiving a recommendation for an optimal user of another language suitable for him/her in a state connected to the mobile app. do.

Then, the mobile language exchange platform server 100 provides the first user terminal 200 with a list of recommended other language users suitable for the first user terminal 200 in the other language user pool it owns, and the first user The terminal 200 is connected to the second user terminal 300 of the other language user's side selected by each other to enable a mobile language exchange service.

3 is a flowchart of the mobile language exchange platform server shown in FIG. 2 and a service providing method through it. Hereinafter, a method of providing a mobile language exchange service using the mobile language exchange platform server 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 .

Receive (S310).

When the basic information of the Korean user is registered, the information matching unit 120 extracts at least one other language user information matching the registered basic information from the pre-registered other language user pool (S320).

In addition, the other language user list providing unit 130 provides the recommended other language user list using the extracted other language user information to the first user terminal 200 (S330). In step S330, a list of recommended other language users matching the basic information, a popular other language user list based on popularity, and a price based other language user list in order of price may be additionally provided.

When one of the recommended different language user list is selected from the first user terminal 200 , the call connection unit 140 connects to the first user terminal 200 and the second user terminal 300 corresponding to the selected other language user information. A VoIP-based call connection is performed between each other (S340).

For example, when one of the recommended different language users list provided through the recommendation order menu is selected from the first user terminal 200 , an information page for the corresponding other language user is displayed in an overlay or pop-up form, and the first user terminal 200 ), when the call button is clicked, a VoIP call is automatically connected between the Korean user and the other language user. Of course, in addition to this, a call may be connected immediately when a user of another language is selected from the first user terminal 200 , and a method of asking whether to make a call by providing a call connection menu immediately upon receiving a selection of a user in a different language may be possible.

In this way, in a state in which a call is connected between the first and second user terminals 300 , the language exchange service providing unit 150 exchanges mobile language while mediating voice information between the first and second user terminals 300 on the mobile app. A service is provided (S350). During the mobile language exchange service, lecture content screens can be provided on the mobile app, and real-time chatting and correctional guidance functions can be supported.

According to this embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to support an on-demand tutoring method in which a user is provided with a tutoring service by selecting a desired other language user at any moment when the user needs it.

Of course, in addition to the above method, an embodiment of the present invention may support an on time call tutoring method in which a call is automatically connected according to a reservation time set in advance in the mobile app. Hereinafter, an on-time VoIP call-based tutoring method using a reservation method will be described in detail.

In the case of the reservation method, the step S340 for call connection may be subdivided as follows. First, the lecture schedule providing unit 160 provides a reservation status schedule for the user of the other language when one of the list of users of the other language is selected from the first user terminal 200 . The reservation status schedule may be provided in the form of a schedule calendar as shown in the right screen of FIG. 5 , and may be provided in various forms such as images and tables.

Then, when the reservation time corresponding to the reservation date or time arrives, the call connection unit 140 automatically transmits a calling signal to each IP of the first user terminal 200 and the second user terminal 300 at the same time. Make a call connection. Of course, when the calling signal is transmitted, it is possible to provide a message on the screens of the first and second user terminals 300 including the content notifying that the calling signal is a calling signal according to a lecture reservation together with a call notification.

On the other hand, an embodiment of the present invention can provide study notes during mobile tutoring between users of different languages and students, and supports chatting and correction guidance functions. That is, the language exchange service providing unit 150 simultaneously provides lecture content matching the basic information of the Korean user to the first and second user terminals 300 . Here, the lecture content may be directly provided by the server 100 , but may also be uploaded by the second user terminal 300 . The server 100 can provide lecture content by operating a content DB based on a web platform that is linked with a separate content company, and provides a list of content for each learning purpose through the content DB during VoIP calls, and provides lecture details and You can manage the intensity, etc.

The language exchange service providing unit 150 first provides the correction guidance content of the second user terminal 300 for the text input by the first user terminal 200 on the study note screen or chat screen that provides lecture content. And it is possible to provide a language exchange service in a way that the screen of the second user terminal 300 is shared in real time.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the matching degree may be adjusted according to the frequency at which the user accesses the mobile app. That is, the information matching unit 120 adjusts the number of matching items of basic information used for the matching based on the recent access date or access frequency when the first user terminal 200 is accessed, but the recent access date is old or the access frequency is low. As it is lower, the number of matching items of basic information can be reduced.

For example, at the time of initial sign-up, a list of other language users matching all three items including learning level, learning purpose, and topic of interest is recommended. By gradually reducing matching items to one item or one item, a list of users of other languages with a low matching degree can be provided. . This function induces the user to increase the frequency of access, and through this, not only simple access, but also recommends users of other languages with excellent matching, leading to direct tutoring.

In addition, an embodiment of the present invention can provide an interest-based friend recommendation function on a mobile app, add it as my friend, provide it as a friend list, and provide a VoIP-based voice call and chat service with a friend. It is also possible to provide a list of contacted friends and a list of separately registered favorite friends.
