<Processing> Next, the processing of the communication system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 9B. FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram showing an example of processing in the communication system 1 according to the second embodiment.

In step S1, the control unit 110 of the server 10 is to include the user A of the terminal 20A (an example of the "first user"), the user B of the terminal 20B (an example of the "second user"), and the terminal 20C. Various contents are transmitted and received in a group (conversation group) related to a chat room of users such as user C (an example of the "second user"). Here, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 of each user included in the group arranges the various contents transmitted and received in the group in the order of the old time of transmission and reception or the order of the new time (chronological order). be displayed on the screen. In addition, below, the display screen included in this screen is called a chat room screen. In addition, on the chat room screen, the area where the transmitted and received content is displayed in time series of the transmitted and received is referred to as "the first area". In addition, in the following description, the content transmitted from the user of the terminal 20 is displayed on the right side of the chat room screen, and the content transmitted from the user of the other terminal 20 is displayed on the left side.

Next, the accepting unit 210 of the terminal 20A accepts from the user A an operation to designate that predetermined content is important (step S2).

Next, the transmitting and receiving unit 212 of the terminal 20A transmits to the server 10 metadata indicating that the predetermined content selected by the user A is important (step S3). Here, the operation of specifying the important situation may be performed at least one of when the predetermined content is transmitted through the operation of the first user or after the predetermined content is transmitted.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen for specifying an important situation on a chat room screen at the time of content transmission. In the example of FIG. 3 , on the chat room screen of the terminal 20A, the icons 301A to 304A of each user included in the group are respectively assigned to correspond to and display messages 301B to 304B, and these messages are sent from each user. content person.

In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 3 , user A inputs a text message in the input field 305 , presses the important icon 306 , and presses the “send” button 307 . In this case, a message 308 showing "remember to bring your gift tomorrow" is displayed, and a message 308 with metadata indicating an important situation is added via the server 10 to the terminals of each user included in the group. 20.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen for specifying an important situation on a chat room screen after content transmission. In the example of FIG. 4 , on the chat room screen of the terminal 20A, for example, in response to pressing the message 308 , etc., an important icon 401 is displayed corresponding to the message 308 , and the important icon 401 is pressed. In this case, the metadata indicating that the message 308 transmitted from the user A is important is transmitted via the server 10 to the terminal 20 of each user included in the group.

In addition, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20A may designate, through the operation of the user A, content transmitted by a user other than the user A included in the group as important. In this case, as in the above example, when any one of the messages 301B to 304B shown in FIG. 4 is pressed, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20A displays an important icon corresponding to the pressed message. Then, when the important icon is pressed, the transmitting and receiving unit 212 of the terminal 20A transmits the metadata indicating that the content corresponding to the icon is important to each user included in the group via the server 10 terminal 20. Moreover, similarly, the control part 211 of the terminal 20B may designate the content transmitted by the user other than the user B included in the group as important through the operation of the user B.

Next, the transceiver unit 111 of the server 10 transmits the metadata received from the terminal 20A to the terminal 20A, terminal 20B, terminal 20C, etc. of each user included in the group (step S4-1, step S4-2, step S4-3,・・・). In addition, the transmitting and receiving unit 111 of the server 10 may not transfer the metadata to the terminal 20A, which is the transmission source of the metadata.

Next, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20A, the terminal 20B, the terminal 20C, etc. of each user included in the group, based on the received metadata, respectively, performs the specified content as important content ("important content"). Record, the predetermined content and the operation content (an example of "important content notification object") for displaying the predetermined content are displayed on the screen in a manner different from other contents (steps S5-1, Step S5-2, Step S5-3, ...). Here, the other content includes important content and content other than important content. Thereby, all the members participating in the chat room can easily confirm the contents of important messages, etc., and can share the knowledge of what information is important in the chat room.

5 to 7B are diagrams illustrating an example of a display screen for displaying one content designated as important and operational content for displaying the one content in a different form from other content on the chat room screen. . In the example of FIG. 5 , on the chat room screen of the terminal 20 , stickers 501B to 504B corresponding to icons 501A to 504A of each user included in the group are provided, and displayed as content sent from each user. Here, the sticker may also be, for example, an image combining photographs, illustrations, text, and the like.

In addition, in the example of FIG. 5 , in the chat room screen, the area above or in front of the first area (the "second area") that displays the contents of the transmission and reception in time series of transmission and reception, displays the area indicating that it is designated as important. The icon 505 of the quantity of content. In the example of FIG. 5 , the number "1" on the icon 505 indicates that the number of content designated as important is one. The icon 505 is provided for displaying content for operation (content for operation) designated as important content, and may also be called a GUI (Graphical User Interface) component. In addition, the appearance of the content for operation is not limited to icons and the like, and may be, for example, character strings, graphics, images, and the like. In addition, in the case of a character string or the like, the character string or the like is underlined, and the underline indicates a link to content designated as important.

When the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 is pressed by the user of the terminal 20 when the icon 505 of the operation content is pressed, as shown in FIG. 6A or FIG. The content, that is to say the area 601 that contains at least a portion of the message 308 designated as important is displayed. Here, the area 601 is an operation content, and the operation content includes at least a part of the content designated as important. In addition, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may associate with the area 601 and display at least one of the icon and display name of the user who designated the message 308 as important, and the icon and display name of the user who sent the message 308. at least one of .

In the example of FIG. 6A , an area 601 including at least a part of the message 308 designated as important is displayed so as to be superimposed on other contents sent and received in the chat room. For this reason, the message 308 is displayed more emphatically, so the number of operations for the user to find the message 308 from each content contained in the chat room screen can be reduced, and the load on the terminal 20 can be reduced. In addition, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may display the area 601 including at least a part of the message 308 designated as important so as not to overlap with other content transmitted and received in the chat room. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6B , the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 displays the other content at a position that does not overlap the area 601A (601) including at least a part of the message 308 designated as important. In this case, the area 601A is displayed above the first area in which the transmitted and received content is displayed in chronological order, so the first area is displayed less than the area 601A. In addition, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may designate the message 308 as the display name of an important user when the user presses the icon 601B, and display it in association with the message 308 displayed in the area 601A. In addition, in the example of FIG. 6B , the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 includes at least a part of the message 308 designated as important in an area 601A of a background different from the background of the chat room screen without displaying the icon 505 . show. In this way, even if the content specified as important is displayed at a prominent position for the user, it will not hinder the browsing of other content by the user, so the number of operations performed by the user can be reduced, and the load on the terminal can be reduced. .

Here, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may move and display each content other than the content specified as important on the screen in response to the user's operation such as sliding (an example of a "move operation"), and may also be used for operation. The icon 505 and the area 601 of the content are displayed at fixed positions without moving. More specifically, when the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 performs an operation such as sliding up and down on the touch panel screen by the user, the content such as stickers 501B to 504B sent and received in the group related to the chat room is also scrolled up and down. to be displayed. On the other hand, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 continues to display the icon 505 and the area 601 which are contents for operation at a fixed position such as the upper right without scrolling even if the operation is performed.

The control unit 211 of the terminal 20 can scroll and display the message 308 on the chat room screen of the terminal 20 at a predetermined position such as the top, the center, or the bottom when the user presses the area 601 . each content. The example in FIG. 7A shows the following situation: the message 308 is displayed on the top, and after the message 308 is sent and received, the contents of stickers 501B to 503B and the like are sent and received.

In addition, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may display the message 308 as It is displayed in a different display form from other contents. In the example of FIG. 7B , the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 displays the chat room screen so that the message 308 is positioned at the center in the vertical direction. The example in FIG. 7B shows a situation in which the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 vibrates the message 308A ( 308 ) horizontally as a display pattern different from other contents, and then the vibration gradually converges and stops for display. In addition, in the example of FIG. 7B , the message 308A and the area 601A are simultaneously displayed. Thereby, the user can easily recognize the displayed content designated by the operation on the area 601A.

In addition, FIG. 7 is an example of the chat room screen of the terminal 20A that sends the message 308, so the message 308 is displayed right-aligned. On the chat room screens of the terminal 20B, the terminal 20C, etc., the message 308 shown in FIG. 7 transmitted from the user A of the terminal 20A may be associated with the icon representing the user A and displayed aligned to the left.

FIGS. 8 to 9B illustrate an example of a display screen in which a plurality of contents designated as important on the chat room screen and operational contents for displaying the plurality of contents are displayed in a manner different from other contents. diagram.

In the example of FIG. 8 , icons 801 indicating the number of important contents are different from those in the example of FIG. 5 . In the example of FIG. 8 , the number "3" on the icon 801 indicates that the number of content designated as important is three.

When the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 presses the icon 801 which is an operation content, the chat room screen as shown in the example shown in FIG. 9A or FIG. 9B is displayed on the terminals 20A to 20C. In the example of FIG. 9A , area 601 , area 911 , and area 912 including at least part of message 308 , message 901 , and message 902 designated as important are displayed on the front of the screen.

In addition, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20, in the example of FIG. 9A , includes at least a part of the content designated as important as the operation content area 601, area 911, and area 912 at the time when each content displayed in the area is transmitted and received. The old order is displayed from above. Instead of this, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may arrange and display each content from the top, for example, in a new order according to the time when each content was transmitted and received. Alternatively, each content may be displayed in descending order in order of time when each content was transmitted and received.

The control unit 211 of the terminal 20 is based on the display screen of FIG. 9A. Like the example of FIG. 801, area 601, area 911, and area 912 are displayed at fixed positions without moving.

In addition, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may display only a predetermined number (for example, one) of a plurality of contents designated as important in a manner different from other contents. In this case, the same screen as in FIG. 6B described above can be displayed. In this case, when the user presses the icon 601B in FIG. 6B , the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 displays the area 601A, the area 911A ( 911 ) and the area 912A ( 912 ) in the first area as shown in FIG. 9B . upper part. Here, as shown in FIG. 9B , the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 can overlap with other content to display the area 911A and the area 912A. When the icon 951 in FIG. 9B is pressed, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may also return to the display screen in FIG. 6B . Alternatively, when the "minimize" area 952 in FIG. 9B is pressed, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 cancels the display of the area 601A, the area 911A, and the area 912A. For example, only the icon 801 in FIG. 9A is displayed, and the icon 801 is pressed by the user. , returns to the display screen shown in Fig. 9B.

In addition, as in the example of FIG. 5, when the user presses any one of the area 601, the area 911, and the area 912, the message displayed in the pressed area is displayed in a predetermined position such as the uppermost. Each content of the chat room screen.

Next, the accepting unit 210 of the terminal 20A accepts from the user A an operation to cancel the designation that the predetermined content is important (step S6).

Here, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 can, for example, display the icon 505 or the area 601 corresponding to the icon 505 or the area 601 when the user A presses and holds the icon 505 in FIG. the delete key. Then, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 can release the designation that the message 308 is important because the user A presses the delete key.

In addition, similarly, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 can display the icon 801, the area 601, the area 911 or the area 912 corresponding to the icon 801, the area 601, the area 911 or the area 912 when the user A long presses the icon 801, the area 601, the area 911 or the area 912. delete key. Then, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 can release the designation that the message 308, the message 901, or the message 902 displayed in the area corresponding to the delete key is important because the user A presses the delete key.

Alternatively, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may display a batch delete key according to a predetermined operation, and when the batch delete key is pressed, cancel the designation of important situations for all contents.

Next, the transmitting and receiving unit 212 of the terminal 20A transmits the metadata indicating that the predetermined content selected by the user A becomes less important to the server 10 (step S7).

Next, the transceiver unit 111 of the server 10 transmits the metadata received from the terminal 20A to the terminal 20A, terminal 20B, terminal 20C, etc. of each user included in the group (step S8-1, step S8-2, step S8-3,・・・). In addition, the transmitting and receiving unit 111 of the server 10 may not transfer the metadata to the terminal 20A, which is the transmission source of the metadata.

Next, the control unit 211 of each user's terminal 20A, terminal 20B, terminal 20C, etc. included in the group stops the predetermined content designated as unimportant based on the received metadata in a special manner. Display is performed (step S9-1, step S9-2, step S9-3, ...).

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen in which content designated as important is not displayed in a special manner on the chat room screen. Here, the control unit 211 of each terminal 20 does not display the icon 505 of FIG. 6 and the area 601 including at least a part of the message 308 designated as important as shown in FIG. 10 .

Also, when there are a plurality of contents designated as important, the control unit 211 of each terminal 20 stops displaying only one content designated as unimportant in a special manner. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen in which one of a plurality of contents designated as important is stopped to be displayed in a special form on the chat room screen. When the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 cancels the designation of the message 308 as an important situation according to the operation on the screen of FIG. 9A, as shown in FIG. . Furthermore, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 displays an icon 1101 indicating "2" which is a value obtained by subtracting 1 from the value "3" displayed on the icon 801 in FIG. 9A .

In addition, only one content designated as important may be displayed. When new content is designated as important, the control unit 211 of each terminal 20 changes the previously designated important content to unimportant content and deletes it for display or makes it non-displayable. On the other hand, the content designated as important by this designation is displayed in the area 601 in a special manner. This prevents accidental increase of content designated as important.

<First Modification> In the above-mentioned embodiment, an example will be described in which one user included in a group related to a chat room can also designate content sent by other users as important and cancel the designation. Instead, one user included in the group related to the chat room can designate as important and cancel the designation only for the content sent by itself. Thereby, for example, it is possible to prevent the display of the chat room screen from becoming difficult to understand due to an inappropriate operation of specifying or canceling the designation of other users in the chat group.

In this case, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 is, for example, shown in the chat room screen of FIG. Important icon 401. Then, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 does not display the important icon corresponding to the pressed message when any one of the messages 301B to 304B transmitted by the user of the other terminal 20 is pressed. . In this way, content sent by other users cannot be designated as important.

In addition, when the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 cancels the important designation, in the chat room screen of FIGS. When the area 601 is displayed at 308, a delete key corresponding to the area 601 is displayed. On the other hand, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 is in the chat room screen of FIGS. 9A to 9B . The delete key corresponding to the area 911 or the area 912 is not displayed. In this way, content that has been created and sent by other users cannot be canceled as an important designation.

<Second Modification> In the above-mentioned embodiment, the following example is described: when one user included in the chat room-related group designates predetermined content as important and cancels the designation, the other users included in the group The user's terminal 20 also displays the predetermined content in a special manner, or stops the display. Instead, or in addition, it is also possible to make the control unit 211 of the terminal 20, when the one user designates a predetermined content as important and cancel the designation, only on the terminal 20 of the one user, the The predetermined content is displayed in a special form, or the display is stopped.

In this case, for example, when the control unit 211 of the terminal 20A specifies that the content transmitted by a user other than user A is important, the terminal 20A does not perform the process of transmitting the metadata in step S3 to the server 10 . Thereby, without affecting the display of the terminals 20 of other users included in the group, it is possible to manage only the content important to the user A on the own terminal 20A.

<Third Modification> Instead of canceling the important designation in response to the user's operation, or in addition to this, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may be configured after a predetermined period (for example, 2 weeks, etc.; "the second period " an example), the important designation is automatically canceled.

In this case, for example, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 executes the process of step S7 when a predetermined period has elapsed after the predetermined content is designated as important by the user, and interprets the situation indicating that the predetermined content becomes unimportant. The data is sent to the server 10.

Alternatively, the control unit 110 of the server 10 executes the processes of step S8-1, step S8-2, step S8-3, ... when the predetermined period has elapsed since the user designated the predetermined content as important, and The metadata indicating that the predetermined content is not important is transmitted to the terminal 20A, terminal 20B, terminal 20C, etc. of each user included in the group.

Thereby, it is possible to prevent messages that become unimportant from being displayed on the chat room screen for a long period of time. Here, the predetermined period can be determined according to the number of users included in the group related to the chat room. As a non-limiting example, in a conversation room with N people, the predetermined period can be N days, 7 days for 2 to 10 people, 14 days for 11 or more people, etc.

<Second Embodiment> The second embodiment is a method of automatically selecting important content based on the content of transmission and reception in a group related to a chat room. In addition, since 2nd Embodiment is the same as 1st Embodiment except a part, description is abbreviate|omitted as appropriate. In the following, the description of the common parts with the first embodiment will be omitted, and only the different parts will be described. In addition, the contents described in the second embodiment can be applied to any of the other embodiments.

<Processing> Next, processing by the control unit 110 of the server 10 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 12 . FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing of the server 10 according to the second embodiment. In addition, the following processes can also be executed on the terminal 20 . In this case, for example, a user included in a group related to a chat room can be designated, and the server 10 can be executed on the terminal 20 of the user who has created the data of the chat room.

In step S101, the control unit 110 determines the lengths of the first period and the second period in the group related to the conversation room. Here, the control unit 110 may also determine the first period and the aforementioned second period according to the number of users included in the group. In addition, the second period may be longer than the first period.

As a non-limiting example, the control unit 110 can set the first period to N hours, the second period to N days, and the first period to 7 hours in the case of 2 to 10 people in a conversation room where N people participate. , set the second period to 7 days, and if there are more than 11 people, the first period can be set to 14 hours, and the second period can be set to 14 days, etc. In addition, of course, these various conditions may be combined, and may be determined based on the user's cancellation history of important designations, etc., or may be set by the user for each chat room.

Next, the control unit 110 selects important content based on the length of the first period and each content transmitted and received in the group (step S102 ). Here, the control unit 110 may, for example, send back or read the content within the first period by more than a predetermined number of users or more than a predetermined proportion (for example, 30%) of users included in the group, Choose what is important.

Here, the control unit 110 may make one content read when one content is displayed on the chat room screen in response to the user's operation, and may display the chat room screen in response to the user's operation. , so that each content sent and received at that point has been read.

In addition, the control unit 110 may transmit and receive predetermined content after a certain period of time after the content in the group is transmitted and received, and then, when other content in the group is transmitted and received within the first period, the other content may be transmitted and received. , it is determined to be a callback for the predetermined content.

Alternatively, the control unit 110 can determine the context of the content sent and received in the group, for example, using the results of machine learning such as deep learning, and determine whether the other content is a return to the predetermined content.

Next, the control unit 110 transmits metadata indicating that the selected predetermined content is important to the terminal 20A, terminal 20B, terminal 20C, etc. of each user included in the group (step S103).

Next, after the control unit 110 selects the predetermined content, the detection is performed during the second period (step S104).

Next, the control unit 110 transmits the metadata indicating that the predetermined content becomes less important to the terminal 20A, terminal 20B, terminal 20C, etc. of each user included in the group (step S105).

<Fourth Modification> The control unit 211 of each terminal 20 of the user included in the chat room-related group may execute the above-mentioned processing of step S101 and step S102. In this case, each terminal 20 may not send the above metadata to other terminals 20 via the server 10 . Thereby, important content in the conversation room can be automatically extracted on the terminal 20, and the extracted content can be displayed in a special manner.

<Effects of Embodiments> Conventionally, in the chat room screen, for example, when sending and receiving a plurality of returned messages for one message, the user needs to search for the one message while scrolling the screen. In this case, for example, for a message notifying tomorrow's meeting place, a message notifying the user's birthday, etc., when returning many known messages, messages of thanks, or blessings, etc., there may be a search The first message to be sent back takes time and effort.

According to each embodiment of the above-mentioned present disclosure, the information related to the predetermined content or the predetermined content is displayed on the screen in a different form from other contents. Thereby, predetermined content can be browsed more easily. In addition, since the operation change is easy, the processing load of the terminal 20 can be reduced as a result, and the like is also exhibited.
