The communication record may include at least one of a call, a text, a social network services (SNS), an attachment, and a chat. For example, the communication record may be obtained by a communication method arbitrarily defined with a specific other user. For example, the user terminal 10 of the delivery engineer providing the delivery service is a delivery item, a delivery place between the terminals of the user receiving the delivery service, for example, through a telephone call, a text message, a messenger, or an SNS. Information about the delivery time, the recipient, the receiving place, etc. may be obtained as a communication record, and the obtained communication record may be stored. The user terminal 10 may repeatedly store the delivery record every time the delivery is performed several times. The user terminal 10 may allow the delivery engineer to check communication records such as date and product, which are information about delivery, which are scattered and stored by various communication methods, at a time. As another example, the user terminal 10 may perform a search for the stored communication record by using a specific keyword such as a telephone number at the request of the delivery engineer. Accordingly, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user can easily search for the contents communicated with other users through various communication methods such as a call, a text message, a messenger, and provide them to the user at once. The presentation factor may include a setting of the user for at least one of a communication counterpart, a time, a weight, and a communication scheme. The user input may include at least a keyword. In the search, a graph of a plurality of schemes / forms may be generated according to a period, a weight, a communication counterpart, and a keyword. These different types of graphs can be displayed on the graph either superimposed or numerically to show the user better.

The controller 100 may control the display 120 to display a communication record corresponding to the expression factor area in response to a user touch input to the expression factor area of the displayed search result. When the search result for the communication record is displayed through the display unit 120, the user may touch a potent part (by communication counterpart, by time, by weight, and by communication method) that they want to find. The communication record corresponding to the touched portion of the user is provided to the user. For example, if the part touched by the user is part of the communication record that transmits the voice, text, and attachment, the voice communication record is provided through the voice output unit 170, and the text communication record is displayed on the display unit 120. It can provide the history of file transmission and reception. You can also download the file by touching the details of the file sent and received.

The controller 100 may control to provide a search result including at least one of a voice, a text, and an attached file.

5 to 11 are exemplary views illustrating a process of performing a search using the user terminal 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The user may retrieve a record of communicating with a specific counterpart on a specific day. Fig. 5 shows a search for a communication record for a voice call, a video call and a text on August 24 with Hannah as a specific counterpart. The graph of FIG. 5 is represented by a bar graph and shows the degree of communication details for voice call, video call and text over time. The graph shows that there were many voice calls around noon (12 o'clock) and 18 o'clock at lunch, and text and video calls at night. Zooming about the time axis on the graph may be possible.

In addition, the user may search the communication records for the voice call, the video call, the text and the shared file with Hannah from August 24 to 27 to obtain more specific search results. As shown in FIG. 6, the user terminal 10 may arrange the communication records for each communication method on the display unit 120 for each date. This will allow the user to retrieve a more specific communication record than in FIG. Zooming on the time axis may also be possible on the graph in FIG. 6.

The user may set weights for each communication method. In FIG. 7, a plurality of elements may be set and weights may be set for E-mail, Text, Chat, Voice, and Video call. The weight in FIG. 7 may be calculated by summing values obtained through the following elements for each communication method. In a communication method where real time is emphasized, the weight may be set higher. A user may set weights by changing elements when setting weights for each communication method.

FIG. 8 is a graph of the average weight for each time zone as an example related to the weight calculation of FIG. 7.

9, when a user searches using a specific keyword, the search result for each date may be displayed including a distribution or a numerical value.

FIG. 10 illustrates that the graph of FIG. 6 and the graph of FIG. 9 are displayed on one graph. Displaying call distributions and keyword searches in a single graph makes it easy for users to access the most likely parts.

FIG. 11 is a form of a final graph when the graph of the weight of FIG. 8 is expressed in the form of a graph showing the currency distribution and keyword search of FIG.

Although FIG. 5 to FIG. 11 describe the graph, not only the graph is provided to the user but also the communication record for the portion determined to be the most potent on the provided graph may be simultaneously provided. The communication record thus provided may disappear after a predetermined time. Each graph can be provided with related figures, and if the legend (communication method) provided with the graph is selected, it can be changed into a graph for one legend corresponding thereto. As such, the utilization of the graph is not limited.

12 and 13 are exemplary views illustrating confirming a communication record by using a search result using the user terminal 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the user touches a portion of the graph shown in FIG. 12A that is determined to be highly probable, a communication record may be provided as shown in (b). (b) may indicate that the communication record for the text exchange, the communication record for the voice call, and the communication record for the transmission of the attached file are immediately provided to the user.

In the screen of FIG. 13A, the user may touch the T1 portion of the graph. In response to the user's touch input, a communication record of the text exchange may be provided through the explanatory balloons A and B while the graph is displayed. This allows the user to intuitively know whether the user wants to communicate or not, so that the user can quickly search for it. According to the type of the user input, a communication record may be provided by an explanatory balloon, and as shown in FIG. 12, the graph image may disappear and specific information about the communication record may be provided. The explanatory balloon allows the user to view and listen to the communication record during the search process, so that access to the desired communication record can be quickly and accurately. An example of the balloon has been described, but is not limited thereto. It is possible to change the size of the graph to be smaller while providing communication records in the lower screen area of the graph rather than the explanatory balloons, and to provide a plurality of explanatory balloons. A graph may be shown.

By using the user terminal 10, the communication record can be managed at a glance, the history of the communication record can be efficiently searched, and the communication record is provided through a graph, so that the understanding of the entire flow is quick and easy. . In addition, by displaying the search results by communication method, user, time, and weight, it is possible to selectively check the search results with high possibility to quickly access the desired communication records.

While the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described so far, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the embodiments without departing from the spirit or spirit of the invention.
