Description

채팅 서비스 제공 방법 및 이 방법을 실행시키기 위하여 매체에 저장된 프로그램Method of providing chat service and program stored in media for executing the method
본 발명은 채팅 서비스 제공 방법 및 이 방법을 실행시키기 위하여 매체에 저장된 프로그램에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a chat service providing method and a program stored in a medium for executing the method.
본 발명은 2016년 09월 26일 출원된 한국특허출원 제10-2016-0123378호의 출원일의 이익을 주장하며, 그 내용 전부는 본 명세서에 포함된다.The present invention claims the benefit of the filing date of Korea Patent Application No. 10-2016-0123378 filed September 26, 2016, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein.
이모티콘은 채팅 서비스에서 서비스 사용자들의 감정을 나타내기 위해 사용하는 기호로써, 감정(Emotion)과 아이콘(Icon)을 합성한 용어이다.An emoticon is a symbol used to express emotions of service users in a chat service, and is a term combining emotions and icons.
초창기의 이모티콘은 키보드에 있는 각종 기호와 문자의 단순 조합으로 만들어 졌지만, 최근 이모티콘은 다양한 형태의 캐릭터로 제작되어 채팅 서비스 사용자들이 텍스트 메시지를 사용하지 않고 이모티콘만으로도 간단한 의사 소통이 가능할 정도로 발전하고 있다.Early emoticons were made of simple combinations of symbols and characters on the keyboard, but recently emoticons have been developed in various forms of characters, so that chat service users can develop simple communication using only emoticons without using text messages.
이러한 이모티콘들은 채팅 서비스 사용자들의 다양한 감정, 동작, 상황 등을 대변하기 위해 매우 다양한 형태로 제작된다.These emoticons are produced in a variety of forms to represent various emotions, actions, and situations of chat service users.
여기서, 채팅 서비스를 통해 상호 간에 대화 중인 채팅 서비스 사용자들 중 일측 사용자가 소정의 질문에 해당하는 이모티콘을 타측 사용자에게 전송하면, 타측 사용자는 채팅 서비스에서 제공하는 다양한 이모티콘들 중에서 현재 자신이 일측 사용자에게 전달하고자 하는 답변에 걸맞은 이모티콘을 손수 검색 및 선택해야 하는 수고를 감수해야 하는 문제점이 있었다. 또한 지정되어진 한정 이모티콘에서 적합한 것을 찾지 못할 경우 감정 전달이 어려운 문제가 있었다.Here, when one of the chat service users who are talking to each other through the chat service sends an emoticon corresponding to a predetermined question to the other user, the other user is currently sent to the one user from among various emoticons provided by the chat service. There was a problem in that you have to take the trouble of searching and selecting emoticons by hand. In addition, there was a problem that it is difficult to convey emotions when a suitable emoticon does not find a suitable one.
이러한 배경에서, 본 발명의 목적은, 채팅 상대방으로부터 전달받은 소정의 질문 이모티콘 또는 특정 위치를 단말기 사용자가 터치하면, 소정의 질문 이모티콘에 해당하는 질문에 대응하는 답변 콘텐츠를 선택 또는 자동으로 채팅 상대방에게 전달하는 채팅 서비스 제공 방법 및 이 방법을 실행시키기 위하여 매체에 저장된 프로그램을 제공하는 데 그 목적이 있다.In this background, an object of the present invention, when the terminal user touches a predetermined question emoticon or a specific location received from the chat partner, the user selects or automatically answers content corresponding to the question corresponding to the predetermined question emoticon. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a chat service providing method and a program stored in a medium for executing the method.
전술한 목적을 달성하기 위하여, 일 측면에서, 본 발명은, 이동통신 단말기에서 채팅 서비스를 제공하는 방법에 있어서, 현재 채팅 진행 중인 채팅 상대방이 전달한 소정의 질문 이모티콘을 채팅창에 표시하는 질문 이모티콘 수신 단계; 상기 이동통신 단말기의 사용자인 단말기 사용자로부터 상기 질문 이모티콘에 대한 터치 입력 정보를 입력받는 답변 준비 단계; 및 상기 질문 이모티콘에 해당하는 질문에 대응하는 답변 콘텐츠를 상기 채팅 상대방에게 전달 및 상기 채팅창에 표시하는 답변 완료 단계를 포함하는 채팅 서비스 제공 방법을 제공한다.In order to achieve the above object, in one aspect, the present invention, in a method for providing a chat service in a mobile communication terminal, receiving a question emoticon displaying a predetermined question emoticon transmitted by a chat counterpart currently in progress on a chat window step; An answer preparation step of receiving touch input information on the question emoticon from a terminal user who is a user of the mobile communication terminal; And delivering an answer content corresponding to a question corresponding to the question emoticon to the chat counterpart and completing an answer displayed on the chat window.
다른 측면에서 본 발명은, 이동통신 단말기와 결합되어, 상기 방법을 실행시키기 위하여 매체에 저장되거나 학습되는 프로그램을 제공한다.In another aspect, the present invention provides a program, which is combined with a mobile communication terminal and stored or learned in a medium for executing the method.
이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명에 의하면, 이동통신 단말기가 채팅 상대방으로부터 수신한 소정의 질문 이모티콘 또는 특정 위치를 단말기 사용자가 터치하는 간단한 동작을 통해 이동통신 단말기가 채팅 상대방의 질문에 대한 답변 콘텐츠를 생성하여 선택 또는 자동으로 채팅 상대방에게 전달할 수 있기 때문에 종래에 이동통신 단말기에 기저장된 다수의 이모티콘 중에서 채팅 상대방의 질문에 걸맞은 이모티콘을 단말기 사용자가 손수 검색해야 했던 수고를 해소할 수 있다.As described above, according to the present invention, the mobile communication terminal generates the contents of the response to the chat partner's questions through a simple operation of the terminal user touching a predetermined question emoticon or a specific location received from the chat partner. Since it can be selected or automatically delivered to the chat counterpart, the terminal user has to manually search for an emoticon that matches the question of the chat counterpart among a plurality of emoticons previously stored in the mobile communication terminal.
또한 부재시 등 경우도 본인의 감정 및 상태 에 맞는 개인형 이모티콘이 자동 실행 되기도 한다.In addition, in the case of absence, personalized emoticons may be automatically executed according to one's emotion and state.
