Description

Electronic device providing messaging service and operating method of the electronic device

The present invention relates to a method and an electronic device for providing a messaging service.

With the development of information and communication technology, the dissemination and use of individual mobile communication terminals has become common. Correspondingly, the use of mobile messenger services including short message service (SMS) and multimedia message service (MMS) has become commonplace. As the messenger service has become commonplace, communication is often performed using the same messenger with various conversation partners, such as various age groups, acquaintances and non-friends, and work partners. In addition, in message services such as chatting services, various forms of expression methods such as emoticons and emojis are used to express users' emotions.

Meanwhile, as natural language processing technology develops, electronic devices may analyze the meaning of messages exchanged between users. Natural language processing technology may refer to a technology of processing a language used by humans for communication so that a computer can understand it, or a technology of expressing information processed by a computer in a language that humans communicate with. Accordingly, the electronic device may determine the intention of the message exchanged between the users using the natural language processing technology.

As devices become mobile or miniaturized, it becomes difficult to input text into the device. Therefore, when a message is received, there is an increasing need to transmit a response message suitable for the received message with minimal input.

In addition, as communication is performed using the same messenger as various conversation partners, a problem may occur in that a message is transmitted to a counterpart other than the intended counterpart by the user of the electronic device. Alternatively, since the same notification for message transmission/reception is displayed regardless of the conversation partner, the same notification may be received regardless of the importance of the received message.

Therefore, even if the same messenger is used, there is an increasing need to prevent users of electronic devices from making mistakes in sending messages by displaying a user interface including different visual objects on the display to display chat windows or message transmission/reception notifications for various conversation partners. are doing

According to an embodiment, in operation 312, the processor 110 may determine a keyword based on the number of transmissions of each of the plurality of keywords when the intent of each of the plurality of keywords is the same. According to an embodiment, the processor 110 may sort the transmission counts of each of a plurality of keywords and determine one keyword based on the sorted counts. Also, the processor 110 may generate an answer message based on the determined keyword.

According to an embodiment, when the intentions of the determined plurality of keywords are not the same, in operation 311, the processor 110 may generate a plurality of response messages based on the number of transmissions of each of the plurality of keywords. For example, it is possible to sort the number of transmissions of each of a plurality of keywords transmitted with at least one counterpart in a chat window, and to generate a plurality of response messages each including the plurality of keywords.

According to an embodiment, in generating the reply message in operations 301 to 312, the processor 110 may generate the reply message based on the category of the chat window as well as at least one keyword. Accordingly, even if the keyword has the same intention (content), the response message may be different according to the category of the chat window.

Referring to FIG. 4 , as the processor 110 executes the messenger application, the chat window described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 may be displayed on the display 120 .

According to an embodiment, the processor 110 may display a chat window screen including at least one visual object through the display 120 according to execution of the messenger application.
