Description

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING CHATTING SERVICE AS WELL AS
CONTENTS BY USING NETWORK
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present mvention relates to a system and method for providing chatting
service and contents on communications network. More specially, it relates to the system
and method for providing chatting service and contents on communications network to be
able to be provided real-time information selectively while a user is engaged in chatting.
BACKGROUND ART
The means of transmitting information among members of enterprises or social
groups have changed in many ways with the development of information technology.
There are generally four types of information transmission. Information can be
transmitted: (1) between people communicating at one time and in one place; (2)
, between people communicating at the same time but in different places; (3) between
people sending and receiving information at different times but in the same place; and (4)
between people exchanging information both at different times and in different places.
Some means of information transmission that were not possible in the past have now become common because of the development of information technology and they are
replacing the existing means of communication. Electronic mail (E-mail) used universally
by members of the present society and the systematic society is divided into the means for
information transmission at the different time and in the same space or at the different time
and in the different space.
However, since it takes some time to send and receive E-mail, which is not the
suitable means of communication for people who want to exchange information in real
time.
The new means of exchanging information replacing the defect is the chatting
system on the communications network.
The following, Let's explain briefly about the method for using the chatting
system.
After the member is connected to the web server providing chatting-service based
on the communications network for performing communication by means of letters among
the members, and then the chatting system create 'chat room' where they can
communicate with others about special subjects.
When chat room is created, chatting is carried out in writing among the users
connected to the site who access that room. And such a chatting system can identify the user ID of members connected to the
same 'chat rooms' or the user ID of standing members disconnected to the special 'chat
room' and peruse basic information.
After the member has finished using a chat room, he/she disconnects from it by
either logging off the chat site or moving to a different Internet site
However, until now chatting systems have been designed only to provide real-time
communication in writing among members who want to participate in chatting.
Consequently, one drawback of chatting systems is that members who participate in
chatting are isolated from other information that is being rapidly exchanged in real time.
Another problem with current chatting systems is that it is hard to develop them for
future communications purposes because information is shared only on limited subjects
and among a small group of users, and such systems lack access to other real-time
information.
Still another problem with current chatting systems is that users cannot be certain
about the accuracy of information they acquire because participants in chatting cannot be
restricted to people who are knowledgeable about particular subjects.
Also, still another problem with current chatting systems is that communication
can be brief and irregular. Also, still another problem with current chatting systems is that information
transmitted in writing is not up-to-date, because current chatting systems are unable to
provide accurate information on rapidly changing conditions or make use of graphics to
supplement such information.
Also, still another problem with current chatting systems is that they do not allow
the users to exchange information simultaneously, but only in one-sided exchanges; this is
because chatting systems cannot be altered to meet the needs of the users, even though they
can provide real-time information via a chat window.
Also, still another problem with current chatting systems is that members using the
chatting system for study purposes or just out of interest cannot take part in dialogues or
information sharing for a long period because chatting systems require all members to have
common interests in order to continue participating in chat rooms.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in
more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it is understood that the
present invention should not be limited to the following embodiments.
In explanations of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, terms will
be used that are defined as follows.
The chatting message is conversation information that a plurality of the users input
for providing the chatting service. The chatting message comprises CHATTING
CONTROL COMMAND and CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND.
The CHATTING CONTROL COMMAND means chatting message presented by
the text type of conversation involving a plurality of users. Such CHATTING CONTROL
COMMAND includes conversation information of special whisper function in addition to
ordinary text.
The CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND means chatting message that user
using chatting-service inputs in order to request contents. The CONTENTS CONTROL
COMMAND includes USER TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND and CONTENTS
TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND. USER TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND is to appoint chatting-participant in
order to share contents requested by special chatting-participant. For example, the USER
TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND is can be applied to the type of identification
symbol(/, %, = etc).
CONTENTS TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND is to appoint a kind or a type
of contents requested by special chattmg-participant. For example, the CONTENTS TYPE
APPOINTMENT COMMAND is can be applied to numerals or letters.
Accordingly, when a special chatting-participant inputs chatting-message in the
form of 7G Samsung electronic' or '= Samsung electronic, the symbols 7' or '=' to may
be recognized as being used in the USER TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND..
FIG. la is a schematic illustration of system for providing chatting service and
contents on the communications network in accordance with one preferred embodiment of
the present invention.
Referring to FIG. la, the system for providing chatting service and contents
comprises a plurality of user terminals(110a, 110b, ... , -below, name 110), a central
server(120) and an information-providing server(130).
Each user terminal(llθ) is able to make use of any other terminal provided that the
terminals (110) are equipped with a communication device so as to be able to connect with the central server (120) on the communications network. The user's terminal (110) may be
comprised of a computer, a mobile communication terminal, or a PDA.
The central server(120) can include a processor(122) and storage device(124) and
provide chatting service to a plurality of users. Also, the central server(120) can provide
the real-time information to the user when the user requests the real-time information or
the real-time information coincides with a defined condition
The storage device (124) can be used for various purposes: as a member
information storage device for storing information about members; as an environment-
setting storage device for storing mformation list that the user wants to be provided with;
or as a real-time information storage device for storing data that changes in real time on the
web.
Of course, information provided through the present of invention will be general
information(for example, non real-time information, historical information.) in addition to
the real-time mformation, but the present special action describes to focus on the real-time
information provision aspect of its function.
Moreover, the central server (120) can be organized so that it is divided into a
chatting server to provide a chatting-service and a real-time information server to provide
real-time information according to its intended purpose. The following simply explains the present invention by using a schematic
illustration of system for providing chatting-service as well as contents by using the
communications network illustrated FIG. la.
For convenience of explanation, the user terminal (110) referred to will be
assumed to be the computer.
The user selects the chatting-service connection to a central server (120), using a
computer (110) that is connected to the communications network. At this time, depending
upon the user's needs, the user can connect to the previously created chat room or create
the new chat room.
The user then inputs the chatting message (for example, "Hello") in the chatting
message input area previously created for processing chatting. The chatting message that
the user inputs is displayed on at least one screen of the user computer (110), which is
connected to an operating processor (122) in the central server's computer (120).
At this time, when the user wants the real-time information(for example, a current,
a volume, an upper limit, a lower limit, a composite stock price index) while chatting and
the user can input the request information in the chatting message input area, and then the
corresponding real-time information is output automatically in the real-time information
providing area. And the real-time information provided through the communications network
according to the request of the user is information that central server(120) collects from a
plurality of the connected information provision servers(130) and then stores in the storage
device(124). The corresponding real-time information can includes stock information,
news, entertainment news, sports news, internet broadcasting and public broadcasting.
The following flow chart illustrates in detail the method for automatically
displaying requested real-time information in a predetermined area and while the user is
chatting.
FIG. lb is a schematic illustration of the system for providing chatting service and
contents on the communications network in accordance with one preferred embodiment of
the present invention.
Referring to FIG. lb, the system for providing chatting service and contents
includes a plurality of user terminals(llθ) coupled to the communications network , an
operator server(140), a storage device(150) and an information-provision server(130).
A schematic illustration in FIG. lb is similar to that in FIG. la, the following is a
detailed explanation of the components of the operator server (140), and the method for
transmitting data between user terminals (110), and the operator server (140).
Through its connection with the user terminals (110), the operator server (140) performs various roles, constituting a member information server (142), a chatting server
(144), a real-time information server (146), and a command server (148).
The member information server(142) is the means of managing the information
related to the members including the registration of a membership and member information
amendments by the corresponding user.
The chatting server(144) is the means of transmitting the corresponding
CHATTING CONTROL COMMAND to a plurality of user terminals(llθ) or to the
special user terminal when the CHATTING CONTROL COMMAND is received from the
plurality of user terminal(llθ)
The real-time information server(146) is the means of processing operations
related to the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND when the CONTENTS CONTROL
COMMAND information including the chatting message is received from the user
terminal(llθ)
The command server(148) is the means of receiving the information related to
transaction including buy or sell from the user terminal(llθ) and transmitting the
corresponding information to the information-provision server(130) performing the
corresponding transaction.
A plurality of the servers is also able to operate separately and also connect with each other when doing the same work.
The following, referring to FIG. lb, explains another preferred embodiment of the
present invention.
The chatting server(144) receives chatting message(for example, includes the
conversation information, the whisper information, the CONTENTS CONTROL
COMMAND information) transmitted from the user terminal(llθ). When the
corresponding information is input to update the member information, the corresponding
information is transmitted to the member mformation server(142). Also when the
corresponding information is the CHATTING CONTROL COMMAND including the
conversation information and the whisper information, the corresponding information is
transmitted to the chatting server(144). When the corresponding information is the
CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND information including a quotation inquiry, the
corresponding information is transmitted to the real-time information server(146). When
the corresponding information is the transaction information such as selling the stock,
buying the stock, the corresponding information is transmitted to the command server(148).
Among other possible types of the inputted information, when the corresponding
information is the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND information such as the
quotation inquiry, the real time information server(146) searches the corresponding contents related to the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND information in the storage
device(150), and transmits the corresponding information to the plurality of user
terminals(llθ). In this case, a plurality of the user terminals(llθ) receives contents and
outputs when necessary, display the corresponding information on the display unit of the
user terminal.
Also, when contents searched in the real-time information server(146) is
transmitted to the chatting server(144) and it is necessary to transmit the corresponding
contents to the user terminal, the chatting server(144) transmits the corresponding contents
to the corresponding user terminal
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present
invention can provide the system to provide the chatting service along with the real-time
information to be able to being divided and that is transmitted from the user terminal
The information transmitted to the manager server(140) from the user
terminal(llθ) can be used to be restricted by a dividing method.
That is to say, the information can be organized into types, such as the member
information for input or updating of the information of the user, the conversation
mformation for output to an unlimited number of users, the whisper information for output
to the special user, the real-time request information for request perusing the current quotation of the item that the user wants, or the transaction request mformation, such as
buying or selling stock.
So, when an individual code is assigned to each kind of information item and that
code is transmitted with the corresponding information, the information won't be
concentrated on a special server and tasks can be performed by connecting with the
corresponding servers independently.
For example, the member information server(142) manages the information with a
"01" code, the chatting server (144) manages the information with a "02" code, the real¬
time the information server (146) manages the information with a "03" code, and the
command server (148) manages the information with a "04" code.
When the user terminal (110) transmits the inputted information to the operator
server (140), the information related to the member information is transmitted with the
"01"code, the information related to the CHATTING CONTROL COMMAND including
the conversation information and the "whisper" information is transmitted with the "02"
code, the real-time information is transmitted with the "03" code, and the information
related to the transaction request is transmitted with the "04" code. Those codes are
transmitted to the related server, which divides information according to its codes.
large amounts of information are not concentrated at one server but can be divided among numerous servers for management purposes, therefore the system is able to provide
a more efficient chatting service.
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of system for providing chatting service and
contents on the communications network in accordance with another preferred
embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, the system for providing chatting service and contents
includes a plurality of user terminals(200), a chatting server(210), a graphics server(220), a
price server(230) and a business information server(240).
Referring to FIG. la and FIG lb, an explanation of the same components of the
system will be omitted, but the system illustrated in FIG. 2 is very different in the
composition of the server.
That is, the composition of the server illustrated in FIG. la is explained as the
method of providing the chatting service and contents either using one central server (120
in FIG. 1) or a separate chatting server and real-time information server.
However, the system illustrated in FIG. 2 is composed of one chatting server (210)
and a plurality of real-time information servers (that is, the graphics server (220), the price
server (230), and the business information server (240)).
This information system is able to have separate servers for handling each kind of information independently, such as a transaction server, a stock option server in
addition to the graphics server(220), the price server (230), and the business mformation
server (240).
The chatting server (210) first collects real-time information transmitted from
the mformation provision server (130), and then assigns the information to the suitable
real-time information servers and transmits the information to the suitable real-time
information servers. In; other way, the division function can be processed for the
independent server, and then each real-time information server directly collects the
suitable information from the information provision server.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the
chatting server (210) can be comprised of two servers. For example, the chatting server
(210) can be divided into a server processing only the chatting messages and a web server
processing web functions. The web server authenticates the user inputting a user name and
a password. When the authenticated user selects the chatting service and contents on the
communications network provided by the present invention, the web server performs the
function of downloading the program to the user's computer, or else transmits the
necessary commands for services whenever services are requested.
Here, the program for downloading software to a client includes the command that divides the screen into at least three areas, assigning the first area to the chatting server and
the second area to the real-time information server. The format of the client's monitor
screen is determined by the download command. The screen is divided into at least three
areas (the first area, the second area, and the third area). The first area is assigned to the
chatting server, the second area is assigned to the real-time information server, and the
third area is assigned to the transaction server.
Referring to FIG. 2, the following is a concrete description of the system for
providing the chatting service on the communications network in accordance with another
preferred embodiment of the present invention.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is
provided with the system for providing the chatting service and contents on the
communications network to be able to provide real-time information for the suitable user
by making use of the chatting server(210) and each real-time information-provision server.
The user connects to the chatting server(210) in order to use the chatting service
with a plurality of other users. And, the special user requests the special real-time
information while chatting with a plurality of users by means of the chatting server(210)
and then the special real-time information is provided for the corresponding user or the
corresponding user with another. When the corresponding user requests for chart about a special item including a
daily chart, a weekly chart, a monthly chart, the chatting server(210) transmit the
corresponding CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND to the graphic server(660) and the
chatting server(210) receives the chart from the graphic server(660) and transmits the
received chart to the suitable user.
In the same way, when the user requests the contents, the chatting server (210)
transmits the corresponding CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND to the price server
(230). And when the user request the information concerning business reports for special
businesses, the chatting server (210) transmits the corresponding CONTENTS CONTROL
COMMAND to the business information server (240).
Because information-provision functions are divided among various servers, the
chatting server (210) only needs to manage the chatting and CHATTING CONTROL
COMMAND, and it is therefore able to efficiently manage the chatting service and
contents even when a plurality of users are chatting simultaneously.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present mvention, there is
provided with the system of chatting service and contents on the communications network
to be able to provide the real-time information for the suitable user by making use of the
chatting server(210) and each real-time information-provision server. The chatting server(210) receives the mformation provided by the real-time
information-provision server and transmits the information to the user. So the chatting
server(210) intervenes in the process of the real-time information provision indirectly.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the
real-time information provision server receiving the special CONTENTS CONTROL
COMMAND from the chatting server(210) can provide the corresponding real-time
information to the user directly(that is, not via the chatting server(210))
Accordingly, when the user requests the daily chart, the chatting server(210)
transmits the corresponding CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND to the graphic
server(220), and the graphic server(220) search for the daily chart stored in the storage
device and directly transmits the searched daily chart to the user.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention, there
are provided with the system for providing the chatting service and contents on the
communications network to be able to provide the real time information output only based
on users' needs by inspecting the real-time information transmitted from the chatting
server (210) to the user terminal.
When user inputs the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND while chatting, the
chatting server(210) transmits the corresponding CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND to the real-time information provision server corresponding to the CONTENTS CONTROL
COMMAND received from the user and receives corresponding mformation from the
corresponding real-time information provision server.
When the chatting server(210) transmits the real-time information received from
the real-time information-provision server to all user connected to the corresponding 'chat
room', the real-time information, when necessary, can be output on the screen of the user
terminal by operating the chatting program established the user terminal.
FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating the synchronization of chatting information and
the real time information in accordance with one preferred embodiment of the present
invention.
FIG. 3 shows data flow between user computers and the central server(120) for the
synchronization of the chatting information and the real-time information.
Referring to FIG 3, the user is connected to the central server(120) by means of the
user computer connected to the communications network and transmits the connection
information including the user identification(ID) and the password through the
communications network in step 300.
The central server(120) searches for the storage device and inspects whether or not
the connection information received from the user computer through the step 300 is valid in the step 302.
when the connection information is valid, processes to the step 304, the connection
approval information is transmitted to the user computer through the communications
network.
Of course, when the connection information is not valid, the central server(120)
request inputting the correct connection information or request that the user registers for
the membership.
The user transmits the connection request information requesting connection to the
special 'chat room' in order to process chatting with a plurality of users to the central
server(120) by means of the user computer in step 306.
Moreover, in this case, the corresponding user is able to create their own new chat
room or can connect to a chat room created previously by another user.
The central server(120) searches for the chatting program(for example, chatting
applet) in the storage device in step 308. Thereinafter, in step 310, the central server(120)
transmits the chatting program searched through the step 308 to the user computer through
the communications network (110)
The user computer receives the chatting program transmitted through the step 310
in step 312. The received chatting program is established in the user computer and functions automatically (At this point, the chatting program can be established either
permanently or temporarily in the user's computer according to the situation.).
And, the chatting program established in the user computer receives the
initialization information for setting up a chat room via the central server (120) in step 314.
The user transmits the chatting message input in the chatting message input area of
the 'chat room' screen output in the user computer screen to the central server(120)
through the communications network in step 316.
The central server(120) inspects whether or not the chatting message received for
the step 316 is input and transmitted on a special object.
The chatting message received for step 318 is the CHATTING CONTROL
COMMAND to process chatting or the whisper or the CONTENTS CONTROL
COMMAND for requesting the real-time mformation.
Also, when the corresponding chatting message is the CONTENTS CONTROL
COMMAND for requesting the real-time information, the user can select one from the
group of only corresponding users transmitting corresponding chatting message , all user
connected to the same 'chat room' , only partial user in the same 'chat room'
The central server(120) transmits corresponding information(that is, the
CHATTING CONTROL COMMAND or the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND) to the suitable user according to the results of the inspection in step 318. After this, describe
in detail referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 about the step 318 and step 320.
FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating the steps of providing chatting message in
accordance with still another preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 4, the user terminal performs the chatting program received from
the central server(120) in step 400.
In running the chat program downloaded in step 400, the user transmits connection
request information to the chatting server (either the operator server or a special kind of
real-time information server when the operator server is comprised of a group of servers),
which operates the chatting program (for example, a chatting applet) in step 402.
The central server transmits the initialization information to set up the
corresponding chat room based on the connection request information received by the
chatting server in step 402 and step 404. (When there is a plurality of servers, the central
server is the special chatting server and other servers are called "chatting servers.")
The user terminal inspects whether or not the user terminal is connected to the
chatting server based on the received initialization information.
When the user terminal is connected to the chatting server, processes to the step
408. When the user terminal is not connected to the chatting server, the step is ended or the central server can perform the chatting server connection request repeatedly processing to
the step 402. the user terminal displays a plurality of input areas (for example, a chatting
window and a "whisper" message area), an area for inputting the chatting messages, and
an area for outputting the conversation mformation corresponding to the CHATTING
CONTROL COMMAND.
Also, the contents corresponding to the real-time information list appointed
previously by the user is transmitted on the screen of the user terminal in real time.
Then, the user inputs the chatting message on the chatting message input area in
step 410 and the chatting server receives the conversation information input in step 412.
The step transmitting the chatting message input in the step 412 to the chatting
server includes the step to insert a message folder expressing character of the chatting
message,
Also, the step to insert the message folder to be able to be included in the step 412
can be used to grant the suitable code according to the character of the corresponding
chatting message.
The chatting server can differentiate between the conversation information and the
"whisper" information (that is, the conversation information provided only to the special
user) by means of the code information or determining whether the message folder was inserted in step 412.
We will now describe in more detail the conversation information used to process.
For example, When a particular user (for example, a user with the ID "estorm") inputs
the conversation information, "Hi," using the chat window area, the conversation
information is transmitted to the chatting server in the form,
"##CHATTING##estorm#$lHi#$12."
That is, the conversation information received by form of
'[##CHATTING##]#$l[contents]#$[letter color]' is output on all user screen connected to
the same 'chat room'.
Also, let's look into the conversation mformation for the whisper. For example,
when the special user(for example, user to have identification of estorm)inputs the whisper
of 'This is whisper' using whisper area and transmits the conversation information to the
user to have "hee'ID, the form received to the chatting server is '##TO##estorm#$lhee#$l
this is whisper#$12'
That is, the conversation information received by form of
'[##TO##][transmitter]#$l[recipient]#$l[contents]#$ [letter color]' is output on the user
screen appointed of recipient.
The use of the corresponding conversation information is classified by including the message folder divided about each conversation information.
The chatting server inspects whether or not the chatting message received through
the step 412 is the general conversation information or the whisper information in step 414.
When the corresponding chatting message is whisper, the chatting server searches
for user connected to the corresponding chat room and transmits the corresponding
conversation information to the searched the user terminal in step 418.
Also, when the corresponding chatting message is not the whisper information, the
chatting server searches for all user(it includes the user inputting the chatting message)
connected to the corresponding 'chat rooms' and transmits the corresponding conversation
information to a plurality of the searched user terminals .
The user terminal(that is, the user terminal can mean the chatting program
processed in the user terminal) outputs the conversation information received through the
step 418 or the step 416 on the screen of the user terminal in step 420.
The user terminal(that is, the chatting program) inspects whether or not the user
finishes the chatting in step 422.
The method to confirm whether or not user finishes chatting in the step 422 is able
to apply to the method that the corresponding user confirms the end request of the chatting
program(for example, chatting applet) or method to recognize the end of chatting when the user doesn't input the chatting message for definite time(for example, 30 minutes)
when the user doesn't finish chatting, the central server waits until the user inputs
the chatting message in the step 410.
Also, when the user finishes the chatting program in the inspection result of the
step 422, the step is ended.
FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating the synchronization of the chatting information
and the real time information in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the
present invention.
Referring to FIG. 5, the user to want chatting connects the chatting server and
performs login to input user ID and Password in the step 500.
The chatting server confirms whether or not the input user ID and Password are
suitable contents for chatting.
when the input contents are suitable for chatting, processes to step 506. And when
the input contents are not suitable for chatting, the user processes and performs registration
of the membership in step 504.
The step 504 may include to display an alarm message 'it is not member' on the
screen or to move to the page of the registration of the membership.
The registered matter is stored in the storage device of a member information server, processes to the step 502 to input user ID and password again.
When the input information is suitable contents for chatting in the step of 506, the
chatting server confirms whether or not it changes environment setting information of the
real-time information list to want the user to be provided. The confirmation step for the
change of environment setting of the real-time information list may apply to icon or
hyperlink displayed on the screen.
When it doesn't change the environment setting in step 512, the basic real-time
information is displayed and simultaneously the chatting server is activated.
The basic real-time information includes the information to be provided generally
in case of a new user and the information to be the suitable environment setting changed
existing in case of the existing user.
Multiple frames composed of the real time information and the chatting screen
activated by the chatting server is displayed simultaneously on one screen.
The real-time information server confirms in the step 514 whether or not the new
mformation corresponding to the real-time information list establishing the user renews
existing information.
When the new information doesn't renew, the real-time information server
processes to the step 512 repeatedly till existing corresponding to mformation When the new information renews, the information in the real-time information
area is renewed in step 516. Also, when the user changes setting of the real-time
mformation list in step 508, the changed matter is stored in environment setting storage
device of the real-time information list. The real-time information corresponding to the
changed information list is displayed in information area in step 510 and activated the
chatting server simultaneously. The chatting server receives the chatting message from at
least one selected from the group of the users in step 518.
The chatting message that the chatting server receives through the step 518 may be
the chatting message(that is, the CHATTING CONTROL COMMAND) to chat or the
chatting message(that is, the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND) to request the real¬
time information.
And, the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND may be organized into various
types.
(1) the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND(that is, USER TYPE
APPOINTMENT COMMAND-hereinafter referred to form '/Samsung electronic').
established providing the corresponding real-time information for only user requesting the
corresponding real-time information, the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND(that is,
USER TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND-hereinafter referred to form '=Samsung electronic') established providing the corresponding real-time information for all user
connected to corresponding 'chat room', the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND(that is,
USER TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND-hereinafter referred to form '%Samsung
electronic') established providing the corresponding real-time information for user except
user requesting the corresponding real-time information.
Also, when a special user(user to have identification of estorm) inputs and
transmits the chatting message of form 732680', the central server recognize the message
in order to request the real-time information about the special item based on the special
symbol 7' among the received chatting messages. And the central server searches the real-
time information about the item corresponding to '32680 '. and outputs in the chatting
message output area or in a special window or the real-time information provision area.
For example, When the real-time information request input thorough chat window
area is '/32680', form of the chatting message received to the chatting server is
'##CODE##estorm#32680#$2'. That is, it is received by the form of
' [##CODE##] [sender] $2[corresponding code of special item]#$2[letter color] '
The central server inspects in step 520 whether or not the chatting message
received through the step 518 is the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND including
USER TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND. When the chatting message is not the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND in
order to request the real-time information (that is, in case of CHATTING CONTROL
COMMAND to process chatting), the central server processes the chatting service in step
522, otherwise processes to step 524.
That is, the central server distinguishes the CHATTING CONTROL COMMAND
is composed of the form of the letters from CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND to
request the real-time information including the identification symbol(for example, /, =, %
etc).
The step 522 means the step to perform operating corresponding to the
CHATTING CONTROL COMMAND of the whisper or the general chatting.
The central server inspects in the step 524 whether or not the chatting message
received through the step 518 is CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND (that is, USER
TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND) to appoint object for providing real-time
information.
That is, the central server judges that the user requests the real-time information
without appointing to a object when the user named hong-gil-dong requests the real-time
information by form of '=Samsung electric'. When the user requests the real-time
information by form of '/Samsung electric' or '%Samsung electric', the central server judges that the user requests the real-time information with appointing to the object.
When the chatting message is the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND to
appoint to an object to inspection result of the step 524, the central server processes to step
526 and when not the central server processes to step 532.
The central server searches for real-time information corresponding to the item
requested by the user among the real-time information received from information
providing server(130) and stored in the storage device in the step 526.
When the user named hong-gil-dong requests the real-time information by form of
'/Samsung electric' or '% Samsung electric', the central server searches for the real-time
mformation about 'Samsung electric'(for example, the present price, a transaction quantity,
kosdaq 80, KOSPI200)
Of course, when the user appoints a kind of the corresponding real-time
information(that is, in case of inputting contents type command), the only appointed
information may be output on the user terminal.
That is, when the corresponding real-time information is the stock quotation,
information that the user wants is the daily chart and the identification code named daily
chart is appointed 'G', the user can receive the daily chart by means of inputting the
identification code-named 'G' among the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMANDS. And, the user unknown identification code can obtain the same result by means of
inputting an English term corresponding to 'daily chart' in English or inputting daily chart
by means of hangul.
Also, such method can be applied to the similar all area of essential stock
quotation without being limited to the daily chart.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the
server can provide the corresponding information according to the input information that
the user classifies the mformation like 732680-1' or 732680-2' in chat window.
For example, the selected information is the current price information with the '-1',
the selected information is the transaction quantity with the '-2', and the selected
information is the daily chart with the '-3'. And then the server decreases the load because
the quantity of the information provided from the server is controlled.
Also, the user can peruse the real-time code information without inputting the
form of the special symbol, the special code and selection information by making use of
selection item included in the chat window.
The central server searches for the appointed target for user to provide the real¬
time information in the step 524. When the user named hong-gil-dong requests the real-time information by the
form of '/Samsung electric', the central server searches for communication information
(for example, connected IP address etc) of the user named hong-gil-dong in order to
provide the corresponding real-time information.
Also, when the user named hong-gil-dong requests the real-time information by
the form of '%Samsung electric', the central server searches for the communication
information (for example, connected IP address etc) of the user except hong-gil-dong(that
is, the user named sung-chun-hang, hyung-bu) to provide corresponding real-time
mformation.
Also, the target to provide the real-time information can be searched through the
synchronous information.
The synchronization information is the information to hold the provided real time
information requested from the user and a plurality of other users selected by the user.
For example, the form of the conversation information including synchronization
is received by the form of '[##SYNCH##][sender]#$l[receiver]#$l[synchronous contents]'.
The synchronization of contents can be presented 'share' in case of 'information share' and
'reject' in case of 'information rejection'.
The central server transmits the corresponding real-time information about the corresponding item searched through the step 526 to the target using the communication
information of the searched target.
Also, in case of appointing for user to the special information as explain for the
step 526, the central server can transmit only appointed information to the corresponding
user.
Referring to the step 524 again, when the chatting message received through the
step 518 is the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND without appointing to the target, the
central server processes to the step 532.
That is, it means that the user named hong-gil-dong requests the real-time
information by form '=samsung electric'.
Also, in case of appointing for user to the special information as explain for the
step 526, the central server can transmit only appointed information to the corresponding
user.
The central server searches for the real-time information(the corresponding
information in case of appointing the contents type) corresponding to item requested by the
user in the storage device in the step 532, the corresponding user searches for all user
connected to the 'chat room' that the corresponding connect., processing to the step 534
and transmits the corresponding real-time information to corresponding user through the 530.
The method to be provided the real-time information distinguishably through FIG.
5 can apply to all information(for example, a internet broadcasting, news, sports news
etc)to be able to be provided in the real-time information area .
That is, For example, let's explain the internet broadcasting output in the real time
information provision area and a plurality of internet broadcasting established a channel
form(for example, maekyung TV-CHI, WOW TV-CH2 etc)
In case of presenting 'wow TV in the real-time information provision area of the
current special user, the user can change the corresponding internet broadcasting channel
into form of '/CHI', '%CH1', '=CH1'.
The central server can present the same broadcasting to the other user or change
the channel by only corresponding user according to each identification symbol(that is, %,
/, = etc).
Also, such concept can apply to similarly about the output information about the
real-time news.
That is, when the real-time news about football in the current real-time
information provision area is provided and the special user want to peruse a major game
result to take the mound for Park-chan-ho, the user can be provided or can provide information to want for the other user by form of 7 Park-chan-ho+ game result ', '% Park-
chan-ho+ game result ', '= Park-chan-ho+ game result '
Also, when the user inputs internet broadcasting channel change request while
presentation of sports news, the user terminal can be presented internet broadcasting of the
corresponding channel instead of sports news.
The user can use form of a telelecture , a audiovisual lecture and teleconference
using function to hold in common the special information with at least one of user.
FIG. 6 is a flow chart illustrating the synchronization of the chatting information
and the real time information in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the
present invention.
The FIG. 6 present a data flows among the user terminal, the central server and a
information-provision server.
Referring to FIG 6, the central server receives information(for example, a stock, a
present, a option)in real time from the information-providing server in step 600. The step
600 is processed in real time or in repeated whenever the new information is renewed in
the information-provision server.
The central server stores the real-time information received in the step 600 in the
storage device of the central server in step 602. Hereinafter, the central server receives the connection information including the
ID and password from the user terminal connected with the communications network in
step 604.
The central server inspects whether or not the connection information received in
the step 604 is valid in step 606 by means of the method for searching the storage device.
The storage device applying in the step 606 can be used to a plurality of storage
device group that comprises the member information storage device to store the member
information, a environment setting storage device of the real-time information list to store
information list that user want to be provided, a real-time information storage device to
store the real-time data to change in real time on web.
When the connection information is confirmed as the valid connection information
through the step 606, the central server transmits the connection approval information
through the communications network to the user terminal in step 608.
A plurality of chatting area including the real-time information corresponding to
the appointed information item that the user wants to be provided for through step 608 is
displayed on the screen of the user terminal.
The central server receives selection information for the special 'chat room'
among a plurality of chat areas(for example, a kosdaq 'chat room', a Samsung electric 'chat room' etc) displayed on the screen of the user terminal in step 610.
The central server can transmit the connection approval information about the
connection request to the chatting area based on the received through the step 610, and
simultaneously adding the real-time information that the user wants to be provided in the
step 614 using the communications network.
An information form to be provided to the user terminal using the communications
network in the step 612 and the step 614 is displayed on the screen of the user terminal as
FIG 9a. Hereinafter, explain in detail referring to FIG. 9a.
Hereinafter, the user is able to chat with a plurality of users using the chatting area
displayed on the screen.
The central server receives the chatting message to be transmitted and input from a
plurality of user terminals in step 616.
The central server stores the chatting message received in the step 616, and
confirms whether or not the chatting message include the CONTENTS CONTROL
COMMAND information about the special item.
Also, the central server can further include the step to abstract the real-time
information about the corresponding item by means of searching for the storage device
based on inspection result in step 618 or to receive the corresponding information requesting the real-time information of the corresponding item to the information-provision
server.
The CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND information inspection of the
! corresponding item in the step 618 explains in detail referring to FIG. 7.
Hereinafter, in step 620 the central server transmits the chatting message received
in the step 616 and the real-time mformation abstracted for inspection of the step 618 to a
plurality of the users(for example, a plurality of the users connecting in the same chat area).
Also, after inspecting the storage device repeatedly, confirming renewal of the real
time mformation, when the real time information exists, the center server transmits the real
time information to the user terminal while chatting. In step 626, the user decides whether
transaction about a special item information is or not based on the real-time information for
step 622 and step 624. When the user input the transaction information on the same screen
in case of deciding transaction, the transaction request information of the user is
transmitted to the transaction server in real time. That is, the transaction request
mformation input for the user transmits to the web site processing the stock transaction by
the transaction server. So screen displayed the user terminal is including link for the web
site.
A special user can process the transaction in real time using the step 626 without calling at the corresponding company homepage for the transaction of special item or
requesting transaction by telephone or calling at the corresponding company.
The transaction server receiving transaction request mformation for the step 626
process the corresponding transaction, thereinafter transmits the performance result to the
corresponding user terminal for the communications network in step 628.
FIG. 7 is a flow chart illustrating for providing chatting service and contents on the
communications network in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present
invention.
Referring to FIG. 7, the user terminal processes the chatting program received
from the chatting server in step 700.
When the chatting program(for example, the chatting applet etc)is processed for
the step 700, the user terminal transmits to the chatting server(it may be the chatting
server constituted one or the special server in case of constituting to a plurality of real-time
information-provision server except the chatting server)the connection request information
for the chatting program itself operation.
The chatting server(it may be a special server in case of comprising a plurality of
real-time information-provision server but the following called the chatting server for
convenience of explanation) transmits a initialization information for corresponding 'chat rooms' connection based on chatting server connection request transmitted for step 702.
The user terminal inspects whether it connect to the chatting server or not in step
706. by using the receiving initialization information
When the user terminal is connected the chatting server for inspection result of the
step 706, it processes to step 708 and when not the step is ended.
Also, when the user terminal is not connected the chatting server for inspection
result of the step 706, the user terminal can perform repeatedly the step to transmit
connection request to the chatting server, processing to the step 700 again.
The chatting program established the user terminal is initialized the 'chat rooms'
information using the initialization information received for the step 704 and the step 706
in the step 708.
When the 'chat room' mformation is initialized for the step 708, the user terminal
display area is displayed at least one of chatting message input area(for example, the
whisper input area, the chatting message input area)for the user to be able to input chatting
message and a chatting message display area
The chatting program is input the chatting message from the user in step 710 and
transmits to the chatting server the corresponding chatting message for the
communications network, processing to step 712. The step transmitting to the chatting server the chatting message for the step 712
may include the step inserting each independent message folder according to use of the
corresponding chatting message.
That is, when the corresponding chatting message includes the USER TYPE
APPOINTMENT COMMAND or the CONTENTS TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND,
the chatting server can insert the message folder to be appointed independently
corresponding to the corresponding command.
In case of inserting the described message folder, the chatting server receives the
corresponding chatting message and then the chatting server may be performed work
requested by the corresponding chatting message not performing a special chatting
message change work.
The chatting server inspects in the step 714 whether the chatting message received
for the step 712 is the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND or not.
When the chatting message is not the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND
received for the step 712 for the inspection result of the step 714, the chatting server
performs the chatting service processing to the step 716 and then processes to the step 710.
Of course, when the chatting message is not the CONTENTS CONTROL
COMMAND but the CHATTING CONTROL COMMAND for the inspection result of the step 714, the chatting server transmits the corresponding chatting message to a plurality of
user and then the corresponding chatting message is displayed on the corresponding user
terminal display screen.
Also, when the corresponding chatting message is not the CONTENTS
CONTROL COMMAND but the whisper for the inspection result of the step 714, the
chatting server transmit the corresponding chatting message to only suitable user., the more
concrete explanation refers to FIG.4
Also, in case of the chatting message received for the step 712 is the CONTENTS
CONTROL COMMAND for inspection result of the step 714, the chatting server
processes to step 718.
The chatting server inspects in the step 718 whether the chatting message (that is,
CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND)received for the step 712 is the CONTENTS TYPE
APPOINTMENT COMMAND or not.
The CONTENTS TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND to appoint a kind of a
real-time information for the user to want to be provided can apply to appoint method to
appoint constituting a special identification symbol every kind of each the real-time
mformation.
That is, the CONTENTS TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND is to apply to 'G' called daily chart and 'P' called the current price. In case of the chatting server receiving
the chatting message called '/P 05930' from the user, the chatting server can recognize
automatically that the user want to T(that is, the current price information)' of the item
code 05930(that is Samsung electric).
Also, the CONTENT TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND may apply to a
plurality of identification code at a time. That is, in case of the user inputting the
CONTENTS TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND by form of '/P+G 05930', the user can
be provided along with the current price information and the daily chart of the Samsung
electric simultaneously.
The CONTENTS TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND can apply to the current
price information called '-1' and the daily chart called '-3' in accordance with another
preferred embodiment of the present invention
For example, when the chatting server receives the chatting message called
705930-1' from the user, the chatting server can recognize that the user want to '-l(that is,
the current price information)' of the item code 05930(that is, Samsung electric).
When the chatting server receives the CONTENTS TYPE APPOINTMENT
COMMAND from the user by the inspection result of the step 718, the chatting server
selects a suitable real-time information-provision server to perform the corresponding CONTENTS TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND processing to the step 720 and then
process to step 722.when the chatting server doesn't receive the CONTENTS TYPE
APPOINTMENT COMMAND from the user by the inspection result of the step 718, the
chatting server process directly to the step 722 recognizing that the user request synthetic
information(that is, all information to be able to be provided).
The chatting server transmits the chatting message(that is, the CONTENTS TYPE
APPOINTMENT COMMAND) received for the step 712 to the real-time information-
provision server selected for the step 718 or the step 720 in the step 722.
The real-time information-provision server receives the chatting message(that is,
CONTENTS TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND)transmitted for the step 722 and
searches the real-time information corresponding to the CONTENTS TYPE
APPOINTMENT COMMAND processing to the step 726.
The real-time information-provision server transmits to the chatting server the
real-time information searched for the step 726 in the step 728.
The flow chart illustrated FIG. 7 illustrates as the step 724 and the step 728
perform in the one real-time information-provision server but, when the user requests
many the real-time information simultaneously for the CONTENTS TYPE
APPOINTMENT COMMAND as explanation previously, the step 724 and the step 728 is performed in many the real-time server simultaneously.
The chatting server receives the real-time information to be transmitted for the step
728 in step 730 and inspects whether the user to transmit the corresponding real-time
information for the step 730 is appointed in the chatting message or not.
Let's omit explanation about above-mentioned method to appoint the user holding
the corresponding information in common for the chatting.
When the chatting message received from the user includes the USER TYPE
APPOINTMENT COMMAND (that is, the CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND
appointing target) for the inspection result of step 732, the chatting server process to step
734 and when not, the chatting server processes to step 738.
The chatting server searches a target appointing to the user using the CONTENTS
CONTROL COMMAND in the step 734.
The method to search for target to transmit the corresponding real-time
information may use the identification code to be comprised in the CONTENTS
CONTROL COMMAND as explain previously in the step 734.
In step 736, the chatting server transmits the real-time information received for the
step 730 to the user searched for the step 734 and then process to the step 738.
Referring to the step 732 again, when the corresponding CONTENTS CONTROL COMMAND is provided to all user to be connected the same 'chat room' not appointing a
special target, the chatting server searches for all user to be connected the same 'chat
room' processing to the step 738 and then transmits the corresponding real-time
information processing to the step 736 and processes to step 740.
The chatting program receives the real-time information and then the CONTENTS
CONTROL COMMAND transmitted for the step 736 in the step 740.
In step 742 the chatting program inspects whether the corresponding real-time
information need to display at the user terminal or not using the CONTENTS CONTROL
COMMAND (that is, USER TYPE APPOINTMENT COMMAND) received for the step
740
When the corresponding real-time information needs to display for the user
terminal for the inspection result of the step 742, the corresponding real-time information
is displayed on the user terminal display screen and then process to step 746.
Also, when the corresponding real-time information doesn't need to display for the
user terminal to the inspection result of the step 742, the chatting server processes to the
step 746 directly.
The method that the chatting program established in the user terminal inspects
whether the real-time information transmitted from the chatting server needs to display make use of message folder inserted based on identification code to be comprised in the
chatting message or corresponding identification code
That is, when the chatting message is input by form of '/samsung electric', the
chatting server operates not to display the corresponding chatting message on the other
user terminal display screen of other user not inputting the corresponding chatting message.
Also, when the chatting message is input by form of '=samsung electric', the chatting
server operates to display the corresponding chatting message on the user terminal display
screen of all user connecting the same 'chat room'.
The chatting program inspects in the step 746 whether a chatting ending command
is input from the user or not. When the chatting ending command is input, the step is
ended; otherwise the step 700 is processed again to perform continuously the chatting
service.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the
chatting server transmits to the user terminal only URL position information of the
corresponding real-time information for processing rapidly providing of the real-time
information, it is provided a system and method for providing chatting service and contents
to be able to display on the user terminal display screen receiving automatically The
corresponding real-time information Connecting to the corresponding URL The chatting program established the user terminal.
At this time, for outputting the corresponding real time information in step 744 of
flow chat illustrated FIG.7 further comprises the step that chatting program connects real
time information-provision server and receive the corresponding information form the
corresponding real time providing server.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is
provided a system and method for providing chatting service and contents on the
communications network to able to transmit real time information to the user terminal
directly without being via chatting server for making up for demerit of a heavy load of
the chatting service by being transmitted and received real time information for the
chatting server. At this time, the step 730 and 740 can delete in the flow chat
illustrated FIG.7, the step for the chatting server decreases, the chatting server
processes the chatting service smoothly.
FIG. 8 is a flow chart illustrating for providing real time information for chatting
information in accordance with one preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The FIG.8 presents constitution of the central server to provide the real-time
information of related special item using the chatting information to process for a plurality
