Figure 1 is an example for explaining the invention, and the number of electronic devices or servers is not limited as in Figure 1. In addition, the network environment in FIG. 1 only explains one example of environments applicable to the present embodiments, and the environment applicable to the present embodiments is not limited to the network environment in FIG. 1.

The plurality of electronic devices 110, 120, 130, and 140 may be fixed terminals or mobile terminals implemented as computer devices. Examples of the plurality of electronic devices 110, 120, 130, and 140 include smart phones, mobile phones, navigation devices, computers, laptops, digital broadcasting terminals, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), and Portable Multimedia Players (PMPs). ), tablet PC, etc. For example, in FIG. 1, the shape of a smartphone is shown as an example of the electronic device 110, but in embodiments, the electronic device 110 actually communicates with other electronic devices through the network 170 using a wireless or wired communication method. It may refer to one of a variety of physical computer devices capable of communicating with (120, 130, 140) and/or servers (150, 160).

The communication method is not limited, and may include not only a communication method utilizing a communication network that the network 170 may include (for example, a mobile communication network, wired Internet, wireless Internet, and a broadcast network), but also short-range wireless communication between devices. For example, the network 170 may include a personal area network (PAN), a local area network (LAN), a campus area network (CAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a wide area network (WAN), and a broadband network (BBN). , may include one or more arbitrary networks such as the Internet. Additionally, the network 170 may include any one or more of network topologies including a bus network, star network, ring network, mesh network, star-bus network, tree or hierarchical network, etc. Not limited.

Each of the servers 150 and 160 is a computer device or a plurality of computers that communicate with a plurality of electronic devices 110, 120, 130, 140 and a network 170 to provide commands, codes, files, content, services, etc. It can be implemented with devices. For example, the server 150 may be a system that provides a service (for example, a message movement service, etc.) to a plurality of electronic devices 110, 120, 130, and 140 connected through the network 170.

Figure 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a computer device according to an embodiment. Each of the plurality of electronic devices 110, 120, 130, and 140 described above or each of the servers 150 and 160 may be implemented by the computer device 200 shown in FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, this computer device 200 may include a memory 210, a processor 220, a communication interface 230, and an input/output interface 240. The memory 210 is a computer-readable recording medium and may include a non-permanent mass storage device such as random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), and a disk drive. Here, non-perishable large-capacity recording devices such as ROM and disk drives may be included in the computer device 200 as a separate permanent storage device that is distinct from the memory 210. Additionally, an operating system and at least one program code may be stored in the memory 210. These software components may be loaded into the memory 210 from a computer-readable recording medium separate from the memory 210. Such separate computer-readable recording media may include computer-readable recording media such as floppy drives, disks, tapes, DVD/CD-ROM drives, and memory cards. In another embodiment, software components may be loaded into the memory 210 through the communication interface 230 rather than a computer-readable recording medium. For example, software components may be loaded into memory 210 of computer device 200 based on computer programs installed by files received over network 170.

The processor 220 may be configured to process instructions of a computer program by performing basic arithmetic, logic, and input/output operations. Commands may be provided to the processor 220 by the memory 210 or the communication interface 230. For example, processor 220 may be configured to execute received instructions according to program code stored in a recording device such as memory 210.

The communication interface 230 may provide a function for the computer device 200 to communicate with other devices (eg, the storage devices described above) through the network 170. For example, a request, command, data, file, etc. generated by the processor 220 of the computer device 200 according to a program code stored in a recording device such as memory 210 is transmitted to the network ( 170) and can be transmitted to other devices. Conversely, signals, commands, data, files, etc. from other devices may be received by the computer device 200 through the communication interface 230 of the computer device 200 via the network 170. Signals, commands, data, etc. received through the communication interface 230 may be transmitted to the processor 220 or memory 210, and files, etc. may be stored in a storage medium (as described above) that the computer device 200 may further include. It can be stored as a permanent storage device).

The input/output interface 240 may be a means for interfacing with the input/output device 250. For example, input devices may include devices such as a microphone, keyboard, or mouse, and output devices may include devices such as displays and speakers. As another example, the input/output interface 240 may be a means for interfacing with a device that integrates input and output functions, such as a touch screen. The input/output device 250 may be configured as a single device with the computer device 200.

Additionally, in other embodiments, computer device 200 may include fewer or more components than those of FIG. 2 . However, there is no need to clearly show most prior art components. For example, the computer device 200 may be implemented to include at least some of the input/output devices 250 described above, or may further include other components such as a transceiver, a database, etc.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the message movement method and device will be described.

The computer device 200 according to the embodiment may provide a messaging service to a client through a dedicated application installed on the client or a connection to a web/mobile site related to the computer device 200. The computer device 200 may be configured with a computer-implemented message movement system. For example, the message movement system may be implemented in the form of a program that operates independently, or may be implemented in the form of an in-app of a specific application so that it can operate on the specific application.

The processor 220 of the computer device 200 may be implemented as a component for performing the following message movement method. Depending on the embodiment, components of the processor 220 may be selectively included in or excluded from the processor 220. Additionally, depending on the embodiment, components of the processor 220 may be separated or merged to express the functions of the processor 220.

The processor 220 and its components can control the computer device 200 to perform the steps included in the message movement method below. For example, the processor 220 and its components may be implemented to execute instructions according to the code of an operating system included in the memory 210 and the code of at least one program.

Here, the components of the processor 220 may be expressions of different functions performed by the processor 220 according to instructions provided by program codes stored in the computer device 200.

The processor 220 may read necessary instructions from the memory 210 where instructions related to controlling the computer device 200 are loaded. In this case, the read command may include an command for controlling the processor 220 to execute steps that will be described later.

Steps including the message movement method to be described later may be performed in an order different from the order shown, and some of the steps may be omitted or additional processes may be included.

Figure 3 is a flowchart showing an example of a method that a computer device can perform according to an embodiment.

In step S310, the processor 220 may store location identification information related to an unread message determined based on messages transmitted and received in the chat room. The processor 220 may determine unread messages among messages sent and received in the chat room by checking whether the chat room screen is exposed. The processor 220 may determine unread messages that exist in the chat room but have not been confirmed by the user, that is, not displayed on the chat room screen. At this time, when the user leaves the chat room, the processor 220 may determine unread messages that are not displayed on the chat room screen. For example, when a user configured as a member of the chat room leaves the chat room, the processor 220 may determine whether there are unread messages for the user. The processor 220 may store location identification information including identification information of the last message displayed on the chat room screen or location data of the chat room screen including the determined unread message. When there are a plurality of unread messages, the processor 220 may store location identification information of the first unread message or location identification information of the last message displayed on the chat room screen. At this time, location identification information is information for storing unread messages and may include message ID, location data of the message, location data of the chat room screen, etc. The processor 220 may store location identification information of unread messages.

In step S320, the processor 220 may provide movement to location data of the determined unread message using location identification information related to the stored unread message. The processor 220 provides a user interface for moving to the determined unread message, and can move to the location data of the unread message in the chat room through the provided user interface for moving to the unread message. Alternatively, the processor 220 may provide a user interface for moving to an unread message determined to be an unread message, and may move to the location data of the last message displayed on the chat room screen through the provided user interface for moving to an unread message. As the user interface for moving to the provided unread message is selected, the processor 220 can move to the location data of the unread message in the chat room or the last message displayed on the chat room screen by scrolling based on the currently displayed chat room screen. The processor 220 may move to the first unread message among the plurality of unread messages. The processor 220 may display the last message displayed on the chat room screen and a plurality of unread messages included after the last message.

Figure 4 is a detailed flowchart to explain a method of moving an unread message in a messenger, according to one embodiment.

In the embodiment, an operation of moving from a messenger providing a messaging service to a determined unread message among messages sent and received in a chat room will be described.

The processor 220 may receive unconfirmed information about the user's message in the chat room (S410). Here, the user's unconfirmed message information means that the user has not confirmed messages displayed/undisplayed on the chat room screen among messages sent and received in the chat room. For example, at least one user may enter a chat room. At this time, the chat room may be a space of various types, such as 1:1, 1:N, or open chat room, and may be configured so that users can enter and exit freely. Through these chat rooms, various types of messages such as text, audio, video, and emoticons can be sent and received between users. The processor 220 may store chat room information including information on users configured as members of the chat room. For example, the processor 220 determines information on users who are members of the chat room, chat room name, chat room type, information on the last message read by the user, information on unread messages that the user has not read, and when the user leaves. Location identification data, etc. of unread messages can be stored.

The processor 220 may determine whether an unread message exists in the chat room (S420). For example, the processor 220 may determine whether there are unread messages in the chat room for the user configured as a chat room member when the user (re)enters. At this time, the processor 220 does not determine whether an unread message exists when a new user other than a user configured as a chat room member enters the chat room.

As it is determined that there is an unread message in the chat room, the processor 220 may display a user interface that allows users to move to the unread message (S430). For example, the user interface that allows movement to unread messages may be configured in the form of a button to receive the user's selection. The processor 220 can move to an unread message through the user's selection using the displayed user interface. Users can check unread messages. Alternatively, the processor 220 may determine that there are no unread messages in the chat room. At this time, the fact that there is no unread message means that the user confirmed the unread message or that the unread message did not exist in the first place.

The processor 220 may receive unconfirmed information about the user's message in the chat room (S440). Here, the user's unconfirmed message information means that the user has not confirmed messages displayed/undisplayed on the chat room screen among messages sent and received in the chat room. For example, at least one user can leave a chat room. The processor 220 may determine whether there are unread messages in the chat room for the user when leaving the chat room (S450). When it is determined that an unread message exists, the processor 220 may store location data or a message ID of the chat room screen of the unread message locally or on a server (S460). For example, multiple devices may be supported in a messenger that provides a messaging service. A user can connect to a messenger through a first electronic device and send and receive messages in a chat room, or connect to a messenger through a second electronic device and send and receive a new message by continuing messages sent and received in the same chat room. Accordingly, messages transmitted and received through the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be linked and accumulated in the same chat room. The processor 220 may store chat room screen location data or message ID in the server to support multi-device. The processor 220 may terminate the processor as it is determined that there are no unread messages.

Figure 5 is an example to explain an unread message in a chat room, according to one embodiment.

The processor 220 may display messages transmitted and received in the chat room on the chat room screen 500. At this time, among the messages transmitted and received within the chat room, there may be an unread message 510 that is not exposed on the user's chat room screen 500. The unread message 510 is a message that is not displayed on the chat room screen 500 among the messages sent and received in the chat room, and refers to a message that has not been viewed by the user, that is, a message that has not been read by the user. Among the messages sent and received in the chat room, the unread message 510 is not scrolled and exists in an invisible area on the chat room screen 500. After the user leaves the chat room without reading the unread message 510, he or she may re-enter the chat room. If it is determined that the user left the chat room without reading all of the messages, the processor 220 provides a means to move to the previous location in the chat room (for example, location data of unread messages) when the user later re-enters the chat room. can be provided.

Figure 6 is an example to explain an operation of storing location identification information related to an unread message, according to an embodiment.

The processor 220 may store location identification information related to the unread message 510 determined based on messages transmitted and received in the chat room. For example, the processor 220 may store location identification information related to the unread message 510 based on the user's unread message information in the chat room. At this time, the user's unconfirmed message information is collected even if the user is in the chat room, the user is checking another message, the user leaves the chat room, switches from the messaging service to another service connected to the messaging service, or the messaging service is unintentionally interrupted and the chat room is opened. It means not checking my messages.

The processor 220 may determine whether an unread message 510 is among messages transmitted and received in a chat room by checking whether the chat room screen 500 is exposed. For example, if the number of determined unread messages is more than a preset number (for example, 10), the processor 220 may store location data of the chat room screen including the determined unread message 510. At this time, a reference value for determining an unread message may be set in advance. If the number of determined unread messages is less than or equal to a preset number, the processor 220 does not store the location data of the chat room screen including the determined unread messages. As another example, the processor 220 may store identification information (eg, message ID) 610 of the last message 520 displayed on the chat room screen 500. At this time, the processor 220 may store location data of the chat room screen including the determined unread message or identification information of the last message 520 displayed on the chat room screen to a local disk or server.

Figure 7 is an example for explaining an operation of providing a user interface for moving an unread message, according to an embodiment.

The processor 220 may determine whether there is an unread message for the user in the chat room as it receives information on the user's unread message in the chat room.

The processor 220 may provide a user interface 710 for moving to the determined unread message. The processor 220 may display a user interface 710 for moving to an unread message within the chat room through the chat room screen 500. The user interface 710 is displayed on the chat room screen 500 to move to unread messages, and can be located at a preset position (top, bottom, left, right) of the chat room. For example, the user interface 710 may be set to be located at the bottom right of the chat room. Alternatively, the location of the user interface 710 may be set according to the user's settings.

Additionally, the processor 220 may also provide a user interface for moving to the latest message. For example, the processor 220 may display the user interface 710 for moving to an unread message and the user interface for moving to the latest message through the chat room screen 500. The processor 220 can move to an unread message by selecting the user interface 710 for moving to an unread message by the user. After reading the unread message portion by the user, the processor 220 can move to the latest message through selection of a user interface for moving to the latest message by the user.

For example, as a user enters a chat room, the processor 220 may display the latest messages transmitted and received in the chat room after the user's entry on the chat room screen 500. The processor 220 may display the latest messages transmitted and received in the chat room after the user enters the chat room screen 500 and a user interface 710 for moving to unread messages. The processor 220 may provide movement to the location of an unread message in a chat room through the user interface 710 for movement to an unread message. For example, as the user interface 710 displayed on the chat room screen 500 is selected, the user may be moved to the chat room screen 500 displaying unread messages.

As another example, the processor 220 may display messages transmitted and received in the chat room, including the user's unread messages, on the chat room screen 500 as the user enters the chat room. For example, the processor 220 may not display the latest messages currently being sent or received after the user enters the chat room on the chat room screen 500, but may display the last messages before the user leaves the chat room. The processor 220 may display a user interface 710 for moving to an unread message through the chat room screen 500 on which the last messages before leaving the chat room are displayed. At this time, the processor 220 may display the latest messages transmitted and received in the chat room after the user enters the chat room screen 500 along with a user interface 710 for moving to unread messages. For example, as the user interface 710 displayed on the chat room screen 500 is selected, the user may be moved to the chat room screen 500 displaying unread messages.

Alternatively, the processor 220 may display the user's unread message on the chat room screen 500 as the user enters the chat room. The processor 220 may provide a user interface for moving to the latest message on the chat room screen 500 where unread messages are displayed. After the unread message is confirmed by the user, the processor 220 can move to the latest message through a user interface for moving to the latest message.

Figure 8 is an example to explain an operation for providing movement of unread messages within a chat room, according to an embodiment.

The processor 220 can move to the location data of the unread message in the chat room through the user interface for moving to the unread message. As the user interface for moving to the unread message is selected, the processor 220 can move the chat room screen 500 to the location data of the unread message in the chat room through the scroll 820 on the currently displayed chat room screen. For example, this may be a situation in which a user checks messages that are continuously sent and received in a chat room. In this situation, if the unread message is not confirmed, a user interface for moving to the unread message may be displayed at a specific location (for example, at the bottom) of the currently displayed chat room screen. Accordingly, the processor 220 may move the chat room screen 500 to the location data of the unread message in the chat room through the scroll 820 as the user interface for moving to the unread message in the currently displayed chat room screen is selected. The scroll 820 provides movement to an unread message by moving the chat room screen 500 up and down or left and right according to the user's input, that is, selection of a user interface for moving to an unread message. The processor 220 displays an unread message 510 or an unread message 510 including the last message displayed on the chat room screen 500 based on the user's entry information into the chat room on the chat room screen 500 moved through the scroll 820. ) can be displayed. Alternatively, processor 220 may display message 810 containing location information related to a previously read message. For example, the processor 220 may display a message 810 that says 'I have read this far before.' Processor 220 may display unread message 510 after message 810 that includes location information related to previously read messages.

The processor 220 may move to the unread message through the scroll 820 as the user interface for moving to the unread message is selected. As the unread message corresponding to the moved location is confirmed, the processor 220 may remove the user interface for moving to the unread message. At this time, if the user interface for moving to the unread message is not selected and the user starts scrolling up or down, the processor 220 may delete the user interface for moving to the unread message.

Additionally, when a user enters or re-enters a chat room, the processor 220 may not display a user interface for moving to an unread message as it is determined that there are no unread messages in the chat room. Similarly, when a user enters or re-enters a chat room, if the location data of the current chat room screen and the location data of the chat room screen including the stored unread message are the same, the processor 220 controls the user to move to the unread message. The interface can be hidden.

Additionally, the processor 220 may determine whether a new unread message exists after the unread message is confirmed. For example, after displaying the user interface for moving to unread messages, new messages sent and received in the chat room may exist even though they are not displayed on the chat room screen. If it is determined that a new unread message exists, the processor 220 may provide a user interface for moving to a new unread message. Additionally, when a user leaves a chat room without checking the unread message, the processor 220 can maintain a user interface for moving to the unread message.
