Methods for providing selected subordinate messages, servers, and user terminals.

Abstract

This invention provides a method, program, and user terminal that allow users to easily understand other users' reactions to a specific chat message by providing selected dependent messages from among the dependent messages for that specific chat message together through the chat room. [Solution] The method includes: step 201 providing a chat room to a user terminal that generates messages that are divided into chat messages and subordinate messages (wherein the subordinate messages are subordinate to any one of the chat messages, with the subordinate messages being based on the basic message); and step 203 providing a selected subordinate message corresponding to the target chat message through the chat room if predetermined conditions are met for at least one of the chat messages that is a target chat message.

[Claim 6] In the method according to claim 1, Upon confirming that a new subordinate message has been generated for the target chat message, the further step includes providing information associated with the generation of the new subordinate message through the chat room. method. [Claim 7] In the method according to claim 1, The aforementioned predetermined conditions are associated with the generation of a new subordinate message to the target chat message. method. [Claim 8] In the method according to claim 1, The aforementioned predetermined conditions are associated with the activity level of subordinate messages to the target chat message, The activity level is based on at least one of the number and time intervals over which dependent messages are generated for the target chat message. method. [Claim 9] In the method according to claim 1, The aforementioned predetermined conditions are associated with reactions to the target chat message. method. [Claim 10] In the method according to claim 1, The aforementioned predetermined conditions are associated with the response index of the account that generated the target chat message. The response index is based on at least one of the subordinate messages and reactions to the existing chat messages of the account. method. [Claim 11] In the method according to claim 1, The aforementioned predetermined conditions relate to whether or not the chat room is a chat room for which different permissions are provided to generate the aforementioned messages. method. [Claim 12] In the method according to claim 1, The aforementioned predetermined conditions are associated with the permissions of the account that generated the chat message. method. [Claim 13] In the method according to claim 1, The selected dependent message is at least one of the dependent messages that are dependent on the target chat message. The selected subordinate message is determined based on the reaction of the target chat message to the subordinate message. method. [Claim 14] In the method according to claim 1, The types of chat rooms include a first type of chat room that can provide subordinate messages in response to the chat message, and a second type of chat room that cannot provide subordinate messages in response to the chat message. The further step includes receiving information about the type of chat room from the operator's terminal of the chat room. method. [Claim 15] A server that provides selected dependent messages, Memory and A processor connected to the memory and configured to execute instructions contained in the memory, The processor is configured to perform each step of the method according to any one of claims 1 to 14. server. [Claim 16] A method for displaying a selected subordinate message on a user terminal, The steps include: displaying a chat room containing messages that are classified as chat messages and subordinate messages (wherein the subordinate messages are subordinate to any one of the chat messages, with the subordinate message being the base message); If at least one of the aforementioned chat messages is a target chat message that satisfies predetermined conditions, the steps include displaying a selected dependent message for the target chat message together with the target chat message through the chat room, The steps include receiving an interaction with at least one of the target chat message and the selected dependent message, The steps include displaying the thread containing the target chat message and the selected subordinate message through a separate object distinct from the chat room, method. [Claim 17] A user terminal that displays a selected subordinate message, Memory and A processor connected to the memory and configured to execute instructions contained in the memory, The processor is configured to perform each step of the method according to claim 16. User terminal. [Claim 18] A hardware that causes a computer to perform each step of the method according to any one of claims 1 to 14 and claim 16, program.
